If you're alone and you're eating, speak to a chef..

I look outside.


It's cold. It's windy. It's raining.

It's officially winter.



When I say Winter, the first thing you think of is Snow and Christmas, am I right?


Yeah. That's what I thought.


Rain and wind is NOT part of the deal winter! Give us Summer back.


Was watching Crash, which is an AWESOME film about Racism and bigotry, Nathan Dillon and Sandra Bullock are in it (despite having minor parts) and it's directed by John Haggis, brillaint film, I recommend it.


"You think you know who you are? You have no idea"
Love the tagline so much. 


Anyway, I braved the elements (No medal necessary) and went to the bus stop. 


Got to school, yadda yadda, you know the drill.


DOUBLE ENGLISH

So, for a double period, we had no english teacher.


We did, on the other hand, have two subs.


Mrs Fulton (Legend) and Ms *trails off*


Hay? Is she Ms Hay?


Ms Grubb?


Ahhh I don't know.


Me and Lee sat and talked for the first period, she drew some more fruit for her fruitbowl and talked about "Om Nom Friday's" 


Details on that coming soon ;)


Then we went to the other room to "Copy down notes"


From the computer.


Why can't we just print them off?


Because our school is poor and we can't afford photocopying.


Unless... there's no teacher to disapprove of this decision!


So that's what we did. 

We printed off 50 sheets of paper... 2 bits for the whole class, plus at least ten extra.



Because we're worth it.


Then Billy was telling us about this book, "The Life Of Pi".


BILLY: It's about this Indian boy from... Somewhere in India... Begins with a P...
MEGAN: Pakistan?
BILLY: No.
CAITLIN: Popadopolous?
BILLY: NO!
CAITLIN: Pompeii?
MS HAY: That's in Greece.
BILLY: Go look up Cities in India that start with P! Actually... It could be a C....
MEGAN: Oh my god, do we need to know this?!
MS HAY: *Looks up City* Pondicherry.
BILLY: PONDICHERRY! That's it! Well, he comes from there, and his Dad owns a farm, and the zoo has to...
KATIE: A zoo?
BILLY: Yeah.
KATIE: You said farm.
BILLY: Well I meant zoo. The zoo has to move so they put all of the animals on a boat, and the boat starts sinking so the little boy gets thrown onto this life boat, and he saves a tiger, then he realises, "Wait a minute, this could eat me" but it was too late cause the tiger was already on the boat, but it didn't do anything because he was tired with exhaustion...
ME: *To Lee* Was he high when he read this? 
Then he made us do this quiz, to learn the notes we got printed out, so everyone had to come up with team names.


Me, Lee and Jo didn't know what to call our's... So Billy helped us out...


BILLY: Okay Ms, right down the G. A. Shoots.
 Patiently, he waits for people to get the sexual innuendo.


Some people didn't get it. To which, Billy told them to say it all together and quickly.


If you are one of the people that didn't get that joke, see page below:


I aim to educate you on Sexual Innuendos. Your welcome.



Some people took longer than others.
 MS HAY: .... OH!!... That's disgusting.
Billy was quiz master.


This involved three things:
  1. Tickling people with Ms Shaw's feathery duster.
  2. Reading out questions into an oversized foam microphone (Yeah, that was just lying about...)
  3. And finally, impersonating this guy.
Sexy.

DOUBLE HUMAN BIOLOGY

Not much was done.

I felt like a bitty of a waste of space that day! Not doing any work.

I felt bad for Dr Robo... he was getting a lot of cheek.
"No-one can be bothered"
"We're really bored."
"Is anyone actually listening?"
Poor guy. He's actually a really good teacher if you just pay attention!


I went home after that, thank god for double last on a Monday!


Went to town after that, nice just to have some time to yourself.


 There was this third/fourth year girl in Menkind, she had a pram (with a baby in it yes. Daughter? Sister? You're guess is as good as mine) and she sat in the massager seat for half an hour.


During school?


Hahaaaaa, god, the youth of today.


I apologise on our behalf!


CONFESSION OF A MOVIE GEEK:
I'm not like most teenagers. I don't go out drinking. I don't smoke. I'm not a slut. I sleep, eat, talk and watch movies. And I am content with that.

Got my Dad some Campervan cufflinks and a mug. His Birthday is soon. So's my Mums. Need to get her a prezzie too. Any ideas?

I went for a late lunch after that. I really wanted a Frankie and Benny's, but it looks so bad if you go in by yourself.

So went to yo sushi instead, I know most of the people in their anyways, not by name, but by face.

This girl from behind the counter smiled at me and then told me to take a seat wherever, then this boy came over and asked me if I've been to yo suhi before.

Automatic reaction is always "Yeaaaah" with a huge grin.

After my automatic reaction, I always want to change it to "Yeah, i suppose you could say that... you're new, aren't you?"

Then this chef that looked like George Takei (a LITTLE bit like George Takei)


Yeah, well he started speaking to me and he took my order, bless! ^_^

So I gave em a tip for making me full and feel less lonely.

Then went to starbucks.

God damn it Bethany Joy.

She should really become their spokesperson.

They'd do well.

Anyways, I had a gingerbread latte, pretty tasty! Got sickening by the end though, but I had a Muffin Break cookie (I know, how fat am I?) and it gives the coffee a REALLY good after taste, like gingerbread dough.

NOM!

Woaaaah. I actually did something today.

Don't you just hate it when you wake up with a jump?


That little minuscule jump that instantly wakes you up?


You know the one I'm meaning?


6am this morning, I heard my Dad's alarm go off and I jumped awake...


Booo.


Not all bad. Watched Pretty in Pink, written by John Hughes. 


Brilliant. No-one writes teen movies like John Hughes!


Was meant to be watching Despicable me with Chloe today, but she never phoned (she phoned about 2 hours ago to explain the reason, I forgive).


I didn't know this however, so I spent an hour trying to finish off her LATE birthday present, A diamond encrusted stick.


Let's keep the explanation of that to a minimum.


I told Chloe that I would be entertained for hours if you only gave me a stick.


Chloe said she would be the same, but ONLY if it was diamond encrusted.


Hence the stick.


It looks a bitty like a baby Harry Potter wand for gays at the moment. Very flash.


Also, took some pictures for "Love is Louder".




For some reason, that's my favourite. Don't know why though.


Got bored waiting around for something to happen, so I decided to go to town and try getting an idea for what to buy people for Christmas Presents.


Right. I'll explain what happened outside of Azendi (a Jewellery shop)


There was this woman who wanted to go window shopping in front of Azendi.


Fair enough, right?


She slams her head off of the glass...


Like, WHAM.


And she makes the cutest little "Oof!" you've ever heard.


The desire to laugh was almost unstoppable. 


I felt sorry for her, she made herself look like an idiot (I'm not being mean, I've done it before, you feel so stupid after it happens) but c'mon! I was brought up on You've been framed! Physical humour is the type of humour that creates the most laughter!


Why? Probably because our Caveman ancestors laughed at physical humour because they hadn't developed conversation yet. So it's begs to be let out.


I managed to control myself (Just smiled like an idiot).


Bethany Joy Galeotti has got me craving Peppermint hot chocolate now...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siNl88zvvko

Watch the video, curse you're craving for the tasty drink later on.


Go on Starbucks, Joy has to be the perfect sales person for your drink!! Look at that cheeser and try to deny her cutesy English accent!


Don't know how it could possibly be fun to drink. Screw it. If Joy says it is fun to drink, It is fun to drink.


See... the problem with this pariticular craving? Starbucks aren't selling it...


I know. I feel you're pain.


So I had to make do with a Vanilla Latte.... mmmmm.... my favourite!




100% fairtrade! Rejoice coffee lovers! You're making the world a better place! And Starbucks to go cups make a tasty AND cosy treat. It's like a drink and a hand-warmer rolled into one!

Back to Christmas presents.

I know what to buy Chloe, Michelle, Halle (I THINK), Ashleigh (If she hasn't already bought it), Mum and Dad.

Problems lie with my secret santa....

SPOILER ALERT so I'mma write it in white... highlight next line to receive the name.

Sara :) Again!

Got that? Haven't a clue. Problemo.

And Lewis. Don't know what to buy him. First time I have to buy a guy a present in AGES. Feels good! Sending some love your way man, even though you're living it up in Egypt at the mo!

Also, happiness, got a twitter reply from Laura Izibor! What a sweetie-pie!
She plays Erin on the new Season of One Tree Hill and sings this song....
Listen to the chorus...

Recognize it?

Two words.

Special. K.

Add an extra one if you want it to make sense (Advert)

Right. Away to do something else... 

Later guys and gals

MWAH xx

P.S. Nice little flower picture for yah to enjoy before it dies out.... Say goodbye to Summer!
