Clocks and Books

Arrgh, those damn farmers! Making the clocks change again! It is too light to have dinner now!

Anyway, 'twas our school's book day today and my form decided to dress up as various characters from Harry Potter. I was Scabbers, seeing as I already had the costume for Imogen's birthday party (I had the ears, tail, hands (front paws!) and the nose. (Which mainly just hung round my neck looking like some torture device because I didn't like wearing it)). Sadly we did not win the costume competition, our house only came 2nd. But we did backcomb Divya's hair (she was Hagrid) so that she looked like someone out of the 80s... except the clothes weren't 80s...)

The rest of the day was pretty fun. Livvi was Neville and had brought along a dead potted plant. She has now seemingly fallen in love with aforementioned dead pot plant (nicknamed Droopy), going to "hang out with it" and stroking it's leaves. I tried to steal the plant to rescue her from this crazy notion (I was actually just feeling damn evil and in a stealing mood). I even created a picture:















She also thinks that me swearing at her is 'cute'. That was not the desired effect dammit!

We also argued over who we thought was hot (since on Saturday evening/very early Sunday morning I had been perving on Duff McKagan in Velvet Revolver videos, and now Livvi has dubbed me 'pervy Fia'. Like an alter ego. I think I should have names for all my alter egos. Like rocker Fia, last minute homeworker Fia and let's mock Livvi Fia) and she doesn't think Duff is hot. She does however think that Clint Eastwood is hot, who is old enough to be her grandfather. Even Zoë agrees with me on Duff's hotness Livvi. Who agrees with you on Clint's hotness? Huh?

I have just realised how damn evil I have been to Livvi today. I blame it on the rat ears.

Actually I am usually evil to her. I'm sure she has gotten used to it.

The Invasion of the Charity Shops

Today me, Livvi, Jess and Hannah met up (Lily couldn't come due to her mum wanting her to revise) and we went round all the charity shops. My hometown literally has 83208 charity shops and 23750 cafes. But it is fun going around all the shops. According to Jess, my charity shops are actually of good quality and she found a few dresses which she bought. Hannah bought a couple of tops (one of which she thought made her look like a clown) and some earrings. In one of the shops there was some weird flower cardigan that actually looked quite good on Hannah in a really odd way, but she didn't buy it. Also the Alice Cooper LP has gone from Cancer Research UK! Afterwards we all went to a cafe and had a bite to eat (since I wasn't hungry. But I am very hungry now). Also, in one of the shops they were playing Taylor Swift's Love Story. I have only heard that song once before but I hate it so much. I have never done that with a song before. gah.

I have now discovered a love for Sisters of Mercy (thank you Last.fm!) - I really want to buy Floodland when I next get money. They are so cool and they have a drum machine which in my opinion is WIN. They are also playing Muse on the radio at the moment who I hate. The clocks have now gone forward and it is apparently midnight. Silly farmers.

I am also getting a Dead Messenger CD (they are my cousin's band). He is sending it over from Canada. I am excited!

Life On Mars

(WARNING: this whole blog post is likely to contain Life On Mars spoilers, so if you haven't seen it (especially the finale!!!!), don't read this post!)

I finished LOM today and what can I say, it is a brilliant TV series. Much better than Ashes to Ashes. I might go a bit hyper now. Sam going back to 1973! Sam and Annie! Everyone! yays! It is such a shame that it was a short series, but also a good thing, as I don't think it would work out as a long running TV show. I honestly don't know what to write, I'm pretty speechless after the finale. He jumps off the building! nnnnnnnnnnnnh.

Everyone should watch it, it is so good! Sorry for the short blog post, I am rather speechless.

Note to self:

Do NOT have trippy Pink Floyd songs in your head when you go to school and then talk to Livvi. With her random cries of 'Alice!' 'Muppets!' and 'Fwah!' you are sure to go crazy after some time, as Pink Floyd further gives the illusion that you are tripping. I had 'Sheep' in my head at the start of the day (the end guitary bit which I love) which was slightly trippy and then later on in the afternoon I had 'Run Like Hell', which, as we all know, is very trippy. This is why I seemed slightly out of it in French and Madame Hunter told me to wake up. I wasn't sleeping! I can't remember what I was doing... it was all a hazy blur.

Oh and Livvi, sorry to say but your obsession with Alice Cooper is getting a bit too obsessive now. It was funny at first but now you cannot say anything without relating it to him! You were never this obsessive with Mick! This is why I was in a Pink Floyd bubble today. Except that made it worse! Trippy! Tomorrow I'll have something else in my head that isn't trippy! Maybe each time you get a new rock star obsession it will get worse. Mick wasn't bad. Alice is getting pretty bad. Next person you are obsessed with will be terrible. I will save you somehow! With ham and cheese toasties.

Second blog of the day!

Earlier, our car, a cute blue Renault Clio, went up in flames! I had to cycle to it as it is about a 5 minute cycle from our house. Unfortunately by the time I got there the fire had been put out but you could see the car and the front of it was completely melted. The back was fine but the front... it was just completely melted and all gooey. It was actually pretty fucking cool (forgetting the fact that the car is beyond repair). Here is the full extent of it's meltyness:































Is it only me that wonders what cars would look like if they were people? In my head our Clio would be some cute petite young woman who was sporty, and our silver Espace would be some fat old builder type. I also imagine BMWs to be hot businessmen for some reason.

Weekend

Had a pretty eventful Saturday and a pretty uneventful Sunday. Saturday morning I went out and collected money for Marie Curie and afterwards went to Imogen's Harry Potter themed party. I was Scabbers and wore rat ears, nose, hands and a tail. I gave Imogen a card (it was a Tardis and you could open it like the two sides were doors! It was so cool), pens and a book called 'Doctor Whom', which I have never read, I just thought she'd enjoy it seeing as she is a big Doctor Who fan. (also, everyone is shocked that I don't find David Tennant attractive). We played a couple of games (including pin the tail on the Thestral) and then ended up watching Juno. I saw Juno in the cinema last year and although I didn't mind it it really is not the sort of movie I want to see twice, but we only saw a bit anyway before everyone left.

Saturday evening was slightly trippy as I made Livvi listen to the Alice Cooper evening show on Planet Rock and then she decided that Alice Cooper was a giant cookie. And that he should do the dusting in the house because it is sexy. So today I got bored in physics and drew a giant cookie dancing with a top hat for her. Now she is going to stick it on her wall. It also looks slightly creepy but it will go well with The Joker poster I gave her for Christmas. Oh and I also can't say 'Deep Purple' without Livvi mocking me, due to the fact I was headbanging and air guitaring/drumming to them whilst drunk and couldn't get up off the floor. I'm never going to live that one down.

Also, just created a Twitter account as they seem to be all the rage these days. If you want to add me comment and I'll give you the address. I can't upload a profile pic though, the little man comes up saying 'that's a nice picture' but it still is the o_O face. Apparently it is a widespread problem and not just me so I hope it will be fixed soon!

Wasted.

Last night I went round to a Zoë's house with Hannah, Jess and Livvi. I got completely wasted for the first time in my life. A lot of vomiting was involved afterwards.

Basically we were having a Casanova party where we watched Casanova (the BBC series not the film). We discovered that Pimm's on vanilla ice cream is actually rather nice. One should try it sometime. Afterwards we watched Blackpool (by which I was rather tipsy) and I saw the "singy sex" which was weird. I keep on drinking and then suddenly I am completely drunk and headbanging and air guitaring to Deep Purple which suddenly came out of nowhere, played for two songs and then disappeared. Probably better that they turned it off than left it on to be honest. Later on the Princess Bride suddenly appeared on the television and I was on the sofa. I could have sworn that PB was skipping. I was also yelling out for Buttercup to appear since she wasn't there but Westley and Inigo were. It distressed me. I also swear a heck of a lot when drunk. I am also extrovert when drunk instead of introvert.

Later on it was dark and the vomiting stage began. It was only me and Livvi who had reached this stage. Jess and Hannah had been sensible and not drunken much; and Zoë drinks loads anyway and so has built up a high tolerance. I am very grateful for Jess and Hannah because they were up looking after me and Livvi and *hugs* for them for being such great people.

I'm sure you don't want the yucky details of the vomit...

Anyway today me and Livvi were in total zombie state. And we had to go to guitar in Kingston. Once we had got to Kingston we both felt that we were in some dream. A huge mobile phone with arms and legs waving at everyone did not help. But now I am some weird state where I just want to listen to music and sing and dance a bit. I cannot dance since the laptop is on my lap. I cannot sing because I don't know the song that well (listening to Last.fm - Sisters of Mercy!). But I am listening to music ;)

I have a serious music addiction. :)
