Me and my family spent Christmas at our holiday home in the countryside which happens to be a converted windmill (without the sails sadly). Lack of computer down there made it unable for me to blog on Christmas day, and I arrived back yesterday but was too tired to blog.
Anyway there was nothing spectacular about Christmas this year. I received little odds and ends from my brother and sister. Grandma sent me a large book on art - "The Story Of Art" which I am now reading and is actually quite interesting. I got other little bits and money from aunts, uncles and godparents. My parents gave me the game 'We ♥ Katamari', which, in my opinion, is the most addicting game ever. I had no idea how rolling up stuff could be so damn fun. My sister loves it too. I am still awaiting a couple of CDs (to be honest I actually don't know which ones I want - I keep changing. It was Aerosmith and Magnum, then it changed to Skid Row and Cinderella, and now it's The Doors. Also, I have just found out that there are two bands called Skid Row which has annoyed me for some reason (like when I found out that there were two Nirvanas). No idea why.) Anyway I'll be getting some CDs soon, as I haven't bought one for five months! And I hate half my CD collection.
Last week of the holidays and I need to revise for mock GCSEs. Ah well, it means I get to listen to music all day long...

Weekend
I actually just wasted this weekend which was really stupid. Playing SOTC and watching TV and pretty much doing absolutely nothing. I watched the first episode of the Survivors remake which was okay, didn't really grab me but nor did it make me want to stick pins in my eyes out of boredom. So I'll probably watch the next episode.
My school had it's craft fair on Sunday and there was a magician there! I know I'm a bit old to get excited over magicians but !!. I really want to know how they do their tricks as it really annoys me not knowing. Like there was one where he pours milk into a cone made of newspaper, and he poured so much milk in it started to drip out the end of the newspaper. Then he screws the newspaper up and there is no milk! The paper is completely dry! And it's a single sheet of paper so that the milk cannot be absorbed! And then there's the traditional put-the-tissues-in-a-tube-one-by-one-and-pull-them-out-knotted trick. How is it done? I'm so fascinated by it. I want to become a magician now just so I can go "Hah! I know how to do this trick and you can't". And piss everybody off. But then I guess it wouldn't be as fun since you know how to do it and it isn't magical any more.

Ill
Past weekend I spent ill; I think I probably still am. I acquired a really bad cough (still). I had one that lasted for a month once so I'm going to have to get used to it. I'm sneezing a lot too which I hate. I also wish I could stop being so damn hungry. All the time. I have an insane appetite. I eat more than my Dad when it comes to roast dinners. And then I will be hungry the next day. /rant
Today on the train on the way back home I heard some people talking about Harry Potter; and *spoiler* why Snape killed Dumbledore and I had completely forgotten why he did that. So I got stressed for the rest of the train journey (five minutes, yeah) until I could get home and get HP7 out and read the chapter. As you can see I get annoyed over silly things, but that's the way I roll.

Back from Tunisia
It's been half term week and it has gone so quickly. We all went to Tunisia for our holiday, having been there once before three years ago. It wasn't so sunny this time but most days still had amazingly great weather. The hotel still had amazingly great food. Again we took a camel ride which was bumpy. Also, they have the most random cereals over there; Hamtaro, Barbie, TMNT, Iron Kid and Naruto cereals are all available to be bought. Sadly we didn't get any though. I read three books whilst I was there; No Time For Goodbye, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, half of Pride and Prejudice and half of The Kite Runner. All were good books; I only reread P&P for school otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

The past week
Last Friday I got a new haircut... which involved getting a fringe. It was weird at first, considering I haven't had a fringe for about 6 years. I'm used to it now. It's fun to flick it out of your eyes by shaking your head.
Last weekend I went on a geography trip to Swanage. It was really nice and I got sunburnt. It was sunnier there than it has been all summer long. We walked along the cliffs and visited Old Harry Rocks, which are beautiful. We then visited shops in Swanage town and ate ice cream. The ice cream had a dinosaur on it, 'twas awesome. We stayed in a centre and we had the largest room, so some of the people on the trip decided to see if we could get everyone into it. We managed to get half before everyone cleared out. The next day we went to Lulworth Cove, again, very beautiful. Our guide person talked so much and kept on mentioning that ''three quarters of a million people visit here every year. Imagine having one and a half million feet walking along here *points to path*'' She mentioned it about twenty times.

International talk like a pirate day!
Well as you know today was international talk like a pirate day! Arrr. After school the spork pirates got together and did the usual: have a picnic of bread, houmous, gummy worms and lemonade. This time round we also bought some giant chocolate buttons. We ate this in a graveyard which had a children's playground slap-bang in the middle of it (it is weird I know).
Decided I want to buy a new mp3: the Creative Zen 8GB for £70. I'm almost there. Should be getting it in a couple of weeks time. I also think I need a new camera as my current one is alright but not that good.

Summer
At the start of the summer holidays the whole family headed off to Somerset. We have a converted windmill holiday home thing down there that we stay in. It was über boring as we go there five times a year and do mostly nothing. So I started a new FFIII game even though I haven't finished the first one. It was boring and we're going there again at the end of the holidays.
After that I had a free week when I did my homework. I was dreading the end of the week when I had to go to some Quaker Holiday Camp because it sounded a little boring and I hadn't gone to York by train on my own before.
A couple of days before I went to York we found someone who I could travel with from London to York. At 1:30 on Sunday I boarded the train with another girl called Holly. After a 2 hour train ride and a taxi drive I arrived at the holiday camp. People greeted me and took me to the main hall, where I met my two cousins. There were a lot of people there, all talking. It was quite intimidating as the only two people I knew were my cousins, but they made me feel more at home. I met the people who I was to share a room with and they seemed quite friendly. Actually, you're probably going to get quite bored of reading this, I could go into every minute detail about the camp. Basically, to sum it up, it was one of the most amazing and most fun weeks of my life. I was completely wrong about it being boring. The people there were so nice (scarily so) and the atmosphere is so happy. It has made me feel a lot more confident in life and has also made me hate school even more as most people there are just gah.
Anyway, today I am suffering from post holiday camp depression, life just feels so lonely and bare now. I went out to HMV today and bought three new albums, Led Zeppelin II & III and Sonic Temple by the Cult. I am also learning Edie on the guitar and can sort of play the intro bit.
