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.

Shadow Of The Colossus

This game is so goddamn beautiful. It's just amazing riding on your horse, Agro, through a vast plain and into some forest. Or swimming across a lake with some stormy sky overhead. And the colossi are just amazing. I have only defeated four so far but I love Phaedra, the fourth colossus that looks like a horse. I also loved the little field it was in. This game really pushes the Playstation 2's graphics to the limit. I could go on and on about this game. But I won't as you will get bored.

It was the last day of term today and the last day of the HORRID summer dresses that are sacks made from tea towel material. We watched the rest of Gattaca in chemistry today and it's just a weird film, and also slightly boring. But then again I'm really picky with what I like in films. I'm pedantic with everything.

I found an adorable rabbit photo:














It's just so cute! It looks like it's clapping. awww.

Syzygy is such a cool word. It's when all the planets in the solar system align. I don't know how to pronounce it but it looks cool.

Yesterday I burnt money...

In Chemistry yesterday we did an experiment : burning money without the money actually burning. Needless to say, our experiment went horribly wrong and I ended up with half a fiver. I got reimbursed but still. The note could be used as £2.50 :P. We dissected a heart in biology which was interesting, we got to poke our fingers through the big arteries and veins.

There is no Doctor Who this weekend so it is going to be rather strange and I cannot talk to people about it on Monday.

I have rediscovered my love for AOE:II. There's just something so good about creating a huge army then killing loads of people and destroying towns. ^^

Geographyfied

I have been doing Geography ALL day long. I ended up on google maps searching for my house, and my house has a slide in it now! Last time it didn't! But our school's cabin things are still there from when we had the fire and they got taken away years ago.

English orals tomorrow. Really not looking forward to. I am going to fail. But I have Doctor Who to look forward to! Penultimate episode! The Torchwood team is in it! Rose! Agh, it's making me way too hyper. But the trailer looked just great.

I can smell baked beans on toast, but no one is cooking baked beans on toast... Maybe it's some phantom toaster or something.

Oh yeah, I'm halfway through rereading the Hobbit. Wahey! :P

Exams are over!

All the exams are over! Yay! Physics today, and if I hadn't revised I wouldn't have got anything in that exam as our teacher is crap. I have a geography field trip on Monday -_-''

[sarcasm] ENGLISH ORALS ON WEDNESDAY YAY :) [/sarcasm]

Anyway today (after physics exam) I played on FFX, for about 5-6 hours. It's such a slow moving game that you have to play on it for that long to get anywhere. I played on it Wednesday night for one hour and didn't get ANYWHERE - I was trying to kill Seymour and died twice. Third time lucky, I defeated him today. My wrists kinda hurt as well (one day I'll get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -_-). I really want Dad to buy an Xbox 360 as he wants to get a Wii. The only people who are going to play on it are me and my sister, who also wants the 360, but he still wants to get a Wii as its more family friendly. He's not even going to play on it ffs! Sorry, I should vent my anger elsewhere.

Last few days of freedom before exams.

I say I haven't started my exams yet. Thats a lie. I'm halfway through my art exam (10 hours in all) and so far it is actually going quite well. At the start of the session today I went all panicky and thought 'I'm not going to finish this in 10 hours' but then by the end of the session my piece was almost done.

Half term was well... boring. We went down to our holiday home in Somerset and even though I brought my books down to revise I kept getting completely distracted by Final Fantasy III DS. Why are those games so bloody addicting? Damn, I love fantasy RPGS <3

I also need to catch up on Lost, I'm 3 episodes behind! I'm not much into Lost anymore, probably because I've had enough of it in the past year. I've watched 4 seasons which I think is enough.
