    2006

    2006 has probably been one of the most eventful years of my life. Looking back, it's been one of the worst years of my life. I'm going to review everything though.
     
    January started well with me being very healthy, eating no junk and working out! But as always, January sales came and shopping was a must and when you're shopping, you have to have Burgers and chips, so there the healthy me lasted about three days. I also remember in January seeing a dead person. There was a car crash and there was a dead guy. I will honestly never forget that! The end of the Christmas/New Year holidays was pretty fun, Jennifer and David and Hannah were round a lot and well yes that was just crazed childishness! Oh, Hannah if you read this - do you remember who "Smut" is?
     
    And who was in my biology class last year and remembers the pervert pointing out the four chambers of the heart by poking girls' boobs? Ah, then the major event of January, David asked me out again, and I accepted. And that was brilliant because I was really happy 'bout that. Ah, message for Zoë, remember sausage fingers? We were just talking about that the other day with Mr Q actually. Oh, and I remember falling out with my parents because they made me go to the cinema with them so that I couldn't see David. I cried! In the cinema!
     
    And my father went back into hospital to have his knee re-arranged again which meant he could gross me out with his slimy bloody knee. Ew. Ahhhh who remembers PE in 4th year? Playing with cocks huh? Yes yes we were very immature at that point. Hannah, remember our shopping trip in which we bought those shoes? (Vans and Babyshams) and we had orgasms in Schuh and people thought we were weird?
     
    Ah, and the picking of the highers. Zoë and I wanted to take 6 highers. Now that I am half way through 5th year I now know I would NEVER have survived six! Five is way too many! And I was having a complete nervous breakdown because I wanted to take Drama. I played in interhouse badminton and won all my games by default. None of the other teams showed up, so yes, I won!
     
    January was also the month of Nicole the Grinch, and the totally unrelated event of Robert's mother running him over. We got reports out and I found out I'd been recommended for eight 1's! I was also recommended for the NASA Space School thing, which I did the first couple of modules and then gave up as I have no knowledge of physics! We picked options for 5th year. Me picking five in the end.
     
    And onto February. I fell out with Nicole at the start of February although I cannot remember why! Hannah told me Jennifer was dead around that time too. (She actually just had a fit and got taken to hospital as a precaution.) And I made up with Nicole, of course! As a reward for getting a brilliant report, my parents allowed me to get a new computer, so I ordered one custom made with the highest specs available! Woop! Also I appear to be remembering "cum cake" at David's. Heh.
     
    I gave up MSN in February, wanna know how long I lasted? From the 8th to the 9th. Heh. Also, my boyfriend decided to tell me that he fancied my best friend. Well wasn't that nice of him? And also, he hadn't even told his Mum that we were dating again. So I felt suddenly unwanted. Parents night in Feb was amazing, every teacher basically called me perfect. So my computer was confirmed.
     
    Valentines day, was great, I spent the whole day with David, who bought me a teddy which was very cute. We ended up taking pics of each other the whole day. Heh. Probably the best v-day of my life. And then a few days later I got married to Zoë. (Know the Haribo rings???) Yes yes that was rather confusing for David. And nothing really else happened of much interest that month.
     
    March, we had snow. And there was the small incident of when the snow all melted leaving muddy wet yuck, and the "splat" incident where Nicole and I were orienteering and well, she went splat. I'm sure she's forgotten about that, but yes, there's a reminder! And Nicole picked herself up to do her amazing public speaking that won us the cup! There was all the hilarity about orienteering in PE. (Look, I actually DID PE this month!) Where we groped bushes and stuff to find torture devices.
     
    We had snow for most of March, and had a few snow days where I went sledging with Zoë for the first time in my life. Can you believe I was 15 when I first went sledging? It was SO fun! I also earned my grade 1 in talk in English, by doing a debate on keeping animals in captivity. It was fun! I really love arguing! And Zoë and I successfully seduced a bear by, ahem, dressing up and well, giving lapdances.
     
    People decided at this point that it would be fun to attempt to split David and I up. So yes, rumours were a flying and seeing as he was at rehearsals for Zombie Prom I never really got to spend time with him and well this small fact was EXPLOITED. And suddenly he was having an affair. Which I now know didn't happen. But yeah, we split up. And I realised that I shouldn't listen to other people. I also realised that I shouldn't have made the promise that I'd never date someone three times, because that meant I couldn't ever go out with him again.
     
    Oh, and the love of my life... My baby arrived on the 24th March. It was love at first sight... My computer. So David B and I spent hours playing with it... Ohhh it's love. I'm still in love with it.... Computers are far better than men.
     
    We found out about prizes, I was 1st in computing and 2nd in biology, chemistry, French, maths and history. ALL BY ONE MARK! TO ZOË! We went through everything though and found out that actually we had the exact same marks for biology and chemistry. Humph. Zoë and I had the maths sleepover where we studied maths. We are such geeks. I also studied a lot with David B, studying meaning cooking, cleaning, taking photos, dancing, basically anything that wasn't school-related!
     
    Oh yes, and we're into April. Fletcher asked me out, but I wasn't allowed to go out with him due to the "don't date best friends' exes" rule that I promised I'd keep. I spent the entire Easter holidays with David B, playing the Sims 2 and whatnot. Oh, and studied for exams. Yes yes we studied. Mmhm. *nods*
     
    On the last week of 4th year, BAGEERA was born. BAGEERA was a pink child born to Sammi and Nicole and had oversized testicles, a hairy stomach and DD boobs. BAGEERA was a strange child. He/she was also born twice, once by Sammi and once by Nicole. BAGEERA is now in my wardrobe. Then we went on study leave. And David lived at my house during study leave and we did, well not a lot of studying!
     
    Exams started at the beginning of May. Still attached to my study partner David, we braved the first exam - English. We both did okay though. But your first ever official exam is always going to be scary. Then was maths, which was hard. Then chemistry. Study leave was fun though, I somehow remember riding a 3 year old's tricycle from David's to mine. With Rachel. What the hell were we on?! And then attempting to make pancakes and ending up with... Well, fire. Good times good times.
     
    Then French. Then computing. Then the event that has changed my life. My phone getting broke. My Father went ballistic. My parents told me... Ack. I don't want to talk about this. Everyone knows about it anyway. I just want to forget it.
     
    History and biology and then freedom! We celebrated freedom by sitting at the bottom of the high street, on the grass, eating about £40 worth of sweets. And then the gas for the whole of Carluke and part of Lanark went off. And in Scotland in June, it's freezing. So we had that whole escapade. It did eventually get fixed though.
     
    The end of May was marked by my 16th birthday. I celebrated legalness by having a party with people, food, madness and a scary movie. It was an amazing party! Hmm who was there... David B, Rach, Robert, Fletcher, Jennifer, Nicole, Zoë, Helyn, Debbie and Hannah. We had a lot of fun! And then the next day, went a walk down to the burn where we had sex with trees.
     
    The time between end of exams and start of 5th year was well spent. I spent the entire time out with friends, going walks, bouncing on trampolines etc etc. I didn't realise it at the time, but I think I was actually truly happy. Back to school at the beginning of June was a drag. 5th year induction. Hand up who DIDN'T sleep through that whole thing? Mmhm. It was pointless. It was all stupid "teambuilding" tasks where you get put in a group of NEDs and told to cooperate.
     
    We found out our classes and teachers and timetables. I have the worst timetable, and the crappest teachers. I swear I almost cried when I realised who I had for maths. But my classes were pretty good, mostly with my friends. 5th year is rubbish. June 10th. First gig, All-American Rejects. I went with David and Fletcher but met Nic and we went in the mosh pit and I got felt up by a random man and got beer poured over my head. It was an immense night. And I touched Nick.
     
    June was the month I think when David and I "officially" fell out. Well we didn't really fall out as such, but our parents stopped us from talking to each other. And made some kind of agreement that I'm not allowed in David's life. And this was when life started it's downward spiral. I had to start going home for lunch rather than staying in school, and because I was never there, I lost a lot of my friends. There was a lot of horrible rumours that weren't exactly in my favour.
     
    I pretty much avoided all the "fun" days at the end of term, because they were a time for friends to hang out and have a laugh. So Mum took time off work and we went shopping and stuff. She bought me an IPOD also.  On a positive note, I met Dave around June also, and he's kind of become one of my best friends. So I thought I'd mention him here.
     
    And into the summer holidays and July. This summer was possibly the crappest summer of my entire life. My guinea pig, Truffle died. Having not a lot of friendship this summer, I got myself addicted to Lost. And spent summer downloading and watching it. I stayed at Zoë's a couple of times too. And I hung out with Jennifer and William and Josh a few times, before that got snatched from me also.
     
    I spent a lot of time with family during summer, and we went hiking. Yes hiking with a Father who can't walk and a brother in a wheelchair. This was hilariously fun! And, it was really sunny. There was like a whole week on sunshine and WARM temperatures! So we had barbeques and such like! I even got sunburnt while gardening!
     
    I also got my first job this summer, working at the hospital up in Medical Directorate. Filing, answering phones and typing stuff into the computer. It was a pretty boring job, but it was a good laugh, great pay and something to do with myself. Also, it earned me some money for Florida.
     
    Ah yes, August was the month of excitement. Starting with getting my camera and exam results on the same day. Amazing camera, even more amazing exam results. Eight 1's. And then Florida! All in the same two days! What excitement. I could write pages about Florida, but I won't, I've been there and done that! Florida was awesome.
     
    Back to school hit like a sharp dagger to the eye. Five highers gives a lot of homework, and with no homework partner, it's hard, very hard. Personal development seems to be the most stupid part of 5th year. Nicole and I took Games Development, which consisted of us listening to the most boring teacher talk, for two hours. Or, play Tetris for two hours.
     
    I got moved biology classes, which was to my advantage because I have a fantastic teacher and don't have to deal with being in David's class which I know caused awkwardness for both of us. And we voted for Prefects, which is just a popularity contest so clearly I wasn't anywhere near becoming one. I became a buddy to a little 1st year who I now nickname PSYCHO KID! Because she wants to kill anyone I talk to. Honestly. 5th year IS CRAP!
     
    Aha, we appear to be in September. Which commenced with a tiny mouse. In our house. So there was the whole thing where my Father chased it round the house brandishing kitchen scales. This was funny. And then Hannah decided she wanted to go out with David (my ex) and fell out with me because I reminded her of the ex-boyfriend rule. This hurt. But of course we worked it out. And then we had the awful school photo. Which I somehow ended up having with Nicole, Rob and Hannah, and a duck.
     
    There was the drama of my phone going in for repair, and a guy stealing the replacement phone that the Carphone Warehouse gave me. And making abusive phonecalls to my whole phonebook. Thankyou mate. I had little enough friends before that. Then I got myself in another hole when I got pissed at someone, and this got exploited and somehow people that I never used to talk to at school started hating me with a passion. Apparently directly insulting someone, by name, and to their face, is fine. But making a generalised statement of opinion aimed towards noone in particular is not okay. Two things that kept me from giving up on life - my laptop and a holiday to Kipford with my family. Both of which made me very happy. And the holiday was an opportunity to relax and to have a nice play with my laptop and my camera. And spend time with my family.
     
    I went to see McFly with Hannah in October, and then of course our second Florida holiday. Which was totally unplanned and CRAZY! We went to see a few bands and we met them. The Plain White T's, Hawthorne Heights, Relient K and Emery. That was pretty damn amazing meeting my favourite band. I again shall refrain from ranting about Florida again.
     
    Back to school again hit like a sharp dagger in both eyes. I had 5 Nabs on my first day back. This was utter hell. I was forced to stay off school for a few days to prepare myself for these Nabs, which I was assured wouldn't be sprung on me like that. So going full flow into NAB season, was HELLISH. I swear to God it was bad.
     
    I met Joe around October time, which I shall be eternally grateful for, because he is now one of my best friends and also my boyfriend and perhaps even my kinky slave. He's saved me from giving up a few times. I could write pages about this boy, but as this is supposed to be about 2006 and not my relationships, I sharn't.
     
    I went to see Lordi with David, Josh and William which was fun! Although I didn't know much of their songs! And onto November. I decided to leave school and so I went to get forms and stuff. I'm not leaving school for any other reason than I feel so unhappy while in school. I found out that I passed most of the Nabs and that my predicted final grades are AAAAC. The C being for English.
     
    I got myself addicted to three new things, Ebay, forums and television. None of which are beneficial to my studies. But they are all good. Ebay especially as I have made quite a bit of cash from that little addiction. I don't even know what else happened, not a lot really. I won money in the lottery. :)
     
    Almost there, December. I got 8mb broadband. I went to see the careers advisor who told me to be an accountant. I also went to see Dragonforce and ended up backstage with the lead singer from All That Remains who were supporting d-Force. It was one of the most amazing nights of my life.
     
    David decided he wanted to be friends with me. I was honestly so happy. But, then he changed his mind. And life crashed again. I basically stopped sleeping due to the stress of all this crap and yeah. Life is shite. I was told to hurry up and kill myself. I thought about it. Nicole and I got caught skiving, but totally got away with it. Which was probably the coolest thing this month!
     
    Christmas, well Christmas was pretty good. Spent it with my family. It's now the 31st and I haven't seen anyone from school since before Christmas. I guess I don't need them.
     
    So as a final thing. This year has probably been the worst year of my life. I have never hurt so much or doubted the point of life so much. I want to say thankyou to a few people who have helped me the most this year...
     
    Mark - I love you to death, you have been there for me for years and your support is still a major hand to hold onto when I need someone. You've made me realise that although I may not be of much worth where I am just now, but I may become something much more later on in life and for this, I should put up with now. Thankyou.
     
    Dave - I love you to death also, because you make me smile and you are always there to rant to. You have the answers to my questions and you have this amazing faith in me which keeps me going when life tries to pull me down. I am so glad I have met you this year. Thankyou.
     
    Joe - I love you to death as well, because I've not even known you for that long, yet you have this huge impact on my life. You've made me realise that it's not me who's living life the wrong way, and everything isn't in fact, my own fault. You've made me feel special and worth something. Thankyou.
     
    Nicole - You're one of the only people I can truly talk to around here, I love it how you will listen to what I have to say rather than listening to rumours. You can make me giggle when I am feeling down for which I am truly thankful. I love how we have our plans and plots. It makes me feel as if I am wanted in this world. Thankyou.
     
    There's other people I'd like to mention, but these four are the people who have kept me from doing something I could never undo. I hated most of 2006. PLEASE let 2007 be better. I need it to be better.

    Sales

    Today was great fun! Dad and Ben were away to the Motherwell Celtic game, so Mum and I went into town to hit the sales! First off, I have red curtains and a red throw and pillows for my bed, so now I can be all red without having to paint!
     
    I also got some nice black boots that were reduced from £110 to like £40! And a jumper, and a coat, and of course the compulsory underwear...
     
    Oh oh and the excitement. We were in Primark and were just about to join like a 45 minute queue when the fire alarm went off, and we got all evacuated! And they took my basket off me, which I had been putting stuff in for like ages! So we stood outside in protest, eyed up the firemen and policemen and security men. (We like men in uniform.) And then when we went back in, we practically ran round the shop grabbing everything we had already tried on, and there was no queue!
     
    Ah, and then we went to Office for shoes, and found these boots that were reduced from £110 to £70 to £40. So of course we had to have them. Then we went to Lush, and spent rather a lot. But they had this offer on, if you spent £15 or more, you got to pick ANY gift for FREE! So we picked the most expensive thing, like an £18 gift set! How good was that?
     
    Then we were hungry, so we went to TGI Friday's for lunch which was rather good. And a NYM offered to carry our bags to our table, and we were going to claim him for the rest of the day! After lunch we went underwear shopping, and then we went and bought tiebacks for my curtains. Then we headed home and got chinese takeaway on the way. Yumm...
     
    This is just a random thought that I was telling Mum today and she thinks I should write it here to give viewers a laugh, and well, an insight to my extreme twit-ness! I have a bed with a metal frame, and well I woke up the other night and totally panicked, I was tied to the bed! Someone had clearly come in and tied me to the bed and was about to kill me or something! Then, I realised... I was holding onto the metal frame... I wasn't tied to anything. XD I am an arse sometimes!
     
    Fall in love or fall in hate.
    Get inspired or be depressed.
    Ace a test or flunk a class.
    Make babies or make art.
    Speak the truth or lie and cheat.
    Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
    Life is devine chaos. Embrace it.
    Forgive yourself. Breathe.
    And enjoy the ride...
     
    I'm off to do up my room now. I may post pictures later. :)

    Irritating Child

    I'm going to rant today about the high annoyance factor held by my father. I was woken up by him stomping about the place and cursing at everything, and then just as I was having a quiet while to myself, he appears in the doorway waving a bin and singing "bins, bins." I really do wonder about the sanity of this man. I mean middle-aged men should NOT be seen skipping about singing about washing and rubbish. It's just not right.
     
    And then we come to the sad fact of Deal or No Deal. Father has the DVD game, and as all sensible people realise, this is not the real thing and you do not win real money. However Daddy fails to acknowledge this small fact and now appears to be wondering why millions of pounds isn't cascading out from the DVD player. He also insists he asks both me and Mum which box to pick, so that he can blame us when he doesn't win the £250,000. He honestly is like a small child.
     
    So what have I done today, well I have done a little work, ate a little chocolate, got a little addicted to chatting and that's about it. I'm a lazy so and so, and really haven't done much constructive the whole day. Mother is all excited because she thinks she's buying a mattress from Ebay. Who buys mattresses from Ebay?
    12/27/2006

    Mmm chocolate

    Hmm, okay so yesterday I didn't do much, I actually did some work, got addicted to a website and then that was that. I have soooo much chocolate! My parents gave me 1kg of chocolate and I also have 400g from my uncle. I'm gonna be sick of the sight of the stuff! I sharn't complain.
     
    So today, Mummy is at work so Daddy is home. So I'm just going to hide in my room and eat chocolate because sure as fate, he'll want to manic tidy or something! I think I might do some work...
    12/25/2006

    Christmas

    Yesterday was pretty good. I was hyper and well we got everything ready for today which was fun. We didn't really do much else, and I was hyper due to my father feeding me alcohol which resulted in me giggling at everything.
     
    I was halted from writing a proper blog by my mother saying that if I wasn't sleeping by midnight, Santa wouldn't come. So I went to bed at half 11. Sans blog. Sorry! But! I got to eat Santa's cake this year! YUSS!
     
    This morning, I was woken up by one hyper little brother at some horrendus time in the morning. So we went through and low and behold the old perv had been. I sharn't go through everything. But I am going for my first driving lesson on the 6th, I am sooo excited! But nervous also!
     
    I also got other stuff like money and a new keyboard (thank God) and stuffs like that. My grandparents were over for Christmas dinner. But before that, Dad and I watched a scary movie. In Florida at the horror night at Universal there was a house called "The People Under The Stairs", based on the film. So i was bought the film for Christmas. It's horrible. There is a guy EATING another guy. it's truely nasty. Not THAT scary, just gory!
     
    So we had Christmas dinner which was great! And I actually ate three courses. (I don't usually do that.) And it was delicious! My mother makes the best Xmas dinners. And then I felt utterly ill due to eating so much and drinking so much. So I fell asleep on the sofa. And woke up a while later feeling pretty shit. i'm onto the wine this evening, slightly more classy than Bacardi.
     
    Anyway, I am now very bored, ill and dunno what to do with myself. Meh. Merry Christmas.

    W00P

    Okay, today was a sucessful day. I have gotten all the presents I meant to get. I got up this morning in a complete panic because I was supposed to be going to Glasgow, but the person I was supposed to be going with appears to have completely ditched me. (This is not funny.) And Mum wouldn't let me go by myself on the busiest day of the year. So I was pretty much fucked. I hadn't got anything for my family and Christmas was doomed to be ruined.
     
    But my father, yes, my FATHER saved the day. He took me up to Lanark where I got the things I needed to get. Thankyou Daddy! So yes, I can't say what I've got due to the prying eyes of mother dear. But she will love it. I also got my brother the big K-Nex set that he was after. So I have completed my Christmas shopping.
     
    Rest of the day, well I made shortbread, which surprisingly turned out okay. And we iced the Christmas cake and got icing sugar EVERYWHERE. Oh and Mum made rock cakes which are also delish. Oh, funny thing, I made shortbread in the shape of holly, you know like a leaf and berries. Well, when it cooked it kind of melted a bit and when it came out it resembled a swollen penis with two shrunken testicles. So what did I do? Fed it to Dad. XD
     
    I have also been wrapping presents, and watching TV. Omg who saw Casualty tonight? O.m.g. That was a damn good episode! And then I sat and watched recordings, I am becoming a TV addict, I really am. It's bad news I know.  I'm now going to do something rather more constructive, and I am staying up so I can talk to Joe, who has been speeding through Europe in a BMW for the last few days, and well, I've missed him a lot and we need to catch up.
     
    So I shall say goodnight, although I may not go to bed for sometime.
     
     

    Utterly Pointless

    I have came to the conclusion that it is utterly pointless gonig to school on the last day. Started off with going to chemistry to hand in my PPA, and getting pulled up for never being in on Friday mornings. (This is because I hate chemistry and find double on a Friday morning absolutley intolerable.) But I did get out of chemistry and went down to the cafe. There was a group of us that sat there for a bit and then Nicole and Jamie kind of wanted to be left alone, so I had nowhere to go but back to chemsitry.
     
    And in chemsitry they are now sitting half way through Casino Royale. Which is shite, I don't get the whole storyline. So after about an hour Nicole came and rescued me and we went back down to the cafe. But obviously I couldn't stay there, so at break I decided I was going home, but then discovered my jacket with house keys was in my regi class which was now locked. So I went back up to the cafe and met Zoe, who persuaded me to stay for maths.
     
    So during maths, we went to see our SG French teacher, Mrs A, who was annoyed that we both wern't taking higher French. Sorry Miss, we hate it! She was busy so we went to see Mr Q and sat in his classroom bugging him for the rest of that period. Oh, and Zoe (who doesn't take higgher computing) sat our NAB and got 9/20 which I think proves how easy the theory part of computing is!!! We kind of sat there for 4th period also, and then Nicole and Jamie came in and Mr Q told Nicole I hated her.
     
    I didn't hate her, I was just annoyed that she promised she wouldn't spend the whole day wih Jamie, and then she basically ignored me the whole day. Which I now realise was a selfish thing to say. That is all I said. So Mr Q totally stirred it. Bastard.
     
    I finally got to go home at lunch, seeing as I kind of had to to be home for Ben. I got home, cleaned my room and most of the house and then Ben came in and we had a laugh dancing to Christmas music! Ha! We are such twats. Mum comes in and she's like WTF! I have been watching TV since I came in really. It's becoming a bad habit, but I guess having no homework, I'm allowed!
     
    Ooh, and my other sad news is that I got a new computer chair! Woo! It's like all big and leather and black and I now feel like I'm typing a very important contract or something when I am actually having a rant on the blog. :]
     
    Anyway, sorry for not having this typed last night, I was not feeling well and went to bed.
    12/21/2006

    Outraged.

    Okay, starting the day with being late and crapping ourselves about going to see Mr K about our skiving of Wednesday afternoons. So we went to his office, and I cleverly mentioned UCAS first in the hope of distracting him. This worked for a while. He blabbered on about UCAS and I tried to explain to him that UCAS wasn't letting me click the "Submit" button because I apparently needed to fill in a referance. And I can't do this because I haven't got my referance yet. (It's to come from school.) So I explained this and he wouldn't believe me. I left him all my printouts and he said he'd get back to me.
     
    Then he remembers about the skiving and questions us. Turns out we're still on the register for Self Defence which we only attended for a week before moving to woodwork for a few weeks and then finally resorting to skiving. So we explained that we should have been moved to the woodwork register as we went to speak to Mr F about it. Mr K wasn't for believing this, so he takes us to Mr F's office and he confirms that we did in fact approach him about it. So Mr K looks stupid at this point.
     
    But Mr K's still ready for giving us a big row, when he's called away. So Mr F says he'll deal with it. And he was really understanding, we admitted it was wrong of us to just not turn up and explained that we felt that personal development wasn't benificial to us as we were spending our time better by going home and studying maths. He totally understood this but told us that he can't let us go on skiving. He understands that there's no option to choose where you would just be allowed a private study afternoon so we are going to have to return to either woodwork or self defence.
     
    We have chosen to go back to self defence. Because thinking about it, in woodwork, they're going to have most of a table made and we're going to be left behind, but we have no intentions of being treated like we were whilst in self defence. So we're at a bit of a loss as to what to do. We're thinking of going to SD and just sitting out and refusing to join in. Is this wise?
     
    Anyway. After seeing to all that it was already half way through 1st period. So Nicole and I went up to Mr Q's classrom (aka Mr Penis) and sat on the comuters, attempting to hack our way to Myspace.com. Quite fun. The next period we went to talk to our regi teacher and discovered she had a class in, so we were watching a DVD with third years for a bit and then got sent messaging round the school, picking up Zoe on the way.
     
    After break I was going up to collect Zoe from her chemistry class when I bump into my chemistry teacher, demanding an explanation for my absence from chemistry. I said I was doing some delivering for Miss H and he believed me fine, then who do I bump into but my biology teacher, so while she's walking one way, I nip down the stairs and nicely get away from having to attend biology. We ended up back with Mr Q.
     
    Then it was extended lunch. Woo 1 hour 45 mniutes while the teachers all have Christmas dinner. So I went home and was bored. But I decided I'd go back for double maths to give Rob his present. I walk half way to school and realise i've forgotten the bloody present, so I go back home and collect it and arrive in maths late, fully expecting a row. Nothing came of it, Miss L is all happy and shit 'cause it's Christmas. I thought I was pushing my luck when I asked to go see Me K but she let me.
     
    So I go see him and he demands I go up to a computer room and look at the application for UCAS again. So back up to Mr Q and print off some stuff and I head back to maths for a bit and then go back to Mr K at 3.30. He tells me that my application is fucked up because he's deleted me from his system. That was nice of him. So he calls UCAS to see what needs to be done and he totally blames me while on the phone. "This kid hasn't been able to follow simple step-by-step instructions and their application is messed up" Fuck off.
     
    It did eventually get sorted out in the end and that's me sent it away now, just needs the referee and then it'll be off to the universities. Oh this is so exciting!
     
    I got home and Mum tells us that we're going to Motherwell FC to meet the players as a surprise for Ben. So it was freezing and we met all the players that are on the 2007 calendar. We got a calendar signed and I got a book signed and we got pics with the players too. It was pretty fun. Then we went to McDonald's to be unhealthy. That was also good.
     
    I have a serious cold, I have lost my voice, my throat and lungs are killing me and my head feels like it's going to explode. This is not good. I bet I will be ill on Christmas day and I will spend the festive period in bed with hot water bottles and hot orange juice. Bah humbug!
    12/20/2006

    Oh we are in...

    ... Shit.
     
    Okay so today started off pretty well, I gave people presents and maths wasn't all that bad as Ms was in a good mood and was laughing in that crazy constipated llama way that she does. And then computing, well I have totally finished my program now, and I'm the only person in the year who has finished it. I'm also the onlu person who got full marks in the NAB. Am a G33K.
     
    Then there was the interhouse quiz, that I wasn't really looking forward to as our team consisted of me and three guys. We were however winning until the last round when we were topped by Milton. Hmph. By two points I think? Well done Milton. Anyway, it was rather a waste of time and english and chemistry, which I'm chuffed about.
     
    And as it's Wednesday I headed home for my weekly "crap I better catch up on maths homework" afternoon. So I didn't catch up on maths homework, I instead attempted to pick university courses. Didn't get very far to be honest. And here comes the big thing for today... Mr K phoned my house from school.
     
    And I stupidly answered. Yes I'm skipping school, so I answer the bloody phone, thus proving I am skipping school. I'm a dick sometimes. Anyway he's in a major mood with my partner in crime and I for skipping school on Wednesday afternoons. We've to go see him tomorrow.
     
    We have an arguement ready. Let me pose to you the question - What is more beneficial to my education, studying higher maths, or making a table? Obviously not making a table. So I feel it beneficial to me to skip the last two periods of Wednesday to have a couple of hours when noone else is in the house, to study. It's valuable. So when Mr K pulls me up, I shall explain this to him. Yes he's going to threaten me with calling the parents, but he can do that. My parents completely agree that making a table is a complete and utter waste of two hours.
     
    He also decided to tell me that I need my uni application in for tomorrow. So I have been doing that all evening, I have picked 6 courses in total, from Glasgow, Glasgow Calidonian and Strathclyde universities. All biology/chemistry courses. I'm not sure if I'll actually take any places I am offered though. Writing a personal statement is difficult, it's like selling yourself which I'm really not good at doing.
     
    Now my head hurts. (Well it was hurting already), but now it's worse. I'm absolutley nackered and I have a sore throat and a cold. Yum, how is it that I end up ill just before Christmas? I feel like shit.
    12/19/2006

    No

    Today was also shit. It doesn't feel even remotely like Christmas. Computing, well I spent a period making my program look pretty. He now tells me I have to do documentation which I could have had finished had he told me about it. Urgh. Chemistry Mr J decided to start a new topic, so he rambled on for the whole period which was very boring indeed.
     
    Maths, I was slightly hyper (on Lucozade) and Cole and I took weird pics and commented on the teacher's arse. PSE we went to see the Christmas service. Christmas is about love, forgiveness and trust. It's a time for you to forgive people and be happy and some other Jesus stuff. I hate Christmas.
     
    "God has come out of his trench"
     
    Then I headed home at lunch due to really not being arsed to go to double English. So I made pasta, ate that, cleaned the kitchen then did maths homework.
     
    "Just hurry up and kill yourself"
     
    How about no? How about I don't give you the satisfaction of that? I can be quite competative in certain situations, like when it comes to who wins my life. I win. Nothing gives you the right to take away my life. It's mine, okay? I'm trying to fix it, it's not working, that doesn't mean you can just take it away from me. You can't tell someone to kill themselves. Just shut up. Shut up.
     
    I'm determined to get some fucking sleep tonight. I'm totally nackered. Stress effing sucks.
    12/18/2006

    Where are you Christmas?

    Today was, in one word, shit.
     
    It was supposed to be good, it was supposed to make me happy but it's not. It's picked me up from Friday night and put me back to worse than I was Thursday night. This is my life. I hate it and there's nothing I can do to change it. I had this stupid fairytale idea in my head that everything would be okay. How can I be so fucking stupid. It's probably never going to be okay ever again.
     
    Computing, well I have completed my program but Penis doesn't like it. Therefore I had to restructure it. Despite the fact it worked perfectly well beforehand. Meh. He was in a shite mood this morning. Probably due to the football results from Sunday. Or perhaps the result of a prolonged hangover. I don't know.
     
    Biology, well it was boring. I wanted to cry but I didn't. My biology teacher gave out chocolates because it's Christmas. I love my teacher, she's so sweet and nice and she's an ace teacher also. Probably my favourite and best teacher this year.
     
    English was, however, somewhat exciting. We got the Textual Analysis marks back. This was the paper I needed to have a pass in to be allowed to stay in Higher English. I passed. 17.5/30. I would love to be happy about this but I'm in the kind of frame of mind where I really can't force myself to be happy. I guess it's been like that for a long while. Someone teach me how to be happy?
     
    Maths, well I just hate maths. The bush was somewhat controlled today avec straighteners. Hmm, she looks better like that.
     
    Yes, I found out today that I'm apparently totally hated. And being told this by someone I thought was a friend made it all the worse. It's not a nice feeling and I can't stop thinking about it. I mean, all these people who were acting as friends, wern't really?
     
    I'm miles from where you are,
    I lay down on the cold ground
    And I, I pray that something picks me up
    And sets me down in your warm arms

    Wrong.

    I take back what I said on Friday. He doesn't want to be friends with me. It breaks my heart but I can't blame anyone for it I guess. I've said I'm sorry and told him I'd love to be talking to him again, so it was all up to him.
     
    I also found out today that all the time I was friends with him, everyone else apart from him apparently hated me. So I'm guessing this means that when we fell out, absolultley everyone hated me? Ah, life just crashed again.
    12/17/2006

    Town.

    My Dad and brother were away to the Motherwell game today, so Mum and I took the opportunity to go into town to do Christmas shopping. So me, for once, was up and out before midday. It was so busy in town. It's like completely mobbed with people. I stood for hours in the queue for the Disney store. Oh, and they had that little German market thing where we got burgers which were apparently Aberdeen Angus which is (and I quote) "Well hung."
     
    After that we did some more shopping. I've got Dad something. I really struggle to buy for my parents. My Dad, well he's just a generally boring person who counts money and watches TV. It was really busy coming back also, but we just shoved everyone out the way to get a seat on the train. Heh.
     
    Oh, and then we were cheeky, I texted Dad saying "Taxi please" and low and behold, he arrives to give us a lift up the hill! Lol! That man is well trained I tell ya.
    12/15/2006

    OMG.

    I am the happiest girl in the world right now. Honestly. David and I just made friends again. If I smiled anymore my face would explode. The rest of the day really is irrelevent.
     
    Thankyou Rob.
     
    And thankyou David.
     
    I was late in today for the simple fact I couldn't be arsed moving. Oh, and the fact I had maths homework that I had to do this morning. So I kind of nicely avoided double chemistry.
     
    Maths, well it was pretty shite. I'm back to my drowning state. I don't understand any of it. Computing, well we had the NAB. Which was super pish easy and I passed with 20/20. Oh yes. But I hate the fact Mr Penis sits me at the front and looks at me. It makes me nervous. Then we got to spend the rest of the period doing nothing on computers. Which isn't really much of a reward considering I have a computer at home that's 10x faster than the school ones.
     
    English, is my next news. We got the critical poetry essays back... AND I PASSED! Fuck yes. 16/25! I was so chuffed with myself I could have hugged the teacher, but I refrained, she's Mrs S's bitch, I better not touchy. Biology, well we didn't do an awful lot of work in there, it being Friday and all that.
     
    Tonight I have done nothing. I watched the Lion King, have drank hot chocolate and am now listening to Classical Music. Apparently this is going to destress me.

    Speed

    ... In the form of Lucozade.
     
    Today was quite good. I actually made it to school. I frequently "sleep in" on Thursdays due to the dismal start to the day, consisting of English and Chemistry. But I went. English was as always, boring. Although the Dept head is picking people to get moved to Int2. And seeing as I've failed almost everything I've sat there, I think that might be me, which I honestly wont complain about. It's better if I'm in a class I have a chance of passing.
     
    Chemisry, well we listened to Mr J's utter shite as usual. And then biology we were getting all engrossed in fish when the fire bell goes. So we go out in the pishing rain. And the teachers are all slipping down the mud in heels and oh, it was just all such a farce. Seriosly what was the point in that? Plus we only managed to miss maybe 6 minutes of class.
     
    Went home for lunch and seeing as Dad was off, he was home and I was subjected to a full 25 minute long rant from him about TalkTalk mobile. Hmm... Then maths, I made the mistake of sharing a bottle of Lucozade with Nicole, so then we were hyper, sine graphs grew nipples and a penis was growing out of the teacher's head. Hallucinating? No....
     
    After school I was going to do maths, but meh, decided not to. I might go in late tomorrow so I can do the homework in the morning. I will go to school, I will just maybe be late. Hmm...
     
    It's bedtime. Goodnight.
     
    12/13/2006

    Skiving.

    I had about an hour's sleep last night, not bad for me. I got to sleep just after Dad went to work and woke up at 7. That gives me an hour's sleep at most.
     
    Maths first, finished everything and therefore had no homework. I love it when that happens, I really do! And then computing, we had an open-book NAB, which I scored 17/20 in. It was multiple choice, which I despise, because I usually do know the answer but the fact there's three other 'possible' answers makes me confused and I end up considering these other answers and putting down the wrong thing. Plus there's the element of 'oh God, I haven't put any A's down, the next answer must be A.' I hate it, I really do.
     
    English, we didn't get the textual analysis results as promised, which annoyed me. Apparently everyone has to have sat it for us to be allowed results. So we did more poetry crap. Which I find immensly boring and monotonous. Then chemistry, Mr Jamil tried to argue with the facts of biology. Apparently in chemistry, protein is an entirely different substance from what it is in biology. And the same question can be asked in both biology and chemistry and have two completely different answers. And if you get them confused, you get it wrong. Hmph.
     
    I went home at lunch in hailstones and was freezing. I was just starting some homework when my fellow skivers came over and we didn't really do much, just sat and laughed at other's misfortunes. Heh.
     
    I have completed all the homework for tomorrow, but I thinks I need to revise computing as I don't pay attention. Ha.

    Emails are back!

    Yesss! My emails are back! Aplogies for that, the server was fucked up or something. So yeah, last two day's blogs have been sitting in my outbox since this morning. Sorry!

    I miss my emails

    I slept none last night. I was so tired this morning. Computing was such a drag because I was well, sleeping. I will finish the program over the weekend. I promise. Then Chemistry, well Mr J apparently now can't do chromatography. Which is the simplest experiment known to man. I mean what's hard about sticking a bit of paper in a beaker?
     
    Maths was shite as well. Even though it was skive class. And PSE, well that's always shite isn't it? Main thing, English NAB on poetry. I think I did very badly. And hopefully we will get the TA results back tomorrow and I will determine whether I can stay in Higher or not.
     
    I have so much work to do tonight. And then Miss C decides my uni stuff has to be in by tomorrow or I have to stay at school! WHAT! AHH! I don't have time for all this, I haven't slept. My head hurts. Fuck it. I'm going to sleep.

    Time?

    Yes, I'm going to have a go at time.microsoft.com. I got up this morning LATE because my computer's clock decided it would be fun to change the time completely. So I'm thinking "oh, it's only half seven", when in actual fact, it's quater to nine. Hmph! I wasn't too late though, got to school at like just after nine. Not bad.
     
    I was in double computing this morning and spent most of it telling people about Saturday night. Yes I'm still hyper about that and will probably never get over it ever. Then for some reason, the place was empty this morning. I think because it's nearing the end of term, everyone's having a wee skive. I don't blame them. Double biology was alright I guess, got to tell more people about my escapades, who didn't believe me at first!
     
    Then my complaint at lunch was the severe coldness of hailstones. I mean seriously, someone somewhere hates me. It was snowing today also. Very pretty but very cold. So I went home, has soup, got soaked and went back up to the school now frozen.
     
    English was pish as usual, I decided to read my "How to pass Higher English" book which I can't concentrate on. I have a NAB tomorrow that I can't be bothered doing. It's too hard. I'm failing anyway. And then maths, I didn't do much work, therefore making me have a shitload of homework to do for Wednesday. Oh what bloody fun.
     
    "My lungs... " *does reeling-in-lungs-action*
     
    So yes came home and hid under the duvet for the duration of this evening. I'm so cold. Honestly. Freezing. My stomach hurts.
    12/10/2006

    Christmas Shopping

    Don't you just hate Christmas shopping? The parents woke me up at 9am to take me Christmas shopping. So I thought it would be fun. Haven't been into the city for a while. But noooo.... Where do they decide to go? Effing Hamilton! What the freak is in Hamilton worth buying? Evidently not a lot. We got Mum a few little things and that was about it! It was raining and freezing and really unpleasant weather to be out in! Why oh why?
     
    Then after that we went to the pet shop, then McDonald's, where I had a happy meal which didn't make me very happy. Then we went into ASDA and I ended up sitting in the car. In the rain and cold. Listening to effing football on the radio.
     
    And my ribs hurt like hell. Because of the gig last night. I have definetly bruised something, it hurts to cough, sneeze or breathe in too much. And my stomach is bruised where I got kicked also. Oh what a great night.
     
    Anyway, that is all that has happened today. So I bid thee goodnight.
