2007-10-13T15:31:00.000Z

Yeah

I know this is bad.

But I guess I've kind of given up on this.

I haven't been concentrating on ANYTHING recently, except for possibly the one thing I shouldn't be concentrating on.

I guess I'm not really mature enough at the moment to take on a project like this. It is one of the things I do really want to do at some point in my life, but with all the exams and coursework and personal shit I've got going on, I don't think I can handle it right now.

I'll see you sometime in the future, folks.

until then

talk to me?

and I was like "I was waiting for you for THIRTY FIVE minutes and you were in a shop one minute away from where you knew I was. No it was not an over-reaction."

#105 - sand throne and car crash

2007-09-09T16:53:00.000Z

1. sand throne.

myself and becky dug a moat, then used the sand from that moat to create a huuuuuuuuuuge chair. you can see it on becky's awesome video of our cornwall holiday - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aH9m6xvKEPo

2. car crash.
a posh old lady crashed into us at the train station. not the best thing that could happen on holiday, but happen it did. car's still not fixed, actually. me and becky were sat in the back as well, right where it hit.. we spent the whole time while the parents and the posh old lady were talking reading the chinese takeaway menu anyway though.. all was well.. ish.

#104 - catch a train without parents

2007-09-08T23:21:00.000Z

myself and becky went to Looe, on the Looe valley line. this wouldn't be too exciting if it weren't for the fact that I have never caught a train without my parents before. actually, it's still not that exciting, to be fair. But Looe is quite a nice place, and it had an old fashioned sweetshop so I'm happy.

sorry my updates are slow recently. I'm lazy and I'm sorry. Oh, and these new updates may be absolute drivel - it's gone midnight and I'm a bit tired.

#103 - myspace pose by a stream.. and the great pushchair.. thing.

2007-09-01T18:17:00.001Z

a) myspace pose by a stream. Basically, we went for a walk in the woods, and there was a stream, and becky had her camera.. so we myspace posed by the stream. "no-one's ever done that before."
becky has the photos - I'll put them up later.

b) the great pushchair.. thing. As we walked out of the woods, we noticed two pushchairs side by side on the floor. we had seen some people with two toddlers walking in the woods earlier, so we assumed that they belonged to them. For the hell of it, we picked one of them up, ran to the other side of the path (all of 3 metres away), and put it down again. I would have liked to see the looks of confusion on their faces, "who did that?" "why did they do that?", and so on, but instead we chose to run giggling down the hill, whilst becky attempted to convince me that our school had sold our fingerprints to the government and the people would be so curious that they'd dust for fingerprints on the pushchair and track us down. I know I'm pretty gullible, but I'm really not THAT gullible..

#102 - go to cornwall.

2007-09-01T18:04:00.000Z

5 hours in a car... with two dogs, lots of luggage and my parents.

I think that this day was best summed up by this text message:

"haha inorite.. dog is now on passenger seat. pretty much entirely sure this is illegal :D xx"

seriously, it took him twenty minutes to get from the boot, past the dog-guard, past me and becky (who had him on her lap for 16 MIIIIIIILES, as she says quite often nowadays, I think she's traumatised) onto dad's lap on the passenger seat, where he stayed for the remainder of the journey. we got lost several times and by the time we got to the holiday cottage (30 rosecraddoc lodge, liskeard), everyone was pretty damn grumpy. but me and becky still went for a lovely walk, where we discovered

"the phoneboxes are BLUE in cornwall"

which, by the way, they're not. it was only that one, and as we discovered, although it said "telephone" on it, it in fact did not contain a telephone, just many large spiders.

I actually really rather like cornwall. it's awesome. especially the ice cream..

#100 - Dinner party in a field.

2007-08-24T11:06:00.000Z

At 6 o'clock.. we met in the field. Admittedly, I was a little late, as were hazel, laura and catherine. But that's not my fault - Catherine's shoes set off the alarms in somerfield, where we were buying our roast chickens.
The guest list

Me. Quite obviously, the most important one there.
Hazel Guppy/Gemmima. She is awesome.
Catherine Barkley/Luke Geneva. She is also awesome.
Laura Simpson/Saura Limpson/Jenack Jram. She amuses me.
Beckyyy. She can't carve chickens. It's fine.
Ollie/Cheryl. He can carve chickens. He just didn't tell us that till the end.
Louise. She can carve chickens slightly better than Becky can.
Shanz. He ran away for about 20 minutes, but he came back so it's fine.

The food

Two somerfield roast chickens. They were half price, so it's fine.
6 deli wraps.
One french stick
Mayonnaise. I don't know why.
Radish. Yay Radish.
Tomatoes.
Doritos - Lightly salted and Tangy cheese.
Mr. Kipling angel slices.

We managed to steal some cutlery from marks and spencers - I say steal, it was supposed to be free, only it was supposed to be free when you're actually buying something, not just to random people from the street. They didn't say that though, so it's fine. I had an interesting assortment of chairs - four wooden ones from my patio ("It's a retard chair! it's andrew, in wood form!"), one fold-up cow chair from my room, one old wood and metal fold up chair (that kept falling over, I should know, I sat on it), and a backpack stool (it's a backpack AND a stool. Wow.) - If you count that, then count the guest list, you will realise that we had 7 chairs, and 8 people. we also had 7 plates, cups, forks.. But it was fine, 'cause laura sat on the floor and, let's face it, wraps make good plates anyways. Becky was sat at the head of the (fold up, briefcase-like) table, so insisted that she must carve the chicken:

and obviously, she did so very well:

The mayonnaise was mistaken for dips for the doritos, but I managed to explain that it was mayonnaise before anyone decided to test the "dips" theory.
Oh, and cheryl's wrap fell on the floor.. but that just made me laugh.

#97 - Fritters on.. monday - Frijj

2007-08-21T11:27:00.000Z

I am a yazoo person, you can blame cheryl for that. So today, I thought I would try frijj. Cheryl's description of it was: "it's retard yeast. it tastes like someone ate a load of yeast, then spat it into a bottle and blended it with some strawberries."
After that description, I was not particularly looking forward to trying frijj. However, it would be an all new thing, and thus I did try it. And cheryl's description was basically exactly right.. except I couldn't taste the strawberries.

Go and buy some yazoo instead. But not chocolate yazoo.. never chocolate yazoo. That will be all.

#95 - Pokemon convention!

2007-08-19T18:32:00.000Z

I liked pokemon when it originally was popular. The thing is, at the time I was about 7. I mean, I was pretty obsessed.. but I was 7. So it was not really a big deal for me. It's not like I would actually go somewhere, just for pokemon. I had a couple of gameboy games, sure, and I had a couple of hundred pokemon cards (oh dear, that's quite a lot actually), but I'd never been to a pokemon convention before. And that's where all new year comes in.. the pokemon summer day camp, toys-r-us cardiff, 18th August 2007. The whole aim of the day was to get a free mew download (for those of you who don't know, mew is a pokemon). I was invited - half-jokingly - by haz, who was going with rhys and rhys's friend, jack. Somehow, I think that none of them actually expected me to come, I mean, I don't actually LIKE pokemon.. nor do I have any pokemon games.. or know anything about pokemon whatsoever. But I could not turn down an all new thing opportunity such as this, oh no.

After an interesting car journey from caldicot, during which a small child was staring at me (it would seem that small children, medium sized children and in fact large children find me quite interesting), we arrived at toys r us to see a large queue. the first person that I noticed was a girl dressed in a home-made pokemon costume - a green thing with a large red spike on her chest. I was quite terrified. after quite a long time of queueing, at one point in the wrong queue, we finally reached the 'trainer cards'. We had to fill out our Name, age, trainer name (for which I put "monkey", I don't know what I was supposed to put..) and challenge completed (I left that one blank, it's fine.)

then we had a pokemon related quiz to complete. I left two of the answers blank, although I COULD have written banana and tom, in hindsight. I also had to fill out some personal details, e-mail address etc.. then we were told to go and collect our pokemon goodie bags. after about 10 minutes of searching the store (we took a nice photo in the high school musical section, 'cause we're cool like that) we eventually found a man handing out the goodie bags. we followed him around without saying anything for a couple of minutes - I don't really know why - and then we asked about the goodie bags. they contained: stickers, posters, a booklet of some sort and a school timetable that we can fill in next year. Jack and rhys attempted to download a second mew - they failed.

all in all, the pokemon convention was okay. We didn't get a chance to play "pokemon battle revolution" on Wii, nor did we have our faces painted. however, we did see this guy:

I thought he was dressed as a dead christmas tree with balloons on his head... but that's just me. anyway, he made it all worthwile.

#92 - create a bebo skin

now, there were several large flaws in this plan:
- bebo tells you to use photoshop, I only have paint shop pro.
- I have no graphics skills whatsoever

and all of this means that any bebo skin I should create would be absolute rubbish. so I didn't really try too hard. I'm not going to link you to it, it's too shameful.

but I still created one, and that's all that matters, isn't it?

#91 - eat a whole guiseppe's pizza

2007-08-14T22:13:00.000Z

guiseppe's are the pepperoni pizzas they sell in morrisons that are not necessarily for weaklings like me. they are quite spicy.. fine until about halfway through, when suddenly the mouth starts to burn. thus, I have never attempted to eat a whole one of these pizzas. however, since I had not yet done a new thing, I have decided that it would be a good idea.

well, it would be an idea.

I managed to finish the pizza, just about.. but I don't think I'll be having another one in a hurry.

#82 - Fritters on.. Sunday : ) - Cadbury's "double choc" & Organic lemonade.

2007-08-06T09:06:00.001Z

First up: Old-fashioned organic lemonade.. certified as organic by the soil association! huzzah!
actually tasted really good.. it was 59p for a can in waitrose, so it's not too expensive either (20p more than a can of coke, but waitrose is cheap for cans anyway). It was less bitter than you'd normally get in an old fashioned lemonade, but more lemony than a 'pop' sort of lemonade (which basically is just sugar anyway, if I'm being honest.) I'd definitely recommend it. seriously.

Now, cadbury's double choc. This has been in shops for a little while and I've always been curious as to how they can make their chocolate.. double as chocolatey. It would seem that they cannot, because double choc is basically cadbury's dairy milk, but with "chocolate-flavour sauce" inside. Wouldn't that mean that, with it being only "chocolate flavour", it is technically less chocolatey? Should it not be called three-quarters choc instead?
It's a lot messier to eat than the normal dairy milk, and the chocolate flavour sauce is quite syntheticy, I think. So really it's probably better to just buy dairy milk anyway. It wasn't bad - I'm quite sure that I will never find a chocolate product that I consider 'bad' in my life, however the coming fritters on fridays (which will actually be on friday.. the shock!) may well prove me wrong - but it wasn't exactly good. try it, make up your own minds on it..

busking!
we went busking, like, for real.
now, as a bit of backstory, I have NO musical talent whatsoever.. I don't really know why my friends invited me to come, if I'm being honest..
so, we went to ross-on-wye, that popular busking hotspot ¬¬ ... and we set up next to a wall. we had a guitarist (hazel) and two singers (we were deliberately being quiet though). The closest we came to anyone giving us money was when a person yelled out of his car window 'do you sing as well?'. In fact, at one point, people were actually laughing at us. Pointing.. and laughing. seriously.. although that could have been because one of them saw catherine putting money into the hat herself (she's such a moose)
by the end of it, supposedly, hazel's fingers were burning (She put them on my arm just to prove it, it actually did hurt).. so we just gave up.

This was a suggestion of cheryl's.. YAZOO!

I actually can't believe I'd never had this before. It is, quite literally, one of the best drinks ever.

Yazoo, a drink made with skimmed milk, comes in banana, chocolate, strawberry.. and I think vanilla, but don't quote me on it. It comes in different sizes - but according to cheryl, the only way to go is a one litre bottle of strawberry.

I must admit. they are actually rather cool.
probably not the most exciting reading for you though.

so, there was also:

weeeeebccaaaaaaaaam!

I got a webcam. We took screenshots. Check my bebo if you want to see them.. there are rather a lot.

#72 - beat boomshine

2007-07-27T11:33:00.000Z

beat "boomshine"

http://www.k2xl.com/games/boomshine/

I don't really know how to describe boomshine.. it's a strange game.
I was playing it due to boredom and only boredom. Then, at the bottom of the page, I noticed that it said "only 3.97% of all the level 12 games have won".

So what did I do? I won is what I did. Yay.

#71 - Have a conversation with strangers in a music shop, be in a cheesy promo pic & annoy haz and rhys.

2007-07-26T13:37:00.000Z

Catherine, me, Hazel and Hazel's boyfriend went to newport.
A few new things were done here.

new thing a) have a conversation with two scary scary people in HMV.
Catherine was telling us how her boyfriend, Dave, was trying to get her to listen to slipknot. the person who worked in HMV decided to talk to us about slipknot and 'what absolute shit they are', which I thought was quite nice of someone trying to sell us CDs. The man described how his teenage son listened to slipknot and how the aforementioned boy believed that slipknot were 'too hardcore' for his 'past it' dad. The man then went on to describe how slipknot were absolute sissies, and how some other band's lead singer used to go on stage, smash a glass bottle over his head, and then run into the audience, and 'now, you don't see slipknot doing that, do you?'. by this point, myself and hazel were struggling to hide our laughter, but the man continued to talk. 'I mean, look up (whatever the band's name were, I don't remember) on google, now that's violence. The lead singer died young too, that's always a good quality in a rock star, don't you think? I mean, slipknot are just sissies, and there's much better heavy metal out there. I mean.. what music do you listen to?' (this question was directed at Cat) 'Panic! at the disco', she said. at this point he noticed hazel's my chemical romance bag. 'well they're absolute shite. Don't listen to them. I mean, they're crap. tell you what, the band on that guy's t-shirt' (he points to a man in skinny jeans and a band t-shirt who is looking at CDs. We can't see the logo on his t-shirt and attempt to look at it whilst not seeming rude. This situation is too much for me and I dissolve into fits of laughter.) 'they're the best band ever.' says HMV man. 'now, I don't think they're the best band ever' says the guy wearing their t-shirt. 'I mean they're good, but what about (he names some other bands, I am too busy laughing to notice) HMV man shows us the tattoo on his neck, of some band's logo. man in skinny jeans proceeds to tell us that he has the same tattoo in a.. different... location. At this point we run away.

b) be in a cheesy promo picture for starburst choozers.
the new starburst sweets, choozers, are basically starburst but with some liquid sugar stuff in the middle. all over newport, there were people in starburst uniforms, handing sweets out. At around half four, the four of us were sat on a bench in the town center (I know, aren't we cool.) they handed us a sweet each, and then they said 'do you mind if we take a cheesy promo pic of you?' one of the guys made me 'pretend to take this sweet'. I was laughing at this point, so it should be interesting. I can bet that they won't be using that photo anywhere. of course, this was especially good, because I got an extra free sweet. yay.

c) annoy hazel and rhys.
he seemed to spend the whole day staring at his shoes. Myself and catherine, meanwhile, spent the whole day getting louder and louder. and louder. It could be something to do with the three cupcakes we'd each eaten before we met them. and the large amounts of appleade. I get the feeling that he didn't like us.

#70 - create a photo door.

2007-07-26T13:30:00.000Z

create a photo door
I can't take a photo at the moment
cause my camera is broken
I'll put one up when I take one though.
there are more than 100 photos on my photo door. That's a lot of photo paper wasted.

#69 - allow my mother to talk to people.

2007-07-26T13:08:00.000Z

My mum went online, and I didn't lock messenger.
only one person chose to talk to my mother,
his name is cheryl, or at least, that is what I call him. during this conversation I am referred to as 'Dani' and as 'Courtney'.
would you like a transcript of this conversation? of course you would..
Me: brb, my mother is online, please don't talk to her. :)
Him: I will :D
Mother: Good what do you want to say?
Him: Hello...? Dani's Mum..?
Mother: Hello Cheryl
Him: Hii Dani's Mum! Shall I give you a fake name also?
Mother: why the hell not
Him: Ok, erm.. Umm.. Soobuck Shoes :D
Mother: Make it polite or else, not polite so look out
Me: (Oh good god what the hell did you do that for D: - "Courtney")
Him: Hahaha, Poor Courtney..
Mother: Poor you more like. I know what you look like!!!
(by this point, I was walking up and down the room saying 'You did not just say that. You just said that didn't you.. why did you just say that... you did not just say that..')
Him: Are you being mean to me? Is this actually Courtneys mum?
Me: (unfortunately, it is... I don't know what I'll do with her... - "Courtney")
Mother: Course i'm not being mean to you
Him: Lock her up in some sort of cagey contraption.. And then give the key to me.. I will lock her away because she is a mean person :(
Him: Oh thats ok then :)

I had believed that this would be the end of the conversation. I was wrong. The following night a slightly tipsy cheryl had another conversation with my mother. He told her that he was over 16, with a winking emoticon, then he asked her if she was into the whole "swinging scene". I was walking up and down the room saying "I'm going to kill him I'm going to kill him and I'll get my friends to help me kill him catherine does not like her fake name she will help me to kill him I'm going to kill him I am actually going to kill him I'll drown him in apple juice no wait they decided that that would be the perfect substance to drown in so I'll drown him in orange juice instead or appleade 'cause this appleade tastes funny I'm going to kill him I'm going to kill him.'

I shall tell you, that there is no punctuation in that because at the time I wasn't breathing between the "I'm going to kill him"s...

more useful things coming soon

It was 11:30pm and I hadn't done a new thing yet.. so I thought "I know, I'll eat some paper!"...

#65 - Work experience oscars

2007-07-22T19:32:00.000Z

work experience oscars
what absolute and total crap that was..
we had the second lesson off timetable to practice the work experience oscars,
so form by form, we were called up on the stage and one by one walked across it, shook someone's hand, pretended to take a certificate and walked off stage. Every student in year 10 doing this meant that the practice took one hour.
then, in lesson 4, we went to lunch. we had HALF AN HOUR for lunch.. that's just disappointing. then at 1:15, we went to the leisure centre, lined up in our forms and walked in in a single-file line along a strip of red carpet, past a stack of parents and placement providers.
the first six 'Oscars' were awarded, one of which went to my good friend caitlin, and though I maintain that caitlin most definitely deserved that award, it did seem like an awful lot of the winners had undertaken their placement at the award's sponsor. My explanation for this is that the school made them pay to allow their fully deserving nominees, such as my dear caitlin, who definitely deserved her award because she's awesome, to win the award.
then the certificates for about 1/3 of the year - oh the excitement - and the next few oscars.
There were some minor technical glitches, due to which the name of a winner was announced 10 minutes early, and all in all it was a really rubbish event.
The strangest thing of the whole thing was the music. Every time an award was announced, a short clip of music was played, and the school had tried, very feebly in most cases, to make a link between the music and the award. As an example of this, the "Best Placement in Hospitality"'s music was food glorious food.
I think that sums up the event as a whole
don't you?

#64 - fingerprints taken

2007-07-18T19:44:00.001Z

have fingerprints taken
our school, despite almost unanimous votes in the opposite direction from the school council, has decided to install a cashless canteen system. the idea is that today, the entire school has their 'prints taken, and in september we come back and a brand spanking new canteen is installed, into which parents pay dinner money cheques, and we pay for our meals using fingerprintage. this is supposed to prevent people from losing their money and not being able to buy food, or overspending. It can also ban certain ingredients from some accounts, for example if a student has a nut allergy, anything containing nuts cannot be bought.
Of course, this also has obvious disadvantages for the student. If no money is paid into the account, then food can't be bought. Our food purchases can be monitored by the school. A maximum spend will be set and in some cases, this may be unrealistic. The biggest problem that most people have with the system is that, for the past two years, the school has been moaning incessantly about a huge lack of funding, and yet, suddenly, they have put all the mouldy, slightly dilapidated classrooms and broken equipment to the back of their minds, and focussed on installing a hugely expensive, untested, unwanted new canteen system. It did make me wonder what the point was.
There were a few people in protest in the hall, who refused to have their fingerprints taken for this, but most people agreed. The reasoning for this, I assume, is that the school controls all, and if you don't have your fingerprints taken, you don't get to eat. at all. So naturally, I have given my printage and a lovely, and I'm sure rather unflattering, photograph of me to the kindly friendly school authorities.
I wonder what will come of this?

#57 - Healthy and nutritious day

2007-07-15T07:28:00.000Z

I'm a bit of a sugar addict, I can eat five chocolate bars in one day if I really want to.
so today, haz made me do this D:
I woke up in the morning and had toast, not with butter and a glass of orange juice
then I got into school and had ANOTHER glass of 'Oranka' orange juice (there are no other healthy drinks in our school 'cause the water is all flavoured and besides, the orange juice is 25p) and a nectarine (had an argument with haz & caitlin - is a nectarine different to a peach? Yes, yes it is)
then it was lunch and I had a half chicken baguette, and an apple
then I went home and bought some strange fruit puree candy... it was all brownish and sticky so I think it was definitely 'healthy' at least.. bleh
I had a beef sandwich for dinner,
and some raspberries
then I ran out of fruit and I had to eat some radish... just.. on it's own. it burned.

at 8am the following morning, anyone walking past my house may have seen me eating some chocolate.. but pfffffffft

#56 - out-insane an insane person.

2007-07-11T19:05:00.000Z

It didn't work.
It just.. it didn't work..
I'll give you the whole conversation, and see what you think:

Her: whubu?
Me: whubu?
will.. hazel.. use.. blue.. umbrellas?
Yes. yes she will.
Me: hazel says
"I can't wait to have my blue umbrella.. thanks, kirsty!"

if she gets one.. I want one too
Her: haven't been up 2 much apart from using ever swear word i know at my computer i never knew the extent of my vo cab since now when it comes to fuckin computers lol xx
Her: lol i don't want one lol i don't like the colour blue very much
Me: well, I haven't been up to much either..
I just went on ebay and bought several knives.. then I covered my floor in seaweed and bought some fish.. they died pretty quickly actually.. I wonder why.. then I filled my bathtub full of tango clear - it's so clear, it's amazing! - and put my coathanger collection (I got a new one by the way, it's orange, so retro!) in there to clean off, they didn't take too well to the mudbath salon treatment I gave them last week, sometimes I think I just spoil them too much.. oh, and hazel says 'when do I get my blue umbrella? the anticipation is killing me!'
Me: you're supposed to supply the umbrellas.. those are the rules when you say 'whubu' or 'wdubu' or 'w-ubu'...
ignorance is not an excuse, haz wants her umbrella.
Her:first of all wot r u on and where can i get some lol ur really hyper
Me: 'm not "on" anything..
I've just given you an accurate description of my day so far...
although I missed out the part in which I spent an hour sat in a field talking to the bugs.. was that what made my description seem inaccurate, abnormal, or, as you so nicely put it, 'hyper'?
Her:
lol oh soz ok i'll supply the umbrellers next time lol ok how do i give her an unbreala just sent u mail lol
Her: lol ohh lol the lesson is don't talk to bugs, u only have to start worrying when u get the right answears from them back. ur day sounds cool soz i wasn't around on sat i didn't really like the heat
Me: that's quite alright, me, emma, susannah and of course, Pepper, had a great day larking about, we graffiti'd some signs, and we stole some cheese.. a good day on the whole.. there were no coat hangers there though, always a down-side.. but of course, we found some gorgeous poisonous mushrooms in the school field, and did you know that mr. williams was world-champion in bucking bronco riding? 'cause I sure didn't.. 30 minutes he was on the thing, 30 minutes.. now that's what I call impressive.. of course, it was nothing compared to pepper.. she's still on that bull now, that girl amazes me so very much...
what did you do that fine saturday? I think I saw you through my spying binoculars...
Me: I.. er.. I shouldn't have said that..
don't tell anyone about my spying binoculars, will you?
Her: lol never knew mr williams had a hiddin talent for riding things lol i was wiv my m8 matt in the afternoon as i hadn't seen him in a while and we were catching up as all my friends in yr 11 have gone so i hardly see any of them. lol so when where those binoculars spying then lol
Me: I asked you not to mention my binoculars...

but of course, my binoculars were watching woolworths.. they had a specific coathanger in there that I wanted.. and I was trying to make sure that no-one bought it, it's limited edition you see.. green with purple spots, frilly, and with extra detailing on the hook... unfortunately this old flibbertigibet got there before me.. I didn't manage to get the coathanger, although I did get some rather lovely curtain hooks... speaking of windows.. when I was at the fete I smashed a few of them there windows myself, with my lovely iron football.. I bought it there, they said I wasn't to use it but I thought, 'I'll soak it in acid, that'll soften it up a bit', unfortunately it created a rather powerful acid ball... that poor woman, she'll never get her face back.. but oh well, that's enough of that, so, your friend's in year 11 you say?
Her: yh i have a quite a few older friends but don't worry you and the gang will always be special to me. yh they've all gone off for the summer but oh well so how was ur day at school?

I think she just pretended I wasn't talking, actually..
because she couldn't have believed me.. and it's not normal by anyone's standards, except for Haz's (apparently)

I realise this was a very very weird new thing.. but it kept me amused for a while :]

This was Laura's idea, not mine... basically, I drank an ice-cold smoothie, got a freeeezing drink in the canteen & ate a bucketload of ice cream. My teeth are cold as, I've got an immense headache, and my fingers are complete icicles.

Brainfreeze hurts.. why did I do this? other than 'because I'd never done it before', which is a bit obvious..

#53 - sponge a teacher, be a gladiator & encourage people to name a moose.

2007-07-08T17:26:00.000Z

awesome day this,
the new things I did were:
- 'sponge a teaacher'
- be a gladiator
- encourage people to name a moose.

I've copied this from my rubbish other blog, 'cause it took waay too long to write out, but the bits are in there somewhere.

the fete. Hot as. went on pretty much everything, but I drew the line at the bucking bronco - mr williams fell off after half a second, and although it's highly possible that the person operating the thing had a grudge against him (quite a lot of people do, it seems..), I didn't fancy my chances much. I was there with emsuz, and we saw cat about halfway through. Started off by trying to get people to name the moose - Ed wanted to call it 'c***', but that wasn't on the list, thankfully - but just ended up hanging around. I went on the gladiators against cat (new thing, ayyyye), and lost quite pitifully.. (4-1) I think it may have been fixed, but I have a strength of about -7 (compared to cat at -4), so perhaps it was justified... Then I noticed the 'sponge the teacher' stand.. (new thing again, aaaaaaaye) Green was on there & I was like, I'm not missing this opportunity, so I went up there and I threw a sponge at his face. He threw the damn thing back... my jeans were soaked & he had a better aim than me... threw another one (he threw it back again) and another.. I hit him in the face 2/3 times.. better than Catarina, who got him a grand total of 0 times.. although she maintains that she wasn't aiming for the face, she was trying to make him look like he wet himself.. ahahah, lol, good times.went on the giiiant as slide, why do they put those stupid-ass rope ladders on there? painful as.. and I got stuck to the velcro halfway down and toppled over, suz-face was like 'aahhhhahahhahahahah' but whatever, I'm still cool. saw Natticus fall off the mechanical surfboard & graze his leg, funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, only 'cause Natticus keeps calling me 'scum' or 'one lower than scum'... waltzers were all 'omgfaceismelting!' but still awesome as. Man I was dizzy... then I went to the smaller slide.. hahahaha, I'm such a kid. Got a free balloon, too, & some lollies. I love those lollies.then at 7 it was the fest... was talking to kirsty && hannah nugent most of the night, but for the last ten minutes I was hanging around outside with all the cool kids.. 'cause I'm cool. it seems that ridley & ed are very popular among the slightly drunk. And by slightly.. I don't mean slightly. I found it funny.. but I'm abit weird so I would...

Saturday - sleep downstairs all night :]

Duude.. sofas hurt my neck.
as most of you who read this will know (Because you're all my stalkers and you were most probably there), it was my birthday party on friday/saturday. AMAZINGLY large thanks to becky, because I'm quite sure that without her, her games and her fantabulistic spice girl impression, we would all have hovered awkwardly for the whole time. Or.. until I played 'pool party' by the aquabats and we all started dancing.. haha..
it was the best party I have ever had, although, after the sleeping downstairs [I hogged the sofa, but I feel sorry for Hazel on the chair, and Cat and Becky on the floor], I spent saturday and most of sunday half-asleep.. and having had a sugar overload... 4 tubs of ben & Jerrys... chocolate fountain.. 'super' jelly beans.. gummy things.. parma violets... chocolate bars... cherry tango.. the list is endless. also, since not all of the sugar was eaten, I feel like I got a houseful of sweets in for hallowe'en, and all the trick or treaters thought 'maybe I'll stay in tonight..'
I think that may have happened. I really don't know any more.

#39 - Fritters on Friday - fruitella choccolate.

2007-06-23T08:55:00.000Z

Fritters on friday!
YES. It's that time again.
and still no video, because Hazthepoo was not with me at the time, and she is the only person I know with a soundy-camera.
Today, I ate:
Fruitella Chocolate. I expected weird chocolatey fruitchew things, but no, they couldn't make anything that interesting, that's a bit dumb. instead, I got the cheapie equivalent of Cadbury's chocolate eclairs - just toffee with chocolate inside. How is that 'fruitella' in any way? Tell me!

#37 - identical shoes

2007-06-21T16:29:00.001Z

New thing #37:
Identical shoes... 'cause I'm cruel like that.
They were £3 from new look. In the same size. And bought at the same time.
'cause I'm mean like that.

Although, for my meanness, Bloody hell those shoes hurt.
The one wearing them with tights is Catarina, The one wearing them (Stupidly) without tights is me. And my heels hurt like hellll. Mayte.

Sorry.

#36 - cheesegrating for no reason & all new year nightmare.

2007-06-20T17:04:00.000Z

Cheesegrating for no reason + All new year Nightmare.

1. Cheesegrating for no reason:
It's hazel's fault. Not mine.
2. All New Year Nightmare. I woke up at 11:59, going 'OHcrap I forgot to do a new thing!' and then I was like 'Wait. I did a new thing. -zzzz-'

#35 - try on every lipstick.

2007-06-19T16:03:00.000Z

New thing #35 -
try on every lipstick colour/magic skin PH changing lipstick.

The person in superdrug gave us a really funny look... to be fair I had a multicoloured hand. the best one was neon pink, closely followed by the PHy one, which was a green stick, and I put it on my hand and it turned pink. PINK?
This was a shame for Catarina, because she said 'Aw, I thought I'd finally found a green lipstick'.
Because apparently, she'd been looking for one. o.O

#34 - Listen to a rough version of a song.

2007-06-19T15:54:00.000Z

Sunday's new thing? But it's tuesday. Ohmyohmy, how could I be so cruel.
I'm sorry kids, my only excuse is 'I'malazyarse'
Anyway. New Thing #34: Listen to a 'rough version' of a song.
That awesome Wheelybins kid (also known as Haz) sent me a rough copy of this song which she recorded, for me to point out the bad bits. Either I'm a musical retard (likely), or there were NO bad bits (Veryvery likely). This means: It was aaaawesome. Haz ftw, just because 'ftw' annoys and confuses her.

#33 - Update - Sponsored silence update

2007-06-17T10:38:00.000Z

Sponsored silence = hard.
Tish, my lovely insane friend, was late to meet me. So I had to go up to some ladies holding a pad with "excuse me, have you got the time?".
They obviously thought I couldn't talk, and I couldn't hear them either, because they were saying 'aww bless' and 'isn't it cruel leaving her on the streets with just a pad...?'
then, finally, fishsticksface turned up, and I was squeaking inanely. She called me a retard about 20 times, and she had to ask for my food, and bus ticket.
She wasn't too amused, but I was.
lol, updates on sunday and monday later.
For now, I'mma lie down.

#33 - Sponsored silence

2007-06-16T07:47:00.000Z

Sponsored silence.

At midnight last night, I had to stop talking. And now, I really, really want to talk. Not because I have anything to say, you understand, but because I want to see if I still can. 1/3 of the day is done, and so far people have sponsored me £21.81, which is not too bad considering that no-one believes I'll actually do it. But such is the power of this all new year, that I would consider sellotaping my mouth shut if I really had to.

Lovelove,
Your silent friend, Dani x
PS updates on my "shenanigans" later. :)

#32 - Fritters on Friday - YumYum

2007-06-16T07:44:00.000Z

Yum Yum. Anything named that has to taste good, right? It's like the law or something.
Actually, it did. It was basically a plain doughnut, twisted into a weird shape, and covered in a weird, half-plasticlike, half-sticky icing. It's quite hard to hold, though, and you get icing alll over your fingers. But still, yum yums = yum yum.

I wouldn't buy it again though, 'cause it's cheaper and nicer just to buy a sugar doughnut.

#31 - attempt to look suspicious in an exam.

2007-06-14T20:57:00.000Z

New thing #31,
Attempt to look suspicious in a science exam.

Invigilators = useless. I spent twenty minutes of my science exam attempting to whistle, I kept looking around the room shiftily and looking down at my paper hurriedly every time an invigilator came near me, and I had lots of writing all over my leg. I kept coughing in a weird rhythm and everything. And do you know what they did? NOTHING. They did nothing. Seriously, next time I would consider cheating. Only I wouldn't, 'cause that would be a bad thing to do and I don't want to get a U in my exams.

Fritters on friday action tomorrow,

#30 - swap a chip for a soul.

2007-06-13T17:34:00.000Z

New thing #30

Swap a chip for a soul.

I don't like chips. But Cat does. Cat had some chips. Someone asked if they could have a chip. I said "yes, but it will cost you your soul". Instead of walking away (like any normal person would, hell, even like I would...), he took a chip.
I did not know his name, but I have named his soul "Jeffrey".

These new things are becoming less beneficial and more stupid daily, but Saturday's will be good. I promise.
I have to tell you about saturday's now:
I will be doing a sponsored not-speaking-words. I will be able to make squeaking or 'mmhmm' noises, and I will be able to write down my words, but I will not be able to speak anything in the dictionary aloud.

This will be sponsored, because I am cool.
If you see me in person, throw your sponsor moneys at me. If not, then I'll be giving to St David's foundation Hospice, so go to one of their shops and give your money straight to them.

This is their website, should you wish to make an online donation: http://www.stdavidsfoundation.co.uk/

Thanks kiddies,

PS - St David's Foundation Hospice Care does not in any way condone the swapping of souls for foodstuffs. It's only worth it when it's a car.

#29 - follow up by hazel: Ahem. . .

2007-06-13T16:56:00.000Z

I am going to comment on both how much i hate you AND how much i like him.

I hate you all very much and i like (not love, then? LIAR! - Dani) Rhys verryy much . . Done :]

Although now i feel dumb because it took me a while to figure out how to post on here =S

Also, Dani can't think of a new thing for today!!! -points and laughs. . hysterically-

I'm out.

DAMN YOU!! - hazel

Yes. To hell. - hazel

#29 - simultaneous interrogation...?

2007-06-12T16:54:00.000Z

New Thing #29:
Sing the 'Hazel has a boyfriend' Song.
Also, embarrass a friend by saying the above statement on the internet.
also, and I think this is a better new thing tbh,
freaky conversation.
Sounds normal for me, doesn't it? Allow me to explain.
Gather together some friends over MSN. Pick someone (in this case, Hazel's boyfriend, because we're cruel like that). Each friend opens a messenger window to talk to the 'victim', and everyone attempts to say the same thing simultaneously.
Bit weird.
The phrase we chose to say was "what exactly are your intentions with our Hazel?"
We both managed to say it, and I'm quite sure he copied and pasted the same reply to each of us (-5 points). However, this reply mentioned genocide of chavs (+5000000000000 points).
I asked him later whether we managed to say it simultaneously, and apparently we were "within 30 seconds of eachother".
Therefore, this new thing was a failure. But it was quite fun.

Over to Hazel for a statement on either: How much she hates us or How much she likes him. Who knows. Or no statement at all, the meanie.

#28 - indoor street party

2007-06-11T18:53:00.000Z

Have a street party... er... inside.

OK, I'm going to admit it. For my duke of edinburgh's award, every monday, I go and I help at Brownies. Yes. The little people's division of the girl guides. and today, for some straange reason, they all made 'bead necklaces' out of paper, and had a street party. Only, it's on a main road, so instead they had a 'tables in the middle of the room' party.

This was supposed to be some sort of history lesson thing for them, a 1953 Queen's coronation street party, So they ate Spam sandwiches, Jam sandwiches, One small cake and Jelly and ice-cream. All sounds very english. And shockingly, everyone was made to eat their crusts. Even me. This made me sad. I didn't get to wear a bead necklace though, which was disappointing. I got to put them all together and have children screaming at me 'help me next, help me next'.

But still. I found something out. I have always underestimated spam, it has been a lowly foodstuff in my mind, but it is actually really rather nice. and I'm sorry Elle, maybe this is all about food.

#27 - pop rocks and ice cream

2007-06-11T18:44:00.000Z

I know it wasn't fritters on friday, but I still did a food related new thing yesterday. I ate pop rocks and ice cream together, which, to be honest, I would've thought would be a good combination... Pop rocks: good, Ice cream: good... but no, It wasn't to be. The ice cream just took the pop out of the pop rocks, and then... well... pop rocks - pop = rocks. Rocks? who wants to eat rocks? not me, that's for sure.

I think the whole thing of it being disappointing, may have been something to do with the fact that it was chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.. luuuush

#25 - fritters on friday - terry's chocolate orange mint

2007-06-08T15:19:00.000Z

It's fritters on friday time again, kids, aren't you the lucky ones.

Today I tried a chocolate bar. I know that this may have been cheating slightly, but it was a "terry's chocolate orange mint" which I hoped, for the sake of you kids, would contain the flavours of both orange and mint. When I left the shop, I realised it said "It's not orange, it's mint" which made me breathe an audible sigh of relief. What's strange is that they still shaped it like orange segments. I will never understand these people and they will never understand me.

All I can say about the chocolate bar was, that there were moments when I was eating it, and it tasted just like normal chocolate... those were the best times. And it left a bitter minty aftertaste in my throat. Hazel said "the way you're describing this, it makes me believe that you have never eaten anything flavoured with mint before".

Sometimes hazel just makes sense.

#24 - Play violin in a field

2007-06-07T16:45:00.001Z

New Thing #24: Play violin in a field.

Me and my friend Cat, who incidentally doesn't look very much like a cat, decided to go busking. And then we decided not to, because people are scary and we are crap. Of course, this turned out to be far from the truth in Cat's case (although she is possibly not quite as brilliant as hazel), but anyway, we decided to leave busking for later on in the all new year. And instead, we decided to sit in an empty field, and play instruments. Cat is a guitar person, and I am a violin person, so it did not particularly work to play the instruments together.. trust me, we tried. There were the soft, acoustic-y awesome sounds coming from Cat's guitar... and the loud, screechy, high pitched noises from my squeak-machine. But still, I can say 'I have played violin in the middle of a field'.
We also took some poserish photos, 'cause that's the kind of people we are, but the camera ran out of batteries (as I may have previously mentioned, it eats them like I eat pop rocks, chocolate, and anything else containing traces of sugar), so I'll upload them when I get some more. Until then, just imagine two girls in school uniform and converses which we sneaked past the teachers, sat under a tree in a field by a river, playing mismatched instruments, near some cows. That should be the general gist of my all new thing.

Back tomorrow with some Fritters on friday mayhem... Until then, my english teacher will be disappointed that I didn't say "fritters on friday fun".

#23 - Get a website filtered by the school

2007-06-06T15:31:00.000Z

New thing #23: Get a website filtered by the school.

That's right kids, I'm a rebel. Earlier today, when I wrote up my blog, I was (as I said) in an ICT lesson. and when I pressed 'view blog' afterwards, I got the filtered screen. It had been fine two minutes before. This means: a) If you want to go on my blog in your handy IT lessons, and you go to my school, you have to use one of those sneaky, escape the filter sites (don't use them for anything you want to log in to, they'll probably just stealll your identity, kids) . And b) I should be very very paranoid because they are obviously watching me, and recording what I do.

If you know anything about me being on a secret, Candid camera or big brother style TV show, then please do let me know.

Otherwise, I'll be back tomorrow.
