Manic Present Wrapping

It's getting towards that time of year again...CHRISTMAS!! Well, it's only September, but all my friends and family conveniently decided to have their birthdays in the months leading up to Christmas, which means double presents for everyone. I was thoughtful and decided to arrive after Christmas so everyone can buy my presents in the sales or with their Christmas shopping.  Today I've got everyone's birthday presents wrapped and safely stored in my 'present suitcase', but the house is now covered in sellotape and wrapping paper! Now I can save up in preparation for the nightmare that is Christmas shopping..

The past few weeks at school have been pretty easy-going to be fair. I've filled in my head girl application form and I need to hand it in tomorrow- I was unsure of whether to apply or not, as there's some people who are so confident and organised and mature and deserve it so much and I felt bad that I might get in their way so to speak, but my form tutor said he'd hunt me down with dogs if I didn't. I really hope I don't get as far as the interview stage; in my last interview I started babbling on about World War 2 and told a complete pack of lies. Speaking publicly is not my forte. At least I'll be able to put on my CV that I applied for the position.

Did I mention that Ella and I are going to see The Killers in November? ASDFGHJKL I CAN'T WAIT
It's also 11 days until we see The Midnight Beast in Leeds! It only seems like last week we got the tickets, where has this year disappeared to?

Films, Friends and Family

I'm sure you've probably come to expect a lack of regular posts from me by now but sorry anyway guys, you know how much I love you for reading my ramblings!

Last Friday we went to see Ted because it was the lovely Sasha's birthday. We all found it bloody hilarious, especially the 'parsnip' line which I'm still laughing about now (and is too rude to quote on here) and the end when the fat kid became Taylor Lautner! Nobody else in the cinema was laughing though which made it feel a bit awkward. Miserable sods. After that we went back to Sasha's for a sleepover: we made an amateur horror film but it kinda failed so we're claiming it's a spoof...There's so many one-second long videos of us just bursting out laughing so we have plenty of outtakes! I fell asleep at 2 in the morning but somehow Ella, Sasha and Emily stayed up until 6! I'm just not cut out for this no sleep lark.

In the morning we watched Happy Feet 2, made cheese on toast and ate Malteasers- a good way to spend a morning in my opinion! I had to go at about 2 because I was staying at my dad's house that night and I needed to sort my stuff out before he picked me and my sister up. The day after we went to see Brave which was absolutely stunning and adorable, Disney Pixar just keep on making great films!

On Monday and Tuesday I mostly just chilled out before going back to school. The holidays seem to have gone quickly but when I think back they seem to have gone slowly, I don't know. I'm feeling pretty good to be back at school for the final 9 months though, I just want to get it over and done with. The bad news is I'm in a chav-laden form but my timetable is okay.

At the weekend my mum's dragging us over to the coast again because, as usual, the weather is great when we've just started back at school and she wants to catch the last of the good weather before it turns crap again. I'm actually looking forward to winter, it's my favourite time of year! Christmas is always expensive for me because everyone's birthday seems to fall around it so I have to buy two presents for most people! I've just realised how expensive this year will be for me- I've worked out Christmas will cost me around £140, then next summer it's prom and I'll need a printer and more stationary and clothes for college. I have £25 at the moment but we'll be getting t-shirts for the TMB gig soon so that's £20 gone. Also my bloody phone has packed up AGAIN (no internet/Twitter=I can't survive) so I'll have to sell it when I get some money for my birthday and buy a new one. I have my eye on a good old reliable Nokia that still has my beloved qwerty keyboard and a Twitter app!

Thank you again for reading my blog- huge virtual hug for you!
