going to alton towers! (thats a big theme park in england if you didnt know) super-exciting i get to take a bus at midnight with my schoolmates. The weather's grim, ice on the cages Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming its a shame theres nothing like david bowie anymore. i love blackout

THE HIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they're coming back to the UK in spring!!!!!! not anywhere me!!!!!!! i'm begging my dad to let me go to london to see them. seriously, if you want good live music no matter what genre of music you like, go see the hives. in other news: no bowling tomorrow, shopping instead. doing better in french. doing worse in chemistry. still owe people christmas presents, will owe birthday presents soon aussi. also need suggestions on how to become a well rounded individual so all the universities love me, answers on a postcard PUH-LEASE. courses considering applying for - french, german, italian, psychology, polish, politics, media studies. only not all of them obv. yknow i've actually never been to london, i really want to go cos like camden and thats meant to be amaaaaaaaaazing. it is like right before my exams though :| och well. xiang brought me back a purse from china! (purse=wallet in america-talk. we call what you call a purse, a bag or handbag) but it cost like 20p xD im listening to such weeaboo music, i would be so ashamed if i cared what people thought of me. i dont even know what they're saying, its like WA NI PU KA KA ME SU KI TO KI SHI DE LA WAAAAAAAAI! and i'm not like being racist and slagging it or anything, thats actually what it sounds like. meh, i'm enjoying it. also, alton towers school trip! if i can cough up £40. my fringe ("bangs") needs cut so badly, ive been side parting it all week and its such-a-hassle! i cant be doing with that every morning. otherwise i'm just blinded, and not even in a cool-emoly way, i just look like i have no eyes. i realised today i actually miss chinese dancing, even though i was making a complete idiot of myself in front of the school on regular occasion, it was kind of nice. NOT the clothes/hairstyles though. but mrs a was like a control freak about the whole thing, but still made us choreograph it all ourselves. and she kept telling me my fingers were not phoenix-y enough, complaining that the kirbys kept coming out my hair, feeding me pot noodles and casting me as the man and making me wear a stupid hat. ooft. thats enough for one round kiddiwinks, enjoy that piece of shite. still excited at even the merest chance of the hives.

yeeeeeeeeeeah prelims soon :| they start febuary 14th, what bastards my school are xD not that it really matters cos it is just another day. in scotland the school system is like so: you go to nursery from like 2-4 (only i never went) primary from 5-11 (but i started when i was 4) and secondary/high school from 11-17ish in 4th year of high school you sit these exams called standard grades, you normally do 8 but my school sucks and you just do 7, and you start working on these in 3rd year. they're graded from 1-7, 1 being the best and 7 the worst, and theres very little coursework ( a few experiments and writeups you have to do but thats it) i got five 1s and two 2s which was okay. also there are intermediate ones and intermediate twos (int1s and int2s >.>), and int 1 is equal to a 3 at standard grade and int 2 is equal to a 1 at standard grade. so people who didnt do so good at their standard grades do these in 5th year. otherwise you do HIGHERS. ((crying)) they're graded from A-F, you do them in one year (5th or 6th depending on your sg results) and they are hard and theres lots to learn. prelims are exams you do which arent the official ones, but you can use them to appeal your grade if you fail. because highers are what you use to get into university. i hope that interested someone? idk, im interested in how things work in other countries, i dont think most people are. i love original people. like david bowie! amazing. why isnt there anyone like that anymore?? except maybe patrick wolf but whos heard of him? hes not half as famous as "my chemical romance" (i dont mean to keep using them as an example, its just they're kindof a good one of what i mean) but i think hes infinitely more talented, lyrically and musically. he can play so many instruments, and build them but i heard somewhere gerard way cant even play guitar and sing at the same time? i want somebody to prove me wrong on that. i really wished i lived in the 70s or whatever so i could grow up with all the glam rock and punk and stuff. not "emo" or "rave", please. AU REVOIR, MES PETITS CHOU-FLEURS xx

1. i love old pictures with modern bits added in? i dunno if theres a proper name for it. 2. i love the umbrella hat that bruce has when he's doing the maid of the mist report in bruce almighty 3. i adore the style of adam and the ants so much. i like the whole piratey glam thing they've got going on. 4. i like it when i brush the hairs on my cats ear when she sleeps and her ear twitches 5. my favourite song from singin in the rain is the "dream of you" one because the dance is so funny. 6. i am fascinated by movement, speech and languages. 7. skins is my favourite modern tv show. i've watched series one over far too many times (especially the cassie episode) and i cant wait for series two. does tony survive?? i also mildly obsess over the characters, each one for different reasons. 8. i really really like boxes of new colouring in pens or pencils, but they have to be completely unused or they lose the magic. 9. i love phoenix wright games and i wish there were more cases in each one v.v 10. cakes and biscuits that are decorated really nicely. HATE: 1. people who are not real in terms of looks. why are they so afraid to look human? like jeffree star or whatever his name is. 2. people who go along with the crowd and dont form their own opinion. 3. manipulation and manipulators. 4. fashion magazines, they try and pretend they are "ultra hip" etc but they are ripping you off and they take themselves too seriously. 5. which brings me to my last point, people who take themselves so seriously and never have real, stupid, silly fun. they think too much about what other people think of them..who cares? if you read this then you should do it in your journal toooooo because i am nosy and i like to know these things

i slept for 6 hours! and singin in the rain is on so i'm in a gooooooood mood now 8D i really want a wii! i was playing it at my cousins yesterday and its so funnnnnnn. we played simpson game for hours, i wanted to play mario party and guitar hero but my cousin is 8 so he was quite engrossed with the simpsons. dunno what else to write for now, i'll add to it later, toodleoooooooo
