[Tuesday the 18th of April at 6:51 pm] aimee hirst is the best person i have ever met, my god she is brilliant! 2 differences between the sprout and the bean

basically a pointless update. [Monday the 17th of April at 7:52 pm] [ mood | rather bored ] [ music | stars ] I'm having an '18th' party in Certificate 18 in York tomorrow, if anyone's in town GET YOURSELF DOWN! I sound like a breakfast show DJ, ha. Should be a larf, I'm going to try and document the night.. and then make myself sit down and put it on here, eugh. To make this entry have some remote interest, here's a picture of me when I went for my organised-at-the-last-minute adventure in London the last week. I don't have any knowledge of photo editing in photoshop so I had to turn it black and white to cover up how dreadful and tired I looked, just in case anyone wondered, y'know. But yeah, this is me showing my age when me and Jacob went to have curry in Brick Lane. Apparently everyone was muttering under their breath because we kept swearing loudly, tut. The curry was bloody gorgeous! ..and there was a rather disturbing murial of Princess Diana on the wall, along side lots of erotic Indian ones. Just went on my old photobucket by accident, oh the nostalgia! How pretty is Patrick Wolf?! : I hope he gets over his internal illness and tours soon. Talking of which, is it just me or is this Patrick knitting... I bloody hope it is. That was on one of the walls in the Eco Style exhibition in the Crafts Council that filled part of my time in London Town. I didn't actually read much of the information, just looked at the clothes, a lot. It was ace, like a big scrapbook in a museum. Hum, random: I really like the lyric "you don't pull my strings 'cause I'm better, man" in that Kooks song at the moment, it's really satisfying to copy his accent. 1 differences between the sprout and the bean

[Wednesday the 15th of February at 6:17 pm] [ mood | hadiha ] OMG everyone should check out what's happened to Hayley in Home & Away, sooo funny, what are the writers thinking?! I think I need to find some pics. 6 differences between the sprout and the bean

[Friday the 13th of January at 8:31 pm] [ mood | exhausted ] [ music | editors - munich in my head ?? ] Ugh, I'm poor, Warehouse haven't got me on their bloody payroll yet, the gyps! Please buy things from me! :D There's loads of stuff on my post on Thriftstore if you're down with that, haha, and Ebay stuff here! Danke danke! Apparently I own a 'rare' design drop dead tshirt, which I've worn all of about 4 times because it's evil, so I've jumped on the bandwagon to get some big money off some idiot. There's a BMTH tshirt on like 41 quid at the moment, whaaat??! (the guys name has dinosaurs in it, ahem.) I'll update properly sometime soon probably. I feel so icky, I swear I've been hungover all bloody day, and I kept over-balancing at college haha. Silly indie filled party. 9 differences between the sprout and the bean

Next tuesday!! [Thursday the 15th of December at 5:50 pm] [ mood | exciteed ] [ music | roisin murphy ] GO!!! Ee I'm well excited, I'm going as Robin (of Batman and.. fame), I tried to persuade Will to go as Batman for comic value but I don't think that's going to happen, so I'll be Aimee's sidekick for the night :D it's all about the lycra and capes! Everyone's going out afterwards, shall be great. Yeah I can't be bothered to write anything else, it's Home and Away in 5 minutes, haha. p.s yes the above is a recycled picture, but nobody saw it as my party invitation :( and god he's just so sexy, I felt it necessary to get him out there. And I gave him a hat. 8 differences between the sprout and the bean

I CAN'T BE ARSED TO WRITE AN ESSAY, pff. [Tuesday the 29th of November at 6:40 pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | this tom vek song is v.v.good. ] I got a jobb!!! In Warehouse, the woman who interviewed me is so lovely and they were playing frou frou - let go when i went in, so I think it's going to be ace, despite being a shop I barely ever go in, I just wanted a job in a shop, and I'll get a discount and stuff (apparently 25%), yey! I have an induction on Monday, then work late night thursdays and sat/sun and a couple of Xmas days for 12 weeks (Xmas temp.). I hope they maybe keep me on although, y'know, they probably won't. I'm going to try really hard so they do though, haha. Kind of glad I gave up on H&M, the interview sounds scary as hell, you have to sell an object that you're given to the rest of the people having an interview i.e a room of people around my age/older than me that I don't know, which is close to my worst nightmare. I'm getting scarily addicted to tsuk and ebay, I fiinally got some second hand boots just now, for a rather sickening price, but I got all caught up and over-excited in the bidding war, and they are for christmas and saving my toes from cold, yeaah, and they're quirky and Marc Jacobs-esque and they better fit and be how I think they are. And the other day I got 2 Radiohead albums, Bjork's Post and How Soon Is Now - Smiths 7" single all for £15 inc. posting on tsuk!! and they're all nice and buy my jumpers so I have spending pennies, and it's good practise for when I get a website, so I'm now pretty determined on getting Ohh The Noise (yeah, it'll still be called that, haha) set up after Christmas, and I still want to do the whole selling friends things and stuff, and me and Aimee'll have to get some clothes on there and Sofia can make a nice site and be my nice partner and such.. so make things! My hair's faded and looks a bit gingery/purple, and more like 'period' hair, hmm... re-touched tomorrow though! Mwahhaha. Channel 5 plays good music in its adverts, like bloody Múm (?!!!) and Death Cab, they obviously got some good young ad person. Home and Away is reaally good at the moment if anyone's interested. We got new carpets and I don't really like them, they're not cream like I thought they would be, hum. Err, I did have interesting things to talk about before, I've forgotten them though. Here's the proper line-up for the 19th: i was a cubscout (www.myspace.com/iwasacubscout) The Author, The Title Seducedwomandead (/seducedwomandead) If I Started Killing... (/ifistartedkilling) Capulet (/idon'tknowyet, but they're on a very good record label and are apparently mint, will edit this soon as you should listen to them!) +more... GO! No flyers yet, grr I'M GOING TO THE CHEAP DAY OF THE CLOTHES SHOW NEXT WEEK BITCHES! 2 skirts for a fiver pleaase. Yeah ok, enough now. 9 differences between the sprout and the bean

[Sunday the 20th of November at 5:57 pm] [ mood | my hands are really cold ] [ music | old modest mouse ] Riight, time for an update. First off, Will rang me up in the morning before college on Tuesday, and told me what had happened to Joe Lister, and even thouh I didn't know him and didn't know he was until I saw his picture later in the news, I nearly cried. Then I heard it all day on Radio 1 news and Mr Mitchell giving a statement to the press, and it was so awful, that he was so young and the fact it happened in those eery caves, and weird that it had happened to someone in my old school because you just never think something like that would happen near you. I find it so hard to accept when innocent people die, especially people of his age. I can't even imagine how his family feel. It's kind of like when my old friend's neighbor died, and he was only about 18/19 and he got hit by a train when drunk near Tesco, and he was so nice and I'd spoken to him once or something, it really hit me when I found out what had happened to him. I'm going to try and get to one of the gigs in memory of him, which is a lovely idea and all the money goes to some kind of memorial for him, and I've heard lots of good things about how the school is all pulling together :), although it's not been the same. And I hope Mr Power gets better, he is one of the nicest teachers at Tad and I bet they really had to try to make him not go back, I heard that he's trying to resign but Mr Mitchell won't let him, which just shows what kind of school Tad really is :). Also Aimee told me last night that a girl called Laura Wright who went to my old dancing classes had liked him for like two years and he was going to ask her out when they got back from Bewerly, which made it all even sadder, because it shows anything could happen to anyone at anytime, and then they're gone. ( vain crap ) I NEED TO GO OUT WITH EVERYONE. I have my nice Xmas pizza hut meal :), but I want everyone at the next Grammar please (although the whole indie overload/realisation i'm not very individual and the way I dress is now rather alike to Topshop's main lines makes it less good, it's still ace), Aimee especially, we need to party!!! OH and I also want everyone at a gig on 19th December at Joes Well, I wanted i was a cubscout to play near me so I made Will organise a gig, haha, and then I made it be fancy dress, hahaha OH YES! It is near christmas, and it's £3 to get in (as opposed to 4) for those dressed up, as an incentive. The line-up is: -i was a cubscout -Will's band The Author The Title (or maybe The Title The Author, god knows, although I should, but at this present second I can't remember, tut) INC. SAXOPHONIST that have proper names that I can't remember either. I hope that's not a secret/suprise aswell. I haven't heard anything they've done so I'm rather intrigued.) AND LOTS OF KEYBOARDS. -If I Started Killing... Alex and James Seduced (hoho, that's like what Smash Hits does) and Ellen and Ben = ACE -SEDUCED :D -Rory are you playing??? If you read this? If so See See Rider :) -And maybe Todd i was a cubscout's other band with his friend, and I've forgotten their name but they don't have any music on their myspace, so I'm also intrigued for this. I'm not sure but I think it's hardcore-y, but that's a guess from guitars being in one of their pictures. Hmm. **I would like to point out that if anyone I know doesn't go in fancy dress I'm going to punch them.** Plus I would rather like witty/interesting/diy costumes please. There will be lots of partying after in Leeds, and everyone probably staying at mine like my party, (also if anyone from far away places came I could probably put you up because I'm just going to tell my parents the night before or something, and I want everyone I know to come :D, there are also lots of trains from Leeds!) although I think Todd's staying at Will's but yeah whatever! It'll all change on the night, and then not going to college the next day, 'cause we have to take Todd/probably B'ham people to the train station, goood 8). I'll make sure to remind everyone of this nearer the time. But yes, I write about really un-interesting samey things. I need to go do work on my Tshirt Customisation project, yeah, I do this for MARKS. Mwahaha. Bloody hell, that wound up long, I apologise to those who thought oh I'll read this it's relatively short.. and now she's added to it and it's taking me hours to read, pfft and it's all pointless crap aswell! That's exactly what you thought. 2 differences between the sprout and the bean

[Sunday the 6th of November at 2:32 pm] [ mood | as pie ] [ music | cyndi lauper ] ( Not sure why I'm updating, ) And, because I said I'd put these up and never did, tut: ( Aimee's 16th ) I hope I stop having a cold soon, grr. I fear it may be the curse of the entire-winter-being-ill thing. 7 differences between the sprout and the bean

[Monday the 17th of October at 5:59 pm] [ mood | sniffy sniffy ] [ music | bearsuit ] My Mum introduced the food for my tea like people just now, and I laughed inside. I have einen cold, ja? Y'know, the one that's going around, with a stupid cough aswell? Well it's fucking annoying and I wish it would just go away. Only to followed by the next cold/illness. I've done lots of 'work' today, like watching the O.C to study in depth the seams on their clothing, and making pasta and cheese just well, because. I have done work really, it just wasn't much, just printing and stuff, and finding a load of pictures for the Present Trend section of my research project and then being too scared to print them out because of all the ink it will use. And now all I want to do is watch Home & Away, so bye bye. I'll write some real stuff later. 9 differences between the sprout and the bean

[Thursday the 22nd of September at 7:56 pm] [ mood | <-- that ] [ music | one winter ] It's a looong time since I've written in here, ey? I've been meaning to for a while, but I couldn't be bothered, haha. College is AAAACE, seriously. I love my course so much, and everything's so much more relaxed and my teacher's are mint and they knew my name on the first day (teachers never know my name) and I just keep talking to everyone and on my IT induction the guy had to keep telling me to stop talking (in a nice, friendly, everyone's on equal, first name terms way, of course), and everyone on my course is nice and ace and gah I've come home every night with a massive grin on my face, feeling so happy. It's weird aswell, I'm so confident in my class, I mean when we had to present our work today I still went quite red and everything, but I mean just in class I talk to everyone and I talk really loudly for some reason, it proper scared me at first but it feels so nice not to be all shy and uncomfortable anymore that it doesn't now. Hmm, so what have I been doing? I still don't have a job, but I have a sucking up CV to go shove at people, while smiling and chatting and generally covering up my desperation for one. I'll get one soon. H&M doesn't open 'til Christmas and I can't wait that long, so I think I'll just give up on that, or maybe get a temporary job until then. I went to London last weekend and saw Múm, it was absolutely amazing. It was in the London Barbican and the stage was filled with instruments, first on was Cat Power, or maybe just the woman from Cat Power, I'm not sure, but she was so good, she kept mumbling about things and I just assumed she was on drugs but Willum told me she's an alcoholic, so I was close. Her voice was beautiful. In the interval I went to the loo and everyone was dressed so well and arty, everytime I go to London I just want to live there and this time it was scary how much I just wanted to pack my things and stay for weeks. Múm were next and they played their album, which Will bought and it's so good, they just walked around playing each other's instruments, and you could feel the bass, and I just kept squeezing Will's arm and opening my mouth and going OH MY GOD and smiling, we were all doing it, it was one of those shows that takes your breath away. I must say it was more amazing than Youthmovie (the first time I saw them aswell!) and Saul Williams at Leeds Festival, but they are a close second, I have pictures of that but not my laptop, I'll post them another time. We got up late (mostly my fault), so didn't have enough time to go to Brick Lane, but I'm DEFINITELY going next time, it will be the priority :D Tommo's flat was in Chelsea, ooer! I'm so northern and poor. There's a new club night called Grammar (the name just says it's respectable) starting at the Junction (dirty, but the music is going to be goood), S2 haha, Stu (I still stammar when saying anything to him, WHY?? I'm so gay.) said it's just Owen and his friends playing their record collections, so you know you won't be listening to shit music, it's over 18s as are all gay club nights but they'll be slack hopefully, and they need a good turn out on the first night, so yeaah they will. Everyone go! Oh yeah, I spoke to my best friend from Infants school yesterday! He's so cute and he's doing drama and he has really long hair now, but he still listens to pop music like Steps and stuff haha, and he kept saying hi to all these random people, and we were both like 'omg do you remember what we did?!' and when we used to dance to Cyndi Lauper (he was a very feminine boy) and had a go at our Mums for not letting us have sleepovers and 'we haven't spoken for SEVEN years!' etc. and then I had to go back to lesson and I was like we must catch up and stuff and he was like yeah we should have coffee! It was proper nice, then when I was walking back through the canteen to this IT thing we did a manic open mouthed wave to each other, haha, I'm so glad I finally talked to him. Errm. Yeah. I can't think of anything to write now. I'm off school officially tomorrow mwahaha. (My English interrupts my 'independent study' day on Mondays though, which is very irritating.) I'm going to cycle all the way into town, I need the bloody exercise, to buy a tool box (!) and other essential items, and maybe try and get my fringe trimmed for free. This was boring, I bet you're dissapointed now you've read it... ha ha. I'm going to sell stuff then watch telly. 4 differences between the sprout and the bean

A to C, la la la [Friday the 26th of August at 8:26 pm] [ mood | happy ] [ music | the edmund fitzgerald ] Just so I have it somewhere: History: A English/Eng Lit: AA Business Studies: BB R.E: B Textiles: B Science: CC Maths: C German: C I'm an A-C student! It was a big relief to not have to re-take anything because I was pretty worried about maths. When I saw my history mark I thought there had been some massive mix up or something because I was convinced I had a D, wtf? My mum opened (fake) champagne, haha, it was nice. Anyways, tomorrow I shall be seeing: The Pixies, 65daysofstatic, YCNI:M, Youthmovie (finally), Saul Williams (!!), Blood Brothers, DFA and lots of other cool peeps, they're the definate I MUST SEE acts though.

LOL [Tuesday the 5th of July at 3:55 pm] [ mood | it's raining ] [ music | metric ] who's this ey? Really, why am i such a loser in pictures? I should have smiled or SOMETHING. But, yes, this made me laugh quite a bit, as I wasn't aware I was on her site. the sprout and the bean

There are nooo bad worrds for the cooast todaay [Friday the 3rd of June at 8:55 am] [ mood | chipper ] [ music | rolo tomassi. FUCK ME THEY ARE TOO HOT ] What's that? It's 08.55 AM? And I've been up since 7.30, and already been to the co-op to find £50 in my bank account? Ohh-ho yes. I'm revising hardcore this morning - an hour of each science, then i dunno bumming around in Leeds for a couple of hours with Will, god I have such admirable priorities. But the morning is my most errm good work time. Yes. My vocabulary has gone to pot in this 'revision holiday'. For Laura: Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs. One of mine is the same as her last:  making up new outfits out of my wardrobe  (has to be one of the funnest ways to waste time ever)/spending hours trying to make orange tights look good with at least one item of clothing owned by me, except, y'know, general bits of crap in my wardrobe on my floor/chair/over flowing draws that do not work with ANYTHING, I hate that, and it's usually the most interesting pieces that just won't go, so you wind up buying a load more clothes to go with that one item. Dancing around on your own in your room, dancing has to be the best de-tensioner thing. At the moment I am very partial to doing this to the eighties cd Alex gave me, it is amazing, because he is amazing. We are bringing the eighties back! Because lets face it, that era was tooo good. Sitting on the internet trying to find new music that is better than everything on your iriver that you are totally bored of, at the moment I am trying to find lots of early american hardcore/early nineties american emo stuff, and it's erm not very successful. Going out. I find being cooped up in my room for a whole day, especially when for most of it I've been staring at a computer screen, I start to go slightly insane and I get all tense and it's horrible, so when I just go for a little walk, or (when I get my bike) go for bike rides or go buy food and stuff like that I feel really calm and free. Watching T.V and films make me really relaxed because you know that you don't have to try or think or anything. In this holiday I've got back into my old T.V habits, and have managed to get slightly into Big Brother 6 : / god knows how, it's just quite interesting because there's a few intelligent people in the house this year, and I've grown rather fond of Kamal, a gay male belly dancer with one of those really nice afros, because he's really clever yet very funny and bitchy. The duvet covers in the house are the same as mine, whey. I don't know who to tag so if anyone wants to do it (/waste some revision time), go ahead! Sheryl Crow is cool.  I have decided in the summer I am going to go out for breakfast a lot, like in France.  I cannot wait to leave my school, and it seems the feeling's mutual with most of the WORLD (actually, just the majority of my friends list, and erm lots of people on myspace? Eugh I have been on the internet far too much recently.) Good luck to everyone who has exams! Exams really should just die. 1 differences between the sprout and the bean

Myspace.... What does it do?..... Let us network. [Sunday the 8th of May at 9:08 pm] [ mood | throat hurts ] [ music | Lycanthropy is amazing. On repeat. ] ..... I think my Dad just called me Sweetpea, which is like ♥!, but also incredibly strange. I think he's had a drink.. or maybe he had one of those awakenings up on the moors and the countryside has finally gone to his head. He was saying "I hope that's not coffee you're making.... you'll be up all night... I hope you're not going to pull an all-nighter" and random conversation like that. Hmm. I was making ovaltine. Haha I think he's singing now. Anyway Rolo Tomassi are my new favourite band. God I went to see them last night with Will and they're so so fucking mint!! I spent £10 on merch, mostly theirs and a Whores Whores Whores cassette (!), who are bloody funny and also mint! It was a good night. Oh yeah and I started making my pea costume today, only 4 days to go and all, lol. ( Golly, we are cool ) 4 differences between the sprout and the bean

lolololol [Friday the 6th of May at 5:11 pm] [ mood | good ] [ music | postal service (woah! old!) ] Me and Aimee went to get her pictures from Tesco last night, then we had food and L came and she'd written out an e.e cummings poem for me and it was really nice. Me, Sue and George walked round the whole out-of-bounds wood today at lunch, it was so funny! It was like we were in the army or something, and we were running between trees so the P.E teachers didn't see us, but we got caught with only a bit to go and I told them honestly I just wanted to walk round the wood before I left and they let us off, they also asked us what we'd been doing because they'd seen us running around at the top haha! oops, I thought we were really sly. No-one else gets why it was so fun, but it was. The goal now is to do the whole wood before we leave. the sprout and the bean
