Football.

I went to the match against Walton & Hersham (RLPD) with M today. I know...I must be mad. It was about -100000C. I still can't properly feel my toes...

AFC won though. =D 2-1

And guess who we saw.....?!?!? You'll never guess. (Unless M already phoned you about it...).

PAUL SMITH. Yes, the ex-football coach who is currently in Bournemouth University. He was home for Christmas, and so he was also at the Boxing Day game.

M nearly had an asthma attack when she saw him... and she didnt have her inhaler so I was a bit worried.

We also saw Wes - he was playing, and Niall who didnt seem to be doing anything worthwhile. He started out in his football kit, which was a bit odd since he wasn't playing, and then we saw him again 20mins later in a suit! He was wearing a black shirt, with a massive white tie.
I always think its wierd that the only people who turn up to watch a football match in a suit are the players who aren't in the match. If you ever see someone dressed smartly at a game, you can be sure that he's either a player, or an accountant with no life.

After we saw Paul was there, M spent the rest of the game not looking at the pitch, but at the stand, trying to see where Paul was sitting. At the same time she was going through all these different plans (yes...more of her 'plans'...) of how we could casually start a conversation with him.
At the end of the match, she dragged me into the bar coz we knew he'd be in there as he's such an alkie... We found him, and then spent ages standing behind this group of beer drinking lads while she totally flipped, going on about how cute he was, and how he'd cut his hair, and how she remembered his cool trainers, and whether we should walk past him and see if he reacted or go up and actually start a conversation, and she kept on asking if her hat looked stupid.
He was sitting with some mates drinking beer (Stella. According to M, its his favourite. She once forced me to share a pint of Stella in his honour on his birthday). I thought he might not want us walking up to him, especially since he was with his mates, but he was really nice about it. He remembered both of us, and he chatted for a while. We told him about the Gay (Gaelic) Football competition we had to do where we lost every game we played. I was on the team and I still dont know all the rules...Anyway, I only went to 2 training sessions, and I spent most of the 1st one laughing about how stupid the game is.
He also told us about how he's getting on at Uni. He was really friendly, and I didn't think he would be that nice to us. When we finally left, M kept saying "See?! I told you he'd be nice! I told you he'd remember us!"
OK....so she was right this time. But all those hours of therapy I've given her in Maths have been wasted. He's come back after 7 months, and she's fallen right back in love with him. She will be going on about this for months...

We decided Richard Butler is hotter than we thought...he plays forward.

He's a really good player as well.

Also, the other teams Goalie is quite cute. He's called Ricky Perks. But I looked for a photo of him, and he doesn't look so cute in it... So I'll leave it up to your imaginations to guess what he looks like. DO NOT GOOGLE HIM!!!

Christmas Photos!

Here are some photos that I've taken around the house. Apart from Harrods, I havent put any proper photos on here in ages... only pics from the web.

So here goes:




Heres a photo of our Christmas Tree.

Yeah, I know it's not a traditional looking Christmas Tree, but it's normally outside our front door, se we thought it would be easier to just bring it in than to go and get a christmas tree thats been chopped down, so it will eventually die and drop pine stuff all over the floor.
Plus, since we put it up in November, it would probably have been dead by Christmas... Like what happened a few years ago when we put up our tree early, and it was just a dead branch by Christmas Day! haha

I accidently cut the angels head off in the photo... It does have a head though.







Here's a photo of the little Christmas Tree I put up in my room.

Sorry about the mess on the desk....

(Note the fairy/angel wings... bottom right. I'll be wearing those this Christmas!!! =D )














Heres a close up of the 'angel' on the top! I didn't have one, so I had to improvise...

(In the top right corner you can see pics of Avril Lavigne and Evan Taubenfeld! =D =D =D Thats just a side note... they don't have much to do with Christmas.)

Holidays!!! =D

I know I haven't written in ages, and I feel bad, but I really have been busy...

I had my GCSE Mock exams last week... They went OK. I'd like to use it as an excuse for not blogging, but really, I spent more time sleeping than studying.
I'm starting to get results back now, and I can't complain - except for Biology. I only got an A. And it was just 4 marks below an A*. And she's a bit ditzy sometimes, so she does make mistakes marking...
Anyway... I'll get over it.

I improved in maths! So now I'm getting a B on the Higher Tier paper!!!!! (I know....I'm as surprised as you are!!! Although I'll never understand how Emma always manages to get exactly 2% more than me...) So who knows, maybe I will get an A in the real one. (....and I thought the predicted grade was WAAAY out! lol) We only got the non-calculator one back so far, but I think the calculator one was better. So I should keep my B when the other paper is added on.

French also went well. I got A* overall, and I even managed to get 100% on the reading exam! =D So I'm full of warm fuzzy feelings towards the French at the moment. Long may it last...

In English I got A* for both of them. Thats cool, coz my predicted grade is A/A* so I dnt have to improve!

Ummmmmm................ I think thats all we have back so far.

Oh. And Health and Social Care. 91% = A*. Wow. Big shocker there. Didn't see that one coming... (Sarcasm is hard when you're typing - but that was sarcasm!)

Well. We're coming up to Christmas!!! Only 3 days to go!!! But we've already started opening presents!!! Theres still plenty left for Christmas though!

I finally finished all my important Christmas shopping. It doesn't matter if I don't get round to finishing the rest of the shopping til New Year, coz I won't see most of the people til then anyway! lol

Malikah is trying to get me to go to watch AFC play on boxing day, coz Paul's back - and it will be his first match in about 6 months!!! So there's an opportunity to see Paul, Wes, Sammy and Niall. I could do without seeing Niall! Malikah still hasn't completely forgiven me for *accidently* kicking him when he fell over in a tackle a few weeks ago... Anyway, I dunno if I'll go to the match. It will be freezing cold, and I'll probably still be trying to digest all the food I'll eat on Christmas Day.






Last weekend I went to London with Emu, Phelan, Wilde and Tanya. It was really funny. We were meeting at Waterloo, and I got the train there with Emu. I nearly got us lost, but we made it there in the end...
We wondered around London ALL DAY mainly around Oxford Street, which was really busy even though its been padestrianised for christmas to try and make it less crowded. (The photo of a street is in fact Oxford Street.) We then went to Harrods to see the lights and stuff. BIG mistake. It was packed. We should've guessed... It was the Saturday before Christmas! We got lost in there, and then spent ages squeezing through people trying to get out. Its huge, so we got a bit desperate for fresh air, but we made it out eventually. (Btw, the photo where the sky is still light was taken before we went in. The photo where its really dark was taken when we finally got back out. See how long we were in there!). Then we went to the first underground we saw (Right outside Harrods! How handy! You can even see the Underground sign in the photos.) and got on the first train we saw. It was also REALLY crowded. We thought it was about to leave, so we squished into the first carriage. I was a bit worried that we might get shut in the doors, but then morepeople squashed in behind us! Finally the doors closed and the train started moving, but by this time we were pretty tight - bodies pressed together. We decided that if we all started moshing in time with eachother, we might de-rail the train.
When I started looking around, I got a bit panicked. Im not normally that claustraphobic, but when you're in a really crowded carriage, in a narrow tunnel underground where its really dark..... =S
We decided to get off at the next stop, and then got the train back to wimbledon. We had to change trains there to get back home.
It was a great day, but we'd done so much that I went to bed at about 9:30! I was SO tired!!!

Uhhh....I've run out of things to say now. Except that I'm gonna try and blog more often! It can be my New Years Resolution!!!
I'm gonna go and watch First Daughter now! =D
Looks like a very promising Chick Flick.

Btw, I went to see Narnia the day it came out!!! =D Its really cool. Definitely worth watching! I thought it was gonna be a bit old fashioned, but its really not!!! And the beavers are so funny! hahaha. I ate so many M&Ms that night...
Then the day after, I went round Sarah's house. Nicky went too, and we watched 10 Things I hate about you. =D
Girls Night In.
So much fun summed up in 3 words.

Anyway.
I really do have to go now.
I haven't written in ages, but now I can't stop!
Well. I am.
I'm stopping now.
Stop.
STOP.

Monday......

I had no school today, but it was not a good day.

I stayed in bed till about 10:30, when I woke up coz I'd had a dream that one of my friends had been stabbed in the stomach and I was sticking his knife wound closed with steri-strips in the back of a transit van. Coz I have normal dreams like that...

Anyway, I rolled over and put the radio on (Whoever invented remote controls should be knighted - they've done more for society than Dell Boy and he got knighted. He is funny though...) and heard about people being killed on the news. Why don't they ever say nice things on the news? Especially in the morning when you have to decide whether or not you'll get out of bed. If for once they said, "...and today, the biggest ever rainbow was seen off the coast of Greenland" it would make me want to get up. Telling us how many people have been killed in different parts of London the night before will just give us an even bigger reason to stay in bed - If I go out, I could be the next victim!

Then Josh came in and said, "How can you sleep for this long? Don't you get hungry?!". Erm....NO!!! And if it wasn't for that stupid knife wound/transit van dream, I'd have stayed asleep....

Anyway, I got up eventually, and went downstairs. My mum had gone to her pottery class, so I sat and stared blankly at various inanimate objects for a while and then checked my e-mail. Then my mum came back at 12:30 and we had lunch.

Then she said I should get dressed and do something. I said there was nothing to do. She said, "You've got your Mock exams next week. Shouldn't you start revising?" I said, "Actually, I have some urgent Christmas shopping to do!"

So, 10 minutes later, I was standing in a freezing bus stop breathing other peoples smoke..... (I did get dressed. I wasn't going to specify, but I thought I'd better. Some of you have pretty wierd ideas about me...)

I found a birthday present for my Dad, and I looked for a Christmas present for my Mum but couldn't find anything... I got blur: the best of.
Blur are classic. British Rock. Our Heritage. And they've been around longer than I have!





Heres a picture of blur. If you're really observant, you'll see that its not a photo. The one with the emo hair isn't that attractive in real life...

The CD has Song 2 on it!!! =D

I have nothing very interesting to say about the weekend.

It was very emotional though. I don't know whats wrong with me. I cry at nothing.

I think it's the Nytol... Maybe my body will get used to it. If it doesnt, Im gonna stop taking it, coz I'm fed up with crying all the time!
