Really? Oh good

I'm going to see if I can get through the whole lot this year. Which means I'll try to do more homework to use 'em all up. I dunno if my logic works... we'll see. I'm really excited about finding out how I cope with coursework/revision. Cos some people are great at being organised with it, and some find it impossible. Don't know what I'll be like, could be either

tbh

I lurrrve getting new pens and stuff for school - they've not yet made a rule which bans the use of novelty pens I may take in my pretend quill tomorrow and use it in chemistry! I think I might get sent out actually....

Chronotherapy is not very much fun

Ooo, shopping for new pens, now there's an idea to keep me occupied *heads to paperchase/staples/ryman/etc websites for late night window shopping *

It's great isn't it!!!! I'm so glad it's not just me... all my school friends still think I'm bonkers though

I even head to the stationary aisle in Sainsburys, to look at all the smooth, silky writing gel pens. And it's other stationary too, like... post-it notes, or diaries, or tipex. Aaaaaahhh paperchase! I went there yesterday, and mum forbode me to buy anything. She obviously saw my pen-covered-bed. I persuaded her to buy me a clear plastic zipper folder though, because I always carry around a plastic wallet from inside a ringbinger, and put all my loose bits of paper in. But that always breaks, so I needed something more sturdy

I've figured out that it makes me feel like I'm organised, when I'm really not.



That's like sleep patterns, isn't it? Something to do with Circadian rhythm or something, isn't it? Someone did a presentation about it at school once.

Youhave just reminded me that I need a pack of blue balloint pens. A decent set is like £4.50 these days. such a rip off!

Someone said the weirdest thing today...it was really bizzarre! We were in our form room at tuck and I was eating a massive bit of birthday cake, and then this girl (who is basically the form cow) said, I quote: "Oh Camille you know the only reason you got Head Girl was because all the teachers think you're anorexic, so they thought it would give you a confidence boost!" I was so shocked ,but then I said: "Right, well if that's the way you feel, I'm going to go and enjoy my cake elsewhere!" And the strangest part is...I'm not even that skinny! We were all horrified by what she said, because there was a girl in our form last year who had to go to a rehabilitation clinic for an eating disorder...and it was awful for her!

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,

It's a star...you said as much in the first line!....

But not all 'stars' are actually stars. Some are planets.

*tries to jam the above words into the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star*

Now I wll thinking of twinkle, twinkle all night!

Surely it means "I know you are a star but what are you like and what are you made of and what do you do all day I wonder"?

Yep, it probably does.

Humour me, it's my (poor) sense of humour at work here!

She's probably just jealous

I'm sure you'll be a great head girl, go and get her expelled or something. Nobody likes cows, they moo too much

Boys are... nice

It's so weird. At primary school you so much as smile at a boy, and there's a chorus of "OMG!!!!!!!" then for days, weeks, months afterwards it's "You FANCY him!!!!" So after that I've sort of avoided them, because in my mind it has been boy= boyfriend, which doesn't interest me just yet.

Now at drama, girls are friends with boys. Hmmmm, strange. I still see boys from my primary school strutting around town in trackies and stupid hats, going "Awwwwwwight" then spitting at you. Nice, eh? So boys have always been classed as jerks by me, really. At drama, they've started to actually talk to me, and are there as a friend option, it's so wwweeiiirdddd. The girls are mostly catty, and laugh, and patronise, and talk to you and ask you questions, then show you that they care zilch about you because the next week they ask the very same questions. But the boys don't seem to do things to be spiteful, if they don't want to talk to you, they are polite, but generally ignore you. If they do, they listen, and manage to actually retain information.

I don't know. It's doing my head in.

Wow. That is a really wierd school you go to, because I don't exactly know what you're talking about... actually i could depending on your age.

You've heard of replacement bus services for trains...well, on the Jubilee line this Sunday, there will be a replacement boat service...

You'll notice that at about 17ish they begin to mature. Girls apparently mature quicker, hence most girls going for older guys. (some of us are exceptions... )

I talk to more males than females these days because I feel safer telling them things - they don't go off and analyse everything, generally - they just take what you say at face value... I'm generalising here, but it seems to be true.

Really? I haven't noticed that yet...

Quite a few of my friends are boys, but yes, I also get people saying 'You fancy him!' whenever I talk to or smile at one of them. It's really annoying.

I've found the same about girls and boys. I mean, girls are horrible by acting faux-nice (i.e. saying 'Oh I think your new bag is lovely' when their tone of voice and facial expression imply the exact opposite. Boys, yes, are generally polite and seem interested when they talk to you.

I'm freezing!

Doesn't seem all that long ago it was quite summery...

Apparently next week may see a return to sunny, warm conditions here...

I've a concert on Sunday - outdoors and they keep changing the forcast.

All your sundances/prayers etc worked last time. can we try again?????

Best sun dance I can do with the smilies

I'm in warm pyjamas, in a dressing gown and under a dressing gown and a duvet...how can I be cold?!

It's meant to be a pretty reasonable weekend down here : hopefully that's the case up your way too...

Dr BM diagnoses either extreme tiredness or imminent disease. Dose yourself with a nice, hot cup of cocoa, and go to sleep.

Isn't Whoopie Goldberg funny in Ghost????

I love the bit where she "signs the wrong name"

Me too. If it can't be sunny I hope it's very obviously raining in the morning so it's rained off before I go out, as opposed to the last time when we managed about a set's worth of material amid drizzle and high winds before having to give up - the vocalists, bass, guitar and piano are all miked up to a P.A so we really can't soldier on in the rain.

I know what you mean!!

Another random comment - Where's Solari today he doesn't even feature in the top ten posters Maybe he's been bowled over by the clarinet

Good question. He gets a text if I don't see him here tomorrow...

i shouldnt have had all that wine I drank earlier. I've been for a night on the town with the gals!

Sophie won Big Brother - a victory for dumb blondes!

Not ALL blondes are dumb..

ditto but i only had two glasses But i'd not really eaten enough what with the fun and games my son's new bed brought with it..... see scream thread for an elaboration

Edit: I do mean last night not this am

This is the true Mr. Strong.



This isn't.

Oh, but squares are very weak shapes barry!

I bet that triangular thing couldn't carry a barn full of water several metres across a field to put a fire out like the real square Mr. Strong could

The best way to react to that kind of comment if it's annoying you is to turn round and say something along the lines of 'Yes, he is gorgeous, isn't he, didn't I tell you we're going out!' in a sarcastic voice and generally rise above other people's immaturity.

I've just had the first really enjoyable meal since... well I can't remember when I last enjoyed a meal so much. It's not that it was anything very special, but for once it was *properly salted*, like cooked food used to be before all the anti-salt propaganda. I'd forgotten how good salted food tasted

I went off the anti-salt lobby anyway when the nurse at my doctor's surgery told me to cut down on salt. I told her that I didn't eat much salt because I never put it on cooked food at the table, don't eat crisps or other highly salted foods (and yes I know there's "hidden" salt in food), but she kept repeating the mantra, even though she didn't have a clue how much salt I used or what my diet was like.

Let's hear it for salt

Lol, good idea! But some people who say that (no necessarily my friends) don't get sarcasm for some random reason. So it might do more harm than good... rumours spread fast around our school...

I've been drawn into watching the X Factor...

I always used to say "oh yes, we're eloping on Saturday! Will you be our witness?" Then you can avoid the inevitable accusations of "lyyyying" from those who are a few crisps short of a packet. The funny thing is, while they seem to want you to be madly in love with your best mates as long as that embarrasses you, most people get rather upset if you go along with it all, or don't bother to contradict them.

Apparently, in year 8 i was dating two girls!
I only found this out a few weeks ago.
I think they mean my two best friends....

I'm off to bed. Back to school on Monday. Still haven't finished my IT coursework, or my geography homework. And I haven't sorted out my folders either.

Tomorrow we're going shoe shopping, I've got a pair we're taking back because they don't fit properly, and I have a standby pair of black pumps, just in case.

I've been so bad, and am going to pay the price tomorrow. Dear, dear, dear, I'm so unorganised

Still no Solari on here????? Hope he's having a really nice wekend and is not having some kind of crisis. He's not been of this Forum since he joined...... so it's a bit odd he's so quiet....

Have just left him a text...will let the forum know...

He told me that he's to busy to get on here at the mo, as its too distracting.

Yep, that was the gist of the text I've just received. He says hello to everyone

Salt brings out the flavour during cooking - it's not at all the same added at the table. People are always telling me that I can add salt, but it can't be taken out; however, that's not really how it works!

I've had quite a busy summer cooking-wise, so my very kind, unemployed son offered to cook for us three days in a row this week to give me a rest. He cooks very well, but won't add salt, and I've missed it quite a lot even if it is supposedly better for my health.
