Don’t ask why, because I don’t know either!

See you there.

It was simply amazing! I sat on the fourth row from the front, near the aisle, and cats actually came. I patted one, well that was fun. The most famous song in the musical, Memory, was so emotional – sung by a cat, and it was so emotional! I still can’t get over the fact that it was sung LIVE. It sounded like a recording, honest.

I’m going to watch Phantom of the Opera in West End, where it was originally played, a week or so later. The tickets were expensive as hell to buy, and originally my parents thought they’d sold out – luckily, they visited another site and found that there were seats still available in the Royal Circle (Dress Circle). Has anyone (hehe, Sher!) ever been to watch POTO there? Any things to look out for? I’ve watched the film about five times now so I’m pretty familiar with the storyline. I CAN’T WAIT.

The video for 21 Guns (a song by Green Day) came out today (or yesterday, to be exact; it’s awhile past midnight now) and, to be honest, it was slightly underwhelming… I still prefer the videos on AI so much more. I love all the bullets and effects and how it portrayed the album’s two main characters (it’s a sort-of concept album, you see), but… I expected more, I suppose. I expected the walls to crash down. I expected Green Day to break everything. But uh… didn’t happen.

I just realised what a busy week I’m having…
Tue: Get books from locker w/E & N.
Wed: Go to Ocean Park with G, K, M, T and T.
Thu: Nothing!
Fri: Go to S’s house with basically everyone.
Sat: Go to B’s birthday party.
Sun: GO TO FRANCE!
But I’m looking forward to it

I’m not sure whether to be happy or sad.

I mean, great, now I can get up 6 hours later everyday and watch a shitload of movies (I’ve already watched Fight Club and hey, Farah! It’s great ), but… I would have liked to have a little warning that it was my last day of Year 9, y’know? Next year (September to be exact) marks the start of the two GCSE years (basically, important studying specifically for the examinations) and everyone’s going to have different classes. I love my class and I’m definitely going to miss having lessons only with them in it

Strangely enough, everyone was like “This feels like the last day!” on Thursday. Loads of people had brought their yearbooks to school (my school makes this awesome end-of-year publications) to get them autographed, and teachers were starting to slack… It had all the ingredients, but no final confirmation.

Going to France & England in a week – simply can’t wait!

I’m forcing myself to listen to No Promises by Shayne Ward over and over again. I hate that song, but I need to get it stuck in my head. My group’s doing that for our music performance and I need to remember the rhythm. Meanwhile, iTunes is open and it is so tempting; my ears are screaming in agony.

I woke up at 4AM on both Monday and Tuesday to do homework. It’s ’cause I spent the previous nights procrastinating and my homework ended up, uh, incomplete. It was awful, I fell asleep at around 11PM whilst watching The Godfather (which is a great movie). I need to change my schedule, lmao.

Off to do English now. I’m preparing for a debate in which the side I am on is the side I disagree with. Exciting times.

I spent the whole day yesterday walking around buying a dress, a pair of shoes, a goddam handbag. HANDBAG! WTF! I was rolling my eyes the whole day and feeling ridiculous. Then I went home and tried it on, and my parents took a freaking PICTURE. And I felt MORE ridiculous. I actually have to wear this shit out, which is… a mind blowing thought. I haven’t worn a dress for about five years or so. I am NOT USED to it, not to mention that I don’t like it at all.

Yeah yeah yeah, if I don’t like dresses, I should just not go to the party at all (it’s in the dress code. I have to). But then I want to go. So it’s all kind of my own fault, and I’m ranting for nothing. I just feel silly, that’s all. Dresses + me = big clashing noise.

I had an assessed essay due today (one that counts in our reports) and I woke up at 4AM to do it. Previously I’d only written 1.5 paragraphs. It’s assessed and I’m doing it on the day (technically) it’s due. I’m going to fail my GCSEs, anyone agree?

If WP had a mood thing like LiveJournal right now, I’d put it to unknown. I’m sad and happy, apathetic and excited. Ah well, it won’t last.

In truth, I should be ecstatic. My amazingly loyal friend (note the sarcasm), let’s call her A, stole my iPod awhile ago. And I got it back today, because she is the stupidest thief ever and let me see my iPod *rolls eyes*. Luckily I’d memorised the serial code so I just took it from her. So in truth, I should be really glad.

But then, since she’s a motherfucking liar & drama queen, she had to go tell a goddam story about how it was her cousin’s, and how she swapped it with her cousin, and oh-my-god what was she going to tell her cousin now? Plus, her cousin just had a STROKE from epilepsy (never mind that epilepsy causes seizures, not strokes), and is now in the hospital. What could she do?!?!??! EVERYONE TO THE PITYING CROWD! And that happened. Not everyone necessarily, but quite a few. And it was horrible.

So now I’ve got my amazing iPod back & a bunch of people mad at me because… I took my iPod back? This makes so sense at all but I must say, A’s dramatic skills are quite worth commending. Quite worth it indeed.

All in all, life sucks. I’m absolutely saddened & I wish for A to suffer until the end of her miserable fucking life.

I’ve just been really busy… Excuses, excuses and more excuses. Do I even care now anyway?

My life is going downhill. Then it’ll go uphill again and will be fine, I bet. But this month… not my favourite of months. Nor next month. It’s just goddam exams all over the place, reports & swimming. I hate swimming, just so you know. The pool in my school is disgusting.

I’m not in the best of moods, to be honest. It’s not PMS or anything natural like that. I’m just… a pissy person nowadays. I either overreact or don’t react at all. I’m never really listening and I don’t have the strength or motivation to come up with interesting replies.

I thought I was perhaps breaking out of horrible antisocial-ness, but upon further reflection, maybe not.

I can’t wait for the holidays. I can wait for tomorrow.

Other than that, I’m nervous as hell for Thursday. I have a Spanish and Science test on the same day, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to screw both of them up. Spanish is on a very vaguely defined topic, and I’m not even sure if it’s a real, counts-on-your-report test or not. As for Science… well, it’s on Reproduction. So, I didn’t exactly pay much attention in class. In fact, no one on my table did. So we’re all in big big trouble

Also, Religious Studies is getting more interesting with the revelation of what we’re going to be studying for Term Three. Turns out, it’s Medical Ethics! And whilst I have no intention of becoming a doctor (umm, extra Science? No thanks), the subtopics, such as Genetic Engineering, Abortion, Suicide etc. do sound pretty interesting. But, I have no idea what it has to do with religion.

Meanwhile, it’s less than three weeks till my first GCSE exam…
I’m not excited.

This world is screwed up?

Why can’t we just all live happily?

Oh right, scarce resources…

Anyway, I’m currently reading an amazing book called Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. It’s about our “gut feeling”, the kind of feeling we can’t explain. And it is so interesting. For anyone looking for a non-fiction, informative-whilst-not-too-difficult read, this is it! Plus, I got it for a discount price at HMV too. I go to HMV to buy books. I know, I’m strange…

Unfortunately, I have a hugely easy, whilst immensely frustrating essay to write. It’s for Religious Studies, which is (for what we’re studying now anyway) Philosophy, too. And you know philosophy… no right answers, no stats as proof, just theories and theories… I’m not putting anyone off studying the subject, though; it’s AMAZING! …But I’m not studying it (I chose History instead.)

I’m so bored I’ve actually resorted to playing games that come with Windows. Like Spider Solitaire. I’m super n00by at it, but who cares, it’s fun!

I don’t have anything meaningful to talk about, so I’m going to talk about what a bad idea it is for the school to make us all bring our books home (all 12 subjects. Yes.) because they needed to change lockers and end up… not changing them. Apart from acquiring back pains about 50 years early, I also lost my Tech booklet. I just found out, and I have Tech tomorrow. AND I SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THAT FREAKING DIAGRAM! And now I’m going to get B’s, C’s and shit.

…This is more like a rant, ainnit.

Anyway, today I also downloaded 21st Century Breakdown and Know Your Enemy, both by Green Day. So far both of them sound amazing (although still not matching up to the American Idiot songs, I think). I can’t wait for May 15th, which is when the album’s going to come out. Too bad it’s stuck right in between my two IGCSE exam dates. In my weakest subject (Chinese). Joy.

Apart from all that I’ve also lost my iPod (80GB), so now I have to use my amazing Nano 2G which has shitty memory (2GB). It’s quite a downgrade you see. Not that I ever (or ever will) use up that 80GB… unless I decide to go insane and put a million movies which I will never watch (at least not on the tiny iPod screen anyway) on.

And I have so much homework…

*falls asleep*
