YES YES YES YES

school is finished! for two giantic weeks!

last night it was my school's 'music for spring' concert. It was amazing. Seriously.

And I'm not just saying that because I'm in the choir & orchestra. You should hear some of the upper 6ths. I can't even describe it... I know I'm going to sound all soppy here (you may want to leave) but their voices and instrumental talents are so perfect and insprational. I am definitely not exaggerating when I say watch this space.

A guy in my school just got his distinction in grade 8 piano. If you know about that sort of thing you know it is a huge deal.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I feel I'm really a part of my school more than the school of music (where I get my lessons and am in another orchestra), but I felt so proud to be part of such an incredible school that has such a talented music department. I know that being interested in music opens a lot of oppurtunities for me. 

I'm getting really cheesy.

You may have noticed that I'm more of a musical person than a sports one. lol. I'm really a manic dancing/walking to school/yoga poses kinda gal on the exercise front.

Anyhow, because I'm so happy to be part of the music department, I ordered a hoodie with the school badge on  it, my initials, and I (heart) MUSIC one the back =]

There's a new english teacher in. Oh. My. God. She is Ms. Meanie Meanie Mean Mean.

She's replacing a teacher who we have right now for the Employabilty section of LLW (learning for life and work). She's just so horrible. You'd think that on your first week at a new job, you would try to be nice to the people you're working with. 

I'd already decided my present career choices (these are v.prone to changing!)

- Photographer

- Interior Designer

- Music Journalist

- Authour

there were a few more but I've forgotten them! lol!

I can hear incredibly loud birds squawking outside. They're coming back for Spring! Yaay! Spring has SPRUNG!

Oh - I forgot to say! I might be going on my school's ski trip next year! I've put my name down so hopefully I get in! WOOO!

I feel a little bad, though. It's £790 to cover everything and £100 deposit. I'm saving up and hopefully will be able to pay for half with birthday/christmas money. But that'll only come after my bday in October and Christmas in December.. but it's in March next year so I should be OK!

But we're going to Spain this easter and maybe even Calafornia this summer. Oh God I feel so awful. Maybe I shouldn't go.. My mum really wants me to though because she's been skiing a lot with her friends when she was a teenager and she keeps saying it was so much fun and it's a brilliant opportunity.

I just typed that entire paragraph without looking at the keyboard.

You know her hipster heroine - Lola Love??

They have released fiction books!!!

Think Pink, Beauty*Licious, Viva la Diva and It's a Girl Thing should all be named 'the official teen/tween girl's handbook/s', but everyone loves a good story, so I'd like to introduce...

Hey hey..

It's been a whole 5 days since I posted! I haven't been on the computer in so long! What's happening to me?

On Monday I downloaded the Twilight movie soundtrack. I know it came out months ago - but I LOVE IT! Seriously!!! I listen to it 24/7. I nearly got caught listening to it in class.. hehehe. I'd say what my faves are - but I love all of them. 

More Twilight biz (yes, I'm obsessed with Twilight. Deal with it!!!) I finished Breaking Dawn! Omygosh... it was increds. Best book in the series. I cried SO MUCH when I finished it, just because it actually said 'the end'. Ladees, I bawled my eyes out. But it was like 11pm so I was trying to muffle my sobs and then I started hiccuping... and then I realised how funny that sounded and I was under the covers laughing and hiccuping and crying at the same time. =)

Does anyone know if Stephenie Meyer is going to continue writing Midnight Sun? I read on her website she was really disappointed it was the first 12 chapters were leaked (well, who wouldn't be?!?!?) and she was going to get on with other writing projects. So is that it? Is she abandoning it? I haven't read the chapters that were leaked, (she posted them on her site but she said it was only a draft and she'd rather fans didn't read it), so I didn't. I was going to wait until the book was released over here. But if it's not going to come out.. I might as well. Edward's point of view sounds like such a great idea, I loved in Breaking Dawn when it went from Bella to Jacob to Bella again.

I love Stephenie Meyer. She is such an amazing author... I'm going to buy her book The Host. 

What else happened today... I went to the orthodontist. I'm getting my braces off next week! Woohoo!!

I'm just out of the bath (I have chill-time every Friday, lol. Bubble bath, mag and hot chocolate. Bliss...) but I was nearly blinded in my right eye. BLINDED. I got shampoo in it, and it wasn't just a bit that you can blink out, I was salvaging my eyeball for 20 minutes. Whenever I finally opened it, it sort of closed by itself. I truly thought my sight had been lost.

Drama queen? Me?

It's my school's Open Day tomorrow. Oh, joy. Open day is where P7s come to look at the big schools. I'm working in art, which should be OK. I get to work on my clay model, smile and chat to the primary school kids and their parents (so much fun!!!) and muck about with my friends at break. It starts at 9.30 on Saturday. Nine thirty! you may gasp. Yes, it's early, but I'm missing orchestra which starts at 9am on Saturdays. I play the violin, by the way. It's, well.. boring. Trying to convince dear mother to let me get a drum kit or a guitar amplifier etc. I'll have to keep practicing Guitar Hero in the meantime.

Laters... ;)

Have you ever been, like, really inspired? And really admire someone? 

Lisa Clark.

Wow. What a girl.

If you haven't read Think Pink, Beauty*Licious, It's a Girl Thing or Viva la Diva, get out from under that rock and go make your life a bubble of pink smiles.

If you're feeling the credit crunch, but want to be inspired by Lisa and her fiesty character Lola Love, check out www.lolasland.com and www.pink-world.co.uk

Lisa is so amazing. Before reading Think Pink I look in the mirror and only saw what I didn't love about me.

But after Think Pink, I was like, why did I waste time hating myself? All those opportunites I've missed, because I wasn't confident enough.

Well woo-hoo-hoo I am now a ray of sparkley fab-ness!!!

Seers (seriously) girls, check her out.
