Paramore were AMAZING :-)

seriously! they were the best live band I have EVER seen... was screaming and jumping up and down the whole night with Hannah! woooot.

we got back at like 2am coz we had to drive back from dublin.. crashed in the car.. then conked out as soon as we got back to my house!

but really if you like paramore & get the chance to see them, GO.

that is all.

Hello :))

Hello! :)

happy birthday blog!

ALSO it is exactly three weeks until I am fourteen. Can't wait!

AND WHAT'S MORE I'm going to see Paramore (my fave band!) in December in Dublin!

AND WHAT'S MORE it's a staff day the day New Moon comes out!

OOOH and then it's nearly Christmas!


things are looking up.

aah I just cut my lip. and I have a cold.

MY LIFE SUCKS.

*teehee*, loadsa love :)

hola ;)

Kind of abandoned the old blog over the past few days - sozzers! School is quite time consuming unfortunately!

<< listening to the song 'Left my Heart in Tokyo', hence the title. Also Pixie Lott's 'Boys and Girls' :) I'm in a very poppy mood today! I've suddenly become obsessed with the Jonas Brothers too!!! lol!

Nothing much is new... nothing show-stopping or mind-blowing going on... although I worked out today it is 5 weeks and 6 days til I'm 14! Starting to plan the party already!! Hahaha

I want to have a boy-girl party at my house but not so sure how well that'll go down with the folks. Anyone have any party ideas?

toodles! xoxoxxo

OK - here's the plan to get out of sports day.

1. Ask straight out.

Done - it didn't work.

2. Bribe

I told our classroom assistant that I'd give her 3 pieces of chewing gum if she could mark my name off the 100m sprint.

She's 'tried' apparently but 'can't do it'.

3. Beg

Please please please x100

This is the phase I'm on.

4. Threaten

I don't want to have to go to this but, if I have to, I will stab her with a compass.

5. Just don't show up

I think this is the one most likely to work... I'm going to run away and hide behind a bush until the running is over...

Anymore suggestions? Personally I think it's foolproof.

Oh!! I just thought of a new idea!! If I tell my form tutor I don't believe in the metic system and am strongly opposed to running 100 metres he may have to give in..

Soo, I'm enjoying this lovely Friday evening, browsing through the Urban Outfitters sale with the windows wide open, blogging about my life, trying to avoid studying.

Heylo

Blog makeover?

Do you like it?

I thought of the name in English. We're doing advertising, and we have to think of a company name, product and make an ad. I'm doing kooky jewellery, coz I do actually make it. Go to labels at the bottom and click 'make your own...' to have a look at some pics of the jewellery I've made.

I don't like the way all the little things are at the very bottom. But maybe that's just my computer? Please tell me if it comes up like that for you!!

Anyhow.. my friend and I were trying to think up company names. For a joke I said 'Rainbow Spit' but then I thought 'Rainbow Juice' and it's pretty good, I think! So I used it has my new blog name!!

Funny how when I was thinking of a new blog name I got nothing, but when I forgot about it I got one.

Wanna hear something WEIRD that happened to me yesterday??

I knew you would.

When I got home from school yesterday, there was this big box package addressed to me. I hadn't ordered anything so I thought it might be a (very) early or (very) late birthday present from one of my America-dwelling relatives.

Soo I waited til my mum got home in case it was a prezzie and I wasn't supposed to open it. But she hadn't heard anything.. so we opened it and inside was this Rowenta Elite (models) hairdryer and rotating hairbrush that dries your hair and gives you beach babe waves at the same time :)

SHOCK! HORROR!! My extremely trusting mother accused me of using her credit card to buy it. I hadn't - obvs - and she didn't really believe it either but really it was the only possible explanation. Besides - why would I order a curl-making hairbrush? I have curly hair. I would have bought ghds ;)

Anyway, there was no sender information on it at all. It said 'marketing sample request' on the side of the box, but it was all free etc.

Last night I did a quick amazon search. OMG. Tje hairbrush is £50. And the hairdryer is around £30.

£80 worth of hair stuff - sent to me for free?!!

I told my dad this morning and he went all solicitor on me and told me to email the company who shipped it over to me.

Sooo I have.

But still. It's weird.

I hope I get to keep it! I feel like a celeb who gets freebies.

hello ;)

soo.. on Friday I downloaded Lady GaGa's album - The Fame.

At first I was like.. 'Urrgh, this is chavvy rubbish, what did I just buy?' but once I heard the whole album I really got into it.

translation - I jumped on my bed and danced around like a mad raver.

If you've been reading my humble little blog for sometime, you'll kinda have got the picture that Lady GaGa is not something I would normally listen to..

But honestly I like all genres of music..! :D

If you go to 'artists' on my iPod you'll find Katy Perry and Linkin Park and Taylor Swift and Muse.

soo..there.

On Saturday I used my bliss discounts (hooray for teen mags) and got 15% off the benefit face-brightening primer - I was in Debenhams a few weeks ago and one of the make-up artists used this on me and I loved it, looks v. au natural! - and 20& off a necklace at elsiebelle.

Aaah! HE exam tomorrow. We're having it before exam week because..well I don't know actually.

have a lovely day :)

Heylo ;)

Good news - passed my grade 4 violin! Just made it by the skin of my teeth, I got 100 and that's the minimum pass score!

Just I predicted. Look back through my posts and it says that I think I'll just pass... freaky..!

After orchestra this morning (dull) I went into town with my friends. It's our friend's bday on sunday, so me and the gang/posse/group/whatever, each brought in £10 and put it all together to get her loadsa stuff. We bought her a big oversized handbag and filled it with make-up, jewellery, hair stuff, clothes etc. Then when one of our gang/posse/group/whatever left to go to a piano lesson, we went and did the same for her 'coz it's her bday this friday.

woop woop! so good day.

and next weekend is birthday party weekend! Lucky it's may day this monday!

lots of looove

Hello!

A few days ago I got the soundtrack to the movie The Boat That Rocked. Haven't seen the movie - it's a 15, :'( - but the soundtrack is awesome.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about buying it, 'coz it's all classic 60s/70s rock 'n' roll, and what not. I'm more of a modern-indie-rock-pop-type'a gal, myself, but I really love it.

36 songs for £9.99! Or around $20.. I don't know the exchange rate :P

Anyhow, it's full of timeless classics.

My faves are All Day and All of The Night - The Kinks

Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys

Elenore - The Turtles

Judy in Disguise (With Glasses) - John Fred & His Playboy Band

Dancing In The Street - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

Crimson & Clover - Tommy James & The Shondells

The Letter - The Box Tops

Silence Is Golden - The Tremeloes

Friday On My Mind - Easybeats

My Generation - The Who

I Feel Free - Cream

Cleo's Mood - Jr.Walker & The All-Stars

The Happening - The Supremes

98.6 - The Bystanders

Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks

You Don't Have to Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield (;P)

Let's Dance - David Bowie

So, if you're contemplating buying/downloading it, I say hell yeah.

xoxo

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.

EVERYONE KNOOOOWS....

Yes, well. Ahem.

My bro is in his last year of primary school and the Y7s always do a play. So he's preparing an audition piece =)

He's not actually singing that song, he's doing Consider Yourself. Oh no, I'm off again..

CONSIDER YOURSELF
AT HOME!
CONSIDER YOURSELF
ONE OF THE FAMILY!!!

Adding Oliver! to my list of fave musicals. I think I'll put it behind Grease but in front of Hairspray. 

Mamma Mia! is still 1st :)

And I watched Funny Face yesterday. 3rrrrd.

OK, back to the point. He has to do an acting piece, so he and his friend are doing a bit from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And then Consider Yourself.

Mother's Day today :)

I'm skint so I made buns. My brother got her an IPOD. And my sis got her a basket that's got lotsa chocolate in it. 

Both of my siblings are younger than me!! I hate being broke. But those jeans were worth it.

I make no apologies for the french(ish) title.

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I'm practising really hard for my violin grade 4. It's next Saturday (eep) and I'm still a bit unsure of those pesky scales. 

Well, Happy Friday!

Lovely and sunny here in Belfast, N.I. First day of spring today! 

And it's only 11 school days til I'm off for Easter hols. I'm going to Spain ;)

Maybe I should have made that title spanish?

Hola, mi poco blogger amigas. 

Have a fabby weekend!

Taylor Swift's album - Fearless - is amazing!

Seriously. It's the shizz. 

She said she would get a heart tattoo on her foot if it went double platinum. It's gone triple platinum.

I wonder if she'll get it! I don't want to get a tattoo - I'm too scared of the PAIN!!

Happy Lazy Sunday :)

Yesterday, (Friday the 13th - AGAIN), was Red Nose Day in the UK. A.K.A Comic Relief! Woop!

Comic Relief is a charity that fights against malaria in Africa, and helps out young carers,  runaways etc in the UK, too.

It's pretty awesome.

Anyhow, I wore a red nose to school yesterday, but our form tutor was annoyed with our class because some peeps  messed around in History on Thursday, and our history teacher came to registration in the morning and complained :( He made us write an essay in form period on 'why respect is important'. Mine was really deep. I said, 'Together, with respect, (school), the city, the country, the world, will be a better place.'

Oh yeah... Anyhow.

He made anyone with a red nose take them off. It's lucky my hair covered the red heart drawn on my cheek with lip-liner :P

The TV is great for Comic Relief. I watched the doc of the celebs climbing up Mount Kilamanjaro, it was so good. They raised so much money. 

And then there was Comic Relief Does The Apprentice, the Mamma Mia spoof (that was hilarious), the Ricky Gervais thing... and of course the videos showing the effects of malaria. Those videos were so sad, and a bit distressing too. I mean, who likes to see babies die? I sent the text message that donates a fiver, buys a mosquito net, and saves a life pretty much. Then my family called in and gave £50 which gives emergency treatment to 40 kids with malaria.

One child dies every 30 seconds from malaria. That's one million every year, and it's a preventable cause!! 

To anyone who did see it - did you see the video of the teacher who asked her class to put up their hands if they knew someone who died from malaria? The whole class had their hands up. I was in tears the whole time. 

But, omygosh, you will never believe how much money the raised!!!

OVER £57,000,000! 57 MILLION POUNDS!!!!!!!!

That will help so much. 

What else. It's my school's ski trip. I really wish I'd gone! I was allowed to!! I didn't want to at the time, but I do now! They're away to Austria.

Downloading some music... yesterday and today iTunes are donating 20p from the 79p a song costs in the UK top 40. I bought a few, Right Round, I'm Yours, Broken Strings... and I just bought Taylor Swift's album :)

Feels good to help the world.

lots of love

Officially, my fave quote. From the song 'I Was Broken' by the amazing Rob Pattinson! Love him so much, he's such a fab actor. And he's completely gorge too!! <3

'Whatever makes you blind, must make you strong.'

Isn't that so nice? 

I've subscribed to the Patty Cast - the ultimate Rob Pattinson podcast. So funny!

Just giving you an update! xD

I'm listening to.. The PattyCast - Episode 8. Alright, so it's not a song. Whatevaah!

Kate

Oh yeaah.

Off school for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Yesss!!!

My concert last night. Was good, but I'm in the string orchestra, and the rest of the orchestras all sound way cooler than us, because they have brass and woodwind.

The Youth Chorale sang La Bamba. Was 'mazin! I'm listening to it now. The Los Lobos version, obvs!

School was, you know, school. We got cake in Maths, though, because it was Hammy's birthday. (Hammy is Mr.Hamilton, my maths teacher, btw). Yummo. 

I'm going shopping on Friday..woop woop. And it's SERIOUS shopping too. I'm going outfit buying with two of my friends, we're starting at 12pm sharp and won't be finished 'til around 5 I'd say. I've made a list of things to buy!! I've never done that before!! 

Just YouTube-ing. 

I already said what I was listening to..hehe. In case you forgot it's La Bamba by Los Lobos. ;)
