Ojamas

Awesome Xmas here in Philly, I now have a'tofu is your friend' shirt, green ipod nano, new lens, out board flash, some...stuff AND OJAMAS. The official Barack Obama pj's.

They did only come today, but y'know. I just danced down the road (it was empty) wearing them, pink slippers and John's red santa cowboy hat and waving a giant candy cane. It was awesome. Mark videoed it =) Geez I can't spell...huh.

I went riding. Western style! Awesome, on the way back me and El stopped at the Peter Wentz Farmstead for lunch. Well we stayed in the parking lot then wandered to find some 'restrooms' so y'know.

So my day has been pretty awesome. Vegan oreos & vegan carrot (parsnip actually...) cake = <3

xo!

Merry Xmas!

Whoop! Merry Xmas from Philly! Enjoy and everything...

No plans as of yet for today. I have new converse. They're awesome! Mark came last night, Sarah got to Wisconsin and so isn't here with us in Frillydelphea. New spelling, awesome huh?

Probably go for a walk someplace with Pretzel or something. Tomorrow I'm hopefully going Western riding. I've been twice before, those saddles are so darn comfy! I'm watching Willow (the evil but nice if you feed her) kitty and listening to NPR (national public radio, well we're listening to WHYY)

Have a good one guys =)

Christmas Eve Already? Geez...

This year has come as fast as a duck being sexually abused by a chicken. Very fast.

Its 7:20 am, I've had my cardboard breakfast with yummy vanilla soya milk and I'm waiting for everyone else to get their butts outta bed. I slept all last night, until 6:30 anyway. Which is pretty good really. I did go to bed at 10:30 which felt like 3:30am. And I'm not a morning person.

Before beddy time we made cookies. its really strange making cookies at 10, but making cookies at 3am is just WRONG.

Okay, so its christmas eve. Somehow I've gotten everyone a present. So its pretty darn good. Gonna be raining here today more than likely, already started over Independance Mall. We have to go to Whole Foods and pick up our awesome carrot cake, vegan oreos, vegan muffins and maybe some tofu turkey or tofu chicken nuggets. TOFU chicken nuggets are AMAZING. I had them the day before my uncle's wedding when we were in Brooklyn last September. Yum, vanilla.

Mark is coming later this evening, dunno if Sarah is coming too. She was supposed to be going to her parents in Wisconsin but her flight may or may not be cancelled.

Smells like El is making pancakes, ought to help instead of being on my laptop...eek.

xo!

Welcome To America

Well I'm in Philly. Actually, I was here yesterday and just couldn't be bothered to post. I'm sure your very sad for this delayed blog. So this is gonna be super-duper long! YAY!!

Got up at 6:30, hardly slept night before. Didn't sleep in the taxi to Heathrow because the driver was really chatty. Mile a second...Talked about completely randome stuff too. Got there really early, my gran rang up just as we were lining up for 'fast check in' ("never more than one person in front of you" there was 4.) to ask if we were there because there'd been some huge prang on the M25 that blocked most of it. We missed it. It was awesome.

Got through security fine, just dandy in fact. Terminal 5 isn't that bad actually. It has these cool flashing light things that are awesome. I'd have taken a picture but there was lots of guys with guns walking round and I didn't feel like being shot. We had coffee and waited for our gate number to come up and read the Guardian becasue we're posh gits.

On some duty free wandering we found ourselves in the first class lounge - we left very fast. Carpet was real soft in there though...and had pretty patterns. There was also this amazing sculpture on the escalator up. it was some sort of oval ish thing and was covered in black circles that flipped over to show a mirror side. They flipped in different patterns, pretty! Also found the accesible help desk. When I travel by myself they'll guide me to the gate - the joys of being VI.

I got searched when I handed in my boarding pass. I wasn't the only one - some woman looked through my bag. She even flicked through my book (A Hat Full Of Sky - Terry Pratchett) and made me open my laptop up. She also frisked me...huh.

Our plane was miles out so we had to get buses, they had the doors half shut when we actually got there. Two people had also 'decided' not to fly with BA and luggage was being removed for security reasons. Force was involved I think...

Flight felt so long, was 71/2 hours so I guess it was long. But I couldn't sleep for ages because it was afternoon. I managed to get an hour in before my iPod died. Also watched Creature Comforts, end bit of Dark Knight and listened to backstage with flight of the concords. Geez, that was freaking funny! Wind was pretty high, got up to 179mph and our landing was a bit fucked. We lost a lot of height very fast. And jolted around a lot. Didn't miss the runway though, so it was fine.

American security guys are really grumpy. In Philly anyway. The ones in NY are really awesome and joke around. Hah, we had the guy called Curto. I had to pay $3 for our trolley because no one else had $1 bills. So I'm owed 3 bucks. Whoop. When we got out the airport, complete with all luggage and a grandparent it was -4C and very iced over. We also got on the wrong side of the highway and headed towards Delaware for a bit.

Yesterday was pretty boring. Just sitting round, eating sushi for dinner. Stuff like that. Today I went down to Murray's and got fresh bagels. Was -8, but I had a grandma and a dog (and coats) for warmth. And moral support of course. Pretzel is a pound dog, mostly collie x GSD I think. She's pretty, but built like a bear compared to Bala. She's square anyway. Nothing against her though. Made mince pies too then headed out to hit the THRIFT STORES. And 'party land'. Heh. Shit shop that is. Spent this afternoon walking thorugh West Laurel Cemetery and teaching Emma the wonders of actually USING flickr.

She has a pro account now. Worship me for the $24 spent on keeping flickr alive. Hell yes.

Dinner now, wow its only 5:30? Strange...need to go to Whole Foods tomorrow to buy food, make peanut butter and to pick up our vegan carrot cake with 3 inches of icing. Mark (the indie uncle who's gonna be a DADDY!!) is coming up tomorrow night, possibly with his wife Sarah.

Gotta go, dinner smells good.

xo!

Almost There...

Well not really. 3000 or so more miles.

But we've started out towards Philly. We're still in the UK - I'm actually sitting in my bedroom at my grandparent's house in St Albans. So y'know...

Flight leaves at 11:15am tomorrow from Heathrow terminal 5 (hope the baggage system works now...) and our taxi comes at 7:30. So 6:30 start - whoop!

Good thing is that I've opened nearly all of my presents now, I got $30 from my grandparents here, chocolate, coloured pencils, a notebook and my great great grandma's silver bracelet. its awesome and shiny!

Need to sleep, stupid early starts for stupid morning flights...rawr.

Oh My Carlisle!

Just seen Twilight!

Nothing like the book. But as a film - it was pretty awesome. Guardian gave it 4/5 stars. As did I =D Was really funny sitting next to Danni. Geez, she sure can make me giggle. She has an obsession with Edward. I like all the Cullens. Especially Bella once she's a vampire...

We all screamed at the credits. And when they kissed. I screamed for Alice and Jasper because I loves them. And Emett. But not Rosalie because she's a bitch.

Well, night night! Way fun going cinema - BRAP MATE!

:P Chav quote of the day...

For The Heck Of Updating...

I"ve decided to tell you guys all about my life as of now. And anything that I feel like typing because I'm bored as heck.

Firstly - if you want to read my story. Go HERE -> http://www.ficwad.com/story/113751 Its romantic, boy on boy with possible SMUT. Go lick it. It tastes good XP I'm still doing Ch5. So won't be up for a while. I've had 1 review. So I feel special! <3

Jeremy and Frankie are my characters and obey me. In my mind...I'm not weird at all...

Tomorrow is the last day of term, and we finish at lunch. So today we did jack all mostly. In Maths we were supposed to be evaluating our tests but she left them at home. So we got to mess around on the departmental laptops (always wanted to say that - sorry XD). Moi et Raquelle watched MSI, A7X, Tigerpicks and Daft Punk on youtube. Cos we're amazing.

English was really strange. We were watching some dodgy movie which was 'based' on Weathering Heights. ((we're doing coursework on weathering heights)) but is mostly a load of made up cow poop. And the female lead got raped when she was 12 and her best friend didn't notice she was pregnant! 0.0 and her 'sister' is her daughter. But she didn't say who had raped her for ages so Danni goes "She's the VIRGIN MARY!" really loudly. I almost choked on my Mars Planets XD

Basically its incest, rape and violence mixed into a nice combination of twat and bastard. No idea what its called anyway.

Also had an assembly for our principal leaving. No one likes her though. So me and Danni were singing 'we wish a crappy future' because she goes on about how shes gonna have an AMAZING TIME IN DORSET. Whatever. You toad/frog hybrid.

We watched Back To The Future 3 in History because it reflects the myth and reality of cowboys in the American West. Of course.

Going to see Twilight tomorrow. It only comes oout tomorrow, but we've booked tickets so its good =D Gonna be full of squealing teens. I'm gonna be SQUEEING. not squealing. So there. I've written 'team edward' on shirts for people with sharpies. Need to do that now really...

But facebook is so addictive!

RAWR.

Bye byes

Moving Rooms...

Well around Easter next year. After my mum has burned her PhD and stuff. But I'm going to mover into her studio because its awesome and i like it better than my room (even if it is smaller). My room is just a rectangle - her room has a little corridor going in, then a rectange, THEN a little square room coming off the rectangle!

Awesome huh? It does mean getting rid of a load of crap that I've collected over the years. I've gotten rid of loads of books so far. Books that I've never read. About the West Indies. Seriously there were about 20 about the West Indies!

I'm gonna do a new photography project. With my tofu men plushies and my plastic tofu critters! Yays...

Thats about it, apart from...


Police reveal that a woman arrested for shoplifting had a whole salami in her knickers. When asked why, she said it was because she was missing her Italian boyfriend. (Reuters via The Manchester Evenings News)
After being charged £20 for a £10 overdraft, 30 year old Michael Howard of Leeds changed his name by deed poll to Yorkshire Bank PLC Are Fascist Bastards. The bank has now asked him to close his account, and Mr. Bastards has asked them to repay the 69p balance, by cheque, made out in his new name. (The Guardian)
Would the congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the church labelled 'for the sick' is for monetary donations only. (Churchtown Parish Magazine)

Commenting on a complaint from a Mr.Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West gas said "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr.Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that blew his house to pieces." (Bangkok Post)

Happy Birthday Indie Chick!

Yup its indie chick's birthday! worship her or die.

We had fun with toy tofu things...will post photos tomorrow when its light and sunny again.

Racism

Okay I'm pissed off and now in full rant mode. Which isn't good for you guys.

I hate citizenship. Its officially citshit instead. Its a waste of 1/2 GCSE or however much. As is RE because they only teach about Christianity. My grandparents are Subud. Does anyone know about that? NO. Does anyone really know anything about Islam or any other religion? I mean, people know nothing about the Mormons! And they were freaking christians! And lack of information makes people very judgemental. Take my citshit class. The perfect, racist, pre-judgemental, hypocrital example.

We're doing about racism in citshit. How its tolerated, is the UK racist that sort of thing. We ended up talking about migrants. Legal and illegal. And I have absolutely no problem with legal migrants. Illegal is another matter. But 90% of my citshit class are totally against all kinds of migrants (being in the country does mean most of them have shot guns and their familes have always voted Conservatie). And they have all types of stereotypes for each different "set" of people.

Most of their wit is based on Asian people. And most of it is very offensive. And they are saying this very loudly in a CITIZENSHIP CLASS. Where we are supposed to be learning TOLERANCE of different races and religions. And this brings me onto Islam. As stated my grandparents are Subud. Which is a sort of branch off of Islam (the fast and everything but don't follow dress code and whatever). Someone in my citshit class ACTUALLY said this.

'I don't like them muslims, like, with their big dresses. You know? The Ninjas? With just the eyes showing right? I find that...like, when I'm talking to someone I want to see their face right? Not just their eyes...' and it went on and on and on. People can wear what the hell they want. Turned out this girl thoughtl they all had bombs "under the dress things" and that they would blow up the street as she walked by. This is Leicester we're talking about. One of the most culturaly diverse cities in England! Ugh it makes me want to scream.

and what annoys me most is that my citshit teacher did NOTHING to surpress all racist remarks made in that lesson. SOME TOLERANCE HUH BRENDON?? Hypocritical bastard...

Ugh i'm sitll pissed off.

Celebrations

Oh yeah - Barack Obama is in! Hell YEAH!

My grandparents live in the US which explain my love of american politics and why I care who wins...hmm. He goes into office on 20th January - so not when we are in the states. Shame.

But he won! :) I'm so happy and can't quite believe it. It was by a big margin as well. Shame democrats didn't win Arizona - that would have been insult to injury for McCain...They won Florida so that basically meant they had won from the start.

Go Obama! Can we do it? Yes We Can! mwhahah. Its Bob the Builder! Its BARACK THE BUILDER.

xo

Joe The Plumber

Happy election day guys!

If you live in some bubble beneath the sea - its the US election today. And I'm back Barack Obama all the flipping way. I've just been watching McCain do his last rally (i hope it is his last...) in Pheonix (lol part of Twilight is set there), Arizona.

And I find him a complete git! I mean given the choice I'm always going to go Democrats. Even Hiliary freaking Clinton was better than McCain/Palin! Oh c'mon they only have Palin for political balance - democrats have a black dude and a woman. OH NO. What do we do?? Find some asswipe from Alaska who we can mould to our wishes...hmm. Hello Sarah Palin!

Have you heard the stuff Palin comes out with though? If not - YOUTUBE IT. She got pranked by some radio station pretending to be Sarcozy. lol! What an ass.

I'm debating whether or not to stay up and see the results for each state. Though I'm lazy. But I can sleep in chemistry and physics tomorrow...hah.

Right then. More rallies to watch.

Happy Halloween!

Yup happy halloween guys! <3

I'm not gonna do much apart from go gate crash indie chick's sisters halloween party xD we never get trick or treaters at my house...'cos i'm bored thats write what happened at school...

I decided to sorta dress up a bit because its halloween and its totally awesome! So I wore my corset (yes i own a corset) under two jumpers 'cos my parents dont really like it and would scream if they knew i wore it to school xD lol anyways. so i wore that and went to call for indie chick and then i stopped in the middle of the street (it was empty...) and pulled both my jumpers up and yelled LOOKIE!!...it was fun. if creepy! I did the same to loads of people at school. well funny! it really hurt sitting in the bag box on the bus because the bones were digging into me.

loads of other people had dressed up as well so i wasn't all on my todd :P mostly "emo" and "goth" peoples. and some sorta "punk" people too. Jess had pink fairy wings and a black tutu and this girl i don't know the name of had this totally aweosme purple sexy butterfly wings! I wanted to steal them and fly away xD so yeah...someone painted their face like the joker. it was pretty...heh.

I was dared to take my jumper off in maths when our teacher told us to take our coats off. So i did! lol...someone said "ain't that what you wear when you wanna have sex with your partner?" then someone else said "does she know that...?" I burst into laughter. On the way out i sort of yelled "i feel like a common street prostitute" xD

lunch was kinda fun. water fights as always and flashing random people and eating mars bars.

so yeah...my day.

Panic!

I finally have panic at the disco on my laptop and my ipod. I'm really happy...its totally AWESOME. And I can so tell you want to steal it from me -_- I have pirate metal as well :) HAH.

Uhh anyway.

I started ranting about global warming eariler. So i might continue...well will continue actually. So...I think we should all recycle and everything and we should be using WAY less oil and fossil feuls. But hardly anyone does! I mean - a few people recycle some paper now and then and some do more than that. But seriously - most people DON'T. Because the recycling system in the UK (well my area) is totally shit! Other areas have bins for everything so its all seperate - we have one tub thing for all recycling and they don't take half the flipping thing! We have to take our juice cartons and soya milk cartons to the co-op because they have a plastic tetra-pak recycling bin. And the co-op isn't exactly walking distance.

So wouldn't it be more useful if instead of fretting about the economic climate (they made it happen by saying it would so they can dig themselves outta that hole) and do something about global warming and climate change! If some fancy ass banker doesn't get a bonus of $3million or whatever no one is going to die and the world won't end. But if we carry on u sing so much fossil fuels and being so careless with carbon emmissions and recylcling we'll end up in a big mess which will be TOTALLY OUR OWN FAULT.

So go down to the store and buy some energy saving light bulbs! And hold your breath to reduce your carbon emissions!

Sorry for that huge rant - I'm in a ranting mood.

Meh

Allright. I'm actually feeling quite depressed. Stupid darn eyes! I hate being me - meh I'm going to rant about me. So I'd better stop eh? Well go on...just a little bit then. I hate having ocular albinism and Nystagmus and all that shit. I hate people ASKING why my eyes move. If I had a decent answer I'd print it onto a shirt and just wear the darn thing every day. Then people wouldn't be to asswipes about it.

Now thats that out of the way (i actually giggled at 'way' because I like Mikey Way / Gerard Way / MCR - lol I'm sad). Apart from the depressed bit of me I'm actually not so bad really. I saw Alan today at school while I waited after math revision to go swimming. So we had fun conversations and all that shit. It was really fun! And only slightly creepy when I sat in his car in an empty car park...lol. Nah he's not evil!

I'm gonna be ambitious. And rant and ask for your views on my rants. Yes my two darling followers its over to you. As I think I tend to lean more towards bi then anything else I hate homophobia right? My motto is Homophobia Is Gay. Its on my shoes, pencil case, everything. So whadda ya think of homophobia?

I actually can't be assed to rant anymore. I'm way to tired from swimming. So views anyone?

Another Shitty Ass Title To Rock Your World

Don't ya just LOVE IT? It being my obvious wit and intelligence at writing blog titles. You can tell can't you? I'm very sarcastic as you can more than likely tell. Sarcastic humor is amazing.

Allrighty. Lets post what happened today...fuck all! Well maybe more than that. After half term or fall break or whatever you wanna call it my first lesson on Monday morning is PE. I had netball - I don't do ball sports (stupid eyes x_x) mainly 'cos I can't actually catch or throw (main part of ball sports right? thought so...) but I did it anyway. The alternative was "heart health" HELL NO. We had to do it outside - its freaking cold here! Right now its like 3C. Thats cold. And it was clear and frosty and stuff this morning. So I froze my ass off in PE. yay! Second was histroy which isn't so bad because I chose it as an option for GCSE.

We're doing about America and the first settlers. Including...MORMONS! Every lesson basically turns into really sick minded nothingness. (brokebackmountain). Ahem. Tutor was shit as always. We're supposed to be learning about cliques. WHY?? So we get to watch Mean Girls WHY??

Art was kinda boring. I ate my vegan cereal bar thing without being murdered. Good times...heh. Physics was so freaking boring! Can't believe I actually managed to get into triple science...hmm. Then Math was also (yea i call it Math not Maths even though i live in the UK) boring and MEH.

After school I had arts award with my darling "indie chick" (RACHAEL) -cough-. She's bumage. HAHA.

That was fun. I listened to Cage The Elephant. Ooh yays!

Right now I'm playing "back stabbin betty" by Cage the Elephant. To loud I think...the lyrics are ...mother fucker...mother fucker...etc, I've just looked at my Party Shuffle playlist and H.I.M is not so its all good. Yay for sexy Ville Valo! Isn't he prettiful?? HELL YESH.

Meh. This has killed some of my boredom.

More Fun In The Park

Okai (ooh i can spell words weird)...

These, are two of my cousins. And they're totally awesome! I only have 4 cousins and I guess this is 50% of my cousins...heh. Mathematical or WHAT?

So yeah. They came to stay for the weekend. Featured in my picture are Dan (left - second born and second son) and Zoe (left - dunno when she came but she has an identical twin Rosie. After Dan definitely).

Some family history for you...

Hah. We don't see them often so I thought I'd blog it into my memory. Ooohhhh we're going to Philidelphia at Xmas to see my grandparents.

YAY.

So long suckcers
xo!

OMG A NEW POST...dun dun duuuun.

Dramatic or what?

Slightly shocking - a new post mere HOURS after the first but I'm still incredibly bored. And I might as well get on with what this charming blog was supposed to be about...my pretty doggie! Yeah.

She's special! And the Welsh Collie Princess of Wales. Nahh. Bala (if we feel posh its Princess Bala Vera or just Bala Vera) is my darling Welsh Collie. She was from the RSPCA because she was picked up as a stray. The shelter was gonna put her down because no one wanted an old dog (they guess she is maybe 11 ish). My parents went and looked for a dog for me - and found her. She was the only one that didn't bark at them and her eyes can melt anyone :)

So we got Bala. She didn't have a name so we called her Bala after Bala Cynwd (and Princess Bala in Antz) where my grandparents live in Philidelphia, PA. We've had her since May 2007 and she is completely settled in now. And gets on all right with our cat Purdey Pants. Uhhh Purdey.

Anyway...Bala loves you now. 'Cos you read all that random stuff. Bala will take up some of this blog 'cos she is just so CUTE but most of it will probably my escapades with my camera. Heh.

Enjoy :)

Boo.

To any aliens reading this, bang the sticks together guys. IT MAKES FIRE. And make wheels circles - then you can run annoying asswipes over!

Heh.

I don't actually know what to put except I'm freaking bored! My cousins are supposed to come soon...well hours. But ya know. Haven't seen them in like, ages? I don't know... EEKKK must charge laptop. I'm dieing.

mwhaha I liiiivvveee.

My laptop talks to me, and the "little voices" say HI too. They like you. 'cos you're the only one reading this shit...

I haven't read all of my new manga drawing book. Maybe I should do that? Meh I'll stick to having music to loud for now :)

goodbye my dears.
