Nothing exciting really

This week has been very boring. Although I am pleased to say that ALL my friends are finally back in the country! YEYY! I hated it when they were away, such a snoozefest. Caught up with Megan the other day for a chat. You know same old, same old. Today I played tennis (yes really) with Sarah. We weren't actually too bad until a young group of boys decided they would stand and watch us and comment on our skills. "Man, there even better than us!" Then we started to fail miserably. So that is all. Boring post. :)

Outfit Post

Here's an outfit from a few days ago when I went to Durham.



Floral shirt - Topshop
Leggings - H&M
T shirt - H&M
Tan belt - Primark

Also, to the GCSE resulters. If you did well, amazinggg! Congrats! If you didn't, commiserations but tbh they don't mean absolutely anything. After doing my AS levels, (which btw are ten times harder), GCSE's aren't even mentioned any more.

Just watching the start of Ultimate BB and OMG! cannot believe they've put both Preston AND Chantelle! haha this should be funny.

Up In The Clouds

Castle Calling was... interesting. We got to Richmond at about 12 and went to get our wristbands. Bands didn't start for another hour but it was really hot so we just sat around for a bit. After about half an hour though, the 'heavens opened' and we pretty much spent the rest of the day either under umbrellas or taking refuge from the pouring rain in one of Richmond's many tea rooms. My favourites of the bands that we did catch were Only Animals from Richmond and Sound of Guns from Liverpool.

When 8.30 eventually came, (yes the day did slightly drag) and the rain had eventually ceased, Darwin Deez were amazing. Even though I only knew a few songs, their set was really good. They also do dances between every song which are hilarious. Think Beyonce in Single Ladies (they even did their own version of it) but with cooler tunes. I think there's a few vids on YouTube. I'd definitely recommend going to see them. Certainly made it more of a show, rather than just a regular 'gig'. Futureheads were also good. I've only recently bought their newest album but I pretty much like all the tracks, which is unusual for me. They played most new tracks as well as a few of the older favourites such as Beginning of the Twist, Skip to the End and the anthemic Hounds of Love.
Overall, it was a cute little festival. I liked how even when the headliners were on, the crowd was still small, making it feel quite intimate. Ended up only being a few rows from the stage as you can tell from the photo. x

Hmmm

Got my results. Psychology - A, Textiles - B, Maths - D, Core - D, History - E. Im obviously happy with the first two. Core and Maths I don't care about; core because it doesn't matter or mean anything and Maths because I HATEEE it and will probably be dropping it now. History I'm disappointed about but I was kinda expecting it as the exam was awful. Worst exam I ever sat. Nearly walked out of it. But I'll resit History and hopefully get a B. Thats what I want. Tbh though, they're only AS levels so don't matter as much and to get onto the foundation diploma I wanna do I only need ONE A level and can use the foundation diploma to get into uni.

On a brighter note, Tomorrow I'm off to Castle Calling in Richmond. Hopefully it'll be nice-ish weather and they'll be some good unknown bands on. Darwin Deez and The Futureheads too! Should be fun. x

Suddenly I See

Went on a spur of the moment trip to TK MAXX yesterday. I wasn't in the mood to rifle through the clothes in the hope of finding something I like in my size. That occasionally happens and when it does its brilliant! So, i ventured over the home section. They always seem to have cute one off pieces in there and again you can find some great things if you look properly. I've been looking for a jewellery box/storer ever since I saw one in the intro to The Devil Wears Prada, (a long time ago!)and could never find one. So when I saw this one with its really cute fabric covering, I knew I had to buy it. I've also been looking for a big box to put all my little bits and bobs from Peru in. And hey presto, I found a perfect sized one with matching fabric to the jewellery box thing. So I bought them both for only about £15 I think.

Oh yeah and results tomorrow. Oh oh. Im dreading it. x

NEW HEADER

Yesterday and Sunday I spent alot of time in the garden. It was pretty warm and sunny, and I thought I might aswell attempt to get abit of tan on my arms. Took out some magazines and my mp3 (yes, I still don't own an ipod, but mines very cool with a flip out speaker and I love it!) and listened to the chart show for a couple of hours. Ringo the rabbit was madly running and thumping around me, crawling over me and trying to run in the house while my back was turned. Naughty little thing. I got some nice photos, the sun seemed to make my camera do great things, so I thought I could use one as a header. Edited it, then whacked it on here. I think its nice and summery even though summers nearly over. x

"There's something in the water!!!"

Just saw the trailer for Piranha 3D for about the millionth time and I think it borders on hilarious/terrifying. Tbh though I doubt it would be that scary for me. I think horrors are more scary when you think it could actually happen. E.g, zombies - couldn't happen, whereas psycho murderer - could happen. And when you live in England I would probably never swim in the freezing open sea anyway. However, despite that I am rubbish with horror films and find anything scary so I would still probably be scared shitless. This trailer, I just watched on YouTube, is way scarier than the one that they put on TV. Oh oh...



On a lighter note, a film I really really want to see is Vampires suck. Its a spoof of The Twilight Saga films and even though I class myself as a bit of a Twihard, I also don't have any trouble in taking the piss out of the sometimes cringe worthy moments that occur quite frequently in the films. I reckon the trailer's funny. But then again, it could be one of those films where all the funniest bit are in the trailer and the film itself it actually pretty rubbish. Think I'm gunna go see it anyway just to be sure. Take a look at the trailer and see what you think. x
