Prom, and lack of updating.

I should've posted so much earlier than this, but I'm lazy and I don't care ^^ I care about you guys, but I don't care I'm lazy. That's a bad thing, isn't it?

Anywho, for those who read this you should know I had prom on the 1st. And may I say I was pretty damn gorgeous ^^ It was slightly less that we thought it'd be, as they played music you couldn't dance to, could only grind to. And believe me, some people really took advantage of that. Meh. The driver got the directions wrong too, so we ended up going in the opposite direction to the prom. Yeah. We arrived late (fashionably), tried to eat dinner, failed, and this I was bombarded by two people I didn't like. Two girls who made my life hell for months came up to me separately and apologised and now are trying to get on my good side. I really don't like them.

SOS. Imma put some pics here, and then do something...else. I'm not sure what. Maybe sleep. Eh. Oh, and the girl in blue on the end? Yeah, she's really, really rude. We don't like her.

WUV OO.

And Daddy Said You Gotta Show The World The Thunder...

Long, overused, but does the trick ^^

Last night we finally had a thunderstorm *throws partay* I've been aching for one for the past two weeks so i was ecstatic with this. The only downside was I was stuck at my grandparent's house due to uncontrollable weathers and we had nothing of our own here. Oh well. It was so worth it ^^ We had hail, rain, lightning, everything! I shoulda taken some photos...

Apart from that, I've had a busy week; Saturday I was up London all day with the Roleplayers and parents for The Woman in Black. I have the book and I couldn't get into it, but I knew the main story so it was okay. But bloody hell, that play was terrifying. I hid most of the second half, and when I got home that night I kept waking up expecting to see a pale, wasted face shrouded in black hovering over me...*shudders* I really don't like the horror genre. Which is strange, seeing as I can think and imagine so many ways to kill someone...huh. Maybe I don't like not knowing what's out there, ya know? I'll have to think about that.

Sunday I was in Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park all day. For the UK devmeet. *screams, throws partay* ANY UK dA MEMBER WHO WASN'T THERE, YOU MISSED OUT!!! It was brilliant! There was the biggest turn out of any devmeet in the world $Spyed said, so we have that to be proud of ^^ there were some weird ass cosplayers there, though...one girl was being led around on a leash by another girl with long silver hair. Eh, whatever. I couldn't take it when they started Carameldansen though, or however it's spelt. Srsly. I made some new friends, did a drawing (that took me all frickin' day!) and just generally had fun ^^ we're thinking of hosting our own devmeet sometime this year, or next even if $Heidi and $Spyed don't come. It was fun ^^ I was talking about emo rapists, and this girl came over and said;

"...excuse me, did you just say "I'm a rapist"?" We kinda froze, then we all burst out laughing, so for the rest of the day I said I was a professional rapist. "Runs in the family, dontcha know?" xDD It was hilarious.

Alive, Alive-Oh

Even with exams I'm happy to be alive. I'm getting more commissions for Sims so I'm gonna have less time on my hands for stupid activities and I think I'm gonna pass at least one exam soon, so it's all good ^^

It keeps raining. It's been raining here for the past week or so. My friend Ayla (also known as This Person) says that they're lucky in Australia to get more than ___ cms a year. We've had more than that in two days. The good thing is that I'm made for England, seriously. I hate sunshine. I have fair skin, moles and dark hair. Not the best combo for sunbathing. I always burn, or at least turn pink...and with moles the risk of melanomas are increased. And I can't stand heat. I always prefer to be cold and warm up, than be hot and cool down. My mum thinks I'm weird, but she's accepting it now ^^. What with all the rain though, you'dve thought we'dve had a thunderstorm. No. I'm spoiling for one, really badly. I love them to death, and my ultimate dream is to be in school when we have a thunderstorm, then to be outside in one. I know, kinda dangerous, but I won't stand under a tree I promise.

I saw Drag Me To Hell yesterday with a friend, Becky-Lady. It was...well. I've only just realised I don't like horror films. I wasn't screaming, but I dug my nails into Becky's arm a bit too hard. The only way I got through the film was to watch from underneath my hat and crack really bad jokes. Geez, I'm a wimp...but apart from that it was a kinda...weird film. It was more gross out, I mean, she falls on a corpse that falls on her, then embalming fluid comes out of her mouth...eyeballs pop out into her mouth...a fly in her stomach...random bleeding of the nose...it was really weird. Oh, and a talking goat. It was towards the end admittedly, the goat got possessed by the Lamia (I swear they were female vampires...or vampires that could have kids...or something O.o) and called the lady a bitch. Then bit another guy and started doing a gig above a table...

Yeah. Weird film.

The ending was total crap, and we analysed it to death. I came up with some many cheesy endings I think Becky wanted to hurt me after ^^. And we kept going on about llamas, coz that's what Becky said she heard. She turned to me in the cinema and said..."Is the girl being stalked by a llama?!" and I laughed, so we got told to shush. So when I said I couldn't put my feet on the floor she said "Yeah, coz the llama'sll get ya!" I was like "Yeah, bite my ankles."

You had to be there. It was funny at the time.

For some reason I have the strange ability to get strangers to talk to me...we got to the cinema early and decided what we wanted, and for some reason Becky was shouting at me. This is kinda the conversation:

Becky: "No, you're an idiot."
Me: "Shut up!"
Becky: "No, make me. You can't, so ha!"
Me: to random cinema workers "Can you tell her to shut up, she isn't listening to me..."
Random Worker 1: "..."
Random Worker 2: "Shut up."
Becky: O.O...
Me: *insane cackle* "Yes!! I have a way with people!"

I also got chatted up at the end of the film by a really cute cinema worker. He asked me about the film for about five minutes, then said bye. I was like, nice one.

I did the same thing in Pizza Hut. I just have a knack with people, what can I say? Thant makes it Wimpy workers, Vue workers and Pizza Hut workers. 3-0, Becky, 3-0!!

Right, well that's about it...I'm gonna put a link to my facebook here, because I like people, and I check it more than Blogger...^^;

IF WANTING SIMS, READ FB NOTE PLZKTHX ^^

I never actually use text speak, so I don't know why I've used it there.

I've had chocolate and coffee. Don't blame me.

LUV!!

teh.sparkle.magpie...*

P.S. here's the link to the note...I forgot to put it here ^^; http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/note.php?note_id=90672276790

...sorry?

I am so sorry (for the however many people that read this) that I haven't updated in...months. I lost the password, and exams...and...stuff. Yeah.

ANYWAY I'm here now, so no matter!!

I have three exams left, two physics and a textiles (epic fail for that one...). I can't believe my school actually forced us to take either textiles or DT. Seriously people, I thought we had choice? No? Fantastic. At least after this exam I'll never do textiles again, unless I want to on my own terms ^^

Ah, sweet bliss...

Prom's nearly here and I still have no shoes. I have the bag sorted, I need to find some red glitter and I have to book an appointment with the hairdressers. Curly hair is gonna be hard for moi what with all the hair I have. Oh well, I like a challenge!

I was supposed to go to the orthadontist today (I hate all dentist peoples, all of 'em!) but they cancelled, thank Herne. Instead I have talking to my Aussie bestie (^^) and then playing Twilight Princess with my Dagenham/Barking bestie. THEN seeing Drag Me To Hell. Then revision. Eh, not a bad day ^^.

I got teh Sims 3!!

OMGosh, it is fantastic! I can customise everything about my Sims, and I think I'm in love with EA! I'm making Sims off all my friends, and when I'm done I'll show you them!! I'm also taking commisions, so if anyone wants a Sims of them, or of one of their OCs I'll be more than happy to do it free of charge!

I'm also trying to get back into writing and drawing. With all this time on my hands I've found myself getting more and more bored as time goes on, so I'm going to reawaken my passion for writing and see if I can actually finish a task for once. You'll see how that manages to go ^^;

If you want to check up on me more often, or just want to hear me ramble, check out my dA site (the link's in the little side bar thing, thataway ---->) as I update that site much more often that this one, which shows bias but I can't help it!

Anyway, I love you guys!

LOVE!!

Crashing not like hips or cars...

Today was a slightly bizarre day.

It started out okay ish, we went out for a kind of brunch thing before going up to London to get my prom dress. It's all good, all good, then the bus we got on wasn't able to close the back doors. We thought, why not get out and do it manually, when to our complete horror (I love that phrase!), the driver started driving...without closing the doors. There was a girl about 8 years old near the doors, and he's careening down the road at 30 miles an hour! Yeah, real smart.

After that palavar (we had to get off and get on another bus) we got to the bottom of Barking station. Walkign along, listening to Fall Out Boy, when a screech makes me turn. Have you ever heard someone get hit by a car? It's disturbing. Seeing them fall off the windscreen and bonnet then roll to a complete halt in the road is worse. Apparently this lady had walked in front of a parked bus to cross the road and got hit by a learner driver. Luckily he wasn't going to fast, but still...gods, that was horrible. She wouldn't move, then her friend ran over and tried to yank her off the floor. According to mum I screamed "DON'T TOUCH HER! DON'T PICK HER UP" about five times, really loudly. I used to be a member of St John's Ambulance, so I know the minimum of first aid, and isn't it common sense to not move someone with possible spinal injuries? I still don't know if she's okay...

When we finally made it, I got my prom dress, mum saw it and agreed it was gorgeous. It was the first time I'd seen it completely on me, and I fell in love with it all over again. I'll see if I can put a picture on here later, or maybe I'll wait till prom day.

Tomorrow I have a barbeque thingy. For a mate's dad's birthday. It's not that I don't want to go, more like I really don't want to go. He's nice enough, but his family...freak me out a little. The day after that I have a Beltane celebration. I cannot wait for that!!!! Dancing round a maypole, a bonfire, music and food! What more can you ask for? Well, yes, a car would be nice...well okay, so a pony would be better - yes, a DSi and Professoer Layton is what I'd love, but that has nothing to do with it.

Now to obsess over make up, hair, hat and shoes for prom. And a bag.

I seriously hope that lady's okay...

From me to you,

teh.sparkle.magpie...*

LET'S START A RIOT!!!!

Geez, What is with ma internetz?! They weren't letting me on, and I was gonna cry...

BUT I IZ HERE!!! For the...four? people that read this.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever loved the people in my school more than I do today.

Someone, apparently the year sevens, decided we would protest at the unfair dismissal of one of our teachers; a Mr Hannan of the RE department.

OMFG.

Half the school abandoned lessons second period (ten o'clock) and ran around the entire field for an hour!! They'd made banners and everything!! Every time the teachers tried to round them up, they ran all the way to other end of the field, screaming "WE WANT HANNAN! WE WANT HANNAN!" He was so moved by the fact everyone cared so much, he actually started crying. I just hope it hasn't screwed up his chances of getting another position at the school.

Things got so bad the police were called, two or three kids got expelled, some in my year aren't allowed to go to the end of year ball or sit their GSCEs in the school, and a few people got arrested. Over a protest-turned-riot in the aid of a fellow human being and one of the only good teachers at school.

I had a great view of it, but I was in lessons (finishing off my final piece for natural form). All lesson I was shouting "Hannan for President!"

Even if I don't live in America the sentiment counts, right?

I'll see if I can find some photos of it, and put a link up later.

I'M STILL BUZZING FROM IT! I had a massive grin that I couldn't get rid of all day!!

The best bit? My friend missed the entire thing. YES, THAT MEANS YOU, NEURO!!

Love to all, and merry Beltane!!

teh.sparkle.magpie...*

Chocolate, anyone?

So one week has passed and I've actually done no work at all. I've got textiles which my teacher let me do over the holidays even though it was supposed to be in two weeks ago, and ICT which was supposed to be in last year. Meh, it can wait, right?

I've got two commissions to do in this week. One is for my friend Becky, like I told you last post and the other is for my mum. Her birthday's in May so I've got another month at most, but I'd like to get the base idea down so I have a chance to expand and perfect it. I just have no idea what to draw. At all.

I'm currently watching Camp Rock, even though it's giving me a headache, and I know what happens in it (thanks, Wikipedia!) but there's seriously nothing on. I guess I could always watch the Easter sermon, but I'm not into Christianity, so...

The Jonas brothers are idiots. And Demi Lovarto or whatever sings weird. Hm.

Whisper of the Heart is an awesome film, though I like The Cat Returns better. Howl's Moving Castle is nothing like the book, I mean in it he comes from Wales. The film doesn't have that, but has awesome voice actors. I fell in love with Christian Bale's voice...ahh <3

I was supposed to be going to a barbeque today, but the lady that was organising it hasn't got back to us. Means I get a head start on my drawings!!

My friend Becky was round yesterday...we didn't actually do much, funnily enough. My mum decided to completely embarrass me in front of her, though. I should be used to it by now, but it still takes me by surprise.

ANYWAY that's it for now, so Happy Ostara for pagans/witches/whatevers everywhere and Happy Easter for everyone else!!!

1 hour and 45 minutes

Just some links

LINKAGE!!

http://sparkly-magpie.livejournal.com/

...that's it, actually.

God, my life is lame.

Actually, and I can't believe I forgot this, I was up London today! Not for anything massive, my mum had a interview (fingers crossed she gets it!!) and I had to sit in Starbucks for and hour and 45 minutes. With only one cup of coffee, a sandwich and my art book. One pencil. Which was pretty blunt to begin with. I managed three drawings: the Cheshire Cat, a mermaid and Icarus. They're all a bit sketchy, and the Icarus is a WIP for a friend - her birthday picture. It's alright for a sketch, and if you follow my deviantART link (up there---^) you may find it. But probably not. I want it to be a surprise, and she has an account, too.

So, I was in this Starbucks for 105 minutes bored out of my skull. When mum came we went to Old Spitalfields, Lulu and Lush and she put a deposit on my dress!! I got a dress for prom!! *dances* It is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!! A corset and skirt!! All I have to do now is get some gloves, a top hat and a necklace...can I persuade mum into getting me them, that's the question.

In other news, I really hate school. Just thought you'd like to know. Oh, and my tin whistling is coming along quite nicely! It also works on the flute as well, so I have two woodwind instruments. Hm. Maybe it's a conspiracy.

Anyway, hasing a tea party tomorrow. As in, drinks from teapots, all that jazz. It will be sunny. Goddammit, it will be sunny.

LOVE TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!

teh.sparkle.magpie...*

Work. Yeah, I did that once.

I really need a new template for my blog.

I shouldn't even be on here (for the two people that read this). I was gonna be a good girl and actually do my work for once, but noooooo, mum goes to bed and I'm stuck down here watching Justin Lee Collins and trying to make some damn tissue paper (at least I think it's tissue paper...) run in my art book to make a leaf. It's failing, btw. About 13 pages spare in my art book, and my last day to do it. Like, now. My GCSE is continuing tomorrow, and I'm gonna failfailfail...*cries*.

Huh. Saved by a woolly mammoth. Interesting.

Headlock a shark? Is that possible?

I really need some caffeine, but I don't want to go into he kitchen. It's so far, and cold, and kinda scary. Becky, come round now so I'm not alone...or I'll drag you here.

I want chocolate...and an extension for my art.

My ICT teacher's an ass. Like the donkey kind. She's given me a SLT detention (couldn't be bothered to just say department) tomorrow, and I had an hour and a half behind school tonight for textiles...and I have that over the holidays, too. Joy. AND I have to go into school Monday. Bloody holidays and I have to go in to do some damn coursework. Burn in the firey pits of Hades, all of you. The coursework, not you guys.

I'm having a tea party in the holidays, we've planned it all out. I can only thank the Lord and Lady that Friday is the end of the working week, and it's tomorrow. I don't think I could take another detention, whatever for. AND I'm missing fucking Roleplay again. Dammit all to...BLEAGH!!!

...really annoyed. You may be able to tell.

...a hurricane of electricity? Awesome.

Aww, poor Deany Winchester, Hell was that bad? Shame, seems like your life isn't much better at the mo...

My eyes are getting blurry, indicating I need that cup of coffee, like, five minutes ago. Will I get it, that's the question.

What's yahtzee mean?

...coffee.

teh.sparkle.magpie...*

Doom and Glooom

HOLA!!

How have you been, chickadees? In what, four days my life has been...hell. To put it bluntly. I had a breakdown (mini, so no biggie) in Friday night due to too much pressure being put on me by my teachers. Miss Taylor, who is a freakin' HYPOCRITE might I say, called my mum up to inform her I had an hour and a half detention on Monday night (which my art teacher is ignoring) and said "Oh no, I understand she has other subjects to worry about" when that day she had shouted to the entire class about whining to her about other subjects. Whore.

Is it illegal to rid the planet of an annoying, nagging teacher? It is? Well, what if I don't get caught?

Today I went up to Old Spitalfields in Liverpool Street to Lulu and Lush...seriously, I love that place. Corsets GALORE and I'm getting my prom dress from there! (no matter what mum says) It's goddamn gorgeous, but my friend Becky-Lady was reeeeeeally uncomfortable there. And she held my leather jacket (she hates leather) so it was doubly bad for her. Oh well xD

Tomorrow I got to this Mind, Body and Soul exhibition in Brentwood. Anyone my age going there tomorrow, I'll be wearing a black ribbon in a plait. Keep an eye out for me!

I plan to bankrupt my mum there.

LOVE TO ALL!!!

teh.sparkle.magpie...*

Dead-Lines

I hate textiles.

And all my teacher says is we're whining when we tell her that we have other work to do...yeah. That really motivates us more. Miss Taylor told the head of the department that I have no courseowrk, when spread across the desk was, lo and behold, my coursework!! I hate her. Really.

Because of this (and an impending art exam) I won't be online tomorrow...which makes me really nervous, now I think about it. I have OCD when it comes to my email inbox, and heaven forbid it gets too cluttered (remember, Ayla, for like a year? Yeah, took me half a lifetime to clear it...(wasn't mine, I borrowed it from someone)). And I'm a fanfic fantic, and watching BLEACH online, and playing Sims 2...I'm gonna hypeventiliate!

But seriously; I really need to do this. I have to have all my textiles work in by Friday. This includes the garment, which means I'm stuffed. I haven't even sewn it yet. Fuck.

So what's happening with you guys? Anything interesting happening in your lives, just comment and say, I'm always interested in other people. Not like that, I mean I'm interested in other people's views on things; y'know, like the eternal optimist and stuff...

ANYWHO I've just had a bacon sandwhich and am going to watch the new CSI. Will never be the same without darling Grissom T.T

Arriverderci!

University (Can we say eager?)

Last Friday (yesterday) I and several school chums (awesome word, chums) travelled with the aid of a pre-paid coach to the centre of London roughly, and the Science Museum. There was a University thing going on about all the unis in the world. Give or take a few. I actually got some good info about some good uni's in America and Australia, and one in Ireland. I want to specialise in science and art, specifically marine science's and maybe children's illustrations. I'd also love to do something along the lines of writing, but hey gotta pick and choose. My friend Myfanwy (no, she isn't Welsh) wants to go along the acting route, but hardly any schools do those kind of courses. Bugger for her. I thought I'd be in a sticky situation, but it was surprisingly easy for me to find some options.

We got loads of photos taken. At first we thought we had to stay in the university fair all day (three hours straight) and it was only halfway through when we realised that wait, hardly anyone from school was in the exhibit itself did we wander around for a place to eat and take stupid photos.

We excelled at the latter.

It was nice, although the ride back was a bit strained. I was stranded from my friends as we were up opposite ends of the coach and I was stuck with the RnB loving gangstas of the school. Wonderful. (No offence to those of the RnB genre. Peace out, homies.)

This weekend I was supposed to draw a picture for my mother for Mothering Sunday. I failed epically. All day, and all I did was surf the net and read fanfics. I fail at daughtering. I fail at ICT. I fail at...well, I was going to put life but with a meager 16 years under my belt (who coined that anyway?) I don't think I have enough evidence to say that. I'll see if I can get the time. If not, I really fail at life.

Aside from that, I'm seriously considering a tattoo. I might "persuade" mum into letting me get one for my 17th (or a few, depending on size).

Huh. Slightly boring now. Next weekend I may be going to this Mind, Body, Spirit thing in Brentwood. Does what it says on the tin, really. Hopefully it's on Sunday, as Saturday I really need to go to London to this shop as to enquire about my prom dress. Tailor made, damn expensive and drop dead gorgeous.

Oh, and if anyone read my last blog, some (really late) updates:
-my friend Charlotte Warren is no longer my friend, but a whore.
-I am nearing the end of my school life (kinda)
-Bekki (who gave me the photos of my hair) moved away, so Becky and Becci are different ones

That's it for now.

LOVE!!!

Priorities

As far as I know, only one person follows this, and even then barely. Coz it's new. Anyway.

It's the weekend, and I have a beer and curry night to look forward to later. Though I have a feeling I'll only be allowed the curry. Curses. Apart from that all I have to look forward to this weekend is art homework. Though I guess it is slightly important that I do it as it is a GSCE...but hey, it can wait a little bit, right?

I've managed to put my affairs in order (slightly) as I now know which subject to focus on first. At joint first place is textiles and art as the art exam and the final deadline for all my textiles work are close together. After that I can completely focus on ICT and how I'll fail it no matter what I do. Joy.

I'm gonna go around the site and see if I can find other blogs I like, and hopefully my old one. Then I can contact the peeps I fell out of touch with. Or ask Ayla to help. Either or. And gods help me I'll beat a friend of mine to read this. She knows I will.

That's about it for now, currently listening to Folie a Deux, The (Shipped) Gold Standard. Excellent. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to their recent concert at the O2, to my despair. Other chances though, right?

New and Old

This..is weird for me. I had a blog before, but when I lost my email it kinda...died. Sad really, but maybe it had to. It was time to move on and all that jazz. Well, now I'm back with a vengance, and a better anem. Kinda. I did like my old one (The Wicked Witch of the South-East) but I stopped updating after a while. I...forgot. Yeah. Forgot...

Anyway, short, sweet and to the point, (un) like me!

I'M BACK, BABY!
