My Not So Interesting Life

The long haul is over - and now it's almost New Year. I feel I ought to have some sort of long d+m type blog telling you all how much I love you. But I dont. (Love you or have that blog in mind? You decide)

I'll save it for another time me thinks.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I know I bloody did lol. A particular highlight - well not really a highlight, more of an accomplishment I say... in fact, let's not even give it a name, let us just question the idea. The COMPLETE Rocky series. I, II, III, IV, V. Who would even run them back to back on the same day?! More importantly who would WATCH them?

And that, dear reader, is where me and my family members will have to raise our hands. Now as many of you know, my family is primarily restauranteur based - evidently this unlimited supply of champange and chocolates will take it's toll in due course...

We didn't just have two turkeys this year. We had a turkey with a DUCK inside it. And inside the duck was a pheasant! Seriously, all Paul Daniels impressions aside, I half expected four and twenty blackbirds to fly out....
..Sing a song of sixpence. A pocket something something.
Four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie
... And when the pie was something, the birds began to sing
... Oh something something something something..
... something something KING! ..
Can anyone REMEMBER those lyrics?! Can anyone even remember the song? Yes those last remnants of my childhood are all I have.. *sigh*
I remember something about bread and honey.. I swear that's the same song. It just doesnt really fit with the context of birds in a pie... BUT hey! It's a childrens song, they don't have to make sense! Mmm pie...

But yes. Moving on from the amazing Super-Bird!

While we're on this whole, I'll think, you think subject - I've had a thought.
Is it just me or does Andy from X Factor look just like the Great Gazoo?

Man, I used to love The Flintstones! And then they went and made those two horrible horrible movies. Irony is, I've seen them both. A few times.

See, now THOSE lyrics I remember. Talking of lyric revelations, apologies to those of you who were present and subject to me, Chizzel, Chazbaz and Spalfa in the common room with our rendition of the Pokemon theme song.

*quiet voice* I wanna be.. the very best.. like no one ever was-
*everyone* NYEOW NYEOW N-YEOW
*louder* to catch them is my real test - TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE!

Spoilers no more, we were going to do that for TOTP this year, alas we could not find the music anywhere. Major shame. There were dance moves and all.

Independance Day was on. We watched it. Great film for Christmas. Love Actually- possibly one of THE best Christmas films. We watched that too. Shrek. A family classic that we all love! Yeah, we didn't have time to watch that one...... But that's good. I thought I ought to mention it..

And to end with, some memorable quotes from Love Actually lol

Dec: Billy, I believe you've brought a prize for our competition winners.
Billy Mack (the old dude): Yes I have, Ant or Dec. It's a personalized felt tip pen.

And of course, the bread winner.

Mark: But for now, let me say - Without hope or agenda - Just because it's Christmas - And at Christmas you tell the truth - To me, you are perfect - And my wasted heart will love you - Until you look like this [picture of a mummy]... Merry Christmas.

Gotta love it :)

Man i love holidays, I got up like an hour ago...

Anyways, I hope you all received your cards (aka handmade pieces of my heart)
I’ve actually got a few that I didn’t get round to filling out because you’re all away on SKI TRIPS damn you.

But yes, I suppose, it’s a headstart on next year?
Cheers to everyone on my “factory line” – I wouldn’t have been able to make and distribute all those cards this year without your help. Apologies to those who received the Alpha batch (ie Happy Jesus’ Birthday, Mutant Tree, Happy Joy Joy etc)

Making the most of this speech-like moment, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your lovely cards and presents. Favourites being the umbrella, The Shoes of Salvation (blog to come on that one day), the chocolate/s as well as the journal and the uber mini skirt lol
....Seriously, you’re all starting to know me TOO well. I fear I’m becoming predictable…

Can you believe it’s Christmas already? I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems I’m only just starting to get into the mood. IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!!
All we need now is Armageddon on TV to compelte it. Actually, I think the Christmas Eve movie is Bridget Jones – which, alongside Love Actually is another Christmas great.

Twas a good end to the year- Fundraising Week was pretty immense, if you’re ever in need of a laugh I’m sure you know EXACTLY what to think of lol. Also special mention for my lovelies for their stellar performance in the House Captains Panto. “We’re LOST! *shocked face*”

The last day was sent off with a bang. Group of us went to Machet’s for a night of “pubbing it up” in Wendover. I shouldn’t go into details for fear of horrible, horrible repercussions but I’m sure you’ll get the gist of it when I tell you I’m waiting for photos of five of us posing on the zebra crossing -Abbey Road stylee. At about 11PM. And as for the cars waiting in line.... no guesses as to what those drivers thought. LOL. "Zoe, if this is you slightly drunk, god save us the day we see you totalled"

Haha, also I hope you all managed to visit the Zoe Angel in N15. Basically, members of 13L were very very very bored in a free period and decided to draw around me in paper (as you do), cut it out, and stick it to the wall – all in the name of festive decorations of course. Not just because we wanted to deface the school walls with a giant Zoe. Lol I’m sure most of you will have seen the pictures – including the “making of..” mini pics lol. But yeah, it has my streaks (in white – though, admittedly, my hair has gone compleeetely ginger – much to the delight of some)

Unfortunately, the very next day – my head fell off. Oh, the trauma.

I’ve been reading the MYNSIL archives – it’s weird to think that this is my third Christmas on the blog. 2003, I posted on Christmas morning. 2004, I posted on Christmas Eve, and 2005? Well I’m posting on the 23rd… Oooh again, this is the part where I include my realisation that as each year goes by, I’m getting more and more of a life – no really, look at the previous years, and you’ll see what I mean!

Anyway – I doubt I’ll be posting before Crimbo now (so I say), so I suppose Happy Birthdays and Christmasses all around – I hope you all, have a truly wonderful Christmas. It’s been another good year with you guys and I do believe I love you all. Whether you love me is another question but we’ll save that for the new year. Surprisingly, it’s getting harder to say what I’d like for Christmas. Hmm. Maybe I’m realising that Christmas is not actually all about the presents?

Mmm turkey… (*mutters* ANTICHRIST!)

After working Christmas Eve – (dressed up a an Angel and scaring the children again no less), I’m spending Christmas with The Family again – it’ll be interesting as this year we’ve moved the Christmas feast back up north where the mainstay of The family is.
I sense a repeat of Chinese gambling games with lots of champagne, truffles and champagne truffles this year.

Fortunately for me, due to the move, I won’t be stumbling across various family members asleep in random places this year as this venue has no available garden.

Have a good one boys and girls and I’ll get back to you soon.

Much love

xXXXXXXXXXx

Oh dear god.
SO many highlights lololol.
Ie. Running off with the microphone not remembering it was attached to the wall on the other side....
And the jacket. Oh the jacket!
AND THE BOW TIE!

2 rehearsals.
2nd PLACE! Ehhhh!

More to come later.

I have tomorrows print deadline to meet..
xXXXx

Fundraising Week is upon us.
Can't believe its been a year since the last one - the "highlight" obviously getting caught in the rain wearing just a floaty chiffon dress. Can i get a woop woop?

It's our last year, and in true Cabinet tradition we are doing an act for TOTP on Wednesday. Like I said at the end of assembly today: I'm not going to say exactly what it is. But I WILL be dressed as a man. So it will be a laaugh.
Oh fuck it, you ALL know what I'm doing anyway! I would like to refer to a few lunchtimes ago when a casual passerby outside my form room did a DOUBLE TAKE after seeing my ... antics..

Hehe, it will be interesting seeing that our first, and only rehearsal was today. Our Plan B?
"If, at any time, you don't know what are meant to be doing, or don't know WHAT you are doing, just MARCH!" Zoe, overlord of the dance

So yes, Wednesday- be there. And also check out the House Captains EXTRAVAGANZA! It's based on Lost and I hear suggestions of Miss Payne Cooke featuring as Legolas.....

Just a quick blog today. The Christmas cards are slowly taking shape, but alas, i've run out of card.... Gay. IN THE FACE.

Everyone have a good weekend and rejoice in the fact that this next week is our last full week before Xmas break. (No Marsworth planned til after January exams, mates. Sorry lol) . Also, for many of us, it will be the last Xmas we spend at AHS.
I'll leave you to think on that...


Actually- i lie again, i hate ending on a sad note. Hmm.. something that I found funny. Yes, of course it's related to General Studies slash Economics.
"They have different laws and methods of punishment - like Gary Glitter who might be sentenced to death by firing squad"
"I LOVE Gary GLITTER! He's so cool!"
*silence*
"Emmal, he was arrested for child abuse"
"Way to kill the mood mate."

Also, my amusement this week has mainly developed from Mr Skinner's new found talent of poking fun at Laura and Mr Torpey. Oh we love the Skinner and his ability for making our lives a misery..
"Laura could you get me the sheets, they are upstairs in -"
"-Mr Torpeys office?"
*pause* "Erm.. no"
*laughter*

*10 minutes later*
"Mr Skinner, where's Laura?"
"Do you reckon she's got past Mr Torpey's office girls?"
"No" pipes up Ambray, "It's just that she's got heels you see"
