My life is completely too mad to have me posting on this.I've been quite sick, had antibiotics and a painy blood test. I'm better now although I haven't had the results back yet.

I got an amazing unlimited cinema pass and have been exploiting it to hell. I have seen about one million movies, including Stardust about seven thousand times and Golden Compass only once because it is the crappiest thing in known history. We were well disappointed. Been watching an alarming amount of X Factor because I love Rhydian and I want to steal him and keep in my room so I can listen to his beautifulness whenever I please. No, really. I watch it the three times it's shown each week. I also like Same Difference but not nearly as obsessively. I do have to avert my eyes and...ears (can you avert such things?) when that stupid twit Louis (how do you even spell it, eh?) comes on the tv. I don't like him at all.

I'm cooking Christmas dinner this year and I have been fervently scrutinising every recipe in my mother's large collection of cookery books. I am getting a blank one of my own this year and I'm going to write only the good ones and get rid of all the others as it's just riduculous. I've been making cakes, biscuits, puddings everyday and we are all getting quite fat. It's hilarious. Also, jam. I have made about 4 jars in nine days. I didn't even like jam before. I've only been to two gigs that I can recall. Wombats on Friday. I love them and that guy speaks in the best way. Also Scarlet Soho.

There's complete lunacy going on at work with colleagues and something that closely resembles the burn book featured in Mean Girls! I have never been so angry in my whole life and once the investigation is finished, I'm leaving. I'm pissed off that someone could do such a thing, the amount of people involved and the serious impact it's going to have. I blinked and everything went psycho. Heavy, man. I don't think I'll be on here again for a long while. I hope everyone is well and enjoy Christmas please!

I watched Resident Evil at the cinema. It was scary. I had to take off my glasses. It was still scary. I also watched Stardust which is WELL GOOD. I loved it.

Amy saw Mark Ronson on Wednesday and then won tickets to see him again on Thursday at Shepherd's Bush. The support was so offensively boring that I had to listen to my ipod while they played. Mark Ronson was pretty good. Except for the silly, silly rapper guy that kept spoiling songs with his "make some noiseeeeeee" - what a loser.I had to pick up my camera from the stage door and I shocked all the lackies with my refusal of being a fan and how I managed to get through them all to get to the door. I was only interested in getting back my camera! We did not go to the aftershow. There's only so much hip-hop a person can take.

Tonight we are going to the Friday Night Late thingy at the V&A.

The Natural History Museum.I did not see the dinosaurs because the queue was MENTAL.


The Science Museum

Howdy.What have I been up to? Lots of things. Mainly not thinking Topher Grace is so cute after his sharp-teethed role in Spiderman 3. I just watched it. I couldn't tell you whether I liked it or not because I simply can't remember. Later I'm going to watch the complete Back To The Future trilogy with no breaks. I sometimes like to set myself these kinds of challenges. Maybe not tonight as I have to go to the cinema and football tomorrow. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself by falling asleep.

We had our school trip to Brighton. It was really nice. A boy threw up on the coach and then he had to pee in a bottle. Everything was fine until the bus jerked and the bottle of pee rolled down to where I was sitting. I did not approve.I went to Winchester to see Capital X and Scarlet Soho play. I did not watch Robots In Disguise. Amy and I were upstairs when they were eating and I think they wanted us to act starstruck. We didn't. We missed a football match because the bus driver got really lost. So we went shopping instead. On 13th October I went to watch Neil's Children at the Roundhouse.



After I went to have some chicken wings in Nando's. Then Claire, Rachel and I went to a (possibly) Vietnamese restaurant for more food. Rachel has a club and it was the 5th birthday party at Koko. We went to do some things before it opened. Namely playing with bubbles on the roof. It was well good.



I felt like a pimp last Monday when I saw Rum Shebeen at Soho Revue Bar. It was very smokey.



I had a first aid course. Which I am the best at. Feel free to injure yourself next to me. I am especially good at slings.

Yesterday I went to church at Brompton Oratory. It is beautiful! Then to The Natural History and Science Museums. I hadn't been for many years and I decided to beat the half-term crowd. They aren't that good. I'll post the pictures elsewhere because this post is killing me.

Then The Von Erich Family played at Lock Tavern. Boy Kill Boy were headlining. I don't know if it was a secret gig but it was well packed. I had to stand on a stool and I took no good pictures. Security said it was only guestlist. I told him it wasn't and he let me in. An hour later he wouldn't let my friends in, so I had to sort him out. They got in after that.I stayed over at their house and today we went to Ikea where I bought wrapping paper and Elderflower cordial.



That guy on the left is Dev. From places.

I watched Becoming Jane and was depressed by the ending. And their old people faces. My tea obsession hasn't subsided. Infact, it's worse. Amy and I went mad today in Morrisons and Waitrose: I bought a great raincoat from Hennes. I've been quite busy these last weeks. I was observed doing a literacy training session by about five hundred people. I think I may have to do one next month also. It poops me out with all the talking! I have also spent many hours in the library sorting out reading books. It took ages but I found alot of old Roger Red Hat and Bangers and Mash books that the Literacy Co-ordinators let me keep them because they are CRAP at teaching children to read. They are very monotonous but I loved them when I was at school. And I read fine. I found a book called Little Rabbit Foo Foo which made me laugh ALOT because Moldy Peaches made a song of it and I only just realised it's a real actual book. Other things: *Buying the new black ipod classic instead of the blander silver. *Watching much Jeeves And Wooster which is possibly the best thing in the world. *Missing SS play on Monday because I had to go to Brighton to do a risk assessment. *Watching Neil's Children and seeing an old foe and his new rubbish band. *Going to the amusing 5-0 defeat of Derby by Arsenal. *Wrapping Christmas presents and writing Christmas cards. *Knowing it is only mid-September.

Possibly the saddest thing to happen in my life. My brother chucked my ipod and it's totally dead now. My father came back home on Sunday and he was very angry and everyone was shouting and arggghhh. It has been decided (mainly by me, I am the boss, y'know) that my brother has to buy me a new one. There will be a brand spanking new silver 80GB coming out soon. Yes, please! Although I'm not totally convinced about the silver. We'll see. I've been enjoying my new class. We are going to Brighton in two weeks for our Geography topic. I don't know how I'm going to translate my new secretary (cardigan, skirt, FLATS (did I just say that word?) and such) look to the seaside, but I'll try my best. I haven't been very exciting this week. Reading some books and drinking lots of herbal tea. A few things: I broke myself. Amy and I spent our whole life in Primark. We don't even like Primark. Or shopping.

My iPod is broken! Argg! The Stephen Fry books are making me blush!

I haven't done much this last week. Knitting a well big scarf. It's about the size of a whole man. Sold about twenty dvds on Amazon because we still have too much stuff.



I did go to the this at the British Museum. It made my crafting abilities look less than inadequate. I loved it because many of the exhibitors have been named as a national treasure! Stuff Knighthood, Japan does it better. We also went around trying to find Ginger the mummy. He is an old friend of mine. But it was too busy and big so we left.



Went to the Arsenal v Sparta Prague game on Wednesday. We totally thrashed their ass. I bought a pen.

There is a big massive spider in the bathroom.



On Friday, I went to Winchester for a lot of good fun and cake and presents... like chameleons! We went out drinks, jukebox love and old men (not really, they were there though) and watched Nacho Libre and good things.



Scarlet made this and it dribbled in transit. Tasty.



Camille (I hope the spelling is correct. I must be her auntie after all.)

Bit gloomy, eh? I'm making myself feel better by dancing around to Hairspray.I'm learning to sew again. I haven't since our secondary school decided to be better than others by introducing textiles into our curriculum at year 9 or so. I made a Pugsley (dog from Pocahontas) cushion. I was very proud. I have a very old CAST IRON sewing machine that has a depressing bobbin problem, it breaks my back to move it. I may have to buy a new plastic one. I went out with a nice lady to Tooting market (she lives there...not the market) and I bought some nice fabric for one pound a yard. I'm going to make everything. Some people should expect scented pouches for christmas this year. Oh yes.T

his same nice lady and I went to watch Born And Bred at BFI Southbank on Saturday. I did fall asleep a few times. Somewhat due to the film's pace but also because I have been a little sick. Vomits and everything. You shall hear no more. But I generally...enjoyed it. The cinema guy was really strict. He told two people with hot drinks to finish them in the auditorium. Is it an auditorium? Do English people say auditorium? Am I English? Afterwards, we partook (?) in some serious walking. We walked down Southbank enjoying things and taking pictures of tree bark. We went to Tate Modern. I usually try to stay away from it but we needed the toilet. There was a good bit about cities and I frightened myself by thinking too much about the amount of people in Tokyo.

Then to the Old Operating Theatre which is very interesting because I like knowing about medical stuff. The obstetric equipment was wonderful to see. I couldn't read much because of my damned contacts. It was a shame. Then to the Design Museum. I do not like what Zaha Hadid does. She is an architect. With rubbish architecture. Her buildings look ready to stab you in the eye. And, her plans are too obscure. I was fed up with her! There was a pleasing Typography exhibition upstairs. I liked it. Then some anti-consumerism stuff which was a bit tired. For the sake of it, y'know. We commented on what price the contributor's books were selling for. Eh? Eh? We had tea. I didn't have cake. Too much going on with cake these days. I would have liked a plain sponge or chocolate. They don't sell those flavours. I've been very happy to find a vanilla cheesecake in Sainsbury's. Just vanilla and cheesecake.

My god. Salvador by Jamie T is the best song I've ever heard.

We went to the Mayor's offices. To curse Ken. Saw the Gibson Guitar Town Exhibition. My favourite was signed by Dirty Pretty Things (boo!) and it reminded me of Leon restaurants. We were also going to see the Jungle Book at the free open air theatre thingy. But it was quite rainy. So we went home.At some point we went to Borough market. I've forgotten when.

My mother went away to Switzerland (without us!) yesterday. We had a nice farewell day. We went to Slurp to eat. It was crap. The Wimbledon one is so much nicer. My food was too strong and I couldn't eat it. But the complimentary lollipop was well tasty. My mother bought us gifts of random DVDs, biscuits and fizzy pop. Then us kids had a slumber party in my room which ended at 3am. I woke at 7am today and I shocked myself by thinking it was the evening. It wasn't.

And lastly.



To celebrate Mr Stephen Fry's 50th birthday, I will be reading all his novels. And Paperweight & The Book Of General Ignorance which I just own. Back to back, in order. I like that sort of organised closure. I had already started his autobiography a while ago, but I lost it.

This entry has now officially ended.
