I haven't blogged in a while so I'll write about last week, which was tres bon.
On Wednesday, the last day of school, myself, Imogen and Elizabeth exchanged Christmas gifts, as is the custom at this time of year =P. Lizzy got me a Boosh T shirt =D and Immi the radio series =D. We also watched the traditional school panto which, as usual, was hilarious but slightly disturbing. It is really weird seeing your male teachers dressed as old women, and even stranger watching a group of the most boring and evil teachers doing the Soulja Boy dance.
On Thursday we went to London to see Much Ado About Nothing, although I'd pretty much forgotten that's why we were there as we went shopping for about 5 hours beforehand. We were in Covent Garden and I wanted to buy a hat or two so found a hat stall but I thought we should look around a bit first. But, such is life, and we spent 4 hours or so looking in just about every shop with no luck, only to return to Rip-Off Hat Lady's stall and actually buy one XD.
We found a sweet shop called Cyber Candy which had all kinds of imported sweets, including Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. I bought them and was completely shocked to find out they were selling them for TWELVE POUNDS. They didn't even have any nice flavours, they were all the disgusting ones. Bloody ridiculous.
Anyway, Much Ado was really good, Zoe Wanamaker was Beatrice and the nononononono man from The Vicar of Dibley was in it, which was a funny surprise.
For some reason, I always get really bad headaches when I go to London on school trips and this time was no exception = /.
On Thursday we (all these wes mean Immi, Lizzy and I) went to see St Trinian's after sleeping at Lizzy's house. Oh and watching the final episode of The Boosh ='(. St Trinian's was really good, ridiculous story line, of course, but I really enjoyed it.
In the adverts just beforehand though, there was a trailer for series 3 of The Boosh, which was a bit odd as the series had just ended. I really wasn't expecting it and I screamed quite loudly XD.
Hmm yeah. So. I curled my hair yesterday and it actually worked AND stayed in today.
I took 300ish photos today for my 52 weeks portrait and hated them ALL. I'll post them here but they shall (likely) not be going to Flickr as they are not worthy. I'll try again tomorrow..
Good morrow.

SOOC: =O





ISO 1600:

Squished

I have no idea why, but I replaced my title banner and it's gone all squished. It's exactly the same size; all I did was switch the centre photo...GRR

Edit: Fixed! But now it has white sides. Oh well.

The things boredom and lack of sleep will do to a girl

The things they'll make her wear, anyway. The following are inspired by the majestic cat and the..err..contrasty..zebra

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday. Was. HORRIBLE.
I threw up 16 times and lost 6lbs. I missed my Biology practical which is essential to my coursework.

Today. Was. FANBLOODYTASTIC
I feel a lot better. Very achy and tired but I can just about stand up without having to hurtle to the bathroom.
AND.
I ordered Mighty Boosh Live tickets.
I cannot believe my luck.
They are only on sale TODAY!
And I was just thinking "Hmm...shall I turn my laptop on..? Is reading my emails going to make me feel worse..?"

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Roll on 20th October 2008!!

£675 down, £325 to go.

I may have mentioned that a few months ago I was lucky enough to get £1000 from mis padres.
I can't believe how much I've spent...I really can't.
This list more for me than anything else, but could be of interest to anyone who comes across it.
So, this is how I've spend it so far! (What I think are essentials are in grey XP):

Coat - £50
Phone - £80
Half a wardrobe (Yes, half, my parents paid for the other half) - £100
Photobook - £30
Clothes - £70 (I'm surprised it's not more like £700)
Christmas tree - £20
DVDs - £40
Christmas presents - £155 (Generous, aren't I? =D)
As revision books - £20
Haircut - £40
Halloween costume - £30
Family meal - £40 (The day we moved house we went out for a meal and for some reason I said I would pay =S)

Christmas time...mistletoe and...well not wine because it makes my tongue go numb and no one wants that.

I really haven't been feeling festive lately, which is weird because I usually start decorating and buying gifts at the beginning of November hehe. Anyway, I now have a Christmas tree in my room and took some photos to try and get me in the mood - and it worked! =D

And some Noely goodness =P

Even though no one ever comes on here XP

Booshy Goodness

Enjoy!

Just some photos

The Boosh is Back and it's Even More Raw.

Have I mentioned The Mighty Boosh on here before? I don't think I have =O.
Well, it's probably my favourite TV programme ever. I absolutely adore it, seriously, it NEVER fails to have me in hysterics. It also helps that Noel Fielding is the sexiest man alive. Only he could wear the things he does and have that hair and actually look amazing instead of a complete twat.
Anyway, series three is now on BBC Three and it's better than ever. I'll be honest though, I wasn't too sure when I saw the first episode. It was funny, but I thought maybe this series wasn't going to live up to its predecessors. How wrong I was. Episode 2 "Journey to the Centre of Punk" was a lot more magical and I was laughing throughout. Episode 3 (which I watched online because I just couldn't wait and will be on on Thurs 29th November) actually took a while to recover from. I doubt anyone new to the show will find it that funny, but I loved every minute simply because it was so rich in Booshness. I'll not give anything away to anyone who does watch it though.
I CANNOT wait until Noel and Julian do I a live tour although when they come on stage I'll probably start crying/faint/explode.
I have put a classic Boosh song on this here blog, enjoy.
Well, that's all I wanted to say really.
Haff a luffly weekend.

Everybody look at the moon..

The one that took ages to edit.

It started out like this.























Then I thought "bleh that's boring" so I played with some brushedsand ended up with this.





















But then I didn't like it so I deleted the brushes and used a wings one instead





















I tried to vignette but I had nooo idea how to do that so I added a layer of purple and made it slightly transparent at the edges and completely transparent towards the centre.


















Finally gave it some texture and TADA!

The title gets chopped off! Stupid Blogger...
It should say:

-so-sure-about. Oh, and a post about my week
=D

Reasonably ok but quite dull week. We had prizegiving on Friday. Unfortunately we couldn't spend this year making up words for the music the orchestra plays or marking the prize-receiver's outfits a mark out of 10 because a) we were made to sit in alphabetical order and b) we were the prize-receivers.
We had to go and get our GCSE certificates. I am so proud of everyone. Not cos of the GCSEs. Because many of those girls were wearing heels and no one fell over. Not even me.
We had to get a photo taken while taking the certificates off the random woman (who later gave the cheesiest speech of all time) which I'm sure is going to be horrendous.

Anyway, here's what the title of this beautiful blog was on about:
























'Nother version:




































In b&w:

Bang.

Went to a fireworks display today which was Queen themed so they played the fireworks in time to Queen songs, which was cool. Beforehand Immi and I mooched around town looking in weird shops and visiting Lizzy while she worked. Then we went to Pizza Express - yuummmm - and for once they had some focolate chudge cake! Last time I went to *insert name of park in place where I live =P* fireworks there were really good rides but today there were just kiddy ones =(. The fireworks were muy buen but, as I have done for the past 3 years, I didn't actually concentrate on them but on getting decent photos of them =D. This year it was harder but more fun as, unlike my Powershot A95, the EOS 400D has no fireworks setting. I kept changing exposure to try and get the best results - going from 1 second to 1/15th of a second. Those faster than 1/4 of a second didn't get the full firework (if that makes any sense) but I have really shaky hands so those that were slower had motion blur =(.
Anyway, these were the best ones:





















































































Oh, and here's Immi sporting her beeeauuutiful Zak Efron locket. Bahahahahahahahahahhahhaha

Bwahahahhaha

I've just realised the song over there <---- is apparently "Goodbye Mr A" by "The Ho"
HA!
It should say it's by The Hoosiers XD.

That is all.

Halloween

So, yesterday was Halloween, and as we've done for the past two years, Immi, Lizzy and I got together for a scare fest. (Yes, there were only 3 of us. I've told you we're social lepers, right?)
We all dressed up - Immi was a bee, Lizzy an evil, killer doll and I was Gogo from Kill Bill:

















































How creepy is that!?

























Bleeeuuuggh, my face looks horrible there!

Anyway, we watched Taken, some Salad Fingers, a documentary about ghosts in the London Underground and then The Eye, which had an ok storyline but wasn't at all scary =(. It also stole lines from The Sixth Sense and music from Romeo and Juliet =/. Oh and a man I thought was sexy (for a few seconds only!) turned out to be a woman. *Shudder*


Then today Immi and I went and saw Stardust. It has a Take That song in it XD. That's pretty much why I was it teehee. It was alright...one of those films which you don't particularly like but don't sit there thinking how poo it is. Michelle pfeiffer and Claire Danes' English accents were really funny and random celebrities like Ricky Gervais and David Walliams kept popping up. I'd probably give it 3/5. Worth a watch if you've not got anything better to do.

I'll leave you with more Halloween photos = )














































































This, my friends, is your WTF? of the day:
