Sweet Sixteen.

So today is my birthday. I don't really feel any different, just maybe happier because this means I now have:

• money to buy nice stuff with.
• new Chloe perfume which is the nicest thing in the world.
  
  
• a new denim dress which is lovely, thank you Alice.
• technically my phone {although i got it ages ago because my old one broke but it was an "early birthday present"
• two chocolate cakes people have made me.
• the office, season 1&2 & christmas special on dvd. (fank yew!)
• other cute nice small stuff.

I am going to hopefully buy nice stuff tomorrow too with Daisy and Ellie when we go shopping before Funeral For A Friend (eek! : D).

Other than that, I'm going out later for a meal with the mother, sister and other Ellie, then staying at hers tonight. Should be very good I think!

I could follow you to the beginning,

just to relive the start,

maybe then we'll remember to slow down,

for all of our favourite parts.

All I wanted was youuuuuuuuuuuuu.

{only good song on brand new eyes? the only exception is okay too}

Desperately close to a coffin of hope.

Today was so nice.

Mainly due to the form I look after in year seven.

So on Tuesdays I look after 7S, Miss Stowe's form with Ben, and they're actually all really nice as is Miss Stowe, and quite funny too. Yesterday, she was absent, so Mr Vince (or whoever he is) took over and he told us that Miss wanted us to go back tomorrow as well. I said yeah sure kay kay, and then ended up forgetting about it until I walked past their form room today just at the end of form period. Then a bunch of kids walking out of the class started screaming happy birthday at me and singing along, and handed me a card which they had all signed for me (aww!) and a box of maltesers! I am guessing miss must have noticed that my birthday was next week on the school system. How nice is that really? I still go aww, just thinking about it. I just want to be like THANK YOU OMG next time I see them. I must remember to be nice to that class so much from now on, especially to Miss Stowe. She went and bought Ben and I, 16th Birthday cards and boxes of Maltesers just for helping out in their form for a few minutes every Tuesday!11!!!1one! So nice.

The man's wearing a hat, run kids.

I really like Armor For Sleep. Yes, I admit I do. For some reason, I didn't listen to them since year 8 and so I had ignored 'Smile for Them' {great record} and had completely forgotten about how much I liked them as a whole. Now I am just going to leave 'Smile for Them' on all night, and also 'The Way Out Is Broken' because I've missed them. I'll listen to the older stuff again tomorrow. May just listen to them and Funeral For a Friend all week! Ooh that sounds good.

Today I woke up (a little later than usual thanks to Mom not being here and my Dad letting us sleep in) and was sick. Not sure why, I just was straight away. Classy, I know. And then felt immediately better until I realised I had a funeral to attend today. In the end, sadly, people hadn't told me enough about it, so I couldn't attend : / Yet I was still stuck at home all day. I genuinely missed school. I sat watching Fawlty Towers. That did make the day worth it I guess, but I still kind of just stayed here sulking in a bad mood. Eating coleslaw.

Then this evening - to cure my boredom instead of going to the gym as I planned (I hoped I would be motivated enough, but no, not really)- I went on a walk down Olton Hollow with Howard, Niall and Alice. All was well, we visited Tescos Express and then McDonalds, because we are all obese and wanted to just get out of the house. Then on the way back, we had to walk through some small road and it was relatively dark. We were all on edge, and then Niall shouts "look at the creepy man getting off the 37, guys, he is wearing a hat and looks dodgy, RUN!" and so we al did. The four us ran all the way home, stumbling in the dark. It was kind of ridiculous now looking back. But at the time he was very threatening as he waddled towards us, his sillouette looking like the Penguin from Batman. Eek.

Yeah, pathetic day. That is all for now.

There will come a time when I think of you and smile.

This weekend feels as if it has gone on for so long. I am really dreading Monday, because I will then again be reminded of everything I haven't done which I should of, and be lumped with more coursework probably, which will consume all of half term (hopefully not, else I shall just bypass it).

Friday, I bought new clothes. I don't know if the pink sweater counts as new, but nonetheless I splashed out and spent £2.49 on it. Yesterday I went to town again too with Niall and Lauren. We ended up meeting Lauren's "friend" and his two friends. We were sitting in Cafe Rouge as they walked up to meet us all sharing (in a very classy manner may I add) cups of tea and a small pot of pasta from Tescos. They kept sniggering and laughing and in the end we noticed it was because of the couple behind us but I did the usual and felt paranoid and kept shooting glances at Niall to tell me if I had done something, said something or looked stupid. The arrogant one really looked like Jonny from Two Pints of Lager and A Packet Of Crisps. I told him this eventually and he seemed far from happy, but looking like the endearing, stupid character on late night TV is really not that bad. So yes, after the first initial awkward hour, they were quite nice. Then we inevitably went to Micca, because Lauren had never been before and I felt she really ought to be enlightened. Everyone should really, it is lovely. The man there is so kind, he even knows my name now. I will have to start begging him not to move back to Hong Kong I guess now.

I started listening to 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' by Smashing Pumpkins today after Daisy was shocked when I told her I don't listen to them, in German. I really liked actually, and the album flows so well. I shall listen again later tonight, although it was quite a long album. I've also been listening to a lot of Funeral For a Friend today, out of excitement for November 30th. If they play Juneau or Streetcar I may faint from being overwhelmed. This eventual stop, this break in the mold, I scream down this hotline just to feel somethingggg. That also.

Started listening to the Mystery Jets more and more this past month too.

But yes, other than that song, their whole album Twenty One is pretty good. And Laura Marling sings on it. Just an added bonus.

Besides that, I have done little. My mom's gone to Dubai until Friday, to see her friend who lives there, and so now I am left at home with my Dad and sister. They are going to drive me up the wall, help me.

It's not like I believe in everlasting love.

I deleted my old blog posts. Not sure why really, I just wanted to start again. Also please note: new playlist. A person's music taste can easily change my judgement on the person really. I can understand sometimes, when a person has little real interest or care for music, and so they just listen to 'radio songs'. Yet when people make remarks about how "music is their life" and then their iPod is simply full of the top 40 songs; now that is quite annoying. It's fine if you claim to love a band and a single is your favourite song by an artist but you don't love a band based on one or two songs. Whatever. It's not like I know anything about music really.

However, I do think this is a pretty good cover of The Beatles, below:

Not going to say any more about it though before I offend the Beatles and upset people.
