A stroll by the river side

Woo I'm having a good weekend hehe, I spent yesterday with my mates in 'ross-on-wye' wherever that is?! Somewhere near Wales. We went round this Maze thing, had a walk, played in the river (as you do), went to get a drink on the other side of the river but didn't stay long as we got attacked by a swarm of flys and then went home to Gregs where we had Chinese and Indian and chatted - it was like a really cute day! If you check out my flickr you will be able to see some snaps I took in the day, as usual I had my camera on me - I love just capturing the moment!

Anyway, on Friday I went to see HILARY DUFF! Wooo it was immense! She had some weird support band who no one was sure of who they were, gimmic?! lol I dunno but they were alrite apart from their cheesy song they did at the end. It was one of those songs where you change the name of the song so to fit it with where they were and with their American/Irish accents they screamed "BERMINGHAAAARRM" down the mic a rough translation of that is 'Birmingham. Me and Jen were in hysterics. Lol and then I had some annoying kid in front of me who went and brought a glow stick and waved it right in front of my eyes the whole night and nearly whacked me several times as she got overly excited.
I think the most exciting bit was when Hilary sang "someones watching over me" there was just immense excitement!! Woo! Anyway, I'm gonna go and...erm fly?! lol I dunno but I'll catch ya later :D

It'll click!

For some strange reason I'm not stressing too much about my exams yet, actually that's a lie I am stressing but it hasn't kicked in as much that there's only a few weeks left and then this year is done! It feels weird compared to GCSEs, I'll cope, I hope!
Anyway I actually nearly fell asleep in my Psychology lesson last night, I was just so tired after being out all night on Mon and then doing non stop work for 12 hours on Tues, it was too much! And I haven't thought much about Friday and how immense it is going to be, I'm just trying to survive to the next day in the week.

Also some exciting/ surprising news yesterday, Emily came wandering into psychology and started talking about the hectic afternoon she had just had and I was like well why it's only been like 3hours since I last saw you and she was like yeh but after school I went straight to the theory test centre and then home and I was like wowowowo back up, theory? what! how when what!?!?! And she was like oh yeah just done my theory (in a relax casual way that she does) and I was like oml how it go and she was like yeh got 100% ! Me and Luke were gob smacked, we had no idea she was doing it, we thought she was getting a bit obsessive with learning it at school but I just thought she was avoiding doing psychology work! Lol, well done though Em, very proud of you!
However, it has pushed me to start getting mine done now, ahh!

BTW, Miss Saigon was good on Mon, we had a really good time it's on Saras blog if you want the minute by minute actions lol!

Woo Hilary Duff on Friday hehe :D *crazy dance* - ooo I need an outfit?! hmm!

Anxious!

It's getting scary now, last day of hols and then I'm back to school tomorrow. It then means I have a week to finish off my music coursework and help others with theirs - like singing for their compositions and stuff or harmonising for Sara (love ya girl). I've also got my As-level exams in 4weeks *gulp* I'm so not ready! I really think I should be revising than writing on here but I need an outlet! Too much to do and so little time to do it in...

20 Questions!

This is some cool game which you can buy and it will try and guess what you are thinking in 20 questions - if it can't do it in 20 you win, but you have to be fair...anyways I've found it online for people to check it out click here!
When you've had ago leave a message saying what you were thinking and how many it guessed it in!
I was thinking of a Panda and it got it in 19 after asking if it was either a tyrannosaurus rex or Godzilla...which amused me! Have a go...

"The Passion"

Last night some friends from church came round and watched "The Passion of the Christ" and only 2 out of the 7 of us had seen it, I hadn't and wow it was deep! I actually prepared myself for it after hearing that people ran out of cinemas crying when they watched it. Before the film started we realised that we needed to prepare our hearts, so we prayed together asking that it would make us understand about the total sacrifice that Jesus gave.

When I used to take communion and say thankyou for the blood that Jesus poured for us, I don't think I ever really appreciated it enough, I guess I didn't understand about the amount that he poured and after seeing the film I know I will never take it for granted, if you get me- sometimes we need our eyes opening to the truth.

Throughout the film all I could hear were sniffles going round the room and when we watched the nails being smashed into his hands, oh my word the pain!! And he did that for me!

At the end of the film the room was silent and remained silent throughout the credits and even when I turned the TV off...silence! I thought the best transition from watching the film to reality was prayer so I thanked God for giving his son to die for our sins and for continually forgiving us! After 20mins of silence (seriously, I timed it) we began to talking and hugging as we said bye. When they left I got ready for bed, wrote in my diary and read my bible - I've been reading the book of John and it was amazing how everything Jesus said was put into the film, it was so accurate that the script of the play was in my bible - well obviously, because that's how it was!

Is your heart ready for Easter?

Day at the Zoo!

Woo, yesterday Me, Sara, Emily, Luke and Harvey (Mike) went to the Zoo. It was immense! We got the bus to town at 8am, the train from B'ham at 9:21am and then a taxi from Chester Station - we were going to walk or catch the bus but the taxi was a much better idea. We then got to Chester Zoo and hyped up on excitement and E numbers from the expensive smarties on the train we went and had an amazing day in the Zoo. We first saw the Elephants and they were sooo cute and we were making funny noises at all the animals to get there attention and stuff hehe.
We decided to give each other animal names, Sara was a Zebra because she looked like one with her black and white stripped top and an Emu because it was close to Emo haha, Emily was an Elephant, erm Luke was a Cabybara (those big looking guinea pig things), Harvey was a Tiger and I was a Rhino because we found out that one of the Rhinos was called Esther so it stuck lol. We have no idea why we chose the other names but it was fun.

Ooh and a funny/annoying part of the day was that I wanted to see the red pandas and they weren't there and then we went to find the Zebras for Sara because it would have been funny to get a pic with her and them and they were also not there.
Ooo we also went on a 'waterbus' in other words a boat round the Zoo, it was nice because the sun was out and Luke was gabbing as always hehe oo and we had a picnic on a bench outside it was cute.

When we wanted to leave we called the taxi people (they gave us their card-we were all prepared) and they came quite quickly and we got to the station and waited for the train to come, this time we had to do a change over in crewe but it was quicker that way. We got on the train and it was packed - luckily we were only on it for 30mins but me and Emily had to stand and t hurt and there was this annoying man who had this HUGE suitcase that took up the isle space one side of us and then another man who was sitting practically on our toes the other side so me and Em were balancing on a foot at a time constantly swapping feet to ease the pain. When we finally got off I nearly fell over lol. We then had to wait 30mins in Crewe for our train to come-the tiredness was hitting us now. We then got on the train and Em and Luke had a lil nap.

When we finally got home we were all wiped out but we had enough strength to eat a Chinese. It was great, we had like a buffet thing going on and we all started out eating with chopsticks - just for comedy value but we quickly caved as we were all really hungry and wanted to get it down lol. Then we had a sit and chatted and I put a funny vid on of a school concert that we were all in when we were in year 8 and laughed at each other. I then lent out all my good DVDs which has now left me with like a few that aren't that great hehe. My mates left mine at around 10 because we were really tired and poor Sara only had 2hours sleep.

It was a great day and we have many memories, I've left loads of pics up on my flickr if people wanna check em out and for more insight on the day check out Sara's blog where she mentions a bit more detail of the day- a bit too much detail in some areas (Giraffes) but highly amusing to read. x

No one uses tape cassettes anymore...it's the 21st century!

Hey! Lol my title is a bit random I know but my singing teacher keeps giving me songs to learn on tapes, it's hard having loads of songs on one tape because you can't skip songs easy.

Anyway, I've finally broke up for the Easter Hols, although my friends and I weren't so excited about the concept because we knew that we would be working harder at home than we have from the last week at school, in five days I must of only had like 7 lessons, not complaining but I get bored. Anyway I am looking forward to Monday because me and my friends (Sara, Emily, Luke and Mike - aka Harvey) are going to the...ZOO! Hehe kinda random I know but it's going to be great because we're taking the train up to Chester by ourselves and working out where we go and stuff and we'll be able to see all the animals and I want to see the red panda, I actually want to see the black and white panda but as far as I know they don't have them in England (if there is someone tell me) apart from in cute teddy bear forms. Then after the zoo my mates are coming round to mine for a Chinese and we're going to watch a film and we don't care what the boys say we're going to watch a chick flick wooo, most likely 'a Cinderella story' with Hilary Duff in- I will try to restrain myself from reciting the film, hehe!

I'm going to try and take loads of pics at the zoo so people can check them out when I put them on my comp, if I get my camera working that is. Ooo and there is a barn dance at church tonight :) life is good!
