Ok so it's that time of year again in which I write down what has happened throughout the past 12 months. Despite this 2008 being awesome, not nearly so much stuff has happened (that I want to blog about) so it's gonna be shorter than the last one. Also, I haven't as carefully kept track of exactly when stuff happened, so it probably won't be perfectly chronological.
January: Saw Plain White T's at Shepherd's Bush. This was amazing because just before the gig I found out that Boys Like Girls, a band that I really liked, were supporting. Then, before the concert, I got to meet their guitarist and he fully told me not to get run over. Which was like, AWESOME. Then after the concert (of which we were front row and got high fived by Tom Higgenson, PWT's lead singer), we got to meet the band. Tom hugged me and Becci which was SOOO awesome and he told us to come and see him at the Roundhouse, so we did. More on that later...
February: Sister Act. This was kinda ongoing through the end of 07 aswell but it was probably some of the best times of my life. I made sooo many new friend who I am still friends with now and it was just such a laugh. We were a really tight-knit group and I will never forget the Drama Hall picnic or going to McDonalds. And neither will I forget that we stayed after school on several days just because we wanted to, not because we had to. That's special.
Ski trip. Totally utterly unbelievably incredible. Amazing. Spectacularly wow. Met Pete! WOO! We had sooo many laughs and I will never forget that week. Ever. ThankGOD I am going in 2009 too, I swear to you I've spent all of 2008 counting down.
Plain White T's at the Roundhouse. Well I promised Tom I'd go so I kind of had to really!! It was a really good night (:
March/April: Italy trip. Also was an amazing week. Again, made lots of new friends and I got to see some incredible things too. Lake Garda, Venice and Verona were all gorgeous. And the Italian shops = WOW. And the Italian boys too xD AAAHHH that's reminded me of the hot emos in Verona! That was so funny, we saw them and just ran up to them, sat down, got our photo taken and then ran off hahaha.
Nerifest: My first ever YouTube gathering. I met some amazing people. Can't really some it up better than this day actually changed who I am today. Cheesey, but absolutely true.
May: Plain White T's acoustic gig. This was soooo good! Becci and Nici and I got changed in the car after school in FOUR MINUTES and then when we got to London we literally RAN to the shop and when we asked where they queue was we were told, "There's no queue, you're the first ones here!" We FREAKED OUT. In the end only about 100 people turned up and we were a couple of meters from where the band were performing. Got to meet them all again and got my tshirt and poster signed :D
June: Finished my GCSEs. The feeling of walking out my last GCSE exam was kinda unforgettable. Especially as I had to stay an hour longer than most people to retake two Science modules '-_-
Eleanor leant me her Twilight books. This was the start of a long and beautiful relationship *cough* obsession.
July: Can't think of anything good that happened in July. I was waay bored of the summer by then.
August: I went to Greece which was epic, especially when me and my dad went to a volcano and climbed into it. There were vents in the ground with smoke coming out and the sides of the crater were streaked with bright yellow sulphur. And it smelled of rotten eggs. Laaavely.
On this holiday I read John Green's Looking For Alaska and An Abundance Of Katherines for the first time. They definitely deserve mentions.
GCSE results: Let's not even go there.
September: Started sixth form. Was just as good as I hoped it would be.
October: Saw Fall Out Boy. But I only went coz Boys Like Girls were supporting. They were AMAZINNGGGG and after trying to follow Paul DiGiovanni backstage and getting turned away by security, I did get to meet him again xD
November: My birthday. Was a somewhat quiet affair with just my closest friends in Pizza Hut, but it was a lovely, lovely evening. I miss it. Was my last birthday as a child and I'm glad I got to spend it with the people I spent it with.
Twilight Premiere. Was SUCH a good evening. We got to see ROBERT PATTINSON IN PERSON and the Britannia High cast and we met some hot boys hahaha.
December: Well on the last day of term the sixth form band did a gig in the common room. During that was my moment of realisation - I AM SO FUGGING GLAD I DID NOT GET INTO KEGS.
Twilight movie. OhMyGod. BEST FILM EVAH. Wow. Still kinda in shock about it to be honest. Even after watching it 5 times.
Hamlet. Even though David Tennant wasn't in it, it was still outstandingly good. Will never forget that performance.
GOT MY MACBOOOOOOOOK.
Ok reviewing 2008 was actually quiet anticlimatical in comparison to 2007. Ok, onto aims for 2009.
AIMS FOR 2009
- Get 900 subscribers on my YouTube account, www.youtube.com/AccioJellyBean
- Get all my target grades in my AS so I can go on Ski Trip 2010
- Get offers for all the unis I apply for
- See Green Day
- Be nicer to people I don't like because this is the mature way to behave
- Be REALLY nice to people who don't like me because this pisses them off a lot
- Be nicer to people in general
- Don't fall asleep in a cinema (deja vu)
- Join a gym
- Go to said gym regularly

- Get into the Christmas spirit
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2009
- Princess Diaries Ten Out Of Ten
- Ski Trip
- Young Americans
- Greece trip
- Summer holiday
- Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (it can't be possible for Warner Brothers to get any worse)
FRIENDS I HAVE MADE OR GOT CLOSER TO IN 2009 WHO ARE AWESOME
- Rhianna (aka Rac)
-Sarah (aka Sac)
- Aimee
- Everyone in the bit next to the common room, I love you lot so much, thankyou for everything these past few months
- James (although he pushes me in front of buses)
- Gary
- Dex (GAME)
- Tom (TWIT)
- Pete (Totally Addicted To Cock)
Think that's round about everything. I would just like to say that despite the fact that not as much happened as last year, I have changed way more than last year. I'm not more mature (in some ways, don't worry, the Busted pyjamas aren't going anywhere) and I have grown up a lot. And I've made some incredible friends. I generally think I've come out a better person than I was before. So in that respect, 2008 was way more constructive than 2007.
Bring on 2009 (:
