Today was perfect.
You know when you're proper hyped up about something for ages in advance and despite being SO excited there's always a glimmer of worry that it won't live up to expectations? Yeah well that didn't happen XD
I went to the seaside with Joe (my best friend) and Megg (my amazing cousin) and we had such a lovely day :D We had lunch sitting on the beach and ice creams on the seafront and we went to the arcades and we went on the dodgems and we did RACING and we did bowling too :D And then we came back to mine for a big roasty dindins. Oh and we made an amazing dessert and drank Bailey's out of a ladle.
It was an amazing day (:

BEDA #5
I'm so so so so so excited to go to the seaside with my best friend and my cousin and my mum tomorrow :D
Today, I cleaned out my bedroom. Not, as Joe put it, "shoved everything underneath things", but actually CLEANED IT OUT. As in moved everything, emptied everything, hoovered, cleaned, organised and THEN reconstructed. I even moved my bed so that it's in a better feng-sui/zen position :D I feel all spring cleany.
Short blog today. Hope everyone's having a lovely April x

BEDA #4
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
These are some of my favourite lyrics in the world. I'm really not one to get all DEEP about lyrics because I went through that phase when I was 15, you know when you listen to My Chemical Romance and go on about how the lyrics match your sad, pathetic existence perfectly. But the lyrics to The Circle of Life really do jump out at me. The reason for this is that I'm absolutely fanatical about wanting to see EVERYTHING. One of my biggest fears is that I won't be able to see everywhere and everything I want to see, from the Northern Lights to whales swimming in the wild to Mount Everest. I just want to experience each thing in the world that there is to experience. The Circle of Life lyrics are basically all about this, and about how the world is basically so huge, with so much on it. I love the idea of it being a circle because (and I'm not just saying this because I'm a big fan of "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry") but a circle has no beginning and no end. I think this is lovely because it always makes me think about how you know when you're really good friends with someone and you say that you can't remember what life was like before them and you can't imagine it without them; that's like a circle because you can't see where the beginning was or where the end will be. I think it's good to think of life as a circle because as far as I'm concerned, same as how you can't SENSE what you felt before you were born, you won't be able to sense after you die. So you've got to just do everything while you can. You have to feel every emotion there is; from despair to love. And at some point we find our place and realise what it is we want to do, and then we travel the circle, seeing and finding whatever possible as we go. That's what the song means to me.

BEDA #3
One of my favourite things ever is that one song can triggers SO many memories. You know how like when you link a song to a certain time or event? And every time you hear that song everything comes flooding back to you. Here are some of mine:
Larger Than Life, Backstreet Boys - Holiday to Texas in 2000 because that's the song that was playing during the Shamu show at the Sealift Centre in San Antonio.
I Write Sins Not Tragedies, Panic! At The Disco - English Extension Trip in 2007 because that was the song that EVERYONE was listening to back then and we had Panic!'s album on repeat all week.
Fat Lip, Sum 41 - ICT lessons 2008 because me and Joe were like obsessed with Sum 41 and I made it my aim to learn every single word to it including the rap bit at the end, which I did and then I used to sing it all the time to Joe just to prove that I could.
Everytime, Britney Spears - When me and Megg went to see her at Wembley in 2003 because she sat at the piano and seemingly started playing it and then she suddenly flew into the air on a harness and the piano carried on playing itself and me and Megg were majorly disappointed to find that Britney had no musical talent after all.
Mambo Number 5 - Year 6 Leaver's Disco in 2003 because me and my old best friend mum was called Jessica and when the part of the song that says "Jessica" came on my friend was like "THAT'S MY MUM'S NAME!!!" and we were both really excited by this.
Super Trouper, Abba - Greece 2009 because me and some of my amazing friends and Drama teachers made up a dance routine to it on the beach (':
Dawson's Geek, Busted - Primary school assemblies because when we were in year 6 we each got a turn to pick the song that played for a week in assembly and I picked that one.
Middle Eastern Holiday, Hard-Fi - Turkey 2006 because I was so psyched to be going to the Middle East that I listened to this song the whole way there.
Limassol, Maximo Park - October 2006 because we went to see them and it was our first standing gig and me and Sarah made up an awesome dance to this song.
Champagne Supernova, Oasis - Ski trip 2008 because I was listening to that album on repeat all the way home and every time I got to that song I woke up. I have no idea why.
New Shoes, Paolo Nutini - Christmas 2009 because on the last day of term some boys in the year above who had a band did a concert in the common room and they played that and everyone danced and at that moment I felt elated because I had amazing friends and I loved my school.
Way Back Into Love, Music and Lyrics - Ski trip 2008 because I met Pete and I watched this film for the first time and I loved it and it became my favourite film.
Stuck In America, Sugarcult - 2007 because a friend of mine called Karl got me into this band and this was the first song of theirs he sent me and me and Karl were really good friends back then and listening to that makes me miss him.
I Wish I Was A Girl, Violent Delight - 2006 because Alex sent me this song and we listened to it all the time because back then it seemed so hilarious (':
Albuquerque, Weird Al Yankovic - Camping 2006 with Eleanor because we all listened to this every night and sang it in the gazebo
My Love, Westlife - 2001 because me and Lucy used to spend every weekend at eachothers' houses and when we stayed at hers we used to sing this on her karaoke machine in her conservatory and we used to make up dance routines and put on concerts for her mum.
Skatman - Italy 2008 because this was the anthem for that trip.
Low, T-Pain - Italy 2008 as well because the whole group made up a dance together for this song and performed it in a dance off to another school at the last night disco.
Hey There Delilah, Plain White Ts - It reminds me of Eliot because this was our song for a long time and he changed the lyrics so it was about me xD
Thunder, Boys Like Girls - It reminds me of Joe because it's our song (:
Tell me yours? x

BEDA #2
I'm on my second blog of April in 3 hours :D
Whilst writing the last one I felt really depressed. Now I am really happy!
Three of my friends (Eliot, Jamie and Matt) just popped by for half an hour :D They arrived at 1.30 and left about 10 minutes ago. It cheered me up so much! They were just passing through my town on their way somewhere so I told them to come over and I'm so glad they did because it made a really nice start to the Easter holidays :D We had a Jewfood 2am midnight feast in my kitchen and now I'm in a good mood. I feel like that has set the tone for the next two weeks. Hopefully anyway!
I don't really have many plans for this weekend AS OF YET. Later (as in, Friday afternoon) I'm making a video that I've been planning for a few days now and on Saturday I MIGHT be having my first clubbing experience, but we'll have to see if I'm brave enough xD
Psyched for the next two weeks now (:

Blog Every Day in April #1
Happy BEDA everyone. For the past however long I've said I'll do this but then never actually do. But I'm going to this year, for real.
I'm in a horrible mood so it's a bad time to blog because I'm really tempted to totally spill about how much my feelings have been hurt and how I don't like so many people and how I hate today so so much. But I really don't want to do that.
The gullibility of people today has actually made me question the intelligence of the human race. I'm not being funny but I have always questioned everything before midday on April 1st because that's is the obvious and clever thing to do. But my uncle managed to convince several people that he's moving to Canada (including his own father), a girl in the year below's mum believed that her daughter's best friend was pregnant and there was a news story about rocket launchers for car recovery people's shoes so that they can get there quicker and the public BELIEVED THIS. Seriously. What the hell. And in the common room at school today everyone just took it too far. The first prank pulled was funny because every piece of furniture was moved from one room. And it was kinda funny when the head of sixth form's office was police taped up. But then when each joke got taken further and further it just isn't funny. So many people will HAH BUMHUG me for saying that, but seriously, have we got to the point in our evolution when the only way we can get a few laughs is by telling the head teacher she has a detention? Honestly. Knowing my luck someone who had a part in that prank will read this so I would just like to disclaim myself here by saying that I'm sure if I actually liked school I would have found it funny. But the fact of the matter (for me) is that school is a place to do my work, get my grades and get out of. It bothers me that it has to be merged with all these (for me, pointless) frivolities that just take up time.
I'm not a happy Jocy today.. Any other day I'm sure that would have amused me. But today, no. Luckily today is over in 36 minutes.
