I was messing around with my aunt's old monkey and a pair of Tesco kids' sunglasses. I quite like the results...

Yesterday, all the dinner ladies, office staff and janitors went on strike, and we got the day off school! So, my friends and I went down to the beach and we had a party with a bonfire, marshmallows and sand wrestling. It was terribly relaxing, and the most fun I've had in a very long while.




Then, my friend Daniel, his friend Veight (pronounced 'Fight' - how awesome is that name?!), and I went to take the bus into town to meet people at the cinema. The bus driver, however, had different ideas. He turned up an hour late, then proceeded to drive like an absolute maniac until we reached town. We met up with my friend Naomi, but by that time we'd already missed the first two buses to the cinema. Finally, we found one, but in the end we arrived half an hour late anyway. But, just as we were entering the cinema, we found Jamie and Isla, Daniel's friends from the year below us. Apparently they'd been denied entry because 'they didn't look 15' and happened not to be carrying I.D. In the end it turned out great, though, because we decided to go for tea at Pizza Hut while we waited for our friends to come out of the film. We got cheesy bites and talked and talked about not very much... Most definitely one of the best days ever!

Gosh.
We're learning about radioactivity in Physics.
And I've come to a bit of a dilemma...
I don't know whether I want to be a graphic designer (which has been my sole aspiration since the age of 8) or a radiographer (which I only heard of for the first time during physics today) more...

Uh Oh...

I have these awesome suede boots that my mum bought me from Topshop on Edinburgh's Princes Street 3 and a half years ago. I love them to bits (quite literally), but I'm worried they don't have much life left in them... You see, I wear them at least twice a week, and have done for quite some time now. Even in the summer, I wear them all the time, just minus the tights underneath. Alas, they are developing large cavities (dictionary.com is my new best friend ;]) all around their heels. I went for a walk on the beach today, and where my feet would once have been bone-dry and completely protected from the elements, I took them off when I got home and there is now a small pile of sand with a well in the centre right in the middle of my bedroom floor.

I'm so terribly worried, because I really don't know what I'll do without my beloved boots!

So, in my entry about my friend Daisy and her anime, i mentioned my crap-bag of an art teacher.
I have decided the world should be informed of the dirty deeds of the seemingly innocent man. Brace yourself, I strongly dislike this man, and I take no responsibility for any damage to my dear readers' innocence during this post.

Mr. Mabon appears to be perfectly pleasant to outsiders. And indeed, I'm sure he's a perfectly nice person to anyone who is fortunate enough not to be taught by him. However, you have no idea how much my sketchbook has suffered under the hands of That Man. Not only does he think that any drawing performed from memory is 'unacceptable' as art, but I have heard of him - no, I did not personally witness the event, but I have reliable sources - actually ripping pictures from sketchbooks and binning them! He lectures us about 'real art' and what we should and should not be doing. But surely 'real art' is whatever you want it to be. It doesn't matter if people don't like it, if you do, then who cares? Not only that, but if he doesn't like what you're doing in class, he'll come over and say "Mmm... That's fine, but you know how I'd do it?"
Then he sits down in your seat, takes your brush or pencil and your picture, and starts drawing right over the top of it! I mean, he's sending pictures away to the exam board that he's drawn himself!

OK, rant over...

Hey guys!
I've been surfing the net (innit ;]), and I've got some awesome links for you:

nylonmag.com
amazing magazine
thestandout.blogspot.com
great blog
gurl.com
brilliant site for girls like you and me ;) i'm not a huge fan of chatrooms and stuff, but you can get great advice from the other girls and there's nearly always someone in the same situation as you. there's some cool advice - from experts as well as teenagers, though you could argue that they're the same thing! - and the games are good if you're bored - Make Your Own Road Trip is my favourite ;]

So, there you have it. You really should check them out.

My friend Daisy's obsessed with anime drawing and cartoons and stuff. She's amazing at drawing it, and she even drew a little picture of me with my bright yellow fiddle case which is adorable and stuck on my wall.



But, despite her amazing talent (which our art teacher at school passes off as 'not real' because apparently it "doesn't involve the proper observational skills required for real art". Pfft. He's a butthead anyway. (Probable rant on its way in the near future)), I've never really thought much of the whole anime scene. I mean, I love movies like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, but I've never payed much attention to it.
But anyway, Daisy stayed at my house the other day, and she showed me this Japanese TV series called Princess Tutu. Don't be fooled by the name - it's the most awesome thing ever! It'll make you wish you were a ballerina!

Episode One, Part 1 of 3
The only annoying thing is that you have to watch each episode in 3 parts.
