It's bad luck to do washing on New Year's Day.

I hate this particular date. It's always the same.

In the run up to Christmas, we don't make plans for it. When it comes to the night, no one else can be BOTHERED to stay up, so I'm left..ALONE. Alone to contemplate the past year....

Or in this case, the entire decade :/

Where was I 10 years ago? I was only 5. Ohh, those were the days. It's a bit scary looking at exactly everything that's happened in the 10 years since, to be honest...

I've hit some real highs and lows this year. I've been a complete fool for 9 out of the 12 months. Mistakes were made, things that never should've happened happened, etc etc etc blah de blah de blah zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I regret to say that there were quite a few of those moments.

But, then again, we had the complete insanity of Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeney, and the panto, in fact everything else dramatical, I met some LOVELY people, and spent a fair amount of time laughing and acting like an idiot, to make up for acting like a fool. I also had a complete dream holiday in the form of 2 weeks stateside (The hills of HOLLYWOOD AND the craziest place on Earth, i.e. New York) so why should I complain?

Where are we going to be next year? I'll be a sixth former (or a ninth former, as my brother calls it). I'll be, like, OLD ;)

As for New Year's Resolutions, I guess I've sort of made one, but I doubt I'll follow through with it :P

MOOOOOVING on, I've had an alright day; I ended up going to see St Trinians 2 which was actually hilarious, the plot is completely stupid :P David Tennant was disappointing though, and I used to really like him! Seems he's gone down in my estimations these days though, especially after Hamlet...what WAS that....

Next time I 'blog' (or rant, I suppose), it'll be 2010. *gulp*

Till then, blogger (s)....

New Year's Eve Eve

Such an imaginative title, don't you think?

I signed on today to see the words '1 follower'. I love you too, Stephen, and yes, you will get a comment in a moment.

Well, what a waste of a day that was. Surprise, surprise, the plans to go into town never came to anything, and instead my Mum STOLE the TV the ENTIRE day. I could've been sensible and done some revision since I keep complaining that I haven't, but nahhh. I sat with my brother on the Playstation for most of the day, and actually, we had a right laugh :)
I decided to try and be a bit musical too, so I forced my wonderful Dad to sit and play some good ol' tunes on the piano whilst I attempted to add lines in on my trusty bass. Even though it annoys me. And hurts my fingers, cos the shop set it up wrong.
No fear, I'm saving up for a proper one, and I might even have a few bass playing jobs lined up soon...look out if you want to keep your hearing...

Yeah, so I was lazy, and pigged out again on that evil pile of chocolate, but OH WELL.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow either, because as it's New Year's Eve, everyone suddenly feels the need to go over the highs and lows of the past year, and that ends up being cringeworthy and depressing.
This year, it's worse, because we are forced to evaluate the whole DECADE.
Pah.

Oh dear. *overdramatic sigh*

Well, off to leave this comment then. I'll never be forgiven otherwise ;)...

And in the beginning...

Hmph. It finally happened, fellow bloggers. Lo and behold, this girl is back publishing her personal life on the internet.

Shhh, don't tell Blogger, but I used to use..*shifty eyes, gulp*...LiveJournal. Well, untill reading certain other people's posts became a rather depressing business, and till it got to the point where I wasn't really posting anyway.
But that won't happen here, oh no. No doubt I'll be bullied into endless commenting etc etc etc now I don't have an excuse not to, and will therefore end up moaning about life on here. I already have a feeling this first post is going to be quite a long 'un, but by March it'll be an average of, what, 7 words per night?

Well, well, well. A week today we'll be back to normality. *shivers with pure HORROR at such a thought*
The strangest thing about this past week is that I actually haven't done anything at all. I've actually been LAZY, and it's the best feeling in the world :) And certainly well deserved after the hellish last few weeks of term. Chaotic barely covers it.

Yep, a nice family Christmas it's been. I was going to put relaxed in there, but since we're talking about the Taylor family, I guess that doesn't really fit.

I feel incredibly guilty though. For a start, I've barely touched the revision I'm supposed to have done for the next few weeks, and I haven't bothered to get up and see anyone either. The worst crime however, has been sitting at my little notebook here blasting out Muse with my bass amp cranked up full, indulging in way too much chocolate - after Christmas Day I sneakily smuggled a load of sugary goods into my room and they sit underneath my desk tempting me each and every moment I waste here. Even now. Evil sugary items.

And boyyyyy will I regret giving in to the temptation in a few weeks time. Looking into my crystal ball, I see myself running down to the gym at quite a desperate speed....
PAH, yeah, like THAT'S ever going to happen ;)

I haven't even written anything of a musical nature this holiday. Eurgh. I blame the lack of inspiration.
Some people think it's a rather strange habit of mine, composing stuff that's not even music coursework. But I find it *gasp* FUN.
In fact, why don't you go experience some of my mediocre creativity right now, and listen to the little bits of songwriting I've done on my very own MUSIC MYSPACE :)...

Does anyone even USE MySpace anymore?

Tomorrow I think a trip to town is in order; I've got a lovely load of cash that's just asking to be spent. It's sitting there now going 'spend me! spend me!' Well, it's not really. Imagine if it WAS.

Right, signing off now. Letting you get back to your business. Sorry for HUUUUGE post.

Ta-rah, fellow bloggers :D
