Did you know a female blackbird is actually brown? How ridiculous. And I thought I was illogical.
BANG - there went Saturday. Maybe it was more of a 'boom'? Probably just a 'poof' actually.
Something fairly swift, smooth and silent. That's how it moved.
Oh for Todd's sake, I'm waffling already and I've only just got on here...
Sattturrrrdayyyy. I remember when my Saturday's were overly dramatical and beautiful and consisted of driving up and down to Northampton accompanied by my Dad and ol' Vern on the radio, before spending my afternoon with a load of fellow strange dramatical loonies :')
Now my whole WEEK is spent with dramatical AND musical loonies.
Seriously....I miss my 'other' drama lot. The other day, my beautiful son/King/emperor/soldier/hippie Joe sent me this really nice text about how he missed me, and how he had put my Dad and I as influences on his music myspace. HAHAHAHAHA.
I still can't look at him the same way though since he blurted out he was gay and started flirting with the scarecrow (erm, we were at my Dad's Wizard of Oz production before you get the wrong idea...), which is probably very hypocritical, but it was the way he did it.
Still, over the last 5 years he's been my son (in Honk), my evil emperor (in Aladdin), my soldier (in the Snow Queen; I was a crow with a hat some of you would find very amusing because of your low maturity levels...lets just say it had a beak on it), and most recently the hippie to my goth in Godspell when we sang Learn Your Lessons Well and he made me skip down the stairs and we looked so stupid :) And I love him :)
But, as I would say to Ellingwoof (who I hope is having fun parking in the Centre), NOT in that way.
Flippin' heck, I'm onto one giant waffle in the sky tonight. Bored yet?
Well if you are, GET OUT (in a nice way), because I'm not yet done :)
Today I found myself harshly woken by my WONDERFUL, considerate relatives at some ridiculous time. Seriously, they might as well have brought a klaxon into my room and gone ERRRRRKKKKKK with it, at least it would've been more efficent.
Then pretty soon after, we all headed out to Bedford to see 'family' that I don't really know. Honestly, I swear each time we go to one of these 'gatherings', I see a new 'relative'. Yay for over-using apostrophes.
The journey was RUBBISH, traffic lights hate us obviously, and we got stuck in roadworks, jams etc AT LEAST 5 TIMES. That's not even 7.
So we spent the day in the same old pub, and I found myself explaining to all the old dears (bless them) about what GCSEs are, and that no, I'm actually I'm 16, and that no, I won't sing today and that no, I don't have a boyfriend... you know the system?
After a while I'd written myself a lovely little monologue to perform. Like a CV, but far more sarcastic and I didn't have to check through it a thousand times afterwards for spelling and grammatical stuff.
What?! A CV?! It wasn't anything like a CV?! Ohhhh get on with it Taylor and leave the poor reader alone.
Yeah, we got foooooood and caaaaake and coffeeeee though, which was fun. Then the odd pub owner went through a list of people's birthdays, and he told me that on 22nd January (my birthday), Queen Victoria died and so did Lyndon Johnson (the president guy, LBJ, history times).
Okay you pedantic people, so I KNOW they didn't die on 22nd January 1994. But they did die on 22nd January SOME year.
All in all, twas a straaaaange afternoon. I got back and finally sorted my Kilworth House application, fingers crossed the money will be rolling in soon if they like me enough.
And I'll be working somewhere THEATRICAL! Yeahhh, so it'll be waitressing, BUT IT'S STILL A THEATRE SO STOP CRUSHING MY DREAMS.
People are binging me on MSN, so this is your lucky chance to escape. Tomorrow promises to be....interesting. Locked in a theatrical place with the choir lot for BASICALLY A WHOLE DAY (I say that since I'm a lazy so-and-so who won't get up till stupid o'clock).
YAAAAAAY :D

Friday, 26 February 2010
Time's a-flying, but I can't see the fun anywhere.
AHA, tis the day of Frying young bloggers, which tends to mean that it is officially the weekend! WOOOOOOO!
Meh, it's not much of a weekend for me this time round, but it should be fun enough.
My Dad (who has been fine with me completely today after the oddness of last night) and I have been conversing about driving lessons. He keeps bringing up the bush incident. OKAY, OKAY, so ONE time I get on my bike and fall into a bush, so what?!
I'm obviously never going to live it down. I haven't got back on a bike since.
Yeah. He's like 'Oh ho, ow long will you be on the road before a bush comes along?', or, 'Ooo, don't go down that road, it's bush-filled.'
It's not funny now.
*Puts on confused 'whaaaat' stare in case Ellingwoof is reading although she's in Centre Parcs letting down the choirical side ;)*
Hmmm, today. More blurry English times, and then Maths, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Then Physics with some supply teacher person who was lovely but didn't do much, and then Choir.
Woah, I just have to stop here. Clicking, swaying, NOW WE HAVE A WHOLE LITTLE ROUTINE WITH TURNING AND HEAD MOVEMENTS?!?!?!?!?!
Unwillingly quoting HSM here, but I DON'T DANCE.
And because of the fact I'm a little alto shortie, I've also ended up at the front.
Oh dear mother, father, why couldn't Laura have given you some of her height? THEN MAYBE I COULD FADE INTO THE BACKGROUND WITH MY OUT OF STEP MOVEMENTS AND WRONG LYRICS.
Haha, I love you Laura :) Seen that Facebook page, best friends with a major height difference? HAHAHA :D
But yes. Back to awkward, swaying choirical times. Sunday is going to be flippin' hilarious, bloggers.
Finally this afternoon we had RE, and it seems this is a WHOLE UNIT on drugs, so for a little longer I am still able to say to you 'we did drugs in RE'. I get the best responses from my brother when I say that.
The teachers are getting all obsessive over mocking us again. With exams, that is.
History, French, RE, Maths. Blehhhhhh.
Oo, mother has just reappeared from the village quiz. Haha, our village is so stupid. If you win the quiz, you have to host the quiz the following year. WHAT KIND OF A PRIZE IS THAT?!
She actually tried to get me on the surgery team, cheeky! Everytime I help them out, it's not like I'm paid or thanked or anything....
Tomorrow I'm forcefully being dragged over to be nice to 'relatives' I don't even know, and eat shepherd's pie, which I despise.
Wish me luck.

Even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight.
I had a whole blog title planned courtesy of Daisy earlier (it's not QUITE as sad as it sounds), but mehh I've forgotten it, so put up with another lyric quote.
Can't Fight This Feeling. REO Speedwagon (Finn sang it in the shower on Glee).
Story of my life? ;)...erm, not singing in the shower that is....
FED UP.
Erm, today...History mock, oh lordy, the PAIN. Then Chemistry, and we didn't have Jason, so I didn't come out deaf and with a headache (he thinks the best approach to 'teaching' is to shout constantly), and I think I ACTUALLY might have understood something.
Then Hayley and I presented Stephen's Birthday Present 1.9 to the man himself up in the magical music tower, which was bizarre.
English made my head blurry, and then we all descended on He Come Chippy as Thursday is, of course, CHIPPY DAY.
Graphics was...interesting. 3D design....with computers. Ellen and Ellingwoof were trying to do impressions of my confused, 'whaaat' stare, PAH. And then it was all 'CHEERS MEARS' and Ellen found the smiley face tumbling mode, so everyone was happy.
MSN is about as sociable as I'm getting tonight. Mother has disappeared to some dramatical thing, and for some reason my Dad is being REALLY off with me (I actually don't know why :P). My brother is occasionally nice, when it suits him, which isn't often.
Bit annoyed about Mother though, flippin heck, beginning of the year she told me I shouldn't be all dramatical myself because it's a 'big year'. Rubbing it in my face with this whole play thing, she is!
I miss drama. Someone's just tagged me in a few photos from something we did years ago at YT, aha that was a good 'un, as Burty would say.
But now they're commenting all over it, which has resulted in a Charlie Chaplin-style sequence where I'm running over to my phone to shut it up, trying to sit back down, before having to rush over again etc etc etc...
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH nearly the weekend. Hang on in there, young bloggers.

Who needs percussion when you're wearing trousers?
To the 2 people who will (hopefully) read this and understand the title, I've had it in my head ever since it was performed earlier.
And Ellen, LOL at the Smothers Brothers people. Best Gilbert and Sullivan performance EVER.
As for Mariah, 'It's a Dutch folk song, from the Israeli section of Holland.'
I'm very CHUFFED (good word) since one of my newer theatre 'finds', Ryan Scott Oliver, has just emailed me back about his song that I love a bit too much, and he's going to sell me the sheet music. HAHAHA. It's just the actual fact I can sit on YouTube (not literally, cos that's not possible, 'course) and look at the guy and go HAHAHA, you emailed me.
I'm not sad, OR easily pleased.
Before, I've had a long email conversation with MRS Jason Robert Brown, composer Georgia Stitt. She's lovely :')
And then there was the time JRB himself ACTUALLY ANSWERED MY QUESTION ON HIS ACTUAL WEBSITE.
Yeah, *cough*, not easily pleased at all.
Had my first impromptu pianist job today (thanks Laura ;)). Meant I was able to play from a Wicked score for the first time since...erm, the week before half term doesn't count.
I lost my Wicked book TOO long ago, and my Songs for a New World copy :(
Everybody 'aww' with me here...
AWWWWWW.
I hope you 'awwed' in your mind.
We have a History mock tomorrow. Oh help.

Reacting - and that's not acting again...
I feel like an IDIOT. A stupid IDIOT. I swear there was a time when I actually used to be organised and remembered everything and was on time and the like. These days I'm practically useless.
I'd like to take this opportunity to further apologise to Hayley. Tomorrow, break, I WILL remember. Hmmm.
My excuse? 'Sorry, my head's been a crazed mush of blehhh since forever.'
*Guilty/awkward/ashamed face*
OHHH Todd. I don't really know what to put tonight. Erm...erm....
I suppose I could mention choir, and the terrifying prospect of the swaying AND clicking (yes, simultaenously, yes, I know I'm not a dancer) that Mr Dr has choreographed for us during Man in the Mirror. Hmmm, how to describe it...chaos? Hysteria, maybe?
Did make me laugh, at least :')
We'll just ignore the sly, anti-Alto comments AGAIN: "Altos, you let the side down."
PAH.
My brother is (attempting to) recite the McDonalds rap in his room. That's about as exciting as life gets right now.
ELLINGWOOF! Thanks for the second half of Glee :D
I LOVE IT! :D :D :D
Off to find something productive to do I think....

You're my guiding lightning strike.
7 followers?!?!?! 7 FOLLOWERS?!?!?!?! Do my eyes/rubbish Specsavers spectacles deceive me?!?!
7 is the holy number INDEED.
I'm annoyed. And frustrated. And a bit anxious. Anyone surprised? Nooo, didn't think so.
Haha, been reliving my oh so dear YT memories by roughly explaining to Laura about Honk. HONK IS BRILLIANT. Youtube?
Basically, it's the story of the ugly duckling, done as a musical. I was lucky enough to be cast as Ida, Ugly's mum, and it is the most fun I've ever had in a role (Okay, so Beggar no.2 in Sweeeeeeney comes very close....God that's Good will always rank highly).
Oh good Todd. She's found the talent show clip. *runs away*
HAHA, I'm WELL applying for a job. Decided it was time I actually went and earnt some cash instead of moaning about the lack of it.
I DON'T WANT MONDAY TO COME.
Soooo, today. Well, spent my morning listening to Julie Atherton (theatre IDOL who I'm actually in love with), Scott Alan (OHHHH incredible composer guy who gets all these big theatre peoples - erm, Kerry Ellis?!?!? - to sing on his albums) before stumbling upon all my old cast recordings. OHHH FOR BEING A THEATRE GEEK :')
I then actually did some work, which I'm pleased about; I've been meaning to do that all week...
Got bored, so I joined my Dad on an expedition to my Grandad's house (before stopping off at the Co Op, woahhh risky, the Co Op somewhat scares me). My Grandad has this fairly big, old house with a huuuuge garden, and my brother and I love going there :)
Grandad lives on his own there bless him, and it's got very cluttered and a bit dusty over the years to say the least, but he's lovely and we wouldn't want the house any other way :D
My Dad's been rummaging around in the loft there exploring (he's just a big kid :P) and he's come across some really valuable speakers (crazed musical obsessions run in the family) and a load of newspapers from the 30s and 40s which are also pretty rare (I think the Queen's corrination is there too?).
EBAY TIMES!!!
Anyway, one of the best things for me about the house is the really nice piano hidden away in the old dining room. Unlike the evil music tower pianos, or the tuneless, cold one in my house, this piano actually sounds damn good :)
Yeah, so I sat and played Sweeney from memory, and sang my songs, and tried and failed to improvise, and bashed through the pieces for my 'exam', the one I'll never actually end up taking.
So yeah. WOAH, where did all THOSE words above come from?!?!?!
You can tell I'm bored.
Laura is musing (no pun intended) on why we spend our evenings here stuck on the internet and all these awful social networking sites. She wondered if we're waiting for something, to which I immediately replied Jesus, but everytime I mention Jesus I feel bad and think of the scary blogpot site, and I actually get a bit worried I'll get struck by lightning or something.
WOAH, she's actually just put 'if you want Jesus go to blogpot.com'.
I think God/my subconscious is trying to tell me something.
I'm leaving before things get weird.

The cushion is the essence of the chair!
Woah, I've just said to Hayley, the house is flippin' quiet tonight. Too quiet, in fact. What is it with 'early nights'?! NOT LIKE THAT YOU DIRTY MINDED PEOPLE.
My Mum is ill, you all know what that means....Bethany and her idiotic immune system will soon be down for the count....
Well, there you have it kids, that was half term for you. One more weekend and POOF, back to school, YAY, we just LOVE school, and stress and exams and actual work and a lack of lie ins...
Sometimes I'm too sarcastic for my own good.
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH INSPIRATION!!!! Ohhhh, 2 songs in the space of 2 days. Bit like London buses really, you know, wait forever and then 3 come at once. One song is another 'will probably end up on Myspace' number, the other is getting added to my 'theatre stash'; it's all JRB/Stitt/Bucchino etc inspired and stuff, and it's actually written for a GUY. You have no idea what I'm waffling about, so I'll shut up.
Oh, but talking once more about unknown, obsecure Broadway composers no one else knows about, I've found another and he goes by name of Ryan Scott Oliver and he's awwweeesommmmeee and everything, and just woah. And Ellingwoof, you might like this, there is this really good theatre singer on Youtube called Natalie Weiss - type in Natalie Weiss and Alto's Lament and it's HILARIOUS! If I could get the sheet music that'd WELL be me in the next concert.
Mehhhh bored and can't be bothered to go and check my phone. Which is stupid since I complain when people don't reply to me. But SERIOUSLY though, you text me, I promptly reply, then you either don't bother to text back or take 7 hours to do so?!?! What is THAT about?!?!?!
I don't really know what else to put. I'm in a Rent mood. I need to watch Rent again. Someone appear at my door please and come and watch Rent with me. We're out of Pepsi and my brother has nicked all the Drumsticks out of the fridge, but who cares, we have Rent.

I always feel no more than halfway real.
Before tonight's mini-waffle, I'd like to just confirm that the address to this blog is in fact imconfuuused.blogspot.com and NOT imconfuuused.blogpot.com.
That is the scariest website you'll ever see, as Ellen discovered while making a typo today. Hi Ellen (she had a haircut today).
I'm exhausted because Hayley is insane. She also happens to be the definition of awesomeness. I'm proud to be her bass player/pianist/composer/biscuit muser/fellow lunatic.
I need to work. Baaaaaaa Chemistry.
I like doing this whole shout out thing, so HI LAURA and your Wicked obsession, and ELLINGWOOF, T-Swizzle came on in the pub and I burst out into song and thought of you :)
Stephen, get yourself online fool. Hello, btw.
Laura should get the CORRECT, nicer Fiyero on her Facebook. EVERYBODY LOVES NORBERT.
:O :O :O :O :O :O
ELLIOT MINOR HAVE DONE A COVER OF FIREFLIES :D
Tis AMAZING, everyone go find it NOW NOW NOW, especially you Ellingwoof ;)
Notice the use of caps lock?!?!?!?!?!?!?! IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOOOOOOOD!

The Twitter Revolution
I have succumbed. I too have jumped on the bandwagon, and as of yesterday afternoon have been 'tweeting'. Don't know why I didn't mention it last post....
Yeah.
Penicillin, fed up of the stuff. Eurgh. Makes me feel blehhhh.
HAHAHA, best thing that happened to me today? Finding some random code in a copy of the TV Times giving me 10 free music downloads. It was like I'd struck (a small puddle of) oil.
Today's Valentine's Day. Pah. Not that I'm a bitter, jealous singleton or anything.
I just don't see the point.
Stupid commercialised day.
It's like how sad Easter has become, nowadays it's all about the chocolate. Don't get me wrong, chocolate is great and all, but we have to draw the line somewhere....
OHHHHH my absolute Todd. It's like back in October when I saw Santa-related items in Sainsburys. Yesterday, I was in Snosirrom (that's Morrisons for the people who don't know/can't be bothered to work out what Snosirrom is) and they're selling hot cross buns!
I turned to my Mum with a real life :O face, but she didn't seem too bothered.
I feel like all I do is let people down at the moment. Hmmm, I feel bad.
And tremendously self-orientated :/
Off to go hide away in a corner somewhere unnoticeable.
Yeah.
Penicillin, fed up of the stuff. Eurgh. Makes me feel blehhhh.
HAHAHA, best thing that happened to me today? Finding some random code in a copy of the TV Times giving me 10 free music downloads. It was like I'd struck (a small puddle of) oil.
Today's Valentine's Day. Pah. Not that I'm a bitter, jealous singleton or anything.
I just don't see the point.
Stupid commercialised day.
It's like how sad Easter has become, nowadays it's all about the chocolate. Don't get me wrong, chocolate is great and all, but we have to draw the line somewhere....
OHHHHH my absolute Todd. It's like back in October when I saw Santa-related items in Sainsburys. Yesterday, I was in Snosirrom (that's Morrisons for the people who don't know/can't be bothered to work out what Snosirrom is) and they're selling hot cross buns!
I turned to my Mum with a real life :O face, but she didn't seem too bothered.
I feel like all I do is let people down at the moment. Hmmm, I feel bad.
And tremendously self-orientated :/

Well, what were you expecting?
Ever had one of those moments where you feel terrible and the only thing to cure it is an impulsive iTunes spree, even when you know you don't have the money? Yes? No?
Yeah, well, I had one a little earlier.
Mainly because I've had disappointment looming over my head like a dark storm cloud all day, but also because Hayley, who is just the definition of awesome right now, recommended Regina Spektor to me, and I think I'm in love.... OHHH how come I have never heard any of this before?!?!?!
Also ended up indulging in some Enter Shikari, All Time Low etc etc. Whaaaaat, I've wanted them for ages....
Finally replaced my bass strings today, IT FINALLY SOUNDS NORMAL! HA!
Flippin' heck, you can tell I've had an interesting day.
I sound like such a sad person.....or just such a moaner....
Bring on this week. And make it good, because tomorrow will be depressing enough.

They could write an Emmerdale episode based on my life, but still no one would believe it.
Recently, I haven't bothered to post.
This is outrageous, Taylor. Be ashamed you fool. Be very ashamed.
Oh well, maybe things will pick up this week, since it is....
HALFFFFFF TERRRRMMMMMMM!
February half term never feels right to me though, I don't know what it is, but it always comes at a really strange time? There's Christmas, then my birthday crops up out of the blue, and then it's half term. Odd.
Anything of any note occur this week?
Meh, more foolishness, more bizarre times, and more stress. Saw the summer exam timetable. Oh my absolute Todd. No wonder they say 6th form is heaven, GCSEs must actually kill you.
And I'm ill again, STUPID RESPIRATORY SYSTEM O' MINE. Same as what I had before Christmas. Eviiiiilllllll.
Luckily, the doctor gave me an 'emergency' pack of Penicillin then, which I've prescribed myself now.
I'm certain I must be immune to the stuff after they gave it to me SO much last year.
Think I'm going out tomorrow morning, guess I need to get away and try and relax a bit. I'll try and steer clear of shopping though, I have no money whatsoever :/
I NEED A JOB!!!
Plans for this week? Chemistry, maths, blehhhhhh. Lord of the Flies, ewwwwww.
Sleep (WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), hopefully band meeting at Hayley's for the first time, and Laura wants to do something too (just to say, WICKED TODAY WAS QUITE INCREDIBLE :D :D :D).
Off to do not a great deal now, ta-rah :)

Ohh dear, the carbon fell on the floor.
It's been another one of those days.
Yes, 'those' days.
As I've taken great pleasure in telling any poor old randomer, today the world has been a completely bizarre blur, and everything has been at least 10x funnier than it actually is.
The reason WHY?! I have no idea :)
I'm not even sure if I like it, it all feels a bit odd if you ask me.
Hmmm. *waits for paragraph summing up stupid day to ensue*
Biology, and something to do with squirting glucose and starch into Pepperami (sp?) packaging (she calls them Visking Tubing or something, but I think she lies). Florence gives me my birthday present, 3 weeks late, bless her :P That's Amazon for you...
Err, Maths. (We had Double Maths today, in fact) I get fed up. Nothing new there.
RE. No Hillier. Strange supply person who can't really control the class puts on a straaaange powerpoint on drinking and smoking. (Twas strange)
CHOIR, Barstow finally puts Stephen in his place (hahaha ;) You're loved really, foolish boy), and us Altos don't recieve anymore 'comments' from Mr Dr. Trouble ensues (such a good word) after he sets the choir loose doing Man in the Mirror WITHOUT scores. Sha-MONEE.
Soup, texting, hysterical yet wonderfully intriguing and lovely phone calls (you know who you are ;)), more texting (thank Todd for contracts), curry, pianoness, being cool and listening to ol' musicals on the iTodd.
Friends on the TV, friends on MSN, more soup, blog.
HAHAHAHA Graphics mock tomorrow, now that IS a reason to be all hysterical, since no one ever understands a word of what's down on the exam paper. I think it's spread over 2 lessons though. 'Fun times'?
Confusion can be a beautiful thing if your world is as blurry as mine is right now :)
Is it wrong to still watch (and enjoy watching) Disney Channel? Phineas and Ferb is actually SO funny.

Thou shalt not squash the face of Matt Bellamy with a Morrisons bag.
I feel like a rock star. It's half ten, I'm a little bit overtired and the world is a blur. I'm sitting here with The Smiths on my iTodd, my bass hanging from my shoulders, and Kerrang thrown across my desk. I'm sitting here writing songs with my new musical partner in crime via MSN.
I've had such a nice, relaxed day, I only had one bit of Maths to do. GOOD TIMES.
Woah, 20 minutes went by in a flash. That's time for you, friends.
Facebook has apparently changed again, mine hasn't yet, the live feed is just messed up and is TREMENDOUSLY irritating. Eurgh, I hate change.
Tomorrow I'm giving up my Sunday afternoon for choir. FOR CHOIR. Ohh, the things we do for love.
LAURA! I think you should know, today I spent a very good £4 on a beautiful Muse poster detailing every single bit of the album artwork from the very first day of Muse. It now has pride of place next to my giant Freddie portrait (my musical HERO), on the very wall in front of me.
Please don't steal it. In the middle of the night.
Erm, so today? Went to the place of my birth (ol' Kettering), spent too much money I didn't have, did some maths, ate pizza, watched Glee again, watched Come Dine With Me, ate din dins, Chitty Chitty with the father.
Oh, and I bought a lottery ticket and got one number.

"I need a more neutral name" "How about Joey Switzerland?"
Today has been a GOOD day, fellow bloggers :)
You ask me why, I tell you I don't have a clue. And the cynical idiot inside of me is just waiting for something bad to happen to make up for it.
I have pen on my arm and I have no idea how it got there.
But yeahhhh :) Just random lovely moments throughout the day all added together to make me feel rather AWESOME.
That's such a good word.
I have to say, SO many people have come up behind me and scared me today though, I think 64% of the attempts were unintentional, but still...
Today I have felt SO loved.
Whether it's sending emails with bad English to English teachers in form, accidentally headbutting innocent bystanders (sorry Stephen :P), getting kidnapped and dragged away by crazy people (cough Hayley cough), bizarre Physics lessons and doing drugs in RE....NOT like that....
There's nothing quite like hearing the voice of the Barstow booming TAYLORRRRRRRRR from the top of the music tower to make you feel special, or, now I come to it, the entire alto section getting regular compliments from Mr Dr ("It's nice to be able to hear the alto section..." - PAH! It made us feel special, but hardly in a confidence-boosting way...).
It's like singing opera with your Dad, who then proceeds to put the 2008 GCSE Music exam CD accidentally into his iTunes, and therefore onto his iTodd. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Plus, it's also rather AWESOME to sit back down on the bus, dig out your Blackberry and find a message that reads 'BETH WE LOVE YOU.'
Ellingwoof, Laura etc. Lol at your AWESOMEness.
Within 10 minutes I'd planned to build Huncote 2.0, via text. Ohhhhh yes.
I'd just like to take this opportunity to be awfully cliche (with an accent on the e cos I can't remember how to put them in), and to thank every single person who has made me smile in some way today. I'm so happy, even if I don't know why and it's plain odd.
I love you all you INSANE people :)

So I drank 1, it became 4, and when I fell on the floor I drank morrrree...
This lack of blogging from me is rather shocking.
I haven't forgotten about it, I still read everyone elses.
I found this quote earlier in the book I'm reading at the moment, and it seems to sum up my (cynical) views on life right now:
"The trees have inquisitive eyes, don't they? And the river says, - 'Why do you trouble me with your looks?' And you seem to see numbers of tomorrows just all in a line, the first of them biggest and clearest, the others getting smaller and smaller as they stand farther away; but they all seem very fierce and cruel and as if they said 'I'm coming! Beware of me!'
But you, you can raise up dreams with your music, and drive all such horrid fancies away..."
Twas probably the most thought-provoking passage I have ever read.
To quote Leo Frank in Parade (OHHH JRB :D), I have nothing more to say to you.

Everything about you is so easy to love...
Well, that was a rubbish day (with a fairly nice ending).
I'll cut out the rubbish - i.e. PE, french, Physics exam (which I have absolutely failed, no question, twas awful and made me cry inside).
Music was...interesting. We had to put up with 'lack of piano' (Nick: "That sounds like a syndrome!"), and I ended up teaching Ellingwoof more guitar chords, and she finally gave me a hard copy of her WONDERFUL poem, and it is now on my wall next to Ellen's cartoon. (I really used a lot of 'ands' there)
There are times when I feel utterly BLESSED to be able to count such incredible people as friends.
Concert Band kidnapped me, which was fun (optional bass notes! MAMBO! saliva!) and then there was the exam which we will speak no more of.
HAHA at Glee tonight, they had Queen music AND KRISTIN CHENOWORTH, I LOVE her!!!! Actually brilliant, she is.
Tomorrow is Mentoring Day, and by my calculations I'll get about a 15 minute lie in. Pah.
At least I get the appointment over and done with, meaning I can go into town and replace my bass strings...
That was the problem, I've only had the bass a week, and the E string is literally about to snap according to my Dad's student! PAHH!
So much for buying shop demo basses.
