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.
