we entered the party zone almost two hours late yesterday, phil took “the wrong turning” so we were wandering around for ages. i got so scared because in the graveyard that practically engulfs the route people pay to have the equivalent of christmas lights flashing around the graves and through the trees it looks like people are there, so creepy. I was drinking pineapple juice all evening because i was driving and got to be music chooser for the tunes, apart from the fact that shanice and i really wanted to listen to greatest day but the official video isn’t “supported by the mobile app” bla bla bla and we ended up BUYING IT, i thought songs on itunes were 50p? this cost me £1! (oh well perhaps i should give back to the music industry once in a while), and it was the most beautiful moment, i was in tears laughing at how serious everyone took it, it was totally fist pumpin. then i grabbed the cat and held him in my arms, sweet baby toby.

some girl drove into the back of my mothers car last night as she was turning to drive down the road before mine, 200 yards from my house. she passed her test two months ago and she didn’t see my mum stationary, indicating, apparently it’s going to cost a minimum of £1500 to fix my mums car and hers had to be written off oops
ignition (remix) and independent woman played at work today

etsy

molly made me the most beautiful ring with billys face on, everyone should check out the other rings she has for sale on her etsy as they are all very lovely and at crazily low prices (if i do say so myself!) xxxx

i have listeNEd to this so many times and it’s definitely one of my favourite poems

“This, this is about women who will prowl 30 stores and 6 malls to find the right cocktail dress, but haven’t a clue where to find fulfillment or how to wear joy”

hi this is ruby coming from the world of FasHION, ha ha 
i call this outfit “look at your watch now, you’re still a super hot femaLE”

which totally shows off todays purchases, £1.30 hoop earrings, TURTLE NECK crop top from charity (£2.99) bargains, i also bought lots of artificial flowers so i can make a rookie inspired hairband and my mum treated me to a bunting necklace.
going to see the school play tonight to support my pals who have been working hard all year, i really don’t understand how even though i am a confident person i couldn’t go on stage and perform, i’d much rather take a talk or help in a class, i just COULDN’t stand on stage, so weird.  i have been practicing spoken word, (ha) and i’m sure i could perform “pretty” by Katie Makkai, perhaps i’ll sign myself to a open mic night or something to get over this performance shyness, er

some thoughts before i pass out from lack of sleep

apparently moonrise kingdom is coming out on the 25th now HOW EXCITING, i have watched the trailer so many times i know it word for word, ”what kind of bird are YOU” i’ve also been looking for a dress like suzys because it gives me a very hazy summer feeling and also something to wear to the cinema, cos thats the cool thing to do RIGHT

we are going to BARCELONA with school in february, how exciting is that? it is specifically an art and photography student trip too, which means it’ll be somewhat more interesting. gaudi! picasso! spain! pals! another thing, we are flying there which makes it much nicer, the main reason i didn’t go to paris was because of long coach trips.

my recent purchases on ebay are also very exciting, sarah and i have been organising our summer around the idea that we will have every singstar game, we are still holding out for take that but i bought r&b and ROCKS earlier; bootylicious, pump it, buttonz, what you waiting for?, celebrity skin, oh and i also bought a gwen stefani tshirt, sweet escape- era 

and no, i haven’t lost the plot completely 

sometimes this happens on photobooth

(sorry its one of “those” posts)

fuck-yeah-norwich:

Norwich teaches its students how to behave with fox pictures.

This one comes from the Student Union at UEA.

i hardly eveR reblog picture but this makes me very proud especially as it’s from norwich and because i think i’ll feel a little more comfortable when attending gigs at the union. i cannot comprehend how many times i have been whistled at, i have had my bum squeezed on numerous occasions since i have been attending gigs at the venue but when i was FOURTEEN at my FIRST GIG men thought it was somehow “OK” to do so, and still do, (however i do say something about it). i have had inappropriate sexual comments said to me whilst i was trying to enjoy a band and on one occasion some guy grabbed my arms and pulled them behind my back, i thought that perhaps he’d gotton the wrong person, not like that kinda behaviour should happen at a gig anyway so i shrugged it off, he then proceeded to grab my wrists again, tighten them behind my back and push me downwards, something i find very uncomfortable to even comprehend now, i elbowed him in the stomach and squashed through the crowd away. urg, who thought enjoying good music could be so, scary? I understand that even with this policy in place these actions will still happen, (sadly) but it is good to know that this behaviour is NOT tollerated. 

i was slightly late arriving at sarahs after following the bypass to great yarmouth instead of to wymondham, i got slightly distraught at the thought of driving the straight road to knowhere, but i managed to get to sarahs in good time, eventually… we looked through all her old baby pictures and decided we both peaked in 2010, look hoW CUTE WE WERE 
anyways, we bought all the snacks from onestop, fizzy sweets, crisps, fanta (see picture 2) and listened to pop party until the disc started skipping and then we full on analysed the natasha beddingfield album. for instance, track one sings “i love you i love you i love you” and track two is a total gIRL POWER anthem, single “i don’t need to be anyone’s baby…no i don’t need another half to make me whole”….anyway, we managed to get to cambridge in what seemed like no time at all and our irish voiced sat nav kept telling us to turn off at the “turd” exist. 

we bumped into rebecs on the way to the venue and it was almost like the audience kNEW sarah and i weren’t from cambridge as everyone kept giving us uncomfortable looks, we kept looking at one another and saying “do you think they know us… from the internet?”.  Sweet Baboo supported which is always a delight to see and slow club were brilliant, rebecca was sassy as usual and definitely keep on the look out for the new EP because from what they played from it, sounds really good! it was really nice to hang out afterwards too, even if we did get locked in the venue. especially chatting about defering uni and starting a band for real, bringing back the passion girls rebecs first band and chats about “what’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?”, “charles, you cANT SIGN A BIBLE!” hopefully it won’t be too long until we see them again, total babes!

then i got back to sarahs and threw up all two cans of fanta and crisps then talked about snogging boys, circa year 9 sleepovers, bump n grind
 

who knows

u tell em coop!
having a “slightly” relaxing evening after my art exam today, definitely never going to paint ever again for a project, felt pens and pencil crayons are muCH NICER and not nearly as messy

i drove into the petrol station and couldn’t work out how to get the hose to reach my car so instead of going to another pump i just drove off, the people in the petrol station were sniggering through the window 

everyone said i looked sassy with my buns, belle n sebastian are comforting me  ’this could be the time when somebody will come to say, ‘take a look at yourself you’re not much use to anyone’

story of a fat girl pt 2

its three o’clock already and i haven’t even started half the things i want to do today, dad and i went to hobby craft and i bought a 100x100cm canvas which we managed to get in with difficulty, so i’m really nOT looking forward to trying to get it in my car for the exam on thurday… i will worry about that later.

yesterday two girls walked past me saying “she looks so cool” and my teacher said “you look very coordinated” and on wednesday a girl shouted “i like your dress!!” out of the second floor window as i walked to class. So, it’s happened, i’m actually considered FasHIOnISTA (to people under 13 and teachers that pity me) lols

i fell asleep watching the office season 5 last night and woke up at 4am with michael scott saying “kevin i don’t know whether to make a fat joke or a dumb joke”
(click the pic for it larger n to play “spot billy”) 

i dunno GuYS

i am trying to perfect the double knot hair and i feel SO SASSY like harajuku sassy
my mother comes home tomorrow morning from her ten day holiday with my aunt, i think my dad is relieved she is coming home, we aren’t very good at anything, we’ve been setting the washing machine to the settings that sound the best “go for a spin this time!!!! now mixed load!!!! whenever we have frees or lunchtime we put on scissor sisters on the stereo and for a while i thought it was going to be like “hilariously acceptable” in the way in which my chemical romance is but we actually do like them we sing along ( i am anna matronic eat yer heart out) and i say which ones are on singstar and mine and sarahs highscores which is is totally acceptable we even started talking about going to london to see them but that was a step too far… 
anyways a+e by graham coxon is good ain’t it? 

i can’t wait for pay day and new shoes and new vinyls and paying back sarah for reading fest 

mermaid nan

dad and i went on a visit to nannys after vinyl shopping and i rooted through all her junk and found mountains and mountains of pictures, some are so lovely of all her trips and cats (she had 15 at one point) i’m going to scan them all in over summer and make a collective website with them all on so she can look at them on her computer and view them as it’s getting too difficult for her to carry them all as there are so many. 
one entry in her photobook was “i’ve been looking forward to seeing you again, the cambridge corn exchange is an especially nice venue, daniel” - when she saw daniel o’donnel …….

she’s got 60 years worth of clothes in her house too and she kindly (er) gave me some year 4-esque disco shoes, with a diamanté heart on each side, they are the ugliest but so cool at the same time, i think…. (maybe not)

also how cool is my aunt? she totally rocked tees and crop tops to the MAX and my nan still has all of her clothes

Happy record store day, y’all!
I’m actually very chuffed that I managed to get this 3 hours after the shop opened. It still remains a mystery how i won’t spend over £5 on clothes but will happily spend £23 on a vinyl, dad and I have been on a bit of a spending spree ah. Hope everyone got what they wanted, overpriced n all.

so many deadlines!!! so little time!!!
yesterday callum and i went on a spending spree, i bought this fancy shirt which is massive so i got away with wearing it as a dress. my photography teacher said “see ya later trouble” to me today, sarah is coming over for the first time in what seems like aGES and we are going to drink through the massive amount of bud i have and play singstar all evening, can’t WAIT. i’ve had a little look through the record store day releases and although there are quite a few i want to get i find it quite sad that on the website it says “supporting independent record labels” when a majority of the records are from large record labels selling them at increased prices (cough arctic monkeys, cough arcade fire sprawl remix £17?), my dad got kinda annoyed because “it lowers the value of the original”. However he’s been at the fitz william all day trying to make sense of the hole in the wall/stolen artifacts facade, oh dear.
i’m thinking about getting the supremes baby love and the slow club paradise vinyl, swooon

listening to ‘charmless man’ which reminded me of the libertines movie when pete says “i asked carl to learn charming man and when i next saw him he started playing ‘i met him in a crowded room…..’, he’d never heard of the smiths!”
