Bracey bracey

In six days time I will have braces on my teeth! Can't say I'm looking forward to them, I'm actually a pretty nervous about having my mouth held open for upwards of 40 minutes in case I need to cough... One thing that will be ever-so-slightly fun will be the ultraviolet light used to glue the brackets on, and the cool shades you have to wear when it's applied.

I have the school concert the day after. That's gonna be fun!

Hair (or lack of it)

I've had a haircut! I won't post the results here because a) I'd rather not post pics of myself and b) It doesn't look so good right now... It's quite a dramatic change actually, about five inches were taken off at the Supercuts salon in town, within just over an hour of me deciding to (or my mum telling me to) get it cut. I'm really happy with it! While out, I also purchased the Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark soundtrack and a U2 WAR T-shirt.

Happy Breathe Day!

16th of June, 9:05, doorbell rings, man at the door says if I wanna stay alive a bit longer, there's a few things I need you to know... three!

Mangotsfield Festival

I had a great time today at the annual Mangotsfield Festival with Em, Chris and Chelsea; we bought random-flavoured ice creams (mine was cherry, apple and lemon), perused the wide variety of stalls, and sat in the bright summer sun (luckily I brought my shades!). We were just ambling around, looking at stock the library was trying to get rid of, when I found a U2 CD inamongst it. It turned out to be an exclusive All That You Can't Leave Behind promo EP from a newspaper, and I suddenly gained a keen interest in the content of these precariously stacked boxes. I discovered the full Batman Forever soundtrack, pounced on Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1, and was just about to leave when Chelsea picked up the Discothèque CD single! Perfect! Our shabbily organised outing to the Cleve rugby club grounds had yielded me 4 albums, 2.5 hours of music, and the opportunity to go mad in public, as well as help fund our local libraries. And I was home by 2:30. What could be better?

(As I write, the discs are scattered around the laptop after being uploaded to iTunes, except for OS1 because I already downloaded it, thinking that an event like this would be impossible, and basically being impatient.)

I should be revising...

I haven't posted a lot recently because I have a history exam coming up which is worth 35% of my final grade. Also I was feeling a bit ill at the end of May, but I'm feeling much better now! On the 29th, Em, Chelsea, Nina, Elisha, Jasmine and I went ice skating to celebrate Chelsea's birthday (which is in just over a week's time), then to Flavourz for the all you can eat buffet, which turned out to be very nice. On Tuesday it was my dad's birthday; we celebrated with a meal and a game of Monopoly at my grandparents' house. It's now the holidays, but rather than relaxing, I really should be revising...
