Dressy Jessy

Yesterday, as it it is supposedly Spring now, I went shopping for warm-weather-ready outfits. The song "If It Don't Fit" by B*Witched rooted itself in my head and accompanied me into the changing rooms; this perhaps made me more discerning about my clothing choices. I tried on multiple tops and dresses to no avail, until a shimmery lace navy dress graced my figure - and fitted perfectly! I also found a nice stripy vesty top and a denim jacket which would be perfect to wear to The Big Reunion Tour show I'm going to, if it fitted. Hopefully I can exchange it for a better size.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday's alright!

Today I listened to Zooropa (the album) all the way through for the first time since I posted random snippets of the lyrics to Chelsea on msn and she thought I was going mad (that was fun...), and it was very enjoyable, from the first solemn, mysterious chords of the title track, right through to the last wails of the strange alarm sounds that close this 1993 gem.

This was while I was on the way to town for shopping purposes, and I did quite well, buying:

• U2 Best Of 1990-2000 plus B-sides for just £2
• Scouting For Girls' eponymous debut album for £2.50
• New Kids On The Block: greatest hits - £2
• U2: A Diary (Book) - £4
• Bono In The Name Of Love - £6

There are now only 2 days of the holidays left, and I have quite a lot of revision to do, but I'll post again when I can!

Funderworld!

Em, Georgina and I went on a trip to Funderworld, the travelling themepark, yesterday, which was great! I loved the ride "Freak Out!"; the feeling on it was incredible, as though we were soaring high above the park, and although it was over in a few minutes, we felt euphoric for some time afterwards. Other highlights included Magic Mouse, which we bought a less-than-flattering photo of ourselves on, and another ride which I've forgotten the name of, but I remember one of the people painted on it looked a tad like Bono... ;)

On the subject of Bono, last night I dreamt that I met him and Bradley Walsh! I can't remember it very well, but I think I took Bono to school (why?), and woke up soon afterwards.

Why my leg hurts...

This morning I was surprised to receive a text from Tom, asking about science table meeting up later on. Eventually it was decided to go to Pomphrey Hill (again) and Em and Georgina were invited to make up the numbers, since Chelsea was busy and Chris Donati is on holiday. In the end only Rosie could come in addition to Tom, his sister Katie, Em, Georgina and I, but it was still good.



Apart from the awkward silences.

We played a lot of games including frisbee, rounders and football; I got 2 rounders as well as scoring a goal against Tom! Played manhunt after that (basically hide'n'seek) and got a few cuts and scratches from the trees, which were far spikier than they appeared (this is why my leg still hurts, about 8 hours later!). Rosie's friend Izzy came soon after that, but Georgina had leave, so Em and I went with her and wandered home in the afternoon sun. And it was 3:33.

Fun, fun, fun, fun!

Had a great day out today with Rosie, Chelsea, Daisy, Chris, Rachel and my sister Emily. We went to a park and enjoyed playing on the swings, roundabout and zip wire as though we were 5 years old again! I took a few videos on the camera including ones of Rosie falling off both the zip wire and a random spinning thing; luckily she wasn't hurt!

How time flies...

Met up with some friends from Primary school today, which was kind of odd since I haven't been in contact with most of them since we left almost four years ago. It was great to catch up again, but I still wondered how different life might be if we hadn't lost touch. Would we still hang out together? Would I have even made new friends?

Anyway, they haven't changed much and were still recognisable as my old friends; Megan kept commenting on how mature we all are (her in particular) and much mickey was taken out of Alex's new "Oldfield Girls'" posh accent and Chris's deeper voice (he didn't spike his hair up though!). Georgina, Gemma, Chris, Megan, Alex and I were there; the whole group apart from Amy, who had to have a blood test today because she had a brain tumour a few months ago. It was strange her not being there, and I really hope all is now well for her.

We had a laugh playing Just Dance 1 & 2 on the wii, and we watched The Simpsons Movie until it froze (at a very cool point) by which time Gemma was leaving and offered me a lift home, which I gladly accepted.

It was nice to see them all again, and I'll look forward to possible meet-ups in the future!
