everybody needs a place to think!

its been a very relaxing day today, well for most of it anyway! started of not every relaxing, as i had to wake up at 8.30 (which is very early for me), alarm went off, and i kept turning it off every time and asking myself why the hell it was going off at such an hour. when i realised i was meeting sally at 10 at roastars! i dragged myself out of bed by 9.15, had left by 9.45. we arrived at Victoria station around 10.45 where we met 'THE MANDEM' to buy our Brighton train tickets.

later we got a short bus ride rite outside our school (i know what a silly thing to do during your half term)where we stopped of a ecco for a pizza. me and sally then left 'the mandem' and took a stroll up to south bank up to the London eye where we came across these bench's...

'everybody needs a place to think'

we stopped and did a typical girl 'awww' then sat down, and without even realising we were sitting next to each other in silence just thinking! everybody needs a place to think, i have found mine! i just wish it was little closer to home rather than school!

went home, had a little practice on the guitar, did a tiny bit of one of my many essays, then off to club where i was on the Verge to throwing something, anything at many individuals!

remember this hat?

i gave it to my friend as an Xmas present!

what does everyone think of my new tongue!?

it hurt but its worth it!

by that i mean it hurt me to watch my friend have a giant needle being jabbed through her tongue yesterday, but its worth it as it strangely suits her. I wouldn't get it done if i was offered a million pounds. okay maybe a million.... but not much less! i still don't understand why i watched, it was painful! but I'm sure not as painful as it actually felt... oooo...my stomach is turning just with the thought of it!

merry Christmas everyone! the picture above is my gift to you all!

24 hour lesson

At 12 pm on 9th December 2006 25 year 12's and 13's met at St Andrew's to take part in a sponsored 24 hour lesson in aid of Education Action International. Here's what we got up to...!

To start the day we had a guest speaker on why we were there and issues in the world. the one fact i remember form that was that 110,000,000 people around the world are out of education. the around of money Americans spend on ice cream every year could solve this! its quite ironic as we had ice cream for afters that evening!

Then we had a bit of a physics lesson where me made our very own things! and i call them things cos we couldn’t decide on what they are called! its them buzzer toys, but our had a light instead.

We then spent some time in the hall pretending it was a slum in Calcutta and that we were families who made paper bags for a living. In half an hour my group managed to make 70 bags which we sold for 7 rupees, if this was reality our family would have just about survived.

We then tried out our buzzy things to see what our reaction time was like when we weren't tired. (can you see me in the back of the pic?) We carried on testing every few hours throughout the night to see what happened, most people's times decreased. But my groups didn’t!

We then played a few kiddy games in the hall, was very fun! will have to teach some of the games for club! we then went upstairs to watch half of high school the musical. a very good film, but extremely cheesy!

this was followed by salsa dancing! very traumatizing! me and Ellie were partners and being the tallest she decided she would play the male role. however there was a male 6th former who was on their own, and the only person left to pair up was my male RE teacher. so the lady picked on a two female pair to split up, and guess who she picked- me and Ellie! so i ended up salsa dancing with my 6ft 4 teacher! i don’t have a picture of the actual thing but here is a reenactment that took place the next morning...

this followed with a midnight feast- curtsey of Waitrose!

This followed with dinner, and a few more games, bonfire going back upstairs to watch the test of high school musical. We then had a lesson on French Hip-Hop which was very boring as i could not actually understand the teacher- he was French! This followed by a discussion on politics, during this time we passed the half way mark, and were very happy about it!

at 1.15am we then started to watch Charlie and the chocolate factory in a shall we say an original way! We sang and danced with all of the songs, and did lots of games to do with chocolate and sweets during the film.... I’ve been put off chocolate!

the film finished at around 4.15am and we went 'stargazing' in the playground. All we could really see were all of the lights on in the Channel 4 building. To get rid of some energy from all the crap we had been eating we had to do a silent conga around the playground and down into the gym where we played even more kiddy playground games.

after this we had a lengthy 'welcome to the dawn service', which included standing round a bombfire with a candle each, then going back into the chapel where us tied teenagers had to sing hymes in another language. very dangerous, as went start to drift of to sleep you are at major risk of putting you head into the candle flame and dropping it on the floor.

by the time this was over it was light outside and two English teachers cooked us breakfast. the smell alone made me feel really sick! i couldn’t believe it but excessive chocolate really had put me off food! it was great to be back out in fresh air and in daylight... Mr. Dane had lots of fun..

This followed by even more games! this time they were very different, including passing a spoon around stating 'this is a spoon' 'a what' 'a spoon', when in actual fact we were passing around fork- every exciting i know! the second game included saying 'hi harry' 'yes harry' 'tell harry', then anyone who messed it up had to pretend to be noddy and it all became complicate from there on!

we then had a lesson where we had to read the Sunday papers and discuss the articles. At the end we had to make ourselves some hats! from here we went straight to drama! where everyone was too tied to even try and act!

to draw the 24 hours to an end we had a final talk from out head of year, followed by my favorite part, which involved composing a song about our experiences. Click here to watch a video if it (stolen form someone’s myspace). this followed by my old English teachers two little kids and her husband who led us in the final part- singing 'my favorite things' from the sound of music. was so lovely and a perfect end!

The best part was no one went to sleep! And I only needed two red bulls out of the 5 I took with me, expecting it wouldn’t be enough! Thanks to everyone who gave donations!

Sick to the stomach

About 15 minutes ago, while sitting there doing my homework (what a fun Friday evening) I heard a loud tumbling noise which led to the sound of an explosion.

My mum, being the nosey parker of the estate ran out to see what was going on. She came back not knowing. Feeling very anxious, she went back out a minute or two later to see if there was any progress. She came back feeling very anxious and said the chute is on fire. This is problem as my house is situated right next to it, and there is a false wall in between my mum and dad’s room and the chute.

My mum called for the fire brigade, and my dad grabbed the keys and we went outside just encase the fire was about to explode and set the place alight. My dad pulled the trailer away from the chute so that it wasn’t in contact with the building, and in the process badly burnt two of his fingers. They came up in massive blisters within minutes. As the fire brigade were on their way I could see more and more people looking out their windows, and the odd person came out to see what was going on.

Its all cool, the fires out, and I’m just so thankful my mum is nosey and went out the second time as if it was left until we could smell it may have already done some damage. My dad recons it was either a petrol bomb or a fire work. I really hope something like this doesn’t happen while I’m on my own; I would be so friggin scared!!! Who ever it was who did it makes me sick to the stomach! I’m sure my mum will know who it is by tomorrow! lol

yay me..... I got a job at waitrose!

Last Tuesday u had a group interview for Waitrose. I was strangely not too worried about it. That as until I got I had to wait outside the room and I saw more and more people coming who were there for the interview too who looked like they were more lily to get a job. We all walked into the room and had to find chairs with clip boards and name tags. We found our place and then began the interview. First of all to get to know each other we had to play a game of bingo where we has to ask other people various questions such as do you play the piano and write their name in that box. The second part of the interview consisted of us taking five minutes to prepare a short two minute presentation on ourselves and why we want the job. This went well. At first I thought didn't stand a chance, but then as I watched other people realized (without sounding to big headed) that I had to much more to offer, and so much better stuff to talk about. I think I came across as a bit of a hippy as I described spending my spare time on protests and making DVDs for the green party, where as others included things such as shopping and ice-skating. The final part of the interview consisted of getting split into two groups with a list of words and deciding on which ones are the most important attributes for working in Waitrose. This part annoyed me; top of my list was communication skills, where as twp 16 year old boys who knew each other form 6th form believed that it was having salesman skills. Well, I won! I mean if you go to a super market u rarely or never have someone trying to sell you something, it just doesn’t make sense. One deciding on our top six words they questioned us on our choices and then briefly spoke to us individually to look into our availability. I was told they would call in the next few days to tell me if I would be called for a second interview.

Next day, I got a call and arranged for an interview in Friday. It went really well, they just asked simple questions on why we wanted the job and what we have to offer and then had to go through medical information and height (have no idea why- to see if we can stack shelves maybe?) before getting shown to the checkouts and briefly describing the process.

following Monday I got a call saying I have been accepted, and went through clothes sizes and preferences. I have an induction this thursday, after that i will be working 5-8.15 on a Monday, and 12-8 on a Saturday.

The put off for me is the similarity between the shirt i have to wear and the uniform i just stopped wearing!

24 hour lesson

That’s right; I have done the foolish thing of signing up to staying in school for 24 hours, of which we should stay awake for the whole lot and are not allowed to leave the building! I may have to go to sleep at a decent hour the night before, in preparation for '24 hour’s non-stop learning'.

You may ask why someone would sign up to something like this, well, its all in the name of charity. In May a teacher in my school visited schools and educational organizations working with Palestinian and other refugees in Lebanon. The charity EAI (education action international) work in areas affected by conflict to make sure refugees and other groups are receiving the basis human right of quality education. For more information on Mr. Danes work and targets click here.

25 students including myself are taking part in the 24 hour lesson hoping to gain as many sponsors as possible in order to raise money to go towards the charity outlined above. I’m hoping to raise as much money as possible, all donations will be gratefully received.

something i found while browsing myspace.....

boys chage the word from girl to boy, and from boy to girl

""Girls

are like apples

on trees. The best ones

are at the top of the tree.

The boys don't want to reach

for the good ones because they

are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Instead, they get the rotten apples

from the ground that aren't as good,

but easy. So the apples up top think

something wrong with them when in

reality they're amazing. They just

have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's-
brave enough to

climb all

the way

to the top

of the tree.

When a fear becomes reality

On Friday night I was meant to be going to a peter pan based fancy dress party. However, turns out it was Saturday night and I wasn’t able to go! So, I spent my Friday evening chatting to my stalker on the phone when I saw a spider!

My fear of bailey sitting has always been that I might see a spider and my dad wouldn’t be there to get it. On Friday this came true! Usually my Nan can get them, but this one was on the ceiling! So I left it, hoping it would crawl down, but an hour later I realised that it wasn’t going to. So, I raided the house looking for some insect spray (for my Nan to use of course), but there was none! In this time bailey had spotted the spider, and was looking up at it meowing and trying to climb up the walls.

My Nan joined me on my quest to find insect spray, and she found a long stick (have no idea where she got it from). She started banging it on the wall hoping it would make the spider move, but it didn’t work. A while later she knocked it, causing it to fall and she them stamped on it. Bailey had his eyes pealed. She then said ‘have I got it?’ (Poking with stick) ‘Yea I got it’. I was in the corner, away from the spider cracking up, then she states ‘it’s handy this stick’ as she bungs it down looking at like she is the proud mother.

After the moan I had about not being able to go on the drumming for trade justice march, I am so happy I was part of the recent protests.

Although I was really tired as I didn’t get in until about 1.30 the night before, and that I hadn’t started my pile of homework for the weekend, I knew that I had to go to the stand up at brick lane. I would have felt like I had let myself down again otherwise.

The following Tuesday was the protest in Trafalgar square. Like the trade justice campaign, I really wanted to go but did not know if I should miss school for it. I knew I should have gone because of how much I regretted not going last time. That night I was hoping that my middle two lessons would be cancelled, however I though that this was just wishful thinking. The next day I went into school as normal, however on the way I almost turned to get the 15 Trafalgar square rather than head towards the tube. I got into school and attended double sociology, then decided that as soon as the lessons were over I was going to walk out. And I did walk out. However I was too late, the campaign at Trafalgar square was over. I was invited to continue protesting along with Thomas, josh and Roz on their own little protest at Downing Street, but I didn’t think it was worth missing school for.

So I headed back towards school when I saw a girl who is on my RE class waiting at the bus stop. I spoke to her and she told me that our RE lessons had been cancelled- just as I hope for the day before! So, I got the best of both worlds; I could still go on the protest, and not miss school!

If we lived in an ideal world, what thing would you value the most?

This is what we were asked in my RE ethics class today. The overall question was ‘what we would include in our ideal life?’ We had to go around the whole class and say one thing that we would value most in our ideal life and why. I was amazed by what the class came up with collectively. Most common things included friends and family which I can understand, but what astonished me was the amount of people who said materialistic things such as having money and a nice house. I was the only person in the class who said a value that was not selfish and was for the benefit as the world as a whole. In my idea world, the thing I would value the most would be world peace.

My reasons being that world peace would mean people would no longer have to live in fear of things such as terrorist attacks, and needless deaths would no longer occur. Also, I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but if there was world peace then the whole would could live as one and be happy. My final and most important reason is that all the money that is wasted on nuclear weapons could be spent to help overcome poverty, and improve the destroyed environment. When I came out with the words ‘world peace’ I think people were thinking ‘why? This is an ideal world; you could have anything you want’. In an ideal world materialistic things would not matter, the elements that matter most are things such as poverty that those people find easy to be oblivious to, this is mainly because they feel there is not a direct effect on them. This ignorant view is one I will never understand.

A catwalk model is 5ft 9in tall and weighs just 7th 12lbs …. And that is just the average!

The size of today’s models has always been an issue that I have felt very strongly about. I used to like buying magazines such as glamour, but apart from the fact they were a waste of money, I stopped buying them because I decided that the models displayed were not setting a good example, due to the fact they are very different to what we see on a daily bases. Glamour models look this way because they are reflecting on catwalk models. Models should be creating a healthy body image for the world to follow, not an unrealistic one!

They clearly do not reflect the size of an average woman; which in the UK is a 12-14, I reckon catwalk models are about a size 6- if that! Also, I feel it is unfair that all models are so tall. I’m not expecting all models to be my height (a few centimeters under 5 ft), as I know that this is below average, however I feel that they should be the height of the average woman, which is 5 ft 4- much below the average model. I feel as though if they are going to have models above the average height, then they should also have them below the average height.

The majority of the time I don’t mind being the height I am, however I wouldn’t mind growing an extra few inches cause I know that being taller makes you appear slimmer- seeing these stick thin 5ft 9 models really doesn’t help! They set the example for the rest of the world as the celebrity’s copy them, and the public tend to aspire to the celebrities. It is for this reason why I admire people like charlotte church.

I know I have rambled on a bit, but the thing that I am trying to get across is that i feel models should reflect on the average woman rather than the select few, and I don’t feel it is fair to have one extreme and not the other......oh and the same goes for male models!

Anything is possible!

Yesterday my school had arranged two motivational guest speakers. When ever we hear of these things being arranged we all think 'right, time to go to sleep!’ as most of which can be very boring. We had our first about how we separate ourselves in society, and that we should 'cross tables' and come out of our comfort zones. At first I found it very interesting, however after about half an hour I started to drift.

The second guessed speaker of the day was just amazing. There are no words to describe how incredible and honorable it was to listen to his story. His name is Jamie Andrew, you may have heard of him and his incredible story. The speech went on for over an hour but I did not once feel bored. To give you an over view, he is a man who had a passion for mountaineering, who on one occasion got caught up in storm with a friend while climbing the French Alps. It was 4 days until rescue services came, however because of the weather conditions they were unable to be saved. His friend died that night, and Jamie told us yesterday that on that evening when he went to sleep, he didn’t think he would wake back up. Next day however he was still fighting, and thankfully the rescue services were able to save him this time round.

Due to frost bite and hypothermia, both his hands and feet had to be amputated. He had to learn everything from scratch, and became a reliant individual who could not do anything himself, from going to the toilet to doing up shirt buttons. He was forced to drop his active way of life.

However bit by bit he managed to get back into his old way of life, starting with small things then later onto bigger ones. He explained to us that it was great to go to bed at night knowing that he had always achieved something new. He told us that he never set his sights to high, and didn't set tasks that he felt were impossible. But with every task competed, he set a harder one which led him into doing things such as swimming, running, skiing, snow-boarding, paragliding, caving, orienteering and sailing, and eventually even mountaineering!

In April 2000 he climbed Britain’s biggest mountain raising £15,000 for charity. He later got back into rock and ice climbing, and even ran the London marathon of 2002 rising over £22,000 for charity. Along with all this he has climbed many other mountains, including one occasion where he was joined by 3 other disabled climbers, who together climbed Africa’s highest mountain raising 5,000 for charity.

The overview I have given above does not compare to the speech that was given yesterday by the man himself. He truly is amazing, and I think his story really does prove that when you put your mind to something as much as he has, you can achieve anything. His motto is "Remember, nothing is impossible!"

I should have been there!!!!

I just read Thomas’ post on the protest that he went on today which involved drumming for trade justice. Yesterday I was debating in my mind whether to go, I really wanted to, but I didn’t know if it was a good idea to miss lessons being in my first week. I decided that I would see how I felt when the day came, but I though I was more likely not to go.

So next day, I got into school, and when I got in the building I realized I didn’t have my 6th form pass. It was a sign for me to go! I had my first 4 lessons of the day in lower building, and the lady on the desk didn’t bother asking for my pass, however in the upper building they are really strict on it and tell you to go home without it! I though to myself 'result! I can go on the protest!' so when I walked down to upper building I expect to be sent away. I told the man on the desk that I had lost my pass, and he gave a look which indicated to me that he wanted me to go home. But.... he said he would let me in this time and that I had to get I pass sorted out for tomorrow. Why did he have to be so nice!? As convenient as it may seem, I genially did forget my pass this morning, and I really though it was a sign that I should have gone to the protest. the annoying thing is that if it was yesterday I could have gone as I had last two lessons free, and if it was tomorrow I could have gone as we have pastoral day- don’t ask! It’s a load of crap where we do rubbish activities!

What a pain! Anyway, great to hear that you all had a good time, and that I can now say I have connections with famous people!

first week of non-compulsory education

During the week I have been back to Grey Coats for an induction to 6th form. My opinions of 6th form are so far so good. On Monday we just had to clarify our chosen subjects and pick two workshops out of five to take part in. Me and my friend decided to pick 'an introduction to mandarin' as we thought it would be a laugh. But we ended up not going as we decided sitting in the corridor chatting to people was more fun. After lunch we had out second work shop, 'a formal debate'. It was all about whether god was real. It was really interesting but unfortunately, feel it was spoiled by certain individuals who thought it was a call for them to mess around and talk over others. Why go to a debate of you're that sort of person???

its girls like that who I wish had left and gone to another 6th form or college, and considering how much they complain about the school you would think they would. However I'm happy to see that most of 'the fake tan girl's' and 'blup blup' lot have gone somewhere far away form me lol.

On Wednesday we went on a trip to Cambridge. At first I didn't want to go, I though what a waste to time! But it turned out to be a really good day, and the aim of the trip was success- to bond with new members of the year. And indeed, me and my friends did. I'm happy to see that so many cool people have joined the year group. During our visit there we went punting which was a great experience, and as we went along the river we got to see the place where Harry potter learnt to fly!!! Always a bonus!

Next day was circus skills which I wasn't exactly looking forward to but it was great fun. We got to play around doing little things like spinning plates and bigger things like unicycles. But my most favorite thing of all was the stilts. For once I got to know how it feels to be taller than the rest of my mates! At first I was useless, and the circus man threw me over his shoulder and carried me over to the wall as i could walk over there. I soon got the hang of it, but then fell over resulting in a bruised knee, and somehow even though I landed on my front I've hurt my back really badly!

It's been a great week; I hope that it is just as positive when lessons start next week. However somehow, I doubt it!

Its over!!!

11 weeks have gone so fast. it only seems like yesterday that I was doing my last exam (physics to be precise, the most boring one out of the lot (I don’t care about the life cycle of a star!)) which dragged on like hell! I remember clearly that to celebrate the end of the gcse exams me and my friends had a bbq that evening, and then went to Brighton the next day. That weekend I felt bad for not revising as I had been doing it so much during the weeks beforehand.

As mean as it sounds, it felt so good to be out of school doing nothing, while everyone else was in school working their socks off. I though I had a long summer ahead with nothing to do other than relax. Then came NRA day!

On NRA day they decided to give us a pack with of holiday work to do in preparation for our A-levels. I have ignored this for most of the holiday, hence why I still have over half left to do! It was NRA day when I realized how grateful i saw to be off school. I though I was getting bored of the holidays, but when I went back their for those few hours, I realized how much I hated some of those people and just wanted to get away again!

A few weeks later came Spain, and then as soon as that was over the summer holidays started for everyone else. Most of the summer from this point has been filled with activities from club. This annoyed my school friends as it meant they never saw me, so on the odd occasion they turned up outside club! And one time... even the climbing wall!

Summer club finished completely the day before my I got my exam results. Which was good as it distracted my mind from them. once I had got them, I felt as though summer was kind of over as it was kind of what the whole 10 weeks had been building up to. It was then when I decided that I should really get down to that holiday work!

Summer this year has gone so fast. Its been great, but I’m not sure the over eating and lack of exercise has been good for me! I feel like a dumpling! I’m looking forward to starting 6th form now. I will be doing subjects I enjoy (no more science yay!), and will have more freedom. But one of the best things is... I no longer have to wear that ugly uniform!

Use less plastic with Tescos!

I recently saw a Tesco advert on TV informing the public on the importance of using fewer carrier bags. I looked it up on their website to find out more and it says that every time you reuse a carrier bag they will give you a green club card point, of which can be used like any other. I don’t know how many people will actually care about the points they get, especially as it is only one per bag you reuse, and you have to take the carrier bags back to the shop with you which can b a bit of a pain. However I feel that it is a great way of not only getting people involved in helping the environment, but it also shows awareness on the importance of using less materials like plastic. People are more likely to make the effort to take their bags back to the shop to be reused now they are getting something out of it.

Hopefully it may make people think twice about using needless carriers in all supermarkets. I must say, it makes we sick when I see people using more carrier bags than what is needed, and I hate it when I don’t see people making use of the recycling scheme that have been introduced into households, especially as I feel there is no excuse with all the awareness that is around us.

GCSE results!!!!

The day finally came where I got my exam results. Despite what people told me, I still wasn't confident in my results. The only one I wasn't too worried about was RE, this is because I did the short course last year and got an A*, this is half of my overall grade this year. So I knew I had a good head start. This is what I saw on the paper with my results on:

RE- A*
Double Science- AA
Art- A
Geography- A
English literature- A
Graphics- B
Maths- B
English language- B
Spanish- C

I am so overwhelmed! I didn't expect anything above C's in science and English lit ( I didn't even read 1984). I screamed when I saw my grades!!! I expected an A in RE, and B's and mostly C's. I knew I wouldn't get above a C in Spanish as I did the foundation paper, however I was expecting to see a grade D next to next to Spanish. Overall I thought the majority of my grades would have been C's. Its still sinking in how well I did.

I cant wait to see Mrs Harvey- once of my science teachers. The day before the first science exam she called me into her office and tried to convince me to do the foundation paper, of which you can't get any higher than a grade C. she thought i was going to fail science from the start! So much for encouragement from your teacher!

After yesterday’s incident, I phoned the piercing shop in Stratford to ask what had to be done. The lady on the other end told me to go back in the morning and she would open it up again. Before I got off the phone, I made sure that it was going to be numbed. She laughed and said of course it will be. So off I went, I laid down, and I saw a thing that looks like a needle coming towards me. I i reminded her that i wanted it to be numbed. She said that she could use the cold spray as it is already partly open, so she used another kind of that doesn't numb it completely. The horror in me when she told me that! Knowing this my stomach became tense, making the pain worse as the needle like thing was jabbed through my stomach! That large prick i felt as it went though is one I will never forget. And this wasn't the end! it had to be done a few times to widen the hole, course it hurt less after the whole had been made, but seeing it go through me belly was enough to scare me. I think it was the most I have sworn in that short amount time. I was so relieved when it was all over and I could get up and go.

At the beginning of the day my belly button looked something like the one on the left. I am pleased to say that the one on the left is not mine as it appears to be stretched LOL. This morning I was meant to be meeting up club at 10.30, I was about to leave, I looked at my phone and saw it was almost that time! So on my way there, as soon as I got off the main road I started to run. During the last few days my belly bar has fallen out a few times, but I have always felt it and put it back in. This happened again this morning while I was running; however this time I was unaware of the whole in my belly that was no longer being filled! When I got to club, I sat down and noticed it was gone! I looked on the floor hoping it would be there but it wasn't. I assumed it would be fine to be left for a few hours, so off we all went outside, discussing where to plant trees!

A few hours later I thought it would be a good idea for me to go home and put a belly bar in. So I got back, sterilized the bar, and tried to put it in. Usually it would just slide all the way through. But this time it wasn't the case! This time there was a barrier stopping it from sliding through!

I sat there for ages, wriggling it form side to side, giving it gentle pushes until I came to the conclusion that the only way it would go in would be for me to yank it through the part the had closed up! This was off course something I was not prepared to do!

So now, my belly looks something like the one on the right. Once again, I am pleased to say that this is not a picture of my belly but one of Google, as this time, seems to have been squashed rather than stretched lol. I’m going back to Stratford tomorrow to get it opened up again!

here i am about to publish my first post on my blog and i can't believe it! i honestly though blogging is a trap i would never get caught up in. i dont't really know what to blog about so i'm just going to say why i have started blogging. well, i have started to blog because of this msn conversation:

thomas says:
i have decided something
SaRaH says:
u gonna tell me wat it is lol
thomas says:
you are either gonna start your own blog or i will start one for you

hope you don't mind that being on there thomas lol. so there is my reason for blogging, or at least starting a blog, this may be my only post as i as i have loads of work to do before i start 6th form, and when i start i will be working non-stop.

incase you are woundering what the pictre has to do with it, it doesn't! i just thought i would add a picture of me and three of my friends to make it look less dull. even though the picture is kind of dull as its dark lol.

and why theregosmyhero? well i wanted to have save-the-planet but it is already being used, so i stole this name from a friend on bebo as i thought it sounded cool.
