As I may have mentioned, went to Blackpool with a few of my mates during half term week. We only went for a few days but it was so great!

Had to leave really early to get to catch the train into Birmingham, THEN we had to try and find the coach station THEN walk for miles trying to find it, only to find it was delayed 20 minutes, so we had to wait AAAAGES for it to get there... but even that was kind of fun :D

Took about 3 hours to travel up there. We all just sat talking, eating maoams all the way :D

Once we got to Blackpool we had to actually find the B&B we were staying at, all the while pulling very heavy suitcases behind us might I add!

Went out to the cinema the first night (ha ha - another long search for the cinema :P) Saw Cloverfield, which was quite good actually.

Next day was Pleasure Beach day! The Pepsi Max was closed due to bad weather, but we went on most of the other rides; Ice Blast, VALLHALA (got so wet on that!), Grand National, INFUSION, Irn Bru, Avalanche... you get the picture.

Went for a chinese while we were there, that was pretty good. And, I did of course take pictures all the while (which is what I'm going to leave you with... cheerio!)

Ok, you may have to scroll down a bit, since it's a bit on the large side xD >>>

From Najat (whose birthday it is on the...20th I believe? :D)



Had a great day. My mates sang happy birthday to me during maths revision (they had a cake with caddles and everything!) it was so embarasing :P Then I had work, which weren't so good, but oh well :P

I got Grey's anatomy on DVD (season 1), The Who's album, snoopy pajamas (which I am wearing now lol) and some other stuff I can't remember right now :P

Saw The Golden Compas tonight as well. It was alright actually - the ending was different to the book, but overall not bad.

Oh yeah, and my sister broke our computer (yet again :P) so we've temperaraly stolen my nan's until I go buy mine after christmas (still debating whether or not to get a laptop or not...)

Anyway, it's now 20 past 10 and I have a tonne of courswork to do - biology and psychology. Not good xP

Woop, can't believe it's only 2 day 'til my birthday :D
I know it's not gonna be the best birthday in the world, since for half the day I've got sixth form (maths revision - ahh!) then work until 10 :( but I don't care :D

Going to see The Golden Compass on Tuesday, even though they changed the name of it lol. I loved the books, so I'm just hoping the film's not total crap :-/

Have a ton of work to do - you would've thought they'd give us a break since we've only got a week left of term, but (as my teachers keep reminding me) we've got modular exams in January (the day after we come back!) and if you pass first time it means you don't have to resit in the summer :-/

Work tonight (unfortunately) - haven't worked a Saturday in aaages, since I had the day off last week (how great is that - I got paid to go christmas shopping :D)

Speaking of Christmas shopping, so far I've got all my sister's and my mum's presents... just gotta get my friends' now :)

That's all folks, until next time [most likely some time after my birthday :)]

Yup, the last Harry Potter book came out last friday, and having been a Harry Potter Fan since I was 11, I went up (with my cousins) to get the last book at the midnight opening. We were the first one's there (we arrived at about 11:20) and so were the first ones to get our books! I got discount on mine as well since my cousin worked at the store we got them from :P

Stayed up until 2.00 in the morning reading, until I remembered I had work that day and forced myself to go to sleep :P

Oh yeah, my first day of work - that went soooo well </sarcasm>. A bottle of wine fell off the conveyer belt and smashed all over the floor!!! Trust that to happen to me on my first day :P

Also saw the latest Harry Potter Film the other day (I swear, I'm not that obsessed :P). It was ok, I was in a good mood so I didn't pick out all the bits they missed out from the books (like I did with the previous films :P).

My computer's still not fixed, but I stayed at me Nan's last night so I'm using hers. Oh! And my Dad phoned last night from America! It's his birthday in a couple of weeks, so we're sending him something over. Nan says it has to be something light so it doesn't cost a fortune in postage :P

Anyways, I do believe I have ran out of stuff to say, so until I can next get onto a computer.

My mum has finally managed to get someone in to fix our shower. Only took her over two years, but better late than never :P

Oh yeah, Dougal (hamster) escaped again last Friday. He managed to push his cage door open and get out. Only problem was, my door was open... and so was the airing cuboard opposite my room. The thing is, the airing cuboard has big gaps in its floor... so yeah, he managed to get out of my room and into the floorboards :O Up until a few nights ago, we could hear him chewing and stuff, so I put him out some food and water to see if he'd come up and get it. I haven't heard him though in a bit... I'm just trying not to think the worst :(

I was thinking of making my own LJ layout next time I change it. I mean, I know I'm not the best layout maker in the world, but I thought I'd give it a go.

Saw Spiderman 3 yesterday. It was ok - the action parts of the film were fanta-TASTIC! BUT - I did find that there was an awfull lot of cheeeese in it. At some parts I was think "wtf? I came here to see Spiderman, not this crap" :P

That's all, I forgot to take my umbrella to school today, so I got drenched on the way home - so need to get changed and shizzle :P
