In Which I Freak Out in a Public Place

Hello again everybody!
I had a pretty good day yesterday, although it's true that I'm absolutely exhausted now as a result. My day started off as freaking awesome - I got a message from GuyImetatparty with a video which I went to go watch in the computer room as soon as I was free. It's called Paper Man and it's a Disney animation, it was literally so cute that I just sat there grinning like an idiot for ages. I messaged him back thanking him for the link and he replied with 'No problem, I literally spent all night looking for videos that would cheer you up'. I actually made some kind of noise expressing cuteness out loud. Rather loudly.. Like, I've never done anything so retarded and lame and girly in my life. I regretted it the moment annoyed student heads turned in my direction, simply burying my head in my arms and trembling half with laughter half with oh-my-goodness-you're-so-cute-dude.

Had English Lit after that (French is irrelevant, it was so dull). During which my teacher got extraordinarily excited about Auden, who seems to be her favourite poet. It was nice though, to see such love towards literature. Kind of inspiring, you know? There are too many teachers out there that just bleat what they know at you, set you homework and push you through your exams and then that's it. You forget everything you ever learned in that class and continue on with your life. My English teacher clearly loves literature so much I can't help but sit there and smile at her. It's like seeing a couple gaze into each other's eyes and smile, if you like. You can almost see the love as a physical thing, and it gives you hope. I've heard Auden is pretty boring too, but I'm hoping my teacher will make it fun.

After that, three of us decided to go to a nearby seaside town and just hang out for the afternoon as we finished all our lessons. Which was okay I guess, apart from the fact that one of them is my ex. Which was... interesting, to say the least. It started off as super awkward and I did genuinely attempt to form some kind of excuse as to why I suddenly couldn't go in my mind, but we were at the station before I knew it and I had no choice. It got better though - we went to go and see the Life of Pi, took pictures on the beach, and wandered around before we went to Nandos and then back home again.

The Life of Pi is, quite literally, a visionary orgasm. The first half an hour is insanely boring - and I would admit that the film doesn't really have much of a plot or much substance until you get to the end, and then boom! The twist happens. And suddenly the last 2 hours are totally worth it. But like I said, it was a visionary orgasm - we saw it in 3D which definitely helped, plus the colours and lights were absolutely amazing <3

So I have to get up now and start getting ready for college. I only have 2 lessons which is a relief as I'm starting to feel pretty tired xD think I'll sleep once I get home :)

In which I get even fatter.

I'm writing this to you with the rain slamming against the windows outside, nibbling away on my coveted Haribo milk bottles. No actually, that's a lie. That's the way I was  going to start off this blog post approximately eight hours ago, but just like everything else I was meant to get done  today, I failed to do it. The only thing true in the first sentence there was the whole thing about the rain slamming against the windows. It's been raining all day. Now that it's well into early September summer has packed up and left, and there's a definite autumnal chill in the air. To be honest I don't think summer ever really came. We had a horrible winter, a few whispers of spring, and then here we are in Autumn again. Sigh.

There are so many better ways to spend one's last day of summer than what I did. My brother and I trecked to the bus stop in the pouring rain, bought some more pick 'n mix and came home. We pretty much ate all our sweets by the time we got home, so I spent the remaining few hours of the day curled up with the last book in the Hunger Games trilogy, 'Mockingjay.' I'll write a book review about it some other time, if I remember. In my opinion it wasn't as good as the other two. It almost seemed tired and rushed in a way.

I did manage to do SOME things today though. My school bag has been packed. I caught up with some schoolmates I haven't seen all summer. I tidied my desk up and removed all the clutter that the holidays had brought onto it, so that I can now actually see what colour the wood is. My bedroom doesn't seem to be too messy and my uniform has been laid out in an accessible area. I think I'm ready.

Thoughts on school? I'm excited to see my friends and get back into a nice, solid routine. However I'm not too eager about GCSEs and homework and studying. Oh and all the crap I have to put up with from a few *certain* girls - nothing I can't handle of course, but irritating and tiresome all the same. Maybe they'll have cooled off this year. We live in hope :)

That's it for now. It's currently 11:16pm, and I'm only gonna get 6 and a bit hours' sleep if I don't hurry up and finish this. I felt like I needed to collect my thoughts and feelings up before I started though :) I'll see you all tomorrow after my first day of school!
