Heathrow and Sophie

So on Friday night Charlie's cousin Katy invited us to go bowling with them and her friends.
Katy is 17, blonde (though she dyed her hair brown) and amazingly pretty. Her best friend is a girl called Cara, who coincidently turns out to be the cousin of a guy I used to fancy called Matthew Cox. Me and Vanessa saw him play a gig in Leicester Square once.

So I was like ye sure I'll go bowling, woo. However, it turned out they were going all the way to bloody Heathrow, which is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Kingston, but 2 hours and 15 minutes from my house. I met Charlie in Kingston and off we went, passing through the mean streets of Harrow which I'm sure we can all agree is lovely :p

We turned up and immediately I felt under dressed. I was wearing a blue cardigan and jeans but Katy was wearing a dress and those weirdo furry boots girls wear, Cara was wearing a black dress and skinny jean type leggings and Vicky was wearing shorts with fishnet tights. They all hugged me in welcome and asked how old I was (I think they thought I was younger than they were) and much to my dismay they were joined by a group of chavs who they had met at the place. And they were all drinking (illegally as they're all underage :p).
All the guys were trying to get in there with Katy basically, until a bunch of them left as Simon was the one who 'got in there'.

At the bar, ( I thought I needed a few stiff drinks to get through the night ), Katy came up to us and asked us to look after a student who lived with her for the week. She had tagged along and was standing in the corner like a lemon, so I agreed to look after her. She was was originally born in Milan, moved to Rome then to the Netherlands so she could speak Italian, Dutch and English. She came to England to brush up on her communication skills. She was a secretary, 20 and you could clearly see she disapproved of Katy's behaviour and the whole British culture. She told me and Charlie that us Britain's always ask people how they were without caring of the answer, which is true I suppose. For a while I was the one standing there like a lemon because I don't think she realised me and Charlie were going out, so she was completely ignoring me and talking to him the whole time. Hrmph. Me and Charlie started discussing who was pretty in our sixth form and I was like 'oh sorry, you must feel left out' to Dani but she said she just found it beautiful how I spoke which was nice. She looks well nice in the photos but she doesn't really look like this in real life :p. I look awful!


On Wednesday I went to Warren Street to visit Soph. Apparently she had been struggling on her course (Scandanavian Studies) and hadn't been to a lecture in two weeks so I went to see if she was okay. I arrived at Warren Street and was greeted by Richard who told me that Sophie was held up as she had to see our History teacher about her grade, so we went to a cafe around the corner called 'Coco Verde' and had some Brazilian drink. Sophie later told me he wanted to 'take me back to his' but she was so disturbed by the flirtatious undertones in it that she refused to let him :p hahaha.

We spoke about stuff, I told him about Juan, he told me he thought Soph hated him. He also hates his course, which is Icelandic studies, but what ya gonna do :p

Sophie turned up and we went to a Chinese buffet ( 5 pound 10p as much as you can eat with a soft drink) and we just spoke about stuff in general. I kind of struggled for things to say. We went to the cinema to see Becoming Jane (2 for 1 Orange wednesday!) and I cried :( hahaha. I'd already seen it but I saw it again and it was just as heartbreaking. I'll explain what its about:

Basically it's about Jane Austin's love life and how she based her book pride and prejudice on it, except the ending is how she wanted her love life to be and not what actually happened. She has a very poor family and they want her to marry this rich guy, but she's in love with this poor man who gets a monthly allowance from his uncle which he uses to support his family back in Ireland. He asks his uncle if he can wed Jane, but he refuses so him and Jane never marry. At the end after like 30 or 40 years Jane sees his again and he has named his eldest daughter after her.

It may not sound that sad but it really is because she never married because she always loved him with all her heart and no one else would do. Aww welling up just thinking about it :p

poem + lyircs

Fireworks
Amy Lowell

You hate me and I hate you
And we are so polite, we two!
But whenever I see you, I burst apart
And scatter the sky with my blazing heart.
It spits and sparkles in the stars and balls,
Buds into roses – and flares, and falls.
Scarlet buttons, and pale green disks,
Silver spirals and asterisks,
Shoot and tremble in a mist
Peppered with mauve and amethyst.
I shine in the windows and light up the trees,
And all because I hate you, if you please.
And when you meet me, you rend asunder
And go up in a flaming wonder
Of saffron cubes, and crimson moons,
And wheels all amaranths and maroons.
Golden lozenges and spades
Arrows of malachites and jades,
Patens of copper, azure sheaves.
As you mount, you flash in the glossy leaves.
Such fireworks as we make, we two!
Because you hate me and I hate you.

sorry I just really liked this so thought I'd include it!



'Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry'



'Hold me down' by Motion City Soundtrack. Everytime I hear this song it makes me really sad...I'll bold the bits that I relate to :p

I found a letter that said:
"I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down,"
You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now.
Save for a few of those late night episodes,
Missed opportunities, and ' Don't Cares',
There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about.

I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to pick up my things,
Just make sure you're not there.
This may sound bad, don't take it the wrong way,
I love you, however, you hold me down

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
How will I break the news to you?
You're the leaky sink of sentiment,
You're the failed attempts I never could forget.
You're the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love..

St.Patricks Day

I was given an old photo of me from year 12, I look so nice! What happend...:p also I have some photos of my new tops, I look fat but we can all ignore that :) I'm not model ye hahaha





Haha I found an old extract from my previous blog...I was angry at Charlie :p and it talks about John and Pablo. Aww how sad....hmm


I came in late today, due to the fact I had to finish my film coursework this morning. I'm glad I did it though. I spoke to Luke, he gave me his CD back. It felt like he wanted me to go away though, haha bless him. I hope he doesn't find me scary. So yeah had a go at Charlie for being a prat in general and shouting gossip in the lunch hall. I had a chat with John. I really like him. He's so lovely, but he gives me this look sometimes and it sort of breaks my heart for some reason. It really tugs at my heartstrings. I'd never want to hurt the lad, he's far too cool. So double film, interesting, not much happend. Theology was cancelled, walked to Wimbledon with the Pablo Bean and it was all very interesting, haha. Must flee now. x

Well anyway, on Friday I went to Ireland to celebrate paddy's day, woo! So we arrived at the hotel at 11pm at night. We went to Bumratty in Shannon which is in County Clare. We had booked a room for three beds but it only had two so we asked to be moved. They moved us to a 'holiday home' which is basically a cottage but part of the ceiling had fallen down, so they moved us to another cottage and we got all our money paid back for the trip.
Not much happened as always in my blogs, there was a lot of complaining, singing on the Friday night and I saw a really nice coat but my boobs were too big for it, hahaha DAMN IT. Well, here are some photos...I look awful but that's no different to normal eh :p



Also to Vanessa! You look so skinny, you bitch. GIVE ME YOUR BROWN DRESS I LOVE IT x

Hastings

THIS time last Friday I was in the seaside resort of HASTINGS. The only thing I knew, and still know about it is there was a battle there in 1066 involving William the Conquer and the Normans.
I went with Charlie and his family, including his brothers partner. So this is my first ever 'lets go on holiday with the boyfriends family' adventure. Woo. To be honest not much happened, we played monopoly...wasted money in the arcades, walked along the beach. That's about it. Oh yes, I found a maggot on my air bed and had to stamp on it about 10 times to make sure there weren't any more. Ew. Here are some photos!

The view from my bedroom
Er I don't know why I'm sitting on the floor, but I did fall over on the pebbles and hit my head :p...

What else have I been up to? HMM. I went to the pub with my friend Tom from uni, Phoebe and Charlie. We had some baileys and tequila but sadly I did not get drunk, only tipsy. We later went to Nandos and nicked most of Charlies burger hehe.
Well basically I really like this photo but Charlie said it made me look stoned, so I was wondering what other people think :p if my love for it is silly hahaha. THE LOVE FOR MY FACE.

This is a v bad photo but what ya gonna do :p

Juan called me the other day and his number was withheld so I answered it. He made me do this questionarre for him and I had to say good things about him and bad things. It was awkward. Hmm.

Well that is it, sorry if it was boring but I am pretty sure Vanessa is my only reader so you can forgive me, right? Haha. Bye byeee! x
