I Would've Blogged Sooner, But...

This beaver came in to my room, right, and he wanted to take me to the moon, but then the Skunk came, and Beaver was like, "Oh no!" And then the skunk pulled a raccoon out of his pocket, and Raccoon took off his sunglasses and tried to vapourise Beaver with his lazer-beam-eyes and...is there any point in me continuing or do you know I'm lying? Okay, truth is, it's been really hot lately and I just didn't feel like sitting inside typing away on my computer.

But I do have some things to say, so it's all good.

LUCOZADE CAN TURN YOUR SKIN ORANGE...

...when it's poured on you.

Okay, Emma had a bottle of lucozade, in a bag in her bedroom as she'd bought it earlier that day. We (me, Emma and Maria) were watching Britain's Got Talent, while Emma had her laptop (which I'm using to type this on, actually) on her knee, I was next to her, and Maria had gone to get Emma her Lucozade. Maria returned, and passed it to Emma, before lying down again (we were lying in my mum and dad's room). Emma opens the drink, and all sounds good, but then...the explosion starts. Lucozade spilling out, she quickly moves her arm so rather than spilling all over her laptop, it spills all over me. I was wearing a white T-shirt, which is now stained orange. I was changing shirts when I looked at my stomach and noticed that it was orange. The Lucozade had stained me! Okay, so it came off on the second wash, but still...

HANNIBAL LECTER IS AWESOME

I've never not liked Hannibal. I never watched Hannibal up till last year, and I thought he was pretty cool. And yes, I do realise he eats people, but come on, he saw his little sister being eaten by evil men when he was a little boy! Anyway, I've watched Hannibal Rising, Red Dragon, and Silence of the Lambs (in the order of Hannibal Rising, Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon). I never really got into it (Buffalo Bill was kinda freaky, but, I still liked the films), but I watched Red Dragon with Emma the other night, and I loved it. True, Hannibal is barely in it, but that film is not about Hannibal, is it? And anyway, when he is in it, he's great. Plus, he's portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, who plays Mr.Treves in 'The Elephant Man', which happens to be one of my favourite films, even if it does make me cry.

LAME DINOSAURS ARE GREAT

My favourite is the Dracorex Hogwartsia. Yes, that does mean Hogwarts, as in, Harry Potter. It apparently means "Dragon King of Hogwarts", but I think we all know that "Dracorex" is Draco-rex, as in Draco Malfoy. It was a herbivore with "a skull with spiky horns, bumps, and a long muzzle." (Source; Wikipedia. Oh, how reliable.)

Pwning Harry Potter since 70,000,000 BC.

I don't have anything else to say to you guys right now, but I promise to update every couple of days (unless I have absolutely NOTHING to say).

DFTBA readers.

I Was So Gonna Blog Today.

Thanks for being so loving, Nuggets :)

I'm all happy because me and Jamie just had a proper conversation! She got her computer taken away so we've hardly spoken lately.
Here's a little bit of our conversation;

Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
i cannot wait for summer
when do you stop going to school?
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
July 17th.
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
HAHAHAHA
June 22nd
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
Yeah but I'm British and you wish you were me ;D
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
this is true :(
when do you go back?
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
But you're also my best friend, which means you kind of are half of me. The American part.
September 3rd I think O_O
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
xD! america sucks though :P
i go back like september 9th
haaaaah!
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
America may suck, and you may have shite sweets, and all the cool accents may be British, but...wait, I lost my thought.
OHYEAH
it doesn't constantly rain!
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
OUR SWEETS ARE GOOD.
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
Yeah but ours are better ;D
OH YEAH
do you have Millions?
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
the number?
yes
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
No! The sweets!
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
oh haha, no?
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
OHNO! But they're all yummy. You have to get some somehow.
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
what're they?
&Christofer; AKA; &Caitlin; says:
They're like...I can't describe them! They're...oh, you need your computer! ¬_¬
Jamie; LIKE A BOSS. says:
haha i know, i miss it :(



THAT is why I love my best friend. Well, one reason, anyway. Whenever we argue, all I have to say is 'Yeah but I'm British' and it's an automatic win 99% of the time.


Okay, so I'm determined to go to Leakycon 2011, so Imma go find my money and start saving now. It's all gone missing! DAMMIT.

Urgh.

JAMIEDOESN'THAVEACOMPUTERJAMIEDOESN'THAVEACOMPUTERJAMIEDOESN'THAVEACOMPUTER.

She got it taken away because of "bad grades". I dunno when she's getting it back, so this half term is going to be horrible if she doesn't have it by the end of it. I know we'll be texting like...every day, but still! Text conversations are always slower than MSN conversations.

See, long distance friendships are amazing, and I wouldn't dream of not being friends with some of the people I know now (Jamie, Phoebe, Nat, and of course, the BEDFAYers! I love you guys!), but it's hard when you can't talk to the person.

If I'd known Jamie in person first, we probably wouldn't be best friends now though, so I suppose that makes it all alright. It's annoying sometimes though, I can't even hug my best friend! Damn, why does New Jersey have to be so far away from Liverpool?

Today = Sadness.

Today started fine. We were all joking in the morning, and Tom put Morna's umbrella down while we were still under it, which was quite funny. We were all joking and stuff, t'was great.

Geography and IT (my least favourite lessons, IT is kind of ironic as my life is either in books or on here, but I depspise my teacher) were...bleh, but that was expected. Break was fine, Spanish was great, we just played on games all lesson.

Dinner came. Started off fine, I was the only year 9 there, and we were laughing, it was great. I was told Kate and Laura were crying, but I couldn't find them and figured they'd be alright when they came round. They came round in tears. See, the year 11's left school today. Half of my friends are in year 11. I looked at Laura, because she was crying the worst, and that set me off. It took me so long to stop. When Kate and I had both stopped, we walked over to Laura, and saw a load of our friends walking out of the school (they were allowed to leave by this time). They didn't even say goodbye, and I burst into tears again. I think it was worse with S, as I'm still kind of extremely attached to him, even if he doesn't seem to care about me anymore.

I don't want to write any more, because I'll cry again...so bye.

Caitlin Wants To Be In Boston.

I think everyone is really sick of hearing me say this...but I really wish I was in Boston right now! I badly want to go to LeakyCon (I'm still listening to The Remus Lupins right now, yes), but I, being in stupid England and having no money, can't go. Don't get me wrong, I adore Liverpool! It's just nothing happens. Well, nothing for me. Nothing I'd want to go to.

My little sister, Maria, said yesterday, "Yeah, my friend's auntie is a witch, a proper one, she went to witch school and everything!" I literally spun around (I was sitting on the floor), and shouted, "SHE WENT TO HOGWARTS?!" Shut up, it is real! My letter was just...delayed.

I was explaining horcruxes to Tom C today, and how they killed Voldie, etc, etc. I don't think he cared at all, but he listened to me babble on for 15 minutes (teacher walked in after that), because he's super-sweet like that.

Speaking of Tom's, in RE I sit next to another Tom (R, there's like 5 Tom's in my year, and 3 of them are in my class), and he is in love with my iPod. He was listening to it today, when I had an idea. I took it off him, telling him I was putting a song on for him. I then proceeded to play "Mrs.Nerimon". Tom then clutched his head, screamed "THIS MUSIC DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY, TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF!" I wouldn't turn it off until he'd heard the chorus, and he even drew a target onto the desk and slammed his head on it. Then Tom J shouted him, so I called back "Hang on, I'm just torturing him!" So Tom J nodded and waited. I enjoyed torturing Tom, t'was fun.

Also, I gave Angie her sock puppet today, and she loved it. She ran around showing it to everybody, while my sister, Emma, stood behind her shouting, "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T FIND THIS AMUSING IN THE SLIGHTEST? IS THIS WHAT'S GOING TO REPLACE ME WITH MY BEST FRIEND AFTER FRIDAY?!"

Today was an alright day, aside from the fact that we had geography.
And I still wish I was in Boston.

This Is A Blog For Emma.

Because she asked me to write one.
And to make her a cup of tea. Actually, I think the kettle is about to boil, I'll be right back;

---

Okay, I'm back, with tea! I don't really know what to write about in this blog...okay, hang on, I have an idea;
Me; 'Somebody say something.'
Emma; "Hello."

Hello is such a boring word. I like coming up with different things to say, especially when I'm talking to Jamie. With people I'm not close with, I just stick with "Heyy" or "Heyya", but with Jamie, I like to say different things;

"REMEMBER THAT TIME I PUNCHED YOU IN THE FACE?"

Or I say hello in another language. I don't like plain, boring, common things. Whenever I say goodbye to Jamie, I always say "I love your -insert strange body part here-".

e.g.; "I love your kneecaps."
"I love your ear lobes."
"I love your eyelashes."
etc., etc.

I don't like things that everybody does. I don't like being the same as people. Nowadays, I don't like being around people too much. Like, when my friends were asking me why I wasn't coming to Hub this weekend, I kept saying "I don't like people right now." I don't know why -- that's a complete lie, I know exactly why, I'm just reluctant to admit it -- but nowadays I only talk to a handful of people. I mean, not in a way that I'm ignorant, I'll talk to people if they talk to me, but there's only a few people I'll talk to just because. It's too easy for people to let you down, and I'm sick of people.

My friend Emma (not my sister Emma, my friend Emma) has been my friend for 11-12 years. We do our best to annoy each other, make each other angry, etc. but I love it, because I can't do that with a lot of people. I mean, I spent a whole hour today waving my hands in front of Emma's face and shouting, "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU." And I sing to her too. Every lesson where we're buy each other, or when we walk to lessons together. I like singing, but I'm not good, so I only really sing to Emma. I like it when she doesn't know the song and gets confused.

I've been singing wrock to her lately. Emma (now we're talking about my sister...I know! Confusing.) is the only other one of the people I know R.L. that listen to wrock. I think Angie has listened to a song or two, but I think I listen to the most. I love the way none of my friends listen to it, so it's a little thing I have to myself. The sad thing is, the majority of wrock-related-thingymabobs happen in America, and me being in lil' ol' England can't go. I mean, I actually do love it here in Liverpool, but I wouldn't mind living somewhere more...suitable to my tastes.

God, this blog isn't interesting. Let's tell jokes.

The Big Bad Wolf goes to the Three Little Pigs, "Let me in, or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down!" So the Pigs say, "Go away or we'll sneeze on you!"

There's three girls at school, and they're talking about their names. The first girl says;
"My name is Rose, because when I was born, a rose fell on my head."
The second girl says;
"My name is Lily, because when I was born, a lily fell on my head."
The third girl says;
"WERFJEHBRKJFHBKJBEKBREBQIRBE!!! -Flails arms-"
The first girl then says;
"Shut up, Fridge!"

---

Uhh, my brain has gone blank and I can't think of any more.
Yer know what? That'll do (Donkeh, that'll do.)

Hasta la byebye,

Mondays Are Usually Worse Than This.

School today;
HISTORY - Completely easy. We read the two pages and sir made us write numbers next to the paragraphs which were answers to the questions, so it took about 3 minutes to actually do.

SPANISH - Sir was cranky, but the work he set was still easy. Whenever I had to translate, I knew everything, and was able to save everyone on my table (along with Ben, God, he was great today!) from having to answer.

R.E. - Tom annoyed me. He threw my pen on the floor and wouldn't pick it up, so I wouldn't give him my iPod, but then Jay said something about what Tom was listening to (it was Slipknot, just so you know) being 'slit-your-wrists' music. That made me laugh so much.

MATHS - Got our overall results for our maths SATs, I got 116/150, which is a level 8. I was second highest in my class. I'm usually first, but in all honesty, I only care about my English results, and I'm always highest in them. -Waits to fail when she gets her English results back- Oh, and we watched Legally Blonde because I brought it in and we're cool like that.

P.E. - We were being evaluated on our rounders, but I don't care because I hate P.E., have no idea how I got in top set, and I'm not taking it next year. I didn't get out though, and when we played team rounders, we got 15 rounders (should've been more, but there was a big kafuffle so miss took 8 off), and the other team didn't get any.


So surprisingly, it was actually an alright school day, which is surprising because I despise Mondays because we have maths and P.E., but it was good today.

I just had another piece of our Maria's cake, and it's a lot nicer today than yesterday. It tastes cakier today somehow. Imma go get more food, I'm still hungry.

I'm Ol' Gregg.

I bought my sisters birthday presents today! I won't say what it is incase she reads this, but I'm happy with them. And if she doesn't like them...tough kahootins, I'll have 'em.

I'm eating strawberry laces. Do Americans really not have strawberry laces, or is Jamie trying to make me sad? If you guys don't, I'm never going to live in America. I love English sweets. I don't think I could live without them. I should be so fat, it doesn't make sense how I'm underweight! I NEVER STOP EATING.

After next Friday, there's a 99% chance I'll never/almost never see some of my friends again. I said this to Sam, and he was like "I have MSN, we can talk there." But over the past 3 months, we've had two actual proper conversations, and one of them was about the fact that...after next Friday we probably won't ever see each other again. I miss Sam. I miss him a lot. Sucksssssssss.

I've eaten all my strawberry laces. I actually did the whole -turns packet upside-down and shakes- thing. -Sadness-

MySpace is so boring nowadays. It only exists for music and pointless quizzes for me anymore. I need to do something productive, I have way too much time on my hands. I was going to start learning Billy (my guitar, yes, I did name him), but I can't find the book. I think it's in Emma's room, but she says it's not.

Have you realised I'm typing every little thing that pops into my head? I needed something to do. Cheese is a kind of meat. Why yes! I am a huge, crazy Boosh fan! What's that? You don't know what the Boosh is? THE MIGHTY BOOSH. The most hilarious, surreal, insane TV show, ever. Youtube it. Now. No, I mean. Why are you still reading this? Go on! Go! YOUTUBE.

If you have just done as I said, and went to youtube, typed in 'The Mighty Boosh' and watched all the amazing Booshiness, you'll understand the title now.

Now, I'm off to...errr...get a drink. Yes, that's what I want to do.

My Parents Threw Away My Memories.

I came home from school, and they said they'd taken some bags from the loft to the tip. I joked, and said, "I hope it wasn't my teddies!" You see, I have too many teddies, so I had to put some of them in a big bag in the loft last year, because there was no room for them in my bedroom.My dad looked at me, his eyes slightly wider than usually and the edges of his mouth pointing towards the floor, and said "We did."

There was a sickening jolt inside of me, like something had been ripped out of me. I kept my smile, and said "You didn't," telling myself he was joking. He repeated that they had. My mum started saying that they were dusty or something, but I wasn't listening. I'd had some of those teddies since before I started school. I know for a fact that there was a teddy in their that when we were learning first aid in Brownies (yes, I went to Brownies, this is NOT the time for jokes), we had to bring in a teddy, and I brought him in, and practiced bandaging injuries, etc, on him.

I can't believe it. I know it's kind of sad, but I've always been really attached to my teddies. I used to have two dragon teddies, an orange one with blue spots and a blue one with orange spots, and I was saying the other day how I miss them, and now I'm afraid I'll never see them again.It's not fair. If I threw away something that belonged to them, no matter whether they used them anymore or not, I'd get into so much trouble. They know how protective I am over the teddies in my bedroom, and I don't know why they thought it'd be any different for these. They were still my teddies; they still belonged to me, and I didn't even get a say in what happened to them.

It seems kind of pathetic how upset I am right now, but I don't care, I am this upset.
