Went to bed at 4am last night. Stupid right? Fact is I couldn't sleep and felt sick from all the christmas food I'd ate. Hehe. I woke up at 1 today and dragged my feet downstairs, and still managed to eat another roast dinner. Mmm.
Had a shower and lazed around for a bit...then Mum and Dad announced we were going to Comet to look at the sales. Boxing Day Sales = Manic. We went into Comet and Uhm-ed and Arr-ed at TV's for David and Sam, and I was told a Netbook "wasn't necessary" so decided to go for an amazing black classic ipod ....120GB of pure love. Its so sexy, and I got a speaker with it too which is really HQ and a metal case =D Rachey is a very happy bunny. She is listening to "Nemo" right now on it =D
So yeah, David and Sam got a tv each...32" one. Like half price from some ridiculous figure...they are awesome.
Christmas ROCKS <3
But, I have to work tomorrow ='( Sucks.

2 trolleys full
...Of christmas food shopping : I fully expect to be 10 stone bigger by December 26th.
Woke up at 10 today, really really tired. Didn't get a shower and then went up to the dry cleaners and Somerfield with Mum. We had to take my coat and scarf to be cleaned because whilst in the carol service at church last night, I was being dripped on by boiling hot candle wax. Not impressed!
After literally fighting for a parking space we went into Somerfield. Yeah...So we managed to fill about 2 trolleys full this morning of everything from Shloer to Pigs-in-a-blanket sausages for christmas, and we did go a little mad, but my mum's friend gave us a discount saving us about £30 lol. Still pricey though.
Came back home, had lunch, did not a lot else really. Im just sat here listening to Dark Passion Play, feeling hungry and very bored. Where is everyone? Hardly anyone is online.
Im now listening/singing to Sahara by Nightwish. Oh! And I bought the Wicked soundtrack from HMV yesterday for £8...bargain. So much for christmas shopping for others.....that was for myself ;)
Should be going to Waitrose soon to get puddings for christmas day, and to get Dad a christmas present lol. Hope he likes chocolate.....

Harmonizing - Clocks.
Coldplay - Clocks
I can harmonize to this song...
Mum and I were driving back from Derby, and it was nice us singing together...
Love this song..

Mum and I were driving back from Derby, and it was nice us singing together...
Love this song..
Put it all to the back of your mind.
That's what I need to do. Put it all at the back of my mind. Don't worry, Don't stress and Don't dwell on things. It's christmas in 4 days. Christmas ....Time for sharing, warmth, love, celebrating and thanking. Happy times. Never mind the presents. Let's look forward to that.
I awoke to the sound of my Mum entering my room, switching on my lamp and asking for the hairdryer at 7:50am this morning. I had managed to fall asleep just 5 hours earlier, and suprisingly didn't throw something at my mum to let me sleep, or shout abuse at her either. That sounds awful, but you should see me in the morning. Well, I think anyone is like that when they have just been awoken. But anyway, this time I was calm..I just lay in bed and played on my Driving Theory Test game on my DS before jumping into the shower at eight a.m.
We set off for Derby at about half 8, and arrived at Cannock Mcdonalds and I begged mum for a double sausage and egg mcmuffin meal with a hash brown and hot chocolate. Yeah, I'm greedy...but I was also starving. We batted down the A38 to Derby and at about 10 we got to Westfield =]. I love it there. It's a state of the art , 1 year old shopping center ...or is it 2? Anyway, we did loads of shopping, spent like half an hour in the Yankee Candle shop...and ate muffins and espresso's in costa coffee. Mmmm, this is the life.
After like 2 hours of shopping, escaping the nattering Gregg's Lady...and a costly parking fee we went up to Belper to see my great aunt Joyce. She's got Altziemers, and Im not going to talk too much about it on here cause frankly it depresses me...
We visited my great uncle Eric who is 76 and seems to know everything about the technological world, and has a better TV than us!...Whose catching who up now??
After visiting yet more people, including my mum's cousins house...which is like a minature Chatsworth (Yeah, big stately home in Derbyshire). We made our way home, and stopped off for some dinner at Seven Wells. Mmm Lasagne.
Got home, hung my new Monsoon decorations on the tree and then played with Max =] Poor Max , his leg isnt very well =[
So yeah, that was my day. I keep changing my mind about what I want for christmas though, I mean its the 21st now so I better make my mind up. But I have gone from an Ipod Classic, to an Xbox 360...to a TV...to ...finally. A camcorder. Sony Handycam DVD one! Woop =]
And if you havent noticed , I'm feeling much cheerier now. Things are looking up, and I prefer to be like this..not in my "I hate the world" mood. Its not me, and its not good.
Note to self : It's christmas....cheer up duck!
That is all.

Pass the tissues
I think ive gone through more than 1000 tissues now this week. Stupid flu, making my eyes water, nose sniffle and making me feel weak and weary.
I want to go christmas shopping desperatley, I mean I've bought nothing for Mum or Dad and need to do it soonish otherwise it will be christmas eve by the time Im wrapping up their presents....So better get a move on. Trouble is I cant, not yet...not when Im feeling this awful. *sigh*
Ive spent the majority of the day under my duvet on the sofa watching property programmes like Country House Rescue and A Place By The Sea. Yeah, Im cool.
My brother's dont seem to understand that I am ill, I cant do a lot else except keeping warm and drinking disgusting hot blackcurrant drinks and blowing my nose every 5 seconds. They think Im sciving and that. Grrrrr.....Brothers -_-
Driving Lesson on Friday...If im well enough. He'll probably make me do reversing again and 3 point turns...which are quite fun but on the last one I managed to hit the curb. Nevertheless Im sure I'll be alright to drive..
Got nothing planned for this week, except that cause Im not well. Just typing this I feel like Im in a different world, and Im just watching myself type. I feel so tired all the time, and weak. No energy, and even Relentless energy drink doesnt help. It sucks.
Ah Yes I want one of these for christmas..
Or one of these
Yeah, the list goes on LOL

50th post. Feels 50 x worse.
Oh I love life.
Happy 50th post Rachel. We're proud you managed to achieve 50 posts. Hooray.
Just to warn everyone, anyone , you . This is a rant post. Because I am in a ranting mood. Life is pretty crap right now.
I had someone, until they left me. So thanks a lot.
You know, I thought we had something special, we could have been together for a long time. Obviously you didnt feel the same, and Rachel had her heart broken once again. Im giving up on love now. I be myself and no one comes running to me with arms open wide shouting "I love you for who you are! Nothing is impossible, I'll do anything for you!". No, It doesnt happen.
Ive got the flu. I've been stuck inside since Sunday with a streaming cold, sore throat, aching body and runny nose. It sucks and I cant wait until it goes which better be soon as christmas is around the corner.
Oh yes, and Im also fed up of people judging others all the bloody time. Bitch Bitch Bitch BITCHES. Thats all girls are, I hate it. No one can just accept the fact that people arent perfect, and one minor flaw doesnt mean you hate someone! Give people chances! Ive always been taught and have been brought up to look after the people who are quiet or need a friend. I appreciate everyone nevermind if they arent perfect. And who is perfect? Yeh so stop critisising my friends and leave us alone.
Also the EMA people can go screw themselves. And college cause they only are paying me £60 worth of EMA the WHOLE time I was at college (Sept-End of Oct). Thanks a lot.
Not been working either cause stupid guy stole my job until the 27th of December. So had no money, not seen my work friends and its completley unfair.
So yeah life sucks
Why cant things go right for a change? Honestly! Its like a chain of unfortunate events in my life!
The times I encourage people to be positive, happy and enjoy life seem to be working in reverse and its now ME who is suffering.
:'( I dont like this
at all.
Please can I just have a nice guy who will stick with me no matter what??
Thats all I want

Yeah I cant write songs
Where am I if I am not with you?
Frozen memories stay so true
I look back, back into my life
And I see, I see
There was hope
There was faith
There was love
Its still the same
There is all the things
That I imagine
But what we are
Is still so tragic
Nothing more
Nothing less
I can feel your love surround me
But was it real?
But was it real?
Cheese.

Gloop...
is a rather fun thing that we make at training :D Its solid when you hold it , and then when you let go its a liquid :D Its so cool...we have so much fun :P
Yeah training is good, Im so happy to be finally settled in something...I've made new friends and the subject is really my kind of thing.
Well, today we had to learn about child protection and that was very upsetting... =( Our teacher Michelle read us the Baby P story and it was so sad, she was crying by the end of it and I felt like crying too. How could a mother do such awful things to her own child? Makes me sick.
So the day dragged on and we finished at about 3, then Mum came and picked me up and we went to New College (WHY?!..You're thinking) . Well I had to sign some forms about EMA and I just stayed in the car, not going back in that crappy place and scared of going back there so..yeah. We went back home and went to woolworths where everything is so cheap and theres basically no stock in there, heck I bought a christmas card for 70p!. Then I went to the hairdressers and Im getting my hair cut on Friday...wasn't happen when they revealed the price ..hmph. Went to Somerfield and got some stuff for tea, and I bought Sams christmas present haha :P Its cool. Wont write it on here though ;) Secret stuff.
So yah, that was basically my day. Driving again on Friday, Getting on a train to see Mark on Saturday, christmas stuff on Sunday . As for the rest of this week, just training again...making posters woop woop! :P
Not much to report to be honest, Im absoloutley shattered.
Waiting on my new shoes, belt, Nicky's present, Mark's present and other stuff in the post... HURRY UP lol
*sings* Frozen? But what can I do? *sings*

Stress
You experience , feel, see , meet it everywhere...yes that human emotion called "stress"
I am blogging about the word stress as it is the emotion I feel at the moment.
Take "The X factor" for example . Hype. Hype. Hype. I can't begin to imagine the levels of stress that surrounds that show, not just for the finalists giving it their all to win on the huge glossy stage performing in front of millions...but for the people who sit backstage buzzing around computers and LCD screens without stopping, to ensure everything flows smoothy. I can't imagine how intense that must be, getting everything exactly right...& you're live on air.
My friend's uncle is the technical director for the x factor, and wow do I salute you.
Today I haven't felt great. Tetchy is more the word. I'm tired, thats why. Its my own fault 'cause I don't go to bed until the early hours of the morning...and it's midnight now. I just can't seem to get to bed early.
I don't like feeling like this, I get things wrong, I react to everything so sensitively...part of being over tired I guess.
Today has been so bloody boring. Did absoloutley nothing, so earlier on I decided to escape the house and walk Max. It was around 4:30pm..just around the time it goes dark. The sunset was beautiful as always, and it was freezing but It was almost like I wanted to be cold...to be refreshed. The feeling of walking over frozen grass is unusual but so very wintery. Speaking of winter and frost, where is this darn snow they keep going on about? I hate the metrocenter sometimes, they dont have a clue where shropshire is and they just forcast everything for London or whatever...they said we would get snow this week but nothing happened.
I've realised I do need to stop worrying about every stupid little thing. Not that I didnt realise this long ago...Its just so hard to stop. Whenever I feel unsure , I will worry about it. Whenever I feel I have done something wrong, or upset somebody (even if I havent) I will worry. Its part of being me and I hate it, I need to stop stressing out...It does no good for me.
I remember when I had to admit to not being able to swim at the age of 10 in front of my class, and it really really got to me. I did do the lessons but was so worried about it, people seeing me in a swimsuit and that. In the end I did manage to do my 200m , and all that worrying was for nothing really. I try and put my worries behind me, and think to myself "its never as bad as you make out to be" ...that seems to calm me. But honestly, If I could change ...the first thing would be not to worry so much.
Stress.Stress.Stress.Stress
Blogging helps cure stress? Does it?
[Rachel he loves you, dont be so hard on yourself......I love you ...I love you.... I love you ... :)]
Im going to a christening tomorrow for baby Finlay. Starts at 10am in the morning and will have to leave the house at 9:30 *cries*. I cant be bothered and after we're going to the swan at forton and having a carvery, and I have work to do and ARGH STRESS.
>.< I want him to hold me, I want it to be Ok, I want him to be here now <3

The week that was..
What a week. Honestly, so much has happened this week I dont know if I want to tell you all about it, but here goes.
Ive been at training most of the week, making posters, coping with the rude new people, slipping over and hurting myself - Yeah thats the training side of the week. I still have loads to go on my Unit 1 assignment and was supposed to be cracking on with it today until...today.
On wednesday I was told by work that I had no job until the 27th of December which absoloutley sucks, cause Im supposed to work every saturday and a new guy has taken all of my hours...so I have no money coming in. I complained to my bastard of a manager and he just said "someone has to go"...Funny as it is always me...He's always hated me. Im job hunting, cant cope with their crappy management. It's totally unfair treatment, and me and this other guy have worked the same shifts before. So now I have no job, nothing to do on a saturday. Well, until next saturday ;).
So that was that, and yesterday I didnt go into training cause I didnt feel well. My arm/sides hurt from where I slipped over and felt crap tbh. I missed decorating cookies with icing apparently :( Oh well. We are making gloop (cornflower and water) on Monday so that should be fun, I havent missed out completley! Oh, I really dont miss college one bit :)
So yeh today, I had a bit of a traumatic time tbh. Woke up and had cramp in my leg, sprung out of bed in pain as you do, and managed to stop it. Went to the bathroom and felt awfully sick, and my sight started to go, felt white and dizzy. So I called Mum and my head was swinging backwards and forwards..."Mum, I feel faint!!"...Mum was about to walk out of the front door and she came rushing to me. I felt awful, she kept talking to me and I could hear her but it was distant...I was fainting. I moved myself out of the bathroom and kinda collapsed but put myself into the recovery position and felt Ok after a few minutes. It was awful, and I felt awful, I looked awful..my lips were blue and I was very very pale. Dave got me some relentless and I drank that.... *sigh*....Im Ok now, But that was so horrible...and loosing control of your body is something no one wants to go through.
So after that trauma, I cancelled my driving lesson...and have just chilled out most of the day cause I still dont feel 100%. I bought some new shoes off grindstore though :) yay.
So yes, Ive had a bit of a hectic week. The fainting just topped it all off to be honest, bleh I feel crap..
New blog header by the way :) Sharon rules always.

Ice comes at a price.
Woke today in pitch black darkness. Guess that isn't going to change anytime soon, being winter and all.
Decided to straighten my hair, well attempt to..I managed it and it looked nice so I was like yay :) Luckily I didnt suffer with another migraine today so I count myself lucky, If I stay out of the cold I'll be fine.
Power walked to the bus stop in the freezing cold, jumped on the bus which was late...no suprise there...and who was on it? Not only my so called friends and their little ring leader who insisted on shouting abuse down the bus, I had to put up with that for half an hour. Joy.
Got to training earlyish, the lift was working for once. Zara was late and basically the whole day consisted of walking to Fitness First twice , listening to mouthy 19 year olds talk about how labour isnt that bad, coping with complete boredom and slipping on ice on the way home. I really hurt myself, and my knee is all bruised...:( .
I got home after seeing Sophie on the bus, and just stayed at home all evening listening to Sash Songs ...anthems of my childhood. I used to love music like that, I want his greatest hits album now.
I hope tomorrow will be OK cause we have another 5 people joining our group and its gonna be all over the place, Whitney , Aimee , Rosemary and Rachel are turning into some really great friends of mine and have been helping me and nice to me since day 1...We're decorating the room for christmas tomorrow :)
I feel so happy with my life at the moment. I've got an amazing boyfriend, an awesome new course which is going to get me such a rewarding job, I'm learning to drive and getting better week by week and I finally feel accepted and happy. This year has been one of the longest, I've faced new challenges, realised I am able to do Maths (I got a C at GCSE)...Made new friends, lost old friends...found someone who actually appreciates and loves me...and let me tell you...that is so amazing!
I feel I have changed as a person, I can make my own decisions much more easily. I dont need to listen to what other people say and automatically accept that as right for me. Im mature and confident, and I love who I am growing to become.
Wow, what a speech.
Decided to straighten my hair, well attempt to..I managed it and it looked nice so I was like yay :) Luckily I didnt suffer with another migraine today so I count myself lucky, If I stay out of the cold I'll be fine.
Power walked to the bus stop in the freezing cold, jumped on the bus which was late...no suprise there...and who was on it? Not only my so called friends and their little ring leader who insisted on shouting abuse down the bus, I had to put up with that for half an hour. Joy.
Got to training earlyish, the lift was working for once.

For Nicole.
Nicky, keep in there sunshine. Dont worry about mocks, dont worry about being ill, that is not your fault. You are awesome and I love you like you are my own sister. You are always there for me and you keep me going when I feel down and low. We will always be best friends and I know it :) I love you my twilight fanatic nightwish obsessed best friend/sister.

My funky inner hair colour!
| Your Hair Should Be Blue |
 You're a risk taker with an eye to the future. |
Frozen - Voyage
Sung by Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation
Never look back 'cause it hurts.
My heart is so cold I feel the frost,
Never look back.
I feel the darkness on my shoulder,
The frost is in my heart.
So cold my hair is frozen,
Touching my skin, my flesh.
Sometimes I regret I had to do,
'Cause our love was somehow true.
But I had to leave you,
For the sake of the moods.
Frozen tears turn into my skin.
Frozen memories of you.
Sometimes I see your face,
As pure as you are mine.
I feel the darkness on my shoulder,
The frost is in my heart.
So cold my hair is frozen,
Touching my skin, my flesh.
Never look back because it hurts.
My heart is so cold I feel the frost,
Never look back.
I feel the darkness on my shoulder, the frost is in my heart
Frozen- Voyage
Frozen, thats what I am. Do you know how cold it is outside? Wherever you are in the world right now dont plan a holiday to England at this time of year unless you want to be completley freezing.
I woke up today at about 6:30...I wasn't supposed to be awake then so with that happy feeling you get when you can go back to sleep for another hour , I dozed back off to sleep.
After getting ready which takes absoloutley ages, I wandered downstairs and looked out the window. A shower of frost had been sprinkled above everything, watched over by a crisp, light blue early morning sky. It is, after all, the first of December...and what a perfect scene to start the day. Nevertheless it was absoloutley freezing outside! I drank my coffee and did the stupid thing of having cold apple juice soon after, forcing my head into uncontrolable pain and leaving me with a horrible migraine....and I had to be at training for 9:30. I lay down and soothed my aching head with a heat pad...I didn't feel well at all =(
The pain wore off and I got into training late after mum dropped me off. 3 new people had joined our group and they seem nice, we learnt about planning activities for children between 0-5 and next week we get to try some of the activities ourselves and make posters....How I don't miss college!
We finished at around 12, and I finished part 2 of my assignment...I looked out of the window and snow flakes began to fall...I felt all christmassy.
I got home on the bus and saw my friend on there, we had a good chat. You see everyone on the 481 these days, its like where people choose to hang out or something lol. A moving chill out zone maybe? Oh and the usual OAP's who take up all the seats...Bless them.
I got in after escaping icy rain and Mum was wrapping christmas presents. The countdown begins...!
I haven't got a lot planned for today, and I dont feel like doing anything. I certainly dont want my migraine coming on again, I just feel so exhausted and hungry...
*Looks out of the window*....The sky has been that snowy, icy blue colour all day...Its magical.

So I got home and put the pre-lit one up in the conservatory and it looks really nice :) Smudgey and Billy tried to eat it, and then they fell asleep in the box haha cute.
I dont miss college at all!!!! I started my apprenticeship last Monday and its awesome! Started on 2 days of first aid training, doing CPR on dummies and stuff like that...rather fun! Everyone is so nice there :) there's an american girl and shes so funny...love everyone already!...and there's 2 other Rachel's..haha.
Im really happy :) I found someone at last...and he's amazing :) xx

2nd Blog of the day.
ANOTHER BLOG?!
What on earth is going on here? Truth is...I felt like it Okay?
You may or may have not read my first blog today...giving the details of the past month.
But , this 2nd blog is just a usual blog...
Today, I woke up and found myself home alone. Everyone was at work and school...and so I went downstairs and flicked on the TV. You would be suprised that morning TV is actually very good! So I turned onto channel 4 and there was a documentary on about a 17 year old guy who is hooked on weed. Sad story really, he's violent and addicted and his family have to suffer. Felt sorry for his sister who cant cope much longer with his violent outbursts. :( and I thought my brother's were bad....
Then I watched to buy or not to buy...which I love. Im sad for a 17 year old, watching all these property programmes..but hey! It passed the time.
Went upstairs and hung around the computer for a while until Mum came back, and then we went to ASDA. I've always loved ASDA...everything is stupidly cheap with buy one get one free offers and tons of stuff for a mere £1. Mum says I make her spend money so I was trying to be good but we ended up spending more than we needed too.... guess that was cause of those delicious yum yum's.....*ahh*
We came back from ASDA and I got a mcdonalds mmm . I had the M burger and it was delicious, then off we went to pick up David and Sam from School.
After seeing my old school again I felt a twinge of sadness, I really did like school. Sure it had its ups and downs, the painful homework and coursework, stupid PE lessons and patheticness of the teacher who wrote you down as late at 9:55 in the morning ....but I miss school really. I left in June and have only been back for my GCSE results and that was it really. I miss the support of Mrs Lloyd my form tutor, the good friends, my science lessons (which was a doss...but I still managed a C pass!) and just the general atmosphere. I felt old when the rest of them came out and some of them recognised me I think....ah those school memories.
Now Im at home, Ive just washed up and cleaned the kitchen a bit cause it was messy as heck..and now Im on here...blogging away. Its weird cause I have these little sessions where I have to clean...Its like the other day I woke up and said to Sam...Ok Im hoovering your room...make way lol :P Ah well..
Now , outside it is cold..and the sun is melting away into the horizon until you can only see a smidgen of it left...the sky is swept with a blanket of darkness...and tiny stars are emerging from their wake.
Yes. There are some things I do love about winter.

I Think I'll try defying gravity...
.....you'll never bring me down.
Defying Gravity - Wicked.
Well, here I am again, blogging. I didnt think Id see this coming for a while. So much has happened in the last month its hard to fit it all in.
October
It was my 17th birthday on the 17th of october. I had the day off college and had gone to the swan at forton for my birthday lunch with mum, donna, mark and marks mum and baby finlay. In the evening my dad and I went to pick up Nicky from Manchester as I had invited her to stay with us for my birthday weekend. It was so great to see her again, and the next day we boarded a cramped train to Birmingham for a shopping spree at the bullring. We had an awesome time comprising of lots of shopping, gawping at £59 Gucci baby gro's in Selfridges, and seeing live bands outside as part of this Festibull event that was taking place. It was great!
Ok so I had an awesome birthday weekend, but it was the completle opposite at New College. So you might have seen my blog about my first week at New College and got the impression it was all hunky-dory...and it was! I wont deny that. But over the course of October I had so many problems with friends, not feeling accepted and had lost all interest in wanting to work. I had to move media groups because I couldnt cope with it, and had faced stress after stress.
So I carried on, thinking ah It will get better....I'll meet new people and such. So I kept optimistic.
Last week I went on a trip to London with the english department and dont get me wrong it was an amazing trip. We visited the natural history museum, science museum, war museum, walked around London after catching hundreds of tube's...saw 2 amazing shows including Wicked which was the highlight of this trip and the song from it called "Defying Gravity" became my number 1 song at the moment....I had an amazing time. But during the way home, I had a thought to myself. This was great, showing people around London (I had been the week before) ...leading people....I didnt want to go back to college and get back into the hard slog of A-Levels. This, along with everything else eventually lead to days of worry, sadness and despair on what to do. It came to the decision that I was to leave college and start something new, something pratical that I could get stuck into and...earn money.
So if anyone reads this, It has been a very interesting month...well year for me. I passed all my GCSE's...got to college..couldnt handle it and now im off on something completley different.
I hope I can see what is right for me not what is right for everyone else. Things that I thought were going to suit me have turned out the opposite way, and friends I thought I had...well they werent friends in the end.
So. I guess thats a MAJOR update.

Black Symphony
....is ...amazing.
I cant describe it!
My day has been so great!
I woke up to Mum telling me my "package" had arrived. So I was thinking, Oh it cant be Black Symphony 'cause that doesnt come out until Monday.
But guess what? It was...It had arrived!
I tore open the packaging with anticipation and held in my hands the sexiest, book like music dvd case Ive ever seen, with the amazing Black Symphony Art on the front. The words "This really is the greatest show on earth" scrolling along the top of the dvd...wow.
I rushed upstairs, grabbed a shower, came out, stuck the dvd in the drive, and managed to watch the opening and jillian...and at the same time get ready for work...Sigh. I really wanted to watch my DVD!
I arrived at work at 12 and it was so quiet, I didnt know what to do. I mainly did washing up/drying all day, taking food out, cleaning tables and other random stuff like cutting cake for 4 hours. Finished my shift, Dad picked me up and we went to Maplins and Blockbuster. Then we went to Somerfield and after got a menu from the chinese.
After getting home, I switched the pc on again to watch Black Symphony and watched up to "the howling". I was called down for my chinese which was gorgeous, and after Id finished ran back upstairs to watch the rest of the dvd. SInce half 6 Ive been watching it.
Its amazing, the orchestra build up, duet's with Anneke , George and Keith...unplayed live songs like "the swan song" (which im listening to as I type this) ...the pyro...effects...songs which sound fantastic and epic like "the promise" just blew me away. I was mesmerised.
The only thing Im trying to get used to is the way its filmed, its quite fast moving and has effects like slow mo and things. Its quite choppy, and doesnt stay in a certain angle for more than 5 seconds, its much more advanced than The Silent Force tour dvd. But nevertheless its amazing!
After watching the whole concert at Ahoy, I watched the backstage extra's, spotted my friend Rachel Ruano who was interviewed before the concert, saw the "countdown" which was really cool and then after that watched the eindhoven concert...the one I was at! It was awesome knowing I could experience it again and again, and the fact I was actually there with Nicky totally rocks! I watched the backstage bits, and the tour part, and all in all its a fantastic dvd!
If you do buy it, make sure you have your wow effects turned up on media player it makes a LOT of difference ;)
Signing out

New College
Ok so I havent posted anything for a while, and the reason for that is Ive started college this week and I've been rather busy.
Monday 8th September
Ah so the day had come for me to start at my new college in Wellington. I got up at 7am and jumped in the shower....(way too early for me) . Got dressed , went downstairs but couldnt eat anything and then walked to the bus stop where I saw Helen and Jordan waiting for me.
The bus was late and we all got on it to see half of BBS on there (typical) =P and off we went to college.
Got at New College dead early and just wandered about speaking to people for like half an hour. Then me and jordan went to the libary to collect our timetables and we were in luck as we are in the same form :) Wooo. So we got to form and we have the crazy but nice french teacher Jo. She's really friendly, and also in my form there is Amy who I've known on the internet since like 2006..then Jack L, Vorny and Mel from BBS.
During tutor time she made us play "icebreakers" and we sorted out our timetable. This guy I met called Tim who is half french is really nice, and then theres Joe who is such a legend. So after like an hour or so, we all had to go to the hall for an assembly. The place was packed and I sat next to Joe. As we were sitting down, Joe kept looking around and he said "Arent these people so BEAUTIFUL! I mean just look at them BEAUTIFUL!" And im like LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Ah he's so hilarious, I need to pair him up with Andy =P.
So after the principal of the college drivelled on about how it took him 30 years to swim, we all went out and back into form. I went to my travel and tourism lesson, and oh boy, wish I hadnt!. Seriously they are all retards, they dont know a thing. I mean, not boasting or anything but I have quite a good sence of geography and capital cities and that. But this girl thought that Amsterdam was the capital of Lithuania...and another girl didnt know where Jersey was! I kept answering all the teachers questions and I felt really brainy. The majority of the people in there have really crap GCSE grades...and Im sitting there with 1 A* , 2 A's, 4 B's and 3 C's. So, you get my gist. They are only taking it cause its 70% coursework which the awfully boring teacher who makes me yawn keeps going on about. "ONLY take this course if you like coursework, remember its ..Look, I wont say it again....... 70% Coursework!". -_-
The work is so easy, like I finished all my work before anyone else.
So yeah, that was tourism *yawn*
After my 40 minute lunch, It was time for media. So off I went to find the class, and I was late so when I arrived everyone was looking at me ..Sigh . So I sat down to this scary looking girl, and Harvey our teacher made us do some icebreakers. We had to find out different things about the person next to us. So I turned to the then "scary looking girl" and she was dead nice! Her names Heather and she's also doing Art. But as I write this now she has decided to drop media :( *cries*. Ok so after the ice breaker, we watched skins and had to make notes on storylines etc. Then it was time for break, so me and heather hung out together and she is so awesome. We swapped myspace addys and now we are becoming really good mates! Like shes sooooo cool :).
Then at 4pm it was hometime, and caught the AT brown bus back from New College.
The day had gone rather well and I met lots of lovely people.
Tuesday 9th September
So on Tuesday, I got into Spanish and I was like 10 mins early so Maggie my teacher made me sort out some PC problem for her (which is like soooo easy) . Then everyone else came in and I felt at home straight away. They are all there because they love spanish like me! Cause at BBS the majority just wanted to get their C and get the hell outta there. But not me, I wanted to get my A*. (and I did). So after some icebreakers, and lots of talking in spanish. Then Maggie mentioned a trip to Barcelona in March and im just sitting there like... WOW. COOL!
We did some work and by the time we had finished all of that it was time for tourism.
I got to tourism and it was like packed, loads of people had joined the class....and they were mostly 2nd years retaking it. I was sat on my own between two 2nd years and they were discussing how many E's they had in their GCSE's..*sigh*
So we all sat down at the PC's and got to work on our maps. Everyone was asking me questions and I was in utter shock when this girl asked me if Dunkerque was a country : . Dumbo.
After the girls trying to copy my work , I finished most of the work and at 1pm went home. Got the 55 then 481 which took like a whole hour, and got home at 2:30! YAY! :)
Wednesday 10th September
The day when I was half deaf. Seriously. I woke up and couldnt hear anything out of my right ear. When I got to college, I could hardly hear anything aah it was horrible. I got to college at like 11:20 as I had no morning lesson. I went straight to tutorial and saw everyone, and we got our ID Cards...my photo is awful. Then we got given this huge folder thing with tons of sheets in I will never read. Oh well.
After lunch and having the best tuna baguette in the world from greggs. Me and Alex P went back and I went straight to English. And wow, is my english class hilarious. The teacher is lovely, and my class is small but they are all really nice and on my level of intelligence thank god. We all had a right laugh and at about 40 mins into the lesson my hearing came back and I was like YES!. After the break we all did speed dating and me and Joe had a good laugh =P He's so awesome!. The course sounds well good, like travel writing and things. And guess where we get to go in November? London! To see 2 west end shows including Wicked! and the war museum, shopping and camden market. Plus 1 night in a B+B. Wooo Cant wait. English Rocks :)
Thursday 11th September
Today. Ok so I wasnt half deaf today wooo :). Got up early again, and felt awfully sick. Got on the bus and it was packed. Then got into media and we have this awesome teacher called Graeame. He really makes you learn, and is so enthusiastic. We looked at how photos give us certain connotations, and next lesson we get to do photography wooo!!
Spanish was ok, and tourism ...well I finished all my work 15 mins early so I was outta there. I dunno whether to stick with it or not...
Im getting bored of doing this blog, but yeh I came home at like 5 so wasnt too happy, and Ive been watching the silent force tour dvd to cheer me up :) Ahhh <3
TOMORROW IS MY FREE DAY ! YES!!!!!!!!
Adios xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Then me and jordan went to the libary to collect our timetables and we were in luck as we are in the same form :) Wooo. So we got to form and we have the crazy but nice french teacher Jo. She's really friendly, and also in my form there is Amy who I've known on the internet since like 2006..then Jack L, Vorny and Mel from BBS.
During tutor time she made us play "icebreakers" and we sorted out our timetable. This guy I met called Tim who is half french is really nice, and then theres Joe who is such a legend. So after like an hour or so, we all had to go to the hall for an assembly. The place was packed and I sat next to Joe. As we were sitting down, Joe kept looking around and he said "Arent these people so BEAUTIFUL! I mean just look at them BEAUTIFUL!" And im like LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Ah he's so hilarious, I need to pair him up with Andy =P.
So after the principal of the college drivelled on about how it took him 30 years to swim, we all went out and back into form. I went to my travel and tourism lesson, and oh boy, wish I hadnt!. Seriously they are all retards, they dont know a thing. I mean, not boasting or anything but I have quite a good sence of geography and capital cities and that. But this girl thought that Amsterdam was the capital of Lithuania...and another girl didnt know where Jersey was! I kept answering all the teachers questions and I felt really brainy. The majority of the people in there have really crap GCSE grades...and Im sitting there with 1 A* , 2 A's, 4 B's and 3 C's. So, you get my gist. They are only taking it cause its 70% coursework which the awfully boring teacher who makes me yawn keeps going on about. "ONLY take this course if you like coursework, remember its ..Look, I wont say it again....... 70% Coursework!". -_-
The work is so easy, like I finished all my work before anyone else.
So yeah, that was tourism *yawn*
After my 40 minute lunch, It was time for media. So off I went to find the class, and I was late so when I arrived everyone was looking at me ..Sigh . So I sat down to this scary looking girl, and Harvey our teacher made us do some icebreakers. We had to find out different things about the person next to us. So I turned to the then "scary looking girl" and she was dead nice! Her names Heather and she's also doing Art. But as I write this now she has decided to drop media :( *cries*. Ok so after the ice breaker, we watched skins and had to make notes on storylines etc. Then it was time for break, so me and heather hung out together and she is so awesome. We swapped myspace addys and now we are becoming really good mates! Like shes sooooo cool :).
Then at 4pm it was hometime, and caught the AT brown bus back from New College.
The day had gone rather well and I met lots of lovely people.
Tuesday 9th September
So on Tuesday, I got into Spanish and I was like 10 mins early so Maggie my teacher made me sort out some PC problem for her (which is like soooo easy) . Then everyone else came in and I felt at home straight away. They are all there because they love spanish like me! Cause at BBS the majority just wanted to get their C and get the hell outta there. But not me, I wanted to get my A*. (and I did). So after some icebreakers, and lots of talking in spanish. Then Maggie mentioned a trip to Barcelona in March and im just sitting there like... WOW. COOL!
We did some work and by the time we had finished all of that it was time for tourism.
I got to tourism and it was like packed, loads of people had joined the class....and they were mostly 2nd years retaking it. I was sat on my own between two 2nd years and they were discussing how many E's they had in their GCSE's..*sigh*
So we all sat down at the PC's and got to work on our maps. Everyone was asking me questions and I was in utter shock when this girl asked me if Dunkerque was a country : . Dumbo.
After the girls trying to copy my work , I finished most of the work and at 1pm went home. Got the 55 then 481 which took like a whole hour, and got home at 2:30! YAY! :)
Wednesday 10th September
The day when I was half deaf. Seriously. I woke up and couldnt hear anything out of my right ear. When I got to college, I could hardly hear anything aah it was horrible. I got to college at like 11:20 as I had no morning lesson. I went straight to tutorial and saw everyone, and we got our ID Cards...my photo is awful. Then we got given this huge folder thing with tons of sheets in I will never read. Oh well.
After lunch and having the best tuna baguette in the world from greggs. Me and Alex P went back and I went straight to English. And wow, is my english class hilarious. The teacher is lovely, and my class is small but they are all really nice and on my level of intelligence thank god. We all had a right laugh and at about 40 mins into the lesson my hearing came back and I was like YES!. After the break we all did speed dating and me and Joe had a good laugh =P He's so awesome!. The course sounds well good, like travel writing and things. And guess where we get to go in November? London! To see 2 west end shows including Wicked! and the war museum, shopping and camden market. Plus 1 night in a B+B. Wooo Cant wait. English Rocks :)
Thursday 11th September
Today. Ok so I wasnt half deaf today wooo :). Got up early again, and felt awfully sick. Got on the bus and it was packed. Then got into media and we have this awesome teacher called Graeame. He really makes you learn, and is so enthusiastic. We looked at how photos give us certain connotations, and next lesson we get to do photography wooo!!
Spanish was ok, and tourism ...well I finished all my work 15 mins early so I was outta there. I dunno whether to stick with it or not...
Im getting bored of doing this blog, but yeh I came home at like 5 so wasnt too happy, and Ive been watching the silent force tour dvd to cheer me up :) Ahhh <3
TOMORROW IS MY FREE DAY ! YES!!!!!!!!
Adios xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Telford, Rain & The Big Brother Finale!
My legs ache...I dont know why they just really do!! (Probably because of all that walking around today in Telford) hehe =P.
Ok, So I got up at about 11ish and watched some random property programmes on BBC 1. I love property programmes, I'm a little obsessed with them. Always watching Homes under the Hammer or To buy or not to buy. I like them =] I also love watching a place in the sun, simply cause I want to live abroad and escape this rain-forsaken country once and for all.
Right anyway, I kinda digressed there....
After watching all those shows, I got a shower and waited for mum to come home from work. I was in the midst of making a tuna sandwich when I left the room for like, 2 seconds and returned to find Kerry on the worktop eating the bowl of tuna mayo for my sandwich. Great!!!..
After avoiding the tuna , I jumped in the car with Mum and we went to BHS. Mum swapped my jeans and I went to meet my friend Kirsty who I met at New College. She's so awesome and is the same height as me so I dont feel like a giant around her, like all my other friends who are smaller than me :). We went around various shops and I bought 4 pairs of socks from Primark, "Shopaholic ties the knot" (the next installment in the series) from Waterstones, some pens and food from poundland. Oh and a sneaky sausage roll from gregs ;).
I asked around in Game and Gamestation about how much my DS Lite and 2 games would be worth. They quoted me £80 for the whole lot. Dissappointing as the console itself (new) is £100 and the games cost £30 each. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just keep it, or maybe not.
After Kirsty and I went around literally every shop in Telford ...(Avoiding the monsoon outside like the plague) we went to meet her mum and they gave me a lift back to my house.
I came home and it was still chucking it down with rain...sucks..
I watched this really cool programme about british people emigrating to Australia. Lucky people, I wanna emigrate! I had my tea and then watched Neighbours on repeat.
After that my night of TV started. I watched this thing about making marriages last in today's world, then after that tuned into the night we had all been waiting for. Well especially me. The Big brother Final part 1..
So I watched the first installment, which was shocking. Then watched Ugly Betty which has come back on after a huuuuuuuuuge break. And its annoying me already.
Anyway..on to..the..
The Big Brother Final!
Davina looked beautiful. And I really wanted Rex or Mikey to win.
Well, Darnell finished 5th, Rex 4th , Sara 3rd, Mikey 2nd...and
and.
RACHEL. WON. OMG.
-_-
Seriously, I mean ...she was so boring....
Mikey should have won. Grr.
But after she came out of the famous big brother doors, and the fireworks went off ..and people started cheering for her instead of booing, I felt really pleased for her. Mainly because she was the least expected housemate to win, and she was also so happy and nice. Constantly singing "happy house" obviously got her to win.
So after the final, I watched Big Brother's Big mouth ... which was good..
All the housemates were on there.
Its weird cause Davina's like, "These people only a few months ago were complete strangers, now look at them, they are celebrities". Which is true, but only cause they auditioned for Big Brother and managed to get on. Lucky people. Oh and the magazine deals...especially Luke and Bex..See for yourselves..
Now Im here, typing away to you..whoever you are
Sorry I had to blog about all the tv I watched tonight, especially Big Brother. But I've watched it right from Day 1...so It was important to me =P
Going to Emma's house tomorrow night for pizza's and a movie. Hopefully work wont ring to make work tomorrow, Ive kinda avoided them at all costs . They said they would ring me back about the days I would be working and never did... Losers

Rachel has new hair
It's red!
I love it.
Today started out well. I was woken up by mum again at like, 11am and then I went and had a shower. Mum went to work and I made sure all the cats were fed and started to make my way up to the the hairdressers. It was pouring with rain so I was walking kinda fast.
Got the to the bottom of the road and saw my Dad's mate Mike. He didnt say anything about him going to the USA to meet his newborn son..who was born a month ago. He still hasnt seen him... -_-
Hiding under my umbrella , I walked down to the hairdressers and got there in time.
I sat for about 2 hours in the hairdressers having my hair done, a loooong time. Ive had reds, chocolates and caramels put in my hair and it looks lovely :) Really red and gorgeous. Love it <3.
After I got out of the hairdressers I walked back home and it was sunny!!! Typical..
Came back and everyone admired my new hair. Watched neighbours and had some tea. Then scoffed the remaning ben and jerry's ice cream lol..Im such a greedy pig =P
Then after tea I watched "Who do you think you are?"...a repeat one from last night, and it was really interesting. Afterwards I went and took Max a walk, and saw Linz & Soph for the first time in weeks :) They are going to start their colleges next week too. Shrewsbury and Stafford.
Came home, and watched big brother
And here I am, Really tired and feeling moody lol *Stay Away*
Meeting Kirsty tomorrow in Telford :) Should be fun
Not much else to report....

Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch
My finger :'(
Call an ambulance! Somebody! Ive damaged every last muscle, bone, nerve in my precious finger!
Ok..So that was a little dramatic.
But basically, I hit my finger off the shelf by accident. It really hurts =[
Just thought I'd share that with you...
I almost cried when I saw Rachel's reaction to Kathreya leaving on Big Brother... Very Sad.
Ooh Oohh... and guess what's back?
Desperate Housewives - YAY! &&&&& Ugly Betty!!! <3
Aahh...I love American Sitcoms

Rain Rain, Go Away!
Rain , Rain go away come again another day! Thats all its done today. Rain.
Today I was woke up at 11:30 by my mum shouting "Rachel, its time to get up!"..I grumpily made myself get out of bed and move my tired legs down the stairs. I'd gotten a letter through the post, and mum said it was from Mars company. (Sweet company)
I'd recieved the letter 'cause I complained about a really horrible pack of malteasers 3 weeks ago. The chocolate was dry and tasteless, and the whole thing was soft and disgusting.
They sent me a very kind apologetic letter, along with a £5 voucher to spend on as many sweets as I want :D (Well..totalling to £5) =P Ok, that didnt make sense.
So I was all happy with my letter and voucher, so headed upstairs for a shower..and sat on the computer for a while. Mum came back from work and then Donna came with Finlay for about an hour, and I held him...he's so cute and smiles at me loads =)
I finished off my curry and headed up to work to collect my payment from like, 2 weeks ago.
They were really moody with me, the big 2 bosses were there..and I asked them for my pay and he said "well..if its there" and Im thinking to myself..."Erm..Hello?..You OWE me money..Dont mess me around..AGAIN!". So keeping calm, the other boss says to me "well..I didnt think you worked here anymore...havent seen you for a while". And Im like "What so shes fired me? You havent seen me for a while cause youre never at work!"....Grrrr.
So after I collected my £36 squidsworth...I went back to mum, and explained what had gone on. She wasnt too happy, and went back in with me and moaned at my boss. Good old mum cause I wouldnt have been brave enough to do so...
Anyway, we left and that was the end of that. Mum and I headed back to Newport to meet David and Sam from School. Its so weird seeing everyone at school and Im not there with them! Weird. I booked myself in for my hair tomorrow. (Im having it cut and highlighted...Yay!) and mum did the same for her. I walked back home with David and went past the girls high. Saw my friends Kylie and Sophie who have just started Sixth Form there..they seem to be settling in well :). So we came home, watched some really funny tidal wave film on channel 5 and then went and played Guitar Hero 3. Had dinner, and helped clean up. Oh and had some chocolate fudge brownie ice cream..Cant forget that!.
And Here I am :)
Im going to take max out now, as its getting pitch black. Its only 10 past 8!!
Feels like winter already...and its the...3rd of September?
Ahh well....

Police, New College and Thunderstorms.
Hey guys
Well, today was a bit crazy!
After getting up at about 11:30 I grabbed a shower and got dressed, and had some pizza.
My New College interview was set for 2:40 , but I had to get there 20 minutes early.
So at about 2pm me and mum set off to New College.
All was well until mum pulled up to turn around to park at the college. A police car pulled up and we thought "Ok , he's probably asking us which way we are going" . But then, one of the policemen stepped outside and approached my mum.
Unfortunatley he announced that my mum had been driving her car , uninsured since June.. Not good. Shocked and slightly confused, I checked the time and realised I was 10 minutes late for my interview....I had to get out of the car and walk to New College before I missed my interview altogether.
After getting into college, I made my way to the signing in desk and then they photocopied and checked my GCSE results. A kind lady then directed me to the "English & MFL" table where I sat for about 3 mins...
Out of nowhere a friendly english tutor came up to me and said "Are you Rachel?" and I replied "I am indeed!" so off we went to the hall to have my interview.
After asking numerous questions about where I went on holiday, and my summer in general..we sorted out my timetable and Im lucky cause I have 2 mornings and 2 afternoons off :) Pretty good in my opinion.
So after that was all over, I went across to the waiting area and spotted one of my best friends Carl :) I havent seen him for ages and he's coming to new college to so Im really pleased :) After deciding that the tutor Carl had spoke to was gay (according to Carl) we made our way up to the media studies area to sign a sheet saying "we wont do anything naughty on the internet" or summat...and then we went into another room to have our photo's taken.
Carl kept moving the chair up and down, whilst people were trying to have their photo's taken! Me and Carl just couldnt keep a straight face =P
After having my photo taken, (which is awful) we had to do this silly assessment test on the computer. The questions were so easy..but I took longer than anyone else to finish lol xD
After hearing the thunder, and managing to avoid the rain..I said bye to Carl and went out to meet mum in the car park...
She told me that the police nearly took her licence off her! But they let her off...and now the car IS insured...she is fine...
But whattt a day...poor mum.
Nice Police guys.
We got home, and had some spaghetti bolegnaise...Donna came and collected Toska (the last kitten left from Kerry's litter) and he managed to escape the cat basket. So after 10 minutes of trying to catch him ...he made his way to his new home all soaked from sitting under the wet tree.. lol
Bless him.
After that I walked Max...and it was so cold! Its only the 2nd of September and It feels like winter already! Where did summer dissappear to? :(
As my fingers are hurting from typing too fast Im gonna end this blog :)
See..your happy now that Im blogging again..I can sense it.

Happy 1st of September :) and other random rambles.
Good Evening :)
Im here again! *gasp* Im actually blogging again!
(How long will this last?) :P
Happy 1st of September everyone :) The junior school went back to school today, and the BBS are going back tomorrow. But I have another week off yay :)
Today I managed to get up at 1pm! Sooo late! I felt so lazy. I then went downstairs and watched some tv and I think it was 2:20pm by the time I jumped in the shower! Then at about 2:45 I was in the car , driving into newport with mum.
It was chucking it down, and myself was feeling very tired and so was my Mum which is a bad combination! (We soon got on each others nerves!)
After parking the car we strolled around newport and then went to ASDA.
Then we had some fish and chips for tea - mmhmm.
Ive got toothache :( Stupid wisdom tooth! :(
Tomorrow is my New College interview to sort everything out. My bus pass came the other day, its all new and shiny. Ive never had a bus pass before hehe ^_^ ooh the novelty.
After the interview has finished Ive gotta go into work and get my money, or ring them. Tbh Im not gonna be working as much as usual as Im starting college...so probably will be working Saturdays..or not at all until the christmas period :( No money :(
Im really really looking forward to college though. I mean its like a brand new start, and most of my friends are going so I will still get to see them, and I cant wait to make new friends too!
Ive decided to study Spanish (which I got an A* in at GCSE), Media, English Language and Travel and Tourism. ^_^ So I have quite a range of subjects. Exciting :)
But yeh, definetley looking forward to it =].
Saw Jamesy yesterday and we went on his nintendo wii :) played smash bro's and mario kart hehe :) was good to see him. I might be selling my ds lite to him *nooo* you nintendo lovers may cry...but I dont use it! Plus I need the money!.....
Im reading this really good book at the moment..its called "Shopaholic abroad" and its dead good =P I got it whilst I was in York - from my fave book shop Borders...:)
What else to tell? Not much except that Im looking forward to college .. and that the new WT dvd is coming out in 21 days! Woop :) Black Symphony <3.
Ooh Uhmmm *thinks*
Here's a picture :)
Yes its Me and Nicky's friends in Rowntrees Park in York. I said to them "Ok Guys, Ive got a good idea! All of you stand behind me , but dont let the camera see your heads, then outstretch your arms to make me look like an octopus...or some indian god.." lol xD
You get the idea..
Oh speaking of Nicky, she will be very pleased that ive updated this again...
(Nicky blogs everyday religiously)
What else to say??? *thinks again*...

Im really really looking forward to college though. I mean its like a brand new start, and most of my friends are going so I will still get to see them, and I cant wait to make new friends too!
Ive decided to study Spanish (which I got an A* in at GCSE), Media, English Language and Travel and Tourism. ^_^ So I have quite a range of subjects. Exciting :)
But yeh, definetley looking forward to it =].
Saw Jamesy yesterday and we went on his nintendo wii :) played smash bro's and mario kart hehe :) was good to see him. I might be selling my ds lite to him *nooo* you nintendo lovers may cry...but I dont use it! Plus I need the money!.....
Im reading this really good book at the moment..its called "Shopaholic abroad" and its dead good =P I got it whilst I was in York - from my fave book shop Borders...:)
What else to tell? Not much except that Im looking forward to college .. and that the new WT dvd is coming out in 21 days! Woop :) Black Symphony <3.
Ooh Uhmmm *thinks*
Here's a picture :)
Yes its Me and Nicky's friends in Rowntrees Park in York. I said to them "Ok Guys, Ive got a good idea! All of you stand behind me , but dont let the camera see your heads, then outstretch your arms to make me look like an octopus...or some indian god.." lol xD
You get the idea..
Oh speaking of Nicky, she will be very pleased that ive updated this again...
(Nicky blogs everyday religiously)
What else to say??? *thinks again*...
Ohh another picture :) It always gives reason to write something =) Ya know.
Its a WT Montage that I made :3 Sharon is beautiful :)
Anyway, the blog has put huge spaces between my text...so will go and correct that before I post :) Wow , I am being chatty today!.
*Deletes spaces*
*Finishes deleting spaces*
*Sings Amaranth*
*Returns to blogging*
Well..End of blogging.. haha
Signing off until another day..week..month..year?
Ciao ;)

Summer, Results, Yorkshire and everything else
Hello :D
<>
<>"Ive lost the zest for life.... give me more lemons!"
Woah
Here I am, sitting at this uber cool sexy black laptop (woah too many adjectives there) .. at 2am in the morning on Nicky's comfy sofa in York.
"Rach where have you been?" you may cry..
Well to tell you the truth, I havent been anywhere!
What I can say is that Ive been too lazy to update this thing! I know terrible huh?
But Nicky started me off again, it took 2 months and now here I am, typing away..
Ok, so just to give you some bullet points about whats been happening recently
(as bullet points are SO much easier to write!)
July/August 2008
- School is officially over, Ive left, Hay terminado..and all that jazz.
- My cat kerry had 5 gorgeous kittens, 4 ginger toms and 1 mixed girl..It was truly an amazing experience and they were born between 10:30pm - 12am on Thursday 19th June.. I watched everyone being born :). We are keeping 2 of them called Billy and Smudge :) The rest have gone/are going to their new homes
- GCSE Results came and went .. 21st August... I got 1 A* in Spanish, 2 A's in French and History, 4 B's in DT, English Lit, English Lang RE, C's in Maths, Science and Drama (wow) I cant believe I passed maths and got A's in my languages woop!
- I got a job, back in July, I work at Jungleland and Its an OK job...I work on the kids attractions and do the washing up/take food out. I wear a green polo shirt with the jungleland logo and khaki trousers (so cool) :P
- I went to the lake district for a week at the end of July, It was so cool. I love it there, the scenery is fantastic and I went paddling in the lakes...the accomodation was awesome and I went swimming for the first time in a whole year! woo! :) I also visited Keswick and went to the cars of the stars museum, and saw my beloved Back to the Future delorean again *ahhh* <3
- Unfortunatley some bad news now. My cat coco had to be put down due to cancer :( Im very upset... but she was in a lot of pain :( R.I.P
- Im at Nicky's house, my amazing little sis. Have been since the 25th and ive had a great time :) We have been shopping in York, in the minster, meeting up with her friends in rowntree's park (which was awesome). Exploring the Yorkshire Dales and Moors...(pics below) walking around whitby, eating haribo's in the car lol and staying up very late :P Im going home tomorrow :( and I will miss Nicky very much, its been great.
- What else to tell? Ooh yes, Im starting New college on the 8th september :) New start, New friends and New subjects :) cant wait :D

20th June 2008
My end of year prom - Buckatree Hall Hotel , Wellington
Left for 2:30 for my make up in muxton, was dead impressed with it...=]
Donna had payed for it cause Im always called out to babysit at silly times of the night and things so she thought I deserved it ^^
Then went straight for my hair at 4pm, Although was slightly annoyed that I didnt actually get in there till 4:20 and came out at 5:30 having to be at Gemma's for 6. Was not impressed -_-
Got to gemma's and saw everyone and the limo waiting outside...man that limo was sexay.
We all had pics taken and climbed in the gorgeous limo, and drank shloer lol xD
I managed to fall over and nearly spill drink all over Salome lol woops ^_^
We arrived to find most of our year standing outside watching us, and I had to *gracefully* get out of the limo lol
We went to talk to people and stuff, *can you tell I hate writing blogs!!!!*
We danced, we ate, we took photos
My dress was loved ^_^ and my hair ^_^
I lead everyone in the dancing, and did the macarena, saturday night and the cha cha slide :D
Thennnnnnn my feet hurt :'( ....and round about half 11 we got the limo back to Newport...but first we went to see if mcdonalds was open but it wasnt lol :( so we went into town and bought chips and stayed at gemma's till 1am lol
And I slept in until 2pm the next day!!
Overall it was an amazing night, but the dancefloor was way too small and the food was manky
Ive just come back from Alton Towers and im shattered
PEace out xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

El examen de Espanol.
Today was the day of my GCSE Spanish Oral...
IT WENT GREAT!!!!
And I got an A :)
IT WENT GREAT!!!!
And I got an A :)
Exams...Exams....Exams!!
Most of this week has been exams..
The Drama Exam - 23rd April
On Wednesday I had my long awaited Drama performance.
Basically we all sat in the create studio and watched each others plays.
Pretty nerve wracking as you just want to get it over and done with..
Anyway, the examiner was really nice and friendly which was good!
So the time came for us to get fired up and ready for our performance.
At that time we were on at 12pm. So we got all emotionally ready and relaxed and practiced the final time.
Our drama teacher Mr Williams came in and said "Your not performing yet" so we just like ARGH!!! and had to wait another hour to get on the stage...
Anyway, we set up during lunch and I managed to eat something...
Everything was in place and the rest of the candidates took their places in the audience and the examiner sat down .
She called us to her desk and we all had to say what we were wearing and how we had our hair and things... and she sent us off to perform..
We took our places and performed, the best we ever had..
Hardly any mistakes and we even got a few laughs! Apparently I was very convincing as a policewoman and everyone could hear me clearly!!
So i was so pleased about that! And had a great afternoon watching the other groups plays...
At the end of the day, we were so tired but had good spirits. Miss Lewis the old drama teacher had come back to record our plays, and she started doing this cool trick with a broom.
Basically she can put her body around a broom really quickly hehe and everyone was standing in a circle, laughing and cheering people on who were having a go.
Mr Williams said thanks to everyone, and specially mentioned our Twilight group ! :)
One day I will never forget!!....

Sometimes I cant do it anymore
Im soo tired today....too many late nights I think..
Im in a depressed mood...and realise I let everyone down which upsets me.
Im not good at most things, and Im too nice to say no....Im too kind obviously... :/
Im also considerably lonely....I miss it..the whole picture. Someone to hold and cuddle when Im feeling down at times like these.. depresses me tbh...
I just have to stop lying to myself, thinking I can do things but at the last minute I just chicken out. And I thought I was confident! :(
Obviously Im not... not at all...
I know what I am though right now, stressed.
Mainly because I have 3 GCSE exams coming up within the next few weeks..
- 23rd April - My Drama Perfomance.... Which Im really worried about, because people couldnt be bothered about it.
- 25th April - My Spanish GCSE speaking...oh dear me...I am worried about that...
- 6th May - French GCSE speaking....better get some revision done :/
Thats what I hate about this ...its all stress.
I think exams should be banned....and I think me and exams dont get on with each other as It makes me worry to high heaven and makes me all irritable and stressed. I dont wanna be like that...
Anything else to moan about??
No...and tbh I think I'll go and make myself a cup of hot chocolate and go to bed ...
Trouble is I wont sleep tonight....
aaaaaah..... i worry too much.

Florida Thoughts
Florida ThoughtsBlogging again... Only done 2 days of school this week, out of 4. Not feeling so good, and my mum has the flu...so I'm kinda looking after her too.. Been reading up about a summer Work Experience in Walt Disney World, Florida. I can go when Im 18, stay for 6 months on a Visa and get discounts on things like merchandise, tickets and hotels...Which is pretty good. If I go for it, I do have to pay for my visa, my accommodation, various taxes and flights... But I'll probably have a job by then, and I pay in dollars...so its cheaper.. The rules are kind of strict... hair tied back, neutral make up, smart uniform and a smile to be worn most of the day.... But i could handle that. I'd also have to stay in an apartment with someone else, but also I dont really mind... Its something Im considering, the rate of pay isnt that great...but the rewards are good... Anyway if I do take the chance, its not for another 2 years! So basically, thats whats on my mind today!.... Still feeling really rough though....:( Its the weekend so I can sleep in, thank the lord!! Anyway, Better go and take my poor little dog out for a walk... Rachel
Next easter we are hopefully staying here...in this villa. YAY!
Its in Indian ridge oaks in kissimmee in Orlando :) With its own heated pool (above)

Rachel's philosophical moment.
In a room....just sitting here...my eyes are going to automatically close due to tiredness..
I feel....descriptive.
Maybe I'll write a story.
Maybe Not..Maybe I'll just type what ever is coming into my head at this very moment.
The thing is, Im always always wondering, literally about everything.
The old fashioned, original questions like "Why are we here?" and "What is the meaning of life?".
But I'll never know, no-one will. Those questions are supposed to be answered only by God in my opinion...not by humans...
Wow. Im thinking heavy today.
The fact is, I needed something to blog about. I could tell you what Ive done so far today, but to be honest that isnt a lot so I didnt think I would bother..
Isnt it weird what some people will write on a blogging site on the internet, whilst sitting in a comfy study/bedroom sipping tea..
They probably will tell you how their day has been, or how their feelings are for some person in their life. Maybe , maybe not.
Or , they might say how they are truly feeling deep down, like how they are devestated about the death of a neighbours cat. I dont know.
What I write about on my blog seems always to be about my day, like I never write random blogs like this one.
I admit, this blog is really weird...I dont know why Im writing it!
Hm, I AM thinking heavy today...
I just looked at my friends blog, I think she started off a chain reaction or something..
Q. Why do all good things come to an end?
A . Because every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
This is quite true.
I hate it when things come to an end, like the Nightwish Concert, the Within Temptation concert, and amazing holidays.. but if they didnt end we would never appreciate the memorys afterwards. If they were on going we would never experience other great things...I dont know.
I think my brain is frazzled, it needs food.
Thats why I must leave this blogging place for something to eat...
Rachel..
PS. I know this was a really really strange blog, you (whoever you are) are probably thinking that im a nutcase that has nothing better to do than share her random thinking moments with the rest of the world.
And maybe, just maybe you are right.

Nightwish Live
Be still my son..your home
Well, its over...and by gum was it amazing!
Saturday 29th March 2008
Having already travelled all the way up to manchester to pick up little sis Nicky, we picked up Charley around 4:30pm and made our way to Birmingham.
Unfortunatley the weather wasnt very great as it was chucking it down with rain.. but that did not dampen our spirits for the night ahead!
After managing to get lost in the center of Birmingham and briefly seeing the obsure structure of the Bullring we managed to find the windy street that lead to the sight of hundreds of black hooded people lining outside the Carling Academy.
The Bullring
"CRAP" I thought....we'll never get to the barrier! :(
Anyway...Charley, Nicky and I ran to the end of the ever growing queue and stood behind some other Within Temptation/Nightwish lovers.
It was so cold, but we knew we would be inside the academy sooner or later!
The queue started to move at about 5:40 and once we were in there everyone seemed to be on the balcony!
I asked a strange guy with a mohican how to get "downstairs" and we ran to the ..well...nearly empty stage.
WOAH! We were like, 2 rows from the barrier, you could see it! AND We had a perfect view of Tuomas's keyboards.
After I had grabbed my enormous beaker of water, the lights dimmed and the crowd got excited.
PAIN played some very rocky songs, I managed to get loads of good pics :D And everyone including me was headbanging away to "Nailed to the ground" =P It was ace.
PAIN came and went, and we were all warmed up for the amazing Nightwish. Nicky's nerves were going crazy and some screams came when Marco (or someone) walked across the back of the stage, it was getting so close..
After a half an hour wait, the lights dimmed again and the intro started.
Purple light shone on the "nightwish" logo...
Nightwish came onto the stage, and their presence felt amazing! Anette wore a black kaftan-type thingy and Tuomas wore his top hat =P
Marco, Emppu and Jukka took their places to begin "Bye Bye Beautiful"
After an amazing start, Nightwish continued to impress me!
Songs like "The siren" , "Whoever brings the night" , "Wishmaster" and "Nemo" just blew me away!..
Nightwish's special Guest Troy Donockley played along with "last of the wilds" and "the islander" ...it was amazing!!
The Poet and the Pendulum live was mind blowing....!
And then marco said "now its time we played you a slow song..."
Slaying the dreamer!!
haha.
Anette really did lead the crowd, being quite flirty with Tuomas and winking as she was saying "The last song...;) " haha... great...
I was lucky enough to have a perfect view throughout the whole show..Ive never been that close at a gig before!
After the finale of "Wish I had an angel" and soon after the band had taken a group bow....my heart sank as I knew the night was over...
What an amazing night...I'll never forget it!
Well, its over...and by gum was it amazing!

Anyway, Back to 2008.
Its 3 months until I leave school forever. And not long until my real GCSE's.
The teachers have set me all this revision to do...and my Spanish teacher has given me a cd to listen to of her speaking in Spanish and French!!

Nicky is coming down for Nightwish, then she's staying on for a few days. We haven't seen each other since November.. and that was when we went to Holland for Within Temptation!! =P
