And I'm off school at the moment because I know that there's absolutely no way I could manage to learn feeling like this. Allow me to explain: it started last Friday with a cold that came on very quickly, followed by a cough. This became very bad over the weekend but I pushed on and tried to just deal with it. It was still horrible on Monday but I came into school because it was photo day and otherwise I might have had a blank spot in the year book (though my picture will probably have red eyes and nostrils). Going to school did help me feel a bit better, but the whole week it's been hard to concentrate because if it's not incessant coughing, sneezing or nose-running, it's the throbbing head and strange, ineffable aches.
I'm good at hiding my feelings, physical or emotional, hence the fact that when I was run over in the road by a bicycle I just got up and limped on, trying not to complain to anyone. But I knew today that if I went to school I wouldn't be able to learn very well at all, so it's better just to recover and catch up. It's only one day, anyway. My cold and cough have mostly gone away, but this has left the other symptoms worse. My body feels kind of empty which makes it hard to do things, so at the moment I'm resigned to the sofa or my bed.
I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about eating. I'm kind of hungry and there's something nice in the fridge but often when I'm ill it's completely different when the food's presented to me. It's incredibly odd for me to have lost my appetite so it's a sign that I'm really rather ill. Normally by now on a school day I would have at least had a chocolate bar as my mid-morning stack and would be waiting for lunch.
This is unrelated but weird. Before today I had no idea what The Lovely Bones was about. At all. Yesterday, I helped devise and performed in a drama piece that has exactly the same plot as The Lovely Bones. I want to read it now. I also have The Sisterhood, Hannibal, Glamour, Company and Love it! to read. That's arranged on the quality of reading material, I think.

My laptop's ailing...
The cable went wrong again so the battery is running out fast. Thus, I'm on my parents' five-year-old computer at the moment. Fortunately, it has a shiny new widescreen monitor.
Friday was a joyous day for me. I spent the whole summer holiday (seven and a half weeks) worrying about something to find that it turned out more than okay - it turned out absolutely amazing. This has spurred me on and I'm looking forward to next summer. I'll finally maybe have a bit of wreckless fun and be carefree again.
Over the summer I had to write a monolgue for Drama based on the stimulus 'Blood, Sweat, Tears and Tantrums'. Horribly cliche, I know, but I managed in the end. I wrote four monologues and was only happy with the last one, which I wrote today while listening to Regina Spektor. It's amazing that no matter what her songs are about, at least one of them always manages to inspire me.
In around 31 or so weeks I will be free from my secondary school. I really, really, really can't wait for that day. Sixth form college and university will ensue. And so will happiness (hopefully).
Hmm, I'll make no apologies for this post even though I think it's slightly boring. It's a Sunday - what can I say?

Oh, hello again
I heard that the more a blogger blogs, the higher the blog will appear on a Google search. Well, perhaps if someone searches for 'green nails pink hands' and I blog as much as possible, it might get noticed. But I actually don't really mind. If I wrote this blog for others, I'd have given up by now. Oh, right, about that, I'm stopping...
KIDDING!
No, I'm not, but I do have better things to do such as *ahem* Sims 3. Oh, and I do go out and do productive things sometimes, too.
I've pretty much hated most of today. My parents moved everything in my room to clean it, but I don't really like other people messing with my things so much. It makes me look forward to having my own house all the more.
WOW I have 61 page views and only about 7 of those were from me. So, wow. Someone's looking. Wow.
Guess what I relish? The fact that I have less than a year left at my somewhat crappy, quite chavvy school.
Also very wow, the fact that if one types 'green nails pink hands', my blog is the fourth result :D
I've been to London three times this holiday, but I would never get bored of it. I'm going somewhere in the south of this country fairly soon. Hmm, countryside. I try to avoid countryside.

More love for ukuleles <3
http://www.youtube.com/user/chipswow?blend=1&ob=4
Chipswow. She covers songs on the ukulele and has a few original songs of her own too. I love her voice and she's made songs that I used to dislike sound amazing.
I think Regina Spektor and Lily Allen songs sound lovely on ukuleles :)
I also really want to learn to play the ukulele now.

writing in lower case makes everything look cuter
one thing's turned out alright. not everything, though.
it's been nice to not do anything today.
i can't keep this absence of capital letters up. it's unnatural for me. it works for others, but not for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's better :)

I like these quiz things
How do you dot your i's?
Guess what? I dot them with dots.
Do you get the trick in the song If You Seek Amy by Britney Spears?
Yes. It does add more sense to the song, but makes it seem even more stupid. And also it makes Britney seem more of a slut.
Who was the last person you sat with at a resturaunt?
My mother and father.
What were you doing at midnight last night?
Reading More magazine *embarrassment* Only because it was free with Heat!
What happened at 10:00 AM?
I watched Hannah Montana *more embarrassment* I believe.
Last time you saw your blood dad?
The other day. I only have one father.
Say your last ex runs up to you and hugs you, what do you do?
And what makes you think I've ever had a relationship? Oh, unless you're jumping on the Sam's-going-to-marry-Abby bandwagon.
Biggest annoyance in your life right now?
The fact that I feel so trapped by a few such small things and almost every area of my life would be better if I could sort those things out.
Have you ever taken someone back after they hurt you?
Yes, quite a lot, actually.
Are you happy with your life at the moment?
About 40%.
Are you jealous of your siblings?
I don't have any :)
Have you kissed anyone this past week?
No... Well, on the cheek but that was a family friend so it doesn't count.
Who was the first person you talked to today?
My mother.
Is your hair longer than your shoulders?
Yes, much, much, longer.
Will you be in bed within twenty minutes?
No, but if this was a school night I'd have to be getting ready for bed in twenty minutes (and the timing on this blog is weird so it's actually 21:42 now)
Do you crack your knuckles?
Not really, but my knee cracked the other day.
How much money did you spend today?
None. I probably would have spent some if my plans hadn't gone to poo.
What will you be doing tomorrow?
Hopefully, Simming and thinking.
Did you ever waste too much time on a certain boy or girl?
As a friend, maybe.
What is the first thing you did this morning?
How's today going to go?
Do you miss someone?
Yes, very, very, very much. I miss her more than London so you can probably tell how much.
Do you sometimes watch the news?
Occasionally. Mainly to soak up the Swine Flu panic.
Are you currently feeling the need to tell someone something?
Yes, I actually think I need to tell someone that I love them. And I need to tell a few things to another person.
What color was the last pill you took?
I can't swallow pills. Well, I never learned.
Do you like hugs?
I love them :) I'd never refuse one unless the person smelt bad, had something sticky on them or was disliked by me.
Are you a loud person?
From time to time.
Are you cold, warm or just right at the moment?
Slightly warm, but comfortable.
Are you mad/frustrated at anyone right now?
Not exactly.
Why did you last cry?
I can't really explain it.
Do you get distracted easily?
No. I have a very long attention span.
Have you ever broken someone's heart?
I highly doubt it.
If you can't sleep at night, what thought is keeping you awake?
Probably half the events of the day and half my inner turmoil.
Is there something you wanna let go of?
Er, can I let go of the 'na' in 'wanna' and replace it with 't', please?
Your current relationship status?
Single. That's always the way it's been.
How many cats do you have?
2 :) I love them and all cats.
Are you thinking of someone right now?
Yes, I think I always am.
Are you currently frustrated with a boy or girl?
Slightly.
Do long distance relationships work?
They probably can.
Are you slowly drifting away from someone close?
Yes, and I know that will only carry on.
Do you prefer warm or cold weather?
As long as there's rain I don't mind :)

Crumbs
Today went terribly. I was supposed to meet two friends at 1.15 in town at a specific place for a carnival thing. I arrived at 1.35 because the bus was diverted and I then spent 45 minutes looking for them around town. In the end my mum made me come home and I missed the whole thing. I just hope my friends aren't annoyed.
