Oh my Gosh, I haven't been this excited since Lauren screeched "WE ARE GOING TO MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE MOFO!" or ... Actually no. The time when Noel and I did a kilt-check for Prom and his family kilt (Gunn "Either War or Peace) is green and blue - my Prom dress colour options. He suggested if that didn't work he'd wear my tartan (Buchanan "Hence The Brighter Honour) although, I must say, I do love the Moffat clan motto "I Hope For Better Things."

I went to Moffat on holiday this year - loved it. We wanted to go to Loch Lomond but Dad decided he was "too tired". Mehh, never mind.

Last night I broke my toe. I decided the time had come for Noel to show off his dancing skills and ended up breaking my toe when we crossed legs and my leg was going really fast (like Tango Argentino fast) and then BOOM my toe hit the fireplace and I crumpled in a heap. Its my fourth toe of my left foot, and its blue, and black, red and purple. Its stuck on top of my third toe of my left foot, so I can't flex my toes as I would do normally - like the early morning "Ahhhnnnnd WAKE UP!" routine of sticking light on, scowling, and then grumpily getting into the shower, cursing.

I, of course, forgot I had broken my toe and...first thing to say in the morning? "OH MY GODDDD OWWWWWWWWWWW!" and Mum dashes in, sees toe and goes "Yup, thats broken alright Libbie"
Oh yes, why thats just great.
Seeing as I have been FORCED to not do PE for two weeks following stomach ache and the signature of my Dads girlfriend is very similar to my handwriting (both are lefties and hold pen the same so y's a very curly-pointed and so are I's and L's and R's and M's) So they all think I'm a skiver ... ah well, to be honest I don't mind. Yupp...

Also, am going to Chester Zoo with Noel on Saturday, which will be good. I am SICK of just going around town or to the cinema - its like routine? Like everybody our age, well, 14 - 17 just hangs around town or the cinema so Noel decided we'd be different and go to the Zoo. So that'll be fun.

BEST OF ALL

I AM GOING TO SEE THE MIGHTY BOOSH LIVE ON 5TH DECEMBER 2008 AT MANCHESTER M.E.N. ARENA!!! Noel's threatened to dress up as Old Gregg ... which is ... INTERESTING ... to say the least.

Rome is going to be awesome. Except my friends stupid arse of a boyfriend is going who actually makes me feel phyiscally ill, I know hate is a strong word but he makes me cringe and feel so ... exposed when he's around. Noel hates him. This friends boyfriend once got told something he shouldn't have been about me and within hours the whole school knew, first time I've ever cried in school. First time anyone has ever seen me cry in school.

When Noel heard, he went ape. Being twice as tall as this lad and having twice the guts (not physically, Noel's very slim and this lad is rather ermm rounded but I mean as in ... like "he's got balls" type guts) and what did this guy do? Run and hide. Creep. Noel found him, and made him apologise to me. My friend, obviously, took her boyfriend's side, claiming he "accidentally" told people things when I know, as soon as I walked into that classroom he came behind me and shouted it out so even the tutor heard. Completely pathetic, he really is.

Anyway, Rome is going to be great. I've always wanted to just go somewhere and really absorb the atmosphere and explore the history and culture ... sounds amazing. Its basically the kind of thing I've wanted to do for a long time and now is the perfect time to do it ... I have a real urge just to get out there and see whats in this amazing world. I've never been to Rome. I've been to Italy a few times, but around places like Siena, Florence and San Gimingano (I can't spell it - but it is really the most beautiful place.)

So ... yes, that is all that is new in the world of Facade.
