With a vengence

Well not exactly, but I did want to make an impression.

My life has been whizzing past me in a strange, surreal blur and I just gripped tighter when I got my exam timetable last week. I have my RS exam tomorrow and I am looking forward to it in a weird way, I always seem to understand it and get pretty good grades because of it.

So what else is new?

As of today my best friend stood up to the girl who was bullying her and loads have people have congratulated her because of it. Although personally I don't think an immature 16 year old has a right to criticize my friends treatment of her boyfriend - who is moving to Shanghai next month - "Sickening" when she is the one sleeping with a 27 year old Father of one. Its not my business, I know, and not my place, I know, to comment but I have known my best friend since we played together in the play dough corner at Sunday School, she's like my sister.

Prom was last week, very good. Of course all the girls looked simply stunning in their dresses and the boys ... quite suave in in their suits but embarrassingly bad dancers on the dance floor! For once, I was moderately satisfied with my appearance and of course my partner (in crime) looked amazing. I was really proud of him that night, made me feel like a Princess.

Also, I seem to have lost a lot of weight accidentally and am back into size 12s, ladies will know exactly HOW that feels to the recently turned 16 to be able to slip into something a little bit clinger and feel more confident than I did last year with my hips and bum growing so fast I barely had time to keep up.

Got our Yearbooks today, my eyes will well up so much on Thursday afternoon it might be kinder to freeze up my tearducts for a few days. Still, the summer is gambolling towards us like a newborn lamb (I like that actually...) and with it, the future heralds us at the autumnal meadow into the crops of further studying. I can't wait, to be frank, everyone has gotten so trivial, superficial and bitchy these past few weeks and I will be glad when everybody leaves and the arguments stop, I wish people could just, for the want of 48 hours, leave their differences behind them to ENJOY the last two days we will EVER spend together as The Class of 2008.

We're all ready for a change and I really can't wait for everyone to further themselves as individuals than hanging around in pathetic little cliques, I guess thats probably why I just sit with Al and a good notebook at lunch, occasionally saying "Hi" to a few friends and basically staying the hell out of it all.

I am feeling the need to write a descriptive passage about vampires. Probably as in my languages oral exams (French went OK, my accent and over enthusiasm helped and German .. well....) I forgot what to say and said (I really am too tired to translate this into German but I THINK what I said was) "Sometimes at the weekend I go to the cinema with my Dad, at my last birthday we went to go and see "300". It was quite good but a little bit too graphic for me, however my Dad loved it because he likes bloody and violent movies." Pause whilst Frau Webster looked at me quizically, then I said this. "... he likes bloody movies because he thinks he is a vampire"
"Ah, das ist... sehr interessant. End of test."

Anyway, my wrist hurts.
If anyone wants to get involved in the vampire novel please just tell me
You will have a friend/fiend for life
