Super belated post is super belated.

Morning all. Or, evening, rather.

I'm in a not good mood. Simply because my mum's taking over the front room a bit; and it's driving me slightly insane. So I explain that I don't want her to record that much on the planner in the front room, because I like it tidy, and she's now mad with me.
Not cool.
Not cool at all.

Cornwall tomorrow. Ah, the joy.
I dislike it. A lot- I don't want to go. Not only do I miss four parties, (Yes, four!) but I also miss bowling, free stuff and seeing the lion king in 3D.
At least i'm back for Halloween.

I have a lot of work to do over the holidays, so i'm not looking forward to that either.

Oh yeah, and I've found out that another one of my friends likes me as more than a friend.
Party on.

Splash; there's all the bad stuff!

I must remember to pack Risk before I go away! And some playing cards. In fact, i'm going to make a list of all the things I have to remember..:

Things to do before I depart towards my almost imminent misery:

1. Clothes. This includes some jeans, shirts and sweatshirts; because it's the English coast. Not Orlando.
2. Risk. Playing cards.
3. Work stuff! I don't want U's!
4. Charge phone, DS, camera, iPod & computer. I love technology, and i'm not going a week without it!
5. Wash bag. Hygiene is important!

So I've also just checked the weather. Rain. Lots of it. Taking a couple of coats and a mini umbrella now.

Positive section of this blog post begins HERE.

I renewed my XBOX live!

...and I just realised how screwed up my priorities are. OHWELLXBOXISGREAT!

Everyday i'm talking more and more to the guy I like. Yesterday we swapped phone numbers - now he's texting me. SCORE!

It is half term! Even though I have to spend a lot of it working, and all of it in Cornwall, it's still a holiday! Sort of...

Speaking of Cornwall, the router's just been packed up. Ah. That means this post probably will end up being posted in the land of corn. Ironic isn't it? I hate Corn too.

*

 

As I thought, here we are in Cornwall, and I haven't posted this yet.

Things are looking cool! The sea's pretty choppy at the moment, but that's cool- I've just had a scone and i'm connected to the internet. As far as things go, that's good! 

I'm bored, but at least I have the computer. And a shower. None of this camping nonsense.

Going to buy a few things tomorrow for people back home - probably scarves, bracelets and rock. Rock as in the candy. I don't really like it, but the sell some with rude messages in that makes me laugh a ton.

Right, i'm going to actually post this now! Maybe i'll keep a log of my cornish adventures... Then again, maybe not!

Procrastinparty

It's just occurred to me that I seem to have picked up a habit of procrastinating things, by doing other things that I've procrastinated by doing other things.

I should be writing the English work, so I do the Chemistry.

I should be doing the Chemistry work, so I write the blog.

I should be writing the blog, so I look at the book of the face.

And that's too damn easy to procrastinate.

So you see, I've figured out that the true problem is simply that i'm lazier than words can describe.

Which isn't a great thing to figure out when you've just started your a-levels.

On the plus side, I have a free period first thing tomorrow morning, so I can crack down and do some work then! However, I also have a free period session four, which means that I COULD go home, if it wasn't for stinky tutor group being in the afternoon.

:insertprofanityhere:

Why does tutor group exist? It seems, that in upper 6th, it just exists to make you feel bad about not doing eight hours of study per day. It seems like, seriously, that is what it is. Nothing important happens, so everyone just sits there for 45 minutes, asking Mr Hutchings to let us go home.

Though we know he wont let us.

OH YEAH.

My Chemistry teacher, Mr Smith, did something COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS the other day. Seriously, I think they should make it illegal or something.

He wrote the wrong kind of 'their, there, they're' ON THE BOARD.

I can see you're screaming.

Like Chemistry isn't hard enough already with these atomic orbitals and stuff. I mean, I kind of get them? But if the orbitals are in subshells, and the (for example) P orbital is in a dumbbell shape with the nucleus in the centre, how are the electrons from further out shells also going to take the form of a P orbital without intercepting with the already there shell?

(I explained that totally crappily, and you probably don't understand a word of it, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND ;A;)

It feels bad to be behind already.

Feels bad man.

LIKEWISE; My Xbox live expired the other day.

Cry

More

Plz.

And I'm broke.

It's a party of bad vibitude!

On the plus side, I've done my ironing and washing today! Which means FREE TIME for me!

Sadly, it's already ten to six.

/Le sigh

My sister just came back from Paris! Had the nerve not to buy me any souvenirs:-( But I guess I never expected otherwise! Truth be told, I'm glad she had a good time! It sucked to be at home though, with my dad stressing me to 'feed the cats' and scowling at me for making lighthearted comments to my brother across the dinner table.

I mean seriously, I can't remember what it was, but that comment was VERY lighthearted, compared to how some of his friends say that they are going to 'batter me up' because of how I kick my brother off the Xbox sometimes.

'Batter me up'.

I'd like to see them try.

Beat my brother in an arm wrestle yesterday. Yes, he may be about a centimeter taller than me now, but i'm still godly in the muscle department.

LIKE A BOSS.

Anyway, i'm really getting annoyed with the controllingness of my dad at the moment. Not that it's legal for me to bet, get a full time job, get married, join the army or 'have le sexy times' in England or anything. 

Nope.

Not at all.

Sorry for the pessimistic ranty post, I'll try and make the next one more positive and cheery!

Have a nice afternoon / day / morning / evening!:-D

Upper 6th

I started sixth form last Tuesday.

It's nice! I'm already super overtired - but I really really like it. I like only taking classes that I like, with (generally) people that I like, and things are going well for me.

Today, however, I feel kind of down.

This is because...

• I have realised the gravity of the work that i'm going to have to be putting in over the next year, and that kind of scares me.
• The lockers are poopy. Not a big deal, but a bummer nevertheless.
• I've fallen for a guy in the space of 2-3 days. What the actual fuck. I have no idea what to do about it either. Awesome.
• I'm being irritated by my dad generally, quite a bit.

So yeah, none of those things are great:L

It's taken me forever just to write that paragraph - that's how very very tired I am.

I just hate it when I don't know what other people are thinking; especially the new people at school. How are you supposed to know what they think of you? I'm just- I have no idea. It's so tricky to gauge people and i'm finding that tricky.

I don't even know what I can do to fix it, other than wait, of course.

So there you go, I guess we figured out which of the posting schemes I would adopt over summer.

Yes, that's right. The one with almost NO POSTING WHATSOEVER.
But school's on the horizon again now; Well, I say school and I really mean college- but it's still got prep work, that I probably should have already done and haven't, to do.
Joyous joys.
I get another new tutor too! Yes, what should be my second ever tutor is actually going to be my sixth? Or is it seventh... I forget. They're pretty much yearly, though they should be for longer than that.
2 Bs, 10 As and an A* in results though folks! Can you believe I got an A in Spanish? I can't, I mean asfghjkl;df

Got onto Pottermore!
Took the test like Harry - begging for not hufflepuff or slytherin, though I knew I wouldn't get ravenclaw, so I was in hopes of gryffindor.
Guess where I ended up.

I'M A STINKY SLYTHERIN.

I'm growing used to it, but I promised to buy the house scarf of the house I was sorted into, which means I now officially have to sell my soul to salazar and buy his house's scarf.
Thanks JK Rowling.
WHY U PUT ME HERE?

Apart from that, Pottermore's BRILLIANT.

Worth the waiting.

It's now job hunting season, so this weekend or next weekend, I'll be travelling the streets searching for employment.
-Blows kazoo-
Hopefully I'll have more luck this time. -__-

I'm off to make a Slytherins of Pottermore group on Facebook. Gotta have somewhere to chill with my homies!:-D

Leave me alone. I know I'm not making sense,
But I know I can't let you come any closer,
It's my security, its my self-defense,
I keep on doing all this over and over.

Helpless- Neon Trees

Welcome Emails, Ties and Rioting

Hey again dudes & dudettes,

So i'm sure a lot of you have heard about the London rioting. What the hell is that about? One guy dies (and believe me, he was NOT a good man) and people thinking it's just hunky dory to go and riot in major cities of England.
Far from cool.
My area's pretty safe... for now. I've heard some riots are starting in the more working class areas of town, but I have faith that the police will be able to keep it under control. My area is definitely rather well off.
That being said, the whole of London seems to be hit pretty hard. Not surprising as it's the capital, but still. I don't think people are thoughtful enough to realise that this is people's PRIVATE businesses that they're destroying. They're people's homes that they're breaking into, it's their clothes and electronics they're stealing, it's their property and their own physical bodies that are being damaged in the process of mindless and unlawful violence.
I have to say that this is one of the few moments when I can say two things;
1) Kaiser Chief's were right. (I predict a riot)
2) I am disappointed in my country.

There is a large growing public outcry against the riots, though. Something specifically known as 'operation cup of tea'. I'm all for it; why not bring at least a little bit of pride back to the citizens of England? After all, my entire view of England is on a fine line between 'Shithole' and 'Respectable'.
If you want to check it out, go to the Operation Cup Of Tea facebook event page for more info.

There's also cleanup activity which makes me smile. There are people who want this to stop, it's just a shame that mindless violence gets in the way of moral common sense sometimes.

Moving swiftly on-wards,

I got my Gryffindor tie a couple of days ago. Heck yes! Now i'm ready to go to the costume showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two!

On another bad note, however, I still haven't received my welcome email from Pottermore.
URGH.

I want to know which scarf to order for 6th form, and how am I supposed to know if Pottermore won't give me my damn email? I keep checking my email regardless, hoping that it will be there.
Apart from some wild speculation, it's not like people even KNOW when they're getting their emails! Could they not have the common courtesy to not keep us in wait?
After all, I could be pretending to do some 6th form work right now, instead of constantly refreshing my emails!

I'm going to go and comment on the Pottermore Insider Blog in a minute and see if they even have the courtesy to reply. It's doubtful, though.

-sigh-

This post hasn't been a very happy one has it? I guess results day is getting closer and closer, not that's what things generally do if you let time pass, and i'm starting to stress out.
A lot.

I just want to do well, but if I do well, I fear sabotaging the relationship with my sister. (You know, with that sibling rivalry shit? She didn't talk to me for at least a week after the last results day.)

Poop.

Pottermore Fever

OH MY GOD I HAVE IT, DO YOU?


IT'S JUST SO EXCITING!

We get to get in on the action dudes & dudettes! We get to see if we can be BETA's.
Now I don't know about YOU, but I succeeded in yesterday's task, and subscribed. I HIGHLY recommend NOT signing up with a Yahoo email account, because I did, and had to keep refreshing for the next-
TWELVE
FREEKING
HOURS.

Not cool yahoo. Not cool.
Therefore, this morning, I logged onto Hotmail and made a brand new account, as I hear people with Hotmail addresses got their emails (verification that is) from Pottermore the fastest.

Some of you may be wondering what the clue was yesterday. Well, it asked you to note how many owls were on the sign at the
Eyelops Owl Emporium

then it asked you to multiply THAT number by 49.

So I went scrambling for the first book in order to find the correct answer, then drew up the calculator on my computer to complete the task.

You had to then add that number to the end of the link, which redirects you to the Sony page. Don't be alarmed! It's supposed to be that way. Wait a little while, and a new thing will pop up, 'Find the magical quill'. It's pretty obvious which one is magical, so you shouldn't struggle with it!

By the fact that registration STILL isn't open today, i'm guessing that they're opening it later for US users. I suspect it'll be up at 2/3pm GMT.

The question WILL be about the second book, no doubt about it. It says so on the Pottermore site! I suggest that, by this afternoon, you have your Chamber of Secret's knowledge DOWN.

After all, you need to be one of the first to subscribe in order to avoid THIS;

 I do feel for whoever got this!
'Go Home'. How lovely.

Oh well, it doesn't matter, because I'M A BETA!
"Congratulations! 
You’ve successfully validated your early access Pottermore account. You will be one of the lucky few to shape the experience before the site opens to all in October."

OH HOW VERY EXCITING!

My username's CatNight85. Not bad for a randomly generated username!

If you're trying for Pottermore today, Good luck! Stay calm and stay patient. You'll get there!

Also, make sure to tell me your usernames!

Good luck again!
