I have just come back from the hairdressers to get my fringe trimmed, so I figured I’d show it off. I’ve had a blunt fringe cut in- I haven’t had one of these since the days of my mum cutting one in on me herself…. *shudder*  But I like it. It looks better in person I think, but it’s still taking some getting used to, especially having a BISUARU fringe for the best part of 3/4 years.

But yeah. With the exception of my review tomorrow about my final report (which was glowing, by the way) I am done with school for Easter. Which means I fully intend on getting lots and lots of sleep- something of which I seem to be severely missing out on as of late (worrying about UCAS, which was submitted today(!!) probably didn’t help) I also plan on doing lots of work for Photography over Easter, I’m currently feeling really inspired- some people are putting a downer on this by thinking they’re better than me/the rest of the world, but I really feel good about what I’m going to do for my final pieces for this unit. I ran my ideas through my tutor briefly today and he seemed really keen on it- and was really surprised when I showed him an example of what I wanted to do that it was actually my own work. I don’t know whether this is a good or bad thing, but I’m assuming it’s the former rather than the latter, as he then went on to say how me and Freya are some of his strongest students and general stuff that wins the day. \:D/

Today I somehow managed to get roped into attending the year 12’s drug and alcohol workshop that Freya was forced to attend (I went out of pure boredom) and it actually turned out to be quite funny- they gave us ‘beer googles’ to show how alcohol distorts vision and prevents us from doing things normally (I am however already aware of this from my own drinking experiences- you can also see how they distort stuff due to the fact my eyes are half way up my forehead. ), me and Freya decided the best way to test these out was to have a slappy fight whilst wearing them. Good times indeed. I should probably also add that Freya is the funniest person I have ever met, and can, without fail (and without even trying) make me laugh idiotically for a good 20 minutes every time I see her. I have such an awesome best friend.

Time to go make me some lunch, I think.

…whoa, 50 entries.

Anyway, this weekend has been pretty awesome, I’ll start with Friday.

I finished school at 11am, and went into the city to pick up some stuff and get a Max Factor makeover (as seen on the right, also wearing the get-up I was planning on wearing for Ben’s house party).  It was really fun getting my make-up done for me, and finding out the best ways to apply it. She didn’t actually change my make-up that much from how I have it normally, but it managed to stay on all night as opposed to like… 30 seconds. Clearly, Max Factor > cheaper brands. And there’s my advertising done for this entry.

 I got the bus at 7 and met Charlie to go celebrate her birthday. I think Charlie was really disappointed as only 5 people (including herself) showed up, but with that said, we (or at least I did) had a really good time.

We went and had a few drinks at the Eagle, and then made our way back into the city to get some Chinese food (also stopped by Ben’s for a quick kiss and cuddle ♥), only to see that it was a stupid price, so we wondered about for a bit, and decided to go get some Indian food. I’m not normally a fan of Indian food but what I had was really nice, and the place had a really great atmosphere. After this Charlie and her brother walked me home at around midnight and that was Friday sorted.

 Saturday! I got up and dyed my hair so I’m no longer ginger. It’s a lot darker than I initially wanted it to be, it’s like.. a blacky brown but it looks good and most people think it suits me so it’s all good. I then got ready to go out and again met Charlie at 7 to go for drinks at The Bell with a few of our friends before we moved on to Ben’s party. Now, it is probably worth mentioning that by the time Freya had arrived at The Bell, I was already half cut. At this point, my false eyelashes had fallen off and so me and Lee decided we could put those false eyelashes into a uh, better use. (I was also wearing the other false eyelash, but then it fell off before I took the picture and couldn’t find it again. D:)

Butty, Charlie, Freya and I bumped into Dan & Rosie whilst leaving The Bell so I gave them a quick hug and drunken slur, before we went to the Off-Liscence to buy a bottle of “Jacobs Creep” before making our way to Ben’s house. By this time I was so drunk. To summarise I ended running about the house hugging Ben’s housemates and being all LOLOL CAN I ADD YOU ON FACEBOOK?!?!?!1111 and then asking anybody who I didn’t already know what their name was. D: 

Looking back, it was pretty embarassing, but all in all it was really fun. Everybody was really nice and I got to know Ben’s housemates better and from now on I think I’ll get on with them a lot better in the future. Everybody left at around 3:15, and Freya stayed over too and me and Ben must of went to bed at about 3:30. Both Ben and I were tired so he fell asleep instantly, however, my body completely ignored my last post and I spent the whole night trying to doze off with a horrible, snotty nose. DDD:  (The picture on the left is me by the end of the night… compare it with how I looked before I left and you can see I was a little bit wasted. XDDD) The following morning was basically spent hanging out with Ben, Ben 2 and Freya till about 3:30pm when I went home. And right now it’s even worse, I feel like such crap. D:

Still! I will watch the end of Clueless, get an early night and hope I feel better in the morning.

So possibly I may have hit a new level of sad if I’m updating this blog, which nobody reads, in my lunch break. But whatever, I have nothing to do for the next 23 minutes and seeing as the photo I wanted to use for this entry was already uploaded ready, I see no problem in doing so. Nobody really cares about what I do anyway. :/

Sunday night I met up with an old friend of mine to go check out a jam session for his new band, Support the Dead and take some promotional ‘behind the scenes’ photographs for them. Their drummer was in Leicester that weekend, and so without a drummer they found it really difficult to get into the swing of things, but they did manage to get hold of a drummer for another band to perform the song ‘Severed’ which was actually really good. The rest of their stuff was experimental, but considering they only formed a few weeks ago, I think there’s some definite potential for the band. Plus they’re a bunch of really nice guys so I was glad to take out some of my spare time to do the photography for them. I’ve still got a ton of editing and photos to go through, but I’m really happy with how some of them turned out (such as the photo on the left.)

However..! My night was slightly ruined as on the way back home I stopped at an ATM to get some money to pay for a taxi, and the machine charged me and didn’t give me my money. So what should have cost me £10 cost me £21.85. Suffice to say…. I wasn’t happy. I went down to my bank though the next day and they were great and filled out an ATM dispute form for me. The only downside is that it’s gonna take 4 – 6 weeks (!!!) to get my money back. But at least I am getting it back.

Aside from that, things have been quiet for me. For some reason my legs have been really hurting, which is making walking SO difficult at the minute, but being the awesome being that I am, I am persevering and going on (…more accurately because my parents told me to). Aside from that, the only other major thing worth mentioning/gloating about is that I got some very good lovin’ from the boyfriend yesterday. I kid you not, best ever.

I want to play on The Sims 2. And I still have 13 minutes until my lesson begins. Dang.
