And as I lay forgotten and alone, without a tear I draw my parting groan.

I think this is the longest time I've ever gone without posting, except when I've been on holiday. The main event of recent times was, of course, sauls partay. Unfortunately, the plan for my hair failed miserably, and so I had to go as Cloud on the day his hair gel ran out. This suited me fine really, as I despise hair gel and much prefer to have hair that doesn't feel like its been dumped in a bucket of grease. The evening was pretty cool, with deans costume winning the prize for awesomeness, coming with a full robot outfit consisiting of cardboard boxes covered in tin foil, and the fact that he danced to "intergalatic" by the Beastie Boys just made it even more awesome. However, dean soon took the costume off at it was ridiculously uncomfortable, and he was rewarded with quirke accidently shooting him in the face with my BB gun. Most people had some funky costumes, such as Paul and Nick coming as Jules and Vincent, of Pulp Fiction fame. Unfortunately Paul killed Jules, not painting his face and drinking pussy drinks, something which Jules would never have done. Sauls biggles costume was totally old school, and there were a fair few others but I can't be bothered to name them. Unfortunately, the party was a lot less drunken than the previous one, what with 'rents arriving back at 11 or something. Myself and quirke drank lots of snakebite, and due to my downing numerous pints, I ended up throwing up just a tiny bit, not from being too wasted, simply from not staggering my drinking in any way or form. But I was fine after, and continued to drink, attaining a half decent level of drunkeness. One of the events of the evening was Ben Perry aka: Loser Stoner, turning up and spraying a fire exstingusher through sauls bathroom window. He was beaten away soon after. We all headed home at around 12, and I spent sunday doing something so unimportant I don't even remember, and then in the evening I had a measly amout of people around for the evening, as most were still recovering from sauls. Monday was the last day of Easter, and I spent it at home, and then i headed into uxby with quirke, as I was buying his Nintendo DS off him for £60, and I planned to get some games then go to Pizza Hut with a few people. I succeeded in getting Worms: Open Warfare, and then ate lots of pizza before heading home with quirke, and doing a small amount of work. The first week of school passed without incident, and last friday myself, sam paul and saul headed over to Alexandra Palace to see Kaiser Cheifs supported by none other than Graham fuckin' Coxon. Myself and Paul both preferred Mr Coxon to the Kaiser Chiefs, and he certainly did not dissapoint, playing an amazing set and finishing with "People of the Earth" a song which i didn't think could be pulled off live, but he did it beautifully. The other support band was some insane japanese indie group who danced a lot, used pom-poms and were generally pretty fuckin' weird. I think overral I preferred Graham Coxon to Kaisers, and he defiently wins best support band ever in my books. On saturday we had a good ole' fashin field puss-up, though due to the short notice only 15 or so people turned up, and only a select few of us actually got drunk. Me and innes turned up at 6 as we planned, then waited for about an hour for the others to turn up, but we had fun kicking a ball around, talking about numerous things and strolling around the fields going on a memory trip, which was awesome. it was a fairly average evening, with drinking, chatting, laughing. One of the most hilarious events was paul going mental at me after I told him to move so he wasn't sick on the path, he jumped and started yelling abuse at me, swiped, hit my beer, then stacked it again. Paul remembers none of this. And now its school again. How I hate school.

Your my bittersweet bundle of misery

You'd think with it being the Easter holidays I'd have a lot of things to talk about, and a lot of time to do it. Well one of these is true, I have had a ridiculous amount of time on my hands, and I have not used any of it constructively from an educational point of view. So far this Easter I have done half an hour of revision, not exactly terribly much considering my first exam is in just over a month. Not much has really happened all half term, which well and truly sucks. The two more interesting events of the week were a visit to nicks on saturday, where I just had a few beers. it was a good evening, we watched Green Wing, talked a lot and listened to some music. I also learned that burning a data CD is a lot harder when semi-drunk. (I was stealing In Flames discography from nick, in exchange for a data disc I was giving him containing lots of Disturbed and some other stuff. At about 11:30 we all began to leave, and I managed to lose my hillingdon buddy quirke, as I waited outside nicks for a while with rachel until her 'rents turned up to take her home, being the gentleman that I am. On sunday myself, an ardy, a gareth and a bish went to camden, in search of guns for myself gareth and ardy, and devil sticks for bish. We were met with medium success, as myself and gareth got BB guns and bish got his devil sticks, but there wasn't enough guns for Ardy to get one, so he got some shoes instead. After this we headed home and decided to have a BB gun war a bit later on. So an hour or so later we were all round Pilchs playing Perfect Dark on his Xbox 360 and waiting for pat to turn up so we could go down the fields and shoot each other. Eventually we got there, and me bish gareth and ardy (with a gun borrowed from pilch) dissapeared off into the woods and shot at each other for an hour or so. We also chased ben around and shot at him lots, 'cause thats always fun. I won most painful shot, lifting up Ben's coat and firing point blank into his stomach. That had to sting. After a couple of hours of firing at each other and inanimate objects, we all headed home. Monday evening was spent round kates, playing stupid games and having a couple of beers. Afterwards I walked home with siobhan, and we had a good long talk before arriving home in the safe haven of tudor way and returning to our respective houses. Tuesday was quite possibly the best day of the week, as I saw Placebo, one of my favourite bands EVAR. It was a good evening, they played a bit too much from their new album and perhaps missed a few of the songs which i liked best, but I love all their songs pretty much, so it didn't matter to me. to top it all i got loads of good videos and photos, and they actually played Nancy Boy! My week hit a high that night. Wednesday was spent in, thursday was spent in uxbridge buying supplies for my costume for sauls party. I'm planning to go as the legendary Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. I have everything sorted not, except the hair is an uncertainty, but my mum reckons she can do it by gelling it and putting thin wire in it to hold it in place. And my sword comes up to my shoulder, which makes me most happy. Friday I went round Rachels to much around and help dean with his costume, hes going as Megazord, constructed of numerous carboard boxes. We agreed to fight at some point in the night, so he will taste my blade. If I can swing the things that is, its damn heavy. Friday I spent in, apart from a quick trip into uxbridge to get spray paint, during which I met hannah, who was searching for easter eggs. We accomponied each other on our own missions, before I headed back home to finish spray painting my sword. unfortunately I ran out, and had to use 2 other silvers from my old collections of warhammer and airfix model paints. So the painting is a little patchy in places. But its all good. Now I'm gonna go play some more Guild Wars. I got myself addicted again.

Now theres no beauty in bleeding mascara

Well, the first week of the Easter holidays is almost over. And I have done no revision. Woops. Its been a pretty cool week so far. Last saturday I went to Cheddar Gorge for a hike, which was pretty fun and I arrived home to a party celebrating rachel's bday at my house, which was good fun even if I was pretty knackered. One of the main features of the evening was the stoners coming out of the shed armed with an inflatable whale I had no idea I had, and charging into the house with this whale, which the numerous drunk people found highly amusing. Unfortunately, the party was cut short as my dad arrived back at 11, an hour earlier than he said he'd be back. Thankfully he wasn't bothered at all, and after a small bit of clearing up I threw everybody out and headed off to bed. On sunday I stayed in all day, catching up on sleep and then in the evening I watchd Fight Club, a truly amazing movie. On monday I went to see a teacher from my mums school who had promised to help me with my geog cw, and she was indeed a great help. She had totally ripped my cw apart, putting it down at every possibly opportunity but she knew that she was being harsh and also recognised that this was what I needed in order to help me get the grade I should be getting. Unfortunately, geog cw has been giving me an excuse not to do revision. So far I've done one section a day, and no revision. Tuesday night was spent sitting on the ski slope and drinking with a bunch of people, and a fairly large fire. It was a pretty awesome evening, but me and quirke got a scare when we arrived back from sainsburys laden with alcohol to find the police talking to everyone. Naturally, we about faced pretty fast and walked off in another direction. Thankfully, it turns out that they were only telling us to move the fire from among the trees at the back of the slope to somewhere more open where there were no trees which could catch on fire, and this we did so they went away and myself and quirke returned with the alcohol. Myself, dean and a few other people jumped through the fire a fair few times which was good fun. Wednesday was sauls partay, and so at 6 I left my house and met dean and sam at the end of the road to go get alcohol from ryefield, and with this done we headed back to my house to pick up more alcohol which I had already stashed there, and that paul was supposed to help carry, but he didn't turn up 'cause he was eating so I had to carry a gym bag full of alcohol, and dean had to carry two small bags. So obviously paul was abused when he did eventually arrive. Thankfully, the awesome evening made me forget this (and alcohol may have contributed somewhat) It was good to get everyone together for an evening, and even better when we were all drinking. The evening progressed with lots of fun and drinking, apart from a little fight between abbie and emily for reasons I do not fully understand, but I was too drunk at this point to care really. Eventually everyone started to leave, and some people began to crash out, so I went and secured a blanket and went to sleep on some sofa in sauls room, but I failed at this and so when saul went off to do his paper round, i claimed his bed for an hour or so. At some stupidly early hour in the morning everyone started to awake, and so I also got up and discovered to my delight that I was still nicely drunk, so I joined saul for a morning drink or two while wrapping siobhan and hannah up in "fragile" tape, and then at around half 9 heading home, eating crumpets, doing a tiny bit of geog cw then crashing out from about 12-4, then waking up and doing some more work, watching TV and eating pizza. In the evening I had dean paul and quirke over to play some video games, and we also watched some Doctor Who, which was a nice relaxing evening in. And now I'm going to go get on with some geog cw, and hopefully get at least a small bit done so I can start revising next week.

Edit- I didn't do any work for a couple of hours after. I finally got too pissed off with my computer speakers, which were stolen off my mums old computer when my old speaker system finally broke, so i decided to look into getting into some new speakers. The reason for this decision was that these speakers always skip when playing music, don't make any sound when I'm playing games and are generally shit. Thankfully, I already had a list of speakers from when my old speakers had been dying, and I managed to settle on these, which have been getting pretty good reviews all over the place, especially for the bass on them. So I am now happy to say that within the next week I will be setting up some new (actually working) speakers. Now I really have started to do some work.
