I probably wouldn't have wrote this blog until the weekend if I hadn't of urged myself to update.

Yesterday my brother got into a fight... Yes, my 11 year old brother got into a fight. He's only been at the school for 4 month, and already he has had his first year 7 fight. He isn't the type of kid that is a trouble maker, he is just extremely clumsy.

What happened was, he was waiting to go into his textiles lesson, and playfully tapped this lad on the top of his head, the boy started pushing him, and as my brother shoved him back he accidentally clipped this other lad on his face. So this 2nd boy he mistakenly hit, started punching him, and then punched him in the neck twice, which is really fucking stupid because if you punch someone in the throat you can cause the victim to stop breathing and probably end up dying without fast medical help.

Thankfully my brother was okay, however I think it's extremely fucking irresponsible of the school to not ring my mam or dad, considering my brother may have Autism (which is classed as a disorder) and can't see how little mistakes of being careless can lead to something life-threatening, it's just the way he is. And it's also stupid how people make fun of him for being the way he is as if he purposely acts immature, and don't know that he has a hard time keeping his concentration and being serious about serious things. Which is why I have to keep an eye on him and sometimes and make sure he is okay, which I sometimes get made fun out of for.

Phew, now that that's over and done with, let's get onto something a little different.

Well, today I had double music, which we done practical that I enjoyed as always, we had a supply teacher for ancient history, and I had maths revision for an hour at the end of the day.

I'm not sure if I already raged about revision in a previous blog, but either way I went... for 30 minutes. This was because as I made my way into class the fire alarm went off, so we all had the leave the building and wait for the fire engines to come check out the entire school (the staff room probably burnt toast again like always) and give it the all clear. Which took about 20 minutes and I was over the moon with because I really didn't want to go and then I had to leave 10 minutes early because I had a dentist appointment (which they say my teeth are perfect :D)

What can I say, I think I must carry a lucky charm or something?... or maybe Aliens?

So, Lor wanted me to blog (or seemed like it), so here you go.

Friday, I went to Lauren's house for an early birthday gathering and I really enjoyed it. The 'party' was hat themed, so everybody hat to come wearing a hat, I wore my beanie, Lor wore an Australian hat, Lauren wore on of her 'angry hats'.

Just to fill you in on the creation 'angry hat':

Last year we were doing a workshop with the Young Americans (search it up if you don't know what it is) and at the end of this three day workshop we were going to do a performance. So as we were sitting around waiting for everybody to set up, our friend Lauren who was sitting two rows in front of us, started yelling at a girl because she was constantly kicking her chair. She eventually began to get really angry, and turned around and once again yelled, but only this time her hat fell off. Me and Lor were laughing our heads heads off, and soon came up with the phrase 'angry hat'. Now whenever Lauren starts losing her cool, we just say 'angry hat' to her to reflect this hilarious moment.

Today, nothing much interesting happened, aside from the fact I was sitting at a dinner table with my friends and this proper fight between Year 9 kids on the table behind us broke out, and they knocked into us as were we eating our dinner, one of them accidentally missed the other one, and punched the back of Kenny's head. Then the whole hall went silent and stood up to watch the fight, then the teachers soon came and broke it all up.

Then after school I had to go to the doctors about my spots on my forehead, my appointment was at 5, there were only a few people in the waiting room yet we had to wait 50 minutes before I had actually gotten seen to. I have to take a course of antibiotics and also a nasal spray for my nose (i've had a blocked nostril for about 2 years now) and then I came home, had my tea and started writing this.

And that's all for today :)

Ouch!

Short blog today guys.

So tonight we stayed back after school (again) to re-record; for the 3rd time now, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', this time we wanted a bass to be recorded in it because the guitar and drums sounded bare without it.

So we got everything set up; drums, electric guitar, microphones, amps and the iPads ready to record. I attached the guitar strap to the guitar, slung it over my shoulders, played one chord and the freaking guitar strap snapped and the stock of the guitar hit my arm that I had my injection in and it absolutely fucking hurt like hell... this happened twice.

Jay and Kenny were absolutely laughing their heads off, and even though I was in excruciating pain, I saw the funny side of it too.

Sorry, but like I said, short blog today guys.

Injections and Practice.

I stayed back tonight after school with Kenny and Jay to re-record our GCSE piece, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' because Jay thought he played drums terrible on our first recording, even though he played fine. We were originally going to play and record at dinner, but none of the teachers would 'supervise' us because they didn't believe us when we said our music teacher would let us practice.

Anyways, before all of that even happened, we had to have our Tetanus (and 2 other illness') injections, but it was all 3 vaccines in one. I'll be honest I got extremely nervous and panicked a little, and when I panic, I laugh, so I was like:

 "Ha, there's absolutely no way i'm getting that, hahaha, if you're not getting yours today i'm not getting mine at all, ha, hah" - Me to my friend Amy.

And it didn't help that Kenny, Jay, Adam and Joe were teasing me, and my friend Lauren (who also cried bless). And Jay saying "The needle is absolutely massive and the nurses will just jab it right into you without sympathy, and because you're so skinny it's going to go right through to your bone ha!" I would have knocked his head off his fucking shoulders if he said that once more, I will admit though, seeing myself get this nervous was funny in a way, because I knew it would only feel like a little pinch (which it did) but for some reason I overlooked what it would be actually like, but just the though of a sharp object pushing through into the layers of my skin just made me freak. 

But the nurse I had was really kind and could see I was nervous, and honestly everything she explained was true, that the injection would last under 3 seconds and it would only feel like a pinch (even for people with a low pain tolerance level). But 2 of my friends (Keith and Joe) said they got a nurse that just quickly jabbed them in the arm unexpectedly and gave them a shock, lol whey.

But now my arm aches, feels numb and heavy which apparently it will tomorrow, but, that will not stop me from guitar playing, in fact, i'm holding my guitar right now :)

Aaaaand that was my day!

Pitch Perfect

So, guess what I have just went to see?

'Pitch Perfect'! Yeah, I went with my friends Amy and Keith, the arrangements were kind of last minute but it all worked out :D

It's a musical-comedy film, I'm not really into musicals because they're cheesy, but I thought this one was hilarious.

And to be honest, that's all i've really got to blog about, it's been a very boring week D:

OH WAIT, WHERE I LIVE IS COVERED IN SNOW, SO WE ALL HAD EPIC SNOWBALL FIGHTS IN SCHOOL... AGAIN! :D

Hehe.

Holiday, Hippies and Hedley.

So guys, it's Sunday today and once again, like every other weekend I get woken up from the sounds of my younger brother and sister screaming at each other, my mam yelling at them for not behaving and so on. (And no, I haven't just woken up).

But anyways, my mam has booked us a holiday (more like a getaway actually) on the 25th of March to go to Primrose Valley for about 4 days I think. I went there when I was little with my Mam, Brother, Auntie, Cousin and my Cousin's friend. I think at the time my brother was 2, meaning I would have been 5-6, and my cousin and his friend would have been 8-9 years old. But this time, it's just me, my Brother, Mam, Dad and Sister, and we're going 4 days after my Mam's 40th birthday and my Nana's 65th (which is on the 21st March, same as Deryck Whibley from Sum 41's!).

*won't actually be wearing this*

In fact, my Mam and Nana (plus my Nana's sister, my Great Auntie whose birthday is on the 23rd of March, she'll be 60) are having joint disco party in a nearby club, and it's fancy dress. The theme is the '70's' so everybody will probably be dressed up as hippies or just in 70's fashion, y'know, with the huge curled hair, flared pants and vibrant coloured clothing. Which reminds me, I still haven't got my outfit sorted :O

Getting onto something else now, i've started listening to an old favourite band I haven't heard in about 2 years, Hedley. I haven't heard their latest album 'Storms' yet so I decided to listen to it and boy, since the last time I listened to them, they've changed, a lot. They're more pop/pop-rock now, than hard pop-punk/rock like they were before, but this isn't necessarily bad though, they still use guitars (acoustic and electric), drums and electric bass in their songs, they've just used synthesizers/textures on most of their songs (hopefully from piano and not computer), and songs where you can hear guitar clearly isn't distorted. So all in all I much prefer their older heavier stuff. But y'know they have grown up, so things will change musically yet nevertheless they're still absolutely amazing live and do many acoustic performances.`

Hedley

And that's all i've got to blog about :P

~RachLaDudette

P.S. I think it's time for a new username on Twitter, but i'm unsure what, you guys got any ideas?

*song quote time*

"3,2,1 It's the final meltdown I want out now
  I wish I would've known to doubt you
  I'm better off alone without you
  3,2, It's the same old story, love gets gory
  Why'd you have to go and change things?
  Now touching you is such a strange thing"

                      - '3,2,1' by Hedley.

And the school kick starts again.

Just started school again on Tuesday after having 2 weeks of holidays, so I thought i'd blog again :) 

First day back wasn't that bad actually, despite the fact I was given a detention for not completing my homework (though I actually tried) and I was supposed to do it tonight but I got let off, yay :D

Anyways, as you know, my friends and I want to go to California and go on a road trip when we're older, however, one friend of mine doesn't want to go. And that's okay, but damn we had so much in store for her, like pulling hilarious pranks on her. She actually had a go at us when we asked if she changed her mind and said that this whole thing is stupid and it will probably never happen, that we'll completely forget about it and that we need to grow up and get a life.

But let's just rewind today back shall we?

Earlier, coming out of RE on our way to dinner, this lad standing that had just came out of our RE class, made a creepy face at my friend, so, she decided to yell "Rachel, protect me"and doing so grabbed me, and hid behind me. So, in my defense, I nudged her off me with my elbow (or at least what seemed like a nudge) and she yelled again "Ow, that really hurt, why'd you do that"? I didn't realize how hard I elbowed her, to be honest I didn't know that I even hurt her in the first place. All my friends, know for a fact that I don't like people in my personal space without my permission, which is why I don't give hugs, instead I just do the knuckle-respect-thing every time I greet them, agree with them and when I say bye. And she knows that better than anyone else. Anyways, after I 'hurt' her, she started pushing me, and consistently poking at me then afterwards laughing about it, making it obvious she was attempting to annoy me. Which pissed me off.

Please don't take this the wrong way, audience, i'm not talking behind her back, she knows I have a blog, it just kinda pisses me off when people are hypocritical.

Also, considering we wanted to save up more money, Lor and Me decided we could try and get jobs as Dog Walkers. Walking people's dogs that are incapable of doing it, busy or just plain lazy, for a fee of course :) so excited about that :D

And I think that's all i've got to write about now :)

Californication

School tomorrow :'(

But despite the fact we have school tomorrow, i've got something exciting to share. It won't be happening any time soon, buuuuut...

When me and my friends are 21, we're planning to go to America! But not just for any old holiday, we're planning to do a few weeks of road-tripping, and then the rest staying in California (probably San Francisco or Los Angeles) :D

Actually, we went out to the town and bought a map of the United States and planned out our route. And when I brought it home in the car, my mam started to get "angry" at me for wasting my money (though me, Kenny and Lor chipped in). She then proceeded to go in the house, tell my dad, they both started laughing, and then they both started singing 'Kids In America' to me.

It's a good thing i'm not easily offended otherwise I would have went all Hong Kong Phoey on their asses.

 Basically, it all started out from a picture Lor posted on twitter:

And then I thought, 'hey that actually would be cool', and I started thinking about how awesome it would be if it actually happened! And so now, we've told all our friends and they say they're totally in on it (well, one is unsure)!

You would call me and Lor, the 'main organizers' as basically we've wrote down essentials and things we'll need, we've looked at hotels, travel buses we could rent, and we've written down a method for saving up money.

Basically, our method is:

There's 7 people in total that say they are going. Our plan is, every week, to each save £1 for 6-7 years:

1 year = £52
6-7 years = £312 - £364

Now, if each of us have £312 - £364 each. We would multiply, £364 by 7 people. Which means, in total we would have a rough amount of £2548, and that's just by the time we're 21. And of course, we would all have part-time or hopefully full-time jobs by then, which some of our pay will contribute, and even the pocket money and birthday money we get now will.

 And that is our plan! >:D

Hopefully it works, Lor says it will without a doubt!
