Not much that's entertaining to write about today, but still.

So today, woke up at about 9'ish, got ready straight away in my tired state and headed straight for my Nana's who lives in Seaham. I hadn't realize that the last time we saw her was 3 weeks ago, honestly it only seemed like last week we visited her...

After that, we obviously went home and had our dinner, and because it was a beautiful day I decided to take our dog out for a short walk to the nearby park and back. Surprisingly I bumped into someone I know from Ryhope and talked for a little bit.

So, I got back home only to find out we had to go back out again with the dog to see how she is in the car. She didn't get in by herself, so my mam had to pick her up and put her in the back seat and took her for a little walk again.

And then we got home and ordered a Chinese in celebration of my mam and dad's 10th anniversary!

P.S. I should be revising right now, but I swear i'll start tomorrow!

For me today has been a really awesome day.

As you know, about 10 months ago I lost my dog Annie, we had her for 13 year so she was quite old and had hearing problems and skin irritation, and we soon had to put her down as her eye became blood red and the vets suspected it was caused because of a bleed in her brain. 

Well on Tuesday, I only found out that we're fostering a dog from a nearby animal shelter/kennel because we want to give another dog a good home and a good life, so yesterday we visited the kennel, took a look at the dog and signed forms and such and went out and bought toys, mats, food bowls and a bed for her. 

So today we got her and awh she's lovely! She's an 18 month year old Lurcher called Jess, and straight after band practice today (i'll get onto that in a bit) we took her out for a walk, and she's settled in loads. She's played with her toys a bit already and wags her tails whenever she sees us, and has ate a canny lot (she's slightly underweight and we should feed her 3 times day) so that's a good sign.

Getting onto band practice now.

Once again, because my mam was unable to drop me off, I had to take the bus to the town to get to where I needed to be.

I hate taking buses, you get so many weird people on buses that sit behind you blasting their shitty rave or sit beside you and their presence annoys you. So as soon as I got on, got the closest seat to the front, I sat beside the window, put my guitar beside me so no one could sit beside me (unless of course someone needed a seat), and just plugged my headphones into my phone and listened to Oasis.

Can't say that my trip was worse than my mates though, he said all throughout his journey there was a kid that was constantly screaming on his bus and he wanted to throw it out the window haha (bit harsh?).

Anyways it was a good laugh (despite the fact £24 is a rip off for two people for 3 hours), we played lots of Oasis, Nirvana and a bit of Blink-182, and then the rest of the time we just talked about things like not being able to wait to leave school and stuff... and then had a banter about what show was better South Park or Family Guy (I say South Park is the better one).

...And then I got made fun of because i'd never actually watched Jools Holland on TV.... sorry, haha?!

I HAD A DREAM!

Not exactly a 'proper blog' but I wanted to tell you guys about the dream I had on Monday night (apart from I did go out after school today with Kenny and Lor and it was funny as fuck). It wasn't weird or anything, but I dunno I just felt the need to share it, so here goes:
________

I had a dream I was in the army (but with a twist) - but there was 4 teams: Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. We were fighting to the death to see which team would win, meaning you could survive... a bit similar to The Hunger Games but with teams.

In the teams there were about 8-10 people, however you didn't get to pick who was in your team or who you wanted to team up with, so if it meant killing your friends to survive then you had to do it, it was 'kill or be killed'.

Getting on, I was in the Red team - don't ask me why, I just was. And you could tell which person was in which team because of the the colour of the berets they wore, so if you were in the blue team, you'd have to wear a blue beret, and if you were in the yellow team, you'd have to wear a yellow beret. However, if you lost your beret or something, you'd have a Bandolier (a strap / belt across the chest that holds ammunition, hand grenades etc...) that represented what colour team you were on.

Bandolier

Our battleground was an huge (and I mean huge) abandoned hospital, along with it's grounds, once again don't ask my why, it just was. We didn't have to stick together in our groups, although it helped a lot in case you got ambushed or something, plus it really did strengthen your ability to co-operate and work in teams. Plus no one was really in charge of the teams, there was no form of official higher authority which really put teamwork to the test.

But some reason, I somehow (?) got separated from the rest of my team and ended up cautiously wandering around the top floor of the hospital and ended up finding a room that had been untouched. Literally, it looked brand new, unaffected by war as if everything had been untouched. And in the room was a massive window that looked out onto the hospital grounds and it takes up almost all the wall.

I look out the window, and see my friends battling each other as they're all on separate teams. But the weird thing is I feel no proper emotion, my mind just goes blank as i'm watching them trying to kill each other. They don't see me though, they're to busy engrossed in trying to murder each other haha. And I must stare out of this windows for a good 10 minutes, watching them trying to survive and the only thing that crosses my mind is: 'Oh well, that's life'.

Then, all of a sudden one of my other friends runs into the battlefield, but sees me looking out onto the grounds from this huge window. The thing is, he resists to shoot at me, and he does an army salute as if to "Well, it's been nice knowing you buddy" and starts battling my other mates instead of trying to shoot at me.

Then, out of nowhere one of my team mates find me and yell "We need you down here, shits going to hell in a hand basket". And I just nod my head and walk away, going off to fight.

Then I woke up.

I thought it was a pretty fucking cool dream, I dunno about you guys, but I wanted to share it :3

Oh, another blog? I'm on a roll this week.

Monday... I hate Monday's, but this Monday was alright.

Today a new girl started school, and to be honest she seems alright, i've never spoke to her or anything despite the fact she's in my form, but yeah she seems cool.

Kind of a boring day, but I felt the need to blog. In maths we learned Pythagoras Theorem, and to my surprise it was really easy, Science we learned about Earthquakes (once again surprisingly interesting), ICT was shit because we were supposed to stay in silence, PE Theory was good I suppose and English was alright.

Also, today one of my friends kicked off with me because I was ignoring her calls and texts.

Here's the thing -

I was supposed to be going to the town with her on Saturday, but I like I said in my previous blog I soon began to feel sick and such. So I text her telling her I wasn't going because I wasn't feeling up to it. She replied back soon saying 'Okay'.

The next morning (Saturday), she rang me at 9:30 in the morning and woke me up, and text me twice after that which I replied to all of them. Later on in the day, she text me again asking if I was feeling better, and I replied and tried to ring me again, in which I missed. The next day, she rang me 3 times. She rang me twice in the morning at 10 past 9 in the morning as I was sleeping and honestly I was too tired to even pick up the phone, so I ignored the calls. She wouldn't stop texting me after that and I was too annoyed to even reply back, and tried to ring me again.

So, on Monday when I went into school she got on my back and started calling me a 'bitch' and whatnot, saying I didn't understand that the more times 'I didn't answer, the more times she rang', but she didn't understand 'the more times she rang, the more times I didn't answer because she was annoying me'

And then she ended up being in a mood with my most of the day because of some silly little phone calls.

But come on people, put yourselves in my situation and my character, somebody who wouldn't talk to anybody if they had the chance to :)

That concludes my day

OH! By the way Hedley (one of the bands I really like) follows me on Twitter now! I'm fucking buzzing!

Angry Blog

Angry blog today.

Why i'm angry:

#1 For the time I have to share a room with my younger brother and he is the laziest fucking bastard i've ever came across in my entire life. Everywhere he goes he's leaves a fucking untidy mess, there's a bin in my room and he still leaves crisp packets, empty drink cartons and sweet wrappers everywhere on the fucking floor. Also, what really pisses me off is he drinks a lot of juice, like full cups and bottles full of juice and leaves it lying either on the floor or anywhere where there is space available and never tidies up.

#2 My sister is the fucking brattiest girl you may possibly meet. Everybody says she can't be horrible because she ACTS like an angel. But let me tell you, when she doesn't get her way she'll fucking scream the house down. For example, the other day she was doing homework, or looking for homework not watching TV, I pick up the TV remote and change the channel over and she screams at the top of her lungs at me and she's only 8. And adding to that, she never does what she's told, you could feel practically ill and ask her politely to stop being a nuisance, and what does she do? She only goes and be's more of a nuisance.

Honestly, as much as I love my family because they provide a roof over my head and food on the table even though we just manage to get by, they can be so fucking annoying at times.

And sometimes the people that hang around with us are fucking annoying too.

And here's why they can be annoying:

The other day I was eating my packed lunch in school, and this girl who hangs out with us can't exactly afford to pay for food at school everyday (even though there's an option to have FREE SCHOOL MEALS if you can't afford much). But that day she had a decent meal, a ham and cheese panini (or whatever it was) and a cake for desert. Anyways, I get out my amazingly amazing chocolate squares bar outta my bag and open the wrapper. And I was just about to eat it when my friend said something, and just as I replied, my 'mate' sitting beside me nicks a huge fucking chunk off the end of my bar and eats it.

You may not think of it as a big deal, but it's one of my pet peeves when people bother you for food (unless you're homeless or a really cute dog, then I feel sympathy for you)

But what a fucking prick, you don't just steal food off someone and then eat it without their permission that's so fucking bad mannered. So I turned around and said:
"What the fuck are you doing man?"
And my friend who also saw it said to her "What the hell [insert her name here] you don't just take food from people"
And she just looked at us as if we were stupid and as if she did nothing wrong.

I mean come on, this is what free school meals are for, for people that can't exactly afford food everyday. And I feel sorry for her in a way but you don't just go and steal food off people for fucks sake.

Grrr.

Angry blog over for today, now if you excuse me, i'm going to listen to 'The Masterplan' by Oasis to calm me down.

Failing music one step at a time...

Greetings.

Finally it's Saturday... thank god.

Well yesterday I had band practice after school, it was shite though. Almost all of the school's musical equipment never works, honestly, I tried two guitars, god only knows how many amps I tried to get working,  I forgot to bring my plectrums so I had to end up using shitty ones that have been cut out of thin plastic. Ugh.

Anyways, the day before that (Thursday) as you know I have double Music 1st and 2nd period, and we had to do a a mock test to see where we were at in music (which is fair to say I failed because I know NOTHING about music theory or writing music properly). And we alsogot our composition feedback... I got the equivalent to a grade F... 11/30. He said it would make a 'good rock/punk song but lacks dynamic and yadda yadda etc etc...'. To be honest, I couldn't give one shit what he grades it as, I like it so fuck him.

Back to the present day ~

Today I was supposed to be going to the town with my friend to see a movie and then go to an all you can eat Chinese restaurant afterwards (it's gotta be my favourite), but later after she texted me yesterday I suddenly had an overwhelming feeling of sickness and I became really cold, so that got cancelled.

That concludes it really.

Recording kits, Dying my hair, Sims 4 and stuff!

Time for another blog, yay.

Over the past week i've been given so much homework I can barely keep count of it, I can't even count how much English work we've had to do, we now get history homework and every week we get a mock GCSE maths test to take home. Actually, I done the maths test the day it was given when I got home (surprisingly) and I feel like i've done well, better than my last mock test I done which I got a 'H' (19/100) on.

Today is a bank holiday so we haven't been to school, and I can't even describe how amazing it feels to not go to school on a Monday partially because you get to miss out on having Maths first lesson, which is the worst!

Onto a completely different topic now ~

I've decided to save up for a £199 recording kit (recorder and audio interface) instead of a Fender Jazz Bass in metallic red. Figures as I love my music so much, i'd love to record some songs of my own and some of my band's songs in my own home, or anyway really seems as it's portable. The kit i'm saving up for is called the Zoom R8 - 8 Track Recorder and Audio Interface and it looks like this:

I'm so stoked for it!

Anyways, so excited for the six weeks holidays, first of all, who wouldn't be because it's 6 weeks off school? Second is my mam is going to let me have the tips of hair professionally dyed (or who knows, maybe my whole hair? :'D) Cherry Red and I can also get my cartilage pierced then as well! It's going to be epic and i'm  so looking forward to it!

It's been a cool week so far.

OH, AND THERE'S ALSO A SIMS 4 COMING OUT IN 2014 AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR IT! :D

Last time I blogged I was telling you about how I was going to see 'Walking With Dinosaurs', and let me say, it was spectacular! I may sound childish for saying that, but go ahead, judge me I don't care. 

But honestly, they were so realistic it felt as if you were in a room with real Dinosaurs. The roars, the way they interacted with one another, even the way they walked and ran seemed so realistic, it was truly amazing!

Onto something else, although the week has dragged, school actually hasn't been that bad.

On Monday I went over my aunties house and my eldest cousin helped me with some of my maths, and we actually had a right laugh, I also got my head around some confusing stuff that I never really understood beforehand with easy methods she taught me. Afterwards, me and my other cousin (whose a year older than me) had a right joke on, he's actually hilarious and although we go to the same school, and see each other almost every other day we never really talk to each other, so it was cool having a catch up with him. We talked about music, and I learned some stuff about rap (that's what he listens to), and he learned some stuff about rock and punk (what I listen to).

Anyways, after that I stayed over their house till about 10 and watched the Sunderland vs Aston Villa match. Yeah we didn't do too good, our goalie didn't exactly do the best job either considering we lost 6-1, but you can't win every game (although that would be amazing). But good on Danny Rose for scoring one goal, yay....?

The next day, we have history. And the new teacher we have is canny, but I don't know how she calmly deals with my mate Keith. What he did was uncalled for, he was wandering up and down the class and the teacher asked him to sit down, and when he did she put her hand lightly on his shoulder and asked him politely to calm down. 

He flipped out.

Seriously, he turned round and just flipped, he went to get his Lucozade bottle, (which bearing in mind our history lesson is based in a computer room) and the lid was loose, and it swiped from his hands, flew to the other side of the room and Lucozade went on the computer screens, on my friends backs and in my hair.I was kinda pissed off because I just washed my hair the night before, thank god I had a brush though because my hair went all sticky and got tangled into clumps, and as soon as I got home, showered again.

Also, I had science that day, on the morning and it was such an interesting lesson. We done a lesson on 'Aliens' and then another one 'The Life Cycle Of Stars'. And did you know, that the star in Orion constellation is soon to die. And when stars die, they explode. The star is too far away to impact or harm earth, but with the light from the explosion, it will turn our nights much brighter! And this could last for anywhere between 4-6 weeks my science teacher told us, and it could/most likely happen in our lifetime of being alive. It will be a once in a lifetime (literally) moment, and I bet it will look brilliant!
