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.`

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

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"

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!
