i should be revising but instead i am sat here nervously listening for the pur of my father's beemer pulling into the drive so that i may dash upstairs and pretend that i have been revising.
the events of the last few days have been pretty interesting, with the begining of my GCSEs and such. i just want to get them over now, though i am enjoying the freedom that they provide, coming and going from school when i wish to. which is liberating ^^
i think i shall start my entry with the events of Monday.
Michelle and i spent the day together 'revising' at school and so most of the day was spent talking about everything and nothing in starbucks as i attempted to keep my hot chocolate as warm as possible for the longest amount of time by insulating it with my bodily fat >.<
i hate tepid hot chocolate.
outside sat two men (one of them looking very much worse for wear) and he was showing another man a portfolio and a comic, so naturaly michelle and i being the nosey people that we are watched this transaction with some interest untill i spotted Tahmina and Marium through the big windows and ran out to greet them and they came to join us for abit.
then we spotted that the men had gotten up to leave and i was hit by an urge to go and talk to the man and ask to see his comic. after much dithering on 'will i wont i' michelle told me to stop being silly and tahmina michelle and i rushed out and caught the man half way down the walkway and spluttered a nervous and inauditable plea somewhere along the lines of 'we saw you out of the window and wondered if we could have a look at your art'.
so he said that was fine and we went back to starbucks and he got out his sketch books and showed us all of his art, he drew people really small and painstacingly detailed. he showed me a photocopy of two people in from of a VW wagon and i said 'oh my god i want one of those' refuring to the wagon and he gave me the photocopy ^^ and he told us about how he'd been living rough most of his life as noone wanted his work and that he doesnt get paid enough on the building sites to keep a house and that its giving him arthritus so he wont be able to draw anymore and he showed us the designs for his bands album cover (Drug Sniffing Dogs - Guns against Guitars) and invited us to one of his gigs so michelle and i are going to try and go. then (i cant remember how it came up) but he mentioned that he had once lived in a slum with Banksy!!!! i almost died! i said how much i loved his work and he told us about how graffiti was the only way that Banksy could show the world his art as noone wanted to publish it. so i asked how i thought that it was a group of people as in his book he always refures to the creation of his work as we (we did this we did that) and he said that Banksy was talking about everyone, like minded artists like us and himself. so that was amazing, and when we sort of finnished talking he left us saying 'one day we'll change the world'.
best last words ever!
so michelle tahmina and i sort of stumbled back into starbucks (Marium had stayed inside) and were like... wow.
then tahmina left and michelle and i carried on with our 'revising'.
then we decided to have a wander around the cathederal and as we sat in the courtyard (the one which we ate plums in with ned Livvie) and who should walk by but the woman who works in the Cheltenham Fopp! and her partner and they were taking pictures about the cortyard. ive always marveled at her gothicness from afar ^^ and she was wearing the trousers which i fell in love with when i saw her and full of confidence from talking to bum artist Banksy guy i whent over and said hi.
i actualy stared the conversation by saying 'haha sorry, but do you work in fopp?' and she smiled and said yes then i actualy said 'i thought so, i recognise those trousers, you have a nightmare before christmas t-shirt aswell dont you' hahaha i must have sounded so strange. anyway so we chatted for abit, they were taking photos for her partner's DJ album, his alius was Elliot Ashes and he did alot of gothic industrial stuff (which is a genre ive got into recently because of Vampire Freaks) and we talked about Camden and other gothic stuff hehehe and then she took a picture of us all sat on the well and said to drop by Fopp for a chat some times, or come and listen to her partner in his new venue (though ive forgotten where he plays >.<). and they left and we wandered some more untill we were sat on the grass outside and they passed by again and she came over and gave us her mobile and said to stay in contact.
so yeah... haha it was an amazing day! and it made me think you know, there are so many COOL people in this world. (always someone cooler than you :P)
so yes, tuesday yielded english lit and ICT and i have DT on friday which i probably should be more worried about than i am right now.
Wednesday was amazing too, though in a different way.
Will and I had aranged to meet up but he could only come in at 12:15 and i had to come in at 8:30 because i had to get a lift with my mum. so i met up with Jess ^^ and Hannah G at 10:30 so that they could entertain me untill 12.
hahaha, so I met Will at the beers and we sat and waited for Jess and Hannah to come back from Tescos who decided it would be funny to sneak round the back and sit just meters away from us (without us knowing!) and watch, those little perverts >.<>_< which was interupted by a security gaurd that told us that we'd been caught on CCTV and told us to 'move along' oh god i could have DIED of embarrasment!!! half of me wanted to cry and the other half just kept repeating fuckfuckfuck over and over like mental rape. oh well. so then it was my time to go home and i left Will with the rest of the group (which had grown very much in size) and i was really annoyed that i had to leave so quickly. i didnt want to be left out you know :(
ANYWAY.
to finnish this off, i watched another really good film last night, i didnt want to go to sleep, i just couldnt. it was called 'Talk Radio' and i think you Michelle will really like it. its funny its entierly set within a studio for the entire film, well flashbacks and the ending are set outside but that doesnt count >.< anyway yes its a very 'deep' film about society, im not sure what era its set in but there's alot about Neo-Nazis and racism in it. oh no i tell a lie there is one scene in current time that is set outside of the studio.
and as a bonus the actor playing Dr Cox from scrubs is in it, playing the same character but there we go.
yes so... do you feel satisfied that you are now up to date in my afairs?
good.
^^

Well, I'm pretty satisfied with that lovely blog entry. I guess I should write my own version of events, but I'm so wiped from my relentless ACTUAL deleting of some bits and bobs in WotW that I may not be able to. And by ACTUAL deleting, I mean I did not hide them in another file, pretending they were gone, I killed them dead. DEAD!
I will blog later, promise. xxx
