Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

So yesterday was the day we were filming our trailer for our Media GCSE. I'm not sure if i've mentioned it...but basically its about three girls who are left when all the rest of the world have turned into the typical horror movie zombies. Its called Three's A Crowd and I was in charge of makeup. So we all arrived at school at 9am and I began transforming friend Sarah into a zombie. I was totally kitted out; I had made my own fake blood and fake flesh for cuts and bubbling skin etc. To be honest, they looked pretty gross. Anyway, it was a fun day we did all sorts of shots: eyes in cupboards, bloody legs running, humans being torn to peices by zombies. It was quite hilarious. Once we've finished edditing I shall post the trailer and the photos we took of the day :)

Today is Mother's Day and my sister and I bought Mum a bunch of flowers and a book. Nan and Grandad came round aswell as Jess to do homework. Our courseworks due for the Monday after tomorrow and I brought French instructions home instead of English. Yes. I know. I'm stupid.

I'm going to have to do it all on our non-timetable day tomorrow when I have textiles and music. Afterwards (weather permitting ofcourse) myself, Jess, Lauren, Sarah, Allan and possibly Beth are going to the orchards and then back to Sarah's house. Although, I'm not sure if I'm going to go anymore.

At the moment I'm supposed to writing a comparison between the poster and trailer for Casino Royale but I really can't be bothered. Oh well.

Ghrrrrrr!

So annoyed.


My textiles teacher needs to get her priorities straight. Honestly, every single day I come back to do work its a new excuse: meetings with parents, detentions...I don't give a damn, we're your GCSE students we're more important. She keeps on shouting at us because we only have 3 weeks to do all our written and practical coursework in (like we'd ever forget!) and she still hasn't briefed us on the last two and a half objectives! (Objectives are about six to ten pages of A3 paper describing what we have done or are going to do for our practical piece.) My practical piece is a summer dress and i have only just almost finished making the bodice. On the other hand, my friend (Jess) who's making three cushions and a duvet cover has only just finished one cushion :/

So today I'm  there after school and my teacher has the detention students so they're all giggling and everyone has to sit in silence. I can't do anything for the first twenty minutes because instead of helping us, she's having a good old chat with some assistant teacher about sales or something. So then she finally helps me and tells me to stitch along this line, so I do that and take it back to her and she shouts at me: "That's nowhere near 1.5cm you're going to have to do it again now, do it right next time" and then, he unpicks it all and draws a completely different line and tells me to stitch along that. SO she got it wrong and blamed it on me. 

Jebend.

Fall Out Burger Kids Numbers

Omgomgomgomg!

Sooo I went to see Fall Out Boy on Saturday!! =] I got myself a sexy t-shirt and had the bonus of getting to see Kids in Glass Houses aswell as they were the support band along with this random band called Hey Monday? Heard of them? I thought they had good songs but the lead singer sounded kinda chipmunky :S Anyway, Fall Out Boy completed rocked it with loads of their best songs along with their famous cover of Beat It and a new cover of American Boy. Wow, I have to say though, I am now knackered. I did so much dancing and jumping I'm suprised my legs aren't like jelly!

All the little emo kiddies around us didn't dance, but just stood there and me and my sister were like, why the hell did you pay so much to stand there? We were rocking out haha, along with this random guy who started dancing with us infont :)
Pete Wentz did this thing where he sswung the guitar up and over his head and didn't miss one single note...in a word...impressive.

Before we went in there was a MASSIVE queue so we decided to go to Burger King where i got a small fries and a chicken royal and my sister got a large fries and large onion rings, apart from, we were outraged when she did not recieve these onion rings! :O

So yeah, one of the best nights everrr. =]

Oooh yeah, and if anybody's looking for a book to read I totally reccomend 'Numbers' its a really good book and I am waiting in anticipation to see if she decides to write a second book to follow on, because she left it at suchy a cliff hanger! Ah!

Anyway...now its all about exams and line learning. I have a workshop day at the local theatre tomorrow where we have to perform our GCSE play to loads of other schools in our area, so I hope it goes okay! Wish us luck! I also have another play called 'Playhouse Creatures' which I play a very posh actress from the sixteenth century. Seriously, the language used is like gobbedy gook haha, can't understand what i'm saying, let alone learning it! Stress, stress, stresssss!

Also just wanna put in here, thanks if you managed to actually make it through this mega long post haha, and thanks so much for following my blog! :D x x

Joanne Davis.

I love the fact, that although she lives approximately 186 miles away from here (that's an estimated 3 hours and 36 minutes in the car on a good day) I can still honestly call her my best friend. We never really had a choice, we were pushed together through our fathers who have been best friends since long before we were both born. You see, her father Michael Davis is my God Father and ever since I can remember and way before that I used to visit her or vice versa every weekend before the move.

I was terrified when I found out I was moving approximately 186 miles away from her (that's an estimated 3 hours and 36 minutes in the car on a good day) because I thought she would forget about me, just like everyone else I left behind. I should have known at the time that that was impossible. Sure, I don't get to see her as much as I'd like...but that just makes the times when I actually do get to see her that much better.

Her family come to stay with us every new year and its become tradition that we stay awake, huddle around the television and watch the fireworks as the clock strikes twelve at the start of every new year. There's something comforting about that, how even through all of the good and bad times I've had, my fresh start always begins by holding my best friend's hand and smiling. Nothing can beat that.

I'm going to stay with her this Summer and I'll get to see Laura (her sister) aswell which is going to be fantastic. As we're practically the same age (she's only a few months older, but looks about five years younger!) we will have finished our GCSEs and will just be able to relax on her brown sofas watching Hannah Montana and eating Fab ice lollies.

I don't talk to Jo as much as I used to, probably due to exam and relationship stress back here in Hereford but I know she's always there for me as I'm always there for her. I love our moments of silliness when we talk utter crap and noone but us two know what we're going on about.

So here's a footfive to my friend Joanne Davis. She lives approximately 186 miles away from here (that's an estimated 3 hours and 36 minutes in the car on a good day) but I don't care, she's the best friend I could ask for, and none of y'all can top that ;)

I love you Johanne!
