Hellow.
Drama on Thursday wasn't too bad, mostly we were just watching other people. Next lesson (tomorow) we are 'building a scene' which should be ok. We have to come up with characters for everybody and put them in a scene.
I also have a mock science GCSE on Tuesday. I think I'm prepared....ish. Very prepared for Biology, and I still have reivison time anyway. I have copied out all the notes I need and am going to be revising them before bed because it sticks in my head then, for example: in the atmosphere we have 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% argon :). That is what I have learnt in a night of revising hehe. After that the words became meaningless so I took that as a sign of tiredness and went to bed.
I was actually in a hotel room in Portsmouth. We took some of Sarah's stuff that she'd forgotten to Bournemouth and the went to Portsmouh with Emma's stuff. We left on Satruday and half the day we spent at Bellissima (Jane's lingerie shop which mum is helping run) moving boxes of lingerie from the Belissima in Sherborne to the one in Wimborne.
In the car I looked through teh boxes and there are some BEAUTIFUL things. Majorly expensive though. Most of the stuff in the shops are over £100.
In Portsmouth me and mum went to TGI Fridays and had a really fit waiter. When he had gone mum said 'ooh he's a bit fit'. It was tres cringey. It is just wrong for a person of her age to cal somebody fit. Lol. Anyway if you ever go to TGI Fridays I would recommend their pudding with the warm chocolate brownies at the bottom with vanilla icecream, cream and popcorn :) Me and mum shared. Oh and also the sorbet with fruit salad and lemonade poured onto it (though we didn't have them in the same night, we've been before.)
Today was spent trudging around portsmouth looking for a pine shop because Emma wants a desk, and me feeling very ill as in a cold and Emma with a giant hang over.
Also found out that Sarah had gone clubbing in Bournemouth last night and had gotten so durnk she snuck into the halls of residance (she lives in a house, not halls) and slept in one of the rooms that was unlocked. I don't think it belonged to anyway lol. So theres me all left out and hang-over free :'(.
We did go to Dorothy Perkins though and I'm very sad to say that the black cardigan with the green bambi shape on it makes me look frumpy at fourteen :(. Though I did get a really nice long pink top with pandas all over it :P It was reduced too, yey!
Accesorize has some REALLy nice stuff in it! I so wish I had money! I think I'm going to have to do what I never wanted to do and put an add in Costcutters for a babysitter. Yes, I know! Its not that I don't like small children, its just that they...well they annoy me and I'm not very good with them!!!
Speaking of small children I spoke to Matthew on the phone today (he doesn't count as a small child that annoys me) and he said 'Hello Pip' like he was fluent in english :) He also counted to 9, with the exception of 6 (said seven twice). It was very cute. I also spoke to Boom which was really really good. I was kiond of worried that it would be awkward and neither of us would know when to say goodbye, but she said it in time before our conversation got a bit holey which was good. Dad lacks that kind of skill.
I don't know why but I can't realy have a fluent conversation with him...especially not on the phone. Its not good. I love him though. But I can never bring myself to say it because it sounds weird and awkward like it doesnt belong in my vocabulary when I say it to him. Though don't get me wrong, I do love him.
My new book has come! Its 'What I Was' by Meg Rosoff. So far it hasn't matched up to How I Live Now, which is a shame, but it seems better than Just In Case. It is good anyway, and has a gorgeous cover. I might be as sad as to post a picture of the cover. :)
My Panda (who shall forever be known as Panda and his real name shall remain a mystery) is making me watch an anime called Full Metal Alchemist. I have to watch 50 eisodes plus the film as soon as possible. The reason I wanna do this is because he has a really kwl band thing that he wears around his wrist that I want, so he's bribing me. I have to do all that, plus give him a replacement for the band, before he will give it to me.
Oh I'm also hopefully going to teh Clothes Show Live. I'm going to start saving up for it now so I can buy stuff :) And Emma and me want to go to Brighton where I have never been before because the shops there are apparently amazing. So I'll have to save up for that too. Plus I reallly want some new dangly earrings or just any earings would be nice, so I'm gunna save up for that too. Infact I want clothes and accesories in general.
Anyway I shall leave now, until I have something interesting to post about. Bubi...

Drama Argh (Say as one word ;P)
Today was mufti day which was cool. It was the first time I've really been confident on mufti day. I wore a bluey purpley top with a lacey black one underneath, black jeans and black dolly shoes. No converses! Wow....this really is a step forward for me :D haha.
First lesson we had drama, which is usually a really really good lesson. At the moment we are doing an improv about a busy resteraunt kitchen. In our kitchen we have a head chef, two under chefs and a waitress. We also have to add a special ingrediant thats like...holy, and one that everyone is scared of. We also have to have an introduction and use states of tension.
I think our play would be really really good and funny, except for these things: We have no proper structure, everyone keeps changing things and improvising! This makes the scene a) much longer and probably more boring b)messy because if one person improvises the other have to re act to that and it messes the whole sequence up! I'm the kind of person who works well with structure in a play. I can act, but only when I know what is going to happen. I can improvise to but not through the whole play. I also have to have an accent thats kind of german/italien and its fine when I know wha I have to say but when we improvise I don't! I have to make it up. Its bloody annoying too when I've told them over and over ok we know what we're gunna do can we just stick to it? Its bad enough that we don't have scirpts and stuff anyway!
Also, one person in our group is driving me CRAZY. I'm not gunna mention names just incase somebody does find this somehow who will tell her and upset her, but I have to say something!
She plays a character who tells us what dishes to make, so basicly the scene is in her hands, as she sets off the que for the scary ingrediant and the special one.
On the first lesson we were each developing our characters but she just wasn't trying...so we gave her ides, and the one she liked was to be really really engergetic and kind of hyper.
My mum just wanted the computor so I told her I had to finsih this, but then she got all huffy and she's scary when shes huffy so I ran and hid in my room, where I lit lots of pretty candles and my pink fairylights and turned all other lights off :) It was very nice and relaxing after a bad day. Anyway, I still havn't finsihed telling you what happened in drama so here we go:
So even though we've practically told Chloe what to do, she's still not doing it. She's just walking around slowly dragging her feet and saying in a droney kind of voice 'beans on toast' for every order. Its REALLY annoying.
So we were on the stage when Miss H told us she wanted us to show our improv. The first thing that went badly was the introduction, which we had completely forgotten about. So she let us off and told us to do it next lesson.
Yet again eveyrbody improvised and it was messy.
Then when we were done Miss H told us that we were gunna do it again but when she calls out the number for the states of tension we had to do the play in those states. It was really bad because some we hadn't gotten the hang on yet, ontop of having a play with no structure. It was basically awful and really embarrasing. And then our waitress forgot to come in and say what she had to to set off the rest of the scene, so that it went on and on for ages just with the same things. Because of the position of my character I couldn't promt her and in the end Miss H just stopped us from carrying on. It was awful!
So that was my really bad drama lesson.

My First Entry (The Very Very Very First One)...Ever
Why hello.
This is the first entry of my blog, so beware of crappy ness. :D
I suppose I should probably say a bit about me incase somebody who doesn't know me is reading so...
My Life Currently...
Ok I'm 14 years old and in year ten. I live in quite a small town in Somerset (south west of England). At school (as well as the usuals) I am taking Art, Drama, Dida and History. I have an insane history teacher, Mr Dealey, who looks a bit like an over excited (oo-er) shetland pony. I think the last lesson I had with him was about the history of condoms....did you know that Casanova favoured a lamb's bladder one, and that he was the very first person to use a condom to stop pregnancy? Its true.
I've got two sisters and a brother...my family is a tad complicated. Well not really but yea. I'll put it simply for you: My mum and dad are divorced. My dad has re-married a thai woman (no she WAS NOT a thai bride, they actually MET) and two years ago she had a baby. My half brother is called Matthew and he is amazing! For his age he is very clever, though he couldn't say my name for ages after having it repeated to him constantly...and honestly, how hard is it to say Pip? He's also a very pretty todler, and I'm not just saying that cos I'm his siter. He has my chin :) unfortunately thats because we inherited our dad's chin so yes...I have a man chin. :'(
So Dad, Boom and Matthew live in Reading because that is where dad works. He used to live in Somerset but got a promotion and had to move.
Me and my two older sisters live with our mum, who is currently single and looking...which is extremely cringey. Emma is the oldest at 21 and Sarah is eighteen. Emma is in her last year of uni and Sarah in her first, infact she just moved down there today. They both live a long way away and it is very sad that I am all on my own now apart from mum....but mostly on my own because mum has two jobs and hardly ever home. Ok, you might think that sounds great...but its actually really lonely and sometimes really depressing. But lets not think about that :P I have loads of cousins but they all live down in cornwall, about three hours from here.
My freinds are amazing. I have six really really close ones...they're all extremely spazzy in the nicest non mentally ill way....well actually some of them may well be mentally ill.... I don't actually know what I'd do without them...my life would consist of lessons about condoms and...well thats about it actually. They're all really unique...I hate it when you see some people and their freinds are just all clones. I mean one has to be genuine, but which one!? WHICH ONE!!!... k spaz out over. That was a pathetic spaz out but anyway....moving ooooonnnn....and they all bring something completely different to our group of freinds and generally my life.
I don't have too much going on aside from alot of school work for my GCSEs, unless you count The Fashion Show, but thats school work really. I still havn't decided what era I'm doing either. Though I know I'm making two things, one for me to model and one for this guy Dan to model. Ebony and me are working togethar on that, I'm making something for Dan and she's making something for Eleanor, and they'll walk down teh catwalk togethar.
Also there is Young Enterprise, but thats with the school too. I just got voted to be Managing Director, which Im really really pleased about.
In our group there is Sophie, Beth, Timea, Elena, Helen, Fiona M, Chris and me. Beth and Sophie were also running for managing director togethar, but in the end they couldn't :( and Elena was also. So instead of running togethar Beth ran on her own. Beth and Soph are two of my bestesty friendsys btw. I'm really glad I got managing director even though Beth didn't ( :'( ) Because she would have made a good one. But I don't think it'll matter too much in the end, because one of the thing I said I would do as managing director would be to make everything fair and equal for everybody and let everybody voice their own opinions :).
Anyway, enough of boring stuff....
At the moment, I honestly don't know what I want to do for a job in later life. I want something that will either earn alot of money, or allows me to travel, me because the one thing I KNOW I want to do is travel and have a nice house and garden :) Hehe. Also it's good to have money in life I find...because you can do alot of good with it if you try to, which I would, and also because I find that I rather like shopping.
I like the idea of being a screen writer, because I love film and I love writing. I also love photography, fashion and makeup too, and I LOVE acting....but I don't think its what I want to do. I have wanted to be an actress for ages and to make it to the west end (because I wanted to be in musicals, which I love) but now I think I'd prefer to be in a film, but not a normal film. The ideal thing for me to be in would be something like the films that have left a big impact or impression on me, like The Butterfly Effect, The Virgin Suicides, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, or anything by Tim Burton :) He is my most favouritest director, and I love the stlye of his films, like the gothicness. My three favourite films by him are The Corpse Bride, Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissor hands. All have Johnny Depp in them lol. He is one of my favourite actors, not because hes hot (though I don''t deny it :P) but because he can play really different roles and still be an amazing actor. He also tends to play really weird characters, which I love :) He's also in LOADS of Tim Burton films, but he really suits the type of films Tim Burton directs. I can't wait for Sweeney Todd. It also has Helena Bonham Carter in it, who I really like but I havn't seen in much things, though I think she'll be amazing in this. I jsut found out she was in Corpse Bride, too. She was fantastic in Harry Potter 5, though the film itself let me down. I wish she had more lines it it. Her costume was amazing too, she really looked the part for Bellatrix Lestrange.
So thats my rant about films over, there will be more coming I promise,lol. Annnyway where was I before I started ranting? Ok.
I also really love the English country side. It's so beautiful, I love taking photos of it so you'll probably see a few on here if you keep reading other posts. I love fashion too, unfortunately fashon=money which I don't really have. Must find a job!!!
One of my favorite websites for accesories is www.ladyluckrulesok.com It's amazing! iv already bought quite alot from there, but I really recommend buying stuff because 1. you get a really kwl freebie 2. They give you really nice packaging 3. They put little business cards in that are really really pretty and I like to stick on my wall.
Hopefuly me and Beth and maybe some other people will go to the Clothes Show in Birmingham this year and I can see their stall! Yeyyyy getting excited already hehe.
I like apples of the fiesta kind which we grow at home and I love doing country-ish things like going on walks down picturesque little lanes and woodland and around national trust houses :) Also going on picnics and having bonfires and rockclimbing and blackberry picking, and generally rambling.
I love reading books. I have never really had a favourite author or book though, just lots of them. I think it was the christmas before last though that my mum got me a book called How I Live Now. It is actually amazing. Seriously. The best book I have ever read. Not nescasarily in the quality of the writing but just the story line and how it managed to move me and make me cry not just because the ending was really sad but just because I had no more left to read...sounds pathetic but thats how much I love it. You should read it no matter who you are, or what, for that matter. Its by Meg Rosoff.
Her other book was a bit disapoinging though, after reading How I Live Now. It was still a good book though, but a bit drawn out especially in the middle. The ending was really amazing though and so was the beginning. Thats just my opinion though, you might like it more than How I Live Now, so I still recommend it. It's called Just In case. Im waiting for her third book to arrive on Monday, it's called What I Was. I'm really excited and can't wait to read it. I went on Meg Rosoff's website, and she said that its the first book that she's ever written that made her cry.
Anyway, I really have waffled so I'm going to leave you now. Bye bye xxx
Some pictures I took on Exmoor, when the heather was at it's best.
The annoying thing about these pictures are that they're stretched upwards and I think they may be cut in half....
My Favourite Pic, Robber's Bridge On Exmoor
This was taken in the car, so you can probably see a bit of blurryness and also my reflection lol.
