Busy Times
At the moment I'm on the go non stop. I'm restoring an old silver tea set, I'm trying to make my grades higher and my mum and dad are going to new york tomorrow. It's my dad's 40th today. His birthday presents were a holiday in new yourk with a helicopter ride bus pass, a flying lesson and a huge 40 medallion. Lately I feel like i'm back in my old skin and I'm itching to get rid of it, i'm in the 'my glass is half empty not half full' thing again. I can't say what i did, but i totally betrayed a promise to myself a few days ago and i'm just, like, really disappointed in myself. Anyway I have Claire and Toni over on Saturday to see the new house (which is still not home) but luckily James is working so i don't have to have the extra bother of him around. Speaking of James, He brought himself a new car A grey ford escort an with my help he's done it up really well it seems like she'll be a good runner unlike the other one. I've not gone on chat for a few weeks now because I've decided to get a life, instead of doing something when i was bored i used to think 'why not go on chat?' I've gotten out of that now so I'll probably go on this week end. Current Mood: pessimisticCurrent Music: In too deep- Sum 41 |

Not a clue
I'm soo sorry but i have to go back on my promise, I've lost my diary and need to get this down (I'll remove it later)My dad's been ok lately, then it started. The muscle they cut through to get to his spine hasn't healed and the bone has gone outwards creating a walnut size bump on my dad's back and like that wasn't worse enough, He had a headache and now he's had it for 2 weeks. After the op there was some spinal fluid coming out and now they think that something's squeezing his spine and is causing the headaches, so he's going back to hospital and having an M.R.I, cat scan (isn't sure if it's a K or C or what so is just writing it how it's said) and lumber puncture which is really horrible because the last one he had he came back and cried, that is the only time I've ever seen him cry and it was so horrible and... Ok let's move on from this subject because it's just horrible . His shoulders are out of line and the discs have gone in his neck. He's going back to hospital from monday until he's fit to leave. This is really pissing me off now because he's a good man and doesn't deserve this, ti's time like this I miss Tyler. |

Driving Test
Just want to mark this event for future reference. James (my bro) passed his theory driving test thing today and scored 33/35 and I'm pleased for him, but i'm still mad at him for deleting all of my bikini kill music off of the computer which I can't get back so I'm gonna congratulate him later. Butt I don't hold a grudge me... no... never. Current Mood: good |

update
We moved on Thursday the new house is quite cool but it's not home nad i don't think I'll view it as home for a while. One of my neighbours is called Todd and is sooo fine, but after speaking to him for a while I realised he is only a pretty face. I've had a totally strange week, I have this friend at school, (let's just call him x because some people know him irl and if they knew it'd be very embarassing) and i think I have a crush on him, which is really strange because i've seen how he treats most of his girlfriends and how immature he can be. Very confusing. i don't intend on making anything of it because he's a good friend and I want it to stay that way. Don't you ever wish you could tell your body to just shut up?

We're moving
We found this lovely little house and it's all perfect and new and.. stuff. I'm not quite sure if I'm happy about moving, because like I've always lived in this house, ok it's not perfect but it's home. Where as this new place has no history for me, yes it's a nice house (perhaps) and it's in a nice lil area by my aunt, mum's mum and my dad's dad ( if I say nan & grandad ppl think they're married) but i'm not sure if that's a good thing because they can be really annoying sometimes. I do like the houseeven though my mum thinks we're staging the whole thing for her because she knows we're thinking about her now. Alot of ppl ask why this is so I'll explain My brother is 18 this yr and could move out very shortly and I hope to go away (far away) for college so she'll be like all alone. anyway. oh right i've decided how to decorate my bedroom, it's going to be all done in like chinese style (but not the cheap rip off kind of ppl with no taste who just buy the stencils) but I'll take photos and stick them somewhere. Ok later (how many times have i said like?) Current Mood: calmCurrent Music: Gorillaz |

back to school
I hate going back to school after a holiday but it has to be done. We have a new head master and he is soo boring. We had a VERY long introduction assembly straight after form, I swear I've heard more interesting washing machines. It was just one long constant drone but apparantly he told us that he was impressed (yeah, like we believe that) with the school and that he was going to make 'changes'. Then I found my co-tutor was (cue dramatic music) Mr. Seal (for thoses of you who don't know, Mr Seal is like a total monster he throws detentions out like confetti)so that was an unpleasant suprise. But all in all it was a good day because I got out of the house and saw all my friends again. Current Mood: artisticCurrent Music: Gorillaz |

The weakest link
A few days ago there was the weakest link drag queen special, I can't find any pictures, but my dad's friend Chris was on it! If anyone saw it he was crystal the one with the huge pink head dress and the long pink leotardy dress. He makes all og his own costumes which is cool, but he didn't win he was voted off in the fourth round. Current Mood: amused |

Mum's birthday today, gave her a diamond ring from me, James (the bruv) and dad, a full set of fibre glass nails at the hair and beauty clinic and tickets to the wimbledon semi-final. She's dead pleased. We also took her to see thunderbirds F.A.B at the Aldwych theatre. What a day. First of all my brother finished college late so we ended up a bit behind, then, due to road works, the water main burst on the a13 so after 2 and a half hours we only got to barking so we had to dump the car and get the train. But when we got to fenchurch street there was a giant queue for the cabs. This was at 7:25 and the show starts at 7:30. So we decided to go and flag one down on the main road. And guess what there were none. We decided to give up when a cab stops and says "where do u wanna go?" At 7:32 (yes I kept looking at my watch) we pull up outside the theatre. We ran (even though i was wearing my brick heavy boots) to find fire engines outside. One of the neon lights had caught the banner and set it alight. So we had to wait until it was under control before we could get in. In the shows they do bits from captain scarlet, stingray and thunderbirds. During one of the acts captain scarlet says "But down the gun or I'll shoot" (and he's invisible so it wouldn't matter if captain black shot him) and captain black says "But if u shoot me I'll shoot...Him" and a huge spotlight turns on my dad captain Scarlet says "but he's just an innocent member of the public" and captain black said "I don't care" Meanwhile why dad is like beetroot. And the captain scarlet surrenders. ndt he show is totally funny. I recommend it and this is the last time it'll be in London. Then we went out for a meal and then returned home. The End I don't blame u if u don't believe this story I wouldn't if i was reading it but it is true! Current Mood: tiredCurrent Music: TV themes |

Saw dad today and I'm really happy it took away alot of stress.He has a five inch cut,a nd has to wear a brace thing to keep his back straight. But with the drugs he's only in a bit of discomfort and a little bit of pain. I'm more happier than i have been in a long time :) |

Dad update
He seems to be in alot of pain but he managed to walk down a short corridor so that can't be bad, can it? He really trusts the doctor Mr. O'Dowd and when thr registra came down he told my dad that he did a lot more than he normally does in those operations, my dad trusts him completely. My cold is clearing up so I'm going to see him tomorrow, I just have to brace myself because i don't know what kind of shape he's in. It was soo sweet yesterday because I found out that my dad took the picture of me and him that I framed for father's day into hospital with him. But anyway this is just a quick note to let you know how he's getting on Later |

Nail Biter
I have my predicted G.C.S.E grades, an A in history and food technology and a b in everything else. Im proud of them but I now it's a thing of living it up and not letting my parents down. My dad had his operation Wednesday but my parents chose to tell me it was on tuesday so i wouldn't worry about it during my tests. That explains why my mum chose to tell me nothing about how he was. The mothership and Kay (my dad's sister) went and saw him yesterday they've told me that he's ok but a bit stiff I'm worried about him today because today they are going to get him out of bed and try to get him to walk arounbd a bit. He's in a alot of pain when he moves. Problem 2, my brother hasn't got his drivers license yet, but when my mum goes out he takes his car off the drive and uses it to go shopping. Even though my brother gives me alot of hassle and gets me in trouble with the mothership alot i won't grass him up, but I'm worried about him getting caught or getting in an accident. My brother is extremely cocky so would also do stuff to try and impress people. I try to tell him how wrong it is and that he shouldn't do it but he just won't listen. i don't know what to do because I want to stop him without involving my parents or anyone else. I'll have to ponder this one. Problem 3, had my first 2 module gcse tests yesterday for science and on onbe i think i can safely say i failed miserably. I hate physics and the questions were all based on things we hadn't studied. I think I did ok on the biology paper because i knew or think i know most of the answers. Everyone seems to have lots of problems at the moment and seem really depressed. i won't go into names so most of the week I've been acting like some kind f agony aunt, don't get me wrong I don't mind or anything, I like helping friends, but I came to a startly conclusion. If i never saw any of my friends again I would only be bothered by one. I don't like this idea. I've started to get bored with most of my hobbies but art. I find mytself sketching things when I'm bored and I'm very fond of using charcoal and chalk in my work. I have Claire's Vampyr Devil skull which I'm trying to learn to draw and am doing celtic knotwork from a site that marble showed me. I like sketching nature, like trees and leaves etc. I'm going to end it here. Speak to y'all soon. Current Mood: artisticCurrent Music: I'm in too deep |

*Eeeeep*
On December 5th I'm doing 2 edexcel module tests, I'm really nervous about it, but it's not too bad. Today I found out that there is a fixed date for my dad's operation. He goes in December 4th, how can i deal with it? I mean I'm totally scared for my dad because it's a 50/50 thing and (even though few ppl believe it) I care about my grades. what am I gonna do? I hear ppl saying about how they turn to god and stuff in times of crisis, but what have i got? Current Mood: depressedCurrent Music: miss saigon |
