Hello to anyobdy who hasn't got bored of reading my blog (when I do actually get round to posting) oh and to anyone who may just be having a nosey around for the first time. I've been busy recently although I've not done alot, I've had my first few GCSE's which I think prob went o.k ish, but some of the important and harder ones are yet to come so still lots of revision to do, but before my exams I've got my half term. Last wednesday I did get to go and see The Feeling do a free short acoustic set in a record store in Soho which was very good and very small and intimate lol, I also got a poster signed by all of them. After that had finished I walked all the way (partly in the rain) to The slaughtered Lamb where Paolo was performing he was good as usual, as was the other artists. I got a Paolo tour poster from there allthough I was too shy to go and speak to him and get it signed. *rollseyes* Tonight I'm off to see Alchemy at The Bedford so hopefully that should be good. Oh and before I go (my train leaves in 45 mins and I'm not quite ready yet!), wanted to mention that I've got into Big Brother and like to watch BB's big mouth althought that's mainly because I think Russel Brand is sexy. ;-D lol I wanted to get in the audience but you have to be over 18 which annoyed me as I can watch it on T.V so I don't see the problem of me going there, I also can't got to any more of Paolo's gig at the moment as they are mostly over 18's. Something I should be able to go to though is the London Film and Comic con who have recently announced photo's sessions to be held with Elijah Wood which should be good, as long as I can get tickets, as I'm planning on being dressed as an elf from LOTR lol. They have also now announced John Barrowman (O.k that could be wrong, it's something like that, he was in Dr Who andI think that Dancing on ice thing). I still need to get my cosutme or make it yet though! One more thing before I go I've joned up on undercurrent.com so that I can be in paolo Nutni's street team whichlooks like fun and it's helping him which is good, he has a video on The Hits and The box at the moment if anyones interested, check it out...shameless plugging lol. :-D Anyways best be off, should get round to reporting on tonight somewhen tomorow or the next day, maybe :-)
ps. This has just been typed in a bit of a rush so sorry for any spelling msitakes. :-)

Paolo Nutini
I went to see Paolo Nutini in Islington last night and I'm copying the post I made on his forum onto here for now, I shall try and add more of my feelings of the evening tomorow but as my GCSE's are scheduled to start on Monday and I don't feel ready yet I may not get chance. I will just say now incase I don't get round to blogging tomorow I've managed to get tickets to T4 on the beach so am hoping to see The Kooks, The Feeling, The Zutons and Embrace. There's lots of others announced, to be announced but so far I think they are the ones I most want to see.
Anyway here's my report from Paolo's forum -
I did manage to get to this gig last night. It was packed out although it was only quite a small venue. I think that most people were there for the last group (they got the largest cheer to start with anyway lol) but they did seem to like Paolo's set(who wouldn't?). I in the 2nd row from the front and right in the middle so got a good view and I did sing along to a few songs although as noone else was I didn't too much as I didn't want to look stupid. Paolo sung (I think, might get a name wrong) Alloway Grove, (one song I can't remember, thought it might have been rewind but not sure now), Million faces (?), New shoes, Loving you, Last request, and Jenny Don't be hasty. He was great as usuall and I think he prob gained lots of new fans.The other two acts were good, although only saw half the 1st as my train was delayed because of vandilsm (we had the police on and the doors were locked so noone could get off!) and the last group weren't really to my taste but they were good. It was very smokey though which is a shame and I noticed how much people talk all of the time, throughout all the performances. Much better at The Bedford where they have to shut up lol The eventfull journey and smoke was made worth it to see Paolo though Oh and the fact there were many good looking men about might have helped too Just a shame they were prob all much older, I think I was prob the youngest there and I think Paolo might even have been the 2nd youngest in the room lol More younger people need to go to these things I feel a bit out of place. Damn being a teenager.

Revision
I don't think I've done enough and with only one week left until my exams start, you could say I'm starting to get nervous, trouble is I just can't seem to get motivated and when I do revise I'm not sure if I'm actually remembering any of it.
We got given our timetables for when our exams are going on last week which includes any revision sessions we're supposed to attend (as they wont let us have proper study leave off) which has confused me rather a lot and I'm not really sure where I'm meant to be and I'm thinking when am I going to get time to eat and where would I go to have y lunch and some things go on to when an exam should start so I'm rather confused and would be much happier if it was a bit clearer, the exams are stressfull enough without the added pressure of knowing where I'm supposed to be before and after. Thankfully after the first couple of days the revision sessions get less so I shall be there less and wont have that problem.
Although technically we'll still be at school for a couple more weeks, it's officially the last proper school day this friday which although I don't always like school and am always moaning that I'd prefer not to be there is still quite a scary prospect. After being at school most of my life, not being at school will prob be a bit weird although I do think I will prob enjoy college as I will be doing sunject that I have chosen rather than ones we are being made to do. There is the fact that I will be leaving alot of my friends behind as most are going to other colleges but in some cases I do think that this may be a good thing as some of my so called friends aren't great friends really and I'm hoping that I will make some new ones as I don't really have any close friends at the moment. There are some that I'd like to keep in contact with though and I do plan on having a leaving book with messgages from whoever wants to write in it.
Aswell as all this school stuff going on at the moment (what with Prom outfit/accesories to be sorted too) I can't help but find other things that I want to be doing like going to/planning trips to gigs/conventions, musical and celeberity football matches. *rollseyes* I'll hopefully have less things to think about once my exams have finished on June 16th, I think.
ps. Not sure if I said but my impersonation wasn't played on the second part of PotterCast's impersonation contest whichalthough I was dissapointed, there were lot's of better ones. :)

These are a few of my favourite things...
I've only just got round to updating you all on my eventful weekend, it started off with me doing a dance exam which although a little bit scary went fine I think and I enjoyed it anyway which is afterall the most important thing. On Sunday, I had to get up at about 7am to get to Milton Keynes at about 9.30ish but by the time we'd actually found the right place to park and where the actual event was taking place it was almost 10am and there was rather a Long queue for the Phelp's twins (aka the Weasley twins) and I was a little concerned that we would not get to meet them before I had to leave especially when I was told that it would be about 2 and a 1/2 hours and considering it was then just gone 10am and I needed to leave by about 12.45/1am that was leaving it a bit late thankfully it didn't take that long and it was our VT numbers that were on the board so we could queue up and meet them. They both seemed friendly, sadly being the shy person that I am I didn't say a lot although my dad asked if they were currently filming and they said they were, he also asked which was which, I wonder how many times they get asked that. Anyways we talked for a bit, I had my photo taken with them and then we went off to meet Afshan Azad, who was very friendly. She wasn't over busy and did have an open queue so she asked me questions about what my favourite character was, what I was looking forward to seeing in the next film and which book was my favourite, unfortunately I had a sort of mind blank and wasn't sure what to say which is annoying as I can usually talk for ages about Harry Potter once you get me started but this time I didn't and kind of said In don't know and sarcastically said that she ofcourse was my favourite character, how could I forget to mention the lovely Neville who is infact my favourite character. After I'd managed to prob make her think I was boring and had my photo taken with her we went off to get some lunch before leaving to drive to Peterborough to get the train to 'Boro. Before that I had got to meet Warwick Davies as he had an open queue also, he was very friendly and I had my photo taken with him. He really is small like Flitwick it's not any camera trickery. I might post some of my photo's on here if I can cut me out easily :P and work out how to do it.
So after a train journey to 'Boro, some tea and getting ready we headed off to the crypt, we got our tickets from the box office and could hear that they had infact already started although I think only just as the first act was being introduced. I have to admit the 1st 3 acts aren't really to my taste but they were all their for the good cause (It was a Brian Clough memorial concert) and I'm sure others did enjoy their sets. I did get the feeling the hall would have been a bit emptier had it not been for Alistair and his band though. He came on about 10.15 and the hall had to be cleared at 11pm so it did feel a bit rushed but he was great none the less, not so much chatting in between but I feel that's only because he was aware of what would be appropriate and this event although I may ofcourse be wrong. I loved the newest song and am looking forward to *hopefully* having their album to listen to somewhen this year. After and during, I did get to talk to lots of people from his site which was lovely as I hadn't seen some of the since York in December and some even longer ago (Hi Gayle and Corinne is you read this, it was nice to speak to you, and hi to anyone else who was there who happens to read my blog :-)).
Once the gig had finished and we'd been 'chucked' out of the venue we went back to the hotel, does sound like I missed out on some fun by not going to a particular hotel first but I had a good time anyway and it was nice to have a chat with some people back at the hotel we were staying at and I didn't want to go to bed too late as I was already shattered, it'd been bit of a busy day, but definitely worth it.
I think I will go to Collectormania 10 at MK if I can and if they have any HP actors there but before that I'm planning on going to a similar event to try and meet Elijah Wood and some people from Lost. Before that though there is that little problem of exams so although tempting I will try not to go to any more gigs between now and the end of them, well apart from maybe going to see Paolo Nutini in the half term, and I'm quite tempted to go and see The Feeling again aswell. *rollseyes* ;-)
I am glad I decided not to stay at Collectormania all day although I haven't heard anything about the Mugglenet podcast yet which I thought might have been put on itunes for us to listen to, hopefully it will be somewhen soon, I would have liked to have gone but i'm hopefully for a leakymug in 2007. Talking of podcasts, I sent in some impersonations of Rita Skeeter, Hermione and Sirius (head in fire moment) to Pottercast for their impersonation contest but it wasn't played in part 1 but it might still be included in part 2 as I did send it in quite late on although it might not be included at all as there was alot of better ones played already in part 2.1. :-D

Now...have I packed everything?
Well I decided and ordered/sorted tickets/travel/hotel, and as I'm extremely organised and decisive I did this about 2 days before I'm actually meant to be going. ;-D I shall hopefully be going to 'Boro via Mitlon Keynes for reasons I think I've prob blogged about several times before. I think it might be a bit of a rushed day and there will prob be an earlyish morning (which does make me wonder why I'm still awake and posting my blog now). I think I've got everything packed/ready although I'm not sure what to wear, whether to wear my black skirt or not and which top to wear there.
Also just a quick mention of my dance exams that I did today, I was a bit nervous but I think they went o.k, don't know how well I did dance wise but I didn't fall over and don't think I did anything too embarressing so I'm happy that I actually did it. :-) Anyway as it is late and I will need to get up earlyish if I'm to get to Milton Keynes in time to meet who I want to (the Harry Potter actors apart from Robert Pattison who I have already met, in Manchestor :P ) I should really go to bed now as I need sleep :-D :-)

Gigs, conventions, and more gigs... Oh and exams
I seem to have a lot of things planner, how much of it I'll actually do is another thing but the fact I've got all these things planned (several of which on the same day, samish time in different places) leaves me a bit confused as to what to do and when. I've mentioned the things concerned beofre so wont go into to too much detail although I will mention than Ian Somerholder (aka Boone in Lost) has cancelled. Also I've not had much detail about the Mugglenet podcast and didn't pre-order talk tickets which makes me think I may well not be able to get any. Also Alistair hasn't announced any other gigs yet... although I'm not really sure what decision this leads me to, I do really want to go and see Alistair. It is something that is familiar, I'm not sure if that makes sense but the whole HP thing is newer, I wouldn't know anyone at that event like I would the people at Alistair's gig and I do feel the need to go away somewhere and see Alistair and everyone again, this has alot to do with the stress I'm beginning to kind of feel for a few reasons, one of which being my pending exams, which of course are gettng my full attention at the moment despite the various other things I'm thinking about at the moment *ahem*.
I have a French oral Wednesday which I'm hoping to do o.k in and I can sort of remember everything but I'm still a bit nervous about it, I also am re-recording my composition for my music GCSE and I'm quite aware I need to be revising for my main exams that start in about 3/4 weeks. Oh and there are various other gigs I'd like to go to, prom accesories to find and buy and other things that I'm currently thinking about... busy, me? Well I suppose you could say that.

PotterCast
Just a quick post to say the second part of the PotterCast call in is up and has my question on it, I don't really like how my voice sounds but hey it's cool that it's on there. If you really have the urge to listen to me (you'll have to skip through to find me, the one that says I'm Jenny, from England, although I suggest you listen to it all if you like HP) you can find it on itunes, go to www.leakynews.com for more info. I'm off out now hopefully as it's the last day of my Easter holidays so might post about that later or might not depending on what time I get home and where I go although I do expect I'll end up playing crazy golf at some seaside resor, not sure it's quite warm enough for a awim yet though, maybe a paddle. ;-P :-)

Mini Dilema
A certain HP fansite have announced they will be doing a live podcast at an event I was planning on going to for a bit before heading off to 'Boro, but I've left it too late to get the cheap train tickets and if this podcast is in the evening it means it's nearly impossible to do both (depending on days/times), this leaves me with even more of a problem as to which I want to go to more. *rollseyes* :-)

This holiday is for revision not fun
Well this is what we were told, in a way, by our headmaster before the holiday started. One week in, I have done some revision, but I think, probably not enough. I went out monday, shopping and decided that the revision could start on tuesday, it did but then thursday came and I went off out to The Bedford to see The Story's. I did want to go to Leeds to see Riccardi but as that would have involved a much longer train journey and staying over I thought that was probably not a good idea. As it happens I had a good time at The Beford, I thought The Story's were great, (I have seen them once or twice before when going there and other places to see other people).
On other subjects, today a Podcast all about Harry Potter (run mainly by Americans from www.leakynews.com / www.pottercast.com) is having a call in show so I downloaded skype and have it all set up. They have one at 3am but they also had one at 6pm. Why then am I waiting for the one in the midde of the night/morning? Simply because they have Chris Rankin on it (who plays Percy Weasley in the HP films). I might not even get through to them but I'm planning on waking up at this strange time to try.
One slightly negative thing to mention, I found out that The Feeling were going to be at the XFM big night out in London next week but... it's over 18's only! Never mind, hopefully I shall get another chance...after seeing them the week before last I do want to see them again live somewhen. :-)
Edit: I got through to the Pottercast call in show and got to talk to Mellisa, John and Sue and Chris (aka Percy) I got up especially at 3am but I think it's been worth it, I don't know when it will be put online for al lto listen but I'll hopefully let you know if anyone wants to listen to me prob sounding like an idiot, didn't say alot apart from Hi, my question and a bit of laughing. Still lot's of fun though even if I was shaking and shy lol, I'm too excited to sleep now. *rollseyes* lol ;-D :-)

April Fools Day
I've had great fun today even though I couldn't think of anything good enough that I could actually do in time but finding out about others has been fun, although one is still saying it is not a joke which is getting slightly worrying although I'm sure it is an aprils fool, I think...
(Another blog to be continued, I will do this one and the other one tomorow hopefully but I seem to remember to do this at some ridiculas time and am too tired to write much *rollseyes* lol)
Edit: I'm back to edit it, well it was an aprils fool but it was also funny, if you're confused then look at www.leakynews.com and scroll down the news for something about arpil fools or a marriage or leakymug. If you don't like HP or have not visited Leaky or Mugglenet I would suggest it's best not to look as it may just confuse you. :-D

Last minute plans
I was rather disappointed when I couldn't get tickets to go and see The Feeling at a local venue but my mum put my name on the waiting list and we waited without much hope as apparently the list was quite long but yesterday (the day of the gig) at about 6 I got a phone call saying that they had two tickets! So, after quickly having a bit of tea and texting someone else to see if they could get here in time, I had to get ready. I decided to wear the same as I wore to the Bedford last week but I did feel a bit self conscious in my skirt and had a bit of a problem finding any black tights that didn't have holes in them or patterns on them and actually fitted which meant I was later than I wanted to be but as it happened The Feeling weren't on until 10.15 and most people seemed to know this as their weren't many people there at first.
Edit: I'm back to edit this, a little bit later than planned but hey... So 2 support acts, both good, Lorraine (the 2nd) the best out of the 2 imo and then it was time for the main act. I'm so pleased I actually managed to get tickets in the end as they were great, sound even better on the cd which is a good sign. Some bands/artists sound worse as they're voices are so manipulated on cd's, some sound the same and some sound even better which I think can be the sign of a great band especially when they already sounded great on the CD. They were on for about 45mins I think, and then it had ended, no encore so went out to text my dad but then Lesley (who I was there with) went off in search of The Feeling and she was gone for a bit so I thought i'd go back in to the place where the gig was held and there she was with Dan the lead singer so I got to meet him, have him sing my half ticket (why do they feel the need to tear my ticket in half, I wasn't sure what else to get signed) and have my photo taken with him which was really cool and then I went off home to try and get some sleep as I had school the next day. :-)

Weekly updates
I've decided to try and do weekly (ish) updates as I rarely get round to blogging during the week and I've almost forgotten today so will just make a quick few points which I will, probably, expand on tomorow.
*Monday went to see Alchemy at The Bedford, lovely place, had a good time - train delayed on way back got home about 1.10am so didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked.
*Was proud of myslef for having the confidence to wear a skirt and a slightly 'un-conventinal' outfit instead of my normal boring jeans. :-)
*Otherwise only school stuff going on this week.
*I did miss out on the oppertunity to see The Feeling perform near me though, as I didn't find out about it until recently (although my mum reckons she told me ages ago lol) so they had sold out and although my name was put on a waiting list thing I think the list already had a few people on it so I'm not holding out much hope that I'll get any for this so will have to wait for another oppertunity which I don't know when that will be.
Edit: Well it's tomorow, and I've come to expand on the things I blogged about yesterday but can't actually remember what else I was going to write.
I'm still trying to decide what to do, after reading the reports of Alistair at Blakey (sp), I do want to go to 'Boro but it's a long way, costs quite a bit and I really want to go and meet the Weasley twins and dress up as Luna to go to Collectormania 9 at Mitlon Keynes. Yes you did read that write, I want to dress up as Luna. I seem to have bcome somewhat of a Luna/Neville shipper recently since I discovered that Neville was one of my favourtie characters and I spent 5 hours queueing in London to be Luna, needless to say I didn't get the part, didn't even get through to the next round but if you remember reading my report at the time you'll know that I thought it was worth it anyway. So anyone, I digress (have I spelt that right.. it sounds like an impressive word and I've been waiting for an oppertunity to use it), for the benefit of anyone not up on the terms used in the Harry Potter fandom, shipping comes from the word relationship, so me leaning towars a Neville/Luna ship means that I think they would be good together, although that does not mean I think they will get together in book 7. On the subject of book 7, I've decided that I would quite like to go to Edinbrugh for the release of the last book and as I found out it is only a 6 hour jounrey which when you think it has taken me 5 hours to get to 'Boro is not much further and they often have things going on there aswell as the place supposedly being a nice place too. Annnnyway back to the Neville/Luna thing, I decided to write a fanfic but I'm taking my ship one step further...I want to dress up in ful Hogwarts uniform (don't yet know where I'm going to get a Hogwarts robe from though) and got to meet matthew Lweis (aka neville) for the second time. The only problem with this plan is, Matthew Lewis,a lthough he was announced as coming on the Collectormania webstie and forum, his parents revealed to Leaky (www.leakynews.com) that he had not yet been approached to attend. The same is true for Devon Murray (aka Seamus Finnigan). I think I will find a hogwarts uniform costume as I'm sure that if not this time, I will find an oppertunity to wear it (don't necessairly have to get a blonde wig and be Luna). I'm not too bothered about seeing Matt again, I would like to meet Devon somewhen but I am hoping that the weasley twins will definately be there, although as they are busy they are only scheduled to be there on Sunday which thinkI mentioned the other day. This is just one of those really annoying things, if it was saturday there would be no problem but it's not, it's sunday. I want to go to 'Boro on sunday, now I have looked into, technically I could do both but it's not exactly an ideal situation and I don't think my dad thinks much of my idea. If I was tyo get there early enough and could get the twins and I would also like to get Boone from lost's autograph within about 2 hours (events start at 10), then I can get lunch and leave at about 1 to drive to Peterborough at about 3 and get the train to 'Boro which should arrive at about 6. I would then have an hour to dump my stuff in a hotel room and wash/change before finding the venue. I've not allowed a time for tea in this plan though, unless I got something no the train, I suppose I could get something hot at lunch and then have a sandwhich or something on the train. Now you see thing would work but it would be a rush and if we got delayed in traffic we could miss out train and not get there. Now Alistair isn't on until about 10 so I have plenty of time to get there but I don't really want to turn up half way through. We could drive to B'ham though which may give me more time... I think I might be spending some time looking at different train journey details. Oh joy!

Why is it that you always find lot's of things you want to do/go to when there is something else you need to be doing?
I'm currently in my final year at school - year 11 ad doing my gcse's, which as the teachers like to keep telling us at every oppertunity, are very important. I have coursework, homework and revision to do, yet I also have lot's of fun things I want to do. I blogged about the Collectormania event that I wanted to go to, well now more people have been announced that I would lik to meet, but they are all scheduled to be only appearing on the sunday, which considering I was tempted to go to 'Boro to see Alistair Griffin is a bit annoying as I just don't think I can do both, then again going to 'Boro would cost alot of money and be quite along journey and when Alistair is only doing a 45 min set, it think perhaps the sensible thing would be to wait for antoehr gig that I can get to more easily. My worry is though, that the next one either wont be for ages or will be during my exams or someother thing that I have already planned to go to.
I was also rather excited to discover that Elijah Wood aka frodo in LOTR, which although I haven't actually watched that, I think he's pretty cool and I would like to go to this Film con to meet him. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that 'Charile' in Lost is announced and as this isn't too far from me and is after my exams, that shouldn't be too difficult to go to.
I'm hoping to be able to go to the Bedford to see Alchemy today which should be good although I've decided to go on the train as it is quicker - means I can leave later - which inturn means I have more time to watch the Harry Potter & Gobelt of fire dvd that has been released today, which being the Potter nerd that I am, makes me quite excited.
Bells about to go so better go, not that I have many other sites to go on as they seem to ban more very few hours. *rollseyes* :-)

What to do...
Decisions, one of those things in life that can make me confused although I in some cases having a decision to make, makes life fun and interesting. I have a prom coming up in the summer and have been thinking that it will be fine, I have awhile yet but I went shopping for some and quickly realised getting/ ordering and altering dresses takes time and that's without the time it takes for me to decide which I want. I have been to several shops and so far have found 2 that I really like. One is turquoisey (not sure if that's even a word) and sort of 'hippy' chick with elegance mixed in and apparently was seen on a 'celebrity' in a different colour...not that, that would influence my decision at all :-P. The other is dark purple and is very elegant and lovely but I just don't know which I prefer. The first suits my eye/skin colouring and the hippiness is probably more me but this is a prom and the lovely deep purple that is so nice is tempting me rather a lot but I just don't know. The problem for me, as well as deciding which I want, is getting one that actually fits, the purple one will have to be ordered in a size 2 (which is a size 0 is American sizing!) but the turquoise one would just need altering even though it is a size 10 which to me makes no sense but... There both quite expensive which is also making me wonder whether I should try and find a cheaper one as it is likely that I'll only wear it once and I'll also probably be the one at the Prom that sits in the corner feeling self conscious and out of place. *rollseyes* I think I really need to have another look around this weekend and decide by next week so I still have time to order the Purple one if I decided it is that one that I want.
On another totally un-reletted subject but another thing involving decisions is whether or not to go to 'Boro town hall to see Alistair Griffin in April. I do want to go but I am not sure whether to wait until he comes a little further south, that's if he does do a gig further south anytime soon. Also I need to find out more information about Collectormania 9 (which I really want to go, the actors who play the Weasley twins are going to be there, and come on, who doesn't love the Weasley twins ;-) Also Robert Pattison is scheduled to be there and even though I have met him already I'm not going to say no to seeing him again ;-P (I am hoping other HP actors will be anounced and I wouldn't object to the lovely Matthew Lewis or Tolga Safer* being there. ;-) I've also got to decide whether to go and see Alchemy and (although I do have awhile before having to) whether to go and see Tabby again although I'm hoping for an easier to get to gig to be announced before the other one happens. I do have a Uni Summer school and hopefully a trip to see Riccardi to look forward to probably but... I do also have these things called exams, GCSE exams tro be exact and they need to be revised for and Coursework needs to be completed/improved ect. I now which is more important so that is what I am going to try and concentrate on. I also need to sort out other aspects of my life such as the amount of time I spend on my computer and the time I go to bed (too late!) I also want some spare time to read more of the J K Rowling (auto) biography (I'm never sure which it is if it's one that's been written by someone else?) I have been reading and to add some more to my fanfic amongst other things. Oh and ofcourse there's the minor fact that the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD comes out on monday so hopefully I will be able to get a copy although I don't know when I will get time to watch it all through with my mum (who hasn't seen it yet, whereas I have seen it 3 times) and to watch the special features. :-)

Myspace
Just a quick post from me (mainly because it's nearly nidnight and I'm tired and would lie to go to bed) to say that I now have my own space. I'm still getting used to the stuff and I also can't seem to add people as friends as when I try and log in it tells me it's wrong and it won't send me my password so I can't work out what to do or who to ask but if anyone wants to add me as a friend that would be cool. :-) It can be found at the normal bit/ secretsinside or mysecretsinside I think, I'm not actualy sure, i'll prob look it up and post it tomorow. :-)
I'll try and come on here and blog tomorow, I have stupid size stories to talk about - how can you have sizes 2 and 0 and why am I prob a 2 in dresses when I'm usually an 8! I do have a busy day tomorow though with homework, more dress shoping prob and practicing for a Gcse music practical on monday which I have to have 3 pieces learnt (I play keyboard).

Busy, Busy, Busy
I seem to have a hundred and one things to do this week and in the coming weeks but I am trying to keep my blog updated (which means usually doing it at school, not always a good idea depending on what I'm writing, nobody knows I have a blog and I don't really want half the people at my school to read it incase I mention them ;-) lol ).
I'd mentioned that I'd had a college interview coming up and I don't think i've mentioned it since so I went to it and I was a bit apprehensive but it was fine, not heard anything yet though, so hope I've been accepted, I'm going to the college's open evening today as I want to look into the subjects I want to do and make sure I'm happy with it all.
I've recently been shopping for a prom dress which I wasn't going to do yet as I thought it would be too early but it seems they are already running out of lots of the nice ones which means I need to hurry up and find one as I found out when I went that even size 8's and too big and some of the size 6's were aswell! I was looking for a deep purple but after seeing the choice I think I might have to change my mind and go with what ever I can find. I'm hopefully going to go to this particular shop again this week with my mum, hopefully I won't get stuck in the dresses or rip them (this nearly happened when I went before...I think I need more practice of putting dresses on and a bigger changing room would be helpful I got in a right muddle the other day *embarrassed* lol.
Aswell as the reasonably o.k things I also have a Gcse Science exam today, music practical on Monday, a application for a uni summer school to fill in asap, science coursework to improve, 12+ pages of French to learn for April, a practice English exam on the 23rd March, and we are supposed to have started revision for our main gcse's. Now I understand what the teachers meant when they warned us Year 11 might be a busy year!
* I was going to go and see either Tabby or Paolo last week but in the end I decided not to but thanks to someone I got a copy of Paolo's cd which is great. There is even a song with my name in it. I/m hoping I will get another chance somewhen to see them both. I'm currently still considering going to see Alchemy but it is on the same day as the harry Potter dvd comes out...when will I get time to watch it lol.

A break down in communication
I was without my computer on Tuesday as it was booked in to go to PC World. I had tried to change the screen resolution as it wasn't all on the screen but itwent blank and we had to ring a helpline to fix it which meant that we had then fixed the other problems we had but the graphics card was not working properly so the icons and everything were huge. It is now fixed which is good but I wasn't pleased when told that I couldn't have the computer back that day. I did manage without it though but I realised just how important my computer and the internet is to me.
On a completely different subject, something that doesn't require the internet, well only to research certain details, is writing my very own fanfiction, which for anyone who doesn't know is when you write your own story using characters and other details from an already written book. Mine is a Harry Potter fanfiction, unsurprisingly ;-), and it features one of my favourite characters - Neville aswell as Luna as it's main characters although I expect it will include most of the others at some point. I decided to write a fanfic about Neville and Luna because I love Neville and I think that him and Luna would make an interesting couple. The HP books are told from Harry's point of view, hence the name, but I decided to write mine in Neville's, I'm trying to keep the story of the book the same but from Neville pov rather than Harry's which means any points that Harry is not with Neville in the actual book I can invent although I may not get all my facts right. I think mine makes most sense if it is fitted along side GOF as I don't think at that point neville as met Luna properly and the stuff at the ministry hasn't happened yet and neither has the graveyard stuff so the tone is reasonably cheery at this point. :-) I'm not really sure where I'm going with it, I started one before but didn't finish it. I started a couple of my own stories when I was younger, about ghosts mainly because they were the sorts of books I read then although now I enjoy reading a different genre and I'm hoping to get further with this than I did any of those that I attempted before. I'm currently reading an autobiography of JK Rowling which is quite interesting and was talking about her childhood home which sounded to be in a lovely rural area, which is what I imagine Neville to live in so I'm hoping to add that detail into my fanfic at some point, but I'm not sure where to put it yet.
On another completely unrelated subject, I went to the Latin dance group again this morning as I have been doing for the last few weeks. It's called a Latin group but I didn't think the waltz was a Latin dance although what do I know? lol, we have also learnt bits of other dances that I did consider Latin dances and I am really enjoying it and I was proud of myself because I did go there by myself at first which for a quiet, shy person like me is an achievement. :-) I'm now considering applying for a place on a summer school at a university, either Oxford or another one that I can't think of at the moment when nearly all of my friends are going back to one that we went to last year for a few days (Winchester), I've not decided for definite but as I have already been there before I thought it would be more beneficial to take the opportunity to experience another university this time but it would mean probably being the only one from my school there which is quite scary considering it would be a little way from home and for a week. I think I have until Monday to decide!

Resolutions renewed
I thought I'd posted al my new years resolutions but I can't find them so I can't have done but I will post a bit of an update to them. There are a few that I have achieved which are -
*Joining a Latin dance group
*Going to lots of gigs and other events (Alchemy, Collectormania, Tabby so far...hopefully/maybe Tabby again somewhen, Paolo and Alchemy again next month and I'm hoping for a chance to see Alistair, Riccardi and The Story's somewhen :-) )
*I sent my college application off (I now have an interview to go to next weeek which I'm a bit nervous about)
I have failed with one though - spending less time on my computer, going to bed earlier and getting up early enough to get to school on time. I really need to start spending more time on school work and revision rather than on the computer and I need more sleep, so this is a end of feb resolution. I have a Science modular biology test on the 8th so I need to start revising a bit for that and I have a english practice test on the 23rd.

I have a Science modular biology test on the 8th so I need to start revising a bit for that and I have a english practice test on the 23rd.

A passing hello
Hello. I've been meaning to post but I've not got round to it, I'm hoping to soon though, as I want to have a look back at the new years resolutions I made, see which I've acheived/failed and which I still can do and which need to be changed or updated. :-) So hopefully I will blog about that (and maybe even an update on my Harry Potter obsession *ahem* I mean interest) soon :-)
ps. I went to see Tabby and The Tsars on Saturday and they rocked. :-) :-D
