Their words; mostly noises, ghosts with just voices...your words in my memory are like music to me.

Well howdy stranger.

There's been a distinctive lack of blogging for what seems like an eternity and I can only put it down to my strangely chaotic life at the minute.

It's been absolutely hectic. When I'm not thinking about ideas for Art, I'm thinking about the formal and why I haven't yet got a dress. This stress overload motivated me to go out today in an attempt to actually find a dress that is slightly better than "just alright."

Luck must have been on my side because I managed to find two gorge dresses that I really liked. Although they weren't exactly bargains, I sort of felt that they were the best I was going to find plus trying them all made me feel all princessy and feminine. Ultimately, I was torn between the two dresses: one was red, with pretty beading on the corset part and some intricate beading on the skirt and it cost 130 pounds. The other was much more expensive( 225 pounds- eeeek), but it was of a really beautiful greeny colour, with gorgeous detail on the top and bottom and it was really unusual.

I really hadn't intended on spending that much, but since I love it so much, I'm just going to wear it to both the L6th formal and the U6th one. That is, if I buy it. It ended up they didn't have the greeny one( the one I loved the most) in my exact size, so they're ringing me on Monday to inform me of whether or not they'll be able to order it in. Let's hope so.

I'm really looking forward to the formal now that I think about it. We've been talking about it in school non-stop. I suppose it's quite understandable that we'd be so excited. I mean, how often do you travel by limo in a beautiful dress and have your hair done all fancy?

Anyway, formal stuff aside- what have I been up to I hear you cry? Well, since it's 2007 and all that, caters and I have decided to do this do-one-new-thing per month type thing, which should be pretty exciting. The first thing we're gonna do is bake a a cake in the shape of a woman names Susanna. Totally normal thing to do.

We're also really in demand in school at the minute. Tbh it's our own fault. We can never bring ourselves to say "no" so we just agree to do all these jobs that we don't really want to do. Well, there's also the fact that we think if we do other jobs around school, we can continue procrastinating art. We are primary examples of how being a waster and a geek are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, so we are now, by force, members of the Community Service. We are basically in charge of making the community service notice boards look artistic, which, let's be honest, isn't particularly challenging as anything would look better than what's already there i.e. a mess.

Not only do we have to do this, we have also stupidly agreed to make some sort of display that says "welcome" in eight different languages for open night. Woopwoop.

Something has come to my attention: the fact that I do no exercise. At all. I actually don't really think about it that much, but I suppose it's really bad for you, so I'm going to try to do at least half an hour a day now. I know I always set unrealistic goals like this, but I'm going to try superly hard this time.

I'm going to go now. I think I'll go to bed early tonight. I'm fed up of going to bed at like 12 every night, then getting up again about 7 and having not actually slept properly because of the flippin wind. Grrr.


Love to all.
