New Born

He saw me coming down the road and at once his face lit up. His foot stopped tapping to the beat of Radiohead that was coming from his earphones and suddenly became more interested in making sure his hair looked OK. I grinned at his vanity and made my short legs carry my rather squat figure closer to him, even though my blisters were making my feet burn and itch. My hair was flustered and getting in my eyes, my cheeks red and my back acing with the weight of my books but I didn't care because I was with him, getting closer and closer. His blond hair flopping slightly over his eyes, his huge rucksack on the ground next to his bulging art folder full of masterpieces and the sports bag holding his hockey stick. I could already remember his smell, the way my heart missed a beat every time he touched me. The way he stroked my hand with his thumb, put my hair behind my ear, going out of his way just to hug me. He looked exhausted after his long day at school, dark circles starting to form underneath his bright blue eyes, but he was still beautiful. He was beyond hot, in my eyes he was perfection. High cheek bones of a grown man, but filled with pure innocence and full lips that were soft and gentle at the touch. I reached out my hand to him and was about to take it but I suddenly remembered where I was sitting and who I was. In a crowded maths class. Single. With my sexist pig of a teacher yelling at me. Yay.

Today, what I was thinking when I should have been doing Boxplots, or whatever they were...

My events after school were not as magical as I hoped they would be. I bought these shoes from Primark, the new issue of Vogue and a Starbucks hot chocolate. It was extremely strong and now I feel a little sick. Great!

15 Steps

I have decided to turn my life around this year. Well, I say that every year but, this year is going to be different. Here is what I am going to do to make me into a better person.

1. Don't say 'fabulous' as often. It makes me sound repetitive and uninspired.
2. Make sure my lips don't spread over my teeth when I smile. It makes me look like I have had botox or I am wearing too much lippy.
3. Do more productive activities on week nights. For example, not looking on bebo profiles of people I don't know and watching Friends re-runs on E4. I have seen them all before.
4. Do more productive things on week ends. Like not going to see films I have already seen three times and walking around All Saints for half an hour. I can't afford it!
5. Spend my money on better things. Like intelligent novels or school books or classical music. Not endless copies of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.
6. Save my money better so I don't have another incident of running out of credit in Starbucks.
7. Only go to Starbucks no more than twice a month. It's too expensive and not good for my figure.
8. Work out at least four times a week for at least half an hour each time so I can go back to my old dress size.
9. Eat more healthily by eating less salsa on my wrap at lunch and not going to Starbucks. For the same reasons as above.
10. Persuade my mum to get a French tutor so I have a chance at passing my exam. My French teacher sucks so badly.
11. Don't get addicted to Internet browsing and shopping. It will make my chances of debt in later life a lot more likely.
12. Stop the Primark addiction now. Quality of clothes in my wardrobe is essential.
13. Get a new wardrobe. How am I supposed to put everything I wear in two shelves and one rail?
14. Be friendlier to people I talk to face to face. It is not J R's fault if she wants to have brown hair and ginger eyebrows.
15. Prove to my chemistry crush that I am clever, mature and sophisticated. And that I understand the rules of rugby. Well, that might be pushing it a little!

New Years Eve Celebrations

Well, it's official. 2009 is here! Last night I was at my parent's friends house where there was like fifty people crammed into one room for the countdown. We were the last to leave and we got home at 3:30. I woke up this morning with my hair sticking up and a fuzzy brain as I tried to remember what happened last night. I think I had one too many glasses of Baileys!

And Whatever Lies Ahead

• Exams at school. Exams for keyboard. Exams for oboe. Exams for dancing. Exams for drama. Why do I bother?
• The return of Robin Hood to BBC1 for all us Brits. Jonas Armstrong!
• The extension to my shopping centre being opened and a whole new centre being opened as well. It will have Zara and Mango!
• Having to play in the huge theatre for my concert band, twice. I'm not nervous...
• Confessions of a Shopoholic, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and New Moon coming out in cinemas. Excited or what?

And if you can suggest anymore, I guess I have a fabulous year ahead of me! Well, that's number 1 broken already! =)

If I haven't said it already to you, Happy New Year and have a fabu....amazing year! All the best for '09!

'15 Steps' is a song by Radiohead from their alum 'In Rainbows'. It is featured in the Twilight movie and plays in the credits. Watch the rather rubbish video here.
