I bought The Luxe by Anna Godberson on Sunday, it was AMAZING. I litereally good not put it down, it was that good. The plotline was really interesting, the writing was wonderful, especially the descriptions and the characters...wow! I think Diana Holland was my favourite character over all, I just love her attitude towards everything, and all her funny quirks. She, by far, has the best chapters and the best plotline, and that's not only because it involves Henry Schoonmaker who is THE most charming and suductive character I've ever read, even more so than Jane Austen's Willoughby and can definately kick Edward Cullen's arse. He is BRILLIANT, and for some reason in my mind Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
Ok so that was like a week ago, 'cause the internet decided to be a dick, and now I've finished Rumours so if you haven't read that you might want to look away....
Ok, I actually cannot believe that happened. I knew Elizabeth couldn't just walk off into the sunset with Will, but did that really mean he had to be killed? He could just be put in prison or something...and then face the death penalty...ok maybe not. Or her mother could just refuse to accept Elizabeth's feelings and then Will has to leave but Liz can't follow him. And hey, it's not like she could fake her death to go find him, is it??
And just in case Will's death wasn't depressing enough Henry has to go off and marry Penelope! Alright, yeah he did it to save Di or whatever, but it's not like Penelope's little miss perfect either. C'mon, he must have a TON of stuff on her I mean he was shagging her for months. I refuse to believe that there was no other way out of it, I mean he's Henry Schoonmaker for Christ's sake! Y'know, at the risk of quoting Down With Love he's ladies' man, man's man, man about town. He could have at LEAST told Di when he was at her house. I don't care whether that Snowden bloke was watching or not, surely Di's more important? Grr.
So the ending, made me want to curl up in a ball and cry. Oh Di! Not being able to express her emotions about Henry, and Elizabeth! Even though she's just lost her husband she still wants Di to be happy! I love you guys!!!
Oh, this book was just AMAZING. I'm not bragging about finishing it in three days, but I did that because I couldn't stop. Luckily I'm off school so I spent like ALL day on Tuesday reading it. And I can tell you, I was waiting for some Di/Henry action for like a week!
Cannot wait until I can get my hands on a copy of Envy which comes out over here on the 7th May I think. That's in 77 days in case you're wondering.
Go buy The Luxe and Rumours go buy them now.

Watching Auf Wiedesen, Pet now seeing as my parents are from Preston and Darlington, and one of my good friends is from Manchester, you would have thought I'd understand what they were going on about, wouldn't you?

I have an eyelash stuck in my eye.
Well not actually in my eye.
On the skin bit where eyeliner goes, is that still technically in your eye?
Anyway,
I can't remove said eyelash without poking myself in the eye.
This isn't fun.
On the plus side Russell Howard Live came in the post ^_^

Because the mother made a comment about David Morrissey being in Mamma Mia and the idea kind of spun from there. So instead of Stellan, Colin and Pierce I give you the new cast of Mamma Mia
David Morrissey

because he was in Blackpool and kicked arse. And you know, it's David bloody Morrissey!
George Clooney
again, because it's George Clooney, and because of Brother Where Art Thou? Also, me and the mother have decided he should be on the £20 notes, Toby Stevens should be on a tenner.
and lastly Edward Norton
oh like you wouldn't want to see him singing?
And there you have it, the new cast of Mamma Mia now we just need a new Meryl, Julie, Christine, Dominic and Amanda...

A few memories from year 9
Entitled: Year 9
Laughing and giggles, hugs and jokes
Ryan, and Tat and a million different blokes
Best friends, and no friends and fights, what fun
Lying on the front lawn all lunch in the sun
Teachers and textbooks and subjects you hate
So you just sit at the back, messing round with your mate
French Guy and Norwegians, always a lot of men
I’ll never think about Europe in the same way again
Spain, what a laugh! With Wally and Barry
But even they can’t compare to Retarded Harry
Egg head, and bed creaks, and all those power cuts
Dropping the ball, ‘cause we’re such big klutz
Cleaning the whiteboard every single day
Getting in a Robin Hood reference in another new way
Towers from rulers, and stories written on my skin
And that’s even not the most random it’s been.
Science buddies, English buddies, changing of clothes
Because let’s be honest, in English anything goes
Dying and bastards, girlfriends and bugs
Leaning over desks for extra special hugs
Parties in the form room, always a mess
Being kicked out ‘cause the teacher’s in a stress
Exiled to the canteen, bike sheds, lawn or L2
But there’s never an awful lot to do
Breaking the bench on photo day
Have to find another place to stay
Move into the canteen, grab a table
We’ll stay here for as long as we’re able
Human pac-man when there’s no one about
Finding Larry so Melms won’t have to shout
Record it on your phone, show everyone you know
To laugh and mock and the right freak show
Frank and Craig and Keith and Harry, our boys
Kissing and hiding, dancing and making a lot of noise!
Thrusting on tables, or lying under them with shrubbery
But if you ask me, the leaves were looking a bit rubbery
Got married to Ryan, we’ll last years
So throw some confetti, and grab a few beers
Tat as the priest, with the Bible on her head
Reading about why Joseph’s brothers wanted him dead
So this was year nine, the best year by half
Always something to do, always a new laugh
Three cheers for this year, and the friends I have made
They will always be the memories, so don’t be afraid.

So I decided to come up with my own list: Amy's 28 Sexiest Men.
In no particular order:
1. Harry Lloyd

Because he and Joe Armstrong were the only reason I watched Robin Hood. Despite the fact my mother said he was "too pale, skinny and doesn't have an arse."
2. Gaspard Ulliel

Referred to as "that French bloke from the film with Rhys Ifans" by my mother. But come on, the sunglasses!
3. Dominic Cooper

Because he was Willoughby, and Dakin and started singing ABBA.
4. Ryan Reynolds

Do I need to explain that one?
5. David Tennant

It's David Tennant for Christ's sake!

So me and Claire went to Canterbury today and had some rather nice chips. So nice, in fact, that when we were waiting in the cold at half past four at the train station I was commenting on my need for said chips then. Which led to song about chips making the world go around, which then led to making a song about chips, and then that gave me the idea for Chips! the musical.
"How can you make a musical about chips?" Claire asked.
"Well, I shall inform thee." said I.
The basic plotline is about a boy called Colt who lives in a land where all the people love chips. So Colt decides to go on a chip tour of the kingdom with best buddy Drew.
The Princess Isabella of Tastik thinks the whole chip thing is rather silly, and to prove a point vows never to eat a chip again in her life.
By chance, the two meet and Colt immediatly falls in love. Only he finds out about her hate for chips. How can he love someone who hates chips?!
But luckily, Colt has a brilliant idea! He will make the greatest chip the world has ever known, so good even Isabella will find it delicious.
He then meets a wizard, incidentally, Wizard Chips, who's a tad lonely. Wizard Chips helps Colt by coming up with the recipe for the greatest chip, and he, Colt and Drew go on a quest to find the ingredients.
Add in a couple of songs, a daring adventure and 20 mins on gas mark 7 and you get a magical chip, which Colt gives to Isabella, who is determined not to like it. The chip, however, is magical, and makes Isabella realise her love for Colt. So there's a big wedding and a happily ever after. Yay!
And to prove tonight's boredom, I have four pages of script, two songs, a title page in my log book and four character spider diagrams...

So I finished Pratchett's Mort last night, or rather this morning whichever. And at first I was all happy and excited and "Yay! Ysabell and Mort!!" but then I remembered what happens in about three or four books time and got really depressed. It wasn't fun. But I can be happy in the knowledge that they still have three or four books.
And now I'm making my way through this long list of books I either haven't finished or haven't picked up, first off is a Manga version of Richard III, which just confused me a lot.
Ho hum...
And btw, do Keli and Cutwell get together?

So I was a bit of a retard and completely forgot to revise last night, not such a good idea. Although, tbh, I think it was quite good because I wasn't nervous seeing as I just thought "Screw it, I'm going to fail anyway, what's the point in getting nervous anymore?"
I think the biology was a hell of a lot easier than the chem tbh. Apart from the fact that in one question it was talking about the surface area of men and I thought it said 'cats' so after about five minutes of thinking "why do you care about the surface area of cats?" i read further and found something about a man, only to then think "where the hell did this man come from?! I thought this was about cats!" I was confused.
But other than that, I think I did ok. So fingers crossed!

Year 9's took over the IT room again, wouldn't mind but I needed a damn computer today. Just because they got locked out of L2 doesn't mean they can have L3! L3 is for 10s and 11s only! Still, managed to grab one for me and Claire so I could listen to the Beatles, so all was not lost.
And then came English with Mercutio's Queen Mab speech. Damn hard to say with a damn brace induced lisp. Must take that up with Shakespeare later.
But still, today was surprisingly good for a Monday.

I'm A Coward
I should've asked you when I last saw you at the disco
If you wanted to dance, just one dance with me
I was foolish, I was scared and I let you get away
I'm a coward and I lost you that day
It wouldn't have taken much, just to let you know I care
And it could have changed everything
If I had just swallowed my pride, brushed my hair, put on a smile
Get you to notice me
But I'm a coward and I lost you that day
Oh, I look back now at what an idiot I have been
To let you walk away, and not to have had the courage to say
I think about you every single day
You smile, your laugh, that silly hat you wear
How could I have not told you?
And now I sit alone, wondering if my life could have changed
By asking you to dance, to dance with me
It could have ended so differently
You could be here, with me in your arms
And everything could have been so right
But I am a coward, and I lost you that day
