I think I'm feeling a little sad today. Or maybe more just fed up. Yes I think thats it. Do you ever feel like there is no one like you in the entire world? Went out to the Glasshouse last night. It was really good to see everyone. I really need to leave Norwich. Can't wait til Egypt and America. I think I'm gonna go for a walk now. Sorry bout the dullness.

Needles and wonderful weather

Ooooh I had my injection today. It was for Hepatitas A and typhoid or dipthoid or diploid or diptherior or something like that. Don't ask me, I just stick my arm out and am injected. It did smell of lemons though. On second thoughts I think diploid is something from genetics so rule that one out. There's probably not a vaccination for diploids nor would you want one. Anyway, I also have to have a medical form filled in by the doctors and do you know how long it's gonna take them? Six to eight weeks! To fill in one A4 sheet of tick boxes!! And they're charging me!!! I leave in nine weeks so that really is cutting it quite fine even for me. I am so done with doctors. No offense to all you good doctors out there but the rest of you SUCK! Hmmm have I already ranted about doctors here before? I'm thinking its more than likely. Moving on...

I would just like to say how much I am LOVING this weather! I'd forgotten what sunshine was and I feel happier than I have in ages. I know doctors would say "Oh dear you have Seasonal Affected Disorder" but I think everyone is affected by the weather. It's just basic logic. Sun and brightness makes you happy, doom and gloom (ie typical English weather) makes you sad. Accept if you're Tessa in which case you love the doom and gloom :) Any please God could you keep the weather how it is for just a little while longer? Thankyou.

Nutters in suits, Amy+Josh, tragic Egypt times and a German

Another uneventful weekend passes by. Lifeguarding was boring, everyone can swim too well. Although I did have a weird staring competition with some high up manager guy in a suit. He came strolling into my swimming pool, where I am in charge, and started moaning something about keeping all the doors shut. I asked which doors because there weren't any open doors in the pool. He vaguely waved his arms around which I took to mean the french doors around one of the walls. Bizzarrely they were all closed though. So I just said "Ok..." in a kind of 'you weird little man' type voice. But then he just stood there looking at me like he was waiting for me to do something. As I wasn't entirely sure how to close closed door so I just stared back at him. I'm really bad when people stare at me because I get really competitive. I think thats one of the many reasons why alot of my teachers didn't like me at school. But anyway, after a little while he just sorta nodded and strolled out again. Idiot.

Went out with Abi (see I've mentioned you, love) Amy, Josh and some of their friends on Saturday night which was nice. I can't really disclose what we were talking about but I will say this. Amy and Josh, you guys are awesome! It is so great to go out with interesting people who don't just say the 'right' thing. (Abi, you're great too x x x) Unfortunately, due to the clocks going somewhere (forwards, backwards, I'm never quite sure) and that I had to be a church at 9 this morning, me and Abs didn't stay out too late. Oh what a good girl I am. I was still really tired this morning, though amazingly quite on time. I even managed to arrange some flowers, which had spent the night hidden in the bath because I was scared I was gonna kick the vase over in my room, very badly in a nasty vase for mother's day.

Oh man, wanna hear something tragic? When me and Joy go to Egypt we have to get the train at 10pm Sunday evening even though our flight isn't til midday Monday morning. How annoying is that!?

Right, I must be off. Gotta play taboo with a German.

How do you know?

Ok so here's a question. How do you know if it's God shutting doors or the devil making life difficult? For example...I am having so many problems with the Camp America people (ie they seem to be the most unorganised and inefficient company EVER, as am I...though I'm not technically a company...) but does that mean its not really what I should be doing OR does it mean that this really IS what I should be doing? When you meet obsticles along the way how do you know whether to keep battling on against the opposition or whether to take a hint and change direction? Hmmm. Up until now I've often (whether consciously or not) just thought that if something doesn't seem to happen perfectly smoothly then it 'must be a sign from God' that this is the wrong thing. But, sorting out Camp America must be the unsmoothest, pain in the arse thing I've ever tried to do. I don't think means that I shouldn't do it though. Do you?

I watched the new Harry Potter film last night. Although the books are inspired I have to say the films are just slightly lacking in the acting department. Most of the minor characters are fantastic, its the main charcters that are a problem. Harry actually cannot act. I reckon its a hard part for play but he does do something wierd with his mouth. In fact, the main problem in the film are about mouths. Hermione does a really weird thing with her mouth, almost like shes trying really hard not to cry the whole time crossed with a wide mouthed frog. You must watch the interview with her and some of the others as its much more obvious there. Truly hilarious. Oh now I'm feeling guilty. I'm sure you're both lovely people.

Piano exam is looming once again, oh what fun that will be.

Just to let people know, I have finally figured out how to set it so anyone can comment not just registered people. It was really simple, just like me.

Grrrr to Camp America

Agh I am currently highly annoyed at Camp America. First they managed to take triple the ammount I was supposed to pay out of my account, very kind of them. Lloyds was not too happy with me. Then they refunded me all of it after I phoned them up and had a go at them. So then I still had to pay what I was originally trying to pay. So on March 10th I finally managed to pay them and the money went out of my account. We are now at 21st March and they're stil denying any knowlege that I have paid them. Its on my statement and everything so I know its gone out. They just sent me a ridiculas email asking for a receipt to prove that i have paid. An if Camp America haven't sent me a receipt then I haven't paid. The whole point is that Camp America are denying that I have paid so obviously they havent sent me a receipt. Grrrr. I'll send them my bank statement but everything just takes forever in that place. Its taken them 10 days to reply to an email. Just think what its gonna be like with a letter! In every single stage of my application there have be problems like this. Its so annoying. I am annoyed.

On a lighter more bizzarre note I've started doing weird things in my sleep again. For those of you who don't know the list of past strangeness... I went through a stage of always opening my curtains in my sleep. I move stuff around in my room. (The most epic being when I moved a huge stuffed cow across my room so it was right next to my bed. When I woke up I had this huge cow's arse in my face. Not the most relaxing way to wake up I can tell you.) I've sleep walked, talked, sang, you name it I've probably done it. Obviously I'm mainly relying on the word of other people due to the fact that I'm asleep. Also I think its much more plausable that I move my cow than one of my sisters or the infamous cow moving fairies. Well this is a new developement. I woke up this morning wearing completely different clothes to what I went to bed in. I have absolutely no memory of getting change in the middle of the night. Oh I am a freak. Cool.

I'm so clever, apparently. Never really understood IQ stuff.

Hehe, made me laugh, oh I have too much free time. No actually I just don't go to bed til I'm ridiculously tired. Idiot.

Ah another fine day at Oasis. I was really praying that nobody would decided to drown today as I'm not supposed to go swimming til my back's healed properly. Bit stupid for a lifeguard really, I do admit. But at the end of the day if someone did decide that, yes today they would like to drown for abit, my back would probably be the last thing on my mind. Fortunately I was not required to act the hero today. Although a two year old in one of those yellow inflatable sit-in rings did get a little over excited and took a head first dive out of it at the deep end, in a desperate attempt to hit the bottom. She nearly made it as well but her grandparents noticed when she was halfway down. She surfaced looking highly annoyed that her adventure to the swimming pool floor had been cut short. Poor thing.

Hmmm its been twenty past seven for quite a few days now.....maybe its time for some new batteries....

Oh and by the way everyone, you don't have to say you like my tattoo. Its not like I'll be offended :)

Scarred for life!

Well now I have done the dirty deed of telling the parents I can post on here. I got my tattoo yesterday!!!


















It was so much more painful than i thought it would be. Took two and a half hours and it felt like my skin was being chistled off! Well, only the outline. The shading was fine, quite relaxing actually, but the colour hurt too. Plus there was alot of detail over my spine. Anyway, mum's not overly impressed but all in all I think she took it rather well. Says its shallow and silly to do something so permenant which was quite restrained for her! Anyway, I so pleased with it! Alothough it'll be nice when its healed so i can sleep on my back again...

Hmmm what has happened in the last few days? Not much really. Me and Heidi had a joyous day at the beach on Sunday where I excessively used my new camera.


I was feeling pretty tragic on Sunday morning but fortunately I think everything is fine now. Do you know whats worse than feeling awful because something awful has happened? Feeling awful for no reason. Or for no really valid reason.

Oh yes and I am now writing this from the comfort of my own bedroom! I got bored with my video camera so I sold it to Mum and Dad and got a laptop instead. Genious really. I wonder how long it'll be before I get bored of this and by a new keyboard. Hmmm thats slightly out of my price range though.

I would just like to tell people also how wonderful porridge is. Porridge is wonderful. I'm so shocked that I've only just discovered this. So there you go, a little handy hint to you all. Also green tea to wonderful but I'm sure you already know that. Green tea and porridge, a recipe for success. And that is all for today I think. Byesy bye.

My birthday

I would just like to share with you my birthday cake.

They want me!!!

Last night while I was at Homegroup I got a call from a guy in America asking if I would like to come at work at his camp over the summer! It sounds so unbelievably perfectly amazing! My main role will be a camp counsellor but I will also be a fill in lifeguard which is exactly what I wanted! Its in New Jersey and is run by the Salvation Army. A couple of years ago that would have put be off, but I have since learnt that there is much more to the salvation army than rules and uniform. Its 400 acres with a lake and log cabins (I totally was wishing for log cabins!) I think the guy I talked to said there were six different week long camps. First one is a music camp, second is a survival type camp, then a sports camp and I can't remember the others. Something christiany I think. Halfway through we have a week long break were all the staff go travelling around abit together which sounded awesome. Also the camp directors have paid for us all to go to this incredible theme park! Because my lifeguard certificate is only a national one I have to go a week early to do the American Red Cross thingy or something like that. But they pay for it all and then I'm covered for another three years worldwide! It finishes on the 24th August and my visa lets me travel around til October. I think that about all. Hehe I'm so excited!

Lent already?

Hmmmm just realised that it's the beginning of Lent already. Well, passed the beginning now. I'm sure God won't mind if I'm a few days late in giving something up.

Nothing too interesting here...

I'm just letting everyone know that I have been officially accepted onto Camp America and my application is currently being circulated around all the different summer camps all over America! Now all I have to do is wait and see if anyone wants me...I hope they do.

My birthday party on Saturday and I'm going to find my costume today hopefully. Ah I'm so excited! I'm an...Actually I can't tell you. Well I'll post some pictures up so you can all see for yourselves.

I'm very impressed by the sky today as well. Nice and blue but with a few clouds. The sky is my more interesting with clouds. It would be nice if it was windier though.

Lastly, yet again my exam is drawing nearer. Not sure if I could take failing again. Well I could, obviously, but I'd rather not, again obviously. Agh what a ridiculous sentence. Well I can't afford to fail it again. Far too expensive. Anyway, scales as per usual, are what I need to focus on.

Oh and one last thing. I hate Sainsburys.
