holidays!!!!!!!!!!!

yay its the holidays :D
am so looking forward to having time to chill out.
i've got a couple of things going on:
- my car cd player is being installed on sunday
- my mum's birthday this tuesday
- peer leader's murder mystery!
- girlie night with some of my mates
- ice-skating with my godsister

on the downside i've got my dissertation to finish. and i need to make a revision plan.
but all in all it should be a wicked two weeks off!

unfortunately i havent made up with kate yet. wednesday was spent with no contact. thursday she txt me but didnt apologise and it was like she didnt understand why i was upset so we argued about it a bit more by txt (i was in london so after an hour of txting her i ended the argument coz i didnt want it to spoil my day). then today i've sent her a long email trying to explain everything. i dont want to lose her but i dont want to let it go knowing it'll just happen again in a couple of weeks.

speaking of london, it was fantabulous! i mean the play was pretty rubbish; two hours with no interval and pretty boring/depressing. but we walked past big ben and the london eye and took lots of pictures and just had a laugh (it was me, cassie and the year 12's). was worth the trip and a couple of us are gonna go back in may half term and go on the london eye!

anyway thats my update for today :) gonna have some quality family time tonight which is cool.
but right now i'm going to go make up my revision/homework plan and update my filofax.
much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

insurance companies

due to the fact me and my mum are going to america, she is currently on the phone to a travel insurance company giving them a history of any illnesses. including the fact i had blood tests a year ago to check my back problems.

i dared her to tell them that god healed me.

although i imagine if she did they would turn around and go 'i'm sorry but our insurance doesnt cover acts of god'

thats my snippet for today :)

get over it!

arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

kate always txts me whenever her and her bf jon (who is also my friend) have problems. tonight i txt him to get him to txt her (she is very over-emotional at the moment due to hormones from taking the pill) and it resulted in him getting mad at her for moaning to me. then them both getting mad at me for interfering. she says she confided in me and i shouldnt have said anything and that she thought she could trust me and didnt ask me to get involved.

i'm now annoyed coz she's always asking for my help, but now he's mad she's blaming me.

and i'm sick of being there for her without any thanks and just getting blamed.

it ended with me saying 'fine. i should've never opened my mouth. i wont ever try to help again.'

and yesterday when she was upset i txt jon and he txt her to calm her down and it all worked out fine, he even said thanks for helping. but today its all my fault.

firstly she doesnt understand how lucky she is to even have a boyfriend. secondly i'm happy to help with big problems but when it comes down to 'oh he didnt txt me back yet' its getting stupid. and thirdly if she thinks she can sort it by herself then why did she come to me?

well she can sort it all out by herself. i'm done. i won't be blamed for this. i dont think its my fault.
i'm just gonna step back and let it cool off.

this probably doesnt make any sense but i'm ranting and releasing my pent-up frustration!
two of my friends (both called anna strangely enough) have been helpful :) one knows both kate and jon. and the other knows neither of them. and both back me up on this so its not just me thinking i'm right.
like anna f said 'that's the curse, isn't it, if it goes well it's all fine, if it doesn't suddenly you're public enemy #1'

well i'm gonna go sleep, escape this stupid thing.

my friends...

i've got a free lesson and have done alot of dissertation work this morning and i remembered that a while ago mr challis did a blog about his friends and i thought i'd do one too. the ones on here and the ones not on here:

Beth
I've known Beth for 10 years. She's completely loopy and has the most ridiculous sense of humour. She'll make up an entire story to back up a point which just makes me laugh more. I can tell her anything because she has the same opinions as me usually and seems to know what i'm feeling before i say it.

Kate
I only met Kate 2 years ago but she's become the person i txt in the middle of the day when i'm bored or when i need someone to tell me i'm right even if i'm not. She can be slightly dramatic about things but then i use my agony aunt skills to calm her down. we balance each other out.

Kat
she's my sister. but not. she's better than a sister because if she was my real sibling i wouldnt care about having stupid fights with her because she would have to love me no matter what.
instead we choose to love each other and when we fight we care more because we dont want to lose each other. she's quiet with those she doesnt know and loud with those she does. and i know exactly how she's feeling because i know all her expressions and know what it means when she's looking out the window or only mutters answers.

Anna
i think Anna is the person who understands me best spiritually. we grew up in similar families and have similar values. she knows when i need prayer or someone to listen and is always there to provide those things. she's pretty weird but in a very good kinda way.

Hannah
i've known Hannah a long time but only recently have we become good friends. she's the friend who i have inside jokes with about being lovers or stupid things like that. i can not see her for weeks and still its the same as it always was.

Cassie
my amazing drama buddy, 2 years together and especially the last 6 months we've grown close. she's the epitome of bubbliness and smiles. she never gets sad and when she does she hides it well. she just has to give me a look and i'm smiling.

Gareth
its difficult to describe Gareth. if you don't know him you wont get it...and i pity you coz you dont know him! he jokes about being gorgeous and sexy and how its obvious that everyone fancies him. underneath that he's the nicest, sweetest, most spiritual guy i know. he listens and prays and really cares about his friends. i could makes sexual jokes with him all day long because i know that behind it all he cares about me. he's probably my perfect guy...aside from the obvious problem that i'm just not attracted to him hehe!

Mike
i don't know mike that well but what i do know i love. he's quiet and reserved but seems to be watching out for other people instead. i've heard previous girlfriends of his complain that he talks to them right up until the start going out. which is why i'm glad that he's too young for me to be concerned about going out with him because it means he'll always talk to me. although he doesnt really need to talk. at new wine i cried my heart out to him one night and instead of trying to help, he just gave me a hug because he was smart enough to know he didnt have the solution.

David
i've said it before and i'll say it again...david and i dont have anything in common really. aside from godzone, space and english lessons. but years of going on holidays together and our families being so close means that we've come to understand each other in a weird, different kind of way. its unique and cant be described really but it works. i think he can be narrow-minded and annoying as hell but at the same time i cant help but want his opinion on things and his prayers because i know that what he says is genuine and truthful and even if i dont like the answer it wont ever be a lie, i'll always get the truth from him.

Peter
again i havent known pete that long but i love that he seems to actually care about what i talk about. i find myself ranting at him about everything and nothing and he'll listen. dont ask me why but he does. its one of those friendships that you can see lasting a long time because its not forced, its just slowly building. and i only have to say one other thing....peter?!?

Luke
part of me wishes i didnt want to put a section about Luke but i do. he's my ex-boyfriend and probably one of my closest friends. even if i dont talk to him for a few weeks we seem to pick up where we left off. he understands me so well and i understand him in the same way. from late night conversations on the beach at spring harvest to stupid txts at the most random times. i think he may have been my first love...or at least the closest to love you can get at 14 hehe. will always have a soft spot for him but am glad i have him as a friend.

PJ
ah my brother. i spent years trying to annoy him and he spent an equal amount of years trying to annoy me. we had argument after argument. but somehow its become a friendship. when i need someone to yell at coz i've had a bad day or i'm tired he's always there to yell back. and then hug me because he knows thats what i need more than anything. he knows when i'm mad and when i'm stressed and when i'm a little bit loopy. as much as i hate to admit it, he's grown up into this amazingly mature guy and i'm proud to say he's my brother.

thats all the people i think you need to know about. i have other friends: matt, jenny, lucy, nicola, tip, charlie, clare, hannah.
but the above ones are the most important because they are the ones who will last through university and stuff.
thats my long long long post about my friends!
got to go to english now!
much love xxx

bop bop dip bop di bop

hehe no idea what that tune is but am in a random mood, you know when you just feel smiley for no apparent reason...other than over-tiredness of course.

spent the afternoon with my family today which was really nice, we went looking at cars...just dreaming but still fun. then played mahjongg (ancient game with tiles, kinda a tradition in our family). its a weird game and takes a while to learn but once you get there its fun and can get kinda competitive.

went to space tonight, didnt do alot but had a laugh which was nice after a long week. we built towers out of cups and then knocked them down. and aiden popped in to say hi and talk about metal bars and spring harvest...random but funny stuff.

only got a single lesson tomorrow afternoon so going to sleep in yay!! and then do some dissertation work unfortunately :( gotta show mr m something when i see him on wednesday!

have planned a murder mystery party for peer leader type people over the easter holidays, should be incredibly fun! i love it when lots of people get dressed up and debate who could have possibly killed the fake character that we apparently all care about so much!

now i'm off to bed to dream amazing dreams about stars and cars and probably guys! hehe pretty random blog...can you tell i'm a wee bit loopy?!
nighty night, dont let the bed bugs bite...you know the rest!!
*mwah!* xxxxxxxxxxx

lift the label

BIG SUCCESS!!!!
it went soooo well! pretty much at full capacity i think, i managed to say all the commentary right, the models looked amazing, everything was great!
i even bought some chocolate, a scarf and then scored a free bag!
am now very very tired after a long day rehearsing and then actual fashion show!
off to bed and have been given tomorrow off godzone thankfully so going to sleep lots. especially since the clocks go forward tonight so lose an hour of sleep :(
much love xxxxx

well....that went ok.

i think.
apart from the fact that maya messed up loads of stuff and made me mess up my lines :( i'm beating myself up about it a little bit to be honest. i guess its a shame coz we did it so well yesterday.
although i think a scene between cassie and i near the end might have saved us. hmm i guess we will see!
i really dont want to perform it tonight...well i do coz i can show family and friends it but i kinda just want to forget it now.

as for peer leaders last night.
for those who dont know:
at new wine i felt god saying he wanted me to do some youth work. to which i was like no! hehe coz i know i can work with kids, youth wasnt in my plan. but i started to pray for something more, to find out what god wanted me to do.bascially this woman called Rachel was talking about living a passionate life for christ so i knelt down with my head bent over to pray and i was suddenly in god's presence. and i had this vision thing of jesus and me laying down my life to him saying whatever he wanted to do with it, then i'd follow him.
surrendering all. at the same time anna came back and started praying with me and as she prayed she had this vision of the barns at christchurch all renovated and youth pouring in them with me in the middle with my hands held high praising god. talk about a crazy holy sign from god about where i should be for my gap year!
and then once i came out of god's presence i couldnt feel anything from my waist down. anna had to help me lie down. i was panicking, it wasnt even like numbness for being on my knees for so long coz i was down for 30 mins or so. i seriously couldnt feel anything! anyway some leaders came and prayed with me and one of them said 'have you had any back, leg or feet problems?' and those who know me know that i had them last year and although i hadnt said anything recently its still been hurting.
and they prayed for healing and i had this warmth go from my waist to my toes and i could feel my legs again and i got up and they felt brand new. no pain at all!!! god healed me and showed me what he wants me to do at least for my gap year!

so after that i've been making plans to do my gap year at christchurch. but at peer leaders last night i kinda admitted to people that i'm really nervous about it because i sorta allow school to distract me from god but next year there wont be anywhere to hide.
i'll have to face up to the fact that i put other things before god and that i dont talk to him as much as i'd like and that i really dont read the bible.
and to be completely honest i'm really scared that i wont measure up.
i know god loves everyone equally and that he forgives me when i mess up but i want to be an amazing christian and most of the time i'm not. and i dont really know how to make myself one.

please dont give me advice on how if i change myself then god will know or that i can do anything through god. i've been to church my whole life, i know the textbook answers, i dont need that. i just need prayers please.

anyway thats my looooooooooooooooooong post for today!
much love xxxxx

prayers

emotional night at peer leaders tonight
drama exam tomorrow
am all tired and mixed up
please pray
going to bed now
will write in full tomorrow
much love xxxxxxx

all good fun

drama rehearsals have been making me very tired but it has meant that i've got to know the year 12's better which is wicked. some are annoying but amy, sean, jon, kolja and ellie are lovely :) means that rehearsals havent been as frustrating with maya...although they're still pretty frustrating!

i saw the boy today...i dont fancy him and i barely see him but i drove past him earlier and then he txt me...why does he have to be so good looking?! and why is it that everything i've found attractive about him in the past is still there?
never mind, just made me smile that we are still mates and can chat normally!

thats all for tonight, am about to go out babysitting...need the money for petrol soon hehe
much love xxxxxx

p.s. oooooh i entered this comic relief sweepstake at school at the last minute, 40 pics, one is hidden under the silver nose and £1 to enter, 20 goes to comic relief and winner gets 20 quid. i won!!! thats sooooo cool!!

meltdown

i started a post earlier where i was ranting about parentals but didnt finish it. mostly coz it wasnt their fault i was stressed out...i mean they contributed to it but didnt really do anything that wrong.

mostly i was very tired and getting stressed about what a long week this week is going to be since any spare time is going to be spent rehearsing for my drama exam on thursday.
i ended up crying ALOT to my mummy, you're never too old to cry to your mummy, she hugged me and talked to me and helped calm me down. i didnt go to cells tonight because i was just stressing myself out more by worrying about what would happen if i did or didnt go. so i made a decision and i stuck to it.

i then spent the evening watching a cheesy feel good chick flick movie and just chilled out. its now 9.45 and i'm going to bed because i just need sleep and if i dont make the decision to go to bed at a resonable hour then i just wont sleep enough and will get more stressed out.

i hope cells went alright peter, let me know if anything came up. i have tuesday morning off so i'm going to hand out W's then and get it sorted if i can.

to be honest i think i let the little things build up, i have a nice life and an amazing family but its the little tiny problems that get to me. things like my parents not being free to celebrate finishing my exam on thursday or my brother not coming to see my play or feeling like i have to be at cells. thankfully all these things have been solved; my mum and i are going to get takeaway after my exam, my brother is coming to see the play once he realised how important it was to me and seeing how andy accepted me saying that i couldnt be at cells has helped me feel less pressured.

so i'm going to bed now :)
much love xxxxxx

blah blah blah

i have no social life lol
well that isnt true...i'm too tired and busy with school work to have a social life!
i went shopping for costumes today, sooooo difficult!
did some work and then watched dancing on ice this evening! sad i know but i'm too tired to do anything else.
and its mothering sunday tomorrow, i'm leading violet group in godzone....bring on the cards and stuff :)

i'm off to bed, will try and post better tomorrow, not alot going on and too tired to write about nothing!
much love xxxxxxxx

red nose day my friends

its 11pm and unfortunately apart from 2 things i have watched all i can of comic relief.
its been crying and laughing the whole way through! in particular the tony blair and catherine tate bit...so good!!
however i think when i watch the rest of it thats being recorded and i see the full bit where dec gets upset i think i'll bawl my eyes out!

top gear of the pops was hilarious and mcfly were on it so i'm happy hehe...easily pleased i am!
interestingly take that didn't sing live, even their lip-syncing was off! sugababes, girls aloud, travis and supergrass did. and i was surprised to see mr richard hammond playing very well on the bass, james may was on keyboard (he'd obviously been classically trained) and clarkson on drums (you could see him mouthing the counts)...but hammond was playing very well, he even did a little solo at the end that impressed me, i think you would be impressed too david so i hope you saw it!

anyway i am now off to bed. i handed in my portfolio by the way!! yey!!
tomorrow i'm going costume shopping and also looking at cd players for my car :)
night everyone and much love xxxxx

lunch break

my amazing nanny just made me lunch so i thought i'd blog while i eat :)
i've written all my portfolio! :D 3062 words, just got to stick it all in and decorate it. havent written my evaluation but since we can't write that until after performing it to a class on tuesday its not a big deal.

we've changed around the order of our play so hopefully we can get it right. lighting is all sorted, cassie and i have a rehearsal after school and we're buying costumes at the weekend. its all coming together!

oooooh and its red nose day today! cannot wait! this is such a good day; i get to dress up in silly clothes, spray my hair red, eat cakes and raise money for charity?!? thats brilliant :D
infact there's a high chance i will write another blog tonight as i watch red nose day, just coz i can!

much love xxxxxxxxxx

brain dead

i thought my theatre portfolio was due next thursday. but no, its due this friday. i only found this our yesterday which gave me 3 days to do it instead of 9. i'd started scribbling notes but not even close to starting on the 3000 words its supposed to be!

anyway so i've spent almost the entire day so far and all last night working on this portfolio (its like coursework). and we were supposed to have a rehearsal this afternoon but cassie couldn't make it coz she has an interview and instead of going to school and waste an hour on a rehearsal that would get nowhere because maya wouldnt understand anything, i decided to not go either and txt one of my teachers to explain. she then called me because apparently our other teacher is fuming over the fact we havent gone. we can rehearse friday after school!

i'd much rather get my coursework done in time to be honest.
i dont want to be in trouble with her, its just that i have so much to do and so little time. and we wouldn't get alot done.
maya apparently turned up and everything but we have no way to contact her to let her know we weren't going which is why i txt laura (our teacher).

anyway, that probably didn't make alot of sense coz i'm ranting.
summary: sarah needed to work not waste time at rehearsal. teacher mad that sarah and cassie both not at rehearsal. sarah very stressed out.

i'm now off to work my butt off and write about 1000 words
much love xxxxxxxxxxxx

everything and nothing

needless to say i am still on a high from my results. but more than that i've had an awesome, if tiring, weekend.
on saturday i travelled to london where i window shopped with my drama friends and then went to see equus. yes the one with daniel radcliffe naked, he was an amazing actor, although we were all of the opinion that he wasn't as 'impressive' as we imagined, if you get what i mean hehe.

then cassie and i rushed back along regent street and oxford street (longer than you'd think) to try and get on the coach home asap since i was supposed to be at a choreography practice for the lift the label fashion show at 7pm. after a long trip and getting the bus home and grabbing 2 minutes to eat some food, i got to the practice at 8.30pm. stayed until 9.15 when i then had to go put the godzone kids to bed coz they were having a sleepover.
we of course did not throw them a midnight feast because there is a rule saying we can't and the adults are very insistant on this rule and there is no way in the world we would disobey them.....but hypothetically if we had i would tell you that the midnight feast was awesome!

i got about 2 hours sleep coz i couldn't get comfortable and it was sooooo cold. then i got up to have breakfast with the kids and pack their bags and play silly games with them. then we took them over for godzone (i was in charge of my small group this week too). luckily we didnt have to organize small group time coz the kids went into communion with their parents.

then my family and the challis' came back to our house to have pizza and watch the england rugby match (such a good game!). then at 5.45 i was back at church to rehearse for space together and set up a prayer zone.
the plan was for me, beth, pj and tom to do a drama where tom and pj burst into the room and dragged beth and myself out for being christians since the theme of the evening was the persecuted church.
however there were some non-church kids who turned up for the evening. i knew a couple of them from school and as much as i thought it was awesome they were interested, unfortunately prayer and the persecuted church wasn't exactly a light topic for your first taste of church.
i was very nervous about doing the drama because i didn't know how they would react but i just constantly was praying 'Lord whatever is in your plan' and it went really well. they didnt react badly, one of them even said 'was that real?'. once we got onto the prayer stuff they did leave but i trusted God with the drama and it went well :) i learnt a big lesson in trusting Him.

so yeah it was a long weekend. even pete harvey was like 'where's normal bubbly sarah? i want her back!' coz by sunday evening i was so out of it.
i sympathize for those who did the godzone party coz that took alot of energy. i wish i could've been there but i had to go see the play for theatre studies and like i've said before, it takes a different kind of energy to travel and then sit through a 3 hour play than it does to entertain kids. not any more energy or any less, just means everyone is very tired.

had a good day at school though, lots of drama practice! andrea (my drama teacher) said last week i had the patience of a saint because cassie wasnt there and i was left with just maya- a girl in my class who has problems with spacial awareness and also very blocked up ears. i feel bad for her coz she tries but she's rubbish at drama. it'd be ok if she was just a bad actress but she messes up lines and forgets movement and cues and so brings down me and cassie too. normally cassie and i can help each other get through the lessons coz we know each other so well and can sense when the other person is getting annoyed or whatever. but without cassie there, it was so difficult. i sent cassie a load of txts saying 'i hate you for leaving me' hehe.

got a bit of a lie-in tomorrow but i feel bad coz my brother's just told me he has to be at school for 6.30 tomorrow for rowing training (he's got a regatta on thursday which i think is a very important race lol). so i get an extra 4 hours sleep...i feel very bad :(

alrighty so this was a very very long post but i needed to let out everything that happened last weekend.
much love xxxxxxxx

p.s. my theatre practical exam is a week on thursday...we aren't ready and i'm terrified!!!

sooooo tired

its been a very long weekend
i'm off to bed
will write about it all tomorrow
much love xxxx

summer days drifting away...

its a nice sunny day :) bit of a chilly breeze along with it but still...
i had no lessons today so doing a bit of english work this afternoon after going shopping this morning.
i'm not in a working frame of mind but i know i need to do it. i don't want it hanging over me when the easter holidays come around.

so i've put on some summery tunes and i'm chilling out in my room and now i'm going to go and do some work instead of wasting time by writing on my blog.

can you tell i'm really wasting time on here?

hehehe really am going now

post- exam results

english language resit- so i wanted a D but got an E so thats alright, i'm happy.

theatre studies resit- again i wanted a D....and i got a D!

psychology resit number one- i thought i failed this one but i got an E, i'm happy with that.

psychology resit number two- i wanted a D or above and i got a C so thats very good.

english language a2 editorial writing- i said 'if i get A-C which is unlikely then i definitely won't retake. if i get a D i'd consider not retaking but it depends on the actual mark. and anything below a D then i'll retake in june'
well people be prepared to be as shocked as i was.....i got an A! 83 marks out of 90! hahahahaha i'm sooooooo pleased!! :) :) :) :) :)

today is a better day than i expected! how i got an A i do not know but never mind, coz i got it and i'm very happy!
i'm off to meet tom (a boy i look after once a week) and then this evening my family are celebrating!

hope everyone else got what they want! much love xxxxxxxxxx

wanna know more about me?

one of the people who reads my blog (one of the few) is david. our families are incredibly close but i think david and i would be the first to admit we dont have alot in common.
however these blogs is one of those things and as one of the top-commenters on his blog i got a little description:


sarah
whilst people like peter write on the internet because they have things they want to say, sarah is different. she has no purpose, no great goal with her blog. she just has a strangely addictive and loving personality, and the desire to rant. she'll often rant about nothing at all, but it doesn't matter, because you just can't help but care and enjoy the insights into her life. that's all there is to it; no second blog or unique features, just a well written blog about a friendly person.


you should all know this made me cry.
seriously.
i cried. it was very very sweet and managed to depict me perfectly.
so thankyou david :)
maybe one day soon when i have nothing to blog about i'll write about my friends too (including the ones on here)

anyway i'm off to a drama practice
much love xxxxx

pre- exam results

exam results come out tomorrow and thought you'd want to hear my thoughts on them before and then after i get them!

english language resit- i think i did alright on this one, if i get a D my overall grade should be a C so i'd be happy with that.

theatre studies resit- again i think i did better in this one than last year, and if i get a D my overall grade will be a C so that'd be good.

psychology resit number one- i think i did very badly in this one, i don't think i did better than last year unfortunately so if i did i would be pleasantly surprised.

psychology resit number two- i don't want to say i did good but it turn out that i didnt, but i think i did better in this one...possibly alot better. a D or above i'd be very happy with.

english language a2 editorial writing- i can always retake this in june so i'm less worried about it, however it'd be nice not to have to retake it and to have the revision lessons on it available to work on something else. if i get A-C which is unlikely then i definitely won't retake. if i get a D i'd consider not retaking but it depends on the actual mark. and anything below a D then i'll retake in june.


i worked sooooo hard on my resits and i actually worked pretty hard on my a2 exam so i really pray that it shows in my results but after last summer's results (DDEE) and how upset i was then, i'm trying not to expect too much. i didnt work very hard running up to last june's exams but i put lots of work in this time so we'll have to see if it shows.
please pray that my hard work pays off!

much love xxxxxxx

forward motion

wow oh wow! footloose was amazing :) it was the finale night so it was extra fantastic. hannah and i were flirting with one of the stage hands during the break and almost got ourselves backstage but then the performance started again so we had to go.

cells last night wasnt bad actually. andy came in and i was a bit worried but it went ok, we took the mickey out of him a bit but he handled it well. it was almost initiation into our cell.

i've got theatre studies this morning and cassie isn't here so its gonna suck. well todays lesson might be alright coz laura our teacher is lovely but tuesday and thursdays lessons are gonna be horrible.

never mind, better go finish getting ready for school xxxxxxxxxx

i'm free!!

i just went shopping in oxford with my parents and oh my gosh my dad suprised me by letting me drive his car home!!! its a volvo c70 i think and apparently he copied my license without telling me and put me as a names driver on his car!! the acceleration and horsepower is crazy!! i swear it was almost paradise! the feeling it gave me was soooo cool, such power, i can't stand still now! (although when i first started i stalled about 3 times, the clutch is so different, it was like learning to drive all over again! and i felt like everyone was watching, somebody's eyes are always watching though.) but a piece of advice: once you drive up a mountain you can't back down...

i'm leading violet group in godzone tomorrow, the team's dedication is amazing, i promise that on any sunday there we'll be, raising our voices in harmony.
and tonight i am off to see footloose! i mean i've been working so hard that i am looking forward to cutting loose, footloose! i'm going with hannah, picking her up in an hour, tell you what, that girl gets around!

anyway i'm off, see y'all soon :) xxxxxxxxx

footloose...

i realised thanks to david that some people may not have heard of footloose (i'm trying to contain my utter dispair at these people)
i shall explain what its about:

a high school guy called Ren and his mother live in chicago but after his father leaves them, they must move to a small town called Bomont. in this town they are a small community, after 5 years ago there was a group of teenagers who drove to a dance club in a nearby town. their car crashed on the way back, they all died. to stop it from happening again the reverend of bomont (and father of one of the victims) bans dancing of any kind in the town.

Ren loves to dance and of course tries to bring dance back to the town, this also involves falling in love with the reverends daughter Ariel. they manage to persuade the town to change the law and helps the town move on.

i realise this sounds pretty cheesy but it involves some amazing songs, funny dialogue and fantastic dancing!! one of the songs is where 'holding out for a hero' (shrek 2) originally came from. another amazing song is 'Almost Paradise' which is the song i'm going to have as the first dance at my wedding reception (i know i need a fiance for a wedding but thats a minor detail!)

tomorrow's blog will include song titles and lyrics :)
much love xxxxxxxxx

my way or the highway...
