Albums of 2009 (although I still love most of them now)

Got really excited earlier when a letter from UCAS came, but it was just a confirmation of me sending off my UCAS. Which I think is totally pointless >;/ I don't particularly want to know about something I did myself...
Never mind like; I really wanted a university saying 'yes' after like 2 days though. xP not going to happen though.

How is your UCAS Xanthe by the way?


Mhm, one thing that really annoys me about exams though is that I barely see my dad at all during them. My mum insists upon me staying at her house for the exams. Makes sense as Hendredenny is closer to school, and its best to keep all my revision in one place, but I just feel bad for my dad like :/

Also, I can put up with my dad for much longer than my mum. She's alright but I just need her to shut up sometimes! And she doesn't :|


Anyway, Rob's blog said express your favourite albums of 2009. So yeah, I had a few:

- Day & Age! I was obsessed with this Killers' album more than any other album they've made although I've kind of levelled out now. My favourite song is A Dustland Fairytale =]

- Folie à Deux. Before this album I only had limited love of Fall Out Boy. I had heard one or two of their songs. I really got into this album and listened to it constantly last year. So yeah, t'is good :) I have no real favourite on this album because I've been obsessed with most of the songs at one time or another.

- Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Early in 2009 I was amazed by Coldplay, and I got into this album. And then I got into the EP they released next.

- Prospekt's March. Listen to Life in Technicolour II. Its awesome =]

- Everything in Transit. Not a big fan as much now, but I did listen to this album by Jack's mannequin looads. I like the cover to this one =] Is pretty

- The Fame. Yeah, I am kind of ashamed to admit it now, but Lady Gaga's first album I listened to many many times. I don't like it at all any more but there you go - it happens.

- Only By The Night. I love all the songs on this KOL album :) It's been on my mp3s since like forever so yeah, all them songs are good.

- Slipway Fires. Now I realise I can't really put all the albums I've loved in 2009; there were looads. But yeah, I was obsessed with Razorlight too :)

And there's a few more albums as well...

OK, there's basically loads I feel I should put in, but its difficult to sort them down to the top 10, and I also can't be arsed :)

Hope it satisfies your question though Rob

Buried by Exams, and a Big Picture of a Cookie =]

I haven't chatted about exams yet. Its all like meh. Now, I guess I've had my first exam for this year, I'll talk about it.

Just had history this morning. Went good I think, I actually enjoyed an exam for once which makes a difference. It didn't have excessive amounts of annoyingly loud GCSE kids, and I actually found some interest in British history. I didn't even mention the hoover though :O

:/ that's disappointing; I'll get over it.

I'm actually looking forward to my marks :) not that I really want to think too much about the exam now its over, but still. I just need a result that will push my History grade to a B.

Now History is over, I really want to relax again but its like Geography now :/ and this is the exam that I know I'll find impossibly difficult. I just can't get my head straight on it though. Its Human Geography, with stuff to do with Cardiff Bay regeneration? And ummm well there's loads of work we did on it last year in a short space of time, which had no effect on me whatsoever. And now I must learn a reasonable amount for it in a day? Unless the exam's at 1, I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm not looking forward to that.
I hated the exam last time, its a lot of essays for 1 and a half hours. I mean I enjoy Geography, I find it very easy to talk about, but I can't remember everything in such a short space of time >;/ grrr.

Anyway, can't complain. I chose it after all, although I didn't know what the exams were going to be like. I could've quit in but what use would that be. Where would I be if I didn't have Geography and History. I hated French...despised Chemistry. Maths was extremely tedious. I can't even think of anything else I'd've preferred to have gone along with. Well, perhaps Geology, but that was in St. Martin's and I'm too lazy for that :/ ...


So, anyway. I haven't been working very hard on revision today, having a 'break'...


hmm

Bye bye


PS. I hate that I've lost my shaver. I need a shaveeee :(

and

PS number 2. Thanks for the cookie, Sarah =D

How Do You Pronounce It? Hay-tee or Hi-tee

Just felt this was important.

So sign the petition please lovely followers of my blog (:

http://one.org/international/actnow/haiti/?rc=haitifb


Now wouldn't you love an informative blog on Haiti (: ....

There it is.

History.

Haiti does have an interesting history - well I find it interesting anyway - but I don't want to bore you. Instead just look at a picture of Jean Jacques Dessalines who led Haiti to independence from France in 1804.

He has a funny hat (:

...

I would write more about Haiti, but popular Haitian music is very rap orientated. I got bored. Also revision is calling to me. Sadly :(

Bye then.

Yes, we are still buried in a snow drift.

Hello, and welcome to the enrichment centre.

Have you ever been listening to your mp3, ipod, whatever. And then you find a song you've never seen there before...
Happened to me yesterday - was pretty weird. Found this song The Device Has Been Modified by the Victims of Science. Tis an odd song. I liked it the first time, and then it just gets on your nerves. Its got edited robotic voices that get annoying very quickly. 


So yeah, anyway its bloody freezing isn't it? :| There's all this snow. It has been fun; played sledding down my street (: almost got run over by Gareth as he was driving up the street. He is stupid driving on the snow though. I hate people ruining the snow. One of my neighbours, this miserable old man, was sweeping up all the snow >;/ while we were sledding on it! How boring is that Mr. Boringface! Hmph.
I didn't play sledding for long though. Went inside after my right hand was just freeeezing - I was using it to steer the sled.


That was Wednesday. Thursday, no school (: Had a reasonable lie-in, and then spent the  afternoon with Angharad and Chloe. Went out to town, didn't really do much in the way of shopping though, except buying a Chinese. Which was great, best Chinese I've had in ages :P I like the one in town. Its not as expensive as the Chinese in Castle View. Better value for money. Also, the chip shop in town is amazing! You can get so much nice fatty food (:


So I ended up with glitter all over my face. People were giving me funny looks....
The glitter was fine, but I do not like lipstick :| ...


Now it is Friday, just realised I have 12 days until my first exam. =/ I've History on the 20th. Its the Britain sources exam. And I'm not looking forward to it. So instead of doing any playing in the snow, I'm going to shut myself up in the house, and I might actually look at some old work...if I can find it.


So yeah, also, I am annoyed that the post won't get up and running ;[ I want my new phone. Grrrr.


Also, I have no lovely snowy videos like Xanthe =/ but here's a picture of Ronald, the snowman I put on my dad's car (:

Bye (:

A Crap Response To Xanthe's Demand. Be Pleased.

So he said, "Would it be all right if we just sat and talked for a little while, if in exchange for your time I give you this smile?"
So she said, "That's okay, as long as you can make a promise not to break my little heart or leave me all alone in the summer."


I've just realised I love Panic! At The Disco, yes (:



As for New year's - It wasn't the best night of the year or decade ever to be quite honest. I had stuff to do all the week up to New Year's and nothing to do on the night.
I watched this shit film, The Killing Room, with my mum and Gareth. Twas shit.
Joined in with the facebook countdown. Didn't feel like watching it on the tv. Or rather I preferred to stay seated, and lazy and whatnot (:

Watched The Invention of Lying in bed; I love Ricky Gervais. He is fabulous. I can see why he's not exactly the comedian that anyone can love, because he has a very definite style about him that people can just hate. Yes Ricky = Marmite. I think even the name is like marmite. I hate the name Ricky =/ sounds like a bastard's name.
Walk down the street, someone behind you goes, 'ohh Ricky!'

I'd be like 'shit', look down and walk faster. Chavs, scary. I hate walking through Treccy, down to the end of First Avenue, where all the houses look like they've been burned down 6 times... and all the people look like they haven't stabbed enough people today. I went past there in the snow to walk to town. Its definitely one of the biggest risks I'm going to take.


So far, this year I've been entirely obsessed by films. I watched Pulp Fiction which was amazing (: I love Samuel L Jackson, and i love that you have to say the 'L' in his name because if you don't it sounds wrong.

Gwyn L Llewellyn. oooo yeah ;]

So yeah the explosions were exciting in that. And I watched The Crow yesterday. Twas so sad but it was good yeah.

Films, films...sorry this is a boring blog really. I have no spectacular news to broadcast.
Bewis :L

But seriously, then again, I don't enjoy the drama blogs..
just saying like. I prefer the story blogs

Like Chloe's Portugal blog thing (:

By the way, what are you, Xanthe, thinking about the blogger awards?

mhm...really can't think of anything to say....yeah..


Bye bye.

Happy now.

Happier than I've been in a long while. Dunno why =] just random stuff happened that culminates (big word must use :) ) in much happiness. Ben's party was amazing by the way. Apart from the stupid Rosé =/ I don't quite like the looks people give you when they think you're too drunk and too sicky to walk home. So yeah, Rob's party I'll not be mixing as an experiment :)
Its Karan's fault, saying no no no you can't mix wine with lager and cider and etc. There's a part in all of us that wishes to defy Karan :).
Anyway, yeah this is just me saying sorry to Ben's mum and dad. I bet they were pissed off with me. there is the photo of me clearing up the Carling... I remember that bit quite well. I literally couldn't move for like half a minute with lager soaking the floor. It was funny.

So yeah, I'm happy - there's all this snow outside :) I built a snowman on my dad's car and he was not amused. I went shopping yesterday, the chip shop up town is so cheap :o I was shocked. But you get so much. And I sat down in the park next to the castle, wet arse from the snow eating chips, feeding the seagulls. There were hundreds of them circling me. It was nice. Then I walked to Liam's house and saw him for the first time in weeks, he ended sleeping over mine. So random lol we watched two series of the Peep Show and ate pizza.


Is talking to yourself a sign of happiness? Literally though, I could be going mad, but I just like talk to the cars going past on the road.... when no one else is there. I was chuffing that I was walking and they were driving, with their fat arses :) lol I think i'm just a bit excited about stuff. hmmmm. Dunno :)



Another thought...

I reeeallly really don't want to go driving today =/ surely Bilbo won't want me to drive on the icy snowy stuff, when there are experienced drivers slipping all over it anyway....hope not. I wanna go to Cardiff today. Need to buy more presents...=/




well anyway, yeah. Um that's it yeah :)

Bye byeee!!
