SATs… What a great way to start a week after a wonderful weekend hey?!

It was a lovely weekend that has just left us, i wish it never ended! It was a gorgeous week. Sunny everyday with a few light showers! It was REAALY hot! Saturday, i was out rowing, training for our regatta the next day (Sunday) and i was boiling! it was at least 20 degrees! then after rowing i went home, grabbed something to eat then cycled to Brooklands Race Track and Museum to meet James Ballard. He was doing his DofE Volunteering. So i went to keep him company from 1pm till 5pm. so i was out from 8am to 12pm rowing, then 1pm till 5pm at Brooklands!! I was knackered after! which was good in a way as it meant i went to sleep the moment i lay my head on my pillow! the next morning i went to Lea Regatta in London. I went in a double with long-term friend and fellow club member Alice Shepherd, me at Bow and her at Stroke. due to the way they planned it, we did our first race in the Semi’s, and we won! Despite me and my rubbish calculation in distance and we crashed into a moored barge JUST BEFORE the finish line, and the other crew was catching up! but we crossed it eventually! So we went into Final later that day, and unfortunately lost. But i had to Cox the boys in their quad, and you know what, despite the WHOLE crew soaking me with their blades whilst pelting it done the course, we won! and that was straight final! and we won! So i got a Pot! my first Pot!!! When we crossed the line i shouted on the top of my voice, THANK YOU BOYS!! and they said “why are you saying thank you?” and i said “you got me my first Pot!” Mark, who was at Bow said…

NO WAY! we did not just get you your FIRST Pot with you as a COX?!

i said yes! I think he is now envying me… i mean i didnt exactly do much in that boat, i steered it… a bit. What i love about us winning was, for about 300 meters (out of 600) we were neck and neck with the other crew. but suddenly, we pulled right ahead of them! i was screaming at them to keep going, James Needham at Stroke was making his hilarious faces of pain and concentration and we crossed the line, soaked and incredibly happy. then Mark calls out from Bow, “Amy, look left” i look left and his foot was poking out the boat. he then said “my foot came out of the shoes at halfway!!!”  We were so shocked!!! haha!

We took home a hefty load of 9 Pots yesterday. James Needham and Mark from their Double, Toby Jefferies and George Roberts from their Double and James Needham, Zac Cole, Stan Tilling, Mark Whitfeild and Myself in the Quad. Well, according to tradition… i have a date with some incredibly cold River Water… The Cox of a Quad or Octo has to be thrown into the river by the crew if they win. GREAT! we were going to do it yesterday, but the water was oily and full of weeds, so we’re doing it tomorrow after we unload and re-rig the boats. i might get my Mother to come down and help so she can get pictures of us jumping in! and me getting thrown in!! haha

Well today i had my first Math Exam out of Two. i have a science paper in May. FUUUN! i really cant be arsed with them but oh well!!! meh

Anyways i got to do some revision so i’ll write again soon! Wish me luck!!!

The irony…

Remember last time i posted my blog, i wrote at the end that i am a Lobster who eats Swedish meatballs who wears a blue anorak with hair like sonic the hedgehog who sits around the house doing nothing and eating chocolate all day… well. That has now changed. I still am a Lobster who eats Swedish meatballs who wears a blue anorak with hair like sonic the hedgehog… but i’ve ran out of chocolate and i haven’t been sitting around for days… in fact i went to Thorpe Park one day, same old sae old really but for the past FOUR and today FIVE DAYS!! i have been cleaning out my room!!! FIVE DAYS! ahaha. My Mother said i can have a £108 Draftsman Desk with Lightbox if i clean out my room. Thing is not only do i want this desk, i want to repaint my room. So i’ve cleaned my shelves out and thrown away Five bin bags. i’ve also filled a crate of tings which is going in the loft and a shelf of stuff going on Ebay or to charity. Alls good really. 

I threw out my previous desk and now it is in the garden, as well as my TV which i haven’t used in about five years… no i won’t sell the TV its so old a crap we’re just going to throw it away! i’ll probably sell my desk though. I’ve taken down ALL of my posters. my room looks so bare, i have a TINY room with a lot of high sitting furniture so i have no idea how i managed to get over 50 posters on my wall, and the majority of them are A2!!!

on the other hand, i do actually have a social life. Someone has been texting me alot, but i won’t say their name. I’ll call them Lightbulb… not for any particular reason, i just looked around my room and saw the lightbulb and thought, lets call them that. Anyway, Lightbulb has been texting me a lot recently and i’m starting to think that Lightbulb is flirting. thing is… i think i am back. i don’t want to upset Lightbulb or Lighbulbs friends. Lightbulb has the tendency to be very complimentary when Lightbulb feels like it. Thing is if i start to make a move on Lightbulb maybe Lightbulbs other close friend will have a go, cos Lightbulb is a very nice person and has various friends but me and this other person are particularly close. The thing is… i have two friends who are almost exactly the same, which i why i made up a name. so i’ve described TWO people as one. thing is again, they don’t know that my other friend is like them so they won’t think i’m talking about them.  especially as neither of them have actually met each other as well so they won’t tell if they are similar or not… god i’m clever.Both of them can be quite stupid about this kind of trick anyway so they won’t understand. AAAAnnnndddd they probably won’t even read this because they’d rather go on Facebook or MSN!!! Ah Well!!!

Anyway i’m going to go now so i’ll write again soon, probably after i’ve done my room, i’ll put pics up!

Byeeee for now

Meatballs and Lobsters… what more can i want in my Easter Hols?

Easter is a great time of year. its not so much as i get loads of chocolate, its the fact i have an excuse for lying round the house doing bugger all! “Why are you doing nothing Amy?" … “I feel ill, i ate too much chocolate!” its great! I hate all that Jesus Christ mumbo jumbo. i think it’s all bull. happy zombie Jesus day! now that is more like it! i got three Easter eggs this year, i was quite happy! seeing how these are the first eggs i got at Easter in 3 years! Bloody parents think i eat too much chocolate, thing is they never give me enough money to go buy chocolate in the first place so i have no idea where they get that idea from!

I’m going to the cinema today, Dad booked three tickets to Alice in Wonderland, for my brother, himself and my brothers mate and then he booked two tickets for Kickass for me and a friend of mine. however, all of my friends have buggered off on holiday or have family round, soooo… my brother will have two friends and they see Alice in Wonderland and me and my dad will watch Kickass. According to a certain crazy cousin, it is hilarious!

I’ve been eating Swedish meatballs for about four days now. my father decided to empty the food section of IKEA and we now have about 6 packets of meatballs and ten packets of cracker bread! but then again, Jodie and i have been having fun taking the piss out of various people and doing Lobster impressions so i don’t really care about the barricade of Swedish food, to be honest, it is quiet tasty!

Oh yeah, last week i got a boyfriend then broke up with him five days later! hahaha! he was getting grief off everyone else at school so we thought it be best if we broke up! lil arsehole couldn’t take the pressure! aw well! :D

So i’m a single pringle lobster who eats Swedish meatballs and dresses in a blue anorak with hair like sonic, who also lies around the house doing nothing and eating chocolate. Lifes good!

I’m gonna love you and leave you now

Until next time

Auf Wiedersehen!!
