I’m so sorry! I haven’t updated in...(tries to work it out)...well, in forever anyway.
I do, however, have a kinda good excuse, so you can shout at me, but not throw stuff.
In the month follow my last update I was (supposedly) revising, and in the month following that I was being pushed to the end of my wits with these nasty, horrible, ghastly, atrocious, vile, horrendous exams called GCSE’s that we’re all supposed to sit without killing ourselves.
July / August saw me sunbathing and safari-ing for 3 weeks in Kenya, which was totally amazing, and I honestly will get some photos up when I can bribe
astra_argentea to sort it all out for me. ^_^
As for the last few weeks, well, that’s what you’re allowed to shout at me for, because I’ve just been totally lazy and spent most of my time sleeping and reading comics (btw TC, have you read the new Rouge series?).
My only major activity for the last month has been last week, when I volunteered at a play scheme run for autistic kids. The kids were OK, but the other helpers I met there were just the best ever!
Admittedly, there were only two other people there my age, and everyone else was either leaving sixth form or much older, but I still had a blast. I really hope I keep in contact with them all, especially Chris (gay, blonde and totally camp) and Sarn (one of the sweetest, coolest people around), who I am apparently going salsa dancing with in a few weeks!
As I said, the kids were all OK, except the one boy I had to look after who managed to escape and run screaming down the road. It would have been funny if I didn’t have to chase him down to the High Street with no shoes on.
Other than that my holiday has been a complete wash out, I’ve done nothing that I planned to do and my tan is fading. And some old lady at the bus stop had a go at me this morning for not taking maths A Level and not knowing what university I want to go to. I swear I have never been more relived to see a bus arrive in my life (except maybe that time I was already 35 mins late).
Huh, well, that’s about all I can think of right now. I’m sure in a day or so I’ll feel the need to update again, and if not you can all shout at me!
Oh, and TC, I do have a postcard for you, but I lost your address, so I’ll send it with
astra_argentea’s when she sends hers. ^_^
