A happy new year to everyone!

20 things that happened in 2008:

1. Heath Ledger died.
2. I turned 16.
3. Became a proper Brit (but still have dual Canadian citizenship).
4. Got properly drunk for the first time.
5. Visited Cardiff.

Got back yesterday from Kepplewray camp. It was amazing, just like last year, only it was more... intense. Ah man, it was incredible. All the activities were brilliant, I jumped off bridges into streams and abseiled 140 metres into a quarry and canoed to Wildcat Island. And the religion was brilliant, everything just seems so much clearer there. ( Read more... )

Yeah, so i went and saw The Dark Knight today. Wow, it was fricking amazing! Heath Ledger's Joker was brilliant, so completely spot-on and maniacal. Maggie Gyllenhall was looking a little tired under the eyes throughout, and Morgan Freeman was awesome as usual.

Has anyone seen the Evening Standard headlines from a few days ago?

This weekend was the best weekend I've had in aaaaaages. On Saturday Morgan came over to my house and we sat watching Jesus Christ: Superstar, and then Amy came and we watched Order of the Phoenix. Films are so much funnier when you watch them with your friends.

And on Sunday I got up at 6:30 (ewwwww) to get the train to Harpenden with a bunch of ( Read more... )

ood So the iPhone's now out in England! I've never really considered myself much of a tech-nerd, but it's kind of hard for me to avoid all the reviews of it all over the Internet, so I can't help being converted... I'll admit it: I want one. They just look so cool! And they're really pretty... And I know Apple is evil and are killing the planet by ( Read more... )

Oooooo yeah, go England! We beat France in the rugby! W00t! Makin' it to the semis! (And we're going to wiiiin!)

But yeah. Spent yesterday with a bunch of friends and their French exhanges who're staying here for a bit. They seem a bit shy, but quite nice. They speak crap English and we speak crap French, so there's always quite a lot of mime going ( Read more... )

Friday was Pastoral Day at my school. I'm not entirely sure what the point of Pastoral Day is. We talked about the theme for the year - wisdom - and heard a speaker and did some yoga. Better than lessons, I suppose. Oh, and we took a test to determine what type of intelligence was the most dominant in our brains! I got:

1. Musical (AHAHAHAHAHAHA! XD ( Read more... )

Yay, I went to a Kepplewray reunion today! It was great, we all met in Hyde Park and it was completely insane - I think there were like 16 of us, all wandering round. We shadowed joggers, that was fun and kind of freaked them out. Which of course was the object of it. And we spent absolutely AGES buying food and then people decided that the fun ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to make this post for a while but I haven't had a chance and since I'm leaving for Ireland for two weeks tomorrow I figured I should probably get on with it.

The last week or so has been pretty insane. Amazing but insane.

Last day of term was the 20th and we came out and it was chucking it down with rain so me and Amy Amy and I ( Read more... )

Hey. I really need to update about everything. DH, end of term, and all that. Brilliant. But I have to go babysit in a bit, also I've been wandering around in PJs all day since I woke up at ten to twelve today. And I have to get up early tomorrow to go to Kepplwray so you're getting an update in about nine days. Bleh, I'm tired.
