Eeee I've had such a fun couple of days!!
Friday
Pass my driving test in the morning which makes me... INCREDIBLY happy!! I feel so free and independent. It's awesome. I've already gone to the supermarket, Guides, friends house, school and dropped people off places in the space of 3 days XD When I got home on Friday I checked the insurance to see if I could drive on my own and.... well I was going out just to look at the car in sheer excitement but the door slammed shut and I had no house keys XD So the decision was made for me and I kinda HAD to drive to the supermarket! I walk to the other supermarket (I'm not that frivolous!) but they didn't have any of the things I needed. Driving along alone in the sunshine with The Cribs playing was one of the best feelings ever :) I'm so happy I can drive!!! Drove my friend's drum kit into school today and gave lifts to my friends who I usually take the train with home. Braved the insane school car park XD
Saturday
Went to NEFF AND RAVEN'S PICNIC!!! Which was SO AWESOME!!!!!! I had so much fun and I really meant it!! Went up to Royal Holloway and picnic'd in the meadow with groovy tunes, exciting people and yummy things :3 Everyone was super exciting and I had such fun sitting and chatting with such interesting people. Neff and Raven are so cute together ^_^! *cuddles both* I wore my silver wig and steampunk-ishy clothes :D I miss looking crazy XD
Sunday
MY BIRTHDAY! :D eeee I'm 18! That's kinda weird, I'm not used to saying it yet. The irony of passing my test is that I no longer have any form of card ID so I have to carry my passport around. Tomorrow I'm going to go join the casino I walk past everyday just for lulz. I can also be legally convicted of all sorts of new crimes now, paedophilia included. Fab. Erm yes.... well on Sunday morn I cleaned out the car of my brother and sister's receipts and junk from the past 5 years and made mix CDs! Opened presents from my mother, so many nice things ;o;!
Cake note cards, hummingbird bakery address book, cake recipe book, Kate Garey
"Tea <3 Toast" bag,
Save the Planet bag, Moomin bag, (I've been using a bag for life as a school bag since December.... XD), Travel washing line, Little Red Flowers, and a video camera!!! So exciting ;o;!
We went down to London and went to Regent's park, my sister bought me some sushi for lunch with her student discount 8D before going back and watching my brother try and complete Super Mario Galaxy XD My sister got me an apron from Italy which she got embroidered "Natto - Cooking Mama"! IT'S SO AWESOME XD Her boyfriend got me a book on Southern China and a book of Chinese folktales (which just happen to be translated hilariously, much entertainment... XD).
In the evening met up with most of my family and a few best friends came up from Reading to go and eat ridiculous amounts of food. My friends aren't used to the eating marathon that exists in Chinese families and were full after the 3rd dish... oh lol XD Me and my mum packed party bags for everyone, including old uncles and aunties XD! About 30 people were there and it was so much fun!! I got such lovely presents from everyone... new clothes+accessories, Harajuku Lovers perfume, a
LiveScribe pen (which is awesome, but I'm terrified of opening it yet!), alcohol XD.... generally lovely stuff... I've felt so loved over the weekend. I think I need to do a separate post for what my friends have done for me today :D
