holiday

going to lanzarote on thursday, i'm actually so excited.
been packing today because i'm busy on tuesday and wednesday so thought i'd get it out of the way mainly.
i think i've packed a little too much though, i'll have to sort that out.


also been sorting out the books i'm taking, i had like 20 but narrowed it down. i reckon there's a possibility that i could read them all, maybe not all in lanzarote but denmark too... it's sad that i'm actually excited by this.

hi

i'm steph and i hate everyone.


except a few select people.
i want my bed.

has anyone seen this?

youtube 'life in a day'


i think i may do it? nothing big's happening tomorrow, and i've got a couple of ideas.

this makes me happy

if someone bought this for me i would love them forever.


aaah, it just reminds me of georgie in t-shirt form.
hello website.

monging around day today

in the morning i went to school because i had to a) drop back the sax, b) hand my yearbook back (twats), and c) pay for the science book i've lost. it was a thrilling experience.

i then went and monged at josie's for the remainder of the day - we watched the parent trap, sunbathed, ate... etc etc. it was lovely. we'd originally planned to play josie's narnia ps2 game, but we couldn't find it anywhere = let down = steph and josie very upset.
need something more productive to do tomorrow though.


thought i'd just upload this photo to say how freaky this is...
it is me. it was taken a year and a week ago, on josie's birthday last year. it is in her garden. i was wearing the same dress AND flip flops today, totally unplanned. mind fuck or whaaat.

going shopping today

which is an exciting event for me because i have no moneys, like literally nothing. apart from coppers. but i'm going with my mother, which is good because that means i can get stuff for holiday!

i actually can't wait to be tanned you have no idea.

I'M BACK!

fucking hell i hate google accounts. i've just ranted on tumblr so i won't again...
so blogspot, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?? i've missed you, it must be said.

i... have nothing to say, so i'm going to get myself some fooood from downstairs and then hopefully i will've thought of something of interest.

today.

i have had a fairly average day. but i am going to post every single thing i did (nearly), just because i haven't done one of these in a while.

okay, so... i woke up. quite late, at like half nine. i monged around for a while, as you do. had two bowls of weetabix minis and decided that i don't like cereal anymore, which is weird cos i live on the stuff. i then decided to do something productive, so i drew for a bit. (will post when i can be bothered to use the scanner downstairs). i then went biking for a bit, and got a text from alex telling me to come to school cos she'd just finished grease rehursals. so i did, and she presented me with a salad sandwich she'd bought me (proof she loves me really), and we then went up to the chemist where i bought hair dye, and waitrose where we bought some yummy stuff.

we then went back to mine the long way, and alex went on to sam's and i cotched at home.
i downloaded numerous torrents. i watched tv. i sunbathed. i did some ironing. i tidied my room. i finished my drawings. i watched mulan.

i decided that i was being really lazy, so i went on a bike ride around ampthill for like an hour.
and here we are, i've just got back.


now that i write it down, my day seems so dull. i need a new frienddddd.

i'm going to have a shower.

there's something i thought i'd never see again...

oppositely opening doors on a car again!
been time since that was done last.

it's the vauxhall meriva, btw.
looks quite nice actually, quite surprising. and the advert's really cute.

the hoosiers

have a new song out, i'm actually so happy.
bloody funny video too. i think it's taking the piss out of doctor who or heroes or something in places?

the hoosiers - choices

such. a good. day.

i just posted it on tumblr so i won't repeat myself. but omg i'm feeling on top of da world, and no longer as lazy as i've been the rest of the holidays.
right i need to now do something creative, seeing as i've sorted out stuff i needed to do, exercised, done chores...
yeah.

awesome.

change of playlist

the summer playlist i made has, i've decided, failed.
because i like, didn't get the songs in summer so they all remind me of different things.

SUMMER PLAYLIST MARK II
Example - Kickstarts
Broadcast 2000 - Get Up And Go
David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over (Blame Remix)
Late Of The Pier - Broken (Zarcorps Remix)
SixNationState - So Long
Xaphoon Jones - I Wanna Know Now (Bob Marly Vs MGMT)
Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams
Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know
Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed
Lostprophets - For He's A Jolly Good Felon

so far.

random photograph of the day

nearly a week!

oops.
have had an eventful two days in one way, in another i have actually done jack shit...
okay, i've had a 'productive' two days.
this is what i have been doing...

i take back

what i said about music not being able to solve stuff,
i have found a song for the next few days that makes everything seem better.

Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams

waaaait a second,
i just found a glee version of this song!
(well there's a subject i never thought would crop up on my blog.)

oh my bad, it's not actually a version, just one of those people who don't have lives and like cut and paste bits of a tv series together and put it to a song.
it's not that bad though? like, surprisingly goes with the song.

i'm quite a reluctant glee fan, if you couldn't tell.

sorry

about the lack of posts... i don't know what's going on really, i'm just feeling down all the time.
i feel like i should be doing work and i'm putting it off, but i don't.
i feel like this summer is going to suck, or that i'm going to waste it waiting for people to get back from holidays and waiting for everyone to be up for doing something.
i feel like music can't solve everything anymore, which scares me.
i feel like problems that i'm not going to put on the internet aren't going away.
and most of all i feel really alone when i'm on my own and when i'm with other people too. when they come, i just want to be alone, but when they're gone i need someone to be with.
maybe i just need someone new?
i don't know.

not that you care, or anything. or maybe you do?

buzzing

for all this week, when people are at school and have exams and i don't!
got a few things planned, might have to start going running again as well because i've been doing jack shit and i'm getting fat. :)

song for this week =
the xx - islands

best song on the album by far,
i've had the album for a while but never really got the music... i think it's a kind of concept rather than music. i'm getting there, though.

ROCKCORPS

oh my days... i have to go.

orange rockcorps is a music festival which was done in the states, and has now kinda migrated over here. sponsored by orange phone network, which i'm on, and i got an email notification about it a couple of months back...
it's on every year, the venue changes though (last year it was in the royal albert hall, london), and this year it's in manchester. and guess what? the tickets are free!

the catch is that you have to put in four hours of community service to 'earn' your ticket... a way to get kids off the streets and helping the community or suting.
anyways it sounds like a pretty sweet thing to do to be honest, and even though the actual concert doesn't sound like mindblowing or anything, it just sounds like something which would be fun to do with a couple of mates?

i'm up for it anyways.
google it, cba to post a link. :)

fucksake

so pissed off all the time these days, as i didn't know why this was i sat down for like 10minutes just now and decided it's a horrible mixture of exam stress, parents, feeling really lonely and i don't know why, and to be honest jealousy. fuck knows how my brain stands it in my head.

so happy!

i just successfully cancelled a payment on ebay for the first time, and then bought a better version of spyro: the year of the dragon! yaaaaaaay.

jammin

to the new rusko album while doing some history revision, it's deffinately worth a look...
my favourite is probably one of;

Feels So Real (Feat. Ben Westbeech)
Kumon Kumon
Woo Boost

totally don't rate Hold On (Feat. Amber Coffman), i dislike this whole woman vocals thing, sounds so 1999 chiltern fm tacky disco shit.

wow, five days

since my last post, i feel disgraced with myself. i apologise.
in other news, grum is this week's free itunes track! get it nowwww!

will post later, am busy watching up for the first time. it's amazing.

whadt...

just tried to sing and have realised i've lost the entire top register of my voice.

headache

but i'm feeling alright to be honest.
downloaded both jack penate albums, definately contributing to my good mood.
i'm not liking the song that just goes 'die, die' over and over again. it's pretty shit, but the rest are awesome.

errrrrm,
right a song.

Fabric Of Win - Joe And Will Ask?

the chorus just makes me happy.
right i'm going to have a shower and then plan what to do today. and take a paracetamol.

hello

this is my friend alex.


she has curly hair.

mao zedong

longs my LIFE out,


i'm looking hot today, with my wet hair and glasses.
cannot be bothered with these exams!
and then i go downstairs and all my mother does is mock me for my revision attempts.

song for monging around -
The Capri Spinoff - Justin Faust

the youtube version's slightly different to my one i've just noticed, but still pretty good.
nice background hubub.

woah...

just found the original version, it's not half bad?

Burn It Out - Just A Band

ah that's made my day.

blogger! my old friend!

i'm ever so sorry about the lack of posts, tumblr has been distracting me.
as it has been so long, i think i will post a SONG for you all!

Burn It Out (THIS/Is Remix) - Just A Band

such a tune, but seriously if you listen to it too much, it starts to sound like the 'we buy any car' advert...
...personally i've just ruined the song for myself. damn.

i always forget i have pets!

this one is called norman. he is ginger.


i have decided i love him.

tragedy!

none of my usb ports are working! how can this be!?!
i therefore have no mouse or external memory drive.
this kind of thing makes me question my dedication to technology.

also wondering if it's possible/safe to connect extra plug sockets to eachother? is it? i'm in need of more you see.

aaaagh. better crack on with this maths paper i spose.

oh, and also...

pinch punch first of the month!
pay day for meeeeee.

just had a lovely conversation

with my dad about music, and am now very distressed to realise that when i was young and foolish and needed space on itunes because i had a shitty little ipod, i deleted half of the simon and garfunkel album. why would i do this to myself?
however, now that my ipod has been - upgraded? seems like a bit of a downgrade sometimes, no offence ginge, but hey i'm loving the capacity - i can upload the rest of it! hurrah!
love, my life.

in other news...

...i NEED some of these, they're insaaanely cool.


check the price out though?! right here.

box is finished!

love. my. life.

feeling like shit

and i'm meant to be revising. my parents are giving me hell, but what's new?
all over in a couple of weeks so i can't really complain that much.
i'm stuck with this history revision, just can't get the motivation and bitesize history SUCKS MY BALLS.

however, today i have successfully made Box Mark III for art, and i like it rather alot... will post a pic as soon as i've taken one.
IT HAS LED'S IN IT!
all in all, my life is now complete :')

reminders-
- give my library book back so the fine isn't my entire year's pocket money
- tidy desk
- get rhea to give back my jumper.

ktnxbye.

plans for today

lots to do, being a saturday and beginning of hols.
- tidy room
- do some art!
- history revision, maaaybe
- redo one of my photo walls, i.e. take 'em down and put up the year photo instead (they looked shit anyways)
- dig out my fairy lights from the loft
- find all the science books i need to give back/give to my sister

and i think that's about it.
soundtrack for today =
Late Of The Pier - Broken (Zarcorp Remix)

fail

i always feel i need to like, ration my posts on here? but then i realised probably nobody even reads this, sooo i should write as much as i want :).

gutted i didn't even go for a walk this evening, physics is a bitch to crack these days, gcse all over tomorrow though i spose. #positivevibes.

anyways, on a brighter note,
i have decided after much deliberation that lara jade is still my favourite fashion and conceptual photographer. her photos are amazing, love it that she's got some new stuff on the way.
bit gutted that i studied her for art though cos as soon as you take something you love to school it immediately ruins it (example- studying shrek in english media, year 9)

check out her site here.

world's worst papercut

in so much pain now, it's untrue. inflicted the worst papercuts on myself just now as a result of my lengthly displacement activity.
here is what i have done this afternoon to avoid revision;

- finally begun the scrapbook of all of the articles i want to keep that have been lying around my room for years, and i mean years
- changed my bed
- tidyed my room - still a bit messy i spose but i'm not a saint
- got changed about 5 times
- tried to complete the rubix cube for the millionth time
- upoaded photos
- made a playlist
- opened my physics books to the right section this time, after the awful realisation that i've been revising additional rather than triple for tomorrow
- collected up everyone's crap that was left at my house, including keys, someone? and two pairs of glasses
- read a magazine
- played piano
- did a couple of drawings
- decided what piercing to get tomorrow/saturday (anti helix)

aaand i think that's it.
maybe i should start now as i'm supposedly going out in an hour?

solero shots!

who remembers these?!
i want to know if they still sell them, haven't seen them in a while... they remind me of holidays in france when i was a kid. i used to ask for them in french at the corner shop :')

REMINDER TO MYSELF

download all the albums i've meant to for a couple of weeks, these being by;

- Late Of The Pier
- Egyptian Hip Hop
- Is Tropical
- The Drums (why have i not got this yet, seriously)
- the rest of the Bombay Bicycle Club which i haven't got
- Jonsi
- Signor Ros
- the old Animal Collective album
- Seoul
- 65daysofstatic
- We Are Scientists
- The Chapman Family
- Local Natives

aaand i think that'll do me for a couple of days. time for bed.

i caved in

and got tumblr. i feel like a bad bad person.
at least bad at chemistry, as i have spent about an hour enjoying myself on here and not revising for either chem exam tomorrow...

shit, i'm dead.

fourth and final

last post for today because i've been spamming, will try to refrain from now on.
went out and got some good photos i think, will upload them tomorrow and see if they're any good.

was listening to sophie ellis-bexter earlier, makes a change i spose. i have to say, this song (Me And My Imagination) really is not bad at all, it's like crying out for a remix though.

whenever i try to revise...

...i immediately get distracted. ten times worse outside, and with my camera.
took these, didn't come out too bad considering it wasn't a macro lens.





just your average grass snaps i spose...
might go out now as the light is really great.

new additions to the ultimate summer playlist

Tommy Sparks - She's Got Me Dancing
Lostprophets - For He's A Jolly Good Felon

sat here in my dungarees

on my laptop, why am i not outside? will go out in a sec actually.
anyways, just came across this website which has quite cool clothes etc - already got a tee from there (on sale) - they're a bit plain for my taste though, and they're way too expensive for what they actually are. for a tenner maybe.


anyways, check it out here.

*still the best music video possibly ever... watch it here.

fairly mainstream but bloody brilliant, going to go cotch in the sun right nawwww.

just decided...

...that i need a new pair of hi-tops, and i'm kinda going for the old nike-id vibes. browsing the website and they look sooo sick, i think i'll go for it at some point.

in LOVE, it's official

HTC seem to get better and better... i have an HTC tattoo and thought it was pretty sound, that is until i saw THIS sexy piece of tech right here.

"HTC Wildfire-- Bring your friends to you"

sounds promising... considering saving up. let's be honest now, it wipes the iphone all over the shop.

i'm a-youtube-ing

eating ben & jerry's (whoever doesn't like it, actually... i don't understand you) and browsing youtube, as you do when you're bored and putting off revision. okay so i have a serious question to everyone on youtube -- WHY are there so many teenage girls making starry eyed covers?? you can't TEST ellie goulding, why are you bothering? and stop trying so frigging hard, it's painful to watch... especially this one.

ps. who plays guitar in their bathroom anyways?

what a lovely day in bedfordshire

the actual only thing that got me through today without having to hit someone is this song,

Barretso - Midnight Walk

puts you in suchhh a good mood.

another boring day

finding that i hate school these days, especially the upcoming exams (first one tomorrow, bricking it) and this bloody 3-2 split longs my life out. SO was pretty happy in IT today to discover this company online that make these AMAZING tees...


...shame that they don't have a uk store though, means that you'd only really get value for money if you bought them in bulk as the postage is like 20quid and i can't really justify that kind of money, even if they are insanely cool.

anyways check out the site here.

okay so first of all...

...i think i should post on here a song that has literally been one of my favourite songs for the past couple of months, constantly playing on the old ipod.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2TjSdhwaHU

i just searched the original song by the rogues and it was such a let down - i find that if you listen to the remix before the original, it's always better.

first new blog entry

congratulations to me, i have finally decided to make a blog that other people aside from me can see... and i will try not to fill it with crap like i did my other two.
