A Couple Of Links For You


As I always do, I am going to put up a couple of plugs for people I like (or at least know) who are getting Internet Savvy.

Emily's mad blog has now moved URL address from Famous Last Words ( http://shirleynomates.blogspot.co.uk/ ) to : http://mirrorscantseeyourheart.blogspot.co.uk/
It is still amazing :) (I wonder where she gets her inspiration...)


Alice's literary blog is still going strong at: http://mingledyarns.wordpress.com/
It's fabulous. If you type mingled yarns into Google, it's the second one :)


Seb and Aidan's podcast - for anyone who has yet to discover this, it's a podcast dedicated to sharing unsigned bands with the world. It's quite nice and I know lots of my friends listen to it because it's very funny. This is a link to the first one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlP8RdmB59U but I think there are about nine now?

Herries's fantastically daft/philosophical blog does actually get its own post on here in a few months' time (yeah, I know, Emma from the future! Woooooooooo scary!!!) but for anyone who is reading this through from the beginning (you strange, sad little people) you can find it here: http://thingsthatijustdontunderstand.blogspot.co.uk/

Thanks guys, much love

Christmas Fever

Today, my fellow internet nerds, I have done very little, yet again. This is because it's nearly Christmas and nobody can be bothered to do any work. (It does mean we'll have to work super hard at the beginning of next term, but that's a problem for future people, not us :-) )

Today I have:
  • Worn a fabulous hat
  • Turned up at 8:25am
  • Wound up Ben, George,Tom, Ashley, Seb, Peter, Harry and Chris
  • Cheered for Eduin (Captain Vegan)
  • Played the bari sax (correctly, unlike some...)
  • Got told off by Ben for dancing
  • Had a driving lesson with Peter Andre
  • Turned up late for Chemistry
  • Learnt how not to deal with a chip fire in Chemistry
  • Almost got blown up by Mr Archer in Chemistry
  • Had a chat to Mr Archer about his Christmas plans in Chemistry
  • Sold jewelery in the Lunch Hall with Martha, Maria, Misa, Anies, Emma, Beccy, Hannah and Charlotte
  • Leila also turned up
  • Danced with Anies, Hannah, Beccy and Leila
  • Turned up at the Library
  • Been called "Emma From Emmerdale" by Seb and Aidan
So, as you can see, Christmas is making me incredibly productive :)

Soul Band - Rehearsal 2011



Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce...

THE DAME ALICE OWEN'S SOUL BAND!!!
(Complete with small Me, small Seb, small Peter and Others...)
This is almost two years ago now, but it's still one of the best things I've ever done (except this year's rehearsal - there were more baked potatoes this year!)
