Dang! I've done it again!

I'm so sorry everyone! I'm so caught up with everyone and busy I've just been not writing! I'm so sorry! I'm going to try to write even more as the plane leaves first thing Tuesday morning and I have to write as much as I can before then! I'm seeing everyone for 'the last time' catching up with old friends who I haven't seen in ages. Spending a bunch of time with the new friends, and trying to see my family like crazy! How am I going to fit all this in within the next 5 days?!

So tomorrow I'm planning on sleeping till late, get up, shower then at 11.30 I'm going to the school, hang with some friends, crash band class, then slowly wander back to TLF where I'm staying. This should put me at about 1.45. At 2, my buddy Jordan is coming down so we can hang out for the afternoon. Hopefully will be able to introduce him to some of my new American friends! I've wanted my Brits to meet my Yanks for so long! He is going to be the first one! Yeay for you Jord!

Friday I have nothing planned, but mum is going out and the boys will be at Download, so I'm home alone. Will probably stay out till late with the friends then go home, sleep till late, then Kennitta is coming down Saturday! Woop! (Hopefully. She is probably going to cancel and ruin my last weekend in glorious England, but... I have my hope up that she won't crush them so yeah... fingers crossed.) We will hang out around base too, hopefully she will meet some of my Americans! Gosh I'm using the word 'hopefully' a lot! Jesus!

Sunday Nan is coming round, and Monday I will hopefully (there I go again) get to see my dad for the last time. I hope I do and I hope I don't... I do because I really want to see him one last time before I go. And I don't because I know we will all cry. Frankly, I have had enough crying for one lifetime this past week and I want nothing more with it for a very long time. But I know I'm going to have to once more. Then it will take another week for me to get over it again. Hmm... I still miss Elise and Yo like crazy. I broke down crying again today, thankfully, no one was around so I got away with it.

How am I feeling about the move? SO EXCITED! BUZZING! OH MY GOD I'M IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA RIGHT NOW! Imagine a puppy having a hyper moment. Now imagine five puppies? Now, think of the Pacific ocean. Now comes the tricky part. Replace the pacific Oceans water, with excited puppies. That, sir, is how excited I am. Oh yes. Very!

I'm going back to Facebook now.

No more tears.... Please (3.48am June 2)

I just waved goodbye to Elise and Johannes. They are leaving for Germany now and it feels like they are taking half of me with them. I cried for hours yesterday. Especially when they signed my yearbook. Elise and Yo were the only ones to make me cry. So far, they are the hardest goodbye.

Yo and I sat for ages yesterday just talking. I was crying, but we laughed. He told me things in that space of time which changed me. I couldn't believe it! Everything he told me was amazing! He kissed me. I missed him. So much. I had to steal a few more before he left because I love him.  Not in the thrown-around-teen-'love'-way. But in a way that I will never, ever forget him. Nor, will I have what I had with him with anyone else. He pushed me to try new things. I loved all of them. Thank you Johannes W. for everything.

Elise... My best friend from the start. We had some rough times, but we could never stay mad longer than a few minutes. We have so many memories to share. Walking through Hinchingbrooke. Watching movies. Baking. Covering each others faces in mix. Eating sweets. Eating giant pretzels. Laughing at stupid things. Going to school dances. Neon Night! Cottilian! She looked beautiful at homecoming. Elise was there for me through thick and thin. I could cry to her. She could cry to me. I will see her again and they know I will. Thank you Elise W. for everything.

I'm going to try and sleep again now...

Finally!

Hooray! After two afternoons of being sat in the library typing up blogs, I have them all written from the last week! Yes! Accomplished! Not much interesting has happened the past few days, so there isn't really much to write about. Apart from one thing which was fun, that will be my post today! Then how about another, how I feel about the move? Yeah? I have to, I only have 13 days left in England!

So, the big event was my day, then night, with Elise. She came down to base at 11, as we''d decided we'd hang out. To start off with we wandered to the other half of the base's housing to see if we could figure out where Devante lives. We couldn't. So we went back to TLF to use the computers. When we were coming out, we bumped into Chris, Xavier and Miles. We thought we'd hang out with them for a bit, and ended up spending the rest of the day with them.

We were at the park next to TLF pretty much the whole time, apart from when we went to the BX to buy some more plastic bubbles. Those things were so much fun! You blow the bubble up, but then you can touch it and mess with it and stuff. They come it different colours too! Its was fun!

When Elise's mum came to pick us up, we said goodbye, and ran off. When we got to Elise's, we thought we'd go to the skate park, but the cricket team was practising on the field, so we couldn't. Then we thought we'd knock for Ariel, but she was doing homework. So we ended up, in Elise's back garden, making daisy chains. they were super cute! Then Sophia, Elise's little sister, came outside, and I put some flowers in her braid. She is such a cutie! I want to steal her away!

Ariel came round when she was finished and we all messed around in the front garden. Then, when Sophia had to go in, we three walked to Hinchingbrooke Park for the evening, it was a nice walk around, and we played and talked and scared each other, as teenagers do. We laughed at some of the slut who walked through and got some dirty looks, but it was all worth it!

When we went back, Ariel went back to hers and Elise and I decided to make Jelly. It didn't work. Oh well. We also watched a movie, but Elise got bored off it so we Urban Dictionary'ed our names and random words, then she fell asleep. I was still wide awake though so i checked facebook and some other things.

Well, Sam has walked off, I better go and find him!

Suncream Would Be Nice (May 25)

Today, Sam, Nanna, Peter and I went to the beach. I wore my swimming stuff and shorts so I could tan and swim. Unfortunately, there was a nasty wind blowing which meant it was too cold to swim. However, being sat in the shelter of some rocks, it was nice enough to tan. So, while Sam dug a whole, caught fish, and flew the kite, Nan and Peter went for a stroll and I lapped up the sun. I regretfully didn't put any suncream on though. Now I'm rubbing lotion on to stop it peeling!

Once Nan and Peter returned, Sam and I decided to build a castle. Don't hate. We had fun and my poor back got more sun. I flew the kite for a bit, then we went for lunch in Bamburgh Castle. It was the first time any of us had been inside. We looked around the rooms, my favourite was the Great Hall. Don't know why though...

For lunch, I forgot to say, I had a crab sandwich and a prawn one. Let me explain! I didn't eat two! Nan got crab, I got prawn and we split - half and half. I have been craving crab since I went to Xavier's and they were eating it.

We ate, looked around the castle then... Ice-cream. Bubblegum Ice-cream. It was delicious, once it was all gone, we drove to the little wooden toy shop. Its cute, i made a bracelet, it says 'BITE:)ME' it was 2.60 with a leather band. I also got a cats cradle, I haven't seen one since primary school! I still remember all the patterns, its great!

Golly, my back is sore.

Mental Note to Self (May 25)

Hair goes frizzy if you don't condition it after shampoo.

Again with the Weather (My 24)

So, after the freaky fog, it got super nice and hot again. Lurveley! This afternoon we went to Howick Hall to meet Nans friend Julia. She was lovely and chatty, bought us all afternoon tea in the hall. Banana milkshake and another scone hit it up in my belly. God! I eat so much junk!

Once we'd strolled around the gardens, we went to a little cove thing, it was cute, we had a wander round. When that was finished, we drove back to Julia's and she said she'd take us to a spa! Not really a spa though, just a pool. With a hot tub, sauna and steam room... It was fun though, we had a laugh.

On the drive home we stopped for chips! They were five minutes out from closing. (Bloody chippy's shutting at nine!) We drove back along the coastal road and saw the barn owl again. Stopped at the base of Bamburgh Castle to eat the chips. Now we're home and I'm in bed.

Hand cramping!

The Weather Changes Like Fashion (May 24)

Wow. Looking outside right now you wouldn't imagine it was 27 degrees this morning. We all thought today was going to be beautiful, and it started off so, but now (1:56pm) it looks quite the opposite.

We decided that today we would travel to St. Cuthberts cave. It was boiling hot. I noticed especially as the only dry shirt I have left is a black one. Joy. We trekked up a hill. Again. It was steep. Butt looks great. And we started along a trail. About half way there I jump around a puddle and what do I nearly tread on? A snake. An adder to be exact, well we think it was an adder. I screamed! The other people on the path stopped to stare. Awkward. It wasn't nice.

The cave itself was okay, not my cuppa tea, but yeah... When we were walking back, the same place we saw the snake, there was a super cute newt/lizardy thing. I wounder if it was a great crested newt like the ones on Alco? I was the first one to the car by like 10 minutes, so I called Elise. So what if she is still in school, its lunchtime, so of course she wants to hear my voice. We chatted for a while, then she had to go.

Once we were finished at the cave, we drove to some little farm shop and had lunch. I had half an egg and cress on brown and half a tomato and cucumber on white. It was delish! Then, as we ordered a course meal, I had a fruit scone, a caramel slice, a meringue, and a slice of lemon drizzle. God that makes me sound so fat. I don't care, it was great!

We're back at the cottage now because the fog rolled in. We went into the cafe for 30 mins. It was gorgeous when we went in. We come out and it is foggy, and cool. We were supposed to have a walk along the beach. I was going to swim, but no.

Its foggy.

SophieEleonore. xx

Too... Hot... (May 23)

My bed, was creaking. Hitting the wall. Too much noise. I'm the only one in the room, and its boiling hot. I'm only wearing a baggy shirt and I want to tear my skin off. So now I've moved all my stuff to the other bed.

Tired. Night!

Catch Up! (May 23)

Feels like I haven't written in ages! Even though it was only two days ago. I guess you feel it more when you're writing it out by hand rather than typing. I can't remember what the last thing I wrote about was. 'Please hold while I check.'  Cheesy Elevator Music

Ah yes. My book and before that, Holy Island. I finished reading. Cried again. Its such an amazing story. I love it, so much. So yesterday, what did I do...? Oh Yeah! We (Sam, Mum, Chris, Nan and I), Peter doesn't like water, took a boat trip out the Farne Islands. These Islands are famous breeding grounds for birds. Especially Puffins!

I always thought Puffins were the size of small penguins, but they aren't. They're tiny! When they fly, because they can, I didn't know that either, they look like they are struggling so bad! Its quite hilarious! There are these other birds called Arctic Terns, they get territorial. They peck people to make them go away. The one guy got pecked on the nose, it started bleeding, and another on the ear. Hilar! Oh! And there were seals! They were beautiful...

That was yesterday, the day my annoying brother read all that I've written so far. (He is asking all these questions about Xavier now - dweeb.)

Today Mum, Sam, Chris and I went to Berwick-upon-Tweed, or something like that... We walked, and walked, and ate lunch, and walked some more. Up hill, down hill, along rivers, over bridges... I have a great butt now, thanks to all the walking. We were looking at some old city wall ruins and stuff, pretty cool. However, if you've seen one ruined castle, you've seen 'em all.

After we'd finished walking, we drove to Scotland. I've never been before! It's one more country I can tick off the list. Yay! It was beautiful! So hilly, and sunny. Has been great here all week. We went to a little cove/beach thing. I got my shorts out the trunk and swam! Well, waded up to my thighs. I have a great tan on my upper half now though! I had an argument with Sam on the way home and punched him (gently) on the side of the head. Didn't end well...

Now its nearly eight nine and I'm watching the sun setting over the forest from the window seat in my room. The window is open and I can hear the birds, a train going by and the faint roar of the ocean miles down the gentle hill at the back of the house. The clouds are pastel colours, blue, yellow, pink and browny/purple. The clouds are silhouetted against it, a faint grey. Stunning.

Nan and Mum are home now, write again tomorrow!

Bloody Books (May 21)

Okay, so all day today I have been reading this book. I love it, read it a million times. So, I know whats gunna happen. But when you read it so much the answer to the issue seems so obvious. It pisses me off.

The Host - Stephanie Meyer

I recommend it.

Busy Day on Holy Island (May 20)

So today I got a bit of a lie in - if 9.30 counts? Got up, had breakfast and was off out the door as quick as a cricket! Whoosh! We were gone. We went to the Holy Island.

The Holy Island is a small island off the coast of Northumberland and has a road to it which get covered at high tide. It has a cute little village and a church. A priory also. Then out on a peninsula, a castle. It's beautiful! I think the island used to be home to Monks. I'm not sure though. I know there was a monk who lived alone in a small rock/house/island just off the coast of the Holy Island. Does that count?

It was such a busy day, when I got in, I took a nap. Again. For the second day in a row. I love sleeping and as it is the summer holidays for me now, I can do as much as the family will let me. I've also been showering a heck of a lot. I love water. So much. I feel amazing just feeling water around me.  So when Nan said she wanted to walk along the beach, of course I went with her!

The second the car stopped I had my jeans around my knees (pulled up), my shoes and socks off and was running to the ocean. It was a breezy evening on the beach, however, I couldn't feel it. I could only feel the sand between my toes and the sun on my back as I sprinted for the water! Oh! It was so cold! Once my feet were used to it, I was running through the water once again laughing and posing for pictures.

When we got back I found that Macala, my step-sister, had gone into labour with baby Adeline. Yay! I'm super excited for her! But my head hurts now, busy day. Another coming tomorrow aswell! Joy. I wish I could just sleep. That would be great.

Goodnight people of the world.

Shout Outs?! (May 20)

Wow! For the first time, I've been asked to do a shout out! Yay! That makes me feel great. He asked me to o this a few days ago, but I forgot to add it to my last entry!

Check this blog out! Its like mine - living/moving overseas:

Over Seas As A American

Write later with more from today!

(May 19) No Internet - Joy

Hmm... Where to start? Last time I wrote was Thursday. It is now Saturday evening. Lets talk about Friday. Then I can talk about today. First, however, let me explain how I'm doing this. I have no internet. No computer. Nothing but a notebook and a pen.

I'm sat in bed with my old notebook from school. It is my computer at the moment and I will use it for when I cannot write online. It is not a diary, if it was, my brother would steal it. He always does if I write one. Thats another reason I wrote a public journal. He doesn't read them because its not impotant if its public. What he doesn't know is that it really is.

Anyway! Friday was a pretty amazing day. It was Chris' retirment ceremony, he has done his 20 years. It was great, we had a conference room in the 'Stukeley Inn' and the ceremony ran smooth. When Chris got up to make his speech, he choked up. Never seen him cry before. It was wierd... But he got over it soon enough. After the official things were sorted we all went out for lunch. It was so much fun. We were all laughing and eating cake. The Americans parked on double yellow lines - illegally. And we parked in a private church car park,. Oh Well!

Once the eating was over everyone headed home. We got back just in time to see the run. People were doing the mile for something, I don't know. Sam did it and came fifth. Well done him! I went to the school and saw a bunh of my friends. Then went to the park with Kim for an hour. Miles joined us part way through. Emma text me asking to go to the bowling alley with her at 4.30 so I did. She grabbed some food so I walked her home and headed to the school to sit with Jada till her mum came to get her.

Jada and I sat and talked for ages. Xavier came over and invited me to go bowling with him, Miles and Chris that evening. I sorta like Xavier a smidge so obviously didn't deny. The evening came and we all hung out. Didn't bowl, just played some pinball then wandered the base. It was fun. Till I had to go home.

Xavier offered to walk me back, I accepted. But Chris and Miles followed - annoying! I was going to tell Xavier I like him, but not in front of them. So I facebooked him and explained. Not telling the reply. Leave you hanging!

This morning we were uup early and on the road by nine. Or was it ten? I can't remember, it was early. The first hour (of four) I was with Chris, Mum and Sam. Then, we met Nanna and Peter for breakfast. I switched cars and joined them. I mainly read for the next three hours. But when nan put 'Mary Chapen-Carpenter' on, I counld't help but stop to sing along!

The cottage we are staying in this week is super cute! Its tiny and has the most amazing view of the ocean and the Holy Island. Did I tell you where I'm staying? Near Alnwick, Northumberland. It was beautiful today. Blue skies and sunshine! There are three rooms. One single, one double and one with a bunk-bed and two singles. The last is mine. Sam is on the bunk and Nanna and I have a single each. Mum and Chris have the double and Peter is in the single downstairs.

I think I'm out of colours now? And my hand is cramping. Later!

It's Here.

It's here. The moment I have been dreading the longest has arrived. I had to give my laptop back to the school today, so now I have to walk to the library every time I want to check facebook, or write a blog. The blogging is fine, and hour every evening, but I'm a hopeless facebook addict, so I'm going to start having withdrawal symptoms. Oh well. I guess its just something I'm going to have to get used to...

Today was my last day in school till August/September time. I love it, I'm so super excited, freakishly long summer holiday here I am! Whoop! My friends bought a pizza for us to eat at lunch today, and a box of cans of soda, and we all ate under the tree. Which is the first place we all at lunch together. It bought back old memories. Quentin made a toast to all the good times and made me cry. But I know I'm going to see them all again. I have Dragonfest to go to!

I made the stupid mistake of forgetting to pack my extra battery for my school laptop, so now mum and Chris have to pay for a replacement one... On top of that, they have to pay for my Dragonfest shirt too because one of the teachers bought it for me because I kept forgetting to take the money in for it... Whoopsie! Oh well, at least now I have another memo of Alco High School to go along with my giant foam finger from the first Football game I watched. Ahaha!

Everything is gone from my mind. I was thinking about what to write when I walked over and- I remembered. 12 Kingdoms. I'm hooked on this anime show. Its pretty good, all in Japanese, I have to read the sub titles, but I don't care. Its a pretty good show. You guys should watch it, I'm on the eighth episode right now. There are like 60-something. I have to watch them again when I'm in the states, but knowing my luck, I will forget about them and it'll be horrible.

Well yeah, I'm now awkwardly sat in the library, staring at the screen trying to remember what I was going to type about again... Urmmm... How about another how I'm feeling about the move? Yes...? No...? Well, You aren't going to be able to answer till I finish and publish this, so... Yes.

I'm super excited. But fed up of it all at the same time right now. I just want it over and done with. I want to be in America, looking for some decent food. In my shorts. And my tank top. Without worrying about dying from frost bite...  Though in saying that, it has been really nice lately. So I'm happy with that. But its never going to reach 35 degrees in England! Lets face it!

That seems like a decent amount to be able to publish now. Later!

A Few More

Yay! I have time to write a few more blogs straight onto the internet! Woow! Less hand cramp for Sophie! Well what to write about today? Band concert.

For the past quarter we have been practising for our final concert of the year. The Beginning Band would open, followed by the Choir, and finally, the Advanced Band (that's me). The songs we played were:

Manhattan Beach

Emperata Overture - My Big Solo was in this piece

The Magic of Mozart

Fitzwillam Suite

Phantom of the Opera Medley

Marches of the Armed Forces

They all sounded super pretty, but my favourite was Emperata Overture, even though I didn't hear most of it. As my solo was getting closer, I was getting more and more scared. My heart began to beat so loudly in my chest that by the time it got to the solo, I couldn't count the time, thankfully, after three months of practising, I didn't screw up. Proud face!

My knee started really hurting when I got in, so now I'm lying in bed, waiting for it to stop. I know it will be bruised and sore tomorrow, but know where near as bad a poor Matt's ankle. He broke it. Clean. Sharp. Broken. He posted a picture of his x-ray on facebook, and its scary how neat the break is. But at least it will heal easily... I feel so bad for him. He's in track and now he won't be able to finish the season, or go to Europeans anymore... Bless him.

Well, I'm shattered. Good night world! (Especially all those new people in Germany and France)

I Will Take Over The World And Make Homework Illegal

Suddenly, this is right around the corner, I move out of my house tomorrow into temporary lodging on the Air Base. Its so nerve racking! However, because of this, it also means I probably won't be able to write as often. Though, I do have a note book and a million pens in my bag, so I will still be writing these, you just won't get to read them all right away. I loose my laptop on Thursday when I hand it back into the school. However, I will be using the library to update as often as I can get over there.

Today, well, this weekend I spent the time at my dads, but I only managed to get round there Saturday evening. I had to stay home so mum could make something for me, and finish some homework, which I'm still doing now actually. I hate homework, it should be illegal. That is what I will do. I will take over the world and make homework illegal.

Unfortunatly I have no idea if this weekend will have been the last weekend I get to spend at my dads house, I have to ask my mum if there is any chance I can go round there again. I doubt it will be able to happen though, we have so much planned. Chris' retirment ceremony, then we are in Northumblerland for a week, then I'm spending the afternoon with my friend, then I have a doctors appointment, the day after that is Dragonfest, then Sam has Orientation for his next rank in Scouts. That puts us through to the start of June. 11 days later we are off to the airport to go to Germany for a couple of days. Golly, I'm so busy!

All my bags are packed ready to move out now. I have a giant suitcase filled with clothes and books and note pads and everything! We have so much stuff! I love how the airlines allow military to have two giant bags, we filled one duffle bag purely with shoes! Its great! (I just finished that homework, and now I feel epic! 'MoneySuperMarket Adverts FTW!) Now, I'm pretty sure I promised you guys an essay on how stressed I was feeling a few days back. Well I can tell you all that stress is now gone, and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, however, I will still post the essay. So here it is:

Sophie Mobius

Honours English

Essay 30 – Don’t tell me Quarter 3 was Hard

            Don’t tell me, that the third quarter was hard. Many people think that dropping school a month early is all fun and games, it isn’t. You can’t just drop; you still have to do the work, maybe not as much, but a lot of it, in a compressed amount of time. It isn’t easy. A lot of people thought that quarter 3 was cruel, but what I feel is cruel, is having two months of work to do, in two weeks.

            I have cried myself to sleep virtually every night the past week, because I haven’t had a spare second on top of all the work. I even had to take a day off because of stress, and I ended up working on things all through that day. I’m yearning for some teachers to be volatile, and decide to cut some more work off for me, but it is highly unlikely. I’m wary of going into a certain class now, for fear the teacher will assign more work for me to do, I feel veneered and trapped by the piles of work surrounding me. I wish I could have had more time to do this!

            Yes there are some bonuses with leaving school early, a long summer holiday, more time to relax and wrangle with my brother… and lots of ice-cream; however, to get this, you have to go through a lot of stress. Now, most people will think all the work is easy, and two weeks to complete it will be fine. However, some teachers didn’t give me the work until the two weeks was here, I even have one teachers work to do, in two days. You will think I’m exaggerating. I can assure you, I’m not.

            Now the time has come to hand all the work in, and I have realised just how much I have to do. It’s a lot. I have essay’s galore stacking up. A painting to complete that I started on Monday because that’s when it was assigned, thankfully I just finished my math year.

Now I’m stressed and had writers block. So I started rambling, and managed to scrap an essay from it I think. I guess it is a good idea to just write your train of thought down and then see where it takes you. This would make a good conclusion to what I’ve been saying. However, I haven’t written enough yet and I have to add some vocab words in, time to go through it again.

So think of me in venerability because I did what I thought to be impossible. I wrote three mini essays, two big essays, made millions of notes, taught myself algebra, read two books, well maybe not quite all of the two books, read and answered all the questions for an entire chapter of science, mimicked a Georgia O’Keefe piece, all in two weeks. While being sick with a cold, plus being stressed, plus trying to keep up a decent social life and move country. Oh, and finals. Now, be wry, tell me quarter three was hard.

By the way, the bold words are the vocab word I had to put somewhere in there, I just threw a couple around, not sure if they fit, but oh well!

Now I'm sure you guys have had enough to read for one post! I will write again as soon as I can!

Reality Is Kicking In

So reality is kicking in now... Everything is seeming so much more real than it did two weeks ago. The packers came yesterday for the first few bits, and they will be back again on Monday and Tuesday to pack everything else... I'm starting to live out of a suitcase with all my essentials in it to. This is going to be something to get used to. 

We move out of our house on Monday, and into temporary lodging on the Air Base. Its cool though, a lot of my friends will be closer, and we get a bungalow, so we wont be stuck in a tiny TLF flat. We are madly cleaning the place at the moment, painting over walls, getting the mud off of all the things that have been outside, and I still have all that homework to do! 

I suppose you want to know this two. We are going to the airport today. My step-brother, Mike, is going back today. His flight leaves in just over five hours, so we have to drive him down there... Its super exciting because I know we will be getting driven down there in exactly a month!

Oh my gosh! I just looked at the date, May 12th. I leave for Germany on June 12th, then from Germany to some place in Georgia on June 15th... Woah, that's scary! Things really are going to be getting real soon!

I died my hair, trying to get back to my natural blond, but as I died it red, its taking a lot of effort to get it out again. We thought we'd just dye it blond. That didn't work. At all. So mum bought me a hair stripper. To get all the colour out. (My mum did not buy me a hairy stripper. For those of you who read that wrong.) And it worked, the red left... But not all of it. I had a light ginger/blond coloured hair. I liked it, but mum didn't and I was still wanting my natural colour back. So, when mum's friend came round she bought a hair lightener with her and forced me to put it in my hair, despite the fact I didn't want to. I am not bright ginger. I don't care that the colour is ginger. I find gingers quite sexy actually. But not my hair is florescent, neon orange. 

I cannot believe its exactly a month now...

Sophie Eleonore. xx

Can't Remember....

Honestly cannot remember the last time a did a lot of things. Breathing, relaxing, writing a blog and tumblring are just a few of them. I'm so swamped with homework, I barely have time to sleep... I hate it.

So, now I can't concentrate again. And I can't be bothered to write another word so: Later I will post the essay I wrote about how stressed I am. That should clear things up!

Turah for now!

Sophie Eleonore. xx

Fuck Men.

Fuck men. Fuck boys. Fuck the male race completely. I just cannot be bothered with guys right now, at all! I mean, if you are going to dump me, at least tell me. Don't just change your relationship status on Facebook and wait for me to log on and find out myself. I mean, what did I do to deserve that? I stayed up late every night to get the chance to chat to you. I got up early every morning for the same reason. But no. Apparently I don't deserve an explanation, or even a message. Pathetic.

Do you know what else really pisses me off? When people don't tell me things I need to know. Like if you are going to take me out to get something right after school, tell me. Especially if you know I normally stay after to practice band pieces. I turn my phone off normally in school, so calling me isn't going to work. Well, I guess I'm leaving it on from now on otherwise you might forget to let me know things in advance.

Yesterday was a pretty shitty day for me. Can you tell? Yeah, I got dumped silently, got taken out to get something that I can't actually use! And cried about 3 bucket loads. Yeah. Shit, I know. 

I wish I could tell people things though, about me. Nothing bad, just things I wish I could talk about, but I can't. Again, nothing bad (aimed at you dad, I know you're reading this). Actually anybody reading this, don't freak out! I'm completely fine, most of you know it anyway. But some people don't, and I like it this way. Don't call me if you have my number, if you don't know now, I'll tell you in my own way. Chill out. 

Anyway, I just got in from school and have a bunch of homework...

Band Class

Hey there guys! Nice to know you're reading this again, and if its your first time, welcome! Today was pretty eventful for me and I'll explain why! Then for some more 'How I'm Felling' to do with the move! 

Well my first class today was Honours - World History. In this class we revised the chapter and were given time to work on our own stuff. Wasn't the most interesting lesson, but I remembered I hadn't finished my Science homework, and finished it ready for class at the end of the day.

Then we had Honours - World Literature. My least favourite class just actually got fun today! We are reading 'Romeo and Juliet,' boring as hell! But we get to act it out in table groups, and we can edit it. So we were all making them funny and messing around. Some people even modernized it. Instead of saying 'Come hither, coward!' people had been saying 'Come at me, bro!' It was hilarious!

Then there was Band Class. Oh. My. God. We (me and a few other specific people) have been working our butts off, trying our hardest to learn these pieces. However, holding us back are a few people who cannot be bothered to practice. They sit there and play everything out of time, out of tune and out of tone. So we sound horrible. The only parts that sound good, are the parts that they don't play in! 

Now they are all saying that it isn't their fault that we are getting yelled at for not playing properly. When they can't be bothered to even count out the time so they come in at the right point! Its really not that difficult. I understand people have their highs and lows, but coming in on the second beat of a four:four bar, isn't as difficult as it sounds! It doesn't even sound difficult if you know music, and if you don't, its not hard. I promise you.

I'm finished ranting now! Just had to get that out!

New Record!

So, we broke a record for me today, 30 page views has been achieved. In a grand total of seven different countries! You guys have no idea how happy this makes me! Thank you all so much!

A lot of you are probably thinking, only 300? Wooow... But this is one of those stupid things that will make my week, so thank you so much, and PS if you're reading this, you've probably added more veiws on, cheers again!

I love you all!

JC At Grandads!

I'm in Derbyshire at the moment! Visiting my Grandad and his wifey Chrissie! We've done lots and have lots planned to do as well! I'm writing this to pass some time quickly as I'm waiting for Jacob to come online once he gets home... Was looking through the new layout and found the page that shows you where people are when they read blogs. Russia and Brazil are highlighted! Wow! I didn't realise this had gone so far! Thanks guys!

Back to my weekend so far! It's been great, we went for a bike ride today down to a pub on the canal, its a ten mile round trip. Five there, and five back. Coming back after a meal was the worst part, the first half anyway! I was so stuffed from eating fish and chips that I just couldn't be bothered to bike back, so I was walking, then Chrissie got a flat tyre! So she took my bike and went back home with Sam and Grandad and I walked the four remaining miles home. It passed quickly though, as I started blabbing about books and stuff!

Weird little fact about me. I love to read. If I get given a good book I will start reading it and I will not stop reading until I have drained every last bit of information from it. I will ring it dry. I get like that with a lot of books. Black Beauty, TrueBlood, The Hungar Games... And, my all time favourite, Lord of the Flies. Which is why I was so happy when we got to read it for school second quarter!

I'm getting off track again! Supposed to be writing about the things I did today! Well, I suppose I don't have to be, it isn't like I specifically have to write about this. But I guess I sorta want to. I was also thinking earlier. I started this to write about how things change as I move to America, but I haven't really been saying much about that. So I'm going to start writing a bit every blog (if I remember) about how I'm feeling toward it!

Now I can't remember what I did today... Great, let me think about it a minute...

Oh yeah! Chrissie and Grandad love to make thier own wine, and this year they are making Dandelion wine! So when we got in, we played a quick game of 'Postcards from America' and headed outside to pick some dandelions! We did get some funny looks and had to explain to a few people what we were doing, but it was worth it! When we came in we bottled some finished wine, and started dinner. We had pasta, sausages, broccoli and chips! It was rather delicious. Then we watched a movie. Memoirs of an Invisable Man. It was really good. Made us all laugh bunches!

While Grandad was checking the snooker after, I noticed he had Lord of the Flies recorded. So I told him we had to watch it tomorrow, so we are getting up early so we can watch it before we go out for breakfast in the morning. I love the movie, its so great, I think it gets the book almost perfectly! Its honestly amazing. Easily in my top movies close to 'The Patriot,' 'Apollo 13' and 'The Princess and the Frog.' I love them all!

So, how am I feeling about the move at the moment? I'm really excited! I have under 20 days left in school, and even though that means I have a LOT of homework, I couldn't care less! It seems almost dreamlike at the moment. I keep thinking there is going to be a huge BANG and I'm going to wake up to find it's all a dream. (Or rather a nightmare, no sane person has a dream where they get 15 shots in one year, plus having blood taken.) However, I am extremely excited, I can't wait to move into housing on the base, to take my finals, to start watching the packers put all our things in boxes and haul them away! Its going to be stressful, yes, but amazing!

Jacob... We've harldy spoken the past few days. Both of us have been extremely tired by the time the other has gotten online and we miss each other by like twenty minutes. I felt terrible when I took a power nap and didn't wake up. Then I slept through my morning alarm and lost more valuable time talking to him. Though, we skyped each other the other morning, it was great to get to see him... I honeslty miss him so much at the moment, I can't wait till I go to Colorado and get to see him!

I'm off to stare at my chat bar now, till he comes online.

Harry Potter Studio Tour, London

Today was the day we went up to London for the Tour of the Harry Potter Studio. It was amazing! To see everything so up close and personal, to touch the things the actors have touched, to see the exact clothes they wore... Honestly jaw-dropping! So now I guess I really have to write about everything I saw, which would be completely draining as I am so tired already... I have to though. This is also something to do while the pictures load on Facebook!

To begin with, the tour starts in the queue! This is where you see the first thing from the movies. The cupboard under the stairs. On the shelf inside are the figures Harry played with, and the first ever pair of spectacles he wore in the movies. They are tiny! Then you are moved into this little room to see how Harry Potter shaped the world, boooring! Then we were put in a little cinema to be introduced to the tour by Rupert, Daniel and Emma themselves... On a screen... It was great because at the end the screen lifted up and there in front of us were the doors to enter the grand hall... Stunning! 

In the main hall were the costumes and tables and everything used at some point in the play, a tour guide said some words then we were free to roam the rest of the studios as we wanted. We saw so many things, like the costumes from the Yule Ball, the table pieces from the different festivals, the make up, wigs, dresses, the wall covered in new rules made by Umbridge. Even the boys dorm was free to wander into, and Hagrid's Hut, The Weasleys kitchen.

I rode a broomstick! NO JOKE! Green screen and everything! Dressed as a wizard. It was amazing! I even got the picture! Will scan it on and post it!


We rode in the Weasley's flying car too! Got that picture as well! The queue was an hour long!

No lie it was an amazing day and made even better by the fact I got back together with an old boyfriend last night, I haven't spoken to him in nearly a year, his new girl had issues, and we started talking again about two weeks ago. His name is Jacob, remember him? My guy in Colorado? Yeah, its amazing... We've been up talking till the early morning every night! I love it, Then when I wake up in the morning, he is still online and we talk some more, its like falling asleep with him there, and then waking up to him too... I love it!

Anyway, Mum wants a cup of tea... Bye!

My Very Long, Only Half Over, Weekend

So much to write about, even though it was only a few days ago since I last wrote! However, before I do tell you about the events of my rather long weekend, I'm sick. Don't expect this to make much sense, but I'll try... Plus the layout has changed, I'm trying to figure it out.

For starters on Friday, I went into my old school for the last time to say good-bye to all my old friends for the last time. It was a great day, but I got called some appalling names (f*cking American scum was one of them), had food thrown at me and wasn't welcomed back. One class the teacher threw a fit and wouldn't let me in, even though Nadia (my best friend, also the girl I was shadowing) wasn't in her class. So, I got put in a class full of people I don't talk to, to play with maggots. 

It was amazing to see all my old friends again, I missed them all so much, I got millions of hugs from all of them because, I hate to say it, I'm probably never going to see any of them again. Which I hate. They're probably reading this too... I love you guys, and I miss you already. I know I won't forget you, and if I do, it won't be until I'm old with Alzheimer disease...

So that was the events of my Friday. Saturday, I was supposed to have a Brit come over for the night, but as usual, her plans changed. Again. She said she would still come, I told her not to bother. I couldn't be bothered with that sh*t. So I invited my Tayvee over! She is beautiful! We made a massive nest on the floor in my room and curled up to watch some movies together, but Latavia fell asleep, bless her!

Today we went into Huntingdon. I have to find a dress for my Step-Dads retirement ceremony... It's so difficult, it can't be too short, or too colorful, but then if it is too long and too plain it's no good either... I found a beautiful dress after trying millions on. Its black, with white polka dots. It has a high neck line, and 3/4 length sleeves. No shape at all in it. However, I have a thick red belt. If I were to wear that with it, it would be stunning! However, mum didn't buy if for me, she says  we have to keep looking because we might find and even better one, but I'm already in love with that one...

So you're all probably wondering about the title of this blog, its a Sunday, yes, but how is her weekend only half over? Well, you see I'm not in school again until Thursday! I'm going to the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London tomorrow! It's sort of a last outing with my Nanna, it's also her birthday present from us, she LOVES Potter. 

Then on Tuesday I have a science field trip to go on, yes it's school related, but its another day out in London, walking around a museum with my besties! Which means no work! Apart from the one work sheet I will have to fill out, but oh well! Following the trip on Tuesday, It is a teacher training day on Wednesday, resulting in me not attending classes again until Thursday. Woow!

Gunna be a laid back week!

I'm Trying So Hard Now!

So... Hey Again! Guess who is trying super hard to update extra regularly for missing so long...? That's right! Lil' old me! Even though I'm not that little, not that old, but I'm sure as can be, me. Deal with it.

I'm in a surprisingly good mood at the moment, its great. I've just been on my trampoline for the first time in FOREVER. and I love it! going to be my thing every night again soon... If I can sort all my homework out. Not long left now though! Two months in England! Wow! Only 30 days left in school before I have the month off to prepare my escape over seas. I don't think of it as an escape. I'm going to miss England so much. But when you've always wanted to travel... You want to get out there as early as possible!

Teachers just love to pile up the homework on the first few days back, don't they! Today I got given two packets, one essay, a speech, a set of notes and a Venn diagram to complete by Thursday. That's an awful lot of work to do! Thankfully the essay will be really easy and I did all of the notes and half the Venn diagram in class. Just leaves the packets to do and I should be able to do those and the essay in seminar tomorrow if I buckle down and work hard on it... Who am I kidding! I'll be doing those at midnight tomorrow!

School is still so tiring, I come home on the first bus, get something to eat, then try not to fall asleep before dinner! It's so difficult, by Friday I'm going to be dying! However, on Friday I get to do something I've wanted to do for AGES! I'm going back to Sawtry Community College and visiting all my old friends! Then Saturday, hopefully one of my Brits will be spending the night! She'll be late, or she will cancel last second, but oh well, at least I have something planned! 

Running out of things to say now! What is this! I never shut up! Ever, and right now when I need something to say... Nothing, can't think of a single bloody thing! Communism. Pure communism. 

I have a field trip next Tuesday... 

I have the day off next Wednesday...

I'm done now I can't think of anything else to say...

Done It Again...

So yeah, I've had everyone messaging me again saying o write another blog because I haven't in a while... Sorry guys, I guess I've just been preoccupied since I last wrote... A lot has happened and I have a lot to update you on. Relationship status, holiday with the dad, back in school again, report card... Yeah, just a list of things I can think of at this moment in time!

Relationship status. Johannes and I broke up. I hate it. I miss him so much but I guess I have to move on, I blew it. We were together for 5 months and three weeks almost exactly. It kills me now, every time certain songs start playing on the radio, or when I hug Elise (his sister, also my best friend) and she smells like him... I have to force back the tears. However, they're all being really great about it and help me keep my mind off him. 

The shock didn't hit me till a week after we broke up, Elise was talking about something funny he had done while we were in bad. I broke down right there and cried. Fortunately we were practising in the storage cupboard and There were only three of us in there. I was lucky that no one noticed. But that night I came home and cried till I fell asleep...

The holiday with dad was amazing! The week were away had possibly every kind of weather possible! Hail, rain, sun, sleet, cloudy... Everything but snow! During the trip we went down to Great Yarmouth twice. We ate a lot of junk food, went to the club on the site every night and spent A LOT of money on the dance machine... It was a great time, but i was very thankful to have a decent shower back when I got home! The ones on the site were exactly, hot? clean? powerful? Still, I'm going to miss taking the caravan out with my dad...

Back in school... Hm, was the first day back today and what can I say? I'm shattered! I had Art, Algebra 1 and PE. I used my seminar to finish off some art work. The result was amazing! I love the final piece. The colour scheme is red and black and the main theme is sign language and the study of the human hand. Its great. I drew my three initials. S.E.M. It looks amazing! Will have to post a picture at some point! 

Report card. My parents love scaring me with this. "Sophie. We got your report card through the post today..." "Oh no... How bad is it...?" "You've been slacking. A-'s. Not good..." Thank heavens they were just joking! I have straight A's still! For three quarters straight and I love it! It makes me feel great because I can keep it up!

Some how I have managed to bruise my ribs. They hurt so much and I can't move in certain ways. The runny thing is, I have no idea how I managed to do it! They just hurt so much and if I touch them it has to be with ice otherwise I'm hunched over with pain. The only time they don't hurt is when I'm sat down, so luckily I'm okay during classes. Walking from class to class hurts bad though, and on the bus... Its horrible. 

Thank you to everyone out there who reads this. I've had people I don't know messaging me, telling me that they love reading my blogs and I can put in words how happy this makes me! When I started writing it was just a little idea I got from watching a movie, but now that people actually read this, I feel its become a part of something. So, thanks guys! I will try to write as often as possible.

Love you guys!

Down Side of Life

It seems all I ever do at the moment is cry. I can be having the best day ever but when it comes down to it all I cry. Sometimes i just wish I could curl up and die because nothing ever seems to go right for me. This weekend started amazing, got terrible, got better and now is the worst it could have ever been.

I honestly just wish I could come right out and tell my parents everything! Everything that's going on right now, and everything I've found out. However, I know that if I do it'll just make things harder and worse. When people say it makes life easier when its all out, I know they're lying. Life can be so much better but the only way for that to happen is to keep everything away from your parents ears. If they knew the things I've done, who I really am behind the innocence... They'd send me away, disown me, hate me.

My life is just too confusing to handle, I've been crying too long now and the room is spinning and my head hurts and my eyes are throbbing. Its not good. I just need someone to hold me, and tell me its alright. Even though its not... Even though only a few people know everything. I still feel sick even thinking about telling my family the whole story. Im scared of what they'll say, what they'll do... 

Life isn't fair.

Rant Time.

Do you know what really pisses me the fuck off? When I make plans which I have to cancel because of my fucking parents. I was supposed to go to a birthday party hang out with Johannes and shoot a movie for my honours class this weekend but none of that is going to happen now probably because I'm most likely going to have to go to my dads.

Don't get me wrong, I love going round there, but when I have to do honours homework and my plans change, I'm pretty much fucked. I don't even have an A in her class, I have a B+ and that isn't good enough for me. Also, there is this birthday party, I've been super excited for this for a while too. Probably not going to be allowed to go, and I had to skip one last week too because I was at his. Then there was chilling with Yo! Like I want to skip that. I hardly see him in school because we have no classes together and we don't hang at lunch times.

Yes, I am extremely angry right now because last thing on a Thursday night, I'm told to get my bags ready when I was expecting to be able to spend a weekend in my normal house for once, but my mum is saying that her and Chris have plans and are going away for the weekend. I don't think the movie is going to be that long. Honestly? I'm fifteen, I can be trusted in a house by myself for a weekend anyway, I've spent a day and a night alone before. I wouldn't even be alone! My uncle and my step brother would be home anyway! What is up with that?!

I can't believe I'm not going to be able to get my honours homework done now. I need my step brother and my little brother together in one place with the field so I can record them fighting for the fall of my civilisation. But no, thats not going to happen now either. This is why I hate it when my parents do this crap! If youre going away, tell me please, so I know that I can't do things!

Thought that writing this would make me feel better but its just made me even more angry. Normally writing gets my anger out, but this is just making it boil over, if I'm not careful I'm going to start doing stupid crap again, which I really don't want to happen.

Not sure why I actually write this. No one ever reads it anyway, I'm constantly putting reminders on facebook and I never get messages from new people, always the same ones. Jess, Beatle and my Dad... I wish this would actually get out there, I wish I would have people from all over messaging me, telling me exactly what they think of this, and me. But who am I kidding, this is never gunna get off. Not unless a whole bunch of people were to promo it...

Hopelessly screwed over.
