The ELITE.....and me

Like most people, I like to think I excel at things.....

at least ONE thing

so I go to competive swimming club COSTA...don't know whether familiar

anyways its VERY hard going.

There are two lanes...

one is the lane for learners...the babies, the pregnant, the unfit, the less serious competitors.


LANE ONE



THEN theres a lane for what I like to call...

heee heee har har (angelic godly jingle)

THE ELITE

they are crazy good!

they can do SIX LENGTHS IN FOUR MINUTES

they all have six packs

LANE TWO
"THE ELITE"



LAP ME sometimes THREE times

THREE TIMES

FAILING miserably

AHHHH!

IM SCARED!!

Mis-understandings of a teenage drama queen

ME

As readers of this blog, you should know that im prone to embarrassing myself more than the average person.

I tend to get very defensive and nervous...some may say paranoid (debatable) about people saying things behind my back, and often will mishear something, COMPLETELY get the wrong end of the stick, and react with disastrous (and then later embarrassing) consequences.

In fact....COINKADINK this very thing happened on Saturday night.

So.... I was at a house party with a lot of cool people....some friends who know of my clumsy and embaressing ways....but quite a lot of people who...

WELL

basically scary, intimidating lads who were expelled from school and told they couldn't come back in year 12 because they were too badly behaved.

now, a lot of my friends were friends with them before they left, but unfortunately it has taken me a while to grow out of being a chubby social reject who everyone thought was weird,into an actually fairly cool (albeit under the radar) sometimes respected (HA!) individual.

Therefore i was never previously MASSIVE fans of the scariest (or what appears to be) teenage boys in the WORLD

Anyway, i did my best to not be too intimidated. (i.e. hid upstairs alone)

It got to midnight. My dad, who like the rest of us, can get VERY stroppy late at night, had agreed to give a few friends lifts home.

for a while previously i had been searching for my friends, but attempting to round up teenagers under the influence of various substances at midnight is NEVER an easy task.

it was a while after twelve. I was getting hysterical.....i couldnt find anyone and my Dad gets SOOOO moody and stressed :(

i ranted at scary intimidated boys and others

they told me to go away (in rather more PUNGEANT language!!!! e.g ****)

I ran off with friends crying and generally hysterical.

And so passes the rest of the weekend.

Monday.

A friend who was present at the time tells me that i MISHEARD...DUN DUN DERRR

and that ACTUALLY the boys were being lovely and saying why didnt i tell my DAD to go away??!!

apparently at the time everyone was wondering why i was crying and basically couldn't understand why i was being SUCH A RETARD

HOW EMBARRASSING

cringe cringe cringe

couldn't show my face in the common room for a while



CRINGE FACTOR 1 MILLION

TIMES 10!!

"Blond as angels"

Today we are going to visit some family friends.

They are lovely, kind, wonderful people, we love them all very much.

The only thing is, its hard not to be VERY envious of them.....

they are all very blond...

beautiful,

slender,

could all be in Vogue as the perfect family shoot tomorrow no problem

The children are all stunning, go to private schools, excel in EVERYTHING, you can imagine.

Even the dog is perfect! (and blonde)

every time i go i feel so hopeless!

if you know anyone you feel the same way about, please let me know!

We're seeing them today and taking our undertrained badly behaved puppy, who im sure will jump up, bite them all, run off on walks, ignore us, make a mess...

ALL whilst their perfect dog is wonderfully obedient, coming back immediately, being calm and gentle, all whilst jumping through a hoop of fire and walking along a trapeze.

but they are lovely!

im sure this weekend will have many a funny tale to tell....

New year, New me...........

Hi there, long lost followers!

Im very sorry that ive been TERRIBLE about updating my blog recently, but, well....

TO BE HONEST.....

I havn't actually done anything majorly exciting for a while, and somehow managed to avoid any major embaressing events!

Instead of partying hard over christmas, I stayed at home and worked through some of my coursework, revision, and other tasks. I also saw a lot of family and relatives, but didn't do anything exemplary or interesting in any way, apart from aquire a holiday tummy through an EXTROARDINARY amount of food!

no but REALLY



my tummy would be so bloated and full i would actually be in physical pain, then someone would offer me delicious chocolates............

it was a DISASTER

but thankfully my eating habits are almost back to normal now so thats all good.

Any new years resolutions?

1.not be too hard on myself...be kinder

2. Try and be efficient with tasks i have to do but don't want to (FAILING so farr!)

3. try and control my major mood swings, as i tend to go from happy and jovial to wanting to kill you within five seconds!

Ill be keeping you updated on how im dealing with all of these new year resolutions throughout, but i have a feeling i will fail them.

 mmmmmm that chocolate cheesecake was SO good!


so yeah....

NEW YEAR NEW ME

kind of

peace out

Mothers-what WOULD we do with out them??

I love my mum.

She is so wise... kind, thoughtful, caring, helpful

sometimes naggy and annoying

but mostly a benefit

ALSO she makes what i think are MASSIVE issues seem very small!

BIG UP to all you wonderful mummys out there....



The world is a better place with you in it :)
