Me. IN A DAMNNNN FINE MOOD.

I'm scared of fonts - the biblical ones not comic sans, and those freaky Easter Island heads called Moai, what squidward lives in.
I only like wednesdays because I finish college early, I hate mondays, tuesdays and sundays. I like making chicken noises and jumping.

I love spanish, I love ska, AND I EFFING LOVE SKA-P. I like other languages too, especially ones without roman letters, such as arabic and greek :P

I find it hard to be serious, but I am sensible, honest and thoughtful underneath.

I love songs with a chorus that has a massive YEAAHHHH bit, because isn't that just the shizz?
I like old school rap, I HATE RnB with more than a passion, and I mime to all my songs in my room, in the car and whilst walking around ;)

I like scrubs, I like two and a half men but my brother insists on watching all the REPEATS

I love my brother, he's awesome, and he steals all my food.

I love my Mum, she's hilarious, and I know she'll be reading this ;)

I love my stepdad, he's so wise yet so funny.

I love ben and jerrys, and most sweet stuff.

I love house m.d, and I love the sims what you gonna do.

I have a bass, I should play it more, I LOVE THAT!


I want equality, I don't want anti-religion or racists, but I just have to make a joke out of them too :D

I'm a chronic procrastinator, but I always get it done in the end.

All I want to do is make people smile, that is what I try to do, it's not hard to join in.

Last but not LEAST haha:

I LOVE MY FRIENDS, all the nicknames all the good times, all the random stuff we've done, all the videos, the picnics the...everything, All of you:

I love that pretty sweet Moroccan dude, who I only met coz I love Blink - 182 YEAHH MEHDI!! He also hates fish as much as I do (L)

I effing love Lewis, and not in that way....walking around shouting HACHIS and making all those toy babies cry in rockbottom: it smells of mint, and a contingency plan.

I love Maddy, and Aaron for all the cheesecake days and injokes

I love CHLOE cresh sesh, and I haven't forgotten my first krush'em

I love Michelle, Emiloo and Weronika, Biology wouldn't be the same without you.

I love Robyn, Charlie, and Josh, feels like I've known you for so long, and I don't see you guys enough!!

I love ERIN you BABE, you LEGEND: allllll those times, Tré shoes and the effing rest

And Joanna, I'll never forget all those pictures we took on my laptop on that sleepover, with pumpkin heads and stuff hahaha

I love louise, aysha and joanna K and all those guys on thursday break!!

I love Georgina, Sarah and David, oh english is pretty awesome....

I love you too, Mr Thring, I love our convos

Oh yeah, Alannah, I love you, Jelly nose with the dangerous stairs

Okay I could write these forever, I love you all so much.

For all of you people who have come to picnics, you are so radical, and to people like James and Chloe and Izzy who have come to gigs!!

If you want to know me more, that's what this blog is for (OMG RHYMEEE) but this blog was just to show I am sooo happy

Random Songalong

like a castle of cushions
and we're standing apart
that's okay because i was feeling lost.

You asked me how I was
but we skipped the track
now I wish I could take it all back

Hot summer days
and it's 9 o'clock
you had a guitar but you didn't like rock

and all of the time
I thought that you were my friend
it never turned out that you would be the end

It was always awkward with you
we knew you weren't right
you should have taken your life
instead of mine

now all i can do is haunt you
it makes no sense
at least when i died
i left my lactose intolerance!

all i can do, is drift around
i can't even scare you
coz i can't make a sound

when it's time again
you say i'm a bitch
you say i deserved it, that i was a witch

well i'm singing this song almost everyday
so i remind myself to stop being this way
if i could come back i'd kill you
so stop making lists!

my name was on the top
but now it's erased
the feeling's mutual
I hope you say grace

coz I know God now, he's a great guy
he invented reason, and apple pie
and I know he's for you, and he's coming real soon
just when he's finished his joint and re-painting the moon

Alí El Maghrebi - Ali the North African

My bestest attempt at translating a song from Spanish to English, Spanish is in bold, the song is sung in Spanish obviously:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No se si te acuerdas de mí, yo soy Alí,
You don't remember me, I am Ali
áquel pobre desgraciao de la canción de al lao
the unlucky one of the song of the Loa
Que le pillaron con hachís.
who caught him with cannabis

Contra el viento y a través del mar ¡Alí!
Against the wind and across the sea ALI!

Mi sueño se ha hecho realidad: voy a llegar

tan solo una oportunidad.
Only an opportunity

Mandolins

I used to say I was athiest, but of course, all people who actually say they ARE athiests are actually ones with closed minds and attitudes.

Even if there is no God to believe in, why do so many millions of people find a God, and why do they practice daily rituals.

Honestly, In our commercialised world there is no place for religion. Anyone who is religious is gay of course. In our country, there are a few places where Christianity is still strong but in the towns and cities?

How many people do you know that actually go to church every sunday?
How many times this week have you prayed...

And I don't mean how many times have you actually prayed with your hands clasped and saying Amen at the end, I mean, fingers crossed screaming "please, God" in your head?

Probably a lot. We are all believers. We need to believe there is something bigger, something better beyond this world, this life. For Christians it's Heaven, for Muslims it's Paradise. Religions just show again that humans seek something to believe in, something to turn to.

Of course, In the UK, barely anyone practises the rules anymore. Sure, you have a bible, a children's illustrated one? I wouldn't say that being fed religious views from a young age, learning to read with books based around biblical stories is fair, but each country does it, each family does it. This has made the bible seem like children's stories, teaching morals and independence.

Of course, the bible does teach these things, but it teaches us how to be good, a sense of right and wrong, and we all know there's rebellion, hate and hopelessness in the world, we need a sense ourselves.

I'm not even religious, really, I want to be in a way, I feel that I am sometimes, I pray sometimes that the people I care about are safe, but do I actually go to church? Sure, we as a nation, celebrate Christmas and Easter, and our calendar is based around the Christian Calendar but:

Christmas = presents
Easter = sweets
Lent = only for christians
Shrove Tuesday = Pancakes

This isn't the christian religion, this is the western world, all our beliefs are commercialised and ridiculed, it's just humanity, but here it isn't.

We also ridicule other religions. How about Islam?

I'm not saying I support terrorism here, but SERIOUSLY? You're going to be prejudiced and discriminative against millions of people because of extremists!?

And did you know that most of the people who wear turbans are Sikh anyway?

Do you know the difference between Sikh and Muslim?

I know that my friends reading this will know, because they aren't ignorant towards this.

There are around 2 billion followers of Christianity, and 1.6 Billion followers of Islam. Are you either of these religions? Probably not.

Athiests, a lot of my colleagues have declared themselves as being athiest, but most of them just don't want to show that they believe in God. I feel a lack of belief is ruining the western world, and yes we do have the freedom to drink and smoke and get pregnant and say what we like and marry who we like, but this does also tie us down.

Please, Ignorance is not an excuse, racism and anti-religion attitudes shouldn't be a part of this country.

Rant over :L

Guess What :P

If you said anything other than what, your answer is correct. If you said what, I can only accept anne robinson.

Anyway

This blog is dedicated to aaron, who's parents chose his name from a list of alphabetical biblical names :D The conversations we have in poundland, buying vimto bon bons, and that man with the mohawk who suggested we get high on WD40

But that, my friends, is not what i wanted to share you see, one day, one long long long looongggg day ago, aaron sent me a link to a song. T'was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOIEdlfh7M

A band and a song, nothing unusual. Except the bands name.

I had like 900 event notifications, and cided o close some of them to make room for others. I am a fan of the joiners you see, a local music venue, and they like to send out invitations to gigs. GUESS WHAT THOUGH:

Dananananaykroyd are playing at the joiners!!




Which is only high larious because of the joke aaron and i shared.

which is now why i'm scanning my chatlogs on msn trying to find it.

I had to C and P the URL of the youtube video.

It's found a searchhhhh result, but I can't find the video yet, so far I have found happy tree friends, sims and NERD videos...

and now D12

YES I FOUNDED IT I DID I DID

(21:02) Aaron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOIEdlfh7M if you can say the name of this band i will give you 20p
(21:02) Rachel: ill try
i said it lol
(21:03) Rachel: what a weird name
(21:03) Aaron: dana dan dan danan dandanan dana nad dan?
(21:03) Aaron: apparently its a tribute to dan akroyd who they are all fixated with
(21:03) Rachel: thats enough they were singing about destruction on a major chord
major as in happy
(21:04) Aaron : haha its a very interesting song
(21:04) Rachel: lol
(21:04) Aaron : damn my impulse buys on itunes
(21:04) Rachel: lol

So basicalllyyyyyyy:

DEAR AARON, THAT WIERD BAND THAT YOU STILL HAVENT GIVEN ME 20P FOR SAYING THEIR NAME ARE PLAYING IN THE JOINERS.

Love Rachel xx

I hate kitkats.

I really do, always have. I also dislike chocolate oreos, chocolate foxes classics, freeze dried strawberries, most fish, no ALL fish, bourbons, jammy dodgers...OH i could go on forever.

Speaking of Jammy, who saw THE 2000TH (doesn't look righttttt :/) EPISODE OF DOCTORS!!

OMG QUARANTINE!!

The reason Jammy links to doctors is matt and I have an injoke where dr Jimmi clay, from doctooors, was kidnapped and being fed JAM sandwiches, rendering him Jammi for eternity.

For those luckily enough to know me personally (all of you reading this), somewhere on facebook I have a picture proving this.

BUT ANYWAY: OMG QUARANTINE

WILL CHERRY LIVE

I still dislike mrs tembe and simon, mostly simon, he's brash and offensive and looks like a thin pig with glasses. Silly man.


And poor karen, she has an unexpected pregnancy, has to have it aborted, her husband is a twat with a wierd lisp and then the first episode back: the 2000th/todays, she is all anxious and then gets TAZED.

oh wow, good good times.

I really need to do my english, but it can wait till tomorrow, I've been trying to get on with it and I have a serious procrastination problem. I swear I was dropped on my head as a baby, I think I damaged my frontal lobe somewhere along the line.

You can tell that I know I should be working because I am compulsively blogging, it's very fragmented.

Isn't shameless getting weirder and weirder? Poor Mickey, just COME OUT god!

I'm talking to aaron, he has a tumblr, well blogspots are just pure and simple blogs, nothing with crazy reblogging and words such as tumblr that are missing an e and oh dear.

But today was wednesday, and in psychology, omg guess what, the desk was GRITTY, everytime I moved my page it PROPER grated!!

eew eew eew made me feel really sick.

Anyway, I should probably go because matt's online and i need to discuss doctors AND more importantly I've been ignoring aaron's msn bleeps to write this pile of...fluffy kittens??

naawww meow

SHOKRAN WA BSLAMA PEEPS

New Post

I'm trying to identify what "new post" tastes like: Kind of like fresh bread...but not..

So, as it was tuesday, I went to town, and I did NOT see any men coughing with their tongues out, but I did bump into my brother when I left college for the bus, as he had forgot his keys.

I was busy demonstrating swinging my arms "one one way, one the other" to ayshah, but then I saw alex at the gate and was like oh...now I look even more stupid!

It was emily's birthday today, but we didn't set any fires this time round. Michelle bought her a card with a dog wearing an afro, which was hilarious because:

a) a dog wearing sunglasses and an afro
b) the card didn't fit in her bag so she was carrying it around with her haha :P

Michelle signed the card in biology, whilst me and weronika were mashing our garlic root tips. We blatantly had the best garlic cells evaaa! We nearly jizzed at the cells in telophase (biology jargon blah blah blah)

Anyway, urm, oh yeah, yesterday or monday I had lemon maoam. Maoam is the plural ofc. Literally THE best sweets I've had for a while, even better than vimto bon bons and fizzy fish that you can buy in poundland!!

Which hasn't gone up to 1.25 Land due to the VAT increase :O

I thought i deserved to blog.

Tuesday = tutor and then EPQ, and we have an exam next week on those god awful risk assessment books :O:O:O and EPQ, I need to decide what I'm actually doing it on.

I have a killer ear ache, My jaw just got stuck whilst watching holby city, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder: I curse youuuu!!!

OH!

THE most annoying thing this week: Vanessa put us into a seating plan! And in silence!

Not only do I have to cope with solid hilighting (which is okay because we can get high off the fumes) but also solid annotating, solid mental focus AND solid silence.

Which I break because I keep clicking my fingers or making an absurdly impossible noise with the lid of the hilighters. I am actually finding it impossible though: I cannot hilight in a straight line, My annotating only makes sense to those who can read Greek and wear two belts at once (not me) and, when it comes to solid mental focus; here is the example I gave aaron earlier:

Because I can't speak, I randomly get a thought of cinnamon. I cannot voice my thought about cinnamon, and thus continue to get a one way ticket onto the train of thought for cinnamon, and don't come back. If I could just say cinnamon to Sarah, then perhaps I could leave the platform for a while. You see?

Anyway, Louise said she was going to hang around outside English with a mask and a creepy voice, but she backed out of that in EPQ

Follow me on twitter people, gotta love it @Ledzebra :P

Thanks for readiiiiingggg

UNDER PRESSURE BLOG!!

Well, it's not as if I have a blog deadline, but I kind of want to get it done before holby starts, and also, my charger is going to have a bit of a fit in a minute, but you know....

I finally noticed something that is a pet peeve. I didn't think I had any, but, whilst the bus was changing drivers earlier, I was watching some of the eagerly-awaiting-to-get-on people, and a man coughed. Not ONLY did he cough, but he coughed with his tongue out.

IT LOOKS STUPID OKAY!?

Yeah, more frustrating than the game that is the family fun version. Coughing with one's toungue outside of the lip zone is improper! You only poke your tongue out to lick, to think, to pull faces or to blow raspberries. Yes. Not to cough.

It not only increases massively the change of a splutter o' spittle, but makes it look as if you are CHOKING on your own tongue!!!!

Other than that, my day was under the disguise of being annoying, I mean, it was a long day with 5 lessons (now that gateway's moved to today) But it was actually AWESOMEEE

It was/is Weronika's birthday, so michelle bought her a cake, and we used some home-made candles to start a small fire.

I was rather scared because our gateway session moved :O so know we have EPQ with Sam, :O who I thought was scary, but he's a nice chap, so apparently I was worried about this as I am now thoroughly relieved :)

I also couldn't stop laughing at the examples in our risk assessment booklet in tutor, but Claire didn't seem to like it very much hehehe

Anyway, this was a short one, because I'm under pressure, I need to do other things!!

Only really wanted to blog about the tounge coughing man!!

Love Racheliosss xx

P.S doctors was SO SADDD today, poor karen :'(
