i'll tell you one thing. having arthritis in your hip at the age of 18 is NOT fun. well tbf i've had it since i was 8 but it got better for a few months and now its back with a vengence. last night i was so tired from work, so i went to bed at about 11pm. and 4.45am, I got to sleep properly. It was the most hideous nights sleep i've had in years. I'd fall asleep for 20 minutes or so, but the minute I moved my body in my sleep itd hurt my hip and wake me up. still hurt this morning when i got up for work as well, meaning only half the work that should have been done, got done. meaning i'm gonna get in shit with my boss. even though i did leave a note explaining, it wont be good enough. god forbid i should be ill.

anyways. just thought i'd share that.
ciao.

SO.
i'm knackered!
quick entry before bed.

yesterday was awesssssssommeeeee. avon lady came round (don't know if i've wrote about this or not so i won't go into detail) but basically yeah i'm now an avon girl. woo! then i went into town to take the sister to her hair consultation cos omgz, she's goin blonde! haha. and then from town i went to jessicas house :) 

after spending the best part of 2 hours sat on jesses bed watching friends like and old married couple. (we are not any such thing may i add?). so yeah we did that and then eventually managed to shift ourselves at the prospect of popcorn chicken and smiley faces and baked beans. (so much for dieting). annd then after that was that bit of the evening that most girls with a head LOVE to pieces, the getting ready to go out stage. i don't know why but for some unknown to man reason, i really don't enjoy it. maybe it's cos i get a bit nervy about going out (don't ask why, i'm just odd). or maybe its cos i always seem to need 15 minutes longer to get ready, no matter how much time i've had. also, had absoloutley no inspiration on the makeup front and ended up doing the same green look i do every single time i have no inspiration. i mean don't get me wrong . .it's pretty. but just nothing special.

so anyway, we did that and then bussed it into derby. went to the blue dog for a drink before we met our other chummingtons. so weird going into the dog and getting asked for i.d and actually having real i.d to hand them. it's weird, because when we were about 15, they'd serve us no problem. then all of a sudden it got mega strict and they stopped serving us when we were 17. weird? i mean yeh we were still underage, but we hadn't got any younger! but hey, that's no problemo anymore as i have finally hit the big one eight! yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 

so then 2 pints of strongbow later (i'm such a boy drinker!) our other mates turned up and we headed off to mosh. so exciting cos neither me or jess had never been before. for those of you that don't know, it's a 3 storey club. the music that plays changes depending on the night. last night ground floor was more chart stuff, first floor was rock and metal (oh yes they played paramore twice!) and then the third floor was like rave kinda stuff. needless to say we spent the majority of the time rockin out the second floor. it was soooo good to be in a club other than blue note that played really awesome music. i mean come on, they played jimmy eat world, new found glory, paramore, foo fighters, blink 182, sum 41, good charlotte, rage against the machine and linkin park all in one night. the place is legendary. plus, monday nights its only £2 to get in and a free shot. (if you ever go there, get the green sour apple one, it's amazeee). was pretty impressed that a bacardi and lemonade was only £2 as well. haha i'm such an old lady! but yeah. came out at about 2.30 a bittt worse for wear and fell into the kebab shop opposite for yet more junk food in the form of cheesy chips and mayonaise. (i really shouldn't be allowed to eat for the next 3 days).

home again home again it was and sleepy time.
today me and jess met up with helen our ann summers unit organizer so she could get us started with our ann summers party doing. that's all looking really exciting atm, and we have our first training party on the 26th in a pub ha! i'm well looking forward to it! so yeah i'm trying to get into the habit of being organized, which is a lot easier said than done, coming from somebody who has not one organized bone in her body.

but i reckon practicing organizational skills and earning some extra spondoolies at the same time can only turn out to be a winner.

this entry wasn't so short.
i'm gna peace out before i fall out.

laters x

bonjour my lovely little livejournal-esque pal.

i am vair happy. exchanged phone numbers with pretty hmv boy. i'm a bit disappointed that i was such a drunken mess for most of the evening that i was at my most idiotic. but hey, he still swapped the digits so he knows what he's letting himself in for! haha.

in the rest of lucys life, i went to an ann summers party hosts meeting thingy with the jess tonight. we're going to start hosting the parties. (you know the ones where a rep for ann summers comes to your house with a bunch of products for you to try on and test, you get your girls round and hell breaks loose). the girls we met there were so cool. tbh though, they were already into it, so we felt a bit googly eyed just sat there like 'whaaaa'. but then in the break the woman running the whole meeting had a natter with us and we're meeting her for coffee and a talk so she can get us started properly. so yeah. in a few weeks time, if any of you are in the derby area and fancy an ann summers party, we're your girls! haha. it all looks really fun, and any chance to make extra cash is fineeeee by me. 

last night i took my sister to a mcfly concert at leicester (belvoir castle i think it was called?) anyway. once again lucy got a wee bit drunk and was talking to the support act called go:audio. i didn't see a lot of their set but what i did see was amazing, and if your into your pop punk or whatever, you should definitley, definitley check them out. i mean they're nice guys too! they even sharpie up my arms with their signatures! haha. i tell you what, that was a decision i regretted! trying to scrub sharpie off your arms for work is a painful process, and i still didn't get it all off. luckily i was in charge today and ye olde bookshop, so nobody was there to tell me off for being a common scruffbag. 

i swear i love consort with romeo more and more every single day. i had everybody in the crowd i was with at the mcfly gig raise their hands if they had a myspace, and then promise to add the band the second they next logged in. the things cider does to a girl! anyway yeah, back to consort. if you youtube consort with romeo, you'll find the most beautiful acoustic cover of a moment suspended in time by underoath. athina and rich rockkkk. i just can't contemplate the fact i'm yet to get to a show of theirs. i'm still not quite over the trauma of the cancelled gig in derby a few months ago. (their van broke down so they couldn't get here). i was SO gutted man. i know there was nothing that could be done about it, but seriously. i must be the person in the uk that wants to see them most out of EVERYBODY living here, and the gig i was sposed to go is cancelled. GRRRRR. i'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for a tour that stops by derby next time. 

also. mosh tomorrow night.
god knows what i'm going to wear. possibly nothing as my wardrobe consists of precisely no smart/causal/cool clothes. seriously. haha that was such a girly moment. of course i actually have clothes. do i want to wear any of them? nooooooo! ohhh well. we'll come up with something i'm sure. i'm just trying to minimalize my spending as its getting out of control, it truly is. so new clothes is not an option people! 

anyways, i talk too much.
i'm off to facebook it i think. (such a myspace traitor!)
haha
peaceeee out!
lucy

so today was odd.
its official.
my boyfriend and i are now ex boyfriend and girlfriend to each other. or 'friends'. even though i instigated this breakup, i feel kind of sad about it. its the first time in 2 and a half years i'm single and it feels a bit abrupt. like . .i suddenly feel lonely even though i've been out of a relationship for less than 24 hours. i'm sure i'll get used to it. desitny's child independent woman was not written in vain.

i just watched a really upsetting film called kidulthood, which isn't really enhancing any uplifting moods tbh. the sequel, adulthood is out at the cinemas soon. anyways. kidulthood. . . i don't know. the way it reflects british youths mob culture is scarily accurate. pffft what am i saying. as if a blade scares anybody anymore. i just want it to end. i hate seeing 14 and 15 year olds acting like their some big shot gangsta. trouble is, a lot of it isn't acting anymore. they don't just carry blades, they use them without a thought. what really terrifies me is the way innocent kids are dying. kids who were good. who didn't even hang round with 'that' crowd, who did their homework and had a little brother or sister. kids who were on their way home from buying their first lottery ticket after their 16th birthday. if these kids are being stabbed to death, completley unprovoked, how are we supposed to teach future generations to stick up for themselves. there's so much risk of defending yourself leading to your death now, i don't know if its worth taking the chance. such a mood dampening post but unfortunatley, it's something thats been playing on my mind recently. i mean it's so hard to avoid . .

its funny how i'm spilling my sould to a computer screen. even though when i hit post, absoloutley anybody has access to my darkest fears, thoughts and emotions, it feels secure. after all, internet people aren't real.

i watched juno again today. its a good film. really good actually. i didn't realise ellen page is also the girl from hard candy. that's pretty sweet. she has this huge acting range. its nice to see good things for a change. 

hmm.

i'm feeling reflective, but now all of a sudden, i don't feel so safe sharing this online. i'll leave it at this i think. bye guys x 

i hate shakespeare.
actually hate him.
if i could bring him back from the dead, i'd give him a good, hard punch in the face for what he's put me through. i'm sure there about 9 million people out there who disagree with me. so to you guys, i apologize. but i really have tried, and i just can't warm to his plays.
this is spurred on by the fact i have an a level english exam in abooouttttt 2 and a half hours.
the first question being one on king lear, by said jerk.
heyho.
2 more exams and its over til results day. 
and then i have to sort out january retakes, because lord knows i haven't got the grades this time to scrape me into a uni. so its a good job i wasn't planning on going to uni this time round.

anyways.

i gotta go get ready.

see ya guys.
