Vivid dreams and a superiority complex (a.k.a boring post)

It's only 10:10pm and I'm so tired yet again (when am I not?), and yet again, like many times over these past few weeks the thought of going to bed actually makes me really nervous. So tonight like most nights I'll probably still be up in the early hours of the morning pacing up and down the living room. But anyway, the reason I'm telling you this is because over the past few weeks I've been having more and more random dreams and actually remembering them!

Last week I ran through and up a huge towering building that seemed to have been devastated by some sort of explosion. Why was I running? Because a big fucking elephant was threatening to rip my insides out. Yes, the elephant could talk. I feel a bit sorry for the guy in my dream though, I'm guessing the guy was a friend, the face was a blank so sorry if it was anyone reading this. You died. But it was pretty much your fault anyway, you shouldn't have been heckling the crazy, homocidal (and really fucking huge) elephant in the first place. I only just managed to wake myself from the dream before the elephant could work out where I was hiding. The following day I went into town with my friends from college to look at the german markets, I completely freaked out when I saw a set of wooden elephants. Was that bastard of an elephant taunting me?

This week I dreamt about going back to L.A to see some sort of event with my older sister Harriet, my brother Christopher and our friend Cath. I was really pissed off. The event was on the sunday but Harriet was forcing me to take Christopher on the thursday to L.A. I was even more pissed off because it was infact thursday! So it ended up with me rushing to get plane tickets and head down to the airport. I remember waking up really angry.

And last night I had a dream that my mother came upto me with what looked like cockroaches all over her face. She told me they were special 'spot bugs'. You apparently put them on your body and they eat away at your spots leaving you zit free! At first I was reluctant to put the bugs on my face. (I'd never put any bugs on my face willingly) So my mum put one on my face. I won't lie to you, it scared me. But all of a sudden I started feeling really tired and at the same time I worried about falling to sleep with this bug on my face. Eventually I gave in and awoke to find no bug. It probably climbed into my head through my ear as soon as my eyes shut and is now making love to my brain.

I really need to get out more.

Love, Charlotte.

Hello everyone,

I hope that you are all well. I just wanted to share that horrible video with you. You'll see how stupid Italian ads are, this is awfully hilarious. I just can't stop to laugh, and on the other hand, I can't stop to think that it is ... sad. Well, enough said, here is the monstrous thing :

PS : Sorry, I made you lose 2 minutes and 16 seconds of your life.

"right guys, who wants to dress as a tranny?"

Hello blog readers (other chodesters). Here is a quick update of things that have happened and will happen:

- Senior Dance is December 11th, in other words, two weeks today! Eek!

- Sins of Love (aka KP, VW, MF) had a Mystery Jets dance party in the kitchen last Saturday.

- The Futureheads next Tuesday and Wednesday. I think I might be street-teaming for Wednesday's show...

- Tomorrow night Ru (that's Robyn's baby name) and I are going to celebrate 30 years of Grease at G12 cinema. Dressing up is allowed! Hooray!

- In about half an hour Nelson's Island Vibration will meet up and have a "band meeting" to discuss the release of the EP. Exciting stuff!

- Also, this time next month it will be 2 days after Christmas. I will have already partied on down in Manchester and had a party on Christmas day with Rebecca and Yusra too. I think that deserves another hooray...hooray!

- I'm terribly happy as 2 of my grades from the exams in May of this year have been upgraded to the top mark. This is good!

I don't have much else to say so, over and out

- Vonny

i usually check

went to the shops and came back left my phone on the chair had a drink of tea and had something to eat.
my phone goes off, i look at it and i notice 2 text messages.
ones off my grandma and ones off my dad both telling me my aunty is getting rushed to hospital.
So i reply to both and get a responce of my aunty is being rushed from ashton all the way up here to the hospital round the corner from mine.

she has a blockage in a tube going into her kidney, they found it when she went for a scan at her local hospital and she got rushed here.
I dont know what i am to do, should i go and see her or wait till i know whats happened and wait till she is okay then visit her....

:S


anyway there is nothing i can do so i had better keep out of the way. my mum saw this coming in her cards but didnt tell me; as soon as i told her she said i saw it coming i knew there was a illness coming and then ran off to do her cards again to see what happens, apparently mums cards said everything is going to be fineee!


anyway
get better aunty!

I loved you first

Hope this finds you in good stead brothers and sisters,

Sooooooo, um, I'm wondering if anyone would like to accompany me to Brighton in the February half term (13-23?) to look at the Uni? I never put myself out like this (not like that!) but I'd really like some company, as nobody else I know going to Uni finds Brighton attractive..?
And since there has been some talk of going there sometime, it seems like the ideal opurtunityyy??? I'm not thinking of spending however long I go for, staring at the Uni, I would very much like to do some "sightseeing" and make it a proper little excursion...I haven't finalised accomodation etc yet but just as a rough plan mubee, possibly, yes? Pllllllllllllllllllleeeeease?

Winchester have said I can come along to their place if I am a very good girl and get 300 UCAS points, so I could get in with ABC in my A levels? Not too shabby! I will take off my shoes before I go inside, promise.

I'm up up and away to see Portico Quartet tonight. They're awesuuuuum. Go & listen to their classically jazzy experimental music soon, yeah?

Tomorrow i am in town and then the week after at a PARTAYYYYYY.

erm
not much to update on sorry

the long and winding road

Today I got my first sniff of University acceptance.
York have "acknowledged" my application and I should hear whether they want a bit of Mary Machin in their town soon enough, along with the rest.
I still don't have a clue where I want to go. Do I go with the Southern/London connection option, i.e. Winchester/Brighton? Or do I stay at home? Or do I go with the Glasgae option, friends/family/cheaper fees?...And then there's York which is neither far nor near.
Eep.
I'll keep you posted.

Besides this I would like to burn my copy of Enduring Love. Bah bah and bah.
I'm most undoubtedly looking forward to next Friday :))))

won't you shut the fuck up.

as some of you might know nelson's island vibration have been taking a bit of a break from rehearsing and such. what with cat's new job at gap and cassie's fro to be tamed we've not really had much time. but soon we will be back in the studio and releasing some fresh jamz for all you amazing fans out there. thank you for being patient with us, we're trying to get the record finished as quickly as possible so we can get back to playing gigs.  

i spoke to cass recently and she said she was writing an art review for some magazine, so keep your eyes peeled for that. she also celebrated her birthday last week so we're all going out soon for that. cat went out last thursday to see the wombats (with the incredible golden silvers supporting, seriously they are wonderful) and as far as i know she's still stalking davo from starbucks.

on a more personal note my downstairs neighbours have been drilling and hammering and that ALL WEEKEND (that's not a euphemism) and they're still going.  i've taken today off because after celebrating the fulham victory a little too much my stomach went into meltdown. i will never drink coca cola again. 

also, i've been listening loads to stephen fry reading paddington bear. it's fucking amazing. i wish he was my great uncle or something, he's such a legend.

but anyway, here's a recent press shot of us lot. you'll see what i mean about cassie's fro. (ignore how cold i am.)

till next time, take care!

now i know what heartache is.

maccabees - rob = despair.

i feel sick. i've already cried. i don't know what to say or think.

"...we were given free at the store."

ght I could post this. This is so amazing... Enjoy !

Dreaming of you

By 'you' I mean 'Future Chinchilla'. I really, really wish I had a pet Chinchilla. I always wanted one when I was younger aswell as wanting Mice and Chipmunks. I was never allowed Mice because we had cats and my mum always said that chipmunks were smelly. I never mentioned these animals again. That was until Brad lent me House season 4 a few days ago. For some reason, Chinchillas started popping into my head and then I started looking at pictures.

Check this one I found on flickr from this account:

I know, I know. It's fucking adorable. I love how fat/chubby they are. Anyway, back to House. House and these Chinchillas got me thinking; wouldn't it be incredible to sit up and watch episodes of House and Law & Order: SVU with my own Chinchilla?! We could sit up and watching back to back episodes of House, SVU, Gilmore Girls and maybe even a bit of CSI.

Maybe when I eventually move out I'll get myself a Chinchilla...

Love Charlotte

FUCKING GEEK BITCH

Just because your not as cool/popular as me!
:)

okay so today i had 2nd lesson just before break i had french, my friend Lucy kept bugging the teacher by asking her how to spell many things in french. As a result of this, miss just started to ignore her, so instead she got me to ask miss the questions. Now for those people that know me you will know i am not exactly tall, okay so i am smaller than average height i think (no comments needed on the subject!). Lucy wanted to know how to say 'i am still growing' in french and got me to ask miss, so miss said my name and i told her i wanted to know how to say 'i am still growing' in french and the whole class was laughing but i didn't mind i was laughing too, UNTIL....



some fucking slag faced geek turned round and said 'what outwards or upwards?!?!' the whole class suddenly stopped laughing and stared at the fucking hoe, then on e of the boys that sit in front of her turned round and called her a bitch and some others were like ' your not going to just sit back and take that are you Sherri' i just shrugged it off and got back to doing my work.

BREAK TIME:
so we all sat down at the table me Lucy and jasmine told Vicky and Georgia what had happened and they were going crazy, saying stuff about her and totally angry. Vicky then told someone from her tech about it and the girl went over to speak to the hoe bag that had said what she did in french. Later on the slag came over and apologised to me saying she didn't realise she had 'hurt my feelings' WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULDN'T FEEL OFFENDED BY THAT! and said she realised after she had said it, it was the wrong thing to say, so then Vicky turned round to her and asked her why she said it in the first place if she knew it was harsh. Our conclusion was that she was never going to say sorry because in her mind it was still funny but she had to come over and say something because someone had gone over to her table and told her it was a bit on the harsh side.....


so my question is why did it take her nearly 20 mins to figure out what she had said was wrong, and to make matters worse she was only sat on the table next to me too!

anyway i have another proverb photo to do
fun fun fun

http://flickr.com/photos/shedrinkswhisky/sets/72157608972354342/

i would also like to day well done to Vicky and Von on there first 365 days photo the were both very nice and good luck!

day 1 of 365.

so i started my 365 days. click the picture.
sorry it's crap blahblah.

names

so i am sat at home its 7.48 am, i am usually on the bus down to vickys now but instead i am sat at home on the sofa watching a movie called 'savages' it doesnt seem that bad at the moment.
Today i woke up to a splitting head ache, sore stomach and bad ancle, so mum said i could stay off; well infact she just muttered 'what coursework havent you done then' and went back to sleep so i took it as a 'yes you can stay off my little one and get better'

recently people have been refering to me as SHEZ which is what i used to be known as in primary school, its just strange that two people who have never met both decide at the same time, to call me this, those two people are charlotte and my mums friend mo.

TODAY i am officailly starting my each letter of the alphabet thing to do with proverbs on flickr today, and i think coxys doing it too. Victorias and my idea was to get em and coxy to do the same proverbs each day so that we can see what others peoples own interpretations are of it, but last night i thought it doesnt really matter what order they are done is aslong as we do the same sayings....

I looked at my watch....it was Obama time.

Awwww man! What is it with college and letting people come in at 10:30am only to find they're free until 3pm? They deceive you into thinking that frees are a.m.a.z.i.n.g. they are not. Do not be fooled. It's not like I can even go home nowwww.
I went to see the great Emmy The Great yesterday at The Deaf Institute last night. That venue is kerrazy, it's like a miniature auditorium with a balcony, and has wicked ass wallpaper! As an added bonus to Miss Moss I also got to see Ric Hollingberry, a member of Pengilly's, a definite find of '08. He is suuuuuuch a sweetie!!!
As for Emmy, I can only say the same, she was amazing live too, obviously! It's a pretty good thing if you find it completely endearing that she doesn't know the words to her own songs <3
The support band Blue Roses are also worth looking up, although it's only Laura Groves on the myspace atm. OH! And there was an innnncredible Obama CD playing! I need to find out where it's at!

over&out, Maryxxxx
ps. ONCE AGAIN my internet has decided to go on Holiday. Whaaaaat.

FUCK YES!

SHERIDANS PLANS

Right i have been on the buses quite a bit this week: school, Ashton and town. (I like to think of buses as a piece of transport that lets you have time to sit and think about everything whilst on the move.)

So all last week i decided to start thinking about the two months ahead of me, how it can all turn bad depending on what miss griffin says and the build up towards crimbo. Every year i leave Christmas shopping to the last min, (literally!) and this year will be no different even though i would like it to be. I was hoping that this time next month i would be well into working in a little shop of some sort, have some money and have a bank account with a card so i can buy a few of The Answering Machine songs on itunes but i have had no luck on the subject.


Okay so here's my thoughts whilst have been on the bus:
who needs a Christmas present?
how much should i spend on them?
how will i get the money for any presents family and friends; dad?
what should i get them?
if it needs to be posted when does it need to be posted by?
when have i got time to go Christmas shopping really?
whens the enemys new album out, what if its not out in time for crimbo, will my dad like the new kings of leon album, has he got it without me knowing (if so he is a gimp)?
how will i have a good Christmas if i have to spend it sewing like i work in a sweat shop?
when will i have time to revise for my gcses and mocks if i have to do my frickin sewing crap?
will my grandma do my tech for me?
and finally....
why has my name suddenly appeared on the cooking Christmas dinner list, which i never knew existed?


anyway today i have to do some filming in tescooooooooo for our media project great!
My new uncle was saying he got kicked out of tesco just for walking around filming his mate shopping, so what are they going to do to use when they see us walking down isles talking about anorexia and diet pills.


much love

This shit is bananas.

So I don't think I've blogged for a while. I'm going to do this in handy bullet point form because I'm too lazy to type anything.

- Firstly and most importantly: WELL DONE AMERICA. Finally, we get that idiot out of the White House! As my friend Nigel said "from Kunta Kinte to Barack Obama. Who would have thought it".

- I've gotten really into football recently, I think it's my father's influence. He drew me out diagrams of the pitch and explained everything so now I can watch it AND understand it which equals maximum enjoyment. I can see why people love it.

- My new favourite film is Les Chansons d'amour. WATCH IT. It's fucking amazing and really quite beautiful (and that's just the lead actor). 

- Philosophy is becoming more interesting...and more difficult. Currently we're studying Epistemology ('how can we ever really know anything?') and Descartes. Also Utilitarianism, Kantianism and Artistotle's Virtue Ethics. It's so interesting and although it's hard (and sometiems slightly boring) I'm really starting to get it.

- I started Social Dancing at school today. Callum was my partner and there were about 100 of us in the games hall. At the very end of the class big Donaldson (a PE teacher) pointed at the two of us and made us dance right in the MIDDLE of the hall. In front of EVERYONE. Never been so embarrassed/laughed so much in my life.

That's me finished, see ya later, ciao bella!

- Vonny x

EDIT: Oh my god! Everyone needs to listen to the Foals cover of Hollaback Girl. I have had it on repeat. It's amazzzzzing.

younger boys older girls

Two of my friends told me they didn't like Nelson Mandela today (not a race thing!). This is like blaspheme to me as my mother found out she was pregnant with me before my parents went to one of his talks in April 1990. Factual.

read: A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.
look at: Chess pieces. They're awesome.
listen to: Choir of Young Believers. He's awesome.
dislike (cos hate's a strong word): soggy bread.
love: that first breath of cold air you get in the morning when you leave the house/flat.

xxx mary

so as i am sat here typing this i am watching hollyoaks and cooking my tea.
i have decided to do a month of photos on flickr based on the theme of famous commonly used proverbs so if you can think of any tell me!


HOLLYOAKS IS SOOO SAD :'(


sherrix

help, i need somebody...

it's been a while since i've blogged. actually it's not been as long as it has for charlotte though. i'm so tireeeeed. i have a headache too, so i just had some chocolate but that didn't help and i've got loads of work to be doing but i've not even had chance yet. i need to sort some kind of time table out because i need to manage all my coursework, revision for re-sits, trying to get through each history lesson without breaking down and then just walking out because of how shitty it is, it's so boring...painting and selling jumpers and stuff for mine and charlottes clothing company thing, and i need to start revising for all my mocks which are in december, what a nice build up to christmas they give us! :( oh well. as my friend georgia would say, "Life's a bitch and then you die" Lovely.

but to end it on a sort of good note, i'm starting the whole 365 photo thing again, and i'm going to do it this time, Charlottes doing a 365 doodle-a-day too so we can keep each other going! I have an idea for my first one, but i think from after that i'll either be asking for words that i could do a photo relating too, OR i'll be putting my iTunes on shuffle and doing a photo related to the song name/any word in the song that comes up first...should be easier that way and a bit more exciting for me.

Que the tumbleweed

Seems there has been a lack of posts on this here blog. I'm going to change that right now.

I'm sat here writing a completely boring essay on sculptures. So instead of boring you with sculpture details, I'll you about a really weird but short dream I had.

The whole dream was made up of a mix of black and green colours. There was a man standing at the edge of a deep pond like river which was completely black but moving rapidly. The sides of the river were covered in tall grass. All of a sudden you hear a splash and when you look the man has fallen into the river. Then all of a sudden he stands up out of the water which you now realise only comes upto his knees. But as he stands you see that he's covered in what I can only describe as fleas, all over his body. You can only see his eyes. Then out of nowhere these dragonfly like insects rise up out of the grass and fly towards him. At first you're completely shocked as you think they are attacking him as they swarm all over his body. As they fly away from his body you then see that they've eaten all of these black insect like creatures off him, and the man just stands there still, in the river, staring at his hands in what can only be described as amazement.

Then it ends.


Did I ever mention I have a really bad phobia of insects?

Love Charlotte
