Yesterday was the Pride parade in Belfast. It was a really good day, except for a bit of heavy rain in the middle of it all… I was there with Amnesty International; to be honest I think if I hadn’t had work to do all day I’d have been bored.

I had been last year, but due to some friends and their affection for alcohol I didn’t see much because I had to look after them. But that’s another story.

( GAAAAAY! )

w00t. Possibly pictures later.

Awesome day... went to see Oppenheimer at Zavvi, an instore gig thingy. Dragged along my mate who's in crutches :) she seemed to enjoy it though. I'm tired now, actually...but I do love that band, their music's so darned awesome it makes me smile just thinking about it.

The annoying thing is that the peeps on the train don't believe I'm 15, so I can't get a half fare (under 16) until I get a proof of age card. The peeps at the cinema don't believe I'm 15 so I can't get in to see movies, not that I really go much anymore... Can anyone enlighten me as to wtf is going on? Or has this always been going on and I haven't noticed?

Awk well. Bonny went back to the vet's today, they're keeping her overnight, might have some obstruction in her tummy. Poor thing.

Got ideas for a zine when I was biking (?), would be pretty ramshackle though...

I didn't get into the drama project I auditioned for. I was pretty miserable for about half an hour, but really...it's ok. I've now got three extra weeks that would've been chock-full of rehearsals and goodness knows I might've been miserable anyway by the end of it. By the looks of things, now I might be able to hold down a summer job, have time to go on long bike rides, go out with friends, sleep in if I want to...just do stuff really. I mean, I think Kildare would've been amazing, but I've got 2 definite summer schemes lined up...maybe that's enough for now.

And...it's time to use the summer tag again! Yesssss :D

LOLZ. Yesterday was weird, because I had something to do with blunt-force head trauma which meant I was crying like a mad woman, and trying to be sick...this was early yesterday morning. My parents are practically saints, as annoying as they can be, they're good at, you know, being parents. And last night I had the same symptoms again - excruciating headache whenever I lay down - so I had to sleep sitting up again =/

Ehm...went to some kind of Wood Sculpture exhibition at Greenmount Campus (agricultural college) yesterday. Was pretty mind numbing, but I saw Ashleigh from UAYD so I was happyyy. Turns out she'd been 'coerced' into going as well. Brightened up my day. 

*sighs* I need some good books to read. Particularly crime novels, I'm going through a phase =3 I adore Carl Hiaasen, he's awesome - he's got a particular style of writing that's so addictive, describing everything, and even giving the most minor characters a sense of personality.

I've just been given some blank index cards... from a good friend of my mother's, en route to a charity shop. She put her donations in a bag from a lingerie shop. She's got some nerve!

Hrm. Bank Holidays = Nothing To Do. I think I might get as much stuff as possible ready for school today so I don't have to think about it much until Wednesday night, gives me Tuesday stress-free, hopefully.

Ahh today was incredible. Took loads of photos, got people's emails, danced a lot...and performed, in between all that.

I do feel a little bit empty now, though. After we took a bow and exited stage right, we went back to the workshop space/makeshift dressing room. And got our stuff. That was it. It was a bit weird.

The audience really enjoyed it, which was cool. Made it all worthwhile. I nearly messed up my lines, but my character's supposed to have a stammer, anyway. Hopefully going back next year. So I've added it to the list of 'Things I Want To Do Next Summer.'

Hoo. That's a while away.

<3

Second day on a Drama Course at the Arts Centre. It's pretty good fun, but I'm really nervous about the performance on Saturday...saying that, I have only got two lines, one of which is a 'What?' in response to someone mumbling something about an old man 'showing you his willy' (actual quote). The character I play is a small-for-his-age teenager called Brian, who spends a lot of the play crying, and everyone hates him except maybe...one person.

:(

That hit hard *sniffles* I bet you he had glasses and skin problems too =P

I don't particularly want to go back to school =/ Last year was just so...not unpleasant, really, just awkward, for the most part. Like we were all making the transition from small kids to...I don't know, acceptable people. And our class just got stuck in the middle somewhere, and most of the teachers lost it at some point. I do think it will be nicer than last year, because for the most part I will be doing classes I have a major interest in. I suppose IT, Journalism, Art, French, Home Ec, English, and Biology equals a reasonable (if not mostly awesome) timetable, punctuated by bursts of maths, and PE - the Chemistry and Physics classes could be good or bad, depending on which teacher I'm landed with. =3

I also hope my classmates are nice, too. Most people know me as the nerd from the stupid class, but...yeah. Hell, if I don't get badgered incessantly so I replace the need to use a dictionary...I guess I'd be pleased. Don't think that's gonna happen, but I can hope!
