Wow it's scary. I don't like being 17. It sounds too grown-up. But hey ho, I got some awesome presents out of it. And I know that isn't the right attitude, but it's true.
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, all three people who read this. I have been superly busy being in Paris, and then being asleep, and then turning 17, and watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (twice) and sleeping some more, and eating chocolate, and watching Twilight with the audio commentary (don't ask), and reading, and listening to Taylor Swift, and getting addicted to this YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/StarKidPotter (A Very Potter Musical is a must-see for Potter fans...but it will result in you laughing at very inappropriate moments during the film).
Oh, and I went shopping and bought books, even though I still have an ever-mounting pile next to my bed of books that I still need to read. And while I was in Paris, my English teacher phoned home and my parents had to go into school to pick up 'The Time-Traveller's Wife' which is our summer reading. If anyone's read it already, let me know what you thought. I haven't started it yet but I've heard that it's awesome.
My school officially broke up for the summer on Wednesday, but because I've been away so much, I sort of broke up two weeks ago. It's so strange just being in the house now, and not being constantly with my friends and having to socialise. Seriously, much as I love them all to pieces, it's nice to have a bit of a break. I'm going to spend this week tidying my room because it is a frickin' mess as always, looking through piles of university prospectuses and hopefully narrowing down a few courses, and trying to get someone (for 'someone', read 'anyone') to employ me. I seriously need the money, since September brings the start of a year's worth of eighteenth birthday presents. Also, I want to start saving up for LeakyCon 2011 sooner rather than later because, seriously, I refuse to miss it. I refuse.
I really need more Harry Potter friends. For real, I love the few I have and obviously I love my friends who aren't into Harry Potter, but not one of them is as psycho-obsessed as I am. As in, I casually brought up wizard rock in a conversation with one of my most dedicated HP friends and she just didn't understand the concept, even after much explaining. In the end, I just went "Oh forget it..." Do you see what I have to deal with? Do you???
And my one friend who properly gets the whole fandom thing is someone I won't see until September because we only hang out at orchestra rehearsals and stuff. Sad times.
Okay, this has been a really long and ranty blog...I'm sorry. My next one will just highlight the best moments of Berlin and Paris. And then the next one might talk more about books, because I have one or two recommendations to get off my chest.
Bye

PS - I am in no way affiliated with the StarKidPotter channel. I just think they are amazing. Check them out...maybe point them in the direction of this blog, maybe don't. But take a look because they are made of awesome. Thank you.

From Paris to Berlin.
Does anyone else remember that godawful song? That is my life. Except the wrong way round.
It is currently 21:08 and I have to be at school at 23:30 to catch a coach which will leave at 00:05. I have had very little sleep over the past few days because I've been in a very nice hostel in Berlin, and I suspect I will get even less over the next few days because rather than sharing a room with a couple of close friends, I will be sharing with pretty much my best friend in the world (I actually have a few throughout the different areas of my life, but Sarah's definitely one of them and fits into more than one area).
On the plus side, I'll be able to sleep on the coach there...once I've finished catching up with Sarah who I haven't seen for a week. And the Paris trip doesn't last as long as Berlin did - one day travelling, two days there, one day travelling back. And then it's my birthday on July 17th which I will probably sleep through and then actually celebrate properly on July 18th. I plan on seeing HP6 at least three times over my birthday weekend. And a lot of my friends are away for my actually birthday, so it will carry on being celebrated for a couple of weeks after it's happened. Which will be fun.
And then I plan on sleeping and deciding on unis and applying for jobs and stuff.
Sorry that this has been such a rambling entry...I don't what I was trying to achieve other than actually getting a blog out before I leave again.
Hope everyone has a good week and I'll write more when I'm home.

Auf Wiedersehen, Internet.
This will be my last blog post for a while (until Sunday, I believe).
I'm only home for like, a day between Berlin and Paris but I will try and update something on the day.
Oh my gosh, do you know that song 'Where is the Love?' by the Black Eyed Peas? Did you know Justin Timberlake sang on it? I didn't. I just found out on Radio 1 now. You learn something new every day.
Right, I've really got to go now...I have like, ten minutes before I have to leave the house for the station.

I'm a tad worried about going to Berlin now.
Seeing as how I speak not one word of German.
And because I'm in Berlin and then Paris literally straight after, I won't have Internet for about two weeks.
Which means (and this is going to sound really really sad) I will have a hell of a lot of YouTube videos to catch up on...my subscription box will be like, overflowing. And the blogs that I read...I'm going to be so behind!
And I won't get to talk to my only IRL friend who is into wizard rock and nerdfighting and stuff, so I won't get my recommended daily allowance of awesome from her.
Oh dear...
Anyways, there will be photos and whatnot when I get back. I am horribly aware that I haven't yet done a blog about London, but there is one to come, I promise.
Bye (for like, two weeks)

Okay...
I know that that last blog must have made me look like a big YouTube whore.
I'm not.
I was just quite proud of the video, because it's something completely different from the videos I normally make.
I have just got back from my LAMDA exam (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts...it's basically just an acting exam), which was okay. It could've been better, but it was alright. And there was a very nice boy there who was preparing for his exam tomorrow. He had glasses and hair and a tattoo and he was nice...good times
Alrighty, I'm going in the shower now because my hair is still in the braids I had to have for my dancing show. It is completely rigid with hairspray and hair grips. This should be fun...

It's really your choice.
But watching stuff is fun!
And it's only 1 minute 14 seconds.
