I LOVE THAT FILM. It's Pitch Perfect for you strange people that haven't watched it and it is hilarious. I love it. Lots.
Anyway, today has been a great day. It is results day, well, the end of it in the UK. Usually I would be going out drinking and celebrating but as my mates from school didn't really get anything together until the last moment and Ptown people didn't invite me out (fair dos's) I am blogging you excellent folks.
I'll stop the suspense that I'm building and let you all know that I had As in Music, English and R.E and a B in History today so I am fucking ecstatic!! I thought I was going to fail Hisory so, lovely surprise.
But to all of you who didn't get the grades you wanted. it's not the end. I know it's easy to say this because I'm coming back for Year 13 but recently I've come to understand that. Well. Even though something is ending and it absolutely breaks your heart, something good can come of it. So hold on in there, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
My epiphany about things ending and resulting in new beginnings didn't just occur to me in the middle of the night, it happened at my last Hucklow Youth event. It was a week of being with people I love and trust the most in the world but it was also my last. I have 2 more weekends with them left but, they become a bit of a rush and as soon as you really fall back into place you're pulled apart to go home again.
3 years ago myself and 2 of my mates were sitting on swings thinking about how in 3 years time it would be our last FDA (this week long event) but we just pushed it to the back of our mind.
And then this year, it happened.
I didn't even feel it creep up on me, but then I re-call the last 6 years. These youth events have shaped my life and well, not spending a week with these people? Questioning the point in my existence was often on my mind.
But at the end of the last night 3 friends and I lit tealights leading outside and to a bonfire where we roasted marshmallows with everyone and some people played guitars and it was beautiful. And here I realised that nothing was ending. This was just the beginning. We were growing up to become the people who would lead these events, the people who would carry the flame for younger generations to flourish and discover who they are and that, for three times a year they have a safe haven to laugh and cry uncontrollably.
It's never the end.
Speaking of laughing uncontrollably, I yet again spent the weekend before with CrazyLady. We went on an amazing charity shop haul and made up nameds for a new person who we thought would be good looking (oh EdCha) and we watched LOADS of Torchwood. I love Torchwood now.
But we also decided that we would have a planned capsize when we went canoeing on the Wednesday.
CrazyLady, TeaBrewer and I were all in an indian canoe. We were playing a game with everyone else where we had to throw a ball between our team and at one point the ball dropped about a metre away from our canoe. For some reason CrazyLady thought 'Oh, I can reach this!' Afterwards she said 'I knew we were about to capsize when my face was in the water and I thought, "oh shit" ' We then had to spend 20 minutes doing a team rescue and defying the laws of physics as DaveTheWanker decided that everyone needed to chip in and help us. Sigh.
AND THEN
DaveTheWanker told us that it was possible to stand on the sides of the canoe (all 3 of us) and so, obviously, we did.
Hahahahahah no.
No we didn't. I kinda half stood up and then CrazyLady went 'shiiit' and we both sat down abruptly but TeaBrewer evidently thought 'ABANDON SHIP!' And jumped out. Quite gracefully as well may I add. And then FOR SOME REASON I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND CrazyLady also jumped out of the canoe. She was behind me and she took the canoe with her so at one moment I was happily in my seat and the next I was under the canoe. it was horrible. And hilarious. I love them.
Today, for the first time since I can remember KitchenCrusader has had to work late. It's horrible. It's one of the only nights where I really want him home yano? I want to cuddle him and laugh with him and be a family. So I just wanted to say, hug your parents. They're not going to be here forever. Think of those people who's parent/s may be fighting for our country. Those little children who go to sleep without a goodnight kiss because their parents are working in hospitals, helping people to fight for their lives. If KitchenCrusader was here right now I would be hugging him. Just, just do it.
So, in short notes. I'm ridiculously excited for Reading Festival with my girls. I love uploading 4 pictures 1 word/film/song games onto my kindle. I am head over heels in love with boyfriend and I don't even care who knows and I want to be with him all the time. I've eaten so many take aways lately it is crazy. Englsh water is still absolutely foul.
Get drunk you people with results, celebrating or comiserating, we all look the same in the dark.
I'm still loving these girls, I always will do, peace out motherfuckaaaaaas!
