this song is a song and it starts with a D

if you're clever or cool enough to recognize what the title of this post is from then well done you

I won't be posting til Thursday or Wednesday night because tomorrow I'm going to sEE THE CRIBS WITH GEORGE and i'm very excited but i don't listen to them much so i'm gonna try and dance very hard and get drunk maybe. Then on Monday I get the train to George's house which is 100 miles away from here but not very far from Newcastle (where the gig is).
Thursday was day from hell and I had to go into school to collect my AS results and I passed everything but didn't do AS well as i hoped for but whatever all I have to do is work my butt off this year, which i'm sure as heck gonna do.
I worked today and yesterday and got paid more than I was hoping for and now i'm just talking about rubbish.

Art, as a subject in schools, is something i really worry about and it fucking pisses me off. I've been doing art for three years and 'cause of the shitty grade I came out with this year I'm having to drop it. It's like impossible to pick up and make into a decent A or B. Art teachers like to tell students they have a broad outlook on all types of art but really that's bullshit and at the end of the day unless you do fine art (drawing, painting, watercolour, oil paints etc) you're fucked. I know some people who are pretty talented at art and I'm so glad they've gotten the grade they've wanted but I mean I'm pretty pissed. If I work my butt off for one whole year to come out with what I did then just i dunno. Maybe it'sjust my school and I don't know what others feel about it but even at GCSE I thought I got pretty mugged off; grading no higher than a C by the end of year eleven. 

I'm not good at drawing OR painting but i am good at concepts and combining ideas, installation and I'm good at printing. I mean I created a piece of work sometime last year and my teacher sat infront of me and looked me in the eye and said "it's basically rubbish Rachel".

How the fuck can you tell someone their ART work is rubbish, it's fucking ART, there's nothing technical about it. You can't classify my work as rubbish; it's your opinion, even though it's still full of shit.

It's just bullshit.

Spring Green but it's not even spring

Ok so today I met up with my friend Georgia who i haven't even seen since my birthday last November!
Her boyfriend and her picked me up from my house to drop her an I off in town and we basically spent the day being massive galz n it was super cute
Like I've been trying to get more into make-up and she's fucking spot on with that area
It's also kind of handy because I'm way more into clothing and fashion so she asks me to help her out which is cute
I had to pick up some powder because I'm running low and I just so happened to "run into" (purposely walk past because I have no self control), the Barry M stand and I picked up the most gorgeous green colour

Barry.M Nail Paint in the colour Spring Green - £2.99

Pressed Powder - Collection, £1.99

Make-up Removing Wipes - Skin Therapy, £1.20

Ok whatever I know wipes are just wipes but I have been in desperate need for make-up removing wipes for an absolute age and if I end up having an allergic reaction to them I'll scream, so I'll come back to you

(at this point my boyfriend rang and we stayed on the phone so long that it was too late for me to bother to finish the post so now it's Sunday, hi)

Ok so last night I tried out the wipes whilst removing my make-up and I am disappointed with the moisture...
They aren't that wet
like, so they do't feel that effective
but I only had to use one so i'll see
I also had a real fun time when i got back from town organizing my room (ish)
I have a messily tidy bedroom, i have so so much junk and random objects and I just collect the most amount of stuff and to ME it's organised but to everyone else it looks messy, so i sorted it out a little
And by 'sort out' i mean i put all my 7" records in a shoe box separate from my 12"....

My record collection is too big considering i don't even listen to 70% of them and it's pretty stupid

But I refuse to sell any or give any away or loan any

i won't even let anybody touch my turntable unless they use a record player at home

If anybody scratches any of my records all hell will break loose on them

Have a cool day
