Random Animalistic Gathering

I thought I'd share my week with you, in a long, picture heavy post :) But don't let that put you off, these photos took me bloody ages to find and put together! Even if you don't read it all just look at the pretty pictures :) I tried to keep people's faces out of them just because they don't know they're on this blog, that's the reason for the cut-off eyes and backs of people's heads! There are a few faces but they're people I know would be happy to be on here :)

So anyway, this week was 'Rag Week' at my school. I've posted about it before but in case you didn't see- basically we dress up everyday to raise as much money as possible for charity :)

Monday- It was a Cowboys and Indians theme, the majority of people wore jeans and a checked shirt with the odd cowboy hat or headdress! I was boring and went for a shirt and plaited my hair :) Pictures below: top left- arm wrestling competition- basically we watched the boys being overly competitive and earning man-points! Other pictures are of the better costumes :)

Tuesday- Fictional Characters theme and the slave trade (labour trade to be PC). People volunteer to be a slave for the day and groups bid to buy them- one slave was bought for £90 which is pretty good! They then have to obey every command eg. carrying bags, dancing on tables, being painted on etc. Some of the things went way too far like having to lick mayonnaise off each other and other things I won't mention on here :/ There were some good costumes though, I was Daphne from Scooby Doo :)
Pics: Top- Simba & Pikachu, Slave Auction, Bottom- Crowds watching the slaves, Daphne, Minnie Mouse and a wolf!

Tuesday night- it was our first of four sixth form parties :) We had such a good time, we all got wristbands for the bar on entry as they just said 'Are you 18?' so obviously we lied and didn't get IDed haha! The theme was 'P'- I went as a Paratrooper (That's me in my black vest and army headband!) Other costumes were Pink Ladies, Pacman, Pirates, Policemen, Ping Pong Players, Pussycat Dolls etc. The outfits were great!

Wednesday was brilliant but horrible. Everyone was so hungover and in our case still drunk :/ But it was pyjama day so that made it a bit better! It was hilarious seeing a whole school of hungover people walking to school in dressing gowns and trackies! For obvious reasons there weren't many pictures but here are the few I could find...

Thursday- It was Beach Party day which was absolutely ridiculous for the middle of October! The general trend was wearing nice warm woolly clothes with a random flower garland on top, but a few people went all out with grass skirts and Hawaiian shirts...

Friday- The last day and a pretty good theme- Superheroes :) Most people had given up by now and just wore a mask or some pants over their jeans :P It was also the talent show which wasn't great, apart from the teacher's band!
Pics: Top- Superheroes, Batman, Bottom- People off 'That Mitchell and Webb Look' apparently and right- me and the girl who was supposed to be an incredible too- poor effort!
I won't bore you any longer with more ramblings, thanks so much for reading or just looking at the photos!

The Party Don't Start 'til We Walk In

Where do I start? I've got so much to talk about! I think I'll do a few posts to break it up a bit, starting with prom last Friday. Apologies for calling it 'prom' I know that's really American but anything else is just cheesy so prom it shall be :)

I was never really too fussed about it to be honest but I think once you start organising it, it's easy to get carried away! So after getting my hair done and doing my make up I went to my friend Katie's house, with 7 other girls, for drinks and photos. It was quite funny with all the proud parents there! My dad's a photographer so he took the two below- posed and awkward but quite nice all the same :)

Above- The girlies :) Katie, Chloe, Heather, Me, Abi, Ffion, Jordan, Chaz

Yes we did get a limo :/ None of us were particularly into the idea but it turned out to be the best part of the whole night! We'd all had a bit to drink (when I say this I mean we downed as much champagne as possible when the rents weren't there!) so had a little party on the way. When we got to the venue we all stumbled out of the car with Ke$ha blaring out the windows...good times :)

Above- Abi, Ffion and me. One of the only decent pictures of me, in all the others I'm either talking/dancing/eating or pulling some stupid face.

One of the many photos. I regret buying a strapless dress- it stayed in place but I hated having my shoulders bare and I felt really self conscious.

But I will admit- prom was a rave. It was actually really fun, most people had been drinking and although the food was shit it was an awesome night. One girl was really drunk and threw up everywhere including on my leg but luckily it didn't get my dress :) The picture above sums up the dance floor, it was pretty mental with a few mosh pits but really good music. Some of the teachers were dancing too :L

All in all a pretty good night followed by an amazing weekend...more on that in the next post :P

Thanks for reading,
