Drunken Tales and Inexplicable Bruises

Here's a little update on my life...I haven't posted in a while so I'll make it long one with a few pics added in as not to bore you! Well my parents are away at the moment so it's just me and my brother, it's nice to have a quiet house, but it's a bit of a drag having to cook plus I turn into the mum- telling my brother to wash up while I tidy the kitchen and do the washing :/ Bad I know, I think I've given up now, it's too much effort!

So anyway I took advantage of the fact the rents are away and had a few friends stay round last night. We all went out...when I say 'out' I don't mean anywhere exciting just cos y'know, we're 16, what much can you do? So we went to the woods just out of our town...I'll be honest with you, to get drunk :) Someone made a facebook group and invited half my year (only about 40/50 people went in the end, still quite a few though!) I always find these things really awkward at first, just cos I'm no good in big groups plus it's not really my close friends. (I'm a weird one, I kind of have 2 groups of friends- the good ones who don't drink and have friendly gatherings and BBQs in the daytime and then the not-so-good ones who get drunk, go to parties and generally take more risks. So I'm quite lucky cos I get a mixture of the two!)

Back to what I was talking about...yeah we all went to the woods and after a bit of awkwardness ended up drunk, talking to random people and generally having a laugh. I'm going to sound really sad now but I want to be honest....I really like being drunk. I really do, I can talk to whoever I want without giving a crap about what they think, I'm not worrying about who to talk to next or what time it is or what I look like. It's great! I spent most of the night laughing hysterically with people or just talking crap with randomers :L
I will admit I have had some bad experiences with alcohol before, but the goods outweigh the bads :) I wasn't too bad last night, I got quite angry at a lot of people telling them to fuck off etc. not for any reason! That's not like me so no one was offended, they know it's the booze talking :P I also got a bit upset...it's a long story but my hoodie got put on the campfire, I know what you're thinking "Jeez she has bad friends, why would you hang out with people who'd do that" but the person who did it didn't know it was mine and was drunk so I think it was an accident. Plus he send me a message today apologising so I'm not bothered, he's a nice guy :) Everyone else was lovely too, I think cos I was upset for a reason people were sympathetic, whereas normally girls just get drunk and cry so get no sympathy!
So we stumbled home at about 2am with a few guys (that makes me sound slaggy but they all insist on walking girls back and we had a laugh on the way) I ended up sitting on my garden wall, waiting for the others to catch up, with a random guy from a different school. We had quite a good conversation actually! Talked about how we both sleep walk/talk and gave each other advice on how we should have our hair! Haha, drunken conversations are the best :L
This morning I was a bit of a bitch to my friends :/I was hungover, tired after only 4 hours sleep, pissed off cos they wouldn't leave my house and I generally don't do mornings. So they didn't see me at my best!

Thanks for reading this story/rant/confession/rushed post(only cos I want some sleep!)

P.S Had my braces tightened today and some extra brackets put on=PAIN. It hurts almost as much as when I first got them. I took 5 paracetamols within a few hours and they had no effect -.- Rant over and out.

I Know where the Summer Goes

My typical childhood summer's day used to consist of a bike ride, a picnick and friends. A nice way to spend your time, well I think so. So seeing as none of us have any money but still need to get out the house we thought we'd do exactly that. The weather was shit and we only had a few hours but we got on our bikes (that rarely see the light of day) and cycled to the woods.

We got some weird looks from the dog-walkers and passers-by...the four of us sat in a bush eating raspberries, french bread and chocolate (we thought we should have some real food as we've been eating crap all week) But we had a nice time :)
I fell off my bike...I was fine, just laughed it off as per usual :L
So yes that was our summer's day...you might find it sad or weird that four 16 year old girls would want to ride bikes and have a picnick but we spend enough time worrying about what other people think so it's nice to just relax and do what we want for a bit.

How are you guys finding the summer so far? And sorry if you're still at school and I'm rubbing it in your face, I don't mean too!

Thanks for reading,

P.S. The title of this post is a song from Belle and Sebastian's album 'Push Barman to Open Old Wounds'- check it out, it's pretty good.

The Good Times Are Calling

I'll admit this post is a bit delayed but ahh well I thought I'd share my Thursday night with you :) Basically we went camping in the woods with a load of people from my year...

I'll be honest with you, it's not a great story, nothing interesting happened, I suppose it was quite surreal. We got there at about 7.30 and it was so awkward- you know at school when there are different groups that tend not to mix? Well it was a handful of people from each group so no one really knew who to talk to. Eventually, at about 10 o'clock, it got dark and most people had had quite a bit to drink so we all relaxed and started to come out of our shells :)

Apart from the odd drama of people getting too drunk or losing things nothing really happened! It was just a relaxed night, we sat around the campfire talking to a load of people we hadn't seen properly in a while, which was good. I like things like that where groups mix together and you end up speaking to people you never thought you'd be friends with :) Anyway, I went to bed at about 2.30 but didn't get any sleep. Everyone was so loud outside the tent, they were literally talking (and shouting) all night!

I got up at 4.30 (it was light at 4 so everyone was up) to help my friend find her shoes because some idiot had been throwing them round the night before. It was so surreal waking up in a wood with all the trees and the campfire still burning! We couldn't find the missing shoe so I went back to bed til 5.30 and managed to get a few minutes of sleep!

At 5.30 we all got up to pack up the tents and everyone was gone by 6.30. We waited for my friend's mum to bring her some shoes and then as most of us couldn't go home (because it was such a stupid time in the morning) we went and sat outside Tesco's for a bit. It's right next to our school so the teachers started arriving which was quite funny! I walked home at 8 and went straight to bed. I was so tired I didn't wake up until 3.30! My parents thought I'd snuck into bed in the middle of the night!

So yeah, it was a good night, I'm glad I went even if it wasn't the most exciting of evenings! I do love camping. Ok I didn't sleep, I had sticks in my back all night and I felt pretty shit in the morning but all in all we had a good time :D I think people are already planning to do it again...

Thanks for reading :)
