So, after all the waiting, all the adrenaline, all those intensive revision sessions (ahem!), it's finally time to reveal my results and...
THEY WERE GOOD! 4 A*'s and 7 A's. I got the A* in History which I wanted more than any of the others, the A I needed in Maths and a surprise A* in Biology which makes me kind of sad not be taking it. Everyone has been so sweet sending my congratulations messages; even the guy my dad works with. I'm really revved up for next year now: less subjects, smaller classes, harder lessons.... I think it'll be good. Weird (especially with people leaving and stuff) but good.
And, the best news, my reward is a shiny new MacBook. I say new as if I had an old one rather than wishing I had one since they were invented. But I don't care. So, that might be sorted by the weekend or even before! I can't wait; and I love my parents for buying it for me.
Breaking Dawn... well, I wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I think Bella as a vampire was done really well and it was so much easier to read the stuff written from Jacob's point of view. But... something about it didn't feel like the other books. I think that maybe in the time it's taken for this one to come out, I've lost my drive for it, and there was nothing of the fire from the other books to get me back. So, good; but glad it's the last one.
What else? Saw Hellboy 2: The Golden Army with Charlotte, Ed and Alex (who fell asleep half-way through). The best bit of the whole movie was the guy behind us repeating a joke to himself and laughing at it again. Classic! Oh, and kitten! Charlotte found a day old kitten and it's tiny and perfect and amazingly small! Found in a Barbie doll's hair under some kitchen units! So, spent at lot of time going 'aw!' about that! Had a 12 year old girl day yesterday at Alex's where I also watched some horrendous Fox News clips... tut tut.
GAY UPDATE: Sweet Nuke reference to first kiss and they are kissing a lot now, sweet Ollian episodes with sitting in the bath (with clothes on!) and jumping each other on the sofa and such like. I even didn't mind the Roman and Deniz clips and I usually hate them. So it's been a great week. And even thought JP & Kieron have hardly been on, HOLLYOAKS is my pick again. And why? Because Craig is coming back. And they have sex. And Kieron dies. And the video spoiler has only 30 second of clip and they don't even speak to each other and I am so excited I may burst... so, I'm sorry but impending Sunset Ending is beating all others. When it's over, I'm sure the playing field will be leveled again.
So, next week I'll be back at school on Friday so I'll try and post before then. I'm thinking... Monday, after first Craig episode. So, I'll review that, and the Big Star gig I'm going to tomorrow; they are my dad's favourite band (he named his shop after them) and I'm going to brush up on the classic tracks all tomorrow. And... who knows what other exciting things will happen (meaning I have no firm plans)? And where will I be posting this from? My brand-new MacBook!

Lottie's 16, Berlin, Underage & Aberdeen
Very busy few weeks: I'm just winding down now...
So, Lottie's 16th was lovely. Watched the Futurama move in her garden. I go her a box full of stupid stuff but all very Charlotte. Glad she liked it and she's legal now (but don't be getting any ideas ;p)
Then, the next day, it was off to Berlin. I had a really amazing time; it;s a really beautiful city. German is actually a lot less harsh in reality than it sounds Like how English sounds posh if you say it properly but in reality it's not. We had a lovely apartment, had lovely meals and saw some really great sites. I brought a piece of the wall back as well! It was very relaxed and Ampelman (the old East-Berlin green man) is so cool; he has his own shop. e also went to this amazing flea market where I bought some shorts and a bag AND saw two busker's with MacBooks! All in all: a great trip!
Then, a day after arriving back, it was off to Underage. I loved Florence & The Machine (only the second time I've seen them this summer) and Pull In Emergency. Dizzee Rascal was good, as were Foals. We met a lovely american girl called Kelsey AND I saw Sam from Brighton! Didn't say hi but still... good day, same the weather didn't hold but I love it. A great idea that works!
Then, after one day to relax, it was back to Luton and off to Aberdeen. Same we missed Nick but we had a lovely meal from my Granny's 80th birthday at Milton of Crathes (don't ask, I don't know) and then we had a family photo taken. I do not photograph well so God knows what they look like! So, that wasn't the most enjoyable but everyone is very nice and it was good to get together for such an occasion. Then it was home (a flying visit, I know) and since then I've done nothing... except, of course:
GAY UPDATE: So, Nuke have essentially not been on; bit of a disappointment but 2 episodes next week so let's hope they make up for the absence. No McPriest either, but I forgive Hollyoaks as long as I get my Sunset ending over the next few weeks. But yes it was an OLLIAN fortnight; watched the big fight on a proper German TV (no idea what they were saying but I got the jist) and the attack was genuinely heartbreaking. From the spoilers I've read, they are taking this storyline the right way and we know that the actors are amazing so... I can't wait. Although, the SUNSET ENDING is taking up most of my adrenaline.
Even though I've already had many a phone call asking for my results (those are A-Levels!), my results come out on the 21st. So, hopefully they'll be good enough to share with you next week. I will hopefully have a good gay update to give you, complete with Hollyoaks spoilers and... maybe Breaking Dawn review? We'll see...
