A few things...

Feel I have been slightly neglecting this blog, and since the excitment of Nuke having sex has passed I might do a normal post with no mention of them. Was planning to save this kind of post for the end of the month, but seeing Milk on Monday and will probably post a review on that...

So hello, hope all is well since NFHS-Day (a term everyone was using by the end and I like to think I coined) as it has been with me. Since being back at school, everything has been good. I feels like I have been in Year 12 for far more than a term but already, with exams looming, I can feel the time speeding up. I am planning to apply for a week's intense history learning at Eton in the summer and they already want university choices... ARGH! Got a few prospectus' which will hopefully help...

Everyone went out for Alex's birthday, which was lovely. The boys had a very alpha-male eating contest by each eating over 2 pizzas while we all watched in a mix of disgust and awe. But had a lovely time none the less... Happy birthday Alex! Saw Slumdog Millionaire with my parents and Nick, and really enjoyed it! It was vivid, emotional, sensational but without being melodramatic. Loved it, and has re-affirmed my love for Danny Boyle.

*checking iCal for what else I have been doing* Went to a meeting about my trip to New York with school in February and am now more excited than ever. Have started a new story (novel?) which will be partly set in New York. Plan to fill a notebook with description while I'm there... everything looks so amazing! Especially the opening night at an Awesome 80s Prom Show... cheesy but more American than I know what to do with! In fact, my February plans are coming together very well, because on my birthday, I have bought tickets to a folk festival playing at Union Chapel with Johnny Flynn, Laura Marling and Jeffrey Lewis! So excited... :)

And... LOST returned! It has been the first time in a long time I have physically gasped at television and honestly, although only LOST could get away with saying some of the lines they say, I am loving it. Even just for the line:
'I thought Sayid was your friend'
'He is. He just has this double life where he does ninja moves and spy stuff.'

Went to a quiz at the Welsh school Thursday with Charlotte, Emma and Gentiana which was fun, even if we came joint last. When the first film question was about Milk, it was quite jokes. And yesterday went out for Karimah's birthday... although her gift is to come (from New York) it was a lovely meal, and I cannot believe she is going to be 17!! Happy birthday Karimah :)

I know you're looking for the GAY UPDATE but... with NUKE clearly ahead due to the afterglue of their love-making, and Olli still away, and the Kris/Ravi/Nancy love triangle so dull, and no Scotty in Brothers and Sisters... there is very little to say. Hopefully Nuke this week... althought I haven't heard anything :(

So, just one more thing. My Envision project, homophobiaaware, is starting to take shape. We need a website, which will hopefully come quite soon, but we do have a blog: http://www.homophobiaaware.blogspot.com/
Visit, comment, bookmark and expect updates as early as next week with some more detailed plans for our campaign!

And no, I haven't forgotten about Obama. He gets his own post...

xXx
