DIVERSITY WON BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT :D

I thought SuBo was a dead cert to win, especially seeing as she got put through on public vote in the semis and Diversity went through because of the judges. I was SO shocked, but happy too, a) because their act was so original and brilliantly choreographed and b) because I voted for them :D

( bgt musings )

The Big Bang Theory is my latest crack, it's the ultimate way to put off revision. I've only seen about half of the first series because that's all they have On Demand but still, it's brilliant ^_^ Dad loves it too, which is a little odd. He watched the thirteen episodes available in about four days. I think it's because he realises that, if he had gone to university, he would've ended up like them XD I even had a dream about it last night, and it was a good one. Koothrappali proposed to me =D

Emma and I took a 'which TBBT character are you?' quiz; she got Penny, I got Howard. HOWARD o_O The moral of this story is that Facebook quizzes are unsurprisingly inaccurate.

So I DEFINITELY need to buy series one after exams!

I can't believe I just cried at the end of a football match, but three out of the past four years, Leeds Utd have been in the play-offs. And three out of those three years, they have just thrown it all away. They even managed to miss a penalty. Fools.

I haven't cried before now at football, ever, unless you count that time I wasn't picked for the school football team back when I was eight. I'm not even that big a supporter any more. Maybe it's all the years of complete failure finally getting to me. I remember the good old days, back when I was into football enough to try for the school team, where we'd always finish around fourth in the Premiership. And now look at us. Eight years on and we're still finishing fourth, but in League One. That's TWO LEAGUES DOWN.

The worst part is that we're still a bigger club than half the ones in the Premiership; are crowds are usually around 20,000, more than the rest of League One and the Championship AND half of the Premiership.

I'd bitch about the match in general, and about the twats that are Millwall, but I'm too depressed now, so /footballrant.

Turns out, that minor nervous breakdown was for nothing. The exam went really well!

The text discussion was absolutely fail, it was about ethical clothing and very boring. But apart from that, I thought it was a really good exam. It was more like an actual discussion than a question and answer by the end, which is a good sign, and I relaxed a lot as the exam went on. The questions she asked were all nice, LOTS on mobiles and the internet, which was great, and nothing on sex, which was even better! Unfortunately I didn't get Bevormundungsstaat in there (she said she'd laugh if anyone said it), but NOTHING she asked me related to it. More questions on drugs or alcohol would've been nice, I had so much vocab for that, but I think I just didn't have time because I extended a lot of my answers.

Hoffentlich werde ich gute Noten bekommen, oder muss ich nächstes Jahr NOCHMAL Mathe machen!

...apparently, that's not a word in German. Which is a shame, really, as I'VE ONLY BEEN USING IT CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS, AND MY SPEAKING TEST IS TOMORROW, AND NOW I WANT TO DIE.

I assume that the actual word is Angriffsartikel, (if in fact you can actually join the two words 'Angriff' and 'Artikeln' together, which now I'm not so confident about). That's not enough of a difference for me to remember the actual word for tomorrow, but there's just enough of a difference for me to be penalised for using it incorrectly and for Frau Neale to give me the dreaded Look of Pity.

So I'm blowing things a little bit out of proportiion. But you think someone would've corrected me on this before now, wouldn't you? I was already on edge about this exam and now I think I'm falling slowly off the edge and down into the ravine below. It just makes me worried that all my other good words I'm always using are wrong.

I can speak lovely German to my classmates, with lots of vocab and opinions. Then when I get into the speaking test everything seems to go to Hell. I just can't seem to think on my feet or even remember all of those good answers when I'm confronted with that microphone.

Aaaaaand now I'm even more worried after writing all that. Gahh.

I WON SCRIPT FRENZY!!!

Goooooooooooooooooood times =D

And I finished five days early! Of course, like NaNoWriMo, my story is nowhere near finished, and I have no idea how it WILL finished, but I've got 107 pages of script and I'm very very very happy about it =D

My official aim for the summer holidays will be to complete the first draft of this and my NaNo. And to actually name them. Is it very bad that neither of them have a name?

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive.

We went to the latest Agatha Christie play to hit Milton Keynes tonight; Spider's Web. We've been to the Agatha Christie productions there for a couple of years running and, like all the rest, this one was really good. It had a lot more humour in it than the other ones, but IMO the murderer was a lot more obvious; both my Dad and I guessed who it was by the interval. Plus Duffy from Casualty was in it, which was a huge surprise! It brought me back to pleasanter, simpler times when people just got pushed down stairs by stalkers and there was none of this council estate gang warfare.

In conclusion; better than The Unexpected Guest, not a patch on And Then There Were None. But I seriously doubt anything could beat ATTWN, that's probably my favourite play of all time =)

We went to London yesterday. Mum and I went to see the play Three Days of Rain, and Dad took Kieran over to Highgate to see Karl Marx and other famous dead people.

Three Days of Rain was really good! Obviously I'm going to say that, it had James McAvoy in it and I've had a crush on him since he was Mr Tumnus in Narnia so I was quite clearly going to enjoy myself. I was desperate to go but I didn't think we would; the tickets were really expensive at first but the prices came right down a few weeks ago. We ended up with good seats in the stalls, so I was about 10 metres away from him =D

It's kind of hard to explain what it was about. A brother, sister and their childhood friend meet up in this abandoned loft in New York, which was where their fathers - who were renowned architects - made up all their plans. The father of the brother and sister had died, and they were dividing up his legacy as well as trying to find answers to what had happened between their parents. Then in the second half it shifted back in time, and it focussed on the two fathers whilst they were trying to come up with a design for a house which would later be their most famous design.

James McAvoy was the brother and later his father, Nigel Harman (little Den, back when Eastenders was good) was the friend and later his father, and Lyndsey Marshall was the sister and later her mother. They were all really good, actually, all their American accents were completely flawless, but I did think James was the best. He had two completely different characters to play - the brother was a bit of a mental case, and the father was a reserved stutterer - and he was completely believable as both of them.

Afterwards we met up with Dad and Kier and went to the Rainforest Cafe. We haven't been to the one in London since I was about eight and it wasn't as good as we'd remembered it. It's a lot better in Florida, but then what isn't!
