Distracted by shiny things

Spend a very long time yesterday redoing my layout, that is to say I customised all the different options and after a lengthy period of elimination I decided on this one! I really love it, the pink was starting to give me a headache, however it might change again soon as I am not yet used to the friends page.

Have had four hours of driving in the last two days which is quite a lot and am really pleased, driving is FUN! Even if I am not very good, next time we are doing roundabouts, since I live in Milton Keynes we have a lot of those. Need to start learning theory.

In fact I need to do so many things that I will need a big to do list and actually follow it because what is happening now is that I don't know where to begin and as a result am not doing anything at all.

It turns out that my school has a Prom website full with pictures, (people submit theirs I think) I even found myself on the background of one, it is weird seeing the pictures because the majority are of people I have never spoken to and some I don't even know the name of. Hopefully later on in the week we will be getting our Year CD, that's right we can't afford a Year Book.

Oh and I am good on my way to filling the 100 available icons, I heart my icons, isn't this one fabulous?

I am sure all of you are just dying to know all about how my maths exams went, too bad because I will tell you anyway. But consider yourself lucky as I am using a cut.( Read more... )

In other, better news I had the english mock (the war one) today and it was quite fun. It was very official, we did it in the Hall with GCSE people, and even though I didn't quite finish it was nice. I liked the extracts, one of them was from Arms And The Man which I hadn't heard of prior to today but which is set in Bulgaria, and has Bulgarian people in it, I found this cool. It is really funny too, has a modern feel to it despite being written in 1894. There was also an extract from Pat Barker's The Ghost Road, the third in the Regeneration trilogy and it was so good *wants to read now* It is a shame really that I have done no further reading, no novels anyway, as I want to read Regeneration, and not only for the shallow reasons of it being historical slash, all the extracts I have read from it are really good.

In case you are wondering, yes my life has been taken over by exams. Although I am going to a party on friday with people from my old school I haven't seen in ages and that makes me happy. Also I am in dire need of a Prom dress, I thought that I have a long time, because it is on August 19th (day after results day. WHY?) but I am now also going to my old school's prom and that's on July 1st, day after last exam. So I have no time to *buy* a dress and no idea what to do with my hair. Every time I think of it, I go all guilty for having silly worries. Vicious cycle really.

Also my flist is Star Wars crazy and I think I am getting infected or something, because I want to see it now. I am not a Star Wars fan, haven't even seen all of the original trilogy and thought that the two new ones were kinda awful but suddenly the love is everywhere and I want to see it. Maya's summary also helped, and I certainly haven't been reading any slash. Nope *hides*

Also I have a question which is silly, but indulge me. What do you think of my default icon, the pink one. I never thought that I would have an icon that I keep using, but it sort of happened and now that my 50 icon ran out *cries* and my paid account runs out in a week I guess I will have to just go back to three *cries more* But I want to know if you all hate my icon, because it is pink and pale. I always associate people with their icons and I was wondering whether you do too and how do you see me because of it? Feel free to express hatred, I don't mind because I love it as it goes with my layout and I found it randomly and squeed. Wow that was a weirdly confusing and long question, if you actually got till the end *offers cookies*
