Hello again. Well, today's lyric is taken from the Bright Eyes cover of 'Blue Christmas' and why is it here? Well, because I've just made a badass Christmas compilation! Here is the tracklist:
1. The Pogues feat Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale In New York
2. The Long Blondes - Christmas Is Cancelled
3. Hot Hot Heat - Christmas Day In The Sun
4. The Killers - Great Big Sled
5. The Pretenders - 2000 Miles (It Must Be Christmas Time)
6. Noel Gallagher - Merry Christmas Everybody
7. Lisa Hannigan - Silent Night
8. Bright Eyes - Blue Christmas
9. Eels - Christmas Is Going To The Dogs
10. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
11. Holy Ghost Revival - Christmas Everyday
12. The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight This Year)
13. Counting Crows - A Long December
14. Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?
I wanted to make a CD full of GOOD Christmas songs for my friends and I, rather than one full of Cliff Richard numbers. And, yes, before you say it, I know Band Aid is on there, but everyone needs a bit of corniness now and again :P I'm going to bring it to Charlotte's place for our little group sleepover. It's a recently formed tradition where our little group goes to see a movie and then we go back to someone's house to pig out and chat all night. Before that, though, I should get some lunch, do my hair, get my stuff packed and then do some last minute Christmas shopping. In case I don't come on for a while, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Wow! Just realised I haven't been on here for a very long time. I'd best give you all an update then really, hadn't I?
Well, on exams, I had them and in August found out I'd passed the lot and done very well, which was nice. I'm currently studying for AS Levels in English Lit, Drama, Sociology and Philosophy of Religion.
Still carrying on with the lyrics as a relevant title thing, so today's lyric is from 'Bar Italia' by Pulp. Why? Well this song is about feeling shit after a night out and I had the most roaring hangover this morning after last night's Sixth Form Christmas Party. That's what happens when they don't ID anybody, I suppose.
It was a damn good night though! Danced and drank with loved ones, got a guy's number and looked bloody fabulous. The music wasn't really my thing though, it was all dance stuff. Now, in the case of stuff like Faithless, that's not bad, but it was mostly just a thumping bassline and squeaky female vocals. If I were a DJ, I'd play a mix of stuff, you know, just to keep everyone happy. Ahh, who am I kidding? It'd be Pulp, The Long Blondes, The Knife and so on all the way! I might buy some decks...
Christmas soon! I can't wait! Who wouldn't love opening presents, stuffing their faces with food and then falling asleep on the sofa? Well, apart from these pro anorexics on the forums here. I really do not get that. I'm not going to stick my oar in or anything, but I don't think LJ should really allow that sort of thing. I will, however, totally defy the principle and get a sandwich. I think I'm well enough to eat now.
Adios, amigos!

(Todays lyric taken from 'Saturday Sun' by Nick Drake)
Woke up this morning very happy, as the sun was shining, but it can't seem to make its mind up. It's like 'I'm so happy I shall burn my rays onto the good citizens of England' then, two minutes later, it's all, 'Oh what's the point? All my efforts go unnoticed! Being the source of all light is such a thankless job and I heard Venus bitching about my shoes last night and....*burts into tears*' And then we get rained on!
Broke up from school yesterday and met up with Lou at Starbucks. She needed black clothing for a trial day she has at a hairdressers' today, so she invested in a very pretty wrap dress. She invited me to go to the pub with her, but I was too tired. I might invite her to that party they're having at the Casbah.
On other news I have FINALLY FOUND WENXIN IN THIS PLACE! Hurrah! It was a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. Well, when I say "tough job" I really mean that I asked her for her username in History yesterday, but that MIGHT be hard for some people. Deaf-mutes for example. Not that I am a deaf-mute, mind you, but I think they would admire my efforts.
I also found out I got 54 out of 60 in my Drama practical, which made me very happy. I wanted to slam down some bad-ass moves in celebration, but it didn't seem like the time or the place, plus I think Miss Aliu has some doubts about my sanity as it is (being dizzy really doesn't help a lot ya know).
I have a very good idea for Wenxin's birthday present, so I'm off to rummage around for supplies.

I have decided to use a line from a song as title to every entry I write from now on, but it has to be relevant to the subject matter. Today's line is from 'Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt' by We Are Scientists *does a little dance, makes a little love, gets down tonight*.
So yeah, bodies, bodies...basically I am just wondering, since my split with my last boyfriend a little over a month ago, whether I am ever going to be seen as more than a beautiful body by potential lovers. Teen angsty, I know, but it seems that my intelligence, talent or personality don't matter half as much to a guy as whether I look good in skinny jeans or not (just for the record, yes I do). I mean, take Kyle, my latest ex, for example, he actually said, whilst in the relationship that my looks were the things he liked best about me. It's almost as if dreams and beliefs should be thrown into the fire when entering a new relationship and replaced with a million Maybelline cosmetics. You know the scene, "Oh so you want to live in Mexico and write books? As if he'll give a shit! Take a free lipgloss and get out of my sight!"
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying "New policy: Abolish sex for conversation!" I love the lustful and passionate side of a relationship as much as (if not more than) the next person, but what about equal quantities of the two?
I guess being only sixteen means I'll have to wait a while for this, but why should I have to? It's not too much to ask, right? Answers on a postcard to the usual address please!
On a slightly lighter note, spring seems to be rearing its head, knock on wood. I'm still cacking my pants over exams too, we're having timetables and revision tips thrust under our noses left, right and center and it's all a big neon sign warning us that the blasted tests are getting nearer and nearer.
Okay, I'm thinking about them again and it's freaking me out. I'm getting something chocolatey to calm my nerves.

This is my first livejournal entry and I don't know what to write. Wonderful! I hope these entries do eventually unfold into something interesting. Currently all I've been doing is running around, mentally shrieking, because we have exams soon. Anyway, my friend Wenxin is on livejournal, so I thought I'd find her. I've forgotten her username, so I'll have to go on a big search *dons safari hat and false moustache*.
Today, me and my stepmum went shopping for job interview clothes. The interview is being held at the Hilton, so she wanted to look really good. Her suit is pretty awesome. Dark brown and the trousers are cropped. I saw so many pretty dresses. I'll have to come back with mum and make hints.
I may put some of my poems and stuff on later. Now I'm going to explore as I only joined last night.
Laters,
Mo
