Social Vibe ?

Gates, Doorways, Beginnings And Endings...

Sorry for my non - existant blogs entries over the last couple of weeks. I'll try and make up for it with a large, long winded account of January.

Where to start? Hmm... New Years Sounds Good!

New year was spent up at Iain and Lindas and It was as much fun as it was the year before. We arrived on New Year's Eve and in the evening around 11, we went down to Drumnadrochit, the village beside Loch Ness for their annual New Year's Street Party. It was loads of fun. My siblings and myself had our own mini céilidh, which was rather good If I say so myself! Then, when the bells went at 12 and we had proceeded to wish everyone a Happy New Year, we left to continue the festivities at Iain and Linda's house. I escaped just in time as I could hear the opening bars of 'Rockstar'. I bloody hate that song with a vengeance.

The next day was spent with a lovely dinner and lovely company. If I'm honest I can't remember much of it anymore but that is due to my short term memory loss, not alcohol consumption.

That Inconspicuous Bottle Of Lambrini Is Not Mine...

The next couple of days were spent lazing about, although we did go for a drive one day and explored the frozen wonders of Ben Afric (Notice how poetic that was?)

Not Bad From The Car Window Not Bad Either

Then after we left, it was back to the joys of school and work.

Sara And Ellyn's 16th Masquerade Party was the next big event and it was great. The venue was nice, the barman was especially nice and a bacon sandwich at 10.00pm at night didn't go amiss either. It was a fabulous night!

Installment two of my adventures in January : coming soon!

Oh Ohhh Put Your Hands In The Air!

The Party Was Amazing. That Is All.

Before I Forget...

Right Now - 'Doomed Now' - Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Well, It's been a while so apologies.

Christmas was...Christmas. Old age brings with it the unevitability of feeling that Christmas, for me, Is now just like any other day in the year. Exceptions including receiving things wrapped in paper and getting a three course meal that was prepared two days earlier.

Scrooge Much?

But I did enjoy myself. I was very happy with the things I got including

• Straighteners




• IPod Docking Station




• 'LOTR' DVD's




• Fleetwood Mac 'The Dance' DVD




• 30 Seconds To Mars CD's




• My Blue Dress

The latter being a complete surprise, I was immediately aware that my family have got to be one of the most observant families ever. Christmas dinner was good as well but In all honesty, the day passes rather normally.

It's a Shame Tbh.

Then, For New Year, we went up to Loch Ness to stay with my Auntie and Uncle again. That was good. Lot's of fun.

Then back to school. Annoying Much? Hard work and it didn't make me feel any better knowing I hadn't completed all the homework I needed to have done.

Hanna stayed over last night. It was fun. She was impressed with my swedish pronounciation of her family member's names and I was impressed with her Guitar Hero skills. A very productive night. Oh! I quite like Deathnote esp. L, the candy king.

So. Sara and Ellyn's party on Thursday. Looking forward to that. I got my mask. It's blue and sparkly.

And That Is All. I'm not good at the blog thing tbh but I try.

Hiding Behind The Mask.

White Diamonds - Friendly Fires


In all my years of existing, I don't think I've ever been excited about any year other than 2009.

Two Thousand And Nine. Rolls off the tongue nicely too.

There's so much happening. It's just going to be utterly fabulous!

I don't feel like writing anymore strangely. Maybe The Tunnock's Tea Cake I had affected my thoughts. Mmm Cream...

Woah! Time Out! What Did You Just Say?

Just Now - Marilyn Manson - The Dope Show

Ok so now, I'm seething. This blog is going to be hard to write because it concerns someone who is very close to the only person who reads my blog but I'm I can't hold in my utter disbelief. So I'm sorry Hanna.

The last week has been an utter nightmare with her. On Tuesday I told her we were going to the centre on Thursday after school. She went "I never knew anything about this" which to I replied "I'm telling you now". The next thing to come from her lips, basically well, astounded me.

"I never get invited anywhere."

Well, I couldn't hide my utter resentment. I went "What?" and then an uncomfortable silence. Wherever we go, without fail she is always invited - Calderglen, bowling, going into town, etc. She's always invited. So that alone was enough to go over the edge.

So next day I knew she hadn't been feeling well at lunch the day before so in my usual way - nice, bright and always with a caring tone, I asked "Are you feeling better?"

I can't remember her exact words - probably the shock of her response but I do know she jumped down my throat. What's hard about saying Yes, thanks for the concern. I care about her and I was trying to see if she was ok. Look at the thanks I get.

Tonight was the last straw. Leigh had asked me down to the centre tomorrow and I went yes. Then Charlotte came on msn and invited her to go down the centre with her. I waited fifteen minutes for her to invite me. Me, the person who I'd known the longest. The person who introduced her to the group. The person who without, wouldn't be able to call these people her friends. I even prompted her by saying "What you up to at the weekend?" Her response " Nothing much, going down the centre and buying a birthday cake". I'm not saying she's lying - she just missed a few details like "I've invited Leigh, Do you want to come?

Well, rage swelled through my body. I rang Sara. She was with James. They really are amazing people. Sara always listens to you and agrees and soothes your rage whilst James has the ability to make me say everything I'm feeling. What would I do without them?

I'm not going to say anything to her. If she wants it this way, fine. Even if I did say something, If I know this person, She will deny saying anything of the sort. It's not the first time but I thought she might have matured a little to tell me to my face she doesn't want to be around me.

Secondlastly, I'm sorry Hanna. I hope when you read this, it won't make things awkward between her or myself. I would hate to lose you. Ever since you came to Scotland I've really enjoyed learning about you, your culture, attempting to (and failing miserably) speak in Swedish. Your like a breath of fresh air and I truly believe I've made a best friend in you. I'll be unconsolable when you return to Sweden.

And finally, I'd like to announce the arrival of my new baby cousin, Annabel Adaline MacDonald, born on the 8th November and guess what? She's a real cutie!

Defining The Word Gorgeous.

The Dope Show

Well, I haven't got chickenpox as first thought. Instead I have a lovely case of tonsilitus!

Oh well. It's something I can handle at least.

With A Vast Amount Of Medication!

Inverness was good. We had a massive snowstorm and I thought (or hoped) we would be snowed in. It's heaven on earth literally. I can see it in my dad eyes how much he wants to move up there and if I'm honest to myself, it wouldn't be a hard decision for me.

Who Could Say No To A View Like That?


Basically this whole week has been spent sleeping, reading LOTR and computerizing. Oh and I've been mucking about with online photo editors!

My Favourite

Not bad in my opinion.

Ellyn gave me "Twilight" to read! I can't wait to read it but I must finish LOTR first. It's quite good and I'm quite proud of myself for actually getting into it but it's so long and Tolkien has this insane habit of explaining in minute detail every blade of grass that grows in middle earth. I'm enjoying it though and I think I'll finish it soon.
