It's getting lighter.

I keep having really really really really really strange dreams about Radiohead, or at least that are in some way connected to them.
it's like I'm living my own version of Meeting People Is Easy.. But in my dreams.. They're kind of fucked up and confusing to be honest.

Yesterday was my final GCSE exam! (Wow is it really only yesterday? Seems far longer than that but then again I guess that's what you get for not sleeping). I think it actually went really well, I'm not too sure though, I'm worried that because I found it so easy I might of missed the jist of the questions completely. However, like my teacher said, if a question is 9 marks, you don't get the marks for stating 9 facts, that's not how it works.
It hasn't really hit me yet that I've left school and exams are all over. I think it will be more apparent after tomorrow once I've finished of my business studies and then even more so after prom.

Birds singing, bells ringing.

Yesterday I and a few of the peeps celebrated the end of exams i.e. we all got extremely pissed round mine, had a little party and didn't sleep all night. It was surprisingly epic actually. There's definitely however a few cringe worthy moments right there though which I wish I could just erase from my mind..

Moving swiftly on, I've come to the conclusion that I am nocturnal. I wouldn't necessarily say I suffer from insomnia, however true that may be. I just find it impossible to sleep at night, whereas during the day..... Especially now with it being the summer and me not having anything to do, I think that I'm going to find it mighty difficult not to live my life as the resident owl.
The significance of this? I'm not too sure.

I end with the fact that earlier I was weeping with happiness because I love Disney so much and cannot wait to go back in July.

happy birthday bobby d

my newspaper album came today, it's beautiful but is slightly poignant as due to its arrival i haven't been able to concentrate on revision for the two exams i have this week, one of them being tomorrow morning..


radiohead lsd must be the best lsd in the world
not that stanley designed them for lsd purposes or anything

~my english literature exam didn't go magnificently badly but it wasn't magnificent either. just sort of ok computer. time will tell whether i wrote the right things down or not. whatever, now i can start reading again (i'm really funny about reading a book whilst studying one because it confuses me and my short attention span and i always muddle parts of and lose focus on the book that i actually need to be reading)

speaking of lsd, i read somewhere that bob dylan has outted his heroin addiction or something. and on nme the headline was 'happy birthday bob dylan, what present shall we get him? not heroin'

but now now now now NOW
it's white stripes night
i'm actually going to revise because i'm not giving up that A in chemistry without a fight

I feel really revitalised, as if I've just come out of the bath or something.
It's like I'm tired but at the same time quite fresh and relieved, I can't quite explain it.

I'm suppose to be spending the day in business studies tomorrow but I've decided to stay at home and try and revise because I really do think that's more important at the present moment. And besides, I can try and do some business studies work during the half term of whatever.

I know I'm in trouble with my Chemistry and Physics exams this week, but I really want to do well in my English Literature. That's the one subject that I'd like to do really well in if possible, but yeah, we'll see. I haven't picked up To Kill A Mockingbird in months, so it might be worth scanning over some key parts and what not. Apart from that then it's just memorising the notes on the poems. The actual writing part of it I'm not too worried about because I know I can waffle and make it sound better than it actually is.

Next week is half term and it'll be consumed by History and Maths revision. Words cannot describe how nervous I am for those exams, those are the big two for me, the two that really require real brain power.

I think if I just focus on the feeling of elation that will erupt after that final exam on June the 14th I reckoner I'll pull through. As soon as that day comes then I literally have nothing to fear and nothing to doubt until college begins and the same cycle of revision and exams begins again.

Stop now and ignore any other unnecessary thoughts. Goodnight, travel well.

All I listen to is Icelandic music or Lady GaGa these days.

According to my Last.FM account I've listened to Lady GaGa more times than Radiohead this week.

Well if you feel like revitalising your music library, then may I suggest that you check out this website now. Because it's all about Icelandic bands who aren't Sigur Ros. It's brilliant.

~It's really tempting to buy all of the Radiohead LP's from HMV or somewhere of the sort online because I can't find them anywhere else that's significantly cheaper and I hate bidding on eBay because I always lose. The only thing that's stopping me is that I have a thing about reissues. I love to have the original dated ones from when they were first released but to get one of them usually costs double the amount.

Ponder this away like Amelia Pond.

Once again I'm in trouble with my only friend, I was so determined to come home today and do some English Literature Revision and maybe even possibly a bit of Chemistry too. But I am always so tired and lathargic these days, I never have any energy at all to do anything. My brain explodes otherwise. I can't even really do it tomorrow because Amee is apparently coming round at some point, but well, we'll see about that one. I'd like to try to do a past paper for English Literature by Monday so I can hand it in to my teacher and see what she thinks of it. It's a slightly ambitious task, I know, but I don't even know what an English Literature paper looks like, so I think it would probably be a good idea if I did that to be honest.


I totally just dragged all of these pictures of Radiohead (thOm and Jon Jon mostly) onto my dashboard. There's got to be over 200 there there. I've never seen any of them before and some of them are absolutely stunning. I'll post them on tumblr at some point when I can be bothered.

Just think Rachel, after this week only Maths and History to worry about. Then after that there's a week of solitude company in Devon and two weeks of absolute childish mayhem in Florida.

For now have GaGa:
I have no idea where this was taken and what for but I think it's simply divine.
