Yet again I found myself sat in front of the telly pretty much all day :)
I think I got up once to go to Tesco :) I got some pink dohnuts. I felt sick though so it probably wasn't the best idea ever

27th AugustBasically I woke up at 7:39 where I crawled into the living room and put the TV on this new channel I found; Nick Toonster (channel 630 on sky). It plays cartoons such as Rugrats, Hey Arnold, As Told By Ginger, Doug, The Wild Thornberry's and much more :) And I've been sat here on the sofa ever since. Ryan's coming over in about half hour so things should perk up Not that I'm miserable.

26th AugustWell it all started on Tuesday morning at the hour of 8:30 where we headed off to London in my mother's lovely Citreon Xara. Yeah right. We managed to get to London for about 11 where we got the district line from Richmond to South Kensington where we met up with my Aunties friend Marie with her two children Natasha and Jessica. On meeting up we walked down the road to The Natural History Museum where we looked around, it was disgusting! You could see where some of the animals had been shot to be stuffed and shoved in a glass cabinet for people to look at. Pretty warped ‘ey. Some bits were good though, like weighing myself (69kg what a lol) and comparing my weight to other animals. Haa. Lunch time! My favourite part of most days, obviously. So we grabbed a bite to eat in Whetherspoons which was well lush, I had a cheese and tomato Panini. Their loos were amazing, like I'm not even joking, DW I took pictures, and I’ll put them up shortly no doubt! As usual they messed up the order; it wouldn't be the same if they got it right first time round eyy, what's a meal out with out someone screwing up? The queue for Madame Tussauds was ridiculous, especially as we hadn't bought tickets in advance; the estimated waiting time was three hours, yeah right! Luckily Marie borrowed someone's staff card so we got to cut the queue and get in for free! How rad. Saved £30 (Y) well, there were four of us so more like £120. Haa. Gutted. But yeah it was heaving; I suppose you sort of expect it to be busy with it being the holiday in all. Inside was pretty rad, minus the millions of people pushing and being rude, luckily I managed to get out of their without punching someone in the face. Lovely. Some people are just so rude though. I got my picture taken with a few "celebrities" and it did end up being really enjoyable. I must say though, chamber of horrors is a must see! I actually nearly, pardon my French, shat myself! Apparently so did my Auntie and sister though to be fair, we all left holding on to each other for dear life. I don't remember it being that scary when I was younger! But yeah, it's well worth it. It was so dark and there were people and "stuff" coming out from all directions and you could feel things all over you and in your hair. Haa, I loved it. The Andy Warhol section was also really sweet, I would have got my picture done if it wasn't so expensive, I don't think people realize how easy it is to do that at home on your own computer though! Nm eyy, I did get my picture taken on the way out though on the Taxi ride through "The Spirit of London" or whatever they were calling it. It's a really nice picture actually; I don't really have a nice pictures of me with my Auntie. Natasha and Jessica had their Andy Warhol pictures done so me, Char, my Auntie and my Mummy went ahead and had an ice coffee in Costa, it was well yummy :) Next on our list was The London Dungeons, however, after being so scared in the chamber of horrors we decided to give it a miss, especially as Natasha and Jessica are only 11 and 12. :) So we hopped on the busses and sort of did our own tour of London. In the centre of London there was this little shop which sells band tees, they're amazing and only £6,99 which is a mega wow! I bought a Bullet for my Valentine one, boo yeah! (Thanks’ Shashhhyyyy) Time was getting on so we decided to head towards McDonalds where on the way we saw some amazing "sculptures" by Dali. They were really rad, but Char's camera had decided to be a complete joke and wouldn't focus, we still managed to get some nice pictures though. There was also this museum of movies which had a fright night on, looked really rad but we didn't really have enough time to go in and it wasn't in everyone's interest...Just mine and Char's! So yeah. McDonald’s, I got a latte which was actually better than Starbuck's would you believe and it only cost With our rest time over we headed on down the river where we hoped to see some of Banksy's art but I think we went in the wrong direction, lol, anyway we got on the next bus and ended up in Piccadilly circus where it started to get dark which made it all the more rad when we saw all the advert lit up and all the lights. Was proper pretty. Time was getting on and Natasha and Jessica were getting tired to Marie decided to take them home. Me, mum, Char and Shashy got on a bus to the middle of nowhere so we decided to get the train back to Richmond where we got something to eat and headed back to the car. We arrived home at about 11:30. Was a really awesome day to be honest. I probably got everything mixed up and in a jumble but hey! :)

4th AugustLast day of Brownie camp today :) As
much as I’d enjoyed myself I was bloody glad it was over; I think anymore than
4 days would be too much, I’m absolutely cream crackered.
To start the day off we played on the giant swing, trust me, it’s big. It was actually massive, like no joke. I was shitting myself; I hate anything that just drops straight down. It was horrible because we had to pull a rope which pulls the swing up which has two people in it. It was really fun though. After giant swing we had “survival” however our leader was late and the other group had gone somewhere random and got lost so we decided we would have a water fight :) After half hour of chucking water we thought we’d better start our next activity. Our instructor was about 4 foot tall and we got to call him wee man. He can kick himself in the head. What a legend. We spent the whole session just mocking each other, we were too tired to build a camp plus it was pretty crap anyway so it was probably a lot more fun just to mess about; before we knew it was lunch time which meant it was home time. I don’t think I’d ever been more grateful to see my bed :)

3rd AugustOur first activity of the day was high ropes, I seriously did not think I could do it. It was so high, but I think everyone was afraid. We were all fighting about who was going ot go first. :) I got half way up and half way along the wire when I decided I wanted to come down but I'm really glad he wouldn't let me, because I went all the way to the top and was well proud of myself! Cool kid alert. Not only did I get to the top I did 5 star jumps when I got there, ok so they were pitiful but hey, I did it. For our next activity we got the coach to Weymouth beach where we did rafting. We built our own rafts and it was a lot of fun, I didn’t think I’d be able to do this activity either as I am terrified of water, but yeah it was amazing. We had to wear these main ass queer outfits that made us look like fisherman and they absolutely stank. Not amusing, at all. We were the first group to build are raft and all the other groups copied are design. Cheaters. When we got on the water it was a surprise to see that it did actually float :) We played lots of games like duck, duck goose and we had a war with the other group. It was really fun. When it came to getting dressed some woman told us we weren’t allowed to shower :0 we were like yeah, ok, screw you, so me and Sponge had a shower anyway. I lost my bra and pants! It was a joke, but hilarious. Later that night we had a disco with the brownies, it was well cute they all put their dresses on and were really excited. I wasn’t looking forward to it but it turned out ok and they did actually play some half decent music apposed to some crappy kiddie disco music :)

2nd AugustAfter breakfast we barely had enough time to brush our teeth before having to meet in the activity zone to begin our first activity of the morning. It was absolutely chucking it down and we had archery first, it was horrible. Really. I decided not to take part as my ex broken arm was playing up and being gay plus I've done it like a million times before so I wasn't fussed. "We" played some games like hit the pizza topping and what not and it wasn't too bad just sat there watching, even though it was raining and I was soaked. I was glad when it finished and we went on to our next activity which was fencing. How rad! I've always wanted to try it and it really was as good as I thought it would be. We learned loads of moves and messed around. It was a laugh. We had to wear boob cups, that made my day, We wore them as hats :D The uniform we had to wear made me feel like one of those bird people who do those weird tricks, Had to wear one glove, was weird. It was really fun but I got really hot and got really sweaty. Yummy. Lunchtime! Cooked lunch and all :) You really need it with all the exercise you do around the place. Woah talk about tiring. We did abseiling after lunch. I love to abseil, I do it nearly every year :) I couldn't help but laugh at this one girl who came down screaming her face off, bless her, she's only seven. I'm not very good at comforting people either and this one girl burst in to tears yelling that she didn't want to do it and she was scared and I was the only person around, I was just like there, there little one *pats head* How lovely of me. Was really fun. The brownies next activity was Aeroball which I was too tired to take part in so I sat in the "library" and had a drink. The library is what the adults have to call the bar, lol. After tea this new girl showed up so we had to switch rooms, what a joke, it was sad to see toom 69 go, we'd grown fond of eachother. So we headed to our new room which was completely away from everyone else, which, at the time, we thought was amazing, however it wasn't. Our new roomwas situated in the middle of Gangsta town where we were surrounded by all these London Gangsters, which was rather int |
