The month of bad news

October has always been the month of bad news in our family, And I think that that's maybe the way it's going to stay. Hopefully things won't get so bad as us not getting the house, or Joe getting ill again, even though I think that may have been in September... It was, I'm sure.

Yes, so, to prove that October is a bad month, I have three examples. Four.

1) We got robbed in October
2) My grandfather died in October- two days before his 75th birthday.
3) My mother got a rather horrible illness in October called H-Pylori, nasty nasty.
4) Joe scares me this October with the prospect of very damaging illnesses being in/with him. 

also, 5) because my mother missed an entire day of work this October, and that was just after she'd started a new job, and the new job is really taking its toll.

DAMN DMITRYS for being strange!

What the hell!

So, it's been a really weird couple of weeks. Two consecutively bad weekends equal one very unhappy Vicky. Joe has SWINE FLU. Tivvy is being silly. Ross is being silly with Tivvy. I haven't seen Kit or David in ages which results in severe loss of wq- weirdness quotient. However, getting geek points from Pikle and having awesome chats with Aggie. Dim's still being a prick. Lovely.

Gotta go, I have like five hours of Child Development left to do now, and it's already seven at night. Bye. See you soon, hopefully when I'm in a better mood!

Pardon the rant.

Swine flu! For flip's sake. School's gonna be boring now, compared at least to what it was.

OMG OMG OMG

as the title would suggest, I have BIG NEWS!!

The official cast list is out for New Moon....and I have really, really scored big time. Cameron Bright as Alec? I always knew the guy who was cast would be hot. Hot hottttt. I love Cameron not only because he's lovely (:p) but also because he really really can act. Double score, Taylor Lautner buffed up enough to stay cast as Jacob. Much hawtness there, no doubt about it. Have good nights everyone...:)

Sunday!!

OOH dear wow wow have I had an interesting weekend.

Rawan, that was the awesomest party I have attended in a very long time, thankyou for inviting me, and good luck with the clear up! Special thanks go to your little sister as she spent most of the time handing out drinks and sweeping. Twas AWESOMENESS and the all girls thing was....new to me, but brilliant! :)

Joe, I'm still sorry. Nah-nah. I can't take it back once it's here. x

Shoooooooot, I've totally not done my Child Development Homework! She's going to KILL me. I am going to die of deathness most enforced. Oh dear.
OR....
I could just go do it now! Waay, that's a much better idea, isn't it?
I just typed most of the last line without looking. Coooool! Okay, yes, I am a little hyper. In my defence, lemon chicken, yummy nachos, salsa, salsa dancing, cake, and wonderful fruit does that to you. Along with missy elliott, I would say that's one recipe for a helluva party, which it was indeed.

Plans, plans! House warming party for once we've moved. Probably in January, methinks. Also, much sooner than that, I need MY party... If I'm ever going to have one, now would be the time to do it. Wooooop!

Luv to all my friends. Mr Sea Mollusc, I dislike you very much too. It's rude to pretend to be Irish, you know. GAWSH.

NB: when I'm on the phone to you, be nice to me, especally if I called you. It works out that I'm better to you if you're nice to me. :)

WORDY WORD WORDSSSSS!

I just realised I haven't done this in a long time!

Words of the day...:

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
This is the fear of long words. Lollums!! actually makes me laugh. :D

Friday 11 September 2009

Right, I thought this was the best way.

This is the homework I got this week, I've done it according to subject.

Art-Collect Sex Pistols and London artwork images.

BTEC-None

Child Development- 1) First Visit- background info. Compare the child to some form of the text milestones or another child.
2) Work out a task title.
3) I can't be bothered to write it all down here but the outline is, there's a hell of a lot written in the back of your planner and you have until February do this task. Aim high. Don't suck.

English-Summaries of: Act one::scene one
Act one::scene two
Act one::scene three

Plus a diagram of Macbeth's qualities with interrelate with who he is and his personality.

German- 1) Learn the past participle spellings for a test [DONE]

2) pg 324 Q 1-8 -- Review Ex.

Science- 1) finish off the questions on page 41 :) compounds are colourless
2) pg 3-5 in workbook
3) up to pg 7 workbook
4) workbook all up to alkali metals part (18-22)

And that's all for this week plus Maths and English coursework. Does your school insist on this much crap to do at home? I'm a nerd and all but this is just TOO MUCH!!

I couldn't leave this one out...

Today's second word: Honorificabilitudinitatibus

Honorificabilitudinitatibus is the ablative plural of the medieval Latin word honorificabilitudinitas, which can be translated as "the state of being able to achieve honours".

27 letters, alternating consonants and vowels. It's the longest one.

Have you got any weird words to offer? win chocolate bar (small) if you answer with a good one I haven't heard of. :) I'll be honest.

AN IDEA STRIKES

I'm a nerd, I like to learn new things. Particularly words. So, I'm going to try and get a new word up every day and see if I can educate y'all as to what it means. briefly. :)

Today's word: ogliomerization

In chemistry, an oligomer consists of a limited number of monomer units (ολιγος, or oligos, is Greek for "a few"), in contrast to a polymer that, at least in principle, consists of an unlimited number of monomers[1].

Many oils are ogliomers. :) Hope this is a good starter! ;P I'm gonna get worse, I can tell. Soon I'll be doing words like zenzizenzizenzicube *yes it's an actual word*.

Did you know?

All humans with blue eyes are related. This is because about 10,000 years ago a sngle mutation occurred and it's been going strong ever since.

[[[[“Originally, we all had brown eyes”, said Professor Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. “But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a “switch”, which literally “turned off” the ability to produce brown eyes”. The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin.
The “switch”, which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris – effectively “diluting” brown eyes to blue. The switch’s effect on OCA2 is very specific therefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour – a condition known as albinism.]]]]

ELLLOOOOO!

Wow, in a much better mood now I've done some homework, I'll admit that... Today, oh today, what a shit day it was but still, it could have been a lot worse, I supposes. :) Feel like saying hi to Joe, Peter, Pickle, Dim, (get well soon Latvian) and also DAVID because we just made up the awesomest name for him.

Woo maths coursework, so challenging it's almost fun but not quite, but nonetheless I look forward to tomorrow when I'll have to work late late into the night on it :D because I has done like NOTHING and it's due in on Friday!! SCORE, failed the timing on that piece miserably.

English coursework; erk, the new teacher is more well informed than I thought he would be and HE KNOWS. Obviously I'm not as organised as DGB thinks I am (don't go near him, he's a scary mothertrucker) and I'm gonna get BEATEN by the English dept. for this. Badly.

MANNNNNNN ther's a lot of Child Dev to get done in the next five months... Sucks but it's gonna be fun so :P hopefully I won't tire too easily of all this stuff in all these subjects. I'm having fun being under a little extra prtessure.

Ohh, had the first german lesson of the year today. Year has begun in nerdy fashion, with me translating most of what the teacher says to the class. James Bailey laughed at me. He has very straight teeth. So do Tilly and Shana. Lucky sods. Not that mine are all over the place exactly, it's just that I've gotta wait another like year until I can get braces because my flippin jaw has to stop growing and changing. suckkssssssss.

Having fun? Favourite subjects? What's the worst lesson you've ever had? Get me on facebook, Victoria Howells, the one with the yellow picture *thumbs up to nerds*

For Connel's happiness- "Big up the invisibles!!"

Hex

Does anybody fancy being a right nerd? I know this language called Hex, short for Hexadecimal, and I wondered if anyone wanted to learn it. it's not that hard really and it's really, really funny to write, and once you get good you can write quite fast in it.

I know, I know it's like the nerdiest thing ever but it's worth my asking just in case.

Also, I'm feeling like letting my guard down, so anybody who has a sincere question to ask me, I'll do my best to answer in truth. I feellike giving everybody the opportunity to ask me something they've never asked before, it's kinda funny and serious at the same time. thankyou for readin my blog!

I noes not

Oh noes! I don't know how many people have read this blog, and what they thought, so, I send you the link, you read, you get back to me on FB or bebo with an opinion and I'll post your opinion on the blog. Danke! Es ist nicht complitziert.

My mixed up life is fun fun fun

wellity well! I has homwork, damn science, damn double science, I love the lessons but I hate having to do stuff at home most of the time because it sucks. Although I did really enjoy teaching myself C4, as I said in my first ever post, on Friday. I only had three lessons today, all of my year eleven did, because there was a double then BREAK, then a double thn LUNCH then a single.

It was okay, I guess, I did some good stuff in art, and Sciences were good, but Child Development, I finished in like five minutes so I sat there and mucked around and ate a blue Space Baton for the majority of the lesson.

Started talking to an old friend of mine on a whim yesterday, and she's really changed. Like, really really. It's kinda weird. But really good, because I've tried with other old friends and it hasn't worked, and this time it really has. Which is GOOOOOOD.

OMG the new site is shit but funny....www.everythingaboutvicky.weebly.com- the FAQ page is okay but it could ALL be so much better

Sunday 6 September 2009

NEW POST!!! aw crap, I just knocked over a can of pepsi raw. mann. Ooh, sugary desk, om nom nom...

Apologies for the longer title than most, it just seemed something weird. all the post titles are weird. Anyway, giving reference to what is obviously the best site in the world (it really is!!!!) :

www.everythingaboutvicky.weebly.com ...heehee all about me. tis great, I luvz it.

everybody who has never tried pepsi raw, get out there and buy a can. Om nom nom, no afrtificial colours falvours sweeteners or preservatives!

Much luck with tomorrow, the first full week back. Woooo!

COMPETITION RULES

I need to set these out.

1) You cannot win two consecutive comps.
2) For the comps such as the fail one and the endangered plant/animal one, you can give a maximum of five answers, all in one comment, and you have five chances to win.
3) no matter how good your entry is, if it's after the deadline it won't be counted. be quicker next time.
4) You don't have to pay for the chocolate bar :)
5) You get to choose the chocolate bar, within reason. By this I mean don't ask for a 400g one, maybe a 200 is okay if your answer was really good. You can ask for a snickers or mars or crunchie if you want. :)
6) On the comps such as the fail one, where you need evidence, I need you to post the evidence on the blog, and I need to know who it came from *can't be you* so I can check and verify.
7) Be creative! On comps like the endangered plant/animal one, your answers can be as wild as you like. these are cases of internet QI, where you're more likely to win if you've come up with something nobody else would think of. Kit, I think you have an advantage here.

I liedddddd

Preparing for the first whole week back *om nom nomminess- I look forward to it*
And buying birthday presents for those who were born this month. A lot of difficult people to buy for. Leah Roberts gets nothing because she owes me a tenner, uh-huh, yeah, she does. Not lol. Anyway, good to see you peeps are having fun answering my silly questions and competing for hugs and chocolate and the like. As my last post on all the blogs said, I’ve now set up the blogs so you don’t have to log in or anything to leave comments, and you can even be anonymous. I need the feedback, so please don’t hesitate to comment, it only takes a second and it will really help to see what people like or don’t lie, so I know what to include more. Have a ood rest of the weekend! Aw, so happy, I only have three lessons tomorrow… Science, Art, and Child Development. :) thumbs up for that!

I'z been shopping! Rawan, I has ur birthday present ready and wrapped :) Now all I have to do is get Jancis' prezzie, and I should be done....

yeah, excited about school, about moving house, about food, about people, I'm havong a really good time just living at the moment, and I'm really enjoying it. Ask me, I'm in a great mood....all the damn time. Not much you can do about it, depending on who you are. Heeee, see most of you tomorrow!

Okay, my rules...

Sundays I get free from blogging, unless I really feel the need. When I feel the need to do something, I do it, I can apologise after if it's not what someone wants....but when I feel the need, I will just go ahead and do it.
P.S. I can almost touch type now!

COMMENTING

COMMENTING is now enabled for non-members, followers, etc. so now you can generally comment when you've read something you like, just by writing in the box and clicking comment. That's brill, I love it, you should love it, and everyone will love it because that's what I think you should do. No, I joke, I jest, I'm only fooling around....You will LURVE it. Heeeeeee!

Puns with punch

I'm making these up. The person who comes up with the best one gets a hug; sorry, no more money for chocolate as of yet!!

Q: What makes 'Dim' and 'getting a tattoo done' the same?
A: They're both annoying little pricks *hee joke Dim*

If you fed your pet budgie chicken, could that be considered cannibalism?

I'm sure there are a few more in my head, such as...

Q: Why shouldn't you throw knives when angry?
A: Because you might miss.

I'm of unicorn descent, that's why I'm always so horny.

Oh Dim, why are you always so twisted and horny? "Ah, me mother was a whirlpool and me father was a rhinocerous!"

well, I be a dominatrix elf, so no worries there.

Q: what is irony?
A: a bit like silvery and goldy but fuckloads less expensive.

a: sarcasm is the lowest from of wit
b: I really care about what you say sometimes.
a: you do? Aw, thanks.
b: jeez, you're such a waste of hot air. Give it to George Bush.

REMEMBER: you get a hug. A nice hug.

the blogosphere

Ahhhh....Saturdays are fun :)

Shoutouts to Veronica Vance, Marten Reed, Faye Whitaker, Dora somethingorother, Penelope Gaines, Pintsize (WOOOOO!!!!) and.....ah you get the point. These are all characters from a webcomic I read, called Questionable Content. The link is www.questionablecontent.net, you need to start at the beginning or it won't make sense, and it's bound to keep you occupied for a while :D because it's great! Although not very realistic, some extremes in there, defo.

If you're wondering what the blogosphere is, you'll have to read Joe's favourite webcomic, www.xkcd.com is the link for that one, it's funny but if you're not really up to date with things you just won't understand :p so good luck with that one!

Damn Maths coursework is lurking, I've been on the computer all day, although Sophie M can vouch for the fact that I got some time off *heehee*

How is everyone? Like the pot joke? good, it doesn;t take much once you have a good few keywords, does it? I love humour. As Oscar Wilde once said, "If you're going to tell people the truth, make them laugh otherwise they'll kill you." and Shakespeare said "I am not bound to please thee with my answers"-- you can tell which one was more arrogant, can't you?

really really really hate

^whoever can tell me what the last language was gets chocolate, you have about a month I would think... :D^

The Pot of destiny

Some people save up money for pot. They get £17.00 (or thereabouts) and get a ten bag, a five bag, and some rizla, and then rip up the edges of their schoolbooks for what these scrotters call "roach material". I however, get around !£17.00 and spend it on A POT. a Terramundi pot, to be presice!

Now, these are nifty. Damn nifty. I made a rule when I bought mine; put in half the money you get, at least, and don't break it until you physically can't get any more in. It's working, I'm sure. I'm not counting how much money there is in there, but I know that there's a lot, enough to get nearly an ounce of weed, in some people's way of looking at it, dependting on who you buy from. I hate the fact that I know that.

Anyway, it's great for people who can't save because once the money's in the pot, you have to smash the pot to get it back out! A game of patience and skill, as you're not allowed to smash the pot until you can't get any more money inside. I'm deciding to fill it with notes so I'll have LOADS by the time it's full. http://www.terramundi.co.uk :)

ANSWER THIS ONE AND WIN CHOCOLATE...

What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

I want your honest answers, you can bring them via paper, you can come tell me, and I'll write it down, or you can write it up here by commenting, but it has to become a comment to this post and then you can be in with a chance to win. This one you can only answer once. the last one, about the fails, you could give as many examples as you liked.

two weeks, people! two weeks! from NOW!

I'm making this informative, hopefully witty, and an intriguing read. I hope you're enjoying reading it as much as I am writing it... and hopefully, you'll enter the COMPETITION IN THE THIRD BLOG and see if you can win the chocolate bar! I'm hopefully not going to rant on about anything unless I'm totally mad, so there should be a nice variation in what the blogs include. :)

The blog of mog, plus competition! waay!

so, I've heard from David B that this is a pretty awesome blog. Look away boys *and tiv, I see that in your trousers* so I can puff out my chest with pride! Okay, you can look back now...

Some things I have tried to do just DON'T work, do they? Like, running and jumping over a metal pole, Teaching tiv the lwas of fraternal twins (ask david, ross and kit, they enjoyed my attempt)
and staying warm in a freezing cold tent, those are examples. The person who gives the best example at the bottom of the page (I want some KIND of evidence, please) gets a chocolate bar!

I would like to thank Shana for my SPIDERPIG poster, as it makes me laugh and I love it muchly, and Tilly because her attitude to life makes me laugh even more. Pessimism is not the answer.

David Barnsley, are you a night owl? Meh, you are, methinks.

Shanice says a slightly freaked out hello to all you bloggers who are reading this, and also wonders if ross is coming round again as he is "big tall scary agh" as she once put it. Ross said he thought she was "intelligent, mature for her age, and trying to grow up to quickly." I think he can be.. the scientific name for it is "stupid git". but aren't we all.... Some more than others.... *tiv....joking*

YOU HAVE ONE WEEK TO GIBE ME FAILS AND EVIDENCE AND THEN I WILL SELECT A WINNER :)

The end of today is the beginning of tomorrow

well, well, well. considering I only had two lessons today, I've been worn out pretty much the same I would with a normal length day. after this morning'd blog I had the good fortune to acquire (for 50 of your English pence) a bag of 50 grams of sherbert. Blue sherbert. Blue, fizzy, amazing, fantabulous, wonderful crazy-making sherbert which out me in a very VERY good mood by the time I got to school, and I proceeded to spend my hour's tutor licking it off my school folder. It was.....just....so....tasty! nomnom, Nom, nomom om om. and that was the end of that, it was all gone, I had a blue tongue, Tiv had a disapproving look on her face, Rimple loved me, Jance was amooooosed by my blue tongue and I've just been informed that Kit's going to be following this blog, so I'd better make it relatively nerdy. Tch, as if it wasn't going to be anyway!

Tiv and Ross were here earlier, making good use of my....bed......the....the....meh, might as well, that's what the mattress is good for, as it's new. I joke. Obviously they weren't sleeping together, ew, EWWW. My bed, peeps! If you're gonna do that, do it somewhere else in your own time.

So, it would seem quite a few people are reading this so far, about ten, I think. I thought maybe it would be nice for them, to have a look into the weird and wacky world of Vicky, without being close enough to smell my heavenly scent....aw, sure I can get Peter to add that in there virtually or something, or Joe, if he has time...*heeee*

Andrea just got back to me on my first post; "You're moving house!?" Hell yes I am, folks, and I'm gonna make the most of that! never.... aw, not gonna carry on with this, I explained the whole flat thing in the last blog, did I not? No? shush, and TOUGH. lalala.

No homework so far. Good. GOOOOOOD! as you can see, I still am managing to find heckloads of stuff to write about, and it's all wierd and strange and....totally normal for me, but never mind, I enjoy it.

I feel, for some reason, I should say hi to Rawan and Cecilia, and also Anna S, just because, I have no idea, but hi peeps! It was good to see you today. Rawan, you and I need to chat. Kit, you and I need to chat, and Peter, I need to argue with you, your arguments are so weird that they're fun.

YESS Score; games is now before LUNCH on a Tuesday, not before BREAK, so we get proper chances to eat right before and right after, good, fantastic, yes, yes, good!

I need to make Shanice's bed right now, so... Bye and see you whether in a minute (I love to type) or tomorrow. :)

Back to drearyness, but there's more...

The end of another holiday, the beginning of a new academic year, and the start of something very different, I would think. Awesome, this blog has spellcheck, that's neat, I can't type much in the mornings. Hi all of you, anybody reading this, I'm starting this blog so I can keep track of everything that goes on this year, this being year eleven and everything. Lots of exciting things are going to happen this year! My mother and her boyfriend just bought a house, which means I'm moving out of this *rather large* flat... For the first time in ever, actually, as my parents lived here for two years before I was born and my father moved out when I was nine. Ah, back to drearyness. But there's more! I seem to have picked up a little sister along the way, just before the holidays. Sometimes she's a little annoying, but she can't help that. Everything's pretty cool. I'm going to briefly be telling you guys what homework I got so I can compare it and make sure my teachers aren't being mean sods just to me and not to the rest of you...

Holiday Homework:

# Art- 3 pictures of Jean Michel Basquiat's work.

# Child Development- Four pages, one for each of PIES [Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social] Developmental stages, and milestones, and examples, and find a child to study who is under five years old. Maybe two or three children. twins would be great. or a whole class.

# English- begin writing up a coursework we've told you nothing about. Fun fun!

# German- read through some of this year's work [yr10] and don't forget it or prepare to be impaled upon a spike and shown as an example.

# Maths- ARGH Coursework; Stats coursework. first hypothesis out of three.

# Science- read C4....(this one was incredibly fun if I do say so myself. what nerdishness is this?!)

# Business Studies- you know what? sod it. you're ahead of the class. have six weeks without revenue, go on, treat yourself. :)

....SO, yeah, that's quite a lot to do in one holiday, plus getting accustomed from it being just me and my mum to me, her, her boyfriend, and his daughter. CONFUSING doesn't cover it. PLUS, they've moved in, but this is a two bedroom flat, and mum knows I don't share well, so we've bought a house, as I said, which means packing up a decade and a half of crap and shipping ourselves off to what we all think is an incredibly beautiful house. thank god it has a large garage, we have four cars now. actually, one is a monster vw van, but I'm not complaining, it got us to France and back, so waay.

Have a good year, and good luck!
