Had WELLINGTON and every son
That fought with him, been Dandy Beaus,
They ne'er had stopp'd for shell and shot
To knock them down and spoil their clothes!
Am I being stupid, or does this verse imply that if the soldiers were "Dandy Beaus" they wouldn't be able to fight in the war because they'd be afraid of messing up their appearance?
( Rest of the poem is here - it's rather amusing )

Dissertation Rambles

Over the past three months I've been slowly researching for my dissertation, although most of the time it doesn't actually feel like research. I suppose it helps that I'm deeply interested in my subject and want to devour as much information about it as I possibly can. I know that I'm going to be doing far too much research - it's only ten thousand words - but everything is so interesting that I can't stop!

In other news, I'm discovering a passion for cooking again. I really really really like baking (I made a splended apple pie last night!) and I want to learn how to cook savoury foods as well. It's a lot more fun when there are other people cooking with you though, or if you have lots of people to cook for. Dinner parties at my house anyone? ♥
A picture post will be coming soon: I spent the last week in Chester with jezzifishie and calnen and it was absolutely wonderful. We went to Wales for the day and visited an amazing castle with lots of tall towers! We also made a lot of delicious meals: apple pie (Lucy taught me how to make them), roast beef, beef sammiches and beef stew! It was really nice spending time with them and being introduced to a new place. Chester is also home to a Hello Kitty shop so I imagine I'll be going back quite a lot!
Term starts in a couple of weeks, thank goodness. I'm actually really excited about starting university again - I'll finally have something to do!
P.S. For anyone who hasn't heard Shakira's old music, do so now. She used to sound like Pink!

( Onboard for a week. )
Unfortunately my battery ran out - alack! - and so I didn't get that many photos taken. I'm sure there will be plenty of photos uploaded from the other members, however.
It was a good holiday and it would be cool to do something similar again next year. Some of the highlights of this holiday were:
♥ calnen getting called a girl by some kids for singing Smoke on the Water. Uh, yeah.
♥ Singing Jerusalem at the top of our voices down a dark tunnel.
♥ Getting drunk and being excessively silly, mostly accompanied by Jez.
♥ Speaking to people I haven't spoken to for two years.
Naturally there were more, but my brain isn't working too well at the moment. However, I think I've begun to stop swaying which is promising. Hooray for sea legs!
P.S. I've decided to bring Animal Crossing to life and send people random presents! Hoho!
P.P.S. I made a cool friends only banner, featuring a lot of you making silly faces!

Last weekend my dad finished painting my room for me - hooray! So I've been throwing tons of old stuff out, putting things away, and piling things up on top of my desk. However, I did some cool things tonight:

Thank you, Hannah, for the party - it rocked the socks.
On Saturday night I went to the Charman's house and watched Grosse Point Blank (I think that's how you spell it?) It's a funny film and the main characters were hot, which is always a good thing. Sunday was spent in Ware at the rock festival in the priory. The bands were okay, but really only served as background music for us. Lots of smut was written - I wrote Willow/Vampire Willow smut, Nick wrote Ed/Percy Weasley smut and Adam wrote Ed/Oliver Wood smut. I have some strange friends.
So yesterday/today was Hannah's party. There were lots of scary people from Croydon, most of whom were sitting in the kitchen getting stoned. I pestered a couple of people, but other than that I just hid and annoyed Fiona all night. I had the chance to talk to an extremely drunk Alena which was really great because I've not had a chance to actually sit down and talk to her. I'd also like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to the said person because it was her birthday yesterday. Myself, Rachel, Alena and Bex sat around outside at around midnight and had our first "bisexual mother's meeting with coffee" meeting. We're going to meet up everynight and talk about...well, I'm not entirely sure what we do talk about, but we talk nonetheless. I would like to point out that Rachel and I didn't touch a drop of alcohol last night! Getting drunk isn't all that great anymore, plus I have to work today - yay.
The one thing missing from Hannah's party was Tom. I also now appreciate how hard it is to get to sleep when two people are lying next to you/squishing you while smooching very loudly. Needless to say, no sleep was had.
I'm sorry if this entry has made no sense to anyone whatsoever. I've only just woken up and am feeling very weird(!) But now I shall have a bath, get changed, then walk to work. Oh, the fun! The excitement!
Sacha.

First of all I'd like to apologise to Chris and B for randomly poofing this morning - my computer crashed then my mother wanted to go to bed. Secondly I'd like to apologise for my previous post and I want you all to ignore it am going to delete it after I've finished updating this.
Yesterday afternoon was horrible. My mother and I got into a fight which left us both in tears, then my dad interrupted and said it was all my fault that mum got so upset all the time. So, after tidying up my room, I went for a very long walk in the rain. No doubt I looked the picture of beauty and elegance, but at the time I didn't really care. I bought a new sketchbook, though, and a pencil, pen and rubber to go with it. Am thinking of filling it up with sketches then giving it to someone.
Speaking of, Tom has gone away with Chris to Cornwall for two weeks. I asked him for a tee-shirt to borrow while he was away, and he lent me his monkey one which I haven't taken off since yesterday. In addition to this, he also lent me several CDs which shall be copied soon. I'm missing him already.
I suppose that's it, really. I would like to emphasise the fact that I'm working this afternoon and someone should definately come and see me. Especially, you Nick.
Sacha.

If you haven't already watched it, do not put yourself through the torture of watching A Knight's Tale. I was halfway through watching it and my fingers were itching to get hold of a very sharp kitchen utensil and killing myself horribly.
First of all they got the costumes completely wrong. The time setting, I assume, is around 1300 - 1400, quite possibly nearing the 1500s, although if that were the case then Chaucer would have to be a zombie. I've been to a place where the dress up and role-play people from a Tudor timeline and nowhere could I see the women wearing a Victorian-style dress and hat. They also wouldn't have the women as bold as they are in the stupid film and they most certainly wouldn't laugh when in Church or mock the Bishop. If that had really happened, then they would have been completely disgraced and regarded as nothing more than a prostitute, regardless of status.
That was the first thing that got to me. The second thing was the stupid, stupid, stupid romance scenes. I will admit that I read a great deal of romance novels and have lots of ideas about the 'ideal romance' but that doesn't involve corny lines and the guy falling in love with the girl just because she happens to be stunningly beautiful. I mean, the main character claims he's in love with this chick even though he doesn't know her name! He says in a dreamy voice that her name is Aphrodite and her lips are Venus - GAY!
I switched it off after that because I couldn't bear to see any more of it. Please can someone lend me a decent film to watch? Sigh!
I forgot to mention on my other post that last night/morning I managed to convince my mother to make an account for Shards. Role-playing with her when she's slightly tipsy is so funny - her character, Ink, is this cold and ruthless black mage who grants no favours to anyone. She's sarcastic, witty and horrible. We clicked on this random guys profile and after reading it, my mum just burst out into laughter and decided to humour the poor guy with her character. Unfortunatly, Shards is being GAY and won't let us get into her account, so I've given her one of mine. Still, it'll be interesting to see what happens if she gets addicted to it...
I hope I can go to the Mansfields house tonight. Jen and David are spending the night and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get home or not, because my dad will want to get drunk with David. Still, I'm sure I can work something out, even if I have to get the bus home or something.
Still bored and have absolutely nothing to watch. Someone come and entertain me. Please? I'll pay good money...

I'm bored, damp and waiting for this afternoon to eventually roll around.
On Wednesday, as mentioned before, I went to Portsmouth University with Rachel. The University itself is lovely and the course is just pure sex. I now think I want to do English Lit' rather than creative writing, but I've got an extra year to decide on what I want to do. I have mixed feelings about staying on after year thirteen - it'll give me a chance to (hopefully) gain a little more confidence, I'll be able to get decent grades to actually get into University and it'll be almost like a gap year but school. The down side is that all my friends are going off to University at the end Sixth Form and I'll probably not see them very often. School will be incredibly lonely because I don't think the few 'friends' I have in the year below me like me enough to let me 'hang out' with them. Still, that's another matter entirely and I've gone off subject!
I didn't really like the actual Portsmouth town. There's just something about it that screams armpit and from what I've heard living by the seaside 24/7 is horrible. Plus it would appear that the only source of entertainment to be had involves lots of swimming, pubs and nightclubs. While going to the pub occasionally with friends is nice, doing it everynight would get incredibly boring. Nightclubs scare me and I'd rather swallow glass than go swimming. Plus the notion of having big, scary drunk sailors milling around at 2AM scares me, as does the fact that there will be lotsandlotsandlotsandlots of water.
We went on a little tour guide around the town on some coaches the University had organised for us, although I had to go on my own because Rachel was looking at Marine Biology and I was looking at English. On the tour I saw the spot where the Duke of Buckingham (I think?) was shot and lots of World War statues/tributes. I also got waved to by a very cute little boy who was staring out of the window of his house and our bus happened to be caught up by traffic lights right outside. I waved back to him and grinned. I think that was the only person who actually acknowledged my existance on the whole entire trip (apart from Rachel and her dad, of course) but that was okay.
On the car trip there, I started writing a random story about how Yuffie (my Shards character) met Kunoichi (Rachel's Shards character) and in the end it turned into a role-play session only on paper. It was fun and weird because it was internet role-playing only offline! I also began a random Shards-Yuffie story, but only wrote a page or so of it.
Yesterday was fun! I texted the rather hungover Fiona and demanded her presence be made in Hartham with the rest of us (Tom, Rachel, Chris, Stacey, Adam and Nick). Tom, Chris and Stacey all went swimming, so Rachel, Fiona and I decided to wander into Hertford and get something to eat while they boys were trying to drown themselves. I also dragged Fi and Rae into various shoe shops to try and find some cheap boots, but alas I couldn't find any! I also dragged them into Claire's where I bought purple and black striped tights and a really nice velvet purse with a cross on it. After that, we headed back to the swimming pool and watched the boys dive a bit but then got bored and sat outside in the foyer, waiting for the twins to turn up. When they eventually got off the train, we went over to our tree and set up camp there. We also met Nick and Magz and forced them to come sit with us instead of being a romantic couple by themselves. After a while, everyone who wasn't myself, Fiona or Nick decided they were hungry and went off to get food for an hour and a half! Despite this ANNOYANCE, we found ways to amuse ourselves. This involved: kinky whipping using a towel, lesbian sex, hair sex, hyper sex, pro plus flavoured ice cream, death, horses and paedophiles. I died of old age with a hard-on in the shape of a brush when the other people came back. It's amazing what one can achieve with a cloak and a pair of wet swimming trunks...
The remaining hours of the afternoon were spent annoying people, especially Tom, and being hyper. Then we went to Jen's house in the evening and had a barbeque. Tom and I were being rather anti-social, but I don't think anyone minded much. Besides, I won't be able to snuggle with him for a whole two weeks, so methinks I'm allowed to be selfish and claim him for a couple of hours!
Today I'm planning on meeting up with my random MSN friend, Daniel. When informing my brother this on the way to Mazz's house, he told me not to be stupid and meet up with someone I met on the internet, but I think he's just being a paranoid little sibling. I'm going to show Daniel where Gamesmart lives and he's going to get guitar strings! I also plan on buying more tights and, if I have enough money, buy some Love Hina models, too. going to sit inside with my blanket and tea and watch Buffy/random films or play on the PS.
I'm going to end this entry for now, but I'm planning on ranting about a certain person later on. Don't worry, I'll LJ-cut it so people don't have to read it and cringe - especially you.
Have fun, my little ferrets!
Sacha.

I'm going to wear my cloak today! I wonder how many people will remark on it? I wonder if I'll get beaten up? Ah, I love living here! It's so much fun.
I had a strange dream last night. First of all I dreamt that my mother had bought some tropical fish along with a fishbowl from Bowmans (a reallyreallyreally cheap store in Hoddesdon for those who don't know). She put all the fish into the tank and they were swimming about happily, although I pointed out that we didn't have pink gravel like Jez. I turned around and suddenly I was yanked backwards by this tentacle (hentai, anyone?)which had crawled out of the tank and after I screamed at my mother to help me, she just said, "Oh, yes, you have to be careful about those creatures - you could choke on a leaf." After I'd distangled myself from the tentacle-creature, I looked around and the fish were all dead and rotting because my mum had gotten a cheap fishbowl and forgotten to buy a heat for the fish. It was gross!
Then I went on to dream something about walking along this stone ornament by a lake/river and being really pissed off with Dylan because he had accused me of doing something, although I can't remember what. He was sitting down near Tom who, when I tried to sit down next to him and cuddle/kiss him, fell into the river on purpose - to get away from me? I don't know.
I dream the weirdest things, man.
Now I am off to Hartham to annoy people! Muwahahaha!
