Tickets booked for New York yesterday. I'm there from Dec 21st to Dec 28th, so I need to work out my Victoria christmassing around that. I feel the same way I used to feel before I went ice-skating when I was little - simulaneously sugarrush excited and heartstoppingly scared. Yay/arg.

It is officially christmas month today and it is snowing. I love baby jesus and the festival of his birth a whole lot.

Hey everyone, Mad Little Shirley is here for the next two weeks. I KNOW that some of you will want/need to meet her, so if you want to meet the woman that bore the woman that bore lovely me, give me a call!

I went to the Big City today for some shopping.
I saw my Mol and had fudge and lunch.
I got some reeally beautiful/fugly shoes. or jolie-laide as the Frenches would say. I can't make up my mind on them, but I'm leaning towards love. I feel the same way about halva.
A new jacket, watch and necklace.
I'm getting (another) cold.
What are we doing for my birthday?

BTW, I'm not coming home until next week now. I started having too much fun.

I'm in New York.

I'm baaack.

I had an awesome/phenomenal time. Lots of dancing (both the cool kind and BALLROOM), lots and lots of champagne (um, $500 worth to be precise, even with the 50% discount. HA.), hanging out with John Cleese, a shipboard romance and hanging out with actual New York Society People. I had a grad party in the champagne lounge last night with thirty of my new friends from the boat. But I missed you lot.

I need to hear everything about Grad asap. I'm coming into school tomorrow despite suffering from intensual jetlag. I love you guys. and I love ships.

Photos soon!!!

There is uberstrange fatherdrama going on. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

( my boat )

Cut to me peeing myself with excitement. and wishing that I had actually got my grad dress altered. FUCK. I never got around to it.

OKAY, I have a huge dilemma. I have no idea what to do.

My mum has been offered a guest-lecturer position on the Queen Mary 2, the world's biggest (and newest) ocean liner in the world from June 8th to June 15th. It's sailing from NEW YORK to LONDRES and she can take a guest (ie moi). oh my god, how fucking amazing, how awesome....but hold on a cotton-pickin' second isn't that when GRAD is? Oh yes.

SO, do I miss grad and go on the most fabulous boat ever invented or do I take part in the once-in-a-lifetime experience of my own graduation?

Thinking points for this one:

• My mama is definitely going on the ship, so my grad would be sans maman anyway.
• Seth Cohen didn't miss his prom
• The Olsens did
• I went to prom once already
• The boat is legally Britain so I can drink on it. And there's a champagne lounge and nightclub on board.
• I'll miss a week of school
• It's GRAD

Everybody please HELP.

OH EM JEE
I have been emailing with the guy from the gym. We're pretty much getting married.

TODAY IS MY HALF BIRTHDAY.

To celebrate I'm going to see Sweatshop Union tonight. Well, okay, it's really unrelated to the half-birthday festivities. But it should be awesome anyways.

I think I finally have somewhere to do my work experience. So I will be able to graduate! hurrah.

Mr Mathers (English teacher) tried to set me up with his son. Aglidhfdfhdsfdjk. so wierd.
