So. I was miffed. Seriously. Jodie to win? Seriously?
From the beginning, I thought that it would be between Jessie and Rachel, but supported Francesca as well. Let's face it... she was pretty cool. The voice on her was so different and edgy that it would have added to Nancy's character. Shame she couldn't hit notes. So she went out and my number one favourite became Rachel. My god the talent! Consistent high levels of performance and such determination (did you see her with the rats?). But why do the public hate her?? Did they not see her perform "Cabaret"? Better than that stupid song that Jessie did that everyone was in love with. But I heard today that Rachel had an audition for the show "Cabaret", which would give her a much better part than Nancy, to be honest. So, back to the point. The public hates Rachel and she goes out. Then Jodie wins?? What? Did no one see Gwion and Jessie together? So natural. She looked like she was hanging out with her younger brother rather than performing on stage. The others looked choreographed but their performance looked real. I thought they had it in the bag from that. But Jodie? She had a horrible voice. And cried too much. And, not to be rude but, wouldn't you have crash dieted and lost the two stone as soon as you got past the first stage of auditions? The highlight of the night, for me though, had to be the appearance from the lovely Lee Mead. I'm going to see him (again) in a few weeks. Yay! And by the way, the public noticed Lee's little kiss to Denise and her little wave... it caused much jealousy in our house... towards both parties.
Also... Rip Her To Shreds... just how I'm feeling right now.

And again... I've been off this site for a couple of months. Mainly because I have very little to say apart from "SHIT SHIT GCSEs!!" (which, by the way, started on my birthday with my German oral test). Oh, wait. There is news... I swam in a gala on 03/05/08. It was my first gala since being promoted to county and I did pretty well. Four personal bests in five races wasn't too bad at all, but they were all by only about a second. I wanted faster!! Except my last event; 100m Butterfly (a favourite of mine). Because of things, I wasn't racing until about 22:15 for that because the meet had taken so long. Anyway, I was against one of my friends and we'd whipped each other to fever pitch with an argument of "I'm going to win!" "No, I'm going to win!". But I knew I had to win because she's twelve and I'm now sixteen (the shame!). But I won. And knocked five seconds off of my previous time. And got a silver medal. And was only one second slower than the gold medallist. Who was twenty-nine. Also put me one second slower than Mitchell. Gah. But things are going well. I'll beat him next time. So, my german and spanish orals... went pretty well... I froze on one question in the german one (how on earth does she expect me to explain in detail the effects of smoking on the body... in german!!) and kept speaking german in my spanish one (like saying "sind" instead of "son"). But it's all over now and I should have got a B for Spanish and at least an A for German. I hope. So what else is happening? Well, it's hot. And I got sunburned. A little. Also... totally obsessed with Derek/Addison, from Grey's Anatomy. Lol. I'm a loser.

Oh my poor neglected LiveJournal with only three (is it three? I didn't look... just skipped straight to posting) entries and nothing of real value. Let me first explain my absence and then explain my aprupt return.
My total lack of posting for nearly eight months is down to a couple of things, one of which is good and one of which is not so, but will be over soon. I'm sure that with a tiny piece of intuition, you will realise that the latter of these is, in fact, exams. This school year is the year of the biggest and most important set of exams that I will probably have to take. It's needless to say that I am both nervous and working hard and my confidence is only boosted by the fact that I nearly achieved straight As in my mocks (I only recieved one B, and that was in Spanish, a course that I've only been studying for a year and a half). That was pretty good for me. However, that was before Christmas and now the real exams are just around the corner; the pressure is really on. Adding to this pressure is the fact that I now swim for county; that means training four weekday evenings after school and three mornings per week. This makes me very tired and also cuts into the time I need in order to do my schoolwork. I manage, but it's hard. Why then, you may be asking, am I at the computer rather than revising? Alas, I would answer, I would much rather do this than revise right at this moment. Not wise, but what can you do? I have also dug from the archives of my notebooks, a Lupin/Tonks fic that I may publish somewhere at some point. Another reason for coming back is that fact that I have just discovered both my love for a certain Asreal/Marissa pairing (from His Dark Materials) and also a brilliant community on this site. I intend to lurk around there a little and post something when I get an inspired idea (unfortunately, I haven't read His Dark Materials in a long time for the same reasons that this has been my first blog post in months).

Well, I just got back from swimming and I think I did pretty well, considering I was out for over a month. I got some good times as well, for 25m:
Front Crawl: 15.8 secs
Butterfly: 16.3 secs
And even better, I got to race the guys because they're the only ones faster than me. Woot.
