***The Random Ramblings of Issy***

Righty ho I got sick of this and ignored it for at least I year so I've made another one called issylove (COMPLETELY forgotten how to do the link thing to it)

so add me if you care, like, at all. if not then don't bother.

BYE.

I wish I was really, really, really, really, really drunk.

Should have stayed at the pub. Bed is a bad place.

My best friend moved to Yorkshire today so I decided to partake of some Comfort-Food:

<3 him tbh

OK, so the we got a bit of a shock at the Cryer gig on Friday, it was completely sold out on the door. I figured it would be like the last couple of gigs I had been to there, with not enough people to make a decent 15-year-old Wall Of Death but it seems that a whole new generation of mini-moshers has sprung up out of nowhere. And I must say I'm quite relieved about it too.

We were on first (baaad luck) but I think we got the crowd warmed up pretty well! When we got up on the stage, I expected Donna or Alice to start interacting with the crowd but nothing happened...so I ended up improvising and can't even remember what I said. I just know that I said "awesome" too much. I think the set went really well and nobody noticed when we screwed up a bit (apart from Alex but he's just picky - YOU try singing and playing drums at the same time!! :P) The band stayed together really well even when I decided to cut the Ramones song in half without telling them. Haha.

It was weird because only four of my friends (Lee, Alex, Anna and Jack) and my Dad came to see me, please note now that I am not in the least bit annoyed or angry at anyone for not coming, you don't even need to bother apologising :) it was just strange that I was basically playing in front of complete strangers, the only friendly face I could see was Lee (or "The Big Skanking Goth" as i referred to him as when I was trying to teach the crowd to skank - 15 year olds need EDUCATING in the ways of dancing) and occassionally Alex. Still, it's what I need to get used to, I'm not always going to be doing gigs with a line of my friends in the front row.

Alex, Anna and I stuck around untill the last band were playing, we mostly hung around backstage whilst I chatted to all the other bands - making connections is pretty important I reckon. I messaged them all on Myspace when I got home too and they've all replied and in the long run this should probably help us get more shows! Anyway, it's put me in a pretty good mood for the weekend and hopefully this coming week. Oh yes, Alice and I went to out Reading Steward training yesterday up in London which was pretty good (after we had finished getting lost in Soho) and I now know how to put people into the recovery position and the like, so it's OK to pass out when I'm around :)

"Issy you need to update your Livejournal. None of us know what's going on in your life"

Well pretty much the same as what's going on in all of your lives (If you have exams this year at least) with the added bonuses of worrying constantly about the gig tomorrow, worried nobody will turn up and getting kicked out of pubs because I'm not seventeen until the end of June.

Plus being in denial that this girl who has actually become my sister over the past nine years is suddenly moving from two doors down from me to a six hour car drive away. Just like that. I have been prepared to miss all my friends who are going to uni (it has happened every year for the past three years) but I never thought she would really leave. Yeah she went to uni but she never really left and I've taken her for granted. It's ok I can talk about this, she doesn't go on livejournal anymore.

I've also been pissing myself off recently, I keep crying and when I start I can't stop. Whatever the cause is, I find it really, really, really, REALLY pathetic.

On the upside, I now have a hole in my face (nose piercing) which I have already threatened to be chucked out of school for for the last three weeks (bullshit)



Edit: I use commas too much.

My mother composed a poem, or Blues song if you will, about my day:



"woke up this morning, wouldn't get out of bed"

"said "go away mummy" got a pain in my head"

"she said "you gotta get going" you've no time to lose"

"get outta your bed girl and keep off the booze"

"woke up this morning, don't wanna get up"

"my eyes are still stinging, i'm gonna throw up"

"got outta bed and sat down to 'Scrubs'"

"but no cure for hangover, gotta get back to the pub"

"been working on history, queen Liz is a don"

"but Edward is stupid and Henry is gone"

oh no the Blues has entered the dreaded realm of History revision

"my daddy is painting, wants to see Mr. Bean"

"can't bear to go with him but won't cause a scene"

Issy Love
sorry about stapling your softmints
They Are Chaos says:
I actually can't get ito them now
Issy Love
I WIN
Issy Love
well, it's for your own good
Issy Love
you ate too many today
They Are Chaos says:
but I like Softmints
Issy Love
no.

I also disturbed Alex today by pinching his bum. I need to stop doing things just because they disturb Alex.








I know I won't though.

Good old Overton Grange. Second time I've ever been in there, got a little guided tour from past students Donna and Becca whilst Alice silently panicked as she's the one who had to face everyone tomorrow if we messed up. But we didn't (I don't think anyway)

Music tech boy was GORRRGEOUS (haha Becci =P) but messed up the bass a bit. Couldn't actually hear it for a while, poor Becca, her bass wasn't even turned on when we started playing our last gig! So yeah, it was fun :)

Come to our gig at Rockstock (Charles Cryer) on Friday April 20th!! Tickets £5 - if you buy them from me - £7 on the door. So buy them from me :P It'll be ace!

Ermmm in other news I got a merit in my grade 6 flute exam (thanks Sophie and Lee for your lovely texts) so I'm a happy bunny. Apart from the fact that I had to go into school today ON AN INSET DAY to do an English mock. As usual i did the question nobody else did but I found it fine :)

63 minutes till the last episode of Skins this series.

Becci Issy Out.

Today I freaked out my Dad, my brother and myself.
I don't think I've ever had period pain this bad or for such a long time. I couldn't stop screaming and a boiling hot bath didn't make it any better. I had to get out and then fainted on my parent's bed due to a combination of the pain, the temperature and the hyperventilation. I think I lay there wrapped in towels for quite a while, refusing to put clothes on for some reason. My Dad was almost as disturbed by the fact that I couldn't move and he could hardly see me breathing for about an hour after that and I couldn't talk. It was really, really horrible and I can imagine that the kind of pain one gets from giving birth is basically like that but worse. This sounds melodramatic but that's how it was.
I think I need to go on the pill. This is bad news as I can't even remember to take my iron supplements every morning :(

I think my life at the moment can be summed up in one simple sentence:

I just don't have enough time

I've had to neglect so many things recently from my friends to doing a talk in Christian Union today because we had to rehearse Swing Band instead. I'm doing the following things in our school's Rag Week concert tomorrow:

1) Swing Band
2) Jazz Quartet
3) Flute Choir
4) Accoustic Guitar
5) All That Jazz

ARGH! I got home at half nine today. I've been out for thirteen hours today ><

my brain is just in meltdown. we had a timed essay to do for homework, it was an excellent question about religion on pre-1770 poetry and i was actually looking forward to doing it but I only wrote a side and a half in one hour and had to hand it in that way. and i'm so tired i fell asleep in my grandad's car and apparently i have stopped using capital letters. just great.

weekend seems so far away...

Well, it's seventeen minutes past midnight and I have just finished an art essay. ART essay I tell you! I though I would be all clever and original with my title but it turns out that choosing titles that have never been touched on means that there are surprisingly few example essays that you can sponge ideas off. I really ought to think things out in future. Anyway, I think I will go to bed now even though my sketch book is still incomplete. I will either finish it off tomorrow or cry at Ms. Woodfine who loves me even more now I have got an unconditional offer from Wimbledon College of Art and Design. Yes I did say unconditional. Technically, I could walk out of school right now, well not right now as I'm at home but you get my meaning. However, I'm just not cool enough to do that. I actually like school (except the 'night before the deadlin' rush. Although I always have Natalie on msn to empathise with me over that particular issue. And others.)

I'm so tired my vision is blurry. But i've updated. I have. And that's the important thing. Good night my lovelies x

Your Japanese Name Is...

Rumiko Saionji

coool

Thanks very much for you concern but the Lewis has been found and he's OK. Just a bit stupid for leaving his house at 2 in the morning without his coat or his phone and without telling his parents...

Lewis has gone missing, if anyone knows where he is please tell me or becci as soon as possible, thanks.

issy is tired and confused by technology which requires her to enter the same entry over two times so emily (queen bee for those who didnt know) is being kind enough to try and recreate what poor issy has already typed twice:

the gist of it was that she and me are sitting in front of the computer while becci and jess are attempted to make nathan join them in a sexual orgy and rose is just participating for the hell of it

she adds that she is weird and hyper and proves this by telling u guys that she skipped down the road earlier

tata people xXx

By the way, I can't be bothered to make a new journal so I am just changing this one to 'friends only' which doesn't make any difference to most of you.

If i haven't done so already just comment here and I will add you =)

BECCI HAS HACKED!

Okay, I am updating Issy's jounal for her to tell you all that Issy's band will be playing at the Charles Cryer Theatre, Carshalton on Wednesday 30th of March. Tickets are £5 (I think), and you can get them by asking Issy or Jamie.

God love y'all!
