Easter School (Eugh.) and Britain's "Gay Capital"

I woke up this morning (somehow) and the first thing i knew was that i had Easter School to go to today.
Not helped by the fact that the rain was extremely heavy and i didn't get to sleep until at least 2am, so i only got about 5 hours sleep. (I swear msn will be the death of me :P)

I quickly jumped in the shower, got out, dried my hair, had some cereal then went out the door. Luckily my dad was on hand to give me a lift but regardless, i was still in a very zombie-like state.

So when i got to school i eventually livened up a bit, there were more people who i get on with who i didn't expect to be there. Alex was there, Louis was there, Steven wasn't haha, actually i have a funny story about him but i'll tell it later on.

My first class was english, and these aren't normal 50-minute lessons, one class lasts the whole morning (9-12) and the other lasts the whole afternoon (12:30-15:30)
Good thing i got to sit beside Alex, but it was also quite a handy lesson.
The teacher went over the best ways to answer questions from an unseen passage and, admittedly, i did find it quite useful.
One point we were talking about a journalist describing George Bush as a political dinosaur (as you do), then she put me on the spot and asked me another way to describe a dinosaur and i just blurted out "Prehistoric animal" without even thinking....
Got a well done from her and a few nods of approval from other people lol, i was quite chuffed with that :)
Not much else to mention about english tho, was rather uneventful apart from that.

At lunch, i just made a quick trip to cafe as there wasn't enough time to go to the shops on the main road and i returned for 3 hours of maths, what fun....

Sat beside Alex again this time, as well as Louis.
It was quite a good lesson too, the more maths i do, the more i will learn obviously, and therefore increase my mark in the final exam here's hoping.

Overall, Easter School was quite a good thing i think. I'll be back in tomorrow for modern studies in the morning and biology i think next monday afternoon.

But with today's lessons all done with, the only thing left to do was return home so Alex, Alan (the cutie :D) and i got the train home.
Alan had to get off early :(
Me and Alex got off the next stop which is actually one stop before mine but i wasn't gonna let Alex walk home in the rain by himself of course.

So i got drenched. But it was worth it, we stopped caring about the weather and just started laughing about what's been happening with Steven and a three-legged dog we seen being walked in the street lol, which then moved onto a conversation about a no-legged dog being transported around on a skateboard lmao, ahhh good times.
We parted ways tho, still laughing about Steven.

So here's the story :

For the past few days, Steven has been in Brighton. Brighton is also renowned for being the "gay capital" of Britain.
Steven goes down there with his dad maybe once or twice a year as his grandparents live there.
So anyway, he has been sending me a few texts one saying that the weather was sunny, 27 degrees celcius and another said "English girls are hot and think i'm hot too"
Lol, you wish Steven.
So i thought i would share some of these texts around with a few friends coz i just knew the reception they would get.
And i was right, everybody just laughed lol.
So i sent a text back saying that 27 degrees celcius doesn't exist in Britain, let alone in April.
And he's all "Well my granda's barometer is really accurate"
"What? More accurate than the Met Office?"

So everyone was laughing at the crap he was spouting there.
But of course, the main point is Steven and his dad actually being in the so-called "gay capital" of Britain.
Two of the most unlikely people you would think of going there.
And then, before he goes there, being all talk as usual, he's giving it large about how he's gonna go to Brighton and turn everyone straight "the way they should be"
Aye, just get walking.
Pretty glad to see the back of him last week to be honest :P

Wish i had grandparents in Brighton lol, that would be cool.
Funnily enough, one of my cousins goes to university in Brighton....wait a minute....naah, she's got a boyfriend from what i know :P

And speaking of cousins, in a few posts time i have something very cool to mention about when i will be seeing them next, it's gonna be cool!


Love you guys,
Rowan




Hehe :P

Just gotta love that guitar solo, no?
One of Queen's longest from what i know.....

  1. Sounds like you had a great day, bro! Glad school went well, glad you had some laughs, good work on the 'prehistoric animal' thought, too, you sure pulled that one out of your arse!

    Steven in Brighton, wow... That's funny... But not everybody in Brighton is gay, too. There's somebody I know in Brighton that I kinda sorta had a thing for *hides* but I haven't talked to her in a while. But yea, straight people do exist there :-)

    Anyway, I'll talk to you later, have an awesome afternoon, and try to catch up on your sleep tonight. MSN will only be the death of you if you let it be :-)

    Love, always!

  2. Good thing holiday school coz the teachers usually have come in specially too and don't have the usual crap heads to contend with in the staff room!

    Probably possible to learn more there than in several days of ordinary lessons.

    Brighton! God once or twice got very, very pissed there - and that's def. another story!

  6. Doesn't sound like a very bad day. As long as you can get something out of it. Like I said before, we usually build these things up in our heads and then they turn out to be pretty fun actually. Alright maybe not fun, but useful.

    Pretty funny about Steven and his dad. Maybe being there will rub off on them and they'll change their views. Probably not, but one can hope!

  9. I have many names that I use to describe our previous president... They include words like 'bankrupt', 'stupid', 'pathetic', etc., etc.... I prefer not to use his full name, in the hope that somehow this keeps him invisible to me, and it all was just a bad dream...

    On the Easter school- I had a feeling that it would be tolerable and so it seems... with the side benefits you describe.... Now, imagine the quirks of life and fate, that result in your train ride and wonderful walk home with this great guy... hmmm.. You're livin' large kid!! Keep at it!! You never know what life may bring!! luv, tman><3

  10. Thats got to suck, 2 week vacation and you got to go to school to. Why give you a vacation? I am glad it isn't to bad, but you know they are cutting into my Chat time with you....lol, I know MSN is going to be the death of you. I am really sorry. Wish we had same time zone.

    Is Brighton the same as our San Francisco? I never been to San Francisco that I know of so I dont Know what it is like, but I heard.

    I love Queen...................... Hugs JJ
