Just move on up, move on up!



If I had any more emotions in me right now I'd be sure to burst! Recently, I have found a liking to feel good old 'funk' and 'soul' so that is why move on up by Curtis Mayfield is at the top of this post.
Well, have I had a hell of a fortnight or what.
On Sunday I arrived back from Lithuania (i know, who goes there!) from my cousins wedding and was practically dying from a hangover and the fact I had my German oral!

February 2010








These are my top 5 tracks for the album(s) The Fame/The Fame Monster:
  1. Bad Romance
  2. Love Game
  3. Summer Boy
  4. Speechless
  5. Poker Face
Lady Gaga has to be the strangest most genius artist that has ever existed. She makes pop music likable to me and that is rather hard. Lady Gaga has done duets with artists such as Beyonce and Akon but she still manages to pull off one of the best albums of 2009, all by herself. There's a nice clip of my favourite Gaga song and I hope you can say you like her too.

Thanks for reading, Freya

3 Slags on a Corner : Chapter Four

Four - Louise

It was weird waking up in new place, I was a lot colder than normal and had a huge duvet over me. It looks like dad and Monique stocked up on essentials; in Monique’s case, nail polish and remover. In dad’s case he brought his glasses. What useful guardians I have.

I climbed out of bed and stepped onto the floor. Wooden, no carpet, great. I had already unpacked, I’d spent all weekend sorting out my stuff. There was nothing out of place, and no boxes. You could call me a neat freak, but you got to no that the only reason I clean it at first is so when it gets messed up later, I’ll know where it really needs to go for special occasions. I grabbed my new uniform which I collected on Saturday. It was mostly navy, with a short checked navy and grey skirt. If I wasn’t cold enough as it is, I now have to wear a skirt everyday with sheer tights. Who wears sheer anymore. I walked down the stairs in my ever faithful pair of “comfortable” shoes. Thanks dad. The witch and dad appeared at the bottom of the stairs; my dads face lit up when he saw me.
“Ohhhhhh, Loui look at you!” My dad was grinning from ear to ear. “Look Monique, go on look at her!”
“Oh believe me I’m looking at her.” She had a grimace on her face, but I made a point of not looking back at her.

“So dad what’s for breakfast?” I pulled out a chair and sat opposite Monique, making sure I gave her the dirtiest look I could manage this early in the morning. His smile faded and he pushed his glasses up his nose.
“Um, sorry love I seemed to have forgotten that you needed breakfast. But I can always stick a few slices of bread in the toaster. We have jam!” He grinned, but the obvious pleasing smile didn’t reach his eyes. He seemed to be hiding something, but I didn’t feel like pestering him right now.
“It’s OK. Actually I’ll skip the breakfast, I’m late anyway,” I said, pushing my chair back.
“Hun, you’ve still got an hour,” exclaimed my dad. “Yeah, but I want to make sure that I’m at school on time. What if I get lost on the way? Can I just have some money for lunch?” as I grabbed my bag, and headed over to dad. “ Sorry love, I’ve only got some coppers at the moment,” he turned his head, he was definitely hiding something, but I was distracted by Monique’s mumbling.
“Oh for goodness sake, I think I have some money,” she fumbled around in her purse and pulled out a £50 note. “Here, take this,” she said shoving it at me. “Cash it for me, and you can take a few quid. Bring me back the change.”
“Of course,” I said as she strutted out the room, giving her a fake smile. “Bye dad,” I bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I turned around and headed for the front door.
“Bye love. Have a nice day. Be safe now,” I only heard a whisper now as I shut the door on his words. My iPod drowned out the noise of the cars; Kings of Leon were one of the best bands ever. Especially sex on fire. Although I would never have sex until I was mature enough.

I walked down the unfamiliar pathway and went out the gate. I’m sure I’d get used to the postman who’d dropped his bike, the couple across the street throwing plates at each other, the old man saying good morning to everyone, and a young girl stopping to talk to a builder, while her boyfriend waited annoyed behind her. That looked quite funny, but they were at the other end of the road so a couldn’t see them that well.

I got to the end of the road and turned right. I hadn’t seen that couple but they were behind me now.
“Oh, come on Evie. He wasn’t even interested. Hurry up, I’m going to the rugby club soon. I have got better things to do,” said the boy. He sounded a little older then me.
“He was, really. And you don’t have to take me to school you know, I don’t need my older brother to watch over me 24/7,” said the girl, in a high pitched voice. I’m guessing they’re not going out then, I thought to myself. I started chuckling hoping they wouldn’t hear me. They sounded Irish, but I wasn’t entirely sure as Scottish sounded similar to me. In fact the only Irish I’d heard was when I watched P.S I love you in Australia. It was so sad!
But anyway, I looked down at my watch to jump back into reality. Oh beep. I wouldn’t actually swear; it’s rude. But I only had 5 minutes to get to school. The clock at home must be wrong. I crossed the road then, in a slight run, and I could still hear a quiet echo of chattering behind me.

Ignored the warnings, bit the fruit She might have tasted good But man she was my kryptonite

Won't go Quietly - Example



This is the second single from new kids on the block, Example. It sounds like I only like the second releases of bands songs but that is really not true, I loved their first single, Watch the Sun come up, that is a brill song. But, this is their new one and my favourite. Take a listen...

Their words mostly noises Ghosts with just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me

Its been a while, but I felt I really needed to blog about this brilliant looking film called Dear John. it stars the hot Channing Tatum:

I am sure to enjoy seeing him topless! And the very pretty, and talented Amanda Seyfried:
Who, would you believe, played both Karen in Mean Girls and Sophie in Mamma Mia. She plays the lead role in this stunner of a movie, Dear John. So here it is, a glimpse at the wonders to come...

3 Slags on a Corner : Chapter Three

Three - Matilda

Oh my head. Six. Six in the bloody morning, and she’s moving a drum kit. A drum kit for crying out loud. Why did she need to move it.
“Tilly! Get down here will you!” I heard my sisters voice ring from downstairs.
“I’m sleeping!” I heard her drop the drum kit and pound up the stairs. She walked into my room and pulled the quilt off me.
“Hey Cassie! What are you doing?” She smiled and ruffled my hair.
“We, my little sister, are going on a road trip.” Oh that’s not so bad, we never stayed in a place for that long anyway. Our parents died when I was twelve. We used to live in Morocco, my mum was half Moroccan; so that means I have a permanent tan, but our parents decided they wanted to live in England. They left me and my sister in Morocco to go check out a house in Manchester. We were really excited about leaving, it sounded amazing.
When our parents got there, they found a beautiful house just on the edge of Manchester. They’d emailed pictures back to us, and we loved it too. But, on the flight back to Morocco there was major turbulence. The pilot couldn’t control the plane and it crashed. My parents, and all the rest of the plane, were pronounced dead. No one saw it coming. Me and my sister were left in Morocco with no money or family. Both our parents were only children, and the only grand parents we had were in England. That’s when it clocked. My sister would ask our English grandparents, who we’d never met, to lend us money to fly over to England and live in the new house. It was all paid for so all we needed were flights over to England. So, Cassie asked them and, can you believe it, they agreed. So, two days later we’d left and were in England. The house was a beautiful as the pictures had shown; we lived there for a year when we decided to sell it. The profit was huge, we got forty thousand pounds over the asking price. That’s when we decided to live on the road, we had loads of money which we didn’t need to spend on a house; we lived in our car. We stopped at camping sites have a shower, and restaurants to eat. My sister got various jobs, but I was too young. I was fifteen when we moved here to Devon, and now we’re moving again. London, the big city; lots of money to be earned there. I’d be starting back at school after four years off. I got into a small school sixth form. Cassie wants to settle in London, so we’re buying a small house with the money we’ve got left. It’s cute I suppose, if you like cottage type houses.
So, now I get it, we’re leaving today; the house must be ready.
“So, we’re going today?” Cassie turned and smiled.
“Course! Off to the best city in the world!”
I smiled at her, she was seriously excited. I was too I guess, but just couldn’t seem to show it; you know it being six in the morning and all.

*

“Put on All American Rejects.” I reached for the iPod and turned to it. Cassie grabbed it out of my hands and scowled.
“No! We’re listening to Red Hot Chilli Peppers!” Oh for goodness sake, she went on one date. One date; and she is obsessed with the lead singer. And it was only because she won a competition. I was so bored of them now because of Cassie, so I pulled out one of my cigarettes.
“What are you doing?” Asked Cassie, as I put it in my mouth.
“Er…taking a smoke, like usual. Do you have a lighter, I can’t find mine.” This wasn’t how I expected her reaction to be. She pulled the cigarette out of my mouth and chucked it out the window. “What are you doing?” I shouted to her. “That was my last fag, you idiot. We need to stop to buy more now.”
“This is a new start, new life, and I gotta start acting like a proper guardian alright? No more smoking, or drugs, or alcohol, or sex!”
“Hey, that is so not fair. I’m fine with the sex coz I don’t do that anymore anyway. I’ve never taken drugs, and I’m 18 in 2 years so I might as well start drinking now!” That was all true. Especially the sex thing. Ever since the Robbie Sinn incident, I’ve gone off sex altogether!

We passed a 5km sign, and also a very stupid sign which was actually quite funny; it said “sign not in use”! Me and Cassie had a good old laugh at that. I looked to my right and saw a small off licence. I took this as my chance to get some cigarettes.
“Hey Cassie. Are you hungry?” Cassie frowned.
“Why?” She looked suspicious. I smiled.
“Because there’s an off licence over there and I thought we could get something.” She stopped frowning and smiled.
“Good idea Tills.” We stopped on a yellow line and I jumped out quickly. Cassie handed me a twenty pounds note and I ran into the shop. When I got in I saw a long aisle of sandwiches so I headed for it. I grabbed a BLT for Cassie and got myself a cheese salad baguette(I’m vegetarian). I also got a large bag of salt and vinegar kettle chips, a bottle of water for me and a coke for Cass. That’s when I saw them. Hundreds of packets all over the wall, I walked up to the till and gave the woman my stuff. She started scanning it in when I asked for my usual packet of cigarettes. She smiled.
“Can I see some I.D please love?” I returned the smile and whipped out Cassie’s I.D. I’d managed to skive it while she had been preoccupied. I showed it to her and she smiled.
“Thank You Cassandra that will be eighteen eighty five.” She held her hand out and I gave her the note. She out it in her till and I left. I walked over to the car and got in, that’s when I noticed the cashier running towards me.
“Cassandra!” She got over to the car and Cassie opened the window.
“Um can I help you?” She laughed.
“No no love I’m just giving Cassandra her receipt and change.” She handed it to me and walked back to her shop. Cassie peered at me.
“Why was she calling you my name?” I laughed nervously.
“I have no idea. What a silly woman.” I slumped down in my chair and tried to cover my face with my hand. She grabbed the bag off my lap and looked inside.
“Tilly I cannot believe you! I specifically said no cigarettes!” She took the pack of cigarettes and through them out of the window. I gasped.
“Cassie what the hell!” She scowled deeply.
“Tilly you are forbidden to smoke anymore. Do you understand?” That shocked look started to fall from my face. I nodded and she turned back forwards and pulled off the curb.

But, what shocked me the most, was the speed at how we got to our village. There was a little girl on her bike riding down the road, and a group of old men playing cards, it looked like a scene from a family film where everyone was just about to die. I squinted into the distance and saw a small house with a for sale sign outside. Cassie pointed forwards,
“There it is Tills, our new home!”
