Ok so i'll probably be back on good old blogspot in a week or two but for now the latest craze is tumblr. The rubbish thing about it is people can't really comment or anything, so if you want to talk to me I'll still be signing on this now and then. Right, let's get on with it:

Merry Christmas
Ciao! Just got back from Italy on Saturday - it was fabulous! So, the hotel wasn't the best but the skiing was awesome and it was such a laugh just being around my friends 24/7, I loved it! I got back Saturday evening and I was knackered - so it was Strictly (yay Tom won) and then straight to bed for me (:
I lay in yesterday and went to the cinemas with Becca and Kelly - they didn't go skiing so it was good to catch up. We watched Twilight, and honestly - it was awful! If anyone watches the film before they read the books they are not even going to pick up the book. So if this is the case with you - don't be fooled! The film gives no justice to Stephenie Meyer's fabulous work at all. It was too cheesy, but at the same time it wasn't the love story that the book is. I was very disappointed indeed.
When I got back I called Vicki - another friend that didn't go to Italy - and she came round. We had to play Balderdash with my little brother and help make those popcorn and cranberries string things for the Christmas tree (it's an American thing, but my mum loves it). Speaking of which... three days 'til Christmas! Yay, I can't wait. I browsed the Radio Times as I ate my breakfast bagel this morning - I just love telly at Christmas! Ok, so this year no telly all day (not even the Queen's speech) and then at 6pm we turn on for a special Doctor Who (yawn), then it's a Strictly Come Dancing Christmas thing (shut up - I've always preferred Strictly to X Factor), then it's the all new Wallace and Gromit! It's been like thirteen years since their last small-screen adventure (quote Radio Times), and last but not least Royle Family - love it!
Aha, I'm such a TV nerd.
Today the family's round, but I'm thinking of writing my English essay we've had to do over the holidays. It's about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and it's totally boring! Whatever.
Speak later guys, ciao for now,

Easy Like Sunday Morning...
Bonjour mes amis! Yep, French speaking GCSE - 17th Jan!
Aha, so how's it going? I'm totally chilled, today my mum and brother went shopping and set off early to avoid the crazy Christmas shopping traffic so I've been on my own all morning. They say it's good to spend at least a little time alone so I've been totally taking advantage of the time I have; I lay in until God knows when, then I was ever so Saturday-morning-kid-ish and played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on my brother's PS2 lol! I stuck my iPod in the speakers in the kitchen and had a JoBros sing-along as I cleaned the kitchen and made myself a breakfast bagel. I then switched over to a Run's House marathon and my TV hasn't moved from MTV Base ever since. God, I live on the edge eh?
So yesterday was my first Orchestra concert, and it was pretty fun I guess. All the waiting around was sooo boring but whatever. In the morning I got my hair done at Toni & Guy (yep, I don't care how much it costs - I love it there!), and then I had to go and search for a white blouse for the concert but the shopping in Buxton is pretty crud, I found it hard to survive without a Topshop, H&M or Primarni! In the end I got this stripe blouse with with a tiered ruffle and pintuck front:
In other news, Kelly introduced me to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series - and I lovelovelove it! I cannot wait for it to hit the cinemas in the UK. They are probably the best books I have ever read! I'm a total 'Twilight newbie', everyone I've spoken to has read them all - three times! I'm only on New Moon at the moment, but I finished Twilight within like a few days. I think everyone should get a chance to read them (:
Tomorrow Vicki, Harriet and I are off to a debate in Matlock; we're arguing for age restrictions to be put on books, kind of like they have on films. Of course none of us are pro-age restrictions, but the people organising the debate actually tell you if you're arguing for or against. That was pretty crud, but I am looking foward to tomorrow might meet some interesting people. We have to ride with our deputy head on the way there, and it's going to be so awkward in the car! But whatever.
Next Saturday I'm off to the Italian Alps skiing, so I might not get a chance to blog again until the new year, so all have a merry Christmas!
Ciao for now, Zoe oxox.
