December 7th: Today I chased Michael Jackson.

I was in Starbucks with Hollie in my free lesson this morning, sheltering from the rain (it is bloody wet here at the moment and I typically forgot my umbrella this morning. Again.) when I broke off mid-sentence and said "I swear Michael Jackson just walked past!"

Hollie was like "Oookay." but then a few minutes later she broke off and said "Look, it's Michael Jackson!"

I was like HA. I told you so biatch. So we grabbed our stuff and rushed out into the rain, but Michael had already disappeared. Then Hollie saw him walking towards the outskirts of Henley and we started running after him, laughing our heads off, scarves trailing on the floor and Hollie's umbrella hitting people in the head. We eventually caught up with Mr Jackson, only to find out that his costume wasn't half as convincing close up (his wig was falling off) and that he was only advertising a new Domino's Pizza place that has just opened. Disappointing much! Although I do like pizza so maybe that Domino's will come in handy in the future.

Incidentally, we saw a storm trooper later on when we were on our way back to college. I must say, dressing up as a storm trooper to advertise pizza is a great idea; think about it, nobody would even know who you were. It would be freaking awesome walking around Henley in Star Wars costumes!

I would so do that. I walked around London green, for Oz's sake, and I didn't even have a mask to obscure my face then!

(I did have three other people with me, so it wasn't just me who looked stu-- I mean, who embraced my childish side and celebrated my love for the world's most awesome musical.)

It was a bit embarrassing, though, when I discovered a video on YouTube of us at Wicked day, in our costumes and actually speaking to the camera. And I wasn't even aware it existed until the owner of the video subscribed to my channel. O_o

Woop! Only my third imitation of paralinguistics and prosodic features (e.g. emoticons) in my entire blog. I'm getting better at this cutting-down-on-smiley-faces business. I used to use them in almost every sentence, but writing here has kind of helped me to break the habit a bit, which I had to do as I found that I was losing the ability to convey emotion through writing without using one, for example amusement by the use of "XD". However sometimes emoticons are simply necessary and there's nothing one can do about that.

My blog has now been running for a week, people! That's longer than I've ever managed to keep a diary, so you know, maybe this will work after all. I have had my doubts, especially since I keep forgetting to write until just before I go to bed and then I just can't be bothered, but it's been fun so far (even though only one person is actually reading this. I think I'd feel a bit weird if the blog had lots of followers and I knew everything I wrote was on show for the world to see. Even though it is. But you know what I mean. I may even have to start - heaven forbid - censoring stuff!

On the way to IT today, I was with my friend Hannah-from-media (not Hannah-my-English-teacher) and we were talking about how the hell she's not cold with tights on in this weather.

"I never really get cold..."

So the only reasonable option was to call her a werewolf. Naturally. But her response was quite amusing: "I'm not a werewolf!"

She called me a vampire in response and we ended up just hurling Twilight insults at each other all the way down the hill:
"Parasite."
"At least I don't smell like a wet dog!"
"You can get dog shampoo."
"No, that won't help you."
"Sparkly bitch!"
"Big furry growly space heater!"

Yes, I know. Mature. But hey, I'm "little"! (Shut up, Cora.) Anyway, that's not as immature as when I went a bit hyper in media and was making Hannah's swivel chair go up and down, and telling her there was a spider under her chair and then laughing at her face.

That's what makes me so nice.

Hannah is eighteen and I have dubbed her Grandma and pointed out some of her wrinkles. It's amazing how young one seems to age these days...

Just kidding, of course. Not a wrinkle in sight.

I did see a grey hair though.

No, really, Hannah doesn't seem to mind. She just said she'd make me some cookies or something grandmotherfied. (Cora - I'm totally laughing here! Don't worry, if Hannah's eighteen and she's my grandma, you can be my great aunt. Just kidding, I love you. XD)

Again with the emoticons.

Now I'm sitting in IT doing no work and eating the Angel Slices that Isy brought with her - a fabtabulous idea to bring food to IT, it really lessens the boredom. I'll have to try that in future with some of Sainsbury's 74p very addictive chocolate fingers. Mmm.

Urrgghh. Forty-two minutes to go until the end of college. I really, really can't be bothered with this and I have a load of English homework to do later. Ghastly, innit?

I can't believe I just said ghastly. The amount of time I spent trying to convince Cora she'd never make me say it... but noooo! That girl's phrases are just too catchy and if we're not careful, she'll be Corafying the entire world before we can even blink!

I must Mollyfy the world before she gets there first.

You know, I find it incredibly rude that my name is the only name in the entire world for which the "-fy" ending doesn't work. Say it out loud if you haven't realized why already... why, out of all the names in the world, is it mine which, when the "-fy" ending is added, means to pacify or appease? How rude is that?

No need to respond; that was rhetorical. But STILL!

Actually I've never had anybody answer the question "How rude is that?"... except one person. My brother.

Nuff said.

Ooh, apparently Lexi was looking for me at lunchtime today. I was still in Henley with Hollie so I forgot to join Becky and Charlotte for lunch, and they told me later that she was looking for me. No doubt she'll pounce on me on the bus or something (not literally! That would be weird.) and make me wait for her in tomorrow's frees or something. This is really getting weird now... especially when you put it together with the fact that the annoying girl from my lessons has been getting less annoying lately - I even had a conversation with her today because she sat next to Hannah and I in media.

Anyway I'm off now, so see you guys later.
