A very bizarre, and quite frankly, stupid day!
So, the snow didn't arrive as expected overnight, so the Boys School were open - one of 4 schools open in the county. I fell over on teh way to school, I got to school to not be registered, to have a free period, to have an English lesson where I learnt nothing, and to then come home. With Isobel, admittedly, but it just seemed a really pointless morning.
We then spent a lovely afternoon doing work, but it was good fun! Think I've found my new revision buddy!
But then, once Isobel had gone, I checked my emails, and what do I find? An email from the one and only DANNY WALLACE. Not only one of my favourite authors, columnists, radio presenters and humourists, but now, by the looks of things, my councillor and careers advisor. To receive an email from a famous person starting with 'I love you too' is brilliant!
He told me what I need to do to get into the BBC, and he also told me that if I need to do something, I need to do something, and not sit waiting around. He's such a good laugh, and by the sounds of things, a really nice, honest bloke too.
DANNY WALLACE, you are the Day Dedicatee for Thursday 7th January 2010.

Wednesday 6th January 2010 - Harpenden Gang Show
A bit of a late one, but its worth it! A short one too. Will talk about it in perspective to today!
So, Isobel and I went to the HARPENDEN GANG SHOW last night. Now Ewan, Isobel's dad, is producer and musical director at the HGS, and I'll be honest, it was brilliant. It started with a sketch about a computer, and I thought 'Oh no, not two hours of this', but by the end of it we were all joining in! Brilliant, pure genius.

Tuesday 5th January 2010 - Nurse Jackie
A bit of a weird one today - another one of my bizarre TV programmes!
NURSE JACKIE started last night, adn I'm sat watching it now. Absolutely class - such a weird concept but so so good.
Who'd have thought a nurse, who takes drugs, and does illegal things for the 'good' of her patients, who is also having sexual relationships with her pharmicist jusr to get those drugs, and is happy to swear in front of her patients, could become a TV programme?!
Cross Desperate Housewives, with ER, and My Name Is Earl, and you've got Nurse Jackie. I may have only seen one episode, but I'm so glad it's got a second series. Brilliant.
If you need a laugh, get this on iPlayer. It's on again tonight on BBC Two. Give it a look on the gogglebox and all will be good in your life!

Monday 4th January 2010 - London
LONDON was the story of today. London with Bubble.
Been a lovely day - we haven't spent too much, we ate too much too early, but we soldiered on, and went to some lovely places. Houses of Parliament, Oxford Street, The Gherkin, St. Paul's Cathedral, London Eye, Trafalger Square, Covent Garden - been brilliant.
Apart from Crazy Cat Woman - a woman who approached us, put a paper flower covered in tin foil in my jacket, put a circle made of twine in Isobel's, and demanded either 'five or ten punds FOR THE CHILDREN', with which we politely declined. She then kept going, so I gave her a quid, and hoped she'd piss off. She kept going, looking at the coin in her hand, took the twine out of Isobel's jacket, and trundled on. Nutter.
But yes, been lovely! As the photo suggests, we did have a laugh too!

Sunday 3rd January 2010 - iTunes
A new year, and a return to my boring old blogs!
iTUNES takes today. Now I hate the name to be stylised different - without the small 'i' so I apologise if that gets on your wick.
They've been giving away free bits of things they've liked over the year - and most of it is turd, to be honest. But some is alright, like the Robbie Williams track given away the other day. So good, in fact, I downloaded the real version. Very nice.

Saturday 2nd January 2010 - Storyboarding
Gonna be a quick one because I'm so behind with both blogs and work! Today goes to STORYBOARDING.
It's kind of 'meant' to have taken over my life the last few weeks, my media blog. But I only started tackling it today. And bloody Nora I have a lot of work to do. Not only have I got to draw something to the calibre of this (look right - I am the only student ever to have received 3 consecutive G's in end of year Art tests), but I have to write about every single drawing. Cock.
STORYBOARDING, Saturday 2nd January 2010 is yours.

Friday 1st January 2010 - 7
So then, a brand new year! A couple of points to start with, before we crack on.
Well, this is technically Book VI for me - as there have been 5 predecessors. Tonight, as you will find out, VII starts. Which probably means that this is the beginning of the end for Day Dedication. What I'd like, ideally, is a good 18 months of blogs, and then a book deal! But thats not going to happen - I'd like to see in 2011 with Day Dedication but I may just run out of ideas! Until then though, I'm afraid you're stuck with me!
Second thing - this is a brand new year, so this does involve a completely fresh start. In fact, its a new decade! So we shall start as we mean to go on. Everyone has a fresh page. And I plan to start afresh with everyone - no petty grudges. So, Sophie Willer, answer your MSN!
Last bit before we can FINALLY crack on! My New Years resolutions. I figured if I posted them on here, I can't go back. So here goes nothing. The first one is to stop biting my nails. Its been a 16 year habit, and it needs to finish. If you see me biting, moan and groan at me till I stop. Please?
We've also got what I've called my hygiene pact. Okay, I'm a bloke. I don't do everything hygienically. So, this year, I'm going to wash my hands whenever I fancy, make sure I have antibacterial gel wherever I go etc etc. Its my calming female influence!
And so, linking everything together, is today's Day Dedicatee - the number 7. Yes, Book VII starts tonight. I remember writing the last 5, and writing in the perspective of actually thinking I may get published. So this one is a lot more personal, but you're welcome to read it. It's a Dream Diary, of which I record anything I dream about - no matter what it is.
To start with, it is gonna be just what I dream about at night, but over the year, if I decide I suddenly have a massive aspiration, that goes down as well. A bit confusing, but it will all make sense in the end.
So, a new year, a fresh start, a new book and 3 NYR's. Fun! Lets start as we mean to go on!
The number SEVEN, you are the Day Dedicatee for Friday 1st January 2010.
(P.S. I'm 18 next year, how weird is that?!)
