Even More Amazing.

WELL, how much you must have cried last week, but now tears of joy as I finally blog once more.
 
Well what an exciting week.  Yes, as you obviously know, the most important women in the world was in fact  in my neighbouring town of Blackburn last week.  I really don't know how they coped having both me and Condoleezza Rice in one town at the same time, oh the excitement will have been tremendous, with many delerious fainting supporters.
 
Well anyway, and this is the part you will never believe.  Yes.  Well.  On Saturday, as I merrily shopped alone in the town of Blackburn, I noticed a rather large croud building around the entrance of the Town Hall, so I decided, that with a slight chance that the two most important people may meet, that I would dine in KFC, which was appropriately placed directly opposite the scene.  Yes, for those who took part in the original day trip, it is indeed the same KFC.  As I ate my chicken popcorn meal, I objectively observed the protestions as I aimed to widen my perspectives of various political goings on.  As I finished my meal, I decided to continue my study by standing behind the people with the massive banners, but unfortunatley my hight deterred me significantly in what exactly it was I could see.  Tension was obviously building as more and more men in suits and police officers exited the building with increasing  levels of 'boos'.  I stood for about 10 minutes - obviously not participating in the chants and demonstrations - that is obviously not very Lusanda friendly - in anticipation.
 
And then.
From a distance.
 
And this is the even more amazing part.
That you will undoubtedly not believe.
 
From behind some people who I was obviously not taller than.
Amongst the shouting.
For approximately (look I can spell it now) 1/2 a second.
 
Oh wow.
 
Yes.
I saw.
Her.
 
Wow.
 
I was quite confused at this moment by the contrasting aplause and boos coming from the croud.
 
And Kyle was so jealous.
 
Oh wow.
 
Amazing.
You will agree.
 
Ad then that was it.  She left.
Slightly disappointing.
 
But oh well.  Life will go on, but that moment will live with me for ever and ever. 
A story for the grand children I think.
 
And anyway.  In other news.  Well obviously there isn't much more as this event as skewed my vision on life for this week and probably for many more.  Erm.  I did have more to say.
 
WELL. On Monday I began my training to become a fully pledged Brownie Leader two years before I am old enough.  I wasn't actually given a choice - they love me so much.  On Tuesday I played a B flat above the stave above the stave, on the Oboe.  For those who know, that is a perfect 4th above the limit usually played on such an instrument, hence making me a very virtuoso player.  On Wednesday I had to do my Chemistry coursework in exam conditions with very little warning - not very fair really.  And today it is Thursday and I don't think much has happened. 
 
Oh yes, one other thing that happened - I got locked in at work with all my customers - was alot of fun.  That was on Friday for those of you who like to place things in chronological order - sorry I messed it up.
 
Well.  Next week it is Easter, and I am going to London with my Mummy and sisters.  However, because they are boys, my Daddy and brother get to go to Italy.  Now that really isn't very fair is it.  Also, it appears that our youth hostel in London burned down last week.
 
Also, I really don't think Harold from Neighbours should be a murderer.  It isn't very nice.  Is he going to kill himself or something?
 
Anyway. I will dismiss the meeting.

The Holly and the Ivy

Wow I like my incongruent title.
 
Well people seem to be missing me and so I must write.
 
The only problem is - nothing to write about.  No day trips as Entwistle wasn't very popular - everyone will be so jealous Dena when we finally go on our Enid Blyton picknick and go climbing the Far Away Tree - wow what land will there be?? Maybe one made of chocolate or one full of fairies - I hope it doesn't have dragons or anyting scary though - I'd probably cry if there was - it would wreck our day trip - but anyway - stop with the negative thoughts Lusanda - nice pretty pure thoughts - now I'm feeling better.
 
I paid a strange man £120 today as the deposit for my gap year - slightly scary - thus meaning either I just paid lots of money to spend a week on a cold wet scottish island, or I am going to spend a year in a random county by my self.
 
Football is a bit boring really - it only gets any good when your team wins with a goal difference greater than 2, I really don't know why people bother to watch it.
 
See this is what you get when you force a blog out of me.  You shouldn't force people to do things - it's not very nice.
 
Please will someone invent an umbrella that doesn't go upside down?  Thankyou.
 
I had a rather boring day today and got wet - stupid union strikes.  And my sleep pattern has gone skewif.  Indeed it has.
 
Anyway.  Apart from nearly dying everyday since I last wrote, not much has happened.  I worked 14 hours this weekend and thought I had  lost hundreds of pounds but I hadn't.  I also fell over on the slippy kitchen floor and found that one plate I wa carrying could bounce and that was on a separate incident.  Anyway.
 
I don't like people who are in a mood.  It puts me in a mood and that isn't very Lusanda-like. 
 
 
This blog is rubbish.  I'm tired now.  Don't want to apologise.  Sorry.

Well.

I like Jelly Babies.
 
Wow!
 
No adventures to report this week.  I imagine you are particulary upset by that fact, but due to illness I was unable to organise a trip.  How we cried.
 
WELL, did you know Bassett's Jelly Babies used to be called Peace Babies?  Well, they were first brought into production at the end of WWI in 1918.  Manufacture ceased due to rationing in WWII, but they were reborn in 1953 as the wonderful little creatures we now enjoy - Jelly Babies!  Wow.  No wonder they are so nice and yummy and good.  Wow, a little sugar trivia for you there.
 
Jelly Babies also have little characters you can get to know to make eating them even more enjoyable - for example, Brilliant the leader, Bubbles the bubbly one and Booful the one who always cries.    I love such food items - they make eating the product so much nicer.  Many other food items have similar little characters and stories, for example Magic Stars and Monster Munch.  I do however believe that  Jelly Babies are the best ones because they are the nicest, and anyone must admit that an 8 foot purple monster that loves cauliflower flavoured ice cream is particularly scary, and so, obviously not very Lusanda-friendly.  And the little star charaters are also not very pretty as they are obviously aliens which I also find quite scary.  Green children are much more fun.
 
Well, this is easily one of the best blogs I have ever written ever.  It was rather annoying how I managed to delete half of it meaning I had to re-write it.  Not very nice.
 
Well, just remember, you learn something everyday - everyday is a school day!

Ben

For those who worry, this is a request not a dedication.....
 
WELL.  BEN! wow! How excited must you be, wow!
 
I always keep my promises even though people lie to me all the time...I'm sure you would never lie Ben. Never Ever. 
 
Well Ben is...
  • Fantastic
  • Exciting
  • Wonderful
  • Brilliant
  • Loveable
  • Amazing
  • Sensational.

Nooooooo I just realised how bad that could sound.....

 

Oh well.  For those who know me or who are regular readers will know that I am far to pure and good for any of that nonsence.  Anyway.

 

I'm sure that I could go on for days about BEN. 

 

Not the best time keeper in the world admittedly.

 

Fellow member of The Lusanda and Ben Experience.

 

Fellow Neighbours viewer and associate....everyone else is wrong.  Obviously.

 

Erm.

 

Fellow 12.10 form person.

 

Fellow Monday morning registration person.

 

Erm.

 

Fellow explorer.

 

Erm.

 

(Notice how the 'Erm.''s get closer and closer.)

 

Erm.

 

Obviously however Ben though I am better.  Obviously.

 

WELL.

 

I hope I get an equally good appraisal on your space Ben.

 

Now for the competition / maths game.  How many times have I mentioned Ben in this blog?  Now times that by 50.  Take away 5.  Divide by 6.  Times by 12.  Add 71.  Square it.  Find the cubed root.  Add 121. And then multiply the answer by thee number you began with multiplied by 100.  Now take away 11 and times by 3.  Write your answer as a comment.  The first comment with the correct answer wins.  Well done.

 

Right well, enough of that.  It wasn't meant to be that long but its one of those things that you can get very carried away with as I'm sure you will understand.

 

Anyway.  Bye Ben!

Title

What am I doing wrong?  Only one comment on my last blog? Well....I am slightly disappointed in you all.
 
Anyway.   I was told I would blog about yesterdays affairs, and indeed I am.
 
Well, the four bravest of our explorers decided to risk our lives in the dramatic little town of Clitheroe, at the far end of the Manchester Victoria line - yes we can now claim to have travelled to either end of the tracks....where next I hear you ask....well that is yet to be decided.  Me, Michael, Dena and Ben (the elite four) ventured to a town of mistery, even to myself, the most travelled of us, and what a mysterious time we had.
 
Time keeping has never been Ben's strong point, and so he missed the train and arranged to meet us an hour later.  Meanwhile, our in depth tour of Clitheroe began by visits to the Tourist Information Centre, Oxfam, a toy shop, and a fancy dress shop.  It was great, however there was an eerie, sombre mood floating round the ghost town.  That was until, we stumbled across the funeral procession of a local school boy.  Oh it was fun, with his fellow class mates lined through out the town, we found our selves in a slightly awkward situation.  So we decided to eat our chips, visit the castle - which was by the way very exciting - and leave.
 
By this time, Ben was just arriving in Clitheroe, and was certainly joyful when he learned that his 50 minute journey was in haste, however I am sure that his 2 minute encounter with Clitheroe was enjoyed.  We caught the train back to Blackburn, where we were sure to have a nostalgic wonderful time.
 
This blog is boring.  I'm sorry - but at least its not too long.  Sorry.  Please accept my apology.  Thankyou.
 
Anyway - we watched Final Destination 3 which was by the way rubbish, but it did make me jump quite high....
Then Dena went home.  Then we went into Blackburn and circled a few times.  Ben was being very naughty.  Then we went home.
 
Ben you're getting too many mentions sorry.
 
Today  I waited 40 minutes for a taxi today at work.  I was bored.  Sorry.  It's all this snow.  It's depressing.  Sorry.  I'm really not in the blogging mood.
