I've come to realise something recently: I live my life through lyrics. This probably isn't much different from anybody my age, but I like to think that I really do.
So, what I thought I'd do is just, well, post a bunch of lyrics that I feel sum up my life, who I am, things I want to accomplish etc. These are in no particular order (OK, that was bordering on game show host results style, apologies...), here are a random collection of little quotes, phrases, lyrics etc that I love.
"So dear, dear Katie, what have you done lately? I've heard it's all going on..." Dear Katie - James Blunt
"And isn't faith believing, all power can't be seen?" To Where You Are - Josh Groban
"If you hear nothing, learn from nothing, then you teach nothing when it's your turn." Understand It - Tim Minchin/Rosencrantz
"Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall, please don't stop the rain." Please Don't Stop the Rain - James Morrison
"Even when the rain falls, even when the flood starts rising, even when the storm comes - I am washed by the water." Washed By the Water - Needtobreathe
"And I still hold your hand, in mine, in mine when I'm sleep." Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
"Don't give up, it's just the weight of the world." You Are Loved (Don't Give Up) - Josh Groban
"For somebody's sake now, please close your eyes woman. Please get some sleep...Well too much silence can be misleading. You're drifting I can hear it in the way that you're breathing." No Other Way - Jack Johnson
"You take my over analyse away. It's you and me against the world today." Brave Face - Delta Goodrem
That's it for now. I've run out of ideas and it's almost time for me to sleep (something I've been looking forward to since waking up this morning...) I may make this a weekly thing, sorta talking about the lyrics that inspired my week or something similar. Feel free to comment and speculate on why the lyrics may mean something to me, I'm interested to hear what you think :) Feel free also to comment leaving lyrics you've been inspired by. Again, I'd love to hear some :)

Gratitude
So, since just after Christmas I've been both blogging (semi-successfully) and trying to be an optimist (also semi-successfully). I think the second goal is less publicised - I think I've pretty much only informed myself of this aim, until now. I didn't do too well at the optimism at first, I've spent a long time being pessimistic, so I guess the adjustment was tough. I think I'm doing okay now though, I think I'm a convert.
My English teacher keeps telling our class that somebody with experience is better for giving advice than somebody without it (or something very similar, same principle), and I'm starting to think she's right - because now I'm realising that optimism is a great deal more bearable for day-to-day life than pessimism, and I feel like telling everybody.
I think I've always been a sort of...spiritual...person. Perhaps in a religious sense, perhaps not. I don't really understand it, but somehow it makes enough sense as it needs to - and that's good enough for now. I'll explain those confused ramblings now, shall I?
Recently, I've started viewing things from a considerably different opinion to before. I've started trying to find something to be grateful for in everything bad happening to me.
"You're a bitch. You look like a lesbian and a transsexual, you stupid bitch." I am grateful to be able to live with myself, knowing that I don't have insecurities as bad as the people who try to put me down. I am grateful to have met someone full of such hatred, knowing that there are people feeling worse than me.
"I don't know where your coursework's gone, someone may have stolen it. It's happened before." I am grateful for the honesty of the person who told me that. I am grateful for the many, many jokes that my friends and I have had over it since. And for those wondering, it never turned up - I am grateful to have been given an A for a piece of work that was never actually graded.
"I've seen you crying but I've never seen you this upset." I am grateful that somebody cares, that somebody pays attention, that somebody notices (and also because that little quote there has stuck in my head and I don't intend of forgetting it anytime soon).
If you're not understanding how any of that relates to being spiritual, I suppose I mean that it's a very Christian approach to take towards things. I've struggled with paranoia recently, it's not been fun and it's been hard. But I'm over it now, I can easily laugh when people think they're offending me or affecting me. I can laugh at how people think they're being sneaky by talking about me and laughing whilst actually looking at me. During times like these, I am grateful to have the moral highground.
I used to care what others thought, not only people I vaguely knew, but my closest friends. Now, I really don't care what people I vaguely know think, and my friends should know the real me - if they don't, well, they're not real friends. I've realised that insecurities are only a problem if we let them be. And I'm not going to be the loser in this battle...
In other news in my life, we have a newly decorated living room...and I've had a permanent paint fume induced headache for a week. Oh well, I'll get over it. I've also realised what my Spanish teacher means when she says that it annoys her when one of her languages comes to her, but not the one she wants, when she's trying to think of a word. I've started doing it with English/Spanish and also Spanish/Croatian. Can't be a bad thing though, it means it's staying in my head. Seen as I have an extended summer holiday this year (well, sort of anyway), I'm thinking of beginning another language (as in teaching myself). Any suggestions guys?

Happy 1st Month Anniversary and a Message
So, apparently (I think) today is the one month anniversary of my blog, and if not, it's certainly close. It would be easier if February had slightly more days than just 28 - I mean, come on, who thought that idea up? 28 days as opposed to 30 or 31, madness...
I wish I had something celebratory and upbeat to say today, after all, it is a rare occasion for me to blog during a school week, particularly on a school night. But, unfortunately I don't. It's quite the opposite.
In fact, I don't even have anything in particular to say - but I feel like I should not only because it's the one month anniversary, but because I feel like I have a point to prove.
I'm just a person.
I hurt just as much as the next person. I beat myself up over failings just as much as everybody else. I want people to accept me for who I am just as much as you do.
And when people don't realise this, it's often too much to bear. Especially when I've done something that they should have been doing and then they've had a go at me over it. This makes no sense, I realise, I don't like elaborating on things like this in case the people I'm talking about read it - it's not worth the hassle.
This fact has gone round and round in my head these past few days, though mostly right now as I'm dealing with ''a situation'' that's neither pleasant nor good. I have Spanish work to do this evening, I'm almost glad as it will hopefully distract my mind from thinking.
On the plus side, though, Dusty had her final vets appointment at 4:10 this afternoon and she's doing well. I didn't get to see ''the nice vet'' which is perhaps good as I was almost in tears (long story) and he's that nice that even him just saying ''hello'' may have set me off crying. Not good. But she's doing well and there doesn't seem to be a problem with her.
Whoever or whatever worked their magic for her, thank you :)
Con el amor, la confusión y la frustración,
Rachel
PS: I'm rather proud of my Fern getting 50/50 on a piece of coursework and 49/50 on the other. She's just that amazing :)
PPS: I've just remembered I have a jab on Wednesday. Oh dear...

Voting, High School Politics and Duddy
Today we began 'voting' for several categories for the school yearbook. I wasn't much looking forward to it, however it's been more pleasant than I anticipated. For a start, some of the categories are hilarious (not so much the actual category, more the people nominated). Secondly, it turns out that people regard me more highly than I expected. More on that later. But the whole voting process got me thinking about how much high school is like the government/politics. I could very easily elect who I believe would be the Y11 members of government.
I mean, you have the 'popular' kids, right. Bleach blonde hair,orange tanned faces, hideous hairy Uggs and tacky false nails (BTW, if all of that makes somebody popular, the world must have gone mental) - and they're all the same. There's no originality, no character, no individuality.
Then, you have the 'nerdy' kids. Normal hair, normal faces, normal shoes, normal nails - and they're looked down on and sneered at for being, well, themselves.
In year 7, we were unintentionally and metaphorically handed a choice - either stick with the in-crowd or forge your own way. The vast majority of us milled around for a year or so, verging on the edge of our choice without fully committing. Then, year 8 came around and we all suddenly completed the transformation, as it were. I seem to have made that sound vastly more pleasant than it was, believe me, it was awful.
But to me, the whole notion of having to vote for ''best looking female'' and ''prettiest eyes'' brought back a million and one unsolved, petty problems throughout my entire school life. Of course, this isn't literal - I haven't been walking around all day punching people because they once threatened to ''make their sister iron my face'' (10 out of 10 for originality...) No, what I mean is that the slightly evil, sadistic side in everybody seems to have come out when voting in categories such as ''largest ego'' and ''biggest flirt''. The immature ones have tried to rub salt into the wounds of freshly broken up couples with ''cutest couple'' and the more ''unattractive'' among us have unfortunately been dragged into nomination for ''best female body''. I keep being told I've been repeatedly voted for in the ''most likely to become a millionaire'' category, though my form tutor told me that if the end of the world came about, I'd most definitely be there trying to save it ("most likely to save the world"). I've also been told that I've been voted for in "most likely to become Prime Minister", but I'm not that stupid...
It's nice to know that, actually, people do notice the ''nerdy'' kids. It's even nicer to know that we're noticed when it really matters. After all, we miss people for who they were once they're gone, not how beautifully false they looked.
In other news from my life, my adorable liddle Duddy was in for an operation today (she was being spayed) and I was, to say the least, a wreck over it. It all links back to my major dislike of going to the vets due to the fact that, at 12 years old, I had to make the decision to put my first rabbit (Flopsy) to sleep. He had an abcess and the vets couldn't remove it and, because he was mine, it was my decision. I could elaborate, but I won't. Anyway, Dusty's home now and she's recovering in her nice, warm hutch. Whoever or whatever it was that got her through her operation successfully (so far), thank you.
I'm going now, I have ''recommendations'' to listen to.
Au revoir, adios and doviđenja

PS: I love this band, and I just found a song by them that sums up this post brilliantly (click the song title for a YouTube link)
"Oh, why are we keeping score?
Cause if you’re not laughing,
Who is laughing now?
I’ve been wondering
If we stop sinking
Could we stand our ground?
And through everything we’ve learned
We’ve finally come to terms,
We are the outsiders."

Follow Friday - 19/2/10
Second post of the night, but it's not going to be a long one as I thought I'd also post my Twitter #followfridays for you all once more, except also with a little comment about why I think they're all awesome :) ...
(Note: These are in no specific order...)
@podski111 - Slowly opening his eyes to the clearly amazing (rubbish) city of Wakefield, has an adorable son and also wants to be with the girl from the San Lorenzo bakery, or so he says...
@fizzy_lizzie16 - Waiting for The X Factor to come back so we can debate each performance once more. Maybe we'll have to settle for Britain's Got Talent instead?
@stephishere - Fellow blogger who I seem to agree with on everything she blogs about. Yay :)
@F1698 - Just generally lovely and also very pretty, seems to struggle with motivation for homework/essays just like me (and everybody else, for that matter)
@IchBinCallum - Languages student who is going to South Africa and is going to take me in his suitcase :) Also has tons of followers already, so you might as well follow him too
@cpahl2000 - Lovely person, we have lots of deep and interesting conversations on very random topics and he's also a writer (which is what I too aspire to be someday...)
@baa_ - Known her approx. 12 years now, still makes me smile. HUGE Jedward fan and still listens to Eurovision entries from 2007, looking forward to Ukraine Hat Day 2010...
@beth_lunn - Has possibly started her own counselling service via the usage of random lyrics, she's never not online and/or posting lyrics. Perhaps she can open your mind to new music?
@LukeeGee - He's from Leeds, so is therefore cool. He's also amusing, so it's a win-win situation really.
@JaseBrant - Is from Normanton, and is also therefore cool. In fact, he's also amusing too - there must be something about Yorkshire people...
@watsoncomedian - The lovely Mark Watson. Creator/presenter of the best radio show to have ever graced my ears and needs you all to buy tickets to his next tour. So this is sort of a double plug - anyway, follow and buy, he's worth it :)
@Jason_Manford - @beth_lunn and I got to interview him in the summer and he's both lovely and hilarious.
@mermhart - The woman behind the amazing show, Miranda. Regularly has my entire family in hysterics (well, not THAT reguarly, but y'know) and is just generally funny.
@deansmith7 - AKA Phil from Waterloo Road. He's funny in real life too guys.
@james_mcquillan and @HowardEbison - If you like The Apprentice, these two were both in the last series. James will be forever known for getting into THAT birthing pool while Howard always made everybody smile :)
@joshgroban - Amazing musician, inspirational lyrics and he got me through an otherwise stressful family Christmas, his tweets are often very witty too
@fern_brown - She never tweets but this is so she doesn't feel left out...and also because I love her :)
@rlg20693 - She occasionally tweets, but not that often. But she's my cousin and never fails to amuse me when I see her, such as announcing that Charles Darwin wrote novels. Er, yeah...
And finally, you should also follow me (if you're not already) at @iRachey :)
Happy Friday,
Rachel

¡Feliz Viernes!
Nothing special to report on really. But I've been a busy bee this week working on various arty projects so I thought I'd share the results with you :)
I made two notebooks this week, both from felt with whichever other arty supplies I could find. One is travel themed (top, second from left) while the other is sorta romance themed (bottom, first from left). All of this also included a trip to Spring Green Garden Centre's Craft Cabin and Hobbycraft at Crown Point, but oh well. The Hobbycraft visit included two car journeys at night time - which is something I LOVE doing so I was a very happy girl that evening :)
This afternoon, I also made some cookies. My original inspiration came from i am baker and also Bake at 350 - both wonderful blogs full of yummy treats that both gave me cookie envy last weekend. Anyway, I went with a Spanish/Eurovision Song Contest theme for my cookies (I don't know why though). My favourites have to be the ''Feliz Viernes'' one and the one that says ''Cause I got something to believe in'' because it's one of my absolute favourite songs (and a Eurovision song, hence the theme). You can listen to it here.
(Note: the final Eurovision version is a tad different, you can watch that version here instead. The vocals aren't as good as they usually are, but I put that down to the sound quality of the show itself, I don't recall anyone having amazing vocals that night. He's apparently planning to enter the Russian national final again this year and I hope he does - he won the whole contest last time he took part...)
Tomorrow I plan to edit my English homework, write out a few verbs to learn for my Spanish speaking exam in April then sit around doing nothing/reading. What are your weekend plans?
Anyways, Feliz Viernes/Happy Friday everybody! :)
