| bonjour people! its been yonks since i wrote on here i know, my internet is being a tart these days an randomly dies alot so everytime i try an update i loose the whole thing halfway. but i thought i'd write-up the paris trip before i forget all its hilarities, ehehehe.
friday - bus ride was random, sat by beccie an we looked at womens magazines and laughed alot at all the sex confessions. ferry me an luke went up on the deck an nearly got blown away by the wind. got to the hotel, went out for dinner then went in search of a bar with the rumney girls an got stared at by so many people which was scary cuz it was quite a dodgy part of paris. left some ppl at a bar an went back to mcdonalds then saw luke drunk which is very funny.
saturday - went to the musee d'orsay, which used to be a train station an is very purty, then had a cheese bagette for lunch shock horror! there wasnt anything vegan friendly, so i was like gah. then to the louvre an saw the mona lisa, which was dandy, got all da vinci code boffy with james and kept saying 'is that a carvaggio on the floor?' hehe. went to montmarte which is where the moulin rouge is and a really arty part of paris, saw the sacre cur an carys nearly sneezed in there an had to run out (carys's sneezes are like no other, less of a sneeze more of a roar) then went wth beccie, luke + ali to eat, then after much wandering found everyone packed into an irish bar where beccie had 2 irish paradises an got rather drunk, after walking back she puked twice outside the hotel, then twic in our toilet then in our bin. so then i had to look after her, but i did quite a good job of it i think.
sunday - went to the picasso museum, which is nice cause it has lots of his less famous work which is less random and REALLY good. managed to order my lunch in french all by myself, saw a dancing turkey that said gobble gobble. went to nortre dame and had to sit outside i nthe freezing cold for an hour drawing it. back o nthe coach and weree just elaving when they realised that the japanese exchange student was missing so had to go all the way around the block back to get her. bless i felt so sorry for her! then back to the hotel an they made us walk like 30mins to this famous posh restraunt where they we ordered snails (i didnt eat any of them) but they looked nasty. sam nearly threw up when he had one, so did calum, but beccie happily munched three of them. then we got let loose to the bars, found a guy promoting another irish bar so all piled in and i managed to get 2 small smirnoff ices b4 they realised we wernt 18 (apparently in irish bars the legal drinking age is 18) so we got chucked out, then we split up into smaller groups and i had a vodka and coke then some of bethan + james' big bottle smirnoff ice. jess turley was drunk! it was sooooooooo funny she's never bin properly drunk before and she had 9 glasses of wine and was really loud and hilarious!! they made us walk back to the hotel, which was considerably harder as most ppl wer quite intoxicated by then, i was just abit tipsy i swear! outside the hotel the teachers said we cud go to a neaby bar if we wanted to stay out for a while, so i went up to put away my coat n have a piss and on my way up bethan said she was gonna stay in an gave me a whole bottle of vodka! and i had a big bottle of coke. so i went to my room and created a mother bottle of vodka and coke which i proceeded to drink 1/2 of once id got to the bar. meaning that i couldnt see straight after that and i woke up beccie when i got back by jumping on the bed/falling flat on my face and saying 'im going to go and draw in the bedroom' randomly and watching tv. then i went down to the 1st floor where craig + sam + calum + alice were and arsed around there, but everytime sum1 knocked on the door me an alice an calum had to hide incase it was a teacher. fun. fell asleep down there then went back up at like 5, after going to the wrong floor in the darkness and trying to get into the wrong room (i cudnt put the lights on or a teacher wudv come n shouted at me)
monday - had a bit of a hangover/was still a bit drunk but nothing too bad. went to the pompidou centre which was luuush and full of wicked art we had to pretend we wernt in a big group so we didnt have to pay, me and jess maliphant had to do some smooth french talking to let us in. went to a lush cheapo cafe with beccie n luke for lunch, then on a boat trip where we had to draw interesting buildings as we sailed up it which was hard cuz the boat moved rather fast and it was freeezing. then to the eiffel tower which i was by then too poor to go up, lawrence offered to pay for me, and to pay for my dinner too but i was like naaaaa so i stayed on the bus an talked to luke. went to this italian place for dinner where i finished off the rest of the vodka in my bag, thne went to a bar and me n steph played justin timberlake on the jukebox cuz it was the only thing we'd heard of, then went back to the hotel to pack an had a loud crisp fight with beccie at like 1 in the morning then went sleepy bye bye
tuesday - hometime! got woken up by luke, hopped on the coach, slept for a bit then they made us work in our sketchbooks grrr, stopped at a big mall place where me n beccie got mr.fisher to buy us french condoms cuz we'd saw an ad for them on tv an they had a devil face on the front so we wanted to get them for a laff but we were 50cence short so we asked mr.fisher but he was paying with his card so he said 'go get whatever it is and ill get it now' so we did, quite reluctantly, but he saw the funny side of it and didnt seem that bothered and we even had a conversation about how teachers are robots who have no lives and shudnt get drunk or smoke. MR FISHER YOU SAH ARE THE SAFEST TEACHER EVER!!! ferry ride was uneventful except that i thought the coast of france was cover an wondered why we were travelling away from it. had a funny quiz on the say back which had normal arty questions as well as wierd ones 'in mr. clarks opinion how did bruce lee die? a)heart atttack b) panic attack c)he karate kicked sum1 so hard his leg flew off' haha. and then we were home.
it was a fucking amazing trip, iv made so many new friends with people id never even seen before and found out that some guy i met like 2 years ago an run up to with a camcorder going 'ARE YOU JOE?' is in my skool and is now a sporty chavvy type person an really confident and funny! crazy! and iv got closer to people in my other classes like english n psyoclogy who do art too like james n bethan n craig. and random ppl i always see everywhere like calum.
i love paris.
