Snowflakes on her Eyelashes
My grandmother died 5 years ago but I was very close to her and was devastated when the cancer finally took her away. I used to get very upset when I thought about her but now I just think of her with fondness and happy memories.

Anyway, a few weeks ago we had really heavy snow where I live but being the diligent student that I am I decided to brave the snow and walk on to campus for a lecture.

As I was walking I was suddenly reminded of a story that my Grandmother used to tell me. When she was a young lass growing up in Yorkshire she was at her fist formal dance. It was the winter and the snow was falling heavily. She was standing near the door when a girl that she had never seen before walked in. What caught my Grandmothers eye was that her eyelashes were so thick and long that she had snowflakes balancing on them. My grandmother told me that this girl was the most beautiful young woman that she had ever seen.

The reason I thought of this was I had snowflakes on my lashes. I desperately wanted to call my Grandma and tell her, she would like that. When the realisation that I couldn't came crashing down on me once again it was all I could do to control myself. I sat down on the nearest bench and sobbed my heart.

with a ginger
and it was rubbish

I was 14 (shocking I know) and we did it in his loft and it hurt so much I cried all the way through and the bastard didn't even notice. To top it all off he dumped a week later.


Gingers. Rubbish.

» School Trips

My House
For some reason my primary school reception class went on a school trip to my own house once. It was pretty big and in the country, loads of land and stuff but to this day I have no idea what the educational value was. I didn't learn anything other than how to feel a bit superior over my classmates which probably isn't the best lesson to be teaching a 6 year old.

School Trips
Ours always got totally out of hand, sex, drugs and alcohol among the under 16s.

One year we went on a cruise around the med, huge cruise ship filled to the brim with horny teenagers from all over Britain. Seriously the last night was a total mess. We'd been in Greece that day and found that they will sell Ouzo to just about any body, there were people spewing overboard left, right and centre, one girl was so pissed she slapped the teacher
Where was I when all this was going on? In my cabin with a boy from another school, his teacher caught us, I didn't have a dress on. They never ran that trip again.
