Sidmouth Detachment Camp-Out 2011

27 - 29 May 2011
Sidmouth had another detachment camp out, alongside Budleigh, with seniors from Wyvern watching us from the sideline! I shared a basher with the detachment new girl, Lauren.
27 MayWe set up base, and I was in charge of Section 2 for Sidmouth. Once it got dark, we played the glwostick game, which involved having to steal glowsticks from the trees and the floor, without being heard or seen.
28 MaySenior section did 4 practice assaults, and then did a perfect run-through to show the junior section. We got to fire blanks from the new A2 rifles, and a photographer guy from the Sidmouth Herald ame to photo us! In the evening, I got selected to be enemy with a few others, and we had to walk past everyone and pretend to get shot! Then I was paired with George House, so we had to run back up and be shot by the guard posts up the top of the track! So much fun! Once is was dark, we played the glowstick game again, and Pete had to leave to go shooting the next day.
29 MayNot very interesting. Cleaned a couple of rifles, made a make-shift basher in a competition against Budleigh, then went home!

Lost In North Devon (Then Gate Crashing The Devon County Show To Find Rebecca...)

19 - 20 May 2011
Yes I'm really that crazy. Well, Rebecca and her parents were safely at the County Show, so I thought I would be safe to visit Holsworthy, and meet up with some friends from cadets. However, I got stuck. There was a bus hoo-hah, and well, I had to spend the night in North Devon. I spent an hour wandering round the town, before I found Nigel, after school kicking out time. I went to the youth club with him and a couple of his friends for their D of E meeting, and then, I realised I couldn't get home. So we walked to Chilsworthy, and Nigel tried to see if I could stay round Max's, as he didn't want to take me home. I found a toy zebra on the road to Chilsworthy, so I kept it and called it Nigel! We then ended up wandering round Chilsworthy for an hour, before Nigel's mum told us to get back to Holsworthy. We had to jog 2 bloody miles! Then Nigels mum said I could stay at theirs and catch the school bus to Holsworthy with Nigel in the morning. So I kipped on their sofa. I don't even remember what time we got to Nigel's house, I just wanted to get my contact lenses out! I can't believe Nigel said his parents were mean, they seemed lovely to me!
Next day, I went to the bus stop with Nigel, but the bus driver wouldn't let me on because I didn't attend Holsworthy College. So I had to go back, and Nigel's mum gave me a lift to Beaworthy, where I could get a bus home. Oh, it's a very rural area up there. I missed the bus back to Exeter by 20 minutes, so I had to wait another 2 hours. I ended up sitting in some listed building that was some sort of trust, and went through a puzzle book. They were very nice and looked after me though. Just after 12, I managed to catch the bus back to Exeter.
When I got to Exeter however, I knew I wanted to see Rebecca, so I planned to gate crash the County Show. 4 fields, 2 car parks and one prickly, thorny, stinging nettley hedge later, I stumbled on to a country road, and a nice man in a convertible gave me instructions on how to get in, so I gave him £1! My legs were swollen, but I knew that I would do anything to see Rebecca. I finally managed to get into the County Show, 2 hours later, but Rebecca was on duty, and I could barely walk as my legs had swollen badly. Reece Seal convinced me to go to the Army Cadet area, to the surprise of the adults and cadets. Many of the adults had last seen me running round Okehampton Camp! Plus, I swear Rebecca's daddy gave me evils. I'm positive he hates my guts. However, when Reece took me to the tent out the back, Rebecca's mum seemed ever so nice! I managed to get like 5 minutes with Rebecca thankfully, so the whole little expedition was worth it. She had to dash off though, to go shooting, so I stayed and talked to Lotte, Beth and some of the others there. I think the adults thought I was crazy, and I'm still positive they all hate me, but I know it was worth it. I just know. I'm at peace now. I can wait, I will wait, calmly. Mind you, I think Rebecca was right about distance, after my little tour of North Devon. Ah well. I can wait. Oh yes I can. I can stay friends. I can hide the fact it still hurts me. I'm a big girl now...

Living The 'Vida Loca'.

Well, my exams start in just over a week, I've read my first whole book in 6 years this week, and I'm still trying to move on from her.
I went back on Monday to Sidmouth Detachment to see if I could join back cadets, but it doesn't look like I'm getting camps any time soon. I really don't want to go back on the shooting team either, not after the things I've heard. Cadets was like my family, and I seriously can't believe I ran away from it all just to get her back. I ruined everything. On the other hand, I probably would've ended up hitting her at some point, so it was perhaps an appropriate time to leave. I hope they'll let me back, but I don't want my rank back either. Look what it did to me.
On Monday, I went to Exeter with Tamsin, Tash, Jess and met up with Gemma. The day went pretty good, when I remembered there was a book I wanted to get. Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult. I read it in 3 days, mainly to forget about the bitch of a migraine I had. I loved that book, it was so sweet, and I'm really glad it all worked out!
My first GCSE exam is on the 16th, French Listening. I'm really worried about these exams, as I desperately want to change back to the IB course for next year. At this rate, I'll never get my Tech finished either, as I'm so behind. BLEH! Plus, school in general seems to be bothering me. Will my future work out? Will I get a decent job? Mind you, I'm so glad the government's AV vote came back 68% no, hurrah for common sense! Maybe we'll get someone decent in power now...
As for her, well, why the fuck does it still hurt? Why should I care about everything that happened. Why can't I just erase it from my mind? Why is this even ON my mind? I just don't understand. I burnt the picture in my pencil case, all the photos are gone, the letter and the angel are in a box in my cupboard- so why does it STILL play on my mind every night? It's nearly a year since the County Show, and I just can't forget. I just want to know when all this is going to go away, and I'll just forget her. I really hope it doesn't affect my exams too.
Oooh, but there is an 'up' side to life... Mum said she'll get tickets for the Adam Ant concert in Exeter! I'm going to be like the only under 30 there to be honest, but he is immense! "Stand and Deliver..."
I only wished to be something beautiful,
Through my music,
Through my silent devotion...
