TEXTS

This morning I started scrolling through my texts from Jordan. I decided immediately that they needed to be written down because they are hilarious and I would be very annoyed if they got lost or deleted. They bring back many fun memories so obviously the best place to put them would be on my blog. So please don’t be freaked out because I find them very comforting to read and would like to read them again in the future.

Note, Jordan’s spelling is atrocious. So I typed it out the way she did in the text.

These texts start from late 2009.

New Moon

“New moon next week?....Yea, ill brave ur crazy taylor obsession....akakaka. The general boy obsession going on, but No one will be obsesed with robert patinson.”

The day we wrapped up the boys’ football (because they kept playing with it in the Lecture theatre)

“Ahh kerri told john what we did, and he says that balls worth £25. And theyre gna be angry”

On Glee

“Hahaha. I noticed the asian boy and his dancing and thought of u”

“Im gonna regret this so much, but mike chang is kinda cute”

“Kurt talked about the American Dream! Ewww”

“In lisburn and I just saw a boy who looked like mike chang!”

“Im only just watching glee, and lol at asian camp?!”

Noting my Asian-loving days:

“Why oh why am I watching the asian music awards???”

“We were just in newry and saw like 3 asian guys. Are super junior on tour here?!”

“Im watching south korea play football. They all look identical claudia!”

“I’m in Lisburn and there’s an adorable asian child in the que. I thought of you. lol.”

Joel

Jordan: Lol I walk into my halls at uni and looked in the kitchen and the first thing i saw was an asian boy! Thought of u immediately.

Me: LOL LUCKY YOU. is he in your halls?

Jordan: Yes! He’s from Singapore and really nice.

Me: Awesome what’s his name?

Jordan: Joel but not pronounced like that. He’s doing medicine and he’s also kind of cute.

On Twitter and The Great Gatsby

Jordan: “Is dr tj eckleburg following u on twitter 2?!”

Me: “turns out it’s Matthew Quinn!!”

On Moths

“Ahh there was just a massive moth at my window! Not big enough 2 be wearing a suit but still pretty big”

“Hey mothmath (mothmath??) just visited me, he says hes heading out to your house now.”

On Driving

“Claudia I had a dream last night that you passed your driving test! Yay. But u told me that you’d done it on the internet, that sounds a bit illegal. Ha.”

Rocket Power

Me: Rocket Power!! With Otto, Reymundo, Tito and silly other names!

Jordan: Lol. Good job on finding that claudbag!

On Clothes

Let me explain, in late August Jordan and I went shopping. Extreme shopping. I picked out lots of new clothes for her to wear to uni. It certainly was a successful day because we bought 2 blouses, 2 jumpers, DKNY jeans, 2 t-shirts and later a new jacket and trainers.

Jordan: I can’t decide what to wear claudia!!”

Me: Hahaha you sound like me - cos you have new clothes to choose from?

Jordan: Yes. lol. And I’m not sure what matches what...”

Me: What are you choosing from?

Jordan: Think I’m going to wear the blue stripy top from river island. But what goes with that? I need another layer

Me: Isn’t that the one I ranted that you needed an orange cardigan...lol

Texts which few will understand:

“Lol. U gotta be adventurous claudia. Dishy steven!”

“AHHH I was just uploading pictures on facebook and I accidently put the happy 10th birthday Jimmy one up!! I think I got it removed b4 it was seen tho.”

“Aww i miss the days when weekends ment futurecup lol.”

“Im at fusin AND CASPER IS HERE!”

“Lol! It’s because of their poorly designed menus.”

“Open your gates Claudbag.”

Me: Jared went into the container and first thing he saw was TAMPON MAN!! :O

Jordan: LOL!!

Facebook Hack and other randoms

One day at Emma’s house we all hacked Jordan’s Facebook after she accidentally told us her password was the same for everything. 

Jordan: I’m a muslim, inbred, superjunior loving, hemaphrodite, in a complicated relationship and it’s my birthday. Also why is there a swearword in there, thats just unnecessary!

Me: My only input in this hack was suju! What swearword??

Jordan: It says ‘religious views - muslim shite.’ Or is that like a type of muslim?

Jordan: Do yous want me to bring some ice cream?

Me: Yes sexy bbz. When you get here I can’t wait to tickle your bum. 

“Hey Sexy”  (Nice one James)

“Coming now my girlfriend”

Other amazing texts:

“U know what I say? OFF WITH THE HEAD”

“Im looking ur memories on bebo”

“I just caught myself singing along 2 hollys camprock cd. SINGING TO JOE JONAS. What have i become”

“Is Emma in the country?”

“Kk. Party animals!”

“Thanks for inviting me. I had great fun. Ive had sex bomb in my head all day.”

“Yearbook is fabulous claudia!”

“Big sexy laurence is on tv. I started to laugh thinking of your mother. There’s also an asian man who looks like a woman on the show. It’s like your family made it.”

“Book beans. Was just wondering.”

“Make sure yous miss my presense.”

Don’t worry Jordan, we do! We all miss you like crazy! ♥

FABBYDO!

Elloo!

Well I just realised I totally forgot about continuing my blogging session yesterday. It took hours to clean out my wardrobe. I tried on everything and now have barely anything left. Most of the stuff was just old or didn't fit. I need new jeans and a pile of new tops. Like loads of my lovely shoes are gone too! And I adore shoes. :( But on a brighter note, mum was shopping today and got me a new top for London and a beautiful pair of Irregular Choice for London! Have a look:

Strange, aren't they? I looked them up online on the Irregular Choice site and they all have special names- these are called Fabbydo. Ha that's such a funny word.

HOLLISTER

Good evening,

I was in Belfast today! It was packed. I got my haircut. :D It's probably my best haircut I had in a while. And the guy that washed it and blow-dried it, James, was very cute. :)
I get it done in Peter Mark in Victoria Square. Seriously, Vic Square is like one of my favourite places ever. I think I'm most happy when I'm walking around Belfast. I don't think I would want to live there, but I wouldn't mind university. ;) The guys there are so cute, and some fashion the girls wear is so so cool and original. It's such an awesome city. When I was in Dublin on an art trip with school back in November, it was like Belfast, except piles bigger! I loved it. So many nationalities of people there too, much more than Belfast.

I went into Hollister today. It's an American store which opened recently in the square. It was queued out the door! There was this fit guy in a swimsuit as the door manager monitoring the people going in. When we got inside, it was really dimly lit for some reason, which prevented us seeing the clothes and squinting to see the prices. The changing rooms were crap too; there was only 3 rooms, and there was a queue for it also, which I had to wait in for 20 minutes. That wait was worthwhile, as I got a really cute blue blouse and a jumper that Mum and Mar treated me to. I liked that store, the staff was effortlessly cool. :)

I'm watching the final of the X-Factor now. One person goes out tonight, then it's the proper final tomarrow night-which is a bit annoying. I hope Joe wins, but this year the competition is tight between him, Stacey and Olly!

Bye for now..
Claudia x
