	&lt;p&gt;Tia: Have been best mates since we were 3 or 4. She is sensible and clever with a dry sense of humour and good taste in music. I guess you could say that she's the Dr Watson to my Sherlock Holmes, the quiet, strong influence with the common sense, my shoulder to cry on when it all gets too much. We've been through alot together and I guess that I don't appreciate her as much as I should and I never really have the time to tell he how much she means to me. She's always been loyal to me, even when I'm a bit of a bitch, and I know that I can open my heart to her and tell her anything. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Sam: Sam is the 'kitten' of the group, cute and stylish with a cheeky, mischevious side and the loudest laugh I've ever heard. She's an unpredictable fun loving party animal with a heart of gold and the best fashion sense eva (apart from my mam!) Sam is also kind, caring, sensitive and a little daft. She is seeing a lad called Russell, who is dead canny, and she is into emo and rock music like me. I wind her up about being vain and having 'Sam Moments' but she's always there for me.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Beka: AKA Berto. Beka is loud and proud, with a goofy, sarcastic sense of humour, a tomboyish attitude and a way of saying what she thinks, not matter who is there or where we are! Whenever we are all together the pair of us end up play fighting or calling each other stupid names. She's always at hand to make me laugh and he catchphrases include "I can smell ya!", "Ya big mong!" and "I'm gonna kill ya!" I love pissing her off by chasing her around shouting "Dammit Janet, I love you!" and pretending to propose to her.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Vicki: Vicki is the mother of the group, caring, sweet, supportive...but definetly not a pushover! She is footie mad, giggly and fiecely protective of her friends, NUFC and her favourite player, Steven Taylor. She gets on with almost everyone and even though I love winding her up about Mr McCann and being Steven Taylor's stalker, I really think she's fab! She has the cutest laugh, she's a little bit shy, really polite and puts herself down when she shouldn't. Her fave TV show is probably Lost and she loves Matthew Fox, who plays Jack. In P.E. we love doing little German slap dances beacuse we can't really dance unless we're pissed&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Rachael: My David Bowie/RHPS soulmate. Great taste in music. She is who I turn to for a mad time and I am proud to say that I introduced her to RHPS! She is down to earth and goofy in the best way! &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Sophie R: The sweetest, most loving girl ever! She is so canny and you just have to love her!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Sophie F: Down to earth and tough but deep down she's so vulnerable.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The Boys&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Stephen:  He understands my moods and takes all sort of shit off me. He can always make me laugh. Especially with the weird pony thing...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Alan M: Sadist in the making, tactless and really cheeky. But he's a great guy.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Alan H: We have some laughs, he's so funny and caring, would do anything for anyone...even though he laughs at me for crying at films.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Neil: Funniest guy ever...everything he says cracks me up - especially his impressions of our maths teacher and the weird puppet of Harry Truman he made.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Chrissy: So sweet and fun. His parties are the best and we always have a great time together.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Craig: Great laugh, really caring and he has great taste in...music, movies, men (lmao) and women (o/j...I mean c'mon he went out wiv me nd I'm...)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Josh: Craig's lil bro, total nutter and wilderbeast pervert. Loves taking the piss outta my taste in men.&lt;/p&gt;

It was quite fun...had a drink, a laugh, bit of a dance.&lt;br&gt;
I won't describe my dress in great detail yet because I'll be pasting some pictures up as soon as my dad loads them onto the computer...it's blue, that's all I'll say.&lt;br&gt;
I had an argument with Alan, my friend and date, because he wouldn't dance and he ended up with his tongue down that complete cow Emma Lowery's throat. But we made up, which is good because we've got another party tonight. And, the DJ, who was eyeing me up, thought me and Vicki were lesbians because we kept dedicating songs to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Anyway, here's some tips...sort of...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Things I Learnt From Yr 11 Leavers Prom: &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;1. Don't let me near anyone with a long dress because I end up standing on it.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;2. Choose a day when it doesn't rain.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;3. Getting in a car/taxi/limo is difficult, be careful. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;4. Choose your prom date wisely...if you are going with a male friend make sure you only like them as a friend, then you don't get pissed off if he fancys someone else. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;5. Don't spend all night running after men - have fun!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;6. Don't let your dad embarress you when he picks you up. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;7. Don't let your mother poke you in the eye with eyeliner before you get there.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;8. Bring your own booze coz they won't serve you.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;9. Don't let your mother and female relatives take over the dress arrangements.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;10. Dance with someone who can't dance...makes you look a little better.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Well isn't it a wonderful day to start writing a blog?&lt;br&gt;
I think so...well, I have to go to a party tonight in the fucking rain but still, I thought 'I'm bored, I think I'll start a blog and bore people senseless with my opinions and experiences.'&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;So...about me anyway. I'm afraid there's quite a lot to say.&lt;br&gt;
My real name is not Ophelia, it's just an alias I'm using to save myself a little dignity, seeing as I'm going to be pouring my heart out and  telling you all every little sordid detail of the past sixteen years. I live in Newcastle in the North East of England, which is a part of Great Britain, a little island with a lot of history. Me and England have a lot in common...we're both small, gutsy and enjoy trying to press our opinions on others. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I live with my parents, who work in a hotel, and a menagerie of various animals...oh, and my little sister who I suspect is possessed by demons...'The Exorcist' anyone? &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":&gt;" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I've just finished secondary school and my GCSEs so in September I'll be going into Sixth Form and then to University. It's gonna be quite fun because of all my mates, who are brilliant - I couldn't have got through school without them, that's for sure.&lt;br&gt;
Here's the best of them: Tia, Sam, Beka, Vicki, Rai, Sophie R, Sophie F, Becka C, Alan H, Alan M, Nil, Chrissy, Stephen, Big Craig, Little Craig, Dave...love you all.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Well, anyway, more about me.&lt;br&gt;
I won't bore you by describing my appearance - you can see what I look like from my pictures; brown eyes, brown hair, tanned, curvy, glazed expression...there's much more to say about my personality.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I'm a Libra, which should mean that I'm balanced and graceful - am I fuck. I'm so clumsy, once I knocked over six cups of tea in one go - they went down like a load of dominos. My mam wasn't happy. But, even though I'm not practical and I am drunk most of the time , I am quite intelligent. I love to read and watch films - my favourite books are Bleak House by Charles Dickens, IT by Stephen King, the Lord of the Rings series by Tolkien and most of the classics really and I have loads of favourite films, particularly The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Gone With The Wind. My music taste is really varied, I love rock and roll and punk music mostly...I've had a hug passion for David Bowie since I was about four. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Weird. That word sums me up to all of my friends, family and...well everyone else I know.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;But I'll let you judge.&lt;/p&gt;
