Writer's Block: Traditional Pursuits

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:06:13 GMT

There are a lot of things we see most often in December, like caroling, potato latkes, mistletoe, mulled wine, eggnog, and returning gifts. What's your favorite holiday tradition?

We always have something quick and easy on christmas day, then have a big christmas dinner the next day, so we can spend loads of time together :D

Christmas

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:03:27 GMT

Okay, i've made a bet that i can't keep updating this every week until after christmas. The odds are against me.

I was talking to someone the other day about christmas. All my friends think i'm really weird because i love this time of year, but i do! It's just really cosy and relaxing you know? I bought a t-shirt the other day that said little miss christmas on it. I wore it to college and everyone laughed at me! I don't think it's funny! I'm one of those people who get all excited by decorations. So much that i made mum put the decorations up on the 3rd, which is really early apparently..
So now walking into my house it looks like Santa's Grotto!
I need to get presents for my parents, the sister and my friends too. I should seriously think about those, seeing as there's less than two weeks until christmas...

The only thing i don't like about christmas is the panic buying. You can't go anywhere 3 weeks before christmas without being bombarded with shoppers running around like there's going to be nothing left. There is okay, calm yourselves!
It always makes me laugh how annoyed and angry people look when christmas shopping. If it's that bad, buy it online! It's so much easier!

Anywho, i must start some psychology coursework. I'm off ill again so i am going to use the time catching up on my work.
Unless YT distracts me.... =]

Update 24th October

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:20:48 GMT

Once again i haven't posted in almost a month so i will give you some news!

College is going brilliantly, i'm really enjoying all my courses and i have 100% attendance so far which is surprising!

I'm going on holiday on Monday, to Skegness for the week with my dad and sister.

I've started volunteering at a nursery which is really fun! They're some awesome kids there and going means i get to do childish things like paint and stuff :D

So yeah, life's all good at the moment :)

It's been a while...

I haven't posted in yonks so i figured i'd update you all.

I started college last tuesday and i'm having a blast. It's really nice because your treated like an adult, not a child. The work load is higher than i'm used to but that's to be expected with A-levels.

Merlin comes on tonight! After months of waiting it's here which is excellent, i'm looking forward to it so much. It's goin to be amazing i can tell. I will write a review of it afterwatrds, i've discovered i'm quite good at that!

I watched Camp Rock yesterday, that disney movie with the Jonas Brothers, and i really liked it! It's kind of like High School Musical but the music is better and the JB's are hotter. I think i'm starting to get an obbsession with the Jo Bro's. Yay, another obbsession!!

I've applied for a job at Morrisons! Its a few miles down the road but if i catch the train i come out right next to ths store. I just really want to earn some money for once instead of waiting for people to bring it to me.

EMA is stupid. No, the goverment is stupid. Theyve delayed the EMA so i haven't even got the forms back yet. Once i get them back i have to take them into the college and get them to fill some things in, then i have to end it back, so it looks like i'm not going to be getting any money from them for the next few weeks.

GRRR!

GCSE Results 21st August 2008

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:18:39 GMT

So i was really nervous when i woke up yesterday morning about getting my results, because i didn't think i'd done too well. Mum ran me up to the school and i went in and got my envelope. For some reason i'd suddenly gotten all excited. I think it was relief that the wait was over to be honest!!

Anyway i opened the envelope and read all my results. Here's what i got:

Mathematics - B
Science - C
Additional Science - C
English - B
English Literature - C
Sociology - B
Media Studies - A
Religious Education - B
Physical Education - C

So i got:
4 C's
4 B's
1 A

I'm so happy with them! I passed everything meaning i'm into college!! I'm over the moon with my Media result though, that was the one subject i really wanted an A in, and it's what i got so i'm delighted!
And a B in maths surprised me! I'm rubbish at maths so i would've been happy with a C, but a B?! It's amazing!

We're having a family party tonight. I'm the only person in the family who has taken GCSE, and is going to college so they are all mega proud of me. I know there not top grades, but there grades i'm proud of so, yeah!

Guy Video

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:05:25 GMT

I've been working on this video for a few days now and it's finally done. So here it is, tell me what you think please as comments are golden!

It's about Guy and how he's angry and fed up with the way Marian never commits herself to him and never expresses her true feelings towards him.

Enjoy!

Why are people so ignorant?

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:18:51 GMT

Just after my year group left school, some of the 'rebellious' people in our year threw a beach party where they camped at at site near the beach. It all got a bit drunken and rowdy, and they were banned from the site.
Me and some friends planned to go there this week, just as something to do in the holidays. But when I rang up to book, they wouldn't let me because i'm from the same area as those idiots. It's the only campsite in the village so now we can't go.

Those arse's have ruined a trip for us because they thought it was really cool to drink and smoke and act like knobs. Some people are just so inconsiderate. I know exactly whose fault it is and i'm trying very hard to resist the urge to punch him in the face. If they weren't so interested in drink, maybe they would've had a better time and actually remembered their party.

I tried to pursuade the woman on the phone that we weren't like that, that we wouldn't bring any alcohol because none of us drink or smoke, and that we hadn't invited anyone else who might cause trouble. She still said no. But i suppose that's fair enough, and i can see things from their point of view. It's just a shame how one group of people ruins things for other people who are honest and just want a good time, alcohol free.

Why do these people seem to think the only way to have a good time is with alcohol in their bodies. It's not big and it's not clever, and all it leads to is a scummy life and liver disease.

So, if your reading this RH and friends, I suggest you ring up and apologise to the campsite, otherwise other people are just going to have their holidays ruined, like ours was. Oh, and while your doing something productive, get a job and start paying your way in the world. Stop relying on everyone else to clean up the crap you leave behind, because one day your going to get punched in the face and when you do, i will certainly be laughing.

Okay, so the BBC will be showing Merlin sometime this autumn (most likely in tha place of Robin Hood)
A couple of my friends have started up a forum ready for the show. It's got loads of great stuff on there about the Show, the cast, the characters, the legend and it's a great site if you just want to meet people who enjoy the the legend.
I'm a member and it's a really awesome site. I suggest you all get joining!

Beach Trip

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:08:57 GMT

This was us at the beach, the second day we went. Three beach days in a week!!
Okay so there's Sophie, Me, Sophie, Katherine, Kerry and Anna. These girls are amazing. Literally the best friends anyone could ever imagine!
I apologise for Sophie's face. She's a bit mental and has weird moments a lot.

We are off camping next week. God help the rest of the campsite!!
