Oh hi there my blog. I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN FOR AGES, my last post was just too frickin' long and I was like "just don't blog for a while" that and I've been busy busy busy with school and stufffff.
There is nothing very interesting to write here to be honest, I'm in a pretty goooood mood because it's Friday wooohhohohoohohohoohohoohohoho. The idea of two days off school and not having to get up early is just awesomeeee. When you've been off school for months and months the idea of a couple of days off work is just the norm but its a rare treat these days ;) well not rare but ya know....
I've definitely got used to sixth form now, its still weird but its a lot more enjoyable than it was to begin with. I enjoy the subjects I'm doing and although the work load is heavy, I have lots of frees and try and work as much as possible in them so there's never too much to do at home. Having said that I have an essay to write over the weekend (erurghghghg) its for Drama though so it's not too bad! Once you sort of get into the swing of writing and researching stuff its okay, sometimes I just need to tell myself to stop being lazy ;)
Its been a good couple of days because...
1) Interform rounders got cancelled yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! God knows why we still have to do sport in year 12?! Its ridiculous! Having said that when we did it on Monday it turned out to be quite fun, all the form tutors got involved and it was just really relaxed and funny
2) We had a fire drill yesterday! I don't know why but firedrills always excite me hahaha. Its time out of lessons and its just fun...all of the year 7 kids looked so scared though
3) I signed up to be on the charity committee. That might sound incredibly lame but I think it'll be fun! We get to organise cake sales and shit and it'll be really cool to know that you're actually helping out a charity. Plus Heather's the 'cheif' of the commitee so it'll be a laaugghhhhh.
4) Today I got to help out in a year 7 class! My form tutor wanted people to help with his year 7's, help them spell and tings and I did and it was just funny. They're all so cute and obedient, they performed little plays and I got to judge them, waaahooo.
That's about all I can think of for now, this has been a bit dull but ya know ;)
Now I must go and eat....toooodles!
Have an awesome weekend

A Mother's Son
This is gonna be a slightly weird post but I just need to write about this because I'm really this lame ;)
So there was this drama play thing on ITV last Monday and honestly it was so darn good. Now I'm not great at writing, I'm barley coherent in real life, let alone when trying to explain something through words! But I will try because it was just that good. It was one of those programmes, that just like with a good book or film, I got completely sucked into. I couldn't not write about it! I also feel like when I've written about it won't feel the need to keep rambling onto other people about how awesome it was ;)
It was a sort of murder mystery. Basically it was about this woman who thought her son had murdered someone (told you I'm not good at explaining things ha.) It starts off with everyone finding out about the murder and because of various reasons and plot twists, the mother believes its her son. The home they live in is really messed up because the Mum lives with her new husband and his two kids along with her two kids from a previous marriage. From the start there is rift between Rosie (the Mother) and her new husband, they're trying to all live in this house happily together but can't because of their children. A lot of it was about relationships, not just between Rosie and Ben (new husband) but between Rosie's children and Ben too. It sort of questions how far he would go for children who aren't actually his. Rosie and Jamie's (Rosie's son/ the murderer) Dad are adamant that even if Jamie had killed the girl they would never go to the police. While Ben thinks of the risk to his own children and says that they must go; the whole thing is shot incredibly well and because it was over two episodes it completely kept you guessing. You don't know that it's actually Jamie until one of the final scenes.
The last two scenes are, for me, what made all of it so good. Although Jamie did kill this girl and as you're watching it you feel incredibly sorry for her and her family, you also feel incredibly sorry for Jamie too. What was so good about it I think is that it was from the perspective of this mother. It wasn't what you would think a murder mystery would be about, from the perspective of the police or the family of the murdered girl, it was from the mother of this boy who had done this completely terrible thing but still had the forgiveness of his Mum and Dad. Seriously its making me cry just writing about this, the final scenes were so heart breaking, it just ending on Rosie and Jamie standing outside the police station and Rosie putting her hand out for him and them walking in together. There was no big ending where the police get him, nothing at all melodramatic, it was just it. He'd killed someone and his parents needed to be there for him because how couldn't they be?
It was acted so well too. Again there was nothing melodramatic about it also because of the acting. The guy who played Jamie was completely dry all the way through so you didn't really ever know if he'd done it or not until he admits at the end. And the actors playing the Mum and Dad were just incredible, they both portrayed their characters so well, just being completely helpless but at the same time wanted to know what drove their son to do it.
Sorry that I've just rambled on and on, as you can tell I really like drama! I love the way that just by a few hours of television you can get so attached to one family and some characters and one story. And people can interpret it in some many different ways, not just 'A Mother's Son' but just any programme on the telly, or any play or book or film or whatever, its kinda like art and can mean different things to different people. Like this one programme has been absolutely amazing to me but another person could find it completely crap!
Maybe all of this is just me being weird and normal people don't get this bothered about some ITV drama. So yeah, sorry for that but I just couldn't stop thinking about it and wanted to write it down in a few words...or a few paragraphs...
I advise anyone who hasn't seen it to go YouTube it! You won't regret it ;)
Anyway jeez this has been long and slightly strange. I won't post for like a week to make up for all of this.
GOODBYE. xxxxxx

30 day challenge: Day 30
OMG ITS THE END OF THE CHALLENGE, TIME HAS GONE SO QUICK. Lol, jokes. To be honest this challenge seems to have dragged on and onnnnnnnnnnn, maybe its cos I haven't been doing it every day...but it has seemed like bloody ages since I started it! But anyway..
A photo of yourself from today and what are five good things that have happened since you started the challenge?
Okay, okay I know. I am aware that I just look stupid in this photo but trust me all the others were much worse! Its only 10 in the morning, I'm still in my pjs and have no make up on so soz. ;) But yeah, that's that. I look silllyyyyy.
The good things...
1) My laptop got fixed (unfortunately its broken again but it was good whilst it lasted)
2) I started piano lessons
3) I got my GCSE results back and apart from Maths was really pleased!
4) Sixth form started
5) I found Caspar Lee on YouTube.
And that is that...the 30 day challenge completed! Its really help me get into blogging again and hopefully I'll keep doing regular posts!
SCHOOL UPDATE:
I said in my last post I would write about starting sixth form in another one sooo here ya go...
so far I don't know if I like it that much or not. Its such a big change and I really miss just normal school. I miss my form and I can't believe I'm saying this, I even miss wearing uniform. OH GOD. Haha! Its cool having a lot more freedom I suppose and hopefully I'll just get used to it. At the moment its so tiring though and I'm just being really lazy and all "I can't be bothered" with it. That's such a bad attitude to have, I should embrace the change like I said I was going to and just realize that school is important and I need to start working hard again.
However, all of that is easier said than done! Hopefully I'll start getting into it all more next week, its just all a bit too new and scary for me. I sound like I'm wining which I probably am but I didn't want to just write "yeah sixth form's great, I'm really enjoying it" if I didn't actually think it...so yeah, sorry. For now though I'm just so glad its the weekend and I haven't got much homework so all is good for the next couple of days...:D
Doctor Who's on tonight which I'm excited for! Other than that there's not really much to say about today, I have to go to the bank and fill in a form about taxes. Bloody hell my life is so damn interesting, aren't you jealous?! I also really want some cake...I might do some baking! mmmmmmmm
BUT ANYWHO THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS, HAVE A FABADAB WEEKEND.
TA TAAAAA

30 day challenge: Day 29
Who is your hero?
Hmmm...this is probably going to be another one of those questions that I can't answer because I'm not imaginative or anything and really have no idea. I don't really have a hero or any specific role models. Having said that I really like/look up to in a way Louise from Sprinkleofglitter.
I know that's kind of lame because obviously I've never actually met and she's just some random woman who makes videos on the internet but she just seems lovely and has a cute little family and such a positive attitude towards life! Genuinely, if ever I'm feeling down I'll watch one of her videos! ;) So yeah, I wouldn't say she's my 'hero' but I guess I do look up to her a bit.
Sorry I haven't written since Tuesday, SCHOOLLLLLL has come. I don't know why I felt the need to put the word school in capital letters.
I really can't be bothered to write about sixth form and stuff at the moment, I feel too tired. Maybe tomorrow......FAIL.
BUT YEAH BYEEEE. xxx

30 day challenge: Day 28
What stresses you out?
School
Stomach aches
Just general life sometimes...
So I went to pizza hut yesterday
It was tasttyy, I think I ate a bit too much though. But it was nice all the same, I don't often see Beth and her friends outside of school so it was nice, bit of a change from the usual!
The crew are going ice skating today. I cannot ice skate to save my life so I'm kinda worried! I haven't been in about a year either so this'll be interesting! Its for James' birthday though, thought we'd do something specialllll and ice skating is what we came up with. Yes, I know, we really do live life on the edge ;)
SCHOOL TOMORROW.
Ah that's so weird to say, I'm pretty ready for it though. Prep work done, stationary bought, should be goooood. It'll be fun tomorrow too because its just an induction day which hopefully means we're out of lessons and just being introduced to our forms and stuff. So far I only know about four people in maaa new form so it'll be interesting to see who else is with me! I'm really looking forward to it all to be honest, although I'm just going back to my school it'll still be like a new, fresh start! BRING ON YEAR TWELVE. Haha.
Anyway I'm afraid this blog is going to have to end now because there is nothing else with any significance going on in my life.
SOOOO GOOOOOOOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Have a nice Tuesday! xxx

30 day challenge: Day 27
Photo of your city (town)....
Since my laptop has broken I haven't got any of my photos to hand so err...here's one off Wikipedia! ;)
There yaa gooo. I don't actually live in a city, its like a really, really small town. That photo makes it look all pretty which I guess it is..on a sunny day at least!
I had a really lovely day yesterday. I went to Cheltenham with my Mum, we don't go there that much cos its not really near our small little town! Haha, but its really pretty there and there's some coooooool shops. There's this really cute one, damnnn I've completely forgotten the name! But it sold loads of sweet little ornaments and candles and stuff. There was a sale on so we bought some stuff! I got this reallly gorgeousss throw/quilted rug thing, here's a photo....
Sorry the lightings a bit crap, but yeah, it was reduced from £95 to £28! Bargaaainnn! We also went to Paperchase, its like stationary heaven ;)
It was just a funnn day. I don't often spend that much time with my Mum so it was nice.
Only a couple more days of the holiday left now, the more I think about it, the more depressing that is. I'm sort of scared for sixth form but but buttttt it should be okay! I'm half looking forward to it, hopefully once we get into a routine it'll be fine.
I'm going to Beth's birthday meal thing this afternoon. We're going to Pizza Hut woooooooo! Unlimited ice cream, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh babeyyyyyy. Haha, I'm so weird.
Anyway, yes, gooooodbye!

30 day challenge: Day 26
What do you want your dream wedding to be like?
Hmm, I'm not honestly sure. I never really think about it..although having said that Emma has got me into watching proposal videos on YouTube. I know, that's really weird...hahah! But some of them are really cute and fun to watch ;)
But anyway..dream wedding. Hmm, I don't know, I guess I'd like it to be quite big and have everyone I knew there. I don't think a really small, intimate ceremony would be for me ;) just something big and fun and happy and beautiful and special. Yeahhhhhhhhh.
We're going to visit my Great Auntie & Uncle later, we're going out for dinner which should be kewwwl. My Great Uncle, even though he's like 90 something is still really funny and full of wit ;) its amazing!
The only thing I'm annoyed about is that I'll miss Doctor Who! NOOOOOOOOOOOO. But its okay, all is well because I have Sky+ so I'm gonna record it. I'll be up first thing tomorrow watching it! Mann, I'm such a nerd, I'm genuinely really excited for it!! The advert looks so frickin' cooooooool. I wish David Tennant was the Doctor still though, as much as I love Matt Smith, David Tennant was the best! And Billie Piper too, lots of people hated Rose but I thought she was awesome. But anyway, I better stop talking about that now...I could go on forever...
It's James' birthday on Tuesday so we're all making little video birthday messages for him. I tried to film mine today but it turned out really crap...hopefully it'll be better tomorrow and I can think or something actually decent to say! And that's about all for now.
Hope you're having an awesome Saturday, au revoir!
