So so sorry that I haven't posted for ages! I've got exam season so my life has been full of revision and text books. I also had a uni interview yesterday which I think went well :) Is anyone else applying to uni this year? I cannot wait to go. It should be amazing !

By the way, these photos are of my room which I spoke about in my last blog, I still need to hang up some pictures as you can probably tell...

I'm thinking about starting fresh, maybe with a new music or photo-blog...has anyone set up their own phtography business or have any tips on doing it, or maybe know someone who has done it? If so, I'd be so happy to hear from you. Anyway, gotta go now but I will be back soon!

Hello! I started my new job on Friday, I was so nervous and couldn't finish my tea before I went. However, it went well, once I get into it, I'm okay :). My next shift is on christmas day so it should be quite busy which is good.
This picture is me and my cousin at our family christmas party; its like a tradition in our family where we all go to my grandmas for lunch a week or so before christmas and we all get a present from her tree! haha. This proably sounds really weird to you all! I am all sorted for christmas this year, well nearly, I have still got a mountain of presents to wrap!
Me and my sister, Hannah are going to see Madagascar 2 in a little bit :) loved the first one so I hope this one lives up to my expectations. I really want to see Twilight but I have made a pact with myself and friends to read the book before I see the film else it will wreck it.
An advert for The Family Christmas Special was on last night, I loved that show so I'm glad its back on Christmas Eve! For all of you who don't know what The Family is, its a program where one normal family is filmed for 100 days. I wanted to apply to be on the next series but my mum refuses.L.O.V.Exxx

This is my sister and I, she's ill at the moment with this cold virus that's going round, it's almost impossible not to catch it, my whole year group is ill. I have been trying to protect myself stocking up on water and fruit. hopefully, i won't be ill this Christmas.

I've only got a week left of school now until the Christmas holidays, hopefully it'll go quickly. I'm making a friend a scrapbook this year so will hopefully get that done this week, I have 60 pages to create. I'll try and put some pictures of it up on here if it looks good.

I have just started reading Twilight as some of you know and i have been sucked into it already. At first I thought narr vampires aren't my thing but since everyone was talking about this book, I decided to give it a read.

The Pigeon Detectives were absoulelty fandabbidosi, they came to my hometown and it was just amazing, I had seen them twice before and they never fail to entertain. I was right at the front and found myself as the only girl in that area as I was surrounded by a load of bald men! It was the best gig I have been too and Matt the lead singer even crowd surfed and then fell right next to me! Loved every second of it!

(the photo above is by Gary Stafford as I was too busy dancing around to take a photo)
The Virgins from New York were good although the lead singer came on in his socks!

Billy The Kid were great and have a good style -they all had their jeans turned up at the bottom.

I recommend catching the pigeons on their tour :)

So quite a lot has been happening this week, hence the lack of me blogging. These pictures are from a bike ride I did a couple of days ago. I love the sky when its all pinky, it looks amazing!

Hopefully i will be putting some pictures up of my week. I've had a few parties, seen the pigeon detectives in my hometown, who were absolutly incredible, even if the arena did fill up with bald, sweaty men as soon as the band came on. I also got a labrodor puppy called Maxxie who is so cute, I will definately be putting some pics of him up. I also went to Leicester to look round the university there which is now one of my favourites so i'll be applying there hopefully.

I better go now before maxxie chews our living room to pieces.

this is officially the smallest house in Britain, it's in the world record book and everything. that woman was soo cool, i loved her little outfit and red riding hood esque cloak.

What amazed me was the fact that a 6 foot tall fisherman used to live here, I am just under 6 ft and I felt soo claustrophobic, I don't know how he could stand it.

The house was in one of the most picturesque places I have been, just opposite a tranquil harbour filled with cute little sail boats. It reminded me of my favourite place, St.Ives and I loved it.

I recommend you go.

I loved them all and Sam is one of my favourite new artists. A lot of the guides didn't like him as he appears quite a rocky/festival guy and looked a bit drunk on stage but I thinks he's great. He taught us this new word 'Skrod Wafer'. Yeah, I don't have a clue what it means either but I keep using it, mainly to insult my sister with becuase it sounds quite horrible.

Guess who's seventeen!
ME!

After a long fun filled day at the beach, a few of my friends came back to mine for a game of murder mystery. It was supposed to be a kids game but I got confused at the end when I read my card wrong. It said 'You are not the murderer', but silly me didn't see the 'not' part of the line so I thought I was the murderer at the end!

I went on the entertain my guests by DJing, I want to get into a routine of doing it more cos it's dead fun! I ran out of songs all my friends would know so I ended up playing Grease songs and a Jungle Book mix which went down well. I also got a few snaps of my friends doing monkey dance to ' i wanna be like you-ou-ou'.

Earlier on, we had spent the day on the beach until it rained when our group of 20 decided to dominate the bowling alley across the road taking up most of the aisles. We then trekked up the road to Lazer Quest. If you've never been then GO.
IT IS TRULY EXCELLENTAI!

Yours Truly,

Skins.......the last episode...

2008-04-17T02:59:00.000-07:00

Last Year, Tony Stonem and his bunch of friends hit our screens and we immediately caught on to how this program was so much different and better than other programs. We could identify with the characters as they went through a quite normal teenage life ( though they got out more than us and had better clothes). In fact we were pretty much hooked before the show had premiered due to its 'character introducing' adverts.

Although shows like the OC were aimed at 'teens' they didn't really capture what it's 'really' like to be one, Skins, however dealt with the truthful, humorous side of being a teen and you didn't feel you were being warned about the issues you may come across in life. Like Cassie for example, she had an eating disorder but she didn't drop dead like the girl on Hollyoaks but she didn't have a happy ending either. It just shows true, honest life.

What I like about Skins is the humour, never an episode goes by without making me laugh, but the Skins crew don't do this using a joke, they do this by setting up the most bizarre situation, like when Cassie started dancing with her teachers in her exam and when Sid and Tony stole Chris's coffin. When the steal his coffin has to be one of the momentus occasions in skins, I was smiling through the whole of it because it was just so bizarre yet as they thought, a nice thing to do for Chris.

Another thing I like is the music, it always lifts the mood of the show, even at a sad time. I was disappointed in this last episode, that it didn't end with a song sung by the characters, I can listen to Sid's 'It's a Wild World' over and over again. But, I suppose as they are all leaving our screens for good it had to end on a more serious emotional note.

We are now left wondering if the next Skins crew can live up to it? And will anyone ever capture our heart like Sid and Tony? and will we ever love someone as much as Chris?

Skins

2008-04-14T09:44:00.000-07:00

I'm sure lots of you have been watching Skins on channel 4 and are eagerly waiting for tonights episode after asking yourself the questions "Where is Cassie?", "Has the group split up for good?" and "What will it be like without Chris?".

Well I am one of those people and last weeks episode left me in a sorry state as my favourite character Chris died due to an unexplained illness. I felt like complaining to Channel 4 asking them why they got rid of the best character but I decided these things have gotta happen like when your favourite goes out of X factor or Big Brother ( although I stop watching them then). I'm hoping tonights episode will leave me happier and excited for the next series.

Has anyone reading this experienced the thrill of going to a Skins party, I realllllllllly wanted to go but after seeing they were all in cities far away from my hometown and that the age limit was 18, I sat and sulked. They look to be good though so if you live in any of the cities I suggest you go, theres a chance of meeting the actors!

Gwen Stefani's new Harajuku Lovers Fragrance collection looks so cute! I cannot wait to get my hands on one or all of these bottles but i'll have to wait until September time when they are released. They remind me of the momiji dolls which i've recently been obessed with. I soon hope to have one of these Harajuku dolls sitting next to my momiji, I just hope they smell nice!

Hey everyone, just decided to startthe blog thing....this is hopefully the first blog of many more to come! you better be excited.
Well it's the easter holidays here in England and I have 2 and a half weeks of school, wooo!!!, the bad bit is that I have to revise throughtout this holiday for my up and coming GCSEs. I am deading them and want to get them over and done with and I really hope I do well.
This week I have done quite a bit, I was at my grandmas on Thursday and she makes the best dinners ever! I have loved them for as long as I can remember, it was good. I took my cousins to the park aross the road from her house, we decided to play a bit of rounders, not so good if there only four of you and you are using a log as a bat and a football as the ball. haha. We did quite well with the litle equipment we had and each managed to score a rounder.
On Saturday, me and my mother went to a party, I didn't hardly know anybody! and I had never seen so many little kids in one backgarden!. There was millions running about and tripping up over everything.
After we left the party at about 6.45pm I had to go babysit, I go babysit these three little boys aged six, eight and ten. They are really funny kids but usually do cause a bit of a hassle, however this time was good. They had to go in bed early as they were going out the next morning so the oldest one told them to be good and not mess about which was great for me. The worst part was sitting in their living room freezing cold as I couldn't get the fire on!. It was a gas fire and the knob wouldn't twist. Good job I brought a jumper!
Got up on Sunday morning ready for a day of house hunting, wehad four houses lined up ready to view all in different places, the best one was first and this is the one I think we are getting. It has three bedrooms, one bedroom is in the loft and that will be my sisters room, its quite cool because its like a princesses castle, you feel like rapunzal up there, without the long hair!
It also has a little computer room, and by little I mean like a cupboard, it reminds me of Harry Potters closet bedroom. Theres a massive pond in the back garden with a cute lttle bridge going over it. Its ace but my mum doesn't want it and says we will get a hot tub instead, fair enough.
The other three houses were pretty good, the second one we looked at was my second favourite and it was down the street were I used to live with my dad. I think I like it because I love the street and it brings back good memories :]
On monday, I went out to town shopping, I met up with a friend in a cafe so that she cold write in this scrapbook I am making for my friend for her birthday, she better love it because I've been making it for more than a week now and its still not finished!
I got a new outfit in town, i'll post it on here later, the only problem is , is that I haven't got any shoes! I need some grey, silver or blue shoes for under a tenner as thats all I have left!
today I havent really done that much, I spent an hour and a half ironing all these clothes and bedsheets as a favour for my mum and now i'm just about to get into the bath then I might go for a run :] as Ihaven't for ages. I always say I will go for a run but I never do .
Speak to you soon
