Oops - sorry for being a lousy blogger. I have a new blog and a livejournal now, as well as a fistful of exams coming up. It's a recipe for disaster.

-&-

I love blogging, but is there a point to it when you know no one's going to read it?

I know that this blog will get no further than my own eyes, but i still post stuff that I think other's would want to see.

However - if someone is actually reading this piece of crack, then honestly, thank you, but you may want to move on to someone else's - I'm a strict writer for randomness that no one's going to read...

Anywho, the show must go one-->

If you like fashion, i've found a fab blog that'll quench (or not?) your tingly fashion senses - i'm a sucker for a bit of la mode (if that's even grammatically correct for the Frenches...)

- Here ye... [The Fashion Breakfast Club]

Mannn..

Media teacher's cripesss...

He's a stupid, leniant and oblivious man and he's going to be the one who makes me fail Media :(

I'd love media if i got a good teacher with a small class and no annoying classmates, who are as stupid as you can get :@ (I've got exactly the opposite, thanks to my bad, bad luck...)

Shooting hell - this is going to be TOUGH year...

-HELP!

Oh, and I've decided to teach myself the basics of politics so I can try and take it for A-Levels :D

Politics is a subject that I'd like to know more about because kids these days are so oblivious to governmental issues and don't, to be frank, give a damn :)

But if i end up not liking the course, then I'll drop it and probably take another instead.

I had the choice to take physiology for GCSE's, but I didn't and now I'm kind of regretting it.

It seems like a good subject and I don't really know why I didn't take it.

Instead, I had to take a stupid, stupid subject with only 3 girls (including me) in it - ICT :/

I regret choosing it, but I can't go back now. I'll just have to deal with it because I was the one who chose it.

I might choose to take Physiology for A-levels, but I'm not sure yet...

- Got to leave my choices WIDE open :)

Well, that wasn't so bad, now, was it?

It was my first day of school in Year 10 today.
7 weeks off for summer vacation went pretty fast and before you know it, I'm all growin' up :)
I managed to get a weird new teacher for Media Studies and a REALLY quiet teacher in Maths.
I also, coincidentally, got the 'teacher-from-hell' (as some would call her) for French, but luckily, she likes me, so I'm safe for the next 2 years I'll have with her :)
Oh, oh, oh! I also got the new Media Suite for Media.
It's apaz really spunky, but I dunno'. I haven't seen it yet, but my first Media lesson is on Thursday, i think??

Aw, shucks - I ate all the Hula-Hoops o.o
I wasn't supposed to eat the whole pack, cuz' my sister's making us din-dins soon...
Whoops :D

Little Subjects

I'm currently suffering from writer's block...
I can't think of how to continue my Naruto fanfics;
(here, btw and here :) Review if you have an account ;D)
Hmm... I'm not even sure if I like the second one.
The first few chapters are absolute crap and I don't even know what's going to happen ><

Anyways, I'm facebooking so much these days :
I bet it's not even good for your health.

Oh, and I start my grown-up lessons soon at school, AKA. Year 10 GCSE preperation lessons :P
Sounds fun enough :)
I ended up spending a good deal of my time towards 'Germanese' revision. (Y)
What can I say; I want to do well in my studies ^^
But, it's the same-old-same-old. I'm going back to school on Tuesday, and I haven't even got my school uniform sorted...

Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, She's a round bellied girl... (8)

I've just finished watching the new Studio Ghibli film; Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea :D

It's unbelievably cute!

If you're wondering how I got access to it, I managed to buy the DVD when I went Hong Kong.

Lucky ><

It's like THE kawaii-est movie ever!

I love, love, love Studio Ghibli, and I own most of the films on DVD (Y)

I don't, however, have Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, Pom Poko, Porco Rosso or My Neighbour the Yamadas. I really want to own each and every one of them on DVD though... :D

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea is about a red-haired goldfish, who one day goes up to the surface of the sea and falls in love with a little boy named Sosuke. However, Sosuke doesn't know that Ponyo is 'special'. She can turn into a human, temporarily, when she tastes human blood - and she just so happens to taste Sosuke's blood... That's where this magical and unique tales begins :)

Another animation I'm hooked on at the moment is Gundam :P

I've only just begun watching Gundam Seed though, and have only watched 3 episodes, but in those 3 episodes, I've experienced LOADS of action and an adventure in the making! It's great, and I'm a shonen anime addict at the moment, and I'm definitely fangirling over this!

Other shonens I'm watching include; Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Gintama, One Piece and Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

To be honest, I ;heart; romance, but at the moment, shoujo isn't appealing to me.

It's cute and everything, but the only shoujo I'm watching is Shugo Chara - that's weak.

I'm usually hooked onto shoujo - it's weird...

I think it's because shonen anime has WAY more good-looking guys in it (haha), and real, action-packed fights. One turn off though, is the amount of FILLERS! ><

I hate them!

But, c'est la vie.

Oh, oh, oh!! I forgot to tell!

In HK, i managed to find a VCD version of Koizora! I mentioned Koizora in an earlier post because I ended up watching it online, and found it to be one of the most heart-warming films on earth!

I actually freaked when I saw it in a store - it was one of HK's latest releases, although in Japan, it's considered quite old...

I love the film! ^^

"Ponyo loves Sosuke"

The VitaminWater Breakthrough!

There's a GENIUS invention out there!

It's name, you ask?

The ONE & ONLY VitaminWater!

I'm hooked on the stuff, and it's really good for you! ><

One pity though - England only has 6 flavours, whilst America (Damn you -_-) has 15 flavours!

Anddd... America's wayyy cheaper for a bottle.

In England, the cheapest you can get a bottle of VitaminWater is at about £1.40.

In America, however, you can get a bottle of the 'goodstuff' for $0.50 at it's cheapest!

Look at exchange rates now-a-days, and do the maths!

I still buy it though, 'cuz it's damn heavenly!

Favourite flavour is probably Revive for recovery ;P
Spark's the only flavour with natural caffeine, so it's my official revision drink :D

~~

At the moment, I'm totally hooked on Taylor Swift :D

I heart 'You Belong With Me', and it's video.

I'm on a downloading spree for my iTunes library ;)

Chaos

I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown soon...
I'm going all physced out because of this tiff between me and my friend.
It happened about a month ago, but ever since I saw her in town the other day, I feel as if it isn't over between me and her.
There's a stiff tension around her that makes me think that she hates me.
Perhaps she does - but perhaps she doesn't.
I'll be making false assumptions against one of my friends. That's one of the worse things I could ever do.
I keep telling myself that things will be okay, but, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure they will.
This morning, I had to chant 'Healthy mind, Healthy body' - whatever that means, and I had to keep telling myself to calm down - all because I kept getting fired up whenever something went wrong - for example; my hair looks terrible and I couldn' t get it to at least look decent. I re-did it a zillion times, but tried to keep my nerves at a steady rate.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

LET THE LOVE TEAR US APART;

Hey, hey! I'm backk :)
Stormy weather today :( It's raining and it's windy and it's dull.
Which literally means that i'm feeling a bit under the weather as well

But, good news is always there and i'm delivering :)

Kawaii Notice, everyone!

♥ messing around in your room and taking random photos?
That's exactly what i ended up doing yesterday :D

TRAFFIC JAM!

Sorry for the delay these past few weeks. I was on holiday in Humid Hong Kong ^^

It was fun, as always. Me and my family go almost every year, and each year always seems to surprise me.

HK is like a second home to me, and I even sometimes feel that the country i'm living in right now isn't good enough... Because it isn't.

HK has everything that I want in life - it's a bustling city/ you can travel to places easily/ you're familiar with the Chinese-ness/ it's prosperous and active/ there's LOADS of kawaii shops etc./ but most of all - the boys :)

I suddenly realised on my trip to HK this year the reason why i'm not interested in Western boys.

Being a true British-born-Chinese, i should have some interest in the matter of boys when i talk with my friends or my sisters, but, to be honest, i don't.

And the reason? All the boys they talk about are Western males; from movies or TV or our classes together.

But in HK, they, of course, have LOADS of Chinese males, which i actually take interest to. It's the same with Japanese men or Korean men - it's the east-Asian look I personally like :)

Actually now that i think about it; this topic is kind of... weird, isn't it?!

I think it's teenage hormones :) *haha*

Anywho, more on the information about where we stayed etc. (Back to basics ;])

Our Aunt kindly lent us out her apartment in the Eastern bit of the New Territories.

It's super nice there, but it wan't our first time. She had lent it out to us last year too.

Very modern and industralised, it's ages different to my dad's old village, where he used to live as a kid boy - aww.

Our dad always says how 'when he was younger, all he had to play with were marbles, so you should be grateful for what you have now'.

... It makes him sound so old!

But, i am very grateful for all the things i have.

Talking about grateful...

My dad brought me a spanking, new laptop :D
Strangely, i didn't even have to ask him for it, because i wasn't even intending on buying a laptop when i got on the plane for the flight.

It never even crossed my mind 'till he said to me, after discussing about my sister's want for a new laptop, "Do you want a laptop as well?"

Obviously, i said nonchalantly: "Only if you're willing to pay."

:P

It's a white Fujitsu.

I was trying sooo hard to look for a white laptop, because i think the colour suits technology.

A black sheen is always classic, though.

I'll be reporting more of my time in Honky Land :D

Beyond Price

"It's the simple things that are beyond price."

-Kayt Jones

"And i said 'What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?'" (8)

Tiffany & Co.

Holly Golightly.

The two go hand-in-hand.

I absolutly adore the film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and i was watching it yesterday morning.

When i was shopping, later on in the day, i realised that my 'Tiffany's' is actually 'Urban Outfitters'.

Laugh all you like but i find it quite logical.

Holly Golightly thought of Tiffany's as a 'comfort' place - to get away from the 'mean reds'.

Although there isn't an Urban Outfitters where i live, whenever i go to a city centre, I always like to look around.

Sure, Urban Outfitters isn't as expensive or high-class as Tiffany & Co. but it gives me a self-satisfaction.

I love looking at the clothes, and occasionaly i might buy the odd piece, if it isn't that expensive.

I find Urban Outfitters absolutely wonderful if you can spend your days staring at the unique clothes and simple jewellery.

The interior design of the shop is also lovely and the staff are friendly, too. :)

You should try finding your 'Tiffany's'. It's great when you know what it is.

The Friend & Me.

With so many days in your life, it seems almost impossible to pick a 'favourite'.

However, yesterday was one of those days where i just felt happy and free and full of life :)

I went shopping with a friend, who grew quite distant over a period of 1 and a half years.

We used to be best of friends when i first started out in secondary school, but slowly, our friendship kind of 'melted away'.

I became friends with other people, and she became friends with more people.

But yesterday, we kind of built up our friendship more, and now, she's coming to my birthday sleepover on Friday! :P

It was so great yesterday though.

We went in one of those cute photo-booths with the cute frames around them and had a ball!

Andd, she bought me 'Blondie: Greatest Hits' for my birthday present, which i listened to straight after i got home ^^

Love you, H.M :)

Euphoria

It's 7:45am and i have to start walking to school in 35 minutes :/

It's a early - blissful - June morning; the sun's in the sky and there's not a cloud in sight, blah.

I'm trying a new concoction of mine for breakfast - strawberry yogurt mixed with clustered cereal - yum!

It actually tastes really good! ><

Now that i think about it, why haven't i mentioned Studio Ghibli in one of these posts of mine??!!
And thus, I go on...
Have you ever seen a Studio Ghibli movie? (ha)
Like 'Spirited Away' or 'The Cat Returns'?
If you haven't, you're missing out!
They're awesome movies, with great characters and great narratives :)
I have to meet Hayao Miyazaki one day. He's the greatest director ever!

... I think that new concoction of mine (^) is putting me on crack...

That was random babble.

Woah!

Okay, it's like 11pm and I'm not on track... at all.

I'm supposed to be doing a short essay for history about what we learn about WW2 in the film 'Goodnight Mr. Tom'... instead of posting blogs and reading other people's posts :P

A good film overall - just a bit sad :(

And i kind of sound weird if I say that i actually liked the film if we watched it in school.

School makes most educational films seem more boring then they actually are :/

Let's just hope that we don't have to watch 'Sleepless in Seattle' or 'Spirited Away' in school!

Oh, and i mentioned about Science GCSE's in an earlier post, didn't I?

Yeah, well, I said that those exams are in 5 weeks, didn't I?

...

Now, they're in 2 weeks!! ><

Okay, so they're only multichoice questions - I'm still going to do absolutly rubbishly in them!

You wouldn't believe it - listen (or read) to this..

My class was doing some practise papers in Biology...

As one of the top-class students, i'm expected to get a grade B or A...

I got a C - and just!

And thus, the 'REVISION: 24/7' plan has begun!

Exam Prep

School's a drag ¬¬

I really can't be bothered with it, especially if we have important exams coming up in EVERY subject - and i currently have 17 subjects that i'm being tested in...

I'm trying to revise as much as possible, but when i try, i get distracted and bored, and i never am able to learn anything in the end :(

Well, exams are in 2 weeks time, but my Chemistry, Physics and Biology are in 5 weeks time. Those are the most important though, because they're part of the GCSE exam we'll be taking in 2 years time.

GCSE exams, for all you who don't live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, are the exams we have to take at the end of Year 11, often required for students who want to study A-Levels.

So, they're pretty important because in the end, they'll effect what university i get into, and what job i do when i'm older.

Oh god, i shouldn't have said that - it makes me even more nervous then i already am! ><

Well, on Wednesday, whilst i was sitting in English, the teacher was going over the structure of analytical writing for our 1 hour essay exam, and i FREAKED!!

It looked soo complex, for lil' ol' me!

I tried to make up a revision schedule, so that i could study my languages more, because i want to get into languages in university.

I made it so i study french on Sundays and Mondays, German on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Japanese on Thurday and Saturday, but with exams in other subjects coming up, i'm not going to have time to do that :(

So i'll just have to keep that schedule on hold until my exams have ended.

[Please make them end as soon as possible!]

The movie and the friends

I went to see a movie today with 3 of my friends.

It was quite nice - we got to chat about our wasted days at home, despite it being a 2 week break from school ¬¬

The movie, you ask? It was none other then '17 again'.

It's a pretty good film, and it made us laugh quite frequently :P

It's also one of those films that make you cringe at some of the moments, and make you shout at the characters saying "Don't do that!!!"

Luckily, i didn't humiliate myself and my friends by shouting at the screen :S

Another film I want to watch is 'Wolverine'!!!

I'm really looking forward to it's release; I can't waitt!!!

Hugh Jackman! ><

High Wind

It was THE perfect day for winding down your car window ALL the way down.

The sun was high, the temperature was warm and the breeze that lunged itself over the car was absolutely brilliant!

I was sitting in the back passenger seat of my sister's car, with both my sisters in the front.

They had their windows down just slightly and they had music blasting out the speakers.

I let the window pull down as far as it could go, and leaned my elbow on the sill of the window, holding the back of my hair down, so it wouldn't completely defy gravity :P

I closed my eyes, and let the wind burn past my skin, and take complete control of my mind.

The wind felt great!

It felt like all my worries were swept away in the direction that the wind was going.

My body and soul felt light.

It was the nicest feeling i've felt for quite a while. :)

A little bit of this: A little bit of that...

Yesterday was a pretty random day for me :)
At 10:30am, i had an appointment at the ortho, for my braces XD - I am now known as 'brace-face' according to my oldest sister :P
When they put the brace in, it didn't hurt, so that was relieving :P
I got home about 45 minutes later and watched Roman Holiday, (starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. It's a good movie, and my first time watching it too ^^)
I couldn't eat any lunch, much to my disappointment, but i did manage to eat a few nibbles of soft jacket potato - my sister's lunch =D
At about 1:30, my sister had a weird brainwave and she randomly said; "I feel like going shopping. Let's go!"
So we went shopping to a city centre, about 45 minute drive away from home.
My dad was out the house, so he knew nothing about us sneaking out the house to go shopping!
We did call him and tell him afterwards though :)
I managed to buy a few things from H&M - a pair of jeans, summery hair grips and some floral patterned shoes.
Altogether, they were pretty cheap so i was content with my buy :)

Now we're on the subject: what's your style of fashion?
I love being individual in style and in personality, so that i can create myself and my trademark, but sometimes, I can't resist buying things that are 'in' trend.

For example, baggy shirts are really popular amongst women, right?

I've got 2 of them in my wardrobe, and i'm currently hooked on them. But it's not because they're popular that i like them. I only buy things that i actually like, and things that suit me.

I'm really looking forward to summer, partly because i don't have to go out wrapped in a big coat and a scarf.

I can wear skirts and dresses without looking out of place, because in winter, i started wearing skirts, despite the freezing weather, just because i felt like it! ^^

I love clothes and shopping and just being outrageous with my fashion.

I'm still young and free, so i want to spend that time dressing as if i don't give a damn!

That's partly why i want to go to Japan - people are so out-front with their clothes and they have the confidence to wear something, even if it looks disgusting! >< *haha*

That person, who said this...

Last week, my friend told me something that got me sooo angry!

She told me that quite a while ago, she was walking behind this girl in our class, talking to this other girl. The girl in our class was crying because of her gran, who died about 8 years ago.

This is the bit that really got me angry:

My friend told me that she heard the girl say "I don't care about anybody else's relatives dying; I only care about my gran."

I got soo angry because of how selfish she was!

I'm not just referring to the loss of my mum, but just everyone in general.

She's insulting millions of people, and i know that one my friend's lost her uncle in a car crash AND her 16 year old cousin to cancer. Seriously though, she doesn't realise that what she said was so selfish and such a stupid thing to say!! Grr..

Snap/Crackle/POP!

Title's random - sorry! :P

I feel so guilty with myself because i've just been spending loads of money on stuff i don't actually need.
It's like clothes and books and little accessories and stuff!
I can't help it though!! Whenever i tell myself i'm not going to spend, i always end up spending anyway, because i say to myself that 1 more buy won't be any harm...
But it is, because as a 13 year old, i don't earn money. I don't want to ask for money from my dad, 'cuz that would be unfair, and so my bank account is slowly falling to emptiness. :(
Seriously, i have a problem!! ><

Denial

My friends came round on Friday for a sleepover and it was really fun :P

We had LOADS to eat and we managed to finish 2 tubs of Ben & Jerry's :O haha

And then after we had watched a film and it was about 1 o'clock, we went upstairs and sat on the double bed. We gossiped about people but then my friend asked me a weird question.

She asked me if i liked this boy, as in liked 'liked'. (that has been stated numerous times in previous posts).

At the time, i went silent for about 3 seconds and then stated 'no, why? Do you?'

To be honest i didn't know what to say. It striked me as kind of random. Do i normally look as if i like him? Because, to be honest i'm put in a position where i can't like or go out with any boy.

...And it's not because i'm a lesbian -_-

My mum told me and my two sisters quite a while before she died, that we shouldn't go out with any boy till we've graduated from university because we should focus on our studies. This has made me feel guilty plenty of times because of the little slips in my mind that's convincing me to like him.

My dad feels the same way as my mum, so that makes it kind of hard to bring boys over to our house. My oldest sister's done it before but that's because she's convinced my dad that her friend's gay when he's actually not! :P

For my birthday in June, i want to invite 7 friends, who are girls, and him round because he invited me to his birthday party. However, i have no idea how dad'll act and i personally don't want to find out because i have a guess.

He'll start thinking that his little girl's growing up too fast and other fatherly concerns about his youngest daughter.

But truthfully I only like this boy as a friend and not as a 'crush'

Hmph...

22nd March '09

It's soon that time of year again - mother's day.
Before mum died, me and my sisters would line up to give our presents to mum. These presents would be something like a photoframe with a family picture in it, or a small ornament.
In every shop i go in when i go shopping, there are always mocking signs reminding me of the occasion. It's kind of nostagic, but taunting at the same time.
My sisters and I have already had a mother's day without mum. We just get on with our everyday lives, but there's a funny air around everyone - like we're trying to push out the reality of mother's day away from us.

So, yesterday night, i was thinking about mum. I had just watched Koizora, and i was extremely sensative and emotional because i had been crying heavily at the ending of the film.

So, when i had tucked myself into bed (no one to do it for me, right?) i started sobbing again.

I was thinking about mum and how guilty i felt and stuff.

But i tryed to be extra quiet so that my sisters wouldn't wake up and worry about me.

But when i heard my sister's bedroom door open, i froze and help my breath.

I couldn't hear what she was doing but it sounded like she was just standing outside her door, from the lack of the sound of footsteps.

I think my sister had heard sobs coming from my room and came out of her bedroom to check that i wasn't actually crying.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

But i never talk to my sisters about my emotions.

You may be asking why?

Angst blinds the Innocent

My sister's been acting really strange recently and I can't figure out what's wrong with her.

I haven't had a proper conversation with my sister for about 3 days now and she hasn't uttered a single word to me either.

It's really lonely, because i'm normally really close to my sister. She's worrying my dad too and i think it's really selfish of her. I really don't know what we've done, if we have actually done anything, but she keeps lashing out on my dad and shouting at him, when all he wants is simple 'yes' or 'no' answer to his question.

Maybe i should try saying sorry to her or something or try talking to her, but i have a feeling that she'll start getting angry with me or something.

Maybe she just misses mum, and that's why she's like that. But, if that's the case, she doesn't have to so selfish because we all miss our mum.

My Otaku Friend

Ok, so it's really kinda funny...

My friend (who i stated earlier in the post 'Envying Birds') is becoming a gradual otaku.
Otaku is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games.
This friend of mine started to watch Naruto but his interest in it has become a... hobby, almost.
For christmas, instead of asking for a NDS, he asked for Naruto merchandise including an Akatsuki cosplaying outfit, a Naruto pencil case, keyrings, Konoha forehead protector and a Konoha wristband. For his birthday, he asked for a Sasuke cosplaying outfit.
Will he soon ask for figurines??
I'm hoping it won't come to that because otherwise, I think he would have a serious obsession with Naruto :S
**Please don't become an otaku, my friend!! ><**

Sakura

x

(P.S - I don't have any grudge against otakus, it's just that I don't want his room to start looking like this -

and also, Westerners seem to get the wrong definition when they think of otaku. I believe that otakus have more then an 'interest' in anime, manga or video games because they seem to have an obsession. Plus, my friend is cool >< :P)

Life & Love

Watching animes and reading mangas has taken my view to a whole new level. Seeing some of the many kind-hearted and optimistic charcters in animes has made me believe that if i act so nicely and innocently, i may be able to get something back in return - like the future that i have planned for myself, or to secure my dad a good place for when he's an elder. I do often think of selfish thoughts but I really try not to - maybe that's a thing that anime has taught be to do as well. If it wasn't for anime, i'd probably still be typing slang instead of proper English!
It's quite surprising isn't it?

The Sky of Love

'Koizora'

Honestly, a film i will never forget.

In December of last year, i handed in a piece of coursework for English which had to be a story revolving round the theme of 'Lost'.

[[adj - Unable to find one's way - No longer in the possession, care, or control of someone or something, No longer in existence; vanished or spent, Beyond reach, communication, or influence]]

I wrote a story that was completely real and it made about 90% of the people who read it, cry. It was based on my own experiances and i had wrote it in 1st person.

The film, Koizora, had reminded me of this story because they were so alike.

Like so many of the films i watch, this one made me cry as well.

But the tears steaming down my face felt... weird. They weren't tears that you get when you watch someone else cry and you start to well up too. Nor were they tears of pity.

I'm starting to realise what tears they were.

When i had watched Koizora, i had felt such a feeling of familiarity and grief that the tears falling down my face were that of pure sadness. No, that's not right. My tears weren't just those of sadness. They were also of joy.

It was nostalgic to watch Koizora.

But it was also refreshing.

"Last fall, over 3 million people were brought to tears by the movie Koizora."

Add another one onto the counter :)

The Pictures of Happiness

I went to the park today with 2 of my best friends because the weather was really nice. It's kind of hard to believe that a few weeks ago it was snowing and yesterday it was raining. Sun is rare at this time of year, but i still love it!

I took some pictures in the park because the sun makes me happy and being there with my friends is something unforgettable. So, hopefully i can share the happiness and the love :)

A Movie Worth the Praise

I watched an AMAZING movie yesterday and was completely moved by it.

It's actually a Japanese film and it was adapted into a film after the popular release of the manga and anime.

It showed never-ending friendship and it's extremely cute and sweet.

It made me cry, laugh and smile - and i'm not exaggerating. Not many films make me feel all those emotions that this one made me feel.

It's absolutly epic ><

I didn't know how much one changes when they're drunk until my sister came home just about half an hour ago completely out of her mind. She reeked of alcohol and was having fits of continuous giggles. She had changed and her personality was quite alien to me. She did act hyper when she was sober sometimes but not this hyper. She was even especially rude to my aunt who was on the phone to my dad at the time. My aunt had asked to speak with my sister so my dad held out the phone to her but my sister just shouted "I don't want to speak to her, I don't want to speak to her!" whilst giggling like a child. (In the end she did speak to her though but only for a short while before retreating to her bedroom) I have no idea about what my aunt and dad will say to her when she's sober!

My sister's 16. Yes, she is underage but many people I know are all drinking too and they're all my age. But don't worry, i don't drink. I've decided I want to treasure my childhood. I don't want to act grown-up and mature from my own free will, and drinking is something a person who is underaged will do in order to fit in with older people and to also fit in with the 'cool' and 'popular' people. Some people deny this and say that they drink to have fun and to get away from your troubles but i think they should face their troubles like a man and take it full force! >< *haha* It doesn't really add up to me because why can't one just have fun without the drink? In the end, you'll only be making a fool of yourself by puking up all over the place and acting like a complete loon. Also, the alcohol comes with risks to your health and also with the massive hangover you'll have the next day. Your troubles will only grow with alcohol.

My sisters (I have 2 - one's 16 [^] and one's 18) have asked me if i will ever drink when i'm older.

I reply by saying "Yes, but not when i'm underaged".

This then leads my sister to ask the question of "But what are you going to do when your friends are all drinking at a party? You'll be the only one not drinking"

I don't really know how to reply to this but i know what my minds shouting:

'I DON'T CARE IF EVERYONE AROUND ME IS DRINKING! I'M NOT GOING TO DRINK JUST BECAUSE I'LL LOOK LONELY AND STUPID IF I DON'T! THEY CAN'T JUDGE ME BECAUSE THEY'RE IN A MUCH MORE STUPIDER POSITION THAN ME!' <-- whoops, got a bit angry there XP

- Please don't take influence from this picture. This is from a house party my sisters held. Don't worry - most of the alcohol belongs to my sister's friends! ><

Envying Birds...

Today, i went to one of my classmate’s birthday ‘parties’. I felt kind of nervous because (now this may sound really weird, but i’m being deadly serious) i’ve never been to a boy’s house before (but i wasn't going alone, thank goodness!) and i wouldn’t exactly call myself a good friend of his. You may be laughing at what i just said, but i’m only 13 and i wouldn’t exactly call myself ‘popular’. All the popular people in my year are big chavs and are extremely slutty and drink excessive amounts of alcohol. I’m trying to be as pure as i can whilst still having fun, because i want to treasure my childhood.

I wouldn’t of exactly called the ‘party’ a party because we only went round his house for about 5 minutes and then set off to do about 30 mins of shopping (i know - it’s so short!) and then went to eat lunch at a restaurant. Then we went to a park and went walking for a bit, and then home. But anyway, i hardly talk to this boy, but I have gotten him a few birthday and christmas presents because he happens to have the same rare interest as me (which is anime, if you were curious).

Today was fun but i must have looked a bit like a loner because i barely made conversation. Also, at the park, everyone else was all spinning on the round-about-thing and taking silly pictures whilst i was swinging back and forth on a swing and dazily looking up in the sky and busying my thoughts by envying birds. :S Whoops. Now that i think about it, i probably should’ve joined in with them a bit more! haha

The Idiot That I Am!

This made me laugh for soo long -_-

I was having this conversation with a buddy and we were talking about school and how we fail in like every subject.

Friend: Lol wat do you usually get? [In tests]

Me: B's, but that's only on really small, easy topics and the majority of the class get B's as well. I haven't done any 'big' or 'important' tests for a while so i can't really give you any accurate scorings but i recken i would probs get a U if i did the test you did.

Friend: Hmm I see

Me: Is that meant in a good or a bad way? haha

Friend: I meant in a good way

Me: hmm, it sounded as if you were doubting my failure-ness... (if such a word exists :P)

Friend: Well at least i have a buddy who fails with me!

Me: hahaha XP When you go down, you like to bring someone down with you, don't you? Wish i had one too =[ My friends are way too smart for me -_- hehe.

Friend: I hope you realize im talking about you -_-

[END]

Haha, i'm such an idiot!! ><
