Diary Entry #2

First of all, I can say that my diet is going well. I think there has only been two occasions where I have gone past 1,200 calories per day. I have gifted myself with the ability to be able to eat what I want during Christmas time. That's starting tomorrow. I can't wait because I literally get to stop my diet and start on my Simpson's advent calender, all on the same day! That way, when I go for a meal on my birthday I won't have to watch what I eat too.

These days have consisted of blankets, hot chocolates, teddy bears and sleep. It's what usually happens around Christmas time. I don't think I am the only one who does this. It is horrible getting up to go to school on a morning though, I am usually so tired and then I have to go out into the freezing cold wearing a coat which is broken and trying to double up one socks, tops and head gear. I am going to start wearing my gloves, ear muffs and hat though starting from tomorrow.

I am going to mention tomorrow a lot actually but I am going Christmas shopping with my sister. I am not quite sure what to get her or my mum but I am thinking about getting my mum some new slippers or a dressing gown and I will get my sister maybe some new makeup since she always seems to be taking mine. I think that's a good enough reason. It's a good job they don't read my blog as they would now know what I am planning to get them both.

I am even thinking about getting something for my Cat. My Cat must be my prize possession, I would be lost without her. I thought I would get her a little present to say thank you for all of them nights that she has laid on my bed whilst I have been in tears and she has listened to my problems and then offered a hug. I think that is adorable. It is why I love Cat's the most. I must sound insane but I adore how they are so understanding.

Anyway, changing the subject to a lesser matter, I had to participate in my final performance for my speaking and listening in English today. I ranted on about the change from GCSE's to O-levels. I honestly thought I had done rubbish because it sounded more like a formal letter to the prime minister rather than a speech for my English. Turns out, I ended up with an A*! I was over the moon. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my mum and make her proud of me. :P

My sister has moved out as well. Finally. I do sort of miss her though, I get dead lonely in the house on my own. Especially when my mum is working late night shifts like she was yesterday. I feel like there is someone watching over me but I think that's just my mind playing tricks because no one is in the house. The only thing I like about being on my own is the fact that I can sing as loud as I want without anybody hearing me. Unless the neighbors hear me but... Hey ho!

I also went to the doctors the other day about my constant headaches. I normally get really bad headaches about 4-5 times per week and that's not even exaggerating! Since I went to the doctors and he told me to keep a headache diary, it is just typical that I am not getting headaches anymore. I don't see what has changed. My body must be playing up or something. He did switch these pills I have to take though to see if that would work even though I haven't started taking them yet.

I am actually getting annoy right now as I am typing this. I might sound a brat but there are a lot of drunk people in my house and that's one thing I cannot stand. Especially my mum, when she gets drunk she just laughs none stop but it is one of them laughs that is so frustrating. I literally want to tape her mouth shut. I just hope to God that they go by the time I go to bed because they are being really loud and I am exhausted so I am in no mood to loose any more sleep.

Today's observation: I am going to kill someone if they don't shut their mouths.

Looks For Less + Update!

Here's another post. I don't know if me posting every day annoys you or if you prefer it as it gives you something to read but if you would prefer me not to then please comment and tell me. It's so cold in the UK at the moment. Everywhere is flooding too so when I see it on the news, I begin to panick. If I randomly disapear for a while then you know that my house has been flooded. It's awful when walking to school. Right now as I am typing this, it is 2 degrees where I live.

Anyway, I have picked my college options now. I personally think it is the wrong timing with stress for exams and coursework but nevertheless, I have done it. I have even applied. It does have a lot of disadvantages though since I have to go to school when it has finished to check out the different subjects that I have chosen. Tonight, I am even going to school to look at universities opportunities. How fun? -.-

I do like the options I have chosen but at the same time I know that I am going to get stressed out with English Language and History. My other options are Drama and Sociology. It's known to be a good balance as I have a relaxing subject (Drama) as well as the full on ones.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I also can't wait to meet the newbies. I must admit though that I am looking forward to being in half of my lessons with my best friend. That just makes it much more fun and interesting. I think I will love Drama and Sociology the best due to them being laid-back and fun. Although, I don't actually know what Sociology is like. 

It's a good thing that I know all of the staff because I am going to sixth form in my school. I know which History teachers I have got already and that's a good combination, I like both of my Drama teachers and I don't really know about my English. All I know is that I hope that I don't have my current teacher. It just makes like so much easier when you like your teachers. Furthermore, I can't wait to go to college in fancy dress trying to collect money from the students. The list just goes on... I am looking forward to not having to do P.E! I will just take regular walks to keep fit. My best friend is in two of my subjects, English Lang and History. Which I am so glad about since they are the boring subjects. We are going to go crazy! :L

We will just laugh all the way through our lessons and she is really smart which is always a bonus for me. ;)

I just hope we get to listen to music and stuff still. That will be good. 

Moving on, that's enough of school. I got this idea from another blog and thought it was a fun idea so I attempted it. I am going to do three different celebrity 'looks for less'. These are three of my idols. Firstly, Hayley Williams is the singer of Paramore. I think she is unique and quirky. I really like what she wears and particulary her makeup. She is a rock band singer so obviously her style is 'rock'n'roll'. I wish I looked like her. She is so pretty. She keeps it very natural most of the time too. Then there is Selena Gomez whom I think is just so adorable. Lastly, there is Lauren Conrad who always looks good.

Here are the celebrity 'looks for less'. 

1. Hayley's makeup- I really love the makeup here. This would be the makeup to wear if you was heading out to a party. The only negative thing would be that it matches her hair color. It's a fun look to try. I really like how she hasn't over-done her lips too. 

You may not be able to see the writing so I will re-write it...

Maybeline Superstay 24 Dual Ended Lipstick - £8.99

(I can't read the one above that)

Maybeline EyeStudio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow £6.23

Maybeline Lash Blast Mascara £4.32

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish £1.99

2. Selena's outfit- I really love how this outfit is so casual.This is perfect for going out shopping with your friends. I particularly love the heels!

White Button Smocked Hem Fringed Blouse – Forever 21 £11.10

Blue Black Dark Fitted Boot Cute Jeans – Old Navy £12.47

Silver Cut Out Bangle – Forever 21 £3.62

Silver Laser Etched Disc Earrings – Forever 21 £2.37

Silver Polished & Studded Heart Necklace – Forever 21 £3.62

Madden Girl Black Peep Toe Pumps – Zappos.com £31.11

4. Lauren Conrad's outfit- This is my favorite. It's just a shame that it is the most expensive. It looks like Lauren was shopping whilst wearing this. This is my favorite because it is girly. She looks really cute. I like the colour too as it is not exactly white. It just looks classy. I also think that the handbag finished it off. She looks amazing. I just love it all. 

Dress: £27.74 at dELiAs

Sunglasses: Wet Seal, £4.68

Bracelet: £9.34 at Target.

I hope you all enjoyed my 'looks for less'. That's it for now. I have to prepare for the uni talk and eat some Haribo Tangfastics.

School Photo's

Last week in form, I got my school photo back. It is terrible! I am being serious when I say that I look like a stoned chipmunk! The bad part is that I can't get the whole year photo without obtaining the horrid one! The day I got it taken was alright, I didn't have any obligations to why I shouldn't have my picture taken. It's just the fact that the flash of the camera made me automatically shut my eyes! Now they are half closed. -.- What  makes me laugh is when all of the 'popular's' are always complaining about their pictures saying 'my hair is awful!'...'omg look at my smile'... and I just look at them in disgust because I know they have it much better than me. That's one thing that frustrates me. It had to be me.

My year photo was alright. Even though I was at the front (because I am so small, I could be a munchkin). I just think that out of all of the year photo's such as year 7, year 9 and year 11, we should be allowed to choose which one we want. I would definatley choose my year 9 one due to the fact that I have long hair and on the day of the year 7 one, it was really windy so I don't even have to explain what my hair looked like! Anyway, I am not letting my mum buy the photo. I simply refuse. No way. I would rather have a picture of me as a naked baby hung on the wall than that.

I got this idea from Cat - http://cat-throughacatseyes.blogspot.co.uk (check her out, she is awesome)
Sorry to steal it, you can comment if you don't want me to!:)

Today's observation: When watching 'The Chase' on television, if you count the amount of words in the question and then count to that number by going through the answers, you usually (not all the time) get the correct answer. For example, How old am I? A: 15 B: 14 C:13?
The answer is A because you count to four. If that makes any sense.

Stardust

"A glorious fantastical adventure," raves Daily Mirror's Mark Adams for Stardust an epic fairy tale starring Claire Danes with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro. A beautiful girl (Sienna Miller), Tristan (Charlie Cox) promises to bring her a falling star but he is shocked by the adventure of his life when he discovers the star is actually a celestial beauty named Yvaine. When an old witch Lamia (Pfeiffer) attempts to steal Yvaine's youth, Tristan must protect her at all times/ This magical fairy tale like no other will make you laugh out loud and believe in love again.

This movie is a good movie when it comes to action. If you are one of them people who like an action packed film rather than a quiet one, this will be for you. I really like the combination of a love story with action as it is something different and shows two sides of a 'story'. Also, although the movie can be a bit hard to follow the first time you watch it, you soon pick up the story line when you watch it for the second time and try to really understand it.

However, the down fall of this movie would be the fact that, even though the blurb says it will make you 'laugh out loud' I personally don't think this movie would do that. Unless, you are the one of few people who laugh at anything... I would say that it tries to be funny but it really doesn't succeed. The closest to funniest part of the film would be when the captain dresses up as a lady and begins to dance around with a feather boa.

To summarize, the film has many genre's included which makes it suitable for many types of audience. Furthermore, it is not gory and has no sex scene's which makes it suitable for all ages too. Stardust is a fantastic film to watch with the family and has many aspects to create an exciting and eventful atmosphere. This movie would be better off to watch in the cinema but since it is not playing there anymore, I would suggest watching it on a bit screen TV with surround sound to get the best out of the DVD.

Rating: 7/10

R&B

Even though I am one of them people who ALWAYS seem to listen to my rock songs, I do like other music too. For example, R&B. My favorite song has got to be f**k it by Eamon. Seriously! I have been listening to this song over and over again. I love it. It really shows I feel to a certain somebody at the moment. I am sure that most of you have heard of it if you are the same age as me, it was a very popular song when it first come out.

So here it is:)

Love it!

Fishtail Braided Bangs

Firstly, a fish tail braid is a great way to make a statement without having to do much. I did try to braid all of my hair but since it is layered I didn't have good luck with that. So, due to that I decided to use my bangs and do it that way.

If you don't know how to do a fishtail braid, here is a video showing you how you can do it!:

It's pretty simple really!

Here are a couple of photo's showing you the finishing result:

OOTD #3

For this outfit I am wearing a cropped white cardigan, blue tank top, jeans and fluffy socks. I would pair this outfit with some knee high heeled black boots.

I was planning on wearing this outfit to my dads which means I would be casually walking around town wearing it, going in the pub, going shopping etc... To sum up, basically this is a comfy, casual and cute outfit. I would also add a white scarf if the weather was colder than usual (which is normally is in England unfortunately).

For my hair, I straightened it and french twisted my bangs out of my face. I then clipped it in place with a white and light pink flower bobby pin.
As for make-up, due to my outfit and hair being cute and sweet I thought I would have a heavy eyed look. I have black liner lining my lids and lower lashline and then the eyeshadow is a beautiful dark gold which fades as it gets nearer the browbone.I have no cosmetics on my face as I feel as though I don't need them at this moment of time. For my lips, I have nothing on them either because it would be overpowering due to my eye look.
I have no jewelry on (for a change).
My perfume is Mirella - Dreams.

How much and where did you get it?
Cardigan - I can't remember because I got it about 8 years ago...
Tank Top - I think it will have been from Primark but I am not sure because I got it given from my sister. Also, I think it will have been round about £6 but I don't know exactly.
Jeans - Local 'Denim' shop £11 (I think)
Socks - Primark for a pack of two £1.50 (Kiddie's section)

My life #1

I hate school. Well I don't I hate the people in it mostly. It is filled with snobs who do their makeup and backcomb their hair every five minutes... literally!
Another thing which I dislike is the fact that the smart people get ignored and are seen as 'vermin' whereas, the stupid people who claim that they 'can't read' are the top of the school chain.
There are some days where I don't want to go to school just because them kind of people annoy me but then I think of the disadvantages of not going such as loads of catch up.

English is one of my worst subjects at school. It used to be my favorite because my teacher was awesome and the tasks were easy. Nowadays, I have to do three things at once... Comparing poetry with Romeo and Juliet, Exam preparation and a speaking and listening assessment. I don't even like thinking about it. If it was up to me, I would be doing one thing in English and that is sleeping. Additionally, I don't have any friends to sit with in my English. I don't get rude comments from anybody I just get lonely. There is one girl who sits next to me but she only sits there because she likes me to check over her work and correct it. I do feel a bit used for that but at the same time, it gives me someone to talk to.
My teacher is alright. She brings in chocolate sometimes because she knows that all of the English work is taxing and hard work. However, her voice is really annoying. It has a nazel tone and she always says 'okay' in a really strange way.

My favorite subject would have to be History. I think this is just because I am quite good at that. We aren't doing anything interesting, it actually makes the subjects seem much boring than they actually are. For example, I am learning about the 'Swinging Sixties' and I thought that would be great! However, I was proven wrong. There is too much source analysis and comparisons. I use the technique of writing random ideas down and using big vocabulary. This normally works in my defense.

Drama is quite a good subject too. I have my best friend in there with me and we just laugh about anything we can find. On rare occasions, we even get this lad called Daniel to work with us when we have to be in three's. Last lesson, I just spent eating M&Ms. You can see why I like this subject.

It was terrible in I.T. I started crying. In my last post I mentioned my ex breaking up with me. Well basically, he 'dumped' me for another girl. I found out in I.T and I just lost it. I felt like such an idiot. Thank God it was only the two close friends that was sat next to me who noticed. Although, Sir nearly realized but he didn't because this guy called Connar shooed him away. I am known at school for my crying because I have had a lot of bullying issues and family issues in my time. Student Services have left me alone about that now.

My mum finally got a job! Horaay! I am really happy for her. She has been wanting a job for ages now. It is in a pub but at least she has got one. It gets her out of the house (she is on of them people who hates sitting around all day). It has been quite difficult for her since she wasn't that great in school but I really do appreciate the hard work and effort which she puts into everything. I love coming home and seeing my mum. Most teenagers hate their parents but when it comes to my mum, I adore her. When she smiles it always perks up my afternoons after school. It may sound cheesy but... hey ho!

I was walking home today and I nearly got run over! I guess it was my own fault because I was texting Bex about her near death experience (how ironic?) and I walked past a car park. I didn't know at the time that a car was pulling out. Although, I do think they wanted to run me over at the same time. This is probobaly due to the teenage stereotype. They don't know that I am one of the few people who are actually not disrespectful to this society.

Update on life!

Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear, 'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

Where can I turn? 'Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure
Tell me why I feel so alone 
'Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
Will you be there to help me through?

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
How?

How I've lost my power?

Life has been average recently. I am having an over-flow of emotions one day and the next I am calm and can manage to crack a smile when I see an old couple acting adorable. I am usually quite an up-beat person... What has changed me is my latest break up. I can't really complain though because I should of seen it coming. Anyway, that's enough on that.

To explain the song, basically, it is how I feel right now. Confused. 

I must admit that I have wondered if the type of music I listen to is one of the things that is affecting my mood but then I just put family guy on. 

I listen to music ALL the time. On the bus, to the shops, at home, at my dads, whilst i'm blogging... 

My favorite bands are Paramore, My Chemical Romance, The Pretty Reckless and Sleeping With Sirens. I will list my favorite songs at the moment by them individual bands.

Paramore = Rewind

My Chemical Romance = Party Poison

The Pretty Reckless = Hit Me Like A Man

Sleeping With Sirens = All My Heart

Other songs which I have been madly listening to over and over again include; All That I am by Roxanne Emery; Bite My Tongue by You Me At Six & Oli Sykes; Bring Me To Life By Evanescence; Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low; Mountains by Biffy Clyro; Photograph by Nickelback; Porcelain Doll by Megan McCauley; Stay Awhile by Quincy Ft. Kendre; So In Love With You by Jessica Reedy; The Few That Remain by Set Your Goals; The Last Song I'm Wasting On You by Evanescence; Ugly Side by Blue October; We Are Young by FUN; Hard by Will.I.Am, Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger and last but not least, Zombie by The Cranberries.

Full of ideas!

Yesterday, as I was sat at my laptop writing my post 'Shuffleboard' I began to think... (OH NO NOT AGAIN!)

I was wondering if I should start a new blog which will just be for music? I will move my shuffleboards over there, have random moments of video sharing, talk about bands that I am enjoying etc...

What do you think? (Comment Below)

or

Maybe you would like me to make a new blog featuring a 'diary' of my life. For example, (depending what type of day I have had) if it has been interesting enough, I write a post about what has happened at the weekend or during the week or at school?

What do you think? (Comment Below)

or

Maybe you would like me to do both? Who knows?

Tell me in the comments if you would like me to do any of these ideas or if you have a suggestion for a new blog where you would like me to write about other subjects that you are interested in.

Shuffleboard #7

Shuffleboard is where I will be listing the first 10 songs which appear on my phone when I set it on... Shuffle!

1.  Paramore - Monster

Just for warning- This post is going to be overloaded with Rock music because that is all I have been listening to lately. 
I love this song. Even my ex liked this song and he hates Paramore! I must admit that the only reason he did was because this song is featured on transformers or something?

2. Paramore - Looking Up

Everyone seems to think that rock music is people singing about how 'crap' their lives are. This is not the case for this song. I like it because it has upbeat lyrics and a catchy tune.

3. The Pretty Reckless - Light Me Up

Who would think that the singer of this band... is the little girl who played Cindy Lu in The Grinch? I know, I was shocked as well.

4. My Chemical Romance - Desert Song

This song is weird. However, that's the reason why I love it so much.

5.  Paramore - Rewind

Not the best vocals but a great song.

6. Paramore - Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)

This is one of them songs which takes a few replays to actually get a liking. However, once you are used to it, it really is an awesome song.

7. Evanescence - The Last Song I'm Wasting On You

You will only like this song if you are one of them people who are actually into sad songs like me. If you need a cry - this is the song to listen to.

8. Paramore - All I wanted

Sorry that this post is overloaded with Paramore songs. The reason for this is the fact that I have every single Paramore song ever made on my phone.

9. Paramore - The Only Exception

This song is one that is actually not really a rock song! I would say this would suite any type of person no matter what your music style is.

10. All Time Low - Dear Maria, Count Me In 

A magnificent song. Very catchy. Very Upbeat. Very rock and roll. Reminds me of the old times! That's all I can really say about this.

Charities

Charities are awesome. Many people think they are worthless/useless due to it being a second hand shop. In reality, you can find rare vintage pieces from them which can either spice up your home OR your wardrobe. Don't be worried that someone has died in the clothes because their is a 15% chance that it won't be that scenario. Some people just get tired of their clothes, their wardrobe is getting too full or they might even be getting too old to be wearing 'skimpy' outfits which is why they have sent them to the local charity shop. It is just like giving the clothes you have grown out of to your sister/brother/cousins. Don't underestimate the power of charity.

The best part of this is the fact that all of the money that is made goes to a worthy cause. When buying any item, you are contributing to making a persons or animals live much better.

Charity shops are not only for clothes. Many books and DVD's can be found as well as ornaments and accessories. It is a perfect place to go when you are roaming around town with nothing to do.

On an unrelated note, here is some pictures of shoes which I really like. A bit random I know... but hey ho!

I am going to finish this post by saying that one man's garbage is another man's treasure. So embrace it!

Teenagers - My Chemical Romance

We all love a bit of rebel music. You must admit.
That is why I love this song particularly. It is great to sing a long to and I don't know if it is just me but I feel in control when I do belt out to this tune! I will say that it does make Teenager's seem like really bad people even though 55% of us aren't bad at all and we don't go vandalising everything!
This song would be great to sing with your friends in the bus station when there are old people sitting about minding their own business (no offence to anyone!)

Here it is :)

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Lyrics:
They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
