Wow, I haven't written in ages!

So, I've been busy trying to find university courses, doing school work, procrastinating and other things and so have either forgotten or just not had inspiration write a blog! Sorry. 

I'll just do a little summary of things I have been doing:

  • I found the university that I REALLY want to go to, I love it! It's really nice and small, cosy, everyone knows each other. It's just generally lovely and the courses there sound really good too. So yeah, I'm really hoping to go there now. 
  • I made a cake shaped like a banana... but tastes like chocolate. If you read my blogs from aaaaages ago you'd probably get the Colin reference - it was for Dan's 18th! It was pretty good! Nice and tasty too. Well I was pleased with it anyway, as was Dan and everyone else who ate it. 
  • I also made a cake that looks like the YouTube logo for my YouTube freak of a friend, Maddy. I also made her a massive card and got lots of people to write messages and we made her a video with birthday messages etc too. Needless to say she loved it all! What made it even better was that I got one of her favourite YouTubers to record a little birthday message for me to put on there too! 
  • At the end of term, practically everyone was ill. Everyone was passing on colds and sore throats. I think I was one of the first to have it but man did my throat hurt! Never had one so bad. Although, honey tea saved the day! It is literally liquid magic - cures any sinus type stuff - remember that one! Probably the most useful thing I'll ever say. 
  • I've been looking after my 'little' pupsicle. Yes, that cute thing that I wrote about back in July... or June... I can't remember! Yeah well now it looks like Ella has eaten the 'little' pupsicle we once had! But nevertheless... I love her! She's the best thing ever - even when she does bite my bum! 
  • Ok, this one may sound a bit geeky. But... my brother let me play Minecraft and I've gotten in to it quite a bit, it is really good! At first the sound of the zombies and the spiders freaked me out so much so I put it on peaceful but now I have manned up and play it on easy atm... I'm working myself up! Only thing it... I HATE creepers... they blew me up when I was on my way home and I lost all my good stuff! Sucks! I want to get myself some wolves but I haven't been able to find them since I started one of my games but at that point I had no bones :/ ah well! I don't know anyone who plays it... I'm sure some do but I just don't know about them! 
Here are the pictures of the 2 cakes I said about:


Thanks for reading!

It's that feeling again!

Yes, back to school again tomorrow, after such a lovely holiday! Luckily it is only 3 days this week, otherwise I'm not sure if I would be able to survive! 

I think I should just repost this blog I wrote at the end of last half term, as the basic idea of the feeling is there again but it won't be so bad as it shouldn't be dark when I wake up at HALF 6 tomorrow... or attempt to should I say!! But at least we are starting back on a Tuesday, otherwise I would have French for 100 minutes after school... then I may have killed myself! Well, not quite literally.

Can't I have another 2 weeks holiday? Pretty please with a cherry on top... and chocolate sprinkles, and ice cream, and... you know the rest!!

...

No? I can't see what would be wrong with that, it's more fun being off of school! Although I don't get to see my friends as much... but I could see them outside of school if I had more time off! 

Still no? Damn it!!

Happy Easter

This morning I did set my alarm for 10, as usual in the holidays, but I fell back to sleep again and wasn't woken until 12:10 by Zoe and Beth! Ooops...

After I had scrambled egg on toast and a yoghurt for 'brunch', Graham got all 3 of us to sit in my room while he hid all of the clues for the Easter egg hunt! And then we began...

He was right that it would be harder this year, and we did need some help with a few of the clues! He did anagrams, word searches, riddles and even put a clue on twitter, which was really funny! At the end of the hunt we found the eggs in the tumble dryer!

Mum and Graham went out for a walk so Zoe, Beth and I decided to make more Easter eggs hunts. They went of and started making one for me and I made one for them! I made them 14 clues and by that time they had done 3... and watched a film!

I did them a variety of clues too, including a puzzle, anagrams, mirror image, rhymes and wrote the blog post which is below (if you're wondering... it was inside a stuffed dog that has a zippy pocket) and I had them going that it was nearly the end as I wrote last one and various other stuff about it being the final clue. Fooled them :) I hid Zoe's egg in the oven and Beth's creme eggs in the cupboard next to the oven!

A little while later it was time for my Easter egg hunt, which consisted of 4 clues - haha! The first one was a quote from Celebrity Juice which said 'If I don't see you for a week, I'll see you through the ______' (answer is window).

On the bathroom mirror the clue said something like: it's hot and produces steam' - it was the kettle.

Underneath the kettle there was a clue, which said 'Where do you check for news and look at 'walls'?' - The answer was facebook so I went online to check for my clue and I found this:

Do the following! Write this out; Then follow from door:
3F + turn LEFT + 14F + 90*L + 9F + 90*R + 2 F + 90* R + 5F + 90*R + 2F + 90* L + 5F + 90*R + 14F + 90*R + 11F + 90*L + 5F + 90* L + 10F + 90*R + 1F + 90* L + 2F + 180* + 2F + 90*R + 1F + 90*L + 9F + 90*L + 8F + 90*R + Look around!

It was pay back for me messing them around with telling them it was the last one! I did one of these clues for them, but not this long, and I wasn't as mean! This route took me out of my bedroom door, upstairs, downstairs, outside, then back inside! Despite the fact that they had got L and R mixed up twice I did find the egg in the kitchen under the table in the end!

It was good fun, although like the child I am I would love to just search for chocolate eggs all day! But I don't think anyone will want to make any more clues haha!! They are all clued out, clueless!

Happy Easter everyone!!

Another GREAT Day!

Today turned out to be another great day! It started off with a nice pain au chocolate and a drink in a cafe with a friend, Moritz, who had come over from Germany for a little holiday! It was lovely, the breakfast was lovely, we had a really nice chat and then after we went to the beach and sat and played games involving throwing stones at rock towers! It sounds a bit stupid, but the simple things are sometimes the best!

After I saw Moritz I went home and it was just really nice sitting at the patio table in the sun! I even did some of my biology poster too! At least I could be outside and still do it. It was such a lovely day I wasn't going to waste it inside! 

After a while Zoe and he friend, Beth, came home and we sat in the garden just chatting about random things, such as Beth having a cod eye! ;)

And then this evening there was of course Britain's Got Talent, which I watched along with a nice bowl of popcorn and hot chocolate BUT Zoe and Beth came in my room to get the airbed and Zoe was chucking cushions at the back of my head, so I ignored her! Then... she goes and throws a quilt at me which goes over my head and into my bowl of popcorn, which STILL had stuff in! This obviously caused my popcorn to fly in various direction over the room... :( she said 'I knew that's what would happen, that's why I did it!' - Oe!! You meany... what a bitch ;) only joking... love you really! It is quite funny thinking about it now! 

Anyway, this is a list of a few of my favourites from Britain's Got Talent (click the names for links to YouTube):
  • Ted and Grace - So cute, the girl was a good singer too but the Grandad just made me laugh, he was adorable! 
  • Les Gibson, who impersonated Ant and Dec - So funny because his Dec impression was soooo gay! Doesn't beat Paul Burling from last year though though!
  • Pip and her little dog! - This one, aww!! The woman was such a good singer. At first I thought the dog would dance but then it started singing along too, which was soooooo cute! Loved it! 
  • Edward Reid - I just thought that it was so original and I loved it! At first I didn't realise he was singing nursery rhymes. It did take me a minute to realise. Very clever!
  • The matrix bodypoping dude - if you watched it then you know the one I'm on about! The Romanian guy! He was so original and he was basically crying at the end so I could see how much it meant to him! Bless!

Good Friday... yes it was!

I had a very unexpected lovely day today, as I wasn't really expecting to do very much! I woke up this morning and went into the kitchen to have my breakfast, and I saw that Graham was making some sandwiches... nothing really clicked at this point as I had just woken up! 

Then I saw him packing it into a cool bag and putting an ice pack in... I was then a little confused where he/we were going! I went into my sister's room and curled up in her bed (I was a bit cold) and asked her if we were going out... apparently we were going to a place with a castle and field! Thanks Zoe, very specific! 

I went and got dressed and Zoe moaned that they always end up waiting for me... when it fact it is because they don't tell me that we are going out until we are literally just going out! Anyway, there was no need for me to get dressed at that point as my mum had fallen back to sleep so we didn't go fro at least another hour! 

Once she was up and ready we all got into the car and we ended up in a place called White Horse Wood Country Park, which is somewhere near/inn Detling. We then went and sat at a bend, while we ate our lunch... of course I was the last person sitting there eating - as always! 

And here is a nice picture of my mum that Zoe took, with me looking special as ever!



After this we dumped our stuff in the car and went for a very short walk to the ruins of Thurnham Castle, where there was a big stone wall, some sheep, a big hill and some silly middle aged men with toy helicopters (complete with a helipad) who were constantly crashing into a bush when they could have used the massive field near the car park where they came from! Silly people! 


We went up the big hill to see if there were more ruins... there weren't but the views were quite nice!
 We were expecting there to be more ruins but... I suppose they are called ruins so there isn't going to be much of them! We then went round the other path way to find the iron age settlement, or something like that... there wasn't really anything much to be honest! But it didn't matter because it was a nice walk and it was sunny! 

After that we went to a pub in Chilham to have something to drink, which was lovely and then we went back home to the beach and sat there eating an ice cream! Lovely! And I got to dip my toes in the sea for the first time this year - such a good feeling!

Mum and Graham have now gone out to see their friends and Zoe has gone to her friend's house. James and Joely were going to go out to see my Nan and Grandad to give them something so I decided to go with them rather than being left all alone at home! It was really nice going there and it ended the day quite nicely!

So yes, it was a very good Friday! Thanks Jesus!

The Wonderful World of Sims

Half term started last Friday.. thank God! So I have taken the opportunity to have a play on Sims 3 because I haven't been on it for a while. I have had Sims 3 Ambitions for a while now and it is really good! I quite like fire fighting on there because it is probably one of the most exciting jobs on there as you literally have to go to the houses to put out the fires.
 
Last week my sister got the Sims 3 Late Night expansion pack and on that you can become a celebrity, go to night clubs and bars, live in apartments and become a vampire etc. My sister let me on this on Saturday and Sunday evening and I think it is really good! I decided that I would become a celebrity because every time I went into a night club they wouldn't let me in the VIP section... not cool! I started off the easy way... with the use of come cheats that made friends for me. Once I have done this a few times I was then friends with some celebrities and had level 4 celeb rating (it is out of 5). 

Anyway, being a cleebrity has some great perks! I got into all the clubs, and I get lots of discounts (£4000 in the book store where I spent £9000... not bad I'd say) but I did get falsely accused of peeing in public which was quite amusing but it's all good because I sued them for that - job done! I did get publicly disgraced for 'woohooing' in a public elevator! Cheeky I know but my lifetime wish on there was the 'woohoo' in 5 different places with 5 different sims.

Actually there was this vampire guy who started flirting and I went with this other guy and the vampire got so angry and then blew up or something and turned to ash! I was thinking 'what the hell, the vampire is a little pile of ash.' The grim reaper came fore him but decided to give him a second chance! This vampire guy went from hating me to being my best friend - which was a bit weird. 

Anyway! Today I went back on Ambitions for a bit! I decided to set my woman up to do lots of inventing! After catching herself on fire at least 3 times (picture below) she managed to invent a time machine!! This is something which I think would be pretty cool to have in real life. I could do so much with it. I told my friend Amy that I would create one some day and then we could go back in time... hmm!
Anyway with the time machine it came up with an option saying 'try for a baby in the past' so I thought 'yes, that sounds like fun.' They came out of the time machine and started having a chat and then a minute later this ginger teenager named Randell (I didn't name him) wearing a knight's costume comes out moaning about being left in a cave! It turns out this is my son haha! He immediately started cooking hot dogs and started a fire... silly fool! So I decided to se what happens if you literally make them eat ALL the time so I made lots of hot dogs and he ate them all! He became fat... but it's ok I will make him thin again because I bought a tredmill - yay! 
We'll have to see how these lives turn out...
