True Blood: Alexender Skarsgard.

Last summer my brothers girlfriend; Sian brought me the first three books of the "Sookie Stackhouse collection". I feel in love with them, I now have the whole collection and can't wait until the next one to be realised; in may. I watched the first season on FX, last year. And ever since I've been in love with the show also. My lovely mum brought me the first season on DVD, for christmas; I watch it all the time.
The story line is so amazing, and creative. I hope to be as successful. Trueblood is one of my many inspirations to do what I love.

Luckily for me season two started finally on friday, I'm gutted I have to wait to watch the next episode though. Personally my favourite character is Eric Northman, He's gorgeous!. I love him in both the books and the programme.
Alexender Skarsgard, he even has a beautiful name!. I would do anything to meet this man, I think he's charming and handsome. I would marry him.

Watch this.  -Drools-.

Anyone who disagrees must me completely insane.

Weekends.

I've had a lovely weekend.
My mum and I went shopping, which was surprisingly nice.
Then I got together with some friends, who are more like family to me.
However now it's sunday, I don't tend to enjoy sundays, no matter how much fun I'm having because I  know tomorrow I'll be back into my boring routine at school. Also I'm not going to be doing anything that interesting today as I have four exams this week. The joy of school.

I have just baked Tea bread and Brownies with my lovely mum though.
I do love her.

Wednesday, what a day.

I've been worrying about today for weeks.

Today was my DTP booster injection, I'm not exactly keen on needles so I've been worried for sometime.

However luckily for me it didn't hurt!, I was amazed + very thankful.
My sister and I were stressing over it, minutes before we went into the hall. There were people crowded in a corner who had already had the injection; some of the faces in the crowd didn't exactly look comforting. I tried my hardest to calm myself, but my stomach was twisting making me feel very sick indeed. Before I knew it I was sat in the seat being asked loads of questions...
"Have you eaten today?" etc.

And then it was over. In and out - hardly felt a thing.

Couldn't believe I'd spent so long stressing over basically nothing.

I'm not seeing my beloved tonight so I'm going to have relaxing evening.

Eat my pasta, wash and straighten my hair - Which btw I've had cut!, it's pretty short aswell.

Revise; french, maths and science - not too relaxing but I'll drink lots of tea, so I'll be happy. 

Then watch Desperate Housewives, I love that show with a passion.

(How beautiful, another of my brothers photos.)

Thanks for reading.

Thoughts.

Today during English I got slightly side-tracked, I don't usually do this in English; I try to centre all my attention towards my work. However today was unusual. We're studing for our exam, which I need to focus on, but the snow was simply mind filling. I sat watching little flakes fall to melt.
I was thinking about how this term was going to be different, all my work was going to be done and in on time. That I'll start saving money. Spend time with family and friends. Blog more about interesting topics. And so on.
I'm slightly nervous though, I know I won't be able to do all the things I would like which will make me annoyed with myself and I'll take it out on those I love so, but I've come up with a plan.
I'm going to write a list of this I would like to do, and take little steps to reach my goals.

1. Do all my coursework + extra work basically as soon as I get it, so I don't leave it til the last minute.
2. Drink 6 glasses of water a day, to stay heathly.
3. Save money.
4. Help around the house.
5. Visit those I haven't seen in a while.
6. Complete my first novel.

I'll add more as I reach each goal, I don't want to have too many so I forget about some etc.

Growing.

Everyone grows up at some point in their lives.
This was me be before my third birthday.

(Sorry about the bad quailty.)

This picture proves I've grow up.

I had a small nose, small lips, chunky cheeks and small ears. Honestly I think I was adorable.

And I had curly ginger hair which I love.

This is a picture of me now.

I no longer have my curly ginger hair. I straighten my hair and dye it.
I've never been too fond of short hair on myself but recently I gave up with trying growing it long, it takes too long and is too much effort to straighten. My short is everything I want, it has layers which makes it bounce. I have a fringe, which I absolutely adore, even if it can be annoying.
I dye my hair because it's naturally a dull ginger, not that gorgeous bright orange I would have liked so instead I dye it many different browns. I've had blondes, partly red and pink but I perfer just brown.
In the picture above my hair has gotten a bit too long for my liking so soon it'll be shorter.

Also compared to my younger picture I no long have those cute little features. However I don't exactly have chunky cheeks anymore which is always a bonus.

Though I'm rather pleased with the change in myself, their are still numerous things I would like to improve further. I'll save those for another blog though as my lovely boyfriend has just arrived.
Thanks to all you  wonderful readers.

Smile.

Everyone in the world smiles, that fact makes me happy.
I enjoy making others happy. I don't like sad, miserable people.
Smiling makes a person look happy, pretty and likable.

So here a number of things that make me smile.

My boyfriend.

My sister.

 My mum.

Reading.

Summer.

My friends.

Tea.

Fashion.

What makes you happy?

Happiness.

People are forever making mistakes, that they'll suffer from, or others will suffer from.
It's our way of life; chosing to do something we know is wrong.
The human race is not perfect.
People may seem better than others, but they are not. Everyone is equal and should be able to have their voices heard.
Some people are popluar, but that doesn't mean they're good people.
Some people are skinny, others are not, doesn't matter which you are, everyone deserves a chance to be happy.
Be confident in who you are, be proud to be who you are.

Owl City.

My beautiful sister and I went to see Owl City & The Lights.

Honestly they were amazing.

Parents arguing in the car, drinking coke, folk music. cracking jokes.

It was a lovely evening.

Apart from some boy getting a tad to close for my liking.

But Thanks Kate.

Last Day.

Last Day.

Oh what a shame, what a shame.

The week of relaxing is almost over, back to school tomorrow.

But honestly, I didn't get round to doing much relaxing. Though I haven't been at school, it's all I could think about.

I didn't finish all the coursework I should have.

I didn't see all the people I promised to see.

Today instead of doing coursework, I'm actually going to take some time to relax. Though I know the day will end too quickly for my liking.

Yet again.

Writing is something I enjoy most in my life, along with reading. Nevertheless it's all i seem to be doing lately.
I want to go out with friends, have a good time but unfortunately I can't.
I have my creaive writing to finish, I'm spending a great amount of time on this piece as I would like to get an A/A* but it's harder than it seems.
Then I have another piece of english coursework to finish, which I really don't feel like doing.
& don't get me started on my art coursework, which might I add I haven't even started! - where does all this time go.
I need time to relax, I want this awful snow to disappear! - I want sunshine, and a lot of it. So I can sit in the warmth under a tree and finish my book.
But you don't always get what you want.
Instead i'm stuck inside, on my laptop doing rubbish coursework. Can anyone see the fun in that?
& Oh I forgot. I have to go out in the cold tonight.

So much, too much.

This half term was meant to be relaxing, to let my hair down, see friends, read books.
However all I can think about is the coursework thats unfinished, if I don't complete it soon It'll completely slip my mind, then I'll be in deep trouble.
There is so much to be done.

Saturday.

Recently I've been taking my camera everywhere. And yesterday I went out for the day and saw such beautiful sights I was almost sad I couldn't capture them in a picture.
But yesterday was not a day to be sad, so I'm going to take you through the things I did.

My lovely boyfriend had invited me out for a surprise - and as he already knows I hate surprises, so I wasn't as excited as I should've been. But he'd planned the day perfectly to make me happy.
As he's not driving currently - taking lessons - I was told we'd be taking three or four buses to reach our destination, I wasn't too keen on this as I don't exactly enjoy bus journeys. However he'd actually planned for us to take a taxi, which might I add was deeply exspensive. I still hadn't the faintest idea of where he was taking me.
After we'd left the taxi and started walking hand in hand, he told me what we'd be doing first.
And off we went to book our tickets for 'Ponyo' - this is when I started to get excited. He payed extra for VIP seats, which made me smile. However we had some time to kill so he took me to the arcade, as he knows I love arcades, though they waste money.

We played 'air hockey', unfortunately for me he's amazing therefore he won; 7:3.

As he knows I perfer dance machines, he even gave me game. I love dance machines though I'm not very good. Nevertheless I was good enough to beat him; 2:1.

Even after spending half hour in the arcade we had time to spare. He suggested we have something to eat - he didn't want me getting hungry. We went to a small cafe called Jenny's which was delightful. we order tea, coke and chips  - that we topped of with roughly half a bottle off ketchup It was yummy, I must admitt.

Back at the cinema he brought us a fanta frozen and toffee crisp popcorn, we were all set.

Ponyo.

If anyone has the chance to watch this film I would take it.

Ponyo is one of many of the Studio Ghibli films, and as myself and Zach collect these films, Ponyo was another amazing film for us. I was so pleased.

Once the film was over I turned to Zach and hugged him as tight as I could, he truly knows how to make me happy.

But this wasn't the end of his surprise. However he got slightly lost trying to find his next one.

He payed for another taxi to take us to a certain road but we still couldn't find this place, in the end he asked someone and it was right up the road from where we were.

He'd booked us a place at PizzaExpress, I'd never been so I was even more excited now.

Zach happily ordered the meaty selection:

Drink: Sicilian lemonade.

Starter: Antipasto Platter.

Main: Calabrese pizza.

Dessert: Caffe Gelato

Ender: Cuppa tea.

However I chose the much more simple yet delightful plates:

Drink: Appletiser

Starter: Baked dough balls with garlic butter.

Main: Margherita pizza. 

Dessert: Cheesecake with ice cream.

Ender: Cuppa tea.

Overall I had lovely day, I'm very thankful.

& I truly love him.

Art.

Friends.

There are numberous of amazing things in this world.

One of those things are;

 Friends.

Where would anyone of us be without our friends.

Friends are one of the most important pieces to life& happiness. I personally couldn't picture my life without my friends. Life would never be the same without them.

Without your friends who would tell you;

Your bum looks big,

Your beautiful,

Your makeups smudged,

- Or all those things friends tell you.

I'm glad to have the great bunch of friends i do.

They're all amazing, i wouldn't know what to do without them, they've helped me through a lot.

i love them.

My best friend.

My beautiful Boyfriend.

My best friend.

A bunch of us (L).

How truly beautiful.

Recently I was forced into watching Avatar.
I moaned & moaned, but that evidentlly got me no where.

But I'm thankful now.
Avatar was a truly beautiful film.
    The story was inspiring, creative and epic.

Wouldn't it be amazing to be one of 'The People'?
I'd watch it over&over.

I've been thinking.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
    but by the moments that take our breath away."

Today i've been doing some thinking.
I tend to be moody in the winter.
  I hate the cold, the wind, the clouds and the rain. Even thinking about them makes me shiver.
I absolutely love the summer. - It simple makes me happy.
The warm air, the slight breeze, the blazing sun.
Summer makes me smile. I want the long lasting days to return.
I miss the long walks, camping, exploring somewhere new - You can't do those things in winter.

I want to move somewhere sunny.
My perfect day would be:
Laying on a blanket on a grassy plain in a forest, with the sun shining down on me. With a glass of iced tea. Wasting the day and night away with my closest friends,
What'd you perfect day be?

Skins.

Season four is finally here.

Skins makes me smile.

The characters are amazing. The story lines amazing.

Personally my favourite series were the first&second.

I adore Chris, He's actually the best character.

Thursday's episode touched me.

I was shocked and upset - The story line is really creative, that's why i enjoy it so much.

It shows how complex and complicated reality really is.

The cast has been completely changed. Each character is completely different.

They have a lot to work with:

 narcissism, dysfunctional families, personality disorders, substance abuse, sexuality, teenage pregnancy, disability, and death.

Each episode is unique, I've enjoyed each and everyone.

I've started writing my first novel,  it's something I enjoy. One day i would love to be known for my stories, for people to read them and think - "wow".
I want to do something with my life, and i now know what that it.

Saturday's are beautiful, nothing like waking up in the morning and realising it's saturday.
Unfortunately i have a lot to do today.
Jogging later, need to get fit.
English coursework - which is actually interesting at the moment, writing a horror story.

Hope everyone has a lovely day.
