First of all...Happy 18th Birthday Bethany!

So the reason why I didn't post yesterday was because I was having a mini welsh adventure! Basically I woke up at six, travelled to Swansea on a train went swimming with my boyfriend and then got two trains home :) It was a very good day, I've never been to Swansea before so it was great to have a look round at the city and go swimming with Alex for the first time since forever :) It was funny 'cause everyone booed when the waves stopped and Alex got me to go on two slides...Which wasn't quite so funny lol. Now I'm going to be honest I've always been afraid of water slides just because of the sheer speed and because I'm pretty much a pussy. So it was terrifying but it was exciting at the same time y'know? The second slide was the best mainly because I didn't hit myself in the face with my elbow, I mean how do you even do that? Oh dear. So anyway it was a good day.

Today I woke up early again about seven and went downstairs to decorate Bethany's cake. We made her a Diet Coke can cake because she's always drinking it. I gave her this amazing card full of private little jokes which she claimed was her favourite (yay) and two t-shirts from the threadless site, a little marmite jar keyring and some percy pigs. She had three of her friends round today who were really nice and we all played on the Hannah Montana wii game haha.

She's now gone to Pizza Hut and the gim and after a quick nap and reading a bit of my Kiss of Life book I have now decided to come on here.

All in all two brilliant days :) x

27/07/09

One month.

Four weeks.

Twenty eight days.

Six hundred and seventy two hours.

I'm scared. But I want to know already. My GCSE exam results will be released in exactly one month from today. I can't even remember how I was feeling after each exam now, I just pray to God I passed everything. And even if I do pass everything, I'm still going to be dissapointed if I get a C, that will be as bad as a fail for me.

Today I have done nothing productive at all. I have sat at home on a laptop and watched my sister play on the playstation. Tomorrow we start work on our cake which shall be fun and I am very excited about. 

So now its just a normal Monday night sitting around waiting for nine o'clock when me and my  mum shall sit down together and watch a modelling programme and bitch about all of the contestants whilst pigging out on icecream.

Talk tomorrow.

25/07/09

Two decisions were made today that made me very happy.

The first was that my mother, my sister and I are going to enter the threadcakes competition that entails making a cake based on a t-shirt design from the threadless website. You can see entries here: http://www.threadcakes.com/gallery/  . They're all outstanding so of course we have no hope of winning but we thought it would be a nice project for us to work on together and I can't wait to get started :D

The second you ask? Well I'm going to be taking an adventure down to Swansea and back myself on the train to see my boyfriend and go swimming :) I've never travelled by train by myself so I'm a little nervous but also very excited. There's on change over on the way back so I just hope to God that I don't catch the wrong train and end up in some weird remote little town haha. 

Tomorrow I might be going swimming with Meg which should be fun, but we also need to get started with our cake. At the moment I am sitting watching Bethany play on Crash Bandicoot, I'd forgotted how lame the graphics were haha but its still and amazing game :P Not that I can play it I just watch lol. Well I best be off, Sunday roast in a bit.

Baiiii! x

Some photos from Ye Olde Country Fayre...

Some failure there.

Yuh...my family's strange :D

Four eyes!

25/07/09

I mean seriously, I thought I knew the extremeties of the farmering world. But oh no, I was very much mistaken.
Today I attended a steam engine country fair. Basically a massive field full of gypsies and farmers displaying the caravans, tractors, and old victorian steam engines with a big wheel smack bang in the middle of all the fun-filled action... Now don't get me wrong I quite enjoyed my time there today but in all honesty it was more to do with spending time with my family than listening to an old yokel telling me about a steam engined truck called Rusty Balls :S The highlight of it all was going on the big wheel with Bethany and being stuck up the top on this ancient mechanism that I swear was going to fall apart any moment.
So now I'm home eating a bit of Half Baked icecream after having a nice chat with my boyfriend who is currently living it up in Swansea on holiday. I don't really know what my plans are for tomorrow except for the massive lie in I shall be having after having a nightmare last night and not being able to sleep at five o'clock in the morning -.- I need to sort out swimming arrangements with Meggle for our get buff routine haha :)
Hm guess I'll just carry on internetting then. Tara lovelies x

24/07/09

Its bloody boiling in this room...

So today I woke up late and answered the door to Beth in just a t-shirt and pants (not a good look) we did the usual hellos and how's your summer been before I got dressed and we decided to invite Sarah over. We then did a bit of painting, usually I'm all for the whole get creative thing but today I just wasn't really bothered; so I just sang along to Miley and watched my sister make rice crispy cakes. We then all had lunch and watched Princess Diaries too, so as you can tell not a very eventful day.

Earlier on I watched another film with Anne Hathaway called Passengers which was kinda weird. It creeped me out a bit. It took a long time to get going but the ending was pretty good. And now I have just finished watching a programme about two girls (one seventeen and one thirteen) who were considering getting boob jobs. That was pretty interesting actually, the injection thing they talked about sounded pretty good but I bet it costs a bomb and probably has quite a few side effects. Hm.

So I just revamped the blog a bit hope ya like it. So yeah that's about it for today, night :) x

P.S Can't wait 'til August 14th when The Time Traveller's Wife comes out in the cinema! Eee!

Or maybe she does.. :(

Hm, been a while.

Hey, sorry I kinda deserted you for a while lovely little blog. Been very busy with exams and organising things for leaving school. So far I have done 12 out of 14 papers to be sat. The last two to do are my chemistry papers, which i totally suck at. I mean seriously, why do i need to know about giant covalent structures anyway, I mean seriously -.- It also doesn't help that Sarah is AMAZING and I suck so yeah, but good on her :)

Today was alright, I had fun at Beth's house with Lauren, Jess and Sarah. We all stopped off at Jess' house to see her prom dress and then saw Beth's at hers. And we made like all the angel delight flavours up and layered them ontop of each other with whipped cream, hundreds and thousands, chocolate buttons and marshmellows which believe me was really tasty, despite how gross it looked. We also made pasta cabonara bake which was also yummy. Anyway enough about food.

I have The Sims 3 now and i absolutely love it, i'm so addicted haha :P

I actually can't wait until prom but I am rather nervous about my dress' train and having to wear killer heals. Not good. My foot eye coordination is not great I'm afraid haha :)

Nevermind, speak later baiii x

I LOVE YOU POKEMON MASTERRR :P

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

So yesterday was the day we were filming our trailer for our Media GCSE. I'm not sure if i've mentioned it...but basically its about three girls who are left when all the rest of the world have turned into the typical horror movie zombies. Its called Three's A Crowd and I was in charge of makeup. So we all arrived at school at 9am and I began transforming friend Sarah into a zombie. I was totally kitted out; I had made my own fake blood and fake flesh for cuts and bubbling skin etc. To be honest, they looked pretty gross. Anyway, it was a fun day we did all sorts of shots: eyes in cupboards, bloody legs running, humans being torn to peices by zombies. It was quite hilarious. Once we've finished edditing I shall post the trailer and the photos we took of the day :)

Today is Mother's Day and my sister and I bought Mum a bunch of flowers and a book. Nan and Grandad came round aswell as Jess to do homework. Our courseworks due for the Monday after tomorrow and I brought French instructions home instead of English. Yes. I know. I'm stupid.

I'm going to have to do it all on our non-timetable day tomorrow when I have textiles and music. Afterwards (weather permitting ofcourse) myself, Jess, Lauren, Sarah, Allan and possibly Beth are going to the orchards and then back to Sarah's house. Although, I'm not sure if I'm going to go anymore.

At the moment I'm supposed to writing a comparison between the poster and trailer for Casino Royale but I really can't be bothered. Oh well.

Ghrrrrrr!

So annoyed.

My textiles teacher needs to get her priorities straight. Honestly, every single day I come back to do work its a new excuse: meetings with parents, detentions...I don't give a damn, we're your GCSE students we're more important. She keeps on shouting at us because we only have 3 weeks to do all our written and practical coursework in (like we'd ever forget!) and she still hasn't briefed us on the last two and a half objectives! (Objectives are about six to ten pages of A3 paper describing what we have done or are going to do for our practical piece.) My practical piece is a summer dress and i have only just almost finished making the bodice. On the other hand, my friend (Jess) who's making three cushions and a duvet cover has only just finished one cushion :/

So today I'm  there after school and my teacher has the detention students so they're all giggling and everyone has to sit in silence. I can't do anything for the first twenty minutes because instead of helping us, she's having a good old chat with some assistant teacher about sales or something. So then she finally helps me and tells me to stitch along this line, so I do that and take it back to her and she shouts at me: "That's nowhere near 1.5cm you're going to have to do it again now, do it right next time" and then, he unpicks it all and draws a completely different line and tells me to stitch along that. SO she got it wrong and blamed it on me. 

Jebend.

Fall Out Burger Kids Numbers

Omgomgomgomg!

Sooo I went to see Fall Out Boy on Saturday!! =] I got myself a sexy t-shirt and had the bonus of getting to see Kids in Glass Houses aswell as they were the support band along with this random band called Hey Monday? Heard of them? I thought they had good songs but the lead singer sounded kinda chipmunky :S Anyway, Fall Out Boy completed rocked it with loads of their best songs along with their famous cover of Beat It and a new cover of American Boy. Wow, I have to say though, I am now knackered. I did so much dancing and jumping I'm suprised my legs aren't like jelly!

All the little emo kiddies around us didn't dance, but just stood there and me and my sister were like, why the hell did you pay so much to stand there? We were rocking out haha, along with this random guy who started dancing with us infont :)
Pete Wentz did this thing where he sswung the guitar up and over his head and didn't miss one single note...in a word...impressive.

Before we went in there was a MASSIVE queue so we decided to go to Burger King where i got a small fries and a chicken royal and my sister got a large fries and large onion rings, apart from, we were outraged when she did not recieve these onion rings! :O

So yeah, one of the best nights everrr. =]

Oooh yeah, and if anybody's looking for a book to read I totally reccomend 'Numbers' its a really good book and I am waiting in anticipation to see if she decides to write a second book to follow on, because she left it at suchy a cliff hanger! Ah!

Anyway...now its all about exams and line learning. I have a workshop day at the local theatre tomorrow where we have to perform our GCSE play to loads of other schools in our area, so I hope it goes okay! Wish us luck! I also have another play called 'Playhouse Creatures' which I play a very posh actress from the sixteenth century. Seriously, the language used is like gobbedy gook haha, can't understand what i'm saying, let alone learning it! Stress, stress, stresssss!

Also just wanna put in here, thanks if you managed to actually make it through this mega long post haha, and thanks so much for following my blog! :D x x

Joanne Davis.

I love the fact, that although she lives approximately 186 miles away from here (that's an estimated 3 hours and 36 minutes in the car on a good day) I can still honestly call her my best friend. We never really had a choice, we were pushed together through our fathers who have been best friends since long before we were both born. You see, her father Michael Davis is my God Father and ever since I can remember and way before that I used to visit her or vice versa every weekend before the move.

I was terrified when I found out I was moving approximately 186 miles away from her (that's an estimated 3 hours and 36 minutes in the car on a good day) because I thought she would forget about me, just like everyone else I left behind. I should have known at the time that that was impossible. Sure, I don't get to see her as much as I'd like...but that just makes the times when I actually do get to see her that much better.

Her family come to stay with us every new year and its become tradition that we stay awake, huddle around the television and watch the fireworks as the clock strikes twelve at the start of every new year. There's something comforting about that, how even through all of the good and bad times I've had, my fresh start always begins by holding my best friend's hand and smiling. Nothing can beat that.

I'm going to stay with her this Summer and I'll get to see Laura (her sister) aswell which is going to be fantastic. As we're practically the same age (she's only a few months older, but looks about five years younger!) we will have finished our GCSEs and will just be able to relax on her brown sofas watching Hannah Montana and eating Fab ice lollies.

I don't talk to Jo as much as I used to, probably due to exam and relationship stress back here in Hereford but I know she's always there for me as I'm always there for her. I love our moments of silliness when we talk utter crap and noone but us two know what we're going on about.

So here's a footfive to my friend Joanne Davis. She lives approximately 186 miles away from here (that's an estimated 3 hours and 36 minutes in the car on a good day) but I don't care, she's the best friend I could ask for, and none of y'all can top that ;)

I love you Johanne!

hmph.

-yawnnn-

I'm sleepy.
People say that sometimes I squeek when I yawn, and that that makes me weird. I don't care :)

Night, Tabby go byebyes x

p.s. babycakes you just don't know know, how I I, I love you soooo =)

Sunshine :)

The sun's shining and its gonna be a glorious dayyyyy :)

Just took the dog out for a walk and the suns out, the children are playing at the park, the ducks are quacking at the pond and brids and bees are singing from the trees :D I love summer. Everything just looks so beautiful and you can begin to appreciate what i beautiful world it is we live in. Colour just bursts from everywhere. But..sadly its not summer, not yet. Springs just beginning though so I guess that's something to smile about.

Summer is when all other cares go away. By the time it comes around this year, I will have finished my GCSEs and be celebrating my birthday once again. I'm hoping to have a big sleepover like last year with a BBQ in the garden etc. That was soo much fun :D Get to giggle with the girls in the tent whilst the boys creep around outside trying to scare us haha =D And the year before that I spent summer with a completely different group of friends in town on The Castle Green, and now I hope to repeat those days down the river and eating icecreams with the amazing friends I have made this past year.

Just gotta sit this out.

Meep.

Bored much?

Feel alright today. Its sunny outside and I'm just waiting for Summer to come on by. Then again, with that comes GCSEs eeek! Wearing little denim shorts and a vest top to shake off the feeling of winter. I hate it.

Mum's having a dinner party tonight and Bethany's babysitting so I'll have to join in :/ THAT will be fun...not. Oh well, free food.

I'm supposed to be doing all my school work today, but to be honest I don't know where to start. I had a go at a science test yesterday, but I was a little distracted...so I'll probably have to redo that. I'm trying to do my disco brief for music now, but I don't have a clue what I have to write. So I'm waiting for all the music guys to get their asses out of bed! :D Then I have to complete my media comic coursework analysis and do an essay on Of Mice and Men...wahooo....

Like the gif? Hehe :D

Thought..

it was the best way.
sorry.
you'll understand later on hopefully.
