2009 Review...

Well, what a strange year it was...
For the first two weeks I was classed as 'unemployed', then, I got a job working for the Goverment ;) Good money :D Training for the job lasted a month or so, and that was quite fun. Then we got into it, and it was ok for a while, a couple of months maybe, but then I started to get a bit miserable. I really did hate it. Just as it was getting really bad, they gave us training for a different job, which was about ten times worse! :( A few weeks into that I was awful, I cried on the bus to work, I cried at work, I was always thinking of ways that I could get time off work. Even when I wasn't at work, all I could think about was being there again soon! So in September, I finally decided that I needed to get out of this, move forward with my life, and re-do my A Levels. I had to contact the college, discover it was a LOT of money for me to do my A Levels again (because i'm over 19) and then tell my parents what I wanted to do and ask for their help and support. That took a lot, but I managed to convince them. Then I was stressed because the college application time had already passed, and I had to see on the enrolment day whether I could get in or not, meaning that I couldn't resign at work until i'd been to the enrolment! I was supposed to give one MONTHS notice, and the enrolment was one WEEK before college actually started. So I had to be polite about it but bad and hand in one weeks notice :| because I GOT IN to college :D I was so happy that day. So that's what i'm doing now. A Levels, as a 19 year old! I'll be 21 when I finally finish! It's ok though, it's something I just needed to do.
Also this year, I loved a girl. A beautiful girl. We had a lot of good times together, and i'll be honest; she helped me through a lot of stuff this year, kept me going etc. I broke up with her recently though, I never meant to end it so abrubtly, but I realised I just couldn't be with her anymore. There were just some things that meant I couldn't be in a relationship with her. No hard feelings, I hope. It'd be nice to start our friendship completely over this year.
Hmm, what else?
OH, I SAW TAKE THAT LIVE. That quite possibly MADE my year. I've loved them since I was a very little kid, so it was absolutely incredible to see there amazing Circus show with my own eyes :')
I also saw another of my favourite bands, Snow Patrol! :) They are absolutely MAGICAL live. I would urge anyone to see them! I really hope I get the chance to do so again soon.
My BEST friend went to University in Birmingham (about an hour from me) and it absolutely tore me apart. We're like sisters, and see each other all the time. She's actually like a part of me. But then, (and I won't go into why online) she came home again, and in ways, I was SO glad. I didn't lose her <3
As for holidays, I went to Barcelona with my parents early in the year! It's actually my favourite place in the whole damn world, so it was amazing to be able to go again! :D Also, I went to T4 On The Beach in Weston-Super-Mare with 2 of my best friends, which was pretty awesome :)
In terms of music... stuff that I've really gotten into this year, i'll say ADAM LAMBERT!<3<3<3, David Cook, Rufus Wainwright, JLS (hate to say it, I have been converted! xD), Joe McElderry (oh, he is heaven sent!), and FLORANCE & THE MACHINE <3 wow. There are probably more but I can't think right now.
Friendship wise, I've kept my oldest and closest friends, close to me. Become a lot closer to a couple that i'd drifted away from and made a few new friends at college, two of whom are going to be friends for life <3
A LOT more has happened this year, but I can't concentrate now, as it's only 35 minutes 'til THE END OF DOCTOR WHO AS I KNOW IT! :'( I'm going to be distraught and broken hearted soon :(

 

HAPPY 2010 everyone! Hope it's a good year for all! :)

Ok, so it's still a little rough around the edges, but I'm really enjoying life at the moment :)
My friends are the best :) I couldn't have wished to meet a better bunch of people at college this year, especially Ben & Ollie, I can't belive I've made BEST friends in such a short ammount of time :)
OFC I still love ALL my friends, especially Cris and Izzy... would be LOST without those two, too :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS to anyone who may read this! :D

Day One - a song
Day Two - a picture
Day Three - a book/ebook/fanfic
Day Four - a site
Day Five - a youtube clip
Day Six - a quote
Day Seven - whatever tickles your fancy

I'm going to pick something for each of these things that means a lot to me; let you into my head a little bit...

Song; Robbie Williams - Feel.
This song could sum up how I feel about life, seriously. 'Come on hold my hand, I want to contact the living'... how brilliant is that line? It's just so clever. So true to how I feel as well. The main thing I love about life is deep conversations with people but I don't seem to be able to get them... people don't seem to want to have in depth conversations about life, death, the universe, EVERYTHING, and it really frustrates me. This line kinda sums that up... I wanna find people who are like... ALIVE!
'My head speaks a language I don't understand', well, fuck me! THAT IS my mind. I don't understand myself.
'I don't wanna die, but I ain't keen on living either' my god. Especially when I had depression this line sung out to me. I was never suicidal, not fully, I was just fed up. I just didn't wanna be. Just wanted to feel numb. Still rings out to me when I get down now. Don't need emo music me, Robbie Williams will do ;) lol.
The rest of the song is EVERYTHING to me too, but I think I need to stop rambling now.
Back tomorrow!

I still can't believe it :(
I can't believe how much i've cried this morning, too :/
I grew up listening to Boyzone. God.
He was such a sweet, down to earth guy.
He came out in 1999 when Boyzone were still together, when it wasn't 'cool' to be gay. What a man.
You'll be greatly missed, Stephen.

Heard about this movie such a long time ago! Gosh... I really hope it comes out soon! (and I REALLY hope it comes out in the UK and not just the US or anything shitty like that!)

Ok, first 50 seconds is like 0__o oh dear. THEN EWAN STEPS IN AND ALL IS GOOD :D Ewan is AMAZING. My number one favourite actor in the world. I'm just... oh gosh he looks so cute in this! :) SO EXCITED! Ha.

I just need to rant about...
shockedjj
[info]charharkness

Michael friggin' Jackson... >__<  I know this post will be hypocritical because I'm fed up of people talking about it but I just need to get this out...
Ok, he made some good music, but really, that's about it. He was a FREAK, and a possible peadophile. Imagine if he wasn't famous, and he lived at the end of your street; you'd try and avoid him, wouldn't you? Then when he died, you'd probably feel ever so slightly relieved.
It just makes me feel sick to think of all the thousands of people who must have died all over the world that day, especially those living in poverty etc, and most people wouldn't have even thought of that, like those deaths meant nothing.
I'm just so sick of hearing him played everywhere I go. I can't get away from it. No one was playing his records much before he died. What changed? Absolutely nothing. Yet suddenly it's like people who seemingly never even cared about Michael Jackson before are all upset about it :/
I know i'm a TOTAL hypocrite, because I know if someone famous that I liked died I would be SO upset by it. Although, that's because all the artists I listen to, they really mean something to me. The music means something to me, and lots of my favourite artists are (as far as I can tell) genuinely lovely people. Heh. I'm going to bed now.
Hope no one is offended by this :/

/RANT.

Leave me a comment saying "PIMM'S O'CLOCK".
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

Asked by Gee (will do a proper username when i'm not on my iPhone!)

1. What is your favourite place to eat out?
Little Frankie's! Me and my best friend cris are a bit obsessed with it. It's like the restaurant version of home for us lol. Pizza Hut and Pizza Express are good too. Basically, pizza restaurants lol. Oh and a few really nice random pubs ad restaurants.

2. What country would you like to visit?
Basically, I want to travel the world. It's the main thing I want to do in life. I mean (in my opinion anyway) we only have this one life, and one world to live in, so why not make the most of it? I think the world is filled with so much beauty and I just want to see as much as I possibly can!

3. What is your worst habit?
Hmm, I'd probably have to say biting all the skin round my fingers, I do it all the time and it makes a right mess of them :(

4. Do you have any phobias? If so, what?
This is an easy one... Without a doubt, moths. I have aaaaalways hated them. It's just that they flutter and ughhh I
can't even describe it, but I can't even be in the
same room with even just a tiny moth without feeling uncomfortable :|

5. What is the scariest thing you've ever done?
This I know without giving it thought too; giving a speech on self harm in year 10. It had some personal
stuff about me in it as well ad trying to get across a
message and it scared the hell out of me that I was going to share somethig about myself that o hated so much and that
people might frown upon me for. I did it though, and it was also my proudest moment ever too. My teacher was in tears and even some of the nastier girls were all saying well done and telling my teacher an A* and stuff!

Woo that's it!

Dear mother,

I'm so tired at the moment. I just feel drained all the time *yawns as I post this*

I have a few things to mention...

I went to see Snow Patrol on Thursday! It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. They were absolutely breathtaking. Lightbody is a god, seriously.

Thanks to LiveJournal i've made a really good friend recently; Willow - intoxicarcerate. She actually rocks my socks. We're on the same wave length, and both rather a lot like JJ. Scary but awesome stuff! <3 *waves* :)

I had to go home from work yesterday 'cause I could hardly speak :( I really hope i'm ok on monday!
Ahh, where is this weekend going?!

I'm still not in the mood for fic writing. My poor little brain is too exhausted at the moment :(

SKINS! Gosh... next week's looks AMAZEEEE :D Roll on thursday!


Skins, hair, mcfly, life etc...

New series of Skins! At first I thought it was going to be a bit naff to be honest, but now i'm in love with it! Especially JJ <3. Why do cute, socially awkward, funny boys who do magic not exsist in real life? No fair :( 
Pandora is amazing! I'm so sad she lost her virginity to Cook, the night before Thomas returned. Gosh that scene was so bittersweet... I actually cried. It's getting more like Skins now *g* The Emily/Naomi thing is awesome too ;) Can't wait to see both of their episodes. I hope some more stuff actually happens between the two of them as a couple.

I NEEEEEED a hair cut man! Gosh it's been a stupid amount of time to leave it! Also I want to dye it for the first time ever, too! I want it the colour of Emily off Skins. I'm a naturaly deep red head anyway and so I know it'd go with my skin tone and such. I'm actually rather excited about it. I hope I manage to go through with it!

McFly have announced a new tour! Wonder if me and Kat will go? Hope so :D David Archuleta (sp?) is going to be supporting them. LOL. How cute :P If it was David Cook, well then i'd be MEGA exicted. Archuleta is cool though I guess :P

Going to see The X Factor tour in a couple weeks and staying with Kat in Manchester. Can't wait to see Kat again tbh :D It's gonna be mint! & I get the day off work... WOO :D

& It's only like a month 'til I see Snow Patrol as well :D So happy :):):)

To everyone reading my fic... so sorry I haven't updated for ages. I will try to do so sometime before next weekend aha. I'm just not used to getting up at 6.30 every morning and working for over 7 hours monday - friday! Hope you guys stick with me! The Barlowen comm rocks :D *big hugs to all you guys!*

HOT FUZZ HOT FUZZ HOT FUZZ HOT FUZZ HOT FUZZ... Oh my lord W O W! I watched it for the first time on Friday night (seriously, how did I go this long without seeing it?!) and I fell in love with it! I bought the 2 disc edition from Cex in Nottingham on Saturday and then watched it again on Saturday night :D It's amazing. I spent Sunday reading Danny/Nicholas slash... my new OTP! Ahaa... I just can't help myself... ;P

Totally pointless journal entry! I got some nice clothes from Primark today :) I'm so tired now and it's only 9.30... damn having to get up at 6.30 :( lol.
