Prospects

It's been a while...

Recently I started a GCSE English course because I sadly was unable to sit my GCSE's and I'm sure I would have received a good grade so instead of living in regrets and what ifs' I decided to prove that I could do it to myself. I will be happy with a grade C or above.

I also had my first job interview the other day. I prepared for ages (more than I needed to). Unfortunately I didn't get the job and this was soul destroying. It affected me more than I thought it would after all it was a job for 3 hours on a weekend and they only interviewed three people for the position. I ruined my chances with my nerves and lack of experience. I'm jumping back on the horse though and have applied for the same position somewhere else.

Fingers crossed. XX

Woe Is Me?

Well, I guess it's time I write something instead of just posting little tid bits here and there.

An old school friend recently started up a blog, much like myself and it was interesting to see how alike we are in our thoughts even though we've drifted apart. I haven't seen her in about 8 years though we keep in touch via facebook. It has completely confounded me that we have become so separate yet have grown up wanting the same things and thinking the same way although she seems to have her life sorted out, more than myself who has ashamedly taken to cowering in the corner with my hands over my face hoping that it will all go away.

I can't talk about my current situation and how I ended up here without sounding all 'woe is me'. So like thumper says 'if you can't say somethin' nice don't say nothin' at all' and I do heed that lovable bunny's advice but not here since this is a blog and I need to vent goddamnit!

I 'celebrated' my 20th birthday a couple of weeks ago and instead of feeling happy I found myself becoming desperately sad. The phrase 'what have I done with my life' crept up more than once in my mind. I ended up collapsing on the bathroom floor sobbing til I got that headache you sometimes get when you've literally cried so hard your head hurts. I may seem like I play the sympathy card but that's not to say that I don't blame myself I do and that's why I cannot let go.

Suffice it to say things need to change. I need to rid myself of this ache in my stomach which creeps up everytime I see someone my age fulfilling their wishes or knowing what they want. I need to crawl out of this hole I've dug for myself before it becomes my grave. I'll write out what I want to achieve and how I can do it and try to sway my lifes events onto a different coarse. and hopefully I wont spend my next birthday crying on the bathroom floor.

Sorry to end things on such a desperately sad note but really for there to be hope there must be sadness. At least that's how I look at it.

Wish me luck

Look at your friend, now back to me; now at your friend, now back to me! Sadly, he isn't me; but if he stopped using antisocial behavior and started using job center he could be like me. Look down, back up. Where are we? You're at an interview, with the man your friend could work for! What's in his hand? It's an application form to that job he needs. Look again.. the form is now money! Anything is possible when you get a job and stop looting. I'm at a desk

Angelina, Interrupted

Angelina is my favourite part about the film, for me it is by far her best performance yet.

Her Oscar was rightfully deserved.

Winona, Interrupted

I feel Winona was overshadowed and underrated in 'Girl, Interrupted'.

Kristen Wiig

I adore Kristen Wiig, she's currently my favorite comedy actress. I've loved her since I went to see 'Whip It' in the cinema, her character was my favorite and I just wanted to see more of her. Which proves what a great actress she is. She's also gorgeous yet not threatening and not afraid to make a fool of herself.

Then I went to go see 'Paul' and she was even more hilarious and played a bigger part which I was so pleased about. I've been keeping an eye out for her since (no 'Paul' pun intended) and I was so excited to see that 'Bridesmaids' was coming out. I went to go see it purely to watch her performance, and she was amazing it was co written by her also so she's an even greater idol to me now as the film is hysterical. yes us women are funny god damn it and having to feel like we need to prove it all the time is like talking about the world being flat, it's been proven time and time again. Kristen is such a pioneer of female comedy I'm so grateful I had to write this blog about her I wish her all the success in the world and if you needed anymore proof that she's amazing check these videos out...

✎ There Is No Dog - Meg Rosoff

For those of you who didn't know, Meg Rosoff is one of my favorite Authors and I'm excited to announce that her fifth book is about to be released.

I've been a fan of Meg's since I found 'How I Live Now' when it was first released in a local WH Smiths. I read the blurb and decided to take it home with me, and boy am i glad i did. The book opened up a whole new reading world to me, one in which I could truly for once see myself as being able to become an author, writing the stories i wanted to write whereas before I fobbed it off as only a pipe dream.
That book was inspirational. Since then I've really branched out on what I will read and no longer consider YA fiction as my go-to genre. I'll give so many more great pieces of art my time and even the not so great ones, yet i still enjoy the experience. I know this is a lot to put onto one book, but if there is one book which changes a persons attitude to reading, for me 'How I Live Now' was it.

As for her latest release it promises to make you ponder and realise new perspectives once more and I for one can't wait...

In the beginning, Bob created the heaven and the earth and the beasts of the field and the creatures of the sea, and twenty-five million other species (including lots of fanciable girls).
But mostly he prefers eating junk food and leaving his dirty clothes in a mouldering heap at the side of his bed.

When Bob plays with mortals, millions die. And every time he falls in love, earth erupts in natural disasters. So humankind is going to be very sorry indeed he ever ran into a beautiful, completely irresistible girl called Lucy . . .

How To Make A Toastie

OK so this is what I love to eat.
 Real comfort food, you know.
 Something which you don't have to fuss around with and still fills you up and tastes brill
(BTW it's real simple)
Here's a quick how to

1. Turn the sandwich toaster on.
2. Butter 2 slices of bread.
3. Place a slice of ham between the bread with the buttered sides on the outside.
4. Cut the top crust off the bread.
5. Place neatly inside the sandwich toaster, making sure not to burn yourself
(use a knife to help position it)
6. Pull the handle down and click into place.
7. Wait for 4 minutes.
8. Turn sandwich toaster off and take out Toastie.
9. Cut in half and serve.
Voila! Told you it was easy.

Here's a link to where to buy my sandwich toaster

✎ Heist Society - Ally Carter

Can't wait for this to be released.

They're raving about it in America,

and the cover kicks ass.

When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her to the Louvre...to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie travelled to Austria...to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own - scamming her way into the best boarding school
in the country, determined to leave the
family business behind.

A little about me? sure, I'll go ahead. One day I hope to be an author, and in order to be one of those I've learnt you need to write, so here we are. I live at home with my sister, mother, step dad & half brother. OK so that's the human side taken care of, as for animals I have 2 cats and 1 dog she's a shi-tzu.

I have social anxiety disorder so i don't really go out much.
QQ: Is it possible to get writers block before you've started writing?

A little while ago I posted some book reviews on YouTube, they now have a total of seven views. Hell Yeah! (note the sarcasm, can't really convey tone here people)

I love to read and would like to work in a library and write my own books.
I am volunteering at the library this summer for the reading challenge where I'll be handing out little stickers to kids :)

OK so that's a little snippet about me and my life, I'm sure you're very bored now, I'll update soon.

New Beginnings
