spring needs to hurry up. The weather today was miserable which meant I had to stay in and do coursework, when usually me, my dad and Kate all go somewhere and actually do something. It sucks that I don't see my brother, Matt as much but I guess that can't be avoided when he's in Leeds at university. This was a good day us two had together, we went to Wollaton Park and took pictures:

it's about creating yourself

Today I spent a couple hours making Josh and Katie's birthday presents. Josh's is obviously the dinosaur t-shirt not the pink bow plimsolls. Katie gave me the plimsolls so I decided to swap the laces for pink ribbon. The blue plimsolls are just some I did for Josh last week. The design is a broken spray can leaking paint.

I can't wait to go to Paris on the 4th of Feb. It's just me and Lauren and it'll be amazing.



I can tell that girl anything, be 100% myself around her and tell her my deep secrets. Luke says he's going to be so bored without us two at school, so I'll get him something nice. I don't know how much money to take, maybe £50? That's not too much. Luke, our little gay boy, my skinny homo. He's hilarious and I can always go to him when I need help or feel down. I wind him up so much with my gay jokes, but I can't resist. What about Tim? He can jog on! He said I smelt of fart! Only joking. I'll bring him back something too, I don't know what though. I want to buy an Eiffel Tower keyring and maybe a Paris t-shirt. Tim is legend. Seriously. I can tell him absolutely anything and trust him to not tell anyone. Mine, his and Luke's chats in geography are amazing.
Finally, Josh... Words cannot describe him, so I'm not going to try. I'm sure anyone that knows me or reads my blog know how crazy I am about him.

THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE ARE AMAZING

But anyway, I'm off to make Josh's t-shirt for his birthday

I haven't blogged in ages, sorry. I've been pretty busy with coursework and my mum's been doing university work so I didn't manage to get on the laptop. I should be getting my laptop cable in the post soon, so I'll be back to blogging more often.

Yesterday I went to this craft shop in Arnold (where I live) and bought a fabric pen that's permanent so I'll be able to used that on my plimsolls too. I bought 3 beads with roses in, 2 silver and diamond bead, 1metre of cord all for £1.20- bargain or what! The pen was £1.40 which is amazing because at Montana they cost £3.20.

I've made Josh's valentine's card and birthday card and Katie's birthday card and I still need to make my brother's card for 20th Feb which is his birthday.

I'm going to go to sixth form... should be good. I've opted to take art, media, english literature and geography at a level. I will go to university, probably just Nottingham because it'll be cheaper- I can stay at home and not have to worry about paying rent.

In three weeks it'll be one year for me and Josh, which falls on Valentine's day every year... well... because that's when he asked me out, pretty obvious.

People are doing my head in at the moment so I'm trying to keep my mouth shut but I'm afraid my anger will build up and I'll explode. That won't be pretty.

Saving for holiday is going well, got over £400.

A lot of my friends have started blogging since I have :)

But overall, life's good.

I can't wait for spring and eventually summer. I'm fed up of the dreary winter days.

I've made another blog: flywayawayaway.blogspot.com, I don't know what I'm going to blog about on it so somebody please give me an idea

I don't want anybody except you,
I don't need anybody but you.
Nothing or no one compares to you,
Nobody ever will.

I thought I would show some of my school art work on here. I'm A* in art and I've chosen to do it at sixth form and then go to university and study graphic design like my brother.

Year 10:

oil pastel in style on Georgia Okeefe


pencil copy


magazine collage


biro, blue and black


watercolour and biro



fine liner


final piece, still in progress. I still need to finish the tissue paper sections and cut the board into 3 and tie them together with string. I need to work into the pencil section too.


Year 11:

German expressionism art history


print design ideas


print design page


double prints, in black and red, of my chosen print design


coloured print backgrounds


pencil portrait


Otto Dix copy, oil pastel


the lady with the green stripe, oil pastel copy


Kathe Kollwitz (my chosen artist) copy in graphite stick


Final piece, based on Kathe Kollwitz, with Edward Munch's scream background. I atill need to turps the background which will make the graphite look smoother and more blended.

Ok, so about an hour ago I heard a really loud bang and thought it was a firework, turned out it was a gunshot! Why?! why get yourself into that kind of crowd or scene?

To make it worse, it was literally 2 metres away from my house! The guy kinda bought it on himself (he didn't get shot...just his car as sort of warning)but it's not exactly a nice feeling to think my home town and place where I live has people carrying guns and knives around.

People think it's all fun and games, then someone they car about will get killed, they'll get angry and kill that person or someone close to them and the cycle will just carrying on... even though they know what it feels like to lose someone because of it, so why make somebody else feel like that too?

Personally, if anything people who carry knives or guns are just cowards.

To do with guns and knives, check out my mate's stepdad's organisation. Tt's about surporting the people of Nottingham or anyone really to deal and get rid of gun and knife crime, which is a big problem here, it's a really good and positive thing for people of any age really. Also, I helped one day and went to a photo shoot for the clothing line which has some cool urban designs :)

I think I'm becoming obsessed with converse. I wrote about it on a previous post so I'm not going to bore you and repeat myself

I'm not a toy, don't act like you can play with me one minute, then throw me away when you're bored because alot of people seem to think they can do that

I got a new Animal jacket for Christmas and I love it!



This is one of my boyfriend's photos of me so I thought I'd share it on here.

I thought this picture was a bit cool too:


It's been snowing A LOT here, for British weather anyway, It's getting annoying now because It's just in the way! Like last night, it was my friend's party but the snow and ice put me off going so I stopped at Josh's, which was nice, as usual :)

I took this, this morning, when me and Josh were eating haribo :)
