I used to be one of those girls; who didn’t see the point in wearing make-up and thought it was atrocious for people to be pushed into wearing stuff to cover up ‘imperfections’.
But in the later years I too was then told I should wear the stuff; protesting at first; but urgh look at me. However my opinion has changed slightly. I wear the stuff because I ; myself; feel that I look a bit better and its more of a confidence boost you know just a tad bit of mineral face powder; eyeliner and mascara. I hate when people go over the top and look completely different. I mean America’s next top model have some amazing photo shoots but would the every day person go out wearing bright pink lipstick, green eyeshadow, white face powder, hair tied up funny and intensely black eye makeup? i dont think so; well most normal people wouldn’t.
Rimmel: Sexy Curves Mascara
After trying about three other brands of mascara [cheap ones], i then decided i needed something a little different. And this is exactly what I was looking for. It curves the lashes up and out; giving them an even distribution and a natural look. I didn’t even notice any clump; and the lashes just feathered out nicely.
And this means you dont need fake lashes; since it makes them longer too of course. I do hate though when they advertise with fake lashes because its pretty much false advertising; no one’s eyelashes are going to be that long without fake ones on =/
Ah im glad Sophie ellis Bextor is promoting Rimmel now; she looks far better than Kate Moss ever has.
We’ve been waiting for months on end to get the wii board, pre-ordering it and then finding out there was none in stock. Well finally we got the wii board just five days ago which was a surprise because we thought the order was cancelled; but it arrived here at night and I couldn’t wait to use it. Of course it said I was underweight and the little person that represents me spazzed out. And my goal is to gain 5 pounds in 1 month, impossible! I gain about 2 or 3 every year if that LOL.
Anyway the other day I did 3 hours and a bit of training although it only counts 3 hrs a day. I did the 10 minute jog and then bam onto the 30 minute which was damn painful. I was jogging for 5 minutes and then started to feel the pressure already. I tried it around the house previously and found that it still picked up signal when i went up to my room, out in the dining room and into the front room. I didn’t want to push my luck and go upstairs incase of the signal so I went on my dad’s computer for a bit although it was tough to type when you’re jogging on the spot. My mum said about listening to music so I went onto youtube; found a song and played it through the headphones; turning it up much louder and resting the headset around my neck instead so my mum could listen to music as well since she was sitting in the front room doing nothing. After listening to some tunes and talking for a bit; the wii remote told me I had 5 minutes left; so I went back into the middle room; done a search on the computer then bam 3 minutes had past. Overall I done a lot of running; i can’t remember how many metres; but I know it was over 4 miles for sure.
I done the 30 min freeway step up as well but sadly as you have to use the balance board you’re limited to what you can do. It said you can flick through channels whilst doing this but one; we don’t have cable in the middle room since there is no point; and two; you have to change the feet routine over every 100 steps and the wii remote doesn’t tell you to change; so if you don’t realise it then you’re stuffed.
The day after the 3 hr training; I woke up with achey shoulders and my arms were bruised. My shoulders are fine now but my arms are still a tad bruised; so I havn’t done much wii fitness since then; but I’m going to have to do some every day otherwise all that work would have been wasted. Besides its much better than going out of the house and jogging; looking like an idiot. And in the long run its much cheaper than going to the gym too.
I also went back on the wii dance today; after having completed most of the tasks on adventure mode I stopped playing it for about 3 months or so. I hate that I’m still on basic; the 2nd out of 4. I tried advance on love shine and some other ones but jeeze those steps they like expect you to do like 3 steps in 1 and a half seconds. I’ve barely passed some of the ones on 3rd; 4th being expert which I completely failed LOL. But maybe I’ll get there one day if I keep practicing. And oh yeah; do not drink or eat anything before playing or when having a break. That vanilla yoghurt drink was jumping around in my stomach when I had it to cool down; and now I feel like I am going to barf
Its nearly the begining of the 13th of december [12:31 at the moment] and its not that far away until christmas day, and sadly I’m not even the least bit excited. However the last day i have to go into this college like place is next wednesday and then I wont be back there until around the 5th of january 2009
It will be a long break as if it hasnt been already since october; and i plan to get some things done before the new year begins although they’re only minor things.
So here is my list:
- Make a gingerbread house
- Drink hot chocolate with marshmallows by the fire at night
- Sort out a buffet and prepare it myself for christmas eve
- Visit my nan and grandad every few days
- Make a really good new layout for one of my many profiles
- Come up and start presenting new ideas for a story
- Make a new video
And as for tv shows, these are the ones i should attempt to watch:
Here i go again, yapping on about Bones. But its an obsession any fan will have.
I’m going to attempt to go into a depth discussion on why its so darn addictive, and other stuff I feel like is worth talking about.
This will most likely be spoilers for people who havn’t seen the show, so dont read if you want to find things out for yourself, kay?
So the show starts off where Brennan joins Booth in the field work instead of just staying in her lab, and immediately there is conflict; with the fbi looking down on the ’squints’ and the ’squints’ disliking the fbi. There is hostility between the two but even from this being the first episode you can see something there between the two.
The emotions they portray in the show are particulary powerful. For example in season 1 episode 9 for christmas they are quarantined in the lab. Everyone gets to see their family, friends, etc visit at the door, that is everyone expect Brennan, and it made me feel for her, you can just imagine what its like to have no one there for you at christmas and i felt like screaming at the tv [well computer since ive watched it online] because the other characters didn’t even bring it up or anything, it was just her alone.
Of course, like many other fans, one of my favourite episodes in season 1 is episode 15 – two bodies in a lab because of a certain little scene where Booth saves her from a killer and she’s in an emotional state in his arms. Even though you know they wont kill her, it still makes me sit on the edge of my seat in anticipation. Within 15 episodes their partnership has seemed to already change dramatically with the pair showing deep care for one another. They could have bloody well started dating in that season, but I think the producers knew that these short but cute scenes scattered around every few episodes of seasons would keep us watching episode after episode to see if their chemistry grew any quicker. I’ve seen alot of comments regarding their relationship in season 4 and many people saying that the two actually shouldn’t get together because then there would be no spark and it would just be sappy.
I’d have to somewhat agree with that statement, although I really do think they should become a couple. I think if the producers play their cards right; they could make it work, but maybe not as an official couple. If they do this, they had best give us some more powerful scenes, more i say! I watch like a 40 minute episode and see like only 2 minutes worth of spark
Depending on if they are even considering on making a season 5, they should have the pair couple up near the end of season 4, but im sure whatever they decide to do will do good; i have faith in you producers, please dont disappoint me
Sadly Bones is now on hiatus until the middle of january, so the two episodes we were expecting before christmas have been mega delayed.
However my dad asked my mum what she wanted for christmas so he just gave her the money and she ordered the Bones season 1-3 boxset; which can be found here: http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/6738250/Bones-Complete-Seasons-1-3-Boxset/Product.html
It is becoming hard to find bones episodes online, and of course it is licensed and somewhat illegal to download? But i watched them online since sky left virgin media and has only come back recently only to show a few episodes of season 4 . http://www.watchshowsonline.tv/Bones/Season-1/Episode-1—Pilot/Videos.htm is a site with all the episodes but a lot of the videos are slowly going now. Also; http://allybox.com/watch/tv/bones.html
although they havnt updated links and the videos are getting deleted on some host site, mainly from season 1. But you can still try anyway; watch a few episodes, see if you like it, then buy it
Two episodes i love from season 2 are episode 8 – the woman in the sand and episode 9 – Aliens in a spaceship.
Of course everyone likes these two, episode 8 where Booth and Brennan go undercover in a fighting place in Las Vegas as newlyweds, and things get a bit; they’re pretty good at acting as a couple, a bit too convincing for just work partners
And episode 9 where Brennan and Hodgins are buried underground and slowly lose their air supply; only to be dramatically saved by Booth.
Frome season 3 one of my particular favourites is episode 5, mummy in a maze. They all dress up for halloween, Booth as a nerd and Brennan as wonder woman in a slightly revealing costume. I love it when his expression changes like he just got a slap in the face, its really cute how he cant find the words to describe how nice she looks but then again the conversation going back to work spoils it and its like stop bloomin denying your attraction betches.
And ah of course from season 3 episode 9 – The santa in the slush; where Caroline will only do a favour for Brennan if she kisses Booth on the lips for 5 seconds under mistletoe . Suprisingly it wasnt mentioned again and the series continue as if it never happened which is painfully annoying!
In episode 12 of season 3 – baby in the bough, they have to look after a baby that was left at a crime scene since its mother died, and Booth has to help Brennan who at first seems to be incapable of looking after a baby. But she seems to lighten up in the episode and its damn cute
Oh and episode 14 – wannabe in the weeds, where Booth gets shot from the obsessed woman who tries to kill Brennan. Its obvious he wasn’t going to die because so many people would stop watching the show, but i couldn’t help but partially grizzle like a baby heh. He took a bullet for her and still nothing further to their chemistry. And episode 15- the pain in the heart, when its revealed Booth survived but had a fake death to catch a killer who would only turn up if Booth died, Brennan whacks the killer and knocks him out, then shows a strong punch at Booth. We know as Dr Sweets said that it was an act of loving; i mean come on we didnt expect her to sit around and weep did we? And the scene of her walking in on him having a bath, awkward!
From season 4, the two best episodes for me so far are episode 10 – the passenger in the oven and episode 11 – the bone that blew.
May of us loved it when Booth attempted to flirt with Brennan about the librarian thing in 10, only to have her be like “why =/” and him sighing and telling her to forget it. Cute and funny; well scripted. And in 11 the ending scene with the pair on the balcony watching his son and her dad together shows one step closer when he said how he wanted her and her dad to help educate his son Parker
I think i’ve typed enough now; so here is a list of all the bones episodes:
I got up at like 7:30, hopped into the shower, got dressed and spent about 40 mins curling my hair. I was supposed to meet Vicky at like 9 around tesco but the gas man came over and it was like urgh!
I text her and she said she had to be home at 10:30 so i decided to delay at meet at 1 at her school. I need to get my certificates on the way but ah im scared of going back to that place now because its like I dont go there anymore and its not my territory if you know what i mean.
Why am I so extremely nervous of going back to catch up with people from school? I really dont want to go now.
I’ve tried to be a confident person, since i go to this place every week and dont know anybody; havn’t made any new friends, but I get spells where I can just walk down the street and not give a care in the world what people think, and then bam i go back to feeling like this; all scared and worried about confronting people.
Something has put me in a good frame of mind this week.
I joined with fanfiction.net years ago but of course i forgot my email and password in that time so I made a new account this year. I wrote like one 1shot and a story thats incomplete with only 2 chapters.
An idea came to me when I was sitting down with nothing to do; so i decided to make a christmas story on a tv show I love; since thats what people do on this site if you havn’t seen it before =)
I put up the first chapter online on 8/12/08 and the second chapter on the 9th. I was on a role last night and ended up writing and adding chapter 3, 4 & 5. And as i check my stats now; within 4 days I have recieved 2,317 hits ; 16 reviews, 2 faves, and 25 alerts [lets em know when i put up a new chappie].
Of course compared to many other stories both online and in the book industry its not a lot; but to me in 4 days it feels good for me because I was unsure if I would even be able to come up with a unique story since there are around 7,000 or so stories just for the this tv show. But the reviews i’ve recieved are positive and i shall now get started on the final chapter tonight. So far I’ve wrote 8,507 words on it
Oh and I wont post the link.
And i’d rather people I know wouldnt read it either. Its weird, because when I write im like a whole different person; and i get too self concious if someone reads a story and then having to explain myself to them. Thats when its best to just let people who don’t know you read and review it.
For quite some time years ago I wrote silly and fun poetry but I cringed when I read them at a recent date. I find it easier to express things in a story rather than a poem. I did attempt at writing a book about 5 years or so ago LOL by hand and i got to 11 pages, but when reading it, it was pretty shit to be honset, so i chucked it out.
I may be wrong, but I think there is a chance that I could get somewhere in writing, well a very small percentage, and i’ll just give it a shot. I cant write massively long books like JK Rowling who is amazing; but I think i’d be able to do short stories perhaps.
I’ll just have to wait until I get the right idea and story line before I even think of attempting to open a new word document and typing away.
I’ve been using hair curling tongs by braun for about two years now, on and off though, about 3-4 days a week when i was at school. My hair doesnt seem damaged at all since my hair has long breaks after they’re been curled. But dun dun dun ive been lazy since i go to a course once a week at the moment and i didnt brush my hair for two days, thus experiencing terrible knots the other day making the brush rip through the hair.
So how does this relate to tongs? well my hair was feeling a little rough and it was an early morning so i had doubts that I would get out of bed in time to curl them in the morning. SO I seperate my hair into strands, put mousse in them, plaited them then tied the endings with hair bands to hold them together. It took a while but i used smallish strands to ensure that my hair would have lots of curls.
Also my hair has layers in it so there were odd strands here and there. I had run out of hair bands and the hairs were too thin to be seperated into three then plaited. So what did i do? I put mousse on the strands and then wrapped them around a pencil and clipped them in.
Looks pretty messy eh. And of coure you cant sleep with pencils in your hair. But the seperate strands around the pencil dry off quickly so within half hour maximum you can just take the pencils and clips out then hop into bed.
When i took the pencils out, my hair was stiff from the mousse but it was held in place well, and they were really curly and pretty; much more achieved from using a pencil worth like 2p than curlers that are £20, hard to use, take ages to heat and fail to curl well.
And if you’re wondering how it turned out then:
Not a very good pic of me but ah well. And it was taken after I had been out for about 7-8 hours, so the hair stayed curled rather way if i do say so myself
So my Dad walked in through the front door with a massive box that he could just about hold. He took it to the middle room and a few hours later I walk in and suddenly I see a 1.5m reeindeer standing there staring at me… Its just a tad taller than me but URGH its ridiculous!
Why is it we get too high on christmas and waste money. I heard people even go into debt just so they can afford to buy presents and party on time for christmas. I mean yeah the decorations are nice and all, and get people into the christmassy mood but i think i’d rather the money be spent on hmm perhaps a present for me? lol i mean dad bought some light up house thing that isnt even a decent size and it cost around £50. Im only getting £60 spent on me this year because we apparantley dont have enough money again this year but then he goes and buys these £50 light up things and a massive moving standing reeinder dressed as santa costing god knows how much.
The day is pretty much overrated now as well. Used to get loads of presents when i was a baby… worthless gifts that are not in use any more. Last year the presents barely reached in line with the tv. Ah christmas lists are pretty worthless too when you only ever get one thing on the list whilst you’re desperate for something else but alas you cannot afford it.
Remember the good old days of believing in Santa? Although I know some people never believed in him because “their parents dont want to lie”. I believed for around 10 years and when I found out he doesnt exist it was sort of depressing. But now that I think back on it, why did I believe, I mean him getting around all those houses in one night? come on lets be real lol.
I used to leave a mince pie and carrot out every year and write letters to Santa and recieving a reply on boxing day. I used to think I was special in getting a letter until I found out it was just my mum passing on my letters to my grandad and him typing replies up on the computer and making cards, imposing as Santa. And when i got a barbie typewriter once as a present, and i got a reply from Santa who used the typewriter. I always thought it was a bit weird that he was in my room using my typewriter! heh
But of course i never really used it and it just went one day. Ah well. what a waste.
I used to get up at around 6am every christmas and wait around for ages for mum and sister to get out of bed. I still do have to wait around for them which is annoying, its just like Give me my damn stuff already, especially if i get a new wii game because then I can play it all day.
Used to like spending christmas eve with Grandad Ray. He used to watch eastenders or something and he liked it when i would sit with him. Unlike other people, even though his favourite programme was on, he took the time to talk to me and cuddle me, which is something I wouldnt do these days hah but back then I was just too loving wasnt I.
One of the last times I spent a day with Grandad was a few years back at my cousins party. I was the only one in this house to go and my cousins had all their school friends there so i didnt really talk to anyone and i’ve always been shy. Grandad called me over and had like a 5 minute chat with me. These crackers i liked had just ran out and he asked my aunt to get some more from the kitchen cupboard. I cant remember what we were talking about but I do recall him saying that he liked talking to me. He said I should go back with my cousins and I did. Now that I look back on it, he really was lonely. My family hate him for some reason but I havnt been told anything. I was supposed to find out when I turned 16 in june but I havnt been told. Maybe I shouldnt know what he done. Maybe I should just forget it and see him as the man he was to me. I just wish I had been older, understood him at the time when he needed someone.
He bought the gameboy colour for me, my sister and my 2 cousins when they first came out. Then I found out when he died that he couldnt afford it. He was putting all his granddaughters before him.
All i want for christmas is snow. Thats mainly what the perfect christmas is for me, snow.
So I used to be one of those who never got spots. Until about 2 years ago when I’d get like one once in a while. Now i have about 4!. It started off with one near my chin, so i picked it since it went white, then bam i got 2 more next to it and one on my cheek near my nose. It normally works, if you squeeze the core bit out of it then the spot is practically gone by the next day but NO not these ones, they just keep coming back redder and redder.
Im allergic to Clearasil and Neutrogena, no idea whats in them that does it but when i tried them my face went all itchy red and blotchy.
However, the juice from a lemon gets rid of spots quite well. It dries them up in about 2 hours and they usually dont return. I stopped using it for a while though because it dries up the skin as well since it is very acidic and takes all the moisture away. Also, when i used victoria principles face cleanser and scrub, I suddenly got a reaction to it so I then had to stop using the lemon for it made the skin really sensitive.
But damn im going back to it because nothing else is working and these spots are killers! they just bleed then scab up.
I feel sorry for those with red spots that never go white, those are a bitch to get rid of!
But remember, gotta love natural methods. yay to lemon!.
I was able to watch episode 9 half a day later from the time it was released since finding people uploading it on the internet is hard; half the sites where you can watch it supposedly require something to download which just attacks your computer with parasites. Hear there is going to be a series 5 of bones, so i bet they’re just going to drag it on later and probably end the series with booth and brennan getting together. NO. please do it like a season beforehand, its “aww” like when they have their moments ;(
Animal Crossing for the wii is out in 3 days woo! cant wait to play it. Im not sure if i can connect to the internet with it though since the internet is messing up but im still somehow able to connect on laptop with some mysterious wifi heh. Me and Ben are going to connect on the game and visit eachothers house and stuff, though it looks like typing with the wii remote is going to be a bit of a bitch!
What else… hm ELF YOURSELF is back in 3 days. GOD i missed that! It was funny last year elfing people but some pics were like urgh embarrasing.
However there isnt really anything else to look forward to, only things in the next 6 days which is depressing. Ah well. VERY short blog here, going to kick myself for making such a short blog but there isnt really much else to say now.
I went to this place that deals with apprenticeships although I cant get one until late jan/feb. But they’re going to put me on some course and I get £20 for every time I go. I have to go in tomorrow and im scared! there are people who are like 14-19 years old. And the woman was saying that some of the boys there are boisterious and yanno charged with testesterone and i was thinking OH GOD. And we had a quick tour around the place [its rather small] and its like a bloomin warehouse. Plus everyone was like staring since im new, and damn right those boys seem dodgy .
The bus journey to and from was quite amusing though. There was a smelly man with an irish hat who looked like he had mascara on, a half bald man laughing like “hahahaheha”, 2 old women babbling about their life stories and one whipping out her pastries from sainsburys and showing them off. The best bit was when this man stood up ready for his stop, and he sort of swivveled round whilst holding onto the chair pole since the bus drivers are pretty careless, and he tripped up over his own foot and lurched forward. It was like one of those slow motion things where all your thoughts gather in one second whilst something is happening. It was like “please dont fall, or i’ll laugh even more!”. He grabbed poles on either side then let go and walked off once the bus had stopped. Of course I was trying to hold the laughter in and covered my face with my hands so he didnt see me laughing. What made it worse was that my mum was sitting next to me and smirking so it just made it worse. Whenever I try and hold my laugh in now I just get tears welling up in my eyes. Ah jee i was still lolling 10 mins after it happened.
The internet has been unplugged from the computers which is annoying! but somehow i’ve now got the internet through next door which is really weird; i swear they wernt on the same thing we were, and we have 3 connections of netgear now instead of 1 which is real dodgy. I really want to get a new computer, I hate the cheap shit my dads friend gets. I just want a computer from dell which will be way more expensive than what my dad gets them for but at least its bloody well worth the money right?
I think i’d rather have a computer than a laptop, and probably buy my own internet so that im plugged straight into it. Its also more reliable in my opinion. Ive had my computer for about 5 years now and this laptop for just about a year. Laptop gets hot easily and sometimes theres some connection problems. Also it cant deal with as many windows as I have on my computer.
Watching charmed at the moment since we have the entire series on box set. Im half way through season 5. I was watching it months ago but then other stuff happened and then I just stopped watching it. I remember watching it ages ago on tv with my sister who loves the show, but of course i didnt watch the whole series and i cant remember much so ive had to get through all the seasons again. I cant choose who I like better, its like alot of people prefer either Prue or Paige, but I like them both. Paige brings more sense of humour when she joined the series but with Prue it was more like sisterly love in a way.
Ah im glad Sophie ellis Bextor is promoting Rimmel now; she looks far better than Kate Moss ever has.
