"We Are The Young We're All Right!"

Raising Chicks

Just some things I've noticed in the first few days of Peanut and Penguin's lives.

1) Chicks grow at an amazing rate! At a few hours old they were already the size of an apple. 2 days old they were the size of a pear and now at about 4 days old they're the size of a mango!

2) They call out for their Mummy. It's a different noise to the happy little chirping they emmit normally. It's more of a call - and it really is heartbreaking for the sensitive soul! This noise is made when they're alone in a room... as soon as I or my Mum enters they hush up.

3) They're not as daft as their adult counter parts. Penguin has learnt that if he/she stands on the food container and jumps, he/she can almost escape!

4) They prefer food where they can bend to get it. They prefer the chick crumbs to be on the ground rather than in the trough... somehow it's easier to get.

5) Sleep is for the boring and bored. On their first day they kept having little 'micro sleeps' - i.e falling over where they stand to catch a few zz's, and then waking up and being bright eyed and bushy feathered once more. Now they hardly sleep at all - just doze for a second.

6) Whatever you can do, I can do better. Chicks are competitive. Peanut drank two mouthfuls of water in succession - Penguin watched this and then drank three. Peanut had a power nap in the corner - Penguin had a power nap on the food trough perch! Penguin is definately the typical younger sibling.

7) I can see youuuu.... Penguin has learnt that he/she can look through the handles of the box to make sure there are people still in the room with him/her.

8) Combing keeps the feathers looking young! Already they know how to groom their feathers and brush them up to look more impressive and eye catching.

9) Penguin's can't fly - and neither can Peanuts. No matter how many runs up the seal puppet you do, you still cannot fly off the end to freedom - I tell you this now.

10) Straw is not practical, nor yummable. Straw is hard to balance on even for the most elite acrobats, and it most certainly does not taste nice.

11) I can wrap Mummy Millie around my little feather. Just the slightest adorable look or teeniest chirp and Millie is there giving us cuddles and kisses.

"Old Maria Had A Farm, Ee Ii Ee Ii Oh... With A Cheep Cheep Here..."

This is Peanut and Penguin. See if you can guess which is which? ? Penguin is Niall's chicken and Peanut is mums.

"I Wanna Be Laughed At, Laughed With, Just Because. I Wanna Feel Weightless And That Should Be Enough"

So I'm thinking of changing my style again.. to Mangacore.

Basically I will dress like Anime characters... japanese people do it!







Here are some pointers as to what Anime looks like...

And here are my ideas. I own the following :








I have two petticoats and some ties, but I need to get a black one and maybe some hair ribbons and hair extensions. I also want to get this dress -



So some how I need lots of money :L:L

Peace out xx Sorry for the pointless blog post xxx

I'm reeealllly missing Niall right now, so I'm going to copy some song lyrics by some bands that I dedicate to him ... just because I miss him that much.

Wait For Me
Theory Of A Deadman

You are not alone tonight
Imagine me there by your side
It's so hard to be here so far away from you
I'm counting the days till
I'm finally done
I'm counting them down, yeah, one by one
It feels like forever till I return to you
But it helps me on those lonely nights
It's that one thing that keeps me alive

[Chorus:]
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently

No one else knows the feeling inside
We hang up the phone without saying goodnight
Because it's the sound of your voice that brings me home
It's never been easy to say
But it's easier when I've gone away

[Chorus:]
Knowing that you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me

[Bridge:]
What I'd give
What I'd do
Knowing I'm not there for you
Makes it so hard to leave
What I'd give
What I'd do
Anything to get me home to you
And this time I'll stay

And you wait for me
Ever so patiently
Yeah, you're everything I've ever dreamed of having and
It's everything I need from you just knowing that you wait for me


Vanilla Twilight
Owl City

The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake I miss you,
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'll send a postcard to you dear,
Cause I wish you were here.

I watch the night turn light blue,
But it's not the same without you,
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,
The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.

I'll find opposing new ways,
Though I haven't slept in two days,
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
But drenched in Vanilla twilight,
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.

As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
I'll think of you tonight.

When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh darling I wish you were here.


Two Is Better Than One
Boys Like Girls (Ft. Taylor Swift)

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey
You know this could be something
Cause everything you do
And words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And I am left with nothing

So maybe its true
That I cant live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
Cause when i close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

Then maybe its true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
I'm thinking two is better than one
(oh yeah)
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And i thought hey

Maybe it's true
That I cant live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
That I cant live without you
Cause maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I've figured out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one.


I'm Only Me When I'm With You
Taylor Swift

Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.

[Chorus:]
I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world.
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
And I don't try to hide my tears.
The secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say that you can't live without me.

[Chorus]

When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.

[Chorus:]
That I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah


Eight- Dollar Engagement Rings
NeverShoutNever!

We met more than two years back
It's frightning how time can go by so fast that you don't even notice when it's gone
There's something about Ohio that I can't help but love
But sometimes the highway miles seem so long

So don't cry darling
I'll be there in the morning but you know
That the worst part is always heading home

We spend so much time apart
I know sometimes it's hard but girl if there's one thing I'm sure of it is us
Besides we have the small things like eight-dollar engagement rings
To keep us sane till you get on that bus

So don't cry darling
You'll be here in the the morning but you know
That the worst part is always heading home

One day we'll start our new life behind the glow of the pale city lights
In an apartment of our own
It will be so perfect and we'll both know that it was worth the wait
I can hardly wait for that day to come

So don't cry darling
Cause one day every morning we'll both know
That the best is always heading home.


Finale
Nightmare Before Christmas

My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars

And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
We're simply meant to be.


Bring Me To Life
Evanescence

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

Without thought, without voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life



This post has been pretty pointless... but it's cheered me up..

Congratulations on Ni getting a distinction in College yesterday - I'm proud of you baby! xx

I went to my interview with the Sixth Form principal yesterday. Despite having no GCSE's to my name he said its a yes from him to me joining the course... I just need a yes from the Diploma people and I'm good to go! Thanks to all the people who kept me optimistic - Mum, Lynn, Emily, Niall and Buddha - and thanks Emily for those amazing presents you gave me! You really didn't need to... but I really did love them :) You're so sweet.

Mummy, I love spending time with you... I really hope we can do it more often.

I've been working hard on the Godchild script a lot today... and planning a victorian dress for a doll. Does anyone have any pointers at the pattern for the dress? They'd be much appreciated.

Anyway, I'mma gonna go xx

I have spent the last three days prepping for my sixth form interview tomorrow. This involved writing up 5 a3 ostume pages for Earl Cain Hargreaves .... make up designs... a LOT of printing... self assessments ... storyboards... eye drawings .... and my immortal cover pages with notes. I have hand cramp.

Wish me luck for tomorrow... :S

"Maybe It's True, I Can't Live Without You. And Maybe Two Is Better Than One"

"I Found The Cure To Growing Older, And You're The Only Place That Feels Like Home."

Niall is once again staying here - YAY!

He arrived on Thursday the 1st... over a week ago. Nain and Pops were staying to help Mum out with the Middlesborough thing (Grandad is well on the way to recovery and is now back home and as demanding as always) so Nain and Pops took me up to Carlisle to meet him. We went shopping for a few hours (me not having much money so only buying a t-shirt with a Dinosaur on it and a book about the Circus). Nain bought me a Buddha for my birthday.
We went to collect Niall and as always there was the awkwardness of 'have I changed too much? Will he have gone off me?' as I had put on weight. But it was all good in the hood and we came back swiftly and happily (not releasing hands the entire time :G)

Friday 2nd we mooched around the house a bit... Nain and Pops were still here and I spent the day saying 'It's my Birthday tomorrow!!'

Saturday 3rd was my 16th!!
On the Friday night I had stayed up with Niall until 2 minutes past 12 so he could be the first to wish me Happy Birthday (our curfew is 12).
Then I woke up on Saturday morning all excited. I stay in my parents room when Niall comes to stay, so I was alone. I came downstairs and wasn't allowed in the main house, so went to 'wake' Niall up. We cuddled, then came through and Nain and Pops and Dad weren't up, so I sat on the kitchen floor to protest. As tradition in our house, on birthdays we get up bright and early to have croissants and bacon (veggie for me) and open presents.
When everyone EVENTUALLY got up, we opened presents.
I got :
Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Assistant DVD
True Blood (The entire book series)
A grey and black dress
Sims 2 PC Game
Dear Me (Letters to my teenage self) Book
The Dalai Lama Secrets To Enlightenment Book
Tights
All from my Mum and Dad

Fake Snake Print Converse from Devan

Buddha
Perfume
From Nain and Pops

A bag and some lip gloss that tastes like Sprite
from Niall's Mum Elise

Money towards a drama course from Grandad

Money from relatives

A notebook and money from Emily, Lynn and Alan (I feel very priveleged to recieve the first present Emily picked out herself!)

A beautiful Hell Bunny dress from Niall. He seriously spoils me so much!

During the day Niall and I went into town to buy a Lottery ticket... we didn't win though (N)
Lynn and Emily came round to share some cake and have a chat
And then in the evening Mum, Dad, Devan, Niall and I went out for a proper grown up meal. We went to an Italian resaurant and the food was delicious.

Sunday 4th was Easter. Once again we got up bright and early to go outside to see what the Easter Bunny had left us. I love Easter morning and watching Devan's reactions when he discovers all the little groups of chocolate eggs the Bunny leaves. We didn't really do much else during the day.

Monday 5th my Uncle and my Mum's friend came up to stay. Janet is so awesome :L she can make everyone feel happy.
Lynn and Emily came round again and we had a tea party, complete with Eat Me cakes and Jam Tarts... they were DELICIOUS. The birthday cake stuff didn't arrive on time though (N)

Tuesday 6th Niall and I went and volunteered at Oxfam... where my Dad works. I loved it - I got to organise stuff - but Niall was sorta bored and that evening we had our first argument. It really wasn't pleasant... especially as it's Niall and he is truly my world, and he doesn't like 'control freak' Millie... which is bad as she is about 35% me....

Wednesday 7th we went to the Dentist in the morning, then I went and got my NOSE PIERCED!! The guy who did it was really nice, he made me feel not scared. He had an australian/cumbrian accent :L.

Thursday 8th we went into Keswick for shopping. Niall bought me a red spotty teapot!

Friday 9th my Aunt came to stay.

Saturday 10th we went to Penrith shopping. It was so boiling! I found out B&M bargains was my new favourite shop.

Sunday 11th we went to the Car Boot in the morning, and Niall bought some records. Stupidly, one of the records he did pick up but didn't buy because he thought it would have been worthless was worth about £700!

Monday 12th we went to Workington again, this time for shopping. Once again we had another argument that evening because Niall had found the day disappointing because he ran out of money. I hardly ever have money so it doesn't depress me when I'm skint, but Niall gets £30 a week and had none. His depressiveness made me sad... (P.S Happy Birthday Brendon Urie!)

Today - Tuesday 13th - I'm working on my storyboard for my interview!!! It's on Monday and I'm SCARED!

Hope everyones good (Y)

Peace x
