I Am The Mountains, You Are The Sea

Back from Scotland!

The holiday was AMAZING! We got to Ayr on Saturday 3rd and we were all so excited, running around like headless chickens in and out of rooms whilst inspecting them. The caravan itself was okay, but the park was terrible! So rundown and chavvy. We were right opposite a council estate aswell!! They may aswell have painted 'LIVE IN FEAR' on the barbed wire over the park entrance!

On Sunday we didn't do much...
Monday we went to Glasgee!! And spent pree' much the whole day in Primark! I only bought three things for myself though :L. We went in forbidden planet too... wall to wall with Manga Graphic Novels.. I found Niall's Xmas Present though. xD

Tuesday I took Emily to the beach to give Lynn and Alan some time together.

Wednesday we went to Kelburn Castle.. It was AMAZING. It was grafittied, but professionally and it looked brilliant.

They had an amazing forest that was full of little houses; Gingerbread Man, Mr & Mrs Teenie Weenie, the Goblins fort... etc. Crocodile Swamp! And it was so enchanting we spent a good three hours running around. I got stuck at the top of a 5 ft high platform with only rope ladder to aid decent... I have a picture somewhere that I will post soon of me stuck. DON'T LAUGH but when I (eventually) got down it was like I'd just climbed down everest. I was shaking like hell. Lynn was understanding though :L
After the forest thing we went to the Playbarn for Emily and it was amazing! It was deserted of children (cuz it was a school day) so I had a sneaky run around (it was for under 12's). Inside the castle thing it was like a proper palace. And .. they had a death drop slide! Emily was scared about going down it so I went up to push her - allegedly - but then I went down it myself... and IT WAS FUN! I used to be terrified of death drops when I was younger but now I got such a thrill I went on twice more (and promptly burnt my bum :L).

On Thursday we went to Pirate Pete's playbarn but it wasn't a catch on Kelburn Playbarn. Emily soon got bored so we went to an outdoor park and that was AMAZING! Emily befriended a Scottish lass called Lauren and they bonded. The park had everything from swings to roundabouts to GYM EQUIPMENT! I had a go on the walky thing and got stuck ... again. I was actually getting quite panicked at one point when they wouldn't stop and took over my legs! But its cool.. I'm still alive. Just :L.

On Friday we went to Largs, which is a seaside town kinda like Maryport. It was raining though & we got soaked. BUT I did find the last trilogy of the Darren Shan series... books 11, 12 and 13 in one. I'd finished 11 the night before and the trilogy was just under my budget so I was like MINE! Good times. Happy face :).

We came home on Saturday... that was a long and cold journey but we made it back alive. :)

& now I'm sitting in my bedroom listening to Busted and huddling inside my giant Disney jumper against the cold Winter breeze coming through the crack in my window... sigh...

We Are The Children Of The Night, We Are The Children

Where Has Our Childhood Gone?

Where has our childhood gone?

When we held hands and we sang songs?

When we played games of Queens and Kings.

And we 'proposed' with daisy chain rings.

When we could feel safe inside ourselves,

And we weren't just dolls on a forgotten shelf.

When love was just a mystery,

And we had playful bruises on our knees.

When we lived each day with happiness?

And what the future holds was anyones guess.

When we wanted to be astronauts, fire-trucks or royalty.

And our Mums would always cook our tea.

When our curfew was six p.m.

And our Dads were always happy men.

When drugs and booze were just a myth,

And our writing looked like heiroglyphs.

When Santa Claus was God of Gods,

And we never respected what we've got.

When global warming was just a scary story,

And we found the daily newspaper boring.

When teddy bears were our prada bags,

And exams were something our elder siblings had.

When lessons were nothing but ABC,

And finding our toes was our biology.

When the music we liked was Lazytown,

And our favorite outfit was our Disney Princess gown.

When designer labels were 'ELC',

And we were always so darn carefree.

When parties were full of party games,

And we didn't wish our life away.

When we would run and hug our Mums,

And spinning round and round was our idea of fun.

When we were happy to go to school,

And we thought the Teletubbies seriously cool.

When we liked attention from our family,

And we'd teeter in clip-clops so gracefully.

When we were friends with everyone,

Oh, where has this happy childhood gone?

Everybody Knows Theres A Party At The End Of The World

So yeah... nothing much to report except Niall's coming to stay in half term!!! I can't wait! It's been so long! He'll be here for Hallowe'en and we're having a Hallowe'en party for Devan, and then we're gonna watch a scary film with my best friends Thom and Tess... whom I am going to take the time to introduce to you now.

This Hallowe'en will mark me and Thommie being friends for a whole YEAR! We met at Youth Theatre last September and we kinda both got a feeling we were gonna be best friends forever. He's my best friend/basically brother/son :L and I love him to pieces. Thom wants to be an actor, and he is so brilliant at it he'll be famous by the time he's 22, tis my bet. Thom's unique in every way; he's gay and baby does he own it, though you wouldn't know when you met him he was (unless he were being camp). He has a habit of speaking with a Scottish accent and he likes biting people. I <3>

I haven't been friends with Tess long, only since my birthday this year, and again we met through Youth Theatre. She's homeschooled, like me... and because she was bullied, like me. We dont have much in common musicwise, but she's always there when I need her and she helps me a lot when I feel down. She wants to be an actress too, and she's good at acting once she gets passed the nerves. But nevertheless I love her XD.

So yeah, thats them in a nutshell. I can't wait for Niall to come!!! We recently established the words 'forever and always' and it feels so amazing! I need his cuddles again though.. I have withdrawal.

I'm currently working on my Hallowe'en costume, which is going to be Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and Niall's going to be Jack Skellington, which is going to be so CUTE! Thom's going to be Sweeney Todd and Tess is going to be Mrs. Lovett, and Niall's decided to take loads of pictures so there'll be some up at the start of November.
Sally's a ragdoll and her dress is patchwork and I'm making it! :O

So yeah.. thats about it. I'm going to Glasgow with Lynn and Emily on Saturday !! YAY!! Can't wait! I'll be serenading down the motorway on my new Ukulele (named Christofer after Christofer Ingle-Drew, aka, NeverShoutNever!, who plays a Uke in his songs)

This is a long post. I'm going to bed now

Nighty night xxxx

My Weakness Is That I Care Too Much

My 'friend' doesn't seem to be much of a friend right now. She was having a downer earlier about this guy she likes who is 4 years older, so I said 'talk to me about it' and she was like 'stop being patronising'. That really pissed me off and upset me because all I tried to do - all I EVER try to do - is help my friends and ease their suffering by being a shoulder to cry on. Some of them are grateful, but this particular one just takes me for granted. I try to help and all she does is turn her anger on me and make me feel about thimble-size small. I got to the point earlier where I was gonna give up.
And then she went offline for a while, and when she came back I didn't even get an apology! It's the same old story EVERY SINGLE BLOODY TIME! I'm getting SICK of it.
And yet I can't bring myself to end our friendship because I DO love her. She's like a sister to me. And sisters fight, don't they?

Any advice??


In other news... went to the hospital and got blood taken ... and this time I didn't hyperventilate!!! It was amazing!

Anyway... happy birthday Lynn!

Change, Change, Change!

I haven't written for a very long time and I apologise for that. I am currently reporting to you live from my brand spanking new LAPTOP! I sold my drumkit to originally buy a cheapish one off ebay for £150 ... but they were all rubbish, so Grandad chipped in and gave me £140 more to get this brand new one from Currys!
We spent last night putting stuff on it and stressing my dad out something chronic. xD

I've also finished the story I've been working on for a very long time and I'm VERY proud of it (though so far I am the only one who's read it :( )

I've also written several more songs on my DeviantART with the help of my friend Mimi's boyfriend, Austin. Check them out using the link in my blogtitle xD

I'm currently listening to the Pirates Of The Caribbean : At Worlds End Soundtrack (Hans Zimmer is AMAZING) and trying to get motivated to write the rest of the Pirates Of The Caribbean story I've been working on for three years in time to go on holiday with at the start of October. I'd better get a move on really ....
