                <description><![CDATA[ Heyhey! How is everyone?<br /><br />My life's pretty boring atm. Although I am now a graduate (I have 'BSc' after my name! How weird!) I'm not in the big scary world of work yet cos I'm only half way through medicine. So I'm just enjoying my last long summer holiday. But the weather is not cooperating! I mean, mist! In the middle of summer!!?!??!<br /><br />Anyways, weather rant over.<br /><br />I'm trying to get back into drawing but my previous non-existent skills have disintegrated after not really being used for soooo long. So in the mean time you get all my rubbish photos I've taken on my various trips so far this summer <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Sorry for filling up your messages with my comments! I'm trying to get through everything I've missed...got it down to less than 200 deviations now ^_^<br /><br />My pet rat is amusing me for the time being. She's learnt how to open her cage door, but she doesn't escape. She either doesn't go out, or she climbs up to sit on top of the cage for a bit and then goes back in. We reckon she's agoraphobic. Especially cos when you try to take her out, she clings for dear life to the bars on the cage. Once she's out she's fine though! She's also taken to rearranging her 'furniture' in her cage at night. Every day I wake up the cage looks different!<br /><br />So yup, boring life for now. I'm of to see a friend I haven't seen in about a year though so I'm very excited about that!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Hope you're all well!<br />love love love<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...turns out that when your work actually counts towards your degree, uni takes up a LOT of time!<br /><br />But, after a month of exams...I'M FINISHED!!! until September anyways...and ignoring the viva on my project in about a week...but other than that, assuming I managed to pass (a bit iffy at the moment...) I'm guna be a graduate! Wow I feel old saying that. I wasn't expecting to graduate until 2011 but here I am, almost with a degree. Scary...<br />Still only half way through uni though. Another 3 more years to go and I'll be a doctor ^_^ (that's even scarier than saying I have a degree!).<br /><br />I'll be catching up on your amazing art slowly but surely over summer - can't wait to see it all! Sorry for the absence!!<br /><br />Hope you're all doing well <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Write how you discovered your advice.<br />2. Give your advice<br />3. Pass this along to 4 others.<br />4. You can't give the same advice that the person who tagged you gave. Everyone has their own advice to give to others.<br /><br /><br />My course at uni is probably one of the most competitive courses around. Everyone is trying to be the best because then you'll get the best job when you finish at the best hospital in the best city. It's a hard environment to live in, especially as we were all at the tops of our classes at high school. One of my flatmates is finding it particularly hard. She wants to be top of the year, like she was at school. One day she got really upset because results for the midsessional exams came out, and she'd worked so hard over the Christmas holidays to try and get a really good mark. But (and I quote) she "only got 74%". She was really annoyed because she'd tried her hardest and she still (quote again) "did badly". Personally I think 74% is really good. In fact it's pretty amazing for medschool.<br /><br />But it made me think because I'm sure a lot of people are always trying to be the best. But if that's what you're aiming for, you're going to be disappointed most, if not all, of the time. Instead of aiming to be the best out of everybody, why not just try and do the best *you* can. Work hard, not to be better than everyone else, but to fulfil your potential. And if your best is "only 74%" then that's fine. At least you know that you've worked as hard as you could. Measure your achievements by yourself, not by how other people are doing, because everyone is different.<br /><br />So yeah, that's my advice. Hope it helps someone ^_^<br /><br />I tag:<br /><br /><a href="http://treesonabeach.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/r/treesonabeach.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontreesonabeach:" title="treesonabeach"/></a><br /><a href="http://poodlepics.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/poodlepics.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpoodlepics:" title="poodlepics"/></a><br /><a href="http://louleialalouwe.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/o/louleialalouwe.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlouleialalouwe:" title="louleialalouwe"/></a><br /><a href="http://paragon-pariah.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/a/paragon-pariah.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconparagon-pariah:" title="paragon-pariah"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yup, been a looooooong while since  I was last on DA! like, over a year!!<br /><br />been a strange year for me. extremely busy (can't emphasise that enough! at one point i was only getting 3 hours of sleep a night) and quite a hard year for me too. been through a lot of stuff.<br /><br />but now, uni's over for another year (at last!). i find out how much i failed by on 12th june (so i have 2 blissfully ignorant weeks). i'm off home on tuesday - can't wait! london was a bit...claustrophobic? lonely? don't really know how to describe it... but yeah...didn't really want to be in london this year, until friday last week at the end of exams and i could just stroll around at my own pace and have nothing to do but enjoy the sunshine and how pretty it was along the river.<br /><br />there were some other highlights, like getting to see a couple of autopsies!! so cool! and we went back to south africa for 3 weeks over easter after not seeing it for 11 years! definitely the best thing this year!<br /><br />have had no time for drawing/writing (or anything else really) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /> but hopefully my dad can fix my tablet for me when i get home so i can try and draw some more. or if i earn enough over the summer i might buy myself a new one, if this one can't be fixed. then i can finish/draw all those pictures i owe most of you!!<br /><br />i doubt i'm guna get through commenting on all your deviations...but i'll try and get through as many as i can! and at least look at all of them!<br /><br />won't have much time over the summer, though, unfortunately. cos i have to go find a job so i don't have to work during term time again. hopefully be working at toshiba with my dad so i'll get weekends off and 2 weeks off in august. have to have an interview though, scary!!<br /><br />anyways, that's about it for me...lots of things happening, not enough time, the usual malarkey.<br /><br />hope all of you are doing ok! can't wait to see your art and hear what's been going on in your lives!<br /><br />missed you all xXx<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Eek, I've been away from DA for so long that I have soooo many of your wonderful deviations to look at and no time to look at them! So here's a little explanation and a bit of what's happening in the world of Pippa.<br />
<br />
Well, uni is over, for this year at least. Finished about 3, maybe 4 weeks ago...can't remember. Time seems to merge when you've got no routine in your life. Anyways, I got my results and it looks like I'll be back in London next year <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Weird to think I'm a second year medic...especially as I was almost sure I'd have to retake at least one of my exams this summer.  But I passed loads better than I thought I would, I somehow managed to get in the top 24% of my year, lol. (Thanks Connor for getting my results ^_^).<br />
<br />
So yeah. Now I'm back home. And despite my mum promising me on the way back down from London that Plymouth had been predicted at least 5 days of sunshine, it's been raining, non stop ever since I got home. Floods and everything. Although, luckily not in Plymouth. Still, I'm off to the beach on Wednesday, no matter what the weather is ^_^.<br />
<br />
But I've not really been up to much, apart from doing jobs around the house for my mum and trying to get a job to save up money for next year. But so far no luck on that quest.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the reason why I've not been able to see all your beautiful art is because the day after I got back from uni, my dad disconnected me and my sisters from the internet. There's a whole story behind it, but basically it was all because our room was untidy. So now, to get on the internet, I have to use his computer when he's not at home. Which doesn't leave me much time.<br />
<br />
So I promise I'll comment on your work soon, it'll just take me a while. Sorry!!<br />
<br />
Hope all's well with you all and hopefully I'll see some of you soon, or at least talk to you all soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

So, here's how it works:<br />
<br />
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)<br />
2. Put it on shuffle<br />
3. Press play<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ An ickle update on my life was due me thinks <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Well, exams are finally over! Finished on Friday <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> The first one was awful, wouldn't be surprised if I failed it. Then the next two weren't so bad...although there is still the possibility I've failed the 2nd one. Pretty sure I passed the last one though...  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fingerscrossed.gif" width="33" height="15" alt=":fingerscrossed:" title="I've got my fingers crossed." /> I had like 7 cups of coffee in one night trying to cram in soooo many lectures before the last exam, lol! Had no sleep, not that I would've been able to sleep anyway.<br />
So to celebrate the end of exams, I slept <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Oooh! Last weekend...wait I mean the weekend before last...I went to the Royal Horse Show at Windsor with my dad's brother's wife's parents <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> So not my real grandparents...but kinda the same-ish. Anyways, it was so cool! Despite it raining most of the time. They payed for an upgrade of my ticket so I was a member and all we used it for was to get to the places quicker! And I saw the Queen!! Was weird, cos the first time we walked past her, I kinda thought 'I recognise that face...isn't that the Queen?' But I didn't think it'd really be her. Especially as she was wearing an ordinary mac with a scarf thingy over her head...looked look a normal person...except for the load of cameras stalking her. I mean, seriously, leave the poor woman alone! Anyways, so that was a bit unexpected. And we also saw the shetland pony grand national! It's THE funniest thing I've ever seen!! There are all these little kids riding the ponies, and one of them got loose without it's rider and it couldn't be caught so that one had to withdraw. And then when the race started there was one little pony that just avoided all the jumps, lol! I think it must've done a total of 2 jumps...out of I duno how many! But honestly, I've never seen anything like it before! With their little legs going so fast! Made me giggle ^^<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I got roped into exhibiting some of my artwork for Medsin today...the idea is actually laughable, my artwork up for an auction! Anyways, I told her to check this page out and see if she thinks anything is worth it. If not, which is more than likely, I'll be saved from the embarrassment of showing my art to people (is different on the net cos I can't see your immediate reactions <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> ) Other than that, today was a bit of a useless day. Spent most of it waiting around. Someone decided to jump in front of a train at Turnpike Lane tube station, so there were huge delays on the piccadilly line...took half an hour to go 3 stops so in the end I got off and walked...which was a bit of a mission...they say it's signposted well, and then stop signposting after the first signpost!! So in the end I went a really random way round, but I made it by some strange luck, lol! Then I had to rush a cup of coffee in covent garden with a friend but had to run off to london bridge for my SSM meeting, and the tutor never turns up...<br />
<br />
<br />
But my life is good ^_^ I guess after the stress of exams, anything is good lol!<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, the summer house party for the CU at uni is going to Bath for the weekend in a few weeks! Should be amazing! I love Bath, it's such a pretty place ^_^ And the CUs are joining together (there's one for Kings and one for GKT) so some people from my church are guna be going too, which'll be so much fun! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />

I've found a place to stay next year.<br />
It's cheap.<br />
It's close to transport and shops<br />
It's only a few minutes away from the lecture theatre.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Got our test results back from the test last week...<br />
<br />
and somehow I managed to exceed my expectations of around 70%...<br />
<br />
I got 93%! I think they messed up the results somehow...cos I didn't revise nearly enough for that test! Kinda hoping the same thing happens in 2 weeks though!! Cos I'm definitely not ready for those and they're the ones that actually count! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
[DON'T READ THIS NEXT BIT IF YOU DON'T LIKE OR AGREE WITH DISSECTION]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, we had our last dissection today <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Was amazing though! But probably the most sickening one of them all...we had to divide the body in half with a saw, and then saw down between the legs, so that we ended up with 3 pieces...as you can imagine it looked (and sounded!) pretty disgusting. And slightly amusing to see everyone in the dissection room holding the bodies' legs up in the air as they cut down! I think I'm slowly getting a medical sense of humour...you know how they always find things funny that other people not in that profession wouldn't...not that my sense of humour was normal to begin with <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />

[OKAYS, YOU CAN LOOK NOW <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />]<br />
<br />
Anyways, that was my day today ^_^ Quite fun. Now I'm going to finish revising metabolism....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First day back after holidays and there's an exam!!<br />
Well, it was a 30minute test, but still! FIRST DAY BACK! Meanies <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Anyways, it actually went quite well, much better than I expected, seeing as I probably did a total of 3-4hours revision over the holidays...<br />
<br />
We've been told which SSM we got given for this year and I managed to get my first chice: "What is the evidence that smoking cannabis can contribute to developing<br />
schizophrenia?"<br />
Hehe, should be interesting.<br />
<br />
Also got an email saying my application to live in halls has not been successful. So now I'm desperately searching for a room somewhere, anywhere in London! Which is guna be so expensive and I'm so not guna be able to afford it and food. Oh well, at least I'll get thin.<br />
<br />
There is still a chance that I'll get into halls though, cos I've been put on the waiting list...so we shall see. Maybe I'll be able to afford food after all.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I really should update this journal more often...<br />
<br />
My life is going well. Very well, in fact, at the moment. Many many things making me happy right now:<br />
<br />
1) Found out a way to do ballet for free in London! I thought I'd have to give it up because it's soooo expensive in London, but our halls have squash courts, which are actually alright to do ballet in - if a little dirty and lacking a barre. So a friend and I are guna start using it and just teach ourselves. Well...I've done 2 of the grades that I have music for already, but ages and ages ago so it's just refreshing my memory but advanced 1 I have to teach myself... Should be great fun <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I love ballet! I really missed it the first term at uni, so it's good that I'm finally getting to dance again.<br />
<br />
2) Just come back to uni from a lovely reading week which involved no reading ^_^ I probably should have done some work, but it was so nice to get some rest and a break from everything. Saying that, it's good to be back in halls. Somehow the quiet at home has become unnerving since living up here. At home there are no 3am banging on doors or, if I've forgotten to take my door off the latch - which is most nights, random wanderings of friends into my room at some unknown hours of the morning or the person opposite me playing their music on full so that my bed shakes with the beat or someone throwing mini cheddars at my window and then proceeding to pass me a mars bar through it randomly. I've become accustomed to the background noise of halls. And it's great <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
3) We're going to make pancakes tomorrow! For pancake day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And we're guna have to make lots cos unfortunately they don't sell single eggs or small packets of flour, so I think if we used all the eggs we'd make 48 pancakes...still it's guna be so much fun! And we'll probably make a huge mess and still have pancakes dropping off the ceiling onto people's heads in July <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
4) I'm off to Polzeath for the weekend (Polzeath=beach in North Cornwall. Cornwall=tip of south west England=most amazing place for beaches ^_^). Unfortunately, I have an exam the Monday afterwards so I'll have to spend the time revising. But revising sitting on a beach sounds so much better than revising sat in a box (box=my room at uni). Less distractions in a box, but definitely not as fun as a beach!<br />
<br />
5) I thought I was £300 into my overdraft - which isn't good. But I just checked it and somehow I'm only £100 overdrawn!! Duno how that happened! Also I have £70 extra in my savings account which I don't remember ever putting in there. So some nice surprises <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
So yeah, happyhappyhappy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
(and before you ask, no I have not had any coffee or tea or caffeine today <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />. Wow, actually that must be a record since coming to uni! I normally can't get through the day without some form of caffeine <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />)<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, Lent soon! Let's hear what you're giving up - if anything <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
Sarah and I are thinking of fasting for Lent. Everyone else thinks we're crazy. But personally, I think it's a good idea. Ok, not healthwise, but it's only for 40 days, and it's not even a solid 40 days of fasting cos we can eat on Sundays. But yeah, I think it'd be really good for my faith and getting fully focussed on God.<br />
<br />
Anyways, it's late and I should be sleeping.<br />
Hope everyone's life is going well!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1) They've given us a bus stop. In the middle of our halls. One day, coming back from lectures we saw it there. Apparently it's the smoking 'hut' that they'd been promising all term cos they've changed the rules this year so that you're not allowed to smoke anywhere in halls apart from outside. (Just to clarify - I don't smoke, never have never will, would be a bit hypocritical for a doctor to smoke <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />)<br />
<br />
2) So the bus shelter has been here for a couple of weeks, and about 3 or 4 days ago, a toilet turns up in it.<br />
<br />
3) Was woken up yesterday morning by the fire alarm going off. Apparently someone tried to set the fire detector on fire. Nice people I live with, huh?<br />
<br />
Those are just the few that have happened in the past few weeks. Thought you'd like to know just to prepare you for uni life <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Seriously, you did NOT want to go in there... I actually started using the toilets on the floor above - and I'm usually a very lazy person - that's how bad they were!<br />
<br />
I would describe them, but some of you might be eating while reading this and I don't want to put you off your food.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Been meaning to do this for ages and ages. But the first couple of weeks at uni is crazily busy, but tons of fun, so I've only got round to it now.<br />
<br />
Its only been 2 weeks and I already have 2 new nicknames. Pipski and Pipsicle. Yay.<br />
<br />
Just found out I have the whole of tomorrow off! Whaaaaaaa!! *is soooo happy* *dances madly around room*<br />
<br />
Right, first off, halls:<br />
My room is an actual prison cell: breeze block walls painted a kinda grayish-blue colour, chair, desk, bed, wardrobe, basin and a couple of bookshelves on the wall. I am one of the fortunate few to have a small reddish (or at least was once that colour.a long time ago) rug in my room. However, its on the ground-floor so moving in was really easy, especially as its near the main entrance to Danehurst (my block. Its one of three: Platanes - aka Plats  where most of the postgrads are placed, but some undergrads are there too; Cameron  some parts being refurbished this year, probably because it was illegal to have students living in those types of conditions and Danehurst  obviously the best block, lol. Well, technically it is, because Plats is haunted and Cameron is really really bad.)<br />
Also, my doors yellow. Guess thats their way of trying to brighten the place up.<br />
I do, however, have a mini-fridge in my room. Very very useful!! Also, not technically meant to have a kettle in my room, but Ive smuggled one in! I just hide it in the wardrobe when the cleaner comes on Tuesday  a cool Jamaican lady called Jane ^_^.<br />
<br />
People:<br />
Everyones soooo lovely!! My neighbours called Vicky, from Devon, same as me. Shes doing medicine, same as me. And her birthdays the same as mine (except a few years earlier)! Then theres Megan, from 6 miles away from our halls. Opposite her is Sarah, from Devon as well. Shes doing medicine too. Then just around the corner is Claire, from Manchester.<br />
There are a few guys on the other side of Danehurst who weve made good friends with. Sam is doing medicine, too. Alex is doing computer science. Nic is doing biomedical chemistry. Conors doing war studies. And Dannys doing maths and physics. Then theres a guy upstairs called Rory, whos doing physiotherapy. Hes from Plymouth!! He went to DHSB for a bit. Weird, huh?! (I went to DHSG - the girl version of DHSB, just for those of you who've no idea what I'm going on about)<br />
KCL has this thing where there are a few senior students in the halls, one per corridor, who are usually in their second year, and are here to help us, if necessary, and to keep the rules. All of them are absolutely amazing and such lovely people, except the one on my corridor, called Joe. He hasnt actually said a word to us since weve been here. Where as all the others talk to us all the time.<br />
<br />
Freshers fortnight: <br />
Loads of things were happening. But I only went to 2; badge party and beach party. All the others didnt sound that great or were sold out or I had lectures the next day. Badge party was fun. Instead of making badges with our names on, like youre supposed to, our group bought tops and drew on them with permanent markers <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> . For the beach party (no we didnt go to a beach, London doesnt have very many of those) you had to dress up in beach wear. So, as predicted, the girls went in bikinis and so did the guys. Well, the guys in our group did, anyway.<br />
KCH (Kings College Hall - the halls I'm staying in for my first year) held a pyjama party in the common room/bar. Which was so good. Its actually the best type of party ever invented! You wear your most comfiest clothes you own, i.e. your pyjamas, then, when the party finishes, or when youre tired, you just walk back to your room and flop on the bed. No need to change, or do anything! Straight from party to bed. Fantastic!! ^^<br />
On Friday it was Samis 21st birthday, and hed hired out this really posh bar in central London. Everyone had to dress up smart. Was really fun, except now my feet hurt cos they made me wear my yr11 prom shoes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Was also meant to go out with my friends on Saturday, but I felt really ill, so I stayed in bed instead. TIP: Take loads and loads of vitamins and eat lots of oranges in the first few weeks!! Freshers flu is not nice!  Recommend taking Berocca if you do get ill though. Its doing me wonders ^_^<br />
Sunday I went church with a friend. And it was really cool. Theyd outgrown their original building, so they now meet in Piccadilly Theatre. Its really surreal. But the people are all amazing, and so friendly!<br />
Ive joined the CU. Also joined the surgical society, which is a society for people who are thinking about being a surgeon (obviously). Its really good. They do st... ]]></description>

"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"<br />
<br />
Answer: BOTH! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Cos if it was the egg it would have a chicken inside it, and if it was a chicken it would have an egg inside it ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Most people seem to be giving updates on how their summer went, so I thought I should probably do the same, seeing as I haven't been very active on DA for quite some time.<br />
However, most people have a better memory than me....so I can't remember half the stuff I've done <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
So here's the few things that I remember:<br />
<br />
FINISHED EXAMS!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Best feeling in the world ^^<br />
<br />
<br />
BALLET EXAM<br />
Very very scary, seeing as I really didn't feel like I was ready and it's a really hard exam, taken by people who want to do ballet professionally or want to teach (not that I do, but my mum - who's also my ballet teacher - wanted me to get this exam before uni so I have something to fall back on if medicine fails)<br />
<br />
Anyway, I got my results the other week. And I passed!! I was soooo happy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And I passed with a merit!, which is the second highest you can get ^^ Was not expecting that at all! So, yeah, I was very very pleased <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
ETTY<br />
Had a cream tea with Etty and Karri in town cos Etty (who's now in Vietnam) wanted to do English things before she left for a year. We also ended up climbing a tree <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
PARTY #1<br />
Connor had a field party near Etty's house. Which was amazing! Despite the gale force winds and heavy rain, which caused the wet tent to keep blowing on us while we tried to sleep. Most of the people were clever and went back to the house, but Connor and I braved the storm, lol. And then finally remembered that there was a car a few metres away which was much warmer than a tent <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
DRIVING TEST<br />
Took it just before going on holiday with my family. And I passed, with just 2 minors <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />. Again, I really didn't expect that.<br />
<br />
<br />
SCOTLAND<br />
Went driving around Scotland for around 4 days with my family. Went to Glen Coe, Isle of Skye, Kilravock Castle and I can't remember where else... Was good <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Loved staying in the castle <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> If I ever get married, I think I want to have the wedding there. It's beautiful.<br />
On the way back down to Plymouth, I was allowed to drive <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> On motorways, only a week after passing my test! That was fun <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
CORNWALL<br />
The next week after Scotland I went to Cornwall with my family. We always have a holiday every year with my aunt and uncle and cousin, and my Gran comes up from South Africa. This years holiday was ok. COuld have been better, but there were some highlights, like seeing the Minack Theatre (YOU HAVE TO GO THERE!!).<br />
<br />
<br />
RESULTS<br />
Went back to school for the last time ever to pick up my results. Told you all about that in my last journal, so I won't bore you again! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
PARTY #2<br />
Went to Etty's house for her 17th-birthday-18th-birthday-leaving-for-a-year party <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Stayed an extra night before to help her prepare (which involved mucking out the paddock where she held the party. Was a great party <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Had pretty fairy lights and everything ^_^ And most of our friends were there and I met some really lovely people there <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"... ]]></description>

<br />
4 As and a B (the B in general studies, lol!)<br />
<br />
Yay! I'm going to London, and I'm guna be a doctor ^^<br />
<br />
Just before I got my results my friend texted me this verse: Proverbs 16v3<br />
<br />
For those who don't have a Bible handy, it says:<br />
"Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."<br />
<br />
And just now I've found a verse from the same chapter that I underlined in my Bible a while ago:<br />
"Whoever listens to what is taught will succeed, and whoever trusts the Lord will be happy." Proverbs 16v20<br />
<br />
Just thought those were nice verses to share at this time with loads of people getting results <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Hope everyone's results go well ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm back, at last, from my holidays, lol. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
The first one was a few days travelling all round Scotland, with my Aunt and grandparents - who all live in Scotland. It was really cool, despite the rainy/cloudy weather. The last day was especially fun. I got to stay in a castle!! With a huge fourposter double bed all to myself ^_^. And not only that, but I'm related (very very very very very distantly) to the baroness who owns it! It's Kilravock Castle of the Rose clan (pronounced 'Kil-rawk'...weird, I know) incase anyone's ever been there....highly doubtful cos it's not very well known. Although Mary Queen of Scots stayed there once. So I learnt quite a bit of my family history from my mum's side of the family. It was really interesting too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Then last week I was in Cornwall in Bochym Manor with my gran and aunt and uncle and cousin. It was also quite good. The weather was much better! And the place had huge gardens to walk round in with loads peacocks roaming free and rabbits ^_^ They were so cute! Especially the baby ones <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> While I was there I went to see the Minack Theatre. If you're ever in Cornwall somewhere near to Land's end or even Penzance, you should definitely make the effort to see the theatre, even better would be to see a play there. But just to look round is amazing!! It's an open air theatre, carved into the cliff, and looking right over the sea. It's stunning!!<br />
<br />
Anyways, before the holidays I had my driving test, which I passed <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> With only 2 minors!! I was not expecting that, so it was a really nice surprise <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
And now my results for my A2 levels come out in 5 days...so I find out whether I can go to uni or not in 5 days... Slightly scary...<br />
<br />
Should find out my ballet exam results soon too. Not looking forward to those either.<br />
<br />
Still, not much I can do about them except wait.<br />
And party of course!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I have at least 3 parties lined up for the next 2-3 weeks ^_^ Should be good <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Had my prom yesterday ^^<br />
<br />
Was great <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> My mum finished making my dress by 3pm, so it was done just in time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I got to see most people from school for probably the last time, except maybe results, and excluding all my good friends, which was really nice <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Lots of fun ^^<br />
<br />
Except I got forced to dance a few times...not so good. But yeah, was a great night <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Also got myself a job for a short time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Working at a pre-school. Silly me said I could work my first shift this morning....meaning I had about 6 hours sleep, if that, before looking after a dozen little kids for 3 hours. But they're all so adorable!! So it went really well ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, things are slowly starting to get better.<br />
<br />
Finally managed to talk with my bf and sort of sort things out. It just got a bit difficult with our very different lives, so we're breaking up. I think we just drifted apart. It's not the ending I would've liked, but it was quite a nice break up, and we're still guna stay friends.<br />
<br />
Well, we both say that, but I think, and this is really weird for me to imagine, that the sad fact is that we'll probably never see each other again. Maybe once or twice in the holidays this summer, but after that, we'll both be at different universities and he lives so far away from me when we're both back home for holidays that we'll probably never get to see each other.<br />
<br />
It's just such a strange thought for me, after being so close, we just drift apart as if the last 6 months never happened.<br />
<br />
But I suppose it's all for the best.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This week, looked like it was going to be a disaster. I had 5 exams out of the 6 that I had left. And I hadn't really revised enough for any of them. But chemistry yesterday went ok - well I reckon I got the B I need to get into medschool. And biology today I found alright, almost quite good. Although I'm kinda worried cos most people thought it was really hard. So I might have got all of it wrong. But still I'm not worried that much about it cos I have millions of spare marks from my other biology modules.<br />
<br />
Also turns out that everyone found the 2 maths exams almost impossible to do, so hopefully they'll lower the grade boundaries and I'll still get my A that I need to get into medschool.<br />
<br />
So all's good-ish for the moment <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yup...this is guna be a bit of a moan, because I've had a rubbish-ish few days and I need to get it all out, and this way people can read it if they want or not bother. Either way is fine, I just need to ramble and rant for a bit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, everything was going great. Revising out in the garden, sun nice and hot, happy happy happy. Life was good, nothing too bad happening. And then my bf has a bad day, as in a really bad day. Something between his friends and him, i think (don't really know details).<br />
<br />
So he comes online, and I'm like, yay! cos he goes to college far away, so the only way we can really talk is on msn. (this is when I have no idea about what's happened). Then he says he's feeling terrible cos he had an awful day. And somewhere along the conversation I manage to upset him even more. Completely accidentally, was a misunderstanding (easy to do on msn cos you can't read body language and hear tone of voice). and suddenly he goes offline. So now I'm feeling awful cos a) he's really upset and b) I've managed to upset him even more.<br />
<br />
I asked my friend what I should do and she told me to give him space, and wait for him to contact me. So I refrain from texting him to say sorry, cos she said I hadn't got anything to be sorry about cos it wasn't my fault and he just had to vent his anger on someone. He comes online again. Doesn't say anything to me. I obey my friend and don't say anything to him, despite the fact that I had a really really strong feeling that I should say something, cos it hurts me to see him hurting, especially when I've caused some of it. Anyway, his net gets switched off at 11pm, and he'd only come back online at 10:55 so there probably wasn't much time to talk, but I still really felt like I should say something. I thought if I didn't, he may think I was angry with him for being angry at me when I "hadn't done anything wrong", according to my friend (even though I felt like I had). I felt like he'd come online again to give me an opportunity to say something to him. But I didn't, I listened to my friend's advice.<br />
<br />
So then I leave it until the next day. I go to church. He still hasn't texted me after church. Now I'm starting to panic (I always worry about everything). What if he hates me? What do I do to get him to forgive me? How do I convince him that I didn't mean it like it sounded to him? I talked to my friend at church (a different one to before) and she said, just do what I'd normally do. If I'd normally contact him, then do it. So I texted him, saying sorry and hope everything gets sorted out. No reply.<br />
<br />
Sunday's usually the day that we get to talk quite a bit on msn, cos he doesn't have any lessons. But this Sunday I had to go to my dad's work thing. Something about their 25th anniversary of Toshiba in Plymouth. My dad had put my name down for this laser quasar thingy outdoors, without asking me. So I had no choice, I had to go. Even though I wouldn't know anyone there apart from my family. and I'm not so good at meeting new people and making friends. Not only would I rather have stayed at home so I could talk things through with my bf, but I also had a maths exam the next day which I wasn't ready for at all.<br />
<br />
But I went, out of duty. And it was kinda fun. The laser thingy anyway. Despite our team losing the whole tournament. So that ended after about 10 minutes for me. Watched a few of the other rounds, but it's not quite the same watching as playing. Then played volleyball, but both teams weren't exactly brilliant, and I'm useless at it, so that wasn't so much fun. Just kept having to run after the ball, instead of getting a good rally (not sure if that's the right word) going.<br />
<br />
This thing started at 2pm, and we only left at about 8pm. So playing laser battle field (I think that's what it was called) and volleyball took about 30 minutes out of the whole time, the rest of the time I just sat around not doing much, cos there wasn't really much to do. Was ok though, cos I love watching people. Not like stalking them or anything. I'm just interested in the way different people act and react to different people and things. And there were loads of little kids, which are sooo cute. Most had their faces painted which added to the cuteness. But watching people for 5 1/2 hours isn't so much fun after a while. Anyway, in the end we dragged my dad and sister away using the argument that both me and my sister have exams the next day, and get home around 8pm.<br />
<br />
Still no reply from him. Now I'm really worried, cos I haven't heard from him since we 'argued-ish' the night before. It's made worse by the fact that I really have no idea what's happening at his college, and why he's not talking to me, and why he's so upset (cos I only really know vaguely what's happened, no details at all). I also think I missed my chance to ask what happened between him and his friends so I'm n... ]]></description>

<br />
List 6 weird habit of yours:<br />
<br />
1. I laugh a lot....at anything...especially when someone says sockets...<br />
<br />
2. Almost every single joint in my body clicks or pops or makes one sound or another, even when just doing normal things, like walking.<br />
<br />
3. About once a month I decide I need to do more exercise and I go for a long run through the woods.<br />
<br />
4. I have no sense of smell, so I constantly ask people what things smell like.<br />
<br />
5. Even though I've been doing ballet for over 15 years, I still never dance in public, like in clubs and stuff...<br />
<br />
6. K, last one...ummm...I worry a LOT about everything, no matter how small or insignificant.<br />
<br />
Woohoo, done <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I tag the following people:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sibbers.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/i/sibbers.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="sibbers" /></a><br />
<a href="http://ekibohc.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/k/ekibohc.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="ekibohc" /></a><br />
<a href="http://amore-e-dolore.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="amore-e-dolore" /></a><br />
<a href="http://goosesoup.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/goosesoup.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="goosesoup" /></a><br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Well, now that's out of the way...<br />
I still haven't been sleeping terribly well, although it is getting better, I think. So thank you for all the hints and tips <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Had my first exam last Tuesday; Physics practical. Went alright I think. Not much I can do about it now anyway, so I just have to hope.<br />
<br />
On friday, it was my last day of school ever!! I never have to go back, apart from the 11 exams I have left <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
Slightly scary...but I can't wait to go to uni and live in London for 5 years <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (assuming I get the grades... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> )<br />
<br />
So now I should be able to do more art cos I'll have more time. But, DA is being silly! Every time I try and submit a new piece, I can only get to the second page after saying it's a deviation I wana submit, cos when I click on what type of deviation there's no continue button. Very annoying.<br />
<br />
Anyways, enough from me. Hope everyone's having a great week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Does anyone know how to make yourself get to sleep when you can't? Cos for the last month, I've either not been able to get to sleep until around 2am, or I've been waking up every hour during the night. Which is affecting my school work and mood lots, cos I'm exhausted! A few people have told me some ways, but I've tried them all and they only work for a few days and then I'm back to not being able to get to sleep. So yeah, any ideas would be helpful. Exams are coming up soon and I really need to be 100% when they come. Thanks <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I'm having a slight case of artist block cos I can't think of anything to draw. So I was wondering if anyone would like me to do a portrait of themselves, like I did with me and my friend Harriet. I usually find that it helps me to gain inspiration. And I really like doing portraits, even though I've only ever done a few.<br />
So yeah, if you want one, just send me a photo of yourself <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
Oh, and if you want it done in a special way, like traditional instead of digital, or multicoloured, like my Aung San Suu Kyi one, just say. I'll be happy to try anything <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Hope everyone's doing ok <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

<br />
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.<br />
Italian dictionary (no idea what it's doing on my desk, I haven't used it for 2 years): "subnormal person" (the italian word for that is anormale, incase people wanted to know <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> )<br />
<br />
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can.<br />
This weird magnet thingy entitled "Cornish Quips" that my sister got that says "Orrite my luvver?" and has a picture of this old guy smiling a bit too enthusiastically. It's quite creepy really. <br />
<br />
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?<br />
Haven't watched TV in ages.<br />
<br />
4. Without looking, guess what time it is :<br />
16:03<br />
<br />
5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time ?<br />
15:58 (not bad!)<br />
<br />
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear ?<br />
Rain <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
7. When did you last step outside ? What were you doing ?<br />
Coming home from a ballet class.<br />
<br />
8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at ?<br />
Finished colouring in a pic of me<br />
<br />
9. What are you wearing ?<br />
Jeans and t-shirt<br />
<br />
10. Did you dream last night ?<br />
I don't really remember any dreams I have. I did have a dream once about a plate of sushi. I was really disappointed when I woke up and found that it wasn't real. That's the last dream I remember having.<br />
<br />
11. When did you last laugh ?<br />
This morning. Although the last time I had a really bad laughing fit was at the science museum last Tuesday. I laughed for about 15 minutes about nothing in particular. But that's normal for me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in ?<br />
posters, little TV, a cute little spider in the corner...<br />
<br />
13. Seen anything weird lately ?<br />
yeah, a photo of me.<br />
<br />
14. What do you think of this quiz ?<br />
It's a way of avoiding doing revision <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
15. What is the last film you saw ?<br />
Constant Gardener. Got it cos I was reading the book, but the book was soooo tedious! So I gave up and watched the film instead. Much much better than the book.<br />
<br />
16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy ?<br />
A big turnip of my own <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know<br />
I don't have a sense of smell.<br />
<br />
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics<br />
everyone would live a happy life. Too many of my friends have big problems in their lives and it's really upsetting.<br />
<br />
19. Do you like to dance ?<br />
Hmmm...I don't like to dance in public. I'm too selfconscious. But I can do ballet.<br />
<br />
20. George Bush<br />
Hehe, he's funny. Didn't he say "All our imports come from overseas" ? Or something similar.<br />
<br />
21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her ?<br />
I don't want children. Too much responsibility. But as we're in the realm of imagination here I'll go really wild and name her Alex <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him ?<br />
Bob <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> I've always wanted to meet someone called Bob...duno why...<br />
<br />
23. Would you ever consider living abroad ?<br />
YES! I wana live in Italy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And I lived in South Africa til I was 9.<br />
<br />
24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates ?<br />
He could give me a hug? I like hugs <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
25. 4 people who must also do this in THEIR journal :<br />
Uhhhh....whoever wants to ^^<br />
I feel mean making other people do it if they don't want to. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ (Sorry, long journal...Most of it uninteresting too. Don't read if you don't wana)<br />
<br />
Whoo, it's sunny! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Spent all yesterday afternoon in my back garden attempting to get a bit less luminous so everyone's not blinded when they look at me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
It's so nice being able to wear skirts again ^^ I even bought myself a new bikini to celebrate the sunnyness <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Anyways, on a more serious note, I'm guna be submitting art again on DA, cos someone gave me quite good advice bout it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> I'll still keep my sheezyart account as well though, but there'll be no difference in the galleries. Hehe, and you all thought you'd never have to cringe at my work again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
My tablet pen also decided to return to me after having its adventures behind my desk <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> So I'll be colouring in the pic of me soon. Don't know what possessed me to do a self-portrait. I must've been really bored and uninspired.<br />
<br />
It's the holidays now ^^ I'm meant to be revising lots and doing a ton of work we got set for school...but it's so sunny at the moment I'm probably guna spend the days outside <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Went to London last week for a school physics trip. Was great! We went to the Science Museum on the first day. I've got a female brain apparently, which is good to know <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> My friend, Karri, has got a male brain and Richard has a female brain, which is very worrying...<br />
Then when we reached the youth hostel where we were guna spend the night, our coach reversed into a truck! Whilst we were on it! Was quite funny though, cos we were sat at the back and we were shouting and screaming "Stop!" and "Truck!" but the coach driver took no notice and went straight into the windscreen of the truck. The brake light on our coach was smashed and the back was a bit dented, but you should've seen the truck! The whole windscreen was smashed!<br />
Then we went to Thorpe Park the next day, after a night of playing Twister <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> (You should see the photos, lol).<br />
Our group decided to get the water rides over with at the beginning, which was probably a good idea, cos Tidalwave soaks you! I was drenched from head to toe! I could actually ring my jumper out I was so wet <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> But then I had to spend the rest of the day wet. Although the rollercoasters dried me out a bit. Some people made the mistake on going on Tidalwave last...they had to spend the coach journey down in wet clothes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> Anyway, so that was fun <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Whooo! No coursework ever again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I handed in my last piece of coursework last friday <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> *does celebratory dance*<br />
<br />
Oh that reminds me, I'm having to learn jitterbug dancing for church *hides head in shame* I dont do that sort of dancing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But it's for the murder mystery night we're having to raise money for people going on short-term mission next year. So, I'll be making a fool of myself for a good cause, lol.<br />
<br />
Eek! I have my driving theory test on thursday! Should probably start learning some of the theory...<br />
Yeah, I'll leave you in peace from my ramblings <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
Hope you're all well ^^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I've joined sheezyart now, under the same name as here. So if you're a member there too feel free to tell me and I'll watch you there as well.<br />
DA is starting to make me mad. The number of artists who are leaving because of what DA has done to them is increasing all the time. And DA has no excuse for its actions. Real people use this site, not just faceless names that appear on the screen. They deserve respect. Besides, it makes no sense to be disrespectful to them. If noone used this site then DA wouldn't exist. They should be grateful people still use this site.<br />
This is just one example of how DA treats their users: <a href="http://bidujador.deviantart.com/journal/7900693/">[link]</a> I might join him in his move to sheezyart permenantly. They didn't ask first or give any warning before they just removed some of his art which supposedly showed some things it shouldn't have, when in reality they were fine. It's the least they could've done, and then if he didn't respond to their requests or warnings, then they could remove them. It's no way to treat a person.<br />
So yeah, I might just post my art on sheezyart instead, but stay here to comment on people's art, like <a href="http://bidujador.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/i/bidujador.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="bidujador" /></a> is doing. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello! It's been a while since I wrote something.<br />
I've been so busy recently. I had exams through January, two of which were good, and the other two we won't mention...And then I've been off round the country for interviews at universities. Also had coursework and a ton of homework as well as having to practice a dance for the school dance production and ballet classes three times a week. And then there's all my friends' 18th birthday parties. So I've been a busy little bee. Anyway, I just thought I'd apologise for not commenting on everyone's work. Because I've been so busy and I haven't been able to go on DA everyday to catch up with my messages, I just keep getting more and more, so the few short times that I can quickly go on DA don't really let me comment on every pic. But I promise I'll look at them all even if I don't have time to comment on all 323 of them (I watch too many people). So please don't be offended that I haven't been commenting on your work. It's all fantastic ^^ I just don't have the time anymore to say it to everyone individually.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody!<br />
I hope all is well <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
Sorry for not being on DA very much, just been extremely busy.<br />
Had two univeristy interviews; one at King's College London and one at Sheffield uni. They were both quite fun, I especially loved travelling to the uni's <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (I love travelling ^^) I haven't heard from Sheffield yet cos the interview was only on Friday (and it didn't go very well so I probably haven't got the place), but I GOT INTO KING'S!!!!!!!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I'm going to study medicine in London!! - if I choose it, which I probably will cos I doubt I'm guna get any more offers. So, yeah! I'm going to London next year!!!<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> and they offered me AABD which is actually achievable for me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> So I'm happy on that account ^_^<br />
<br />
Also been busy with school. Which is self-explanatory.<br />
<br />
And then I've had to try and sort out my life and figure out all the complications. Sooo much has happened recently since some of my friends started going out on fridays. It's all getting so confusing and more and more complicated. I'm getting to the point were all I wana do is hibernate until it's all sorted and it's safe for me to reappear. But then I'd miss Christmas and my birthday...<br />
<br />
I'm guna be 18 in 2 weeks!!! Scary thought actually....I'm guna have to be responsible...hehehe<br />
<br />
Oh, just two random thoughts that popped into my head due to lack of sleep and not wanting to think about stuff that's happened over the last two/three weeks:<br />
You know evolution? Well why did animals with 4 or more legs evole into animals with 2 legs? Surely it's better to have 4 legs? You can run faster, balance more easily so surely 4 legged animals would survive better than 2 legged animals? So if apes did evolve into humans, then the humans would die out before a population could be established.<br />
And also, why aren't apes still evolving into humans now? It must have taken more than two apes to turn into humans and have a population as large as this one. So why don't we see half ape/half man animal things anywhere?<br />
<br />
Anyway, just random thoughts. If anyone had answers though, it'd be cool to hear them.<br />
<br />
Oh, I have about 200 messages on DA, mainly people's wonderful art and journals account for 79 of the messages so I'm really sorry if I don't comment on your pic/journal for ages. I'll try and catch up during the holidays, but it's a busy time for me with exams in January and lots of other stuff too.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is enjoying the lead up to Christmas or other religious festivals around this time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />
Sorry if there are any typing errors. I'm too sleepy to check.<br />
<br />
Oooh! Almost forgot! I'm halfway to 1000 pageviews <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Thanks you guys ^^ your comments make my day so much happier <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I thought I needed a new journal entry...and I'm procrastinating cos I don't wana revise for a chemistry test I might have tomorrow...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
But I didn't really know what to write, so I thought I'd put up my song I wrote/finished writing. My friend's friend started the first verse and chorus but never finished it, so I made up the rest while I was off school. It's for the guitar but can be played on the piano I suppose. Excuse my terrible song writing abilities, I'm not one for words. Oh, it turned out really sad, so I'm sorry <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> but the tune kinda suits the sadness...ish... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I called it Rain, cos I couldn't think of a better title, and the tune is kinda like rain falling down...Better title suggestions would be cool <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Anyway, the song: <br />
<br />
My reflection in the window.<br />
A guitar lying in my arms.<br />
Nothing but darkness through the window<br />
And here I sit, wondering where you are.<br />
<br />
So I'll play.<br />
So I'll play my crying tune on this guitar.<br />
So I'll play.<br />
So I'll play my crying tune on this guitar.<br />
<br />
A light shining through the darkness,<br />
The front door opens, you're standing there.<br />
The colours fading in the darkness<br />
And as I watch, you disappear.<br />
<br />
So I'll play.<br />
So I'll play my crying tune on this guitar.<br />
Yeah I'll play.<br />
I'll play my crying tune on this guitar.<br />
<br />
You were all I needed,<br />
I didn't know what I had.<br />
Then you were gone, I am defeated.<br />
I wish you could come back.<br />
<br />
My reflection in the window.<br />
A guitar lying in my arms.<br />
Nothing but darkness through the window<br />
And here I sit, watching the rain fall<br />
<br />
So I'll play.<br />
So I'll pay your dying tune on my guitar.<br />
So I'll play.<br />
So I'll pay your dying tune on my guitar.<br />
<br />
Hope you all like it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everybody ^^<br />
I hope everyone's doing alright and school/work isn't getting people down.<br />
This is just a short jornal cos I thought I better put a shorter one on than my last entry. <br />
My UCAS application has been sent off at last! Now all I have to do is wait and see if any universities accept me *crosses fingers*<br />
I've applied to Cardiff, Bristol, Sheffield and Kings College. I hope I get into Cardiff! It's my favourite one out of all of them. But everyone wants to go to Cardiff; some for the fact that Wales isn't having top-up fees until 2007 and some because Cardiff uni and the city itself is soooo amazing! And almost all the people applying for medicine at my school have applied to Cardiff....with medicine already being so competitive I don't think I'll be asked for even just an interview, let alone offered a place. (Please don't comment saying you're sure I'll get a place, cos that adds more pressure to getting an offer)<br />
But yeah, UCAS is done, and I can't do anything more about it. Which is good.<br />
Now all I have to worry about is my biology coursework and a biology essay.<br />
I thought I'd given up all the essay subjects, but guess what, biology has a synoptic essay in the exam in June, so we're getting set essays for practice. And I can't write essays <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Enough complaining from me. Some happy stuff...<br />
Anya (my puppy) is finally learning what's right and wrong ^^ Although, now she just runs and hides behind the sofa when she's been naughty XD She's too clever for her own good! And too cute! You can't help but forgive her when she runs up to you after doing something wrong. She's a great footwarmer <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /> When you're standing still or sitting down, she'll come up to you and curl herself in a little ball and lie on your feet! It's adorable! She just loves people!<br />
Ooooh! I almost forgot! I GOT A GAPHICS TABLET!!!!!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> my dad bought it for my 18th birthday present, but decided to give it to me 3 months early XD! 'm not very good on it yet....but hopefully I'll be able to practice loads and post some more pictures. I do have a few more pictures to upload, but I'm having trouble finding a scanner that will work. My one saves it to an imaginary folder on the computer, and the school scanner isn't available. I'll see if one of my friends can scan them in for me.<br />
My sister's German exchange partner has come to stay with us for 10 days. She's really really nice. I'm learning little bits of German, which is fun! I miss learning languages at school. Bronwynne and Frieda (my sister and the German partner) have gone iceskating tonight, which they'll love. I could have gone but I'm feeling ill, so I thought it's better if I stay at home. And also there's my biology essay to write....<br />
So I better go and do that now....<br />
Hope everyone's week has been good ^^<br />
Oh! And thanks for the 300 pageviews! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> You've all been such great friends ^_^<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I've been promising <a href="http://getty.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/e/getty.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="getty" /></a> a journal for ages, so here it is, mon ami ^_^ (ummm...don't ask why I just spoke in French....school seems to do that to me...)<br />
<br />
The summer has finished and school has started once more. This summer holiday was soooo much fun!<br />
For the first week I went to the Isles of Scilly, which was great! It rained all week, apart from the second last day, which was when I went windsurfing with my aunt. But we still had fun despite the weather. And the windsurfing was brilliant!<br />
Then I had a week at home and my Gran came to stay from South Africa. We only get to see her once a year so it was really nice having her in England again.<br />
And then I went to ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
Wow! It was soooo amazing! I went through 7 countries in 3 days (I know my last journal said 4 days, but we were in Italy by the third evening, just not at Lake Garda).<br />
The countryside on the journey was spectacular! Especially as I'd never been to Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria before. And the Alps were very impressive, but not snow capped cos it was summer time.<br />
When we finally reached Lake Garda Emily the water was sooooo blue/green! And it was sunny and around 34°C so we were baking <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /> (only English people would find 34°C boiling XD) And the mountains surrounding the lake were soooo cool!<br />
Anyway...enough about scenery...<br />
Ooooh! I went to Venice!!!!!! It was soooo amazing! I've decided I'm guna live there for a couple of years ^_^<br />
We didn't go on a gondola cos they cost a lot. But we saw loads of them! I think we took a picture of a gondola traffic jam in one of the side streets to the Grand Canal XD! Venice is just such an amazing experience; there's nowhere else like it! Everyone has to go and see at least once! But then I'm kinda biased, cos I absolutely love Italy!<br />
We also went to Verona, and went to Juliet's balcony (from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet) It was quite sweet really, but the atmosphere isn't really there cos of all the tourists milling about. And we saw Nabucco - an Opera - in the Roman amphitheatre in Verona. It was sooo pretty cos they give you candles when you come into the theatre and everyone lights them at the beginning so you watch the opera with tiny little flickering lights all around you! The opera itself was very good, it was the first one I've ever been too. One of the woman singers reminded me of an ambulance <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> which kept me laughing whenever she sang (which is childish and mean of me I know. But once the realisation hit me, I couldn't help thinking about it).<br />
Oh! We also went waterskiing on Lake Garda! Was soooooo much fun!!!!! Really cool! And that was on the day that our AS level results came out (I managed to get all As somehow....not quite sure where those grades came from....but I'm not complaining <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />). So it made that day quite memorable.<br />
And we went up Monte Baldo by cable car - which rotated! but you did feel a bit like sardines cos they pack you all in what essentially was a greenhouse on that really sunny day.<br />
And one the way back to England, we stayed in a campsite in Buvaria (sp?) for three nights. It was cool cos we went to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang castle! Hehe! And then, up in the mountains on the path towards 'Mary's Bridge' (I think) there was this guy playing a harp! And it sounded so peaceful cos the accoustics were brilliant! So I bought a CD of his, which is cool! I've now decided I wana learn how to pplay the harp rather than the drums XD it's not guna happen...drums is the more realistic option...but one can dream...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
And then I came back to England...<br />
And I had a week before school started so I invited my friends round for pizza and icecream which was fun, cos I hadn't seen any of them for 5 weeks!<br />
Now school's started again and it's straight back into hard work <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I miss the summer holidays. But it's nice seeing my friends everyday again. And I should be able to post a few more pictures once the computer network at school is sorted out and they let us use the scanner.<br />
<br />
I'm missing cake on Friday afternoon though, cos I'm leaving for Scotland before Physics (my last lesson) and we have cake in Physics on Friday afternoons. I'm not tha... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I'm off to Italy today ^_^ I'm sooo excited!!!!!!!! I just got fired....but in a nice way. I told them I wouldn't be able to go in for 3 weeks and they said that my contract would almost be finished by the time I got back so they'd process me as leaving...which I guess is a posh way of saying I'm fired. But I don't care! Cos I'm going to Italy!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe....Yeah, I'm mad.....I'm also ill...so I'll blame it on the cold....<br />
Anyways...Oh! I'm breaking a personal record in the next week! I'm going to 7 countries in 4 days! We're driving to Italy, but on a really strange route...we go from England (1), to France (2), to Belgium (3), to Luxembourg (sp?) (4), to Germany (5), to Austria (6) and finally to Italy (7). And all in 4 days work <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /> I can't wait I leave in a couple of hours! Woohooo!<br />
Ummmm...Yeah.... XD!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone! I'm back from the Isles of Scilly!<br />
It was soooo much fun! (despite the terrible weather for most of the week). I went windsurfing on the second last day (luckily it was on the only sunny day ^^) which was amazing! I've never had more fun in my life! The instructor was really cool too. He looked just like my friend's boyfriend - and he was the same age! Spooky, huh? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /> Anyway. I didn't really do much drawing cos there wasn't much time. I spent one day walking and almost a whole day sleeping XD (<a href="http://treesonabeach.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="treesonabeach" /></a> will be amused to hear that XD). It's not like me to sleep for ages, but I guess I was just soooo tired.<br />
Ooooh! Also, Yay! I got over 200 pageviews at last! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Ok, so it's only a small step, but at least it's a step forward, right? Thanks for all your comments and stuff! They mean sooo much to me! ^_^<br />
I leave for Italy on the 9th of August. Which is exciting! But it means I probably wont see my friends for another 4 weeks! (practically the whole summer holiday! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ) It also means that I might get fired.....cos I'm going away for 3 weeks....and I've already missed 2 shifts....and one of those was Sale Day....which is the busiest day of the year for them....But I really don't care anymore. I either let work down, or I let my friend down....I didn't want to do either, cos they're both luffley people, but I chose my friend (for obvious reasons).<br />
Anyway...I find out tomorrow if I'm fired or not- if I get the courage to phone them and tell them....<br />
Oh well.... ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
Ok, now that's out my system.... XD<br />
I did paint the picture of Etty and Charles....but it didn't turn out the way I wanted....and I'm not sure if my scanner's working....and I really want to try it again to do it better....<br />
Also (sorry for the long journal about nothing and that's wasting your time)  does anyone feel like....ummmm....'lending' me photoshop....? I probably shouldn't have asked <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> ....but it'd be really useful not to have to print out my drawings loads and loads of times, and having to start again completely when I make one tiny mistake. And I'm too poor to buy it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
So, ummmm...yeah....<br />
Just one last thing:<br />
Take a look at all these wonderful people's art! Their work is amazing! You must go see! (if I've left anyone out I apologise! No offense meant! I'm just in a hurry atm)<br />

I just logged on a few minutes ago and this message was up saying that I'd been chosen to have free subscription to DA for one week. Too bad I'm going on holiday on Saturday for a week and wont be able to take advantage of the extra stuff (whatever extras you get for being subscribed).<br />
Ah well, I guess it's still something.<br />

I can't imagine what it would be like to lose someone close to me, or have someone close to be be seriously or even slightly injured.

Ok, so it's only a very small number, but it's a start <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Thanks to everyone! All your comments and everything make my day much brighter ^_^<br />
<br />
On another note, I've just finished my first shift at work, which was fun! And now I'm watching the Live 8 concert in London. MAKE POVERTY HISTORY!!!!!!! Oh! That reminds me, I'm going to the Global Student thingy in London on Tuesday! Which is guna be really good. I'm guna be taught by charities and stuff how to get people involved in the 24 hour famine, and trade justice and really useful things like that. Duno why I'm rambling on about nothing. I guess it's cos I'm so excited about all the pageviews! Anyways, I'll leave you in peace.
