All in all, it went very well!

I'm dying to get out to take some photographs again especially as both me and my dad are on holiday for another week.
All my dad seems to want to do is go hillwalking though and that's not really my thing seeing as previous experiences haven't gone too well. I'm so cold by the time we reach the summit that I can never push the shutter button on my camera. Not much use, huh?

Haha! We were all playing Mariokart on the wii downstairs for a while. Mum finally bought it for us after I borrowed Alan's for over a month... (He'll probably never lend me anything again XD Sorry Alan!) Anyway, I was laughing my head off at my dad because he has this immense "game face" where the concentration just radiates off him. It's like if he tried any harder, lasers would shoot out of his eyes. He was racing against mum so I don't understand why he was trying so hard seeing as mum always came in last. I wasn't much better actually :D I hope my "abilities" on the Wii don't reflect my driving in the future. Oh dear...

I'm back at school, which is...getting better! :D Yesterday, I dropped a class that I was getting all worked up about so I'm more comfortable. Now I'm back in biology and keep getting strange waves of deja vu XD I'm in the same classroom, with the same teacher and at the same table as I was when I did the subject in standard grade and some things just haven't changed. I like it! ;D

Photography...well, I haven't really been out to any nice locations since the holidays. I've been taking portraits (some are in my gallery) for my Advanced Higher Art unit, I'm using some of them as references and I'm thinking of taking my camera into school to get more on Thursday since I won't have anything else to carry on that day. So yeah, that could be fun. :)

I mentioned in my last journal that I was moving my site and looking for a new domain name. Well, that's all done and dusted now so you can take a look if you want. I'm still working on a main page, so right now the index just redirects to the forum :)
[link]
I installed wordpress on it the other day too but I'm still dabbling with it. I might start blogging on it yet!

Other than that...nothing much!

]]> ~Yanzibar Hey! http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/19662388/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/19662388/ Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:45:53 PDT browsing is much easier now but for some reason can't get journal css to work - the preview won't update for me. :(

Anyway, last week was a fairly good week :) My parents were off work and we got fantastic weather for the first time this summer. I uploaded some photographs that I took when we were in Lossiemouth. I'm tempted to show you a photograph of Claire, she looked like a lobster when we got home, I don't think she'd be pleased about that though! I got a slight tan, but I still look ill white when compared to my aunt! :D

Another day at the park yesterday, we got a good day too. I took my camera but ended up barely using it, which was slightly annoying after carrying it around all day. My sister moved out too, I had no idea and got a surprise when I came home. I knew she started packing but I didn't realise it was all in one day. I walked in the door and mum goes "You missed Claire." I just looked at her puzzled, "So...? Where'd she go?" :D Awh, I'm such an idiot. "SHE'S MOVED OUT!" :o

Well, I might need a bit of advice here: I'm scrapping glitter-graphix.com (but keeping the forum) and buying a new domain for the forum and personal use. Thing is, I need to think of a snazzy new name quick - nothing restricting but something that just sounds good :) Any ideas?

Ah well, I gotta go - Claire's visiting! :D (Haa...that sounds so weird now!)

]]> ~Yanzibar It's been...over a month? http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/19431232/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/19431232/ Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:01:16 PDT Anyway, it's gone now and so is my subscription...Awwwwrhh.
Back to a dull old journal for dull old me ;)

So, it's the summer holidays and so far nothing much has happened.
The kittens have been homed and I was sad to see them go this week. You get so attached to them all but they just grow so fast. We still have Skye (who we're keeping) and Benson (the big chunky one!) who's staying with us for another month until his new owner comes up to take him all the way to Oxford!
Other than that...hmm - I cut my finger with the potato peeler today? Ouch. :D
Heh! Hopefully I'll have more to say next week. My parents (and maybe my sister?) have the week off work to do "holiday" things. I'm thinking of it more as a week without childminding kids running around the house or a week where I can actually get some solid sleep without being woken up early each time one of them gets up for work. Ach naw, I'm hoping it'll be good. We might be off to Skye again, basically we're just doing days here and there, going nowhere too far. I'll have my camera with me and hopefully I'll be able to take something that I'm happy with.

Arrrr Art...Our teacher wants us to fill an entire sketchbook. I can't seem to fill an entire page with anything I'm happy with. I have a bad habit for tearing the pages out too so I'll probably be handing in a very thin sketchbook with like 2 pages at this rate. :D Mehh

]]> ~Yanzibar Exams are done! http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/18662447/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/18662447/ Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:10:45 PDT
Finally...that's 'em all done. I had psychology today, not sure how that went but we'll find out :)
I'm not looking forward to all of my results...

Anywho, not much of a break because I'm back to school tomorrow on my 6th year timetable. Study leave finished this week so everyone else who didn't have exams was back in class. So I've missed some stuff which is pretty unfair because I don't think they should start proper work until the whole year is back and finished exams.
It feels weird sitting here, I feel a bit guilty 'cause I still think I'm meant to be revising. It just doesn't feel like they're all done. Last year I had a nice break of sheer nothingness before study leave ended, maybe that's why.

Not looking forward to this new timetable. There's 2 classes I really don't want to be doing, both of which I have no clue of who's in them so I'll probably be a bit lost. They've already started the work and so I'll come in clueless. Can't see me lasting long in them. :P
I'm also raging that 6th years have to register now. I have nothing first thing tomorrow, my first class starts at 10.30 so I have to hang around for about an hour and a half. I don't see why we can't just sign in later.

On the plus side...kitties! They're gorgeous right now, their bed needs an upgrade because they're starting to try and climb out of it. They grow so fast! Unfortunately it looks like there's going to be a trip to the vets this week though - Ki isn't very well at the moment :(

Ach, I've got to get some stuff sorted out for tomorrow :)

Finally - my cat has just had her kittens! :D I was beginning to worry.
She's had 6 so far! :o We think that's it so we're all heading to bed but she's right next to my mum's bed so she'll keep an eye on her tonight. There were a couple of little problems but they are all looking well right now, we'll just have to keep a close watch on 'em all.
At the moment we have 5 boys and 1 girl...grrr! xD 2 are black and the remaining 4 are white (probably taking after their mum! :D)
I'm really nervous about going to bed right now because it reminds me of the time one of our dogs had puppies a few years ago - she had a really large litter and unfortunately during the night, one was suffocated. I don't want anything like that to happen again =S
I'm hoping to wake up to see the same 6 kitties (7 including Ki!) well in the morning (maybe even an additional surprise? but I think she's finished now)
Ki has done so well :) She was being cheeky though - whenever mum went "Right, I think that's it - we should probably all go to bed now" (it's after midnight) she decided to strain and have another one! XD We all predicted 3 maybe 4 but not 6! :D
I might try get some pictures tomorrow :)

Other than kitties, exams...heh. Now my excitement evaporated :P Geography on Thursday, Music on Friday - Oh dear.

It was my last day of 5th year today :) I was still in the habit of thinking that we'd only just got into our 5th year classes but this time next year we'll be leaving school for good. That's scary!
*goes all nostalgic*
I remember when I first started primary school, and I hated it so much and couldn't wait 'til I was older and could leave - in fact, I always said I'd leave at the first opportunity I got (which would've been last year XD) Everyone would always say the same thing:
"You'll miss it...school days are the best days of your life!"
We were all like "Ah whatever..." :D Now I couldn't agree more!

Today was just fantastic though...I felt like a bit of a tube because I brought allll my folders in and we ended up doing work in only one class...but I can't complain because we had a great day. Especially last periods in Art. We were on our own because our teacher was off ill - the whole class ended up making a "Thank you/bye" collage for her (My idea! :D) so that was really nice.
Then a boy in the class randomly painted his face green...he looked like The Hulk xD and he couldn't wash it off properly =S

Anyway, study leave...
I have a LOT of revision to do. I'm going to really try focus on English before the exam next week because I really can't be bothered doing it again next year...it'll ruin everything. It'll probably be no good though.

My cat is gonna pop! :) Possibly this weekend - you can actually see the kittens moving around inside her when she lies down! :D I'm so excited!

Whoahh things have been crazy this week! :D Lots of ups and downs. Everyone's arguing - home, school and whatever. I think we all need a big long holiday...
Well, I haven't been online in a few days (except pathetic attempts with my mobile but it isn't the same!) but it's all sorted for now. Mum's been going crazy without it, I think that's the main reason I'm glad it's back :D
I realised how much I relied on the internet on that short break xD Not being able to do simple things like looking up coursework notes or even googling. It was dead weird! I'd be talking to someone and it'd be "Oh, I'll google that for you...oh wait."
Woo, I need to get out more!

Got a nice long weekend :) but a "nice" long weekend of revising 'cause I have a prelim on Tuesday and then exams starting in less than 2 weeks...joy.
I'm so pissed off because English is first and I really seriously know it won't go well. It's so disheartening to have wasted a whole year in that class. I'll probably have to do it all over again.
My other subjects, if I work on them will hopefully be okay. Geography will need the most work :P

Last week of school until Study Leave! That's a yay/no kind of thing. Ah well...

No new deviations really, maybe soon.

:)

Finally.
Why is it that a week in the holidays goes so fast but a week in school drags on and on?
I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow XD but then I've got to get up and revise for some NABs next week - joy.
Ah well, it was a good week I guess =) I had family visiting from England and it's always good fun when they're round :) They left at around 6am this morning to start that 9 hour car journey home...=(
Basically, in the time my cousin was round, we managed to deafen everyone with Singstar. That was a good laugh, especially Claire duetting with herself (Nah, I don't know why either).
Tom noticed that here, we say "aye" a lot and last night he wanted £1 for every "aye" mentioned. It's only when money comes into it that I realised how often we all say it :D I had to try so hard not to lose any money. He'll be a millionnaire soon...
Anyway, dA and photowise...
We were out a Rogie falls on Monday, unfortunately it was a pissy day and it rained the whole time. I had to be dead careful with my camera and so I didn't really get much. All my shots were either dull, gloomy or had rain droplets on the lens.
Ah well, here are the 2 posers in the car journey there:
Tom and Seed
and here's a preview of one pic that I'm thinking about uploading to dA but not too sure yet:
><img src="
That was a small waterfall next to the main falls, taken from the bridge =)

Almost into the last week of the holidays. So far I've done...
Nothing.

Well, that's a slight exaggeration. I was in school on Tuesday to work on my art stuff; it was such a good day! There was probably about 12 of us in the school altogether but we were in 2 seperate rooms so it seemed like fewer. Anyway, I came in thinking that I'd get loads done but I only got about 1 drawing finished and another one started. So er...not so productive considering we're meant to be on our final image xD Overall, that's been my favourite day of the holidays so far - ironically enough, it was in school!
I'll share a couple of pics but you'll have to excuse the quality of the images - they were taken with my phone xD
teapot
You're probably thinking: "No wonder you got nothing done!" but this was during our lunch break...which we started slightly early but heh.
We also made a bit of a mess, this pic was taken half way through the day so it did get much worse:
our mess!
By worse, I mean chalk pastels smudged all over the desk among other things :D

We'll be back there on Thursday :) I'm not sure how many will be in on that day but we'll see.

Other than that, not too much has been going on. It's my mum's 40th today so me and my sis have been lovely and plastered banners on the outside of the house and on her website with a rather embarassing photograph from the 80s. Let's just say mum did not suit a perm and let's also say that she was not impressed and the photo was torn off the window as soon as she saw it. Heh - she doesn't know there's another on the upstairs window :D I should lay low now since my birthday is next month...

No plans as of yet for next week...still can't go out anywhere nice to get photos - dad did hurt his leg and he's not allowed to drive 'til it's healed. :(

Ach well, not much left to say...
Byeee =]

Easter Holidays! Yay!
Homework/revision! Not so yay!

Ah, well 2 weeks off school...well actually, I'll be in school 2 days 'cause we'll be working on our expressive unit in art but that should be a bit of fun at the same time and we'll have the school to ourselves - weird!

In my holidays I plan to sleep - loads :) I am sooo tired. I've got loads to do though - essays, NAB revision, exam revision etc etc etc. Grr...

Hopefully I can get some new deviations up too :) If I take anything worth adding that is.

Oh...I'm awaiting news on what's happened to my dad. =/
He's had one hell of a week! Earlier, he had to get a tooth extracted and stitches. He looked like Desperate Dan for a few days 'cause his face swelled xD
Then today, he limps in the door - we're like wha!? He tells us he fell off some steps whilst leaving work. His foot's swollen up like a balloon and his other leg's not much better. Mum's at the hospital with him just now so it'll probably be a while before I find out anything. Hopefully it's not too bad =S

Well, I am so glad that's over.
I've been dreading today for weeks! :D I had my real higher practical Music exam and my English PS resit.
I was soo nervous about my music exam =P I was practicing before I went in and then all of a sudden I started making all sorts of mistakes I wasn't making before and I was freaking out :D My music teacher is great though =) She moved my exam to an earlier time so I didn't have to suffer so long! Haha!
Anywho, I got into the exam room and played my pieces I was gutted 'cause I made a couple of daft slips that I never ever made before but according to my teacher it went well :) She said she saw him ticking top boxes XD I hope so, we shall see =]

As for English...nightmare! I genuinely don't know how I did on that one. All I can say is at least I finished it this time! I'll find out soon I guess, since the final exceptional resit would be next week anyway.

Ahh Friday tomorrow! :D I love Fridays, they're usually so cheery =]
Hopefully I'll have money to get ice cream from Ben & Jerry's again! They do mint now - it's THE best. *plug*

Ach, I'm waffling. G'bye!

Looks like I know what I'll be asking for when my birthday comes next month. My drawing tablet died - for real this time!
I posted a journal entry back in September when it was buggering around but my Uncle managed to rescue it by soldering on a new USB but now I think it's also broken right at the very top where it connects to the pad. Not much can be done about that :/ Ach - I might as well get a new one anyway, I've had all sorts of driver problems etc etc since I started using it with Vista. He's a bit old!
It had to happen now though! I was right in the middle of a painting :P and then pzzt - the light goes off. Was not impressed.

Dammit!

Ah well - this shall be a busy week! :) Mainly in school (surprise surprise), I'll be sitting my practical music exam on Thursday - eek. Then on the same day I've got my English Personal Study resit which I will, of course fail. I had to go out and buy a new copy of the book too 'cause a certain somebody *cough* mum *cough* "reorganised" mine and my sister's room and now I can't find anything. Rawr.
I think we also have an English 50 mark close reading which will probably eat into our interval...fantastic! Then on Saturday, I get my hair cut! Finally! I look awful right now xD

I'm in a bit of a snappy mood right now :P Just something that happened this morning that really irked me. I guess it's my fault for being a doormat in the first place but for my work to be unappreciated - slagged off even - was totally unacceptable. It was meant to be a group task but I ended up doing the bulk of it (I wanted us to do well) and then one person in my group starts nit picking at it...er - hello? At least I did the fucking work. If you're not happy, do it yourself. People make mistakes...oh wait, I forgot - you don't do you?

:) Phew.

Hehe! Better stop now.

Yeah, so I was at the dentist yesterday and I mentioned that I had a bit of pain in one of my teeth and so they did something to it and since the injection wore off, it's been sorer than ever :'( I got no sleep last night, I ended up falling asleep after turning my alarm clock off which is a bit ironic...So yeah, I had less than half an hour to get ready for school today after sleeping in!
I'm so glad Claire came in and asked if I was staying off school or something. I was like SHIT!!!! :o Never moved out of my bed so fast XD
I was thinking about whether to go back to the dentist today and I stupidly decided not to 'cause I needed to hand in stuff for a NAB in school...so now I've gotta put up with this for the weekend. I never take painkillers (that's a weird and long story) so it'll be worse =P

Haha! It was so funny - about an hour ago, there was a wildlife program on BBC 2 and my cat, Ki was going crazy at the tv screen :D She was standing up, pawing the badgers and foxes xD I filmed a bit of it so if there's anything worth uploading, you might see a bit of it soon!

Yas :) I don't really have anything interesting to say just now so I'll leave it there.

I'll probably do it over 2 years 'cause chances of me passing in that class are as high as the possibilty that you are gonna read all of this journal entry!
I really wanted to pass English though and I did work hard and revise for it.
I passed everything else, which is good I guess. Dunno how I managed to get 91% in one of the Geography papers - seriously, I thought I was going to fail that class considering how bad I did at Standard Grade.
I only just scraped a pass in the art studies paper :D I thought I'd failed that too...well I almost did xD But ach, there's time to get that sorted. We're starting our expressive unit in art now, I'm pretty happy about that - we get to do what we want for once xD We'll see how that goes...hopefully I can pick my marks up a bit :/
Ech...I'm tired, Niiight/morning! =]

I think I messed up the 50 mark close reading paper, I ended up rushing passage B because I thought I only had 5 minutes left...turned out I had 20. :) What an idiot.
As for the essays, I actually managed to finish them :D All that moaning about how I couldn't write one essay let alone two in an hour and a half turned out to be a load of crap. I managed with time to spare to fix 'em up. That doesn't mean they're good though XD I'm just relieved I managed to get it done. I actually have a sore hand today, I just realised what it's from xD...never wrote so fast without stopping like that :D

I was only in for an hour today for the Listening exam in music, it was the opposite xD I didn't really like it much. I thought I'd revised really well but my marks will probably say otherwise. I was confident with some questions hopefully that will be enough :)
I went to the hut after to practice for my practical exam and that threw me a bit 'cause I suddenly couldn't play anything XD maybe I was just distracted. I managed fine the other day O.o

Anywho, that's me in the middle of my prelims now :) I've got a long weekend to revise now which I'm quite chuffed with. Hopefully it'll be worthwhile. Most of it will focus on Geography seeing as that's the one I'm really bad at and simply because there's more to revise.

Har. I really want to get some more stuff in this gallery soon, sick of seeing those same deviations on my page :D After prelims, I promise!

]]> ~Yanzibar Prelims! Nooo. http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/16485273/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/16485273/ Sun, 20 Jan 2008 05:57:25 PST There's only one subject I'm feeling reasonably okay about and that's psychology but it's only int 2.
The rest are highers and to be honest I don't have a clue :(
English and Geography are definate fails.
Maybe I'd actually been allowed to move to that other English class things would be different but no. I'm so pissed off about that. I asked to move into that class at the very start of 5th year because I wasn't happy with my current English class. I was told it was full and I couldn't get in unless someone moved out, well - people did move out but I still didn't get to move in. The most annoying thing is, someone else in my class did. I asked first, got turned down. Someone else mucks around and has an argument with the teacher and gets to move. Is that fair? No it bloody isn't.
I've been revising the texts lately and I feel pretty happy with some of them but that's not the full picture. I have to write about them, I just can't do that in the time limit. I actually can't do timed essays :/ All the words just disappear and I can't put what I want to say onto paper. Ach, I'll try but it's not going to be pretty.

Geography...hah - where do I start? I don't understand anything in that class anymore. I used to love it but now, since Mimi moved, it's not the same anymore. There's so much to remember and you have to revise each bit in so much detail...hmm. I'm going to stay behind again on Tuesday for that revision class, hopefully it'll help a little.

Oh no xD then there's the writing section in Art. It took me like 3 hours to do the homework practice last time and that's over double the time we get in the prelim/exam.

I'm off to revise now actually xD This is scaring the hell out of me. :D

Secondly, sorry I haven't added much to my gallery lately :P I haven't really managed to take anything worth adding. Plus, I really haven't got the time at the moment...

Exams. Urrr...

I HATE 'em. I've got less than 2 weeks to go and as usual I'm getting myself all worked up about them :D They're prelims, but they're still important. I haven't been doing as much revision as I should be :P So I really have to work hard now.

Nothing much else to say really :) I was watching the fireworks last night (to mark the end of the year of culture) I did take my camera but most of the shots were crap or had people's heads in the way and so on. Ech.
It was fantastic though, especially the torchlight procession (even though I only caught a glimpse of it XD) that would've made an interesting photo if I could've got there XD Ah well. =P

I can't believe how close Christmas is! I actually want things to slow down. I haven't started shopping for folk yet, I hate xmas shopping :( Everywhere is so crowded and then you're left with that horrible "no money" feeling for a while :P
At least I'll have a bit more money that I would've originally had. I was going to go to the Christmas dance at school, I really wanted to for once but now I've changed my mind xP So that saves me the money for getting a dress, shoes, jewellery and so on. I'm gutted actually :P I really did want to go but I know I'd feel so guilty if everyone spends money on me for presents and I can barely manage to get 'em anything at all. Hmm, ach well - maybe next year?

Hmm, school tomorrow =P I should be revising for a couple of NABs next week, I'll have to cancel my dentist appointment on Thursday because I have 2 of them on that same bloody day. Why does that always happen?
Hmmm, the next day I'll be going to Edinburgh to visit an art gallery again - as usual, I'm only looking forward to the bus journey ;D But hey - we'll see when we get there.
Last time, we went to a Picasso exhibition at the Dean Gallery and this stuck up, old sod started complaining to our tour guide about how distracting it was having us there.
"EXCUSE ME! Are you going to be much longer, you're being terribly distracting! [insertuncomprehendablesnobtalkhere]"
I mean gawd, we paid too. Git.

Hah, anywhoo...

Arr, I think I've fried my hair ;D I curled it earlier and now it feels like straw, despite the amount of heat protection I used O.o

Yeah, as you can see - I'm running out of things to say. I'm such an interesting person! :D

That'll do then =)

Well, it's been my October holidays and tomorrow's my last day off before going back to school on Monday. I'm gutted though because I've got family visiting from England and their holidays are only just starting! I wish our holidays were the same :/
So I've got the choice of being a lazy git and having a lie-in tomorrow on my last day...or getting up early and going walking at Ben Wyvis with my cousin, dad and uncle. I'm thinking I might as well make the most of the day and I'm sure I can get some nice photographs while I'm out too. :) We'll see...

OMG BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM IS HALF PRICE AT MORRISONS. :D :D

(Just thought I'dd add that in before I forget to buy some on the way home from school xD)


Speaking of school, we all have to wear uniform now from Monday :( That's probably why I'm dreading going back actually xD Mehrr.

Anywho, I'm gonna get some stuff ready for tomorrow =] Gotta charge my camera battery too.

The weather's been on our side for once too!
Yesterday, I was out with my little sister and my dad around Glen Affric and stuff. The car kept breaking down so it was pretty dodgy but we got home in one piece :D and with a memory card full of photos!
I couldn't believe how many close ones there were on the road though - it was pretty scary. We were on this one track, twisty road and all of a sudden this coach comes down right in front of us xD I'm like "SHIIIIT!!!!!" :o and that wasn't the first or last one either. Some cars drove down that road as if they were the only people in the world with the road to themselves. But ach.
I've uploaded a bunch of photos that I took yesterday :) I haven't had a proper look at them all yet so there might be more to come.

I was just out in the garden about an hour ago, trying to get photos of Kii but she was too hyper xD (see below!)
Kichi and Smirnoff
Don't worry, she's never actually hurt Smirnoff (the bunny) If anything, Smirnoff would attack her! :D
Instead I got some photos of a butterfly, I just uploaded one a min ago.

Unfortunately, the rest of my day's gonna be taken up by homework at getting stuff ready for school tomorrow. It's the last week before the October break so It should be good :) ...awh wait - I've got a NAB =S Urrr. Maybe not! ;]

Grrr...my drawing tablet died! I plugged it in and the little orange light never came on - not too chuffed about this xP Oh well...now I know what I might have to get for xmas.
According to my sis, my mum dropped the tablet xD But I doubt that broke it 'cause it's been dropped too many times!
Hrrmmm...I was messing about with it and I found that if I held it a certain way it would work xD but I could hardly work holding the tablet above my 'ed :D So my dad put some tape on the cable and then there was light :) ...for a short time. Urrr.

Edinburgh on Friday! :D Really excited/scared/insertemotionhere! I realised today that I hadn't thought about the actual thing xD more so the journey there and back which is what we all seem to be more excited about just now!
Katy, Neil and me are planning on taking Bop-it (if you don't know this amazing game - google it!) but...(and they're gonna kill me) I CAN'T FIND IT!!!! What else could possibly keep us awake/occupied on the bus?! :D

Anyways, I gotta disappear and get some washing put on =P

I am so bad for putting things off - it's unbelievable! I mean, it's like I'm expecting (or hoping for) things to just vanish. :P
Homework. Okay, I know it's something we all hate and most of us have probably done the whole "I'll do it tomorrow - I've got time" thing.
It's like we think it's some sort of easy option but really, in the end it isn't.
I had 2 weeks to do a thousand word essay for geography and as usual I kept putting it off and then I ended up with about 5 pieces of homework due in on the same day from other subjects and I ended up having to ask for an extension. Sounds good? Nope. I've just spent most of my weekend doing homework. :P But heh - I feel sorry for whoever has to read my essay (Sorry Sir :D), I kinda got carried away and wrote double the amount I was meant to in the first place.

Fifth year reminds me of when I first started high school - It went from getting no homework in primary school to suddenly getting mountains of it. I'm really going to have to work harder this year :)

I'm working on it all though - on Friday, I sorted through my folders, added dividers and in general, got myself organised :P Hopefully I'll be able to keep it like that because it helps, hehe!

---

Secondly, I would like to slap whoever gave me this lovely cold. :)
*cough* Malini ;) (Sorry if you're reading this, but you did deliberately cough all over me the other day!) Yeah, so I've been eating Lockets for the past couple of days...which reminds me - do they even make a difference? I dunno why I eat 'em, they're crap and they taste like it too.

Thirdly...
I don't have a thirdly :)

So er...Goodnight =)

So...I haven't written here in almost 2 weeks :) Not that I have anything fascinating to say but just to let you know that I haven't disappeared.

Ah, so I've been back to school for 2 or 3 weeks now. Glad to be back, I'm just loving all of the homework ;) Pffft chyeah. Fabulous. *cough*
Nah, it's not so bad actually, I'm glad to see a lot of people again. Everyone got so bloody tall!

Ohh! We've got an Art trip coming up late September! We're going to Edinburgh, so it's a fairly long bus journey - I'm actually looking forward to that part :D Me and my friends are planning all of this stuff to take to keep us occupied. I mean, if it's anything like the geography trip - the best fun we had was on the bus :D One thing that I'm dreading is getting sat near someone who's carsick or something. I'd freak the fack out :P
But wow, It just hit me earlier - Edinburgh will be the furthest away I've ever been without my family...how sad is that??? Very. I need to get out more ;)

Ooops, gotta go :P

Seriously, I am so tired. Six weeks off school didn't make things better since I was staying up 'til about 4am...a lot.
I have horrible panda eyes right now, I just bought some more concealer yesterday since my last one was crap. I'm all zombified just now, hehe!

Hah, so today my friends and me were standing outside Primark and this guy was crossing that busy road next to us and he dropped everything all over the road including a white tin of paint. The paint can split open and left this big puddle of white paint on the road. All of the people in cars that were waiting, noticed and managed to avoid it ;] but someone had to go through it XD This snazzy silver car went right over the paint puddle and trailed white paint all down the road!
So we thought that was bad enough, until this dood who was crossing the road was too busy admiring the "beautiful" scenery in Inverness that he stepped straight on it and slipped XD It was seriously like something out of a cartoon when someone slips on a banana peel ;D He was alright though, he just hurried off, covered in paint. I know it's not exactly funny but you just can't help but laugh to yourself!
We all disappeared before anything else happened, but I'm sure there were plenty more victims to that paint puddle ;D

Plans for my weekend: Sleep.
Heh. Nah not really :) I'm probably away shopping with Fairy tomorrow since she's off work.
I think we're going to the retail park. Ohhh my gawd, which reminds me - I heard Borders was getting closed!!! W.T.F?!?! You can't close Borders :@ It's one of the best freakin' shops around here. I'll miss it :( and paperchase!
According to someone, it's being replaced by Poundstretchers which is a heap of crap. I hate that shop with a passion :D Plus, they already had it at the retail park before and it got shut down. What's the point? Hopefully it's all just rumours.

Ach, that's all I can think off to write just now :) Byeeee-de-bye!

Well anyways, I got my exam results online on Monday and I'm quite happy with 'em :] There's one subject that I'll no doubt be slaughtered for when I go back but I'll just have to bear it - I tried!
I don't understand what happened to Geography, I do remember absolutely detesting that exam but it was a subject I revised harder for than some others yet to put it bluntly - I did shit! Urr.

Hmm...I haven't really been out with my camera at all lately, the past couple of weeks or so were hell! I'd been back and forth to the dentist and so on but I finally got something sorted on Thursday and it's feeling a lot better now. My next appointment's in a month unless there's another cancellation for RA...I really hope so! I have to get laughing gas now because I'm so nervous and tense when I go to the dentist making it near impossible to do anything :P I was so worried about it last week but it ended up being much better which is why I want to go back now! (I never thought I'd ever say that!)
Only bad thing is that I was so sleepy afterwards...I thought it would wear off after a while but it stayed for the day.

Right, that's me off now - I've got too much to do. =o

Tomorrow is the earliest we can get our results as we can get them online instead of waiting for the post on Tuesday. Besides, I think there's a strike on Tuesday so I doubt it's a good idea to rely on the mail xD
I'm so worried :P I genuinely don't know how I've done, which makes things worse.

I've had these weird random dreams lately o.o (seperate ones) I actually managed to remember them for once too...I hate how they seem so real XD and I had trouble trying to figure out if it really happened or not until I was wide awake enough to realise who I am and what wouldn't happen in real life! :D
First I dreamt that I won the lottery O.o Not a huge amount, but an amount I would be happy with nonetheless XD I had that dream a few times actually...
Then I had a dream that I got a job :o I just remember how happy I was when I got paid XDD

Hmm...yeah, a lot of money dreams O.o Heh if only... :P

The one I had last night was totally different though...It didn't even make sense so I'm not gonna explain it all 'cause you guys will be totally "wtf-ed" :D I want to - but I won't, I'll save you all the confusion ^_^ There's too many people in it anywhoo to be able to explain it to strangers xD

Moving on...
=o

Mehhhr...back to school soon, I'm dreading it actually :o We'll have a new Rector when we get back, there's all of these rumours around about how strict she is compared to our last head teacher. So sounds like we're in for hell. Joy.

Ohhh...and exam results on Tuesday :o Tuesday is gonna be a bad day for me =( I can tell already. I've got an x-ray at the hospital on the same day and I HATE hospitals >_< I hope at least I haven't got terrible results on my exams, but I'm not too positive on those at all xP I just don't remember feeling happy with myself after coming out of the hall at the end of each exam. :P I'll just have to see how it goes :)

Hah...I had this huge list of things and places I wanted to get photos of, my dad was all "We can go here/there/wherever" and so on, and I just remembered I made a bet on the first week that we wouldn't go to this bridge place by the end of the holidays. So far we haven't been, despite me reminding him ;) ££££££ hurhur!!

Ach well, I'm off :]

Yesterday was crap...literally. We were all out at this loch place, and my dad decided to park riiiight beside a pile of sheep shit...I don't think I even need to explain what happened next. ;D

Arrr -_- I think I'm coming down with a cold but I dunno :/ I had really sore eyes and a headache yesterday after I got home O.o Not so bad today :P Oh well.

I really want to do something tomorrow =o I've got money to spend and I need to get new stuff xD Thing is, last few times I've been in town there's been absolutely nothing, which is so frustrating >_<

Seriously...buses. I hate 'em. I've had enough nasty bus experiences for today ^_^
Today I had to get into town and I was waiting at the bus stop and the friggin' thing almost went straight past me but the driver decided to let me on half way down the bloody road. Gawd what an impatient, old git he was. I got on, paid and stood for a bit, waiting for my change (which he didn't give me) So I walked off to get a seat and 5 seconds later he shouts "Yer change!" Of course, the bus is now moving and I'm struggling to the front xD and he shouts "Take yer bloody time then." I mean...seriously, what the...? You're getting paid to do your job, at least be a bit nicer. Urgh.
So anyway, didn't do much today :) Wandered round town for a bit with Mimi (still haven't found any nice jeans yet :/) Then met up with George too and went to the park, the islands and another park where it started pouring down with rain. Lovely. :D

Arr...my neighbours across the road are doing my nut in. They've had a party going on all day; the music is so loud that it's almost as if it's playing in my own house. It stopped for a bit earlier but now it's back on and it's what...after midnight? :P Won't be long 'til the police come round xD Mind you, I take that back coming from here :D Anyways it's that proper rave music that just thumps. No-one can really tell 'em off because they don't speak English. Ach well...let's just see how much longer this goes on for :D

Pretty miserable out there =)

whereistheeffingsun

So despite all of the rain, me and friends went to the park yesterday :) I swear we weren't meant to be there or something ;D On the way there, it started chucking buckets of rain but we carried on anyway and stayed for a bit :P Then a few of us went back to town (the rain stopped) Town was boring so we decided to trek back up to the park again...and quite literally as we got to the gates the rain started thrashing down - again. >_< Lovely.
Yeah, so for a few of us - yesterday was an absolute waste of time :D

And today...I've done pretty much nothing. Woo.

Eeeeee...Homework for over the holidays is piling up like the dishes in my kitchen :o (that's bad by the way ;) ) Yeah so...I've got 9 (Yes, 9) drawings to do for art :o Then I've got something else to do with portraits; not forgetting a lovely geography essay on Brazil :) Isn't that nice? Lots of homework on our h-o-l-i-d-a-y-s note: HOLIDAYS. -_- Heh.
Oh, and I've got to read a book for English but I'd probably do that anyway xD

Mind you...I don't think I'm doing anything this summer :'( It's gonna be absolutely miserable...urrghh!
So, we're not going to Lincoln this year (which I reaaaaaaaaaally wanted to do) My mum is most likely working, so there'll be lovely, little children running around the house all day, 24/7, well 24/5 but anyways >_< Nyahhh, I just want to do something >:(

Ohhh! Last week of school next week :D we finish on Thursday at 12 :o Yuss!

Okie, I'm off :D I've got a kitten climbing all over my shoulders so it's not too easy to type right now xD

I just felt like writing in this thing :) I'm pretty tired so I probably won't make much sense xD Plus it won't help if the kitty gets her paws back on the keyboard :o
"Oi, get off!"
;D

Anyways, not much happening :P I started 5th year last week, I'm not really happy with it yet but it's not too bad actually, I'm just pissed off at a few classes...I think If I got them changed I'd be chuffed =) But that's not gonna happen because the english class I reaaaaaaally want is full. Damn...%^$"^@@"$[insertnastyswearwordshere] -_-

The reason I want to change is because the class I'm in right now is quite literally a piss-take. No-one does anything but sit, chat and mess around...okay that might sound good to you but I actually want to pass higher english. I was in a bad class last year and I really didn't want that again this time. I want to be in a class where I'm with people I know and will work well with eg Katy. We're so competitive :D Every piece of work is like a game, so we try to do well whereas the class I'm in right now, there's just none of that. I think the reason I did so well in school in 1st/2nd year was because I was in all of Katy's classes, we had good teachers too :) We both did really well and at the same time, we had fun. So I kinda miss that. :/ All I can do is hope someone moves out of that class :P

Well, I was out getting a lot of photos yesterday :) My mum has a friend up visiting so we've been at all the tourist-y places, hehe! :D I'm kinda disappointed in a lot of my shots but hey, it happens :) I don't think there's many worth uploading. We were gonna go out again today to Chanory point but the weather's pish.

I am so glad they're over. My last one was biology which went...well to be quite honest: shit.

I don't get my results back 'til August, which is just way too long for me XD I'm dreading it.

Anyways, I planned to get a lot of stuff done last night but I ended up sleeping, feeling really bad :( I'm starting something, and it picked the best time to happen -_- Well, technically it did since I should be grateful I wasn't like this for my exam but urr.
I'm quite chuffed this morning though, I got a new camera filter ^_^ Can't wait to try it out but heh. Not sure where I'll be going yet.

Oh...and I'm so glad I was away at school yesterday :o Turned out, while I was away that one of the kids my mum looks after had thrown up o.o If you know me, you'd know that I can't stand anything to do with vomit. If it's someone else, I stay well away from 'em xP What's worse is that my mum purposely didn't tell me -_- She knew I'd freak out and whatnot. So I found out by overhearing a couple of words from a phonecall. I wasn't too happy about that :P So yeah, I'm staying upstairs today XD

I'm gonna ask my dad today when he gets home from work if we can go to Chanory Point so I can try out this filter =) hopefully the weather won't go all crappehhh.

There's so much on for me this week =S I've got a party tomorrow; Thursday I'll be out with friends then on Friday I'm going to the cinema with Katy and Judy ^_^ I haven't been to the cinema in like 2 years or something XDD this'll be good :]

Hehe! I'm pretty pissed off about how these holidays are almost over xD Pleeeeeease, one more week?

For once, I've actually spent quite a lot of time out of the house :) and...I'M SUNBURNT...in APRIL?!

So I have...Walked up Cairngorm mountain, been to Chanory Point, Nairn beach, gone into town (a few times), gone to the islands (twice), Whin Park, Bellfield Park, Retail Park xD, Rollerbowl... and I can't remember where else :)

My typical holiday used to just be me, sitting in the house on my computer for 2 solid weeks...I mean c'mon... O.o

As you can see by the growth of my gallery, I took a lot of pictures xD
As weird as it sounds but taking photos really makes me want to go out a lot more :D which is great...'cept for the fact that I should be well into revision by now :S ...uh oh.

Yeah, my exams are really close...and to be totally honest - I'm crapping it o.o
I've tried sitting down to revision, I REALLY have tried...but it's not easy O.o I just can't concentrate =(

1. It's the holidays! Nobody wants to sit looking over past papers :/
2. Too many distractions :/ There's so much going on, I'll be reading over something and then it's "LEANNE! Help load the dishwasher!" FFS!!! >_< by the time me and Claire finish arguing over who's turn it is, i'll be grey.
3. My mum is...*dramatic music* Childminding -_- Fab. Little kids running around, shouting, arguing, crying, nappy filling... x_x

Last night, I actually went out XD I was trying out a new filter for my camera (which rawks by the way ;) ) So I was taking photos of random crap outside =] But it wasn't too good because I had no tripod :/

...But I've got one now! XD My dad actually bought me one :o Yay!

Anyways...tomorrow, our school is doing a Comic Relief thing (a week late, I know XD) So all the years have a theme and have to dress up ^_^ Our year got footballers and footballers wives which we're not too chuffed about considering the fact that other years got things like superheroes, pirates etc :D They could've made ours a bit more extreme I guess =]
Anyways, today I spent ages with Katy in town trying to find something and...WE FOUND BUGGER ALL! :D Dammit! (Well, Katy got these sunglasses that rawk but that's all we found)
I was all set to buy this top I liked yesterday but today I decided I hate it (weird?)

Urr...I've got homework coming from everywhere. =( Not that it's doing me any favours sitting on the computer but I've done some of it anyway and afterall - this is the weekend ;] Heh. :S

Other than that I'm a grumpy bugger today :)
Had an argument with a certain someone *shifty eyes* so that's not done any favours.

And my site's fecked. It's just totally overloaded and slow -_- the forum takes soooo loooong to load a page, let alone post. This happens every so often and then passes after a while *knock on wood* Sending a support ticket to my host is a waste of time because I'm literally talking to a robot :P

Meh.

Oooooooooooh! and last night there was that eclipse :D I got a bunch of photos when it was about half way (brighter) but I couldn't take anymore after because I didn't have a tripod (or a steady hand XD I was freeeeeezing) I might upload some of the photos but they're not that great so maybe not hehe!


Anyyyyyyyyways, better try my essays again xD

So I have a bunch of weird photos of all these old markers, graves and stuff o.o It's kinda creepy :P I'm not usually into that sorta thing but hey - I was out for once ;D so I might as well have got some photos =)

I'll upload a few but a lot of them are very similar =/

Anyway, I wanted to go take a photo of this really snazzy bridge x) But we had to get home because my mum forgot about the roast -_- meh, maybe another time :D

Now I've got tons of homework =o The joys...
hehe!

Claire was pissed and kept shouting out random crap that made no sense O.o But anyway, the film was pretty dodgy and gory :P But Leanne G decided to let us watch Saw III today, I still feel ill lol!! I covered my face for most of it hehe! It was all blood and sick and...yeah O.o
Who writes that stuff?! hehe! Ew.
I haven't seen the first one yet but after that, I don't think I want to ;D

Anywayss...Only one full day left of my long weekend =( I'll spend most of it doing homework no doubt -_- Then my house will be packed with the childminding kids again so it'll be chaos x( Oh fab...in a way, I actually want to go back to school =P Hehe! Ach well...

I want it to snow so badly xD I have a really good idea for a photo...only problem is, I need snow =) Dammit =o

]]> ~Yanzibar Another rant :P http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/11681035/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/11681035/ Sun, 04 Feb 2007 08:13:45 PST (one of many hehe!)

School. I went about 2 weeks with hardly any homework and now it suddenly all piles on in one week. Why do they all choose the same bloody time to give out homework and tests?
I've finished a chunk of it already but I've still got more to do =/ I've got an English speaking test which I really don't want to do because I don't have a clue what's going on :o Then there's a HUGE french speaking test (I'd rather the English one any day!) Seriously, it's actually huge and I don't even understand it either. Then there's maths homework which was easy, so that's okay :P then I've got a Biology test on Tuesday too (same day as french) and Biology is just...no. I don't understand anything in that class :P Never have. I was good at Science in 1/2 year, why did I choose biology? *tube*
Then there's admin...but I've got 2 weeks for that so...nyah.

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff...

Ohh gawd...subject choice forms have to be in tomorrow too >_< I'm not even sure if what I picked is even what I want to do.

---------------

Anyway, I'll put all that off for now before I get really pissed off :P

Good things...

Em...well, if being the weekend counts? =D And having the long weekend next week...and Valentines Day soon after <3 heh.

OH! AND I MIGHT BE GETTING ANOTHER CAT! :D
We were all talking the other day about missing Charlie. Charlie was my old siamese cat that I loved to pieces <3<3<3 my mum put him away last summer -_- He was getting "territorial" if y'know what I mean ;)
Anyway, my mum says if we're getting another siamese that it has to be female, and we have to get it as a kitten and not when it's a full grown cat like when we got Charlie, so that she can be used to her surroundings and not get all stressed out by the other animals hehe :P But whether this is gonna happen or not...is another thing ;]

Now it's back to school and homework already >_<
I just spent a couple of hours redrafting an art essay which still isn't even right...pleh. It's all about describing 3 chairs...CHAIRS! How interesting =P How the hell will writing about chairs benefit me? Honestly, half of the stuff from school I'll probably never use ;D ...or remember O.o
And it helps if I wasn't constantly being distracted by arguing with everyone xP I dunno...I'm not chuffed today for some reason :P Anyone speaks to me in the house and I end up biting their 'ed off...=o saawwwriiie x(

Now I only have a little while to myself before I have to get ready for tomorrow...oh, fun -_- and I'mmmmma gonna go to my bed early since I got no sleep last night XD (literally) Dunno why...O.o

Gawd xD I sound like a moany git!

On the bright side, I have biology tomorrow which should be fun since Iona, Brenda and me usually get a good laugh =D

Then there's english, which should be...interesting =P Our teacher's setting everyone up in couples for an experiment on being responsible parents, she said she's gonna give each couple a "baby" which will probably be a balloon or bag of flour or something! It's all joined onto a play we're reading (No idea what the experiment has to do with english but heh...)
I'm dreading who I get paired up with more than anything to be honest XD

Ach well...I can't type anything else just now so Byeeeeez xox

]]> ~Yanzibar Happy New Year!!! http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/11273528/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/11273528/ Mon, 01 Jan 2007 11:15:56 PST Feels like I'll never get used to writing that :D

Hehe! I had an eventful New Years Eve :) It was...different compared to other years!
First of all, we met up with family (loads of us!!) to watch the fireworks (<< photos) and to be completely honest they were crap - they get worse every year! :D I think the weather was to blame but ach...Anyway, the fireworks would start up and then there'd be a 10 minute pause and they'd start up again!! So people would start leaving thinking they were over xD

Yeah, so after that we all went to Jimmy Chungs for dinner which was pretty good. My cousin Tam kept everyone laughing with his hellium voice (from the balloons xD)

Then we all went home and met up at 10 again at my house before the bells at midnight :)

Me, my sister and my cousins stayed in the house (and were later joined by Leanne G) while everyone else went next door. I'm sure you can guess what happened through here :P No? Well let's just say that My sister ended up running up the road at 2am with a hellium balloon attatched to her glasses ;D
That's all filmed, so she was slightly gutted when I sent it to her this morning hehe!

A bunch of other random crap happened too, so I can't say we were bored for once at new year! xD

Then it was time for my cousins to go home =] and we all got caught out by my aunt XDD (Leanne G also made a quick exit!) But heh, it was good fun ^_^

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

]]> ~Yanzibar Merry Christmas! http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/11188620/ http://Yanzibar.deviantart.com/journal/11188620/ Mon, 25 Dec 2006 12:13:42 PST Just to wish people a happy Christmas :)
I've spent most of my day with family today, it's been pretty good! I'm so full after that big Christmas dinner xD
I basically didn't sleep last night and tonight's gonna be the same - My sister has to get up at like 5am to be in work for 6.30 for the sale starting, so I'll get woken up too! xD
Ach well, Enjoy the rest of your day!
