(almost) I have three more exams to go, which are for the most part exams I missed whilst out of school last year. The majority of my exams to date have gone what I suppose could be called alright, though I wouldn't go so far as to say "well" because of my fear that I will be proved wrong. The physics paper I did today was frustrating in its apparent simplicity AFTER I had handed in my paper and walked out of the exam. Despite this however, the biggest feeling I'm experiencing is anticipation; the prom is on Friday. Someone remarked to me earlier this week how it's strange how much emotional significance is placed on single events like the prom and the last day of school -I had that a couple of weeks ago, and it was a bit...meh, if of importance, because I will always look back fondly at some of the times I've had from year 7 till year 11 - but I cannot help but romanticize the idea of prom. My mum keeps reminding me that it is only a day like most others, but still...I shall have a fun time at least, because Julia-Wulia-Woo (embraceimperfections) is coming round to get ready at my house, go to prom with me (I have three, yes three, of the best dates ever in the forms of Julia, Alex (uchihatsukiko) and my friend Ash) come back to my house with other friend or friends to get changed for the after prom party and then taking me home with her after the after prom!
But I must also say that I am so so sorry for falling so behind with comments, replies, deviations and the like in the last month or so. I just pop in, fave things, submit some new pieces, and leave again. Such will be the routine for the next week at least, whilst I still have exams, and then I will make some sort of attempt to sort it all out.
Also also, I saw this on another deviant's gallery (hidden113, who favourited "The Tracks of Our Summers") and even though I was untagged, had to do it, because I have half an hour to waste. So:

Numero Uno) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18 and find line 4: "Using his double slit apparatus, Young was able to determine the wavelength of light" from "Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You" by Marcus Chown.

2) Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you reach?
Signed school shirt from the last day of year 11

3) What is the last thing you watched on tv?
The Apprentice Final; for those who don't know 'The Apprentice' it consists of a group people behaving as horribly as possible to get a six figure salary earning job with Sir Alan Sugar, a British business tycoon. It makes for very amusing watching.

4) Without looking, guess what time it is: 6:40

5) What is the time? 6:39

6) With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? Itoshii Hito, by Miyavi - I love this song

7) When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
About 20 minutes ago, in the pouring rain with an umbrella, to attempt to send a text message, as there was no phone signal in my house.

8) Before starting this survey, what did you look at? "Blanket Girls" by mothfather on deviantart.

9) What are you wearing?
Damned school uniform; a black skirt with blue pinstripes; a massive (only because I stretch it when nervous) navy blue jumper with the yellow school logo (a lion in a ring of 12 stars); a white blouse and black tights.

10) Did you dream last night?
Yes, though I remain unsure of the plot - I believe it to be something about a scenario including people I don't even know, merely imagined.

11) When did you last laugh?
If it was chuckle; about 2 hours ago when I was helping set up the Wii for my brother's German exchange and her friend to play mario kart. The friend of our exchange, Nora, was trying to drive the kart with limited success, but we discovered this to be because the wii remote was being held upside down XD
If it was crying laughter; when I watched Mark Watson on "Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow" last Saturday. I couldn't breathe for a very long time X3

12) What are on the walls in the room you're in?
Mustard colored wallpaper with white flowers and silver leaves.

13) Seen anything weird lately?
YES!

14) What do you think of this quiz?
Tis totally inane, but amusing

15) What is the last film you saw?
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence

16) If you became a multi millionaire, what would you buy?
I would pay off my parent's mortgage, buy my friends presents, tickets to 'Stomp', tickets to a Miyavi concert, to an Akeboshi concert, plane tickets to New York and a two bed hotel room, lots of shoes, and most of Topshop.

Or rather, it would have done, if I had any. My taste in science fiction seems to both surprise and appall people, and though I am no trekkie, I like Star Trek (along with Star Wars, Doctor Who, Primeval, Ghost in the Shell, Signs and most other sci fi films I can get my hands on). But I have a particular affinity for Star Trek because there is a good range of different and dare I say, interesting characters. And also because nothing too emotionally scarring happens - please take my tendency to burst into tears in the very public cinema into account; Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith had me in floods for a good quarter of an hour.
Myself and too very dear friends went to see it together on Saturday (and me once more today with my family, I liked it so much). These two very dear friends were my beloved and inspirational Julia (aka embraceimperfections) and the shame faced Brad (aka bardley), ashamed to be sitting in the same row as two adolescent girls quoting from Star Treks opening sequence - "Space, the final frontier!" - and salivating over the new Commander Spock. Which brings me to the title; at the known risk of sounding extremely nerdy, the new Spock was definitely drool worthy. Julia said, "Any girl who has ever fancied their science teacher will love Spock". Now, I have never loved any of my science teachers, but I am proud to be the nerdy girl who goes for the rational minded, sincere Mr. Spock over Captain Kirk. I could ramble on forever, but it's not often I actually find someone physically attractive, so for the last time: The new spock is really hot! And if there is anyone out there (besides Julia of course) who has ever liked a science teacher, I urge you to go see the film!
It had everything - large explosions, hand to hand combat, humor, botched medical jobs, a Scottish technician played by Simon Pegg, a very good looking Spock, some more explosions, spaceships, a suitably strange plot line, some nonsencial science drabble and most importantly, no one I really liked died, for once. I haven't properly engaged in a film like this since Twilight, which stands as testimony to my fan girl nature, but I now encourage you "to boldly go where no man has gone before". XD
I will see you all soon, given that I probably won't be around as much in the next three weeks or so; my exams start now. Oh dear. Best wishes to everyone else taking part in examinations any time soon!

PS Does anyone know where I can get enterprise printed socks?

I doubt that anyone else on this site will watch the show "Primeval", as it only airs in the UK and because many of my friends view my limited TV watching with distaste, but there has been a tremendous plot bunny! The main character, the scientist Nick Cutter, has just been killed off! He died! I cried, both at his demise but also at my own sadness - I just want to assure those of you doubting my sanity/intelligence that it was a very dramatic and upsetting death. And it's not even the end of the series! Such drama...on other fronts:
My own life has been comparitively uninteresting of late. Besides exam preparation and the ever present art folder, I've managed to see a couple of friends over these holidays and I'm going to a party next Friday. Actually, more important than any of the aforementioned things (though I had a great time at the beach and in Norwich when I went) is that I went into Cambridge with a friend and succeeded in finding and buying a prom dress! The year 11s get a prom at the end of the exams, as a sort of celebration of our achievements and the fact that the year group will be disbanded, seeing as people are moving to different schools and some going into employed scholarships and the like. I think I'll either be staying where I am, or moving to a different sixth form college in another town - the difference between the two being the courses they offer. If I stay at my current school, I'll be doing the IB (International Baccalaureate Diploma) but if I move, I'll be doing A levels. Some people will know about which is which, but for those who don't - the complexities take too long to explain! I'll tell anyone who wants to know, but the basics of it is that there are different subjects available in each and that in the A level curriculum, you take less subjects and hopefully get more free time!
That's about it! I wish luck to everyone who is, like me, doing exams very soon and a Happy Easter to everyone!

IT'S SNOWING! There's no school and it's SNOWING. And real, real, soft, icy, settling snow that will stay with us throughout the next couple of days!
Snow never used to be anything special. Then I moved back to the UK, away from my chilly heartland of New Jersey, and discovered that there was no snow. For the past five years, I have seen no snow, or only pathetic excuses for it. The only one memorable event of snowiness was that of a day in February a couple of years ago. I was ill. I couldn't go out. BUT NOT TODAY! Today, I shall stride out into the snow, slip on an icy bit of road, fall over and kiss the snow. I shall get appallingly wet and shivery and probably catch a cold. That is what I will do. And it will be good.

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRACY: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks
the other, then throws the milk away.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell your herd and retire
on the profit.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take
harmonica lessons.

AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other
to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse
why the cow has dropped dead.

FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot,
and block the roads, because you want three cows.

JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are
one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.

GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live
for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

SPANISH CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.

RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have
five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them
again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another
bottle of vodka.

SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5,000 cows. None of them belong to you. You
charge the owners for storing them.

You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and
arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them
that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the sh!t out of you
and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are
a Democracy.

WELSH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The one on the left looks very
attractive.

I wanted to get a journal entry and special Christmas deviation I've been working on done before the day itself, but as people often tell me, I have limited to no time keeping skills. This ties in nicely to my explanation of my absence. Year 11 is busy. So busy that I still, as I write, have four rather large pieces of coursework to be done, not to mention the obligatory French revision. I have had seemingly no time to do much other than schoolwork and sleep (I slept till nearly 12 o'clock this morning). That and I am plagued by headaches, fevers, dizziness and stomach cramp. Also, before a certain someone on this site claims it, I am not pregnant.
Complaining aside, the truth is that I've been busy. But it's nearly over! Hopefully everyone will see/hear more of me from the new school term. Yay! That and I really have to comment on the 362 deviations that have accumulated since September! People have been turning out some great stuff, and I want to do the same!
Other miscellaneous things I want to mention are:
I got my hair cut shorter! For those who see me on a regular basis, or have seen me in the last year, yes it is even shorter than it was. So much easier to maintain and spike up now though.
I got a singstar for Christmas! I have a guilty addiction to singstar. ^ ^
I got a load of wonderful CDs for Christmas also.
And from my little brother, I got "Sun in a Jar". It's an ingenious little device that accumulates charge during the daylight hours via a solar cell and then lights up at night, all contained within an authentic jam jar. It's great. XD
Also, it is soon to be a farewell to another year of great emotional and physical tumult. Of pain and of love, etcetera etcetera.
Expect more work from me soon, and if you don't get it, commission me!
Ciao.

1) I'm very old. Soon I will be 16. Scary.
2) Very few people know much about me, and what tends to get under my skin is when people are nicely confident that they know everything about me, and could tell me what flavor of Chuppa Chupp is my favorite. No you don't. Go away. And it's coke, if you were interested.
3) I like Chuppa Chupps.
4) I dislike confrontation, and despite my earlier comment, I would prefer it if no one knew anything about me but were happy and contented.
5) February 2008 was a changing point in my life.
6) Buddhism is something of a pivot to my way of life, or what kind of person I would like to learn to be.
7) It's nearly over. Just two more tidbits of fact! I broke my toe - I'm so proud about that.
8) Writing is my passion, and one day I'll prove it to everyone whoever said I couldn't or wasn't good enough.

That's it, and I hope it wasn't too bad. Now, my eight victims will be (and the worst thing is that there is no tag backing allowed in this system):

Thank you everyone who has viewed my humble works!! This now means I must do something special to commerate the occasion. I'm so happy I'm even speaking French.
So again, a big thank you and perhaps a virtual doughnut for whoeve would appreciate it (Krispy Kremes are horribly addictive, which is why it's an annual occasion for me!). Any suggestions as to what you want to see for the 1k view piece are welcome!
J'adore!

I can't say that many things have happened in the time when I haven't been here, except for the fact that I had an incredible time in New England. Whale watching and Province Town (where men are free to kiss other men in drag in the street) would be two experiences I would recommend to anyone. Standing on the summit of Mount Washington is not one. It truly does have the worst weather in the world! But I'm not exactly in any position to complain about it, as I am the one who has been begging to return to my old childhood haunt of the East Coast for the past six years.
I would invest more time trying to describe my experiences here, if I didn't have so much more to fit in to the next couple of hours. ( I have to get a relatively early night on account of my having to get up in the morning and feed my neighbour's cat)So, if you would like me to ramble on at you further, you can just ask and commit yourself to a painful demise! ^ ^
Oh yea, check this out - I kind of stole it from another dA user, but it fulfills my stalkerish tendencies.

Hopefully, I will return from vacation in a more positive mind set, as I am currently resisting the temptation to be tremendously pathetic and burst into tears for the third time this week. In short (though I am deeply against my own dark cloud of broiling doom) I do not wish to speak with certain people ever again, and will happily ignore them for the rest of eternity. It is horribly childish behaviour, but I feel entitled to. It is with regret that I accept the urge to scream and throw things about before throwing myself off a cliff into a vat of acid, but I really do hope I'll come back from vacation a little bit more positive. I could rant and rave about just how angry and upset I am, but it will do more harm than good. Anyhow,it is nothing that won't mend in time.Or so I would like to believe. So it's happy-negative! See you all soon!
Dattebayo. XD

PS the dA mood button still hates me. Apologies!

Because toes are central to your balance and ability to spread your weight evenly, it is highly painful. But for the first few minutes after it had been bandaged up and I had been told not to walk on it for a few days,it felt like the greatest achievement of my life so far. Even if I did do it trying to beat three other people at the 'run like a duck' race.
Then you realise just how annoying it is. You can't walk, run or let alone climb stairs. You just have to sit there all day, which is extremely difficult for someone who has to get up and dance around every few minutes.And it also means I can't un the 200m sprint on sports day, which, oddly enough, I was looking forward to. So it's a bit of a pain.
And please don't come after me to break another toe for that pun.
Also, my mood button has broken, so what I am currently experiencing is dA hate.

Others I will cherish, but they feel few and far in between. It may well be the fact that I've had such an overwhelming crap year that I now feel over enthusiastic about the next. I'm determined for it to be better, and involve less refusing to get out of the bed in the morning, due to it all being 'just too troublesome'. There are many things I don't want to say, and am not allowed to say for various reasons to do with other people than myself, but I will say that year 10 is one year that will never fade, no matter how many times I attempt to bleach it with Fairy Liquid. Maybe at the moment I am looking forward to going to the US for two weeks, merely to escape from the place, but I'm sure that I will be able to look back on it as something of monumental importance. Eventually.

I have also discoverd that my hips have seemingly expanded and half my summer shorts now refuse to rise beyond my previously straight up and down hips. It is most disconcerting.
I would also like to wish happy belated birhdays to *deadstarfish and *narutard94! A-chan, I am working on your present as I write (because I can multitask).As you probably know, I am a feedback addict,so feel free! Which is a polite threat, warning that if you don't, I shall start spamming you. I also need to catch up with everyone else's work as well as my own.
An additional footnote, the title of this entry was inspired by a rice cracker packet. The manufacturers of my favourite Okama are supporting a charitable fund raiser for clown doctors. In short, qualified doctors with strange hair. I neither support nor disagree with it, but thought it was worth thinking about.

You never know, it may well spawn some good work! So I will occasionally be here to spam unsuspecting deviants, but for the remainder of the time (no more than a week) I will be in a state of bizarre grief. Just need to reciprocate with my life theories, as we've had a bit of a falling out. If anyone desperately wants to communicate with the netherworld, put the comment in capital letters. There's no way even I can fail to notice it!

Okay! Basically,the first however many, let's say five, deviants comment on this journal, those will be the deviants whose work will be displayed. From each of those first five's galleries, I shall choose 3 (and only 3) deviations I value above the rest.These 3 pieces of excellence will be displayed here! And at no extra cost.
Also, as I am a gernerous soul, you may also come visit my chocolate factory!
Once the computer and I have reconciled our differences, it should be up and running.
And because I know you are now all wetting yourselves with anticipation, I bid you leave. As I am in dire need of sleep.
Get memming.

The phrase 'just trust me' seems to be - in the society I have experienced from the age where I was able to recognise such a thing as 'a social life'- over used. My opinions could easily be labelled as pessimistic and derogatory, and happily filed away from notice. I have recently realised that I seem to have some uncanny ability to say inappropriate things in the presence of 'tell me what I want to hear' people. I can be horribly socially inept...
Moving on from my personal personality battle, who has ever been exposed to the phrase 'just trust me'. There are, as I see it, a range of two whole responses to this phrase.
A reaction such as mine which may go something like this; "WTF? I've known you for a few months and I am meant to be able to trust you with my iPod?!" Or something developed along those lines. It could easily be explained by obsessive tendencies when it comes to close personal posessions. But when seen from a more psychological perspective, could (not the hypothesis, not a conclusion) represent a general and rapidly growing mistrust in a young society. Lives are rarely as stable as they may have once been deemed to be. It could be because younger people are often educated about and take part first hand in the more painful truths of life, rather than discover them themselves.
The second and final reaction is one of miscalculating trust, without social paranoia. Which I think is a brilliant thing, providing it doesn't stretch to being fooled into most anything. So this second reaction would appear to be the maybe the least self preservative, but the most socially accepting. Surely it is an indicator of an open minded individual?
To be fair, there are many sub catergories within these intial reactions: the religion of a person, if other factors like this influence the type of people they spend time with, their background and ultimately how these shape their own personality.
Is society today encouraging paranoia? Because it seems that we would asume (directed at those in the UK) that the people reacting in the second way are part of a social minority. You simply can't survive in thinking that way. Or could we? Were enough people to genuinely think in this way, it could result in social revolution. Or breed a society of corrupt and manipulative citizens.
Trust me when I say its in your own hands.

Honesty and the truth were keys to a happier place. Everyone around me preached it. Now, I would like to think that I am no preacher, but that I have lived trying to be honest.
In the past 4 years of my life or so (since my secondary school education began) I have not been explicitly honest. To be truthful (yes, the irony kills) I have been the oppostie. Few people are "blessed" with what I really think and feel. I hope to achieve a sense of audience and author connection in my works by being honest, and it is one of the few truthful outlets I have.
Someone told me today, "Peope don't want to hear the truth Emma."
This doesn't just seem immoral, it seem socially unjust. From the efforts myself and other people combined have put in to helping me be honest with people, and learning to trust those around me, people would rather have delicately woven and fantasy rich lies. In some circumstances, I can understand that. But the majority of the time, people need to be exposed to the truth of the matter, whether they like it or not. That's life. There can only be forgiveness if you understand what really went on in the first place. Or did I grow up on the fringes of a deceptive society?
No, I have not been honest in the past. I have said things to comfort and cushion the impact of life on others. Once you dare to place a toe over this undesignated line of "what we want to hear", you receive a hugely negative response. To be fair, I have not always done it politely, or calmly, but it shouldn't change the fact that truth is truth, in whatever gauze. Frankly, I'm done with lying to protect. I am a controversial person. I can be blunt. It's a fault, and one I should curb in order to co exist with other people, but I won't lie for the benefit of others any more.
There's a vast possibilty that I will change my mind as I get older, but that's how I feel at the moment. And people will have to deal with that.

Trying to balance emotions that are wearing my neurones out and the more "I have to" practical things within life is causing something of major headache. I do and don't want to face the future whcih lies ahead. Part of me wants to curl into the fetal position and just sleep, which is something I crave 24/7, while the other is cheerfully reminding me that raspberries will be in season soon. And then there's "existent me" in the middle, wanting to throw things at people.
So yes, I have not had a good day and feel perfectly entitled to complain about it, because I feel like smypathy leeching.
I am trying to think positive, so I feel very much in debt to those who have put up with me and my continual 'angst cloud'. It's coming up to nearly 300 pageviews, which means I'll do something special for you people! But first, thanks are in order to my constant bringers of joy and confidence and utterly random pictures about bacon,
*aillesdors
*embraceimperfections
*uchihatsukiko
*narutard94
*midnight-moon9490
Thank you for existing. And yes, my moods do do this. "Grah, you must all die painfull deaths." to imense appreciation as to what great people I have around me.
Suddenly my bad day seems insignificant...

Firstly, for those of you out there who by some unnatural miracle may not have heard of Dr Who, it is a typically British sci fi programme, tracking the life of a time lord (humaniod, practically immortal being) and who ever happens to be travelling with him at the time. It started of as a seriously low budget tv series way back in the 60s of space age Britannia with various actors wrapped in bubble wrap dancing/running around claiming to be horrifying monsters of some higher authority, but is now a well developed, high budget series. And the producers probably just jump on the bubble wrap for fun. I mean, who doesn't? I keep some on me at all times in the case of a bout of depression. Who needs therapy when bubble wrap exists?!
Anyway the ultimate culmination of that story is that I went to my very first expo! Even if it was for my brother's birthday.
And I had a cookie. ^ ^
So now I am relatively happy. I am also being nerdy for the convenience of my brother and looking up Sonic the Hedgehog characters for him. It's suprisingly intricate. Even though it really bugs me that the main character is a blue hedgehog. Hedgehogs just aren't blue.

Or it could just be primal survival instinct. Because who really wants to meet Batman on steroids?
