                <description><![CDATA[ Summer 2009 is just around the corner folks, and I've not updated since that big depresser of a journal I posted a while ago (thanks so much to those who commented and supported me, you have no idea how much it means to me...I love you guys! ^^) so yehh.. an upsate on my life?<br /><br />My GCSE's are thankfully coming to an end! Only two exams left woo! So far they've been goin' pretty well I reckon, not TOO MANY major disasters where I was stuck in the exam hall rocking back and forth muttering "I'm gonna be a hobo". I emphasize the 'too many' as there's been a few times I've been close to that stage!<br /><br />On the depression side of things.. almost got sectioned/put into hospital over it, so NOT so good, but I'm working my way through it, just trying to look on the bright side and keep my spirit's up. I ain't bein put away, not a chance in HELL!<br /><br />Lovelife side of it.. ehh shan't say much incase I give him a big head as he is a stalker and will most definately read this <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I shall just say that I'm very very happy right now <3<br /><br />Soooo onto summer eh?<br /><br />My plans:<br />           .Job<br />           .Work on portfolio<br />           .Get a decent tan<br />           .Get back into swimming<br />           .Visiting little sis in hospital<br />           .Decide what I want to do with my life!<br />           .Spending as much time as humanly possible with Marc.<br />           .Tidy room (this would take all summer tbh!)<br /><br />What's everyone's plans?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, this is just an update on my life I guess! This journal was in MUCH need of one.<br /><br />Basically, I'm very, very upset/depressed/lonely right now, and I do believe that it is my own fault. I go from one horrible relationship where I'm treated like an object of no worth, to another where I kid myself that I mean something. I don't. They always remind me.<br /><br />School is just the last thing on my mind right now when it should be the first, I've just started some of the most important exams I will ever do in my life, I should be studing SO HARD right now.<br />But all I want to do it curl up and cry so hard. I just want someone who gives a damn, someone who'll tell me that everything's going to be alright...that they CARE.<br /><br />I'm so lonely in this world, my friends are moving on, I'm stuck in a rutt with nothing left to give...<br /><br />I feel like there's no one who wants to listen, but I KNOW people care and that they want to help, it's a very contradictory feeling which drives me insane! :/<br /><br />I'm scared to tell people because I don't want them to feel guilt or any sort of burden from me... and, I'm scared they'll turn away.<br />As for the shrinks? I'm just trying to get out of therapy! It's the loneliest place in the world.<br /><br />Hell by this time next year I'm pretty damn sure that my parents will be seperated, where does that leave me and my sisters? Where does it leave any of us?<br /><br />I feel like my world is moving so rapidly yet so slowly at the same time. I do things, stupid things to snatch the feeling of be wanted for just a moment, I get myself in terrible situations and I only have myself to blame.<br /><br />All the time this burden on my shoulders gets heavier, and my medication pile grows larger.<br /><br />I just want out.<br />I want someone to hear me, and help.<br />I want to help others too.. but what use can I be like this?<br /><br />"And when they met..the angels whispered.. perfect."<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The Adventures of a girl and her dog.<br /><br />She was a quiet child, no one could fully penetrate the barrier she put up to stop anyone getting close, to stop herself from being hurt.<br />"Manic Depressive with Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome." The doctors declared, doling out the drugs which were meant to keep her going. <br />Some days she was alright, she could allow herself to hope that things were getting better. But there were the other days, the days which tormented her. <br /><br />She loved saturday mornings. Those mornings where made for just her, and her dog. Together they would trek to the lagan across the road, amble through leaves and chase eachother around knarled trees. This time was simple, this time was a treasure.<br /><br />"GERI!" She would often have to call through panting breaths as she finished her weekly lap around the field. The dog would sometimes look up, usually she just ignored her owner. Sniffing was much more important! Humans would never understand!<br />At the end, she would always amble across to be greeted with the open arms of the girl which loved her endlessly.<br /><br />"I ruv you." Was whispered to her at the end of the day, as the sun went down and bed-time was approaching. "I ruv you so much." <br />The girl would stroke the dog until she was grunting in pleasure, but their time had to end. For there were other people who longed for the girl's company. Her grandmother. <br /><br />Her grandmother lived alone in a beautiful big house, the dog was her only companion. <br />Due to her depression, the girl's father suggested that she spend weekends with her grandmother. She obliged, thinking joyously of the time she could spend with the dog. Her dog.<br /><br />The girl didn't care much for other humans, they were much too shallow, too bitter and full of evil. In animals, her trust lay. She loved them with all her heart. But, to this dog, Geri, she gave her heart.<br /><br />Everynight, she would have to tell her dog off at least five times for barking. But really, she wasn't mad. She would sit in the rain, soothing her beloved labrador as the taunting puppy next door yelped vigorously. <br />"Shhh, it's okay. It's going to be okay." She whispered into the damp, smelling fur she'd grown accustomed to over the last 10 years. <br /><br />One night, as the girl lay on her make-shift bed (sofa) she began to read a book she bought for 50pence at the local animal charity store. The story made her weep hysterically as it ended. The book was called, "Marley and Me" and it was of a labrador who reminded her so much of the black mutt stuck out in the garden.<br />The aching joints, the tiredness which the star canine, Marley, faced in his elder years, Geri had now. She was the ripe old age of 13, and her age was starting to take its toll. But still the dog would bound around as she was greeted each morning by her owner. Still she would gobble up food as if she had been starved.<br /><br />That night, the girl got up, and went out to see her dog. She hugged her tightly as she wept. "I ruv you... I really really do, so much." She murmered, wiping her eyes and looking into those milky brown ones which faced her.<br />She soon went back to bed, and fell asleep. She felt so much better.<br /><br />But nightmares started to come to the girl. <br />Nightmares filled with death, and trecherous grief. <br />Nightmares where he beloved dog, lay before her, and slowly died.<br /><br />It was the 20th of February, 2009. Exactly one week after the first nightmare, when the girl's father came home and announced that Geri was ill.<br />"She's just not eating. Won't get up." He sighed.<br />The girl knew. She knew.<br /><br />The next morning, the girl's father recieved a phone call. It was from her grandmother, the dog's legal owner.<br />And she knew. She knew.<br />"It's a no go with the dog." He admitted, coming into the livingroom where the girl had slept that night, tormented with nightmares and crying out in the night.<br />A no go? The girl thought... she's still sick. But I will spend her last day with her. She assured herself behind her tears.<br />"She was put down early this morning. It was the best thing."<br /><br />And with that, the girl's world fell apart. <br /><br />Four weeks later, the movie of "Marley and Me," was released, and she watched it at home. But this time, as she sobbed uncrontrollably, there was no black dog, snoring in the kennel, who could offer her comfort. Who would make it all okay.<br />-----------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />That's pretty much my story. I thought it would be better by now, but it isn't. I miss her. And now off to the doctors for me, more anti-depressants, more counselling, more exams, and no more dog.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ One week into school and I've already broken my New Years Resolution. I was off school. SURE I have a stinkin' cold and am stressed to the hilt but I SHOULD have went in. Garr it makes me feel so weak and selfish that I didn't put up more resistance to this stupid 'illness' which I try to avoid setting off at all costs - meaning all I do is SLEEP -_- !<br /><br />I have a maths exam tomorrow which is half of my final grade and in all honesty I STINK at maths! But everyone is counting on me to PASS! 'I' am counting on myself to pass! I've revised, sure. But probably nowhere NEAR as thoroughly as I SHOULD have!<br /><br />It's re-sittable, but I don't wanna let everyone down... the most I can get is a C anyway and most people can get that with their hands tied behind their BACKS! >< <br /><br />I'm so tired all the time and I'm gonna be EXHAUSTED in the morning... plus I have normal classes afterwards: <br /><br />Financial Services(Blah, teacher's gonna kill everyone over coursework) Maths (She hates me. No joke.) Graphic Design (Frig sake I need to finish cutting and sticking a load of crap in that sketchbook) and English (Doin' something to do with coursework I suspect... I've already started jotting down ideas for the coursework, so I'm not overly worried).<br /><br />At least I have my grans to look forwards to I guess, get out with Geri to relax for a while...<br /><br />*looks up* wow, I didn't mean to type that much... but anyways, hope everyone else isn't getting TOO stressed with schoolwork atm. ><<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a nice time whether they were inside killin' n00bs, sleeping, partying or otherwise!<br /><br />I never normally do New Years Resolutions as tbh i have never been able to keep them and am farr too lazy to make them up. But here's some goals I guess:<br /><br />1)Stop being off school so much<br />2)Study hard<br />3)Pass GCSE's one way or another<br />4)Try not to be so hard on myself<br /><br />Anyone else making New Years Resolutions? I'd love to hear em to get some ideas lol!<br /><br />Anyways, Happy New Year, I hope it's a good one for you all! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Mocks are over, FINALLY! Missed a few but that can't be helped eh? The school's production of "The Boyfriend" is goin' on atm, which means that there is no point in attending school because NO ONE IS TEACHING! We've been watching videos! There are like four people of each gender in every class and I happen to be one of them as dearest father is forcing me. *shakes fist - realises he's probably reading this...RETREATS!*<br /><br />Started my final piece for Art GCSE, a big ol' watercolour/ink illustration type thing, it may just kill me, (and TheLividDead as he's on the same boat as me) but I'll get it done! (so will he ^^)<br /><br />Christmas is just round the corner! YAY! It's my favourite time of year because everyone seems to be in such good spirits,plus the presents... yes they're good too XD. My family tree is not up yet, and will not be up till like a week before Christmas (shame on us I know!) but when it IS up I will bombard it with silly tit-bits I made when I was five - it HAS to be done!<br /><br />At least this year I don't have to put up with a silly pink glittery tree ><*<br /><br />But yeh, goodwill all round and all that! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> OFF SCHOOL SOON!!!!! WOOPEEEEEEE!!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

They won't kill me, but if I miss even ONE I believe the teachers just might! XD<br /><br />I'm starting to feel a bit better now, got a long way to go but I've survived this far and I'll survive the rest!<br /><br />But will I survive Maths class? No, dying of boredom is becoming increasingly contagious I hear!<br /><br />I have a lot of art to do for my GCSE mock in it, I've been off a bit so needa catch up agh!<br /><br />And my birthday issss... umm..about three weeks away!

                <description><![CDATA[ Today, I finally got help, I talked to someone - the school Matron, who happens to be a family friend and well-known-bitch most of the time, it just all came out as I stood at her door, I was going to fake sick to get out of school, but it seems God had other plans.<br /><br />Yesterday, my daddy was attacked and robbed when he was in Belfast, got his head split open and we couldn't contact him for hours. Same day, a few hours earlier, my nanny went into hospital, she can't breathe.<br /><br />I suppose that's what made me snap, my daddy is my hero, he is so full of kindness to others, always helping out whenever he can, he didn't deserve it; and when he finally got in contact with my mother, she slammed the phone down on him. This, ontop of a hell of a lot of other stuff, added to my breakdown - everyone's been wonderful, and I'm getting help now, my GP said I might need to go away to a special ward to be monitored for a little bit if my condition doesn't improve, but that's okay; I've hurt people enough, I want to get better.<br /><br />I'm posting this here, although I know many people can read it, because although I am ashamed of many things, I am not ashamed of getting help, and so I encourage others to talk to someone if they are feeling low, don't let it taken over you like I did; it's not worth it.<br /><br />It's just the beginning, but just a little bit longer, and I'll be fine. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay! I'm back!!!!<br />And it feels OH SO GOOOD!<br /><br />I never really realised that whole 'there's no place like home' thing before, but now I just totally AGREE with it!<br /><br />Also, working has made me actually not mind school as much, least I won't have to get up at six AM and I'm surrounded by people who love me, not ones who think I'm a bit of a burden.<br /><br />Annnd I'm not stuck in a house where everything went missing! A bag of my clothes, my toothbrush, all of my medication and my painkillers DISAPPEARED! I had to phone home to get some more! And going a day without my medication is something I never want to go through again!<br /><br />Of course there where some good bits about Work Experience - I had an awesome supervisor, men bought me lunch all the time, I made a load of friends, I made friends with a boy from Thai Land who had moved over to Northern Ireland (I found it easier to understand him than most others did because of experience with people learning english), I got PAID! The OWNER asked me to design a new animal logo/symbol for the company which he would look at and get back to me on, got to experience loads of different art programmes.<br /><br />The good things happened during the last three days, as for the first two... UGH!!!!!!<br /><br />Another good thing about being HOME tho? ...I HAVE THE INTERNET AGAIN!!!! WEEEEEEE!!!!<br /><br />And I'm off for Halloween ^^ Sleeping Time!<br /><br />Glad to be back everyone! Missed you all like crazy! ^^<br /><br />x<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I sent my picture "Mouse, Cat and Lucky" -which is an illustration from a Cathy Cassidy book called, Lucky Star- to the authors website, since there was a whole section devoted to fan-art, this was a few weeks ago and I thought nothing of it.<br /><br />Then today, as I arrived home early after skiving off P.E. I found an email from the website... and Cathy Cassidy HERSELF wrote in the email that she adored my picture and it had totally made her week and cheered her up from the winter-blues. <br /><br />"It's absolutely FAB!" <br /><br />And then it was written that because she loved my picture so much, it's published on the site, send to all her fans via the online newsletter and her magazine, AND she's sending my a free SIGNED copy of any book of hers I want to say thanks!<br /><br />OH MEH FUCKIN' GAWD! I could NOT believe it! I was running round the house SCREAMING! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I didn't even send it to a COMPETITION! Just randomly because it was something to do at the time, and it was sent with like fifty other pictures too!<br /><br />So yeh. YAY!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

He did not take it well and has been a little b*tch ever since.<br /><br />Rest of the time? Head down, working steadily, focusing on getting all my coursework done and such.<br /><br />Been to the doctors to get my blood pressure taken (standard check up for someone with PCOS), he's a good guy, doesn't get why I hate Health Centers and Hospitals.<br />Neither do I, but they scare me a heck of a lot!<br /><br />Blood pressure was good, but I give it until the GCSE's get closer for it to ROCKET!<br /><br />So all in all, things are just a-flowing for me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone, I decided that I may as well start an online journal here since I'm about to start my last year of high school! Woo! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> FINALLY!<br />I can't wait to get away from that place, I just feel like I'm READY too. <br /><br />Think back to when you were leaving Primary School (Middle school) and you were SO nervous about leaving, you didn't WANT to! <br />I was like that, but NOW I am ready and rearing to finally leave forced-education all together! And it's honestly a wonderful feeling, I may not know what direction I want to take my life in, or what I wanna do, but all I know is that I NEED a release from it! <br /><br />And minus about four people, I can't wait to rid myself of the friends I've held for four, now almost five, years... mean as that sounds, it's like the ones who are more like aquaintances are trying to hold my backa nd mould me into the person who I was wayyy back in my first year of school. And THAT, my friends, was a mess of a person if I'm honest. <br />-------------------------------<br /><br />Anyway! The reason for this title? Well it has been RAINING for a large majority of the Summer in Northern Ireland, and I just know that the second we start back, the sun will come STREAAMMING in! <br />Tan? Ha!<br /><br />At least I have a week in Paris to look forward to before the end of the summer! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I honestly cannot WAIT! I'm really into documenting experiences so I'll be going mad with my camera!!!!<br /><br />Over and Out for now *salutes*<br /><br /> ]]></description>
