October 10, 2008Feeling lost even when Im sat in the most familiar place.Im not sure why I feel this way to be totally honest its weird. I usually have so many things I want to do that I can never get them all done in the day, but recently I havent wanted to do anything Ive just been kind of blank. Ive also started feeling stuff that I havent felt for ages. Not sure if its good or not. Oh well I have a second interview with Lush tomorrow so Im hoping that goes well, but because this is me Im paniking madly about every little thing. Also this time next week I will be watching elliot minor. There an awsome English band Ive been following for a long long time now so Im really excited that there going to be playing in my hometown! Its also only like 46 days-ish until I see Simple Plan. Something that will hopefully cheer me up! Anywho the point of this journal is to say Im probably going to be taking a little break and not coming on for a while. But I warn you when Im back Ill be back with avengance! Take care everyone xxxx

September 26, 2008Best Friends- Two words that last a life time.Recently my best friend and I have been through some tough times. In fact the past two years have been a huge test for us, basically she moved 100 miles away and its been a struggle trying to keep in contact and not argueing over certain things. Lets put it this way when your best friend that you love to bits moves away and meets new people, you start to get paranoid, and sometimes those paranoias are actually true! But moving on, we came through these struggles and I think were closer than ever now. So here is my latest journal, dedicated to my wonderful Best Friend, Miss Donna. She is the most amazing girl ever. She looks after me when I need her and shes always there for me whatever time of day or night I call. She is beautiful, she is talented and she is a wonderful friend, I couldnt ask for more. I cant wait to see what else we do together, and I cant wait to see what she is going to turn out to be because I know whatever it is she will shine. Thank you Donna for everything you've helped me through, I will be forever grateful. xx

September 24, 2008Fame, Im gonna live forever!So recently there has been a large discussion about fame and all its different little groups so I figured I would give my two cents. Now I warn you I will probably end up being biased in this as number one I would love to be famous for reasons I will explain after I tell you number two I admire famous people. Ok so to get this out of the way I would love to be famous because I would love to be a role model for girls and have girls like my nine year old sister who currently likes the cheeky girls to look and see someone who is doing what they love, not smoking, not doing drugs, working to help charities they actually support not that they think they should support and people who are generally just good. I would love to be that person. I would also love that sort of money first and foremost so I can look after my family, they've been through a lot of crap and deserve the best, and secondly to help those who dont have enough money to look after themselves. Id love to put my money towards teaching kids things they need to know, or teaching people who are dying from drinking dirty water how to build and maintain a well so that future generations can survive too. So now we have that out of the way lets move onto my point of view on fame. (I understand yours may be different.) First off Ive realised anyone can be famous now. Big Brother is a prime example of this, people sit on a couch for 90 days then get paid a ridiculous sum of money. They have no talent and yet for years after we are subject to their gossip. Then we have people like Amy Winehouse, she started off hopeful I liked her music, she was individual and she had talent. But now the only reason shes famous anymore is because shes on drugs. What does this really say about our society? It worries me that we are all so obsessed with a drug addict! Should we not be looking at someone who is doing well in their career? I forget, their boring. Now this takes us to a whole other side of fame and thats the tabloids. The people who decide what we read and when. They feed us with gossip of "celebrities" who are off doing crazy things and we suck it up. But I diverge onto a totally new topic which I may actually cover in another journal! Moving back to our famous friends I want to know why people have forgotten about those with talent. People who work damn hard for their status and who actually only gain it from doing something they love, those people have been forgotten. But if we look way back even people like Natalie Portman or Patrick Dempsey have become famous for nothing at all. If we compare them to oh lets say Sir Isaac Newton or Charles Darwin. Now these two did something truely incredible I mean discovering Gravity is pretty spectacular. Even if we look at people like Florance Nightingale, all these people did amazing things and really earned what they got! So if our expectations of these chosen few have gone down so much as to accept an internet blogger as a star, what on earth are children going to be looking up to in the future? Are people like Perez Hilton going to rule the world? Thats a scary thought! What do you think is going to happen, and who do you admire as a celebrity? Let me know! Take care my lovelies. xxxxxxxxxx

September 22, 2008Going downhill slowlyA few weeks ago things started looking so good and right now nothing looks good. I havent got a job yet, I may not even get one because I have no experience, therefore I wont have enough money for the Simple Plan tour which started off as such an amazing plan. Yet again my plan has been shot to hell. This week Ive been so down. So my diet has gone to crap too. Ive basically been eating rubbish and then I find out that my so called best friend has been bitching about me all weekend. Now it may not be true because the girl who told me is a total cow but I dont know what to believe anymore. I really dont. The next few days will consist of me curling up in bed, sleeping all day, eating nothing or rubbish and watching sex and the city, wishing my life was like that. And then maybe something good will happen and Ill cheer up. Dont expect many updates but I will try. xxxxxxx

September 20, 2008Night in AloneMy parents went away for the weekend so seeing as everyone else has gone off to uni and my best friend has better things to do I decided to have a fun little night to myself and I havent finished yet! First on the agenda was food.....heres one I made earlier =)
My MAC apron! It needed breaking in. The ingrediants, can you guess what Im making now? The best parts of the mix! Mmmmmmmm The finished product!! So after I made them I sat down and watched What Happens in Vegas. Its actually really good! Not what I was expecting at all. If you havent seen it I wont ruin the surprise for you but you should definatly see it. It cheered me up! Anywho last night (friday night) was my awards ceremony. It was great fun I got to see all the people Id been missing from school, and got attacked by ben bless him! I love that guy! I liked my make up for that night. Have a peek!
Im now watching the funniest rock videos and have to say that Liam Lynch's "Whatever" video is hilarious! Cracks me up everytime. And you HAVE to go watch Queen's "I want to break free" video now. Even if youve seen it before! Its brilliant!!!! Im not sure how Brian May can say that he didn't know Mercury was gay....I mean come on! Although having said that Mr. May is a legend and always will be. Anywho thats all for tonight! Im off to have a nice long relaxing bath with some lush in it =) Take care xxxxxxxxx

September 18, 2008Life isnt easy!Oh dear today has been full of worries! Most of them are most probably nothing at all but right now they are really really bothering me! Do you ever get that way? Just totally overwhelemed like nothing will ever go right for you ever again. Oh well next year my best friend and I are going to spend a month in LA and get ourselves and job and an apartment. Before that were going to apply for disneyland florida and hopefully we will get in there. One way or another I want to live in america and more to the point LA, it just seems that there everyones dreams can actually come true and my best friend and I have such huge dreams we feel the only place to go is america, the land of dreams! My deadline is if I am not living my dream by the time I am 23 then I will most probably give up and just live a normal life. That gives me five years to get somewhere. On a lighter note today I had a sudden inspiration for a photo.
The Modern Day Lady! It felt good just randomly getting inspiration from pulling beads through my fingers while I watched tv! Well I hope everyone else is doing ok. xxxx

September 14, 2008No gain without pain.Its so true. Just today I cut my lip open thanks to my braces. They really annoy me but I just hope it will be worth it if I get straight teeth at the end of it all. I woke up feeling pretty sick today and realised I dont have long until the Simple Plan tour and I need a lot of money before then. That means I need to find a full time job and quick. My gosh its so hard. You need experience to get a job but to get experience you need a job. It sucks. On the plus side tomorrow is my daddy's birthday and Im going to apply for a job at lush cosmetics heres hoping it goes well! xoxox

September 13, 2008"A smart girl like you."Those words seriously wont stop spinning in my head. This year I decided not to go to university and all year Ive had the same reaction. One of the following; -"Really oh dear what a waste." -"Well why not your clever enough." -"What else are you going to do." -"Oh dear a smart girl like you." It hurts when people stand there and say that to you. Its my life and its my choice to not go to university for reasons I dont have to explain to you. All this year when I say Im not going I have to explain my whole life plan as if to gain acceptance. Well Im fed up of that now. Its my life and my ultimate goal is to be an actress. Laugh if you will but people do it and so will I. I dont actually need to go to university to do that. Ill do things my own way with or without everyones help. Its about time people delt with that fact.
I apologise for the harshness of my tone but if youve ever made a decision like this you should understand that the bad reactions that constantly attack you do eventually get you down no matter how hard you try to ignore them.
"I'm a nightmare, a disaster. Thats what they always say. I'm a lost cause, not a hero. But I'll make it on my own. I gotta prove 'em wrong. It's me against the world." -Simple Plan.

September 10, 2008London's CallingWow it was a busy busy weekend! My best friend Miss Donna and I went down to London for an audition. We arrived at Euston quite late after travelling for over six hours!! The first thing we did was hopped on the tube to Oxford Street and went to a vintage store called beyond retro. The place is awsome!! We spent ages looking around and found some super cute stuff. Donna turned into Sergeant Sexy!!
Meanwhile I turned into a sixties gothic mod girl! After that we went to selfridges and spent ageesss wondering around as well as going up and down the street before going back to our hotel, watching king kong, then finally going to sleep! That morning we woke up so early to go off to the audition and we were there until about 1 in the afternoon so we decided after that to go off to beyond retro again but this time go to the bigger one. That is the veiw out of our room isnt it pretty! This is our huge ass mirror isnt it great!
We had a competition to see who could find the most hideous vintage dress. This was my entry a wonderful red puffy combination.
And donnas sparkly pink and black concoction. I think she won!!! The awsome frilly underwear and crinolines. If only we had enough money to buy some.
Camden Lock. Isnt it wonderful! After this we went back to the hotel yet again to change again so we could go out for dinner at the hard rock cafe! Unfortunatly there was an hour wait so we went on the tour of the vault. It was brilliant the guy doing it was crazy!! We saw some amazing things. Madonnas bustier!
Slash. He is a legend!! Some items from kiss. Freddie Mercury's chair. He is amazing.
After finally getting our food we decided to go on a night time tour of london....as you do! We started off going to buckingham palace.
The fountains infront of the palace.
The Victoria statue.
Now this was meant to be us with buckingham palace behind us but it didnt work out!! This is the national gallery. A very blurred donna with the lion in trafalgar square. The next morning we woke up early to go and have one last morning on oxford street. We went to selfridges again and this time we got a benefit makeover! The girls were super nice to us.
Dont we look flawless!!
Just before heading back to the hotel to get our luggage we decided to go and do more window shopping where we tried on some awsome sunglasses!
Dont we look awsome! After a long journey home we collapsed on the bed ready to sleep. Why we were taking photos instead of sleeping ill never know but oh well! I hope everyone had a great weekend Ill start updating daily again getting back on track with my goals! xoxo

August 26, 2008Diary update 1- Starting off goodSo far I have applied for 8 jobs. That means technically I should get at least one offer!! Although sods law says that I wont, and lets be honest with my past record of getting job offers this probably wont happen but hey its a start...there are always more jobs to apply for =) I also exercised today for the first time in I dont know how long! Does anyone else do that? You do one day of exersice then get busy and stop for weeks on end and then all of a sudden your thinking dayum I should really start again! Hopefully this weekend Im off to see my best friend and do a bit of vintage shopping. Should be fun! Im looking into the fall trend of gothic glam, its pretty awsome. I like the folk stuff too. Whats everyones favorite fall trend?? xxxx
