Memory Lane

Hello, so if you are a regular, you may have noticed that there was a slight switcheroo this week. This is because I needed to put a vlog up on this day. Why? Because it is a special post. A post that marks a year of blogging. YAY! 8256 pageviews later! We reach the 1 year mark. WOOP WOOP! So here is a little video.

Here are links to my friends blogs that got me started: 
Alicia's http://allaboutmealiciaf.blogspot.co.uk/
Claire's http://clairesblogofwonder.blogspot.co.uk/
Amy's http://ameliaalicesviewsonlifeandstuff.blogspot.co.uk/
Siobhan's http://allaboutmesiobhano.blogspot.co.uk/

Hope you enjoyed my last year of blogging, and good luck with the next year, because it is probably going to be as mad and weird. If not worse. 

See you in the 'morrow!

Boring Week, Busy Weekend

Wednesday 12th: I woke up feeling ugh, and spent most of the day being ugh. I did a bit of work and watched TV and tried to feel better, and I kind of did, but no. So I distracted myself with sims. It was nice to play sims again. Mum then got me to try some different tablets to make me feel better. I almost chocked on one. It was not a pleasant experience. 

Thursday 13th: Still ill. I'm starting to get bored just sitting at home, but I physically wont be able to make it to school. So I basically did the same as yesterday. There is still no real sign of getting better. There are moments, but then the next minute it all just comes back again and I feel like a zombie. :'( I miss everyone at school. 

Friday 14th: More illness, more nothing. Yep my week was pretty boring. Don't get to excited by the post. 

Saturday 15th: I left the house!!!! YAY! I am finally alive. I was a little better but not completely myself. I left to go to my nanny's and the family had lots of chats and we had some chips, and it twas nice. Then I went home and warmed up from the cold, because I was freezing, which wasn't helping my sniffles I gained. 

Sunday 16th: I had to be ups early to get ready and ensure I had all my stuff before I caught the last bus out of Horsford. At 10:14. I hate buses on a Sunday. Anywho, I made my way to Jasstophers and we hung out for a bit, she made me tea and bread and butter. It was dorbs. Then I watched her try to put stockings on her cat, which made the cat walk hilariously. Then we played some GTA and I was a police train and Jessie wouldn't let me safely deliver some coke a cola.and it was kind of sad. But funny. Then I had to leave to go to a welcome meeting. I was made to sit on a table with some guys, and felt awkward being the only girl and they were all telling me I looked like someone they knew. Then the meeting started late and I learnt some things and found out I haven't been receiving emails I am meant to have got, and I know when my first shift is yay! Then I went home called Hal and slept. 

Monday 17th: I returned to school. Finally. However it felt weird being back. But I got an hour off because our teacher couldn't teach us. But then for my next lesson I had a major coughing fit which wasn't nice, then I saw everyone again, which was nice. Then it was psychology which was ok.. and then a it was lunch where I gave Jessie a lap dance and then went home. At home I sent Maddy a lot of snapchats. And Sleep.

Tuesday 18th: A lay in yay! But I woke up with half an hour to get ready, but I managed to do it, as well as taking a really quick shower yay! But the bus was late. But I got to school saw some peeps, went to private study failed a test, spoke to Amy about stuff, then it was lunch where we went on a chip shop adventure, and then I felt like a child that is made to entertain themselves whilst their parent and friends chat. Then it was psychology and a different late bus journey home, where I mainly complained about the new late bus. 

See you in the 'morrow!

All Grown Up

Unfortunately I am not going to talk about the Rugrats spin off, even though that was such a good show! No, instead I am going to talk about how I feel I have had some growing up to do and how weird I think this all is. Mainly because of how ready  I was to grow up as a child but now it's too scary.

So recently, I have had to think a lot about the future. Like I got a part time job, so now I can bring in my own money, and I got a bank account to store said money. But the problems with this is I'm not ready for it. Yeah I am so happy with the fact I have a job, but is the money I am going to get going to be enough for me to have my goal of moving out next year. However I just went and did the maths. I know I did maths. Making rough estimates of how much I could earn, and it seems like a reasonable amount for a start up place. 

But yeah, thinking about growing up scares me. There are so many things I have no idea how they work. I don't understand banking! I get scared of using card machines and because of this I get scared people will think I am shifty. And I don't know anything about phone contracts, or tv licences or broadband. And I need to know this stuff if I want money a phone, a tv, and wifi. Don't even get me started on taxes, and bills, and insurance. This is the kind of thing they should teach you in school. This is the kind of thing they should tell me in pointless conference. Because then maybe it wouldn't be so pointless. 

Growing up is scary. But at the same time, I want to. Because I want to know what it's like to earn my own money, and live on my own, and be careful with said money, and start a family and all that shiz that comes with being a grown up. But life ain't that simple. And I wish I knew that as a kid. And I wish I spent my time as a child wanting to be a child instead of wanting to be older. Cause it kind of sucks in terms of more things worry you. 

Ah yes and that other problem of growing up. Important decisions. Like the one on my 18th. But that dilemma can be for another day. Too tired now. 

Does anyone else have the All Grown Up theme tune in their head? No? Just me? Ok then...

See you in the 'morrow!

All grown up, I really want to shout it out, all grown up, I want the world to know!

POOOOOOOOLS!

Sims 4 got pools! I know, again I am behind with the times. But this week I finally played the sims, and got it updated and got pools! Yay! I missed pools, even though I never really used the pools in the sims 3, because there didn't seem to be much interaction and it just got a little boring. Unless you killed people. DEATH BY POOL!

Actually this reminds me I never killed anyone in the sims 4 with a pool. :'( Maybe next time. 

Anywho... so the first thing I did when I got pools was make a community pool,

that all my sims could go to, meet new sims, swim and hang out. It took me like 2 hours to complete, and I shared it to the community if people want it. I think I called it Ahoy Park. Because I made the lot type a park and included all things needed for a park, and then just gave it a massive ass pool. With a pirate ship jungle gym. Which was pretty cool. 

So I took my sim to the pool, on a little date, mainly to get pics of the pool. And it was fun, they kept the splashing interaction, but now you can actually chat in the pool which is cool. Oh that rhymed. I met a friend, and I was surprised to find some people actually turned up to the pool, even though it was the middle of the night, they started to fall asleep on the benches. But yeah. Here are the images from the pool adventure!

Arriving at the pool, look at the little turtle path.

Running to the random chess table for no reason. (No running near the pool!)

Jumping straight in!

Having a good old pool natter.

Splashing!

See you in the 'morrow!

Awkward.

Back in my old room, I used to use my tv as a light source. This meant I watched a lot of random tv. And on one channel MTV I found a show called Awkward. It was the first ever episode which was good, however I missed the first half of it. And decided to (after watching the first two episodes on tv) watch the bit I missed on the internet.

However like most things you watch on the internet, I binged watched it. I somehow managed to get through the first season and a bit before I was caught up with where it was in America (where it is made). This made me sad. Because when I am really into a program I hate waiting, and it had gotten to kind of an interesting bit. But it was ok cause I just caught up weekly.

Then I had to wait for like ever until the next season came out, and I got so ragey at that one because I did not like Jenna being with that guy because she should be with Matty. I love those tv shows where you get slightly passionate about it. However when you get too passionate you get fan-girly, then extreme fan-girl and that is never good. No offence extreme fan-girls, but you have to admit some of your fan-arts and fan-fictions go a little to far. 

But yeah Awkward. It's about this teenager Jenna who just essentially gets herself into these awkward situations, for example people thinking she attempted suicide even though it wasn't anything like that. And yeah you should watch it. She used to (not so much anymore) blogs herself, and it used to be this very important part to the show, and when I first saw it, it made me want to start blogging, so I guess that is why I do this, finding Lish's post just gave me the push. 

Anywho... sorry this hasn't been that great a post, but I have been ills, so give me some credit. 

See you in the 'morrow!

(or Sunday for gametime!) 

6th Form Rant

After a weeks delay, here is a vlog! Sorry about the lighting, but I have no money to do anything about it. And I'm sorry for it all I guess. I know I'm not that entertaining and nobody really watches these. But anywho... Here you go:

See you in the 'morrow!

A Week To Remember

Wednesday 5th: My only full day at 6th form. I remember walking to school with Harvey in the cold and he found change in the coffee machine someone had forgotten to take. And we sat in the common room, while I revised for biology test I had first, and everyone walked in all cold and wet because it had started raining. Then it stopped as I walked to biology. The test was ok, and I think I got a reasonable grade from it, but I was really tired today as for some reason I woke up at 4:30 and stayed awake. But then it was break where the common room was too crowded so I went into the study center. Then I had study so I did some Media work, before...pointless conference! In conference today, we watched someone's EPQ presentation (that was half an hours worth of work I could be doing gone) Then we had a talk about world war one, because of remembrance day. And I bought this poppy bracelet, but at lunch I gave it to Megan because her sisters didn't get one for her and I felt bad. I know I'm such a good person :P Then there was more things which I don't remember. (There was group mentoring before lunch, where we filled out a sheet of what went well in the first half term, I ran out of things so just said the fact I was still here was good). Then it was  double media where we were working on coursework, which was a little boring. Then the late bus home with Amy where we had random chats about things.

Thursday 6th: I got a really nice lay in, and managed to watch The Strain and shower and get ready for school on time. First I had private study where I did some retake stuff, then it was lunch which I do not remember for the life of me. Following this was psychology, where I didn't do the set work, and instead did more retake things. Then it was yet more private study, where I was singing Disney songs.Then headed back to school for there was an open evening, and found a Siobhan and Giancarlo who told us the room was locked and we found a Hannah who got us help but we could find all the stuff, but we waited for pizza, and nothing so the group split to do different things, and I decided to wait for pizza as well as take on the role of door opener. Then still the promised pizza by our psychology teacher did not arrive. And neither had our psychology teacher, so we were all a little panicked. But she arrived, we got our pizza, and the open evening began with a slow start. I held some rats, spoke to a girl about her hello kitty trainers, and spoke to Mr Galley about The IT Crowd before going home and eating some pasta. 

Friday 7th: I was so tired, and not in the best of moods. But I went to school and sat through two hours of biology where we gave our presentations on limiting factors of photosynthesis, which I had completely forgot about. Then break, which I never remember, and media where we were doing more coursework. Then I got to go home, yay! Where I watched some tv and thought about taking a nap. But instead watched youtube and blogged and then got into this thing which I don't want to talk about but it messed me up. 

Saturday 8th: I went to go see my Nanny and we had some chips which were so good and we all got in a group call with Hal for like an hour telling her how we missed her and just general chitchatter. Then I went home and watched some youtubes.

Sunday 9th: Just basically slept for the day.

Monday 10th: My day off. Today I went out for a birthday meal for my grandad. We went to the castle carvey and we all obviously had a carvery (I had the veggie option) and we had a nice time chatting about family and jobs and things. And it was nice, and I then went home and did some vlogging. Which you can enjoy in later weeks. Then around 7ish I started to get this pain/lump thing in my throat and my ear hurt and then I just got really hot and faint. and I had no idea what happened, and it stayed like that for the night, so I had trouble sleeping. 

Tuesday 11th: Remembrance day. This morning I felt terrible. I think I have the ElPlague. Tell your friends, be very aware. The ElPlague is coming for you. So I took the day off school, did some work, watched some tv, had the moments silence (might have been a little late as my clock decided to stop but I guess I still had that moment. I got my bank card activated today, and I found out when my welcome meeting at my possible job is, so it was pretty good. Then I watched youtubes and played sims.I am feeling a little better, it comes and goes. So I guess I will just see how I feel in the morning for if I go to school. Ok after formatting this I have gotten worse. WHY?!

See you in the 'morrow!

Why Do I Even Blogger?

One of the problems I seem to have with this blog, is that I think of all of these things that I could do, and most of the time I never do them. Now this is usually down to not having the time and effort. Because I am at 6th form, I can't do things when I am there, and when I get home I am just too tired. And it sucks because I love blogging (most of the time) I enjoy the escape and the way it helps me let out anger, when I have the occasional rant, or when I talk about something I refuse to say in person. 

It's not like my blog is really popular or anything, so it's not like I have to fulfill some kind of demand to do all of these crazy things. But sometimes I hope that I could become a famous blogger or youtuber because of this, like Pewdiepie, or Dan and Phil, where they get paid to make the videos and they are paid for just spending some time forgetting about the rest of their worries to entertain themselves and others for a few minutes. In a way I want that to be my fall back. Because at the rate I am going I am never going to find a stable job. A career I am proud of and that makes me happy. But I will never be popular enough. Which is why I guess my mind thinks of the creative things, to try and gain more of an audience so I can become youtube famous.

But that isn't why I started this blog. I started it because I thought it can be my escape, my saviour for when I am angry and sad. As well as a way to remember the good times. Because I was never the best at keeping a diary. I started this so in however many years I can read them all through and remember some things I would have probably forgotten, things that would make me smile, things that I would remind the guys about. That's why I blog, and that's why I'm not entirely bothered if nobody reads this. Because I'm not really writing these words for you, they are for me. To keep me sane in my mad world. However I guess I'm not that sane am I? 

However recently I have been finding that I am spending most of my free time thinking about blog stuff, and never do much for me. Like I never play sims because I think that time is better spent doing blog stuff. I hate that. But I think taking away blogging wouldn't be great either. Plus I might be starting a job soon, so I am going to run out of so much time. Maybe I need to rethink things. To find a way to make it easier to do everything I want and need to do. 

See you in the 'morrow!

Tetris Battle!

Yet more games! I had my heart set on talking about the Sims but like last week I have had no time to play it. But I found a beloved facebook game. Tetris Battle. Please note, I am very tired, so it will probably seem very lazy. But at least I am posting. Also I have no idea why but half of the screen cut off, I tried zooming in and out and it made no difference. And this irritated me greatly. But I still managed to play fine, so I guess that is all that counts. 


So I started by playing the all new versus thing they added, which seemed no different to the previous 2 player battle thing they had.  And obviously because it was new I started off with a low ranking. So I played against a random facebooker, but

honestly I think they are all made up computers, which are complete and utter bullshit. Why? Because I was winning. I was smashing the shit out of the computer, then last minute they somehow managed to pull back and beat me! WHAT?! How does that even work? It's unfair. I played great throughout the entire fucking game. Ugh. 

Therefore I decided to move on to the marathon thing, where you basically just play Tetris. I still cannot get to level 15 which is like the target. But from level 8 it goes too fast and I have slow reflexes. I am proud of the score I got though after not playing this game for years. I might play this more often now, because I love tetris. 

See you in the 'morrow!

Facebook Posts

You may or may not remember a while ago, I showed some old tweets of mine. Well I decided to reminisce some more, and looked back at old facebook posts. This again will probably be another mini series following alongside the twitter ones. 

 What a lovely starting post. I clearly took a quiz to find out when I am going to die, after Hal took one and it must have shown I would out live her. I seem so nice.

 A lot of these seem to be about Yoville. Hi, so imaginative. 

 I can probably say without doubt the person I am probably talking to is no longer my friend. Sad to think of that really. 

 Ugh why couldn't I have been more specific?! I am so intrigued by this whole big "luv" thing. Also I am very irritated by my grammar. 

 Apparently I was as random then as I am now. WOOOOOOOOOP!

 Was I high when I wrote this? UGH UGH I used lol. Someone go back in time and slap me round the face. 

 Yet more Yoville. I think I had a serious problem 5 years ago.

Awww I was craving someone's attention :') however I put 2 instead of two. I'm happy that I have matured away from this in the years that have passed. 

 Wow that duckface. 
Wow that word I created.
Let's bring smexey back. 

Oh Halloween. I spoke about this pic before. You can read about it here.


















Now this is just a bunch of emoticons.

 Help what Elli? Your lack of the correct use of the English Language?

Apparently I love you. This is probably true. Probably. 

 Why is my mind confused? What is happening? Why couldn't I give more details about my life!?



See why am I now sad? Does it have anything to do with the next post? Cause I would be pretty sad about that.

Oh but it's ok now because apparently he returned. Also that spelling of officially. 12 year old me was precious. 

Yet more YoVille.

Apparently, I was lucky in love. From what I recall I assume this is about my relationship with Jonny. Well past me you were wrong! You are lucky now though. Cringe.

Why did I need to find out my exact age?

I guess that should do for my first little Facebook installment. Stick around for some more cringey 12 year old me, then find out if I get better with age.

See you in the 'morrow!

Half Term, A New Beginning, and More!

Hello there! So if you are keeping tabs on me you would have noticed that I did not post yesterday. The thing was that I had the tab open to finish writing about Tuesday and was going to do all the formatting shiz. But I just had one of those, I really don't want to do anything moment. Do you get that? When you just want to lay there and not do a single thing. So I gave in to this, and you are going to have to deal without a vlog today. So yeah, this was my week. 

Wednesday 29th: I  managed to burn my arm on the hallogen oven my mum was using at the time. Which stung like a bitch for the rest of the day. 

Thursday 30th: Nothing really happened.
Friday 31st: Halloween. Most of this night was talked about in the previous post so you can just go read about it there if you haven't already. 

Saturday 1st: A new month, and heading closer to the scary winter time. Yet the weather was really warm, and the sky had little clouds, it was more like summer than mid autumn. I did very little for most of this day. Spent the morning t eating nesquick watching youtube and chatting to Hal on the phone. 
Sunday 2nd: The day of rest. Where I felt like shit for certain reasons, so I tried doing work but gave up because I just could not be motivated for it. So I pretty much watched youtube all day, and blogged and looked for jobs, stuff like that, things where I didn't physically have to do much. I probably should have done some work, but my attitude towards it has dropped significantly and I'm not sure anymore. 

Monday 3rd: Early start, because I was back at 6th form. Yay! I got a text message in the morning informing me I have an email. Attached to this was good news. I may finally have a part time job. YAY! I told everyone and they seemed pretty excited. For our first lesson our teacher wasn't there and our class kind of split, so it was just me and Jessie chatting in the classroom. Then it was more media studies, and break and then psychology which is just becoming so ugh and then I stayed for lunch because people persuaded me to, and then I went home. I'm sorry I cannot remember more of this day. 

Tuesday 4th: I got a lay in today, YAY! I use yay too much. Anywho I went in for double private study where I finished my psychology and my media work and decided to get ahead on some notes. Then it was lunch and it was hilarious we were talking about the anatomically correctness of Giancarlo's naked elf drawing and Jessie saw it and would not stop laughing, and then we all got into this weird conversation about sizes. After this was psychology, and she noticed how much I hate her teaching methods, and asked me if I want to change it.  I do but I don't want it to be an issue. Then I was on the late bus with Emily discussing things and making a new snapchat friend. 

See you in the 'morrow!

My Halloween

So unless some of you have been in hiding for the last week, you'd know that Friday was Halloween. And I celebrated this occasion with my friends at a Halloween party. I'm going to talk about what I did and my thoughts on the whole thing, because obviously this is my day for sharing my thoughts. 

I went to Jassums at like 1 where we sorted out my wig, for my costume and chatted and stuff before Giancarlo and Connor appeared. And we watched youtube videos before heading over to Eddie's to blow up a tonne of balloons. Then Giancarlo got a message from the little dick (Scott for those who wish to know his name) and he and Connor went to go meet up with him, so Jessie and I used this as an excuse to put on our costumes. I was Buttercup from the powerpuff girls and Jessie was a moustached banana. We got back to Eddie's had a bit to drink and then Giancarlo and Connor returned. Then we waited for the others to turn up with a game of uno. First was Lish and Paige, which I had to go outside to meet them, and I forgot to put on my shoes. 

So after another game of uno we found out George wasn't coming, which made me kinda sad as I would have liked to catch up with him. But oh well, so people drunk, there was the destruction of the pumpkin, eating of popcorn, and trying to avoid contact with the balloons. Then we all headed to sloughbottom park and Paige and I had a really nice catch up then a few of us went to Spa park before Lish and Paige went home. Then I decided to go home because I wasn't feeling so great and so just left. 

I'm not really sure why I didn't feel great, I just wasn't in the mood to party anymore and just wanted to sleep in my own bed. In all honesty I don't think Eddie parties are what they used to be, and I feel now they are just trying to hard to be something better but it's not going to happen. And part of me thinks there is this whole other thing related to last year but yeah I just felt really tired and shitty. 

But all this got me thinking. Some things are just so hyped up that something gets ruined. Like Eddie parties, they were so great and then the more we hyped about how awesome they were the less good they got. And now I don't really want to go to another one because I just end up feeling crappy from the lack of sleep. Also Halloween isn't what it used to be for me, I just don't care about it anymore, and there seems to be less and less trick or treaters and people making the effort. Does this has something to do with us getting older, or what?

See you in the 'morrow!

CLOP

Hello! So it is Sunday, so it means I must talk about some games. And I haven't been playing sims that much lately. I know shock horror! But I have been busy. Therefore, I decided to look at a game that would take up much time that I could still talk about it. Plus I doubt people want to read about sims pretty much every week. 

As you may have guessed from the title this game is Clop. And I chose it simply because you get to play as a unicorn. WHO DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY AS A UNICORN? I think I first found this game because I saw a Scribblenetty animation of CinnamontoastKen playing it so I saw him play it and decided to play it myself. And then I retried today to get some images. 
So I think the point of the game is to save this girl for the guy who to me just seems like a dick. I know it probably says the aim in this chunk of text, but I can't read that shit. Ain't nobody got time for that. basically you have to get from point A to B by using the 4 keys (hjkl) to control the 4 legs. And once you figure out a rhythm it is actually pretty easy, however the little map at the bottom shows I still have a long way to go and the small yellow arrow shows the furthest I have gotten, so this might take me a while. 

The most annoying part of this game is avoiding falling over, because then you have to restart the entire thing. But sometimes you fall in a way where you can get back up, but doing this takes so long, and is rather frustrating, and it involves rage hitting a lot of keys for the unicorn to freak out

and flip enough to stand up straight. But yeah if you fall the guy is a dick and makes a dumbass comment which makes me want to punch something. As well as this the game puts up obstacle such as stones or steps, or just simply adding a slope so you fall on your back if you make the wrong move. Because no game is that simple.

This game I believe is a spin off from QWOP which is where you have 4 keys to control a guy running, and the aim is to see

how far you can get. I remember playing this a lot back in the rebel playing games during ICT stage everyone had around year 8 and 9. I was better at it back then, but playing it today was like how the fuck is it even possible. So I find CLOP a lot better and easier, so if you want one to play go for that one. Because you get to be a unicorn for crying out loud. 

See you in the 'morrow!
