...AND THEN YOU SHOT ACROSS MY SKY LIKE A METEOR.

Taken from the book New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. Page 514, Chapter 23, Line 19. Spoken by Edward Cullen.

"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason
... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor.
Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. i couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

Has to be my favourite paragraph in the book. It made me fell really warm when i read it and wished that my boyfriend would say things like that!

HAPPY XMAS!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! Mine was not as hectic as usual which made it a very nice day.

I was very busy Christmas Eve baking Christmas cake, butterfly fairy cakes and cupcakes with chocolate and star on top, and putting the finishing touches on this tree decorations I made.

Our stockings were hung on the fireplace (there's one for everyone in the family as well as my dogs, Penny and Jessie!) and the tree was lit up. Three of my favourite gifts were the tweezers that we painted like a spanish cha-cha lady, a compacy mirror with lots of cute critters on and the softie chestnut pin form my favourite website she.likes.cute

Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

SANTA TIME

Christmas is nearly here - yay!

But a week ago today it was my birthday. I had a great time with family and friends and got some really nice gifts too.
Today it is also my best friend, Luizas, birthday so we are going over on Saturday for a pajama party!

I'm very excited for Christmas. It is definitely my favourite time of year. I love the whole holiday - all the lights and decorations!

So all the best for Christmas and the New Year!

COUNTDOWN TO 9TH DECEMBER

Two weeks on Tuesday, it will be my birthday so to get some presents for me, my mum and I went to Cheshire Oaks, which is a big shopping place with lots of designer shops, today.
I had recently got £70 that I had saved up. I spent some on Luiza's birthday present, some on a Cath Kidston purse when I went to the Trafford Centre on Friday, and the rest today.
With it I bought some new flats and a watch.
For my birthday and Christmas, I got a Ralph Lauren cable knit sweater and an England rugby shirt. I have been looking for the rugby shirt for a long time but could never find it in my size with long sleeves, so I was very happy when I found one today.

For my birthday, my friends and I are going out for a meal at a new York Italian restaurant called Frankie and Benny's. I am very excited and can't wait for my birthday to come!

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY I'VE GOT LOVE IN MY TUMMY.

The other day I made some shortbread biscuits with smiley faces on them. Here they are:

The icing is made from icing sugar mixed with water, the mouths and some eyes from black writing icing and the round eyes are little toffee balls with chocolate round them.

Tomorrow is Bonfire Night and it has come around very quickly. It only seems a while ago when we were on the park for Easter. It is traditional in the town I come from to roll your eggs down a hill until they have cracked on Easter Monday. Of course, most people roll chocolate eggs rather than hard-boiled!
I don't celebrate Bonfire Night on 5th November itself. Instead I go to Lancaster Castle, a big old castle about half an hour away from where I live, on the nearest Saturday to the day (this year it is on the 8th). There they have a fantastic fireworks display and a bonfire. It is always packed with people but it is a great way to celebrate!

Well I hope you have a great bonfire night if you celebrate it!

Back again!

I feel really bad, honestly I do. I have been sooo busy with everything lately! But I have promised myself to update regularly from now on!

First off, the layout is still on September and it's nearly the end of October! So I am going to put a temporary one up until November when I will make a proper one!

So here's what has been happening lately.

My courses at school have been going really well, and I was very pleased do get offered the three sciences course (Biology, Physics and Chemistry). It now means I'm doing Science everyday and got to drop French (which I hated by the way). I'm doing it with Luiza, Vicky, Charlotte and Harriet so it's lots of fun!
Also at school, we have started our Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. For those who don't know what it is, it is a scheme where you a number of things to help you and the community and they lead up to an expedition at the end! My group and I, and three other girls form our year are doing it and I can't wait to get started.

A few weeks ago, I started Rangers and I am having a great time!!! So far we have done apple pressing and made our own fresh apple juice, table tennis night, and also got a new uniform. We are also having a Bonfire Chilli night, and going to the Trafford Centre. Yay!

Next week I am off to Portaventura with my dad for Halloween and I am very excited. We went back in 2005 and simply couldn't wait to go again. Of course, I will posting about it when I get back!

And finally, on Wednesday night, Luiza and I went to see High School Musical 3 and it was amazing!!! I totally loved and have fallen in love with Zac Efron again. Ha ha! It's a lot less cheesy then the other two. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD!

Well that's all for now. I've got to get on with some English coursework ::yawn::.

See you!

QUICK NOTE

Very very quickly: I haven't written in ages I know! I have been crazy busy with school etc. I will be posting properly soon!

GOODBYE AUGUST...HELLO SEPTEMBER

September is here which means back to school. To comemerate (I'm not going to say celebrate, because I am definatlyey not celbrating the fact!) I made a 'Back To School' inspired masthead, which I pixelled myslef, and a new template. I am quite proud of both, if I do say so myself. lol.

My summer holidays finished with a fabby weekend of excitement, music, glow sticks and the BOX or formally known as Gustonbury, a camp I went on with Rangers. I absouletly loved it. Our main entertainment was a box. Here it is:

We called it 'Box Humour'. I would explain more but it was one of those 'had to be there to get it' kind of things.

Luiza enjoying box humour.

The fabby 'Box Humour '08' magnet that Jenny and Luiza made!

Other things we got up to were Airy Fairy crafts, Cheerleading and Balloon Modelling, as well as a campfire of course! and raving (absouletly covered in glowsticks)to some new, local bands. My favourite was Fat Tuesday:

Yay! They were awesome!

Glowsticks!!!

We also all had some uber-cool wellies. The spotty ones are Rachaels, the zebra print are Jennys, the sweets are Luizas and the pink and green circle ones are mine!!!

It was good fun :) but I wish it could have a gone on longer :(

TTFN.
