Wow, it's been...a while...since I posted anything on here. That's mostly because nothing of real interest has happened recently, and stuff that's playing too much on my mind now go into my thought book. Yay thought book!
So, college has started up again. Very intense stuff. It's been a week and a half and I'm already bombarded with too much homework and I can't really remember the last time I've had a bit of time to myself. It's bloody good that I didn't argue my tutors into letting me carry on with history. I'd never have been able to do it. The first piece of homework has taken me near enough...twenty hours? Something along those lines, but only because I unwittingly decided to use the whole of the A3 paper and colour it all in colour pencils. Can we say stupid move? Yes, we can.
It doesn't look too bad. I tried taking a photo of it, but it hasn't turned out quite as great as it looks in real life. But, I'm proud of my work, so I'm sticking the photo here! As well as other photos that I found stored on the camera - the mini adventure of Petite Fleur!! Yeeeah...I'll explain in the cut. >>;
( I'm not a photographer, mmkay?! )

I think I've had about...two hours sleep in twenty four hours? I'm not sure. Could be less. Usually, two hours of sleep is not a huuuge bother for me. I've gone about on that much far too many times than I'd like to count. But, not today. Today, I have been so tired, it's ridiculous. Closing my eyes for a second could result in my falling asleep. And I almost did that. Twice. Whilst having my hair cut.
My hair isn't as fluffy, different and fun-messy as I wanted it to be. I didn't get my usual stylist. I got another girl, who didn't quite seem to want to be as adventurous with my hair. No amount of being assertive got the hair as choppy as I wanted. It's great! Just...yeah...
Also, my hair was given a new compliment today too. It was referred to as "soft". 8D That's a new one! The purple streaks are gone. With the use of pliers and some mystery serum, they were literally pulled out of my hair. A strangely pleasant type of ache, in all honesty. They'll be put back in my hair soon, but I have to wait two weeks. I'm not sure why. Probably to give my hair a chance to be without them for a bit. But in that time, I can finally colour my hair again.
My bank account surprised me today by telling me that I had waaaay more money than I thought I had. I love it when my account does that. And that money comes in handy too, considering I have things that need paying for.
I was also finally dragged to see my new baby cousin today. I've luckily avoided all trips to see them, but this time, I couldn't. The first ten minutes of the visit consisted of my mother insisting I show some warm, happy emotion towards the baby, while my auntie would try and avoid showing that she couldn't remember my name, but could remember my sister's name perfectly fine. The rest of the visit had me sitting in the back garden with my uncle and my dad...and the ferrets. Perhaps little Angharad couldn't make me go "awww", but Michael the slightly feral and somewhat insane white ferret certainly did! I WANNA FERRET! *has always wanted one anyway, but just thought now was a good time to admit it*
Then I watched the new Harry Potter. Honestly, considering pretty much everyone told me it was good, I found it very meh. Part of me wondered why they kept the "Half Blood Prince" bit I think they dedicated about ten minutes throughout the whole film to the whole Half Blood Prince thing. Changing the title to "Harry Potter and Who Fancies Who" would've been more apt.
Shutting up now. I think I need to sleep.

...is brought to you in the form of bullet points! Why? Because I have nothing of real interest to speak of, nor has anything worthwhile happened to me. So, bullet points it is, rather than silly, random and short paragraphs.
* I'm very certain I've caught the summer cold that's been going about. I feel hot, then cold, headachy, scratchy throat, dizziness and generally just miserable because of it all.
* A hair appointment has finally been set. Yay! Now I can finally get my hair cut, have these colours taken out and then have it all dyed scarlet again. I'm surprised it's taken me this long to book an appointment, to be honest, since my hair is getting to the length where it pisses me off. It's getting so long, it believes it needs a natural parting and tries to fall into one at all times. Not a good look.
* 20 days and counting until I finally get my exam results! I'm...a mixture of excitement and fear. Mostly fear. My sister's results came in this week, and she has been awarded a Merit (how? She was hardly in college half the time!), which is the equivalent to a B, by what I've heard. So, if I get less than an A in either of my subjects, I can safely bet that I'll get it in the neck.
* I wish the weather would make up its mind already! Getting sick and tired of its mood swings...
* I feel stupidly out of touch with music. Not that I'm much of a music fan anyway, but it makes me feel...well, old in a very strange way, as I'm looking through the top 40 and I'm thinking to myself "my God, I don't know what any of these songs sound like!"
And that's it. Yes, I do realise I need to get a life. :3

So, here's the story! There are 20 pences in circulation out there, brand new ones, that haven't - for some reason or other - been dated. Now, 20p is not worth much at all. You can't really buy anything for 20p. However, the London Mint Office will pay £50 for each one.
Hmmm...exchanging a worthless 20p for £50? Yes please! 8D
You can be sure that I am now checking every new 20 pence that I can spot.

...I wish this weather would make up its mind.
It keeps going from ridiculously hot to dark and rainy. So much so, I am now resorting to peeking through my window when I wake up so I can prepare myself, clothes-wise. The only problem is, I don't really have summer clothes. And any clothes that can be considered light enough for summer are black...or of a dark colour. Yeeeaah, I know. Not very smart of me, right? Right.
Now, I have no real problem with dark and rainy. Dark and rainy, I can cope with. Hot, on the other hand, is something I can't.
I blame my pale, Celtic skin. *nods*

Sometimes, you're tempted by something and no matter how hard you try to resist it, you end up giving in. Since around last October, possibly early November, I've had this temptation in the back of my mind...and I've done so well to resist it! But, now that I have all this free time on my hands, plus after the recent event of my history exam where - to my great delight - the Battle of Bosworth appeared, I can't resist any more. Hopelessly, I have fallen...
...here is the result of this:

Well, technically, I'm at the end of my academic year and I can not be more glad. I just want the summer holidays to start, damn it!
Unfortunately for me, being that it is the end of the year, it is now decision time as to what I'm supposed to do next year. Do I carry on with my extra studies, plus a few more classes to up my UCAS points, or do I just upgrade the art-side of my qualification and forget about the extra classes I took this year? Grrr! I don't know what to do! I'm a horribly indecisive person, and coupled with the worrying fact that I lack direction in my life and have no idea what I want as a career, so I've found myself feeling very uncomfortable in myself since realising that this decision has to be made and soon too.
A few things are certain: German is out of the question, due to it no longer being a class. I can't take World Development or Media, as those clash with history.
Anyway, I highly doubt I'd be allowed back next year anyway. -_-; Spanish exams went...well, only one went horribly disastrous, but the other three weren't anything to brag about. History will go so wrong for me - I can't remember dates, I confuse names, and Tudor religion and reformation is just plain daunting to my mind. As for drama, well, I've not even picked up the books to read through them. I think I can safely say that my results will be spectacularly poor.
What I really need to do is sit and have a good long think about what I want to do for the rest of my life. But, I don't have the time. Such an important decision is expected to be made in a matter of days, if that.

Hehehehe...I'm going to sit quietly and see if my family forgets my birthday this year. >:3
Why? I don't know. For some reason, I just find the idea of it all quite funny. But that may be due to a severe lack of sleep and stress.
My Spanish exams are drawing ever closer, and though I've now began to revise and things are going pretty OK (despite the fact that I have zero confidence in it and am constantly second guessing myself on my translations and pronounciations. I also stutter very badly in Spanish. It's rather amusing, I must admit.), I'm still feeling sickly and nervous every time I think about it. I'm also beginning to worry about the history exams for the simple reason that I think I've sort of shot myself in the foot by being super-amazing with my classwork all year, thus being one of the best in the class, and so it's probably expected of me to whizz through these exams. Knowing my luck, I'll fall flat on my face and fail it all.
Well, no. I won't fail if Tudor government comes up in the exams...or the Wars of the Roses. Basically, if Richard III/Henry VII comes up, I'm going to be one happy bunny! If religion comes into it, I'll die. As for Nazi Germany...well, I think the whole class will fail that one. Everyone in the class has just given up by this point and have resulted in just shouting out random stuff whenever the tutor asks us questions.

Wow! It's...the Internet!
I can't really believe I'm admitting it, but it's been a weird week without a connection. I know. I should get a life or something.
Unfortunately, rather than spend this time wisely by revising for my upcoming Spanish exams, I instead opted to just lay about...or, to be more accurate, sit about in a darkened room and generally just not do very much. Go me, eh?
As well as my exams, which I'm undoubtedly going to fail as it has just dawned on me that I don't really know how to study a language as such, my birthday is coming up in about less than a month. That depresses me greatly. But that's no big news, since I hate my birthday and tend to slip off into uber-despair and much melodrama around this time of the year. Oh, that's right. The emoness can get worse. >:3
Mwahaha!
...yeah, that's it. I should go to bed now before I spiral into nonsensical babble and more evil laughs!

A big round of applause to the Welsh Assembly and all the fucking idiots that work there!
Thanks ever so much for losing my original birth certificate and my bank details. Really, I appreciate it!
Thanks for not chasing after these important documents.
Thanks for not giving me an apology for your great fuck up, for not admitting that this is all your fault and also for trying to pass this blame onto Royal Mail, who, you know, aren't really responsible if the person sending the letter is being so flippant with their outgoing mail by sticking the wrong address on the envelope or not sending documents via recorded delivery.
Thanks for pretty much handing all my personal details to God knows who.
So, now, I'm going to have to change my bank details. I might even have to close my account and re-open a new one, depending on what the bank will say.
Now, I don't have the only proper proof of identification I had. I've got no passport or driver's license to prove I'm really me. Obviously, I can't apply for those things either. Why? Oh, that's right. MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE'S BEEN LOST. D:<
I'll have to pay for another certificate. I don't know how much it'll cost.
All this could've been avoided if they didn't need original documents.
Oooh, well done to the Welsh Assembly! And they wonder why they're not allowed permission to pass laws of their own...

Everything's gone quiet... |

The following is just a seemingly random account of my day. Not eventful, but when I'm drowsy from tablets, I tend to ramble on and I just don't care :3
OK, here we go...
1) I fear the troubles I had a few years ago concerning eating has returned.
Everything I would eat would just make me feel so sick that, after a while, I stopped eating pretty much altogether. Yeah, I know. Stupid thing to do. But it just felt like everything I ate was about to come back up the moment I swallowed. Anyway, I know why that was, though it took the doctors ages before they figured out what was going on. And, months later, I could eat whole meals without feeling sick with the help of medicine.
But I think the nausea's coming back. I've been feeling unwell for the past two days and everything I ate makes me feel worse. Bluh...
I hope it won't be the case. >.<
2) And, because I needed to kill time today, I went and visited Bangor Cathedral. It's the first time I've ever been inside, though I've passed the place a million times! It's so beautiful in there. *-* I'll have to go again soon, methinks. Take pictures.
3) Finally bought a new pair of shoes. They look very swish. However, they also have a bit of heel. This wouldn't be such a big deal if I wasn't inclined to twist my ankles about five times a day in flats. Now I'll probably end up breaking my leg. The heel isn't high at all, but that's the sort of shit I'm capable of.
4) Finally booked a hair appointment too! It needs cutting, damn it. There's a few strands of my hair, behind my ear, that now decides to proper kink outwards in a huge curve. No amount of water gets it down. And on the subject of hair, rather than streak my hair with some flashy colour, only for it to fade in about a week and then having to re-apply colour, I decided that it would be best to have coloured extensions instead. Like I used to have. Coincidentally about the same time I had the sickly problem! Apparently, to buy these colours and then have them glued into my hair costs about £100. Now, the cost isn't a problem. It's the fact that I would've spent that much just on hair. It will be worth it if it turns out looking as awesome as I hope it will. It won't be worth it if turns out looking pretty awful. By the way, the colours will be blue and purple. Because stockists currently don't have enough strands of purple. XD Not that I care, because the blue is actually a far better shade.

So, once again, I've been struck with a horrible and sudden art block. Wow, yeah...again. It's like an on-and-off thing. Months of my hand just completely disobeying me and not drawing whatever is in my mind/before my eyes and deciding it wants to just make a whole load of shitty squiggles and shaky lines on my paper, followed by a very brief period of going back to my usually below-satisfactory skill level, only to go back to square one again. Not exactly the best time for me to have this when everything else all around me is falling apart and becoming harder to keep control of.
Since before Christmas, this "darkness" just keep growing more and more intense to the point where it now actually feels like a weight inside me. It irritates me, because I don't know what it is, so no amount of appointments and talks with diffferent counsellors and support workers feels like it's doing me any good as there's nothing there for me to talk about. I just constantly feel crap, dark and more self-loathing than usual. Every so often, I'm finding myself not talking to people or just giving very small, brief answers and that's not a good sign at all. I can't see myself in the future at all, both near or distant...I don't see a point in trying...why bother when everything I do ends up just God-awful and a complete failure anyway? I'm not going to achieve anything and I'm nothing special, and fooling myself with these random and involuntary dillusions of grandieur that I get just makes things feel even worse. I have no purpose and no direction.
I hate myself that I'm like this when there's so many people that I know that's been recently going through actual problems, who do have the right to feel bad in themselves and all that.
...urgh, blah. I'm such a whiny, emo little nuisance...

SO! I have just spotted the most perfect Pullip/Taeyang eye-chips if I ever wanted to make my characters into dolls. They're pretty cheap too. However, I won't be able to actually customise them until later on this year...
I don't know whether I should buy them now and keep them safe, or wait it out.
Buy now or wait it out....buy now or wait it out...hmmm...damn it...this is the sort of niggly little thing that's going to bug at me now.
And I am totally aware that this is a pointless journal entry. Get over it.
...it's been officially two weeks since I've stopped talking to "her", and the bitch still keeps stealing my stuff. Damn it! It's not my fault I can afford flashy, expensive things and she can't.
>.<
There was something of importance I wanted to write down, but the eye-chips got to me and now my mind is all over the place. Time for bed, methinks. That is, if my body will permit me to sleep.

...OK, first of all, HAPPY NEW YEARS! Two weeks too late, I know, but I thought I'd be polite. Besides, it wouldn't have been so late if my last entry had the chance to post. But half-way through doing that, my street suffered a powercut. Yeah, nice timing.
Anyway. This year, so far? It's not looking good. But whatever. I have myself a new form of entertainment as of tonight - well, it's not new, I've done this before, but...
I'm ignoring the youngest person in my house.
Again.
Why? The bitch stole my phone and in as little as a few hours managed to spend all £15 of my credit on her stupid, annoying fucktoy. Oops, sorry - boyfriend.
So, until she gives me £15 to make up for SPENDING MY MONEY, she is non-existent to me.
Yes, I'm aware, this is totally childish. I don't care. I'm so sick and tired of having to hide absolutely everything, just to make sure she doesn't take it from me. Honestly, I mean, I even have to hide socks. SOCKS! It's bullshit that I can't leave my stuff lying about my home, that I have to secretly stow everything away. And yes, I'm also aware that I'm probably going to come across as over-reacting to everyone, but again, I don't care. OK, this is just the perfect excuse for me to pretend I'm an only child again and not have to listen to her babble on and on and on about Reece and ooooh, what he might be getting her Valentine's day...yeah, I know. People are already talking about february. >.>;
