HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE :D
Warning: This is just random blatherings on my brain right now. I haven't written any fanfiction in ages, for which someone is allowed to punch me and tell me to man up and write. I have had a really good idea for a book (or rather a trilogy - because all good books come in trilogies(?)) and I plan to start writing it in the New Year, some time after my January exams, and after the Philosophy essay I'm supposed to be writing for some competition at Oxford University that my tutor told me about. Yaaaaay ~_~
I'm also working so much after Christmas... But I have to grit my teeth and face it, and think of the money, so I can get an iPhone 4 when my contract expires. Yes. I can be prettymuch bribed to do anything at the thought of earning £4.70 an hour. My will power is weak. And I'm just generally broke most of the time.
Another thing I was wondering about... I want to change my username and get rid of the "_fic" and this plainly be INCLINATION as I am in most internet sites that I haunt... Apparently, it costs $15 to change your name, and being British I have no idea how much this is. Is it reasonable? In my opinion, a currency converter can only tell you so much... but in the grand scheme of things, is it a rip off? And, I also have to consider whether it's worth it when my mother will want to know where the money's gone, because she spies on my bank account to check I haven't blown it all - which happened recently (it was Christmas!). She took great glee in informing me I had £2.50 in my account. That's what I get for buying presents for my lousy siblings.
Anyway.... This is what prompted me to come onto Livejournal in the first place. I found some lists that I wrote at the end of 2009, and I figured that this is what I even got a blog for in the first place (aside from fic!spamming ofc).
Good things that will happen in 2010
· Leave school and start college. [check - and it was fairly wonderful. I love college.]
· Prommmm [it was alright - the after-party was much better]
· Soul Survivor. [an amazing time - it's a Christian camping event that I went to with loads of my friends. Loved it!]
· Finish GCSEs and party. [GCSEs done, thank God! As for the partying, probably not as much as I'd planned, but I did manage to throw up on all FOUR walls of my friend's bathroom, so I'll consider this a success.]
· Hang out with my wonderful and amazing friends. [check]
· Doing lots of Hot-Guy spotting. [haha. I'm lame. Check]
· Hannie coming home. [check - although this didn't quite go to plan. My friend Hannah moved to China in 2009, and was supposed to stay there until May/June 2010 at the earliest - she ended up moving back to England in January, because her parents got divorced. Ouch. But at least she came home.]
· Go on holiday somewhere nice and sunny - preferably without my parents. [check - I went to Germany with a friend for a week, blissfully alone]
· Turn 17 - then I can pass for 18 and go to see 18s in the cinema. [Well, I've turned 17, but there haven't been any 18 rated films that I've wanted to see. I have started learning to drive though, which is amazing.]
· Eclipse comes out in the cinema - and Deathly Hallows part 1. [Eclipse was so-so. Deathly Hallows blew me away. Can't wait for Part 2.]
· Lots and lots and lots of bleach. [And we have seen the end of the Aizen plot, which was a bit disappointing, in my opinion. The new arc doesn't seem much cop either. Tite Kubo, what are you playing at?]
Things to work on in 2010
· Losing weight for prom and for being a bridesmaid [haha, this didn't go to plan! There's still time before I become a bridesmaid though... New Years express dieting!]
· Getting an awesomely hot and also intelligent boyfriend who is madly in love with me and having a nice stable long term relationship. [I think I must live in some kind of fantasy world. (1) I'm not sure guys like this actually exist (I certainly don't know any), and (2) If said boys do exist, it's highly unlikely that they will be single, and also interested in ME. But here's to wishing.]
· Pass all my GCSEs with flying colours by means of much revision and hard work. [Wow. An acual check!? Go me. (Now I sound really bigheaded. I did get the best result in my school year though. Not to brag or anything ~_~)]
· Get into New College, do the baccalaureate, and work very, very hard. [Well I got into New College, but they never ran the baccalaureate, because not eough people wanted to do it. And am I working hard...? Well, harder than some, at least...]
· Exercise muchly. [LOL]
· Write to Hannah Jones more often. [Unnecessary. See above.]
· Keep a diary of the funny things that happen, or I’ll forget them all. [No... that never happened. I can remember lots of amusing times though.]
· Look to cook, so I could survive all by myself, like an independent adult. [I can probably cook the bare minimum to survive. I couldn't pass an an indepedant adult though.]
· Use a diary to keep track of all of my wonderful social life. [Surprisingly, check. No more double bookings!]
· Do something creative, in the form of creative writing and possibly drawing. [FANFIC. And this, to some extent.]
· Figure out an action plan for the future. [I have some hazy dream of being a writer. Fingers crossed?]
· Stop swearing, and mature into a wonderful human being. [Fuck, no. HAHA. I'm funny.]
· Punch Rosella. [No, I didn't have the balls. I would have loved to though.]
· Read lots of classic books and learn lots of useless trivia, and thus be able to shock people with my wonderful and overflowing intelligence. [I do this occasionally. And I've asked for lots of nice books for Christmas.]
· Do something useful with my life, and gain some sort of sense of purpose. [Debatable. What a vague resolution.]
· Create a leaver’s book do I do not forget my schooling experience - apparently it’s the best time of my life. [I haven't finished it still. I'm not sure that they were the best days of my life - but I wouldn't want to forget the people I met there.]
WOW. I'll be doing another list for 2011... I'll post them when they're done! Haha, Happy Christmas everyone :')
