So, I haven't obviously updated my blog in a while, and because I have time to do so, and many things to include, I can do one now, although it is going to end up being an early blog, but it doesn't at all really matter.
First off, I should put this week should be amazing, well, not everyday of this week, but most days. The days that shall not be so splendid will be when I go to the doctors, due to the unfortunate timing of a blister, that doesn't appear at all right, and stings like a bitch. I won't tell you more about my foot or whatever, because one, it is disgusting, and two, I don't want my blog to be very much about my foot. But I do need a doctors appointment.
Onto what I'm supposed to be really mentioning in this blog, tomorrow I'm getting my helix pierced. For those that don't know what the helix is, it is pretty much just the top of your ear, but it pierces through the cartilage, meaning it cannot be pierced with a gun, but with a needle. In all honesty, it actually sounds pretty painful, and I admit, I'm not particularly one for pain, but I'm looking forward to getting it. I also mentioned in a previous blog that I was going to get tickets to see Wicked for my 16th, and well, I did, so now I've got plans, and am going to see my favourite ever musical, although, the tickets are brilliant, they are not right at the front, as I did refuse to pay £66 for myself, and then added from my friend and family (friend not being plural because my other friends don't like Wicked, which is fair on them, but I don't understand how someone can't like it.
Next, is this Saturday, in which because my mum brought The Sun for over a week and a half, she got little coupons in the newspaper, and after collecting a few of them, she sent them off and got two tickets to Alton Towers. My sister has her camping practice this weekend, which my mum second optioned me and asked me to, of course, after asking my sister. I suppose I'm upset that my mum chooses me after thinking of my sister, but its better than her not bothering with me at all, which happens quite often. Regardless, I'm excited to go, and just hope I don't get sick of any of the rides, which would mostly involve me going on high ones or fast ones to get sick.
Also, speaking of my mum, last night (27.06.11), she went to see Take That in Birmingham! I was quite jealous she went, and she hadn't even told us she was going or brought tickets till about 3 nights before she went, but at least she enjoyed it, and she also came back with a t-shirt, which I kinda' wish she'd brought one for me to.
That is pretty much it so far for these few days, I'm also waiting on my replacement shirt to come for the US, so when that comes I'm guaranteed I'll be wearing that to Alton Towers, just to make sure it fits. Below are the What The Buck Show videos for the past few days;

That is it for this blog. Believe it or not, I thought that it was going to actually be longer, I seem to have that thought often when I write a blog, but it just never seems to happen. I'm pretty sure that I'll make more blogs this week, and I'll make one for tomorrow after getting my ear pierced, I should note, I'm nervous, and I'm really afraid of the pain, but I'll mention what actually happened tomorrow, and of course I'll blog Saturday or Sunday, reporting on Alton Towers, and that will come with pictures, and tomorrows blog should include a picture of my earring.
Till my next blog (tomorrow).

Well, I did say I'd do a blog when my shirt and necklace came, but due to the fact that it turned out I brought a junior's shirt, I had to send it back to get one that fits, so, the only thing left was for my necklace to finally arrive, in which it did.
So, below is a photo of the lego crocodile necklace I brought from the U.S;
So, below is a photo of the lego crocodile necklace I brought from the U.S;
As it turned out, this necklace turned out smaller than the original requirements had made it to be. But I couldn't care less, because I love this necklace & hope to add it to an outfit, when I find one suitable to actually where a crocodile necklace with.
I've also recently started making a scrap book of the things that I like and love, whether it be TV or things that I want to buy in the future. I believe the idea came from the fact that I didn't want to bore myself with doing nothing due to the fact that school has finished for me now, until I go back for sixth form and to college. In order for me to occupy my time, I thought of going for daily runs, but then I'd see to many people and I'm a lazy ass and would prefer to go to the gym, but not every day because then I'd be wasting money.
I then thought of going on the computer, but I get bored of doing that believe it or not, so I thought, why not? By some magazines, cut things out of them and stick them into a notebook.
I bet some of you are wondering 'how is that any less boring', well believe it or not, it isn't boring at all. I find things I enjoy and stick them down in random places, and it takes away hours during the day. I actually suggest that people do it, for instance, an example of two of the pages I have already done;
I understand that one the page above I put 'you are fat' and the reason to me is because that is my motivation to loose weight. If you don't understand then you don't need to, because this book is just images of things that mean random things to me, and some of the images may even stand out to you. I have more pages then that above, I just decided that I wanted to show examples, not my entire book. I may do that if or when I finish it, which believe me, shall take time.
That is pretty much it for this blog, I really wanted to show you the shirt I got, but it turns out that it will be for another blog, but that is alright for me, because it'll give me something to write about, which I'm lacking in.
Oh, in fact, to add another thing, I'm hoping that this weekend I can get my top ear pierced in stone, because in all honesty, I don't like where I am, so I'd rather do it somewhere else. and then I also aim to get my Wicked tickets today for my 16th next month, to see the show at the Victoria Apollo in London. I'm literally very very excited!
Also, below are the What The Buck Show videos that I haven't posted, and if you are starting to subscribe to him, and watching his new videos without the need of my links, then that is great! But I still put links up in case new people read my blog and/or want to watch new videos and such. I may even make another suggestive youtube video blog that you guys should watch, but I might not, so just check out his videos for now;
So, those are pretty much it for the videos, I actually see a pattern that they come in threes now, but it might change, I can't say for sure, or when my next blog will be, maybe tomorrow, maybe not, and it will include things about Wicked because it is my favourite musical of all time and I am not just saying that, I do love it, like ALOT.
Anyways, until my next blog.

So, my necklace and shirt still haven't come, so no I still don't have any photos, but I'm starting to like being able to post on any day available, even though you'll be getting a new post once in a while, but I won't forget, or stop, so it is pretty much all cool.
First off, I went ASDA today to buy some new DVD's, and what I came out with was Paul and Black Sheep. Now, I loved Paul, I went to see it in the cinema, I laughed and cried at it because it was just that good, and Black Sheep, although it is a horror, and I don't actually like horrors all that much, it is mixed with comedy, so I thought, why not? I have seen it, I did enjoy it so I went and got the film...well, eventually.
You see, when I went to the checkouts to buy the two DVD's, as it turns out, I need a ID now. You've got to understand that I'm not 18, or 21, I need an ID to prove that I am 15. I was told to get an ID out, not that people need their looks anymore just to be proof enough, and because I didn't have a ID, I had to out the DVD's back, which actually royally annoyed me.
I ended up resorting to getting my sister to phone our mum to come down so she could come and buy them for us, which was embarrassing and stupid, but it did end up happening and because she was there, I got a third DVD, an 18, as I can't buy a DVD that states it's for 18 because I have another 2 years to go, but what does it matter really? I can't get any other film until I get an ID.
Anyways, the DVD that I got my mum to get was Wanted, with James McAvoy, of whom is one of my favourite actors and of course I liked the film also, so yeah, that was pretty much most of my day and the photos are below;
There aren't that many again, but mind you, I haven't posted for 2 days, so I don't believe that are that many videos that can be posted as he does it daily, and F.Y.I, one of those videos is for today, so for 2 days you missed 2, and then I included today's also.
That would appear to be it for this blog, and I'm feeling a little down I couldn't have made it better, or that I should have put more effort into it, but I didn't sadly, but anyways, it should be alright, I will most likely make my next blog bigger hopefully. Until my next blog.

The only other thing that I have done today is I went to Radford Bank, which is basically a carvery, for a fathers day lunch, and because my Dad is dead, it was more like a granddad day lunch. Either way, all I know is I stuffed my face, I ate ice-cream and I'm still feeling the effects of eating to much, but it was good.
I don't have much for this blog, which is starting to become a thing with me now, I used to write huge blogs, but now, they are just getting smaller. I think my life needs a bit more to include so I can write about it.
Maybe in my next blog, I'll write more about me, about what I like, what I hate and so on, but I mainly want to get my shirt and necklace blog done first.
Also, for tomorrow, I mentioned in my previous blog that I have men coming to change the heaters, and that day would be tomorrow, so I'm not entirely looking forward to that, I guess, I'm just going to have go for a walk out, or anything not to just get in the way.

For some reason today, I could have done this blog earlier, I just chose to wait till later on in the afternoon to do it, and I have no idea why. I wasn't feeling lazy or in any position not to be able to write it, I just didn't.
In all honesty I don't want to feel that again, so whether I do or do not want to do it, I will, but only if I'm actually at the computer because I can't do it with my mind, sadly.
Now, all of today I have been at the computer, I won't lie about it, but for nine or so hours I have been at the computer, I should note, I don't do it often, just once in a while, and the reason as to why I've been on for so long is because I've become obsessed with shopping online.
It's where I find most of my t-shirts and jewellery. But the only downside to it all, is that I want everything I like, and I don't have all that money on me because I'm saving it up to actually buy them and more.
I don't think that made sense did it? If it did make sense to you, then good, if it didn't make sense then what I meant was I don't want to use the money I have now to buy anything, because if I do, I'll have to start saving up all over again, so I've decided not to buy everything I want until I've saved up enough.
I think I've just gone and confused it all up, but I can't explain it any other way, because for one thing, I've done it twice now.
Apart from that, this blog is kind of short today, just like yesterdays. I think this week is getting to become a little slow, and I know for a fact that when my necklace and shirt comes I'll blog about them, so that'll be fairly bigger than this one.
Also, I fear that when I brought my shirt, that I didn't put down the right size, so now I might get a shirt from the U.S and it might be to small, or to big.
If it does turn out like that, then I shall be miserable and extremely annoyed, because I had the same issue with a Bayern Munich shirt I brought once, which turned out to be really, really small, so I had to send that back, only that was from a store in the U.K, not the U.S.
I'm freaking out over it now. I guess I have to wait till it comes now to find out, which will be such a waste of money!
Also, What The Buck Show's link for today is below;
http://www.youtube.com/user/peron75#p/u/0/6i9T9iZWFls
There is only one because he hasn't made his next one yet, so that'll be in my next blog along with the other links for his future videos, just remember to keep on checking them out!
Also my apologies for this one being so small, although, some of you might think it's great because there isn't so much to read, I don't know, so, until my next blog.

I feel more better doing my blogs when I'm available to do them, so when I make a blog it may just be on random days, but I aim to do it so I have at least a few a week, or even more, but I can't be 100% guaranteed.
Anyways, for the best 2 and 1/2 days my family and I have been cleaning out each room and other rooms also because council men are coming to replace the heaters, and because the heaters wire are underneath the carpets in both the upstairs and downstairs room, we have pretty much had to move everything out.
As we're tidying though, I stumbled across t-shirts I had actually completely forgot about! Not to mention other un-mentionable s and even a few magazines that had managed to stay in shape.
It's been quite tiring believe it or not, because apart from finding random things, we've also had to carry tables and boxes downstairs even 5 minutes to make more room for other boxes, to then fill them up and then take them downstairs, kind of like a loop.
The men are coming on Monday, but our house is a ridiculous mess, and I also believe my mum to be a hoarder also, that is why there is so much junk in my house.
Apart from that, I've been pretty much balling my eyes out almost every repeat of Cold Case that has been on.
AND DON'T JUDGE ME EITHER.
I find the episodes really sad, the story-lines are just brilliant. Mind you, I've only got to the fourth series, so I have another 3 to go, and they may get worse, or so I've heard/been told.
But for now, I just get so miserable over them, although I know that they aren't actually real-life, besides some that are based on real-life events, which saddens me more, but they are so well acted, and you feel sorry for the character, even the bad guy!
And let me tell you, only a few shows can make a bad guy look good, or even allow you to remotely feel sorry for them. I actually suggest that people watch Cold Case because it is a terrific series, infact, definitely one of my favourites.
I've also been getting alot of the music that is played at the beginning or during the end of the episodes.
Which means I've now become addicted to listening to songs like Oasis's 'Little By Little' and Tim McGraw's 'I've Got Friends That Do'.
I think that is it for this blog, because I haven't got all that much more to add, except I brought a lego crocodile necklace off the internet, so I'm really excited about getting that, infact, I'll show you a picture along with my new t-shirt that's coming.
Below is the What The Buck Show videos that I didn't post for the past few days, so you can watch them now, unless you're following his channel, which would be fantastic.

You know, you didn't actually miss that many videos because luckily he didn't make to many, and only one of them is an actual full on video, the other, well to you that would be the bottom one, is shorter.
Anyways, I do believe I'll make a blog tomorrow because I have nothing to do, at all, and plans won't even pop up, but for safety until my next blog.

16.
I really should stop ending some of my blogs with 'until tomorrow', seriously, I shouldn't write that because on some occasions I can't post the next day, or the day after that, which is exactly what I've done, so, so sorry for that!
But, now I've remembered I'm now able to write this blog, and I sincerely hope that I'm able to make one tomorrow also, because I've pretty much got NO EXAMS LEFT.
Gosh, it feels great to say/write that! But, that is of course for now, because I got accepted into my sixth form, which I'm shocked by because I only went to that school for about 7 months, and not to mention the fact it's going to be a little hard to get there on time, as I live 3 miles away, and then lastly the issue of finishing my work and spending to much time on it.
I'm just completed amazed I was accepted, and no point in moping, as it is over and done with, just like my exams!
Now.
Slightly awkward moment yesterday (13.06.11) because I turned up for my last history test on the wrong day, and then I was almost sent into a year 10 English test. To say it was awkward is an understatement, but I laughed and forgot about it, and my test was today, well, this afternoon actually, and I didn't do so bad, even though my hand really hurt afterwards, also near the end I had to rush due to the fact that I had about 10 minutes left to do 2 questions, one worth 7 marks the other 12, and what I did was rush both, but focused more on the 12 marks.
For me, time goes excessively fast, especially when trying to do a test, it seems everyone else can finish 15 or so minutes before the end, except me, I'm still writing.
I guess I just hate time limits, like, a lot.
I don't suppose anything interesting happened all that much in the past few days I failed to blog, I got some new magazines, new posters (which to be honest I get every week), I've spent a lot of time thinking, watching some TV, as I do.
OH!
I almost forgot, a while back I brought a t-shirt, this one to be exact (I know I mentioned trying to refrain from putting images into all my blogs, but basically, I change my mind all the time, so sometimes I don't stick to what I say, but I always try);

I almost forgot, a while back I brought a t-shirt, this one to be exact (I know I mentioned trying to refrain from putting images into all my blogs, but basically, I change my mind all the time, so sometimes I don't stick to what I say, but I always try);
Of course, it looked better in real life, but I got this shirt, from a site called shirt.woot.com (I will add a link at the bottom) and it took about 2 weeks to arrive, I then got it, was quite pleased with it, and not long after, say about 3 or so weeks, I'd placed it in one of my draws, my mum took it out, obviously to wash it, and she went and lost it. To say I'm still angry is quite an obvious guess, and I'm going to have to buy myself a new one. It isn't that I'm strapped for cash or anything, it's just I shouldn't have to buy a new t-shirt because my mum couldn't leave things along in the first place.
So we pretty much gave up looking for it (I believe she's gotten rid of it, she believes it's still in the house, who knows), and I decided I'm going to have to buy myself a new shirt, I thought about getting this one again, but I can always get it any other time, so I went searching through the internet for a new shirt, and it was terribly hard.
I'm not joking with you either.
It really is hard to just pick one shirt out of so many because I couldn't choose one, and then it got worse when there was about 50 I wanted to buy, but I had to narrow it down, and after (I do not lie here) about 6 hours I settled on 2 t-shirts. One of which was a girls Green Lantern shirt, the other a A Very Potter Musical - 'Gettin' Back To Hogwarts' to do list, and after thinking for 10 minutes, and realising the Green Lantern t-shirt meant having to pay £28 postage and packaging, I decided with the A Very Potter Musical t-shirt, which looks like this;
Actually, because it is a front to back t-shirt, I had to take 2 screenshot's (and of course I'll give the link below), but yeah, I ended up with this shirt, and it won't be the last Starkid t-shirt to say the least, I'm just hoping that my mum or anyone looses this. I don't know how long it will take to deliver either, because it didn't mention it when we brought it, so I'm going to have to sit by the door and/or letterbox till it does, and I'm seriously hoping it fits me, otherwise I'll be quite annoyed.
Should also mention, my mum opted to buy it for me because I payed for my last t-shirt I brought, so because she lost it, she owe'd me a new one, and I'm super mega excited.
I'm a little relived I had something to mention in this blog now because I had no idea what I was going to put, so thank god for everything that has happened in some retrospect, even though I seriously want my shirt back. I also have a 'gotta-look-at-t-shirt-that-I-so-want-to-buy' addiction, so I'm going to have to sort that out.
Quick mention, I'm tad a bit annoyed at people on Facebook that feel the need to post that they have a Tumblr. You don't do that, you do not post anything Tumblr related on Facebook. You shouldn't care about how many more followers you get, you don't mix the two up. I don't, neither should idiots on Facebook. If they knew anything about Tumblr in the first place they should know that they should accommodate it with Facebook. I shouldn't rant like that, and I'm not being hypocritical either because I don't do that, but it is so annoying, it really is.
The links for the What The Buck Show that I haven't posted are below, as well as the links for the T-Shirts I previously owned and have just brought to (I'll take a photo of my t-shirt when it arrives aswell, and I'm hoping not to be disappointed aswell);
http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=8901 - Delorean from Back To The Future crashing into The Tardis t-shirt.
http://skreened.com/totallyawesomedesign/gotta-get-back-to-hogwarts - The A Very Potter Musical t-shirt.
Hope you guys actually take a look or even buy one of those shirts because, well, why not?
I'm not going to end on a 'till tomorrow' line again, but more like a 'till my next blog' because then that makes more sense, and I always go up in number order, so it shouldn't be hard to find my last or other blog or whatever, so, yeah, till my next blog.

Friday 10 June 2011
15.
So, as it turns out, I'm actually going to be doing my blog early, which then means that you can't get the What The Buck's new video till tomorrow, so I'm sorry for that, but I'm doing this now because I'll be busy later, and I'll be able to just get this out of the way.
Now, first off, I had the second part of my maths exam this morning, and although it was fairly easier as it was a calculator test, I failed to finish that one aswell, even with the extra time I was given again, I didn't finish it, and it has really annoyed me, but heck, if I get a low grade I'm going to have to take a resit, which is going to end up costing me money and start all over again with a different exam.
I finished most of my history questions, except the ones I chose to leave out and I also finished my English, my honest to god least favourite.
Weirdly enough though, I'm not beating myself up over this one, and I know I should because I want to take A-Level mathematics, but if I get stressed out I won't concentrate and I'll worry to much, so I'm going to just let things play out. Not forgetting that this Monday is my last history exam, and any after that! (Unless I will have to take resits).
I'm now going to do what I mentioned yesterday, and if you can't be bothered to look down the page a little, or remember, I said I was going to show you a photo of my memo board (which in also fairness consists of no memos whatsoever) and describe why I have each individual photo or whatever on there in little brief descriptions (even I can't write that many giant paragraphs, well, I can, but not on this certain topic or, topics even).
Why I'm doing it, is because I need to create a blog, I have nothing else to write about, and I thought I'd share it with you. So, moving on, my board actually looks like this below;
All Time Low (2 images).
Clearly one of my favourite bands, as I've mentioned in past blogs. I seriously LOVE their new album Dirty Work that has come out, so I'm actually going to buy it. Also, if you've noticed in my picture, Alex Gaskarth has his previous blonde hair, rather than his now dark auburn hair.
Movie ticket stubs. (2).
These 2 stubs are actually from seeing Tangled in 3D and Paul. 2 actually really fantastic films, and I collect the stubs from the movies I go to see at the cinema, sadly, I've lost a few, and then a few I'm unable to put on because of the no space left issue. So, I'm going to of course by a second board, as they only cost £2.75! Hopefully my stubs will add up, but for now they are actually the only ones.
Russell Howard ticket.
I went to see him on February 16th of this year, and I cannot explain how much I enjoyed it! It was on his Right Here, Right Now tour, and he was in Liverpool at the Echo Arena, and I had wanted to see him for a long long time. I saved up, the ticket only cost me £28.50, which was so worth it! I plan to see him again, but not the same tour, I'm just going to buy the DVD, even though I already know what he's going to joke about. I also seriously love comedians, so he isn't the only one I wish to see this year and years to come.
Albert Einstein tongue image.
I just found this hilarious, and because I wasn't able to find a bigger one, I printed off a smaller image and just placed it on the board. I do like Albert Einstein, and some of my favourite quotes are by him. I mean, I can't remember it fully, but it goes like 'A life lived with others is a life worth lived', or something along those lines. I also knew this was a famous image, either edited or real, so I naturally wanted it.
Cut out image from Heat magazine.
If you are wondering which image I'm on about, it is the one that states 'It's a good feeling beating Cheryl!'. The reason for this image is because last year Danni Minogue won with her entrant Matt Cardle on X - Factor even though the odds were with Cheryl Cole winning with one of her girls. But as she didn't, she had lost out to Danni. Now what you have to understand is, the reason I chose to put it on my board is because I hate Cheryl Cole. Whether it was in the girl band she was in, or appearing on commercials or on TV, I don't like her, so I put it up because I was happy she didn't win with one of her entrants.
Scott Pilgrim VS. The World images. (2).
I basically just loved this film enough to get 2 images from it. One of the images is for a signing where the creator is located. I don't know why I have it, I just don't have the heart to take it down.
Matt Smith as The Doctor.
Do I really need to say much here? Matt Smith is ridiculously attractive, Doctor Who is one of my personal favourite TV shows out there. I don't think my board would have been completed without him anyways. This image was also the most awkward to place because most of my other images were rectangular, so I ended up under-laying and over-laying and found a way to place it on.
Small Film Poster images. (6)
If you can notice them all, they are Blades Of Glory, Fanboys, The Social Network, Dinner For Schmucks, Footloose and The Shining. All of which are films I've seen that I've loved. In all honesty, I saw the images and put them on my board. Now, Fanboys is a film I'd suggest a hundred times over, as the same for Footloose and The Shining. Don't get me wrong, I love the other 2 films as much, but I have a thing for old films.
TV show images. (4)
Fringe, House and Scrubs are obviously long running shows. Except for The Walking Dead. I don't even think I could make it a week without watching at least one episode. I mean, the cast, the characters. Robert Sean-Leonard, Hugh Laurie and Jesse Spencer are not only attractive, but amazing actors. The Scrubs image is of the new series, which admittingly, I am not fond of, but I however did enjoy the first 6 series, so that's why the Scrubs reminder is there. With Fringe, J.J Abrams I believe is a genius, and is also the mastermind behind The Event and Lost (am I the only one severely disappointed with the ending? I thought it was terrible for a show that went through all of that) this show is soon to be on hiatus for 6 months, but god, I'm so glad it actually came out. The Walking Dead was given to me by a friend who suggested it to me, it's safe to say I watched the entire of the first series, but
The Glee Gleek Tour image.
Well, obviously I seriously want to go see Glee live! Not only that but I'm an honest Gleek. I adore Glee and I couldn't see myself hating it at all. I would take it down, I wouldn't replace it either. I love the characters, the storyline, the ups and down and most importantly, the music. I don't know how many of their songs I've got that they've remade from the artists I already love and made it 1000 times better. Then you have the subject of the original songs they've made. I can't find any fault, and when I manage to get a new board there shall be assurance that I'm going to put more Glee images up.
The Heads. (2)
I don't really know where I was going with the heads, one is of Keira Knightley, then the other is the Psycho scream face. I guess the scream face was because I adore Alfred Hitchcock movies and Keira Knightley was made because I liked the cut of her hair. Infact, I don't know much why they are on my board, I just don't have the heart to take them off.
and then finally and lastly;
The phone charms. (2).
I don't even bother putting them on my phone! I collect them, like my ticket stubs after every time I go to the cinema. They always are of Pokemon and at the moment I have Chicorita (or however you spell it) and Totadile (again, the same on the spelling). I've actually had more of them, but they only ever give me the same one or two, so I just give them to my sister.
That should know be it.
I've come to realise I spent over 2 hours on this, and I don't want to drag on anymore due to the fact that I have indeed realised that this is quite a long post. I did, on some of the explanations lack a little, but because there was not a lot really to write about them.
I assure you, and I am assuring myself that I shall not be writing another blog like that any time soon, and I mean on the sense of a board, not a long journal, I have a tendency to do that, and no matter how many times I tell myself I won't do it, I do. So you have to bare with me on that one.
I cannot post a link today, as sadly, I do not have on. I have checked and come to learn that What The Buck Show hasn't made a new video at the moment, or during the long period I was writing this.
I would also understand if you choose not to read through this entirely, and just glance or scan through it, because in total honesty, like in a previous blog before I would totally not read all of this, but I did write it, so I can just say I've read it all already.
Till tomorrow, where I will post double links for today and tomorrow's What The Buck Show, infact, I really need to stop doing these journals earlier than normal and having to post a link the very next day, I must get my act together.

Why I'm doing it, is because I need to create a blog, I have nothing else to write about, and I thought I'd share it with you. So, moving on, my board actually looks like this below;
I've just realised how crummy the photo actually looks, and looked way better when I was taking it, but like the images on my walls in my last post, I'm lucky to have gotten all the images in the photo. Now, I'll just list down with what is on the board and little descriptions. (If you wish to view an image or the images better than just click on the photo).
Psych (2 images, 2 quotes).
Now, if you're wondering what the quotes actually say, one says;
Shawn: 'Good morning, detectives. Collecting for the policemen's ball?'
Lassiter: 'We don't have balls'.
Shawn: 'I have honestly no response to that'.
Then the second quote is;
Shawn: 'My pilot's license? It's out back in the Cessna. Or perhaps you're referring to my license to kill. Revoked - problems at the Kazakhstan border. I'd give you the details, but then I'd have to kill you...which I can't do, because my license to kill has been revoked'.'
You should have known that by now, I love Psych. It's one of my favourite shows on the TV at the moment, sometimes I get annoyed with the romance, but the bromance between Gus/Shawn makes it always worth watching.All Time Low (2 images).
Clearly one of my favourite bands, as I've mentioned in past blogs. I seriously LOVE their new album Dirty Work that has come out, so I'm actually going to buy it. Also, if you've noticed in my picture, Alex Gaskarth has his previous blonde hair, rather than his now dark auburn hair.

14.
Sadly, due to being busy most of yesterday I didn't actually have time to make a post, so now, today, because I'm literally free for the entire of the day I'm going to have to fit two posts together into one, but considering that most of my blogs are actually quite long, and I have on few occasions mentioned more than one day, this post should just look as casual as the rest.
Now, in my last 2 blogs, I mentioned that I'd put images up, and they would be of my posters that I have on my wall, or I need to put up and haven't really gotten around to doing that first, and then the blog that is supposed to be for today afterwards.
I should also stipulate that one of the reasons I wasn't able to do my blog was because I was doing maths revision around my teachers house because tomorrow I have my second and last maths test, which I believe should be fairly easier because it's a calculator test, and I'm also really hoping that I finish this one, unlike my last maths test on the Monday.
But moving off the subject of tests because I normally get myself all stressed out about them, I took the 2 different photos of my wall, because all my posters wouldn't fit on one picture, and I can use two clear photos to show what I have on my walls, at the moment anyways, because I have far more to put up.
First off is the wall above my head;

First off is the wall above my head;
This wall consists of;
4 All Time Low images.
2 Oli Sykes images.
1 Jared Leto image.
1 You Me At Six image.
1 giant The Beatles 3D poster.
2 giant Doctor Who posters.
If you can't tell already, I do really love All Time Low, and I do actually have more images of them, but I don't have any more room to fit them, because next to my bed is my wardrobe, and I can't really fit any posters behind that. Also, it is terribly hard to try and fill in the white gaps, so I really had to think about the placement of the posters. I'm a little relieved I managed to do it aswell.
My next wall is the one to my right;
This wall consists of alot more images, one of which appears to have been cut off, which just goes to show I couldn't even fit all of my posters on one wall with just one photo. On this wall is;
1 Scott Pilgrim VS. The World image.
2 big The Beatles images and two small Bealtes postcards.
1 Jensen Ackles image.
1 Vampire Sucks image.
1 1966 Adam West as Batman image.
1 Frankie Boyle image.
1 Oasis image.
1 Russell Howard Live;DingleDodies image.
1 One Direction poster.
1 big All Time Low image.
1 Inception image.
1 tiny little Paul Rudd image.
1 David Tennant poster.
1 Matt Bellamy poster.
1 Limitless image.
1 Bones image.
I have far more on this wall, and I was afraid that the list would go on longer, but I'm a little glad it didn't. The reason for the Inception, Vampire Sucks, Limitless and Scott Pilgrim VS. The World images is because they are some of my favourite films, so why not have images of them up on my wall? The reason for the Adam West as Batman image is because I just LOVED the old Batman episodes. They were so cheesy and hilariously bad, but mainly, I love Adam West's voice. If you've noticed, I've got a few postcards and tiny images, that is because I needed something to cover up the white gaps, because, no matter how many times I tried to re-arrange my wall to avoid any gaps, I always got a few, so they were my best option to try to getting rid of them. The image that was cut of was yes, my Bones image.
So, that is pretty much my walls. Sadly, there are no more posters on them, but that is because I haven't had time to put any more images up.
I have quite alot left to add, mostly from my SFX, Kerrang! and Film magazines. I don't just get posters and images from magazines, sometimes I print them off (Jensen Ackles, Frankie Boyle, the top Beatles image) or I get some as give-aways from newspapers.
I said in one of my last two blogs that I was deeply disappointed with a poster I got from a Doctor Who magazine, now, what the image showed me, was just The Doctor (if you look at my blog that has the image with the Doctor Who magazine, then you will see what the magazine showed and made me believe the poster to actually look like), but it actually opened up to show not only The Doctor but Amy Pond also, wait, I'm pretty sure I mentioned all of that in the previous blog, so I'll just show you a photo instead.
Understanding the fact that this poster may look good to some, it just really saddened me because I only wanted Matt Smith as The Doctor, but, I shouldn't be so ungrateful, so, of course I'm going to put it up, because I don't exactly want to waste it, but I won't make a silly mistake like that again, I hope. Also, another poster I got recently was this;
Most people should be able to recognise him and the character he is portraying, but in the case that you don't, it's the ever most attractive Ryan Reynolds, as the DC Comic hero Hal Jordan or Green Lantern. I like this poster because I SO want to see this film, and I just to inform you, this poster isn't a big one like it would appear, it is more like the size of the All Time Low poster on my right wall, but I don't think that would matter entirely to you because it is of course going on my wall.
That should pretty sum up my posters and images thing I've mentioned.
and it looks really long, and I mean really, really long. But, I'm going to put that down to the fact that it is because of the images, that I would have shrunk smaller, but didn't because you actually need to see the images.
The second part of this journal was supposed to be based on the today blog, but I haven't got that much to say, due to the fact that I've spent my time writing everything in the blog I was supposed to have done yesterday, so, because I'm a generally lazy person at the moment, I've decided that all of the above counts as today's and the days before blog.
But, because I'm partly interested at the moment, I should mention that tomorrow I am going to blog. and it will include a image, but this time instead of just showing you the image and writing what is on it, I'll show the image, write what is on it and then write about why I've put those certain pictures up in little brief descriptions.
But it will be early as I have my maths test in the morning (which I shall also inform you how that went) and I can just come online straight afterwards, which means due to the fact that What The Buck Show doesn't post until later on, I'll have to include the links tomorrow, or, in the event that I don't blog until after that video comes out, then I can just post it straight away with blog. I don't know, what I do know however is that I owe you links to the What The Buck Show's videos that you've missed and I failed to put up, so they are below, and because I also said I owe you, each link is to a different and new video, so it saves you have to go onto his channel (and in order of video posted);
That would then be pretty much it for the videos you missed, going from the 6th, to the 7th and onto the 8th. Man, I can't believe how many he videos he makes, I almost missed one of them, but anyways, just click and watch. That should pretty much be it for this post, so if you actually read it, congratulations, because if I were you, I'd glance/scan through until I see something interesting, but that would be me, whatever you do is whatever you do.
Till tomorrow anyways.

Tuesday 7 June 2011
13.
I've actually managed to blog at an early time, and the day after my last blog.
I'm feeling quite impressed with myself, well, I feel impressed with myself at this minute, as just about an hour and a half ago, I did my first history test.
Now, this test didn't go as horrible as my maths test yesterday, but I could have done a little more revision, but in all honesty, I think I did as enough revision as I could have done because I couldn't possibly know what exactly was on that test. But that is beside the point.
I got in, I talked to my history teacher (and a few others, who pretty much told me the same thing, to 'not write for England', and to not 'spend so much time on one question', as I do both of those things, which is one of the main reasons why I never actually finish a test).
But anyways, I talked to them, I got in to the hall, sat down (for the history exam, because my school is really small, and there are like 50 of us in year 11, and only 15 of us who took history, so the hall was literally almost empty besides from us few) and the man who reads out what to do and watches us for the test did his thing, and I started the test.
Now, the first 2 questions, 1A and 1B, I'll be blunt, there were hard. I don't remember anything or even learning about The League of Nations and Japan, so I just wrote about 3 sentences, which should get me at least 1 mark out of the 7 and then the second question I couldn't remember anything about why the League failed in Abyssinia from 1935-1936. I could only remember something about sending someone over for peace negotiations, so I wrote about 5 sentences which hopefully should get me at least 2 marks, but this time out of 8.
I just couldn't win with the first 2 questions, so I moved on and of course, I know a butt load about the treaty of Versailles, so I went quickly through that one, then there was something on the Hitler youth, and I knew all about that to, then onto something involving Hitler in power and the promises made, so I guess, at the beginning of this test I failed quite a bit, but I think I got better going through, but I can't really know if that is true until I get my results.
You know, I say that most of the time in my blogs revolving around my tests, that I won't really know till I get my results back, I believe I should just start off with that or something, instead of babbling on, but, I don't think I'll be able to stop babbling, so you'll have to put up with it in my blogs.
I should also point out I also gave my mum the wrong time to pick me up. Turns out 120 doesn't mean 1 hour and 20 minutes, but it means 2 hours, so my mum actually sat in the car for an hour, and I couldn't tell her because, well, I was in an exam. There was me, thinking I knew all about time and I couldn't even remember that there is 60 minutes in an hour, so double 60 is 120, which is two hours.
I should note, I know now because my brain is functioning, and I remembered my error. I've also come across the fact that I need to finish off my science, because I've left it for a while, and I actually need that GCSE.
I'll just be relieved that after next Monday that I have no school until September.
Apart from my history test this morning, nothing else has happened, and to be honest, my blog is early, so nothing else can happen until after this blog, but it is a Tuesday, so I'm doubting that anything interesting will happen anyways. I guess I should mention that I can't stop listening to Les Miserables 'At The End Of The Day'.
It just really is addictive to listen and sing to, infact, check it out, you'd understand why. But, the one I'm listening to is from the 80's. There are a ton of remakes, but all so great, so in fairness, it doesn't matter which one you listen to, it's the same lyrics, just an updated tune.
That is it for this blog, it's a tiny one, which is an improvement from having to read one that is stupidly long. Anyways, tomorrow I'll do the whole poster and images blog that I said I'd do today, but decided I didn't want to so I'm doing it tomorrow.
Now, because I've done my blog this early, What The Buck Show hasn't made a new video yet, so what I'm actually going to do is give you a link to another youtuber I love, so you can check that link out, and then tomorrow I'll give you the link I should have given you today, along with the one for tomorrow (I normally say go check out his page and just look for yourself, but because I should have posted it today and am not, I owe it to you readers. So, check the link out below;

So then, until tomorrows blog.

I'm feeling quite impressed with myself, well, I feel impressed with myself at this minute, as just about an hour and a half ago, I did my first history test.
Now, this test didn't go as horrible as my maths test yesterday, but I could have done a little more revision, but in all honesty, I think I did as enough revision as I could have done because I couldn't possibly know what exactly was on that test. But that is beside the point.
I got in, I talked to my history teacher (and a few others, who pretty much told me the same thing, to 'not write for England', and to not 'spend so much time on one question', as I do both of those things, which is one of the main reasons why I never actually finish a test).
But anyways, I talked to them, I got in to the hall, sat down (for the history exam, because my school is really small, and there are like 50 of us in year 11, and only 15 of us who took history, so the hall was literally almost empty besides from us few) and the man who reads out what to do and watches us for the test did his thing, and I started the test.
Now, the first 2 questions, 1A and 1B, I'll be blunt, there were hard. I don't remember anything or even learning about The League of Nations and Japan, so I just wrote about 3 sentences, which should get me at least 1 mark out of the 7 and then the second question I couldn't remember anything about why the League failed in Abyssinia from 1935-1936. I could only remember something about sending someone over for peace negotiations, so I wrote about 5 sentences which hopefully should get me at least 2 marks, but this time out of 8.

Monday 6 June 2011
12.
I want to start off by saying today hasn't gone so well in the sense of tests.
Turns out that instead of a history test, I had a maths test, so I didn't need all that revision I did on history for Monday, and upon realising that I went to use the computer for revision for maths that I should have revised for, but didn't realise I had a test on, and upon logging on and trying to access the internet, it turned out that my connection was down.
Now, I can understand that some of you are thinking 'well, there are other methods of revising for maths', and well, yeah, I thought of that, but you see, I got rid of my maths books because I've pretty much finished school until I start in sixth form, and then I don't really own books on maths, because, well, you know, it's maths.
It is also the reason why I didn't get chance to blog yesterday either, but back to the matter, now, because I didn't have any source of revision for my maths and I pretty much just winged it through the entire test.
Winging a test is possibly one of the worst things you can do if you're;
1. Not intelligent.
2. Don't know the basis of the test.
3. Or have never actually winged a test before.

1. Not intelligent.
2. Don't know the basis of the test.
3. Or have never actually winged a test before.
I've only done the top 2, and yes, I have actually winged a test before, not one of my most intelligent moves, I've winged a test more than once actually, so you're right in getting the assumption that I don't revise very often, or something else gets in the way. I couldn't possibly tell you what exactly, because there are alot of things, and I do mean alot.
I don't even know where half the stuff that I get distracted by comes from, but it's safe to say, that I blame the internet. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't use it as often, but come on, it's the internet.
But, besides from winging it, the worst was to actually come. I started off the test fine, some questions got me, some I just stared at for like, ten minutes, not a great thing really, and then some I just got through so fast that I can't remember the actual questions.
I do remember one however, I'll show you the example, but it's not exactly the way the question looked or was wrote out, so I'm just guessing somewhat correctly;
'What's the exact remainder you get from dividing 4467 by 3'.
I presume that isn't the way it actually was, but it's close enough, and because it was a none calculator test, I did it all on paper and in my head.
If you're wondering what answer I got, it was something along the lines of 1155 r. 2, but, I've just done it on the calculator, and although I'm not a hundred percent certain that it was the actual question but my calculator came out with 1489.
Now, like me, you've noticed that there is no remainder, so I've wrote the number of the question out wrong, so I don't really know the question.
Plus, no, I didn't get the remainder part wrong, as it actually asked for the remainder, so I know that I wrote the number to be divided wrong, my bad.
Infact, when I get my horrid results back, I'll tell you what the question was in a blog, but I'm not going to tell you my actual results, because that is far to personal and can be spread or whatever, so I'll just write out the question and the correct answer, because I'm just guaranteed that I got it wrong, I just know it.
Aside from that whole question thing, out of 26 or so questions, I only answered 18/19, I can't remember exactly, but I know it was one of them.
and the worst part, this was even when I was given extra time.
I couldn't even finish the test on extra time.
I don't know whether you've felt the feeling of never finishing your actual proper maths exam, even with the given extra time, but it is so heart wrenching.
Not like when you're watching TV and one of your favourite characters is in a life or death situation, but a heart-sinking-to-the-bottom-of-your-chest feeling.
It's so awful.
I'm just hope that when it comes to my calculator test this Friday that I finish and don't have to rely on extra time, and then get loads of marks. It may actually seem a little much for me to ask or rely upon myself to do, I just, don't what to wing it again. and as for my history exam? I have that utmost pleasure of failing that tomorrow.
I know I'll fail because it is me, I mean, even after all the lessons I've been to, all those practice tests, practices questions and reading from books and the actual internet, I know that when I'll come to the test tomorrow, it'll be about something I barely know anything about, or I'll have forgotten.
I might just even stress myself out so much that I'll end up just blanking on everything I've learnt, so I'll write tons of gibberish.
But until tomorrow morning, after I've finished, if I'll finish even. I won't know. So here is me, hoping for the absolute best, and that a miracle shall strike upon me and let me remember everything for a great grade.
But that is all down to hope, and I know what it feels like to lose it, so I shan't rely on it that much.
But that is pretty much it on the basis of how miserable I am about the whole exam thing, so today was pretty much all fail. Infact, I sound so down in this blog, don't I? I just believe I have reason to aswell. Another reason for my annoyance is for yesterday, when I went round to my corner shop. I originally just aimed to get a drink, or some crisps, maybe even both, but I went round, and because normally when I go to get my crisps or drinks, I go near or past where the magazines are, and because my sister had already got the film magazine for this month, I didn't bother glancing for it, but instead, another magazine had caught my attention. This time it was a Doctor Who magazine, and I LOVE Doctor Who if you don't know that, so, instead of bothering with getting a drink, I went to check it out. Now, I couldn't go through the magazine (of which I really wish I could have done now) due to the fact that it was a special edition, which basically means that it came out in a packaging, as in it, it contained a giant poster, specifically, on the actual image, of The Doctor.
I have 2 giant posters already, one of David Tennant as the 10th Doctor with a Cyberman from like, 2 years or so ago, and then one from last year, of which shows David Tennant again, but on the opposite side that of Matt Smith, the then to become 11th Doctor. I think I'm going to have to do my next blog showing my wall and it's posters, most of which consist of everything I love, so in all honesty, prepare for a big blog tomorrow or whenever, if I remember.
Anyways, I saw the poster, of course, I wanted it. As you should know, in order to get a poster with any magazine, you must buy it. Now, I had around £6, and the magazine was £4.50. I thought it was a rip off in all fairness, but because the magazine weighed quite a bit, I thought, 'yep, just going to get it, who knows? Maybe there will even be more posters on the inside', so, I picked it up, along with a red bull that was on sale (I know couldn't afford any of the crisps I liked or wanted) and then brought them. I walked home, got in, and then opened it up.
Now, in my next blog I'll show you what I mean, but I opened it, got the poster out, but what I noticed was the fact that it was bigger than I thought, and so, I opened it out, and it turned out that instead of just The Doctor, it opened up larger and I saw, with huge dissapointment, because I hate this character, that Amy Pond was on the other side, minus Rory. Which kind of left my upset, because I can't use this poster, without her character being there.
Then, next thing I did was open the magazine, read and scanned through the pages, and alas, I found another dissapointment, the magazine did not only contain absolutely no posters, but it was so terribly boring and un-informative about most things I love about Doctor Who.
Some of you are probably thinking, 'you should think before you act', or 'you shouldn't just buy a magazine for posters', yeah, well, that is true, but I just do, and heck, I even thought there was going to be something interesting in the magazine, but there wasn't.
I'm actually going to buy it again next month (I believe it to be a monthly magazine) and I'll see whether or not if it's anything better, otherwise I won't buy it again, understand that it would have cost my £9.00 if I don't like it or £4.50 if I like the next one. Who knows? Well, I will and whomever reads this blog whenever I write about it next.
I did say in my last blog that I might post a picture, well I am, and it's of the actual magazine, in case any of you recognize or buy it, and you should be able to see where it shows The Doctor and the little poster part;
Admittingly, not the best image, but it is actually the only one I took, and I even managed to turn it around as it was originally on its side, but you should just be able to get the idea from the image.
Also, new What The Buck Show video aswell shown below (there are actually two new videos, so just check out his page, because I can't be bothered for two links, when you can just check yourself), and then, until my next blog, which shall contain images, or even not, I'll just decide then and there.
Infact, I've decided now, my next blog won't include pictures, because I've done two already with an image, but it shall be the one after.
I'm sticking to what I've said, that my blog shall contain images, but not my next one. If you don't understand, you will as it will make sense, believe me, I'm lucky not to have confused myself, so, until my next blog.
Alana.
