You know that glorious moment when your phone buzzes from somewhere within the deep, dark confines of your jacket pocket? When you grin delightedly and think; 'Yes! I have friends!'. You fumble for your phone, clumsy with excitement and when finally, you find that magnificent little machine and jab at any and every button possible to illuminate the screen, then you find a nice cheery message.. from your phone company.
How frustrating.

Just two more years..
Back to the drudgery, cold weather and stress of school life.
I miss TY already.
Nearly two months into fifth year and already I feel the cracks in my once perfect plans are beginning to show. Plans to 'study from the very beginning' and to 'work myself to the bone' are distant memories. For the moment, myself, and nearly everyone else in Fifth Year, is running on autopilot because when you're given so much work to do in one night, and so many books to carry around with you, both your soul and your back are left screaming in agony.
Let me just say again, I miss TY.
Ah the days where the contents of a school bag consisted only of an empty copy and a home work journal.. where you'd laugh at the thought of 'homework' and even if you were given work to do, it was perfectly acceptable to disregard it completely and instead focus on your social life.
Have I mentioned how much I miss TY?

The End of the Shifters?
I finally finished it....finally!
I still can't believe it, I'm pretty sure I'm still in shock but on the 5th January at 1:30AM I finished writing the book that I had spent two and a half years working on.
My life has revolved around Kumiko and the Shifters and now that I'm done I'm almost terrified to hand it over to a publisher to be analysed, edited and printed. It'll almost be like a piece of my own heart is being read by whoever picks it up, my life story.
Of course i'm still very much in the process of editing myself, now I know, I know editors are there to do that for me, but i want it to be perfect. I want to keep it as true to Kumiko and the rest of my extended family as possible, because though they may only live in my imagination, they are my family. From Silver with her optimism (we all know somebody like this), Keiran with his mysterious past and adoration for Silver, Justice with his cockiness and being the guy you hate to love and love to hate, Griffin, the genuine good guy, Jordan, the father figure and even Regal, the sophisticated psychopath! :D
well right now theres not much else to say, i'll have to contact publishers to submit the book and if they accept i'll be seeing copies of my own work on a shelf!
Life is good. :)

Guys?
Girls are fragile beings.
They may say they're tough,
but their lying.
I'm not talking about strength or intellect, but any girl can lose her mind to that one guy. That one human being who causes her heart to skip a beat, the guy who makes her smile when she sees him.
You know a girl cares about you, if she restrains a giant goofy grin every time she see you. Fact.
I don't know how many guys will read this, I don't know if anyone will actually read this at all... But the truth is, once a girl's feelings have been spread out for the world to see, she'll never forget what its like to be hurt.
She may forgive you, she may smile at you in the same way and joke, but she'll never forget when you fucked up.
forgive and forget is only for guys.
A girl never forgets.
The smallest thing can turn us into nervous wrecks, we think you'll suddenly stop caring about us for no reason.
We think too much. please, please keep reassuring us why you're here.
These are just a few things...but for me they're important, perhaps guys think that these lists are pointless, maybe some of them are, maybe you'll never have to think of what you've read here again, but when the time comes where a girl is smiling around you for no reason, or 'forgives you' when you stuffed up, think of what you read here. It will help you. :)
That's all I'm writing right now, sorry !

Study time.
Right, okay I know it always takes me forever to write a new post, but seriously, is anyone even reading this?
Doesn't matter much anyway, I've always been the sort to have a rather interesting conversation with myself.
I bet you think I'm joking....
Right so the pres/mocks whatever you call them are FINALLY over!
Three words.
Thank. Fricking. God.
No longer must I sit for two and a half hours behind a ten-twenty page booklet filling out answers which I've guessed...! No longer shall I endure the torture of listening to the annoyingly smart people complain that they 'did so badly'.
That's always something that bugs me, I don't actually know if its the same for my non-existent readers out there, but I get annoyed very easily with people who continuously say; "oh I didn't study, ha ha, I'm going to fail."
No. That is not at all funny. Stop laughing you turd.
Perhaps if the person really didn't study and is freaking out (not too much of course) then I wouldn't mind so much, but its the idiots who can't understand where they went wrong and constantly call themselves 'stupid' when all they need to do is crack open a frigging book and perhaps, oh I don't know, read a line or two?
Okay, so I've gone through the nonchalant failure.
Now for the real torture.
The person who kills themselves studying, then claims they didn't touch a book.
Does this annoy you? I don't know if it's just me, but it absolutely drives me crazy.
You see, dear readers, there is a certain amount of work each student should put into their education. The main part would to be to do the homework they have been given, this is about...60% of the effort completed.
This is going to sound extremely hypocritical of me, but even I don't put in this much work, I do most of my homework, but I haven't done my math homework in about...three years, mainly due to the fact that even if I do it, the teacher doesn't care, so what is the point...? But I do regularly do all of my homework, and if I don't get something done, I'll do it the next morning at school, or stare innocently up at the teacher after spending ten minutes 'searching' my bag to murmur, "Miss, I think I left it at home."
Anyways, so once 60% of your required effort has been put into the physical work for school, the next 40% is conserved, only for exams, where the student will study (for the minor tests) the day before, and if given the chance, a small bit over the weekend. For the bigger exams, such as summer tests and all that shizzola, most students will, of course, start studying earlier than just the night before.
But I'm talking about the people who start studying in September, then claim that they 'haven't touched a book'. It's these people that bug me, the kind that feel that to be socially accepted, they have to lie. In fact, I'd prefer someone who admitted they worked hard to achieve their goals, rather than someone who gets good grades for no reason.
I know I'm cutting this short, but I've just started watching 'Percy Jackson - The Lightening Thief' and I can't be bother to write any more...

Read...? >:3
Right...so I thought I'd write a new blog. Just to let off a little steam again.
Okay, so I may have mentioned this before, but the mocks are looming.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not usually the sort to freak out before a test before breaking down in uncontrollable sobs claiming 'I can't do this!'
A test is called a test for a reason. It tells you if you dont understand something. Simple as.
Maybe I should do some more studying...?
Today was my first day really sticking to the books, to actually read it and consider how I would answer a question based on what I was reading.
So, What's prehistory you say...?
Prehistory is considered the time before writing was invented.
Well...thats how my Less Stress More success explains it..!
Right...
Well, Life is going extraordinary well at the moment! I'm delighted with pretty much every aspect of it. I came into a bit of cash which allows me to go out, my social life is expanding to no ends, I'm doing well (enough) in school and aha, the other things should not be mentioned. :D
Hmm...
I really think thats all I've got to say right now. I only really came on here to check if I have any new followers (which I don't) I lied about the letting off steam. maybe next time eh?
