Lost.

2009-09-05T22:41:00.001+01:00

Just now, I feel really lost.
I don't know what's going to happen next with people, and I'm confused, and fed up.

<3

Induction.

2009-08-26T11:25:00.002+01:00

It's my induction at my new school today!
Wish me luck!!
(I'll need it)

<3

Tumblr.

2009-08-25T13:59:00.000+01:00

I got Tumblr!!!
http://omgitslouise.tumblr.com/

I promise to stick around here too, but Tumblr will hopefully be a nice new home. =]
<3

Mornings.

2009-08-25T09:52:00.002+01:00

I'm currently having my favourite morning ever.
How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days is on, I've got the latest Vogue, and I just had a blueberry yoghurt and some orange juice.
And it's sunny outside.
:D
<3

Breakfast.

2009-08-24T16:46:00.001+01:00

I think I made the nicest breakfast ever today.
A layer of natural yoghurt, a layer of chopped banana, another layer of yoghurt, honey, then some mixed nuts.
It was beautiful, and really healthy.

Also, I made a lemon meringue pie today, and I'm really proud of it because it worked and I'm not a great cook. :D

<3

My two favourite people just now.

2009-08-18T21:43:00.001+01:00

Hope.

2009-08-12T00:11:00.000+01:00

I've been texting a friend recently, and I just needed to say, for the first time in a while I feel hopeful.
Not fake hope, which is when you pretend to be hopeful, so that other people are reassured.
But the kind of hopeful where you honestly believe that anything could happen. And I want it to happen... so badly.

<3

Missing people.

2009-08-10T23:00:00.002+01:00

One of my best friends is in Germany just now.
I feel really odd without speaking to him every day on Skype or MSN.

Tuesday can't come quick enough. :]
<3

Exam results.

2009-08-05T11:58:00.002+01:00

So, in May I sat my Standard Grade exams. These are basically exams that'll help decide which Highers I can do. I got my results today, and I got straight 1's in every exam I did this year!!!!! (I did English last year and got a 2) I'm so ecstatic!! This is super awesome, because I got a 1 in maths, which means I can actually take Higher Maths at my new school!!! I wish I could tell you how happy I am just now, it's unbelievable!!!

:D
<3

I Lyk You.

2009-08-02T23:23:00.001+01:00

I like you more than I should,
more than you could ever like me too.

<3

Back.

2009-08-02T13:21:00.002+01:00

I'm back from my holidays, and I promise a proper blog with pictures and everything as soon as I can be bothered. (:

All in all, it was amazing! I really loved Washington DC and New York. Big cities are my favourite places. I love the feeling of being absolutely lost amoung millions of other people.

I also got an addiction to coffee, and thai food. There's this really awesome thai restaurant near where we staying, it was called Pongsri (I think) and it's on 23rd at 7th, its brilliant. The chicken peanut sauce was amazing!!! It's such a shame there's no good Thai restaurants near me =[

More later, I promise :D
<3

Holidays.

2009-07-14T23:23:00.000+01:00

I'm off on my holidays!
Back on the 30th! :D

<3

Friends.

2009-07-12T22:06:00.004+01:00

This was taken on my last week at my current school, because I'm switching schools after the holidays.
I love my friends.
<3

The Musical That Shall Not Be Named.

2009-07-11T21:33:00.002+01:00

I am in love again, with a musical.

<3

Free time.

2009-07-07T22:29:00.001+01:00

I've blogged lots in the past couple of days.
Having free time is either really productive, or really not-productive, depending which side of the table you're at.
I really haven't done anything these past couple of days, and while a part of me is really bothered by that, the rest just doesn't care enough to do something about it.

In other news, I signed up to Tumblr, but I don't know how to use it or what I'll use it for, so basically I'm signed up for no reason.
Yay!

:]
<3

Little Miss Sunshine.

2009-07-07T14:40:00.001+01:00

"I'm so glad you're still here."
"... That makes one of us."

<3

Ok.

2009-07-06T19:38:00.000+01:00

Ok, so Sound of Music just made me cry.
That's never happened at this film before.
"Climb Ev'ry Mountain."
Man, I need to get a grip of myself.

Too many blog posts, rawr rawr rawr.

<3

The Hills Are Alive.

2009-07-06T17:21:00.005+01:00

A couple of years ago I went through a series of obsessions with different musicals.
I've always loved musicals, and they've always been tucked away in the back of my iPod or DVDs.
However, recently I've been on a bit of a musical kick, especially with Wicked (which I've never seen, but I just love the music from it) and Les Miserables.

This morning, I put on the special features of my copy of the Sound of Music. I then fell in love again, and went and found the music book, and played through all of it.
I'm now watching the film, and I love it so much.

Julie Andrews is so amazing, and insanely pretty and talented, and I'm pretty much in love with Captain Von Trapp, and I always wanted to be Liesl.
Man, I'm such a nerd.

<3

Rain.

2009-07-06T09:58:00.000+01:00

It's raining now, and I feel so much better.

Although the thunder is much louder, and it's kind of scary, but I love it.
:]

<3

Thunder.

2009-07-06T09:52:00.000+01:00

I hate thunder.
Well, I do sometimes. I don't mind storms, like when there's thunder and lightning and it's raining.
I hate thunder when it's just thunder. No lightning, no rain.

=/

<3

New phone.

2009-07-05T21:48:00.001+01:00

I have a new phone, and it's pretty.
It's the LG Viewty Lite, and it's pretty much made of awesome so far. :]

<3

Standing Ovations.

2009-07-03T21:30:00.001+01:00

At our show two weeks ago, we got a standing ovation.
So in the last of our theatre groups shows tonight, the Seniors 2 one, my three friends and I, sitting in row C, gave them a standing ovation.
The only people in the whole theatre who stood up.

Heck yes.
:]
<3

Summer.

2009-07-02T20:34:00.001+01:00

I'm now officially on my summer holidays as of 12 noon, yesterday.

So yay for seven weeks of freedom, sunshine, and holidays!

But it's toooooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!

<3

Hope.

2009-06-30T18:35:00.002+01:00

Hope is never lost.
It just needs to be found.

<3

Damaged.

2009-06-28T10:41:00.003+01:00

Taylor Swift's music is one of the only ways to nurse a broken heart.
Well, I say a broken heart, it's not really broken, more slightly damaged, maybe scarred a bit.
The point is, that Taylor Swift's music is really amazing.

I've found that I never get who I want. Ever.
It's always the skinnier, prettier, blonder girl.
Whatever. I don't care any more. At least I'm still friends with him.

<3

Today...

2009-06-27T20:56:00.002+01:00

...I got my new school's uniform, which I wasn't really looking forward to, but it's actually not that bad. It's a tartan skirt, navy jumper and white shirt, which is really different from my old uniform of black trousers/skirt, white shirt, black jumper and school tie... and I kind of like it a bit too. >__<

Also, months ago, I was in Topshop, and I was going to buy a skirt for £35. I went in today, and it was on sale, and the tag said £15, so I went to buy it, because it was cheap and awesome. I only got charged £10 for it. I'm so ecstatic!!! :]

And I got Taylor Swift's CD. Please don't judge me. Never mind, I judge me. >_<

<3

Inspiration (or lack of.)

2009-06-20T12:02:00.002+01:00

I really want to blog just now, or make a video or something.
But I don't have time to make my NFG one just now, and I have nothing that I can blog about just now, that won't take forever to write about.
It was the first of two nights of the show I was in last night, and it went wonderfully. I just love acting and performing on a stage which has had so many inspirational actors on it.
:]
<3

Production Week.

2009-06-15T21:53:00.002+01:00

The show I've been working towards with my drama group for ages now is on Friday and Saturday of this week, meaning we're officially in production week.
I had a 4 and a half hour rehearsal on Saturday, 2 hours tonight, and 4 hours pretty much every day this week.
Don't get me wrong, I love theatre, and I love performing, but I hate production week.
There's just too much tension and arguements for me to enjoy it. Anyway, by Thursday, on our dress rehersal, I'll be so excited for the show that it'll all be fine. :]

In other news, I couldn't make my NFG video last week. Well, I filmed it, but I couldn't find the cable to connect my camera to my computer, and then I had to go out to see the Beginner part of our drama group's show. On Thursday, I had rehearsals all day, and was too busy on Sunday. Next week's not looking too good either.
Oh well, I did try, I just failed. >_<

<3

Valkyrie. [SPOILERS]

2009-06-13T23:04:00.003+01:00

I just finished watching Valkyrie, and I can honestly say it's one of the best films I've seen.
I loved it, and it's based on a true story. It inspires me that, even against all the odds, people are willing to stand up for what they believe is right, and try to fix what's wrong.
What I find even more incredible is that the main character's family and wife survived the war. When the Nazi's were willing to kill anyone who had any connection to someone who resisted the government, it's insane to think that his wife only died in 2006.
I'm not really a fan of Tom Cruise, I don't like how he acts in interviews, but I thought he was lovely in this, just perfect.
Bill Nighy and Kenneth Branagh were amazing, as always, and the guy who's name I can't remember but who played the doctor guy in Yes Man, was awesome.
Seriously, you should watch it. :]

<3

Thinking.

2009-06-13T13:24:00.002+01:00

There's someone I know who always manages to make me think.
He makes me think about who I am, why I do what I do, and what I actually think.
I'm so grateful for that, because he makes me realise when I'm wrong, and helps me do the right thing a lot of the time.
Thank you.
<3

Deleting.

2009-06-11T18:00:00.004+01:00

Most of my friends use this site, Bebo, to share pictures and stuff. It's like a mixture of MySpace and Facebook.
Until today I had about 12 photo albums of old school trips, days out with friends and all these photos I didn't look at ant more.
So, I went on a bit of deleting spree, and I know have 3 photo albums. One of a school trip to Italy skiing in 2007, one of a school trip to Paris last year, and one of the last day of term, which I think was taken in 2007, but I'm not sure, and they all make me smile no matter what's going on just then.
I wish I'd taken more decent photo's throughout my life, but what's done is done. Hopefully I should be getting my new phone soon, as soon as I have the money for it. It's got an awesome camera, so I hope this summer will be different. :]
<3

ps, the picture is of some of my friends and I at a service station in France, just before we went through the Mont Blanc tunnel, I think. :]

What is wrong with the people of Britain?

2009-06-08T17:57:00.002+01:00

The BNP got 2 seats in the European Election.

What the hell?

<3

Glasses.

2009-06-07T18:01:00.002+01:00

I want these in pink. But they're too expensive. Stupid saving. =[

<3

Happy June!

2009-06-02T17:43:00.002+01:00

I absolutely love the weather we're having just now. Full of sun and warm-ness, I love it. I don't finish school until 1st July, but I can't wait. We've just changed our timetables over to the ones we'll use after the summer, and mines is pretty awesome. I love the lack of maths and sciences. This year, I took Higher French, Modern Studies, English, Music and Int 2 Business Management, all of which are pretty awesome so far. Apart from some hypocrtical idiots who seem to just want to frustrate me just now, life is good.
<3

Music.

2009-05-31T14:13:00.002+01:00

I just put 5-10 CDs of my dad's old music on my iPod. I now have stuff like Elvis Costello, Electric Light Orchestra, Human League, all these great bands that I haven't listened to before. It all started with a conversation with a friend yesterday. We were talking about music, and she's got this great eclectic taste in music, and knows all these great unknown bands from 1960s onwards, and was reccomending all these people to me. I only found some of them in my Dad's CD collection, but I'm definitely going to try and find more.
<3

Nostalgia.

2009-05-30T00:44:00.005+01:00

I just watched the DVD made of pictures of the trip I went on with my school last year to Paris. I really miss it. I want to go back. :]
<3

I kind of love this.

2009-05-25T14:32:00.001+01:00

Who Was It? LFRC by Coco Tutu ♥ featuring Humanoid

And All That Jazz.

2009-05-23T12:57:00.002+01:00

So, I'm off to see Chicago in Edinburgh tonight.

I'm really excited, it's one of my favourite musicals!

This is like the second time in 3 weeks that I've been through to Edinburgh to see a musical.

I love theatre and musicals so much though, it's brilliant!

In other not-so-news, I recieved some really great news last night, but I don't think I can share it here just yet. My friends and people who might not be so happy about it need to be told first, but I'll post it either here, or in a nerdfightergirls video after that. Definitely before July. Hopefully.

Yay for Voldemort?

2009-05-22T19:30:00.002+01:00

I can't believe how long it's taken me to see this.

Yes, I like Twilight, but I can't stand Edward Cullen as a character, and I hate all of the hype surrounding the series. I also hate Twilight - Harry Potter comparisons, because while Twilight's okay, Harry Potter is just so much better! The books are totally different too, so I don't see how they can be compared.

Ice cream.

2009-05-21T21:25:00.002+01:00

How pretty are these? They're "Strawberry Cornetto Flowers."

I kind of love that picture.

Almost as much as I love Strawberry Cornettos.

It's a serious addiction, and they're just too good. ^^

Topshop.

2009-05-18T15:59:00.002+01:00

I'm kind of obsessed with Topshop just now.

I shouldn't buy any of their stuff because I'm trying to save money, but it's so difficult not to!

How pretty is this dress?

Or this one?

And I'm actually in love with this one.

And don't even get me started on how beautiful some of the clothes in the Kate Moss range are.

Facial Hair?

2009-05-15T16:51:00.002+01:00

Yeah, I grew some.
What do you think? :]

<3

One left. :]

2009-05-14T21:42:00.001+01:00

I only have one exam left now, and that's Biology, and it's not until the 28th.

So I've pretty much got two weeks off school :]

Good times.

In other news, I hope tomorrow is sunny like today, because I have plans with friends to sunbathe and eat lunch in the big park that's near the town.

And then we might film some stuff :]

Photos.

2009-05-14T19:49:00.002+01:00

I want to start more posts with photographs, or pictures. I like reading other blogs with pictures in them, even if they don't always link up. I really like this picture, it makes me smile. :]

...

2009-05-13T16:49:00.002+01:00

... I think I'm really starting to love Taylor Swift and her music. What's wrong with me? I used to hate over-rated and over-hyped bands and artists, but more and more I'm starting to like them. It's weird.

And she's uber pretty, it's so unfair. I wish I had her hair, it's so nice! =/

A letter.

2009-05-13T16:17:00.002+01:00

If I spent a couple of hours with you today, then I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm so awkward.
Honestly, I'm only quiet because I don't want to embarrass myself. You're awesome, and maybe we should do something like this again soon? Honestly, Scottish Ceilidh music with Blues chords and jazz totally work. xD

<3

Les Miserables.

2009-05-13T00:36:00.004+01:00

Yeah, so I've currently been pretty into watching films, as that's how I work best, if there's something on in the background. I was looking for my Les Mis DVD last week, and I couldn't find it anywhere.

I have it back now, so I put it on. And as per usual, Colm as Valjean makes me cry when he sings this and Lea Salonga as Eponine makes me cry. Just that character's story upsets me.

I love this musical, I need to actually see it live.

<3

Heck yeah!

2009-05-12T16:37:00.005+01:00

I got my Johnny Durham t-shirt.
It's kinda big, but I like it a lot =]

Umm...

2009-05-11T21:23:00.002+01:00

Yeah, so it's been a while.
I think I start pretty much every blog with that.

Star Trek was freaking awesome. I loved it. I've never seen the original of anything, but the guy that plays Sylar in Heroes was in it, and Simon Pegg was too, and I love those guys, so it was awesome.

Hannah Montana was....... Yeah, I don't have much to say about it. It was exactly what I expected, which was an absolute cheesefest and not much else. But I had a great time with my friends. :]

West Side Story was pretty awesome. The whole thing was done without microphones, which was awesome, but sometimes the orchestra was too loud. The choreography was excellent though. I didn't particularly like the Maria, but the Tony could really sing, and Anita was hilarious and a great actress.

I only have three exams left!
I had Chemistry today, and now I've only got History, French and Biology.
I can't wait to finish up with these exams, I hate them =/

<3

Umm...

2009-05-07T17:05:00.000+01:00

I just noticed that most of the most recent posts, in fact all of the posts so far, have been me blabbering (spelling?) about Skype conversations.

Sorry, I really don't mean to bore you about them, but they really are awesome :]

<3

Films, much?

2009-05-07T16:57:00.002+01:00

It's been a while...

But to be fair, I've had exams, and most of my time has been spent studying *coughcoughSkypeCallscoughcough* ^__^

So, I just got back from seeing Star Trek, which was totally awesome. I've never seen the original, but I really liked the film :] I liked Sylar as Spock, I love that guy, and Simon Pegg's Scottish accent made me laugh :] (If I can't remember actor's names, their called by their most famous character. Just to let you know :])

And tomorrow night, I've got plans to see the Hannah Montana movie. There goes my almost decent taste in movies... But seriously, I can't wait! ^_^

And then the night after that, I'm going to see West Side Story in Edinburgh with my neighbours. I love that musical, so I can't wait.

This post makes it sound like I've got a really exciting social life, but this is the first time I've done something like this in ages :/

Gotta go pretend to study some more. =D

<3

Youtube fail and more Skype :]

2009-05-03T00:50:00.000+01:00

Oh, hey YouTube. I've already seen these videos in my subscription box. Several times. Why won't you just delete them already?? Thanks :/

More Skype conversations tonight. Only two of my closer friends out of the group yesterday, but it was still nice :]

And I watched Dodgeball tonight, which is one of my favourite films, so that made me smile :]

Woah, overdose on smiley's much??

<3

Conversations and smiles.

2009-05-01T23:03:00.001+01:00

That was one of the funniest conversations I've had in a long time.

It ended up being me and like 5 guys from school, so it was pretty fun.
I only normally talk to a couple of them, but they're all pretty funny.

And I introduced them to Omegle, which was hilarious :]

<3

Skype smiles.

2009-05-01T19:32:00.002+01:00

I'm currently having a Skype conversation with some of my favourite people I know in real life.

I feel happy. I like it a lot.

They're currently arguing about music. This is awesome.

I can't get over how awesome they are.

Sorry for the lameness of this post, but this is so unusual for me, to actually phone people rather than MSN them or text them.

Gosh, that's embarassing.

<3

Obsessions.

2009-04-28T22:02:00.003+01:00

So, my friend let me borrow the first season of Gossip Girl, since I found watching half episodes on rubbishy small screens with Chinese subtitles kind of difficult. And since I have exams coming up, I was going to limit it to one episode a night and two on weekends. Yeah right. Why did noone warn me how insanely addicting this show is?!?!? I've gotten through 2 discs (8 episodes) in two nights. Really. So I'm revising and watching. Trust me, it works. I got 5 episodes, and a past paper and 3 maths exercises done. :]

Umm, yeah that's all I have to say.
I've got too much to do before tomorrow to have much time to say much, but I promise better blogs after these exams are over. My first exam is on the 5th, and my last ones on the 28th, but most of them are in the first couple of weeks, so I'll blog better soon. I hope.

<3

Awesome in a parcel.

2009-04-27T17:00:00.002+01:00

So, today I got home from school, and there was a big brown envelope from Maggie!!!

In it, was a really sweet letter and all this really cute stuff (great descriptions, huh?) and a heart that she made for me in a video for my birthday, and a friendship bracelet!

It's so freaking awesome!!

In other news, I haven't been blogging much, or at all, but I've been studying. I've got stupid Standard Grade exams coming up. I say coming up, but my first one is on next Tuesday. Not good. So I've been revising as much as I can before I freak out. >__<

<3

Lalala.

2009-04-24T21:09:00.002+01:00

Not much happened today.

What a great way to start an exciting blog, huh?

I listened to Great Big Sea pretty much all day today, and now I'm addicted to their songs. They make me smile even if I'm in an awful mood.

In other news, I got my nerdfightergirls video up pretty early tonight :]

I hate revision, and this couple of weeks is going to be full of it :/
I've got my Standard Grades this year (7) and my first one's on the 5th of May. :/

This post had no real point, other than I wanted to post something.

<3

People.

2009-04-23T18:10:00.002+01:00

It amazes me how people can be so different.
Not particular people, just humans in general.

A lot of people I know well are really annoying me just now, and generally just making me feel sad.

Then again, there's a couple of people, that just by saying a couple of words to me, or smiling at me, can make my whole day so much better.
I wish my world was filled with these people.

In other news, I introduced one of my friends to Great Big Sea. Which always makes for a good day :]

<3

Ugh.

Today was really productive. I cleaned my whole room, and now it's all neat and organised, and I did a Chemistry and a Maths past paper, and revised a bit of my French vocab. I hate exams. :/

But I'm feeling awful. I've had a cold since about Friday-ish, but now it's just gotten worse. I hate being sick. I hate being stressed because of exams and drama and stupid people. I hate being sick and stressed.

Sorry for the awful mood, but just now I want to do nothing but read Total Film or Skulduggery Pleasant and then sleep for a long time. I need to do more Chemistry revision though. And I need to drink this Lemsip, which I hate. I don't see what's appealing about hot lemon juice. >__<

I'm going to leave this now before it turns into a full blown rant about stupid exams and even more stupid people, who seem intent on making me angry and sad.
Ok, enough of the complaining. Positive thinking. There's a 3-page article on Harry Potter in Total Film. :]

Clearing Out.

2009-04-20T17:59:00.003+01:00

So I've been rearranging my room recently, I got rid of furniture that was taking up too much space, and bought bookshelves and a seat-box to put in my window. As I've been doing this, I've been clearing out old junk that I don't need anymore.
I just came across some old diaries from about two years ago. I sat down and read them, and couldn't believe what a selfish brat I was. I only complained, and got mad at unnecessary things. I couldn't believe what I thought of people who I now trust, and what I thought of people who I now loathe.

I hope I'm not this selfish anymore, and I hope I don't act like I used to.

In other news, I have had this stuck in my head for the past day. Please, kill me?

Oh yeah, and I fail at BEDA. Already. >____<
I'm sorry.

Why, hello there!

Location: my bedroom floor. yep, I got bored of my seat.
Listening to: The Parselmouths MySpace.

So, here I am again.
A new blogging site, a new blogging account.
I don't really know why I can never stick around in one site for long, but I like the look of this place, so I hope this lasts :]

I wish I was a better blogger, and that I had more enthusiasm for writing whenever I feel like it.
But I'm not and I don't, so that's not great.

I think I'm going to take part in my own version of BEDA.
It starts today, and I blog every day until the end of April. And the rest is kind of obvious. >__<

Right now, I'm chatting on Skype with Kylie and Maggie.
They're so awesome, and they always make me smile.

I went to IKEA today, and got bookshelves for my room, which will be good, because I need someplace to put my growing book and CD collections.

I want to sleep, but I know that with sleeping, comes waking, and with waking, comes revising. And I really don't want to revise. I have to, but I hate it.

I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Or rather, later today. :]
