I've been unwell again today, so I decided to watch a bunch of movies to try and make myself feel better. I always feel sad when I watch FF7, and I don't really know why. There's just something so haunting about this film, and I'm not sure what it is.

I think next on my list is Howl's Moving Castle, because that and Princess Mononoke are like, my favourite Ghibli Films. Oh, and Whisper of the Heart. I haven't factored in a lot of the films. I didn't think this through.

Elizabeth
i could get sea monkeys, but they're just pointless and evil

Charlie
yea..I never had sea monkeys

Elizabeth
i did when i was little
they started eating each other

Charlie
but I always pictured little monkeys
Haha
wow
not too smart...

Elizabeth
there were just like legs floating all over the place

Charlie
Lets survive! by eating eachother!

Elizabeth
xD
to be fair, i don't think i actually fed them like i was meant to

Charlie
lol, pictureing human legs suspended in water...

Elizabeth
LOL
you'd think they'd go for the legs first
so they can't swim

Charlie
Hahaha

Elizabeth
they aren't going to drown, are they?

Charlie
Wouldnt be good if they did
Anything with Sea in its name shouldnt be able to drown

Elizabeth
the irony!

Charlie
Bahaha

Elizabeth
why are we talking about sea monkeys?

I got Charlie's video over here on the actual day that I'm meant to see it so I'm happy!

I've been in a bad mood pretty much all day. I've definately flunked my crime exam, so I'm going to resit it in May or June when I take my health exam. There's so much I need to do for school and I just feel like ripping my hair out. I hate sixth form. I hatehatehate it!

In other news though, I've decided to watch my collection of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, since I have no more Yu-Gi-Oh to watch. I'm going to wilko's this weekend to see if I can pick up some more cheap YGO DVD's :D

It baffles me how stupid 4Kids dialouge can be.

I have my crime exam tomorrow, and I'm not going to pass, and I know that, so I'm sort of okay with it now, I'll just have to resit in the summer. I'm sure I'll post about how difficult the exam was tomorrow.

I'm waiting for my video to upload, and then I'm going to bed, because I'm so tired and I feel like just watching some Yu-Gi-Oh! while I relax for the first time in about a month.

It kind of sucks that I usually have to wait an extra day for Charlie's video.

I'm starting to think about living on my own now, and it's freaking me out so much. I've never even washed any clothes before, and I'm going to have to do that when I movie away from home and I'm scared I'm going to end up screwing up. I'm so scared. Really freakin' scared, and I don't think I'm even close to being ready to leave.

I've been revising a lot today, and playing on Animal Crossing. I think I'm addicted to Animal Crossing which is not what I wanted to happen. At some point, I need to go to Sutton or Mansfield to get some boxes and then I can sort my room out after my exam. Yay. Life never stops being exciting.

I'm going to watch the Sunday Night Project now, I think.

My brother and my sister-in-law are litrally the most amazing people I know - I love them so, so much. I just wish I was closer to them. They gave me this amazing bracelet for my birthday. It's this 'hand-bashed' silver band that shines so much in the light, and they gave me this card saying:

'Happy 18th Birthday!

Dearest Little Beth,
We hope you have a simply splendid birthday!
You are very precious to us. Wear the gift always so you know we're always with you! We're very proud of you! With all our love, Beth & Tosh xxxx'

I nearly cried when I read it. I love them. I love everyone who was at that meal tonight. I really do have the most amazing people in my life. I'll never take them for granted. Again.

I really swear I'm going to start updating daily from today onwards. It's just this week has been horrible and I've been insanely busy. I've just finished watching Pom Poko. It makes me feel rather sad to be honest. I watched Grave Of The Fireflies yesterday, and that really did make me feel terrible.

I have reservations for Cafe Nomad tonight with my family, and I'm excited to see them all. Even my brother's going to be there, and he's never really done anything with me for my birthday. I just wish that Wardy and Stuart could have come, then it would be the best day ever, I swear.

I need to have a shower, and then I'm going to watch the Yu-Gi-Oh movie I think :D

I hate that I'm 18.

I woke up to my mum singing happy birthday to me, and I just wanted to crawl under the duvet and die. I had a text from Wardy waiting for me once I checked my phone, and Livi text me about an hour later to wish me a happy birthday. And just after that, my brother and sister in law rang me to sing happy birthday down the phone to me, which was weird. I've never spoken to my brother on the phone before. I got some pretty nice things this year. A new watch, a 9ct white gold necklace from my sister, a silver charm bracelet from my Auntie and my niece bought me a Disney Princess necklace, which I was told to wear all day. On top of that, my mum's paying for my driving lessons.

Then I had to go to college. I thought about going in for Art, but I can't stand Mr. Rankin, and I didn't want to deal with it on my birthday. So I spent an hour on top of pit tip on my own, thinking about how my life has changed. Somehow, I haven't cried all day. Then I went to see the learning mentors, and Terresa made me this lush cup of tea before I decided to walk up to sixth form. I ran into Claky, who gave me some amazing things. He got me a card with a huge essay inside of it, which made me smile. And Fruits Basket Volume 5, a Hoops and Yoyo notebook and a painting which he did of Vulpix. I love all of it. When I actually got into the building, I went to sit with Laura because she looked pretty upset, and she'd made me a Madina Lake card for my birthday which I adore.

When I went home, after seeing Simon for a while, Claky came with me, and we hung out for a while, played on Animal Crossing and Dragonball Z. Then we had cake, there was more Dragonball Z action, and then he went home.

My other Brother and sister-in-law came over after that, and they'd bought me a Bad Taste Bear, which was pretty embarrasing to open in front of my mum, I must say. I sat on my own for a while, and watched some friends before Wardy came to pick me up. As I'm writing this, I realise that I left my presents in his boot. xD

We went to see Twilight (again) and I loved it as much as I did the first few times xD

Right now, I'm listening to Bella's Lullaby, which is such a beautiful song. The soundtrack is amazing, I must admit. And I just want to finish off this post, with a lovely picture of Mr. Cullen and Miss. Swann. <3

Face = Priceless.

I hate that someone took the channel name 'Vlogpals'. It took me about an hour to film and edit my video, so I hope that I can find something to talk about on Wednesday. I cannot wait for Charlie's video tomorrow.

I'm seeing Twilight again tomorrow for my birthday from Wardy, and on top of that, he gave me his Madina Lake hoodie, which I love, and he's bought me three Studio Ghibli films too. I'm determind to get the whole Studio Ghibli collection at some point in my life. So far, I have:

The Cat Returns
Pom Poko
Kiki's Delivery Service
Howl's Moving Castle
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbour Totoro
Spirited Away
Only Yesterday

And I get three more added to that tomorrow. I <3 Studio Ghibli.

I suppose I'm just delaying talking about my stupid birthday that's happening tomorrow. A lot of people turn 18, and don't feel any different. I turn 18, and my life changes. It sucks, it sucks, it sucks. So tomorrow's going to really be my last day of feeling like a child, since I get treated to all this stuff that I don't deserve. My neice, Jaden's bought me something, and she said that I have to wear it all day.

Oh, and I may be seeing Twilight again on Saturday before my birthday meal.

I really, really love Twilight. It's one of the best films I've seen in a long, long, long time.

Anyway, I'm going to bed to watch some Friends. Yay.

I'll talk to you when I'm 18.

I had the best time in Nottingham, and I loved Twilight. I want to see it again. I don't know how I would have gotten through the day without my cherry Chap Stick. I feel like I'm addicted to that stuff now, and I only bought it yesterday.

Madina Lake have a new song out, and I love it. I listened to it on Friday when I was at Wardy's house and I've barely stopped since. It's so catchy, and it's only like three and a half months until Attics To Eden comes out.

I just laughed to myself because Angela Petrelli is in Friends. Ahaha. xD I just seriously laughed when she said "Michael! A pimp spit in her mouth!"

And one of my friends is 5 weeks pregnant! I ran into her on the bus and I'm so incredibly happy for her. It's weird though because everyone around me seems to be growing up so quickly, and I find it so weird.

Anyway, Vlogpals starts tomorrow. I'm so excited. It's great that I'm going to get to know Charlie over vlogs for however long the project goes.

In other news, I got a birthday card yesterday. From Geoff Hoon, who's a member of Parliment. It was to try and persuade me to join the Labour Party for just £1 of my money! Bargin. Or not. Whatever.

I'm excited. I'm going to see Twilight again tomorrow with Claky and Laura for my birthday, and I'm so, so excited. I love Twilight, I love my friends, and I love my bed, which is where I'm going now.

<3

Everything has been deleted off of the Wii.

All the channels, the Wii points are gone, all the Mii's, all the saved data, everything.

This makes me feel very sad, because there was so many hours of game play that went into everything. Like SSBB. Claky spent hours helping us unlock everything, and I don't want to ask him to do it again, but I really want Wolf back.

I'm mourning the loss of my Travis at the minute. I'd gotten like, all the clothes, all the beam katana's, the best assassination gigs and most of the trading cards that you have to dig up and I'm gonna have to start all over again which really makes me feel sad. I's never even considered the Lovikov balls up until now! I'm heartbroken. I want my Travis back.

I'm quite happy that my character on Animal Crossing no longer has a head shaped like a melon though.

I have my first exam of the school year today, and I'm dreading it. Really, really dreading it.

And it couldn't be at 9am. Oh no, it's in my free lesson, at 1:30pm, so I've had to change my driving lesson for a freakin' exam which I don't want. D:

I really am terrible at jumping on the latest bandwagons and getting into the fads until no one cares about it anymore. I think the only one I ever caught was Pokemon, and that was because of my Dad.

Here are some examples:

Tamagotchi: I never got into this until my grandparents bought me this very cute little purple penguin tamagotchi when I was on holiday with them in Skegness. When I got back, they'd been banned from school, and no one used them anymore. I got a panda one at a later date, but I abused it by not spending time feeding it and stuff. I went to school one day and when I got back, it was on holiday. It never came back.

Beyblade: I fucking love Beyblade. But I really, really got into it when everyone else had moved onto something else. But I was lucky, because I used to spend a lot of my time in this village where my dad lived, and everyone who I hung out with missed the fad as well, so we all got into it, made our own teams and had tournoments every weekend. I loved it. Our team always won.

Yu-gi-oh: I never watched the anime until two years after the fad, I bought a load of cards, and badges and a Yami figurine and then went off it. I recently got back into it. Now they're on a completely different series of it because Yu-Gi-Oh and Yu-Gi-Oh GX have finished, and now they're bringing out Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. Which I thought would be terrible - card games on Motorbikes? Really? - but it actually looks really good. But I fail at the actual game.

There were two things that I never really got into though: Dragonball and Digimon.

I refuse to acknowledge Digimon as being something amazing, because I've always fucking hated it. Really, really hated it, and no one will ever change my mind about it.

I watched a Dragonball Z Movie the other day, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but at the same time, it could have been a lot better. And I do love Jeice, he seemed cool with his Australian accent and weird sayings. "Time to put some pain on the barbie!" And I am actually really interested to see how this live action Dragonball movie will turn out.

The point of this is, I went to see Twilight this evening for my boyfriend's 20th birthday, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't really think much of it. I just thought "oh, great, another movie about vampires." But this was so, so good, and now I want to read the books, and everyone's already done that and they're either

a) still really obsessed by it or
b) over it, but still thinks Edward is 'hott' (totally not my words -_-)

So I'm going to read the books, and be one of the last people to jump on that bandwagon.

Oh, and I was really late getting into Heroes as well. I watched that by complete chance, thinking it was a cool slasher movie with cheerleaders in it (Homecoming). I did not understand what was happening at the time. I love it now.

I think that's about all.

I hope you had a good birthday el Wardo <3

I have a diary that I used to update nearly everyday, even if I didn't have much to say. An example being;

23rd April
I'm really ill today. I watched a load of Benloka videos and they didn't make me feel any better.

24th April
I'm still really ill.

25th April
I'm getting better now. I can't wait to go back to sixth form. I like to learn. I'm starting to feel stupid.

And so on.

So I decided that as well as doing the Vlogpals project with Charlie (by the by, he made the most AMAZING background!) I'm going to try and update my blog everyday throughout the whole of 2009 (obviously starting next Monday, when the other project starts). Absolutely nobody will be interested in this, but I like typing a lot more than I like writing and this way, people who know about the blog can see what I've been doing today. Yay :D

Isn't that just peachy?

- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
aha i just went on quizilla.
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
it's been a year since i've written now.
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
well, on quizilla at least
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
"I stared at the clock; it was five minutes past 4. In 2 hours and 55 minutes, Ebbie would come rocketing over armed with popcorn, Pringles, some nicotine, extremely rubbish chewing gum that she bought for about 2 cents a packet and a huge bottle of Cola, and we'd sit talking about nothing in particular, listening to music and watching rubbish videos."
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
WHEYY
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
i remember that gum.
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
i didn't like that gum.
- [b]liviiiii[/b] your pretty eyes still give me heart attacks. says:
xD

There are like, three inside jokes in that paragraph alone.

I lovelovelove Livi and I miss talking to her everyday, but I still consider her to be my best female friend. <3

I need to clean up my entire room today, because I've had this ill thing going on since I've had my floor re-done. I'm still feeling utterly terrible today, but I start back at school tomorrow and I really need to get my room done and organised before I start back. I always leave stuff until the last minute. Failfailfail.

In other news, it's only like, eight days until mine and Charlie's collab channel starts up. I'm excited about it. I'm thinking I'll end up forgetting to do my video on one of my days and then get like, the worst punishment ever xD

I don't want to clean. Please don't make me clean up D:

In other news, I found my tape of The Beatles which my grandad made for me when I was a little girl. He hand wrote the playlist for me, and spelt it "BEETLES" which makes me smile. In fact, I've found a bunch of stuff that I forgot about. Funnily enough, the one thing I need - being my green tape - is no where to be found.

I feel so mainstream for actually liking that shop, you know? But I went to the sales today and oh my god. I got this amazing coat and this beautiful pink and dark purple zebra print skirt (which I am wearing to my birthday meal for sure!)



As a side note, I'm listening to a Dan Green interview right now and I'm laughing so hard.

"I was just wondering what your take on the relationship between Yugi and Yami was. Do you think there's sort of something a bit more than friendship there or...?"

Dan Green: Well, we always joke that it's a little sexual because that's sort of the easy joke to make. You know, it's like, he has his grandfathers "deck" and Yu-gi-oh's inside him, but the more meaningful relationship obviously is - we don't have parents for Yugi, we have the grandfather figure, you know? So I've always thought that their relationship is more of a father/son sort of thing. [there's more about how meaningful their relationship is here] So you know, I think there's a more meaningful aspect to their relationship, but it's obviously much more fun to joke that they're gay.
