Cold is an understatment

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:43:29 GMT

My laptop has not been in much use lately, poor thing :(

I will miss it when I go to New York (the 14th February) YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

On other news I am sitting on the computer in the garden room typing up photography work, with my gloves on and three layers of clothing (thinking about putting on a fourth) because it is so cold out here and it is so cold due to the fact that we have no heating!!!! Only two fires and there's no fire out here therefore I am freezing but determined to get this work done.

It snowed last week and is apparently the coldest winter in 13 years brrrrr and we have no heating! My parents won't get it fixed because 1. It is too expensive and 2. The house is in a mess!.

Happy New Year!

Torin

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:22:56 GMT

A character from a new series I'm writing Friends and Enemies

Torin is both a cursed and gifted one

He is the prophesied cursed son the "black swan" one but a seventh son of a seventh son

Thom Yorke-Black Swan

What will grow crooked, you can't make straight
It's the price that you gotta pay
Do yourself a favour and pack your bags
Buy a ticket and get on the train
Buy a ticket and get on the train

Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
Cause this is fucked up, fucked up

People get crushed like biscuit crumbs
And lay down in the bitumen
You have tried your best to please everyone
But it just isn't happenin
No, it just isn't happenin

And that is fucked up, fucked up
And this is fucked up, fucked up
This your blind spot, blind spot
It should be obvious, but it's not.
But it isn't, but it isn't

You cannot kickstart a dead horse
You just crush yourself and walk away
I don't care what the future holds
'Cause I'm right in your arms today
With your fingers you can touch me

I am your black swan, black swan
But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top
And this is fucked up, fucked up

You are fucked up, fucked up
This is fucked up, fucked up

Be your black swan, black swan
I'm for spare parts, broken up

Iron Maiden-Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Here they stand brothers them all
All the sons divided theyd fall
Here await the birth of a son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one

Here the birth from an unbroken line
Born the healer, the seventh, this time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds

Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son

Then they watch the progress he makes
The good and the evil wich path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers before its too late

Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son

Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the second sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be writtne
So it shall be done

Both can kind of be related to Torin

Germany

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cry freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zombie

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:18:51 GMT

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?

May he see? it's not me,
It's not my family
In your head, in your
head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head
In your head
they are cryin'
In your head
In your head
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie Zombie Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
The violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, In your head
they're still fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, In your head
They are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie

More lyrics :P The Cranberries and Zombies!

Heard it on the music channel yesterday and it has become a new favourite! I just love the lyrics! Call me weird, I just do!

My friend got me in the mood for Charmed so I'm gonna go and watch that now

Byeeeeeeeeee!!

I need a miracle ♪♫

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 14:12:38 GMT

♪♫

Hey, hey
Miracle, miracle

If you're gonna save the day
And you're hearin' what I say
I feel your touch, your kiss
Is not enough

And if you believe in me
Don't think my love's for free
I won't take nothin' less
Then a deeper Kiss

Lemme tell you
You know, I need a miracle
I need a miracle
It's more physical
What I need to feel from you

Lemme tell you
You know, I need a miracle
I need a miracle
It's more physical
What I need to get me through

Tell me that you understand
And you'll take me as I am
You'll always be the one
To give me everything

Just when I though no one cared
You're the answer to my prayers
You life my spirits high
Come on and rescue me

Lemme tell you
You know, I need a miracle
I need a miracle
It's more physical
What I need to feel from you

I love that song at the moment!

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:47:18 GMT

Today I got a wii!! YAY!!!

And then I broke one of our lights...it was glass too...it went SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!

Its my brothers birthday tomorrow , he's gonna be 13! My parents are so thrilled to have another teenager in the house :D

I flew off my bike the other day and hit the road *laughs* It really hurt I damaged my right hand the same elbow and my left knee! I got huge bruises and may have a permant scar on my hand...I've really had a baaaaaad week.

Nanowrimo...well that failed. I've given up on that. I've been so busy this month its unbelieveable (Yet I still have time to do this?)
I will try next year or maybe the one in January. Regardless of giving up, I'm still going to finish the story I started no matter how long it takes! I'll plan it out properly. This is one of my only longer one off stories, all my others seem to be in a series.

Things That Go Bump in the Night will rise again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beware of the full moon

Stick to the path
Out come the creatures
A spine-chilling laugh

A-ha-ha-ha
A-ha-ha-ha
A-ha-ha-ha

There's a chill in the air (chill in the air)
You hear a creak on the stairs
(Creak on the stairs)
You gotta lock all your doors
(Lock all your doors)
Is there anybody out

There're out to get you
To capture you and make you, spellbound
Howling and prowling
You're shivering, quivering, spellbound

You cannot run
And you cannot hide
Yeah, you gotta face it, baby
Things go bump in the night
Wherever you run
And wherever you hide
Yeah, you gotta face it, baby
Things go bump, bump, bump in the night

Tell me who's spookin' who
(Who's spookin' who)
It's very Scooby Doo (Scooby Doo)
You hear a shriek in the house
(Shriek in the house)
You know it's freaking me out

There're out to get you
To capture you and make you, spellbound
Howling and prowling
You're shivering, quivering, spellbound

You cannot run
And you cannot hide
Yeah, you gotta face it, baby
Things go bump in the night
Wherever you run
And wherever you hide
Yeah, you gotta face it, baby
Things go bump, bump, bump in the night

And wherever you hide
Yeah, you gotta face it, baby
Things go bump, bump, bump in the night

[Things that go bump, bump in the night]

I couldn't help it :P

Anyway this is the small synosis for the story:
Alex Ariel's parents call themselves "supernatural slayers" so its no wonder he ended up with these strange powers and a dead boy following him around all day and keeping him awake at night.

And this is the very small extract just to show that it actually exsists:
If only I had gone to get Beth that drink in the first place…

Alexander " Alex" is the main character who is telling the story. Many of my protagonists are girls beacuse well I'm a girl and its just easier but I thought I'd try something different and thus Alex came into existance! Alex is actually one of my favourite ocs I don't know why I just like him :)

Edit: Alex no longer tells the story, only the prologue.

This has gotta be my longest post ever!

Gotta go coz its getting late and I gotta get up early tomorrow!

Byeeeeeee!

Things That Go Bump in the Night

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:25:03 GMT

So all the way back I decided to sign up for NaNoWriMo like many writers. My story is called Things That Go Bump in the Night, I got the idea from the song with the same name. Anyway the problem is I stared late and I' already stuck. I also have a habit of having to write down the first draft and then typing it up which would take longer to get it finished. Pfft I hope I can get rid of my writers block...

Holiday!

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:53:37 GMT

Going on holiday tomorrow for two weeks in Scaborough! YAY! Only problem is we have to get up about 4-5 in the morning and I'm stuck in the car with my weird family for 6 hours!

The cheese that is nail varnish

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:32:12 GMT

Blue nail varnish really stinks! Kind of reminds me of a weird cheese smell
Urrkkkkk
But I won't wash it off coz it looks preeeeettttttyyyyyyy
Its a really nice blue colour it just has a weird smell!
Either that or my nose is totally been mucked up after the cold I had a few days ago!

Un-made up names

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:40:16 GMT

One of the characters for a long story of mine that I'm working on is called Arda, a name that I made up about 4 years ago. I found out a few days ago that it is a real name!

The boy's and girl's name Arda \a-rda, ar-da\ is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "bronze".

I never knew that before and now I've just found out his twin brother Anda another name I made up along time ago (or so I thought) is also real but its a girls name! Haa!

The girl's name Anda \a-nda, an-da\ is a variant of Alexandra, Ananda and Fernanda.

Anywho I refuse to change it so he's stuck with it poor guy!

For other news I am having a big big writer block, especially on my two smaller stories on FP they suck anyway but I want to finish them anyway :P.

Fly Eatin'-They're Gross

Wed, 28 May 2008 15:23:07 GMT

Good Afternoon

Long time no see!

Been doing the same old stuff.

Though a couple of weeks ago I accidentally ate a fly! I was running along to a friends house, minding my own business when along comes a fly and flies down my throat having me choking all the way to my friends doorstep then to go in and have everyone laughing at me! Well I found it funny too and so did my mum! Its a unique experience but I don't recommend it!

I'm currently in the middle of doing GCSEs and don't have much time to do much else. My parents want me to revise revise revise! O f course when I can (When they're out or not looking) I go about doing my own stuff.

I'm reading Death's Shadow by Darren Shan at the moment! Me and my friend went running around Chatham to find it! I love it <3!

Two of my main stories I'm working on are doing pretty well, One has a prologue and two and a half chapters while the other has one and a half chapters, which is pretty good actually! I rarely get this into a story!

My bratty brother is really annoying me at the moment! ARRRGHHHH!!!! He is such a brat and I don't feel particularly well at the moment.

Hehe.

Not much else to say really. TTFN.

2) Mustangs, hotdogs and Alvin and the Chipmunks

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:35:47 GMT

Today's been pretty hectic. I got up about 11'o clock which is quite early for me in the holidays :P

My brother decided his stomach was going to play up today so i had to play nurse maid when my parents went out and I had to obey his every whim. I was seriously considering putting him out of his misery! But I managed to restrain myself and now he's back to his happy (annoying) self. But because I had to look after him I was unable to (once again) go and renew my library books which means the late fee is going to be huge.

On a higher note I finished cutting out images from magazines for my art , now all I have to do is stick them all on to a huge A1 piece of paper. That should be fun.

It was freezing earlier did anyone else find that? I was sitting in doors with the hood up on my jacket plus I was wearing my scarf and favourite pair of gloves, until my mum had the decency to put on the fire. I'm still trying to persuade them to fix the heating! Well I'm warm now and thats the main thing.

I managed to make myself tea today and without burning the house down. It was two hot dogs all I had to do was put them in for 40 seconds, they nearly went in for 40 minutes! It was only when I realised that something was wrong and managed to save them from majorly over cooking and got them out of the microwave unharmed albeit a little over cooked! Its not the first time I've done that before. I am a hopeless cook and even seem to burn toast!

My parents went to out with my brother when he had recovered (which is why I had to make my own tea) and my dad brought me home a present! A little hotwheels mustang car! I absolutely love mustangs and was very pleased with my little gift!

I did work on one of my sort stories today The Great Guardian but only did about a paragraph of chapter 3 but I will probably do a bit later when I can be bothered. I should also do some art as well...

Well I'm going to watch Alvin and the Chipminks now, it looks adorable and is apparently really good and funny!

I had more to say then I thought. Ahh well

This is Laura and baby mustang over and out!

1) Hola!

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:40:01 GMT

Hola! So this is my first entry

Hiya! Today I decided I'd make a LiveJournal thingy, to help with writing and also to keep all my special memories in just in case I receive a bump on the head and forget everything which with the friends I have, is bound to happen sooner or later (Sooner more then later!). Oh and also 'cause I'm bored :P Also I doubt anybody else is gonna read this thing anywho 'cause nothing exciting ever happens in my life anyway and I'll probably lose interest in this and forget it ever existed like so many other things.

Yesterday I woke up with a horrible cold though I have no idea how I got it but I easily get colds. The only thing that has irritated me (other then being all sniffley and chokey) is that I hadn't had a cold for at least a month which for me is a world record! I don't understand how i caught it anyway. I haven't been near anyone with a cold and have been inside most of the holidays where it is nice and warm *Shrug* Never mind it'll go in a week or so.

I went to Herne Bay with my family yesterday. Walked around, had lunch, walked around, sat down threw rocks into then sea, sat down, walked around, had an ice cream etc quite fun and very relaxing. Even with a cold. Just thought I'd let you know.

I really should be doing something productive and even have a list that I wrote for myself yesterday of things that I should do today.

To do list for the 16th April

1) Go to library and renew already incredibly late books
2) Start mounting art work on black sheet
3) Cut out magazine clippings for art
4) Read at least one more chapter of Roll of Thunder for English
5) Seek out the long lost Romeo and Juliet
6) Seek out the also long lost Best Words
7) Write Chapter 3 of The Great Guardian for FP
8) Try and finish other book so that it can be returned to the library
9) Phone friend to say thank you for inviting me round
10) Have a descent nights sleep

And so what am I doing? Ignoring the whole list and writing in a newly created livejournal. I really am a prat. :P

I think my stomach needs to be fed. Its hungry and so am I.

~Laura~
