Holiday!

I'm helping at a brownie pack holiday for the next 3 days so annoyingly I won't be able to blog a lot if at all :(
It turns out that the bus to college isn't running this year so I have to go by train >.< it's good but really annoying because I start next Wednesday! Theyve left it a bit late! >.< but I get to sleep in for another hour than I would have if I gone by bus ^.^
But yeah, I'll blog when I can and if there's anything interesting to talk about over the next 3 days :D

Sweeeeeets! :D

I got to see my boyfriend for the first time in over two weeks today!!!!! Im so happy right now :') we went to a town where they have an American sweet shop, so naturally, I bought tonnes of stuff!
There were pick n mix American style with awesome mini versions of some of my favourite American sweets! I got a tub filled to the brim with nerds, sweetarts, pixystixs, sour patch kids, jolly ranchers, candy corn, laffy taffy, everlasting gobstoppers and some things that resemble fizzers! I got a lot in my tub so I'm happy :D and everything is delicious! I will be making frequent trips to that shop I think! :3 I also got some grape fanta which is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE. and I got pez sweets!!! I haven't seen them for years! :3 I got a Perry the Platypus (from Phineas and Ferb - yes, i know, i'm a kid at heart ;D) dispenser, it's so awesome!!!!!!!! :D
I have a slight obsession with American sweets if you hadn't already guessed ;D so I'm pretty happy I've found somewhere pretty close that I can buy them relatively cheaply at!! :)
I also bought a pretty grey tshirt dress from Jack Wills today, it was £17 down from £44 so it's pretty awesome! It's going to be lovely for college in September!! :) so yeah, today has been pretty much perfect :') I'm so lucky to have my boy, I might not say it enough, but I do love him tbh :'3 he's pretty much all I look for in a guy and yeah :3 he makes me happy :) I'll stop gushing now x3

TWITTER!

So, I've been talking to some lovely people on twitter today :') it's quite nice, you start talking to people and then you find out they live vaguely close to you, it's such an exciting feeling! You actually have the possibility of hanging out with someone from twitter which is pretty damn awesome! :) so yeah, if anyone from twitter is reading this, hi! And please talk to me! I swear I won't bite! :) and if I've been talking to you today, also hi and you're super awesome! :'D hehe :3 I like meeting new people :)

College in a week! :S

I had my 6th form college enrolment today! I start 6th form college in a week! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time!
I'm the only person going there from my old school as most people are staying on at their 6th form but the courses weren't right for me there :) the place I am going now is huge though! It has 2000 students over the 2 years which is amazingly huge compared to my secondary which had 1000 over 5 years! :S
The tutor is really nice though, I met her at some of the information evenings and she's crazy which is always good for me ;D it's a lovely college but I'm so scared about not being with my friends :( hopefully I'll make new ones and keep the old ones at the same time! :) but yeah, it's gonna be a big change, but you'll never get anywhere if you always stay in your comfort zone, you have to push the boat out from time to time, and this is me pushing the boat out just a little bit more :) hopefully it'll be the right decision and it'll lead me down a good path for my future :)

RIP Computer :'(

So, today my computer has decided that it's going to pretty much completely pack it in after over 6 years of constant use :( I'm actually really upset about it :/
I know what you're thinking; so what? It's a computer! You can just buy a new one!
Well, this one is special to me as I got it as a present/bribe from my parents when I first turned diabetic. They said I could have my own computer if I did my injections all by myself. Bearing in mind that I was 10 and had a severe phobia of needles, plus the fact that I had just been in hospital for 3 days being poked and prodded by needles quite frequently, this was a pretty big accomplishment to achieve for me. But the point is that it's not necessarily the computer that I'm upset about, it's what it represents, it's like a bit of my childhood is going along with it if we throw it away. I just want to keep it as a reminder and as a piece of my history. I don't particularly care if it works or not, I just don't want to throw it away so it's gone :(

Ahh! :D so yeah, I'm super happy and excited and just oh my Rowling I want to go so bad .___. :D

Blah de blah de blah

Y'know you get it where you're tired but you can't get to sleep? Yeah, having that now :( but I keep playing cut the rope which is distracting me! It's so addictive!! Gah! Silly iPhone games being awesome but annoying at the same time >.<
In other news, I got my stationary for college/6th form today...it makes it feel so close! I'm so nervous for next year :S I don't want to start A levels and leave all of my friends behind at my old school but I have to if I want to do ancient history and classic civilisations >.< I'm also worrying/stressing out about not being able to finish all of the prep work they've set me for each subject in time :/ GAH! I hate pressure! :( and it's results day on Thursday, I'm so sure I've failed at least one subject :( Simon comes back from holiday on Tuesday though which is good :) I can't wait to talk to him again! :3 but yeah, I'm trying to stay happy and smiley like usual! :)

Like a true Brit!

Going home today, we decided because its raining that we'll go home today :) before we left, I went to get more lemon meringue ice cream despite the rain ;D only a British person would eat ice cream when it was tipping it down with rain :P
Here's a better picture of the ice cream, you can even see the little pieces of meringue! :3

Rain rain go away!

Second to last day of my holiday in Cornwall and it is utterly miserable weather! It's been raining since about 12 this morning on and off >.<
On another note, lots of my friends have got their A/AS level results today, they've all done really well, I'm so happy for them!! :D just have to wait for my GCSE results on thursday now :S crossed fingers I get the grades I want! :)

We all scream for Ice Cream!

First of all, sorry for not posting the last couple of days, not a lot of stuff going on in the world of Jess that's bloggable :( sad times!
Moving on, Cornwall is known for it's ice cream but I never knew it had such odd flavours! I went to a place in Padstow with the most amazingly yummy and weird flavoured ice creams! They have the usual boring ones like vanilla and chocolate but they also had flavours like bubblegum (bright blue, may I add!), Turkish delight, and my personal favourite, lemon meringue :D it's so yummy, it actually has pieces of meringue in it! I'm going to be sad when I leave Cornwall on Saturday as there isn't anywhere to get ice cream like that at home! :(
P.s. sorry about the crappy picture, it was too good to resist eating most of it before I'd taken a picture of it! :P

A coat? In the summer?!

I went to a really awesome shop in Bude today that sells all sorts of awesome things from teapots to sweets to candles to shoes, bags and clothes! Mum found this GORGEOUS coat and I tried it on an it fit perfectly! I know some of you will think it's strange but I love it! Mainly because it's theme is peacocks and I love them and their colours, so a coat encorporating that is bound to be awesome in my eyes! :3 the pictures don't do it justice, it's much nicer in person ^.^

LEAKYCON!

Leakycon is coming to London next year! I can hardly contain my excitement at the thought of being close to the Harry Potter cast and other awesome people :D I just hope I can afford it :S but hopefully I can convince mum to get me a full pass for all 3/4 days for either Christmas or my birthday :D I've decided I also need to go to Warner Brothers studio tours again to get a wand and hufflepuff scarf :D gah! I'm so excited!!!! CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!!!! :D

Let the week begin!

Arrived in Cornwall...this house is amazing! In the middle of nowhere, down crazily windy, thin, steep tracks and we arrive at a beautiful wooden house :) it's in the middle of the valley so it looks over the trees, hence the name rooftops ;D
Below are pictures of the view from the balcony off the living room, the garden and the house itself :)

Are we there yet?

So, I'm now half way to my holiday destination in Cornwall, 119 miles left! We've already passed Stonehenge, it's so amazing! Annoyingly, I didn't get a picture of it because we went past too fast .___. But! I got a couple of Coca-cola Olympic glasses with wristbands from McDonalds :D they're pretty cool!
My dog is so loud D: he barks at every motorbike that goes past our car and as he's behind me, I keep getting deafened >.<

MORE MUGS.

Okay, you you know I said that Edward Monkton had other designs apart from animals? Yeah. Just found my favourite one and as soon as I can convince mum I'm going to get it because it's amazing and I reaaaaally want it :D
I'm sorry, but WHAT OTHER MUG TELLS YOU NOT TO EAT YOUR FRIENDS?! :D ajdcchxf it's way too awesome for my brain to compute .____.

MUGS.

I have found a new poet/artist that I LOVE. His name is Edward Monkton and he creates the mugs in the pictures shown here :) they're simple pictures and poems on the mugs, usually using an animal (I prefer these ones, hence all pictures shown being animal mugs) but he does other ones about life, love and other random stuff too! :) If you've never seen his work before then I suggest that you google him NOW and look at more of his work :)

Holiday!

Going on holiday to Cornwall with le family tomorrow! The difference about this year is that my dog is coming with us this year which will be fun! :)
I pack way too many clothes when I go away...I'm going for a week and I swear, I've packed for a month!! Way too much stuff but oh well, means I'll have lots of choice for what to wear each day ;)
I'm pretty excited! I just hope I'm able to find presents for le friends and my boy :3 I'm gonna miss him though >.< that's the one rubbish thing about going away, you can't see your friends/boyfriend for a whole week! D: ah well, I'll live :3

Marvel ice pops and more Ribena!

So...mum came and picked me up and we went to sainsbury's and look what I found!! Peach Ribena squash and....MARVEL ICE POPS! :D I'm so happy right now :') marvel is amazing and now I can have peach Ribena whenever!! :3

Starbucks!

So...I was meant to be getting my photo for my bus pass for my 6th form college next year today and it turns out the passport photo machine is gone where I would have got it done :( so I'm currently at Starbucks for the next half an hour waiting to be picked up...I'll have to admit, there are worse places to be stuck :P so I get to have one of my favourite drinks EVER - peppermint mocha :) even in the middle of summer when the sun is shining it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, like it's Christmas!! My other favourite Starbucks drink is Gingerbread latte, you can tell I like the Christmassy drinks :P but annoyingly they only sell that one at Christmas so if I want that I have to go to manky Costa -.- but I've finished my coffee now so I'm very happy ^.^

OMG, DISNEY SONGS!

I just found 'Now that's what I call Disney' on iTunes and AHHHHHHH I WANT THIS SO BADLY! It's filled with pretty much every Disney song I love and it looks awesome and it's actually pretty cheap seeing as it has 3 CDs of songs on it :D I wish I could actually afford it though, it would make me so happy D:

My sweet addiction...

So, I came across these in Wilkinson's the other day...and they're AMAZING!
The little messages are also pretty cool as they can only be 3/4 letters long :D so you get things like 'Grr' or 'Ha'
Unfortunately, you also get stupid, derogatory words like 'fit' or 'hot' -.- ugh. I can't stand words like that, they're so horrible. Makes it seem like all anyone cares about is what people look like (baring in mind that you have to look a certain way to be accepted as 'fit' or 'hot'), and I find that disgusting! Can't people look how they want and feel happy without having anyone make snide comments any more?! -.- sorry, I'm ranting on a post about sweets!!! But yes, what I wanted to say was that they're amazing and they taste amazing and they're just wow and you should all go out and buy them now because once you've had them you can't live without :D

Peach ribena!

I know, it sounds weird, but IT TASTES SO GOOD. I think I've got a slight addiction to it....
But if you haven't tried it yet, go and buy a bottle! It's an acquired taste but I love it :D

Hey there random stranger!

So...hi! I'm Jess :)
You've probably already gathered that if you've looked at the rest of my profile (I know it's all cruddy looking so far, but I'm working on it, okay?! :P) but it never hurts to introduce yourself and that is precisely what I'm doing!
This is really just to say hi and to show that I'm really not going to bite your face off if you talk to me or anything :)
SO as the great mine turtle of asdf movies would say...hello!











Jess x
