Umm.... So she's skinny now...

I know weird right?! I mean she was never really in the media a lot so this was such a SHOCK.
Oops, forgot to tell you who I talking about... again.
So I am talking about Ricki-Lee Coulter you know that singer? I think she's Australian?
So last time I saw her was on ROVE which was QUITE a while ago considering ROVE was cancelled like in 2009. And all of sudden she appears on MTV in her music video for that song that I kinda like that is kinda stuck in my head called Raining Diamonds (I still yet to have found the meaning of the song).
And I'm like 'who's this by? Ri- Ricki-Lee? WOW SHE'S SKINNY NOW... Jeaaallooouuusss...'

Typical Media article about her diet and stuff.

Update: Was it Crabbe?

So you know how like AAAGGGEEESSS ago I thought maybe that guy who was stabbed outside a club was the guy who played Crabbe but it turned out it wasn't, so I thought I got the news story all wrong?
Well turned out I wasn't wrong about the news story or the fact that it was someone from the Harry Potter cast. The guy who played Crabbe is still alive, selling weed, rapping and getting arrested for participating in the London riots :B (BTW :B is bucktoothed smiley face). The guy who WAS killed was defending his brother or something and was stabbed and he was meant to be playing Marcus Belby, but apparently had JUST finished filming as the role of Marcus Belby on the sixth Harry Potter film (I forgot what character Marcus Belby was, maybe he was in the Slug Club IDK).

Magical place.
So, I'm pretty sure I've sent this out before, but here it is again because it was quite a while ago.
Before I give you the link there are a few things I'd like to clarify; I do not post/reblog pictures of people flipping the bird, in skimpy outfits, drinking or smoking. I do not post pictures of MYSELF and if I do it isn't of my face and if it is of my face you wouldn't be able to recognise me because it'll only be parts of my face, eg eyes (it sounds like  the equivalent of 'I am not a psychopath that rips peoples bodies apart, take pictures of them and then post them on tumblr').

The Secret Garden

So, when I was a kid, my faveourite movie was The Secret Garden. And I don't know why I loved it but I just did. And I watched it today (on VHS, don't judge) for old times sake (not the VHS part, just the fact that I watched it for old times sake, we only own it on VHS) But did you know I always wanted to move houses when I was a kid? No, I bet you didn't.
But the reason that I always wanted to move house was because I wanted to go exploring, even though the type of house we would get, there wouldn't be much exploring to do, because I would've finished it in like five minutes.
So I realised, if I were to move house it will have to be HUGE and have HEAPS of secret passageways and underground tunnels.
And I thought, oh won't it be sweet if I married a (brown haired) man that built me a house like that?
But then I realised, it will be fun; but not as fasinating. No people will have lived in the house before me, there was no history behind it up until now.
It's also like Coraline in someways.
But if you really wanted me to go HARDCORE on this dream of mine, I'll have a large garden to explore as well thanks.
And I have been to Hearst Castle (that's in California), Larnach Castle (that's in Dunedin), Tower of London (that's in London) and Windsor Castle (that's in Windsor). But they usually don't (pratically always) let you into the passageways and underground tunnels (mainly for security reasons (or something along those lines)).
So basically what I'm saying is, if I marry a brown haired man, and he wants to see the expression of pure amazement and wonder on my face then he should defiantly live in/buy me a giant house with secret passageways, underground tunnels, lots of history and stories behind it with lots of rooms he is more than welcome.

Hearst Castle; Birds Eye View

Hearst Castle; Neptune's Pool

Hearst Castle; The Indoor Pool

Lanarch Castle

Windsor Castle

Tower of London

Tower of London; Apparently the most Haunted place in ALL of Tower of London, of course much like the passageways and underground tunnels they don't let you in there. Hmph. >:(

Tower of London; The Beef Eaters (?)

Tower of London; on of the many stairs to one of the many towers in the Tower of London (they really need to work on that tower plural thing, I mean come on?)

Tower of London, The legend says when the Ravens leave the Tower of London the Palace will fall and the Royal family will fall with it. That must be the reason for the cages for the Ravens.

So The Secret Garden has led me back to my childhood and made me realise my REAL dream home.

My dog is so ugly she barks at her own reflection.

Okay, so my dog isn't ugly (well at least I don't think so). But we have an oven (we only own one oven) that is like refective. And you have to get really close up to see what's inside, and this oven isn't built into the kitchen cabnets, it's just ground level (if you really gave a damn, it is actually a stove/oven and it's a GAS oven). Nellie started doing this like, what? yesterday? So I have no idea what suddenly provoked this. And in between barking sessions she would chase her tail (sometimes she goes SUPER fast, which is kinda funny) which apparently is due to stress. And she would occasionally sniff the oven which will result in no conclusion for Nellie and she will continue to bark, so maybe her reflection for my dog is the equalivant of spawn of the devil/vampires/mutants for humans.
Or my dog doesn't really like her appearance.

My sweet, but dumb dog; Nellie

So... I'm a psychic now... yeah...

Yeah, I bet you didn't see that one coming.
So, no I'm not really a psychic, but there has always been one thing I have been sure of.
I am going to marry/spend the rest of a my life with a person with a man with brown hair.
Like, it has always been certain to me that I will marry/spend the rest of my life with a person with brown hair. Since the age of like six. I don't if it's just because of all those disney princes with brown hair (Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast(ish), The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty etc, etc.)
And then there is Ken who most of the time has brown hair. So, I don't know if it was disney and Barbie making it sure I wanted a brown haired man or I just decided myself. But that doesn't mean rule out all other hair colours. I would still date a blonde or a ginger (for those who go "WHA?", I say to that HAVE YOU NOT SEEN RUPERT GRINT???)
And some of you might go, ALICE?  WHAT ABOUT TE BLACK HAIRS?
Don't worry, I count Black hairs as brunettes. And don't you be saying, BUT MY HAIR NO BROWN! IT BLACK! LOOOOKKK! no, see, if you look really closely, you can see it is a really dark shade of brown. Unless you dyed it, in which case I am not going to marry a man who DYES his hair black. I mean, come on? Seriously?

Umm... so my brother had a allergic reaction....

My brother's face is swollen up because of an allergic reaction he had from something in the woods (my mum thinks he might've touched a plant and then rubbed his face).
And it's frikin HILARIOUS.
So, my brother went to the After Hours (it wasn't really the after hours at the time, but After Hours deals with those sort of things). And they gave him some stuff and ran a few tests.
So now he is at home, the swelling went down A BIT, but he's still swollen, and I'm probably just making him all the more misreable because I keep checking his face to see if he is back to normal again (which so far he isn't). I read him a chapter of The Hunger Games yesterday.
I wish I could show a picture, but it will probably just make him even MORE misreable.
I'll google one that is similar.

This is the most similar LEAST disgusting one I could find. BTW I went through A LOT of gross images to find an example of my brother!

Ummm.... why you shouldn't try to stalkerishly try to organise a meet up for during the holidays when they are emotional and hugging other people who are emotional....

So here's what happened:

It was the last day of school, this girl (lets call her Sam) who is kinda a stalker kept following me trying to organise some sort of meet up in the holidays and I was hugging someone who was LEAVING my school FOREVER and she just kept talking awkwardly and then me and the other person stopped hugging and I went to hug another girl (lets call her Claire) who was crying her eyes out (Claire was also leaving school FOREVER) and she made me cry so hard and Sam just kept TALKING like it wasn't an emotional moment for Claire and I (Claire and I were like real close in the first term). And I was crying long after that, she did not get the drift!

She just kept following me and kept yapping in my ear while I was hugging and crying with someone else.

Sam is a nice person, but she's clingy and is SUCH a chatter box and it pisses me off SO much.

She does not understand boundries! So guys, it's better to have LOTS of distant friends that think your pretty cool and laid back and don't hog the conversation than to have like two friends that think you're really annoyingly clingy that hogs a ridiculous amount of the conversation.

Sam would interupt me when I was reading, no.  Sam would interupt me when I was listening to my music, no. Sam would interupt me when I was reading AND listening to music, BIG NO NOS. These are my zones, don't interupt me when I'm in my zones. Don't try to tell me a 'you had to be there' funny story when I'm dancing with my other friends, my zone. Do not interupt me when I am talking. Do not interupt me while I'm listening to someone else talk to me. Do not interupt me when I am hugging someone!

Simple rules to not pissing me off!

Why You Should Attend School as Much as You Can!

I may not sound like the most enthusastic about school, friends or people in general but I was quite upset when the year ended! I mean FOUR people are leaving my class for another school (one leaving for a whole other city!) and not to mention two have already left our class this year! I wish had more time with these people, I mean some of them may have seemed stuck up or dumb but in the end these are people who have agreed to run with me when doing cross country (I'm not a good/fast runner). They weren't bothered when I sat next to them when they were spilling their heart out to another class mate because they knew I won't run telling anyone and they accepted the advice when I felt they needed it and I didn't beg for the name of the person that made them cry and they didn't tell and I was perfectly fine with that. We refused to focus in maths together, we focused in maths together.
And I hugged and cried with people I never thought I would or would have to hug and cry with. Both of my science teachers left (okay, so one left in term two and didn't say goodbye and rumoured reason he left was because he was watching porn at school) and the other one left at the END of the year. I can't STAND this instablity! It's not good for my health. My cousin also got Enviromental Prefect and a girl I knew through cheerleading got Cultural Prefect. People laughed at how stupid I was for crying when I wasn't the one leaving yet (I'm only fourteen and was in Year Nine).
I will never do music again nor art. I won't have that form teacher again.
If you don't attend the last day or any other day you will miss out on the memories like that dumb joke she told, or when your teacher heard your best friend swear in front of him for the first time or that time with chinese whispers and the end result was really dirty.
You will miss that day that could've changed your perspective of a person. You could miss an important lesson on something that could help you on your exam.
And to tell you with all honesty the only time I dreaded class was when I had to hand something in was when I wish I could've had more time to work on it.
Or when I just wanted to catch up on some sleep.

I'm the Zebra, cause I'm loud :)

My school as not been a prison, anything but that.

NEW ZEALAND CHRISTMAS

So, when I was kid I used to kind of always forget that New Zealand Christmas was in the summer, so we wouldn't get any snow and besides since Wellington is beside the sea we get HARDLY any snow. So I used to always get kind of disapointed. But now, it's pretty good, you can indulge in your christmas gifts in the hot sun. And some New Zealanders get asked the dumbest questions like 'So do you celebrate in July instead?'
What the fuck? NO.
So when it came to changing the backround I wondered about what it should be, White Christmas or Pohutukawa Christmas? Pohutukawa. YEAH BOI.

Dude! I'm not your timetable! I am a PERSON!!

Some REGULARS from my class have been messaging me on Facebook, asking 'What do have tomorrow?' Ummm.... Get a new timetable! It's probably because I am one of the most reliant people in my class, that you can trust that I WON'T lose my class timetable. I am human too! I always find running to my bag to get my timetable so I can tell you what we have the next. And these people who ask for help with timetables are people that BARELY talk to me. Stop being so dependent on me... One day my dog might chew up my timetable, someone else in my household might mistake it for a piece of scrap paper, you never know... Get be reliant on yourself for a change.

Well I healed surprisingly quick...

So, I don't feel that bad about finishing The Hunger Games anymore. Harry Potter took a lot longer to get used to the idea of it being over. But for The Hunger Games there are still three movies to be made. And they will come. Now I'm reading Jane Eyre, not one of the easiest books to get into. I really want to get started on The Maze Runner, but unfortunetly you can't buy it on Kindle, you can buy it on Amazon, just not on Amazon Kindle. Dumb Bums.
But it only took a good Marathon of MTV's AWKWARD. to heal me.

Apparently The Maze Runner is a bit like The Hunger Games except they have no recolection of their lives before the maze. The third book is already out and I feel so behind on the times and I hate that feeling, because I'm always one of the unlucky ones to get it. And I can't just take a simple trip down to the Library because the Library is closed on Sundays. Thank goodness for that, because I just realised I could look up (on the Library website) whether the Library even HAS The Maze Runner, wouldn't THAT have been a waste of my time!?

Sometimes I wish I could forget it all together and do it again.

And I'm not talking about regrets. The only thing I regret is not starting The Hunger Games sooner.
I wish I could read it again, which I could, but it wouldn't be the same. I would know what's happening next.
I just want to forget it all together to start the adventure all over again, the same with Harry Potter.
Personally my favourite in the series is the first book. I expected Catching Fire to be the main character (Katniss) and Peeta to be the mentors for the new tributes, and then Mockingjay to be them going back into the arena or something like that. I was wrong.
My favourite character is Prim, but I didn't realise it until the last book, when um... she... *sobs*. Okay, so I'm not entirely giving it away, but those who have read the book probably know what I'm talking about. And I made it fairly obvious, so some others might know what I mean as well.
So I thought after I finished The Hunger Games, I would read Jane Eyre since I've seen the movie.
But right now I feel like a should heal before I start reading another book. Hopefully when The Hunger Games movie comes out it is awesome and I have a tad bit of closure.

But also one thing that is really bothering me is when people go off about the 'Cast'. Like who is playing who. And I HATE that, it takes away the idea of the character being relatible. Being a real person rather that made up people, but with all this thing about the 'cast' ruins it. That's why I don't watch behind the scenes on DVD anymore. It ruins the character. The story. Think about that before you come up to me asking me about what I think of the cast and who should've played that character instead.
And I also hate it when people criticise the book/movie and how it should've been instead. NO. They worked so hard on that and you go off about how it should've been different. This especially happened with Harry Potter, but JK Rowling has had SO much say in the making of the movies, I'm pretty sure she might've been a part of or at least agreed to those changes.

Pretty awesome sign graffiti!

So these are two signs I have been lucky enough in my lifetime to see and have the ability to snap a picture of. All in one week!!

New Direction... Oops no, One Direction. GETS ME EVERY TIME!

So I didn't really know what this whole One Direction thing is about, so today in Social Studies, I was bored and decided to look them up on Youtube (I have finished my work) and I looked up a song that I had assumed was sung by them (What Makes You Beautiful).
And I also found the members names are.... Louis, Niall, Harry, Zayn and Liam.
Which is weird because I am related to TWO people named Harry (will one is just nicknamed Harry but still). And I am also related to a person called Niall, spelt exactly the same. And Niall is an uncommon name to come by. I can't exactly say I'm a fan yet, since I've only listened to two songs by them and one of them I don't really like (the song I DO kind of like has already been mentioned in this post, I forgot the name of the song I didn't like). At first I thought Niall was the best looking (which was weird for me, considering I am related to a Niall), but then I looked up Louis and thought he was wwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hotter, just saying. No offence Nialls'.

PS I had my birthday on the 19th (nearly a whole week ago).
I think I might post what I got after this post. And I feel weird having my blog birthday themed when all the birthdays have finished for this month, and it isn't just quite christmas time yet. But it feels like such a short space of time to go back to the usual theme.

Yes, I'm am clumsy. No, I think I can handle this one.

So on Saturday, I was helping out at a wedding party. No one got married, because the people who it was for, their marriage was in like South East Asia on a beach.
And I was helping with the dishes. And it was our (our being = me and some other people I know) job to help with dishes. And some lady kept coming in and doing it herself. And I was the hired help. But if I walked off she'll be all "ALICE!! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" (okay, maybe not that loud.)
And I'll be all "Well you're doing all the work, what am I supposed to do?" (I'd mumble that).
And then she will go "Well come here then." But it didn't go that way, I just waited until she gave someone a dish ready to be dried and I stole her spot. And then I moved onto drying the plates and then the cutlery. And since the cutlery was smaller it was like, easy to slip out of the tea towel that I was using to dry them.
I think things slipped out at least two times, maximum three. Next we moved onto drying the serving plates. And I was drying a kind of heavy, china, bowlish-plate thing. And we needed a place to put the clean, dry serving plates. So my workmate was clearing up the space, and I was still cleaning the heavy plate-ish - bowl thing, not because it was still wet, but there was nowhere to put it. And my (other) workmate took it off me and said "Mum will be so mad if this broke." Are you implying that I will break this plate? Yes, I know, I'm clumsy. But I not going to go breaking your mothers plate. I think I am more careful than that.
And we all (well most of us) got into an argument about a babysitting job I was going to do. And even though one of my (other (so far unmentioned)) workmates seemed to be arguing against me, I was actually on her side. The workmate who took the big heavy bowl-plate off me was kind of standing up for me, but not really (kind of more for herself). And then the unmentioned workmate and I cleared up about things we said that might've heard differently, sounded how it wasn't meant to (since we were kind of versing each other, but also kind of on the same side). But my unmentioned workmate spent most of the rest of that session mad at bowl-plate stealer.

I might as well go die in a hole now.

I missed 11/11/11 11:11. Both times. Yes, I was awake on the day. But I missed the 11:11 parts.
First time I just didn't happen to be near a clock at that time. Second time I set an alarm, but I fell asleep. And the alarm didn't wake me up. So I woke up this morning with my lamp still on, my laundry down inbetween the wall and my bed and I for some reason had a painful buttcheek and neck.
I honestly did not know how that happened.

WHY DO NINE DAYS SEEM SO FAR AWAY? It's because it is far away, that's why.

My birthday is in NINE DAYS motherf*ck*r &%^$#@

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Just wanna say Happy Birthday, to my mum, again.
Here's what mum got:

Two Scarves, three books, a lamp, a Coronation Street Calender (for 2012 of course) and a red wallet from Strandbags which was on sale which I forgot the price of.

Theming my Blog!

So, I just went from Halloween themed blog to Birthday themed, because my Mum's birthday is tomorrow (2nd of November) and then it is my birthday on the 19th of November (Mother-Daughter Scorpio buddies!!). And then it's leaving school time (how about a High School Musical 2 theme then?(NZ's christmas holidays are also the summer holidays)) theme? Then Christmas, then New Years. And then starting school time. A lot of themes to go through. Phew!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!
P.S. Sorry the colours in the theme don't quite match, but oh well, celebration has no colour :)

How to be Polite on Halloween

It really bothers me on Halloween when bratty children are ungrateful on Halloween. And I hate it because I remember how bratty I used to be.
Tips:
Tip 1) Say 'thank you' after every visit, even if they didn't give you candy.
Tip 2) Don't ask for a different candy than the ones they gave you, at least they HAD candy, plus you can swap with your friends afterwards.
Tip 3) Don't act all grateful at the door then leave and loudly exclaim how cheap or lame the lollies you got are, that's just sad and you don't know what money is like for them.
Tip 4) Bragging loudly to your friends after a big load of cookies is a big no-no, they probably didn't have candy, but felt bad for you so they gave you their cookie supply for this week.
Tip 5) Ignore the ones that don't support the celebration of Halloween, they just are doing what they do, respect that.
Tip 6) THIS ONE IS FOR THE ADULTS
If you don't celebrate Halloween, respect their celebrations, be nice about it and if you want to reccomend them to Jesus in the Park or Carols by Candle light, do so kindly. Those kids are way more likely to have some respect for you.
Tip 7) THIS ONE IS FOR THE ADULTS
Don't be hurt if you can hear kids loudly talking about how lame your lollies are, don't worry they are BRATS AND DON'T DESERVE YOUR LOLLIES.
Tip 8) THIS ONE IS FOR THE ADULTS
Know the populars; try and get grape flavors, strawberry flavors or banana. Mint and Black Liquorice is lowest rated, but keep them in supply some kids LOVE those.

Hope you guys had a great Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Just have a great night guys!!
Be careful!!
And GET LOTS OF LOLLIES

Happy Halloween!!!!

Hey Guys,
do you like the new Halloween theme?!
I have also offically decided Halloween is my favourite occasion of the year!!
Then Christmas. :)

Happy Halloween!!!!

Hey Guys,
for the second year in a row, I can't participate in Halloween (due to Cheerleading practice (it wasn't anyone's fault, don't call anyone mean names just because I have had to attend Cheerleading practice two years in a row on Halloween, but don't worry! I can participate next year because it is on a Wednesday!!)).
But I am determined to still keep the joy. This year I am going ALL out.
My brother and I bought two (dark pink (closest to red)) flower necklace things (you know, the ones that Hawaiian dancers wear (stereotypically)), a (plastic) axe and those things that Grim Reapers carry around (stereotypically). We put the flower Hawaiian Necklaces in these swan things because we thought it would look very cult looking with the candles on mum's window sill. And we could put the Grim Reaper thing somewhere in the garden and the axe up by the door.
And I'll help out with the candies until cheerleading practice.
Here is a few photos of our props:
