Ask many actors and they're sure to agree, playing the villain in a play, movie, ect. is really good fun. But when it comes to being the bad guy in real life...well that's never fun.
I'm not talking about being a "villain", robbing houses, kidnapping women, and so on.
Just the average situation where you feel like a bad guy...
Telling the kid "no", dumping some one, being the bearer of bad news, and that kinda thing.
Playing the villain is awesome! There's something seductive and fun about playing the "baddie", reassured you can go back to being human and normal afterwards. It's fun to be evil for a short while!
Charlie Hunnam - "It's generally more fun playing the villain"
But in real life, feeling like the bad guy sucks! It's one of the most terrible experiences. But we will all experience it at some point in our lives, and we most definitely will not like it!
But at the end of the day, real life isn't a movie. There's no black and white, no good guys v. bad guys. We're all just a mucky shade o' grey, hoping we're on the right side when there isn't any...

TODAY IS A RANDOM DAY!
And therefore, I am presenting this all to you.
First of DISNEY SONGS! YAY!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXmLRHnoSAs
And now, the thingy I wanted to tell you about!
You may or may not mention that I was writing a story that involved the story of Hades & Persephone but with a new twist.
Well, revising the story, Persephone and Hades' involvement makes it too complicated, and therefore, I must re-write this story and erase Persephone and Hades. However, I will be doing another DIFFERENT story including them! YAY!
Lots of YAYs today.
Today is a YAY kinda day!
^that would make an excellent up-lifting tattoo...
Also, I would like to ask you all to possibly subscribe to mine or my friend's youtube channels... Please! :3

Walking man's best friend
Hi guys,
so today I'm here to tell you about why dogs and walking places are cool.
So picture the scene, a dismal day, so dark that the street lights are on, although it's only 5pm. And then there's me, sat there in a lousy mood, not quite sure why, but miserable none-the-less.
So, as my dog is giddy and rushing about, my mum's friend advises me to take her for a walk.
I set off with my dog, Roxy in tow, and went for a walk.
And here's the relevant bit now.
For you, my friend, I would recommend walks. The walk really lifted my spirits, specially seeing Roxy run around gleefully and the freedom in her eyes, although she was still on a lead and still came running when I called (three or four times, but hey, cut her some slack ;) )
It also benefits your health.
And I'd recommend a dog for those less motivated, as they need looking after and walking and promote responsiblity.
And with a dog, you're not lonely. The good thing about walking is that you could be alone with your thoughts, or think about nothing and just enjoy the experience, but with a pet with you, you know some one with unending love for you is just beside you, and there's a companionable silence. Well, not exactly silence as there was birds singing, (light pollution for ya :( ) and a train went past etc.
Dogs also forced those more socially challenged to interact with others, and make it easier to.
Next to know one doesn't melt at a cute puppy bounding up to you, so long as it's on a lead ;) and the conversation doesn't have to be about anything that may make the person feel awkward, just about the ikkle puppy :3
That's actually given me a really good idea, we should make a charity that re-homes abused animals with people that suffer anxiety disorders to help both pet and person heal. The responsibility of walking the pet forced the person out of their home, even if it's just to walk around the garden several times, which can be a big feat for some of these people. And because alliteration is cool, we shall name it Animal Abuse And Anxiety Association (haha)
I may have fallen in love with that idea, let's see if anything comes of it ;)
Luvs ya guys,
Amy xxx
now, go buy a puppy :P

Chances
Seeing as Mr McCutcheon as been nagging me, HERE I AM!!! You miss me?
Probably not.
Anyway, today, I have decided to talk about chances.
It seems to me that the world wants us to make plans and projects and have everything in a perfect little list.
But that's not the way life works.
Life is built up with loads of different chances.
Chances that lead to changes.
Like the chance that I didn't move up a class, or sit next to my (now) boyfriend, or the chance he never knew I liked him back, or the chance of him never asking me out.
All those chances to have not happened, but did, and that's lead to a change.
This is where the multiverse theory comes in.
For those of you that don't know me, I'm a teensy-tiny (well, A LOT) obsessed with the multiverse theory.
I 'm too lazy to give a full summary.
But basically, it's the idea that they're could be more than one universe. And possibly an alternate universe for each decision we make, or chance that happens.
For example, there's some universe were I didn't sit were I did in Maths, and all the ensuing results.
But life can be planned, and everyone can hope for the best, but in the end, it relies on chances and life is forever changing.
But my advice to you, good citizens of the internet, is that you take a chance, cos you never know where you're gonna end up, or what you're going to change/start and if it turns out to be a mistake, don't give you, keep trying, and take a chance upon a change in your life, also find out more about the multiverse and join my fan club.
Peace out brothers! (lolz)

RIP little angels
I know it doesn't mean much but I want to say my piece on the vile, outragous crime that took place in Connecticut today.
How can anyone because cruel and heart-less as to murder 20 young, innocent children? It disgusts me to my core.
My heart goes out to all the families and friends of those 27 brutally killed. You're all in my prayers and mind. I can not begin to imagine your pain.
That fact families won't even get to enjoy Christmas together anymore due to this has made me deeply appreciative of my family and oppertunities.
All those poor babies are with Jesus now and beyond harm. Rest In Peace

chaos happening on september 4th 2012
So I've just finished reading The Day of The Triffids by John Wyndham. The Chrysalids was my first "proper" scifi book. I got both books from the libary last week. Really good reads. I'm planning on doing some scifi work so I got them for "research". I'm just trying to find out more about the genre before I give it a crack on my own.
In other news, my brother started my high school today. They do what is called a 'staggered start'. So the year 7s have the school to themselves on their first day, then the year 11s will go back tommorow and the rest of us go back on Thursday.
Also, I have just found out it is my Grandad's birthday. It's almost four years since he died and I still really miss him. I feel awful that I didn't know it's his birthday today. He would have been 55. He was a lovely man, like a parent to me. And sometimes, I felt I could trust him more than my actual parents. It didn't matter that I was being bullied at school or had no friends, because he was there for me. (This is in primary school. It really sucked. But I'm happy in High School so not to worry.) There's so much I want to talk to him about. RIP Grandad, I love you.

Worldwide Wonders
Just casually scrolling along facebook; logged into my private account. I decided to check my professional page. It's the one my readers can like. For example when asked about one's prefered authors you can type in any author and like their page; Jaqueline Wilson, Terry Pratchett, Dan Brown, Rachel Caine, Anne Cassidy, John Wyndham, J K Rowling, H P Lovecraft... I could go on forever but back to the point. I found that I have readers all over the world, Russia, Greece, I find it mindbloggling and really cool. It is at this point when that niggly little voice in the back of my head says "They may just be ramdom likers, haven't even heard of your book, don't care about it..." But I'll just tell it to shut up and go back to bed. Cheerful as ever, Amy.

Snippet to bide you over
So I realised I haven't blogged in a while. I have decided to put on a pinch of something I did on writtenkitten. Enjoy...
She'd blown in it. Blown it all. And for what, to prove her point against a stubborn, little man. Now she was ruined. If she could have just kept that sharp tongue of hers in her mouth then, maybe, she would have been okay. But she'd gotten angery, with the way he disbelieved her and twisted her words. It was the last straw when he called her a muderer. She wasn't! No-one believed she was innocent, but she was. And now she'd ruined it all! Yelling at a man who had lured her under a cloak of safety, saying she should talk to him, prove she had nothing to hide, then twisted her words like a dagger into her back. Now, she looked short-tempered and nobody would believe that someone who can lash out like that could possibly be innocent. But she was.

Sob story
Last day of year 8! Kind of depressing really. Going to be in year 9 and feeling the pressure of the next three years already. I can't believe that's it, three years, and all my school life is just gone... FOR GOOD! no second chances or do-overs. I can safely say there's a few I won't miss, but there's loads of people I am.
My form tutor, Miss Lawrie, and my extremly awesome science teacher, Mr Harris, are leaving this year. I'm definately going to miss them.
I have the craziest and funniest of conversations with them both. Miss Lawrie has given CLA alot of support in her time looking after us and all in all, put up with us, which is harder than it sounds.
Mr Harris is the best science teacher. He makes lessons fun and jokes all the time. He's willing to answer our questions after class, and when I stayed behind, to annoy Grace and Catherine, because whenever I do, they complain, FOR THE LAST EVER TIME, sir was still smiling and told us three girls, we were well on the way to A*, the highest GCSE available. I'm also predicted a A* in maths so I'm very happy about that. Very sad they're leaving though.

My booooooooooook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing my proper, back-to-back copy of my book for the first time is the amazing feeling. It's like having a baby but it's less dependent on me. No fear of me having a proper baby at this age though! However, Euan seems hell-bent on torturing me. He shows every one he can get his hands on and my form/English have been on about it ALL day. Us authors (squee) are a shy lot so when they are all of "Omigosh, I know a booky person.", I want the Earth to spilt and let me make my escape. Help! Yay! Stuff! Look out for the sequel. Me and Euan have a joke that we shall be releasing Choosen after the release the film version of Promised, but it'll probably be out before then.
Loves ya,
Amy xxxx

poor word
Poor Word. What does it take for me to write, the internet breaking. My poor little stories are sat there patiently as I spend my time blowing brain cells on Facebook and Youtube. Sigh...
Good side: Need to write
Lazy side: Can't be bothered
Intelligent side: Don't look at me, I just got the highest score in our last THREE maths tests
Evil side: Hmmm, wonder is my cat minions have do what they were supposed to yet
Good side: Kittens are cute!
Evil side: Precisly
ME: To write or not to write? WRITE (duh)
Gargh, guess I'll go do it then. Fine!

13 today!
Happy Birthday to me!
Well, it's not been very happy. My stepdad is in London so I won't be seeing him.
My Aunt has been in labour for three days so I have been worried about her and angry at the hospital for being short staffed and not giving her a room. Anyway, Sophie Louise Howell came into the world at ten past twelve this afternoon. She stole my birthday sigh.
Also, I have had an argument with a right cow during Spanish. And I've nearly got sunburn
Oh well, at least I can sign up to Facebook now lol

As the my lovely publisher and good friend Euan has posted, I have my first book out. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you enjoy. I am trying to figure out the sequence of my new project, it is not the sequel but Promised will have a sequel eventually. So excited!!!!
Anyway, crazy jumping around the room phase over, I have been wondering what conversation catergory teenagers fall into. I mean, parents and adults don't like our company. Well, the cool ones do but most think we shouldn't be involved in adult conversations, which I think could possibly be being as mean and bi-tch-ey (I do not swear) as teenage girls.
And kids are snotty brats who talk stupidly and are evil. Do we just go take ourselves off to some shelf where we fester till our elderly parents now think at 30 we are now capable of being an intresting companion!!!!
Ergh, then again, some kids are cute! I will give you the example of Poppy who is playing with a cup and spoon very cuely. Awh, she pretends to drink from it!!!!
She is adorable. She is 15 nearly months but here is a picture from Christmas when she was 10 months old.
I guess I'll upload some more photos...
Poppy looking defeated because she has been told that dirty, awful word, No! She is on her Dad's lap; he is the one who stopped the naughty raggamuffin btw.
Albany, trying to persuade the parents to be gullible to her mischief. You can even tell she is planning something evil.
Me and my Mommy, looking beautiful. Not! LOL
George and Albany on the swing set outside the Indian Restraunt.
Yes, an Indian Restraunt. My Mother did not wish to cook on Christmas so my parents said we were going there with no say from the kids. But as their argument was, the J-man was more likely to have eaten curry than mash potatoes and chicken.
