Argh! I should have listened to my fellow vloggers!

I spent pretty much all night trying to upload my vlog update but it didn't work! Youtube didn't upload it! It's very annoying! But I'll live. Wish me luck for my second try. Luvs ya, Amy xxx

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.

Youtubes!

So, basically, I'm here today to invite you to subscribe to my youtube account, xStrawberryBoox (lame name I know but it'll do) I am gonna make and upload a vlog. And you may be think "wait, but Amy, you already have links to youtube at the side of this page" Indeed I do, but those are for my friend Mirela's channel. She's pretty cool, check it out! anyway, I'll put a link next to hers and you lot can enjoy. Or mock.

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.
