#7 : stressed out

Hey people,
I am so stressed out at the moment I simply have too much too do!
Revision all over the place which I just cannot be bothered with. Also art projects which all need to be completed at the same time. Then exams and other coming changes.
They didn't exactly make this easy for us did they?
Today finally finished my t-shirt but whilst doing so I damaged my tongue because I got a needle stuck in it. Also, I had speaking exams for German today which went well although I did stumble on a few things :{.
Overall today has not been that great and now I have to go and do an hour long English essay for tomorrow.
I have noticed that these blogs are getting shorter and shorter so I promise to write a lot more at weekend to make up for it as I will have more time to do this too. Bye for now.

#6 : exams

Hey people,
Today was the start of the GCSEs for me. I had a music exam this morning which was okay but tomorrow morning I have my German speaking exam and I am so not ready for it I don't even know my notes.
Plus I still have other work to do tonight as well, I need to finish my graphics project now because I promised the teacher I would and then I have an hour English question too do so I think it's going to be a late one for me. I don't mind.
I hate it when I have this much stuff to do because it means I have a lot lot lot less time to do what I want to do, mainly the Internet, I hate it when I have to neglect it because I get out of the loop and behind on everything such as watching YouTube videos. Last time I only missed YouTube for one day and it took me two hours to catch up. This time I have missed four days so far.
Hopefully I should be able to have a bit of a break tomorrow and go back to normal for a couple of days before more exams next week.
Yet another shortish blog goodnight.

#5 : busy bee

Hey people,
Today for me has been really busy and still will be right up until I go to sleep.
Firstly, I had to go to school as usual and lost my lunch time due to a revision lesson and tomorrow I have to do it again. Then when I got home from school I had to fix the sewing machine to use it and then keep fixing it between uses and thread changes in order for me to make my t-shirt for my graphics project, which, now is constructed but needs the detail adding which it is ready for now. That will be another day probably tomorrow.
So now I have done that I have jumped on my laptop to write this and to print some final things for my PSE work which I need to do for tomorrow. Then I have to do some more graphics work and do a 1 hour English exam before tomorrow as well. This means that I will have to use my time properly to get all these things done.
I can't wait for some of this to be over and then I can relax and have a lot of weight taken off my shoulders.
Also tomorrow morning I have my first GCSE exam which is music. I must get on now so night.

#4 : bank holiday

Hey people,
Today is bank holiday Monday and usually I do pretty much nothing on these days because it is well ... a day off, and today has been no different.
I spend two hours of today out with my mum doing food shopping which was boring and then I have just spent the rest of the day trying to sort my graphics project out but it didn't exactly go to plan.
For my final piece I need to make a T-shirt from scratch ... as soon as my sewing machine saw the fabric it told itself not to work. It totally jammed up on me, so we tryed my mum's but hers didn't work either.
After some time of de-tangling threads and moving on to the third machine we finally got it work. However then it was too late to do any sewing which then lead to me writing this.
So as far as days go this one was pretty rubbish apart from the weather turning dull.
This blog was really short I need to find more to talk about but can't so it shall have to end here.

#3 : photography

Hey people,
So today was Tulip Sunday at my dad's local park so we decided to go along as it was a nice day. He proceeded to give me his camera to have a play with and take some real photos which can now be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/emmahaynesphotography I am actually really proud of the pictures I took. So when me and my dad got home he gave me the leads for the USB port and I uploaded my photos, after looking through them we decided to make a photo CD slide show so that we could see them bigger on the TV. He helped me choose some relaxing music with no lyrics and then gave me the whole CD we had listened too. Then he gave me some CDs and cases and I started to make my slide show. Then my dad gives me the camera to keep just because I liked it so much and he said he was going to give it to me as a going to college gift anyway so I could just have it early.
So my dad is really cool for today and this now means that I can spend my money elsewhere as I have been saving up for a better camera for a bit and this one although it is nearly 18 months old it has never been used and is almost the same specification as the one I was saving for. Mega WIN!
And that really concludes this blog as this is the only thing I have done today. So please go and look at my pictures.

#2 : graphics project

Hey people,
So last night I searched the Internet for heat transfer paper and so travelled out to Manchester today to get my things to help me complete my graphics project which is useful.
Also whilst in Manchester today I went into the Arndale Centre, there is a new shop in there which opened today called 'Clas Ohlson'. This shop comes from Sweden much like IKEA but it is a kinda cross between IKEA and Argos. This is because it sells things like kitchen stuff like IKEA but then sells things like watches and power tools. Sounds like an interesting place but I didn't go in as i had no time, I will do next time I go. I picked up one of their brochures and they have a lot of stuff inside but it is very cute and compact, it's suitably handbag size and not giant and heavy like that of Argos.
Furthermore, when I was in the Arndale I went into the Apple store, like we all love to do now-a-days, so I was just doing the usual tweeting, three tweets in fact. Then this guy who worked there threw me out of the store. Therefore this made the goodness of the Apple store turn to shit.
One final thing that was in the Arndale today was some kind of ABBA tribute band, they were playing in the centre and to be honest In think the sound quality was really bad considering it was in a public place and they had a sound man with all the gear stood at the side of the stage. I did try to film it for YouTube however the sound on my camera is broken so it only picks up small chunks of sound which makes it skippy but when the sound did work all you could hear was a load of hissing and drums. To conclude this video will never appear on the YouTubes.
I do actually have more I wish to say but I think I have written enough now so I will save it for tomorrow if I can remember what I want to say.

#1 : day begin

Hey people,
So this is the first day of my blog everyday in may blogs :D
So far may has been pretty boring, I mean we had like a normal school day and for half of that I did nothing partly because I just can't be bothered but also because I have finished my work in my science lessons.
One good thing that happened today was that it was my friend's birthday I have no idea what gifts she received though.
So it's Friday night and how do I spend it? Searching the Internet for local craft places the sell heat transfer paper. I was supposed to be going to Stockport to get it from 'Hobbycraft' however I found that they do not sell it so now I have to go to Manchester which I so do not wish to do, in order to get this stuff. However if I do not go to Manchester to get it then I will not have it and then will not be able to finnish my graphics project so this is kinda urgent.
Also tonight I'm supposed to have done some school work but I did not but I will definitely do it tomorrow oh what fun but I will be distracted by the television too so this will probably result in yet another unproductive evening for me. We will soon find out.
Currently it is 00:18 so hopefully this site posts in American time and it will still be may 1st otherwise I am sorry and this has a flaw in the first day. that's not supposed to happen.
well I think I have written enough for one day so I'm going to go and do something else with in the Internet world.

"More reasons to shop at Morrisons" ........

Today I decided that would proceed in purchasing a cheese and tomato sandwich from the supermarket which goes by the name of 'Morrisons'

For some unknown random reason I decided to read the packaging whilst I was munching away.

Whilst doing this I came across a message on the packet which you would not usually expect to see this read .........

" Here at Morrisons we believe in keeping things simple. This tasty sandwich has been made for you today - here-in-store, in our kitchens, by our wonderful staff, using simple, everyday ingredients. We hope you enjoy eating your sandwich. We enjoyed making it for you. "

Myself I thought that this was rather strange yet lovely to have this on my sandwich packet, so next time you do shop at Morrisons and purchase a sandwich do take the extra 30 seconds to read the packet and see this message for yourself.

The whisk .......

I bought a whisk from Argos for £3.96.
In order to do my graphics work.
I fully dismantled it, removed every screw.
And this was the result ..........



This just goes to show that even the cheap stuff is made properly
[even if it is by a small child in a sweat shop for 20 pence]

Try the random quiz

There is this random website with a random quiz on it.

I found this on Anthony's blog and gave it a go and it is well ........

see for yourself !!

You just have to type in the top 100 words in the english dictionary [it sounds so simple, well it is really]

After a few gos you soon find out that it is all simple words which when you think about is is a bit silly because you actually have to think a lot about what you are writing because your mind is trying to think of complicated words but they really are not !!


So if you have any sense go and have a go at it ..............

http://quizicon.com/100-Most-Common-English-Words-Quiz.html


I shall now go and keep having a go at it and I will see how long it takes me to get all or most of the words on the list.

Another one to try is name the punctuation symbols .............

http://quizicon.com/Punctuation-Symbols-Quiz.html

I am not very good at this one because it helps if you study french. [which I don't]

If you go on the website home page there is a whole list of quizzes so go and have a peep !! x

I wish I had a hole in my wall !

The inventors of 'Hole in the wall' presented by Dale Winton are amazing .........

It is so great to see these celebrity people showing a different side, a slightly less professional side, a sprinkle of fun.

If you don't know the concept of it, basically there is a wall with shapes in it which speeds towards the contestants and they have to get into the correct shape to fit through the wall and if they don't they fall into a pool of water. Also there is the fact that they do all of this wearing just a tight, shiny, lycra suit. Oh what fun !




If you haven't already watch it !!!!!! otherwise go on youtube !! x

Easily inspired ...

At the moment I seem to be getting very easily inspired by the simplest of things for example:

-Pete Doherty
-Anthony Hill
-Poets
-Writers
and many other things .........

But I think that it is so great that I have all of this inspiration around me because then I can do some of my own stuff !

At this moment in time, well not this exact moment, I am writing some poetry and I am also working on a music project of 1 cover song and 1 of my own so that I can put them on to youtube for the world to see !

So look out for that @ www.youtube.com/zigzagem92

but for now here is one of my poems from my book- called life

Acting like nothing ever changed
Moving on, the past still remains
Forever we see no future
This life is just torture
We have history
But no story
The history is present
Like such in cement
What ever awaits us
Does not engage us
Guess this is our life
This heap of shite

mock GCSE #1 ...........

Okay so I have to prepare something for my mock GCSE graphics exam which is in four weeks. We had to choose between a foody thing or recycling. So I chose recycling.


The basic idea for my final piece is to make two people; the first from recycleable materials such as paper or cans. And the second made from ...........


one of these ----------------------------------->>
but I have to spend the time to unscrew every single screw in the thing and sort it all out.
Then in the 10 hour exam time I have to make these two people and photograph them how nice !
Hopefully I should get a good grade out of it with the support of my sketchbook and research. If I don't it will be really bad because I want my grades dude !!
The ideas in this blog have been copyrighted as of 23:07 13 Nov 2008.
(if any ideas are copied I will know and i reserve the right to hit you when I do [a word of advice just don't copy me] ).

Poetry ........

The following is a really funny poem about sex which my friends Paige and Laura participated in writing :

At first it was illegal
But then everyone was doing it, yes even that fat seagull
I thought about waiting
But my hymen was chaffing
So I got him in the sack
Then opened my crack
I thought I'd shave
For my new man Dave
But it went a bit wrong and I cut my clout
So when he saw it in the bedroom he started to scream and shout
He wanted a tit-wank
So I told him to talk to Frank
Then he slapped me silly
Cause I refused to suck his willy
Damn that boy got rough
And now I'm up the duff
Yeah that's right, he hurled his load up my muff
When I'm done I'll have a right pie of a chuff
Anal was an option but I thought no
I don't want an arsehole like a wizard's sleeve
So we did it doggy style and that's the way I conceived
Now I look like a whale
My anal virginity is up for sale
But now my chuff is officially dead
I think I'll have to stick to giving head

the end

This poem made me 'lol' !!
Hope you liked it xD xx

Mr P.D


Pete Doherty the Babyshamble and Llibertine !
This guy who some people hate and some peopple love !

Personally I love him for a few main reasons:

  • Talent
  • Poetry and lyrics are great
  • He is generally lovely
  • He is an inspiration

I never seem to understand why people hate him so much because he is just a person he shares the same world as us so why is there the need for this discrimination against him? This is the reason why:


  • His history of drug abuse
  • His association with the likes of Amy Winehouse


Clearly there are people out there who do take interest in him and like what he does because other wise they wouldn't have bothered spending the time to make this piece of artwork of him.




Pete Doherty shall remain to be one of my many idols and heroes !! x

bonfire parties can result in arse burning .........

Yesterday my next door neighbours had a bonfire party with the main components : alcohol, fire, fireworks, music and people.

So it was all going fine ; the fire works were going off colourfully and the fire was burning rapidly. So it sound all okay until the effect of the alcohol kicked in, it was a riot !!

Anyway they had this empty garden shed which wasn't really being used for anything and was just a bit manky and lame to be honest but it didn't deserve the treatment which it got ............

The guy next door in his drunken and possible high state of mind and body decided to start booting this shed to bits and putting it on the bonfire including the plastic roof.

By this time the guests were more drunk and started to have this huge row about shit knows what and the music was getting louder.

Then they all got a bit scared because they let off those fireworks which sound like screaming but they started firing at the house of their own accord.

After yet more alcohol and sandwiches were consumed the guy decided it would then be a god idea for one of his mates to shove this rocket up his arse and let it of and film it : so in the end they did it and it was so funny to watch him just running around shouting "fuck that burned my arse"

I of course was watching all of this from the very safe distance of my bedroom window until; they caught me looking and started waving at me !

After hiding from them for like half an hour i went back to the window to find that as soon as i peeped my head round the edge of the blinds i was being stared at again.

Then that was the end of the party for me i couldn't watch any more but their party went on until the early hours of the morning !

So now i think that we have learnt that if you go and get drunk at a bonfire party then there is the possibility of disorder and getting your arse cheeks burnt !!

This is all very random.
