Seeing as I haven't blogged in a while and that I am sitting in front of a Mac with nothing better to do, I thought I would share some of the words floating around in my head :)
Looking at the list of deadlines and work to do in front of me, it seems as if I will never complete this semester. I think starting an article or piece of work is the hardest thing... I find that once I have completed the first sentence things start to progress and move more swiftly.
My first deadline for this year is in two days time. I have to write an 800 word travel article, which to be honest will be the easiest one for me to do. I decided to write my article on Greece, more specifically Crete as I loved the island! It was beautiful, and I'll be linking the country to wildlife as that will be the topic of my university magazine project :D
On a different note, I am off to New Jersey at the end of March! I am really looking forward to it as I will be able to meet my distant relatives (Metaphorically and literally) for the first time. I have been to the states three times, this trip will be my fourth. I was lucky enough to visit Florida twice, staying in a villa each time. I then visited New York a couple of years later, however we went in February and it was absolutely freezing! I suppose New Jersey early April will be a little bit better, but nothing like the heat of Florida in August, it made me come over quite funny at some points. I'm not used to it being from England... We get a week of nice weather in the year if we are lucky ;)
Speaking of bad weather, the snow is back... Which I am not very happy about. I did like snow until this year; Now I can drive the snow just prevents me from doing every day things, I thought the snow phase had passed for this year, but unfortunately we have got more than usual. England is never prepared for snow even though we get it every year and have a year to prepare for it. I would drive in the snow but my mum is a bit wary of me doing it, probably because I have only been driving for just over a year and a crash, even caused by another driver will put my insurance right up. It's gradually going down and I am very happy for it to stay that way :P
Anyway I need to be getting back to my phone to play Candy Crush Saga... Okay, It's not a need, I'm just finding myself addicted to it at the moment although it isn't productive in the slightest.
Goodbye.

A new year, a better year
A bit late I suppose, but I'm really looking forward to what this year brings.
Hopefully I will find another job, I have just applied to Hobby Craft, would absolutely love to work there, it's like heaven...
I've applied to be a blood donor, completed my first university exam, learning shorthand, starting to get back in to crafts and hobbies, the only thing really holding me back is my job.. but you can't have everything can you? People are a lot worse off than me, and it brings in a bit of money I suppose. I would just love to enjoy my work, something I find interesting and have a passion for... That's why I want to become a journalist, it opens so many doors and you can become skilled in so many different areas.
I just LOVE creativity.
I've never really done new years resolutions, I haven;t got the will power to stick to them unfortunately. I get a new idea in my head and move on to that instead. I'm also a fairly impatient person when it comes to certain things, when creating something or aiming towards something I try to finish it as quickly as possible, and many resolutions take time. I suppose good things come to those who wait though. Don't you wish you could just click your fingers and lose a stone in weight? But I guess that takes the satisfaction out of it and you will have done no work towards it. I have a mixed mind depending on what the situation is...
Here are a few recent pictures of my shenanigans...
The teddy I made,
Giving blood, saving lives,
The shorthand alphabet.

Ill for Christmas?
I really hope not, it's three days away. I have a chesty cough and aching all over, headache and dizzy every time I turn my head. This isn't as bad as my brother's Laryngitis though. I've had that before and it's one of the most painful things I've ever experienced..
I did read in the paper (The Mirror) that the 'winter bug' or norovirus has increased 80 odd percent since last year. It's hard to imagine.. Luckily I think I had that a few months back so mine should already be out of the way..
But yes, I had to ring in sick at work early hours of the morning. I nearly fainted too.. this is one thing I hate about my work, their hygiene is appalling.
'I've got the flu, I'm snotty and I've been sick' 'That's okay, come in, we need people, come and snot all over the sandwiches and food at the bakery and give your illness to all of the staff members and the vulnerable elderly customers and children you serve.'
It makes me angry, not just because it's just before Christmas, but because they send you warnings and letters telling you that you've had 5 days off sick in TWO YEARS. Well, if I come in, you will lose even more staff because I will pass it on, and I've helped them out SO many times before covering people, many more times than I've been off..
Anyway, moving on from the rant.
3 out of 5 people in our house have got something wrong with them, I don't want it to ruin Christmas, We've paid a lot for Christmas dinner at the Beefeater and it's usually the best part of the day. My nan is already in hospital having had both of her knees replaced and we are all worrying that she won't be home in time :(
2012 has been such a bad year for me. I mean there have been some good things too such as me starting university etc. But there have been deaths, illnesses, hospital visits and just so much crap. But to be honest, in December 2011, I had a strong feeling that 2012 would be bad for me. This year however, I feeling quite the opposite, I feel like 2013 is going to be better, a lot better.
I can usually tell when something bad is going to happen, it's like I have some sort of gift :P

Trapped in a world I don't want to be in
I'm not referring to life, just this world. The things that go on make me ask why.
People are dying but money is more important. People don't work and get given everything, yet those who go through education for over 20 years and earn a degree, working helplessly and struggling on a daily basis get nothing. Bullying and the words people use to bring people down, it's making people give up.
The government is failing and in a lot of cases people are better off in prison. I watched a tv show about prisons and one man said he would rather be in prison because you get everything given to you, he said it's harder out there.
And then there are those people who take their anger out on other people and end innocent people's lives. Today for example, why a man would go in to a primary school and shoot dead over 27 people, most of them aged between 5 and 10, I don't know.
It's sickening. Absolutely disgusting.
Yes, life is tough but if it's tough for you, don't make it even worse for other people. Losing a loved one is the worst thing that can ever happen to anyone.
These are only a few of the reason's why I think this world is corrupt.
At least there are some things that keep us going, help us forget about the shit that's going on around us.
My list of things that allow me to forget about the bad things..
1: My boyfriend, love is what keeps most of us going, just wanting to be with that person so much that you push stress and other crap to one side.
2: Music, I'm pretty sure a lot of people turn to music when they are in a bad place, even if they aren't it just makes life that little bit better and gives you more of an identity.
3: Thinking about the future, thinking about a life with the one person you love, having a family and that job you've worked for and hoped for all of your life.
4: Animals, I always forget about everything when I'm around them, they don't know what's going on, and they won't get down or drag you into their problems.. unless they're hungry, then that's a big problem, especially for my cat.
Just want to end this blog with a few lyrics that are probably the best I've ever heard, so true, David Cameron should read these, Ever since I heard them I've been tempted to send them to him.
Behold, Plan B.
There's no such thing as broken Britain
we're just bloody broke in Britain
What needs fixing is the system
not shop windows down in Brixton
Riots on the television
you can't put us all in prison

Driving problems..
Problems meaning BMW drivers. There are too many of them on the roads, it's actually putting me off driving.
Hey, do you want to hear a joke? You're going to anyway..
What's the difference between a hedgehog and a BMW? ... With BMWs the pricks are on the inside.
My dad taught me that years ago and when I was young I just thought 'Silly dad and his road rage..' Oh god, he couldn't have been more right. I think I get it from him, I get so angry if someone pisses me off when driving, If someone tries to overtake in a 'Cocky' or 'BMW' way, either beeping me or making a gesture I will follow them at whatever speed I need to and stay right up their arse to completely fuck them off. It's great. The best thing is when they try to overtake you on a one lane road and you speed up when a car is coming in the opposite direction. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving anyone hints here, but 'Road Rage Sophie' does this and I can't control her. I would never take risks when driving, I don't want to cause a crash.. but the majority of these pricks need something hard to hit them. Preferably a car.
I'm definitely a sensible driver, 99% of the time.
And 99% of the time I stick to the speed limit too, which is a reason why drivers such as the Beemer prick annoy me. There are flowers at the side of the roads because people die from speeding, yet they speed past where someone has died? That's why I get road rage, I mean I wouldn't really purposely make one of them crash, I would just make sure they knew how stupid they were being.
I have a problem with contradicting myself if you haven't yet noticed. I think there are two sides to me, like a devil and an angel. The devil comes out and spurs me on to piss the Beemers off.. But the angel then says, 'SOPHIE YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, DON'T BE ONE OF THEM!' So I usually listen to her.
Reading this back I now believe I need mental help.
Bonjour.

No subject.
Well this blog will have a few subjects but they are probably not worthy of a mention in the title..
Firstly here's a picture I took last Sunday morning... Just because I love it so much.
Frost on my wing mirror at about 8am, It looks fluffy.
The snow from yesterday it quite pathetic to be honest, I think the frost we had looked a lot better. It didn't snow enough to take any nice pictures and it's all starting to melt and just look a bit messy. Well to be honest it has all just turned into ice (Which isn't good when you live at the bottom of a hill). I had to deliver Avon orders in the ice/snow last night, I wore my boots but still managed to fall flat on my face. As I walked down a speed hump I slipped and fell forwards, Luckily I was holding an empty box and fell into it, but my wrists and knees shattered to pieces. What a wonderful time of year.
Talking of Avon, This brochure before Christmas will be my last as I have so much University work to do, then exams in January. In fact I have 3 essays and portfolios in for less than two weeks time (Most of which I haven't started). It is a bit of a burden being an Avon Rep when you have other commitments, no space to store anything, and it -2000 degrees outside. I mean it would be good for a stay at home mum or something, but the money is not worth it at the moment. Plus I would rather focus on my University which costs me thousands a year rather than Avon which earns me on average £40 every three weeks.
I'm off to Top Golf in Chigwell today with my Brother and Dad. I have a new PINK driver that I have to try out. Plus we are having lunch there as a kind of late birthday present from my Dad (His words, not mine). They do have heating which is a bonus, I'm more worried about this badly pulled muscle in my left arm. Balls will fly. In strange places.
Anyway, have a nice Thursday, I'm sure it will be great for most of you sat at work or at University in the cold.
Bonjour (As Del would say)

It's snowing outside..
Obviously not inside. That would be worrying. Probably means you have a large hole in your house.
What a shame the snow missed my birthday by 7 hours.. but then again we were driving all day so it would have caused havoc.
There's never a white Christmas when it snows early on in December, it's just Sod's Law. Although I did say in my last blog that I see Christmas as being all of December..
I absolutely LOVE snow! But only really to look at and take pictures of, It's definitely time to get my camera out. Saying all of this, it's only been snowing for a few hours and I haven't even looked out of the window because I'm still in bed. My mum and Facebook decided to tell me before I've had the chance to look for myself, but I believe them. I have my new £40+ boots to wear now.. I've been waiting for this so I can wear them. But unfortunately I have to deliver my Avon today, so the customers in driving distance will have to wait as my mum doesn't want me driving in it. Sigh. But I suppose it will make things more interesting when delivering by foot.
This is only going to be a short blog because I'm tired and will probably go back to sleep for a while, It's only 7am bare in mind.
Don't slip!

A festive blog.
December has arrived! And December only means one thing nowadays, CHRISTMAS.
Although, people have gone completely over the top a month early this year, playing christmas songs on the radio and putting up decorations IN NOVEMBER. I mean, christmas shopping is acceptable any time of the year in my books as many people struggle with money and might as well buy presents when they have the money, but November is a bit early for decoration/celebration.
We usually put the decorations up on my birthday, December the 4th. It's a kind of tradition in my family. In my head though, Christmas starts in the 1st and ends on new year's eve. It's hard for it not to when you have an advent calendar.. Not that I still buy one or ask for one, I get given one. By my mum. The last two years I've had a Transformers advent calendar and a Peppa Pig advent calendar, you wouldn't think I'm going to be 19 tomorrow..
I may have bought a christmas jumper back in November.. and possibly worn it.. but that was because it was warm, very warm. I now own two christmas jumpers, one with Santa's face on the front, and another with Rudolf. They're great so I'm definitely going to make the most of wearing them this month!
As I've grown up I've become more excited about given presents rather than receiving them. But I do struggle with certain people.. I'm guessing most people do. I'm so easy to buy for, I'm happy with almost anything.. obviously there's a line, I wouldn't be happy with say a JLS calendar, I would burn it. But overall I'm happy with anything. I would in fact be very grateful for colourful socks or another pet. But the second one will not happen.. We already have a fat cat and she wouldn't like another cat stealing any of her food.
I just can't wait for the Beefeater on Christmas day, opening and giving out presents, and just being with family without having to worry about work or other stressful commitments. The only thing I would change is being able to see everyone, I have two main sides of the family and we alternate Christmas day every year, one year with my dad's side, one year with my mum's. But now I have Jim, I have three lots of family, So I can never really see my boyfriend on the day, only boxing day, or even worse, the day after.
Anyway, who's betting on a White Christmas this year? It probably won't happen, It's just a great way for bookies to make extra xmas money!

A generation of idiots.
Personally I love the traditional ways of communicating, I write to a prisoner on death row in America frequently. To be fair, that's probably the only way I can communicate with him, it's not as if I can pick up the phone and have a chat with a murderer.. But I love writing to him, There's something sentimental and personal about it, something you can touch and hold in front of you rather than it being on a screen, it doesn't really have the same effect. It may be quicker to type and send something online but it's not personal is it? Something so simple as handwriting can show personality. I suppose some people don't think about things like that, they just think about convenience nowadays.. It's a shame.
Even though I'm part of the so called 'Generation of idiots' I don't think that I've been affected as much as others.. Once upon a time a phone had only one function, to talk to someone, but now we sit at dinner tables and in restaurants browsing our phones, texting and playing games instead of being sociable with those in our company. It does annoy me when people do that, I have a phone and if there is nothing to do, yes, I will get it out and pointlessly browse, but there's a line. My boyfriend does this, he's not as bad as some people I know who think reality doesn't exist any more.. Cough, My step-dad. But I wish he would put his phone down every now and again and talk to me without worrying about notifications etc. Sorry I had to pick on you Jim, but you are my closest example ;-) In all honesty he has just got a new phone and is fascinated by it.
Lee Evans actually did a sketch on Modern Technology and teenagers. Funny but true. He said that soon kids won't know how to communicate normally, and instead will walk past each other on the street and 'type into thin air' and they'll understand each other. People talk so comfortably with each other online even if they haven't met each other, but when It comes to meeting them face to face they freeze and the awkwardness kicks in. There is hardly an awkwardness online... Sooner or later I think that people won't be able to cope with normal situations around people, they'll just panic, being too familiar with chatting on Facebook or Twitter.
In terms of idiots, I do think that there are more than there have been in previous decades, with the typical fake pregnant girl wearing Salon uniform you see walking through Harlow with a Blackberry in one hand and a cigarette in the other.. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even be able to count to ten. If all else fails, Do a beauty course at Harlow College, That's their answer. The reason why they have failed is because they are too focused on making themselves look as fake as possible for those chav like males whilst bbm-ing them. This just reminds me of a line Jim always uses, In a Chavvy Essex accent he'll say 'What's your bb babes?' Makes me feel sick lol.. But anyway, I'm slightly going off course talking about 'Fakeness'..
Overall Technology has probably had more positive impacts than negative, although it has ruined the young people of today without a doubt.
That's all folks.

It's been a while..
I'm not very consistent, I know.. Only my fourth blog and it's been months.
This blog doesn't really have a specific subject, It's just general I suppose, filling in the millions of people who read this (One at most) on the events that have occurred over the last few months.
I've recently been to Switzerland with my younger brother Jake. It was great to visit our uncle who we hadn't seen in around 6 months. He moved there because of his job, so we had the chance to visit the country. It was my first time in Switzerland and it was a very different experience.. Firstly I didn't know until I went that half of the country speak German and the other half French.. It was very awkward at times as I didn't actually listen when it came to German at school.. The most I know is counting to ten and swearing a little bit. Which probably won't get me very far, a prison at most.
The views were incredible; The country is perfect for either sightseeing or winter sports, I prefer taking thousands of pointless pictures, walking around the streets like a proper tourist with a massive camera. You get some weird looks but it's fun. The food wasn't the best to be honest, although the chocolate was good, but that's to be expected from the Swiss and there's only so much chocolate you can eat before it comes back up..
My University has been good, I started in September and currently go in 2 days a week which isn't bad at all. We are focusing on three modules in BA Journalism; News Writing, History of Journalism, and Media Law and Ethics. Law is my favourite by far, we've learnt so much more and our lecturer is the splitting image of Paul O'Grady with a Liverpudlian accent to match. He's so funny, however has a dictionary of catchphrases, favourite words and names. His head consists of Toy Town, Doctor Death, Sunny Time Tours, Jimmy Scumbag, Helen Slapper and more, all to use as examples. And whenever he reads aloud he will 'Blah Blah Blah' without fail.
Everything has it's downsides though as I am loaded with a mountain of work which include essays, portfolios, news stories and presentations, FANTASTICO.
Anyway I will have to cut it short as I am very tired and want to go to bed. I would like to say how much I love my boyfriend and how much he has inspired me (although you probably wouldn't want to hear it) In fact he started writing a blog recently and reminded me of my own. Goodnight my fellow bloggers <3

It's a hard slog..
Being a teenager is hard nowadays, the thought just crossed my mind.
Exam after exam, being tested on every aspect in your life, and then categorizing you on your so called 'ability'. I suppose I'm average in the eyes of society. 99% of people are labelled as average or just 'another person'. I guess you have to do something 'different' to get anywhere today, don't ask me what. Start a revolution. Make yourself noticed. But how? Many people prefer not to be noticed.. that's understandable. "Life's short" "No point trying to change the world" Probably won't benefit you anyway. But why live a normal life? I guess if you only live once and only get around 70 odd years, then we might as well have ambitions and unrealistic goals. You never know, they might happen.
Journalism, Travel writing, Travelling around the world. They are very easy to say, only a few words to me at the moment. Although I'd love to make them a reality. But I'm a teenager, a 'child' in some people's eyes, and all children have very unrealistic goals. "I want to be a singer when I grow up", "I want to be a footballer, famous, a model, or even a TV presenter." Will it happen though? Probably not. As pessimistic as it sounds. You have to work for it in this day and age, and as the years go by life seems to get harder. Financial trouble and a 'broken' society. I feel sorry for those being born now, so innocent and unaware of how hard life can be. Emotions getting the better of people.
But you never know.
That phrase I will take with me anywhere and everywhere.
There's no point assuming something won't happen, otherwise it won't happen because you've told yourself it won't, and not trying means a 0% chance of something happening, trying gives you a chance I guess.
Words are hard to get your head round sometimes...
And yes, I am a negative person possibly 80% of the time, but I have moments like this where I see sense. I'm in the process of learning to be positive and listen to my own good advice.
A very special person has taught me well. Making me a better person and focusing on the 'bright side'.
That's the one thing you need to achieving those ambitions. Positiveness.

Dreams...
Dreams...
Yes, that's right, I'm writing a blog on dreams. This is due to the fact that I have very strange dreams and find their meanings interesting.. even though they are most likely all made up.
Apparently medication can make your dreams very bizarre.. If that's the case then my pills are certainly doing the job! I can have dreams that I couldn't even start to explain if I tried, with everything that's been happening, everything I've seen and everything I've been thinking about all mixed together..
My dreams break down:
- 70% Strange, would never happen or just plain odd.
- 28% Violence, murders, death, zombies or other indescribable creatures.
- 1% Normal dreams.
- 1% Dreams that I can't remember.
I have had many dreams on repeat too, One that keeps repeating itself is plane's crashing. I looked the meaning up once and I was told that I am aiming or setting my goals too high and that they are all going to come crashing down on me... Joyful.
I'd be interested to hear other people's strangest dreams...
Please comment and reassure me that I'm not the only one who dreams like this ;)

First blog!
A blog you say? Hmm...
It may take me a while to get used to this...
This blog obviously has no subject... apart from it being my 'first blog'. I'm getting tired of the word blog already.
Houston, I think we've got a problem.
If you're reading this, thank you.. I think. Although you have just lost a minute of your life that you will never get back from reading a very pointless piece of text.
