Before I start typing nonsense, I just want to say two things.
First, me and my bud Tiki, who's amazing blog is here, have just made another blog which is here. It's for our Textiles lesson, where we're learning to make a kimono. So, if you want to know how to make a kimono that will fit either a two year-old or quite a big cat- check it out!
And also, and I am SO happy about this... I've just published my first short story on Amazon for everyone to see!
The link is here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00ZB1GI22
And I'll give you the summary right here so you can decide whether or not to have a read.
(Just bear in mind that the story took me a few months, and the summary took a few minutes so if the summary looks rubbish, the story's probably and hopefully better than you'd think. Hopefully.)
They are finally free.
They are Lost Souls.
Christmas will never be the same again in the Kay mansion, especially for Gwen and Ace- the inseparable siblings.
What happens when Gwen stumbles upon the Curse- putting the lives of herself and those she loves in danger?
What has Ace been hiding after all these years?
And who is the mysterious Aunt?
They say that you cannot run from the past until it runs into you. But what if you go looking for it?
That sounds quite cheesy, but I'll do a recap. Basically, it's Christmas and you've got a brother and sister who live with their parent's in their Great-Great-Great Aunt's mansion. There's this weird curse. That's all you need to know.
Um, the endings quite weird and if it's quite an anticlimax- then I'm really really sorry.
Also, at some points it might seem quite demented. I'm not actually that demented, believe it or not. But it needs to be creepy, and I think I managed to do that.
(Your feedback would be greatly appreciated because I don't normally write stories- so if you do read it and want to tell me why it's so bad, then you know where the comment box is. RIGHT BELOW, SO GET TO IT!)
It costs £1 and I really hope it's worth it.
Thank you for considering!
Should we get on with the show?
I think so...
We left off on Friday after the concert. And I gave you a pep talk on being nervous, which felt awesome, by the way. Thanks to the people came up to me or texted me saying they liked it. (You know who you are!)
I hope it didn't sound too cheesy, and if it did- tough. There's plenty more of where that came from.
Seriously, though. I want to do stuff like that on this blog. I'm obviously going to write about my life, no matter how boring it is. But I also want to talk about other stuff, things that are important and that matter to me. So, if I feel like you need a pep talk, then I will give you a pep talk. And you just have to deal with it, I'm afraid.
And it's been two days since I posted that, so not a lot's gone on since then. I've literally been food shopping, out for a coffee and watched Netflix. It's pretty sad that my life has come to this, but to be honest, I don't really care.
So, I thought that I'd use this wonderful opportunity of a slight writer's block to tell you a little bit more about me. And if you already know me, then I hope you learn something new.
My name's Lucy, I'm not going to tell you how old I am because... well, because. I'm basically just a normal teenager living in England. Beautiful, sunny, warm England.
I have green eyes (I'd say I'm very lucky, because only 1% of the population has green eyes. I'm about to get a whole lot more special, in a minute.) and brown hair... very descriptive, I know.
I wear glasses (I've just googled this and it says 6 out of 10 people in the world wear glasses or contact lenses. I'm not very special in that respect, but I hate wearing them all the same.)
They're the really dorky ones...
(I literally googled nerd glasses and this was one of the first images that came up)
And the saddest thing is, I started wearing them before they 'came into fashion' and while they were still known as nerd glasses.
Wow.
And, lucky for me, I'm also left-handed. And if you're left-handed too, you'll see that actually, it's a bigger deal than you think. Not only do we have to deal with this:
Or this:
Or even this:
(It's hard to believe, but stupidly true) D:
We also have to do everything the other way round- and we need to do it with left-handed scissors, or non-smudge pens. Everything's so much more expensive- and a lot of the time, companies don't even think about making their stuff to suit lefties too.
In my school, we have to learn Latin (I'm dropping it next year, yay!) And I found out that the Latin translation of being left handed literally means sinister.
Also, people used to burn and drown people like me because they thought we were witches.
So if you think being left-handed is no big deal, and that we make it out to be so much harder than what it is for righties... uh, no.
:D
(That was so much fun!!)
It's nice to be different, though. Even if it's harder, I guess it still makes me stand out from the crowd a little more.
I have a little brother, whose name I'm not going to share with you because... well, because. My parent's are divorced, so I live in two different houses. My little brother only lives at my dad's- so I see him once every two weeks.
I go to an all-girls school, where we have to learn Latin. The teacher hates me so much, probably because I annoy her on purpose.
She hates cats. After every topic we have to do a topic sheet. And somehow, I always manage to find a picture of a cat to do with that topic. She always writes, in Latin, something like "Bad girl!"
My favourite lessons are English and Music. (I hope you can tell that by now...) I guess you could say I'm creative, because I know for certain that I'm no good at Physics.
My favourite colour is Teal, which looks like this
TV shows I like: Pretty Little Liars, Once Upon A Time, 24, NCIS, Sherlock, Friends, Modern Family, The Office, Derek etc etc
Films that I like: The Maze Runner, Love Actually, Hunger Games, Twilight, TFIOS, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, anything Marvel etc etc
Books that I like: The Maze Runner Trilogy, Harry Potter, Maximum Ride, Tape by Steven Camden, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Hunger Games trilogy, Twilight, The Host by Stephanie Meyer plus MANY MANY MORE (I think I might need to make another page with all the books, films and TV shows that I recommend...)
There is, of course, the endless list of music- which I'm not going to say right now. But I promise you that all that will be up soon!
Should I give you a list of all the music concerts I've been too?
1. Girls Aloud (Twice. I regret it.)
2. Take That (Now that one, I don't regret)
3. Tom Odell (just. amazing. His support act was George Ezra, so... Yeah!)
4. John Newman (fun fact: I awkwardly patted dear ol' John on the shoulder. He walked away a couple of seconds later)
5. Lewis Watson (bae: I also saw Amber Run live too when they were his supporting act. Check 'em out!)
6. Ben Folds (the guy is literally the piano)
7. Duke Special (not very famous, but incredible live. He had no voice when I saw him live, so he called up members of the audience to sing his songs with him. I almost put my name down, but then I realised that I was just a kid and that there is this thing called being nervous- but I have to add on to this story at some point!!)
8. 5SOS (I posted about them. I better not say anything else about that in case I burst into flames)
9. I'm seeing 1D in concert in October- so... Ahh!
People I went to see in concert in my dreams:
1. Ed Sheeran
2. Coldplay
3. Kodaline
4. Bastille
5. Ed Sheeran
6. Panic! At The Disco
7. Fall Out Boy
8. Coldplay
9. Ed Sheeran
10. The Script
11. Imagine Dragons
12. Ed Sheeran
13. Ed Sheeran
14. Coldplay
Plus too many more. I haven't been alive long enough.
My favourite food is anything that has pasta in it. 😍 (I also love hula hoops)
Cherry Coke is the best thing ever, I've fallen in love with it.
My favourite animals are tortoises, elephants and cats. Luckily, I have two cats, but the whole elephant thing is kind of illegal.
I'd keep a tortoise if I could. But, that's not going to happen anytime soon...
I'm saving a few other things for later posts, because I think that they would be best to talk about as separate things, if that makes sense.
But don't fear! You'll soon know me better than you know yourself!
I am also incredibly bad at telling jokes, dancing and playing strip poker.
Kidding, I swear.
See what I mean about being bad at telling jokes?
Just forget it. And don't bring it up again.
I know this post might seem incredibly long and boring- but:
1: I couldn't think of anything else useful, that won't make you throw up all over your screen.
2: I wanted to do this at some point anyway- you may as well know now. Right?
Hope you're doing good. If not- well, you know where I am.
Fly On,
Luce xx
PS: The song this time is Time by Mikky Ekko.
PPS: I'm not kidding about the playlists. They're almost done! I'll put one playlist up at a time, so that I don't run out of songs to give to you. But, then again, Spotify's great for recommending new people.
PPPS: This is becoming a regular part- but I'm happy about that. You all deserve to know how amazing you are. So, smile. You're worth it. Please don't forget that. Yes, you.
