On Sunday morning I went to London to see my Aunt, Uncle and two baby cousins. It was pretty awesome, the weather was amazing, and it was the first time I’ve gone down there on my own. I had to take two trains and a tube to their place, and again to get back on Monday, but the timing was so perfect I didn’t really care.
I got on the first train at about 9:20am and finally arrived at their place at around 1:00. It was so hot that we decided to go to the hardware store for the air conditioning. We actually ended up buying an umbrella for the outside table and some plants.
When we got back we set up this weird floral sprinkler that goes crazy when you turn on the hose. It’s very intimidating. Shay and Zac ran through the water and it was all very fun.
I know I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I should, so to make up for it I’m writing more than I usually do.
I’ve actually been quite busy recently with jobs, Christmas and New Years. I’ve decided to jump into the world of work early to get an idea of what it’s like. Not bad…
I designed a website for a singer songwriter called Heather. She has a blog about women like herself and wished that she could have a better website. I thought this was a great opportunity to try out my web design skills, so I gave it a shot.
Heather is now the proud owner of LyricalVenus.com. She wanted it turquoisey so that’s how I made it. I personally preferred it a heavy dark green, but I’m £165 richer than I was a week ago so I shouldn’t complain.
Additionally, if anyone would like a cheap, hosted Wordpress blog I would be happy to design it for you. I charge £200, but out of that I pay for the hosting of your new website. A fresh set of graphics created with your input comes standard. If necessary, blogs and comments can be transferred from your old blog to the new.
I’m naturally a messy person, it’s who I am. But there is a limit to the amount of mess I will happily endorse and contribute to.
The aftermath of my sixteenth birthday party was horrifying. Like, it wasn’t hugely messy (by my standards anyway) but the mess wasn’t clothes and cd’s.
It was soggy crisps, wads of cake and moist patches in the carpet. That’s just unhygienic. And gross…
The party was from about 8:30 PM until 3:00 AM. It was a mostly awesome party, but there were a few annoying things about it.
Two weeks ago I went on a German exchange trip. It was the third time I’d been on this trip because it’s really fun. This was the first half of the trip, so the Germans came over here for a week, staying at my house on the last night. In October (I think) We go to Frankfurt am Main. There are multiple Frankfurts, with different rivers going through them (the river Main being one of them).
The three Germans assigned to be my partners were Martin, Micah and Samantha. Martin was 18, Micah and Sam were 17 and they were really cool. Normally I got assigned 12 year-olds, but I was the oldest ‘English’ person on the trip apart from the teachers, so I became a helper. I just had to do head counts and make sure people didn’t mess around. That’s what my partners were doing on the trip, so I was assigned them.
Earlier this week I was refused service at my local Chinese/Cantonese takeaway store – The Ruby. I asked for a ginger beer, which I could see clearly in the drinks fridge. The old Chinese man at the counter said “Nooo” very Chinesely. I asked him why and he told me I was too young for beer. I laughed and told him that ginger beer is not actually beer and promptly asked him again for the ginger beer. By then the ginger beer had taken to staring at me thirst-quenchingly. Once again told i could not have the obviously non-alchoholic ginger drink, I got a little peeved.
I’m a 17 year old male New Zealander with headphones. I was vegetarian for a long time until I stopped. I live in Birmingham, UK. My girlfriend’s name is Hannah and I have two dead goldfish, Fluffy and Spotty. They’re all awesome.
