Marlow, 20th June

So last week I met the lovely Anne and we went for a walk around the beautiful Marlow and took some pictures on her incredible camera. (I'm so in love with it it's insane). It was definitely a lovely afternoon!

Pinterest spammers drive me crazy

So I love pinterest. Although I do mostly use it as a personal shopping tool... but occasionally I do like to scroll down through my feed, occasionally re-pinning a few recipes (which I promise one day I will try) and when I'm doing this there's one thing that really drives me crazy...

Yup, you guessed it (I'm sure the title didn't help you there at all) - Pinterest spammers.
You're just scrolling through the nice little jumble of pins and then BAM, you come across this block of 100... sunglasses? pairs of earrings? WTF.

Let's be honest, it cannot be possible that you've looked properly at all 100 of those items and decided that each of them are so amazing that you have to pin them. No. You've just decided to pin them all. Probably because you're getting sponsored to do so. Well I don't know much about that but it's incredibly annoying and completely defeats the purpose of pinterest. Pinterest is meant to be about individuals pinning the things they love and like, creating a personal merge of interesting snippets of their interests. If I wanted to look through a brand or shops entire collection, I would go to their website. Or at the very least their own pinterest page. Frankly when a big block of junk like that comes up, I will scroll straight through without looking at any of it, because it annoys me and because it makes me think that well, if none of it stood out to you, who's to say any of it's going to stand out to me? Oh, and I'll unfollow you, naturally.

So please please please, pinterest users of the world, don't just pin everything you think might interest someone. Pin the things that mean something to you. Be an individual. It's what this wonderful website is for.



Oh and I don't claim I'm the most interesting pinner of all time, but feel free to take a look - http://pinterest.com/beccaleeny/

I laugh like a retard.

Because that's just how I laugh when I find something funny.

 And you're really not supposed to worry about how you laugh...

If you've chosen a laugh, I think you may be laughing for the wrong reasons.

And the right people will think your retarded laugh is amazing. 

Come on come all you're just in time...

...to witness my first breakdown.

(Okay, maybe not my first...)

So after weeks of feeling tired constantly, I finally actually end up off school sick these past few days.

But I'm not the only one...

My friends have been dropping off like flies! One of them won't be in school for weeks, maybe even months! Something about chronic fatigue...

I say it's stress. AS' are slowly killing us...

However, these past few days have been good for me. I've taken some time out, relaxed... now I need to kick start myself right back in there *groan*

But before I go do that (okay, yes I'm procrastinating - it's what I do best!) , I was reading my friends blog the other day and she included 100 facts about her. Now I don't have time for 100, so let's try 10? Here we go...

1) I want to move to New Zealand. Or maybe America... or Canada? Somewhere different...
2) I don't believe in God.
3) I'm deathly afraid of making mistakes.
4) I overanalyse. Everything. Including what to eat for breakfast.
5) I cry. A lot. Even when I'm not really upset...
6) I'm currently addicted to Pretty Little Liars.
7) I only watch live TV when I'm ill.
8) I like to 'waste' my time playing silly games that I really should be too old for. Such as Cooking Academy. Or Tamagotchi Corner Shop...
9) I love hugs and cuddles. I could cuddle people all day. Especially my boyfriend. (But it doesn't haaave to be him)
10) I am very anal about following baking recipes. Especially Hummingbird Bakery. But I like to think that's the reason why everyone loves my cupcakes so much...

So there you go, that'll do for today :)

Before I go...

I GOT MY READING FEST TICKET ON MONDAY NIGHT!

I officially cannot wait :')

Oh and check out my latest LB...

Cheerio!

So I know sequels are usually crap...

... but this one just takes the biscuit!

I have to say, Mean Girls has to be one of my favourite movies of all time, I mean where would we be without the famous 'Don't have sex, or else you will get pregnant... and die.' or the all time classic 'Boo, you whore.' ?? Teenage life just would not be the same...

But Mean Girls 2? What is this tweenage bullshit? Take it back to the Disney factory and call it Bratz...

oh wait, they already did that!

IT'S SACRILEGE I TELL YOU!

The saddest thing for me is that I was quite excited when I first heard about Mean Girls 2, even though we all know deep down, that it is impossible to ever truly remake a classic, Friends and Mean Girls will have to remain a thing of the past... But when I saw the trailer for Mean Girls 2, I was truly horrified ...

What Disney don't seem to understand is that although the original Mean Girls plot was a little far-fetched, it was something we could relate to...
Bitchy plastics? common feature of most High Schools.
Burned stereotypical loser ex-friend of plastics? Well it's kinda a package deal...
Sneaky sabotage, rumours, back stabbing and lots and lots of bitching? The obvious revenge plan...

But sexy new girl leads to civillian uprising to overthrow the plastic royalty?
NEVER, EVER IN A MILLION GAZILLION YEARS.

And what's with their outfits?


I'm sorry, let's compare...

Okay so most of us never thought that the plastics outfits were amazing or anything, but they looked realistic, they didn't wear tacky sunglasses and most importantly, they didn't look like they'd been shopping in the aged 9-13 section !! No, in some way, they definitely looked kinda, hot. These girls look like they're trying to look rich, and failing. MISERABLY!


*sigh*

Okay, rant over.

Now let's enjoy some of the best bits of the original... :')



until next time <3

summer, hope & london bands (:

So I wouldn't say I've had the best day of my lifee... but there was some pretty darn nice things about it xD

So besides being a fairly average day a few days before the end of term with too many teachers actually making us do work there was...

1) Our immense debate in RS.

Hell yeah, we debate ;) about what we'd let our children watch on TV, about atheism, about emotions and where they come from and why we have them... it was intense !
...and the gibbin (our so called 'teacher') still decided to have a go at us saying we shouldn't complain about having too much work next year - wtf?

2) Making a Summer 2010 banner in PE

So we get to PE and they're all, 'you can watch this trampolining... or you can sit in the changing rooms and chat' well, gee, I don't know ermmm errr.... you know what, I'll just sit in the changing rooms (: And then in the changing rooms there was a random role of paper table cloth (or industrial sized toilet paper for industrial sized ars' as Belinda put it) so I cut a bit off, nabbed a sharpie and some fine liners, wrote 'Summer 2010' on it and got everyone to sign xD It's now on my wall and I think it's pretty awesome (:


3) Running into the cool American Hope people

So I don't know if you guys have ever heard of the Hope festival/mission thing (tbh I don't really know exactly what it is :/) but it's something to do with the baptist church. Anyways today I was getting off the bus and I saw a load of people wearing 'Hope' t-shirts and I also saw my friend Freya was talking to them so I went over and turns out they were a bunch of girls our age from America and we actually chatted to them for ages about the differences between here and there and it was really awesome! They also gave us these cool things called silly bands which are kind of like thin stretchy shag bands but when you take them off they ping back into little shapes...

'Silly Bands' - Microphone, drum kit & lion

4) London bands xD
So I had to have my cello lesson a bit early this evening, and the girl who had her lesson after me was a girl from my primary school, Jess. So when I was packing up, she see's I'm wearing an Ivyrise wristband and we ended up having this whole conversation about London bands and it turns out we were into practically the same stuff - which I thought was pretty cool :L

So yeahh - lots of small things = good day :)

Also...
Tomorrow is the release of LIGHTS Acoustic EP - so check it out, I know I will be (:

That's all for now dudes :)
