Internet turning off in.. 4 mins. Better be quick!

So… today was okay. I left my art folder (I took it home) in reggie (registration) so I had to get it back at break – silly me! So I left it in Art today when I had it last. I managed to finish doing one of my butterflies today…. we’re doing a jewelry design unit, on insects and stuff. So its the research & investigation part just now. :)

So yeah… then I had Drama – uber fun! :D Will make a longer post at the weekend. ^_^

“Years teach more than books”

- Italian Proverb

I actually knew who it was, but I wrote it on google to remember it, then I accidentally wrote over it >_< So I searched it (the quote) in google, but all it was was an Italian Proverb! So I don’t know anymore who said it.

I am fascinated by quotes… you get them EVERYWHERE. In newspapers, especially, obviously. In the middle of an article to quote something already said, a line along the bottom of the page of quotes from people….. mid air “quotation” symbols…

And what fascinates me MOST is that they usually are true – and it makes you actually think.

In my planner/diary thing (you get a new one each year on the first day of school) there is quotes along the left hand pages at the bottom, on the righth and bottom there is facts.

Here are some:

“I will not condemn you for what you did yesterday, if you do it right today” – Sheldon S Maye

“Better to ask twice than to lose your way once” – Danish Proverb

“One who smiles rather than angers us always stronger” – Chinese Wisdom

“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there” – Will Rodgers

and my own personal quote: “If you say life is pointless, life will think pointless of you”

Hehe, I made it up ^_^ Hopefully no one else has said it! *clings to my personal quote*

THINK PINK

Why did I write think pink? Yes, that was pretty random, but after thinking of personal quotes, I thought of personal digs, which made me think of Think Pink – and because every girl should. End of ^_^ I have had Lisa Clark’s Think Pink and Beauty*licious books for over a year now, and they have really helped me. I got to meet Lisa Clark last year at the book festival, and she was fab – uber fab.

I love just reading Think Pink, whenever, so I really recommend it :D

Ciao for now! x

Hey! Sorry it has been sooo long since I have posted (well, 10 days? It is a LOGN time in blogging world, let me tell ya!) – but school started on the 19th, as I said – and it has been SO hectic!

Modern Studies (I took it, I’m doing Standard Grade now) is so crap it is actually UNBELIEVABLE. All we do is answer bloody questions from a bloody textbook. And because 100 people took Modern Studies (of 180 pupils in my year) we don’t get a textbook each. Oh the woes of the recession >_<

But my favourite classes have to be Craft & Design and Art & Design! In CD we’re starting a design folio, and I just started on my Design Brief. We’re all designing and making our own freestanding mirrors, which is so cool – and it is helping me practise writing as well, as I drew my own title (unlike ALL the boys in my class, who are using Word Art, lol. They’ll so fail). And I shaded it all pretty as well ^__^

In Art & Design we just finished doing a still life of a vegetable box thingmy which, in my tables’, had a cabbage, melon?, onion, INVISIBLE carrot, celery and a bottle of beer (but, just so you know, it was filled with water, not beer, LOL). I thought mine was okay though. My bottle was pretty rubbish, and my cabbage was way too bright for a cabbage, but all in all, I think it was one of the best in the class! So I am pretty proud of myself XD

Ummmmm…. what else to talk about? Well I got a phone call from Dubit asking me to make a video on what I did in the summer, where I went, my dream holiday and what I did to stop being bored! So I spent all day yesterday (people who follow me on twitter, shall know of my buggeration) making a video. Unfortunately, because it… 1) has a picture of where I live, 2) also have an abbrevation of where I live and 3) has my full name in it – means a perv could easily come and stalk me.

So if you’re desperate to see it just email me (beanbobble@NOSPAMgmail.com (remove nospam, obviously)) and I’ll give you the private link to watch it! And if you do, please reply back with your comments on it, or comment on the page itself, as I want to learn from my mistakes, ya see!

So yeah, my little sister and one of her (and my) friends started to make a video using Build-a-Bears to the song by Chipmunk, Diamond Rings (see where I got the title? ;) ). I was originally helping, but I got bored and I’m more grown up now to make videos with bears. I think it’s cute, but I’m only helping if they actually need me now, and with the techy bits. As they are both hopeless, no offense to you if either of you read this, lol.

Soooo that’s pretty much it since last time – except I received my monehs for the Sure Girl team I was on for Dubit Insider ^__^ An extra £15! Woot! Oh, and as the new term starts, all the sports start too!

So, that meant hockey (and netball, eventually) started. I went on Monday, and my trainers didn’t fit anymore, so my feet died. Along with my too small shin guards :/ I’m only doing hockey to keep fit now, as in S3 they only have one team, and I’m not the best hockey player in the world, so I doubt I would be picked! (the next game is next Sat – should I say I can play, and get shunned, or should I not, and not feel so bad?)

This is actually a pretty long post! So I’m pretty pleased :) I still have to find out for English, what “fetch” means. And not the Mean Girls fetch, (you look so fetch!) or the fetching something (Go fetch, boy!). It was in the novel we’re reading in class, called Martin Farrell. Anyone heard of it?

I have a last minute “What I’ve been watching/reading”.

1. Twilight Parody from The Hillywood Show

2. Scientists ponder ‘zombie attack’

Ciao for now! x

Uh oh, we’re in trouble, something’s going on..

August 20, 2009 - 3 Responses

and it’s burst our bubble, yeah yeah!

Lol, felt like doing that ;)

And I’m not actually in trouble – well, sort of, but I won’t go in to TOO much detail, cos it’s kinda boring, LOL.

Anyways, school started yesterday – BOOOOOOOO. But at least I got to see all my friends, as I only saw a couple of them a few times, as I am socially inept. Well, just like resting, and going on the computer ^_^

I read 5, or maybe 6 books on holiday (in 6 days ;) ) which I thought was pretty good, and it goes against my 101 in 1001 too! I didn’t bring Something Wicked this way Comes, so I am still kinda… 20 pages in. BUT – the books I won from Sara arrived whilst I was away! Woop! So I have been readin Hunted, which is thoroughly good!

So as I said, posts will be restricted to weekends more or less, like today, I can post shorter ones before my crap curfew of 9.30pm (even at weekends :( ).

But the good news is that I think Sakura and Jessica (I think that it what I named them?) are back to normal, sort of, lol. So no friend troubles from them. :D

But it soooo cute as I am in S3 now (probably… Year 9 in England now? I don’t really know), so we’re not the babies of the school anymore, and my little sister came up into S1 (Year 7) and it’s soooo cute because they are all lost and small and different – and it makes me wonder if I was like that – which I was, but it feels so long ago XD

Yeah, nostalgia…..

Remember when….

Teletubbies was probably the most talked about programme, but only because they talked about if you watched it, you were a baby?

COPS AND ROBBERS. No need to explain…

Magazine subscriptions – Totally Tracy Beaker, that Make it Groovy…

S CLUB 7!!!

SMELLY GEL PENS!!!!!!!!!

The Kissy Kissy Game – LOLz. No need to explain… :P

And that is all I can think about. I feel so old… “Back in the old days”

OH YEAH. One of my friends said blimey was a swear word. Only if I coulda told my little 5 year old self that blimey was not the worst of it.

Harhar.

Ciao for now! x

Left my heart in Tokyo ……<3

I left my heart in Tokyo

Down by the river don’t you know

I had to let it go

Nobody know knows that

Okay, so most of you might know my Japanese addiction, right? Well, my offline friends do too, and one of them saw this song and immediately thought of me, aww. So she showed it to me, and typically, I fell in love with it xD

Here it is!

What do you think? It’s my new summer music love! (apart from Passion Pit :) )

Hey everyone!
Not posted in a week! Oh noes :o Anyway, lol. Moving on to the main topic! Well, I applied to be hosted by the faaaabulous Faith over at Pandasaur.com – and guess what?! She accepted! That means I have my own little part of the web, beanie.pandasaur.com! And now you can email me at beanie@pandasaur.com too :)

Unfortunately, I was going to put beanieOLOGY up on it, except I tried to export it, and then import it to my new wordpress, except the file is too big, so I am attempting at making a completely new and different website ^_^

And it will be called….. MAGIC BEANS! Cool huh? Well, I will keep you all informed on what is happening, and in the meantime, go check out my fabulous host, Faith!

And that is all for now – sorry for it being so short! xo

I want crusha! (awards page)

August 2, 2009 - Leave a Response

Hallo! :) I like random titles, can you tell?

Okies, well, I made an awards page today, because unlike most of blogger friends who are on blogspot, who have nifty sidebars, my theme for wordpress has the sidebar thing at the bottom, and adding awards to it there, well, it ain’t that pretty! It makes the page waaaay too long.

So, the awards page has been added! So now I don’t feel like I’m not saying thankyou for receiving awards ^_^ And it fits right on the end of the navigation, how nice!

I am getting some inspiration for another award… hehe. It needs expanding though.

I need to update my 101 in 1001 for the week, do a tag thingmy which is long overdue, add my review for the Carbon Diaries 2015 and do the cool create a debut YA novel!

In other things, I need to…

– Quill; Get some comics, ask for art.

– Get some envelopes to put in Cinnamon’s letter thingmy.

– send my remaining two postcrossing.com postcards (to china and finland)

– TDW stuff

– Pointless contest

– art stall

And that is it! :D

I leave you with my ultimate love – GOOGLE READER! It’s amazing… teamed with iGoogle, I never ever ever ever miss a blog post! I have a lot of subscriptions to absolutely everyone I love reading, and it means you never miss a thing, which I recommend!

OH – and if you are wondering who Cinnamon is? Well Cinnamon is a little bear I found in one of my boxes, and Cinnamon is travelling the world for my 101 in 1001!! I made the deadline early June 2011, so a load of people should be seeing Cinnamon :)

Ciao for now! x

July 31, 2009 - Leave a Response

Time for an update! :D

I have bought and read Carbon Diaries 2015 – I just need to write the short review that is needed ^_^ Will probably do the review tomorrow!

Also – my mum had Something wicked this way comes in the house already (how convenient!). She had to search the whole house for it though, lol. Am about 50 pages in.

Then, I am borrowing Big Woo! and Once from the library. I placed reservations on the EL library site :)

So all is going well so far! ^_^
