I've finally got around to editing and uploading some photographs I took last summer. I enjoy photography it's something good you can do so you don't have to revise for important exams that are in less than a month. I know I should really start doing some revision but I just can't find the motivation.
Anyway here are some photos I took yesterday, I haven't uploaded them yet to flickr. So if you want to see some more of my amazing amateur photography go here!

Cleo And Mabel

I've just finished reading a book called Cleo, which I got for Christmas. It's really emotional.

I lost a kitten, Mabel, when she was 8 weeks old. It reminded me of how I felt when I lost her because she was like my own baby. The way Cleo the kitten is described in the book is basically how my Mabel looked. Apart from she was black and white.
Mabel had been found abandoned at 3 weeks. The night before she had been found there had been a thunderstorm. She was so lucky to survive.

We have a new kitten now, named Oscar. And I adore him just as much. I had to use him as a tissue when I was reading this book. I don't think my older cat, Smokey (9 years old), was too impressed.

It's a brilliant read and I really recommend it.

I'll leave you with a photos of my baby.

Love,
Beth

Fast Cars

Woh, it's been a month since I last posted. Never mind.

For my Dads 50th birthday my brother, my Mum, and me brought my Dad a Ferrari Experience day.
I got to practice some photography skills with moving cars and sit in a Ferrari! It was a great day and I brought a top too. He he.

My Dad, all excited!

A Letter Sent To Heaven

Dear Mabel,

I hope you are well and are eating lots of yummy chicken and tuna with God. Joey has just joined you and I trust you have shown him around. Knowing you, you'll be having lots of fun playing with Bud, Bomber, Joey, Toffee, Fudge, Bubbles, and all the other animals up there.

I miss you every day and I wish you were still here. It was cruel what happened and you were way too young. When you died I was angry with God, he's supposed to be all knowing, all loving, all powerful yet he didn't stop you from leaving me.

I can't wait to see you again. But not just yet, I want to get married, have children, save and look after as many animals as possible, before I join you. But when I do, I'll be happy because I'll be able to see you again.
Oscar says meow and would of loved to get to know you and play with you. I think Smokey misses you too. He was there when you died and I think he knew, he looked like he was crying.

I love you and I miss you,
Beth

An Excuse...

For the past 3 days I've had my a-level exams. I wanted to focus on them so I got the best results possible, which is why I haven't been posting on here for a few days. All that revising!

I got distracted last night because one of my friends sent me a text. A very strange text. Lets call her Apple. Apple said and I quote:

Just thought I would let you know that I am bi xx

PS Don't tell people please :) and I know you wont :p

So how do you reply to a text like that?! I just said, I wont tell anyone and I'm here if her ever wants to talk.
I go on facebook and all my friends are talking about the text they all got from Apple. I mean she asked us not to tell anyone so none of us should be talking about it. And the people that didn't reply kept getting the same text until they replied.
It was a bit of a shock I must admit, she's been out with that many guys.

Oh well I've finished all my exams but we've instantly started on the next topics. No rest!

Better go,
Beth

Day 11: A Photo Of An Animal You’d Love To Keep As A Pet

I've always wanted a dog. A few years ago when I when skiing on holiday, we went on a husky sleigh ride kind of thing. I fell in love with the dogs that pulled me. My brother took a too sharp turn and fell off this bridge (a wooden plank) and fell onto the frozen river. It was hilarious!

I defiantly would have one or two when I've settled down in a house of my own. But I'll have to have cats as well!

A lovely ginger one.

A cute black and white one.

Day 10: Songs You Listen To When You Are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

I don't really listen to music that often. At the moment I don't have any music on my mp3 player because I've got  the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows audio book on it. He he, I'm so cool!

Love

Happy: Star Girl - McFly.
Sad: Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt.
Bored: My schools, jazz and soul band cd.
Hyped: -
Mad: -

Day 9: Something You're Proud Of In The Past Few Days

Well I haven't really done anything in the past few days...

ACTUALLY, I HAVE!

It's just I've been on Christmas holiday so it feels like I haven't done anything.

My friend inspired me when I went round to hers for New Years and her room was really nicely decorated and really tidy. So anyway, I think the reason why my room is always so messy is because my parents are always like, "keep it it may come in useful some day" and stuff like that. We have a loft and a back bedroom which load of junk is kept. My friend doesn't have a loft and she just throws away anything she doesn't need or want. Ok, it may also be down to me just not putting stuff away but I have no room to put it away.
So I have cleared half my room of junk and got rid of the books I've read and wont read again. My Dad had to buy another shelf because I've got 3 piles of books under my computer desk, so all of them will be appearing on my empty bookshelves!

My cleared make up desk.

My empty bookshelf. =(

The pile of junk.

I'm really quite proud of myself. Now I've got the other half to do and then get rid of the junk pile. So exciting!

I also created a GIANT mind map for my revision. It took me ages!

GIANT mind map for one topic in psychology.

Day 8: Short Term Goals For This Month And Why

The main one is to sort out the summer holiday that my friends and I are planning. We've been planning it since September 2010 and we can never get together to have a meeting about it. Someone is always busy. I must admit I'm probably the busiest one but I can't miss something without have to pay for it. Whenever I'm free someone else isn't!

The second one, which is actually more important, is trying my hardest in the exams next week and achieving a good mark. Because, what I want to do and where I want to go in the future is decided by the results of these exams.

I defiantly need to get more sleep and go bed earlier. Over the Christmas holidays, I've been going bed late and getting up at 11/12. I need to get back to my regular sleeping pattern or whatever you call it.

Night,
Beth

Day 7: A Picture Of Someone/Something That Has The Biggest Impact On You

I'm going to choose two things, just because I can. Ha ha.

My family. They decide whether or not I can do stuff and they can change just about anything. I can normally talk to my parents about anything and they'll always try and help me and give me the best answer possible. They try really hard, and I admire them for it. We're not exactly well off in terms off money, but it doesn't get us down. If we can't afford it, then we save or we do it at home. It's great. When I come home from a bad day at school, or my parents come home from a bad day at work then we cheer each other up. Turn things into something funny. It's a shame because I don't think I have a picture of all of us together. Something I can put on my to do list!

Friends. I wrote a big long blog about them a few days ago with photos so I wont do another one. They are normally behind my bad days, and can be  really annoying and stupid. However, I can have a good time with them and they can be quite helpful.

Day 6: Your Favourite Superhero And Why

Ok, so, the only superheros I know of are Spiderman and Batman because of the films. So instead I'll tell you about my real life superhero.

My cat, Smokey, and my brother, Ben.

My cat! Smokey.
He is honestly the best. When things are hard he'll just lay with me and listen. Garh, soppy, I know. He's such a good tissue too!
Also my best friend, Sarah. She's always happy and whenever I'm sad she can instantly make me happy again!

Love,
Beth

Day 5: A Picture Of Somewhere You've Been To

I've been to lots of places. The one most freshest in my mind and definitely one of the best is China.

Me on the Great Wall of China

It was a brilliant trip and I got to play my flute there too. On the day we arrived it was the hottest day for 10 years there. It was over 40C!

My other favourites are skiing holidays, Italy, France and Slovenia. Most of the pictures of them are just snow!

Day 4: A Habit That You Wish You Didn’t Have

There's lots of things that I would wish I wouldn't do (and do!).

I wish I wouldn't pick things like scabs and spots.
I wish I could get into a habit of keeping my room tidy.
I wish I could get into the habit of practising my flute and guitar.
I wish I could get into the habit of doing my homework the day I get it.

I also wish I could get into bed and asleep at a reasonable time,
Night,
Beth
