Well today I had my latest piece of coursework marked for English and it's another 'A'! This makes it 3/3! YAY! I was told it is my best piece of English coursework yet! I just hope the 'A's continue.

Well, today I've not been very well at all, though I was okay for school. I've finished 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes' by Cassandra Clare, so I'm just waiting for the last book (#3). It's out later this month. The series a bit strange and disturbing, but surprisingly good. I really like it! So here are the books I've read recently, plus what I'm going to read now:





I shall be reading this series after I've read 'The Mortal Instruments: City Of Glass' by Cassandra Clare:



I am desperate to read these two books! I started 'Hippo In The Garden', but I have to find it and my mother is currently reading 'The Shack'.





Well, I'm so tired, so I shall just read a bit of Twilight before I get some sleep. This will be the third time I am reading the Twilight books, and, yes, I shall be reading them all. You see, I'm waiting for the last book of the 'Mortal Instruments' series 'City Of Glass', which come out at the end of the month, so I have seized the opportunity to read the Twilight books again! Well, that's about it for now. Night night!

Hey everyone! I have not been very well today, but oh well! I have used to 'bases' to shade in myself, purely to see if I could do it and because I find graphic art great fun thing to do. So here are the two that I have done and I'm very proud of them.




Comic Relief is tomorrow! Which I'm really looking forward to! It's also non-school uniform tomorrow, so I shall be wearing my Comic elief T-Shirt. I can't wait to tomorrow evening when we can see if we can raise record ammounts of money for people who really need it.

Hi people! Well, not much happened today. Just school, in which I turned out another fantastic piece of English work, then went for a walk around the area after school, and have just been reading 'The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones' by Cassandra Clare. For my Media GCSE work I've got to come up with an idea for a feature-length film and write the summary, do the character profiles, draw the characters and create a story board. I am enjoying it immensely! I love Media just as much as I love English, probably because Media has a lot in common with English as in the writing and the creative ideas? English is my strongest subject though.

Online I like to play horse sim games, so come and try them out if you like horses! They're great! Some are time consuming, some aren't. They are all free for basic play, but if you want more from them you can upgrade. Some only let you have very restricted play unless you upgrade. There are lots to chose from, but here's my favourite: Howrse. It's not very time consuming, uses genetic, and you can do lots on it! You can breed, show and train your horses and so much more! The better you want to be, the more general equestrian knowledge you need to know to pass the Rider Levels.

Here are some others:
Horseland - Good for young children, can be time consuming if you want the best horses.
Equination - Brilliant for Thoroughbred/Racing enthusiasts, not time consuming.
Equine Land - Sister site to Equination. Very similar, but has a variety of breeds rather than just one.
Equintium - Very good game. Can create your horses page and picture. Can be very time consuming.
Equine Ranch - Fantastic genetics and showing game. Not too time consuming.
Capalls - I haven't tried out this game, but it looks good! I shall try it out soon though!
One Stride - Good little game. Not too time consuming.
Horse Isle - Fantastic virtual horse game! It's not time consuming, but can be addictive.
My Stable - Brilliant game! Breeding, showing, training, etc. Not too time consuming.
Virtual Horse Ranch - Is quite complex, but very good. Not time consuming, you can come and go as often or as little as you wan.
Virtual Horse Ranch II - Excellent 3D virtual horse game. Can play as often or little as you like.
A Virtual Horse - Very good game, but very time consuming.
Digi Turf - Very good 3D virtual horse racing game, but free play is extremely limited.
Hunt and Jump Inc - Fantastic game! Lots of genetics that you have to learn though, can be complex. Not too time consuming.
Stock Horse Corp - Sister site to HAJINC (Hunt & Jump Inc) basicley the same, but with western breeds. Not too time consuming.
Pony Box - Fantastic game! I recently tried it out and love it! It can be a bit difficult to find out where things are and to get help, but you soon get it. Not time consuming.
SIM Horse Racing - I haven't tried this one, but it looks fantastic. It's for horse lovers and racing fans.
Pony Island - The most fantastic game for horses! One of the best online! Free for first 20 days, then you have to upgrade. Not too time consuming.

WOW! That's quite a list there. I shall be trying out the games I haven't tested and shall report on how I find them. If you know of any others like these, give me a message and I'll check them out! So it's 1am here and I am wiped out, so time for some sleep I think!

Here is a video that some of my friends did. It is about how incredible the Lord is, that he sticks with you no matter what. He is always there for you, even if you are distracted or have turned away from Him. He is there fighting for you and protecting you. It is most incredibly moving!

The Lord has done some of the most incredible things for myself, my family and my friends. There are no words great enough to describe our God. One of my favourite songs is 'Everlasting God' by Lincoln Brewster. It has lyrics from this passage in the Bible. This is one of my favourite pieces from the Bible and at the end of the song, a little girl reads it out. It is incredibly moving!

The Lord is the everlasting God,
The creator of all the Earth,
He never grows weak or weary,
No one can measure the depths of His understanding,
He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless,
Even youth will become weak and tired,
And young men will fall in exhaustion,
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength,
They will soar high on wings like eagles,
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not faint.

Well, as I have mentioned, I adore reading! So... lately I went with my friends to see 'Twilight' at the cinemas. I actually had never heard of it before and I had no idea it was based on a book until my friends were talking about it afterwards. SHOCK! I know! Anyway, as soon as we came out of the cinema I was like "I SO HAVE TO READ THE BOOK!" so we went across to Borders and a few days later I went and bought them. I started reading 'Twilight' on a long train journey and couldn't put it down. As soon as I woke up I read, as soon as I came home from school; I read. I finished 'Twilight' quickly and absolutely LOVED it!!! I moved straight on to 'New Moon'. It became a bit depressing when Edward changed after Bella's disastrous birthday party, but it was still fantastic! I then went straight on to 'Eclipse' and Jacob began getting on my nerves, and continued straight to 'Breaking Dawn'. Book 1 was fantastic, In Book 2 things were getting rather weird but very good, in Book 3 was fantastic but Jacob was really getting on my nerves. I finished the series in just under 2 weeks. I learnt everything I could about the Twilight saga, searched all over the internet about it, learnt about Stephanie Meyer etc. So what did I do as soon as finished 'Breaking Dawn'? Why, I picked 'Twilight' up again! I read the books through for a second time! As soon as I finished it again, I was dying to pick Twilight up yet again!!! Though Mum said that I should try to pick up the 2 new books I'd bought to read after Twilight. I have NEVER been able to read a book through that I read less than 3 years before, no matter how I loved it! So I am so shocked that I can read and read and read Twilight over and over again and not think "I'll pick it up again in about 4 years once I've forgotten some of the stories". Now I am reading 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' by Cassandra Clare and though I am really enjoying it, I can't keep Twilight out of my head and am going to read the Twilight series though again before I go on to the second book of in the 'The Mortal Instruments' and then I'll probably read Twilight AGAIN! Call me crazy or/and obsessed, but I adore the Twilight series!

I have been writing more poetry and songs and have found some of my old songs and poems from 2007. My English teacher loves my work and so do my friends, which is wonderful! So, that's all the news there is at the moment really.

Hello everyone. Well, this is the first post in my journal. I don't really know what to write so I'll just write a bit about me. Well, I am a Christian (WOOOOOO!). I love going to Soul Survivor, but I don't know if I can go this year!!! I'm praying I can though. I have amazing stories and memories of God doing the most incredible things around me for as long as I can remember, thanks to my Dad's and friends' prayers and help! I really could go of forever talking about the Lord! I love animals, especially horses; they are the most wonderful creatures. I love to write poetry and prose, so I might post some on here sometime. I hate gossipers; they can ruin people's lives and it's not nice! Trust me, I know. I am easy to get along with and am a very chilled out person who loves to make people laugh by being a bit crazy sometimes (it's quite funny really! -especially once I'll had a Red Bull O.o lol). I love to go out with my friends, we have a great time. When I don't have a mad half an hour, I'm just a down-to-earth, average girl who loves her rock music; I often get called a rock chick by my family and friends. I am from the UK, I am over 1/2 Welsh, part English and part Scottish and, well... what else can I say. There's so much more, but I am a little tired so I shall leave it there. It's lovely to be on Live Journal,
