Thoughts on the Blog

Hey guys!

Okay, so, I know that this is getting super annoying now and super repetitive but I am saying it now with complete conviction and I am ready to commit to this: I'm going to make actual blog posts about actual things regularly.

I haven't at all recently but my brain send to have unlocked a magical section absolutely brimming with post ideas so I might actually post some quality content, at least for a time.

In other news, me and my friends have set up a joint blog that's about absolutely anything so go check that out: www.greatblogofeverything.blogspot.com

I'm going to sign off now but will hopefully be making my first, awesome, good-quality post tomorrow in the brand new year.

Happy blogging,

Effort and Determination

Hi guys!

So, I have not been very good with this blog. The posts are terrible, the schedule is terrible. It's terrible. And I want to change that. Desperately.

I want to make this blog a magical place to be, but I know that it's going to take work to get it to the kind of standard that is noticed and that I want it to be (I'm kind of a perfectionist). The whole point of starting this blog was to better my writing, and I honestly haven't been doing too much writing on here. In fact, I haven't been doing too much on here at all.

This blog is supposed to be about my life. So maybe I should actually devote some of my life to it. Hopefully the posts will be a little more interesting and regular as I spend more time trying to get it perrrfect.

The trouble is, my life is not an interesting one. I'm not part of a super rich family, I don't have a load of adventures... I'm not interesting. But I'm going to try. I'm going to try my very best to brainstorm all sorts of ideas for posts. I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this right.

I'm going to say bye now.

Happy blogging,

Guilt

Hello!

I hope you've been faring well. I have been. This post is all about that horrible feeling of guilt. I feel guilty all the time, so much, in fact, that I end up ignoring it because I know that I'm just being silly. There are some things to feel guilty about, and some things that are not to be guilty about.

I feel guilty every time I let someone down or do something wrong for someone or accidentally hurt someone. I just want to please people, and so that is my prime source for guilt. I need to learn that you don't have to do something just because people tell you to do it. You need to listen to what you want and work out what you want to do that way.

What kind of things do you feel guilty about? Are they silly, or reasonable? How are you going to help yourself stop feeling guilty?

The Little Things

Hello!

I think I'm officially back now after that loooooong hiatus. I'm not going to post every day like I've been saying. I'll probably just settle for weekly because otherwise I'll just end up falling out of it again because I'd be really overwhelmed.

As to what's happened to me whilst I was gone, I've started high school. It's fun but so much more challenging than junior school and the days are so much longer. I'm more tired after a day but it's somehow so much more satisfying.

Anyway, this post is all about the little things that make the world go round. A refreshing bike ride. The sunset on the ocean. A homemade birthday cake. The soft breaths of a sleeping loved one.

It's all of these things that make me the happiest. Tiny little things that may not matter to anyone else, but make me feel good about myself and the world. Things that perhaps nobody else notice. Things that make everything that little more beautiful.

I'm writing this post to tell you guys to notice these little things, and to maybe write them down. This exercise helps you be grateful and to just become an all round better person.

Until next time,

An Update on Where I've Been/What I've Been Up To

Hi!

Okay, I promise you that I'm back this time! I've worked out a strategy for making posts and what posts I'll make so I'll hopefully be back in track day by day!

Anyway, as this title suggests, I'm going to give a brief summary of where I am right now and what's been happening!

So, I'm not in Bristol. I'm in Zurich (Switzerland) and it's been truly amazing so far! The buildings are so beautiful and the lakes and rivers sparkle in the sun. It's very warm here, but when it rains, IT RAINS!

I've been here since Sunday afternoon, when I went for a swim in the river which was a unique experience because it gently carries you all the way down with the current which is so pretty fun, if a little nerve wracking.

On Monday, I wandered around town and had a look at all the different, lovely buildings and I also had a dip in the lake. It was great fun jumping off the pier into the water! We were supposed to go on the pedalos but it began to rain. It was really pounding down! Like, properly!

Yesterday was a super crazy day. We went hiking in the mountains (700m!) and it was breathtakingly beautiful. We were surrounded by other mountains and there was a vast sprinkling of snow on top of one of them. I was excited to get a cable car down but it turned out that it was broken! So we had to hike all the way down through the pouring rain and we only just made the bus. We met a nice American guy called Steve on the train who asked us loads of questions about our politics in England. Then we went to the food festival to found out that it was closed! We ended up just going to a pizza place.

Today we are planning on cycling to the lake and going on a pedalo. We'll also have a barbeque by the river if the weather's nice, obviously featuring some swims!

So there we go. I'm really sorry that I haven't kept up this blog recently, but I'm going to try much harder because I do enjoy writing on it and it's nice to know that people can read this. Maybe it'll one day be famous! Who knows?

I'm Back!

Hey, guys!

I have not posted for a LONG time, but I'm posting now. I'm sorry that nothing has been going up, but I'm the sort of person who thinks about how they need to do something and then doesn't do it. That's just the sort of person I am.

Nothing has really happened since I last posted. I've just finished Mockingjay today, and I cried. I, unfortunately, have nothing to read tonight because I left 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' at school which I'm really mad at myself about. *Sigh*

I have been journaling every night for a while and I really enjoy recounting my day and gluing little souvenirs into the pages. I've nearly finished the one I have, unfortunately, so I'm going to need to buy a new one soon.

I've also made an attempt to start a bullet journal which has been quite fun. There is so much inspiration all over the internet until I just had to get up and do it. I'm still warming up to the idea, but I'll get into it properly soon enough.

I also found the most amazing blog: www.bohoberry.com. I've found each and every post inspirational and really enjoy reading the beautiful words. I'll probably go and read some now!

Happy blogging,

#TomeTopple Readathon Fail

Hi, guys!

As you can guess from the title, I failed the #TomeTopple Readathon. The only book that I managed to complete was Opal Plumstead by Jacqueline Wilson which I finished in four days but I could not read fast enough as to finish Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and only finished it yesterday. I think that I pretty much gave up on the 14th because I went to London for the day on the 15th so I definitely had no time for reading that day (I'll make a post about that trip later).

This post was actually really short but I just wanted to let you know how I got on - which was obviously pretty badly - and I'm going to go now.

Happy blogging,

Hello, Again

Hi.

Sorry that I haven't posted in a million years; hopefully, there will be a whirlwind of posts today to make up for it. Nothing much has happened in my life, to be fair. My prime struggle at the moment is that I don't have a Father's Day present yet, which isn't that big of a problem so I thnk that it's safe to say that I'm content.

This blog is supposed to be a positive place, I suppose. Even though nobody reads it, I'm going to try and make it a happy environment for anybody who stumbles across it. I want people to enjoy reading this and I want to be able to lift their spirits through my words. I'm hardly talented enough for this, but I'll try.

I guess that I just wanted to say that in my Hello, Again post.

Byeee.

There's No Place Like Home

Hey guys!

For months, I've been speculating on what life will be like when I move out. In fact, it's a subject I often turn to when I'm feeling down. But will it really be all I think it will be? Or will I end up as a filthy beggar in the cold streets? Nah, my parents wouldn't let me live like that.

I've got a vague idea if what I want my house to be like. I'd love a modern apartment, with a clean kitchen and bathroom. A fairly large bedroom that can fit a couple of bookshelves in. A reading room that holds multiple bookshelves. A living room with a flashy TV and gaming system.

All of these requests are daydreams; they'd obviously never really happen. But it's nice to have them in mind, to imagine an ideal life for my older self.

My house at the moment isn't too bad, after all. My room is fairly compact, but it's cosy. It's filled with loud family members, but at least I'm not lonely. It's ideal for my life at the moment.

Comment down below what your ideal house would be, and what your house is like at the moment.

#TomeTopple Readathon??

Hey guys!

So today I heard of the #TomeTopple readathon which is taking place from midnight on June 5 to midnight on June 19. And although I don't really have any super long books I wanna get off my reading list, I quite like the sound of a readathon. I've never participated in one before, and, although it's not an official participation, I think that I'll try it!

So in this readathon, there are five challenges. The first challenge is to read more than one tome (a book that is 500+ pages) which I'm quite sure that I can accomplish. The second is to take a graphic novel break which I am unsure about because I find it difficult to get hold of graphic novels where I live, but I'll try. The third is to read a tome that is a part of a series which I am also unsure about because I don't think I own any. The fourth is to read over 500 pages in a week, and I feeling pretty confident with this, even though school looms in the backround. And the fifth and final challenge is to read an adult novel, which I will try to do but I fear that I will get bored halfway through.

Okay, so I've just had a look in my room at my shelves and have discovered that this is going to be a lot harder than I though. Two of the books I have chosen are incredibly difficult, and I'm now unsure that I will be able to complete the first challenge.

The first book that I have chosen is Opal Plumstead by Jacqueline Wilson. This book is about a girl called Opal who is fiercely intelligent and a scholarship girl. Unfortunately, her father is imprisoned and she is sent to work. She struggles to get along with other workers, but idolizes the factory owner, a proud supporter of the suffragettes. And when she meets Morgan, her son, she believes she has found her soulmate.
This is the book that I think I will be able to finish within a week, five days minimum, because it is a generally easy read.

I am, however, unsure about the graphic novel side of things. I don't know if Doctor Who Comic counts, but I don't think it does. I'll look in the library, but if it all comes to worst, the comic will have to do.

The tome that I am reading that is part of a series is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am incredibly unsure about this choice. I'm afraid that I will not be able to finish it before the end of the readathon. I'll try my best, but 636 pages of minute writing doesn't sound good.

The adult novel that I have chosen (I don't know if it has to be a tome or not, but this one isn't) is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. When I read this, it took me a while, but it's the only adult novel I own so I have no choice.

I am not sure that I will be able to do this, but ther is one thing that I am certain of: the month to come is certainly going to be full of non-stop reading.

Happy blogging,

A Day Full of Fun

Hey guys!

Okay, I know that I've already posted twice today, but my writing itch is tickling and I somehow feel that there's more to come!

Well, there is something that I don't think I have mentioned in either of my other posts... It's my sister's birthday!!

Yes, Indy is turning 9 today, so happy birthday to her! And, luckily, her special day falls during the half term, so she had her party bang on the right date! For ages, it was uncertain as to what she would do, all the way up to this morning. There were tears and uncertainty, until she finally gathered herself together and planned an amazing party (with the help of my dad).

Everybody arrived and we played an interesting game of 'Around the World'. In this game, we all got into teams (I did play too, being the big, grown-up sister I am) and were given a piece of paper with a city on it. There were pieces of A4 paper stuck up on the walls all over downstairs and we had to find the city on one of those pieces of paper which would direct us to the next city. The first person to go to all the cities and back wins. Our team came second.

The we had a magnificent lunch of pizza, chicken, hot dogs, popcorn, nachos and carrot sticks with dip. I hooked my tablet up with the radio and played some songs off of YouTube. It was all very fun and delicious.

After lunch, we played 'Pass the Parcel' and I was in charge of the music. In the end, Isabella won the bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk which I am thankful for because she, being 5, would have cried otherwise.

After 'Pass the Parcel', we played the 'Drama Game'. In this game, we split into three teams and each team got given a bag of four household objects. Then we got sent into different rooms and made up a play using each object. Indy's team won, of course.

Then it was 'Musical Statues' time and I was in charge of the music once again. We also played 'Musical Bumps' and I enjoyed judging that.

Soon enough, it was time for everyone to be picked up and so everyone went out on the trampoline to wait for their parents. They each got a party bag containing a slice of cake, a bouncy ball, a lollipop and a little plastic toilet containing farting putty. They all had fun with this!

Almost everyone has gone home and the three older members of the house (yep, I totally counted myself) can finally have some peace and quiet. I feel happy that Indy's party was a success, even though she can drive me mad sometimes. She's my sister.

I'm probably going to write a post straight after this if I have any ideas. The laptop is really satidfying to write on; I should use it more often!

Happy blogging,

Reading Wrap Up ~ May 2016

Hey guys!

So, in my other post that I made today, I have mentioned that I have got into reading again. Through this, I have also got into Booktube. On Booktube, they frequently do 'reading wrap ups' to talk about all of the books they've read that month. I thought that this was quite a good idea to replicate, so I kept a record of all the books that I read in May and now I shall talk about them.

Let's get on.

Girl Online On Tour ~ Zoe Sugg

This book was... Alright. I'd read it before this particular time, but it hadn't got any better. It definitely wasn't as good as it's predecessor, though compelling. 4/5 stars.

The Princess Diaries ~ Zoe Sugg

This was quite a babyish choice, but I saw it on the floor of my sister's room and picked it up. I wasn't impressed  though. 3/5 stars.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane ~ Neil Gaiman

Now this was a good book! I was captivated from the very first page, the words running through my veins, the story playing out in front of me. I could see the scenes, I could feel the emotions. This guy is a genius and I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. 10/5 stars.

Kiss ~ Jacqueline Wilson

I was given this book by one of my friends along with a large bag of books she'd grown out of. Unfortunately, I was unimpressed. This was not one of the best of this magnificent writer's books. The characters tended to twist and change and the story confused me. I did not enjoy this book. 2/5 stars.

The Penderwicks ~ Jeanne Birdsall

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The language was cheery and jumpy and kept you reading. It was generally a quick read but I enjoyed it all the same. 4/5 stars.

Anne of Green Gables ~ LM Montgomery

This was one of my old favourites when I was about seven so when I saw it in the school library, there was no hesitation in borrowing it. I enjoyed it just as much as when I first read it and reccomend it greatly for those that haven't read it. 4/5 stars.

Faceless ~ Alyssa Sheinmel

This book was very, very good. It's about a girl who has a tragic accident resulting in a face transplant. She has to get to know her new self and learn to live with it. I feel like this book conveys a very important message and deserves to be read by all. 4.75/5 stars

Jacky Daydream ~ Jacqueline Wilson

I saw this in the school library and immediately picked it up. The shining tale of Jacky's childhood captivated me, but I somehow did not enjoy it as much as I have in the past. 3/5 stars.

Kindred Spirits ~ Rainbow Rowell

I did not enjoy this book. It was my first Rainbow Rowell read and I was not impressed, probably because it was so short and hardly had a story. This has not put me off her though, and I'll read some of her others but I was unimpressed with this one. 2/5 stars.

And those were all of the books that I read in May. It was a good reading month and I hope to continue that into June also.

Blog with you later!

Enjoying My Days Off

Hey guys!

I am still alive! I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in a decade, but I've just been putting it off as a chore for ages until I realised how much I enjoy blogging! A lot of things have happened in my absence. I sat my exams which seems like AGES ago and I can't believe that it was less than a month ago. I almost broke my finger but didn't. On Saturday, I went to a Guide event and got muddy. On Sunday, I went to Brean Theme Park which was amazing! On Monday, I hung out at the City Centre and saw Gary Barlow (I'm not kidding, look it up) and yesterday I had a lovely day ending with a meal out at Wagamammas!

So, half term has started and it's the last half term that I'm having at this school (it feels so weird to say that but it's true). I have a week off of school and I'm incredibly happy about that because I love having free time filled with amazing things. I feel like I've spent the beginning of this holiday quite well and am trying my best not to let myself have a chill day because I just end up feeling gulty about it. I really want to spend my life well which means every day.


I've really got back into reading recently and I'm very thankful for it because it's a feeling that I've missed quite a lot and now it's back. I want to thank Waterstones for this because I went into their shop on Monday and just felt my old connection with books resurface. Booktube has also helped me get back into reading because of the inspiration and just... Books. Also, I want to praise Foyles for their flawless YA shelves!

I think that I might post quite a lot today so that I can make up for all the time that I've missed. I'm really happy that I've finally written this post and I'm really happy with it.

Blog with you later!

Is This an Interesting Post?

Hi, guys!

Today I'm sort of stressing because it's the deadline of a writing competition that I was supposed to enter and I had a month to write it but I kept putting it off and now I'm sort of panicking. I've sort of decided that I'm going to work really hard on it today, and if it's not finished and edited by the end of the day, I'm not going to send it in. I'm just going to have to wait until another writing competition comes along.

Anyways, today I'm going to try and make an interesting post because my friend said the other day that this blog is boring. I was not sad, but I was disappointed in my inability to write good posts. The one problem is the 'nothing to write about' problem.

Next week is a full week of exams (except Friday) and we are all sooo nervous. Our teachers have been throwing us practice tests and long crammed lessons left, right and centre which only stresses us out more. The one good thing is that we have no homework - yay!

Is this post interesting enough now?

I think that I had better go and do some writing for that competition. Even if I don't win, I know that Jacqueline Wilson never won any writing competitions and look at her now. I'll be fine!

All the hugs and squeezes,
Bubblegum xx

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Hi, guys!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I literally just haven't been bothered to get out the laptop and my Blogger app has been glitching like mad so... Yeah.

I'm just sitting here at the desk watching Zoella and typing my blog. The thing is, I never know what to write about. I wish that I could take some good-quality photos and show them on my blog but I don't have a digital camera. :(

I've really been inspired by Penny's blog in Girl Online by Zoe Sugg, but I can't really write a blog like hers because she has a camera and possibly an interesting life. If I had a digital camera and an interesting life then this blog would be waaaay better.

As you may have noticed, this is not a favourites post. I sort of scrapped that because it was a little late in the month for it. I will hopefully do one for April though.

I'm going to Girl Guides later but I'm sort of not looking forward to it because it's cooking and I CANNOT cook. Just trust me. Toast is pretty much my limit. That and the microwave.

I think that I'm going to go now, but I will work on doing and posting other things soon. Probably in May. Perhaps the next post will be a favourites post. Who knows? I certainly don't.

Byeeee!

A Quick Blogging Update

Hi, guys!

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while. I've actually missed three scheduled blog posts. Today isn't even scheduled. I'm just tryng to make up for it.

I'm back at school now. Yesterday was the first day back and it really wasn't all that bad. I'm sad that I don't have a brand new free day every day anymore, though.

I'm currently working on a new blog post for Saturday. It's a March Favourites post and is actually inspired by Zoella. She does a monthly favourites video and I thought that it looked really cool and so I might start that on my blog. I've been making loads of notes on things and gathering them together a lot, so hopefully it will be ready by Saturday.

I hope that you guys are feeling good about yourselves and are currently loving life, even if you do have to go to school!

THE EXAMS

Hi, guys!

Today was an amazing day. I went to the cinema and saw Zootropolis (I had to bite down hard on my lip to stop myself from laughing) and I also managed to do a page and a half of homework. Go me!

I realised today how close it is to when school starts (Monday!) and began to panic. I literally have not seen any of my friends yet, nor have I done something truly exciting. The only thing that I've got out of it is one of the best days of my life - Good Friday, if you didn't know.

I really don't want the holidays to end. I love the feeling of waking up in the morning knowing that you can do anything today. It makes me feel good about myself and my life. After this week, I'm not going to be feeling like that for a while...

Especially as this term is the term. This is the one that everyone has been waiting for.

The Exams. 

I'm absolutely terrified, to tell the truth. Every time I think about homework, a wave of pain washes over me. I've even cried. These are not just your average tests, and I'm sure that there is not one person in this world who loves tests. I mean, yeah, there are people who don't mind them, but not people who love them. That would be crazy.

Okay, I'm going to go now. Enjoy life!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiya

Hi guys!

I wanna do ssomething worth blogging about today but that will never happen. I'm just bored, so I opened a new tab and logged onto Blogger. Trouble is, I have absolutely nothing to write about at all. I really want to do a Q&A but nobody has asked me any questions. Obviously.

I'm just watching some of Zoella's vlogs and envying her of her amazing life. I wish that when I'm old enough to move out, I'll be able to just hang around and do whatever I like every day. Of course, that isn't going to happen. I'll need to get a job. Then that job will probably consume my life until there's nothing else.

I wish a lot of things. I wish things would be perfect. I wish things would go wrong. I wish to have a calm life. I wish to live an adventure. I wish 'd get good grades. I wish I'd get good friends. I wish I knew who on earth I was.

Ugh, why do all my posts turn so deep? Probably because I have nothing else to write about. Ugh.

Anyway, I really need to enter a creative writing competition but I'm stuck. I know that I'm good at writing (all the teachers say so) but I just cannot ever get any ideas. Ever. I can describe things, I can begin the story. I cannot, however, come up with a plot. It would be great if any readers could suggest a plot idea?

Okay then, back to envying famous YouTubers of their amazing lives. UGHHHHHHHHH

A Lovely Little Chat...

Hey, guys!


So, I'm at home in my pyjamas (despite it being 2:41pm) at the laptop aching to write a new blog post. That's the trouble with me. I'm always wanting to write a dazzling new post with absolutely no clue what to write about. I doubt anyone would want to read someone rambling about having no idea what to ramble about, so I guess that this blog is for my eyes only. *Sigh.*



I've recently been thinking about why I should bother dreaming about being internet famous and having millions of YouTube subscribers and thousands of people reading the words that I've written on this old run-down laptop when it's never going to happen. Nobody reads my blog, or they'd comment to reassure me that they're there.

I wish that I could be something in this world. It's so frustrating, knowing that I can't do anything against all the bad people, all the worldwide problems, all the hate and awfulness in this horrible world. I'm just a little kid typing meaningless words on an old computer that'll probably freeze any second. I want to live a life. I want to live a meaningful life. If only I could choose to...

I'm so young that I have hardly any control over this rollercoaster. It's all up to the grown ups. They're the ones who choose which school I go to, which foods I eat, which items I have, which activities I do. If my mum is unhappy with it, I feel bad about doing it. So I stop doing it.

I know that if I carry on living like this, I'll never have a life. I truly do want one, but how will I get one if I can't even make my own decisions? I need to build up my confidence and independence. I need to work harder on becoming me.

From now on (well, at least throughout the rest of 2016) I'm going to try to develop my own character and fix some of my minor flaws. I need to stop crying over spilt milk. I'm the sort of person who would blub about my sisters blanking me, or if I did something wrong that I regret. I need to think more positive. My mind is always set to negative mode. I need to learn to flip the switch and think positive. I need to be the best version of myself.

You may be seeing a lot more of these random chats, but perhaps that's a good thing. Perhaps people like reading these. How should I know? I'm just a useless kid.

Just a Quick Life Update...

Hey, guys!

Today is Maundy Thursday and I'm having a pretty good time. My sisters have ditched me for a pair of cats and I'm feeling like life sucks, but hey. Sometimes there's nothing you can do.

Last night, my sisters and I were delivered to my grandparents' house. We are remaining here until Easter Sunday. Our parents are arriving this evening with my Auntie Vicky who normally lives in Switzerland (we hardly get to see her). I think that she's bringing her boyfriend.

So, today I've been clearing out my aunt's room and making a cake for my dad (happy birthday dad!) but I've finally got some time to just sit and write my blog. Aaahh...

My sisters are just annoying me on purpose now. Ugh.. Do any of you guys have sisters? Are they as annoying as mine?

Anyways, until next time...

Looong Day...

Hey, guys!

So, I just got back home from a long day shopping at the Bristol City Centre for books. It turns out that I had a whole load of book vouchers from who knows when so I decided to go and spend them before their time expires. I was really scared that they were all expired, but it turns out that they were all ok in the end.

We went up to town (it took sooooo long because of roadworks) and went to Greggs for some lunch. I got a bacon and cheese wrap because they are super delicious!! Then we went down to Waterstones (my absolute favourite shop) and had a little browse. In the end, I bought the last two Hunger Games and Wuthering Heights.

I love books. <3

Then we met my mum to pick her up from work and I bought Doctor Who Comic. We went home, but then I went straght back out to Morrisons on my bike to buy some cake ingredients. Yay.

And now I'm sitting at the laptop typing this post up. :)

A Very Random Ramble

Hey, guys!

I'm just blogging on a Saturday morning like a normal person. Heh.

I actually have no idea what I should be blogging about. Like, my life is boring. There is never anything to write about, so I have to get information from other blogs and I feel bad about it.

Today is a Saturday. Whch means no school. Which means no stress. Which means fun. Yay!

I'm thinking of doing a thing where I make a draft of a post, save it and then go back to it later when something interesting has happened. Is that a good idea? I don't even know.

The Easter Holidays are literally in 4 days, so I'm really excited to be able to just lay back and do whatever I like for a couple of weeks. It will be super fun and I'm sure that I'll enjoy it very, very much. Wouldn't everyone?

Also, I'm super excited for EASTER because I get to meet up with my english family and we can do multiple Easter activities together. And, of course, eat loads of chocolate. :)

Are we the only family that does Rolling Eggs? Basically, we roll our chocolate eggs against each other and when they break, we eat them. There are many rounds, and the last egg still whole is the ultimate winner. I won once. When I was 7.

So this was a very random post and I'll probably post another later. But I'll see you guys later. Byeee.

Pets, pets, pets!!

Hey, guys!

Today I thought that I'd do a much more fun sort of post... If you could have any pet, no matter what species, number or danger, what would it be?

Right, that is really hard. Hmmmmmm... There are so many animals out there that I would really like... How on earth am I supposed to choose one?

Well. I'd really like a tiger. Or a snow leopard. Or some sort of big cat. I dunno. Something like that.

An alligator? Or crocodile? Or, um, an animal? OK, why am I writing this right now when I haven't even planned anything? OK, I will do some thinking. Be back in a sec!

Ok, I've done some thinking and decided on a baby snow leoperd because that would just be SO CUTE and I'd play with it every day and love it and be awesome with it because it would be AWESOME to have a snow leopard.

I actually wanna adopt one now. Oh, dear.

So, what sort of pet would you guys love? Is it considered 'normal' or a little bit crazy? Please tell me in the comments below!

Hazel the Photographer??

Hey, guys!

OK, so, I was thinking about taking up photography because I got a camera for my birthday but I have no idea whether it's be good at it or not. It's a Polaroid camera, so it's not like I'd be able to take a million pics a day, anyways. But I've been seeing some AMAZING photo ops recently and I really, really want to get into photography.

What do you guys think? If you think anything at all? I haven't even switched the camera on yet! I'm thinking of seeing it up today though. Is that a good idea? I'm just not sure...

Bye, guys!

Hello, everyone!

Hello, guys!

It's Bubblegum Pink, a perfectly normal girl who just happens to have started a pretty boring blog. Hello!

Last night I finished reading Girl Online for the first time (you know, that bestselling book by Zoella that everyone's read?) and it made me realise that I shouldn't intensely plan my posts. It's great to have a faint outline, of course, but I should really just write whatever's on my mind.

On this blog, I'm going to be myself. I'm going to live, laugh and love, cry, have tantrums and ramble. This is going to be my place. And, maybe, if by some miracle people actually read this, it can be your place too. We can discuss our struggles, give advice, talk about our many ups and few downs.

I just want to say that, wherever you are, whatever you need, I will be here for you. Even though we'll probably never meet... We can be friends.

I'll see you guys done other times,
Bubblegum x

Live Your Beautiful Life

Hey guys! It's Bubblegum Pink, aka Hazel, and this is supposed to be a really inspirational, encouraging post. This post is for all of you who don't feel like it's worth it. And trust me, I've felt like that before and it's okay. It's normal. It happens to everyone.

So I just wanna tell you guys that you need to get up. Brush yourself down and show your attacker that you don't care. Continue life. Leave things behind. Bring things with you. Make memories. Do what you want to do. Be free.

It's always hard to remember this advice, but when I'm upset, I always visualise what I'll be like when I'm older. When I'm free.

I'm sorry that this was a really short post, but time is pretty tight and there's YouTube to watch!
Bye guys!

Hey guys, Bubblegum Pink here (aka Hazel) and today I... Have no idea what to write about.

I've been trying to think of ideas for blog posts all week but failed mostly because my life is the most boring in the world. Hopefully I'll think of a good post soon. But for now I'm just gonna be random.

��������↩��������������������������

Those are all my recent emojis. Told you it's gonna be random.

Lovely emojis.

OK, let's talk now.  :)

I guess this is sort of an opportunity to get to know me a little. I'm awesome, amazing, cool, a boss, a Whovian and most importantly: A potato.

So. Now you've got to know me a bit, onto business. I have homework to do that I'm seriously not in the mid for and my dad is pressing me into it and I don't know what to dooooooo. HALP.

What now what now what now. Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. I think I'll probably have to sign off. :(    I promise I'll try my hardest to actually being done posts with meaning in the future.

But until then, this is Bubblegum Pink signing off.

Hellooooooooooooooo!

Wassup guys, it's the awesome Bubblegum Pink! Hello!

Some of you may have noticed that I've deleted every post on this blog except one, and that last one has been edited. This is because I was an idiot and was horrible at keeping the blog. I'll try and be a bit better now, yeah? Yeah.

So, hi, I'm Bubblegum Pink (aka the awesome Hazel) and this is my blog! I'm a young girl trying my hardest to blossom in this bleak, cruel world of darkness. My hope is that one day I will be a person that can bring light to the darkest corners of the Universe, whether it's in writing, it's broadcasted, it's passed on or in person!

So, on this blog will be a collection of random posts illustrating my journey to becoming what most people will call... Me. I'll share ideas, tips, feelings, opinions and my life so that I can know that I'm not alone in what I do.

I'll aim to post at least once a week but if I start to get into this and enjoy it more, I'll post more frequently and hopefully reach once a day. I doubt this though so don't get your beautiful little hopes up.

Right now I'm just chilling watching Harry Potter. My dad's getting lunch from Gregg's (high five if you live for their delicious lunches!) I'm seriously looking forward to when he gets back. I'm hungry!

So I guess that this is the Bubblegum Pink signing off!
