So people in publishing and writing have been writing about book covers on their blogs lately, so on KT Literary this little competition is going on.

CREATE YOUR DEBUT YA COVER
1 - Go to Fake Name Generator. The name that appears is your author name.

2 - Go to Random Word Generator. The word listed under “Random Verb” is your title.

3 - Go to FlickrCC. Type your title into the search box. The first photo that contains a person is your cover.

4 - Use Photoshop, Picnik, or similar (I use Snagit Editor) to put it all together. Be sure to crop and/or zoom in, as desired.

5 - Post it to your site along with this text.

I figure I'm a design student. I'm thinking of book covers as something I might want to do in the future so I had a go, here's my cover.



I had fun doing it, I haven't really used photoshop outside of uni much lately so it was nice to just have a play around again. I might end up making another one or two later.

ETA: I was bored so I made another one with a new random word for the title

It has been a silly amount of time since I've posted here... uh... sorry?

So last Friday I was in the city with a couple of friends and we went to JB Hi-Fi, where there was a sale. My little capitalist, obsessive self wanted to buy every single DVD of every show and movie I've ever seen and loved, but my walled disagreed. I really wish I wasn't so broke, I want to own all of Buffy.

I did give in to my needy heart and bought season 1 of True Blood because it was on sale and I'd just watched the first three episodes of season 2, which are amazing.

So for the past few days I've been re-watching the entire first season, I finished last night.

I. Love. Lafayette!

And now I'm thinking in a Southern accent, which is weird because usually when I think in a foreign accent it's British... so this is a different experience for me, and not one I entirely object to, this accent is fun!

I finished Buffy a couple of weeks ago... and I cried. And I loved it. And I wish it didn't have to finish. And I WANT TO WATCH IT ALL AGAIN D:

I love Buffy too much.


In unrelated news I can't wait to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I finished re-reading the book a few days ago and it's just rekindled my complete love for this series. I hadn't read HBP since it first came out and I'd forgotten how amazing it is... I was too busy adoring Deathly Hallows (which I'm half way through now).

Anyway, I'm going down to the beach this Friday with some friends and we're getting back on Wednesday next week, when HBP comes out.

I really want to go see it the moment we get back home. I don't even want to bother going home, I just want to go straight to the cinema and see it.

Yes, I know it's not going to be as amazing as the book, I know there are going to be things wrong with it... but I've been watching trailers and interviews and clips and I want to see it RIGHT NOW!

I'm too impatient for life.


I also can't wait to go to the beach. I'll be staying at my friend's beach house. We did this last year after we finished high school and it was so much fun then. This time is going to be even more awesome.


We're crazy people. One of my friends had a video camera in his car when we went to the city last week so we filmed our trip back to his house and he edited in music (the Star Wars Theme) and other such things. It was ridiculous, and hilarious... and my inane comments were just silly. It was like I just popped in to say something incredibly silly every so often.

Also yesterday we went to McDonalds and got Frozen Cokes (i.e. Frokes).
So that was fun.


AND HOW AMAZING WAS TORCHWOOD
THE REST OF CHILDREN OF EARTH IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE

I THINK MY BRAIN MIGHT EXPLODE OR SOMETHING




Wow, that was rambly.

SO I AM A LITTLE BIT OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS DOCTOR WHO OKAY

Yeah I started re-watching certain favorite episodes of Doctor Who a couple of weeks ago... and that let to re-watching the last two episodes of series 1, and then the whole of series 1 with a few episodes from series 2 dotted in between.

And now Torchwood and on to The Sarah Jane Adventures next!

Maybe I am a little in love with the sci-fi and the characters and the accents (and Rose, Jack and The Doctor... OT3?)

I cannot help it, everything is just so perfect and pretty and wonderful!
I'll go back to Torchwood and leave you alone now.

There are TOO MANY LAYOUTS.

Far too many awesome codes... the number of layout posts in my memories is far too large. It is SILLY.

And I feel strangely lacking in beautiful icons after looking at a few people's icons. I need more pretty, simple icons. I need to be better at icons. I need more icon space, but alas, I am poor so none for me.

I am boring. Clearly I am too boring for you.

I spend my days going to university and learning things... and watching tv. Far too much tv. Well not so much tv as catching up on Lost and watching Sailor Moon.

Oh dear. I am terrible.

But also not, I FEEL NO SHAME.
(do not judge me)

Okay bye then, I have nothing more to say because, as previously mentioned, I am boring.

(except that I finished reading So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld and am at a loss as to what to read now. Something inside me wants to reread The Host... and maybe I will, and will bemoan the fact that it's so loooong)

Hey look here are some more words I am writing and you are reading!

And here is a meme!

Comment on this meme and I will:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

I don't anticipate terribly many comments for this, but why the hell not!

I finally got around to going through my friends list for a little tidy up. Mostly just got rid of dead or locked journals. My profile feels less crowded now.

On that note, I have new profile codes and a new layout, and I did some shuffling with my icons; got rid of some and added some new ones.

And on a completely different note!

For the past three weeks or so I've been trying to eat healthy and exercise more. Call it a diet if you will, whatever. The point is, I have completely stopped eating junk food and I'm thinking about what I put in my body. And doing 100 crunches every day.

Given the fact that I've been sticking to this remarkably well in light of my past experiences with healthy eating and the like, I probably shouldn't feel as guilty as I do for the few times I've slipped up. Not so much slipped up as... had two slices of the chocolate birthday cake my friends made for me and missed my crunches that day and yesterday when my friends stayed the night (we got spectacularly drunk too... yeah).

Andbutso today I had one piece of chocolate (one little piece)... you know, one little piece won't hurt being the general thing my brain tells me.

Of course, once I have one little piece of something I love as much as I love chocolate I just want to keep eating it until there's nothing left. I didn't though (willpower!), but it's still a kind of shit thing my brain does. That jerk.

I am a fickle thing. I give in to temptation so easily on some things. I'm incredibly lazy. Yet when I'm challenged to do something (like giving up chocolate for lent in year 10 and BEDA) or really set my mind to it, I can keep going on some challenging something for longer than I would ever expect.

Then I give in and everything crumbles but I have my small victories (like not failing lent in year 10 and making it all the way through BEDA), and that's nice I guess.

I love my friends.

Last night my two best friends came over for what was supposed to be just an X-Men movie marathon. But they decided to make it an impromptu, belated birthday celebration, since I was away for my 18th. They showed up with balloons, champagne, a candle and a home made birthday cake.

They're the best.

We ate cake, drank champagne and watched X-Men. And it was awesome.

Lucy gave me Postsecret by Frank Warren. I read it all today and it was lovely.

Aaaaand I lent her Suite Scarlett and Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson, and passed on Buffy (it's on a rotation between our group of friends. I'm still waiting on seasons 5-7).

That is why my friends are awesome. They bring me cake and balloons and champagne and we share books and DVDs.
<3 Lucinda

And so we have come to the end of BEDA... back in March when I committed myself to doing this crazy thing this day felt so far away except now it is here. Now it is here and it is an ending and also a beginning (and it means that I have a week and a day to write that pesky essay). I could go on in this cliched manner, talking about how beautiful this is and how one journey is over but another is beginning.

The obligation to blog is gone, but this crazy thing that came out of Maureen Johnson's brain has reawakened my love of blogging and writing down the silly things I think of. While BEDA is finishing and I won't be blogging every day, I will still be blogging... something I only started doing again a bit over a month ago after not having done so seriously for three years.

Livejournal was a huge part of my life for two years, and then I stopped. And now, three years later, here I sit. I'm back here, where I released a lot of my creative energies three years ago and for the past month, and where I intend to continue to do so.

Also my blogs will probably be better from now on since it's no longer an obligation. I'm no longer required by my own mind and its silly self imposed rules to force something out of my brain daily. So from now on, when I do blog, it will be when I have something to say, and it will be better.

Oh me, always promising quality when I know I'll deliver something sub par, must stop that silly habit.

Anyway. It occurs to me that I haven't been a particularly good BEDA buddy to my renegade, last minute group, which is a little bit terrible of me. Um, sorry, I guess I just have very little time of late. My brain does not have a function to tell me when I need to run off and check blogs that aren't automatically put on my friends page for easy convenience. Makes me wish I had a paid account so I could create syndicated pages for the blogs I want to read but can't remember to go and check.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda. It's always that way. I never end up doing anything about it. I'm too poor and without means of sending money over the internets to buy myself a paid account (although should someone decide to buy one for me I wouldn't object... like that's ever going to happen xD).

Now my brain has come to the brilliant conclusion that I have nothing more to say.

I felt kind of yucky all day, good thing I didn't have uni. Did have homework though, and I got the stuff that is due tomorrow done, but the project I should have near completion so that it can be checked over tomorrow... I've barely started. Woo me!

Fact is, I had a terrible headache all day, which didn't go away despite the two strong painkillers I took. I woke up coughing, with a sore throat and my face felt really warm (even though my mum said it only felt a little warm and not hot... it was still uncomfortable). This sort of thing doesn't lend itself well to homeworky type motivation. I made some kind of terrible abstract watercolour paintings for my journal and did a cool thing with black and cream paper where I made a silhouetted city skyline seen over water (except that it was all black and white paper so it's not exactly identifiable as water anyway) and drew some boats. The kind you fold out of paper. Only I just drew them on paper and cut them out to stick into my journal in a nicely arrange fashion.

It's what I do I suppose. I like pretty things.

And this collection of words has moved in an entirely different direction. I'm not entirely sure where it could possibly be going.

I think I might stop it.

I also thing that I might blog tomorrow just because I am sentimental and I will miss this BEDA business. I'll miss being forced to write down my crazy thoughts and not just keep them in my brain where they belong. And I'll miss reading other peoples thoughts on a nice little internet page. I'll miss having something nice, shiny and new to read every day from some lovely people. I will venture so far as to say some of my new favorite people.

Or something like that, I don't know what I am doing, my head hurts and I should go to sleep. Goodnight, goodbye April, farewell BEDA. See you people in May.

Good lord I hate Channel 10's advertising... and most of the advertising on Australian television. By that I mean advertising for television shows. Television shows I like and would like to see decent ads for. Instead I get ads for House that give away the diagnosis, Merlin ads going on about successful movie franchises and how this show is just like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, Torchwood ads giving away the big twist in the ADS... really annoying voice over people...

Basically Channel 10 fails. So hard.

They play good shows (and buy the rights to every single episode so that no other channel can get at it, advertise it terribly, relegate it to midnights on Tuesday and then cancel it entirely when it doesn't do well because of how Terrible the Advertising was).

It kind of infuriates me. A lot.

And that is my rant for the day. I am too tired to be profound so you get irritated instead.

Wednesday is my early morning day. I have a lecture at 8am, which means getting up all early in order to get there on time (and then getting to my tutorial late because it took so long to get my coffee... gotta start getting that before the lecture).

So now it is 11pm and I am tired. I went to the library to get books for my essay after my tutorial then caught the bus home to dump them and had to walk a whiles to get the bus to meet my friends at the cinema. And then WE SAW WOLVERINE, and it was AWESOME.

I really should read the X-Men comics, I love the movies so much... anyone know where I can read it? (for frees of course, I am cheap and going broke fast).

Right now my big problem is that the friend I borrowed the Buffy DVDs from could only lend me seasons 1 to 4 and someone else has seasons 5 to 7... and I only have three episodes left on season 4! D:

I need those other DVDs. At this point I'm going to have to watch it on teh internets until I can get my hands on the lovely high quality goodness. Or I could rent what I can from Blockbuster... they don't have as much Buffy as the one I used to go to before we moved but I might get desperate. OR SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW I MIGHT BE GOING CRAZY JUST A LITTLE BIT MAYBE FROM SLEEP DEPRIVATION OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT.

Last night I dreamed that John Green was at my house along with two other people who I cannot recall. I was desperately trying to find my copies of Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns so he could sign them but they had DISAPPEARED. It was distressing but then I woke up.

I have the feeling I had something interesting that I was going to talk about earlier today but then I forgot it. Now it's gone and I'm tired and slightly manic and that is my cue to stop with this MADNESS.

I have to get up at the CRACK OF DAWN tomorrow morning. My waking will be signaled by the CROWING OF THE ROOSTER. (I win livin4hymn)

I think I may die... if you don't see any more posts from me that's why.

Except that I really hope I don't die because I'm seeing Wolverine tomorrow and it's going to be AWESOME.

Don't you hate when time gets away from you... I got to sleep in this morning because my studio at uni didn't start until 2. Only then I didn't get out of bed until 10, and I needed to do homework and have a shower and make something healthy to eat and clean the kitchen and gather all my art supplies and generally organize THE UNIVERSE. So I was rushing (I suppose the two episodes of Buffy I watched didn't help either) and I couldn't make anything particularly nice for lunch and my homework was half hearted (I redid it when I got to uni anyway) and I was stressing, despite the fact that I left the house with almost an hour to get to uni (a half hour bus trip at the most). Time always seems to get away from me on Tuesday mornings. I immediately switch back to weekend/holiday mode and lie in bed reading and listening to music in a generally luxurious manner... before realizing that I need to shower and eat and do homework and get out the door in time to catch a bus.

Buuuut anyway, I got to uni and I re-wrote the list of harmonies in my 3x3 grid of square drawings of natural objects, pinned everything up, talked with my friends, had a coffee and did some more work. I'm a bit more on top of my homework now that todays assessment is out of the way (my lecturer said I had done well, I'll get a mark back soonish). I still have a pretty big assessment due next Tuesday or Friday (I forget which), a review of 36 double page spreads of my theme journal on Friday (I've only got two spreads to go :D ) and a 1500 word essay next Friday (oh god I have no idea how to research this thing kill me now) but I feel less like I'm going to die about it all, which is always a plus.

Ye gods I am boring. That is pretty much my life right now. There is books and music and movies and Buffy and homework. I just don't have time to be interesting I guess, SORRY, YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS FOR TWO MORE DAYS... and then whenever I decide to update after that (If you still bother to read these words of mine after BEDA is over, we shall see).

For now I am listening to some calming music and I must sleep, because I have an early start tomorrow which may destroy me but there you go, it's life.
<3 Lucinda

OMG OMG OMG

I has a new mood theme and it's animated and it's Doctor Who and it's Ten/Rose and it's amazing! :D :D :D

AAAAAAA!
EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS FANTASTIC.

Except that I had uni today which is fail... had to get up early and everything. And now there is homework which I am ignoring for the sake of Buffy. I have to do some tomorrow morning before uni. I do get to sleep in tomorrow though! Yay for sleeping in. Can't sleep in too late though, need to do homework and generally be awake. Awake is a good thing, but so is sleep!

Ah choices! Sleep or be awake, homework or Buffy... UNI OR STARE AT ANIMATED DOCTOR WHO MOOD THEME GOODNESS.

Okay, going to have to go with uni there. Don't want to fail or anything... that wouldn't be too fun.

Right now my brain hurts a little and I am tired but I don't want to go to sleep because I am in the middle of an episode of Buffy (as per usual) and stopping the watching of Buffy is sacrilege in my current fangirly state of mind.

I guess I'm a really really strange person... ah well!

Today I had drawing. And then I went into the city to buy sushi and Twilight on DVD (don't kill me or anything). And then I went home and didn't get home until 3 and I hadn't eaten since 7:30 so that was fun.

But then stuff happened and I did homework and watched Buffy and had food and now I feel a little bit crazy and I'm going to stop writing now. Kthnxbai
<3 Lucinda

Could tomorrow please not happen... please?

I don't wanna go to uni, I don't wanna wake up at 7am... I don't waaaaannnaaaa D:

Darn the end of holidays, darn it's oily hide! It just ruins my mood. I really don't want to get back to the reality of homework and early mornings and having to do something meaningful with my day. Having to do things is pretty much a deal breaker for me right now, I much prefer the sleeping in, reading and watching Buffy all day option, that's more fun!

But regardless, I have to go back to uni tomorrow, which means getting serious about learning things. Or just showing up for the drawing and coffee bit and then going home (and doing homework, I has essay D: ). My course really isn't that hard, but there's a heavy load practical work, a lot of which has to be done at home... which doesn't really mix well with my extremely lazy side. Also there is a theory side to it which is definitely my least favourite part, 8am lectures are no fun. My brain can't comprehend things that early.

I think I'll stop whining about uni right now.

And think of another topic?

Except that I'm not an interesting person, as we have previously established.

I drew some things today. Two drawings for my drawing class tomorrow. They were of my street in one point and two point perspective. Only I got bored towards the end and didn't put in too much detail, but ah well, I think I might dailybooth them in a bit... when I can be bothered to move. Right now here is very comfortable. There is couch and there is blanket and there is Buffy, how could that possibly go wrong!?

And I have officially run out of things to say. Until tomorrow!
<3 Lucinda

I have way too much music for my own good... and for my iPod. Someday I'm going to have to go through and seriously think about what I need on there and what can stand to be just on my computer and not always in my pocket. I only have 2GB of space left on my 16GB brand new iPod.

This madness has to end... or something.

Also, I'm hurty all over. Aching and such. There is serious need for some getting healthy over here, so I have been making with the good food choices and such... aaaaand yesterday I did 100 crunches, after over 6 months with the no crunches. It huuuurts. Also doing 100 more today probably didn't help with the pain, but maybe it will with the weak muscles and such (if I keep it up), but still... pain is no fun.

There is so much Buffy going on right now and it is so awesome and fantastic and I love it. Woo for Joss Whedon and his fantasticalness.

...

I have come to the conclusion that I am not a very interesting person. I am all homework and Buffy and hurty but with no particularly interesting thoughts. At least not anything long enough to constitute an entire blog post. Buuuut anyway, I'm still blogging every day until the end of April so deal with it! Muahahahaha!

Yeah, I'm a strange one, I'll admit it. I tend to ramble when I have nothing to talk about. It's a habit of mine, not entirely without it's merits I like to think, somethings my brain spews forth something witty or something, it's fun to watch me flounder until that happens.

Wouldn't it be fun if you could spend a few hours as someone else and watch yourself... or maybe not. I've always wondered what it's like to be someone else though, to have a different family, different thoughts a different family, too see someone different when you look in the mirror. My brain is a crazy place, I have a particular memory of looking in the mirror in the bathroom in my primary school and thinking about how that person in the mirror is me and contemplating what life is like to be one of my friends.

Sometimes I just have those weird contemplative moments slash semi-out of body experiences where I look in the mirror and it occurs to me that that person is me and this is how I look and how I am and how I will be for the rest of my life.

Do you ever have those moments?
Maybe it's just me and I'm an entirely odd person.

Wow... this blog has taking a completely different course to where it was headed when I started writing. I tend to not plan ahead with these things. That is a bit of a problem of late, seeing as there is NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. Maybe I should get on that... or maybe I'll just ride my rambly wonderfulness as far as it'll go!
<3 Lucinda

So I did some homework today, not as much as I should have, but still... I did some... go me?

I spent ages searching for a cord to get the photos I took in Sydney off my camera so I could print them for homework purposes only to find it on the floor, between the couch and the side table all in the dark like. Apparently my brother knocked it down there, silly brother. And now there are photos all printed off and such and me too tired and unmotivated to go trim the edges and stick them in (well I think I can be excused there seeing as it's 11pm).

Alrighty, enough on homework, I have been talking about it far too much here of late. Right now I am watching Buffy, because I borrowed the DVDs for seasons 1 through 4 from a friend. I've seen up to about mid season 6 before but that was a few years ago and I never finished the series so now I am watching it ALL OVER AGAIN, from the VERY START! :D :D :D
It is GLORIOUS!

I will say that Buffy/Angel is the most angsty and amazing and sad storyline ever. And the season 2 finale was SO SAD. I cried tears of ANGUISH. And right now I am getting FANGIRLY so excuse me for just a MOMENT.

Basically Buffy is so awesome and amazing and sad and fantastic and made of WIN.

And that is all I will say on the subject... for now...

Today someone found one of my nerdfighter notes! :D
That makes me happy!

Happy happy happy!

Okay I'm done, this has been weird, thank you to all.
<3 Lucinda

Ugh *bashes head against wall*

I am so terrible and horrible and terrible.

If you haven't guessed, I've barely made a dent in my homework... I've wasted almost a whole day! And now it's late and I'm tired and Heroes is on tv, which is awesome even though I've already seen this episode.

Perhaps my being tired all day is a byproduct of the weather. It's been cold and gray and wet all day and I had to sit out in the cold rain waiting for my dad earlier (except that there was a wifi hotspot so I could be all nerdly while I was waiting xD).

Why am I so terrible?

I think you should all kick me, kick me now!
Leave me a comment about me DOING MY HOMEWORK.
You may threaten me, promise me presents, use violence, whatever you wish, just MAKE ME DO IT! D:

This entire day has been so lazy and wasteful. It felt kinda timeless, except that the world doesn't work like that at all... it felt like no time was passing except then I had to go out and then I got home and it was almost time for dinner so I just read a little bit... and then there was only half an hour until Grey's Anatomy so why would I bother even trying to make my brain have ideas and now it's too late!

IB is supposed to make you good at time management, uni's supposed to be easy after IB... well I got through IB just fine, and now the work isn't hard but I'm lazy! I can never be bothered doing my homework... I miss the holidays, before uni started, when I could just be lazy and it didn't matter. It's the holidays now but I spent over a week doing nothing homework related and now I have three days left before uni starts again and I have to get it all done but I'm laaaaazy!

And that is all
<3 Lucinda

I'm to tired for this. I'm writing something quick on my iPod because my sister is using the computer and I just want to wrote it and go to sleep. Who knows, I might even come back and add more later! How crazy would that be?!

So I am now at home, back in Adelaide. We said goodbye to Bondi this morning and flew home after brunch at Bronte.

Also my sister went to bed and now I have the computer so I can make this a bit longer I guess xD

Planes are annoying, and cramped and generally not nice. Something in the way I was sitting ended up hurting my neck slash shoulder quite a bit and I couldn't move enough to get more comfortable. I spent most of the flight reading and listening to music... I played solitaire on my iPod a bit (I'm just slightly addicted to solitaire... I like finishing it, the cards go into nice little piles! xD) and then we were home and I was tired and feeling icky.

My day really wasn't that interesting and I haven't really observed or thought of anything else to talk about so this is what you get, hooray!

I got a whole lot of apps for my new iPod, mostly free stuff but I did get Tweetie (and Skype, and Shazam, and Solitaire of course... and many more xD). So, I guess... anyone with an iPod touch or an iPhone recommend good free or cheap apps? Pleeeeeease?

.... uuuuuhhhh... blllaaahhhhh....
Nothing to saaaaaaay...

Traveling is tiring but I don't want tomorrow to come because I have so much homework to do and I have to start it tomorrow and if I don't then I'll never get it done and then I'll fail and have to drop out of uni and work at McDonalds for the rest of my life and die alone as a poor bogan.

Oh dear god no.

(What is my brain doing?!?)

As much as it's upset some people and created Drama around the interwebs, what Alex Day (Nerimon) has done to de-clutter his online world has some merit. I've said it before here, my life is in dire need of some de-cluttering. So today I followed suit and unsubscribed from some channels on youtube, mostly second channels and people I'm just not interested in anymore. My clear out has been nothing near as drastic as Alex's, I've reduced my subscription list to some 140 odd from almost 200...

I've also unfollowed some people on Twitter. Those bots, fake accounts and extra accounts who either spam or never update, a couple of celebrities I'm not interested in and a couple of people whose tweets haven't given me any indication of who they are or any motivation to keep following them. I waste so much time every day back reading tweets, it'll be nice to not have so many. This past week without easy internet access I've barely read anything on Twitter and I really don't miss it all that much but I know I'll feel that obligation again once I get home and back to normal life (I've also watched very few youtube videos for the past two or so weeks *gulp*).

Speaking of youtube... I think I shall take this opportunity to tell my sordid tale (I have too many sordid tales in my life, it's getting ridiculous). It's fairly safe to assume that I, like many of you, am relatively active in the youtube community. I used to make videos, I was Friday on a collab channel (never missed a week, only once uploaded a video late and that was by a minute after it had taken 12 hours to upload so it hardly counts, never got punished). But Then (there's always a But Then in sordid tales isn't there) a couple of things happened to change that. Firstly I was on the 365 Project, which gained me quite a few subscibers but had it's adverse affects. Someone from my old school, the school I graduated from a month before I started posting videos and that my sister still attends, stumbled across one of my videos.

As you can imagine, nothing good came of that. People at school were using my videos to bully my easily upset sister and a select number of people were making cruel, pointless and utterly unimaginative comments to me on Facebook. This upset my sister so much that eventually I was forced to take my videos down and stop making more, which meant leaving my collab channel.

It was not a particularly happy time and it's left me rather paranoid of everyone I went to school with save for my close friends. So much so that I hate seeing anyone I went to school with around uni and I always avoid them when I do. It has something to do with the fact that about a week before all of this Drama happened I'd run into one of the people who made horrible comments on Facebook at uni had had given her directions to the lecture she was late to. Of course nothing seemed out of the ordinary then, and a week later I was seeing idiotic but cruel comments directed at me from her. It really highlights how cruel and two faced some people can be and right about now there are very few people from my highschool I ever want to see again.

So that is the story... not terribly interesting, but it's my life nonetheless.
