Oh, the horror!

You know spiders. Yeah them freaky eight legged freaks what most people are scared of. Yeah, well at the minute I am having a staring competition with one. It is huge and I'm scared to take my eyes off it in case it suddenly ninja attacks me. It is actually staring back at me too...

Anywho, don't you hate it when there's a big even coming up and then suddenly, a massive spot shows up out of no where. Right on my lip as well. It was one of them explosive ones too.
I absolutely hate spots! Does anyone else?
The only thing I like is when they are super painful and then you squeeze it and it explodes and you just feel really relieved and no more pain.

Oh dear, I took my eyes away from the spider for literally a second and the spider is gone. It vanished. Poof. Gone. Oh dear.

I just realised this post has no real meaning to it, but hey, it is me.
I love being random and weird, it makes life more fun.

Anyway, toodle pip!

Those little things...

These are some of my peeves and annoyances.
May not be interesting, but hey, you's are like my best friends and I'm sharing facts about me.
Also this is like my diary. Hope you enjoy though.

1. Having extremely cold feet and no matter how hard you try, they won't warm up.
2. When people grind their teeth.
3. When the volume on the T.V is an odd number.
4. People staring at you while you eat.
5. When people take things out on you.
6. Feet, hands, eyeballs, knees and elbows. For some reason they scare me.
7. The fact I plan and start off writing a story but I can never find any motivation to finish it off.
8. When people are way too immature. Sure, I can tolerate when you can have a laugh with people and share jokes and have fun, but when they are too immature (especially at the age of 16) and they are sat there screaming at each other and pulling really weird faces, it gets annoying.
9. When people judge others for their appearance.
10. wen ppl tlk leik dis. Seriously, learn how to spell, no one can understand you when you talk like that!

So, I feel as though you guys are getting to know me well and you now know my main peeves and annoyances. Gosh, I hope I don't seem like a nagging person, I'm sorry if I do :O

Well, anywho, that's it for now.

Don't stop being beautiful!

Last day of school

Today was my last day at school! I really enjoyed it and I never realised how much I will actually miss being there.  These five years went over so quick, it's unbelievable.
They all planned this big party for us and we got awards, people performed for us, we got to sign each others tops and so on.
Everyone in the year got a top from the school saying 'HKSC, SEEN IT! DONE IT! GOT THE TSHIRT..." I love it so much. HKSC is my school by the way (Houghton Kepier Sports College)
I got a picture frame with my name on and a picture of our form.

All in all today was just brilliant.
I would like to say well done class of 06-11, hope everyone has a god future, going to miss everyone!

So, now I will awkwardly wander away because this post is a bit boring and you may find no interest in it, so I apologize to you now if I have wasted any of your time!

Toodle pip

Word of the day: Dork

A whale penis.
Yeah, not a geek, a whale penis.
I have probably scarred you all.
Remember, when someone calls you a dork, or you call someone a dork, you are in fact calling them a whale penis.

Hope you like.

Randoms

Well, haven't really updated on much stuff recently, so I will now.
My life has been pretty boring this week, although it is the last few days of year 11. I'm going to miss everyone.
Yesterday, I had an English literature exam, yay (note the sarcasm), it wasn't too bad though. I haven't bought anything recently either, if I did, I would of told you, but I have no money at the minute. Wow, this is quite depressing.
Even more depressing stuff, I was meant to go camping but it's going to rain *cries*

Happy stuff though!
Well, Friday, my sister is coming up from near London! I have missed her!
Then on Sunday, my other sister is taking me to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean. Captain Jack Sparrow, nomnomnom.
Next Wednesday, going to see my friend Thom, who I haven't seen in ages. I have actually missed him a lot. So next week should be eventful!
If I manage to buy anything I will upload some pictures of my haul and be sure to give you some reviews.

Right, I'm going to go because I am craving some ham, so therefore, I am going to look for ham.

Hope you all have a good few weeks ahead of you and remember, stay beautiful!

Word of the day: Sesquipedalians

Someone who likes to use long words. It also sounds like a sea creature...

Enjoy.

Word of the day: Fluhelhorns

Larger then a trumpet, smaller than a tuba, sounds like a cow with a cold. That is all.

Did you know...?

I like sharing random facts with you guys, especially if they are quite amusing or weird. I don't exactly know if you particularly enjoy this stuff, but...
So I am going to give you a few random facts...
I would start with 'you can't lick your own elbow' but I guess lots of people know that already.

1. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.
2. A shrimp's heart is in its head.
3. People say "bless you" because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a mili-second.
4. Sloths take 2 weeks too digest their food.
5. A duckbill platypus can store as many as six hundred worms in the pouches of its cheeks.
6. Human birth control pills work on gorillas
7. A group of 12 or more cows is called a flink.
8. Your stomach produces a new layer of mucus every 2 weeks - otherwise it would digest itself.
9. Most lipstick contains fish scales.
10. Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. It's the same with apples.

Well, there's your 10 interesting (or boring, you decide) facts.
I dare say I find some of them rather weird, hence why they are on here...

Toodle pip

Word of the day: Zonkey

Simple; half zebra, half donkey.

Also, here is a picture of one!
Aw, it's quite cute, don't you think?

A little rant.

Just going to have a little rant because this is like my diary and I just need to let it all out!

You know, I don't see the point in having best friends any more! They are supposed to be there for you and love you for who you are. I now know I can't fully trust anyone now, apart from myself and my blog with all you lovely, caring bloggers!

This started not too long a go, when I had to go home because I had a doctors appointment soon. Then about a week later when my apparent 'best friend' was off ill my other friend had said that she'd been talking about me behind my back! Sheesh! Talk about sly.

Wow, I feel a bit better after my rant now. I just want to go shopping for hair extensions now...

Anywho, I hope you all enjoy your night/day and I will see you sexies later!

Bye now.

Word of the day: Slobberknocker

I just laughed at this word, hence why it's made it to word of the day!
Slobberknocker means;
A fierce and violent fight amongst two  people, or a number of participants that eventually turns into a full-fledged "donnybrook."

Donnybrook may end up in word of the day too because that word is quite funny and strange.

Enjoy.

End of the world... Supposedly

Well, apparently the world is going to end in approx. half and hour?
Well if it does, I just want to let you all know that I love you all so much!
My beautiful followers, my blog is still so young, yet you love it anyway and keep saying that it is good! I want to thank you's all for being the best followers ever!
Also, I have enjoyed reading all of your blogs too!

Ok, I wanted to say this sometime anyway :P
You's are seriously the best!

Zoe out!
Toodle pip, my lovelies!

Word of the day: Kartoffelpuffer

This charming word is German for 'potato cake'. It is pronounced as 'kartoffel poofer'.

Enjoy :)

Moral of a story

Ok, so here's a scary story for you. It's called Hairy Toe.

Once there was an old woman who went out in the woods to dig up some roots to cook for dinner. She spotted something funny sticking out of the leaves and dug around until she uncovered a great big hairy toe. There was some good meat on that toe which would make a real tasty dinner, so the old woman put it in her basket and took it home.
When she got back to her cottage, the old woman boiled up a kettle-full of hairy toe soup, which she ate for dinner that night. It was the best meal she'd had in weeks! The old woman went to bed that night with a full stomach and a big smile.
Along about midnight, a cold wind started blowing in the tops of the trees and around the old woman's house. A large black cloud crept over the moon and from the woods a hollow voice rumbled:
"Hairy toe, hairy tow. I want my hairy toe." Inside the house, the old woman stirred uneasily in her bed and nervously pulled the covers up over her ears.
From the woods there came a stomp-stomp, stomping noise as the wind whistled and jerked at the treetops. In the clearing at the edge of the forest, a hollow voice said:
"Hairy toe, hairy toe. I want my hairy toe." Inside the house, the old woman shuddered and turned over in her sleep.
A stomp, stomp, stomping sound came from the garden path outside the cottage. The night creatures shivered in their burrows as a hollow voice howled:
"Hairy toe, hairy toe. I want my hairy toe." Inside the house, the old woman snapped awake. Her whole body shook with fright as she listened to the angry howling in her garden. Jumping out of bed, she ran to the door and barred it. Once the cottage was secure, she lay back down to sleep.
Suddenly, the front door of the cottage burst open with a bang, napping the bar in two and sending it flying into the corners of the room. There came a stomp, stomp stomping noise of giant feet walking up the stairs. Peeping out from under the covers, the old woman saw a massive figure filling her doorway. It said:
"Hairy toe, hairy toe. I want my hairy toe."
The woman sat bold upright in terror and shouted:
"I ATE your hairy toe!"
"Yes, you did," the giant figure said very gently a it advanced into the room.
No one living in the region ever saw the old woman again. The only clue to her disappearance was a giant footprint a neighbour found pressed deep into the loose soul of the meadow beside the house. The footprint was missing the left toe.

Moral of the story; don't eat toes or a giant will come and probably eat you!
So, I know it wasn't scary. I don't even think it was meant to be. I found it quite humerous. Sorry it is a little long, but I hope you still enjoy!

Insults

I just want to share with you guys about how lame I am with coming up with insults.
Me and my friends will just sit there making up random insults and call each other them, as you do, and they always end up laughing at how pathetic and crappy mine are D:

Here are some examples;

• Fluffernutter
• Turd burger
• Mess
• Snollygoster
• Slangwhanger

and my personal favourite;

• Scollywop

So, just a thought here. Does anyone else seem to come up with these strange insults, or is it just me?
If you have any funny insults, or just words in general, then feel free to comment with them.

Word of the day: Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the charming word of the day...
It is;
The medical name for man boobs.

Enjoy.

My blog is carbon neutral

So yeah, I was reading someone's blog, Voice of a nerd to be precise. (Her blog is so cool by the way)
I came across 'my blog is carbon neutral' and I was thinking that it was cute and very cool at the same time. We do need to work together to save the earth <3






How cute is this little button please? You can also get them in different colours!









Anyway, here is the link to get there;

Go there! It explains lots of stuff too!

Phobias

Like I said, I am going to make a blog on my fears.
I have quite a few phobias, because I'm a paranoid freak and I'm scared of almost everything! I may also include some of the phobias I found funny. Fun fun.

My main phobia is Coulrophobia, which is a fear of clowns. I absolutely hate them! They must of been the worst thing ever created. Every time I see a clown I break down into tears because I'm soft and puff-ish like that.
I also have Claustrophobia, which you all should know is a fear of confined spaces. I can't even be in crowded places for too long, this is the only reason why I don't really like shopping!

 Those are the two main phobias I have. I think if I were to write about all of my phobias the list would go on for ages!

The phobias I found funny were;
Decidophobia - Fear of making decisions.
Atelophobia - Fear of imperfections.
Caligynephobia - Fear of beautiful women.
Now, for the best!
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words.

That's all for now,
Toodle pip

Word of the day: Glabella

The glabella is the area between the eyebrows, just above the nose.

I actually love this word. It is fun to say... Glabella. Glabella. Glabella.
You should try saying it. hehe.

Random update of stuff

Well well. Hi there.
Please excuse the fact I might not be able to update as much in the next few weeks up until the 15th June as I have exams and I'm revising like crazy!
Seriously, I'm revising so much that in science when the teacher was calling out the register, I responded to my name with "chymosin"
I also have the word Jacobean stuck in my brain for English literature, because it's the reign of James I.

Anywho, away from the exams and revision stuff, we were talking about our fears today and I decided that in the next blog I will write, I will write about the fears I have... Might be interesting. Hmm. I like stuff like this. I think I'm a bit of a dork because I love to read, write, research random things and also play games. Got to love games though! Yeah, I'm blabbering now :)

Oh, I may start a word of the day too because it is different. These will be weird words too! Yay weirdness :P

Ok, I guess that is it for now...

Toodle pip.

10 questions

So, I started this blog like 3 days ago? Yet I haven't properly introduced myself! So I'll start off with some stuff and then 10 questions, yay! I do hope you don't get bored and feel free to use these questions on your blog if you want!
So starting off, my name is Zoe Laura Black, I'm 16 years old. I am 5ft2 and I am underweight (sigh) and I also love to blog...Yeah, onto the questions.

1. What is your best friends name? I have 2 very close friends at the minute, Yasmina and Thomas, I don't really believe in best friends because I'm a dodgy person and I can never trust anyone 100% and I think a best friend is where you can trust them 100%.

2. What's your favourite number? The number 4, don't know why, I just think it's kind of...cute?

3. What colour crayon would you be? This is a bit random, random is cool though! Erm, purple because it is my favourite colour.

4. What is the first thing you notice on the opposite sex? Usually their eyes and other features. Duh! But, I love the eyes ;)

5. Favourite T.V show? Spongebob Squarepants - always has been always will be. Aw.

6. Siblings? Uh, this could get confusing. Well, basically I have 4 other siblings but they are all half. On my mother's side I have a brother and two sisters and on the father's side I have a sister. I am the only child for my parents together (does that even make sense?)

7. Hair colour? Well, it is blonde at the roots and kind of fades into a light mousey brown colour, but in the sun I go ginger with blonde streaks...

8. Eye colour? Greyish blue... With black. Sweet.

9. Right handed or left? Right

10. Any piercings? Yes, my ears and I used to have my bellybutton pierced, wish I still had it :(

Right, there are some random facts about me. Some are not too interesting but, heck, it was quite fun to do... If I didn't have annoying people talking to me and putting me off.
Now, you know a bit more about me...

Toodle pip!

Odd numbers

Right, this post is mainly because I noticed that I had 9 posts and it is an odd number and I hate odd numbers,
so this is just basically a random post to make that odd number even.

I don't know what it is but I absolutely DETESTE odd numbers! When someone turns up the volume on the T.V and puts it on an odd number it bugs the hell out of me so I have to go get the remote and turn it up/down one to make it even.
I think it is some sort of OCD because whenever I see an odd number I just want to scream and eliminate it. I'm so weird.

I wonder if anyone else is like this with odd numbers...
Oh well, that's probably enough for now

Toodle pip!

Hairstyles

ARGH, I'm having a hair crisis here! Stressful times...

I don't know if I should just leave it and let it grow out or get it cut really short... Like short short... Pixie cut, I think it is called?
I also don't know if I want to keep my fringe or let that grow out too! Urgh, hair annoys me...

I want blonde hair too but that's not happening because I'm not allowed to dye my hair anymore! sob.

I guess most girls have the same problem though... I'll figure something out ;)

I fancy some input. Zoe to blogger, y'know what I mean?

Dear diary,
       Today started off quite bad having to wake up at such an early time for school, which I had to walk there by myself and then realised that most of my friends were either off ill or re-sitting an English exam. So, a morning of free lessons by myself. ~sulk~
I then had to go at dinnertime, without any dinner to go and get the bus to a college. It was so frigging windy I almost fell over a few times!
So I got to the college and me and my mother dearest waited around for a good 15 minutes to be seen to, we were also a bit lost and no one even offered to help us out or anything - nice people.
After a lovely boring interview and getting shown around an art exhibition (yeah, I must admit it was pretty interesting seeing what other people's imaginations etc..) but the woman showing me around talked way too much and kept staring at me.

By the time we were able to go, we missed the 'quicker' bus and it was too windy and cold to wait for the next one so we ended up hopping on the bus that took us around the whole county (okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit) and I was starving!

After all this kerfuffle I got a lovely corned beef pasty and demolished it within minutes of purchase, heck, why aren't I the size of an elephant?
I got home blardy-blar... Blogged a bit and talked to the lovely Harry, which made my day a bit better.

Right after all of this long day... He, out of the blue, says that I am beautiful. Simple, yes, but it actually made my entire day. Just shows that little things aren't as little as they seem (does that make sense? Did in my head)
Aw, but he is a sweety!

~ But remember, if you're feeling down, just remember you were the quickest sperm! You are special and very much loved.  

Ciao now

Rants!

Today I would like to tell you a heart warming story... NOT!
I hate buses! Seriously, they are loud and smelly and just urgh! Today I was sitting on a bus coming from my college interview when this old man stuck his crotch, yes, his CROTCH in my FACE.
Also at the college, we got shown around and it sucked! The woman - who looked like a poodle, kept staring at me and I found it sooooo awkward. I hate it when people stare it me for long amounts of time.

You know, today wasn't that bad. Never had any lessons, so that was cool :3
Got to go at dinner since I had this college interview... Never got my dinner though :/

PERIODS! I would like to say; why do we need periods? Seriously! Then there's an advert where a woman says "Have a happy period" yeah the only time I will be happy during a period is when I'm not actually on my period.

Ok, there's my little rant over, might post some more for my darling wifey, Yasmina because she loves these ;)
Toodaloo

More about sleeping - dreams

Right, this is kind of carried on from the sleeping positions thing, but it's more about a strange dream I keep having.
So basically it starts off where I'm in an old house and I go into a room and end up getting locked in. I look around the room and notice that there is a man hanging in the middle of the room, no eyes and no skin! Also, there are people sitting in each corner of the room, with their throats slit. Sometimes I wake up at this part, but sometimes it carries on and I get tied to a chair which is underneath the hanging man... I don't know who ties me down and this dream is quite disturbing... OK, it's very disturbing.
I have told a few people about it and they just said I was crazy and that I probably needed to see someone. Pfft, no thanks.

So, if you have any strange or violent dreams, feel free to share.
I would also be grateful if you followed me ;)

Personal Favourites

Some of these are a bit old, but I still love them loads! 

In my opinion I find these products really good, hence why they are under my personal favourites. You may like some, you may dislike some, like I said, we all have different opinions.

First two products are obviously for hair.
In my own opinion I think that Garnier Fructis Strength and Shine is a great shampoo and conditioner because they make my hair super soft and shiny. I also think it smells great!
The second product is Toni&Guy Rubber Shine Gel which you rub a small amount in between the palms of your hand and rub it into your freshly washed, dry hair. It gives it an extra shine and doesn't make my hair look greasy. But I guess that is just my hair, I wouldn't really recommend this to everyone because I don't know if it would work on everyone's hair. It might make some people's hair look greasy.

For my face, I usually use Clean&Clear.
Instead, for the facial wipes, I picked up Garnier Simply Essentials with plant extract and pro-vitamin B5. I actually really like using these facial wipes because they make my skin feel very soft and they also make my skin look healthier and I also look more awake. They even remove waterproof mascara. These wipes are suitable for sensitive skin also. I usually use these first to clean off my make up.
I like to use Clean&Clear ex foliating daily wash which makes my skin even more smoother and gets rid of dead skin. It also says it prevents blackheads, but it's not really working with that. I still really like this product though!
To finish off, I use Clean&Clear Dual Action Moisturiser. Moisturiser is the best way to get healthy looking skin. It also reduces the chances of getting wrinkles early. This moisturiser also helps prevent spots and blemishes, which it does really well!

 

For my body I use Skin So Soft Creamy Body Buffer. It helps exfoliate your body and gets rid of unwanted dead skin cells. This body buffer leaves you skin feeling silky smooth! I would recommend doing this about once or twice a week. After the body buffer I like to use Skin So Soft Soft and Smooth hair minimising lotion which leaves your body feeling very irresistibly soft! It also minimises the appearance of body hair, which I think is great!

Lastly, I like to make my lips look and feel more healthy too! What's worse then walking around with chapped lips!

I use Dr Pepper lipsmacker which you can get at Claire's for really cheap (can't exactly remember the price! Sorry!)  but it moisturises and smooths your lips. It also smells delicious!
You can also get these lipsmackers in other flavours such as Cherry Cola or Lilt.

So far I have only tried the Dr Pepper though.

So, here is my list of my favourite products so far. If I get any other products I will update and tell you about them on here!

Remember to comment!

Shopping

So, if you read Yasmina's blog, you will know that we went shopping recently. I never really got to buy much with my lack of money and the fact I like to go for expensive stuff.

 These are my lovely shoes I got for £10 from Primark. 

I adore them! They are now my babies. 

I got home and showed my mother and she said I have a major shoe fetish, which I do...

 I got Collection 200 Extreme 24 hour Felt Tip Liner. Two in fact... Both in black. 

They were £2.99 each from Boots but there was an offer on and you got the cheapest for free... So I got one of these for free!

 Just showing what it was like, I'm already assuming you will know, but oh well, you still get a picture.

Also a picture to show how easy the application is. I am aware my eye is very blue.

 I also got Collection 200 Longer Lash 100% waterproof. This was also £2.99 in Boots. The colour is brown black.

I never usually get waterproof. First mascara in ages which is waterproof. I don't know why, I just like the ones that are not waterproof.

But, don't get me wrong, I love this mascara. It's not clumpy and it does make my eyelashes look a bit longer.

Sleep - Positions

You know what interests me? Sleeping positions. Yeah, them.
I don't really know why but they just fascinate me. So, I have done a bit of research about it and decided that I should put something about it in my blog, because everyone does do it!

So, here is a picture to show the most popular sleeping patterns, along with the percentage of popularity. The percentage doesn't really appeal to me to be fair, I just like looking at the picture and reading about them!
This image was found on Google, after typing in sleeping positions.


The foetus: Described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they meet somebody, but soon relax.

Log: Easy going and social, like being part of the 'in-crowd'. They can be quite gullible.

Yearner: Have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely to ever change it.


Soldier: Generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

Freefaller: Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.


Starfish: Make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like the centre of attention.

Ok, so there is a bit of information about these positions. This came to mind when I woke up and noticed what position I was in, it just made me a bit curious. I usually tend to sleep in the starfish position and that description seems to fit me pretty well!
I found the information at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3112170.stm
If you want to read more about it, just click the link.


Don't forget the comments and constructive criticism!
Also, would be cool to find out what position people sleep in, just to see what is the most popular on here ;)

New start, new blog, explanations baby

You know what? I had a blog before. Yup.
I decided to delete it because I didn't like it and I just forgot to keep on track with it. I didn't really want to keep all my old blogs on either, so goodbye old blog, hello new one.

So, this blog will serve to me as an online kind of diary, you know, writing about my shenanigans. Maybe putting up some tips and random information I find quite interesting, hopefully you will too!

Ok, so the beauty stuff mainly comes from my friend, Yasmina and her beautiful blog http://yasminaamagdyy.blogspot.com/ you should check it out sometime. Her blogs are very interesting and have information about beauty stuff and so on.

Yeah, enough about all this shizzle now!
Let's just hope these blogs turn out interesting and you will enjoy them.
~ Peace
