Oh yeah! I have a blog... oops. I feel like updating this more now, but I know I'm just saying that because I'm in an organised mood because of revision. This will last for this evening, then I'll get bored or busy with revision that I should be doing and then I won't update this until I find out somebody else has a blog. There really is no point because I don't even think I have any followers. Whey!
So I started my GCSE's yesterday. My official study leave actually started today though, so I had to go to school for 4 lessons and then do my RS exam which was just so shit, it's RS. I don't care about it, but it went fine. It's half a GCSE as well. o_O So basically, even if I get an A* which is worth 8 points, I will only get 4. It's still an A* though, so that'll look alright. As far as I know, universities pretty much disregard anything with the word 'studies' on the end of it anyway, but obviously they are looking for high grades.
I've had today off because I had no exams, but I've been revising for my dance exam which is at 1:30pm tomorrow. I feel pretty confident about that so s'all good yo'. I've then got nothing until next Monday, yayay! Then it's just another week and then it's the THIBBILS gathering! (I still put in an H because I refuse to remove Hatti, especially since it was originally called THIBILS). I'm really looking forward to the gathering, I haven't been to one since the Advent Gathering on November 29th 2008! Anyway, the Apprentice is on now and it's cutting into the Wigan Athletics v Manchester United match but meh, I watched it for the mostpart. OKAY BAI NAO. <3

Skype Blog
I hate that I am so tempted to do this, but I'm too tired to stop myself. Here goes.
When talking to you online, you never seemed very interested in continuing conversation with me. Nevertheless, I have met at a gathering since then and you are a lovely person. I'd love to get to know you more. We haven't talked on skype a lot.
You are a very sweet person, but a lot of the time you are very naïve because of your age. You don't mean to annoy anybody, but being quite a bit younger than everyone else causes this to happen often. This also makes it so easy to mix in with the wrong people. I think you have personally. Defending people you are loyal to, who don't deserve it. You talk to me a lot but maybe shouldn't so much since the conversation never leads anywhere.
You are such an easy person to talk to and one of the sweetest people I have come across. You are very friendly and welcoming and all I'd wish to do is get to know you even better. We don't talk on skype so much but definitely elsewhere.
I don't know you very well. You added me when we talked most, and that was a long time ago when all we did was greet each other. We don't talk on skype at all.
I found you to be a strong person when I first met you and always did. Now, not so much. You also don't make the effort to talk to me anymore, and this makes me less inclined to talk to you. I know you shouldn't have to make the effort, but then again, neither should I. Things aren't like they used to be, nobody had to make an effort, we'd talk about whatever and that was that. The conversation would flow. That can't happen if we don't talk to each other. Oh well, I guess we've run out of things to talk about, or you think of me as a bad person now.
I have only got to know you much better recently and I am so thankful for it. I absolutely adore your sense of humour, you always make me laugh at the computer screen and make me spill water on my keyboard. Although you've got that sense of humour, I know you are a loving person and I love knowing that we are friends.
You are a lovely guy. I share things in common with you and you're just generally a funny and quirky person who always brightens up gatherings with your character. I talk to you a lot online, not necessarily on skype though.
You are nice from what I know of you, but like others you've fallen into the trap of someone I really wish you hadn't. It's a horrible place to be and I'm pretty happy I got out fast enough.
You are ADORABLE. You are one of the people who I talk to on skype the most with. We constantly take the piss out of each other but I still love you dearly. Get your arse to gatherings!
You are a nice guy. Too bad things happened the way they did, now we've drifted.
You are lovely! Most of the time you are cheerful and full of things to say. You stick by your opinions always which is great but some people can set you off which isn't so good. I can't wait to get to know you better.
You were one of my first friends of the community but I'm not sure what happened. To be honest, you seemed really nice online but were pretty stuck up and irritating when I met you. I wasn't going to just stand there and pretend I was enjoying you in my face all the time. We don't really talk anymore, but this doesn't bother me.
You are really nice, It would be great to meet you!
You are amaaaazing. You're never sad. Always quirky and funny and full of life and everything good! You're clever, pretty and such a nice person. I can't wait to see you again.
You are really funny to watch and I've seen you at gatherings but we've never known who each other are! I promise I will talk to you next time.
I was told things about you that made me wonder how meeting you would end up. What people said made no difference, you were lovely and getting to know you shall be lovely!
You are a funny guy, you never fail to make me laugh!
I don't know you very well yet, but I hope that changes soon. You have incredible hair.
You are a very sweet guy who I'm sure will be even better when I get to know you properly!
Don't know you really.
You are lovely, go to another gathering please!
You've changed, I don't know what it is. I'm seeing what they said about you now but it's happening to me. Make an effort once in a while, I know I am.
You seem so sweet and I'm sure you are. You are very popular in the community and getting to know you will be lovely!
You have become a really close friend in school and I'm so glad. You're so understanding and so much like me! Nevur change laik.
You too, fugly. School is incredible now that I know you, you are just as odd as me and everything is fun!
I love you! You've supported the family so well, I'm so happy and proud!
You are brilliant, pretty much!
I have no idea who you are. Oh yeah, I do, but I don't know you.
OMG. Right, I'm probably not your best friend on here, but fucking hell are you mine. I hate being cheesy but seriously, you have made me so effing happy. You are an incredible person, you truly guide me like an older sibling. I miss you when I don't talk to you, we relate to each other in so many ways. Fookin'ell, book that ticket to England PRONTO. I love you, I do. <3
The first time I met you was at a gathering! Within a few hours we were chillin' like we'd known each other for years! You are brilliant, I don't want to lose contact with you.
I used to talk to you quite a bit, but now not so much. I don't really see you anywhere. We'll chat soon.
I need to friggin' speak to you at the gatherings but I never find the chance. Simple explanation is I'm a wimp. As we promised, we will haz hugz.
I was so annoyed knowing that I wouldn't be able to meet you at the end of last year, but that 30 second phonecall made knowing you worthwhile! Thank you for being the great guy that you are, visit again sometime when I'm invited places!
You are soso lovely. We can talk about anything and everything and I love knowing that I can do that and that I am being trusted. You always welcome me so wonderfully and I love you!
You were a pretty good friend but then you told me things I didn't ask to hear and changed my view of people about things that were lies. I'm happier avoiding you now and it is pretty hurtful seeing friends of mine fall into the palm of your hand to do whatever the fuck you want with them. Also, you're bloody annoying.
You're one of the original friends I still talk to sometimes which is nice! If you were on skype more I'm sure we'd talk more, so chat soon!
Done. I doubt many people will see this. It's not something I'm going to be posting on twitter because the people I don't want to guess who's who are EXACTLY the people who will.
peace&love

Advent Gathering
Although we didn't do much, I really quite liked it. :)
I liked the people I met, the people I was with the majority of the day and just generally being around people who are more like me.
When I say we didn't do much, I mean we didn't do anything. xD Well, anything that we said we would. We were meant to go ice skating and to the science museum and most probably an arcade but ended up eating lunch from leicester square after saying we'd meet up elsewhere, meeting back to do the secret santa and then getting the train to hyde park to walk around a fair we didn't do anything at. Then we went to Harrods and sat outside of it (good times) and I left at 4:30 because I didn't think that anything else was going to happen. They ended up going to the Tate Modern I believe. :)
I got picked for the secret santa by Paul (thetreeorthebear) and he gave me a Thomas & Friends advent calendar and a playlist of a bunch of completely different songs, most of which I really enjoyed and hadn't thought to look for before which was his goal. Thank you Paul. <3
I picked out HelloLivvy out of Charlie's spiffing santa hat and she got a Cadburys advent calendar and a 24 box of ferrero rochers which I thought was very nice of me. ^_^
It was a lovely day and I can't wait to see everyone again! Gatherings rule!

Performing Arts
Around May 2007, I was in Year 9 and choosing my GCSE's that I would study during years 10 & 11. Me and 14 other people in my year out of 150 were offered a Performing Arts A.S Level Applied course to do two years early. I happily agreed, not realising that the teachers who would teach us through the 6 A level units knew as much about this course as the students. The first year went well. It was all about personal skill analysis and improvement and nothing to do with achieving higher than the next person. For example, improving from skill 1 to 4 for flexibility is better than improving from skill 2 to 4 for posture. We then dropped either Dance, Drama or Music and focus on the two subjects that we had left. After doing 2 assessments in Music, I dropped it and focused on improving the two I had chosen to keep to finish off the unit.
The next unit was about applying these skills that we had improved on to form our own company, distribute jobs (e.g. Artistic Director, Set Designer) and plan for an event/a show that would be organsied completely by the students with little guidance from our teachers. We were given an imaginary budget for things like hiring the venue and band, and a real budget of around £200. After a few lessons of discussion, we decided that we would not use a piece already made because along with songs that we would add in, this could go over our budget as we needed rights. We chose the theme of a boot/brat camp called 'And That's Why I'm Here' in which we would be in the camp for our own reasons, hopefully conveying this to the audience. A girl in the camp is there for burning down her 3 of her past schools and attempts to set the camp's tents on fire, most of us escape but 3 die: the girl who started the fire; a girl who found true love at the camp and a girl who was innocent all along. The show did not go according to plan and we received plenty of negative feedback from our teachers and needed to sort it out. We have been doing so for the past 2 weeks and have our performances on Thursday 11th & Friday 12th December.
Why am I telling you this? Because I've been more patient than I ever thought I could be. The boy whose role is Artistic Director is very controlling and fails to see when him and his closest friends are incorrect. If there is anything wrong with the show then the blame gets passed on to my friends and I which I find unfair and ridiculous, especially as him and his friends are the main problem. He is very popular in the Performing Arts area of my school. I admit he is a very good dancer and can act, but I feel that his abilities and character & dance vocabulary is limited. When I see him act, well, I don't. I still see him saying lines of a story he is pretending is his. I'm not saying I'm a fantastic actress, but I feel I am trying harder and doing a better job than he is. When he has the cheek to tell the rest of us apart from his precious friends that we need to act more and the next runthrough he is pissing about, that is where I draw the line. He can't sing a note in tune but I don't want anybody to tell him this. I'd rather he embarrass himself on stage next week. This will sound harsh I know, but his personality is awful (and his singing).
Anyway, we had an all day rehearsal today and apart from that fool, the show is pulling together and we actually received mostly positive feedback!
Hope you're all doing well. <3

Well hi. (more than an intro :x)
A place where I can post my thoughts & feelings and can be as boring as I wish? How nice!
Firstly, I have to say I like this font. It's nice. It makes me want to type more which means you have more to read. Muaha.
I was going to do a little introduction but then I realised that you probably only read this if you know me, so there really isn't any need.
...
What the heck. HI I'M AMY. Or Amycakes as I'm known as on blogtv.
People often recognise my name and not my face, because I'm not awfully popular on youtube. This doesn't bother me at all. ^_^ I make videos for my own amusement and I am happy with where I am. I didn't set out to become 'internet famous' and have eleventy billion subscribers (cheers for the number Hatti <3).
Being where I am has made me very happy, and I would not change one thing. Not everything is perfect, but I'd be afraid that one change would alter the good that I've got out of being on here.
I have met a bunch of great people who I do love, and I really do not wish to lose any of them.
After every youtube gathering I'm only thinking about them and how I can't wait to see them at the next. That may sound silly but not to me. Gatherings make me very happy! I've only been to two in total but both of them have been some of the best days I've had in a long time.
I used to be a timid little girl who was afraid to talk to anybody outside of my own form at school because I didn't know how to just make conversation with them. I began my GCSE's at the end of year nine and I was out of my comfort zone. This anxiety disappeared almost instantly and I now find myself thinking back wondering what I was worried about. I was about to face bigger challenges in my life and could not afford to be afraid of talking to others or being alone. It was only about five years from then that I could be on my way to university, getting out and trying to make it on my own.
How I turned from that timid little girl who didn't like to socialise to a girl who travels to London to meet up with people she's never met before with nobody by my side, I don't know. But it's an amazing feeling.
I feel safe with you lot. I was scared of my own town because of the idiotic teenagers and whatnot, yet I find myself wondering the streets and tube stations of London without a care in the world, just knowing that I am with some of the best people I'll ever meet.
I love you lot so much, and I am so appreciative that you are now a part of my life. <3
I feel I'm drifting from my best friends at school and but knowing that I have people that I am even closer to is a nice feeling. Plus, I don't see you as often so it makes it really special when I do. :)
Interesting first blog, eh? Not.
It just kinda poured out. I feel better now though!
If you read until the end, thank you. :D
'Til next time! Peace & love. <3
