That thing called being gay...

Hey!

Since I've been a crappy blogger recently, I thought I'd do another opinion based blog. Now I thought I'd blog my opinion on homosexuality. I'm not a lesbian of bisexual, however some of my family are and some of my mum's friends are, I have some friends who are gay/lesbians, and honestly I don't get why people are so against homosexuality. Everyone who I know that is homosexual is exactly the same as me, they're just attracted to the same sex as themselves.

I'm writing this blog because really, I want to get your opinion. I don't understand why homophobia is even a thing. A girl in my class said to my teacher "Why do they chose to be gay? It's not doing them any good." But forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm sure you don't chose to be gay because that would mean that everyone was born straight right? What if it was the other way around and everyone was born gay and you chose to be straight? You're either born gay or straight, but it takes a while for you to figure out your sexuality right? I honestly don't know and that's why  I would appreciate your opinions, tell me what you think.

I wrote a speech for my Drama assessment about being gay and thought I'd share it with you, I don't want to offend anyone so if I've made an error feel free to correct me...

The Speech ;

Being gay isn't and was never a choice - just like the colour of someone's skin isn't and was never a choice - but judging someone by one of their features would be racist. Wouldn't it? It would be offensive. Wouldn't it?

But saying things like "that's so gay" is offensive but it just gets passed off in society like it's not offensive - when really it's as bad as being racist. Isn't it?

No. That's the answer to the question for so many people in this world. But why? Why, in this day and age have we managed to change the way we look at everything and everyone in this world and what and who we can accept - but other human beings are still being discriminated against? Labelled. Grouped. Then discriminated against. That's what this society does with people who are gay.

Being gay doesn't change you as a person. You're just attracted to other people. It's not a lifestyle. It's not a choice. So why does everyone reject it so much? Who are you to judge? Who are you to discriminate? Who are you to decide what's "acceptable" and what's not? Because after all, being gay isn't ok. It isn't "acceptable". Is it?

That's my idea of society's relationship with gay people. I could be totally wrong but that's just how I see it. I just thought I'd write this post because it is something I've always felt strongly about and I'd like to share my thoughts with you and I'd like to get your opinions too. If you are going to comment please be thoughtful and aware that other people will be reading the comments and they wouldn't appreciate anything harmful or mean targeted at them.

Also know that I do read the comments and I am more than happy to answer any questions or just to give any advice / try to give any advice (be warned that I probably won't have the greatest advice...)

Just a crappy blogger...

Hey!

I've been so crap at everything recently. I'm so sorry, I'm just being really lazy. I've filmed my YouTube video, I just haven't edited and uploaded it yet. I also have a recipe that I will blog tomorrow or something. I just wanted to say that I am the worlds crappiest blogger and for that I am extremely sorry.

In other news, I will be off to Paris in July which is really exciting and I'll be off to Bordeaux (it's pronounced bor-dough and it's in France if you didn't know) in August and then in September my little baby cousin will be born which is really exciting!!!

I've also persuaded (well there's little persuading left to do) my mum to get me and my sister a PS4 for Christmas,so the rest of 2015 is looking up!!! I also promise to do some vlogging in Paris and Snapchatting / Instagramming in Bordeaux and many pics of the baby (when he arrives) will plaster my Instagram feed, so if you don't follow me on social media, you probably should.

Sorry for being crap

Peppermint + Strawberry Iced Tea + Healthy Eating...

Hey!

I've currently been eating healthier because I know for a fact that I'm not the healthiest person in the world. So I recently discovered I can trick myself into eating things I haven't eaten before, that I probably wouldn't like (especially over a packet of sweets) I trick myself into thinking that what I'm eating is really nice, by just thinking as I'm chewing on a pecan nut "this is really nice - this is better than crisps" and things like that so now although I would prefer a packet of crisps or sweets A handful of nuts and dried fruit is just as nice and better for me.

I've also been drinking iced peppermint + strawberry tea which is actually really nice, and peppermint tea is great for cleansing your digestive system and strawberries are just really nice so I thought I'd give you a short tutorial of how to make this lovely drink.

*****

Peppermint + Strawberry Iced Tea

Ingredients ;

Peppermint Tea

Ice

A couple of strawberries

1 - 2 tsp of honey

1. Boil the kettle
2. Make the peppermint tea using the honey
3. Place the cup of tea on a window ledge until it has cooled
4. If you aren't going anywhere, place in the fridge for roughly 30 minuets (more if you think is necessary). If you are on the go, read step 5.
5. Grab 3 - 5 strawberries depending on the amount of tea and the size of your mug, flask or glass and either half or quarter them.
6. Grab 3 - 4 ice cubes and put in a glass.
7. Add the strawberries, then the tea.
8. Leave to rest (if you are on the go just put the lid on the flask and gently shake from side to side or just carry it to wherever you're going and the strawberries should have mixed with the peppermint tea enough) 
9. Once it has rested enough drink!
10. Then eat the strawberries because they taste minty and strawberry-y and nice.

*****

Another thing that I've been eating is trail mix. It's basically a mixture of nuts, seeds and dried berries, and the tropical one is even nicer in my opinion - I just give the dried bananas to my sister (if you didn't know - I can't stand bananas). And a little bag of trail mix is only £1 so it's cheap, tasty and good for you.

Off of the topic of food, I've been a bit of a nonce. I was filming a video for YouTube that I was planning to upload today, and I accidentally deleted my main footage and by the time I'd realized what I'd done, it was 11:30 pm and I couldn't be bothered to set up my ghetto tripod (check out my SnapChat story to understand why I didn't want to set it up again) and get dressed into what I was wearing and re-do my make-up etc etc...

So, on Monday I will be filming today's video, because at the moment I'm with family and I'd rather send time with my family rather than filming a YouTube video if I'm 100% honest. 

Comment if you liked the peppermint + strawberry iced tea and if you liked my first YouTube video. 

That's it

More Of That Social Anxiety Stuff....

Hey!

So my last blog post was about how I have social anxiety and my experience/opinion(sort of) on having it and it got a pretty good response. I'm actually writing this post based on a comment from the last post.

The comment ;

Coba20.5.15

Hello. I am sorry you feel like this and I wonder how long you've been in therapy now? The doctor or therapist who diagnosed you with social anxiety sure tried to help you with coping with situations like this one, right? Maybe you yould make a post about that, about what you learned so far. I'd love reading that and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
letscoba.blogspot.com

My response ;
So, I would like to clarify that I wasn't, surgically diagnosed (if that's what happens), it was actually my school who diagnosed me. It basically all started when I got my first report, the amount of confidence concerns was crazy, and my mum looked quite worried. They kept telling me you need to boost your confidence...so I tried, I went up and signed myself up for a singing competition and some other things round the school, and it didn't work. I think the thing that carried it on the longest was the bullying.

Anyway, moving on a year, my head of year said, do you want to try out this new school program? She said that I knew everyone that was going and all of that stuff, so I said yeah whatever. I ended up going and my chummie who was supposed to be there, wasn't and I had only talked to everyone there, once - most of them I'd only said hi to. So I felt myself panicking and slightly sweating. It got worse because I had to sit in a room with all these people (there were about 5 of them) I had hardly know and hardly spoken to, and I was just like, what am I doing here? How do I get out? How long will I be waiting here? What if someone tries to talk to me etc etc....

Anyway, the lady came in late, all smiles and happiness, and all that, and I realized that I really didn't want to go through a whole hour of her and these people that I couldn't relate to in anything other than the reason that we were all going through this trial session thing that I'm going to call Group Therapy because that's what it basically was. 

So this lady had us all sat in a room and she got us to go around and say our names and something 'unique' or 'special' about ourselves. I got all my words mixed up, went red in the face and had to repeat myself...which was highly annoying. When that was finished, she started talking. She kept this stupid smile on her face as she was speaking, and it really frustrated me. You know when someone is overly happy? That's what she was and it was really irritating.

Anyway, we said all the things we felt had stuff to do with anxiety and stuff and she said that if we had at least 5 of those symptoms you have this kind of anxiety or that kind of anxiety. So indirectly, this random lady who worked with the school diagnosed me with social anxiety. It wasn't that much of a huge surprise and I just wanted the Group Therapy crap to end because she was basically a really happy lady telling me stuff I pretty much already knew.

On the last day of Group Therapy she gave us all wads of paper with stuff to help relax you and other stuff that didn't work. I mean, all to their own - it might work for some people, but it really didn't do anything for me, so my advice to anyone who is going through this but meditating and other stuff like that doesn't actually do anything for them, I'd just recommend doing things that you feel comfortable doing that you think might help. You could Google idea's but don't believe all the stuff on the page because the introduction will probably tell you that you're dying and have 4 hours to live or something ridiculous, just scroll down and look at the ideas in bold (if they're in bold) don't read the other print because again it will say that if you don't do that particular step, you'll get some deadly disease or something.

I hope that satisfied you Coba and ...

Social Anxiety.....woop

Hey!

My hands are really oily, I've over moisturized (is that a thing?)...yeah I found Cocoa Butter cream and moisturizing my hands so typing...is going to be a slight struggle.....

Anyway...on with the post.

SOCIAL ANXIETY
It's one of those annoyingly weird and stupid things that happens to people. I am one of its many victims and it's so frustrating because I'd probably get up and do a whole lot more if I wasn't so socially anxious which leads to awkwardness which makes the anxiety all the worse.

Social anxiety is basically when you feel anxious in big or small groups of people (especially - for me anyway - in a group of people where I only know one person). I get that a lot. I can't stand situations where someone I might have spoken to like, a year ago bumps into me in the hallway and then starts up a conversation. It kind of goes like this ;

Them ; HEY!
Me ; Hey...
Them ; Oh my god it's been so long!
Me ; Yeah...um how are you?
Them ; Good! (starts talking about what they've been doing for about 10 minuets with me throwing in yeahs, uh huhs and really's? where and when necessary)
Me ; Really?
Them ; Yeah! So how have you been?
Me ; Good...yeah...good...yep...errrrrr
Them ; O......k.....that's good....
Cue the awkward silence and me fiddling with either my empty pocket or the edge of my blazer while they start racking their brain for an excuse to leave
Them ; Well...nice...erm...you know...catching up and stuff...talk to you later...
Me ; Yeah (nodding head even though I know that I will do all I can to avoid them for as long as possible)

Yeah...that's pretty much my experience on a weekly basis. I hate seeing someone who I haven't spoken to for ages and they have an interesting life and try to avoid meeting them as much as possible. But sometimes it's even worse if they don't because I feel even more pressure on me to make the conversation interesting but because of my social anxiety I end up mixing up my words, getting a stutter and start fiddling with my blazer or something I start to look like a complete looney who's lost all control over my mouth, words and body as a whole...

And then there are the big groups, where I feel like if I stay silent then I'll just fade into the background, but then when I'm quiet I can hear all my thoughts louder, and for some reason I think that everyone in the group can hear my thoughts and then I think that they're staring at me, which makes me even more anxious and I feel like I don't fit in enough, then I look at everyone and think do I even want to fit in? And then it's like, well it's better than standing out in this situation where everyone is looking at me (even though they're not) and everyone thinks I'm weird (even though they probably don't) and they're all laughing at me together but in their heads (even though they most definitely not all telepathically laughing at me) and that if I go to the toilet, they'll talk about me and laugh about me because I'm this loser, so I hold in a wee that I really need to go for and have to sit or stand awkwardly to hold in a pee, so that probably brings a lot more attention to me than I already had on me, which turns the day out, into a nightmare for me because of my own stupid thoughts.

And talking of weeing, I hate using public toilets because I don't know if I'm a loud wee-er or not but in my head, once I've locked the bathroom door, everyone outside listens to me as I pee and they're all saying things to each other - telepathically like - God can she pee? Or, bloody hell she sounds like Niagara Falls...even though, they are all mostly strangers in a public toilet so they wouldn't be discussing my pee telepathically. So then, to avoid sounding like Niagara Falls, I try and pee more 'quietly' which takes longer, so it's just like I'm having a poo even though I'm just trying to pee silently...

But the most annoying thing about social anxiety is the fact that, I never used to be this socially anxious. It was the end of primary I started having minor panic attacks, and the first week of school I had a panic attack on the bus and went straight home. I think it also had something to do with the bullying in year 7 by this group of boys, funny enough I actually get on with some of them now.

But I love to perform and stuff like that and because of that, people expect me to just get up and say stuff, or get up and talk to groups of people, but performing isn't like that, I don't know most of these people and I don't have to hold up a conversation with them - I know it might not make sense but it's kind of like the focus isn't on me, even though it is. And I don't usually have to be up there for a long time, I just go up, sing and get down. It's not like I have to stay in a group of strangers and actually socialize with them.

It's even more frustrating, because my social anxiety is really ruining any chance that I may or may not have even had with the guy that I like, because the people that I know are just like, "just talk to him" JUST TALK TO HIM? Well sorry, I'd never thought of that before! (I'm being sarcastic of course). But seriously, if I could just go up and talk to him, we could be friends right now, but I'm not, because I have social anxiety. People have even offered to talk to him for me, but I'm also terrified of confrontation, so if they did talk to him he'd probably come up to me, and the version of me in my head would know exactly what to say, but I wouldn't because I'm terrified of confrontation, especially with a boy that I like.

This blog post was longer than I'd expected it to be, I just wanted to share my social anxiety with you because I would really like to get over this social anxiety because it's seriously holding me back from everything that I would do if I didn't have it.

That's it

Butter-Cream Icing For The Birthday Cupcakes...yum

Hey!

So my previous blog post had the cupcake recipe and who just eats plain cupcakes? So here is a butter cream icing recipe that I used on the cupcakes and I think it came out great.

*****

Butter Cream Icing

Ingredients ;

280 g of icing sugar

Just over a cup (140 g) of butter

1 - 2 tbsp of milk

A few drops of food colouring (I didn't have any so my icing was white)

1. Mix the butter until it's soft and creamy (I left the butter out the entire preparation of the actual baking of the cupcakes so the butter was already really soft).
2. Add half of the sugar to the butter and beat until smooth.
3. Then add the rest of the sugar with the milk until it's creamy and smooth.
4. Add 2 - 4 drops of food colouring if you want to.
   
5. Leave in the fridge for an hour or half an hour (I left the icing in the fridge over-night but that was because I wanted to ice in the morning).
6. Decorate your cakes.
7. Put the cakes in a nice box if you're like me and had to give them to a friend as a birthday present. I shredded coloured paper and just filled the box with it and it came out really nice. 
8. Take a picture and give to a friend / family member or just eat them yourself...

I also have new bedding that I won't even be sleeping in tonight because I'm with my chummie tonight, so I can't wait to use the bedding, also partly because it goes so much better with my room compared to my old ones and they just look nicer overall. Anyway, tweet me your cupcake pictures in a box or just a plate if you want to and tell me if you liked them.

That's it

Birthday Cupcake Recipe

Hey!

So, I have been so confused with the amount of birthdays that have been going on over this weekend I kind of forgot whose birthday's was when so I was searching Facebook for peoples birthdays so I knew who to call (I kind of forgot to call everyone)...

Anyway my mate asked me to go to her birthday party and I had nothing to give her ... so I made cupcakes. Here they are...

*****

Birthday Cupcakes

Ingredients ;

Just under a cup (110 g) of butter (softened at room temperature)

Just under a cup (110 g) of caster sugar

2 free-range eggs (lightly beaten)

1 tsp of vanilla extract

Just under a cup (110 g) of self raising flour (I made my own using wheat free flour)

1-2 tbsp of milk (I used almond milk)

1 tsp of baking powder

1/4 tsp of salt

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C / Gas mark 4 and line a 12 hole muffin tray with cases.
2. First crack the two eggs into a little bowl and just put them to one side.
3. So I didn't have self raising flour so I kind of had to make my own. So you basically just need to mix up the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl until it's fully mixed.
4.  Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl until creamy and smooth and nice. 
5. When it's all creamy and nice, beat in the eggs a little bit at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Fold in the flour adding the milk a little bit at a time. (I completely messed up with the milk because I'd read the instructions wrong and added double the milk because I'd also read the butter cream icing so yeah I ended up using double so they came out slightly weird looking...)
7. Put the mixture into the cases (I spooned 2 tbsps of the mix into each case) and put in the oven.
8. Cook for 10-15 mins (I cooked for 30 mins because my cupcakes looked like they were failing). TOP TIP: If you stick a little wooden toothpick or a fork into a cupcake and it comes out clean then your cupcake is done and you can take them out.
9. Leave them to cool for a while (I left mine overnight - but I did start cooking at like 8-ish and finished at 9 or something).
10. Eat. Or wait for my next blog post where you can see the finished result (all iced and stuff) and how to make butter cream icing (yum...butter cream icing).

That's it

That Thing Called A Period...

Hey!

So once again I haven't actually got a tutorial to give you, but you guys seemed to like the SEX?Seriously??? post so I thought I'd do something similar-ish. Yep, I am going to have that period talk with you guys. Now if there are any boys, I'd suggest you don't read on, this is a girl kind of thing...

*****

So...periods. I'm not going to lie, it is one of the most disgusting things I've ever had to go through. They say it's a 'beautiful' stage of becoming a woman. It's not - they were lying completely. It's all blood and other bodily waste that wants to leave with it - whoever said it was beautiful must have either been blind, or just was not right in the head. 

My first period was in school. I was sitting in English and my underwear felt like a full nappy. I thought I had pissed myself. I was just sitting there thinking "how the HELL did I piss myself without realizing?" So I took my bag and asked my teacher if I could go to the toilet and when I got there, to my horror there was blood staring me in the face. 

I will admit I was mortified. I had some pads so I made the best attempt I could to clean up the mess my body had left for me without any kind of warning and put a pad on to try and cover the evidence. I felt like crying. I found my chummie and whispered "I've started my period" and then went to the Welfare and told the lady there that I was technically a woman now and would like to go home. So she let me.

I got on the bus to go home and I don't know why, but I thought that everyone on the bus knew I was on my period and if I got off the bus they'd all piss themselves laughing at me on my period. Don't ask me why I thought that, I don't know how everyone that I saw that day, that I'd never seen in my life before that day, would know that I was on my period - my mind just said "EVERYONE KNOWS" and I believed it. 

I went home and gorged out on chocolate in my bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a Hottie (it's a toy, but instead of stuffing inside - it's a microwavable bag so it's a soft animal that's really warm) and I used my laptop, watched TV and slept, and constantly changed the pad I was wearing for a new one because I didn't want to leak on my bed - even though I was using the night ones that wouldn't ever let you leak if you were awake and using them because they are basically the bottom part of a nappy.

I got the last two days of the week off so I had a long, bloody weekend. I am just going to say, no matter how prepared you think you are for your period, you will never be prepared when it actually comes. 

I hope that my first experience has made you feel better about having a period. Because IT WILL HAPPEN - unless you're a boy...because boys can't do that.

That's it

Oh yeah, any questions you think I can answer or at least help with, feel free to comment in the comments below, and please be nice in the comments, periods can be a sensitive subject for some people xxx

Walks, Boy Talk + Wrestling...

Hey!

Yesterday was...eventful. Me and my chummie went to see our mate, and we stayed there for a while. We ate ham sandwiches and salted crisps, and then I took some mugshots of our mate and then, our mate went to grab my phone but I held onto. Then my chummie joined in with the battle for my phone, and we were all on the floor, wrestling for MY phone. Chummie bit me so I bit her back harder and our mate was sitting on my legs so I started sliding along the floor (taking her with me) and eventually chummie got my phone and deleted my mugshots. So I took her  phone and we started the whole thing again.

Once that had finished we stayed for a little while, but left because we had to walk back to my chummie's house. Me and chummie had lasagna and garlic bread which was nice, then we went on another of our famous walks. We sat in the tennis courts at her local park, and talked about the guys we liked and how we were trying to handle with the fact that they don't even realize how much they mean to us (I know it sounds naive but you probably wouldn't understand), and how we planned to tell them - without sounding creepingly weird or ... weird.

What I gathered from this weekend is that I have social anxiety - particularly around boys that I literally can't explain how much I like, I really like going on walks and I am stronger than I thought because it took both my chummie and my other mate at least 15 minuets to get my phone.

How did you guy's weekend go?

Dough Balls!!!

Hey!

TWO blog posts in one day! Lucky guys aren't you?


Ok, so you see in the last post I said I'd tell you what to do with the excess dough? I think this is a great way to avoid wasting of food and it's the the best way to do it because these things that you can make are SO good! So this is what you're going to do with the excess dough and ingredients from the pizza..
.

*****

Home-Made Dough Balls

You Will Need ;

The left over dough (from the pizza)

Cheese

Pepperoni

Basil

I know some people like garlic sauce or garlic butter, but it's optional)

Left over pizza toppings

1. Take the excess dough and knead it out (try not to handle it too much though, otherwise it will be tough and hard to mold later on)
2. Roll out the dough so that it's slightly thin - but not too thin
3. Get a knife (if you're using a sharp knife PLEASE be careful OR get an adult to help you out) and cut the dough into strips (they can be wide or skinny)
4. Cross the dough strips over each other (you know what the British flag looks like, with all the crossed over strips? Make it look like that - but with as many strips as you want)
5. Slightly press the middle of the cross-thingy
6. If you're using garlic sauce or whatever, I'd brush the side facing upwards, with the sauce so that it's all garlicy on the inside.
7. Put the cheese and other ingredients in the middle of the - thing (you'll only need like a pinch of each thing)
8. Now carefully fold each strip of dough across the middle to make a ball shape.
9. Place on a tray and repeat.
10. You could also, cut out circles and place all the ingredients in the middle and lift up the sides and twist the top so that it looks like a Hershey Kiss kind of thing.
11. Put in the oven for 5 - 10 minuets
12. Instgram, Tweet, Facebook and Pin the pictures and eat.

That's it

Mmm, Pizza......

Hey!

I have been going through some of my older blog post and found a tutorial that I didn't actually put up on Blogger. I made a pizza with my chummie a while ago and I told you guys about it, but I didn't actually write a tutorial of how to make the pizza, or any pictures of the finished product so, here is the pizza tutorial!!!

*****

Home-Made Pizza

You Will Need ;

650 g of strong white flour

7 g of yeast

2 tsp of salt

25 ml of olive oil

50 ml of milk

325 ml water

1. Firstly, mix the flour together. Then add the milk and olive oil to then mix. Then, gradually add the water to the bowl. (Add a splash of water, then mix and repeat until all of the water is finished).
2. Secondly, once the mix can be classed as dough, sprinkle a bit of flour on a clean worktop/table and knead it until it's stretchy.
3. Put the dough in a bowl, and dampen a tea towel. Cover the bowl with the dampened towel and place the bowl in a warm place (me and my chummie used the airing cupboard).
4. Leave it for an hour and a half until it's doubled in size and knead again. (You might not need to put flour on the table, but I'd use a tiny bit, just in case it sticks to the table...)
5. Put the dough back in the bowl with the dampened towel covering it, and put it back in wherever you stored it before, and leave it there for half an hour.
6. Pre-heat the oven to the highest temperature it will go to, and I think it's time to set up your ingredients.

Ingredients ;

Tomato Puree or BBQ sauce (depends on what you like)

Cheese (any kind of cheese)

I used ;

Pepperoni

Tomatoes

Basil

Sweetcorn

1. Roll out the dough into the shape that you want.
2. Put the dough on the tray (I tried to make the pizza on the table and transfer it, to a tray, but it didn't work so I had the kind of restore the pizza on the tray - so make the pizza on the tray).
3. Add the sauce, the cheese and the other ingredients of your choice.
4. Once the pizza is made, cut off any excess dough and KEEP IT (I have another tutorial that will show you what to do with it)
5. Put the pizza in the oven for 10-15 minuets.
6. Take it out for Instagramming purposes and eating purposes.

That's it

SEX? Seriously?

Hey!

Ok, so I've been a really crap blogger - I know. I promise I'll try to be better - next week maybe?
Anyway, as you have seen by the title, this blog post is going to be a little different to my usual type of blog topics....it's about sex.

Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you and me......
I hope I don't get done for copyright.....
Can you get done for copyright for writing lyrics????

Anyway....

Sex, sex, sex, sex, SEX.

Ooh sex. It's a word that describes an act of intimacy between two people - we all know that right? But it's supposed to happen between people over the age of 16 in England (I don't know if it's different in other places or....) but people my age having sex is seeming to be a bit more.....normal???

I don't know if I'm over-reacting, or I'm just not with it...but if my sister came to me when she was my age telling me she'd lost her virginity I'd
go mental.  I guess I'll be old fashioned and wait till I'm 16. I guess I'm weird...because my mates are like "ok if (whoever they like) came up to me and asked if I wanted to have sex with them right now I'd say yes". But if that happened to me, my views of the person I liked, would change completely.


I'm a hopeless romantic anyway so I'm into the whole, romantic walks in the park, and long hugs and neck kisses - not that any of that has actually happened to me.......I WISH!!!!
But yeah, it's not all about the sex for me - obviously I don't want to be the 40 year old virgin or anything - I just don't want it straight away....if you know what I mean.

I know people who have had sex and that doesn't change the way I look at them, I just don't want to be like them and have sex under-aged because what if the condom breaks? I don't agree with abortion but I might have to because I'm not giving birth at age 14, let alone 16. Bloody hell, I sound like some old lady or something, I think. Whenever I say things like that my mates just give me a look like "Who are you?". You know the look.

But yeah, sex is something  that I thought I'd share my opinion on with you guys, and I'd love to know your opinions about sex, losing your virginity and all that other.....sex stuff.....

That's it

Cookies anyone??

Hey!

I've been so busy recently I actually didn't come up with a tutorial or anything for this blog! I'm sorry but I've been so busy I'm barely coping with the stuff that I have to do anyway.

I've been ;

1. Trying to sort out this blog (backgrounds, coding, pictures, gifs, spell-checks etc)
2. Sorting out my YouTube Channel (headers, profile pictures, small print, etc)
3. Filming for my joint YouTube channel (well you've seen it haven't you?)
4. Editing the YouTube video (it took like 15 hours - including sleep)
5. Homework
6. Homework
7. Did I mention  homework?
8. Completing my punishment (that's another story)
9. A whole load of Euro Disney Rehearsals
10. Writing - a lot (a speech, a song, this blog.....)

That might not seem like a lot - but trust me, it is.

But I don't want to leave you guys with nothing so I've found this recipe online for cookies that you guys can try out, take a picture of and tweet me the pic - @kallis_space.

Gluten Free + Dairy Free Chocolate + Coconut Cookies

You Will Need ;

200 ml of oats (like Nairn's or something if you want them gluten free. I think Tesco's own brand are gluten free too... You know what? Just read the label)

150 ml of almond flour

150 ml of unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp of baking powder

A pinch of salt

1 egg 

100 ml of sugar or coconut palm sugar

2 tbsp of coconut oil (melted)

2 tbsp of cocoa butter (melted)

Steps ;

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C // 350 degrees F.
2. In a food processor, finely grind the oats into powder.
3. Mix the oats, almond flour, cocoa, coconut, baking powder + salt in a bowl.
4. Whisk the egg + sugar (in another bowl) until light + fluffy.
5. Melt the oil + butter in the microwave or over boiling water in a pot or something (don't mix with water - if you don't know what I'm talking about, just use the microwave - it's easier and quicker and probably safer)
6. Add the dry ingredients with the oil + butter mixture with the sugar + egg mixture. Add half the flour mix, then add the wet ingredients then add the rest of the dry ingredients (I think it's for a gooey middle - mmm)
7. Scoop out heaped teaspoons of dough - turning them into balls, + place them roughly 5 cm (2 inches) apart, then flatten them gently with a spoon or a fork.
8. Bake them for about 12 - 15 minuets.
9. I'd recommend letting them cool for a bit - it's probably not a good idea to eat them straight from the oven.....
10. Enjoy :) - when they're not too hot....

And that is this Monday's blog post. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures on Twitter and finding out if you liked them or not (you can comment if they're any good in the comments below).

I will come up with a tutorial of my own for later in the week - but for now...

That's it

THE VIDEO IS FINALLY HERE!!!!

Hey!!!

The time has finally come....
Me and my chummie have filmed, edited and published our very first YouTube video together!!!!

Ok, ok it's not on my channel, we made a channel together where we will post videos every now and then. But still it's a YouTube video that should have been made a long time ago....

Enjoy :)



           

I am trying to get my mum to buy me a tripod so that I can make some videos of my own - but she's not too happy with me at the moment so my first video on my main channel may be slightly delayed ....unless my chummie will let me borrow hers.............

Also don't forget to leave a comment, give the video a big thumbs up and SUBSCRIBE!!!!!
Love You!

That's it

Our Blog Family is Growing SOO Quickly!!!!

Hey!

I realized that 1,147-something of you are reading this blog - which is CRAZY!!!

You guys are like a little (well big) blog family-type-thing which is really cool! I mean - 1,147 of you! I'm letting 1,147 people know about my fails at life and stuff...

Wow.

So to kind of celebrate-but-also-because-we-want-to-do-it-anyway - me and my chummie have set up a shared YouTube channel - and we are actually - probably - maybe going to film today!!!
*ooh excited face  ^_^ *

Also - checkout those gif's on the side of this blog - how cool? I might try to incorporate at least 1 gif in my Weekly Favorites (which has actually turned into a Whenever I See Something I Like I'll Put It In The Picture Box Thing, kind of thing - sorry about that by the way)

I don't actually know where I'm going with this blog so I'm actually going to end it here....

That's it

Well now he knows...sort of...

Hey!

Yesterday was great up until about 9:30...

My chummie Facebooked the guy that I like telling him that one of her friends likes him - I gave her the go ahead so that bit was fine. It was when she asked if he liked either of the two friends (me and our other mate) and he said no.

I guess I kind of felt like someone had actually just gone and punched me right in the stomach and then in my chest and then twice in my face. You guys probably think I'm overreacting - but honestly, it's how I feel.

I don't even think I can describe how much I like him with it actually making any sense. And the worst part of it is - he still doesn't have an actual clue of how much I actually like him.

He also doesn't know that I know what my chummie said to him because she told him I didn't know - even though I know. So that's a good thing because he doesn't know it's me who likes him and never will because there is 0 chance that he's reading this blog right now...I think....

Well...I don't actually know how to deal with this situation. I don't know if I should just tell him because that will be a big relief-type-thing and stuff. But if I get horribly rejected - I'm going to have to avoid him for a year or so which won't be fun because I have all the same interests as him so I'll have to just stop doing the things I like to avoid him...

Or I could just not tell him until he leaves school...but it might be too late then, he'll probably have a girlfriend by then and I won't be able to do anything about it...

Anyone got any suggestions?

That's it
