Just Me - Brain Dump #4

Hello everyone!

I thought that today I would do another brain dump. If you don't know how these blog post works, it is just where I offload everything that is on my mind into a blog post. I sometimes also write this posts, when I have really bad writers block, or if I can't be assed to write a really good blog post.

Not that these are not good but... I'll just shut up and get on with it.

Here is today's brain dump!


I feel that my previous blog post, where I shared a cooking recipe for egg fried rice wasn't really liked. Maybe it was too different to what I normally post?? Maybe everybody just likes what I normally post. I feel that nobody liked it because I literally had zero views yesterday. I normally get a couple after I have posted new post, but yesterday... Nothing. So yeah, I don't think that anybody liked it :/. Oh well right? We all learn for mistakes. I would still like to do cooking posts, but if nobody likes them, I just won't post them.

I enrolled into collage last Friday. I all when really good! I have to re-do my Maths GCSE as I only got a grade E, when I need a C or above. I also get the extra help that I need, like having all of my notes printed off for me, as my handwriting is really bad (honest to god - it's awful!) I also get a tutor for maths once a week, to help me.

I'm looking forward to starting collage. I would be finally be doing what I want to do. Media. I did Media at GCSE, but I also had to do other stuff that I didn't want to do. Now it will be all Media! ( plus 2 hours a week of Maths). I start collage on September 3rd. I means that I will be posting blog posts less often. I will still be posting, just not all the time. I will write a blog post next week, telling you about all the changes that will being made to this blog.

I've kinda fallen out with one of my friends. I messages here the other day, and she was being so crabby and so shitty so I  have just started ignoring her. Bye bitch! We will properly be fine in a couple of days haha. We often fall out and then become friends again. We are like a pair of Yo-Yo's. We like each other. We don't like each other. Est, Est.

As my sleeping pattern has been messed up and soon I have to be getting up a 6 AM (which sucks!) I have started taking sleeping pills. Not like ones you have to get from a doctor, over the counter ones that you can get from a pharmacy. To be honest they kinda work but sort of don't work. They say that they can get you to sleep within a hour, but it took me about 3 maybe 4 hours. So they sort of work, just not right away.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post, I think that this was one of my best brain dump posts lol.

Byeeee!

3 Ingredient Egg Fried Rice!

Hello Everyone!

This is a kinda different thing that I want to do with this blog, where I share cooking recipes with you! If this isn't really your thing, that's fine! There will be a normal blog post tomorrow!

To those who are interested in this, thank you! But I'm just saying this now, I won't be doing cooking recipes often, as I'm a really bad cook!

Also, this was rather impromptu, which is why there is only some pictures.

But anyway, here is my recipes for egg fried rice!


Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 70g (1 person) or 140g (2 people) of white rice          
• Frozen Peas

Step 1. Take you 2 eggs and put them in a saucepan of a boiling water. Boil for about 7 minutes, or until you feel that the egg is hard boiled. 

Step 2. Take you hard boiled eggs and wash them under cold water so the eggs are cool. Then remove the egg shells. 

Step 3. Take the eggs and remove all of the white parts until you have just the yokes.

Step 4. Cut the yokes in half, then half again, and again until you have little chucks of egg yokes. 

Step 5. Measure out your rice into a jug, Then wash the rice until the water is clear. You need to wash your rice to make sure there is no bugs or bacteria in the rice (it can happen!)

Step 6. Put the rice into saucepan and cook until the water boils or has froth on the top. Add some salt into the water and stir once. You don't want to stir it a lot as the rice would come out all stodgy.

Step 7. Now take about 1-2 handfuls of frozen peas and put them into a jug, filled with water.



Step 8. Put your frozen peas in the microwave and cook for 1:30 (850W). Then take the peas out of the microwave, stir and then cook for another 1:30. When done drain away all of the water in jug.

Step 9. Put your peas and egg into a bowl, mix until they are combined together.

Step 10. Now the rice should be done. Drain away the water. Put the rice into another bowl and fluff the rice with a fork. Take the peas and egg and mix them into the rice, and your done! Hope you enjoy your rice!










I hope you enjoyed this, even though It's really different. If you made it yourself, I would love to see! Post you pictures in the comments below.

Bye guys!

Just Me - The Bucket List

Hello everyone!

So I don't know if you can remember, but last mouth, I did a blog post called "The Anti-Bucket List" (which you can read here.) Where I wrote about all the things that I hope never happen in my life. Today I thought that I would write my bucket list, which things that I want to do before I die (even though I said I wasn't going to write this. Oh well.) My only ask is that you take into mind, that this is personal to me, so please don't get judgmental about it please! Thank you! Some of the things on this list may be odd or strange to you, but oh well.

So here is my bucket list!

My bucket list

1. Visit Paris.

I have always loved Paris, I love the overall look of Paris. To me Paris has this rather unique, romantic charm. There has been various movies or TV show episodes set in Paris, that are so romantic (An American In Paris, Funny Face & SATC: An American Girl In Paris Part Une & Part Deux.) This sounds very corny but, I would love if something like that happened to me in Paris. I also love the building in Paris, there are so many landmarks in Paris, like The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, The Catacombs Of Paris and so many more. I have never been to Paris, but I would love to go!

2. Learn a second language.

Probably French (as I want to go to Paris, Durr!)

3. Get Married.

Later in my life, I would like to settle down with somebody. But not just anybody. They have to be somebody that I want to spend every single day of the rest of my life with, until I die. Anyway most people want this in life. But not just yet. Let me enjoy myself while I'm young!

4. Become famous (for anything!)

Ideally a singer. I will be the next Mariah!

Probably not, as I sound like a dying cat when I sing lol. Oh well, I just really like the glamorous aspect of being a singer, and the fact that you can put on this really elaborate concerts for people and they will actually want to come to see you sing live! 

5. Let somebody know how much they mean to me.

Actually already done this! But yeah, I just think that It's nice to let the people close to you know how much you appreciate and love them. 

6. Do a good deed without getting anything back.

I would love to give something in need something, just to hear there thanks and appreciation, knowing that you will not get anything back. I just think that it's a really nice thing to do.

7. See the Northern Lights.

They just look so beautiful, It's a excellent display of the beauty of nature. To me the Northern Lights look so magnificent!

8. Learn to play a musical instrument.

I would love to be able to play the piano or the guitar, I would love to be able to play one of my favorite songs on one of them!

9. Go to New York.

I love TV shows like Sex And The City and Friends. I would love to be able to go locations where they were filmed. I would also love to go to all of the New York landmarks, like The Statue Of Liberty, The Empire State Building. I would also like to go to the 9/11 Memorial, to play my respect to all of the people who lost there life's on that tragic day.

10. Get my dream job.

My dream job is to be able to work in the media (TV.) I think that I would feel like I have finally made it in life when this happens, As it is my dream to be able to work in the TV or other forms of media.

So yeah! That was my bucket list, I hope that you liked it!

Bye!

Just Me - A Letter To My 36 Year Old Self

Hi, I'm not dead thank's for asking.

Wow, it's be so long since I have written a proper blog post, and i'm sorry! For some reason I have lacking all motivation to write a blog post lately.

Anyway, I thought that It may be a fun idea to do one of them letters to your future self, and you give your future self advice and stuff like that (you get how it works right?), I kinda feel like adding some sort of humor into it.

I will be writing this letter to my 36 year old self, as that is 20 years from now, and i'm going to make a promise, if I am still using this blog in 20 years time, on 19th August 2035, I will react to this letter okay?

This may be kinda stupid or silly, oh well.

So, here is my letter to my 36 year old self.


                                         

                                       *** DO NOT READ UNTIL 19.08.2035  ***

Dear Sam.

Hello Sam! Why am I saying hello to you like your a different person, I'm gonna start again.

Hello Me! Well future me, hello future me!

I'm writing to you from the year 2015, and may I just say, what HAPPENED. You are like really old!!111!11!!

I'm joking, you don't look a day over fabulous :)

Anyway, I'm writing to you from 2015, to give you advice from your 16 year old self (your gonna need it.) So like yeah, here is some advice.

1. Don't go all crazy about being old. 30 isn't even old, at least your not 40!

2. Whatever you do, do date an asshole, You don't even like assholes remember.

3. Also, don't date somebody who makes you feel like second best. If you do, I will disown you future me! And now, I will give a quote to remember and to take with you, from the Queen Of Pop, Madonna : "Second best is never enough, you'll do much better baby on your own." (I hope you still love this song.)

4. Be a cool parent!

(Are gifs still a thing in the future???)



If you child want's to drink, let them.

If your child want to do smoke or do weed or do hardcore drugs, let them just get on with it.
They want to have sex, let them.

Remember, you have done a lot worse while you were a teenager (The skate park! *Give you a shameful "I'm disappointed you" look*.)

Let Regina George's Mum been your parenting inspiration.


5. Still use GIFS, even if they are hilariously outdated.

You need them in your live k.

6. Keep on being that nicest (and baddest) bitch around, and keep on throwing that shade gurllllll.


7. Keep people who have changed your life in fantastic way, you need them.


8. Keep on writing this blog lol.

To be honest future me, I really can't be assed to give you anymore advice, your on your own gurl.

But seriously, keep on doing what you do yeah!

Love from

16 year old you.


Well that was kinda dumb and stupid. Oh well.

On another note, I get my GCSE results tomorrow. And I'm shitting myself. I will blog about it.

The post will most likely be called "Well, I'm Fucked".

*Sigh*

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just Me - Brain Dump #3

Hello everyone

Another brain dump today, as I have been lacking all motivation to blog this week (sorry not sorry).

In fact, nothing really interesting has happened this week, so this is going to be a very short blog post (again, sorry not sorry)

• This blog is one mouth old today. I'm actually quite surprised that the blog has lasted this long tbh. 
• My laptop charger completely broke. So my laptop was completely dead (I could use this as a excuse not for blogging. But I won't. Anyway I don't like to use the Blogger app, as to me, a paragraph of text on my phone looks like a lot, but looking at the post on a PC, it is actually not a lot of text.)
• From the clothes that I decided I didn't want from my wardrobe, I have made about £40. Quite happy with that.
• I'm going to Exeter on Sunday, to most likely spend all of that money on new clothes, lol.
• I've have been getting into Kylie Minogue and Whitney Houston's music recently. Not a big, important thing, but I thought I would share that with you.
• I watched the season 6 final of Grey's Anatomy... and cried so fucking hard.
• Next week I pick up my GCSE results and enroll into collage.

                                                                          (I'm being sarcastic.)

That's it really. I told you this blog post would be very short. I'm sorry!

I'm thinking that my next blog post would be a music review, but I don't know. It all depends on how motivated I am tomorrow. 

Byeeeeeeeeee!

Update: Template Changes

Very quick update, I have done some changes to the template of the blog. I have added a custom mouse icon, a new maze style background, and just some font changes. I like my blog how it is for the moment, so I won't me meagerly changing everything just yet.

That's all really.

New post coming soon!

Just Me - 30 Lessons I Have Learned From Secondary School

Hello everyone!

So, as I have now finished secondary school (high school) and been enjoying a extended summer holiday for the past 8 weeks, I though't that I would share with you what I have learned from secondary school. I'm also doing this as school as came into my mind again, as I have to pick up my GCSE results in 2 weeks time!

Anyway here is 30 lessons that I have learned from secondary school.

1. Never let somebody borrow your pens/pencils. Even if they are the nicest person in the world, they probably won't give it back to you.

2. No matter how much pens you have, you will lose them all within a week. Same with the rest of your stationary.

3. People are assholes.

4. You will most likely be criticized if your different in anyway. It's funny, that in 2015, people still criticize people who are different. If you dress in a different way, or like different things, you will be criticized for it.

5. If a teacher say's a piece of homework can't be done in one night. They are lying. Anything can been done in one night.

6. Got a 500 word essay to write? It can be done in one night. It will be shit, but it can be done in a night.

7. Revision is rather pointless. It just goes through one ear and out of the other.

8. Every day dragggggggggggggggs on while a school.

9. If you hate school, like me, you will probably be counting down the days until you have a holiday or until you leave for good. 192 days, 191 days, 190 days, and so on.

10. Food from school canteens are:

1. Shit.

2. Overpriced.

11. At lot of the stuff teachers banged on about, was never important, and will never be in my later life.

You don't know how to do your taxes? Well at least you Pythagoras theorem. You use that skill ALL THE TIME, right?

12. School's need to teach more important stuff, such as buying a house/car, taxes and how banks work. Not pointless stuff that "you need to know when your doing _____ or _____."

13. Did I mention that people are assholes?

14. While at school, a minute feels like a hour. A hour feels like a Day, and a day feels like a year.

15. Music like really helps to speed the day along.

16. Doodling in books helps to.

17. A lot of teachers are assholes as well.

18. In 2015 there are still clique's. It's not as defined but it's still there.
Here are some of the clique's at my old school.

• The Hipsters. They love Festivals, alcohol, alternative music, cigarettes, drugs, weird clothing that make's them look like there grandparents and posh boys/girls.
• The Sluts. They love dick. 
• The Man-whores. They love pussy and tits. They also love to talk about all 52 2 people they have had sex with. 
• The Chavs. They love smoking, drugs and pissing of teachers. They will be going far in life, with there BTEC Level 1's in hairdressing and pluming. 
• The Nerds. They love school, sucking up to teachers and nerdy things. 
• People in smaller groups: they like not even worth talking about, they are like nobodys!!!11111
• And finally. People with no groups. Good for you! You like doing your own thing.

Before people ask, I was not in any group. Also no group was ever like the plastics of anything. 

19. Energy drinks will get you through any day. 

20. 99% of people didn't listen in sex education. As clearly shown when somebody gets chlamydia or gets pregnant at 16. #ilistenedinsexed

21. You will forget every single thing your learned in school as soon as you leave.

"Hitler? Like who even."

22. Once you leave school, you will stop talking to people who were your friends. Sad but true.

23. When not paying attention to a teacher, and they decide ask you a question, as they know you not paying attention. Just say that your can't remember the answer or just guess. 

24. You heart beats like a million beats a second when somebody asks:

"Did you do the homework?"

Me: What. 

What Homework. 

"It was set last mouth."

Me: 

25. This. So true it hurts.

26. Sometimes, when the day was just insufferable, I would think: "Maybe if I bang my head hard enough on this desk, I could knock myself out."

27. People are annoying.

"You saw your friend yeasterday, stop fucking screaming."

"OMG move!"

"You walk so slowwwwwwwww."

28. Me when I had enough of the annoying peoples bs.

29.  Monday to Friday = drags on and are so slow. Saturday and Sunday = goes so fast.

Like what even. 

I demand to speak to the professor of life. EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!

30. What ever stuff your going through while at school...

...It will all be alright in the end, trust me. And if you can't wait to leave, keep counting down the days, I will come soon! :)

So there you go! I hope you enjoyed this post. If I have overused GIFS, I'm sorry!

Byeeeeeeeee!

Just Me - Music Addiction

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post today, as I'm with a friend (who's fallen asleep lol.)

I have another confession to make. My name is Sam, and i'm addicted to music.

Like, I know a lot of people say stuff like "I can't live with music."

I seriously can't.

The music on my phone, which is everything that I like and listen to has filled up a 32GB memory card.

Like seriously. I need all of that music.

I listen to music literary all that time, just look at my last.fm. I'm always listening to music.

I seriously can't live without it. I'm addicted.

I love and adore music. I love so many artists and there music.

Just god. If I never had music in my life. I honestly think I would dead.

Every time that I've had a shit day, and just want to ignore the world. Music was there.

Whenever I was board, Music was there.

Whenever I wanted to get up, dance and celebrate. Music was there.

Thank you for being there music.



I don't really know where I'm going with this post.

Oh well.

Hopefully there is a better post tomorrow!

Byeeeeeeee!

RIP Cilla Black

1943-2015

Just a very quick post as its 02:53AM

I have just heard the news that Cilla Black, a British icon, has past away at her home in Spain. At the age of 72. 

For those who are don't know who Cilla Black is. She was a singer turned TV presenter. 

She begin her singing career at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, while working with The Beatles. When The Beatles became really famous, Cilla was hired to The Beatles manger. In her singing career she sang such hits as Alfie, Love Of The Loved, Your My World, Step Inside Love, Something Tells Me (Somethings Gonna Happen) and Anyone Who Had A Heart, Her biggest hit, which was the best selling single for a female recording artist of the 60's, 

You can listen to these songs in the Spotify playlist below.





Cilla, is most known for her TV presenting. Presenting her first show on the BBC "Cilla" in the late sixties led to ITV Saturday night hits "Blind Date" and "Surprise Surprise"

Now, I want to set to how I was introduced to Cilla.

To set the scene it's autumn 2014.

Blind Date and Surprise Surprise had been off the air for years, I knew that she had presented it, and that it was a good program.

Anyway, so in Summer 2014 a trailer for a biopic about Cilla's early life came out. The TV show was to be aired in the Autumn. (By the way, the series is really good! I recommend that you watch it.)

When the first episode aired I was so fascinated. The series stared Sheridan Smith in the role of Cilla, and she was fantastic. I found the show so interesting, as it was about a era of life and music I have never experienced first hand. When I really fell in love was the songs. Smith covered a lot of Cilla's early songs in the series. She is a fantastic singer by the way.

Anyway, when I heard Anyone Who Had A Heart, I thought that it was a brilliant love song. Strong and emotional. After that I had downloaded a lot of Cilla's songs.

Anyway, sorry if this is really rambled. I'm tired.

RIP Cilla, you was a british Icon. Your fantasic Singing atbites, and the warmth of your personalty, which lit living rooms every Saturday night will be deeply missed.

RIP. xx

Just Me - Brain Dump #2

Hello everyone!

Happy August! I hope that your mouth is going well so far.

As (again), I don't really have anything to post, I thought that I would do another Brain Dump today. As I enjoyed the last post, as I liked just offloading all on my thoughts and feelings into a blog post.

So anyway, here is my second Brain Dump!

• My best friend has gone on holiday for a week. So I have had nothing to do. Like at all. It really sucks.
• I've found out when I have to enroll into Collage. August 21st. The day after results day.
• Talking about results day, that's this mouth. I think that I'm really screwed. But I did try my best, and that is all that matters right? As long as I get good grades in English and Maths I'll be alright.
• I've sorted out all of my clothes, and gotten rid of all of the stuff that I don't wear. My wardrobe is the cleanest It's ever been, I will most likely last of a couple of day. Then get real messy again.
• Rain B-roll leaked. Again, this was another really big treat.

Tbh, the only other things that I have been doing is watching Netflix and listening to music

***Shameless attempt at getting friends lol***
If you wanna see what I have been listening to vist my last.fm profile which you can find here.

So that's all really. I hope you enjoyed this Brain Dump!

Byeee!
