Well altogether on my Spade List I have been able to tick off - Start running again, post something on givesmehope.com, get kissed, meet someone new and make really good friends with them, finish a drawing in art and like it, buy a cowboy hat, drink a can of Blue Bear, win a fight at karate, drive a car, create a blog, www.operationbeautiful.com, overcome fear of other people, make a stop motion movie, cry and do project #365.
I have learnt so much, lost so much, gained so much over the last year. I could write for pages about how much my life has changed since the first of January 2010, but it would take ages, plus I would be getting highly personal. Thank you 2010 for being the best year of my life so far, even though it started out horribly. 
I would write more, but I'm kinda tired. My bad! Good day though.
This is a picture of my sister playing her new Leapster. It's like a gameboy for kids her age. She loves it!
I really like this Paperchase notebook my cousins got me. I'm gonna use to it to keep all my filming notes in... you see I have decided I am not going to the photo a day Project 365 next year, instead I'm going to do Project 52 - a mini video a week! It will be difficult, but I have a few ideas to work with!! :)
Ah Christmas, you definitely have not sucked this year.
Just want to share a song with you - I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day by Casting Crowns. 
Um, I'm excited.
From what they opened in front of me, my friends seemed to really like what I got them! I just hope they'll like the rest of them :) Patrick certainly seemed to like his Converse ^ :)
3 days until Christmas, 9 days until this blog is over... nearly there peeps!
Yes, that is a toy giraffe with two extra legs (he had three but one fell off) and a wizards hat. He is amazing!! He's a magic giraffe octopus! You may wonder why I am so delighted by this. Welll... back in the day (like early November) Leahy and I were bored in private study, so we drew this collectively -
As you can see in the top right corner there is a magic giraffe octopus! Apparently I offhandedly remarked that I wanted one for Christmas, and he said he would get me one. He lived up to his word!! :D As far as first Christmas presents of the year go... this one WINS.
Today school was off again, but being the absolute DORKS we are, Leahy, Michelle, Patrick and I actually went into school to get our schoolbags and stuff, incase school was closed until after Christmas. We ended up shovelling the snow with Matthew, another friend of ours in our year, and it was actually fun! Then we just chilled for the rest of the day! Twas fun.
It's been a lazy day, not done much. Was meant to be filming, but the snow made sure we didn't. Stupid snow.
Check out that winter wonderland!
Today I was shopping in Belfast with me three best friends!! Mainly for eachother... so it was awkward trying not to see what everyone else had bought for you haha! In fact, Michelle ended up taking my bag home instead of hers, and I have hers, so I have potentially MY presents in my room!! So tempted to look... but I won't. But it was a good day, I'm excited for exchanging these presents. 
The X Factor final was tonight! I was at Mich's house to watch it and there was a lot of screaming involved... I don't know why I get so into it! Those clever X Factor people, they have a way of making it seem like its the most important thing in the world!!
This is a camel from the nativity set in my sitting room. What noises to camels make? Hmm..
Well basically it was Jayne's birthday party tonight and I was having a lot of fun, and suddenly for some reason I was lying down and started laughing. And the problem is with laughing when you're lying down is that you can't stop... and so I had a giggle fit and laughed so much that I cried. :D
This is my sister with Frodo.
Tonight we were at Murlough House instead of the Crosspoint Centre, cause we were skyping previous interns. It was great being able to talk to the likes of Bill and Emily again. I miss them!
This is a collection of a lot of letters that have been written to me over the last year or so. But not just normal letters, these are letters that really mean something to me, that are full of words of hope, encouragement and love. There are a lot from my best friends (there is one person who is probably recognising their handwriting quite a bit right now), some from family, and some from some people I only knew for a couple of weeks. Its these letters that I read when I'm feeling sad, or down, or lonely. They make me feel better. :)
So it would seem that today I have taken the lazy option and done the "take a picture of yourself in the mirror" thing. Ah well. I kinda like the colours in it anyway... yay for my gloves!! They're mittens and gloves at the same time, pretty darn cool.
The lighting was really good, so I was able to get some pretty good pictures of people coming down the hill on the sledges without the worry of them blurring or anything. I love this one of Michelle and Leahy :)
Clearly I didn't take the above picture of me and Patrick, but I like it so I'm posting it anyway.
So yeah, good day. Happy one month Patrick!
Been playing this for a while today, it's epic!!! :D I love Pokemon, it's the BEST.
You know what this is? It's a shot of some mugs... you know what that makes it? A MUG SHOT!!!!
I found this heart shaped leaf in my garden, and I thought it was kinda cute :)
