Yet another meme stolen from in_vulne_rable:
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.
Don't have 8 friends on lj, I'm a bit sad to be honest, anyway...
Bought myself a gorgeous gold eyeshadow from MAC, just to get over the trauma of trying to buy my brothers christmas present when all he would do is bitch about it. I love my makeup...

Just discovered that some sick fuck decided that it would be a good idea to americanise "Life on Mars". It is terrible, there is only one "Life on Mars" and there is only one Gene Hunt. He is an obnoxious Mancunian, nothing else.

Akatsukis Agenda
Chapter 7- To Konoha
Early the next morning Ame waited in the kitchen for Hidan. As usual he was late, Ame sighed, they lived in the same building yet even then his timekeeping abilities were terrible. A few minutes later she was joined by Kisame.
“Hey, are you okay?” He asked, clearly surprised that she was still here

Today I got my library research paper returned to me. In most classes no-one failed yet no-one got 100%. In my class no-one failed and a couple of people got 100% AND I WAS ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!! On the basis of grades I'm one of the top of my year, for the first time ever I have got top marks and actually beleive that I'm capable of doing something with my life and it feels amazing. Ms Mediocrity is in hiding and my academic record looks good for once. Nevertheless, I can't allow myself to slip, this was easy (although alot of people got marks in the 60's) and only counts for 10% of the overall grade so I have to work hard and do well but I really needed this and I'm so happy.

CHAPTER 6: A New Purpose
Six months had passed since Ame had arrived at the Akatsuki. On the whole she had enjoyed her time there despite feeling a little homesick she had settled in well. In that time she had become a trusted subordinate of the Akatsuki and had proven herself to be capable and hardworking, enjoying her job but finding that it was not particularly challenging and she was still unable to shake the feeling that this was not the main reason that they had gone to the trouble of bringing her to this world.

Had a bit of a shit day today, I went for a job interveiw for a job I REALLY wanted but when I got their it turned out that the position had been filled earlier on in the day and that I had missed the call to say so. I was quite gutted. Got a letter from the cinema saying basically thanks but no thanks, was quite depressed but as my mum pointed out I'm 23 so they'd have to pay me the the full minimum wage whereas if they got 16 year olds they could get it much cheaper. I suppose they are quite shortsighted, I could probably do most of their jobs with ease. If youre cheap enough to hire some kids to work for peanuts, you arent going to have a very reliable work force as soon as something more a bit more glam comes up (clothes, shoes etc) even if the pay is much the same, theyll be off. I feel so old, even compared to people my own age, it's horrible and does little for my confidence.
I'm so sick of being me.

I won in court again the judge dismissed his attempt to pay back £20 a month over 3years and 6month (Iknow! he must be fucking joking...).The judge hated him as soon as she set eyes on him (attempting to pervert the course of justice, lying to the court and disobyeing their orders doesnt go down well it would seem). She asked where the deposit was and he said he spent it so she dismissed his case and ordered him to pay an extra £110 which we had to spend trying to enforce the order and then she finalised the charging order, meaning that if he sells his house he has to pay us before he can get any of it, if he gets made bankrupt (highly likely now that he owes us more than £750 and is trying to avoid paying despite having the money, and in England they announce bankruptcies as a matter of course in the local newspapers meaning EVERYONE knows, it also means we can ask the court to force the sale of his house). His skanky girlfriend turned up to the court in cropped combats, a tank top and converses despite having atleast trying last time, seriously she looked like she was going for an appearence on Jeremy Kyle not , in a court. I mentioned this to my Mum and Dad who thought it funny. Givent that we felt confident we were in good moods, which infuriated them. Bizarrely when trying to find the court Mum couldn't find the case I understand the confusion as it was filed under Connelly v Masters not Pwner v Noob.
Anyway, been investigating Lasik eye surgery and hope to get it in early January since I'm wanting the more advanced type I need more money but since I will have to sacrafice my eye make up for about a month I should save on mascara and stuff ;-p. I wont need glasses and this means my purple glasses wont clash with my lipstick, which is good.

I have a load of make up here that I want rid of but given that I've only used them at the most 2 or 3 times I'd feel really bad about throwing them in the bin, so if anyone wants them let me know. There is nothing wrong with the products (the Estee Lauder "Candy" lipstick looks bad but that is because I had the stick wound up too far at one point and it snapped but is otherwise fine) and the packaging of a couple of things look worn due to being crammed in my make up bag for ages.

Well all the most intresting things happen here in the middle of the night.
At 2.30am yeaterday there was 4 fire engines, 2 police cars and an ambulance outside one of the houses across the road for over an hour and a half before they were gone. So I basically spied on them, since I am an insomniac and a very bored one at that, admittedly I didnt see very much since there is a row of trees in the way but, it beat lying in bed staring at the ceiling wishing I'd fall asleep. There didn't seem to be any fire or smoke and there was nothing happening there today, but my brother heard someone shouting at someone else not to throw water on it so I am assuming that, it was a chip pan fire or something.
And the police are 2 doors down just now. Two weeks ago there was police and an ambulance there for ages and the police have been back and forward for the last hour or so. I noticed because someone was knocking at the door (it was 3am- not a normal time for visitors) and had just got my brother down since I'm in the middle of a messy court case which goes to court again next Friday (The judge found in my favour and he's been bad mouthing me and my family when he was in the wrong, bastard) and I thought it might be him, if so I wanted to ensure that I had a witness to say that I didn't beat the living shit of of the bastard, but I digress anyway I stuck my head out of the window to tell whoever it was to fuck off the now and come back later, turns out it was the police.
This is how sad my life is I can't sleep and I spy on my neighbours as a result. This sort of thing happened where I grew up all the time but everyone knew everyone else and no one could could move without people finding out and while it wasn't something you necessarily spoke about in the street, you'd go home and you'd talk about it with family and friends then act as if you had never heard a word. Everyone knowing everything is very West of Scotland, pretending you were oblivious is quite middle class. Edinburgh people genuinely try to know nothing about their neighbours and tend to act like a Scottish suburb of London or something. Glasgow is a hybrid Highland/Gallowegian/Irish city where the great Scottish tradition of being nosey live on and thrives (its full of Scottish grannies, they know everything- my gran does anyway). I kinda miss how in your face Glaswegians can be, now I'm in a village in the "Heart of rural England" as the counties sign posts say where no-one really knows anyone (this is a newer part of the village- well these houses are anyway) and gossiping like that doesn't seem to be as socially accepted as it is in Glasgow so there is only speculation.
Still, I will be moving home to Glasgow next year and hopefully to New York City two years after that (I have plans...).

Okay, I really really want to move to New York but the question is how do I manage it? The process seems really complicated and I don't think I'll get a visa which will completely bugger up my chances of emigrating which I don't think I could stand.
I have also resolved to lose the weight after seeing how happy my Mum was at the prospect of seeing me graduate in that outfit in Vivienne Westwood that I like. The fly in the ointment will be... actually getting the grades I need to graduate. I will also improve my chances of getting into America if I have a degree.
Feeling depressed at the prosepect of the thing I have wanted ever since I was a little girl not ever happening and to top it off my back has been killing me since yesterday. I could seriously cry...

It was absolutely boiling here today I swear that I almost died when I went outside.
I got turned down for the kitchen porters job as I expected I would but I'm still kinda disappointed about it. Still fingers crossed for the cinema job.
I wrote more stuff for that community it is meant to have the phrase piece by piece, I'm not sure it is any good, I doubt it but still..

Mhairi surveyed the damage. Shards of broken mirror sprayed all over the floor, glinting brightly in the harsh winter sun which shone through the window, illuminating the usually dark room. ‘Seven years bad luck for breaking a mirror’ she thought as she stooped to pick up the broken pieces from the hard wooden floor. Behind her she heard footsteps and she craned her neck to see her grandmother standing in the doorway.

sleepy22 July 2008 @ 03:46 am
I have been looking at photographs of myself from the age of 16 starting with my passport photo right up to the most recent ones. I have since come to the conculsion that :
1) I should have the fringe and hair cut I have,
2) I always wear make up, and this is a good thing
3) My cheekbones are more pronounced now than they were when I was 16 although, I weigh considerably more and they were better when I was 16 than they were in between, which is a bit weird.
4) I look less like a miserable girl now, than I used to.
5) I shouldn't have my hair curled then put up a la the prom it is very bad in a 1980's sort of way.
6) MAC cosmetics owns.
I'm really bored right now. So much so that i have noticed that I can see my collarbones again and I'm very happy about this.
16 July 2008 @ 11:21 pm
I have lose 1st in just 30 days! So that's 3ins off of hips, 2ins off my waist and 0.5ins off my chest I am so pleased with this. I have had a couple of things I shouldn't have and since my mum was in hospital I haven't been walking for about 3 weeks but am getting back into it and at this rate will be my target size by Easter or Graduation, next July at the latest.
Have been applying for jobs and have had an interveiw for the new cinema which is due to open in September and have applied for a load of stuff and hope I get something, the local Lidl pays £8.90 an hour so i hope I get the job there, but to be honest I'd be happy just to get a job and will do fine if I can get all those hours, if I get a job I will spend so much of my free time at the MAC make up counter like I did before I went to Denmark, I must have new eyeshadow or I will cry...

Akatsukis Agenda
Chapter 5- Making Sense
When Ame awoke she could scarcely recall much of what had occurred before she had fallen asleep. At 9 am she decided to get up and get dressed and see if anyone else was awake and try to discover more about this world and more importantly her new housemates. Deciding not to wander around the vast base she headed straight to the kitchen hoping that there would be someone there. As she entered she saw Sasori arranging a number of small bottles filled with different coloured liquids on a small tray.

Chapter 4: The Reason
Kisame pushed open the door to the Leaders office
“I’ve brought Ame to you”
“Send her in”
Kisame pushed the door open even further so that she could enter.
“You’ll be fine” he whispered as she cautiously stepped into the room. The office was large and filled with scrolls, books and papers reminding her strongly of the rector’s office at her old school only much messier and disorganised. She approached the desk and stopped behind one of the chairs.

The Akatsuki’s Agenda Disclaimer: I do not own the Akatsuki or any other Naruto characters that belong to Masashi Kishimoto and I am not making any profit from this.
Chapter 3: The Base
Ame woke with a start thinking she had just woken from the strangest dream. As her eyes adjusted to the dark, she realised that the events of last night were not merely a figment of her imagination and that she was indeed in the “Naruto” world. As this realisation hit her, she turned over with a groan silently cursing the Akatsuki. She glanced at the clock beside the bed and saw that it was already past 9 and that someone was due to show her around. She was unsure how exactly to respond to this, since no time had actually been set and if she kept them waiting, would they be pissed off? She disregarded this since, after all, it was their lack of planning that was to blame, not hers. Then again they were S-ranked ninja criminals… She spent the next 15 minutes debating what she should do before finally getting up and having a shower and getting dressed. An hour and a half later there was a knock at the door and she opened it to find Kisame grinning at her exposing his incredibly sharp teeth.

Chapter 2: Arriving at Akatsuki
Ame opened the door and stood back to allow the two men to enter.
“You’re late. I do not appreciate being made to wait on anyone” Sasori, sounded a bit pissed off at the two.
“Is this her?” the taller of the two spoke, ignoring Sasori.
“Yeah, that’s her” Deidara replied. Both of the newcomers looked at Ame, making her feel very uncomfortable, particularly the younger man although he looked calm enough.

Dsclaimer:I don't own the akatsuki
The Akatsuki's Agenda
Chapter 1: Things that go bump in the night
Ame woke with a start, she felt like something wasn’t quite right. She looked around her bedroom, while nothing seemed to be out of place she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was someone in the room with her. Cautiously she reached for the golf club she kept between the bed and the nightstand and switched on the light. Nothing. Carefully and quietly she searched the wardrobe and turned out the light before stepping out into the hallway, if there was anyone in the flat she didn’t want to make it obvious that she was awake and moving around. If anything it was likely to be a couple of neds or junkies turning the place for anything of value to sell, regardless she did not want to be at any more of a disadvantage. Losing some of her possessions would annoy her no end but being murdered in the process… ‘No’ she thought, becoming the inspiration for an episode of ‘Taggart’ was not on her list of ambitions.
She checked the flat and finding nothing she entered her kitchen and switched on the kettle. She sat the club down on the counter and started to make some green tea to steady her nerves. She sighed as she considered that her parents had been right and this area was just too rough for a woman to live alone in. Ame had little time to ponder this.
“Jumpy aren’t we, hmm?” came a male voice from the door.
