Hello again, today I'm gonna talk about people who show off about what they've got, especially at Christmas.
Christmas, I think, is bigger than your birthday, well for me anyway. I always get way more at Christmas than my birthday (26th June, take a note). I'm not gonna tell you what I got, cos then that'll just be me being a hypocrite.
Anyway, I got a text on Christmas morning from a girl who calls herself a directioner, I was happy to talk to her but then it went downhill-
Her: OMG i got a ipad!
me: wow! lucky....
her: and i got 1d tickets! YAY
me:really? thats great!
Can you sense my growing discomfort yet?
I'm not saying I'm disappointed in my gifts, complete opposite, I'm over the moon about them, but if you text someone on Christmas day, bragging about your gifts, it'll put you down as a bit of a twat in my books.
Just because you brag about what you got, it will not make you look cooler, or better, or help you make more friends than everyone else, people will just think "why are they bragging and showing off about what they got? Twat"
Lesson for life there, don't brag or show off about what you've got, people will not like you.

Favourite Places
Okay, so the inspiration for this blog came to me when I was thinking that about this time 3 or 4 years ago I was in Hong Kong!
Hong Kong when I went was AMAZING, I was staying in my uncle's MASSIVE apartment with my family, I think it was near the tube station Central? Or not, I can't remember, I remember it was by a tram thing, and I know it was near the Excelsior Hotel? (I remember that because my nan&grandad were staying there) Please comment if you know where I'm talking about and put me out of my misery.
Anyway, my favourite place in all of Hong Kong wasn't in any way outside, no.
It was right by the window of my uncle's front room, looking outside of the ceiling to floor windows on the 32nd floor looking at some MASSIVE jungle/rainforest thing. This is my favourite place because it was so different from the urban sprawl of London back home, and I knew I had never seen anything like it, it was like I was looking into a different world.
Of course I had to be pulled back to reality when I could see grubby little flats out the corner of my eye.
Favourite place number 2- Greenwich Park in London (hosted the equestrian in the London Olympics&Paralympics 2012)
I don't love it because of th part it played in our Olympics, no. I literally grew up there. Almost every weekend since I was little, either mum or dad would take me and my brother up there. I learnt how to ride a bike, a scooter, and my longboard up there. I love how you can walk down the hill and go to the Maritime Museum, thr playpark, Greenwich Market or the Cutty Sark, or go in the tunnel to the Isle Of Dogs.
And the views, are #amazeballs. Right next to the observatory, theres a statue and you can see, literally the whole of London form there- the Shard, O2 Dome, Canary Wharf, etc...
As I couldn't find any pictures of Hong Kong for you, a few from Greenwich Park instead-
Have I convinced you to come and visit London yet? ;)

Its Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas...
Okay, so now I can say I am in a Christmas-y mood, the RE teachers are banging out what the TRUE meaning of Christmas is (something about Mary, IDK), decorations everywhere, Christmas cards (my grand total is 5!), and friends asking what you want (please don't ask me what I want. Then I'll be expecting it and then it won't be fun, okay?)
29. Go out or stay in?
Stay in, although me and dad and maxi might go Greenwich park on all our boards
30. Only get presents or only buy presents?
whats the point in that then?
31. Have lots of cheap presents or fewer more expensive ones?
Hye, I like cheap ones
Anyway, this blog was a working progress of over 3 weeks, thats why it took so long and its late

Merry Christmas! :)
So, anyway, two friends of mine on YouTube posted a video with questions about what they like about Christmas, so I'm going to do a Blog form of that :)
1. When did you start getting excited about Christmas?
When I had to destroy part of Harry's hair on my 1D Advent Calender (I cried) but I get SO excited on the last day of term.
2. Do you still have Advent Calenders?
Who doesn't? How else would I remember all the dates of December if I didn't get to look at One Direction and The Gruffalo everyday?? Do they have Advent Calenders in America? Do they even have Advent?? ITS CHOCOLATE EVERYDAY I THOUGHT AMERICA WOULD LIKE THAT. no offence america, in return, please don't call people from England British. It really gets on their tits, they're English, not British, unless they are all Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish. Get it??
3. What are your favourite christmas films?
Elf and The Grinch. I cannot tolerate The Snowman on the grounds that A) I hate Aled Jones and B) Unless it is Disney, I do not watch cartoons.
4. Do you have any funny Christmas memories?
My aunt Sallie got so excited about there being pork crackling as part of the Christmas dinner one year I swear she almost fainted.
5. Talk us through your typical Christmas day
Wake up normal weekend time (i.e. later than 9 in the morning), wait for dad to come,breakfast, presents, watch all the christmas things on TV, play with the stuff we have, get ready for dinner then watch the stuff on the TV ans then bed. The End. And all the time we are eating a constant stream of mince pies etc...
6. What do you have for Christmas dinner?
Isn't it obvious? Christmas dinner, duh. Turkey (and i have duck as well), potatoes, carrots, everyone else in my family has pigs in blankets but i dont like sausage sooo, broccolli, cauliflower and other stuff that i can't remember and i refuse to eat brussell sprouts on the ground that THEY ARE DISGUSTING
7. Do you have any Christmas traditions?
At some point during the day, I have to go over my nan and grandads to get my presents, but they only love across the road from me so thats alright I guess. Oh yeah! Me and my brother always get new pajamas, and CHRISTMAS CRACKERS! (Note. All Americans, I will link a website that explains English Christmas traditions at the end)
8. Which are your favourite Christmas songs?
I only have one, and that is The Pogues Feta.Kirsty MacColl Fairytale of New York, because the main man sounds so grumpy when he's singing about Christmas and he reminds me of my dad, and I think Kirsty MacColl is very pretty. Also, it isn't like all the other Christmas songs
9. Best Christmas present you have ever received?
Me and my brother both got DS's and a Wii when we were in Hong Kong
10. Real or fake Christmas tree?
Real all the way, it makes it smell proper Christmas-y then. I've never had a fake one.
11. Whats your favourite Christmas colour?
Purple. Many of you may not know, that is a traditional Christmas church colour (Yeah, I've got predicted A in RE for my GCSEs, jealous much?)
12. Stay in your pj's or dress up for Christmas?
Pj's for the presents, then dress up a bit for dinner, methinks
13. If you could only buy one person a present this year, who would it be?
My grandad, probably, I don't feel like I've appreciated him that much and as he's getting older, I want to do something now while I still can.
14. Do you open your presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
I only open 1- me and my brother always get a new set of pajamas to wear to bed, so we have new ones for the morning,and anyway, who would open them on Christmas Eve? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
15. Have you built a gingerbread house?
No, I have neither the time nor patience.
16. Any Christmas wishes?
My mum and dad to be fine and happy with each other.

End Of Term and Christmas Plans...
HALLELULIAH, 'tis the end of term finally!
I'm not sure what a school term is in American, but its the end of a full term at school so we left early for Christmas!
I think this must happen at a lot of schools on the last day before the holidays- forget about actual lessons, just bring in DVDs, food and its time to PAR-TAYYYY!!!
For example, today I had History- we watched Elf, Core Science we watched Brave (because Sir had promised that if the world was ending, we'd party, and if it wasn't, we'd watch a DVD for escaping death), Psychology we watched Derren Brown and his experiments. 'Tis a good time, the end of term.
I must admit, I like the end of term more than Christmas its self? What is wrong with this Grinch! I hear you say, but I have reasons
- Too commercialised
- Its just another day where all the attention is on my brother
- Me being me, I always get the shittest gifts, but I'm still grateful
- I hate Christmas food
- Too long
- A bit boring
- Most of the Christmas specials are shit
But anyway, my Christmas plans? It involves a lot of sleeping, eating mince pies, sleeping, annoying my whole family, and staying at home. And opening presents, of course.
Well, on that cheery note I must leave you.

PRESENT TIME!
Heres something to think about- how often do we have to get up, go to school, come home, before everyone admits its a crap idea?

Go away,no one likes you (no, not you,in general)
Some of you with the keenest eyes may have seen that I changed the template of the blog. Yes, I did. I thought birds in flight was more me.Cos, you know. I'm a bird (girl/woman/whatever). And I like flying.
I'm not sure if this counts but RANT ALERT!! I AM ON A MASSIVE ONE!!
Anyway, topic of discussion- we all have that one thing that we will just say "ER, go away, noone likes you" and if you are a bit like me, you might add a 'retard' or 'd**khead' on the end.
For example, you may feel this way about homework that you have been promising yourself today all week then suddenly its a mountain thats due in tomorrow. Fun.
For me, its that one annoying person in your year that thinks they're so popular and has friends but really, you saying "No one likes you in our group, just go away" seems to fall on deaf ears and they will still hand around with you.
For example, today I got told that this boy (no names will be mentioned) would go to my head of year and complain that I was bullying him.
I AM NOT A BULLY. I KNOW I AM NOT A BULLY. I HAVE CAUSED THIS BOY NO PHYSICAL EMOTIONAL OR OTHER BULLYING.
He was more of a bully than me, I told him that he needed to pull up his trousers and invest in a decent belt because I am sure I am not the only one who is sick of seeing his arse every time he bends over.
we all know someone like this, don't we?
