POTD
Im acutally really excited to start this in January. I tried to do it about a year ago but gave up after about two months, but this time round I'm determined to see it through.
POTD is Photo Of The Day, this is where you take a headshot of yourself everyday for a year to see how much you change in a year, but it also gives people like Me something to do, plus it will help Me remember what I've done throughout the year, because my memory is very limited, I forget everything.

Secret Santa!
So its Christmas Eve and the usual "Family" meal took place, table for thirty because it involved all of the family friends as well. To start off with I wasn't exactly buzzing because I'd gotten up two hours before we left, I got up at twelve. Not exactly an early bird, but I had been up until two in the morning, got up at ten and just didn't have it in Me to get out of bed so I went back to sleep and My Dad woke Me up so I could get ready in time to go out.
We went to our local pub before we went to the restaurant, get in a round or two. The meal was at three so we got there a bit early I'll list for you everyone that went ( sorry if its long)
-Me
-Mum
-Dad
-Sister
-Dan
-Alice
-Jill
-Gerry
-Ceri
-Glyn
-Jack
-James
-Mike
-Nicola c
-Scott
-David
-Mr&Mrs e ( cant remember their first names :|)
-Val
-Gareth
-cam
-Nick
-Tanya
-Beth
-Ellen
-old/man and woman... Gill's parents I think
-another couple and their child, believed to be cousins with Dan & Alice
-Catherine
-Rachel
-Emily
I think that's it, wouldn't be surprised if I missed someone. So that is basically the Whitchurch group that festive holidays are spent with.
We had our meals and a nice chat before the handing over of presents, revealing your secret Santa, disappointingly I never found out who My Secret Santa was, the present just appeared out of no where, but I had Christmassy socks which I will be wearing tomorrow, a box full of smellies and bathroom extravaganzas and sneakily placed was a little sack of chocolate coins... which I might add you are never to old for.
After the meal we went straight back to the pub OBVIOUSLY!

Christmas EVE!
It is so amazingly crazy how fast a year just passes by. I'm literally freaking out, Christmas Eve is tomorrow, and I still haven't got my Mum something. Not because I don't love her, I adore her. She's just the most awkward person to buy for, as a woman/girl... female I know how tense Christmas is opening presents that you know you probably wont like, and trying your hardest to act like you love it to spare the feelings of the person who gave it to you, knowing it'll be tucked away in your room for the proceeding future.
But I had an expedition in town today trying to get presents in time, obviously with the weather conditions I got in an unexpected workout, bonus!
I spent four hours trudging around town in search for presents, but I just couldn't find anything I know my mum would appreciate so I might just give her money to go out for a meal with My dad, that could work.
I'm the worst person in the world for getting presents, its just such an awkward thing handing over a present, I always feel like an idiot unless I know for a fact they'll love it. Normally I'm a total scrooge and don't buy presents for people for 3 reasons
1) If they don't like it... total waste of money
2) wont get it for the sake of it unless they actually need it... total waste of money
3)getting a present for all of your friends is a total waste of money
I did get a present for all my friends one year but it rinsed My money so much I refuse to buy Christmas presents for anyone other than family and five of My friends, purely for My bank accounts sake.
Its weird how you go through stages of excitement about Christmas as well, when I was younger I used to do stake outs on the Christmas tree to catch a glimpse of Santa but I always fell asleep around midnight and had around two hours sleep, for many years until I turned twelve or thirteen, that's when sleep became a bigger priority, and still is now, but My Sister at 17 came running into My room to wake Me up at five in the morning last year, I really hope she doesn't this year, I'm quite a fan of sleep recently, I sleep between ten and sixteen hours. And if the next switch of excitement for Christmas is 17 then this is My last year to enjoy the lie in.
Christmas time for Me is always VERY traditional, in the sense that the same thing happens every year. 1st of December My Mum puts up all of the Christmas decorations, but only on the bottom floor. Which means they are everywhere, the banister, all the fireplaces, the mirrors, around the top of each room and finally we have two Christmas trees, Oh and she also puts black tape on the windows in a cross hatch and sprays on fake snow. Its quite amazing.
Christmas eve we spend having a lovely meal with the family friends, we do a secret Santa every year between 28 of us, make a night of it by going out. Then Christmas we get up, well my sister wakes everyone up. We go downstairs to the living room, Mum hands out the presents for Me and my Sister, my Mum and Dad exchange presents and then Me and my Sister give our presents to the parents, Mum gets us tidying everything up, and taking our presents to our room before we get ready to go to my grandparents local church for the Christmas service with them and my cousins, the auntie and the uncle. Then its back to my house for Christmas dinner cooked by probably the best cook ever, my MUM! and I know I might be biased but she makes some tasty food.
After that all I do is visit the rest of the family to do the exchanging of presents and eating more food to get nice and fat for the rest of winter.

Oppsey
Right well basically I've forgotten to do this, for well half a year :S and that's never good but it does mean I have alot to talk about.
Basically I have to catch you up from august, Most of it I cant remember, until well a few months ago, really juicy story, cause I know people like to hear pointless things about people's lives and the situations they seem to get themselves into, sooo... Here is a lovely story from my point of view about a certain persons actions, surprisingly it starts in august which is good because this seems to be the only thing that has happened recently.
I'm going to start by quoting a whole poem,
Basically this is what one of my friends was to me, but alot changes over time. Basically getting back to the point of what I'm talking about, this story. In August i was out of the country for two weeks, this is when things shifted... a certain time of sexual encounters lead to all of my future problems from that point, and yes it was nothing to do with me but still, I'm like a magnet to dramatic situations, most probably dramatic people.
But because of this girls antics, with 3 people who are all good friends with each other, had lead to them falling out... UNKNOWN to me cause I was still on holiday ... so knowing nothing after my return I went out with this mate with the intentions of getting really drunk, have a good laugh and stay over a mates, which mates was undecided... I think it was the night of our GCSE results, anyway we went out got drunk went to this mates house, he was suppose to meet us, but after half hour we just turned up at his house went in the back... his house is definitely not hard to get into, back door was wide open...?! But yes we went in called for him so technically we didn't break in :S... got ready for bed, saving the embarrassing details we got kicked out when he came back... I thought this was rude BUT I didn't know anything at this point... everyone else did though. Brilliant.
After getting kicked out we walked back around to his back gate... might as well have tried our luck... didn't go well he bought a Knife out... Great stuff. I got really mad for about ten minutes slapped him across the face and everything, him laughing didn't help calm me down... But he just came out and told me what my horny friend had been up to... at this point it had happened a month ago... I was fuming that she hadn't told me... you do tell your best friends things like this or is it just me? well basically I had to walk away or I would have exploded, being drunk and being put in a situation like that doesn't mix well... but I just wanted to be on my own so I could think of what I should react with... but no one would leave me alone thinking I was distraught or something. Not at all, but I did lock myself in the bathroom for a while to give me space, that didn't work.
My problem is that I'm a massive pushover and i tend to over think anyway so I let alot of things slide, but to clear up what was going through My mind, I didn't care what she had done, it was the simple fact that she didn't tell me... I've known her for over ten years... well basically I let it slide even though I hadn't let it go, we left and I thought like most things it would blow over, But I underestimated her capability of being stubborn and doing nothing to help herself once she gets into a "situation"... I'd had a discussion with her telling her that she can tell me anything and it'll be fine... its when she doesn't tell me that I get pissed... doing that would resolve all future issues we could possibly have... does she tell me anything, Of course not.
People had started to find out, because lets face it teenagers are gossips... nothing stays secret for long, she started falling out with alot of people, but I stayed her friend, along with oh I dont know 5 other people, and she is still really distant with me, said she's break friends with me and another girl to stop "hurting" us... I got accused of pushing her away?! Doesn't take alot to confuse me, but for the life of me I don't know how she got that impressions, and after how long we've known each other she should know I'm not like that, if I have friends I like to keep them.
Well two day later she calls up this girl who stopped speaking to her, to get her to meet, so she could tell her something... unknown to her I was with her so I thought oh I'll go to make sure it doesn't get out of hand because recently they hadn't had the best track record face to face... Turned out my beloved bestie was pregnant, she'd known for a week, two other people knew and she told A ( what I'm calling her cause this is getting confusing, A is the girl she rang up to meet) that day and to be honest if I hadn't gone I wouldn't have known, and I highly doubt she would have told me, she said she tried to tell me the night before BULL! But hey you know good ol' pushover I am I let it slide, even though i did cry about it... gimp I know but I care about that girl and its hard seeing your mate mess herself up like that. Just not worth it... I told her I was disappointed in her, if I'm being honest I should have seen something like this coming.
Because of how she is I started trying to get her point across in a nicer way with people but it ended up back firing and i started falling out with people... so I gave up, I know it bad but I'd had enough of it all the whole thing was stupid... me and my "Bestie" definitely aren't close now, and its only due to a series of unfortunate events, and since I've got un-involved I've been really good, and alot less stressed which is always a plus.
On a lighter and shorter note...

Everyone should have
a friend like you
You are so much fun to be with
And you are such a good person
You crack me up with laughter
And touch my heart with your kindness
You have a wonderful ability
To know when to offer advice
And when to sit in quiet support
Time after time
You've come to my rescue
And brightend so many
Of my routine days
And time after time
I've realized how fortunate
I am that my life includes you
I really do believe that
Everybody should have a friend like you
But so far it looks like
You are one of a kind!
