I hope everyone had a nice Christmas Our family spent the day up at my grandad's house. All in all, it went very well!

I'm dying to get out to take some photographs again especially as both me and my dad are on holiday for another week.
All my dad seems to want to do is go hillwalking though and that's not really my thing seeing as previous experiences haven't gone too well. I'm so cold by the time we reach the summit that I can never push the shutter button on my camera. Not much use, huh?

Haha! We were all playing Mariokart on the wii downstairs for a while. Mum finally bought it for us after I borrowed Alan's for over a month... (He'll probably never lend me anything again XD Sorry Alan!) Anyway, I was laughing my head off at my dad because he has this immense "game face" where the concentration just radiates off him. It's like if he tried any harder, lasers would shoot out of his eyes. He was racing against mum so I don't understand why he was trying so hard seeing as mum always came in last. I wasn't much better actually I hope my "abilities" on the Wii don't reflect my driving in the future. Oh dear...

I've been meaning to post here for a while but I just haven't really got round to doing it.

I'm back at school, which is...getting better! Yesterday, I dropped a class that I was getting all worked up about so I'm more comfortable. Now I'm back in biology and keep getting strange waves of deja vu XD I'm in the same classroom, with the same teacher and at the same table as I was when I did the subject in standard grade and some things just haven't changed. I like it! ;D

Photography...well, I haven't really been out to any nice locations since the holidays. I've been taking portraits (some are in my gallery) for my Advanced Higher Art unit, I'm using some of them as references and I'm thinking of taking my camera into school to get more on Thursday since I won't have anything else to carry on that day. So yeah, that could be fun.

I mentioned in my last journal that I was moving my site and looking for a new domain name. Well, that's all done and dusted now so you can take a look if you want. I'm still working on a main page, so right now the index just redirects to the forum

I installed wordpress on it the other day too but I'm still dabbling with it. I might start blogging on it yet!

Other than that...nothing much!

Well, Mammy kindly bought me a new subscription browsing is much easier now but for some reason can't get journal css to work - the preview won't update for me.

Anyway, last week was a fairly good week My parents were off work and we got fantastic weather for the first time this summer. I uploaded some photographs that I took when we were in Lossiemouth. I'm tempted to show you a photograph of Claire, she looked like a lobster when we got home, I don't think she'd be pleased about that though! I got a slight tan, but I still look ill white when compared to my aunt!

Another day at the park yesterday, we got a good day too. I took my camera but ended up barely using it, which was slightly annoying after carrying it around all day. My sister moved out too, I had no idea and got a surprise when I came home. I knew she started packing but I didn't realise it was all in one day. I walked in the door and mum goes "You missed Claire." I just looked at her puzzled, "So...? Where'd she go?" Awh, I'm such an idiot. "SHE'S MOVED OUT!"

Well, I might need a bit of advice here: I'm scrapping glitter-graphix.com (but keeping the forum) and buying a new domain for the forum and personal use. Thing is, I need to think of a snazzy new name quick - nothing restricting but something that just sounds good Any ideas?

Ah well, I gotta go - Claire's visiting! (Haa...that sounds so weird now!)

Heh! I just realised I was getting used to that old journal entry that's been stagnating for the past month or so, almost like it was a piece of furniture.
Anyway, it's gone now and so is my subscription...Awwwwrhh.
Back to a dull old journal for dull old me

So, it's the summer holidays and so far nothing much has happened.
The kittens have been homed and I was sad to see them go this week. You get so attached to them all but they just grow so fast. We still have Skye (who we're keeping) and Benson (the big chunky one!) who's staying with us for another month until his new owner comes up to take him all the way to Oxford!
Other than that...hmm - I cut my finger with the potato peeler today? Ouch.
Heh! Hopefully I'll have more to say next week. My parents (and maybe my sister?) have the week off work to do "holiday" things. I'm thinking of it more as a week without childminding kids running around the house or a week where I can actually get some solid sleep without being woken up early each time one of them gets up for work. Ach naw, I'm hoping it'll be good. We might be off to Skye again, basically we're just doing days here and there, going nowhere too far. I'll have my camera with me and hopefully I'll be able to take something that I'm happy with.

Arrrr Art...Our teacher wants us to fill an entire sketchbook. I can't seem to fill an entire page with anything I'm happy with. I have a bad habit for tearing the pages out too so I'll probably be handing in a very thin sketchbook with like 2 pages at this rate. Mehh
