I know that I haven't been so up-to-date with the blogs, but please keep in there. I will try my best.

The Sheep Pig

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I discovered today a pig that has the coat of a sheep. Obviously they have been around for a while but I never knew they existed. It's quite fascinating! They originate in Hungary and a breeder has given a few to our English zoos, so they have hit the news all over the country about these 'Shigs' or 'Peeps'. Seeing these photos has put the largest smile on my face. It has made my day.

Never Replied.

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


Ever since I went to Glasgow for a conference, I have been sending emails to this guy almost every day. Just chatting about random stuff, and really getting to know each other. It was something that cheered me up in the morning, reading his email. It sounds sad but I loved reading them. But I sent my last email a couple of days ago and he has not sent me one back. I am quite disappointed! I really hoped we could still keep in touch and now he hasn't replied. I don't want to seem eager and send another email asking if he got my last one. So all I can do is waiting patiently by the computer in the hope of a following email, or just admit that maybe he just doesn't want to keep the contact.


Did I scare him off? Far, far away? I don't know. Clover Clark. xxx

The Silent Treatment

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


Don't you just hate the silent treatment? Don't you hate it more when it comes from your Mum? Well, I'm going through that crises just now, as my Mum and I had an argument yesterday and now she is not talking to me today. Wait, tell a lie, she did talk to me this morning... she said "I'm moving your stuff coz I need to vacume". Wow, good morning to you to Mum!

Parent's Evening


Dear Fellow Bloggers,

I don't know what it is with Parent's evening, but you think that it'll be fine, and then suddenly... at the last minute, you think that the teachers are suddenly going to list off all the bad things about you, and snitch on you to your parents. That did NOT happen today thank God! But I also get so nervous about it and feel that I want to cry. Even when the teachers predict you an A in a subject... I still feel really nervous and shakey! Is it just me?

Though I suppose it will be sad, not EVER going to have another Parent's Evening, that will be my last one, now that I am going to Uni this year (think positive, I will go to a University!) Clover Clark.

Love, Money and Religion.

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I'm sick and tired of people looking down their nose at me when I tell them that I want to do Theology as a degree. Love, Money and Religion are the things that make the world go round. So if I have to put up with a person's comment about Theology one more time!!! I think I'll scream! Especially when they think they are better than me.

Stress is a funny thing.

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


Not so long ago, I received my results from my exams and did exactly the same as last year, which means that there wasn't any point in re-sitting the exams in the first place and wasting £40. Not only that, but I will be re-sitting an exam again, spending another £20 and doing an extra exam in the summer, just so that I can get into the University that I want. I don't understand how I do so badly. Well, it's not rubbish but it's not great either (if you know what I mean).

But I haven't written a blog since forever as well. It's just not on! But if I look on the bright side, it's Mother's Day today, and at least I didn't forget like I did last year. I bought Mum some flowers, and so did my twin brothers but he out-did me with chocolates and a card! Ugh! Though, he didn't even buy them himself, he got our Nanna to do it. It shouldn't be a grandmas job to buy her daughter a mother's day present for her grandson... confusing? Yeah!

So, I came back from the French trip and had a great time. I didn't get murdered which is all good! It won't be long till my french partner comes over to England, and it will be great. Though I don't really know what to do with her... as in trips and stuff. We'll just have to wait and see. Clover Clark.

Friends

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I had a good day at school today, and all because I stayed away from my friends. It's come to a point where I just cannot stand to be with any of them. As a friend that all of them trusted (and some still do), they told me all their secrets... and I never told anyone because I soon forgot about their stupid secrets. But I never realised how two-faced they all were, I would have friends talking to me about another, everyday, and then pretend that nothing has happened and talk to the person they just slagged off and slaughtered about a min ago. It's ridiculous! I cannot stand to be around them, because then I think, are they being two-faced to me? So now, I see them and talk to them when I feel like it, and spend most of my time in the library and study for my exams. After all, this year is important and I cannot go to Unis and say 'I know I failed, please let me in, it wasn't my fault, my friends were annoying me', they won't be interested.

The French Exchange


Dear Fellow Bloggers,

On Thursday, I will be going on a French Exchange, organised by school. I am so nervous yet excited at the same time. I'm nervous because I have never met this person in my life, she could be a crazy person, a serious killer?!? But, I'm excited because I will be going with all my other school mates and it's a great chance for me to improve on the language. After all, it is better to live there than to just learn from the text books. This is my first exchane, it's so scary! It'll be fine, I'm sure, but she lives really far away from the school and city centre, like 40mins - 1 hour away (depending on the traffic). And I get bad travel sickness! Oh dear!

Nazis were Nutty!


Dear Fellow Bloggers,

What made me laugh today, was my brothers pronunciation of the word 'Nazi'. He was watching an old 'Wonder Woman' programme and saw that the Nazis had kidnapped W.W and were wanting information from... blah, blah, blah. But whilst my brother was telling me the story, he was constantly saying the word 'Nazi' as 'Nutsi'... like nut-si. It was so funny, ane he got really mad whilst my Mum and I were laughing at him (bearing in mind, he was already mad about the whole Nazi thing anyway, so we made things worse by mocking him!)

That's it, just thought it would be fun to tell you guys, oh... and the Mika concert was great!!! Clover Clark. xxx

Get ready to love today as the big girls are beautiful!

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I am going to see Mika tomorrow at the arena in Sheffield. I'm so excited, I saw his first concert 'Dodgy Holiday' tour in 2007, and I am so excited for his second tour tomorrow. Once again, it'll be standing but I'll have to force my 5ft 3 self all the way to the front like I did last time. Should be great!

3 in the Bed

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


My Mum and her partner are in bed on a Saturday morning, I've made them both a tea and hot chocolate, now I've joined them in the bed, with my laptop and on Youtube. As they had a mini-bet of the lyrics of the old 'Fairy Liquid' advert. Whether it ended with 'as soft as your face' or 'as soft as your nose'. Well the right answer was 'face' and now her partner owes Mum a King-size Mars Bar.


What a wonderful way to spend a lie-in, with your mixed family, winning bets with Youtube.Though, her partner is now wanting to listen to old music which I've never heard of, such as 'T'pau, Joan Armatrading and Walkers Bros'.


Now I'm gonna go and have some breakfast and take a trip down to the Cinema or maybe baking cakes in my ridiculously small house. Clover Clark. xxx

Anger is a funny thing.


Dear Fellow Bloggers,

Anger is a funny thing. Why? It makes yourself fill up with tons of emotions, from loathing to sadness. There are different types of anger. Like the anger you have when you've spent ages making a cake and it tastes like rubbish. Then there is the anger that you feel when someone has cheated on you. They are all different. But, I find, Anger doesn't seem to connect with any other feelings nor your perspective on things. You could love + hate someone at the same time. You can hate the thought of someone being around you + want to still be their friend. It is a whole different emotions with no strings attached. Don't you think it's bizarre?

Homework

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


At the moment, I seem to have had tons of homework, every teacher thinks that their lesson is the pupil's priority and therefore sets a lot of work. But then, by the end of the day, you have far too much work and not able to do it all. Which then makes you unmotivated, because you look at the work-pile and think, I can't be arsed!


So, instead, I thought to post a little blog before started the evil-sinister-pile of homework. Wish me luck! Clover Clark.

How to celebrate becoming an adult.

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


It's my friend's 18th birthday party this sunday, and how is she celebrating it? Well, her parents have hired out a room in the cinema, and the party lasts from 5 o'clock till 8pm. On her 18th?!?! With Pizza and Pop, no alcohol! Not only that, but her younger sister is going, who is about 14 /15, with some of her friends!!! So none of us 'adults' can get THAT wasted because the younger ones are there, at a party that is from 5 till 8. It's such a loser fest! I can guarentee that my friend won't drink, and why? Not because it is bad for your health, but her Mum will be there keeping a very close eye on her daughter. It's so stupid! She is still being brain-washed by her parents, so much so, that her bed in her room, still has the slide attached in the top bunk. So, in the morning, she gets that extra kick when sliding down her own slide every day. C'mon guys, surely at 18, you can go out drinking and remove that god-damn slide from your own bed. I mean, we are even old enough to go to Uni this year... that bed with the slide won't be able to fit in a dorm!!!

Home or Away?

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I've come to the decision that I am (most of the time), unhappy at home. It isn't an exaggeration. I think I'm ready for the next step. I am ready for Uni, so ready that I can almost touch it. But one of the best Universities in England is right on my doorstep, so me 'moving away' would be such a waste. Don't get me wrong, I have applied for Unis in other places, but none are as good as the one in my town.


That's my dilema, do I go away and be more happy with a not-so-good Uni. Or stay at home, pretty unhappy with my Mum and brother, but go to the best Uni in the area?

I haven't written a blog in ages!

Dear Fellow Bloggers,

I haven't written a blog in a very long time. I think it is because the power of 'Facebook' has taken over me, and I know that I said I would never turn to 'the dark side'. But I did make a facebook account, and now I am afraid to say that I have become addicted to it. It's pretty shameful! So that has been taking up a lot of my time.


Not only that, but there is the usual family problems which, I argue with myself, I should sort it out or leave it the way it is. Decisions... decisions...


But also, I have had a lot of exams, since it is that time of year, and I have been sorting out a lot of things for Uni. I cannot believe that this year, I will be going to University, either home or away. It's really scary!


So, I haven't done much, but I will find some weird and wonderful topics to talk about soon. So, see you soon Bloggers! Clover Clark.

Have you seen a ghost?



Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I will admit that I do not believe in ghosts; I never have done. But I do have a lot of friends and family members who believe in them, or in fact, have seen a ghost in their life. Either an old woman, who had passed away, still haunts a house with her spirit or, a murderous man died and takes his revenge on the living. There are far too many stories to write down, but do you believe in ghosts? Shows like 'Most Haunted' make a fortune from their haunted stories and visiting of ruined castles... but is it simply a money-making success or based on the truth?

Thanks, Clover Clark.

Fundies

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


'The underwear built for two', It sounds gross and (let's be honest) what would you after you and your partner are in them? If you exclude the obvious answer, you are just going to be stuck on to someone, in a very awkward position. I know that you and your partner are meant to be close... but that is TOO close, don't you think? It's hardly romantic, not to mention, a little bit weird!


Thanks, Clover Clark.

Is the Pope a catholic?

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I cannot stress out how shocked I was when I saw this! Pope condoms, with "I said no!" on them. What on earth?!? Don't get me wrong, I do find it amusing, but whoever came up with this idea must either be a real Satan follower, or a Christian with a good sense of humour.


Thanks, Clover Clark.

This carrot is suitable for vegetarians


Dear Fellow Bloggers,

You'll never guess what I saw in the shop the other day. Whilst walking around Sainsburys, this woman had stopped me in one of the aisles and said 'Is this carrot suitable for vegetarians?'. I thought to myself Is this a joke? Honestly? You must be joking!. It was a couple of carrots in a packet, nothing more, nothing less. So I turned around and replied 'Ummmm, yes, it is. Why do you ask?'. She wore a smart suit, looked like she worked in an office, a woman in her 40s. She then said 'Oh yes, of course, silly me, it says right here on the back" and then she shuffled off in her high heels. So then, I took a look at the packet when she had turned the corner and on the back of the packet of carrots, it said 'These carrots are suitable for vegetarians'... What is the world coming to?

Cat or Man?


Dear Fellow Bloggers,

Just like my last blog about the Lizard Man, I am now looking into the Cat Man. He doesn't look as good as some comic-book sinister character... but he still looks quite impressive. With a tattooed tiger print on his face, teeth sharpened to give that 'wild' look and altered his upper lip took give the appearance of a feline. When he doesn't wear his whiskers, he has his piercings in to stop the holes from healing.

He makes a living from his work, and thinks of himself as a professional, and why wouldn't he? He has been an several tv shows all around the world, and he is making a mint from it. Good on you cat man! We'll be watching!

Clover Clark.

Lizard or Man?

Dear Fellow Bloggers



I've known about the Lizard man for a while now, I'm sure that several other people have seen and have heard of him too. But I thought to write a blog about him.


Some people believe that they are trapped in the wrong body. Men think they are women, women believe that they are men... is it the same with the Lizard man? That this man believes that he is trapped in the wrong body?


You can join him on twitter, follow his blog, and you can even buy his book. I would love to have an interview with him. It would be awesome... but anyway. He has had his body tattooed with the appearance of scales, his tounge lasered... or 'trimmed' to make it look like a reptile's tounge, and sharpened his teeth. You have to admit, he has put a lot of work into his appearance. I mean, if you want to look like a Lizard, you must go all the way... and that it what this man has done!


As much as I think it is strange, I don't think that he deserves a lot of the criticism that he gets. If he wants to become a lizard, then people should respect his wishes, and quite frankly... he has made quite a bit of money from it and publicity! So who can blame him!

Avatar was not original



Dear Fellow Bloggers,




The moment I watched the new film Avatar, I knew that James Cameron hadn't originaly come up with the idea. He said that he had first invented the idea before his film 'Titanic'. That's around 1994, just TWO years after a cartoon had come out called 'Ferngully'. He has completely stolen this cartoon and made it has his own. Sure, the special effects are better and probably less cheesey... but when (in the credits) it says it was by him... not it wasn't. It is based on a children's cartoon film, which comes from a book by Diana Young.




Look it up, you'll be amazed by how similar they are... even the source of nature and light is the same... even some of the same dialogue!!!






Thanks, Clover Clark.

Is there any need?

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


I know that every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day... but surely this is too far! I remember the Jordan & Peter wedding on the news, but whilst looking through the internet, I came across it again. How ridiculous does she look?


There is a difference between a disney princess dress and Jordan's dress. You can pull off trying to look like a princess when you're about six or seven... but at her age, she looks like a freak!


Thanks, Clover Clark.

Competitive Streak

Dear Fellow Bloggers,


Ok, I admit, I am a bit of a WizKid on the Wii. I have all the top scores, I do fairly well, I am probably an addict. It's all good! But when my Mum's boyfriend comes along and beats all of my top scores... purposely!!! I got a little annoyed. He had spent 45mins, non-stop, playing on that 'Skiing Salom' game, just to try and beat my score. He did in the end, making my really upset... he couldn't help himself and rubbed it in my face over and over and over again.


Then he did it again, with another game, and another, and another. All on purpose, just to try and prove that he is better than me. The worst of it is, I didn't even provoke him. It was so out of the blue! I came down-stairs for a drink and ended up with a hairy-smug man dancing in my face.


But one thing is for sure... I will be giving him a call later on tonight, telling him the worst news of his life...


"Hey... you're second place!"


Thanks, Clover Clark.
