STORY:
Excited children and teens, who have read Harry Potter and watched the movies throughout their lives, excited about the release; they're online and find out: MIDNIGHT SCREENING OF HARRY POTTER ATDHP2 ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. Imagine the excitement. Ready to dress up as their favourite characters and go out and see the highlight of their young lives. They get all their Harry Potter friends to come with. They all beg their parents to get tickets to this screening at the Odeon cinema. Excitement! The verification of their booking arrives, and they copy down the number in four different places to make sure it's saved. They leave and tell all their friends, and plan their outfits. A small while later, they wonder where they'll go to collect their tickets, so they go to the email. Blah Blah Blah. Then written, half-way down the page, not in capitals, or bold, or underlined, or even italic: is this 'avada kadavra' of your entire hopeful life of the past 8 months.
'Midnight screenings are only available to those of 18 years or older'.
This story is a true story. This person was me.
When I bought the tickets, I clicked the options 'teen' and 'child' (Twice on teen, once on child - me and my two sisters, one thirteen and one ten (I'm fourteen)). These tickets were perfectly available, there was no warning. I even went through the whole process again and there wasn't even a slight mention that you'd need to be eighteen. I was appalled. My mother will ring tomorrow and see if this really is true, and if it means I can't go, I will personally write a long letter of complaint, and I'm already looking at the Dublin Road cinema to see wether they cater to my age group - it hasn't mentioned anything either, and it's selling 'child' and 'family passes' too, but the 00:01 and 00:10 screenings are sold out and I'd need to go to the 00:15 screening, but I wouldn't mind.
I really hope there are other Harry Potter fans who are also very annoyed at this absolute betrayal to the Harry Potter franchise which is a children's novel series. At least Twilight isn't doing this, noted, if they have a midnight screening they wouldn't even be able to fill up a cinema with enough over eighteen year old Twilight fans.
Now us teens are going to have to turn up DURING THE DAYTIME in our awesome get-ups. Us nerds can't handle that kind of sunlight.
At lease SPF 50 sales will go up..........

Summer!!
So it's summer!!!
I've left my class for my GCSE year!
So, I've taken this oppurtunity to completely turn around this year.
I say, wouldn't it be smashing, to turn up next year as a completely new and fantastic person?
Maybe a little taller?
...a little thinner?
...a little prettier?
...new haircut?
That will definitely be my goal to achieve this summer.
So far, I've turned vegan and have began doing serious exercise everyday (not that I'm fat or anything, I'd just like to know I'm healthy).
I will definitely get some nice clothes too. I dont have many clothes at the moment.
Maybe get a fringe in?
Only time will tell what I do for myself this summer.
So please, geeks of the world, I urge you to take this chance!!!! Make people turn their heads in the corridor and say ''who's that???'' Maybe be a bit more sociable and head onto facebook more often. You may feel very pleased with your transformation!
Now if you'll excuse me its the middle of the night and I'm about to pass out of tiredness...
Aoife.

Noel Fielding and Russell Kane LOST??!!!!????!!!?????^^£&*&"**"(
WHAT ON EARTH???? They were the GOOD dancers!!!! Choose the men dressed as women!!! Noel Fielding and Russell Kane were AWESOME!!!!! Voters; you were to keep the tradition GOING!!!! All of you who have voted for those two should be ashamed of yourselves. Even Katy Price was a better option. She was funny and chose a good song and she cross-dressed; which frankly, is the only reason I've ever watched it. To see male comedians dressed as women. Im sure alot of Britain and Ireland are disgraced and angry at this and I am one of them.
Next time: support Noel Fielding in his Wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights. Or Russell Kane shaking hiks booty. (Also while I'm here - If Ed Byrne and Andi Osho had been kept in, it would've been much better. And Louis Spence and Miranda Hart should've got more chance to say the funny crap they always come up with. In fact - the cheesey presenters should have been replaced by them. Especially the girl one).

GLEE'S BACK - NYAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
I am SOOOO excited! GLEE's BACK MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you remember the excitement on Monday at 8:50pm? In our house one of us would see the time and if it was 7pm-8:30pm, they'd go to anyone in the room; 'ooh, gLee's on soon!'. Then if it was 8:30 to 8:50, we'd say slightly louder to everyone 'ooh, gLee's on soon!'and then we'd run and find every other family member and tell them! Then, at ten to 9 we began running about telling everyone to finish their homework and get into the living room, then run about shutting the curtains, light the fire, turn on E4, make 6 teas, get into our pyjamas, get blankets and have all this done by 9. Thank goodness for sky+ is all I can say! Sometimes we missed 9 before we noticed the time. You should have seen the panic!
I know some people have probably already seen the second series, wether it was online, you live in america or you saw it on RTE 1. I don't have that channel, and I live in Ireland, and I love the thrill of these things to much to go online.
Anyway - I just needed somewhere to scream about stuff! Bye!

BRAINFOOD
We have an assignment in Learning for Life and Work (LLW), we had to make a product and pitch it. The teacher insists it's like Dragon's Den. Anyway, our group couldn't think of anything, so we're stuck with the example product the teacher made. Yay? It's called BrainFood. Its fish oil tablets that taste like sweets. Yum. Not. As 'Creative Designer', I made the label. Here it is, I'm really proud of it! And I drew it myself, that's why it looks so crappy. The backsides better, I made it on Microsoft word, so it's more proffessional.
So tell me what you think of the product, but, more importantly, the label!

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are
This is going to be a short entry. I'm watching the music video for this song as i type. Obviously, its about a girl who's a bit self conscious. But who in their right mind would have the girl wear that? WHAT self conscious girl would wear those tiny shorts if she was self conscious? Just wanted to comment of that!
Is This Guy Phycic Or WHAT?
I was watching some good old Mike Mozart with JeepersMedia on Youtube. I've enjoyed alot of his work; so I decided to watch his videos right from the start - and I came across a really good one. You see, he really does tell the future! If you've seen all four Shrek movies; you'll know what I'm getting at. If you watch the first and fourth in comparison you'll go; 'yeah. The first was better'. Because once a show gets to the third remake, it just tends to go downhill from there!
In the video, he has not yet seen the third movie, but knows from the 'Shrek Triplet' activity going on in WAL-MART at the time, that Shrek has kids. And he's completely correct in saying Shrek shouldn't have kids! Well, it's true. But then, after falling in love at the end of the first movie, he's already losing his ogre-y touch! And I hate to say it - because EVERYONE loves the second movie - but if you think about it, he's just getting worse durind the second movie. It goes from ogre to sappy to marraige to sappy to kids to sappy to (the worst of all) the fourth movie. And this guy Mike Mozart, already knows it'll happen before the third movie even comes out! So, just click on the link below to see his video and also comment because I'll be interested to see others views on the Shrek franchise so far. Does everyone think it went on just a bit too long? Or he would've lasted longer without kids?

Before I go I just have a question for you all. The word effect - it definitly starts with an 'e', right? Our geography teacher has an interactive whiteboard, so Microsoft Word can be projected in front of the entire class whilst she types. Anyway. She spells effects 'affects' because that's how most would pronounce it. Is it definitely spelt effects, because wouldn't Microsoft word have a little red squiggle underneath to highlight it; if it was a mistake? Just saying.

Baptism
I was at a baptism the other day. I could only feel sadness for those kids. Without even realising it, they are now minions of Jesus the Overlord .I mean, the Lord Our God. Yeah. I don't wish to be rude, at all. I'M baptised. I just don't think it's fair to do it to kids with little/no intelligence. What if when they grow up, the last thing they want to be is Catholic, but the fact that they were baptised means they are forever attached to that religion. I only think their parents are a tad selfish. Not like a 'I own this kid, I'll do what I want with it' way, but more like a...well. Yes. A 'I own this kid I'll do what I want with it' way. I don't think they're bad people - but nowadays, does EVERYONE listen to their mother-in-laws? EVEYONE knows it's the mother-in-laws who make their kids and their kid's spouse baptise their grandchild. It's a way of living. The mother in law always pushes the envelope. I think I'll marry someone with a dead mother, or I'll just constantly be worried that my mother-in-law will ransack my child, and BAPTISE IT! If that were to happen, I'd go into every church and get it baptised in every religion. Or whatever the baptising is in Hinduism, Buddhism, Gnoticitsm, Islam, Judaism, etc. Can't wait to see the look on that ol' bag's face when I tell her what I just did. MWAHAHAHA!
Anyway. I'd wait till my kids at the ripe old age of 13 to decide what religion (s)he wants. If any. And no imaginary-mother-in-law can tell me otherwise.
It's weird. The older Christian women get, the more into God they become. I've noticed that with everyone. Mind you, I not THAT old. But what age is it where mothers are normal, to when they go 'You will marry a CHRISTIAN (wo)man, you WILL have your child baptised , the wedding WON'T be in Vegas.
Ugh.

Harriet The Spy: Blog Wars.
This was the biggest load of crap I've seen in my life.
It came out a while ago; and I never got round to watching it. I thought by the name, Disney had came up with something slightly more original - then I found out it was a book. So not quite original - but maybe a bit different to the load of crap they usually come up with. Though the cast - especially Melinda Shankhar (from How To Be 'Shitty') - didn't exactly make me hit the record button. Anyway. It was on today and I watched it.
Basically, it's 3/10, and is just an upped version of Read It And Weep. One of the WORST movies I ever laid eyes on. If you watch both of them, around the middle of Harriet the spy... you'll notice the plot get undoubtably similar to Read It And Weep. The only difference is there's a slightly better actress as the lead. Then it's just a corny load of crap that Disney ALWAYS pumps into their movies, tv shows, and magazines.
I don't feel like bothering to write about it anymore. Don't watch it. Disney's getting worse. I mean - look at the beginnings - Snow White, Pinnochio, the Lion King. And now - How To Be Indie, (their version of) The Prince and the Pauper, and Starstruck!- And the ACTORS - Selena Nosewhine*, Miley Ignoramus, etc.
If their are any intelligent people in the world, work on Disney. They NEED your help to put things on the show that we'll watch without needing it to be sugar coated and forced down our throats.

GUMMY WORM GAME!!
Ok, here's a game I made up and was playing with my sister yesterday. It's a great game if you have some sweets, and several little children that your babysitting/stuck with.
Game Set-Up:
1. Everyone selects their gummy worm, and gives it a name - like in horse races. ( I called mine Tony The Most Curvalicious and Bootylicious Worm In All Of BB World Which Is Great With Tarter Sauce.com)
2. Get a flat plain. Like a table or the floor - but not unless you cover it with something, you dont want your worms getting dirty!!
3. Mark out the finishing line with something. Preferably duct tape - so your worm can get across it easily.
4. Set your worms out, like in horse races, with players right behind their worms.
Game Rules:
Everyone flicks their gummy worms to the finishing line. You have 3 flicks to get it across. Remember - it's not the furthest who wins, its the one who crosses first. You can't flick your worm, if it's still moving. Which isn't a hard rule to follow unless you have great reflexes. The winner can eat their worm and select a new one from the packet - but if you are dealing with very small kids, and one can't win, remember to give them a couple worms to make it fair. Also, if you want a challenge, bring out a couple obstacles. But dont set them all out in front of one person, cheater.
If you have completed this game, comment on how it went, or if your looking for rules in special situations.
Bye!
