26th, February, 2015; Missing Work and a disturbing find.

26th, February, 2015; Missing Work and a disturbing find.

So i got into Sixth Form about 8-ish, obviously earlier than everyone else. Someone had clearly been looking through my things and had taken my things... AGAIN! I had a small bird skull on the windowsill for drawing which had been taken, i had two jars for drawing that had been taken, my sketchbook was wide open and sheets of research that i had where all over my table.
I tidied it all up and sorted it our before i got pissed off again. I cleaned up the sink and the side because i sit right next to it; there was a screen print and loads of palettes left out. So i took the screen and put it on Beth`s table, i guessed it was either hers or the other Amy`s as they would of been the only two who had stayed behind because everyone else just went home that night.
So she came in, everyone else was there already; she came in, sat down and straight away started going on about her sketchbook being missing.
Now i`ve gotten her in trouble before due to her lack of work, casual bitchiness from her and for the fact that she was annoying the rest of us with constant talking, distractions and for falling behind so much. So immediately, i was getting looks from her, comments and an un-settling atmosphere just filled the room for the whole day. Now for starts, this has happened before, but with the year 13 class; so it isn`t a surprise that things have started to go missing again. But the fact that she`s suspecting one of us for taking it is rather on the pathetic side; instead of walking to the A level room and telling your "friends" that it was me or someone else in our room... Is completely inappropriate and so immature that you could do so much more in the time that you`ve just wasted.
Yes, i`m with her by saying it`s rude and un-nerving; but going about it an immature way which made everyone feel very uncomfortable about such a simple situation, is not the correct way to go around it. 

I have to admit, when she left for Lunch, i walked around and checked some of the shelves and just had a general look around; but i found absolutely nothing, not even a trace of her work being moved. So whoever did it had to be in school past 4:30pm and in before 8am this morning. 

We also had to fill in forms about what we want to do next year, if we`re leaving the Sixth Form or if we`re staying and what wee`re doing whilst there. I`ve decided to stay on at the sixth Form doing full time art. It should be fun doing two years altogether, but there`s also a bonus course that we`ve never heard of, but you have to stay on at the Sixth Form for three years in total. We where told though that it`s not the best for us as we should already have enough Portfolio work for University. 

On a lighter note, which is also kind of disturbing to some people;
I found the dead bird wings from science!
Sounds weird, i know; science donated a lot of feathers and some dead bird wings to art for drawing and some projects. Another teach and i managed to find the boxes full of them. I`m also sharing them with a girl in year 13 who`s working an animal abuse and neglection; so it`s going to be really cool to see how differently our work turns out, as my work is going to be very feather and wing based.
(If you`re head over to the blog, i have a bunch of pictures of the ones i found). 

I started working on some Demon Geotic symbols; i`m not sure if i should make them into screen prints or if i should laser cut them into little wooden symbols. For now i`ve done some in black broad fineliner, i can work over the top of them in bleach and make them a lot more interesting before i finally decide on what to do with it. 

A little update on the pokemon war going on in-between me and my boyfriend:
we had a pokemon battle today, and i whooped his ass!  We`re having another one tomorrow but for now i`ve got six pokemon in my team, i have: Growlithe, Pignite, Leavanny, Tranquill, Lucario and boldore. All about level 22 or level 23 at the moment, David`s where about 24 or 26. 

There isn`t really much to update you on today, yesterday was really boring so i didn`t post anything then... Just though that today was a tad more "eventful". but bye for now my Melons ^.^

24th, February, 2015; Bullying In College.

A good Morning My melons!

24th, February, 2015; Bullying In College.

So on Tuesday morning where supposed to have two free lessons in the morning; yet me Paige and Micheal all get up at normal time and go in at normal time. So every Tuesday it`s just us three and a couple of people in the year 13 room... So it`s strangely quite and rater weird just to have us three sat alone with no staff members; but it`s also what keeps us ahead of everyone else in our class.

~Bitchy Rant 1, By Amy ~
Now this is the part that i hate about Micheal and Paige though; i`ve known Micheal since i was three years old and Paige has known him for maybe 6 or 7 years now. I was sat on the floor in my corner doing some more coursework and they where play fighting on the floor and throwing things at each and screaming really loudly... The most annoying thing is that they don`t go out and Micheal's head or hands are usually on or in-between her boobs. 

Now don`t get me wrong, i`m fine with them play fighting and messing around as long as they keep at least a little bit quite... I had a headache after break because of them. If they go out, then touch her boobs or whatever i don`t mind; but if you don`t and she has three other lads messaging her on a daily basis then keep away sweetheart. 

~Bitchy Rant, Part two, By Amy~
i`m 16, 17 in just under a month.
but people cannot get through their head that you need to be mature whilst in Sixth Form and College. It doesn`t matter if you are in sixth Form or College, or if you are in year 12 or 13. you`re there, day in day out, with a large or small class of people who you will be with the next two years or so... get on with it.
if someone has an interest that yo think is funny, keep it to yourself. Don`t tell the rest of your friends that they "write on wattpad," or that "They Blog On Blogger."
Because if we do write on wattpad, or we do blog on blogger. since when does it have anything to do with you? If we get reads, votes, fans, followers... That`ll be more then you will ever get in your life.
So why is it so funny?
I would love a decent explanation as to why it is so funny for someone to have a good hobby, where they can interact with other fans of things that they love, to make friends online and just talk to others, to write something that people will love, to create a character that you will fall for, to share their hopes and dreams with you, their experiences, their work... How is it funny?
Because, and you better trust me on this one; it`s a wayyy better hobby compared to, drinking with friends, having fake ID`s, spending over £50 on make-up every month because you must look absolutely perfect for your drinking smoking friends.
My dear Ishbie (iseboa), you know me well, if someone says anything else to you honey; i shall go to your College and slap them all silly with their own sketchbooks. People like this annoy the hell out of me and you know that if i was there... Shit would go down. So don`t worry sweetie pie, i`ve always got your back! I will personally go down and kick off on your behalf, we may be tiny, little, bright haired girls; but when we shout they will be petrified! 

Now on the brighter side of the day; i`ve finally managed to gather up my Angel research and copy it all out into my sketchbook.
i got a large A1 sized stick and ink image sorted out for my experimentation, and i should be able to get a large A1 Fineliner image done tomorrow taken from one of my original observational drawings. So it has been productive today, i`ve got work sketched out, loads of stuff planned for the two day exam and i`m already ahead of the class.

Also we where sent this adorable picture from the women that`s selling us one of these adorable Labrador puppies. Ours is one of the small Black Labradors, he`ll be eight weeks old when we get him and he`s male. I can`t wait to get him, we also got sent a little video of him splashing around in the bath; he`s sooo cute, i just wanna hug him and hold him :3

On an even better and competitive note; the little pokemon tournament is going on well. As you may know, David as White 2 and i have Black 2. So far i`ve beaten two gyms and as far as i know David has only beaten one. We`ve also got a Riolu each, so we`re going to see who can get it to level.100 the fastest and then we`re going to do a 1 VS 1 battle. 

Should be a fun week ahead ^.^

23rd, February, 2015; Monday tidy up!

23rd, February, 2015; Monday tidy up!

I have to get up about 6-ish to make sure that i`m completely awake before i get ready. So at half six i start to get ready... So i woke up and fell out of bed and head butted my phone and DS that where on the floor charging. I got ready and was about to leave at half seven, but mother appeared and said that i can get a lift... SO I FELL OUT OF BED AND HEADBUTTED EVERYTHING FOR NOTHING... Annoying start.
I did get to see the two horses we have though before school so that was a plus side :). 

I obviously got into Sixth form early. Turned everything on, booted up the heaters, looked through my miniature equipment draws... And to no fu**ing surprise, someone had been after i had left on Friday, and had taken equipment that i had gone out and bought myself. There aren`t any cameras down in the Sixth form art room... Peoples work keeps on going missing and someone is going in and taking my equipment. The something like this had happened before actually, just near our first exhibition, possibly a week before; someone had gone into the Year 13 room and had sabotaged work. Nails had been ripped out of a board and placed into someone else's, they had thrown ink over peoples work and had ripped up work too. The worst thing was that i had stayed behind till 4:30 that night, but everyone knew that i wasn`t cape-able of something like that; But the head of the school still banned me from staying behind for a while. 

If you haven`t seen us yet,
this is me and my lovely
David ^.^
We`ve only been together for
over six months, i wish that i
had met him earlier though :3

I didn`t do much today actually :/
I did some more artist research pages, did some demon and angel research and spent some more time organizing my things and arranging my corner :3
I have to say it looks cosy now and quite cute according to the year 13 girls. The best thing about choosing full time art has to be the fact that we`re in the same room all of the time, so we can have our own designated areas with our own things. ^.^ 

So since we`re starting pokemon again,
i chose my favorite new gen
starter :3
Isn`t he kawaii!!!

Today was pretty boring, and there`s not much to talk about right now :/
Me and my boyfriend however have decided to race each other on Pokemon! He has White 2 and i have Black 2, so we have to fight every time we beat a gym and have different starters to each other. so i`m probably going to have a very boring Live Diary blogging thing going on here. XD
But David always cheers me up, i`ve been seriously bored and then as soon as we started walking home he had his arm around me, he picked me up and spun me around in front of his friends and then ran down the street whilst picking me up. He also goes into town and gets us both three donuts about every day. He`s the most loving and caring person i know and i think i`ll ever know; i also completely love the fact that he`s not afraid to be seen with me and being all cute with me in front of his friends :3 He`s sooooo adorable and funny and caring and sweet and thoughtful... JUST AWESOME!

Summary of me!

Summary Of Me!

Me, Connor and Tammy <3 

I was born in 1998, so i`m almost 17 right now. I`m a full time art student at the Ormiston Ilkeston Academy and will be for just over another year. 

I`ve always loved art, i`ve grown up my whole life being surrounded by it. Even when i was little i always played video games or i was drawing all alone in my room. I`ve always seen myself as an out going, bright and smart person; i love taking to other people and i always make my opinion and goal in life clear to other people. I don`t really show if i`m upset in front of other people, i tend to keep quite about things like that... But that`s one of the bad things about me that i hate, the fact that i`m never upset in front of others...

When i was only a baby i actually hung myself in a plastic highchair whilst my mum answered the phone, luckily my older sister was there to get my mums attention and save my life. I also ran up the stairs with chopsticks in my mouth, i tripped and almost choked on them. my older sister, when she was a toddler; attempted to saw her own toes off when my mum and dad was decorating in the other room... Luckily no toes where lost that day. I also had an extreme choking problem; throughout my childhood i choked on sweets, burgers, broccoli, just things you couldn`t imagine a child choking on... I choked on... I was extremely clumsy. 

When i was little my family always saw me as the joker, the loud one and the funny one. I didn`t get along with my younger sister but i still made her laugh quite a bit... Like, when she was a baby i wrote on the walls in crayon and then put some on her so it looked like her; yeah, i was a little bit mean. I always got along with my older sister and my cousins though, bt me and my little sister have always been a little bit iffy... I`ve grown up surrounded by animals through my mums interests in them; we currently have two dogs and two horses, with a third puppy on the way! When i was younger we had three rabbits and two guinea pigs, along with other dogs, various hamsters and gerbils. 

But when i was 7 i started hitting problems, I still don`t know why i did but it just happened suddenly.
I started hearing things, seeing things and i withdrew myself from the rest of my family. The problem was only minor, but i told absolutely nobday about it until i was 12; my mum was at work one night and i couldn`t stand staring at the man in the corner of my room, so i cried my eyes out and told my older sister... My mums reaction was to hide all of the knives in the house until she came home from work, she was clearly scared of the situation. I explained that i didn`t tell her because i thought that she wouldn`t love me because i was a complete freak. She listened, she understood and then she admitted me to treatment by a place called CHAMS.
CHAMS diagnosed me with depression and schizophrenia; i`m still with CHAMS right now actually, they never closed my file because as i have grown the problem has been getting worse and worse.
I was put on anti-depressant pills called Fluoxitine, and anti-psychotic pills called Quiteapine. I eventually refused to take the Fluoxitine pill as they weren`t doing anything for me anymore and i thought that they where completely un-effective... They also caused extreme headaches and i felt sick most of the time. I`m still on the Quiteapine pills, and they work amazingly well and also help me to get a good nights sleep without waking up even once; i used to wake up once every hour and by 5am i couldn`t get back to sleep. 

 I`m obviously the one with the bright 
pink hair ^.^ 

Despite having depression and physcosis i managed to leave school with 3 A*`s, 1 A, 3 B`s, 3 C`s and one D. I managed to get into the Ormiston Ilkeston Academy Sixth Form just by having one interview, most people either have two or three. I chose the full time art course and now spend most of my days sat in my corner producing art work for the schools exhibitions and University portfolios. I`m planning on going to University straight after sixth Form; Derby University to be exact, i want to be an Art Therapist when i leave there. It`ll give me a chance to help young children with the same problems that i had when i was their age... I want to give something back. 

When it comes to wattpad and blogging; i prefer to write about creepy stuff and blog about Art. But live diary blogging is something i`ve seen done many times now and it seems like a brilliant way to really connect with n audience or your fans! So this is going to be my first try at something this personal and close to me... So i really hope it works out!
