Let's Get This Sorted

Okay. Let's just get this over with. I have decided that this blog isn't really working out for me. The other blogs too. Which is why I have decided to delete Erika Does Beauty. I decided that I want to keep Erika's Adventures and this blog but will not be posting.

The new blog (which I have finalised) will be called Strange Yarns (link at the end). It's gonna be a list of short stories but with different genres. Sometimes it will be only chapters of a full story (I will be posting ENTIRE stories) or prologues. Basically, in the 'about me' section of the blog, colours will organise what type of story I will write. For example, blue might represent fantasy so in the title of a fantasy I would do:

Title of story (blue)

There will be other features and this is just an example. I will be doing updates whenever I feel something come to mind or revision for a test. I hope you enjoy the new blog and any info that you need would probably be there.

Thanks for reading, Byee!

Bye Bye 2014, Hello 2015!

Hello, lovelies! Today I wanted to talk about (or actually 'rant about') random stuff until I realised that it's 2015! New Year means new beginnings and starting all over again. 

For months now, I've been looking forward to the new year. It makes me happy that I can put everything bad away and lock it in my 2014 vault. I can then open a new vault and put everything good inside. Now I'm not saying this year will go without bad because that's just plain inevitable. But that's what New Year's Resolutions are for, right?

Mine consist of these:

1. Help people who need it. It's important to give.

2. Don't be lazy. I'm constantly reminded to do my homework and I think that should change.

3. Spread the love! If you feel sad or happy, throw someone a smile. It'll put them in a good mood, then they'll send a smile to another and so on. All because of you, the world will be happy.

Thanks for reading and byeee! 

Ummm…

Umm… yeah. Crap. Merry Christmas…? I know, I messed up like wow. So I'm going to let you in on something:

She walked down the stairs, coming to a halt at the bottom. THUD, THUD, THUD. The first word that came to her mind mess, 'intruder'. CREAK. Her heart was beating fast as she opened the kitchen door. Nothing. She opened the living room door. Nothing. The bathroom? Nothing. She climbed back up the stairs. She took a peek at her parents' and brother's rooms. Quiet. Maybe a bit too quiet. She tensed. Footsteps and heavy breathing. She ran into the safety of her room, the adrenaline burning her ears. A pair of hands clasped around her shoulders and another pair around her eyes. She wanted to scream. She wanted to wake up. But it wasn't a nightmare. It was real life and she knew why her family was so quiet. They were dead. And she was alone, in the company of her captors.

This is the prologue of one of my books. I want your opinion on this. What I should change or improve on. I know it seems to casual to just start blogging once again just like that but school is being a bug lately. IT WON'T STOP!

Good things about School

Sorry, sorry and sorry. But let's start.

1. Friends.
2.Most of the things you learn will help in the future.
3. The end of the year is awesome.
4.Art.
5.Coming home.
6. Talking to your friend (e-mail) while studying!
7. GOSSIP. Not too much though.
8. That's all I can think of
9. Eurghhhh!
10. Kay byee!

How to Know if you're a SHOPAHOLIC?

Okay so I'm sorry I didn't upload on Saturday. I didn't have any connection but this Saturday I have something speacial planned to make up for it.

1. Every time you go into a mall you always come back with something.

2. If you see something and you like it, you'll only take one glance at the tag and size. 

3. Your sibling/friend needs new pants and you go into the shop. She didn't find what she needed but you found loads of things.

4. You have to avert your eyes from your favourite shop so you won't be tempted.

5. Doesn't matter what you are buying you always end up with two of something.

So leave your comments on how much out of five you relate to a shopaholic. Until next time, byee!

Living Without the Internet.

UGH!! It is so annoying! Even for one day, I couldn't find anything else to do. It did help me get closer to my cousins:

    But it's crazy! I know that a lot of people will say something like "What about the people without a computer? What about the people who don't have a home? No food?" But I'm pretty sure you've complained about a lot of things the unfortunate don't have. It's human nature! Since I've connected, at least I'm using for bloggin' time! Woop! Woop!
     But here's a few ideas that'll keep you indoors but away from your computer.

1. Read
2. Eat
3. Sleep
4. Talk to yourself
5. Write an angry letter then throw it out.
6. Sing
7. Dance
8. Walk around
9. T.V.
10. DIY
11. SELFIES!
12. Mentally work out problems of your favourite subject
13. Talk to someone
14. Build a fort and no.3
15. Play an instrument
16. Cry
19. Realize that there is no 17 or 18
20. Smile

And once again my blogging comes to an end. Until next week, *sigh* byee!

Things That Piss Me Off

1. Slow Internet - I don't have to explain this one.

2. The Snooze Button - Say you have something important to be at, okay. But the snooze button will always be there to bribe you into sleeping for longer. Some people say that you should set the alarm for earlier... But then I have to wake up every 5, 8 or 10 minutes to turn the alarm off when instead if the alarm was set to the normal time I could have had one hour of solid sleep.

3. Joke Ruiners\ Thieves - Ruiners first. If you tell a super funny joke and no one is laughing then the joke ain't funny! Then there are the people who don't understand sarcasm. Example:

Rachel: So I would love if someone kicked in the face.
Someone who understands sarcasm: *laughs*
Someone who doesn't understand sarcasm: What!? Really! OMG. I would hate it if someone hit me in the face.

Than there are the people that are just plain stupid and be like "Whaaat?" The joke thieves. Now, it's fine if someone says "Erika said..." but if they don't give ME credit for the joke I said then I am pissed. The same thing goes with ideas.

4. When people say "no offense" to cover their mean comment. Because when you say 'no offense' you're just pointing out that your comment was offensive. Not even just that! It don't matter if you say it or not, the thing is still offensive!

5.Stupid Sayings - even though you know what the saying means, if you look closely you will see that the saying itself makes no sense! e.g. head over heels, spill the beans, against the clock, knock on wood, it's a piece of cake (and it tastes good!), shoot the breeze, beating around the bush, the apple of the eye, can't have a cake and eat it too, pushing the envelope, a bone to pick to with you, don't throw out the baby with the bath water, raining cats and dogs, slept like a baby (wake up every one hour?).

6. Going into a room only to forget why I was there - It's simple

And that is it. Until next time, byee!
