I AM SPIDER-WOMAN

As a perk of my job I get to see the latest blockbuster films for free. So last night after several hours of boredom and too many episodes of Geordie Shore, I decided to venture out. I like having lazy days off work, but the reality of doing nothing finally hit me and I needed to get out. I treated my best friend to a night out at the cinema to watch The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D and tuck into a pick n' mix.

One thing I did enjoy was the fact that the 3D was impressive as I genuinely felt like I was in the film, which was immense as Andrew Garfield is an actual hunk. His role as geek-chic Peter Parker has now made me obsessed with Andrew Garfield and with finding my own geek-chic guy. Emma Stone and her character Gwen Stacey are two lucky ladies. Now I need Andrew Garfield in my life.

Another guy I need in my life is Jeremy Irvine. Whilst waiting for the film to start a trailer came on regarding a new film released in September called Now Is Good. The film is based on a novel called Before I Die by Jenny Downham, which I swiftly downloaded to my Kindle last night. The film's based on a young girl named Tessa, who's suffering from terminal cancer. Before she dies she wishes to complete a list of objectives, in a Bucket List sort of manner. The top of her list is to fall in love... with Jeremy Irvine's incredibly beautiful and English-gentlemanly-styled character. So, from what I've read so far, it could be tear-jerking novel which I'll love.

Right now I'm continuing my laziness, althought it's 3.30PM I'm still lay in bed and I'm planning on staying like this until I have to go to work. I'm planning on coming straight home after work too, due to the fact that my dad is going Wetherspoons tonight and therefore I'm avoiding town at all costs. I'd rather have a sober Saturday night in than go out and possibly bump into my dad. Now that would be shameful, considering right now he's currently washing his car on the front and singing loudly to Smooth FM...

I've got a couple of ideas of what I'm going to put on this blog over the next couple of weeks; such as: continuing my daily blogs, my most embarressing stories of recent, what I've learnt about nightclubs, my first holiday experience without the parents, what I've learnt about myself this past year and my pet peeves.

"WHAT IS MY LIFE?"

Were you named after someone?I'm named Chloe because my parents liked the name. Plus the name was popular during that year, so I guess that influenced it a little.

What colour hair have you got and how long is it?
I have light brown hair and it's nearly at waist length.

Eye colour?
Brown.

Do you wear glasses?
Nope, I have a wonky cheek bone anyway so they probably wouldn't look right. You can't really tell that my cheek bone is wonky, unless I point it out to you...

How tall are you?
I'm 5ft 7.

What is your nationality?
I'm English or British.

Where were you born?
I was born in Cheshire, England.

Where are you living now?
I'm living in a small town in Cheshire; it's a nice house surrounded by trees. But hopefully in September I'll be moving to Manchester.

What is your bestfriend called and how long have you known them?
My bestfriend is called Katy and I've known her since I was born. Our parents are bestfriends and were in the same class at school and then by chance we so happened to be put in the same class. We've been properly bestfriends since we were in Year 7.

What are you currently doing in your life?
I've currently just finished sixth form after studying for my A-level. I took A2 levels in: History, Science and Psychology. I also did Biology at AS. Also I am currently working part-time, in a place that I can't name, but it's a place where it's impossible to avoid people. When I'm not working I'm either sleeping or partying with my friends. I'm also waiting on my A-Level results and any future developments. At this moment in time I have quite a few different social circles, so it's possible for me to have a lot going on in an average week.

Favourite food?
French Fancies. I always eat the whole box. And then go around to my friends and steal his box.

Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings all the way. Bridget Jones, I love you.

Last film you watched?
The last film I watched was The Amazing Spider-Man.

When was the last time you cried?
The last time I properly cried was in Portugal after several arguments over rubbish. So, probably about 3 weeks ago.

Do you like your handwriting?
My handwriting is fat. I'm not a big fan of it. But my teacher says that an advantage of having handwriting like mine is that when I'm in an exam it looks like I've written more than I have!

What's your favourite meat?
I don't eat meat much. But when I do it has to be Chicken breast.

Do you have any kids?
No. I'm 18 and I've got my entire life and career ahead of me. But I will have some someday, specifically four.

If you were another person would you like to be friends with you?
I like to think so. I'm funny and loyal and I stand up for my beliefs.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?
I should use it a bit more.

Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes.

Would you take a bungee jump?
I'm planning to do one during my Gap Year or when I travel Europe next summer.

What is your favourite cereal?
I don't like cereal. Nor do I ever have time for breakfast.

Do you unite your shoes when you take them off?
Not normally. It usually takes me 10 minutes every morning to find my shoes.

Do you think you're strong?
I'm not strong physically or emotionally. However I would say I'm mentally strong.

What is your favourite ice cream?
I love bubble gum flavoured ice cream. The only places I've ever found it though is on Southport Pier or in Red Hot Buffet.

What is the first thing you notice about people?
Teeth/smile, I'm obsessed with teeth. Then I would say laugh/sense of humour, intelligence and then clothes. I also take notice to accents too. And hair. Basically eveything, but firstly teeth.

What's your favourite colour?
Purple

What's your least favourite thing about yourself?
I'm so disorganised. There was once a point in my life when I was the most organised person you could ever meet. What's wrong with me?

Who do you miss the most?
Keith, my old neighbour.

What colour shoes did you wear today?
I've been walking round bare foot all day so far, but I'm going to have to put on my black work shoes in a bit.

What was the last thing you ate?
The remainder of my Candy King from last night.

What are you listening to right now?
The sound of my neighbour cutting his grass.

Favourite smell?
A strawberry shower gel from the organics range at Boots. Nom.

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
My dad to ask him where he was and when he'd be home. I feel like I'm the parent in our relationship.

Are you a Blackberry or Iphone kind-of-person?
I'm a Blackberry kinda girl!

Mountain hideaway or beach house?
I lovely beach house somewhere hot.

What is your favourite sport?
Me and sports don't mix. However for about 4 weeks in year 7 I was part of the hockey team. Ha.

What colour shirt did you wear today?
Right now it's just a white shirt, but I'll be wearing a black polo later.

What is your favourite shop?
My favourite shop to buy clothes from is either my beloved Jack Wills or Topshop.

Summer or winter?
I love winter clothes, so I like winter. But I also like the fact that in Summer I'm off college for 6 weeks. So this is a thoughy.

Favourite desert?
Warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream that you can get in my local pub.

Computer or television?
Computer.

What book are you reading now?
I've just started to read Before I Die this morning.

Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Neither to be honest. But to stick to my northern roots, the Beatles. But then again a guy I breifly dated was obsessed with them and he was complete tool. So I'd say The Rolling Stones.

THE MOST WONDERFUL DAYS AND WHAT-NOT

(I will be uploading photographs of my Birthday in the next couple of days.  I sadly had to use a friends camera as someone dropped my camera on the pavement outside.  Now the stupid thing won't work.)

Having spent the past couple of days rushed off my feet; I have finally got time to blog about my life.  Friday consisted of having insane fun with my friends and then yesterday consisted of me having an extreme downer in work.

For the first time in forever I had 'natural' hair on Friday for college.  I left it unstraightened and all hideously wavy.  I had quite a few comments on how nice and different it looked, but I generally feel people were just being nice.  The hole point of me leaving it wavy was because I planned on putting my hair in heated rolls when I got in from college.  This plan worked out and I sucessfully managed to leave them in for 3 hours prior to going out.  Literally 15 minutes before leaving the house I took the rollers out and my hair hadn't curled!  I then realised that because I hadn't curled my hair using the heated rollers for at least 6 months that my hair wouldn't curl using them in its current condition.  I've let my hair grow for the past 6 months, so my hair is currently below my waist and very heavy.  So the obvious conclusion was that my hair was too heavy to hold the curl which the rollers would have put in it.  Due to the fact that I had 15 minutes before I had to leave the house I started to panic.  It would be my luck that my hair wouldn't be how I wanted it for my party.  Luckily my Mum curled it for my using the straightners and the curl actually stayed it.  However this made me 15 minutes late for my own Birthday party.  But as I liked to say, "I wasn't late.  You were all early.."

Frankie and Benny's have amazing food and the portions are big enough for me!  The waiters placed us on a long table along the front of the resturant and that meant that everyone could see us, and people kept asking the waiter to ask us what the pitchers were called that we were drinking; this started to get annoying after a while. I was so excited when I bought my first legal drink.  I casually strolled up the bar and asked for a Woo Woo cocktail, all prepared to be asked for ID. And then the woman didn't even ask for my ID!  I was secretly gutted, I knew that if that was any other day prior to my 18th I would've been asked for ID, ha.  I've decided to keep the receipt for that first drink and I'm going to place it in a little keep-sake box. We ate our food and had a couple of drinks before we finally left the resturant as it was closing.

My mum and a friends mum picked me and 7 friends up and the rest got driven to my house by a friend who has already passed her driving test.  However I will never understand how she managed to pass her test.  She apparently stopped at a green light, drove in the wrong lane around a round-about and stalled 5 times.  Not to mention it took her 40 minutes to get to my house, when the journey normally averages at around 5 minutes. Rant over.

At my house my Dad had bought a tonne of alcohol and we had a party.  I can't fully remember what actually happened, but there's a lot of cool photographs on my friends camera. Nor do I remember falling asleep or people leaving.  All I know is that when I woke-up I wasn't hungover.  But I did have a stiff shoulder and a dodgy neck.

I had work yesterday (Saturday) and I was rushed off my feet.  I finally got to serve customers tickets to The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and I even got to serve alcohol!  But TGWADT was sold out and as I result I ran around behind the kiosk like a headless chicken, or at least how I would imagine a chicken without a head to run.  A funny story is that my manager turned the air-con on thinking that it would blow out hot air, but weirdly it blew out hot air.  So we were stood there all night wondering why we were all so freakin' hot.  And the obvious answer would be that the air-con was blowing out hot air.  I do really hate my job.

Today, I prepared for my driving test (which I hope I don't fail).  My driving instructor doesn't think I'm ready for my test, but I think I am, so I'm going to take it soon.  I also watched The Inbetweeners Movie with my family.  I do not recommend you do this with a 12 year-old boy in the room or your parents.  It just creates an awkward silence and the response of, "Now that's why I'm not letting you go on holiday in the Summer."

I've just realised that I have my first exam in exactly a weeks time tomorrow.  And as I've previously stated I haven't started revising.  This can only mean a tragedy is in the near distance. So, I better get my bum in gear and start revising, German History 1871-1925 here I come!

Adios

P.s. My Kindle rocks.

THE STRESS KICKS IN

One of my New Years resolutions was to not complain about History or my teacher; I'm afraid that I have already broken that one.  Not only did she give me 15 essay plans to do over Christmas, she gave me: one 5-page essay to write, a reading booklet about the 3-Day Week, 8 'activities' AND asked me to read the below book.

So after painstakingly reading the first two sections of the book and taking notes, I was literally pulling my hair out.  By this point it was 3PM and I still had the above list of pointless tasks to do.  I guess tomorrow I'll have to slowly walk to History and then apologise to her about my lack of work over Christmas.  Hopefully no-one else has achieved much this Christmas.

My plan for today was to wake-up at 10AM, in order to fall asleep at a reasonable time tonight.  But as always in typical Chloe fashion I slept in until 12PM.

So basically I'm sat here now, wanting to curl up in a ball and hide for the month of January.  Not only have I got my first exam in 13 days, I haven't even started revising.  Nor have I even finished any homework.  The chances of me getting to Lancaster at this rate are pretty low. And to top it off my Mum informed me that if I don't pass these January exams, I'll be working at the dreaded Cinema for another 3-years. Gah.

I'm going to have a sip of my Ribena, brush my teeth and head for bed.  I've got an early start tomorrow. 7AM, why must you come?

THE 1ST DAY

I brought in the new spectacular year with my lovely friends and family.  For the past 5 or 6 years I have been going round to my nextdoor neighbour's house; where we have brought in the New Year with friendly chatter and banter about the past year. We let fireworks off at midnight and one is demonstrated above.  I stayed out until just after 3AM and then I realised I'd never be up for work that afternoon.  However when I finally did get in one of my bestfriends text me to tell me about her antics and some mutual friends.  I kind of wish I had gone to my friends party, but my dad did the, "This time next year you'll be out with your friends." speech making me feel bad.  He then followed it up with, "This will probably be our last New Years Eve together..." So I ultimately ended up staying with my parents and going nextdoor.  But he is right, next year I will be out with my friends...

I finally managed to haul myself out of bed at 1.30PM. Gosh I am so lazy, I probably would have continued to sleep if it was for the fact I had work.  I entered work thinking, 'I hate work. I hate work. I hate work.' and I left work still thinking the same.  Working in a cinema is a lot more hassle than you would think.  As I'm not yet 18, I'm unable to sell tickets to The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. So I received a tonne of abuse from customers claiming that I shouldn't have been employed if I cannot sell tickets.  I then got shouted at by the manager for not mopping the floor to his standard last week. Ah, I really do hate work.  So I came home thinking I could recover from the horrid experience with some chocolate.  But then I realised that my number 1 resolution was to stopping eating chocolate. Oh my.

But on a brighter note, I'm still smiling.  And I've just tucked into some Pringles, whilst watching the Alan Carr New Years Specstacular from last night. 

Tomorrow, will be quite an interesting day.  Stay tuned...
