I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging or uploading videos much recently - this post is kind of an explanation for why I haven't had much time to do things recently and just a kind of random update!
First thing's first ("I'm the realest" - sorry, force of habit), last week was the holidays, which for me means my birthday (WHOOP WHOOP!!!!).
I spent a lot of my holiday sleeping (which is very important if you're me) and planning for my party; something I actually remembered to organise this year.
Last year I kind of left everything to the last minute, by which time everyone's schedule was packed and I had to arrange a different date for people to come round.

I'd also like to thank everyone who sent me birthday messages, it means a lot! <3(a special thank you to Eve for pointing out that I am now halfway-to-30 ...WHAAAATTT)

My birthday usually falls in the holidays, which has its ups and its downs. It's great to wake up in the knowledge that you won't have to revise algebra on your birthday, though it kind of sucks to have so many of your friends on holiday at the same time.
This year, I invited about 10 people and only 5 people managed to make it, which wasn't ideal, but it was fine in the end. I was worrying before that the lack of people might mean that people got bored and no one would have anything to talk about, though I think that sometimes I forget just how talkative my friends are! We never really run out of things to talk about, even if we end up talking about something utterly stupid and pointless.
I also kind of like not being in a big group. I'm not introverted or anything, but I've been to a few parties where there were massive amounts of people, topped with overpowering music, dimmed and flashing lights, shouting and just so many stimulating things. For me, it all kind of gets a bit too much and I can end up feeling anxious and need a sit down.
It's not that I don't appreciate being invited to parties like these - I actually think it helps to push myself into these kinds of situations sometimes - and for the majority of them I am having a fantastic time, it's just nice to have a change once in a while.
I have discovered over the years that I am much more of a talking and opinion-sharing person than a dancing person!
I loved the party, regardless of the number of people there - I hardly noticed when it was almost over! We probably spent most of the time looking back at old childhood videos and pictures of ourselves, as many of us there came from the same primary school and love to reminisce. Some of the most interesting videos were from when we decided to start a group YouTube channel a year or two ago with some of the cringiest content ever known to man. We also discovered that we had all forgotten to delete the channel, so all of the horrific videos are still online for everyone to see, and we appear to have forgotten the password to the email account (oops).
Two of my friends also stayed round for a sleepover after everyone had gone, which was really fun. The thing is with my friends is that when we say "sleepover", we really mean watching Maze Runner until the early hours of the morning, and then internally screaming over Maze Runner fan-fiction #sorrynotsorry
After my birthday, the holidays flew by, and suddenly we were back at school again. I didn't really mind though, as one of my best friends' birthdays lands a week and a day after mine, so we had that to look forward to!
After a long week of school, it was finally Friday and I dressed up to go out for dinner with my friends to celebrate her birthday, took way too many selfies (if there were ever such a thing), then stayed round her house for a sleepover.
One of my favourite things about my friends, apart from never running out of things to say, is the deep late-night conversations.
You can learn a lot of things about a person at 2 o'clock in the morning. Our conversations never fail to amaze me, and I love that.
Another thing I wanted to mention during this update is the fact that I have started writing a story that I have been thinking through quite a bit since the idea first came to me. I have just finished the first chapter of it and I am quite proud of what I have done so far, though I am still not sure whether I want to share the story with the internet or not. I haven't posted a story of mine online since I posted a Hunger Games fan fiction on wattpad around two years ago, and I am kind of nervous about sharing my new story idea.
I don't know, I'd just like an opinion :)
I kind of need to go now because it is getting pretty late, but I think I have just about covered everything I wanted to. My next blog post will probably be the "Best Blogging Buddies Award", which I was very kindly tagged for by Eve of Pen&Key, though I can't guarantee that it will be posted any time soon as I have mock-exams next week, so my head will be buried in various textbooks over the next five days *groans*
Thanks for reading my jumbled mess of a blog post, I will (hopefully) speak to you soon,
