The Skate Boarder

via
 
I glide along, covering ground quickly
I smile at people as I pass them
I fly into a jump and land on my feet
I whizz along, adrenalin pumping
I'm totally at home, I'm in my element
I'm skate boarding, I'm the skate boarder

Being Yourself

It seems most people try to be either like everyone else or as different as possible, I but I want to just be me!

The Beach

via
 
The sun shone bright and hot.
The water splash around my ankles
Sea gulls fly high over my head
Dogs run past, chasing smells
A picnic is on the sand, waiting
Everything is like a dream
I'm in the only place that's like that
I'm at the beach, my favourite spot

Road Trip

 
via
 
The wind rushes past, cooling me down
The world blurs past me, a sea of colour
Cars zoom past, going at speeds unknown
The radio blares, playing popular songs
I yawn, we have a long way to go
It's always like this on a road trip

Heart Broken

via
 
My heart throbs. I feel like I will never feel anything good ever again.
I scream, a scream of heart break. I burry my face into my pillow.
Part of me is missing. I will never get it back. I gave it to him.
Never will I feel his arms around me again. I have left him forever.
I feel lost. No more do I know where I belong in the world.
I can't laugh anymore. I will never smile again. I'm broken hearted.
Never again will I think of him as mine. Now we're just strangers.

I hope you liked this. I have never had a boyfriend or been broken up with. But I have done my best with this.

Words, Beautiful Words

via


The words flow from my fingers. They fill the page with their meaning. Everything around me is a blank. All that matters is my writing.

The story appears and grows as my fingers type on. They're not perfect, but beautiful. They are special. They need to be written.

My fingers slow, I remember the real world. I'm finished writing. I look at what I have written, is it good enough? What will people think? I smile, I don't care! It's mine, all mine:)

1D Breaking Up? NOOO!!!

I'm sorry about my posts the past couple of days. I must admit that I haven't taken that much time over them. Mainly because I have been so busy! I'm sorry about that, I will try harder.

But I have something really important to talk about! Earlier I found out that 1D might be breaking up after two more albums?

Can anyone else believe that? How can they do that? Is this true?
I am fairly new fan. I never listened to their music until about four months ago. But I can't believe that they might be breaking up! They're too awesome for that.

So what do people think? Is this true? I hope it isn't?

Also what do people think of 5SOS or the Vamps? I have recently seen quite a few friends talking about 5SOS and I had to see what they were talking about. Now I'm a huge fan.

The Vamps I first saw in the sidebar of a YouTube video and so I clicked on and soon found myself watching Somebody to You. I still have the song in my head.

Now I'm fan of all three of these, but I am horribly up set to think that 1D might be breaking up!

Sorry about writing this really random post about my fandoms, about I needed to write about this.

Interview with Imogen: Part One

Today I want to take a break from writing 'moody' things and just have a bit of fun. A while ago I promised to share some of my novel. Now I will do that soon, but today I thought that I would share an interview with my main character, Imogen.

Here it is:

Me: Do you have any nicknames?

Imogen: My family and friends call me Imza.

Me: I like it. It's pretty. But about your family, who is in it?

Imogen: Well of course my parents, then there is my older sister, Rosie who has left home. We also have a brother, but he's in heaven.

Me: I'm sorry.

Imogen: It's fine, he died four years ago. *tries to be up beat* Let's go back to these questions!

Me: What do you consider your greatest achievement?

Imogen: Wow! I don't really know if I know the answer to this. It might have been when I did my eighth grade piano exam.

Me: Eighth grade? Are you really musical?

Imogen: I never think of myself as that, but I guess I am. I am part of a small group of teens who upload videos onto YouTube. I also play the cello, so I guess I am musical.

Me: What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Imogen: A peaceful life where I don't have to go anywhere and can just read all day and play the piano and cello. I guess I'm an introvert!

Me: I love that idea of happiness.

Imogen: Thanks *goes red*

Me: So what is your favourite occupation?

Imogen: Music and art. They sort of tie. I can't choose between them.

Me: Hahaha. I know what you mean, not that I am really musical or arty. *changing subject* What is your most treasured possession?

Imogen: My laptop. My dad, who as you know is an inventor, played around with it and it now can do all these things a normal laptop can't do. I have so many important things on it.

Me: I want one now! Would he play with mine, do you think?

Imogen: If you could get hold of him to ask.

Me: Is he really that busy?

Imogen: No! He just hides and doesn't answer the phones. He doesn't like talking to people much.

Me: As much as I want to keep talking about this, I have more questions. My next question is: who is the greatest love of your life?

Imogen: That would be telling.

Me: I sense a story here!

Imogen: Moving along...

Me: What is it your greatest fear?

Imogen: Fire, I have a massive fear of fire. I used to be really ashamed of it.

Me: Funny, I love fire.

Imogen: I hate the idea of things burning and people dying.

Me: Makes sense! No enough people are that kind, which gives me a good questions: which living person do you most despise?

Imogen: I don't despise anyone. I guess I'm lucky that way, I can't hate.

Me: Well that's all my questions for the moment. Until next time!

Imogen: Thanks:)

Hope you guys enjoyed this. I have no idea where I saw the idea for this, but I really enjoyed writing it and I hope it helps you get to know Imogen a bit better!

If you enjoyed this I will post some more interviews later:)

Button Swap?

Recently quite a few people asked to button swap with me. That made me think that I really should start up a button swap page so people can freely swap.

So, that's what I have done! It's over at my extra page. So if you want to swap, please head over there:)

Sorry this post is short, but I'm in a bit of a hurry today and just wanted to let you guys know about this.

Siblings

Sure you tease me,
Ruin all my favourite movies,
So what if you listen to rubbish music?
Yes, you love to upset me,
You laugh at me when I get things wrong,
You pretend not to care what I think,
Whatever if you go out without me,
Sure you skate board too much,
You know you drive me crazy,
But, I still love you! It's what siblings do:)
 
I hope you enjoyed this. I wrote it for my brother, Leo's birthday which is today! Happy birthday:)

I Regret I Didn't Join Sooner

A while ago I joined Pinterest. I had been meaning to for ages, I don't know what stopped me to be honest.

But I have joined now and I must say, I'm addicted. I'm glad I'm homeschooled because I'm always on there. Like always!

Pinterest is where I get pics of blog posts, get DIY ideas and inspirational quotes. I never knew just how awesome it was:)

So yes, if you're not the there then you really should join because it's so much fun!

Ranting About Doctor Who

Is anyone excited about Doctor Who starting up again really soon! The break was far too long.

The trailer looks totally amazing! It promises to be a really good season. I was a bit disappointed with Matt Smith's last episodes to be honest:(

Did you know that Capaldi made the directors promise that there would be no romance between him and Clara?

I was so relived. Capaldi is like twice Clara's age and I must admit that I'm getting a bit tired of the Doctor falling in love with every companion he has.

It was ok with Rose, but then Martha came along and made a huge fuss about it. I was so relieved when Donna didn't have any romance with the Doctor at all. But then came Amy and I couldn't believe her! She was the worst on the romance score.

Don't get me wrong, I adore Doctor Who so much and I don't mind these companions as much as I'm making out:)

But yes, who else is excited?

  33. My favourite kind of art is realistic, but I can't draw for the life of me:P
  34. I am afraid of the dark. I always sleep with my lamp on. I'm so embarrassed to have to admit this. I'm fifteen and hate the dark!

  36. I am hopeless at writing book reviews.
  37. I adore mustard and BQQ sauce on my sausages. My brothers can't stand BQQ sauce and that I mix it with mustard they think crazy:)

  43. I love writing emails. I hear all these people say that they're hopeless at it or that they hate writing them, but I really enjoy it. Want to be my pen pal?
  44. I am afraid of heights. Another thing that I'm really embarrassed to admit. I can't go up very height without getting scared stiff. I don't know how to explain it. Don't judge me!
  45. I can't eat kiwi fruits. They give me rashes. I think it's an allergy.
  46. If I could go anywhere in the world I would go the Antarctic. I don't know why. I just want to go somewhere that not many people go or want to go.
  47. When I was six I cut off a huge chunk of my hair. My mum ended up having to cut my hair really short.
  48. I love classic. Some of my favourite books are classics. I would be perfectly happy to curl up with a Charles Dickens all day.

Sorrow

via
 
 
I run into my room, tears running down my face.
 
I throw myself down on my bed, grabbing my teddy bear.
 
I lye there, unable to stop the tears from flowing.
 
I pick up my mp3 player, turning it on.
 
I put the head phones into my ears, slowly forgetting my sorrow.
 
I feel my kitten climbing up onto my lap, eager for love.
 
I sit up, suddenly I'm not feeling so bad. I give my kitten a huge hug!

Day Dreaming

via


 Day dreaming is something that some do more than others. It's something that some are always getting into trouble for, but can't stop doing.

But is day dreaming even wrong? It's a gateway to another world. A world of magic, laughter, hope.

Sometimes day dreaming helps up forget our sorrows, anger and hurt. It calms us and makes us feel happy again.

Day dreaming isn't something to turn your nose up at, it's something to admire. Only someone with imagination can daydream.

Entry for Eve's Writing Contest

I have watched you everyday, too scared to come a say hi!
I have longed to know you for as long as I can remember.
I have dreamed about you every night.
 
You always seemed never to notice me.
You always had heaps of girl wanting you.
You always ignored them all.
 
Then suddenly you approach me.
You ask me out, like we have known each other for years.
I can't believe what is happening, my heart pounds.
 
You smile at me with your lovely smile.
You lead me over to the coffee shop.
You sit beside me and look into my eyes.
 
You tell me you have always wanted me.
You say you have always been too shy to say hi!
You ask me to be your girlfriend, I'm wonder if you know the answer.

I hope you like this. Sorry it's a bit rough, but I had a write it quickly as we're going away soon!

Very Annoyed!

So today I'm going to rant! Because I'm so very annoyed.

If anyone has sent me any emails or anything, I'm very sorry that I haven't replied to them, but my email stopped working:(

This is really annoying. I did get around to fixing it, but the only way was to create a new email account, so that's what I have done.

Sorry to anyone who emailed me, but I won't get those emails. Feel free to email me again at my new email address: kat.joyce@outlook.com though.

I hope this hasn't annoyed anyone too much!

Tutorial - How to Leave a Link in the Comments

Today I'm posting something a little bit different, because, who wants to post the same thing everyday, right?

Today's post is a tutorial. I thought I would make a series of them. What do you think?

For this post, I'm going to tell you guys how to get a link in your comments. Because there isn't realy an option to do this and I know that I for one always want to.

This is much easier than you would think. All you need is this little code:

<a href="www.google.com">Home</a>

Change the link to whatever you want and the 'Home' to whatever you want to be shown. For me that is: <a href=www.almostcompletelymad.blogspot.com>(Almost) Completely Mad</a>

Then post this in your comment and publish it! There you are, how to leave a link in the comments:)

A Feeling Like Nothing Else

via


Your hair flies around you in the wind. The trees sway above your head. Your cheeks are glowing.

You dash down the road, your feet making easy work of the uneven ground. You're on a roll.

A man waves as you run past, surprised by the sight of you. A girl with a dog gets out of your way. You smile your thanks and keep going. You can't stop, adrenaline is keeping you going.

Another kilometre. Around another corner. You don't know where you are going, you just have to run.

All your worries drop away as you pant your way down another hill. You don't care about anything anymore. All that matters is running.

Past the shops you go. You wave to the people you pass.

Down another street, your almost home. Your almost sorry.

Past the house with the mad dog, past the old lady knitting in her front garden, past the man drinking beer and mowing the lawn.

You stop. You're home. You're tired and sweaty, but happy. You made it!

Today I'm posting my tenth post! Yay:) Thanks to everyone who has commented and helped me make it to ten posts (great achievement I know).

This post is quite special to me. As a runner I know all about the feeling of running and how it can be tiring, but it's worth it in the end!
