da sun and da life and da me

Frankly, I hate the sun. I hate getting a tan and hate it in general. The sun can be a good thing as it provides light and is a main source of heat. BUT. It can burnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I have to try and cover up as much as I can otherwise I get sun burnt and my skin gets really bad. It's horrible because I get really really really really hot and sweaty. I can't stand it. (I'm too open and honest if you haven't already learnt that about me). 

Anyway, enough about me. How are you? Have you had a nice day? Good, because everyone in the entire world deserves to have a good day once in a while! That is what life is about, having good times and good days.

Da' bed is calling me so I must evacuate. Adios Amigos. 

zzZZZ

Sleep is crucial for EVERYONE! Every single human being needs sleep. Without sleep you are literally a walking zombie. The reason why I am on about sleep is because lately I have not been having any sleep. All my life I have always gone to bed early and naturally woke up early. But then I started going to bed late. Now, this is the worst mistake I have ever made as I still naturally wake up early. I can't physically lie in until late morning/early afternoon like the majority of teenagers do. This means I get really exhausted and tired and spend my days complaining and moaning about life. Just like I am now. 

Just always get sleep. ALWAYS. Because you don't want to be that kid who falls asleep in your exam or class. And you definitely don't want to be that kid who drinks energy drinks and lives off them because energy drinks are bad for you. NEVER DRINK THEM. 

Remember folks, a teenager needs at least 9 hours of sleep. (According the Google).

Le Weather

I personally hate weather. I'm not on about one specific type of weather, oh no. I'm on about the whole weather in general. Rain, annoys me. Snow, pretty but still annoys me. Sun, F*CK THAT SH*T. Wind, nope. Hailstone, stings like a b*tch. Whatever other weather, annoys me. 

So yeah, I hate the weather. I don't know weather it's because of my skin I hate it or it's because the weather always makes me ill. I don't know, I just hate it. 

Don't get me wrong, I do like it when it is sunny because it means I can actually go and explore the outdoor world. However, sunshine burns me. Mentally and physically. 

Anyway, enough about me moaning on about the weather.

Don't you just hate it when you say the same word so many times it just doesn't even sound like a proper word anymore?

I get that a lot.

And I mean. 

A LOT. 

Short Post, Big Words

Words are simply a gathering of letters put into sections and spaced off from one another with added dots and dashes. Sometimes words can mean a lot to someone and sometimes they don't. But the point I want to make is that words can hurt and that's what I think people forget now a days. Always think before you write, speak or type because by saying one wrong word then you may be at a big risk of losing someone or something. 

So

Is it just me or don't you think that everyday has it's own theme. It may sound either ridiculous to you or it can be relatable. But, to me, everyday has it's own theme and every activity you do has some relation to that theme. If you have no clue what I am on about than join the group because I don't even know what I'm on about. 

In other news, today was rather amusing. I began the day feeling rather energetic and happy, I then cycled to school but suddenly got extremely tired. My body throughout the day decided to malfunction on me leaving me with a series of dead legs and many dizzy spells. I then cycled home after a tiring day of school/college/sixth form or whatever you would like to call it. However, on my journey home I happened to have another dizzy spell and happened to faint whilst riding my bike. Good day or what? Oh, the best part of it all is the fact I can't breathe properly. Now that is a good day. Bet your totes' jealous right now....

Apart from this big scenario, I am currently unable to sleep which makes thing 10x better right?

I just realized that my sarcasm is on a high level today. God knows what that is supposed to mean but I'm ill meaning I am allowed to sound like a lunatic.

Evenings

In addition to one of my previous blogs which was all about mornings, I have decided to write one about evenings as evenings are just as exciting as mornings...

Evenings for me is my time to wind down and relax...sometimes. All day I am up on my feet completing random activities which are pointless but drain my energy and then as the evening creeps up, I can finally relax and go to my happy place. 

The main reason why I love evenings is my bed. My bed is the second best thing in the world which makes me happy..don't ask me what my first thing is. My bed is the place where I can sleep for hours and hours...occasionally. But my bed is also the place where I lay and watch pointless videos on the internet of people talking about themselves or people playing video games. 

Another reason why I love evenings so much is because it is my time to wind down and chill. This makes me happy simply because I don't relax or chill in general, I can't physically relax throughout the day, I just can't. 

I also love evenings because I can spend some time with my family. Family means the world to me! Sometimes I can be annoying and rather irritating towards my family but I will always be there for my family no matter what.

 *Sympathetic noises from audience* 

I would love to stay and chat with myself but it just happens to be an evening and I must retreat to my second best thing in the world. 

*Moon begins to show in the dark room and glow in the dark stars begin to reveal themselves*

Determination

determination

dɪˌtəːmɪˈneɪʃ(ə)n/

noun

1. 1.

   the quality of being determined; firmness of purpose.

Everyone is determined to do something. Especially me. I am determined to do so many things! The only thing which is stopping me I guess, is me. Anyone can do anything but the difference between everyone is focus, dedication and determination.Some people will be highly focused and dedicated to something whether it is writing a blog or being determined to run a marathon without dying, overall it takes determination.

If you want my advice about how to be determined and dedicated and so on then keep reading...(you probably won't want my advice but tell you what, it's free so you should have it because who doesn't want free stuff?). 

#1 - Never give up. Giving up is probably the worst thing anyone could do! If you give up, it gets you down and no one deserves to be down especially when the cause of it is yourself.

#2 - Always dream big. Dreaming is the thing that personally keeps me going in life. You should always think about your dreams whether it is the dream you had last night or just a random daydream you had moments ago. Just think about it and it will make you happy!! (Hopefully).

#3 - Set goals and achieve them or at least attempt too. Set goals which mean something to you! Start off with writing a list of small achievable goals and then write long term goals. Writing these personal goals down is the easy part, the hard part can be achieving them. But listen, once you have achieved these short or long term goals you will feel good about it and you will be happy for a llllloooonnnnggggg time. 

Going to be honest and say I haven't proof read this so if you find any grammar errors or whatever, please don't bully me. *winky face* 

Obsessions

I have many obsessions and some of them are unhealthy. My main obsession is making sure the volume on my TV is on an even number. I don't why it has to be on an even number and not an odd number but guess that's just odd.,.(awful joke Sammy, awful joke).

Anyway, another one of my obsessions is handwriting. I am an extremely funny about handwriting and fonts. My handwriting needs to be neat and tidy and also consistent. If not, it stresses me out and I go into panic mode and then I insist I need to re-write what ever I am writing. Now this obsession is not good when in exams or doing hand written assignments because it means I have to re-write EVERYTHING in a limited time period. Trust me, it ain't the best of things and that's for sure!

My other main obsession I would like to stress about is socks. I have to wear socks. I cannot stand not wearing socks. I just don't like the bareness of my feet on any form of surface.

I would go on for a lot longer and list ALL of my obsessions but frankly, ain't nobody got time for that.

Hope you get the reference, good night internet! 

Being Yourself

I have self confidence issues and I try so hard to not let it get to me but sometimes I can't help it. I will be happy one moment and then I see my reflection in a mirror and then reality hits me and that's what gets me down majority of the time. All I think about is what I look like and how many calories I consume. It's a horrible way of living and no one should feel like this! I will wear oversize clothes not just because they're extremely comfy but because it hides my figure. However, I am slowly overcoming my anxiety issues but it takes time and that's what I have to realize and it is also what many other girls and even boys have to realize.

No matter what size you are, no matter how much you weigh or what you look like, just think, who cares? You are who you are, you can't dream about looking like someone else because they are a completely different person and when you copy them your not being yourself. Always wear what you  personally want to wear and not what every other girl or boy is wearing. Everyone has their own unique style but some people are too scared to show that and they shouldn't be, no one should be scared to express themselves but I guess it shows how f*cked up society is.

Thank You for reading.

Goodnight.

*spotlight descends into darkness and the song 'Hold Back the River' by James Bay begins to fade in until the sound producer realizes how mainstream that song is and turns it over to 'Stayin' Alive' by the Bee Gees but then realizes how inappropriate that song is for the scenario so then turns off the music altogether*

Mornings

I usually hate mornings but today I hate them even more. I don't know why, I don't know how, I just really dislike this morning. Nothings different about this morning than any other morning, I just rather dislike it. The reason why I hate mornings is because I have to set an alarm an hour early before I actually have to get up just so I know I will be awake. Then I have to drag myself to the toilets so I can enjoy the daily urination. (*Trait unlocked - Brutally Honest*). Then I have to brush my teeth whilst my arm is half awake and then get dressed whilst my whole body is half awake. This is not a good experience especially when you are going through it every single morning. 

(I missed the 'brush my hair' part purely because if you knew me you'd realize how crazy/messy/wild my hair is and it is impossible to tackle especially every morning).

Anyway, good morning dear readers, I hope you have a luxurious day.

                                                                               (Ooooo, big word).

Musicals

Musicals are my life. I have grown up watching millions of musicals and I just love them. Even though I do think they are cheesy at times but they are amazing. They provide more emotions than any other genre of film can and what is even better is that it's done through song. I love music and films and to have them combined together is amazing! Whoever thought of that is a genius, (or just a drunk alcoholic, but still). 

The only issue I have is that if you was to ask me what my favourite musical is. I wouldn't be able to answer because I love any and every musical. However, I must say Little Shop of Horrors is good but then I do like Moulin Rouge...

Now, I must leave you to have some one to one time with my bed, I haven't been with it for 14 hours and my body has missed it more than anything.

That sounds really weird. I am on about sleep just to clarify. 

Humor

You know what's funny?

This. 

But you know what else is funny?

The fact that I just asked you two rhetorical questions.

And you also know what is extremely funny?

I have given you three answers to three rhetorical questions.

Now that, is funny. 

And finally, I need to ask you one more thing.

It may be a rhetorical question.

It may not. 

Was this confusing?

Yes?

Good, because I am one confusing person and I hope you now understand that.

Denby Gives Advice

I have never been this tired in my entire life! Always remember kids, SLEEP IS IMPORTANT!

Anyway, I would like to talk about trust. Trust is an important aspect of a relationship between yourself and another individual. (Just to clarify I am not just on about lovey dovey relationships, I also mean friendships). Without trust, there is no point to a relationship and that my friend is a fact!

DENBY GIVES RUBBISH ADVICE: 

#1: Always think before telling someone something personal about yourself or another person as this can be the main cause of World War 3.

#2: Always tell the truth even if your life depends on it because honesty is the best policy right?

#3: Don't accuse someone of lying when you don't have any evidence. Someone can actually be telling the truth but your accusations may think differently and this can also lead to the cause of World War 3.

#4: Pretty much the same thing as #3 but don't always trust your instincts. 

#5: Believe in Karma. 

The Internet

The Internet is gradually becoming larger than the world itself. Actually, it's gradually taking over the world! As much as it can be useful, it is still a bad place. The internet has it's bad side the same way every human being has one. Even I have a bad side. But that's not the point. What I am trying to say is, you have to be careful with the internet. It takes one mistake and then everything is gone, your dignity, your self-respect, your sense of direction, everything. 

Everyone makes mistakes, it can't be helped, even when you think you can prevent them, they still occur. However, there is a fine difference when you make a mistake in the real world and when you make a mistake in the virtual world. I didn't have to do my research for this piece of writing as I have been there myself. It isn't the nicest of things I can tell you that! If I could go back in time and re-do things, oh boy I would! 

Anyway, going back to the point. The internet can put so many lives in danger! Social media sites are slowly becoming the cause of depression, self-harm, anxiety and even suicide. No one deserves any of this! You need to be careful and treat others the way YOU would want them to treat you. (If that makes sense). 

Overall, you need to be careful with the virtual world and never be manipulated by it. Not everything what you see or read is true. You may see this as contradicting as this is being published to the internet but all I am trying to do is express my opinion and I want to help others and make others happy even if it doesn't make myself happy, I don't care as long as people such as yourself are happy.

I care too much for others than myself. 

*lights fade leaving a spotlight on Sammy which gradually develops into complete darkness*

Me

Having to live with a skin condition is hard. Almost 17 years of different medication and creams to treat it and it still won't go. Funny part is, I have got use to it, but there are times were it hurts. Mentally and physically. Although I may be use to it, I am still not use to the way people can stare for long periods of time at your skin. It's amazing how something so stupid can entertain people for a llllloooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg 

time. 

Another funny thing is. I don't care. Sounds highly rude of me. But I don't care. 

I have a skin condition and have had it since the day I was brought into this world. 

I can't help that? 

So why judge me on it. 

It doesn't affect you.

Just me.

So why make my problem...

yours? 

Good question, but it just happens to be rhetorical. 

Confusion

WHEN YOU SEE WORDS IN CAPITAL LETTERS, YOU INSTANTLY BELIEVE SOMEONE IS SHOUTING. YOU IMAGINE SOMEONE SCREAMING OR RAISING THEIR VOICE.

BUT SOMETIMES, THAT ISN'T THE CASE. 

CAPITAL LETTERS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING.

THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS LOWER CASE LETTERS.

LETTERS ARE LETTERS.

WORDS ARE WORDS.

SO, WHAT IF I was to change SOME words FROM capital letters TO LOWER CASE LETTERS. IT all MEANS the SAME thing, DOESN'T it?

Now, since I have confused you and myself. Today is Monday, the best day of the week for me because it means I can start something new. I can start fresh. What I mean is, Monday is the beginning of a new week...or is it? Why is Monday the beginning of the week? Why can't it be Wednesday? Or even Thursday? Who knows, maybe Friday is the beginning of the week.

Now that I have you thinking, I hope you all have a lovely day. 

Friendships

Friendships can last forever.

Friendships can last a week.

Friendships can last a month.

Friendships can last a day.

But trust me, I can't last a day without talking to you!

You're my best friend! 

If I could change one thing about you...I wouldn't because you are simply perfect.

I will always be here for you, no matter what happens. 

Because without you, I am nothing. 

I need you the same way you need me. 

Him.

Emotions can be hard to control in general but then there are times were you can't physically control them no matter what you do. This is what is happening now. It's not a bad thing at all, In fact, its something you should always treasure because these emotions are rare.

This is all because of him. 

No matter what I do, no matter where I go, he is always there, in my mind. 

He won't leave.

It's as if someone has got super glue and glued him to the front of my head. 

I ain't complaining. 

I like it. 

I like him. 

He is the sweetest,

kindest 

cutest 

this 

can 

go 

on 

for

ever

.

You see, what I'm trying to say is, he makes me happy, not many people can do that. Especially the male species. He copes with the way I ramble on about random stuff, NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN DO THAT! 

He is the highlight of my day, like, EVERYDAY.

If I wasn't half awake, I would go on forever, but sadly not having a proper night sleep for about a week now does catch up on you. 

:)

Arachnophobia

There are many different definitions for Arachnophobia but the whole concept of it is that your scared of spiders. I am not scared of them, I am just petrified of them. Especially when you are laid in bed, all comfy and then....BAM! There it is. The creepy little however many legs it has insect, creature, thing or whatever you want to call it. 

After spending a long night on the living room sofa, I managed to go back into my bedroom and face the beast. But to my surprise, it had gone, vanished, hey presto. Now, me being an idiot, I thought the beast made its way out of my room. OH NO. I was wrong..like usual. I was just sat there and then there it goes again, crawling over my duvet making its way onto my bed.

Now here I am. Sat in the kitchen, on my own writing about my deadly encounter with a harmless 'thing'. Don't you just love phobias?

The Beginning

Okay, 

          I'm not good with words or anything but I thought I could attempt to change that and this blog is how I am going to do so. I might use this as a humorous diary of my life or just to write boring essays of how great pizza is. I haven't decided yet. As you may already tell, my grammar and punctuation can sometimes be awful but to this day, I blame my dysfunctional mind, not my English teachers. 

          So, this is it. The adventure of Denby, (myself), commences. I hope you enjoy, if you don't there are plenty of other blogs you can explore but none of them won't be as unique and random as this one. 

Welcome.
