So I started a new blog.....
This means that I will no longer be posting on this one.
But I am not deleting this blog.
I have blogged here for a year and I really enjoyed blogging here so I'm not deleting the content here. I made some good blog posts and they deserve to be seen. They might not be the best blog posts in the world but I spent a lot of time on them so I'm going to keep them around.
If you still like my blog - even though I'm pretty sure only one person ever read any of my blog posts - then you can find me at my new blog:
courtneyshek.blogspot.co.uk
This is where I will be posting from now on and it'll still pretty much be random. I did want to keep this blog around but I have decided to take things in a new direction with a new blog. Hopefully this will be the last time I ever do this. The next time I go for a redesign I promise I'll just change the look of my existing blog, mainly because it's exhausting creating a whole new one.
But that's all I really wanted to say. Like I said, I hope you guys come over to the new blog . It's going to be really good. :) At least I hope so. :)

Making a Time Capsule! | Pages 121, 137, 142 & 143 | The Pointless Book
In this Pointless Book video I tear some corners off the page, make a time capsule and write what I did for that day with my left hand. It was an eventful video haha.
If you want to see the video you can click below:
The first thing I did was tear some corners off the page which is simple enough. Gotta say I feel weird destroying a book, it goes against everything I believe in...
The next thing that I did was create my time capsule! I wanted to do this early on in the book so that it would be a while before I opened it. So below are the things I included in my time capsule...
A photo of my best friend Ashleigh looking hot:
A Christmas card from my friend Lauren from 2014 because why not?
My school timetable from my last year at school because those things are very memorable. I mean you had to live this two week routine for a good eight/nine months of your life, yet you still manage to forget what class you have third period...
And finally I wrote down some things I wanted to remember about myself at this time in my life. Like the amount of YouTube subscribers and Twitter followers I had along with the things I am currently obsessed with. Because these are the important things you want to remember about yourself lol.
I don't know, I just want to see how far I've come by the time I open my time capsule, maybe I'll have stopped making YouTube videos and finally closed my Twitter account. Maybe I won't be able to stand another Glee song cover...you never know....(I did have a photo for this but it was blurry and so I could not include it...)
All that was left to do was glue up the two pages.
My friend Bryce also did a version of this page when we were at my friend Georgie's house one night. Which I will post below:

This photo was from 2012 hahaha oh the memories.

All that was left to do was glue up the two pages.
I have decided not to open the time capsule until the book is finished. That way I am bound to forget what was in there in the first place. I know I can always look back on this blog post or my YouTube video but I promise not to cheat....
The final thing I did with my Pointless Book was write what I did that day with my opposite writing hand. This turned out not to be too terrible. I mean it might have been easier if I didn't do it with my camera on a tripod between my legs but even so I think I did a pretty good job.
As you can see his hand writing was a lot bigger than mine and on top of that he wasn't leaning on a desk haha.
Let me know who had the better opposite handwriting in the comments.
I have to say this was quite a fun part of my Pointless Book to fill out and I am not quite sure why. I think it's just because I am really sentimental and I enjoy keeping memories and things like that. I guess that's why I can share so much of myself on the internet. But no matter what the reasons I will always cherish the memories, they're the one thing that won't change.
But yeah I definitely look forward to opening my time capsule again, and of course I will film my reaction for you guys because it's always fun to look back on things...just don't get too caught up in the past you forget your future. x

2015!
Hey guys so this is my very first blog post of 2015 and I am excited.
I mean I should have really blogged earlier but I just didn't have time but now I am taking time to sit and blog. I just want to take this blog post and kind put out there my plans for the blog this year as well as how my year has been going so far.
So first of all, my plans for this blog....
I don't actually post here that often and I really want to change that so I am going to try and post here more. As for the content of the blog I don't know what it will be.
I know I can do more book reviews, movie reviews, thoughts on current events and just updates of my daily life, oh and Pointless Book entries. I suppose that actually sums it up really.
I mean as someone who lives a majority of their life on the internet I do use every social media out there which means I have to find different content to put on them otherwise they would all be the same and that's boring.
So this is where I will share my thoughts that are maybe too long for a tweet and yet not easily put into words for a YouTube video if that makes any sense.
To be honest I don't even remember what I used to write about when I used to blog. Like back whenever I had a Bebo and I discovered blogging for real...like what on earth did I find to write that was so interesting as an 11 year old? I'll never know. I deleted my Bebo a long time ago and while I do regret it a little I'm also kind of glad it's gone haha. Better to leave your 11 year old self behind.
After all, my Facebook is still alive and kicking after about 7 years and so is my Twitter....which can be embarrassing enough if you go back far enough.
Anyway...I got a bit sidetracked haha but the main point of this blog is just a place for me to express myself. As with every social media account I guess. But I mean I'm here and I like it. There's just something about being able to show different sides of yourself on social media that is so appealing to me and I think as an introverted person we need places where we can feel free and open to vent.
So this is where I feel safe...until someone in real life tells me they've read my blog haha. But honestly I wouldn't mind too much. I try not to make it too embarrassing for myself.
Anyway moving on to how 2015 has been so far...
To be honest I don't think much is really happening haha. At least not much that I consider exciting.
School started back and so there's that, I have mock exams coming up which means I have to revise a lot. It's kind of taking a lot out of me. I mean I guess it's my fault, I did leave it kind of last minute but I did/do think I can handle it. I guess we just see how it goes. At least I am making an effort, the rest of my school year seems a lot less motivated.
Don't get me wrong I am kind of the same sometimes but deep down I don't want to fail. Especially when so far this year I have done nothing but do my best in every test and come out with the best result. It would seem like a waste just to give it up now.
Which leads me to something that is very interesting this year. People are dropping out of school. I suppose this is a natural thing though. Like sometimes people decide this isn't what they want to do anymore and are unhappy so they leave and they either go for an apprenticeship, college or just go straight into work. It's not like we don't have a choice now. I still think it's sad though, just because you went through half a year of school to just not continue to the end especially this year because it's the end of a levels and you can get your qualifications and then go on to what you want to do. But then again it's not my life, it's their's. So I guess all I can do is wish those people luck with the next chapter in their lives wherever it is they are headed. Chances are I might not see them again, but at least I'll always be their Facebook friend.
As for the rest of us who are staying in school it's been okay. I mean getting used to school after a 2 week holiday is always an experience. Getting up early is an accomplishment in itself right now haha. But we're all slowly adjusting.
At least I think so.
Other than that the only other significant thing in my life has been fangirling about Fifty Shades of Grey. Which seems very strange to most people but to me it's normal. I'm so excited about this movie and the fact it's coming out next month makes me so happy.
I mean I suppose it's just like liking anything else except you get way more excited than you should about it. If you follow me on Twitter then you definitely know just how excited I get over things like photos and video clips haha it's not exactly healthy but the way I see it, it's better than being addicted to drugs because at least it's not physically damaging to your person. Plus it's not dangerous. I can safely fangirl from my computer in my room haha.
But yeah I don't really know what else to say about the whole Fifty Shades thing. I don't even know why I like it so much. I mean I don't know why I like anything so much I just like it because I do. Sometimes I think it's because there's nothing exciting going on in my real life so I like to get really excited about the fictional worlds. And going to see this movie would be like living in that world. Even for a short time.
I mean Fifty Shades seems like a really weird world to want to be in but to me it's a love story, that and Twilight fanfiction haha. Besides I'm a total sucker for a love story no matter how twisted it may seem.
And so that is a conclusion of my first 2 weeks of 2015. That and I have been getting back on YouTube posting again, I was kind of off it for a week just because I had done Vlogmas and things but I'm back. Another thing is everyone turning 18. Which I think I will make separate blog post talking about because that's a scary milestone...but yeah I think that's all I wanted to say.
I hope you guys liked reading this random stream of consciousness haha. I mean normally when I make a blog post I do just kind of sit and write what's on my mind. So I'm sorry if it doesn't make perfect sense but it did in my head and does when I'm writing it so hopefully that translates into an interesting blog post. If not then I will not post these very often haha. I just thought I'd give it a go since I think this is the first time I've posted this type of blog post here.
Well I'm off now, don't know when I'll blog again but hopefully it will be in the near future. :)
