Hey guys, sorry it's been a while.
I used facebook today to get people to answer a question for me, my question simply said- What makes you happy?
I got some interesting, and somewhat encouraging answers which I am going to share because it's nice to know what makes people smile :)
1) "Feeling that I have truly made an impact on someone in a positive way."
2) "Seeing lives being changed for the better"
3) Having a deep, meaningful connection with others. I help people in need all the time. That kinda just feels like who I am. I don't really think there's an option for me, so it doesn't make me feel happy or anything. But when someone else and I connect, I def feel happy about that."
4) "Seeing this post makes me :)"
5) "I love it when I can give someone else a 'light-bulb' moment"
6) "Expanding someone's horizon or being in a situation where someone has gained a new perspective, I love that."
7) "A beautiful smile, helping people, little kids at play, nature, being around family."
8) "Doing art" and "being goofy and enjoying life"
9) "mostly simple things- curry, days with friends, camping, Alex Rider books, reading, getting to the front at a concert, getting to meet the band backstage at a concert, and money."
10) "Winter weather and warm clothes make me happy. I love the cold"
11) "Appreciating the moment, like I can find happiness in just being alive most of the time. It's pretty precious and fleeting. Being with my mates and just having a laugh and messing about, doing stupid stuff :) You gotta appreciate life. Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's being content with what you already have."
12) "Sleep, trifle and music"
13) "Making people smile, doing kind things for others, loving God and others as myself."
14) "Your question does"
15) "My kid's belly laughs, christmas decorations, nature walks and nature sounds, small group bonding moments"
It made me smile getting these answers :) I like knowing what makes people happy.
Keep Smiling :)
Love, Tutti-Frutti

This Gives Me Hope
This, more than most things I've seen, gives me so much hope. This is footage taken when a player of a baseball game tears the ligament in her leg just after scoring her first ever home run. It is against the rules for her own team mates to carry her around, and so two members from the opposing team carry her around so she can get it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVlKtI7yd_s
This gives me so much hope for human nature. The fact that sportspeople are supposed to be ruthless, and trample over everyone else in order to win, and they didn't leave her, they helped her through, and this just makes me smile so much, it made me physically warm to watch, and I'm happy I saw it.
There are good people in the world.

Beauty In Nature
Now I have spoken about this before, but today, I don't really want to tell you about beauty in nature, I want to show you. These pictures were simply taken from a camera phone, nothing fancy, but it's the sort of things I look at and consider myself lucky to have seen them.
I find this photo really dramatic and beautiful, it's the afternoon sunlight and the silouhette of the trees behind it, and I really love it, I took it on the off chance that I might get a good photo and I did, I especially love the glare from the sun :)
Never before in my life have I seen a red sky and a rainbow, so I when I saw this I felt I needed a picture of it, like the one above I find it fascinating because of how dramatic it is :)
These two really put things into perspective for me, and allow me to see how small I am in comparison with other things in the world. And I really think theyre magical, and somewhat therapeutic, I love looking at scenes like this.
What more can I say? Dramatic skylines transfix me, and these certainly were very dramatic, I saw them walking to college the other morning :)
This was a plant in my garden- you never have to travel far to see beauty!
Beauty is in everything, you just have to open your eyes and look at it!
Keep Smiling

Singing- Music is a godsend
I love to sing, I sing all the time, I have been in choirs since I was tiny, I've done singing lessons since year 9, I'm singing all the time. And I have a friend who also loves to sing and who has the guts to put her songs up on youtube!
Well tonight I have been with that friend. I've heard her sing before, but she's never heard me properly and we've never sung together, until after Xfactor this evening when we went into my garage and sung together, and it was really nice, our voices fit together really well, I was all round impressed.
I've always been too scared to put my stuff onto youtube, but I'm going to see my friend tomorrow, we're going to do some duets, and shes going to put them up, I'm scared, but i loved singing with her.
Singing and music are gosdsends. I know she sings as an expression, and thats why i do it too, sometimes when times are hard, music is what can save you, and when they're not hard it is still there, still waiting for you, and I think we should be greatful for that.
Keep Smiling :)

Life's What You Make It
Life is what you make it. In some ways at least. I'm not trying to say that if you go through something traumatic and then find it hard later on it's your own fault because you made it so, that's not true at all in the slightest. I'll explain myself.
I've just managed to find a job (it's taken me long enough!) and since getting it, I have been told i'm going to find it tiring, boring, annoying, frustrating and all manor of pessimistic things. But the way I see it, I'll only see it as all of these things if I let myself. And if I do see it like this, it is only because I've allowed myself to see it like that. There are many things, I am 99.9 percent certain I am going to love about this job, just like most people never liked school, whereas I loved every second I spent there.
If I see the job as an enemy before I've even got there, when I get there the only thing it is possibly going to be is an enemy, but if I see it as an opportunity, a place to meet new people and make new friends (I already love some of the people who work there and I've only met them once), and the atmosphere on the shop floor is amazing, I got hugged while I was there, everyone seemed to be laughing, people were bantering with each other and it just made for a really fantastic atmosphere, I loved it! So I'm going to ignore the people who keep telling me I am going to hate it, and focus on enjoying myself :)
Bring it on :)

It's getting colder, why is that a reason to smile?
It's October, there's a chill in the air, the wind blows all the leaves from the trees and your shivering, why is that a reason to smile?
Because the glorious thing about being cold, is finding ways to get warm again.
Ways to get warm:
Today I am cold, very cold. And what have I been doing all morning? I'm sat, hot water bottle, blanket, pillows and cushions, curled up on the sofa with a warm drink and a fantastic book, I can see the wind blowing insanely outside,and I am settled and warm knowing I am inside and away from it. But even if I was out in it, it's ok, I'd go out in my coat and hat and scarf and gloves and stay warm with all of that and appreciate the wind that's taking my breath away. It is kind of exhillarating when you are out in it.
Blankets, duvets and snuggies are always good in this time of year, I know I practically live in mine, I am the owner of about 10 fleecy blankets, duvets and all of that.
Dressing gowns and slippers, or fluffy socks are good for this time of year too. And dig out the long sleeved pjamas.
Warm milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or whatever hot drink takes your fancy, to settle down under your blankets with as the nights close in.
Grab your other half, or a sibling, or your parents, or your friend, and curl up close to them in the cold, make them put their arms around you, you'll feel safe and warm though it's cold outside.
Yes, I'ts getting cold, but that's no reason to stop smiling, we can just relax a little now, slow down, cuddle up to those close to us and stay safe and warm through winter :)
Keep Smiling

Supporting Someone Who Has Got Me Far In Life.
Here's the deal. There is a female english teacher from my old school, without whom I would never be the person I am today. I owe her so much, I owe her my english and literature grade (which were both really good), I owe her my college place as she kept me going through my last year in school when I didn't want to keep going for various reasons, she never gave up, she was always there, always helping, always lovely. She became more to me than just an english teacher, she became a confidant, a rock, a friend. She supported me when I most needed support in my life, and though she was busy herself she never once turned me away. And now, she needs my support, not just my support but all the support we can possibly give her and this is why.
As humans are apt to do, she made a mistake. Some comments that had been made over a social networking site got passed through students, and there was uproar and her and another teacher have been suspended due to it. While I admit that it was a mistake to post these things on the internet, and social networking is a dangerous place especially for teachers, the fact remains that the local newspaper for where I used to live is blowing things way out of proportion to sell newspapers. Anyone who knows this fantastic woman knows that she has devoted the vast majority of her life to teaching, she gets the grades and earns her students trust and respect. And whats more, she respects her students. She has the type of attitude where it doesn't matter to her where you have come from, what type of background you have, what has happened in your past, what matters to her is where you are going to get in the future and how she can help you get there, and believe me she helps so many people.
She has a lot of backing and support. My own loyalties to her are incredibly strong, I only hope our letters of support are received and looked at and taken into consideration and get her back where she very much belongs, teaching students. Students will suffer without her, to many she is a friend aswell as a teacher, I think the vast amount of support that has been generated shows this.
If you also want to show support, because in no way shape or form does she deserve this, on Twitter there is a hash tag- #freemissclappison. Also a website has been created from ex students to post supportive letters and sign a petition- www.supportmissc.co.uk and also this group on facebook- http://www.facebook.com/groups/231275586929827/233049470085772/?notif_t=group_activity
PLease show your support, I would not be who I am today without this spectacular woman, and she does not deserve this or any of the bad publicity she is getting. I feel it is time to support her now, because lord knows she supported me when I needed it most, and I am forever thankful, she is not someone I am going to forget, because she became one of the most influential people I ever met, she deserves to be back doing what shes best at.
Keep Smiling :)

Finding My Voice, Finding My Thoughts, Finding Me.
It occurs to me that while I have been thinking about universities and such and what I am going to do with my life, the fact remains that other people's views and opinions have been affecting and influencing my own.
Here's the thing though, I know what I want to do now, regardless of what everyone else wants, regardless of what everyone else is saying, I know the path I want to follow, I've found my thoughts.
I've decided I don't want to go to university. I want to find an apprenticeship in the mental health sector. I want to go on as many training courses as I can and I want to volunteer for places like childline and other bases like that, and do as much volunteering for CAMHS when I get old enough, and work my way up without going through university.
This is a good thing to do I think because it's going to save me a hell of a lot of money in the long run. And university isn't going anywhere, I could always do Open University or something if I decided I want a degree afterall. But since I have decided what I want to do, I am so much less stressed out. And I credit it for being my own decision aswell and not anyone elses.
I know some people (probably at college) wont be happy with my choice, but the thing is it is my choice, it is my life and I have to do what I think is right for me. If it's the wrong choice then I will take full responsibility and change it myself, but if I don't try it out I wont ever know.
The point of this, is I'm saying to know yourself, be yourself and make your own choices, aswell as accepting responsibility when you don't make the right ones. Humans aren't perfect, we are perfect imperfections, it's ok to make mistakes, but it's important that you get the chance to make them, or else how do you learn?

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
As I'm sure you are all very probably aware, a few weeks back Steve Jobs passed away.
For those who don't know, his genius brought us Apple, Macs, Ipods, Ipads, Iphones, things we all seem to use every day and take for granted.
I feel ashamed to say, that I didn't know this at the time but it is thanks to him that I have my favourite films, namely, Toy Story, and other Pixar films.
Back in 2005, Steve Jobs gave a very inspirational and moving speech to graduates at Stanford University. We watched it in psychology the other week, and he said something that resonated with me and stuck with me, and because I keep thinking about it I am going to put it here (along with a link of him actually saying it). He said the words, "Stay hungry, Stay foolish". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK2XvOs8e1s
I cannot agree more. People aren't hungry enough, we always think that the food is going to be served to us on a plate at some point anyway, so why work for it? We want to do less work for more money, and then we get into this cycle of everything being about money, and nothing being about caring. It's all about academic achievement in schools, not a focus on the children because of who they are. Steve Jobs did not make it through college, and look how far he got. And neither did Bill Gates, he didn't pass his exams, and now he is the owner of microsoft.
"The Dali Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered, "Man. Because he sacrifices himself in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present: the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
Just something to think about. And RIP Steve Jobs. God Bless.

Influences :)
I was speaking to someone the other day, who I really do love and value and I am so glad I met, and she was talking about all of my "strengths". I'm not going to list what was said because I think it sounds a bit big headed, but she was giving me a huge ego boost at any rate, and then something occurred to me, something that she disagreed with and I will say why she disagreed with it.
I told her, that the things she was giving me as being my strengths, were influenced heavily by other people, and I couldn't really take credit for them, because it is all things I have learnt from others.
She disagreed. She told me that she thinks I already had those qualities in me and innate, and they were simply enhanced when I am around the people that I believe influence me.
Now, I aren't sure what to think. I think it maybe better to accept that a variety of things come together to make me me, my environment (and my influences), my genetic make up, the fact that I am an INFJ personality type, the fact that I am a leo, or a wood dog, or my friends and the people that I meet in life, they all make me me, but I never actually think of me making me me, and the lady I was with the other day opened my eyes to this.
At any rate, it gave me a lot to think about. We tend not to think of our own strengths, but just for a little while today I'd ask you to think, what are yours?

Its The Small Things In Life That Make A Difference.
While I waited for someone the other day for a meeting, I was lying on bean bags watching the sun shine through the leaves outside, it was like they had created a natural disco ball, and I imagined all the small animals outside that nobody really notices were having a huge party underneath the shimmering lights.
The lady I went to see, had a conversation with me, she said I looked miles away, I told her quite simply that I was looking at the trees. We concluded that I was looking at the trees to recharge my batteries a little, I think then in that case that we should all spend time to look at the trees a little, because once in a while I think it is important that we all recharge our batteries.
With this same lady (who I think is a wonderful person I have to add) we spoke about a lot of things, we were supposed to go into the art room like we normally do, but a fire alarm changed things a little, it was sunny so we went and sat on the grass, and I didn't tell her, but even sitting on the grass gave me more things to think about.
I was playing with the grass on the floor, and I thought about the feeling of it between my fingertips. Brushing gently, tickling slightly, ever so soft and gentle, and I learnt to love it, because I don't take notice of the feel of grass very often, and above all else I think that shames me, I live in a world full of it, so why have I spent so long taking little notice of it?
And I thought about the sky. It was a brilliant blue while we were out there the other day, it was warm out but we were part in shade so I shivered a little, but we were away from everywhere else, or at least it seemed as though we were, we had started on top of a hill, and when it got too hot had moved further down, I couldn't see the building behind us, or hear the cars, or see the road or any of the other people, it was just me and the lady I was with (who I trust with my life) and I was happy to sit an talk with her, anything else could have been going on in the world but there for that hour we wernt aware of it, which was kind of peaceful. I made the lady I was with look at the sunlight coming through the leaves before we left that spot, I made her realise how beautiful it was, because I'd been with her for an hour, and I don't think she had realised on any sort of conscious level until I told her directly to look at it. But anyway, back to the sky. It was brilliant blue, and there were random fluffy white candyfloss clouds making pictures in the sky.
I remember once when I was little, this is one of the first memories I have, I was really small, we were in a car waiting for my dad to come out of a shop, and it was just me and my grandma, my brother and sister wernt born yet, and it was sort of tea time-ish but in the summer so still pretty light. My Grandma pointed it out to me, it was a cloud that looked like a giant in a bath tub, we could even make out where his arms were, and on one of them it looked like he was holding a sponge. I laughed, and spent ages looking at it, and from that moment always tried to look for pictures in clouds, I like staring at them, it makes me feel small, it makes me feel as if all of my problems are nothing in comparison with this huge universe, even those clouds in the sky, which are never going to be the same clouds twice, are taking up more of this universe than I am, so I dont have much reason to be scared anymore. After my Grandma had pointed that cloud out to me, I made a story about him in my head, I dreamt of that giant that night, and it's a dream which comes back to me often, even now though im in my teens, I still dream about that cloud giant in the bath. It reminded me of Jack and the Beanstalk, the story (one of many) which I begged for again and again before I went to bed, I settled myself readily with the idea that giants have big mansions in the sky, and that if i found the right beans I would make a stalk like Jacks and go and visit, but my giant would not grind my bones to make his bread, my giant was always nice, lonely but liked my company and I liked his, and the giant in the bathtub only made me believe it more.
I remember once aswell, being a bit older, walking home from school, I was feeling a little downhearted about an incident from school, and I happened to look up to the sky, and the cloud looked like an arm, with a hand at the end, it looked like a perfect hand, a helping hand (as I am prone to think as I have a mind that thinks in metaphors and always has done). I'm not religious, so I'm not going to say I thought it was the hand of god come to help me like it does in the simpsons, but it certainly gave me a little more hope than I'd had before, and it certainly made me smile.
Now, I'm thinking about the feel of sand on bare feet. How it dislodges between your toes, and makes it hard to get anywhere. How it feels warm, until you dig it up and get to where it is getting wet and colder.
And the feel of snow on your bare hands. The stinging sensation that takes your breath away. The silence that accompanies falling snow, everything is silent and peaceful. The look of freshly fallen snow, blinding, before anyone taints the snow on the ground with heavy footsteps, just when it is there, and untainted, untouched, pure and perfect. And when you do step in it, the crunch of it underneath your shoes. Last winter, I went out at 12.30am, and made snow angels, it was snowing, I could see the flakes fall from the sky in the light of the streetlamps. I had been ill, but none of that mattered, it didnt matter that I'd had a tough year, I was in the hear and now, making an angel in the snow. I took of my gloves, and placed both hands to the ground, and my handprints remained there for as long as the snow did, I wrote my name, and imagined that the image of it has been ingrained into someones memory as they walked by, and if they really put their minds to it, they'll remember the name that they saw written in the snow on the street as they walked by on that cold december day.
Have you held a baby this year? I have. and she pulled my glasses from my eyes, and then laughed as though it was the most hilarious joke in the whole universe! And I loved her for that, for pure untainted simpleness. For not wanting any more than finding pulling my glasses off hilarious. For not judging me for what I have been, for what I have done, but for watching how I am now and responding to that. For giving love so freely, without really wanting anything but love in return, a baby has the right view on life, and it's a shame that we lose that view as we get older, showing love becomes a more arduous process, it becomes harder for us to accept that we love someone, and slowly it gets forgotten, which is a massive massive shame.
What I'm trying to say is, notice the small things, feel the sand beneath your feet, or the snow on your hand, hear the crash of the waves, or a babies cry, or a heartbeat, or a birdsong, or even hear the silence of falling snow. When you breath, think about breathing, about what it means to be breathing, about what it means to be here, here on the earth with these particular people at this specific time. Smile for no reason, just because you can. Or, when you next see the sun shine through the leaves, imagine the little animals that nobody notices are having a party, and join them, be thankful for the things you take for granted every day, and most of all:
Keep Smiling :)
Love, Tutti-Frutti

The lady I went to see, had a conversation with me, she said I looked miles away, I told her quite simply that I was looking at the trees. We concluded that I was looking at the trees to recharge my batteries a little, I think then in that case that we should all spend time to look at the trees a little, because once in a while I think it is important that we all recharge our batteries.
With this same lady (who I think is a wonderful person I have to add) we spoke about a lot of things, we were supposed to go into the art room like we normally do, but a fire alarm changed things a little, it was sunny so we went and sat on the grass, and I didn't tell her, but even sitting on the grass gave me more things to think about.
I was playing with the grass on the floor, and I thought about the feeling of it between my fingertips. Brushing gently, tickling slightly, ever so soft and gentle, and I learnt to love it, because I don't take notice of the feel of grass very often, and above all else I think that shames me, I live in a world full of it, so why have I spent so long taking little notice of it?
And I thought about the sky. It was a brilliant blue while we were out there the other day, it was warm out but we were part in shade so I shivered a little, but we were away from everywhere else, or at least it seemed as though we were, we had started on top of a hill, and when it got too hot had moved further down, I couldn't see the building behind us, or hear the cars, or see the road or any of the other people, it was just me and the lady I was with (who I trust with my life) and I was happy to sit an talk with her, anything else could have been going on in the world but there for that hour we wernt aware of it, which was kind of peaceful. I made the lady I was with look at the sunlight coming through the leaves before we left that spot, I made her realise how beautiful it was, because I'd been with her for an hour, and I don't think she had realised on any sort of conscious level until I told her directly to look at it. But anyway, back to the sky. It was brilliant blue, and there were random fluffy white candyfloss clouds making pictures in the sky.
I remember once when I was little, this is one of the first memories I have, I was really small, we were in a car waiting for my dad to come out of a shop, and it was just me and my grandma, my brother and sister wernt born yet, and it was sort of tea time-ish but in the summer so still pretty light. My Grandma pointed it out to me, it was a cloud that looked like a giant in a bath tub, we could even make out where his arms were, and on one of them it looked like he was holding a sponge. I laughed, and spent ages looking at it, and from that moment always tried to look for pictures in clouds, I like staring at them, it makes me feel small, it makes me feel as if all of my problems are nothing in comparison with this huge universe, even those clouds in the sky, which are never going to be the same clouds twice, are taking up more of this universe than I am, so I dont have much reason to be scared anymore. After my Grandma had pointed that cloud out to me, I made a story about him in my head, I dreamt of that giant that night, and it's a dream which comes back to me often, even now though im in my teens, I still dream about that cloud giant in the bath. It reminded me of Jack and the Beanstalk, the story (one of many) which I begged for again and again before I went to bed, I settled myself readily with the idea that giants have big mansions in the sky, and that if i found the right beans I would make a stalk like Jacks and go and visit, but my giant would not grind my bones to make his bread, my giant was always nice, lonely but liked my company and I liked his, and the giant in the bathtub only made me believe it more.

Personality Types.
I've been looking recently into my personality type, for a bit of personal reflection, insight and enlightnement into the way that I am, why I am the way that I am and how I should interact with others to become the best that my personality will allow me to be. I've found out some interesting points, my personality seems to be a mix of a couple of things, including my star sign.
Firstly though, I looked at the personality classifications according to Jung and Meyers, and di a personality test based on their findings. Their proposal is that there are 16 variations of personality, the one that I fall under is the rarest of all the types (you can trust me to get this), only 1 to 3 percent of the population is thought to have this personality type and is called the INFJ type, otherwise known as Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging. More commonly seen in counsellors (helpful as thats what I want to go in to) psychologists ect or jobs which enable us to help people.
Traits of an INFJ
Gentle, caring, thinking, sensitive, deep and highly complex individuals. Incredibly intuitive, may know something without even knowing how they know it. Creative and artisitic, live in a world of hidden meanings. Put a lot of faith into instincts and intuition. People orientated, deeply concerned for human race as a whole, generally idealistic. Natural "dooers" aswell as thinkers, and naturally take on a lot of responsibility. May appear extroverted to some, but are natural introverts, the introvertedness usually being seen when they are hurt or confused, they withdraw into themselves, being dislikers of conflict. Also the introvertedness can be seen as a defense mechanism as they are incredibly emphatic towards others issues, to the extent where it can end up hurting them, so an introvertedness is a way of replenishing their systems and emotional well being. Can experience health problems readily when under a lot of stress. Must live in accordance with what they believe is right in their own value systems. Well attuned to an internal world of thoughts, emotions and fantasies. Communicate very well usually, and have very good linguistic skills, have very good expression by way of writing or other artistic traits.
Furthermore, I am a Leo, which also fits in some ways:
Traits of a Leo.
Natural cheerful tendancy and ability to show a brave face to the world at large. People tend to look up to Leos, they are very charismatic and caring people. Recognise we have a responsibility to others, particularly those who are shyer or are not as able as we are. Inclined to do rather too much and seemingly inexhaustible energy. Natural tendancy to look confident even when we may be very underconfident on the inside. Warm hearted and loving. Combination of bravery, altruism and protectiveness. With an element of fire, this shows us as naturally warm, but fire is also doesnt plan its next move, it's illogical, like us who rely on intuition and instincts. With a key planet the sun, the sun which gives life to everything on earth, and we have a playful and loving nature.
Chinese year of the dog (1994) Traits.
A giving and compassionate personality. Offers kind words, support and advice. Listener, often knowing more about friends than friends know about us and sometimes themselves. Incredibly attentive, though in private akin to worrying a lot. Honest and trustworthy, strong ethics and morally kept. Honest and trustworthy and make loyal companions. Dislike becoming angry or agressive and seeing injustice. Held in high regard by their friends and rarely hold grudges.
Specifically I am a wood dog, the traits of which are as follows:
Well rounded, adaptable, flexible and laid back, but do prefer to be part of a group not being AS independent as other dogs. May seem shy at first but eventually become warm and affectionate and very loyal and loving. Its said dogs also make excellent counsellors and psychologists.
So in a nutshell, this is me. I'm happy that my personality traits across the board seem to point to me going into counselling ect, because that is where I have wanted to end up for years now. I'm impressed with finding out more about myself, I think it is a demise that we all should do for personal enlightenment.
Keep Smiling :)

Sobering though this may be, I have to mention it.
This post is not my usual happy smiley posts. This is a subject that reached out to millions, touched the lives of millions, even those of us (like myself) who were at the time so young, and so small, and so far away from it all. I'm sure those of you reading will already have guessed what I'm talking about, but I'll say it anyway:
Tomorrow, 11th September 2011, is the tenth anniversary of the day when the twin towers in New York were hit by terrorist bombers, destroying literally millions of lives.
I feel I would be neglecting my duty as a caring human being if I didn't put up a post in honor of those wonderful people, who lost their lives trying to save others. Obviously I'm speaking of the emergency services, the policemen, the firemen, the paramedics, all did fabulously. But also civilians helping other people in need, and being pulled together through what I certainly regard as one of the worst and biggest travesties of the 20th century.
I was 7 years old when the towers were hit in 2001. We'd just started a new term. I remember my mother coming to pick me up from school, I noted the soberness on the faces of all of the adults around me, they spoke in hushed voices, they looked upset, and something didn't feel right. My mother told me that the twin towers in America had been hit by 2 planes, and that it was all over the news. I didn't understand at first, it meant nothing to me, I didn't even really know what the twin towers were, and then we got home, and I saw for myself what she meant. I watched in horror as they played the repeated images of the planes hitting the towers, and of the towers falling. But worse than that were the people, we noted with utter terror the people throwing themselves from the windows of the world trade center, and witnessed their chilling falls to the floor, and cried at the impossible position in which they found themselves, and the awful predicament they left their families in. Worst of all, for my 7 year old mind, was the peoples faces, I didn't understand what a terrorist attack was, I didn't understand why people had hijacked the planes and thrown them in to the world trade centers (I still don't understand to be honest), but I had an inkling of the impact it made on the American people, all over the news their ash covered faces were spread, all of them crying, and there was a look of utter loss and desolation, they looked like people who could never be repaired, who's worlds had literally, crumbled down around them, and even to me at that small age, I cried as I watched them.
It's been 10 years, and I never get used to those images, they still chill me to the core each and every time that I see them, they still manage to make me cry. Just recently, I happened to come across a recording of a man who was high up in one of the towers when it fell, the mans name was Kevin Crosgrove, it was a heart wrenching thing to listen to, and the phone cuts off when the tower falls, and from that we know his fate, and it makes me sob to hear it, I heard it once and it stayed with me, and I think will for the rest of my life. And this is me, I dont even live in NY and it had a profound effect on me, and so to everyone in America who had loved ones die in this terrible event, my thoughs are with you, all the time but especially tomorrow.
On a brighter note, I think America should be proud of how far they've come in 10 years, They have shown the opposition that they are not scared, a point that was made so well by talk of another world trade center, they carried on fighting when they could have quite as easily gone down, and stopped fighting, but they fought for a country with people worth fighting for. And though it seemed hopeless 10 years ago, and the scars wont ever go away, families are still in pain over the people they lost, theres some hope to find in the way as a country America has pulled through.
A minutes silence for those killed during 9/11, brave soldiers, never forgotten and never truly gone.
I know its hard sometimes but

Autumn :D
When you step out in the morning, and feel a chill in the air, that temporarily takes your breath, autumn is coming.
When the leaves on the trees transform, magically into reds and oranges and golds, as though the angels themselves have flown down and painted them, autumn is coming.
When the trees shiver against the wind, and the leaves dance and twirl gracefully to the ground, like ballet dancing fairies, autumn is coming.
When they settle on the ground, a gigantic auburn carpet, that crackles beneath your feet with each step you take, autumn is coming.
When the nights draw in fast, and the darkness takes you by surprise, autumn is coming. Do not be afraid of the falling darkness, for it comes with autumn, it accompanies the dancing leaves and the shivering trees, it accompanies the breathtaking beauty, the colours, and though it's cold outside, autumn can warm your heart to the core if you let it.
Keep Smiling :)
Love, Tutti-Frutti

Funny Quirky Things I've Read Today.
So I was feeling a little bored earlier and I started to look up some things on the internet and found some funny quotes ect which I simply feel like sharing.
1) (highlighting the importance of adequate spelling!) "You're like a rainstorm while I am standing in a dessert"-How sentimental, your other half is standing in a cake. :)
2) (From a blog written for psychology graduates) "Whilst chewing on a pen in class- Shut up Freud sometimes a penis.....damn" If you need the explanation for this, highlight the words between the astrixs *Freud suggested that pretty much all of the things we do are somehow linked to sexual fantasys, things phallic ie a pen or a pencil that can be seen as phallic for penis ect, also there was coined the term Freudian slip whereby a person makes a mistake in the words they come out with because that is waht their unconscious is really telling them, thats pretty much what the previous comment is taking the piss out of, there was the phallic in the pen, and the slip in them saying "penis" instead of pen is.*
3) (someones real insurance claim stated) "an invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car, then vanished!"
4) (and another, ive got a few funny insurance claims)- "I had been driving forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident (I'd get pretty tired after forty years too to be honest!).
5) "My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle"
6) "The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him" (The use of that comma reforms this whole sentence and makes it sound awful, grammar always helps people!)
Thats enough for a bit :)

1) (highlighting the importance of adequate spelling!) "You're like a rainstorm while I am standing in a dessert"-How sentimental, your other half is standing in a cake. :)
2) (From a blog written for psychology graduates) "Whilst chewing on a pen in class- Shut up Freud sometimes a penis.....damn" If you need the explanation for this, highlight the words between the astrixs *Freud suggested that pretty much all of the things we do are somehow linked to sexual fantasys, things phallic ie a pen or a pencil that can be seen as phallic for penis ect, also there was coined the term Freudian slip whereby a person makes a mistake in the words they come out with because that is waht their unconscious is really telling them, thats pretty much what the previous comment is taking the piss out of, there was the phallic in the pen, and the slip in them saying "penis" instead of pen is.*

Just a Little Giggle.
I have an amazing and fantastic little brother who is 10 years old. He's been staying at my Grandmas this weekend and he wrote a letter to Dr Who whilst he was there concerning their recent episode, it reads:
Dear Dr Who. I am confused. In your recent episode Mel says, "Lets kill Hitler" but all you do is put him in a cupboard?
I nearly died laughing when I read it, he's perfectly right of course, Mel does say Lets kill Hitler, and in reality the doctor saves him from being killed, and then sticks him into a cupboard, so I guess that is a little confusing. :)
I love kids, they come out with some of the best things in the world, and my brother is a good un!
Keep Smiling :)

Freedom Festival (September 2011)
Basically yesterday was amazing :) And I'm going to write about the amazing day that I had yesterday.
I've been staying with Grandma and so been really well looked after. And where I used to live they hold this festival in September called Freedom Festival, as the name suggests the events are free, only food and drinks and very few events cost anything. And the atmosphere is amazing, but I digress, I'll tell you about it in chronological order.
So, I got up pretty early, and Grandma bought me McDonalds breakfast which was lovely (albeit bad for me but once in a while never harmed anyone). And then we got on the bus (in a fasion anyway, Grandma banged her head on the bus wong mirror and knocked it out of place so the bus driver had to go and move it back! I laughed like mad but it came back on me- as we were getting off the bus I stood up fast and cracked my head on the roof of the bus!
We went to the most amazing art exhibition I have ever seen. It was called Mirazozo and it was this huge inflatable thing and when you walk inside it it looks a bit like a maze and its dead easy to get lost, but everything is lit up, its all in lights! and theres soothing music as you go along it and there are little pods that you can just sit down in and relax for a while :)
We went and bought tea and I bumped into a couple of friends which was lovely, and then we went back to the place where the films were being streamed in time to watch Mamma Mia which was amazing as everyone was singing along and dancing. Then after Mamma Mia there was an Abba Tribute band who were really good and had a lot of milkshakes (I had a nutella milkshake which was lovely, but then I tried Irish Cream and kept having those after that because they were addictive). After the Abba tribute band the big screen played Greese, and the atmosphere was just amazing, everyone was dancing and singing and when greese lightning came on everyone was hyped to the extreme!
After this we were very tired

From there we went and had dinner while we watched Toy Story 3 which was being streamed on the big screen in the centre, the atmosphere was lovely. It was sunny and warm and I love the Toy Story films, and all around there was children playing and familys together and it was just the nicest feeling.
Then we wandred around the city centre for a bit, watching dancers and singers and irish folk songs live which was fantastic. I bought a wrist band that says the dates of the festival to remind me of the day (like i was going to forget it).

Then later we went to another art exhibition thing which was sort of tribal, they were on big platforms dancing to tribal music and painting onto squares and they made some fantastic pictures! Very prominent, they all had messeges, but they were amazing.
After this we were very tiredbut in good spirits all the same, we walked home seeing a fancy dress party with an oompa loompa and beetleguese, it was hilarious.
All in all its been a fantastic time yesterday :) I loved every second.
Keep Smiling :)

Being Me :D
I wear odd socks deliberately. I laugh at things that other people don't even find at all amusing. I cry hard at films both in happy points and sad. I love Glee, High School Musical and Lemonade Mouth. And on the flip side of the coin, I love My Chemical Romance and Paramore, aswell as all the mainstream stuff you hear in the charts. I prefer reading to watching the television. I like my yorkshire puddings with chocolate spread, and my cucumber with tomato sauce. I like looking at things upside down. And when I'm outside I'm always bumping into things because usually I'm looking up at the sky instead of looking at my surroundings like most people do. I don't go out an awful lot (though I do sometimes). I sing too loudly and far too much. I dont care how old I get, Disney films will always remain my favourite films. I talk to everyone regardless of who they are and where I've found them. If you piss me off, you'll sure as hell know it. Dr Seuss said "You're you, now isn't that pleasant". I don't like everything about myself, there is a lot that I would change, but there's a lot that I cant change and so I learn to accept it. I refuse to be a clone of everyone else, I'm me and the truth of the matter is, no matter how crazy and strange and socially deviant we are, someone out there will always be willing to accept us despite it. And so knowing this, I'm going to continue being me! The people who dont like it-fine! I cant be everyones cup of tea (or coffee, or glass of wine or whatever people drink nowadays). I'd rather be me and happy, than be them and be unhappy.
Keep Smiling :)

Being Assertive.
I'm not really one for confrontation. I get on well with pretty much everyone I meet and I don't really like getting into conflict. But that doesn't mean that I let people walk all over me. I like to be able to see the best in people, but the reality is that while all of us are in possession of good and bad traits, sometimes some people seem to use more of their bad traits then they do of their good traits, and in times when you come across people like this it is important that you can stay assertive and stick up for yourself.
I've had to do this a few times today. I wasn't rude to the people, but I didn't let them take me for a fool either. I was in a shop that I wont name, trying to get my laptop sorted otu (I've been having some problems with my charger) and basically since I bought the laptop less than 21 days ago they are supposed to give me a replacement laptop, which they wernt doing. After a few phone calls from my father (who I have to admit was rather more irate at them than I was, I was being rather more placid) they eventually gave us what we asked for, and I'm sat here typing to you now on a new netbook.
Later on today I encountered another problem, an older man got on the bus and came and sat opposite me, I then noticed that he was blatently staring at me which I have to admit was making me feel rather uneasy. I treid to ignore him at first, I turned my music up and looked out of the window, but all the time I could feel his eyes on me, and to be perfectly honest as well as making me feel uneasy I was also becoming slightly annoyed because what right does he have to stare at me? Yes I am female, yes I do have a body and certain parts and no I'm not willing to share it with him, I do not dress before I go out with the intention of catching attention, I dress in pretty clothes because I like to wear pretty clothes, not so that creepy old guys can stare at me on a bus. Anyway, eventually I turned to him and (im not normally this nasty to people but thers just something I hate so much about being stared at, especially by old men) said "What the hell are you looking at?" Now I don't know whether the guy thought I was mute or what but he certainly didn't expect me to speak I dont think, and I shocked him out of staring at me, after I'd said that he diverted his attention out of the window and not at me.
Usually I'm pretty shy, so I'm glad I was able to do that, it does make me feel good sometimes to know that I can be assertive and I don't always have to do what other people tell me to do just because they tell me to do it, the thing is is that I am also human just as they are, they aren't any higher up than me even if they are older, I love being polite and getting on with people, but if I really do believe that something is wrong, then I'm happy to say I'm not afraid to say it. We don't have to be rude to people to be assertive (I know I was fairly rude to the man on the bus, but I have slight issues with being stared at, especially when I wasnt doing him any harm or in fact paying him any attention) but we can be assertive without being aggressive and I think thats important to remember, because often people think its two sides of the same coin but it's not.
Remember then, be asserive, you're human too, just like the person you're talking too and there isn't a readon that they have any right to always push you around!

Baby Steps.
Anyone who has ever observed a baby trying to walk for the first time will most probably understand this post and what I am trying to say. When a baby first tries to walk, they have utter concentration, they know what they want. They will take teeny tiny little steps. They will stop and wobble slightly. They will fall and land on the floor and cry maybe. They will get frustrated. Then they will stand up and try again and again and again until they have a grip on it.
Why am I mentioning this then? No i havent gone mad contrary to popular belief. I've mentioned this because sometimes its hard for us to fall down and then stand back up again. As adults we tend to try to run before we can walk. And then we fall with such a force it feels as though we cant ever stand back up again. So I urge you to think like a baby, take tiny little steps to reach your destination, gentle steps, so if you fall you don't hurt yourself so much. And have the determination of a baby, babies dont stop until they do something, they might stop for breath but they never completly give in.
And remember this, falling is not failing, we only fail when we neglect to get back up again. As my pshychology teacher so rightly told me, if you fall off your horse 8 times, you get back on 9.
Keep Smiling :)
