Random thoughts #laziness

Good (insert time of day while reading this) to you, obviously my title has been quite misleading  thinking you would now be reading an interesting, perhaps even funny post and you will not be reading such a thing. You are now however committed to reading it and I am trusting you to carry on reading past this point so no clicking off now!

Every now and then I will have the odd silent moment to myself where I have the chance to think about really random things/situations so I am now going to fill this post with as many random things that I can think of that I have thought to myself about.

* What would it be like to be the pope? It's common knowledge with the people that know me, I would love to be the pope.. I literally don't fully know why, all I know is that of all the people/roles in the world I would love to be the pope. I genuinely think it would be great to drive about in the pope mobile for the day!

* it's so weird that when things get sent to the queen for her royal ascent, she never says no because if so many people want it (enough for the paper to be sent to her) then who is she to deny it. My law teacher even says she wouldn't even say no if it was to get rid of the monarchy - I would personally say no if I was the queen but each to their own.

*Speaking of the queen, what does she think about, what does she really love doing, does she enjoy reading, does she knit? I bet she loves a good crossword or a sudoku. Also, has she ever changed any of the royal babies nappies or even anything of the sort.

*Who decided words are words and that they mean the things they mean. Like who decided to call the thing we sit on a chair, its mad!

*What do dogs actually think about? They have such chilled lives - what would my little cass say if she could speak to me? (Probably "get me a treat now")

*You know when someone is talking to you and they say 'is that OK?' what would they then do if you turned around and said 'well actually, no it's not OK' like honestly what would they do?

*What goes through peoples heads when they're so unnecessarily rude to other people? Don't get me wrong my skin is pretty thick, I can 100% take it from people but there's plenty of people that can't. Just an example is the other week I was at work and someone rang up and asked a question I physically couldn't answer, nor could anyone in the office (had they given me the chance to fully explain our process he may not have been so rude) but he ended the call by saying 'that's great that you cant answer my questions, thanks, bye.' there's just no need in it at all

*where do people that come up with horror stories get their imagination from, what actually possess' people to write such grim films.

It's been ages since I actually wrote something and for that I'm sorry, I just can never think of anything I want to write at all. It's so annoying, if you have any ideas or can think of anything that would be good, please let me know in the comments!

Strange things that are completely normal!

So a few days ago, I was thinking about some stuff and I realised there's so much that we do or that happens that's so normal but when you think about it, its actually so strange, so of course I decided to make a list of everything I thinks absolutely weird.

1. Words/Nouns - I think its so strange that people came up with names for things and words and just decided that that's what things were, how did we decide that, just as an example, elephants would be called elephants or that the word there would point out the direction/ or position of something. Plus, who decided that letters would look the way they do? Did  someone just say it and it stuck.. was there meetings on it? I don't know but i'd actually love to :')
2. Accents - On the subject of words, how is it that the place you grew up in determines the sound of your voice, I get now that it just a matter of children pick it up from the environment, but to start with, where did the accents come from, how is it that people from one end of England sound so different to people from the other en of England, its the exact same country! It actually does baffle me!
3. Milk - There are so many weird things about milk that I don't get. Why do we drink something that is produced to feed the young of other animals, who decided we should drink it or that it was safe for us to drink it and what were they doing when they made such a profound discovery?
4. Our body - When you think about it, like seriously think about it, our bodies are bloody mental, amazing but mental. First off, while we sit here, our bodies are pumping blood around, making antibodies, repairing cuts, even enabling me to write this and you to read this post - crazy right? Not just that but we also have one long uninterrupted tube going all the way through our body that takes our food, digests it, compresses it and then gets rid of it, now that is mad!
5. Superstition - I am a really superstitious person, I won't step on three drains with out saying 'black magic', I wont walk under a ladder, I won't cross on the stairs without my fingers crossed and it's the same for walking under sign posts and scaffolding. To some it might be weird but I do it without even a second thought, it's almost like breathing to me.
6.  The Earth - No matter where you are in the world, we will see the exact same sun, moon and stars as everyone else, we have a huge, huge planet but we still see the exact same things, that's crazy if you ask me. Not only that but the earth is so magic, it has it's own little system just to keep everything here alive, us, animals, plants... it's just like a giant ball of life giving gas and rock!

This post took a lot of thinking, but when you do think about it, there is so much stuff that if you just give it a tiny thought, you'll find weird too. If there are any points you agree with or even things you find really weird.. just leave it in the comments below, I'd love to hear some more weird things. Thanks for reading,

Memory Lane Monday!

In the last few weeks of year 11 like most people in the same year around the UK - I had a leavers book for everyone to sign (like a year book but better). I didn't fill the book so I decided I'd write a letter to myself in the future. It's been about 3/4 years since writing it and I decided I'd type it up and see what's changed since then (it's a lot). I think it's quite cringey but it's a nice thing to do because looking back at it, it helps me remember everything both before and around that time.

Dear Hayley, 

Right now you're 15, 16 soon!! It's the 2nd of june and yesterday you left school and cried for an hour literally 'probably more though'. You've just read through your leavers book and cried again. Today your listening to the radio which makes a change because you're always watching some crap on TV 'no change there then'. You go to NCS soon and your really excited because it's with your bestfriend nicole 'after a huge argument (entirely my fault) and a year of not talking we're not bestfriends anymore but we're still friends. NCS was extremely good though'. Well you did it, you survived secondary school, one thats filled with idiots and bullies.. obviously ignorance is bliss 'told you it was cringy'. 

When you're older you want: 

♥An old pink mini 'Changed to a new mint green soft top mini'

♥two children, a girl called Liberty-Skye and a boy called Niall 'Still true - I wonder where I got the boys name from'  

♥a job in the police force 'cause you're offit'. 'Now I just want a job in admin'

Right now, your hair is ginger, you've been:

♥Brown

♥Browny-red

♥red

♥purple

♥Black 'I can now add blonde to that'

and you've dip dyed it twice three times now! You're really scared for college and your probably reading this thinking 'wtf.. it was a doddle!' 'not quite hayley, not quite' I don't doubt it was but you're pooing yourself for it now anyway! Last night was good at the leavers campout, it was hilarious Jane* shouting at everyone for being half seshes and then she went at like 10. You, col, liam, char and jamie stayed til midnight cause you's are offit. Ash and Neil* stayed all night bless them. The fire was nice too, you don't like Neil because he called you fat.. your not arsed anymore but you still don't like him. Oh god, the leavers assembly was cute as, there were a tonne of old photos that you didn't even remember being taken. The photo of Mr Miller made you and Holl cry the most cause it was just him. Shocking that he still isn't back isn't it, well he might be when your reading this. 'Sadly Mr miller isnt back and will not be back ever - he was sacked and more and more teachers have left' All I know is the best teacher you've ever had, all his little stories and everything!

Everyones written in here about your happiness and your always doing your best to smile when youd rather not . You'd be weird without your smile by the sounds of it! OMG your braces, I assume you'll have them off by now? Are they nice, are you looking after your teeth properly now? You can't wait to see! 'they are off but not in the conventional way (I took them off myself because im terrified of the orthadontist)'

You can be such a freak, do you know that? If you read some of the messages in here like the people you're close to, their hilarious! You were a stalker, an alcho, a fattie and a genuine weirdo! I hope you havent changed, here's all your favourite things: 

Colours - 

♥Reddy-Pink

♥Purple

♥Bluey Green 'All still true'

Films -

♥Starstruck

♥Diary of a Wimpy Kid

♥any Harry Potter

♥Cat in the Hat

♥John Tucker Must Die

♥4321

♥Mean Girls

♥Step Brothers

♥Catch me if you can 'I haven't watched half of these in ages, starstruck is still my fave though'

food - 

♥Ready Salted Crisps

♥McDonalds

♥tomatoes

♥Spag Bol

♥Pizza

♥Freddos

♥Poptarts 'All still true'

books - 

♥Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging 1-7

♥ All Harry Potters

♥True Story books

♥the twilight saga 'I now love tfios and if I stay too and tonnes more but im not sure'

Aw Hayley, I hope you've done well in school/college and go far 'I'd say I did well, I passed everything and got into uni.. I just didn't go'! In case you forget how offit you were, here is a picture to show you! At Teeside Uni, people were asked to do an experiment so you (thinking others from your school would) shot your hand up, turns out it was just you and creeps from teeside high, well done midge! Good luck and stay offit!

The photo mentioned

Wow what a long bloody letter that was! in case you're wondering, the names jane and neil are names that have been changed because I don't think I should keep their real names in but every one elses are real! also if you cant tell, the bits in the letter that arent in italics are me now so I've annotated it sort of. Like I said, its a really nice thing to do if like me you really like to hold onto memories, if your in your last year of school I definitely suggest you write a little letter to yourself for a few years time it's like a non-buried time capsule.   

Im thinking of doing more 'memory lane monday' posts so if you have any ideas they would be more than welcome. I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy writing them, I mean I don't mind if you don't, I'm mainly writing them for me anyway but, it'd be v nice if more than just myself enjoyed reading them.

Don't worry.. Be Happy

I worry - A LOT and I wish I didn't and it probably wont even change but maybe having a written down example as to why I shouldn't worry will give me a sort of tangible reminder that it (the worrying thing) can be fine!

So last Wednesday I had a job interview and it was extremely important to me because it's a job I really want. After applying I had to wait over 3 weeks for a reply and as it was my second time applying for the role (different recruiting schemes) I wasn't optimistic at all but I was overjoyed when I saw I had an interview. 
      I decided (even though this was in November) that I wanted to be interviewed in January as it'd give me time to acclimatise and be prepared. It did work, I felt fully confident I knew what to do in the interview. On Wednesday I was going shopping with Hollie (I've mentioned her before) and we made it back a little late. I didn't panic too much because it wasn't too far away, I then looked at my confirmation email to check what I needed to take and found that I was supposed to attend 30 minutes before the interview.. queue a major panic! 
      I met Holl at the bus stop and cried my eyes out, I was so scared that I wouldn't be interviewed because of how late I was.. by the time I got there I was about an hour late including the turning up half an hour early. To calm me down Holl decided we'd be best off walking to another bus stop that was further away and all the while she was saying so much encouraging things ('you'll be fine, loads of people turn up late', 'they're not gonna say you can't be interviewed.. they'll probably be happier you came at all rather than leaving it') but in my head it just wasn't working, I wasn't able to calm down until I got there! 
      When I eventually made it there wasn't a single thing to worry about, the security guard confirmed everything holl was saying, apparently everyone had turned up late! The interview turned out to be the best interview I could've had, one of the interviewers was a slightly older version of me, the other interviewer was dumbstruck because of it! 

The whole point of that story is that if I hadn't gone, if I didn't have my bestfriend calming me down I would have worried myself to a point of going home and regretting it for the rest of my life! Im certainly a 'when the going gets tough - the tough get going' kind of girl and I think I may always be and I don't know why.. I just really need to change it because one day I wont have people that will calm me down and I will just end up quitting and leaving it. 

The moral of this post is: You'll never know unless you try.. don't just leave something without even giving it a go because you could end up seriously regretting it! 

The other moral is: when your bestfriend tells you it'll be fine.. listen cause shes probably right!P.S. if your reading this holl, thank you so much, I honestly don't think I'd have gone if it hadn't been for you re-assuring me and convincing me it'd be fine, I cannot thank you enough, Love you!

So yeah, this was just to show that if you just try you never know what  could happen, I am for sure glad I tried and im sure you all will be!

50 facts about me!

This is just a post to help you get to know me more, if your not someone that already knows me (which I know some of you are).

1. My full name is Hayley Louisa Elliott 
2. I was born on the 7th of august 1996 making me 18 right now, I was actually born 6 weeks early though.
3. I was born in Scarborough but moved to Teeside when I was 4, I now consider my town home because all of my life is here (friends, memories etc)
4. I'm 4'9 (and a half) I'm not too sure why, I used to say it was because I was premature.
5. When I was born I was breached (leg first) and before cutting me out, the doctor tried to pull me out causing my right foot to face inwards when I walk slightly.
6. I have Acute Hypermobilty Syndrome in my knees and it's really annoying because it means I can't run properly without it actually hurting for ages, my doctor said I'd grow out of it but I'm not actually growing so yeah, up yours Dr Kwan or whatever your name is!
7. I have an amazing group of friends, who have actually put up with a lot of shit from me to be honest and I think I used to take them for granted(not purposely, just subconsciously) but I don't now because I've realised there is going to be times when I need them and they wont be there for me if I'm a twat. Thankfully we are all there for each other and they really are the most supportive and helpful people and it's just wonderful to know I have them and when they read this I want them to know I'll always be there for them too!!
8. On the subject of friends I have one best friend (Hi Holl) and everything I've just said about our whole group in the last point applies to her and more! I literally spend so much time with her and she's just great she really is, (If your reading this Holl, love you chicken)!
9. I'm quite clever, and that's not me being big headed, I was in mainly the top sets at school and didn't do too bad in my GCSE's I even got into sixth-form, did alright in my A levels and then got into uni too. All of that aside, I am probably the doziest person you will ever meet, honestly before I said to Hollie and her sister that Newcastle was in Scotland, obviously it isn't and they haven't let it go ever since!
10. I decided not to go to uni and I'm now looking for an apprenticeship or a job!
11. I was in the school production of bugsy malone as a dancer, I'll put a photo in at the end of it haha!
12. In like year 8/9 I developed like a huge obsession with Lil wayne and young money and was obsessed with rapping like I did/still do rap all the time and I have actually rapped in front of almost my whole secondary school in the talent show with my friend Joanne, we did 'she said' by plan B and she sang and I rapped and you know what it was great! I also rapped super bass at prom too (less swearing LMFAO)
13. Most of my school reports that I've seen have a kind way of saying I need to shut up more in class. Talking is the only thing I really got told off for, other than that I was a model student. (Apart from swearing really loudly at someone when one of my teachers had asked me a question, walking out of a class cause I couldn't get sent out, throwing a cup of water in another girls face and throwing salad at someone and not cleaning it up)
14. Lots of people used to say something about my height and it only ever bothered me if it was a teacher like on my first day a teacher who later became my life skills teacher and enrichment leader looked at me and said 'you're tall aren't you!' I just glared at him and walked off in sassy year 7 style.. Another time my French teacher was asking for volunteers for an activity on the interactive whiteboard and I knew the answer but she didn't pick me and then said in front of the whole class, 'I didn't think you'd be able to reach the answer Hayley' So yeah
15. I am quarter Italian and this is what I blame my short height on because Italians are short!
16. It has only rained on my birthday 3 times ever, and considering I live in England I think that's pretty good!
17. I have so many favourite films but of all of them I could never get bored of Billy Elliot or any harry potter, they're my absolute favourites
18. I am the clumsiest of people, I'm forever walking into door frames and tripping over nothing. I was just as bad as a child, so bad in fact that at on point the hospital were monitoring me for child abuse (not that there was any) this was because from the age of two, I was very defiant, if I was told not to touch something I would and it wouldn't always be paint or other harmless things it'd be an iron that's turned on or a heater that was turned on too, I was terrible.
19. The only things I eat at McDonald's is a quarter pounder meal with cola or a cheeseburger or a chicken nugget happy meal again with cola.
20. That leads me on to my next fact, I don't say 'coke' when im talking about the drink, I say 'cola' I don't even know why, It's not even something I've done since being little.. no one even says it around me, I just don't say coke!
21. I am infatuated with Niall Horan - I literally believe I'm going to marry him, I know I wont but I will never say it's impossible because John travolta's wife saw the poster for grease walking out of the cinema and she said she was going to marry him and obviously she did so there you go! (I'm so embarrassing)
22. I watch so much TV but I only watch like two channels, three at a push and that's E4, BBC3 and Viva.
23. My favourite perfume is 'Far Away' from avon, it smells so nice either that or 'cool water - wave' by davidoff. 
24. I have a fascination with candles, I have about 6 dotted around my room and all of them are scented. 
25. Half way there I'm positive I have misophonia which is a severe hatred of specific sounds and I know everyone hates some sounds but this is to the extent to where I have arguments with my mum almost every meal time and I feel so uncomfortable eating around my mum and other people - not everyone though, theres only some people I notice any sounds from. 
26. I have 3 half empty bottles of alcohol in my room that belong to hollie, my bestfriend, we're trying to see how long I'll actually keep them here.
27. I have really fair skin like I burn so much but then I tan/peel I also have tonnes of freckles all year round but they get really bad in the summer!
28. My natural hair colour is light brown but from the age of 12/13 I've been dying it, I started of reddish brown so it wasn't too bad but then I dyed it bright red (you know like when everyone did it) from there I went black, I then went ginger and kept that for about a year or less and began to bleach my hair and now I'm blonde-ish. 
29. when my hair was ginger loads of people when I started college, thought it was my natural colour and were really shocked when I told them.
30. When I was little I cried at films, not at a sad bit though, at happy bits like beauty and the beast, I didn't want the beast to turn into a prince, the jungle book, I didn't want mowgli to go to the man village and the lost toys.. I didn't want them to go home! now I dont have a clue why the happy endings upset me so much but they did and thats fine!
31. I am a morning person when im on my own but if I've just opened my eyes and my mum is in my bedroom talking to me, I feel like murdering her!
32. I sucessfully managed to hide my cracked phone from my dad from new years eve until june - and I'm not the most discreet of people!
33. I have a harry potter quote on my wall 
34. I also want a harry potter themed tattoo
35. If I'm really interested in a book, I can read it in like a day (if im not busy) when I was little I read the goblet of fire in a day.
36. I binge watch shows all the time, until I was fully caught up it was Pretty little liars (my fave), now it's the office and keeping up with the kardashians.
37. Since turning 18 over a month ago, I've only been to town twice but I haven't been ID'd in a shop once!
38. I do the annoying thing where I listen to a new song for ages until I can't stand it any more and then I get upset cause I don't like it any more!
39. Neither of my final pieces for my art coursework were completely done by me, technically I cheated but what the teacher doesn't know wont hurt! 
40. Im not actually doing 50 facts (misleading title) because I'm not interesting enough to have 50 interesting facts about myself, sorry bout it! 

If you sat and read this well done you can have 20 brownie points! Sorry I didn't end up doing 50 but I really couldnt think of anything :(

you are from mars, we are from venus - 10 (or more) things men should know!

This is probably the most found post on blogs but nonetheless I shall be making it so go get some biscuits and a drink of your choice (or not, your call) and enjoy!

1. We like to mix it up - As happy as we are to go out and do romantic couple things every now and then, contrary to popular belief, we aren't actually that arsed, we would be just as happy to have a nice night in watching bad TV with good shows, as long as you're having a good time, who cares what you're doing? (This doesn't include anniversaries though, we expect at least a little romance on those occasions). Some ideas could be finding a new show for the two of you to watch on netflix or make cakes together, I don't know the world really is your oyster, my point is we don't expect a big deal every single time we do something, we're just as happy to chill in the house doing nothing.
2. Remember little things - As weird as it sounds, you'd be surprised how many girls would agree! Not only is it proof you listen to us but it's just nice. Now I don't mean you have to listen with adoration to every word we say, I just mean if we tell you about something coming up or something we're doing remember it and ask us about it. This actually also helps when trying to buy gifts for us cause lord knows we're not the easiest to buy for! If we tell you something about our childhood, like something we had and loved but don't have any more, remember things like that or if we tell you something is our favourite perfume, when you're in the doghouse you'll know how to get yourself out! ALWAYS remember the big things too though like birthdays, anniversaries  
3. Dressing up - Girls don't get dressed up just for boys, I know people (not myself) that could put makeup on just to stay in the house and it's completely just for us. Obviously if we're meeting a boy for the first time, we'll make a good impression and look okay but we do not do it just for boys. If we're comfortable with you we'll probably wear our comfiest clothes and only a little cover-up IF THAT! 
4. Being clingy isn't good in a boy - Now I in no way mean you should be distant all the time and be hard to reach because that's upsetting and stressful. What I do mean is that you don't have to start every conversation, (if you do start every single conversation the girl is either making you work REALLY hard or she just isn't into you) if we want to talk, we will. 
5. Be a friend first - If you've just started talking to a girl and you think she's nice, talk to her as a friend first, get to know her, what she likes and what she doesn't, no respectable girl I know appreciates full on flirting the first time she talks to you. I know that you might be scared that you'll get friend-zoned but you just have to work at it and build up the flirting (make sure she knows  you're interested), don't lay the compliments on too heavy too fast either, it makes conversations so awkward when we don't know what to say back! We remember it when we're down and you can be there for us!
6. You can have friends of the opposite sex - If you're a girl and you've just read this you're probably thinking "oh hell no, if he so much as looks at a girl... we're done" and I agree IF ITS NOT PLATONIC! If a boy is friends with a girl and has been for some time, something would have happened if it was ever going to! This doesn't mean to go out and get female friends cause that's v unacceptable but if you already have them, don't push them away, it's not nice especially if you're close to them, that upsets us too!
7. We have male friends too- This point is pretty self explanatory but we do! Lots of girls have boys that they look at more as brothers than anything, we may have slight 'flanter' (flirty banter - *cringes as I type it*) with them but that's it, just like I said in the last point, if anything was ever gonna happen it would've! The only reason you'd have to feel threatened by a boy like this is if you hurt us, then your in for it (I literally sound like my nan)
8. Don't ditch - If we have plans and you get asked to go somewhere with you're friends don't just bail/ditch and then change our plans, that's not fair at all. We wouldn't expect you to ditch your friends either though, if you have plans and we ask to do something, don't lie to us or ditch your friends just say and (forgive me if I speak for myself here) but we will be understanding and it'll all be great. 
9. Give compliments, not criticism - The age old question that the entire male species dreads 'Does my bum look big in this?' (I actually have never asked that, even of myself but yeah...). This is a case of, if you have nothing nice to say don't say it.. If you think we look nice in something - tell us it'll make our day! That being said, we wouldn't want you to let us go out looking ridiculous either, just don't be rude about it, we might not be too thankful at first but after consideration, we'll realise and be glad. Even if the criticism is playful and you say you're joking, it'll stick to us for ages, gnawing away at our self esteem, I'm not even exaggerating.
10. Personal Space - This is described in the film 'angus, thongs and perfect snogging' as the elastic band theory (I'm sure any British girl reading this will understand exactly what I mean, I'm not too sure about other readers)  The gist is after a period of closeness we like to ping off (there's the elastic band we were talking about) and relax a bit, the space period probably wont be long but when we need space, it's important you let us have it, you don't have to cut communication just don't bug us and we'll return the favour when it's your turn.

Other things you should know - 

• If we ask certain questions, it isnt always because we want to know, it's because we know the answer and we want to hear it from you!
• If we say 'what did you just say?' don't actually repeat yourself, we're giving you the chance to think what you said and change your answer!
• If you've had a thing with a girl and she's still hung up on you, don't talk to her at parties cause that'll get her hopes up, don't flirt with other girls near us either. 
• Girls have ways of finding out everything, even if you're not with us there'll be someone who knows us that would tell us everything you did, just be careful!
• You should be exactly who you want around us, we don't want to find that you change entirely when we're around your friends. 

So that's it for this weeks blog (she says as if it was short) I'd like to point out that these are my opinions/views/words etc and may or may not apply to other girls, if you're a girl  and you agree (or even disagree) leave a comment and let me know, also if there's anything you want to see from me then, again, let me know in the comments and I'll get back to you or whatever!

I'd really like to thank you if you're reading this, it means a lot as a first time blogger, I'd also like to thank my friends who at such an early stage are being so supportive and nice, love yas
