Spongebob Collection

Most of us like to collect things. For me, its strange hats and spongebob stuff. My dad collects badges and unusual coins. My brother collects my little pony toys, and my mum collects...well...hoards newspapers.

So what Spongebob stuff do I have?

Admittedly, I do not have the biggest collection ever but I would definitely still count myself as a collector! Let me show you what I have:

Left to right; Spongebob keyring, Spongebob hand-puppet, Spongebob mini plushie

Miniature Spongebob Umbrella (free gift in Spongebob magazine)

My favourite Spongebob poster (I have about 4)

Cupid and Applejack Having a Tea Party

Hey there sugarcube...

My best friend Chris' nickname is Applejack. He often invites me and our other friends to tea parties and thus often runs out of teabags. Mum recently bought him a box of 'Twinings Everyday Tea' which has 160 teabags. Personally, I think it will only last him 2 months.

Sometimes...A good friend and a cup of tea can solve anything

 

My Inspiration and Media I Used

 

Tea parties with my best friend inspired me to do this drawing (above) of Applejack (representing Chris) and Cupid Bowsaw (representing myself). 

I used (mostly) watercolor pencils because I very much like their bright vibrancy of color. I use them in the same method as using regular colored pencils. 

 

Is Cupid blowing a purple bubble?

 

No. He is a unicorn whose magic dust looks like a purple aura. His unicorn horn is helpful for picking up items such teacups. Goodness knows how Applejack must manage to balance a teacup on her hoof.

Spongebob Squarepants Themed 18th

Mother said: "What would you like to do for your 18th birthday?"

I said: "A Spongebob theme would be fun!"

New Glasses

I have not been 'that girl with the glasses' since secondary school. Turns out that I need to wear them again. I am long-sighted.

Myself (left) and my brother (right)

Sam my brother needs to wear glasses as well. He is also long-sighted. If you ever want to know what my natural hair color is, it is exactly the same color as Sam's hair (very dark brown).

My Best Friend's Guinea Pigs

Darth's evil red eyes are looking at you! Even Obe is scared!

My greatest weakness is cute things. Chris' guinea pigs are certainly no exception! I love cuddling them!

But BE WARNED! They use their cuteness as their superpower! They are VERY, VERY HARD TO RESIST!

Beware if you are a cucumber!

Darth and I

Darth might be a Silver Fox Sheltie which is a very rare breed. He is the bravest of the both of them. Obe can be a bit frightened when we first put food into their house so Darth is usually the first to investigate that everything is ok. When their house needs cleaning, Darth goes inside his large cardboard tube so that he can be picked out. Very clever piggie! And he can always seem to be able to tell when Chris is about to take them out of their house (their cage) for house cleaning.

Obe Saying Hello

Despite usually being the shyest of the two, Obe is usually the easiest to pick up and cuddle. He is not quite as brave as Darth, but he is certainly the calmest. Obe is a silver agouti and white rough pet (so I have been told) but he could be a Peruvian. An expert on guinea pigs said that he probably isn't a pure-breed but he is still a very beautiful boy! Which is a nice thing to hear because Obe certainly thinks he is beautiful! There is a little mirror in the guineas' house and Obe is almost always staring at himself!

Obe and Darth Have A Facebook Page!

Please do check it out! I'm not on facebook anymore but Chris would be super happy for anyone who puts a 'like' for their facebook page:

How do I get some followers from my blog?

Any tips will be greatly appreciated (preferably nice ones)

Love to anyone who helps

Cupid Bowsaw

I finally sketched out my fan-made pony character

Introducing...

Wood against a sanding wheel make the noises "Squee..." "Crrr..." and "Hummm..."

Cupid Bowsaw:  

The most perfectionist craftsman in all of Equestria

A very talented colt who makes furniture for the residents of Ponyville. His home and workshop is based inside a very large tree-trunk in the Everfree Forest. He has a very muscular body and is a very attractive colt, popular among the young fillies who catch a glance. 

Having only left school a few years ago, he has now started a career all by himself. He is self-taught and changed his surname to Bowsaw after an argument with his parents who live in Canterlot. 

Despite his masculinity, he used to get teased during his early years for his typically feminine color-scheme (especially the pink coat of fur) which he can not help because he was born with it. The bullying has been left behind him since he left Canterlot High School, studying Training For the Future Royal Guards, he dropped out when he only had a year of his studies left. He used to be told that he looked like a filly. His classmates would call him "Quinn" which is a female name or "Piggy" because he is pink like a pig.

 Name: Cupid Bowsaw

Gender: Male

Likes: Dying sections of his mane dark blue, carpentry, designing buildings and furniture, flirting with the ladies, being his own boss

The Element Of Wood-working

Went to town today and I found a tiny door. It made me look quite tall by comparison. I am a tiny 4"10 woman, an inch shorter than my mum.

I have created a pony character using General Zoi's pony generator:

Introducing Cupid Bowsaw: The Element Of Woodwork

I have created my own pony character by using the flash game in the link above. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a great inspiration for me. Cupid Bowsaw is a representation of my love for making furniture out of wood. I thought of the name while making my very own bow saw at Ashley Down College.

A Nice Day Out With One Of My Best Friends

Review- Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Absolute Platinum 00A

Review

Absolute Platinum 00A

I thought I would give going blonde a go. I truth I have lightened my hair many times BUT before it has only been for the purpose of putting a semi-permanent unnatural color on top. I have dyed my hair grey before which was very pale and very close to a natural blonde shade.

They Say: Those Born Blonde As Babies Make Gorgeous Bottle-Blonde Adults

Now I WAS NOT born with blonde hair. I was born with black hair that lightened up to a very dark brown as i grew up. On the other hand, my mother, father and younger brother were all blonde with blonde hair. Maybe...just maybe...it might look ok on me?

 Only One Way To Find Out...

The packaging includes (left-right); Live Color Conditioner, Lightening Creme, Developer Lotion, Application Tip, Blonde Booster Ultra Plus

Recommended for use on medium blonde hair, dark blonde to light brown, medium brown

Before Using Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Absolute Platinum on My Hair

Front of my head, hair is (mostly) directions violet, and you can see my very dark brown roots

Back of my very hairy girl head, the blue parts are SFX Sonic Green mixed with Directions Violet

 

After Using Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Absolute Platinum on My Hair

Right Side of Head

Left side of my head, I intentionally did not dye my undercut because I wanted to keep that part my natural color

 

The Verdict

Were the instructions easy to understand for the mixing?

Yes, very easy. Very clear 5/5

Was the application straight-forward?

 The thinness of the opening to the application tip made it very easy to get in there with the roots. During the waiting time, I barely felt any itchiness on the scalp at all after the first 10 minutes. 3/5

Did the included conditioner work very well?

 My hair was (as expected) quite damaged from the lightening. However, the conditioner smelt lovely and it softened my hair and made it feel...almost...in good condition. 4/5

Do I like the end result?

I love it! Despite its recommendation for using it on hair no darker than medium brown, it worked FANTASTIC on my dark brown roots! My hair is (mostly) a lovely platinum, if not a little on the creamy yellow side. There IS a yellowness there, but not very much. I'm very sure that I can tone it out. There is a bit of semi-permanent hair color lingering on my hair, but since most of it is Special Effects (the strongest semi-permanent dye out there), I will not blame it on Absolute Platinum. 4.5/5

Overall Rating

5+3+4+4.5 = 16.5

Divide that by 4 

4.125

To the nearest whole number, I would rate this 4/5

Would I use this again? Yes, I certainly would! 

 

The Lady of My Inspiration

I Guess Everyone Has Their Own Inspiration...Some Not Still With Us

Judith Lloyd (nee Lawrence), mother, friend and aunt

November 1945- October 2010

Today is Easter, not anything of today signifies much to my auntie Judith, but I do still remember her every day. 

Remembering Those Who Have Left Us Doesn't Always Have To Be Sad

I will admit that anything bad that has happened in my life so far doesn't hurt near as much as when Judy died. However, I often feel happy when I think of her because she was so amazing!!

Auntie Judy taught me that you can be the most adorable person in the world AND be kick-ass scary if anyone makes you mad. I have NEVER EVER seen anyone get away with passing the line with her. She was never the meek and mild type when angered, even if she appeared to be when she was in her usual happy mood.

She was always very cheerful and she made me and my brother laugh with all the stories of fairies that she used to come up with. She had a beautiful mind and an inspiring imagination.

Judy would spoil me rotten, make me feel like a princess, cook me lots of food, and always made sure that I had a pillow to rest my head on while sat on her sofa watching TV.

She was a bit like a mother. I am so glad to have had her in my life. 

I will always remember you Judith
