First Youtube Tutorial!
1 min read
Youtube hooray! I have uploaded my very first video on my crafts - how to use polymer clay for n00bs 
Not much else to say in this journal, so please just drop by and have a look, even if it's just to watch my pet dog completely reject me at the end when I try to film him..

Happy Valentine's Day!
2 min read
Happy love day!! As someone who has spent plenty of Valentine's Days both with peeps and as a single pringle, I usually don't celebrate it at all (because commercialism blahblahblah!) but it is nice to just spend the day with someone you care about ^^
So if you're single, that's ok, celebrate platonic love instead, go on a date with a friend, or a bro, BRO-DATE
And just have a nice day so the couples don't annoy you!
Me? I'm spending it baking a crapton of cake pops. Omnomnom!
In other news, getting so excited for the next MCM Expo, it's on saturday >< Ahhhh! I have a much better camera than last year (like a Blackberry camera even counts as one..) so I'ma take some smexy pictures and put them on here if I get some good cosplays I originally wanted to go as Flonne from Disgaea, with a changeable angel/demon set, but screw that noise! I kept failing on the costume so I'm opting for Luka from the Vocaloid series instead. Her costume was much easier to make; I chose the Magnet outfit, because damn I love magnet. Apart from Miku's voice. Is that bad. I don't like the main one's voice D; I like Luka's more. Anyway! Ramble! My besties are being Lara Croft and Crona from Soul Eater, which is pretty darn cool. Can't wait to see all of the pretties~

Scary Grown-Up Times!
5 min read
I really need to update this more, especially when stuff actually happens!
So first thing's first - I dropped out of university. Not because I don't want a degree, or because it was hard - it was easy, and fun! But I realised pretty quickly that it wasn't the course I wanted to do, and wasn't the area I wanted to live in for three years. I'm an oldie in my head - I like staying in at the weekend and reading rather than clubbing and whatnot, so the area didn't suit me. I tried transferring to somewhere else but it was too late, so I'm taking a gap year before doing psychology next year somewhere else. The music course was great, but the aspects of music that I love (composing, performance, tech) I can just do in my own time, whereas psychology, a degree would open me up to lots of opportunities. So yeah! My advice to anyone considering uni things is BE SURE. And if you're not, DON'T GO right away. I rushed into it and ended up in the wrong place doing the wrong thing. And you really don't want to have to find out the hard way, starting over is tough!
In other news, this means I'm now looking for a job! So if you happen to need an office worker/ teaching assistant/ caterer, call me bro..
I'll be doing lots more artsy things as a result of the free time, I think. I'll be putting hours in at my local gallery and will probably become a volunteer there and shtuff!
OH! Speaking of the music stuff, my bandmate and I have begun a new duo called Tied To The Moon. We'll be performing chill acoustic stuff and I'm pretty excited; we always work pretty well together and I think we can make it into something great.
As a random thing I wanted to say (beware, I'm gonna go off on a big rambling tangent), last night I learnt a lot about growing up, and moving on from the past. Lately I've been finally maturing (I've been determined to stay a teenager forever, and seeing as I'm now 22, that's not happening) and the way my mind works seems to be shifting. I seem to have lost interest for silly things like gossip, which is good! And focusing more on planning the future - getting married, kids, career, etc. Which is completely unlike me. And last night, I had a dream (this will be weird but I'm going somewhere with it, honest, wow I'm using a lot of brackets) that a person I used to be very close with died. Now, I could use the word -hate- to describe how I felt about her, but that's a strong word. It's the easiest to use for now though, so basically, I hated this person, I hated hating her, because I try to be a generally kind person to anyone, even if they don't tend to deserve it. This person not just hurt me but pretty much all of my close friends, who I consider to be my loved ones, and this happened a VERY long time ago but it became apparent that she was still holding onto hatred about it, so I held onto it, too. Now, when you hate someone, you're meant to be glad to see the back of them! But last night, in the dream when she 'died', I felt awful, a sense of loss and regret, and in the dream I went to her family, found out she hadn't died after all, and we bonded again and forgot the past. I woke up and thought it had happened for a moment, quickly realised it hadn't but what I can't shake is that feeling of regret, and the hope I gained when we reconciled. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to track this girl down, forgive her and try to make amends. I'm not going to pretend she's a saint, because none of us are. But I have let go of anything bad I felt towards her; something I couldn't quite ever do before. I wish her happiness, and I deeply, truly hope that one day she can let go of her negativity too - I hope she can finally let go of whatever it is that makes her push people away so that they can help her to feel true happiness. I'm lucky enough to have learnt my lesson when I used to do that, and now I have the best people I could ever wish for at my side. I've grown up. I FORGIVE YOU. And sincerely, I will hold onto the good memories we had and cherish them forever - I thank you, for them. And I will tell my children about the wonderful, beautiful, talented girl I knew once, not the friend I lost.
Sorry for the rant; but I think when something's floating around in your head for a while you need to get it out for it to make sense. If anyone who reads this has ever lost anyone, or been hurt by anyone, try your hardest to forgive him! It feels way better than grudges, trust me.
And now that my grown up moment is over, I shall go back to playing my video game. I'm losing. >_o

Sponsored Bungee Jump
2 min read
Well, it's been a while since I wrote on here!
Uni life is...interesting. It's been doubley scary for me as I've never ever moved house, and I'm older than most students, and quite shy, I don't drink/party, the list goes on. But I am genuinely enjoying my time there. I love the independence and having my own bathroom! I just hate that the supermarket near me doesn't sell blueberry muffins, my favourite sweet treat.
It's only been a few weeks, but if you're considering uni but you're on the fence - honestly, just apply! You don't have to go, I decided last minute and it's a pretty amazing experience. And nowhere near as scary as it probably should be.
Anyway!
I am hitting 22 years old in exactly a month, and I wanted to do something memorable and also good for other people, so I decided to do a bungee jump for charity. If you'd like to get involved, please take a look at www.justgiving.com/Niki-Marie-… ! Any tiny little amount helps, and it's for cancer research, so it'd be truly appreciated. I know I'd feel better doing this than having some generic party or whatever. Thanks in advance!
You'd thing there would be more to say after a couple months away, but not really! Everything is chugging along just fine, and I hope you are all well ^^
Oh also it was my year anniversary with the boyfriend and he took me to the beach for the first time ever ok definitely over now, bye!
