"WHAT IS MY LIFE?"



Were you named after someone?
I'm named Chloe because my parents liked the name. Plus the name was popular during that year, so I guess that influenced it a little.

What colour hair have you got and how long is it?
I have light brown hair and it's nearly at waist length.

Eye colour?
Brown.

Do you wear glasses?
Nope, I have a wonky cheek bone anyway so they probably wouldn't look right. You can't really tell that my cheek bone is wonky, unless I point it out to you...

How tall are you?
I'm 5ft 7.

What is your nationality?
I'm English or British.

Where were you born?
I was born in Cheshire, England.

Where are you living now?
I'm living in a small town in Cheshire; it's a nice house surrounded by trees. But hopefully in September I'll be moving to Manchester.

What is your bestfriend called and how long have you known them?
My bestfriend is called Katy and I've known her since I was born. Our parents are bestfriends and were in the same class at school and then by chance we so happened to be put in the same class. We've been properly bestfriends since we were in Year 7.

What are you currently doing in your life?
I've currently just finished sixth form after studying for my A-level.  I took A2 levels in: History, Science and Psychology. I also did Biology at AS. Also I am currently working part-time, in a place that I can't name, but it's a place where it's impossible to avoid people. When I'm not working I'm either sleeping or partying with my friends. I'm also waiting on my A-Level results and any future developments.  At this moment in time I have quite a few different social circles, so it's possible for me to have a lot going on in an average week.

Favourite food?
French Fancies. I always eat the whole box. And then go around to my friends and steal his box.

Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings all the way. Bridget Jones, I love you.

Last film you watched?
The last film I watched was The Amazing Spider-Man.

When was the last time you cried?
The last time I properly cried was in Portugal after several arguments over rubbish. So, probably about 3 weeks ago.

Do you like your handwriting?
My handwriting is fat. I'm not a big fan of it. But my teacher says that an advantage of having handwriting like mine is that when I'm in an exam it looks like I've written more than I have!

What's your favourite meat?
I don't eat meat much. But when I do it has to be Chicken breast.

Do you have any kids?
No. I'm 18 and I've got my entire life and career ahead of me. But I will have some someday, specifically four.

If you were another person would you like to be friends with you?
I like to think so. I'm funny and loyal and I stand up for my beliefs.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?
I should use it a bit more.

Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes.

Would you take a bungee jump?
I'm planning to do one during my Gap Year or when I travel Europe next summer.

What is your favourite cereal?
I don't like cereal. Nor do I ever have time for breakfast.

Do you unite your shoes when you take them off?
Not normally. It usually takes me 10 minutes every morning to find my shoes.

Do you think you're strong?
I'm not strong physically or emotionally. However I would say I'm mentally strong.

What is your favourite ice cream?
I love bubble gum flavoured ice cream. The only places I've ever found it though is on Southport Pier or in Red Hot Buffet.

What is the first thing you notice about people?
Teeth/smile, I'm obsessed with teeth. Then I would say laugh/sense of humour, intelligence and then clothes. I also take notice to accents too. And hair. Basically eveything, but firstly teeth.

What's your favourite colour?
Purple

What's your least favourite thing about yourself?
I'm so disorganised. There was once a point in my life when I was the most organised person you could ever meet. What's wrong with me?

Who do you miss the most?
Keith, my old neighbour.

I've been walking round bare foot all day so far, but I'm going to have to put on my black work shoes in a bit.

The remainder of my Candy King from last night.

The sound of my neighbour cutting his grass.

Favourite smell?
A strawberry shower gel from the organics range at Boots. Nom.

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
My dad to ask him where he was and when he'd be home.  I feel like I'm the parent in our relationship.

Are you a Blackberry or Iphone kind-of-person?
I'm a Blackberry kinda girl!

Mountain hideaway or beach house?
I lovely beach house somewhere hot.

What is your favourite sport?
Me and sports don't mix. However for about 4 weeks in year 7 I was part of the hockey team. Ha.

What colour shirt did you wear today?
Right now it's just a white shirt, but I'll be wearing a black polo later.

What is your favourite shop?
My favourite shop to buy clothes from is either my beloved Jack Wills or Topshop.

Summer or winter?
I love winter clothes, so I like winter. But I also like the fact that in Summer I'm off college for 6 weeks. So this is a thoughy.

Favourite desert?
Warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream that you can get in my local pub.

Computer or television?
Computer.

What book are you reading now?
I've just started to read Before I Die this morning.

Rolling Stones or Beatles?
Neither to be honest. But to stick to my northern roots, the Beatles. But then again a guy I breifly dated was obsessed with them and he was complete tool. So I'd say The Rolling Stones.

I AM SPIDER-MAN

As a perk of my job I get to see the latest blockbuster films for free.  So last night after several hours of boredom and too many episodes of Geordie Shore, I decided to venture out. I like having lazy days off work, but the reality of doing nothing finally hit me and I needed to get out.  I treated my best friend to a night out at the cinema to watch The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D and tuck into a pick n' mix. 

One thing I did enjoy was the fact that the 3D was impressive as I genuinely felt like I was in the film, which was immense as Andrew Garfield is an actual hunk.  His role as geek-chic Peter Parker has now made me obsessed with Andrew Garfield and with finding my own geek-chic guy.  Emma Stone and her character Gwen Stacey are two lucky ladies.  Now I need Andrew Garfield in my life.

Another guy I need in my life is Jeremy Irvine.  Whilst waiting for the film to start a trailer came on regarding a new film released in September called Now Is Good.  The film is based on a novel called Before I Die by Jenny Downham, which I swiftly downloaded to my Kindle last night.  The film's based on a young girl named Tessa, who's suffering from terminal cancer.  Before she dies she wishes to complete a list of objectives, in a Bucket List sort of manner.  The top of her list is to fall in love... with Jeremy Irvine's incredibly beautiful and English-gentlemanly-styled character. So, from what I've read so far, it could be tear-jerking novel which I'll love.

Right now I'm continuing my laziness, althought it's 3.30PM I'm still lay in bed and I'm planning on staying like this until I have to go to work. I'm planning on coming straight home after work too, due to the fact that my dad is going Wetherspoons tonight and therefore I'm avoiding town at all costs.  I'd rather have a sober Saturday night in than go out and possibly bump into my dad.  Now that would be shameful, considering right now he's currently washing his car on the front and singing loudly to Smooth FM...

I've got a couple of ideas of what I'm going to put on this blog over the next couple of weeks; such as: continuing my daily blogs, my most embarressing stories of recent, what I've learnt about nightclubs, my first holiday experience without the parents, what I've learnt about myself this past year and my pet peeves.

I think it's also highly important that I do an about me post; because after all "What is my life?"

YOU COULDN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP

For my first blog post, I thought I'd introduce you to just one of many ridiculous stories that make up my 'dramatic' life. Literally at times my life genuinely feels like it's one dramatic event after another; but I suppose that's what teenage life is all about. Except I'm not sure that the other person involved in this event is aware of it yet and if he is, that's a bit strange.

Let's set the scene for the dramatic event of yesterday which originated unknowingly a year ago. A year ago exactly this week, which makes the event even more dramatic really, I went to a friends 18th Birthday party.  At the time I was 17-years-old and my friend was in the year above me at sixth form college. My friend only invited around 15 friends from college and the remainder of the people invited consisted of family and family friends. That was actually the first 18th Birthday party that I had been to with my friends, obviously I'd been family parties, but this was the first with my friends.  I was super excited and I bought a new dress and wore heels and genuinely believed I could have passed as a year older than what I actually was.  At this point in my life I still wasn't confident around guys and to be fair I never really talked to any other than my male friends.  I was the kind of girl who would openly admit to my friends if I thought a guy I saw was attractive. So, whilst at this party, I saw an attractive guy with what I presumed was his girlfriend.  I obviously thought to myself, "Lucky bitch, he's attractive."
Fast forward 8 months and I'm now an overly confident 18-year-old partying in a local nightclub.  When one night, I got chatting to a nice guy, who was attractive and as far as I was aware, I'd never seen in my life. We dated for a while and basically to cut a long story short, he wasn't a very nice guy and I ended all contact with him.

Fast forward another couple of months until last night and then I got quite a shock.  Whilst innocently looking through my Facebook newsfeed, my friend who's 18th I had been to had posted some pictures of her new pet lizards.  Out of curiosity I decided to keep scrolling through her mobile uploads because I hadn't really spoken to her much recently since she'd been in university.  So as I was flicking through her mobile uploads I finally came to some photo's of her 18th Birthday and out of further curiosity I decided to continue looking.  The whole incident was pretty much brought about by me being overly curious.  I found some pictures that I had never been tagged in and obviously I continued to flick through the photos when all of a sudden, I came across a picture which I never in a million years thought I'd have come across... the guy from the 18th Birthday was actually the guy I met in the nightclub and briefly dated.

What the actual hell? Out of all the guys in my town, why the hell did it have to be him that was at the party? He was the guy I actually thought was attractive? What the actual? I'm genuinely speechless regarding this situation.  Only would this happen to me, you couldn't make this stuff up.

At times like these I like to say, "What is my life?"
