I am nine now, and feel very big about it too. I think that now I am tall enough, I would love to go on all the big rides at the theme parks and things, as I really love going on fast and scary ones, especially the Vampire Ride at Chessington. That makes me scream and laugh at the same time, and I can’t understand how anybody wouldn’t like it 😉 This year I would love to go on Oblivion and all the other super fast rides like Rita!
I believe in lots of things, like fairies, goblins, Santa – even wombles! Sometimes I write letters to the fairies, and they reply and give me information about them. They are really good friends of mine now, but they haven’t replied for ages.
I live with my mummy, my step-dad, my sister and my step-brother. I’m home-educated, as well as my sister, which is really fun. I have loads of friends and clubs, and that means we get to go (for example) ice-skating when everyone’s at school, etc. I love really old things like grandfather clocks, trinket boxes and detailed chairs and tables. I like getting dressed up in pretty dresses and old, delicate necklaces. It seems to me now that only old ladies like delicate, old things, and I find this very frustrating and can’t see why anybody else wouldn’t like them! I like going in really old houses, especially in Sandwich, with ‘Cobwebs’ and all those ones!
I like being sarcastic and funny, and making everybody (most of the time I can’t keep a straight face at my own joke, so including me) laugh. I have a lot of favourite pranks and tricks and I love hearty jokes that my step-dad tells everyone. The only thing about me saying jokes is that I always say the same one, and then my mum and pretty much everyone else at the table who know it clap their hands to their forehead and then I can’t say it in their laughing frustration.
The real best thing in the world (apart from my family, of course) is almost definitely English. Not the correct things to say like ‘an apple’ or ‘a apple’ – well, I do go bananas if someone says that wrong, but anyway – but the punctuation and grammar. I wrote this all myself, every click and scan, and if I wrote something wrong, I probably wouldn’t be very positive about it. Yet that’s my weakness: I am always negative about at least one thing or another. I have to say, it gets a bit irritating when I say, “oh, I’m so stupid”, and then have to correct myself and say, “I mean, I would like some help, please”.
