No Kid Hungry.

So yesterday I heard of a thing called No Kid Hungry.

No Kid Hungry is an organisation in America that is working towards stopping child hunger.

Currently, 16 million kids in America are at risk of hunger. Every child should be able to eat a meal three times a day, seven days a week. But that's not that case. 

Even though I am not from America, I still think that this is a great cause to get behind. Children all over the world should be able to live their lives on a full stomach.

From the 6th of September to the 9th, wear orange in support of No Kid Hungry. You could wear an orange ribbon in your hair, orange socks, or even head over here and buy an orange shirt and some fabulous orange sunglasses.

There are many young celebrities helping to promote and get behind No Kid Hungry, one of them being Amandla Stenberg. That's how I found out about this whole thing, Amandla posted something on twitter.

And other people won't know about it either, unless you help out and spread the word. Visit http://nokidhungry2.org/ and @nokidhungry on twitter and let everybody know.

This is such a great cause to get behind. I hope you all do take a look.

Brilliant Brownies.

Alright, I suck at cooking. I can't even get toast perfect, but one thing that I am alright at baking is these wonderful caramel and chocolate brownies! They are seriously delicious, so I thought I'd share the recipe with you all now!!

Just before I start, because I am from Australia, all of my measurements are in grams and such, but if you use different sorts of meausurements, you can go here to convert the weights!!

Here's what you'll need..
-375 grams of Dark Chocolate bits.
-200 grams of chopped butter.
-3/4 cup of caster sugar (188 grams).
-3 eggs.
-2 cups of plain flour (500 grams).
-1/2 cup of white chocolate bits (125 grams). You could also use milk or dark chocolate, your choice.
-380 gram can of Caramel Top 'n' Fill.

And here's what you need to do..
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Again, I am from Australia, so if you measure temperature in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, this would be 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Grease a tray, approximately 4.5 centimetres deep (go here to convert lengths), and 21 centimetres by 31 centimetres, with baking paper.
3. Put the dark melts and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave them, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes (or until melted). Make sure you stir them every minute. I prefer to use a stove to do this step, but you can do whatever tickles you fancy.
4. Stir caster sugar into the melted butter and chocolate.
5. Stand for 5 minutes.
6. Add eggs, 1 at a time. Make sure you stir after you add each one.
7. Stir in the flour.
8. Fold through the white chocolate bits (or whatever type you decided to use) and the Caramel Top 'n' Fill.
9. Put the mixture into the tray you prepared earlier, and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The way you will know if they are cooked, is if you put a skewer into the centre and it comes out with crumbs hanging on to it.

And you're done! Now all you've got to do is let it cool and then cut them up! You can either cut them into neat little squares, or what I like to do is to use lots of fun shaped cookie cutters! A bonus with the cookie cutters is that there a lot of little leftover bits that are great to have a nibble on, haha.

Enjoy!! I hope you give these super yummy brownies a go! If you do, tweet me a photo of your creations at @UrbanNerd_ or tell me how you went in the comment box below!!

Back To The Future..

Ten years ago people thought that  we would have hovering cars and floating dinner tables. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Yeah, now we have machines where you can just tap the screen and it plays music, and you can talk to people on the other side of the world with just the touch of a button, but not so many things have changed since then.

I can't actually imagine our lives being any more evolved, like, what's the next step up from an iPhone?!

Realistically thinking, I doubt we are going to have phone chips implanted into our brains and flying elevators.

But wouldn't it be cool if we did? One thing I have always wanted is a teleporting machine! It would be absolutely epic. 

I'm actually really curious of what the future will be like, what do you think? Do you think we will have flying cars and all things wonderful? Leave me a comment below or tweet me at @UrbanNerd_ and tell me what your ideal future is!!

Appreciation.

Sometime today, whether you be at school, or if you're going out with friends, or even if you won't see your friends today, just find a way to talk to them. You should tell them that you areso lucky to have them, that you really love them and that you are so lucky that they are always there for you.


Because really, what's more important than your friends and family?


Sometimes your friends don't think that you appreciate them as much as you do, so it's really important to let them know.
Try to imagine a life without them, your friends and family, I sure can't.

Question Time!

So, I thought for this post I'd do a bit of a Q&A! I have had a few questions asked by my lovely followers on twitter, plus I've made up some myself that I thought you might want to know!

Here we go..

-How old are you? I am 14 years old!
-When is your birthday? My birthday is on June the 5th, so it has already been this year.
-Where are you from? I'm from Australia, and live in the state Victoria!!
-Do you have any pets? Yeah, I have two cats, a dog, two hens and a fish!
-Why did you start this blog? Good question. I was talking with a friend that was thinking about starting up a blog, and I thought that it could be fun to share my ideas, opinions, and just all of my stories too!
-Do you have any brothers or sisters? I have one older brother.
-Who is your role model? Amandla Stenberg is definitely my role model. You can find a bit more about her here onecrazylittlethingcalledlife.blogspot.com.au/amandla-stenberg!

So they're just a few of the questions I have been asked lately, if you have any more, I would love if you tweeted them to me (@UrbanNerd_) or leave a comment below!!
Also, I'd love to get to know some of my loyal readers, so how about you answer some of these questions in the comment box below?

A Compliment A Day..

You know those days when you're just feeling a bit down, and nothing seems to be completely going your way?
I'm sure we all have them.

Well, I have a little mission for you.
Everyday, I want you to give someone a compliment. It could be as simple as 'your hair looks nice today', or, 'I like the way you've done your make-up'. It can really be anything. Just try to give a different person a different compliment each day.

 It could make them feel so much better, and you know what? It will make you feel better too.

What A Lovely Surpirse! PART 2 - The Hunger Games.

When my Dad picked me up yesterday, I knew we were going to the post office, but I saw that he had two slips, not just one..

He told me that something had arrived at home for me too! Geez, I never get any mail, not even from the bank, but yesterday I got three things in one day! And they pretty good things, I must say.

So when Dad said that there was something at home for me and another thing at the post office, I knew what it was. Not too long ago, I won a competition on another blog (christinafarley.blogspot.com if you want to check it out), but I didn't know when it was going to arrive, so this was another great surprise.

Here is what I got..

A Hunger Games Lanyard! Perfect to put some keys on and show off to the world. Hehe.

The Hunger Games Official Movie Companion. This book is so good. It's like The Hunger Games DVD special features in book version, which I absolutely LOVE.
It delves deeper into the world in Panem, and has 159 pages of wonderful photos and information about the movie and where it all began.
I haven't yet finished reading through it, but I think it's just as hard to put down as The Hunger Games itself.

 And now for the pot of gold, drum roll please!..

Katniss' character poster! This would probably be the most exciting bit in my opinion. I absolutely love all of the character posters and I think they're all so gorgeous, especially Katniss' and Rue's.

I was super duper surprised at the size of this thing! It's actually really big, and it's double sided! I seriously love it and I'm so thankful.

I've got it sitting on our full sized table tennis table, and also, in the picture below, I've sat my Hunger Games book next to it to show you how big it really is!!

Thanks Christina for all of these amazing prizes, and make sure all of you check out her blog! christinafarley.blogspot.com.au.

What A Lovely Surprise! PART 1 - Sportsgirl Fan Of The Month!

So, the other day, we got a slip in the mailbox saying that I had something at the post office that I needed to pick up! This was quite exciting in itself, I never get any mail!

So yesterday, after school, Dad and I headed down there and I got such a lovely surprise when I saw that it was a little parcel from Sportsgirl!! I knew that something from them would be coming soon, because I was fortunate enough to win Sportsgirl Fan Of The Month, but I also knew that something else was coming and I thought it was going to be that. You see, I only found out that I won their Fan Of The Month a few days ago, so I'd like to thanks Sportsgirl very much for the amazingly quick delivery!!

When I got home I ran excitedly into my room and started to excitedly open and unpack my little gift. Inside of the postage packaging was this super cute little bag that contained all of the goodies.

So I got a few little bits and pieces. There's a cute little Sportsgirl heart USB, which will be really handy for school next year. The was also a nail file, note pad, bag tag, iPhone cover, and some sunglasses. These sunnies are super cool and trendy. The frame is actually clear and the lenses are tinted blue, I really love them.

Now for the good stuff! Forgive me, I don't have the best camera, so the photo's aren't of the greatest quality, but if you want a better look at some of these items, check out Sportsgirl's website at www.sportsgirl.com.au

In my little pack there were two different types of eyeliner. Now, I don't really wear much make up at all, but I tried some of this stuff out last night, and I really like it.

So, the bottom eyeliner, To The Point, is a liquid eyeliner and it's probably my favourite. It has quite a thin tip so it makes application really easy. You can buy this from Sportsgirl for $9.95.

The top one is Draw The Line eyeliner. This one has a thicker tip and I just discovered that at the end it has a 'smudger' and a sharpener. I'll have to try and figure out how to use them, haha. The Draw The Line eyeliner is water resistant and sells also for $9.95.

Yeah, the photo below is pretty blurry, but it just shows you the different thicknesses of the two eyeliners.

The next thing is this yummy smelling body exfoliating scrub.

I actually bought this for my bestfriend for Christmas last year because I really liked it, so it was nice to get this in my pack. It's obviously gritty, but not so much that it hurts when you use it. It smells really good, a bit like musk or something, you can buy Scrub Up exfoliating scrub for $9.95.

Then there's this gorgeous Pout About It lipstick. I received the colour Fruit Tingle. It applies really easy and it's such a nice colour. It's a bit more pinky than in this picture but it is still a coral colour. I just read on the Sportsgirl website that this 'moisturises and protects' so that's a bit of a bonus. This one also retails for $9.95.

Next is this Give Some Lip lip gloss in Summer Holiday. It's a bit of a watermelon sort of colour and it smells like vanilla, yum. I was just testing a few of my things out and discovered that this gloss actually looks really nice on top of the Fruit Tingle lipstick. This sells for $8.95.

So that's what my wonderful Fan Of The Month goodie bag contained, thanks so much Sportsgirl!!

Take Some Time To Smell The Roses

I know I have had a lot of adults tell me to 'take some time to smell the roses', and I have always just replied with a sarcastic 'yeah sure'. 

But today I discovered that this was completely true.

I was at my Grandpa's house, and I was sitting on the couch near the fireplace. The flames were flickering inside of the glass door and there I was, just staring. I think I was just in that sort of trance where you are deep in your thoughts, and when you suddenly come out you realise that you look kind of dead, not moving a single muscle, not blinking. So when I finally did arise from this hypnosis, I instantly saw the fire, and it was captivating. The way the flames were moving, how they were vanishing just as quickly as they were appearing, it was really fascinating. I was intrigued.

Then, when we were driving home, there was the most beautiful rainbow that I have ever, ever seen. It was so bright and vibrant, and it instantly brought a smile to my face. The colours in it were so magnificent, the thirty or so picture I took of it did not at all do it justice. For the whole trip home I didn't once take my eyes off of it.

When we finally did get home, I realised that all of these natural wonders were just amazing. I don't know why it took me this long to see that, sometimes, you really do need to take some time out to smell the roses.

Try 27 Dresses On For Size..

Today I thought I would do a little review of my favourite move. Enjoy!

This review will discuss the wonderful film, 27 Dresses, directed by Anne Fletcher. This movie stars Katherine Heigle, as the main character, Jane Nichols, Malin Akerman as Tess Nichols, Edward Burns as George, and the high-spirited James Marsden as Kevin Doyle.

This film takes a funny look at a woman that is always a bridesmaid, and never the bride. There are a lot of twists and turns along the way that will keep you hooked until the very end.

Jane is a woman who loves weddings. She has been a bridesmaid twenty seven times, and she struggles to say no. At her latest wedding attendance, she meets Kevin Doyle, who is determined to meet her again.

When Jane’s sister, Tess, comes home from overseas, she goes to a work party with Jane and meets her dreamy boss, George. They instantly feel a connection, but the thing is, Jane is secretly in love with George.

With a shock proposal, near fatal car crash and a string of lies, will Jane make it down the aisle with her dream guy, or will she always just be a bridesmaid?

Jane has worked for George for many years, and in that time, she has fallen madly in love with him. She has never worked up the courage to tell him how she feels. Jane’s feelings are intensified and even more complicated when Tess comes home and falls for George, too.

Kevin Doyle is a writer for the local paper and he writes a weekly column about weddings. This, of course, is Jane’s favourite part of the paper. Jane and Kevin have a chance meeting at a wedding Jane is being a part of, and Jane instantly dislikes him. With Kevin’s determination to meet Jane again, could this develop in to something more, or will Kevin stay just as the person who writes the columns?

Tess Nichols is one character that I loved to hate in this movie. She was self-centred, and she didn’t care what lies she told, or who she hurt, as long as she got what she wanted. One of the worst things she did in the movie was to her mother’s wedding dress. Jane always wanted to have a wedding just like her mother’s and father’s, especially now that her mother had passed away. But when Tess is given her mother’s wedding dress, she takes it to a bridal shop to get it cut up, basically, and bits and pieces of it got put into a new dress. I thought this was an outrage, as it was such a sentimental piece to not only Jane, but her whole family.

The main idea that this movie is trying to convey is that you should be honest with the people that you care about, instead of trying to be someone that you’re not. It also points out that you should always have some time for yourself, if you can make yourself happy, you can make other people happy too.

This film is a ‘RomCom’. It takes a funny and quirky look at someone whose romantic life doesn’t always work out for her.

One of the highlights of the films was when Jane tried on all twenty seven of her bridesmaid dresses. The costumes were really well made, and they varied a lot in style. She had a cowgirl themed dress, a Hollywood themed, an underwater outfit, and many more. It was really funny and enjoyable seeing all the weird types of weddings people had.

Overall, I would rate this movie three and a half out of five stars, and I would definitely recommend it for someone who wants a bit of a giggle.

Happy Birthday Jackie Emerson

Today, Tuesday the 21st of August, is Jacqueline Emerson's birthday.

Jackie is an actress who most recently starred in The Hunger Games as Foxface, and she's also a wonderful singer. She really does have the most amazing voice.

Today Jackie turns 18, which I find pretty hard to believe, as she seems so mature and she is so so gorgeous. I really admire her in so many ways. She still has so many years ahead of her yet she has achieved so much already. Seeing and hearing her work just makes me proud.

So I want to wish Jackie the most amazing 18th birthday, I hope she has a fabulous day and enjoys it as much as she deserves. 

If you want to send Jackie a birthday message of your own, you can tweet her at @jackie_emerson.

You really do inspire me Jackie.

What's In The Bag

My bag is always filled with things that really don't need to be in there, but I do have a few things that I take with me everywhere. I'm sure you all have a few necessities that you need all the time too, here are mine..

Of course, I would usually have more than this in my bag, but these are probably the only things that I actually need.

What girl (or boy for that matter) could go anywhere without their phone or iPod?! I know I couldn't, it's kind of sad really. My phone and iPod might as well be glued to my hip, they are definitely two things that I can not go without.

Something that would be absolute torture for me to go without is my darling chapstick. One time, I forgot to take it to school, and I nearly died. Seriously. I especially like the vanilla flavoured one, compared to the strawberry one, because it's clear, I guess you could say, so if you have a bit of a dry nose because of a cold or something you can put it on there without it being noticed. You can get these little lip balms from pretty much every supermarket, for just a few dollars.

Something that I discovered just recently that I take everywhere is this cute little perfume. It is a roll on fragrance, something that I haven't seen before. I really like the actual idea of this because I'm that hopeless with spray on perfumes, I always miss, so these are super handy for me. Hehe. I got this cute little thing from my beloved Sportsgirl, for $9.95. There is four pieces in the collection, and the one I got is called Over The Rainbow. I'm not really sure how to explain its scent, it's got a bit of a fruity tang, and I just love it.

My nails are always breaking, like always. So something I find really handy to have around is a nail file. You should always keep a nail file in your pocket or bag, I carry one around with me everywhere.

Aloe Vera tissues. These would have to be the best things since sliced bread, even though there have probably been million of things better than sliced bread, but that's not the point. You might think it is silly how much I idolise this tissues, but you can't judge until you try. You know when you've got a cold, and you just have to keep wiping and wiping and wiping your nose? And your nose gets all red and the tissue is all rough, you know the feeling. These aloe vera little pieces of wonderful are so so soft, and they stay that way. So I would definitely recommend that you buy some of these little beauties.

These are just some of the things that I always keep in my bag. What are the things that you take everywhere with you? Tweet me at @UrbanNerd_ or drop me a comment below. :)

Amandla Stenberg

Today was another day that I was a bit 'uninspired', or maybe I was just being a bit lazy. But I decided that I'm just going to tell you a bit about my role model. You should really read on, because she's truly amazing.

Amandla Stenberg.

For those of you who don't know of Amandla, she is a young actress, pretty close to my age in fact, and she is so good at what she does. She recently starred in The Hunger Games, and you might have also seen her in Colombiana.

I find Amandla to be truly inspiring, I look up to her in so many ways. 

She is so strong. When The Hunger Games was first released, a lot of idiots made racist comments about Amandla's portrayal of Rue. Even though she knew about these comments, they didn't phase her, and she was still extremely proud of what she'd done, and I was proud of her too.

She's only 13, yet she has already achieved so much. Gee, if I had done half of the things that she has done when I was 13, I would have been pretty darn proud.

Amandla is so mature and gorgeous. So, so gorgeous, and I have to admit, I'm jealous. She has the most beautiful eyes and smile, and her hair, oh her hair, it's amazing.

Amandla Stenberg is a huge role model and inspiration in my eyes, and I want to thank her for all that she has unknowingly done for me. 

Check out this amazing girl on twitter; @amandlastenberg.

Happy Birthday Jennifer Lawrence

Today, 22 years ago, a beautiful girl was born.

That girl's name is Jennifer, and she is now one of the most amazingly flawless women on the planet.

Some of you might not have heard of Jennifer Lawrence. She is an actress, and a very good one at that. She stars in many movies, but her most recent being my beloved The Hunger Games.

Jennifer turned 22 today, and even though she won't see this, I would like to wish her a very, very Happy Birthday. She is such an inspiration to me, I look up to her very much, and I want to thank her for being such an amazing role model to me, and to many girls (and probably boys too) alike.

What Jen has achieved is just outstanding, I'm so proud of this girl.

Happy Birthday Jen, I hope it's as beautiful as you.<3

Inspiration is Everywhere

I have been sitting on the computer on my blog page for quite a while now, I haven't had an absolute clue what to write, I was uninspired. I was just trying, trying, trying to think of something to get me inspired, but nothing came to me. But then I realised something.

I've got inspiration all around me. On my iPod, in my magazines, at my school, everywhere.
If you're a little stuck, whether it be with school work, A BLOG POST, or just life in general, just look around you. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that means a little more than you think.

The Cure For A Bad Habit

I'm sure you've all got some sort of bad habit, right?

Well when I was younger, not too much younger, but a year or two ago, I had a horrible habit of biting my nails. It was really bad, no matter how I tried to stop, I just couldn't.
I tried putting some foul tasting stuff on them, that didn't work. My mum told me to imagine that there was dirt and poo under them, that did nothing either. But I found one thing that really worked.

Cutepolish.

This wonderful girl is someone that is amazingly talented at painting her nails. She puts videos up on YouTube (her YouTube name is just cutepolish) of super easy tutorials that show you how to do different designs on your nails. When I first saw a cutepolish video, I was instantly inspired. And this is how I stopped biting my nails. I knew that I would never be able to paint really cool things on my nails if they were minuscule in size, so I told myself that I had to stop biting them to do this.

Right now, my nails are super long and healthy, and I've done about four different cutepolish designs. My first one I did was for Easter, and I painted a cute little bunny on my ring finger and then easter eggs on all other fingers. From that moment on I have been so determined to do all of my favourite designs of her's.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you have a bad habit that you can't get rid of, get inspired. That's what I did and it worked a treat. Find something that inspires you to stop, or something that you want to do that you can't if you continue with your habit.

Also I'd love it if you could check out cutepolish. Like I said, her YouTube name is just cutepolish, she also has a twitter, @cutepolish, and her facebook name is cutepolish as well.

Drop me a comment down below and tell me what your bad habit is and how you plan to stop it!!

Good luck.

Confidence Is Key

I was recently talking to a friend, and she said something to me that has been playing on my mind for a while.

She told me that her motto in life is 'What's the worst that can happen?'
I think that this is great. You've got to be confident in life, and a way to do that is by asking yourself that question.

Recently I started doing drama at school, I held back a bit because I worried what other people would think. But now I go all for it, because, really, what is the worst that can happen?! People might laugh, but that's all they can do.

Be confident in life, it really will get you far.

I Think You Should All Read This

Whilst tweeting around yesterday I found this picture. As soon as I saw it I thought it was absolutely perfect. That's why I think you should all take a look at it.

Every girl should love the way the look, and it's really upsetting to see girls that don't. Everybody is beautiful in their own rights, and they should believe that.

I hope this picture put a smile on your face, as it did to me.

Weird Is The New Black

Some people that know me think I'm shy, and some people think I'm the polar opposite. But truth is, I'm just weird. And I like it.

I don't understand why some people think that being weird is bad. Being weird is being different, unique, it's a way to be you. If everyone was normal, and no one was a little strange, the the whole darn world would have less charm than a dead slug ( that's for you tributes ;) ). It would be so boring, everyone doing the same thing, day in, day out.

That's why I like the way I am, and I try to be weird as much as possible. It's not like it's hard work either.

And yeah, sometimes when I'm cackling with my friend in maths class after she nearly fell off her chair because her legs were stuck under the table, or when I'm in the library making farting noises with my hands, some people do stare. But you know what? I don't care. Because I'm having fun. And if they can't accept that I'm this way, then it's not my problem.

So if you're reading this, which I hope you are, because it would be awkward if you just skipped all of the above content and came straight down and read this line, I want you to know that I like your weirdness. And that you should too.

Embrace your inner weirdo!!

What Smells Good.

I've got to be honest, if I didn't have deodorant, my life would be horrible. Now, there's bodysprays and fragrances that smell absolutely amazing, and then there's those ones that don't.. that's what I'm going to share my opinion on now.

I love Impulse deodorants. First of all, most of them smell great, and the bottles they are in are actually quite pretty.
   The one I'm using at the moment is called Impulse Tease. It is described to smell of zesty pineapple with exotic wood scents. It really does smell great.
    Another reason I love Impulse  is because they are spray deodorants, not roll-ons, but that's just a personal preference.
    One of my all time favourite Impulse sprays is called Impulse Very Pink. It has a mix of fruity and floraly scents. It smells so dainty and delicate, I guess you could say, just perfect for a girly type of girl.
   Like many deodorants, Impulse is available at many different supermarkets.

Something else I got the other day that I thought was extremely cool was a fragrance from the gorgeous store, Sportsgirl. They just recently released a new range of perfumes. It was the first time they had released something like this, and I LOVE them! There were four pieces in this Make Scents collection: Bright Young Thing, Over The Rainbow, Into The Wild and The Sweet Truth. As soon as I saw them I rushed over to the shelf to see exactly what they were. What I really do love about them is that they are really funky and unique. They are a roll-on perfume, which I have never seen before. All four smelt amazing, so I struggled to choose just one to buy. I ended up getting Over The Rainbow, though. It has a fruity sort of touch to it with another smell that I just can't put my finger on. They were all in really trendy bottles, and I will definitely be going back to buy another one, if not the whole collection. The Make Scents range is available from Sportsgirl for $9.95 each. (Australian Currency.)

I'm sure I am not the only person to be sprayed with this and that and who-knows-what in the girls change rooms when getting dressed for sport, and I must admit, some of them smell really good. I know one of my friends 'accidentallt' missed themselves and got me with their Lynx for girls deodorant, and I actually kind of liked it. There was another Hello Kitty spray the smelled strongly of musk that I loved. But my favourite second-hand deodorant I have tried is, yet again, a Hello Kitty spray. It smelled exaclty like Hubba Bubba's grape flavoured bubblegum. It smells almost good enough to eat.

What are your favourite deodorants and perfumes? Drop me a comment below or tweet me at @UrbanNerd_ .

Live long and smell nice!

NED Knows Best!

When I was in primary school, we had a man come and do a performance, titled NED.
This man told us a bit of a story, with Ned being the main character. He used yoyo's to make it more fun and exciting, but there was actually a really important point that he was trying to convey.

You see, NED was not only a name, it was also an acronym. (Exciting, I know.)

N - Never Give Up.
E- Encourage Others.
D - Do Your Best!

Now that I look back, and reminisce about this performance, I realise that these three letters really taught me a lot.
Never Give Up. I think you should all think about this. If you're doing something you love, and you feel like quitting, don't. You've just got to keep trying and trying, you have no idea how far you can get.
Encourage Others. This one is also extremely important, especially to me. When I first got the idea of this blog, I wasn't really sure if it would work out, but I had plenty of wonderful people encouraging me and telling me that my ideas were great, and that's what pushed me to actually do it.
Do Your Best. It's simple. If you never give up, and you're encouraging others, than you usually are doing your best. If you're reading this and thinking, 'Best? I don't have a best.' Well you're wrong. Everyone is good at something. Everyone.

I'd like to thank this wonderful boy named Ned, for teaching me to never give up, to encourage others, and to always do my best.

When I first thought of creating this blog, I wanted it to be anonymous. I now realise that that might not be completely possible. That doesn't matter though, if you know my identity, then you are very clever. If you don't, you can call me UrbanNerd.

That's the first thing I was going to talk about. I have made a few changes since my previous post, and there will probably be a lot more changes to come.

First off, in my last post, I called my self 'The Teenage Scribe.' I was under a bit of pressure here to think of a nickname, a pseudonym you could say, for myself. I have now given it a bit of thought, and as I stated earlier, I shall now be known as UrbanNerd.

Second, I do have a twitter account for this blog. Originally, its username was @Life__Blogger, but now, with my new found name, it is @UrbanNerd_ . If you have any feedback, suggestions, or you have your own life story that you think might be interesting to blog about, just tweet me at that address. Your thoughts are most welcome.
If you don't have twitter, you can always leave a comment below. :)

The World Says Hello.

Good morning, good afternoon, good night, good day to you people of the blogging world.

I'm new to here, I've never blogged or anything like that before. So to be completely honest, I don't have much of an idea what I am doing. But bear with me!

I thought, before anything, I better let you know a bit about me, and the whole point of this thing.

I'm here to post about life, my life to be precise. About the things I like, the things I don't, the issues I face, and all of the other things that hit me. I will try to be the most interesting person I can be.

I am a 14 year old girl. I live in Australia and love it here. Although, I would love to travel around the world and visit all different places.

I love social networking, but I'm not as much as a fanatic as some people. I have a facebook and a twitter, but not a Tumblr or Instagram or any of those type of things. I just made a twitter for this blog, the username is @Life__Blogger (Yes, that is two underscores, not one.).

I'm a hardcore tribute (A Hunger Games fan, for those of you that don't know), but I hopefully won't post too much about that.

I have a habit of writing in capitals, I will try to restrain myself, but forgive me if I yell at you. I don't mean it, really.

I like to sing, draw, play piano and read. My friends also mean the world to me, as do my family. I have the best laughs with them, I love making memories.

Talking about friends, I love making new ones. It doesn't matter who you are, I don't ignore people. So if you have any feedback, suggestions, or a conversation point, just tweet me, @Life__Blogger.

That's all for now. Wow, my first post. Over and out.
