Okay, my site is now online again but it is having teething problems so please bear with me on this.
It can be found at http://www.bronsema.plus.com/RandomGoth/randgoth.html
I would ask that you bear with me while it grows and I overcome the teething problems.

The Seasonal Post of Merry Thankfulness!
WARNING - THIS IS A VERY LONG POST!
*whew* What a busy last month or so it has been with people in and outta hospital and up and down to Dundee, its been fairly exhausting and hectic.
The start of December saw Genevieve and my mom head up to Dundee so that Genevieve could take part in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to aid the healing of her spine. This at some rate seems to have been a useful excercise. The wound on her back is apparently experienceing 'over-granualisation' meaning its healing at a faster rate then expected! Which is awesome!
BIRTHDAYS
This month also saw Genevieve and myself turn 18 - how the years have passed! Geeves was at school for most of the day so a group of friends and myself went to the cinema to watch the new HP Sauce film, not one of the best of the series I must say...it was awfully fast paced and soo much had been missed out to squeeze it into the hour an a half, I'm hoping and praying that when it comes out on DVD there might be a 'full' version or directors cut version so that we can watch the whole thing rather then what they can squeeze into the time slot. *shakes fist at director* I think they would have been better making it into two films or something, or maybe having the lead up to the 4 tasks as a short before the film, then having an interval and then having the 4 tasks. Bah Humbug! It coulda been an awesome film but instead it was a mediocre although the bit where the two boys are hit by a cross "chemistry" teacher is hilarious, not that I'm condoning violence, but that "Chemistry" teacher is my favourite character and there wasn't nearly enough of him in this film.
Anyhooo....I'm rambling, after the film we all came back to my house where there was munchies such as pizza and dips and shall we just say 'beverages to embibe' :P it is after all all legal and above board in this country now - w00t!
Then we had chocolate cake in the shape of a hedgehog! And the best bit? was that it had white chocolate buttons for its spines, funky or what!
Once we had digested cake and food etc, we opened presents and I think I can safely say I had one of the best birthdays ever! I received from my parents a DAB digital radio as well as new snowboard bindings! I can't wait to test them out in February when we go skiing/snowboarding at half term.
Once that was cleared up we played Twister under the mistletoe including extra rule that a kiss was to be exchanged should you end up face to face underneath the mistletoe...lets just say that twister can lead to some very interesting photographs. (apologies for quality of pics, they were taken on my mobile phone)

Hehheeheh don't shoot me guys, I just think they are hysterically funny pictures.
What a day that was! I wanna thank my mom and dad for putting up with a bunch of hyperactive 17-18 year olds.
CHRISTMAS
Christmas was a fairly relaxed afair as I was ill so couldn't go to church with the rest of the family. I spent the rest of the day drugged up to the eyeballs and shivering profusily so yeah, Christmas wasn't a big affair just a small family gathering, my uncle and my grandma were down.
I must say though I think that one of my fave presents by far this year has got to be the cable that enables me to transfer photos from my phone to the PC. Its an amazing peice of kit! No more worrying that there isn't enough space on my phone to store pics :) just take the photo and transfer it to the PC. Sorted!
SO to celebrate I thought I'd share a couple of pics from my phone, warning they are fairly random photos.
MY PUSSYCAT - THOR
SNOW!
It snowed here the other day! Okay so its only about two cm worth and its all melting now but still we atleast had some snow! Some places in the UK had up to 8 inches of the stuff, shame we didn't get that much but I suppose I can't really grumble, after all we did get some in the end. Its raining now as the temperatures rise making the whole place look really rather depressing but hey ho, chin up. Check out the Christmas tree in Morpeth all covered in Snow and looking very festive.
Anyway I think that about rounds this post up, If you made it this far congratulations are in order, that was a bit of a long post to put it mildly lol. Heres to hopeing you had a good Christmas and we shall speak again in the new year! Look out 2006 here we come!
May God bless you and inspire you always!

Operation Christmas Child
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Well today saw the end of an era for me, it was sad to see the boxes packed into the van to be taken to the depot knowing that after 5 years thats the last time I'll be doing that with the school. I must admit there was a tear in my eye as the 755 boxes were packed into the van and the check was handed over...its scary to think that this time next year I don't actually know what I'll be doing...I'm wanting to take a gap year but I don't know what to do yet. hmmm anyhoo so yeah, the herald came and did a photo shoot with us :D we built a wall of shoe boxes across the hallway and stood behind it :D holding a box each. The photographer then took loadsa pics! It was amazing, can't wait for the next issue of the herald.
So yeah I wish King Edwards the best of luck for next year in doing Christmas child, and I hope they continue to break records with the appeal.
IN OTHER NEWS...
Only 15 days till my 18th birthday - yayness!
Only 17 days till Christmas - double yayness!
Only 9 days till a beautiful candlelit dinner avec my boyfriend - triple yayness!
Only 9 days until Genevieve comes home too - quadruple yayness!

Stupid Filters!
SCHOOL FILTERS SUCK!
I'm really not impressed with the school filters, for some reason they have taken a dislike to blogspot and banned it meaning I can't view peoples blogs at lunchtimes! It also means I have difficulty updating mine as bits of the site are banned and other bits aren't.
SO what does this mean?
Basically until I work out how to publish from my email using the thing I set up, my updates of this here blogspot will be very infrequent. *sigh*

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Total boxes as I left today: 734 packed plus about 20 empty (there is tonnes of stuff to go in them) We should just about beat last years total!
The van arrives tomorrow morning and I'm going to help load the van :D
Oh and I discovered today that the picture I didnt think they had used in the Herald last year when they ran an article on the schools involvement with OCC, is on the website!

Heheh hyperness - too much Cherry Coke lol
Ahem...on with the rest of the post...
I had a sleeppver at the weekend with Ruth and Sophie, two of my best mates from school, and we watched a couple of movies and chatted untill the wee hours. What a night!
We watched Tim Burton's 'Edward Scissorhands' which is an absolutly amazing film! I definitly recommend it...Edward is a wonderful character who's outcast, misunderstood by suburbia because of how he looks and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Loved it! I'm turning into a regular Tim Burton Anorak! He is an amazing director! Plus five of his films have Johnny Depp in the castlist.
We also watched 'Bridget Jone's Diary: The edge of reason' and we couldn't have picked a better film for a girly sleep over I don't think...its a beautiful film filled with romantic comedy hysterically funny but so sweet at the same time. Loved it.
BOX TOTAL FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: 659 at last count that are filled, we might just beat last years count of 750.
God bless you and inspire you always!

God is indeed good.
Those of you who follow my blog will know that I've been stuggling with my faith and its felt like I've been banging my head off a wall...well after watching a tv programme on the link of heavy metal to satanic death cults and satanic rituals...part of me...somewhere inside me I had a desire to listen to some Christian rock resulting in my tuning into http://www.christianrock.net whereupon I found Hawk Nelson playing with the song 'Things we go through' and the lyrics really struck me hard and made me realise that regardless of what I go thru I have a great redeemer who is looking out for me and that He won't throw anything my way that I can't cope with.
Hawk Nelson - Things we got through
Billy made a promise but didn't end though
Carrie had a dream but she threw it out the window
Kevin met a nice girl who broke his heart and
his friends never told him but they knew it from the start and.
These are the things we go through/ Let's take control and be ourselves Let's not waste time wondering about
How were gonna make it out
Wake up everyone around you
Lets rock until the clock strikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Heres another song from the youth that surround you
Kyles parents split up, he thinks its his fault
Little does he know that the time they're in was difficult
Andrea she left home, said she had enough
All she really wanted was somebody else there to love
She's all alone again, its the same old argument
And she needs a helping hand to help her find the truth
These are the things we go through
Let's take control and be ourselves
Let's not waste time wondering about
How were gonna make it out
Wake up everyone around you
Lets rock until the clock strikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Heres another song from the youth that surround you
Save me I’m all alone as I'm coming to the surface
Tell me I've got to know whats my meaning and my purpose
Show me I'm far from home lost with no sense of direction
Take me to Your throne
Billy made a promise but didn't end though
Carrie had a dream but she threw it out the window

The lyrics of this song resonated inside me and I realised how lucky I am that Jesus died on the cross to save me, I thought about the pain he went thru on my behalf and the amount of love that must have taken...and realise that I am looking at this from the wrong direction. God love s me more then anything, he sent his only son to die for me. He isn't out to harm me, He loves me too much and it hurts him to see me suffer he hasn't left me alone to cope with this. He is there every weary step of the way.
Glory be unto him, saviour, redeemer, abba, father.
God bless you and inspire you always!

Severe Weather Warnings issued for the UK
w00t! Finally winter has arrived! The met office are forcasting some spectacular weather over the next few days *does the snow dance*
This is from the Met office website.
Current warnings:
EARLY WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER
EARLY WARNING of Heavy Snow and Blizzards Issued by the Met Office at 10:15 on Tuesday, 22 November OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT: The probability of disruption due to severe weather conditions in part of the United Kingdom within the next 102 hours is 80 percent. This warning is an update to that issued at 10:45 on Monday 21 November 2005.
The Met Office is forecasting a period of cold and very strong northerly winds to extend across the UK from Thursday to Saturday, with all areas at risk of seeing some snow. Current timings suggests the onset of the very cold weather will be around 0600 Thursday in Shetland, 1800 Thursday for Northern Ireland across to northern England, and 2359 Thursday for southern parts.
Areas at highest risk for snow are northern and eastern Scotland, Northern Ireland and northeast England. In these areas winds will also reach severe gale force. Showers will fall as snow widely over high ground where local blizzard conditions are expected giving significant accumulations of snow with drifting. Snow will also occur at low levels including more populated areas at times, especially over the northern half of the UK, where localised accumulations of a few cm of snow are likely. Later on Friday and into Saturday, there is a risk of snow affecting southern and central areas of England. Confidence for this particular aspect is low to moderate at present and further updates will be provided.
This warning will be updated by 1030 on Wednesday 23 November 2005.
*Does the yay snow dance*
I'm def keeping my fingers crossed here - I'm soooo excited - it better snow now lol.

It never rains but it pours...
*sigh* It never rains but it pours in my life, things were starting to look up aswell!
Genevieve had her fusion end of August time and the operation was a success...she looks so straight now its incredible! However the road to recovery is ever a rocky one and Geeves is currently back in hospital with something called a caphotic junction(sp?) which bascially means the top of her spine which isn't fused (this is very little of it lol) is bending away from the rods and recently this became infected and eventually broke the skin. They are operating tomorrow to clean the wound and trim the rods abit to try and prevent this happening again. Mr Gibson the consultant reckons though that the bacteria infecting the wound are actually in the rods themselves meaning that this infection is likely to flare up on a regular basis! This apparently could mean regular hospital stays over the next two years.
I'm struggling with my faith over this, clinging to the knowledge in Jeremiah 29:11
" For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Mocha alla RandomGoth
Mocha alla RandomGoth
Need that mocha but aren't anywhere near a Starbucks, Tim Hortons or Costa Coffee? Well this entry should aid you in your quest for that perfect cup of home brewed coffee.
Okay to make Mocha alla RandomGoth you will need:
- Instant coffee granules - too taste (this depends on how strong you like your coffee, I reccommend 1 tablespoon of coffee. What type of coffee? Dosen't matter - this was made orginally with Nescafe Gold Blend as it was all my rents had in the house - please if you can use FAIR TRADE)
- One table spoon of unsweetend cocoa powder - (again doesn't matter what variety - I used Rowntrees as thats what was in the cupboard)
- One tablespoon plus two teaspoons of white sugar
- Two teaspoons of Nesquick instant chocolate or a varient thereof - (Should you have no instant chocolate then substitute for half an additional tablespoon of cocoa and one and a half teaspoons of additional white sugar)
- Two tablespoons of milk -( doesn't matter what type - I prefer semi-skimmed)
To enjoy simply mix the above ingriedents together with hot boiling water in a mug and enjoy.
Some tips:
- Don't leave this to get cold, its foul when cold!
- Don't eat/drink the gunk that you get at the very bottom, it will make you shudder all over and go ewwww. Don't say you were not warned!
(C) RandomGoth Inc. 2005. Please don't steal my recipe without crediting me in some way!
I hope you get much bliss from drinking this coffee. As a favour for imparting this please abide by my copyright rule, I've been working on this for months! Grrr If you break it I will set my fierce cat Thor on you...don't invoke the wrath of Thor, you will regret it!
God bless you and inspire you always.

The Reluctant Sudokuist
Yep okay, I guess I'm a little hypocritical - I said a couple of weeks back to some of my friends that I couldn't stand sodokus...however I feel I must eat my hat here.
I have discoverd the joy of the sudoku puzzle having been shown how to do them by my mom. She sat down and went how to do them with me and now I am officialy addicted!
Sites reccommended by various people...
I prefer the first site personally.
My record currently stands at 12 minutes 44 seconds on Easy.
Thats all for the moment folks

Grounded!
Grounded!
I thought I was too old for the rents to ground me, but seemingly I'm not. I'm currently grounded for the foresseable future or as they put it 'until I pull my finger out and start doing some work'. This means that I am banned from the computer unless working - although the school PC's allow this thru the filters so I shall keep people up to date with my life and stuff.
CHRISTIAN UNION LEADERSHIP THINGY
I'm heading out to Jesmond tonight for a Christian Union leadership evening thing. It's being run by Geoff Brown of the Scripture Union so it should be good. I'm quite excited about it. I'll report back about it probably on Monday.
TATTOO
I've been considering getting a tattoo for a long time now, I plan to get a styelised cross coming out of bleeding flesh over the scars I have on my ankle from self-harm. This is to symbolise the way in which my faith in Jesus Christ has put me on the road to recovery and that with His help I can beat it completly.
I am however aware that my parents are against the idea, so as the bible says to honour your mother and father, I shall be waiting untill I have left home. While I am under their roof I shall abide by their rules even if this means I have to wait to get this tattoo.
One of the arguments I've been given against getting a tattoo is that my body is a temple and as such I should not graffiti the walls...I shall respond to this by saying, yes my body is a temple and as such I wish to hang beautiful art dedicated to my Lord Jesus on its walls in hounour of what He has done for me.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Alright it's official, language aquisition is one of the dullest things on the entire syllabus as far as I'm concerned! It makes little sense and I suspect that if I am forced to watch any more videos of cute, adorable little children making cute, adorable mistakes I shall puke! I have three lessons a week on Lang Aquisition and its becoming over kill! They may well have been cute and adorable to begin with but now they are just annoying! They are a pain to transcribe and mostly just babble innanely! Grrrrrrrrr!
REMEBERANCE DAY
Wow! Our school actually remembered to observe it today! *applauds* Actually interestingly us sixth formers in the Library were already observing it when the tannoy asked us to, the clock in the library is fast apparently, but the fact is that we observed it unprompted. Everyone stood up and stayed scilent, the only noise was the storm raging outside. Typical Stormy Autumn day, gusts of up to 70mph! and lashing rain is forcast for later.

MY WEBSITE
My website is currently undergoing a major rehaul and revamp, which I hope to have finished by the end of this year. I am streamlining it and creating a more mature design to it as well as removing those awful frames and clashing colours! I've learnt alot about site desgin over the last year or two and I'm trying to apply them to my site.
Current status: 4 and a half sections to finish - they are 'About me', 'photos', 'Young Carer', 'Links' and 'Enjoy Meat?'

Current status: 4 and a half sections to finish - they are 'About me', 'photos', 'Young Carer', 'Links' and 'Enjoy Meat?'
- Need to get my guest book up an running again
- Young Carers section may take awhile and consequently might launch the rest of the site while I work on this section.
- Considering a section on 'Self-harm' but this is very much on the drawing board.
- A news section is a possibility although I may just link to this blog spot as I can edit it anywhere.
- When I turn 18 at Christmas, I'm going to sign up for Googles 'Adsense' in the hope that my site might actually generate enough to buy a proper domain name. *fingers crossed*
- Need to re-do Pete's memorial page
MY LYRICS OF THE DAY - Disciple - Rise Up
I will not stand silently by as you mock and curse my GodStand against Him; you will be brought down Here I come; I’m bout to rise up All of my people, we’re ‘bout to rise up Here we come now, we’re ‘bout to rise up. All of my people, we’re bout rise up. You bark accusations that paralyze my brothers in fear.Only a small spark starts an unquenchable fire.

RandomGoth
Yep I've joined the bandwagon...
Yep I've joined the bandwagon...
Okay, okay! I've finally decided that this is the best way to keep people up to date with what is going on in the life and trials of RandomGoth. I've had a number of blog spots before but never really used them properly, tended to post quizilla results etc etc or just ignored them. However I've matured slightly and feel that I should fingers crossed be able to keep this one lol.

SCHOOL
I am so heartly sick of school, I can't wait to get out and start making a name for myself. I'm currently working thru my UCAS application with the aim of doing 'English Language and Linguistics'. I've been visiting University open days around the country, top of my list is currently Swansea Uni as I was not overly enamoured with Portsomouth Uni.
School is cracking the whip again, coursework deadlines and exams loom hard on the horizon and this world weary traveller is dragging her feet. As a result work on my website is expected to slow for a while as I desperatly try to meet these inhuman deadlines!
LIFE
So what else is happening in the life of RandomGoth? Well plenty, probably too much! I recently got into a relationship with the very lovely Thomas Moon after nearly two years of flirting with each other and I couldn't be happier with him. If I get his permisson I might post a piccy of the two of us together, I might even just post it *evil grin*
Bass guitar is going slowly, school work and website have been getting in the way, hopefully with a couple of deadlines coming up I'll have a little bit more time to practice. I shall keep you guys updated on this.
Baptism is also on the books, I'm hoping its gonna happen soon, provisional date I think of 23rd November...but its very provisional. I'm excited about taking this step in my faith, I feel I have come to the point where I want to make that public display of my faith to show others what Jesus means to me. Prayers for this would be most welcomed.
Gap Year planning is going very slowly, I'm currently looking at two organisations doing christian gap years. They are http://www.thefoundry.org.uk/xl/home.htm and http://www.xlp.org.uk/index.htm . I did apply to Project Trust but sadly was not selected by them, however a number of the friends I made on selection have been and I wish them the very best of luck and pray that God will bless them on their amazing journeys. I pray that they might be safe and sound in the knowledge that God is watching over them as they fundraise and as they prepare to leave next September. I had great fun on selection with you guys so God bless and may you come back enriched by the experience.
I'm gonna leave you with some lyrics that I feel depict what I feel at the moment. (The silly thing messed the formatting up!)
SUM 41 - In Too Deep
The faster we're falling, We're stopping and stalling. We're running in circles again, Just as things we're looking up, You said it wasn't good enough. But still we're trying one more time.
Maybe we're just trying to hard. When really it's closer than it is too far
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Instead of going under.
Seems like each time I'm with you I loose my mind,Because I'm bending over backwards to relate. It's one thing to complain, But when you're driving me insane, Well then I think it's time that we took a break.
Maybe we're just trying to hard. When really it's closer than it is too far.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under.Instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
I can't sit back and wonder why.It took so long for this to die.And I hate it when you fake it.You can't hide it you might as well embrace it. So believe me it's not easy. It seems that something's telling me,
I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under. Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep, All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under. instead of going under. instead of going under again. instead of going under. instead of going under again. instead of going under again.
------------------------------------
Why does everything always happen at the same time? Then Snowball and create monster problems for me, usually ending up in a mammoth argument between me and my mom!
If there was ever a time I felt like running, it would be now but I'm gonna stay and face the music I guess. My life is so messed up! Gah I'm whining again! Anyhoo.
Okay, thats all for now folks, check back soon for more updates.
May God bless you and inspire you always!
Yours in randomness!
