Anti-bullying week!

Well, as this week is national anti-bullying week, I thought I would show my support by doing a couple of anti-bullying themed posts!


Today I have two poems for you...


Shame
There's a girl at school
we teased today;
made jokes, called her names.
My friends all laughed,
called it harmless fun,
said it was just a game.


Now I'm at home
feeling horrid inside,
long gone that thoughtless grin.
How will I face her
tomorrow at school?
I wish I hadn't joined in.
Tracey Blance




This one takes a more light-hearted approach...


Name-calling
They called me frog face with ears like a bat.
I said, "I'm not - I'm worse than that."


They called me rat-nose with a tongue like a shoe.
I said, "Is that the best you can do?"


They called me mouse-eyes, skunk-breath, dog-head.
I said, "I'm worse than all that you've said."


They said, "It's no fun calling you a name."
I called, "That's a pity - I'm enjoying this game."

Quote of the week!

Heyy loyal followers...


I have another of my famous quotes for ya. It's a comeback again - and I'm proud to say it was my genius that thought it up! I came up with it when Orange got bullied by a girl on her bus. Use it whenever you're in need!


"If I'm such a (whatever the bully's calling you) then why are you hanging out with me?" Smart or what???

Quote of the week!

So here we are again, the week is drawing to a close and I still haven't posted my quote! Well, fret not chums, I have it here!

Thanks to Orange for this one! It was originally meant to describe a classmate (unfortunately they must stay Anon) but I have tweaked it so you can use it as a future comeback. Here goes...

"Elephant seals look like you, only thinner."

Steve Jobs

I find this really sad, that the man who designed so many
Things that changed the world
Could have died so young
From such as ruthless killer
As pancreatic cancer

Steve Jobs lived every day like it was his last
And carried on bravely until the end.
It was nice that he saw the launch of the iPhone 4S.
It's weird. I feel so sad.
Strange, you might say, I never knew him.
Did I?
I didn't, yet ever since I first touched a Mac.
I saw the magic inside the machine.
I saw the awe-inspiring design.
I saw how much effort had gone into
Making computers.
For people who didn't like the norm.

Hopefully Apple will carry on.
Inspiring people.
Just like.
Steve.
Inspired me.

If only Jesus had an ipod...

... then he would sympathize with us and get God to give man the secret of the never-running-out-of-charge-iPod! OK, not likely. But they do take forever to charge! I dug mine out from the pit of my room and discovered it unhelpfully had no charge. Particularly unhelpful as I needed the heavy dubstep I kept on there to drown out my sister's warbling. Even more unhelpful as my earphones won't fit in when it's charging :(

Book of the month: The Secret circle (L.j.smith)

Cassie is not happy about moving from sunny California to gloomy New England. She longs for her old life, her old friends...
But when she starts to form a bond with a clique of terrifying but seductive teenagers at her new school, she thinks maybe she could fit in after all.

This book is AMAZING!!!! I loved it from start to finish - particularly the little secret that only the reader knows. It adds an exciting twist to the story! Cassie is a very relatable character... annoyed at moving, stressed at having to start a new school - it could be any of us. But what makes the book interesting is her powers; and her ability to complete the circle.

Why are little sisters so annoying? SIGH…


I mean, I should know! I have two, and well, my older sis acts young enough to be smaller than me! But no, I, the older, more mature (sometimes) sister is left clueless about this vitally important piece of information.
If only I knew how they ticked, I could have some control over them. But I don't, so they continue to ruin my life - except, somehow, I always get blamed. I mean, they have their good points; though from my point of view I could count them on a finger on my right hand. Let me think...
1) they are related to me.
2) errr..... ummm.... seriously, I can't think of anything else!


Could some of you little sisters out there clue me in? I'd appreciate it, and I'm sure Orange would too.

So... No.1 Jellybean, eh?

Dear readers,
How can PINK Jellybean claim to be number one jellybean? I thought we were equals in this?
Anyways, sorry to start with a moan. It's just I get insanely jealous of everything if I think about it too long… Or insanely proud, just hearing the name of my parents hometown from someone who lives there makes my puff up and say, "Oh! My mum was born there!"
Mnm… I probarbly didn't phrase that too well! I sound really arrogant. I'm not usually like this, I'm just slightly hyper from all those blue skittles that I just ate. Did you know that no food is naturally blue? You probably did. Anyway: the topic I was going to do in this post is… The true nerd.
As you may or may not know, right now, it is considered fashionable to be a 'nerd.' But what is a nerd?
Unfortunately for those of you who don't like suspense, this is full of it… As my Pot Noodle is ready, I will end this post… by asking you what you think a nerd is… then, on the 30th of September, I will write another post… About the true nerd...
Got to go, Pot Noodle is waiting,
But for the time being, goodbye, and don't forget to turn your ketchup bottle on it's head. (No on yours!)
Yours randomly,

Book of the month: Boy2girl (terence blacker)

When Matthews crazy American cousin suddenly arrives on his doorstep, it's a big shock for the whole family. Sam is small, blond and wild - with a giant attitude problem - and he immediately starts to wreak havoc on Matthew's social life. Desperate to get their own back, Matthew and his best friends cook up a brilliant, outrageous plot that will humiliate Sam and deal a stunning blow to the b****iest girls at school.
Victory is their. Until Operation Sam runs hysterically out of control...

I've read this book sooooooo many times, and yet it still manages to make me laugh! The author somehow keeps it from getting confusing, even though it is told from everyone's point of view. And when there is the twist halfway through it still shocks me, although because of the multiple narrative I knew it was coming.
A very interesting, funny and well-written book, you should definately read it sometime.

Your's randomly,

Random Fact of the Week #1

Hello everyone,
Orange Jellybean here. 
I just thought I'd take the time to introduce you to a weekly feature that I am going to do for this blog. However, if it becomes HUGELY popular, I will consider doing it once a day...
Anyway, the feature is...
Random Fact of the Week!
I just LOVE reading useless trivia, and I hope others share my passion...

A warm fuzzy glow, and food for the night

Welcome, followers,
Instead of a lengthy introduction of myself, I will introduce you to a favourite charity of mine, freerice.com
This inspiring charity asks you questions, and teaches you things which can help you in life, and for every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated by businesses to the Horn of Africa. For 1/2 an hour of your time, I fed at least four hungry people - and I learnt 12 new words! This is a great way to improve your own skills, as well as helping others and giving you a warm fuzzy glow!
Please, all of our followers, go on now and donate some rice - at no cost to yourself!
How cool is that?
Don't forget! Good luck!
Yours randomly,
Orange Jellybean

First appearances don't count

Everybody says make a good first impression, well from now on don't bother. They don't actually do anything.
Take this blog for example. First impression - a blog about jellybeans written by two people with no brains who are always right. Really - a blog about anything written by two very smart people who are always right.
Ok, bad example. But when I first met Orange Jellybean I stole her worry beads (as a joke) and she chased me  round the room till she agreed to make me some. You wouldn't think that would make us best buddies now, would you? Well, now we are!
So next time your mum says dress smart for the first day back at school, like I said don't bother.

Welcome to the world of idiots (not that we're ones of course)

Dear reader,
Welcome, as the title suggests, to the world of the idiots. Namely, the brainless. And, by brainless, just to clarify, we do not mean the type of person who devotes their life to cosmetics. No, we mean the kind of person who is refreshingly different from the norm of, well, normal. The crazy bunch.
US.
So if you are of the devoting kind, instead of devoting yourself to cosmetics, cars, or hippos, devote yourself to this blog and follow us! Also, please note, nice comments please, and if you don't like it, just provide CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not plain hatred. Or, just don't comment, your choice.
So thanks if you could be bothered to read all that, and we promise it will be more interesting next time, yours randomly,
Pink Jellybean and Orange Jellybean
P.S: To clarify, red writing is a shared post, pink is from Pink Jellybean, and orange is from... you guessed it... Orange Jellybean.
