ABOUT  JASMINE

Hola!

My (blogger ego name) is Jasmine, Jazz for short and nicknamed Jazz Matazz. I blog over at EbonyBlackLines so feel free to drop on over. Here's my tumblr too.

I am a teenage girl living in the wet, cold, rainy country of England (-_-). I am a wannabe published author, professional reader, reviewer, blogger, lover of sports, kind of photographer, artist (sorta!) and linguist. I speak fluent sarcasm...;) lol.

I have too many favourite books and authors to name so don't ask and I HEART SPORTS! I play football and basketball for teams and I trampoline competitively and sometimes play badminton and tennis with my brother. I love every single colour and there are WAY too many to name but I do love purple, all shades of blue and green and red and pastel colours and.what did I tell you??!

ABOUT  HEIDI

Heidi Nagaitis is a 19 year old (20 in September!) History student and blogger, she’s an avid reader; loves fashion and spends a lot of time chatting nonsense. She blogs at: www.hemlinesandholdups.blogspot.co.uk to try and quell her addiction to clothes (if there was fashion rehab, she’d be its most well-known resident!) and regularly empties her wardrobe, so she can fill it with more shoes, bags and dresses.

She loves a bargain and you’ll normally find her rummaging round vintage and charity shops, looking out for little gems. Having done some freelance writing, she’s decided that she’s got so much to say that she better get a job where she can write it all down, so is hoping to work on a magazine after graduation. She’ll be blogging about lots of different things that take her fancy, but most of her posts will probably revolve around fashion.

The best thing she’s learnt from her teenage years: too few shoes are a dangerous thing.

ABOUT  SASHA

Sasha is a fourteen-year-old girl who lives in a house full of books. She has a lot of creative hobbies: she's been writing stories since she could hold a pencil, on hikes her family gets too far ahead because she's photographing the grass, she loves playing her clarinet, and her friends readily state that she is obsessed with Shakespearean acing. Sasha also has two personal blogs, one writing blog and one photography blog, and she is very excited about blogging on Blog for Joy.

ABOUT  ERIN

Hey guys! I'm Erin, a 12 year old Scottish aspiring writer and cupcake decorator who you may or may not know from my blog, "Red Velvet Violets". I love to dance, read, write, create and, of course, BLOG! I am in love with The Big Bang Theory and Skulduggery Pleasant, and I could pull an all nighter just surviving on fashion magazines, orange juice and minstrels. I am a very embarrassed but devoted Directioner, I love Rita Ora's music, and I enjoy having a good old fashioned dance with my besties :D You can most likely find me with my nose in a book, or staring out my window at the never - ending Scottish rain.

Peace out,

Erin x

ABOUT  MARIAN

Hello everyone! My name's Marian and and I am currently 16 years old. I like to think of myself as a creative, independent, bookworm. I spend a lot of my time on blogger, baking, reading, crafting and looking out the window at Ireland's constant rain, lost in thought.

I blog over at inkdropperr and in my spare time (how little of it there is) I like to play my piano.

I'm still undecided about my future so I take everyday as it comes. One of my favourite quotes, "In the end, it doesn't matter how many breaths you took,but how many moments took your breath away."

ABOUT  NICOLA

ABOUT  A.

My name is Amy-Anne Williams and I live in England. I'm 13, and have a FABOO blog over at http://awkwarddonkey.blogspot.co.uk, which is where I was actually ASKED to join THIS brillibubble blog! I review books for a hobby, write, read, rollerskate, and I LURVEE all things arty! I'm in year nine at school, but wish it would go faster so that I can go to art college, photography college, bakery college and catering college - if I can do all those! I hope to have my own little cupcake cafe when I'm older in either Brighton, Eastbourne, Hollywood, Orange County, New Jersey or New York called The Cupcakery when I'm older, and hope to be really close to my neighbours like those girls from the TV series 'Desperate Houswives'. I have short reddish brownish blondish hair like those models you see in Vogue (though, sadly, no where NEAR as perfect), a pair of those big geeky glasses just for the fun of it, and a slight Welsh twinge to my accent because I used to live in Wales only three years back. Oh, and now I'm just on a desperate mission to find my hidden talent because I MAY have *cough cough* applied for Britain's Got Talent... Woo?

ABOUT  MAIDEN STAR

Well, hello there! I see that since you've scrolled all the way down just to read my little bio, you must be really interested in knowing a bit about me, right? Okay, that was just me goofing off (as usual). XD I fancy myself of being known as a perfect weirdo. Now, I don't know if it's true or not, but I won't get mad at you if you called me that! In fact, I'll count that as a compliment!

I am forever making new blogs on Blogspot, as it is just so easy and fun! So among my insane number of blogs, there are probably only one or two I actually visit more frequently. On of these is http://muse-sheets.blogspot.com, my site of free music sheets. Jadefireeyes was my very first "true" visitor there, and I do thank her for that. (Thanks, Jadefireeyes!)

What else? Oh, yes, the stuff I like to do. Well, I love doing handicrafts. (I think I ran out of crafts to do) And I sometimes like blogging (when I'm in the mood); I like playing the piano, trying out new things (including scaring my friends by drinking their weird concoctions). So far, I'm not dead yet! Also, my recent hobbies have been making sound effect/music and music sheets for my site, as well as making manips/photomanipulations on deviantART.

ABOUT  EMILY

Hey! I'm Emily, a thirteen (fourteen in six weeks!) year old girl with a passion for reading, writing, drawing, fashion, hair and makeup design, clothes (especially vintage!), dogs, Ed Sheeran, and, of course blogging! Like most who frequent the internet I despise all sport and am as inflexible as it is possible to be whilst still being able to move my arms and legs...other things I hate are attention-seekers, science, fish, lamb and the p face (strange one I know but it INFURIATES me!). I aspire to be a bestselling novelist but the longest thing I've written so far is 12k, so that dream is still in the making! :L My main blog is over at Emily's Chronicles (bad name I know, but I can't think what to change it to!) so hop on over if you're AWESOME! ~heavy winking action~ Bye for now, Emily xx

Emily xx

ABOUT  MOLLY

 

Hi, I'm Molly. I'm 13 years old, and I live in the north of England. I spend most of my time listening to music, drawing cat whiskers on myself, and tidying up. Yeah.... I'm a neat freak... I don't actually have many friends in real life, they are mainly on the internet. I don't like people touching the back of my neck, or my nose. (Personal space people!) I have a huge crush on Daniel James Howell, and a less big but insanely intense crush on Phillip Micheal Lester. I mainly wear black, and my favorite bands are Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Muse, All Time Low, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Panic! At The Disco, and Nirvana.. My converse have squirrels on them. I make YouTube videos occasionally with my best friend Karys, and live on twitter (@eternal_derp). My username on twitter came from the fact that my face IS an eternal derp. So yuuurrrrrr, I think that's about it... Oh wait! I'm incredibly short. I'm 5'2 *insert massive 'I'm so short' face right here* My blog is ramblingsofaglitterybutterfly.blogspot.com , and my email is mooshka99@btinternet.com :3

ABOUT  ISABEL

Hi! I'm Isabel and I'm twelve (well, I'm technically eleven, but I'm twelve at the end of October). I blog at A Blurred Focus (ablurredfocus.blogspot.co.uk), and I like to think of it as good. Maybe that's exaggerating. I'm a short blonde with an equally short temper, but don't worry, I don't express it on the internet! Sometimes I say stupid things, I'm that sort of person. I'm a nerdy writer, reader, artist, designer and terrible singer. I generally post reviews and opinions. Hope you enjoy my posts! Isabel x

ABOUT  JESSICA

Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m a reader, a writer, an artist, and an otaku. I tend to write a lot when I read a lot, and draw tons when I’m watching anime :P . My creativity comes in spurts, so bear with me ;) . I’m sixteen, with a tendency to use far too many emoticons while writing, so you’ll have to deal with that too! I reside in Canada, where we live in igloos, and ride the mighty polar bear to school. My dreams of the future are currently on standby at the airport on a flight from Berlin, so you probably won’t be seeing those anytime soon. My interests include: snakes, rats, biology, insane characters, anime, popcorn, that one lead pencil that has 0.3 lead, and a host of other delightful things. My current best friend is Thesaurus.net, which I use to search up fantastical idioms to stop my slightly OCD brain from exploding at the sight of two identical words in the same sentence. If you want to look up my marvelous blog, please feel free to do so, as the link is http://writtenpaintings.blogspot.ca/. You can contact me anytime at cannibalducks@gmail.comif you have any questions, comments, ideas, or strange urges to chat with a random stranger! Thank you for reading, have a swell day :)
