my boyfriend told me to get a life.. i beg to differ.

I'm probably not allowed to publish this onto here, but it's so funny I can't help myself.

Basically, I've been getting back into The Sims 2 over the last few days with mah new laptop, and I was downloading custom content when I found THIS read me..

'HEY YOU! Yes, you. Stop pointing at yourself, it's embarrassing. You've just downloaded a Starz Creation. YAY!!! Make sure you leave a comment or say thanks. A little appreciation goes a long way. Anyways onto the stuff you need to know.

impulse buying is good for me. just not for you.

Omigosh I've got so many good buys lately!

I've just come back from a long weekend in France with the school where I picked up some really yummy bits and pieces from markets and shops there. And it was so cheap too! Gotta love a cheap and gorgeous holiday buy :')

I picked up these pumps from a cute little market near Rue for 22 euros. They're made of real leather and are so cute and intricate! I'm just so worried of ruining them though, 'cause I wear pumps out so quickly >< But they are easily one of my favourite pairs of shoes.

Quick shop suggestion if you're going to france.. MIM. Whilst me and a couple of mates were there we got loads of reallyyyy nice and reallyyyy cheap clothes. I bought a jumper, a 3/4 sleeved top and a

boho purse for under 10 euros! How cheap is that?!

I've also just ordered a vintage style, working (hopefully!) pocket watch necklace from Ebay, for £1.89 (and compared to the £26 one I saw in Urban Outfitters, it's a steal!) which I will post a picture of when it arrives!

I also popped down to my local St Peter's Hospice today because I thought I'd seen an expansion pack for The Sims 2 a little while ago and I got a massive bargain there too! Not only did I get the Nightlife expansion pack, but I also picked up The Day After Tomorrow, Little Miss Sunshine and Weezer's blue album, all for...

4 QUID!!!

See. It just goes to show, charity shops are brilliant, not only as it goes towards a great cause, but also because you come back with some brilliant bargains!
Oh, in that picture you can see the jumper I got from France and you can also see that my hair is yet AGAIN a different colour XD

So the purple had faded so badly. It was far from purple anymore. In places it was purple, but in others I had: pink, orange, red, plum and brown.. My roots were getting really long, quite a few people were getting purple and I didn't really like the colour in the first place, so I opted for Garnier Nuttrise in Red. (Which is more of a reddy brown)

That was at least 2, if not 3 weeks ago, and my roots are beginning to show again and the colour has faded a lot, but you can see its much different. I'm just debating what to do next, as the last dye I used was too red than brown.. Eventually, I'd love to have hair like Lua P's! Its amazing!

For now, I can only dream.

back in business baby!

So yesterday I bought my new laptop! :')
After about 3 months of having to use the stone age home computer, I can finally get back to doing everything I used to - meaning lots of blogging!

Wanna start off by saying that although its a lovely new laptop that's bigger better faster, etcccc.. I am going to really miss my old one :'( So many pictures have been lost, a book, old band videos, so many memories.. And I'm quite a sentimental person, so I've already had a cry to Marko.
But anyway! Time to move on!
..And upload about 60 Cds ><

So whilst I do that, I'm going to leave you with a link to a new song from a band who I am UBER excited to be going to see in October with my Mummy dearest!
Shuffle - Bombay Bicycle Club

illness cured my boredom.

Day 4 of being sick and Mum shipped me off to school today. Baaaaad idea.
Felt crappy as anything, so hopefully I'll be getting tomorrow off!

I forgot to post the pictures last night, but I made those rainbow cakes I found on Kalyah's blog! Apart from the fact that Tescos didn't stock any blue food colouring, they came out pretty darn good! Anndddd! I had a bit too much chocolate frosting left over ;)

                            

The photos don't do the colour any justice but they were really bright! And proper yummy too.

But this is just a quick little blog to let you know that I'll have a new header photo up later that I've designed and drawn myself (with a little help from how-to-draw-funny-cartoons.com and piknik.com) - I'm quite proud of it! ^^

But for now, toodle pip!

in sickness and in health..

I actually can't breathe.

I've been dying for the last few days, with a stupid bunged up nose, cough and general unwell feeling. And I had an exam yesterday morning. Fail.

Anywho. I came straight home after the exam and snoozed on the sofa, and that's pretty much all I've been doing since! Except for eating.. I had 8 hot dogs and 3 brioches today - just as a snack!

Today I feel an iddle better. I watched Death At A Funeral while painting my nails, and although I was quite focused on my nails, I thought it was quite a funny film! Much more interesting than I Love You Phillip Morris or whatever that I watched 5 minutes of before turning it off.

Right. Back to the point of the blog. 3 things!

Yesterday I was doing the Avon, when a lady turned around and said 'Oooh! I love your hair colour!'. As flattered as I was, I'm not entirely sure why she said it.
Up to about a week after dying it Cyber Purple, it was an awesome pinky purple colour. Really bright and vivid and shiny. But now.. Now its just some odd plummy brown colour.. It doesn't look too bad, but after seeing a blog, I intend to re-dye soonish!

That blog was the next thing I wanted to talk about.
I'm sure she wont mind me naming her, but one of my best friends, Suzie, saw I was feeling a little crappy and sent me the link to The Dainty Squid - which I am now addicted to! Kalyah (the writer) has some really awesome posts, from making multicoloured cupcakes (which I can't wait to try make!) to dying your hair, and from the look of her bright blue locks, she knows her stuff!
So go check that out. I promise it'll make your day.

The third thing was inspired by a tutorial Kalyah has on her blog - how to do polka dot nails.
I saw them and had to give it a try! I needed something to cheer me up!

Surprisingly, they came out pretty well!




As you can see, I just did two per nail, just to try, but I quite like it! It looks a lot cooler in person - trust me! I just hope my head of year doesn't see them and make me take it all off..

Behind my gorgeous hand, you can see one of my horrible snotty tissues. I despise having a blocked nose. My mouth is constantly open and I just look creepy. And it stings like a bitch! Soreeee.

Oh! I made myself a yummy hot chocolate earlier too. It was particularly nice as I added a little cinnamon to spice it up a little. Unfortunately we didn't have any marshmallows or cream, but I'll definitely be using cinnamon again!

Right, I'm gonna get an early night, as I know I'll feel even crappier tomorrow if I don't, so goodnight!

Just forgot! In my last post I mentioned a song that I can't stop listening to at the moment. It's from the New Moon soundtrack (hush! I like the film and the songs from it are actually very good!) and its called Hearing Damage by Thom Yorke. (who I've just discovered is part of Radiohead!)

3am carrot and mayonaise revision.

Its been a while! But with a good excuse. My poor laptop has gone to laptop heaven, and I hate using the home computer.
But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Its a bit of a stupid time to be blogging, I know, but I just cant focus on my revision. I have a product design written paper.. well tomorrow now, and I'm revising like mad, but I have so much else running through my mind at the moment..

Spoke to the Polar Bear earlier, whom I miss very much. They said some things that made me contemplate how I've been lately, and I think I've realised something.


'No relationships are ever finished, just abandoned..'
Comes from a cute little song by Paulson called Window Frames, but sums up everything I feel at the moment.
I'm making myself very ill over a past relationship with a guy I still have strong emotions towards and I thought that if he gave me some kinda reason why nothing would ever happen again, I could finally move on.

But he can't. And so my feelings remain.

At 15 I shouldn't be getting so worked up over a relationship, or over feelings. The fact that I am, annoys me.

I've been spending a lot of time alone with my thoughts. Endless hours watching Twilight films, playing guitar, walking my dog with headphones blaring.. I took a train into town just for the journey and sat in Bristol library for hours. I haven't spoken to many people - I haven't wanted to. My mum and brother have been getting really annoyed that I go out for the whole day 'with friends' rather than doing things with them.

But I prefer life that way.

At the moment my own company is all that makes me happy. I don't have the will power to do much else or the want to talk to anyone or to be sociable. And to any of my friends reading this, I apologise for that. But sometimes you reach a point in your life where your troubled thoughts and self esteem to match needs to be lonely.

Lonely with time to contemplate. Contemplate the past, the future, the present. Contemplate your priorities. Contemplate your wants from your wishes.


But through everything, time alone to contemplate the path you wish to take.
Sadly, I'm yet to decide that path.

I'm happy sitting on trains, just because I enjoy the feeling of escape I get. I enjoy sitting in my room with my guitar, writing songs about hearbreak and shedding the occasional tear. I love walking alone through a feild in the sun, day dreaming while listening to Hearing Damage for the billionth time.

So for now blogs will be rare. Especially on the fashion and beauty front. But with good reason for their rarity.




Its been a while. But with good excuse..
