Ooh!

Also I've been super good today and stuck to my veganism, but yesterday I had veggie lasange, yes with cheese on, rubbish I know, but tomorrow is a new day! Wish me luck!

Late nights...

I know it's late and I really should be in bed, but I've started getting scared on my own in the flat again! I got over the stupid phobia months ago, now it's back in full force! So it's been a while since my last post (which was super philosophical and whiny, I know!) anyway, lots of stuff has been going on, last Thursday I went to see Thrice in the Solus bar in Cardiff, with Rohan and Sean, Thrice were amazing...did I expect anything else?! Then Friday night I went to see Rohans band play in a place in Treforest, the guys did great but they were playing with a...mismatch of bands to say the least! The whole time I felt like I'd travelled back 5 years; there were people wearing chains around their jeans, chains! I felt like I was at Hawthorne Heights themed party. Anyway, over the weekend Rohan, Mitch and I, travelled to London to see Brand New supported by Glassjaw(insane) and Thrice(again). The whole show was crazy, but Brand New blew me away! They were so good! We met up with Ellie and Jonny who were down for the show aswell, and had a few drinks with them!
It was an awesome weekend but next time I need to go to London for a few days, because travelling there for just one night was hard work! I'm still tired! I'll post the videos from the gigs as soon as I get my arse in gear get them off my camera!

Forgiving.

Am I doing something horribly wrong? Am I hurting anyone? I don't know now. I try to be forgiving and compassionate everyday, I hate holding grudges it makes me feel dark and old. So why is it that I now feel like the bad guy? Shouldn't we live in a world where people where have a chance of redemption?

also found this lovely picture of Lily Cole earlier; how pretty?!

Late nights...

So I spoke to my ex-boyfriend Tom tonight and I wish we'd stayed friends. Fair enough going out wasn't exactly all good, but we used to have so much fun as friends and I miss it! We still have a connection and we still get on really well, but he's horrible about Rohan, although not to my face anymore admittedly, and I know Rohan feels...weird about me talking to Tom but he's still my friend no matter what's happened. Hmmmm...is it stupid to even being worrying about these things? Instead, I really should be snuggled up between the sheets.

Freecycle.

The best thing I've ever seen offered on freecycle "lots and lots of horse manure", some of the stuff posted on there is brilliant, some not so appealing!
What's the funniest thing you've seen offered or wanted on freecycle?

Going vegan...

is a shit load harder than I thought it would be.

mmmmmmmm

Inspired

It's been a while since I've had a really good blog browse and today I came across some beauties! Most of them fashion blogs, which have encouraged me to be a little more outgoing with what I wear and possibly do an outfit post? Probably not though, it doesn't seem it when other people do it but I'd feel horribly vain doing one, especially because most of what I wear is very very boring!
I applied for a job in the library in town today, I hope I get it, how fab would it be to work in a library?! One day I want a library in my house, with books from floor to ceiling and a ladder with wheels on, like in Beauty and the Beast! I found a couple of lovely old books of Rohans grandads the other day (the flat is like aladdins cave for stuff ike that!), my favourite being "The Conquest of Time" by H.G Wells, which sends me to sleep when I try to read it, my brain can only take intelligent literature in tiny chunks!

Today...

a day for sorting my life out, not being so lazy and actually leaving this room!

Trinkets

Seeing as I have been a slob when it comes to uni, I figured I'd do something vaguely productive, so I took photos of some vintage and some handmade trinkets that I'm going to put up on Etsy. Now to make an Etsy shop, something I've been struggling with for a while because I am hopeless. Who knows if anyone will actually buy them, but it's worth a go!

Square one...

So I vowed to get better with attending uni and all, because last semester I was awful. But I've already missed two days from being stupidly ill, I need to buckle down/man up, take some flu tablets and be on my way.

Must be funny, in a rich mans world...

Why is it that money problems all seem to bundle together and pounce on you at the exact same time, couldn't it be spread out a little? I went overdrawn by 4 pounds the otherday and fair enough it was my fault, but then I couldn't get in touch with the bank because of the snow and lack of people working there, so then they decide to take my overdraft off me without telling me, now instead of being £4 overdrawn I'm now £104 overdrawn, and have hundreds of pounds worth of charges for it, surely that's not my fault and I shouldn't have to pay it? If there is a god in any shape or form, now may be a good time to pop in and lend a hand, or some money.

Brrrreeuuughhh!

I know it's very pretty and fun to play with but I'm cold! Waaahhhh.

Late, for a very important date!

A quick post before I head to my parents for the night (the land of no internet access because my brother is alway on it) I have a doctors appointment in the morning, to try to sort out my numerous annoying ailments, and a date this evening with the third twilight book, which are far better than expected!
I leave you with a photo of a man who for some inexplicable reason turn me to jelly.

Fayre

It hasn'tbeen quite as manic as I thought getting organised for the fayre, once I'd started sorting through everything I realised I had a bit more to my name than I thought. Sophie and I have spent alot of time making some jewellery, she provides the raw materials and I get to work! She does losts of far cuter craftier things than I do, lots of embroidery and drawing, all I do is buy lots of old junk and hope someone will buy something!
New years eve was such a good night, although alot of it was fuzzy, all I remember is lots of drinking and giggling and lovely friends around me, except for Emma who I must meet up with soon, I've abandoned her.
So the news on my car is; absolutely nothing, still no money means leaving it alone and cold in the car park until I can do something about it.

Oh I also have quite a bad chest infection which means I've spent most of my day looking at photos of Jean Seberg, so it's not all bad.

2010

hello new year.
