The ship is sailing, I’ll meet you on the other side. The future’s unclear but hopefully it will be fine.
Off to celebrate NYE at a friends house tonight which should be good. Going to (try to) make hot apple and rum like I had in London, mm. I won’t be getting too drunk like last year though, that was just too much! I also have work tomorrow although I doubt anyone will be...
So I’m not really feeling the whole write-about-whats-happened-this-year thing or the tell-everyone-my-resolutions thing, which is a little strange because I usually would be. All I will say is that, for me, this year has been all about learning the things they can’t teach you in school. I don’t know if I’ve ever sat down at the end of a year and felt so much change before....

Things that make me genuinely sad No. 987652 When people round about my age tell me they haven’t read the Harry Potter books. If you tell them to read them they’ll have to start with the Philosopher’s Stone which is the most childish one, and the next two are round about the same reading level so they’ll give up before they get to the Goblet of Fire when things start...

As I said in my video, I am feeling truly blessed today. Usually I despise this time of year, but this maybe my favourite christmas yet.
Woke up and opened all our presents (Albie opened his before anyone) and it was really lovely. Turned on the TV just in time to catch Singing In The Rain, one of my favourite films. It was the first time my brothers had seen it so it was cool to have them...

I notice him immediately as he steps on the bus, which isn’t hard considering he’s wearing a back pack which could well be bigger than me. I wonder where he’s going, where he’s been. He awkwardly takes off the bag and sits down on one of the fold up seats facing sideways. He takes of his glasses and looks up towards the back of bus. Oh god I’ve caught his eye. I look...
Reasons why I love my mum No. 234567890
Last month she found £60 in cash on the floor in Marks and Spencers and immediately handed it in. She just got a call from M&S saying the money hadn’t been claimed so was now hers, after she originally thought they would send it straight to charity. So now she has £60 to collect, but says that because it wasn’t hers in the first place,...

How can you love me when I am ugly? Guess I can only hope.
Always do this! Jynx my good mood by saying I’ve never felt happier, only to feel crappy for the next few days. Conquer a ladder then slip on a snake.

You know, I’m really quite happy. Come to think of it, I can’t remember when I’ve been happier. Had a really lovely evening. Abi is back from Liverpool for christmas and it’s so so good to see her. We just snuggled up on the sofa, joined by the cat, watched Harry Potter, the Apprentice Final and Misfits. Oh and drank tea and gossiped about our crushes, failed attempts at...

So today I have taken photos, painted, learnt a new song on my acoustic and applied for a job. I like to think that’s pretty productive, even if I have felt painfully bored most of the day! But right now, there is evidence of all of these things in my bed, so I shall have to tidy up before snuggling in bed to watch a bit of Russell Howard*.

Well I was up at 7 only to find my work was closed due to snow; lovely and irritating at the same time. So now my plan is to have a shower, go out with my cameras to photograph all the pretty snow and then hope it will have melted a little by this evening so I can see Abi who is back from Liverpool for Christmas <3 Also getting anxious as some of my christmas presents for people haven’t...
Ahh man, you know what sucks? When someone you look up to acts like a douche. I know everyone makes mistakes, and when you do something bad it doesn’t make you a bad person, but it’s still a little gutting.
I just can’t believe humans sometimes. We are such weird creatures.

I believe that lovers should be tied together, Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather, Left there to drown, Left there to drown in their innocence. I believe that lovers should be chained together, Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters, And left there to burn, Left there to burn in their arrogance. I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers, And laid entwined together on...
