Out of my sight! Thou dost infect mine eyes.
Spent way too long last night looking through quotes from various Shakespeare plays, and it still astounds me how clever he was. I’m now tucked up reading about the questions of Shakespeare’s authorship, but it’s all a bit too confusing for my little brain this early in the morning. I’m so excited for the movie adaptation of The Tempest that comes out in March, although...
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts.
My bed is so warm and snuggly right now, but I’ve just been reminded I have to do some band promo shots today.. in an hour, damnit! It’s sunny out which is helpful, but it’s that deceiving kind of sunshine, as it’s actually effing cold like it has been all week.
Right, seeing as all hopes of staying in bed with Albie the dreamboat have been slashed, I better get my lazy...
Well I must say, finding out your ex-boyfriend is engaged is a strange interruption to a saturday evening. Especially when you only split up last October.
There is only one man who can help me now; it’s QI time. Stephen, work your magic.
Back before midnight with both my glass slippers...
I don’t mind though. I’d rather go to sleep than be whisked off my feet right now.
We go right to the top shelf with our words now. We don’t think about how we talk, we just say the right to the fucking, just, “Dude it was amazing. It was amazing.” Really? You were amazed? You were amazed by a basket of chicken wings? Really? Amazing. What are you gonna do for the rest of your life now? What if something really happens to you? What if Jesus comes down from the...
Darren Aronofsky has done it again; created a film that has, in some small part, changed my life. Wow.
It can't rain all the time.
Well, we didn’t get round to going to the cinema for various reasons, so we booked tickets for tomorrow instead. We did however go to Tesco, and bought stupid amounts of junk food and watched The Crow; I’d forgotten how good it is. Although, I’m not sure Jon Jo will agree seeing as he fell asleep during the last 20 mins, and is now dead to world next to me. 2 weeks till he goes,...

He decided the only way he could describe it was the “two the’s”. You know, when your professor asks you to read a sentence; I love Paris in the the spring time. You read it aloud and he asks you to read it again; your brain reads the line as a whole before the words, so you only read one ‘the’. He felt like the other the. It’s only when you go back and look...

Words, he decided, were inadequate at best, impossible at worst. They meant too many things. Or they meant nothing at all.

The only girl I've ever loved was born with roses...
But then they buried her alive one evening, 1945.

So my plan today was try and do some photography as my borrowed lenses are returning to their rightful owner soon, but instead I kinda fell asleep a little bit. Ah. But like I’ve said before, self portraiture has become so uninteresting for me at the moment, so it’s probably best I just left it. So my plan for the rest of the day is to eat dinner, have a bath, read some more of Mr...

Finally Tumblr lets me post something! Sat repainting my nails, full up with macaroni cheese and tired from work. I’m supposed to be going out tonight but bed, tea and QI seem so much more appealing. Went to Toms last night to watch movies and chill out with the guys, which was lovely as always, even if I did have to leave just as Kung Pow started.
..So 20 minutes of hardly being able to...
So as you can see from my pictures, today was hair and thumb day! I absolute adore both additions (although my hairs technically more of a subtraction) and have been walking around with an extra spring in my step all afternoon. It’s surprisingly hard to get a photograph of your own thumb, but here’s my best shot.
Tadaa! What do you think? :)
Heartbreak Hotel
So two of my girlfriends split up with their long term partners at the end of last week. I spent today at college with one of them and this evening with the other. Made me remember how lonely it is being in that place. Also made me realise how incredibly my mother coped when I was there.
One of the other girls at college in our little foursome has gone through a lot of shit recently and has...
So I went to see Blue Valentine last night, and I can honestly say I have never wept so much at a movie. Such an incredible film and the acting is near nigh perfect. It pulled out all my heart strings and now I think I’m going to have to grow new ones. Oh, and Ryan Gosling is a God, but you probably already know that.
So very hard to be inconpiscious whilst tumbling as most of my dash just seems to be boobs today, more so than usual. I’m also sneakily trying to eat chocolate at the same time. I’m so glad I’m friends with the IT man so good sites are unlocked, otherwise I would be dying of boredom already and it’s only half an hour in. Jon Jo’s picking me up when I’m done and...

Sat here in my jim jams listening to Architects new album, which is incredible, and streaming from their myspace right now. Sam’s singing voice is so good, I’m glad it’s more involved on this record. Whoever designed the artwork is a genius as well.
Went into town to shoot another roll of film for my college. I have 8 days to do something good with all the shots.. hmm. Then...
