Can you still feel the butterflies?

If anyone follows me on twitter then you'll know that I have just returned from London!
Adam and I went down there to see one of my all time favourite bands, Jimmy Eat World. I have always loved them and when they announced they would be playing two albums in full I was mightily excited! Intially I thought we had missed out on the chance to see them however Adam suprised me with two tickets :)

 (The view from our hotel in Wembley; a stones throw away from the stadium. Photos from the gig. Adam and I being us :) haha.)

I do like London, however I could never live there with all the hectic hustle and bustle. As I am originally from a small close-knit mining village I feel that Newcastle is big enough for me; well for now anyway. I generally take loads of photos but due to the first day of summer, which turned out to be the wettest day I have encountered in a long time, I wasn't able to take many photos in fear of destroying my phone or camera! I would like to go back soon though. xx

Here's a video to set y'all on your way!

You Knows It!



I pretend to be doing work when really I'm skimming the internet to find new goodies and good ideas. I always manage to find girls who have a lot of money and the ability to be able to wear whatever they want and get away with it. Damnnnn youuuuu! :)


Well I have decided to be the normal one, the one who isn't made of money but is made of ideas.


I don't believe in fashion as such,
I believe in clothes that look good and make you feel good :)



Win.



Ohhhhhhhhh P.S I have two arms, for some reason I only look like I have one.

Mend and Make Do.

I used to always make my own garments
just because really,
and then I stopped. I don't have a valid reason in why I stopped maybe just growing up or lack of time.

Anywhooooooo, this is about to change! 
I have been collecting clothing patterns for a few months now and have just bought some beautiful material 
so let the making commence!

It's amazing how.

The mind works. Today the police rang regarding the break in to my car and asked how I first realised it had happened.
The worst part being- I didn't.

It's so weird, I got back to the car and the car was open but I presumed that I had pressed my clicker twice.
There was stufff all over the floor and everything but again I had excuses for everything!

It is truly amazing how the mind can cover up things.
I suppose it could work right across the board with feelings and what not.

Anywayyyyyy, the police haven't found any evidence and no CCTV equals NO JUSTICEEEE!
Gawddddd, if I ever catch them, the people who made my mind cover up the truth, I swear I will hurt them :)
I will never forgive 'em for hurting it.
oh ho ho hoooooo.

Whirl their wheels in the Wacky Races!

 A couple of months ago my Mum took me to Beamish, with the promise of the awesome sweets, to go to this antique car show thing.
I wasn't amused by most of the cars but then I saw this beauty and I've only just found it while looking through old photos.
I feel that me and this car could have a blossoming relationship
a beautiful endeavour 
a long-lasting voyage
a partnership so delightful
a life worth living 
I NEED THIS CAR
IT SHOULD BE MAHHHH CARRRRRRRR!
 P.S- look at the chappie's face in the black car.

Oooooo, hello!

Spring Cleaning.... Out!

No more clutter in my life for me! No sirreeeeeee!
Spring is 'officially' here!
Apart from the lack of fresh new leaves and buds gracing our countryside the weather. overall, has cheered up!

Huzzah!

So, I've decided to clear out my life, as spring time is stereotypically the time to do this-not sure why, but yes I'm going to start tonight!

I am going to get rid of anything disgusting and worthless I may own/have owned!

I've already thrown out some rubbish which even I, who wants to give back, couldn't even give to charity as its an offence to the eyes!



Alas, I'm going to start with clothes tomorrow, OH MY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHESSS, then move on to shoes and bags finishing with odd bits lying around.
I'm not exactly into this whole 'green planet' thing as well if being a little extravagent in a long drive is gonna make this world warmer then helllll,  
I'm up for that!
Butttt, this time I am going to give back and gonna give it all to charity.
Hopefully they will be grateful! lolz.

the post of two parts.

Part 1.
Warrior Queen
Meet my new, fierce baggggg.
Its so different and ofc represents such a classic figure.
Win. In. A. Bag.


Part 2.
HELLO SKY!
I have always towered over my friends and at my current height of on avg. 5'8" I am seen as 'tall for a girl'
Whenever I wear heels I turn from tall woman to short man in heels.(Apart from the fact I look nothing like a man)
It is quite the dilemna and with the amass of shoes I own I am wondering can you be shortened?
I know midgets and the like can be heightened (breaking of the bones) but can I be shorter?
ORRRR I think I will just get some new tall friends :)

P.S I love my friends that I have at the minute. Never to be replaced... just added toooooo!

Many People Look Forward to the New Year for a New Start On Old Habits.


Hello New Year!
Well in a couple of hours!


I have never carried out New Years Resolutions as I already know I have nil self-control and that they will all be broken!

BUT…

This year is different, it’s my 21st year (or soon will be) of life on this planet and well its about time I had some self control

Here is a list!
I like lists…


  1. Have some self control
  2. Carry out the 8 minute abs routine, everyday
  3. Take a photo everyday,my memory is rubbish so its about time I keep actual evidence : )
  4. Have a takeaway at least once a week!
  5. Go away for weekends and the like
  6. I will give up chocolates totally. 100%. Completely. 
  7. I will think of a password other than "password." 
  8. I will read the manual... just as soon as I can find it.
  9. I won't worry so much. 
  10. I will cut my hair
  11. I will grow my hair
  12. I will be more imaginative.
  13. My list suddenly looks incredibly hard, hmmm here is some resolutions I would definitely keep!
    1. Spend more time watching TV / movies.
    2. Chat more over phone / Internet.
    3. Read less.
    4. I want to gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds.
    5. Stop exercising. Waste of time.
    6. Procrastinate more.
    7. Drink. Drink some more.
    8. Start being superstitious.
    9. Spend less time at work.
    10. Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.
    11. Take up a new habit: Maybe alcoholism!! 


Overall, I just wanna have another 'ossum year like this one!

What's the Time Mr.Wolf?


Has anyone ever wondered to what extent mobile telephone technology has affected the watch industry? Let's be honest with ourselves, how many of us rely on our mobile's to tell the time? I would never purchase a new watch for timing when my phone has a perfectly good clock. As a sentimental fool, I've taken to wearing one of my mum's watches, really only as an accessory. Eventually, I'll purchase a similar functioning vintage men's watch, hopefully in a sea masters style, off of eBay or some other brilliant place.

Frankly, I'm not one for time. I'm 20, nearly 21. I'm either always early or always late. I wish for a perpetual summer; fuck the changing of the seasons. The only hour of the day that matters is 5:00pm Monday-Friday. I don't like to celebrate birthdays, opting instead to celebrate life.
Duedate? Do dontdate.
And lastly, forget diamonds, it's actually pizza that's forever.
Ofc, schedules are practical, but life is not. If there's one thing I've learned (and stuck by) it's that you'll get there when you get there (physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually) and, at present, time is all you've got. Tomorrow-tomato is a whole 'nother day, so think patient and wear your watch with a different state of mind.

Love Takes Up Where Knowledge Leaves Off

Hello!
I hope your Christmas was nice - mine certainly was!




 Yeah, I'm looking at you, Blue/White/Brown Finsk wood wedge Boot. Wanna be friends? I know you do. Why? Well, because we could be great together, of course.

Anyone actually know where to purchase these? I can't find them anywhere, like I'm kind of thinking that I need to call Tom Cruise to try and save me a pair of these shoenicorns.

Ugh, my heart hurts so bad right now. Some people think too much; I think I feel too much.
Paris is love. Let's go.

"Oh Gravity, thou art a heartless bitch."

I officially love the Big Bang Theory and I feel it hasn't been advertised enough
and from this alot of people have been missing outtt!
Buttt, I love it and when I was watching it the other day this thought sprung out at me...

Wolowitz looks like a young Homer!
What another ossum' reason to watch this show.

"Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors."


All I want for Christmas is...

An Otter!




Awhhhhh liccle cooooooties!


(I wish I was excited for Christmas :(, hopefully soon!)

"Music Mends Broken Hearts."

"Must you know the truth? This is all for you"
This year has been one for absolute beauts of albums!
My two all time favourites being:

Say Anything - Self Titled

 Max Bemis is one of the cleverest, talentented and most technically accomplished songwriters of this generation; but ofc. All he needs now is to get over his own solipsistic and complusive awareness of self doubt.
Alas, I love it.

AFI - Crash Love

AFI have always been able to change up their style from one album to another. This album takes all of the components of old AFI and mixes them all up to compose a very tight and focused album. As soon as this album starts,I straight away had a feeling that AFI has finally found their perfect sound.
'Torch Song' is factually epic.
Everything from guitar riffs of the intro to the chanting chorus of
"Anything!  I'd tear out my eyes for you my dear."
memorable guitar continues on 'Beautiful Thieves' and 'End Transmission'. It is a lot more focused on the guitar work and the lyrical theme of the album which is that of the downfall of a relationship.


30 Seconds to Mars - This is War and Canterbury - Thankyou
have also caught my attention but not as much as the ones above.
I feel everyone should at least give them a listen.

Ofc, there has been others
but these have stuck in the ol' memory bank.

The Bone Structure Of The Landscape

Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours."  ~Robert Byrne
 
Generally I don't like snow due to the fact the whole country seems to come to standstill
but today I had fun :)
I factually love the area I live in.
Oh, and my puppy!

Follow That Car!

Brummmm.
I officially think I could be a spy...


Like ACTUALLY do.
I am officially in love with the programme spooks and through this I feel I could
Spy It Up with the best of them!

I could be on computers finding out facts and going out on missions.
I could fire a gun and I could keep my cool.

So fair enough, I can't run to save my life as I look like a duck waddling very fast - which may be a pretty huge factor -
BUT
I still feel I am the new Spy on the block! AYEEE.

PLUSSS, I would get gadgets.
I like gadgets.


Not even my Mother would recognise!


P.S - Everyone should go and see Law Abiding Citizen. Factually Ossum'.

A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!.....Or just the jodhpur trousers!

Horseplay

I was at a friends and came across an article.
It was about how
jodhpurs or horseriding trousers are in fashion.

You what now?

Why on earth would anyone want to wear theseeee!
I don't understand.
Especially as the average UK dress size is 16 and the average height is 5'4''
In the end all we are going to see is this
minus the pony of courseeee....

Amuuuuzin' Yuh :)

The Web of No Secrets.


Social Networking.
Rant.

I've always followed the fads, I know I have an addictive personality and I become quickly involved in the new and up-to-date site which everyone just must be a part of!
For example I worry if my fish are starving on facebook, even when I'm not even online!
But lately I'm finding it a complete bore or worse a place where I find out things I just don't need to know!

Back in the day when Myspace was the place to be, many people had over 25,000 friends. Maybe impressive at first, you think: Twenty five thousand friends? Wow.
No ones real, kind of a problem like!

The internet while it appears to be 'connecting' us its actually doing the complete opposite. We may be friends online but strangers in the street.
We live in our small houses, year after year, never even knowing the names our nighbours and hell forbid we actually make eye contact or talk to one another!

Sharing your deepest desires and secrets to another IP address does not make them your friend, even if they follow you on Twitter and always 'there for you', they are not your friend.
HELLLO! Future Stalker.

Its this age of great digital connectedness, we increasingly find ourselves clinging to illusions of intimacy, adrift in a sea of anonymity, surrounded by the great faceless, nameless masses from which no commonality can be extracted.

There doesn't seem to be privacy anymore, I can see when people are talking to each other and its pretty easy to pick up on things you shouldn't be aware of.
I find that without even trying, I ALWAYS come across something that will upset me on a daily basis. Sad I let something so trivial mess with me, but again its the way of the social network that we're all a part of.
I'm finding out what people are getting for Christmas, where people have been, who people have been seeing and many more things which I just don't need to know! If I wanted to know I would ask!
One site that annoys me greatly would be twitter, as its one of those sites you become strangely addicted to whether it to be stalking a celebrity or the fact you NEED to constantly update your status....like anyone ever reads them.

I'm seriously considering deleting them all, why do we need them? I have a mobile and the people I really need to contact are there and at the end of the day a nice chat is the best thing :)

/Rant.
