Derren Brown is actually amazing. LOVE.
Derren Brown is actually amazing. LOVE.
My new best friend.
This is Stitch. He is tiny, and adorable and blue and has amazing hair. I couldn't resist. I cuddle him while revising. He makes me happy when Stewie from Family Guy isn't on my screen.I mentioned him on my new tumblr blog: http://treecalledlife.tumblr.com/ Although you get the pictures first ;)
Loyalty or what ? Medal ?
I did it .
I made a new Tumblr because I love it, and I clearly want to fail all my exams.
http://treecalledlife.tumblr.com/
It's called Altivolus and is a bit like this blog and Poesy squished together in picture format. Hardly any words, mostly picture. It'll be a nice break when you're sick of my gushing feelings on this one, and the lack of updating of Poesy and the endless pretty tattoos on Pretty Inky.
Get there now, and invite your friends.

My House .
Next year I will be living in a house with my current flatmate Emily.
Here's the story;
Emily, Alex, Nicky, Brishen and I all agreed to live together and look for a 4 bedroom house to rent at the start of the year (Jan). About a week after deciding this, Nicky dropped out saying that she wanted to live with some people in a different flat because she spends more time with them and thought it was a sensible decision. We agreed. And then there was 4. We started looking for a 3 bedroom house (Alex and her boyfriend {who doesn't go to uni, but has been living with her in her uni room all year} Brishen would be sharing a room). I wasn't able to go with Emily, Alex & Brishen to look for a house on the day they did because I had a lecture, but they told me to trust them on a house, and they put all our names down for it.
We signed the contract in January and have been looking forward to it ever since (apart from Emily and I not discussing who got the upstairs, and who got the downstairs bedroom - Alex and Brishen were getting the bigger upstairs bedroom with the double bed).
This afternoon Alex came into my room and told me that she's quitting her course next year and therefore won't be living with me and Emily next year - Brishen obviously won't be living with us either. Which leaves just Emily & I.
Then I text Emily saying 'Shotgun Alex's big room! Haha' and she texts back basically saying that she wants the big room so its easier when her boyfriend comes to stay. I can't really argue, she has a genuine excuse for needing the room, but I did kind of want the room. Ah well, I'm upstairs, out of harms way and next to the bathroom. :)
We just need to find a new housemate soonish or Alex will have to pay for the whole year. Either way, it's not really mine and Emily's problem - we won't be paying any more. I'm a bit concerened about if we do find a new housemate though - what will she be like? (we would both prefer a girl). Will she be messy, noisy, a drug addict ? She'll be living downstairs regardless... but that means she's near the kitchen - will she be the type to steal food? That's if we even find a housemate.
Wahey! More stress ! :(
No, not really, but hey, I'm a drama queen today - go with it !

Two things.
1. I am constantly hungry. Constantly. It went from complete loss of appetite at the start of the month to now completely over-eating. I'm worried about my lack of bikini bod this summer.
2. I'm starting to prefer Tumblr to Blogger. Seriously. I might start ANOTHER blog over on tumblr which consists mainly of reblogs. There are just so many lovely pictures that I want to reblog and can't right now because my Tumblr is about tattoos (and random bursts of desire).
Hmm, maybe I'll start it in the summer - not that I'll have any time in the summer because I've gone and done something really stupid - I've got myself a summer job.
It's in an Oyster and Champange restaurant which is scary because not only have I never worked in restaurant before, but because it's a really swish expensive restaurant where people want the best. The food is really expensive and the champagne is really expensive and there are just such high expectations. Every time I think about working there in the summer - I get butterflies of fear in my stomach which makes me feel physically sick. I really want to ring up the manager and come up with some lame excuse as to why I can't work there anymore. Something to do with a large piece of uni work to be done over summer or something. I had my two shifts before I left for uni again during Easter - and it went well, but the hours are really late (the second night I got back at about 1 in the morning - and I was driving - which was scary).
I hate the pressure, I hate the late nights, I hate how she incorrectly taxed me on my minimal earnings and didn't give me my tips, I hate how I'm too scared to call up and complain.
I really don't want to do this job anymore, but part of me just thinks that it's just because I'm lazy and want all of summer off. Then another part of me thinks that I should just carry on with the job because I'll earn lots of money (one guy left a £40 tip) and it'll be a good experience and that I should just grow up, and stop worrying. But what if when I ring up to say I'm going on holiday for a couple of weeks in July she tells me off and cuts me loose? I'm so scared to ring her. Plus, she owes me about £12 in unecessarily cut taxes and at least that again in tips.
I really don't know what to do.
Sorry, that was more like 3 things.

Day 8
Day 8 - Pictures of your room.
This is my uni room ...at uni.
Yes, I used my notice board to make a collage. Problem ? And yes, I was supposed to be revising for my Egypt exam when I took this picture - but hey, at least I got it done !

Sorry.
I've been pretty slow on catching up with my blogging of late. I've had exams and revision and many other things distracting me from blogging here.
Somehow, my tumblr is still updated regularly (daily).
So get your little tushies down there, especially if you like tattoos !

Day 7
Day 7 - Favourite TV Show
LOST
It's nearly over after 6 merciless seasons. I can't believe it. I can't believe I'm still watching it to be honest - but I doubt I'll ever regret watching Lost - it's been a part of my life these last 6 years, and it's my enthusiasm for Lost that has got me devoted to other shows, too. I never knew one show could mean so much to me before Lost. Yeah, there was Coronation Street and Dexter's Laboratory and Even Stevens, but Lost was actually deeply important.
I love Sawyer. He makes Lost what it is - forget Jack and Kate and Kate and Jack - you need to be focusing on Sawyer. And Sayid. And Locke. And Charlie. And DESMOND ahh <3
Ahem, yeah, Lost FTW.

Day 6
Day 6 - Favourite Song
Aint No Sunshine - Bill Withers // Nantes - Beirut
It's hard to pick a favourite song, but if I could, it would definitely be one of these two. I love how timelessly perfect they are. Especially Aint No Sunshine - recorded in c1972 ? Timeless. Love it so much - no modern version does it justice. Nantes was the song that got me into Beirut and still almost reduces me to tears every time I hear it - and I have no idea - I just absolutely want to marry this song.
Sorry I can't go into more detail - but these songs speak for themselves.

Day 5.
Day 5 - Favourite Food
Cheese
I love a good block of mature cheese more than a lot of things. I could happily nibble on a thick slice of mature cheddar for hours. It's my favourite food ever. YES it's fattening. YES it's gone off milk. Really wish I cared. I don't think I could ever be annorexic due to my overwhelming adoration for the cheesey variety.
Some of my favourite cheeses;
Welsh Mature Cheddar
Wensleydale crumbly
Cheshire crumbly
Davidstow Mature Cheddar
- Green waxy mature cheese from Morrisons whose name draws a blank.
Philadelphia (oh yes... speadable cheeses !)
Dairylea
Babybel
Goats cheese (i like them as breaded sticks)
I'm going to go grab a slab of cheese now actually. I have a nice bit of Davidstow in the fridge - if you'll excuse me.

Day 4
Day 4 - Favourite Book
The Lovely Bones
Unlike the angelicised film, the book is dark, significant and powerful.
Narrated by a girl in heaven, who was raped and murdered by her neighbour. The book is about her family coming to terms with her death and trying to investigate into who did it. We also see the girl in her own heaven with her other dead friends and their own idyllic little individual paradise.
It's such a brilliant book - it keeps you riveted from start to finish. Do they catch her murderer ? I'm not going to ruin the ending - besides, that element is not really the main focus of the book.
Plus there's a yellow dog called Holiday in this book. Errr...hello? Instant love.

Day 3
Day 3 - Favourite Musician.
Zach Condon of Beirut
Literally the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Every single song has moments of pure joy for me. Please keep in mind that Beirut are a folk/indie band - I specialise in hip-hop. That's how amazing this man's voice is to my ears. Love love love.
I love how occasionally Zach sounds out of control, but then you realise that's the point, that's the attraction to his gorgeous voice which sounds like it should belong to a mustached 1940's gentleman in a dinner suit singing at a formal engagement.
I love Zach Condon. I love Beirut. Favourite band ever ever ever.

Day 2
Day 2: Favourite Movie
Gladiator
I dislike Russell Crowe as an actor incredibly, but this film without him would have been inexplicably bad. He doesn't make the film though, that award goes to the immense Joaquin Phoenix who plays the merciless Commodus. However, I can't possibly imagine another actor playing Maximus quite as well. This film has absolutely everything you could ever want in a film:
An amazing plot, a bit of action, a bit of romance, a bit of revenge and of course, a bit of emotion. When I first watched this film I cried for ages. My brother (who claim's he is all hard and shizz) also cries at the end of this film. It just strums at your heartstrings.
Another thing about this film I love is the fact that it is my Dad's favourite film, also. We once started watching it at 10 oclock at night, completely forgetting that it's about 2 and a half hours long. I was about 15... ooops. Mum wasn't very happy, especially as it was a school night and everyone else was in bed. It was awesome, though. Happy memories, with Daddy and me, watching Gladiator - the best film of all time.

Day 1
Day 1 - Favourite Actor.
Joaquin Phoenix.
Why ? Amazing in everything I've ever seen him in, ever. That's why. There doesn't need to be any justifying when it comes to the Phoenix. He's just fandabbydosey.
Favourite role: Commodus in Gladiator.
And because we don't want this to come across as sexist, I'll name my favourite actress, too.
Julia Roberts/ Meryl Streep.
YES, I HAVE TWO WHOM ARE LOVED IN EQUAL MEASURE. Julia Roberts because she is just so believable and has nice teeth. Meryl because she's still at it even though she's 50+. You go sister ! (Saying that Meryl's amazing is like saying an orange is orange).
Julia Roberts- Favourite role: Erin Brockovich.
Meryl Streep- Favourite role: Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada .
I also love Helena Bonham Carter, but I thought 3 might be pushing it.
Hell!
Helena Bonham Carter- Favourite role: Marla in Fight Club.
Love love love :)

Promise .
This'll be the last time I post about Doctor Who for ages, I promise - I know I can't shut about him it, just one more thing...
Absolutely dreading/looking forward to tonights episode;

Cry? Rejoice? Both? Either way - DOCTOR WHO tonight :) :) :)
Jealousy is the word I'm looking for, I think.
