its so nice to be home, typing this right now. a long hard day was had. but all is good. at the moment i do feel like i am living on an island, i miss my super duper 2 close friends so much it hurts. i hope for fun days with them soon.
hmm not sure about this...i need my mind to wander as an artist.
to make me feel extra special recently i got two wonderful letters in the post from my pen pals Jane and Sophia. they are lovely. i am so happy to have penpals. i enjoy writing letters, and getting ones back to hear about their lives and their thoughts..its kinda magical. getting any kid of post/mail is fab.
i got given these two beautiful and lovely awards from

i am now off to look at lots of lovely blogs. :)
so went on a mini adventure at the weekend. went to Devon for my lovely friend Laura's birthday. my other lovely friend Claire went as well, which was really nice. the train journeys were not very nice though...everyone seemed to be rushing around at the weekend, trying to get home or to different places. on the Saturday we went laser questing in the woods, it was freezing cold, so cold i thought it would be breathing ice and my hands would crack in to a million pieces. but after a few games we all warmed up. after a lovely chinese takeaway and a little bit of strictly come dancing, like the good old days, we then went out dancing and visiting cute little pubs and cocktail bars.
ah the journey home wasn't the best either. had to stand up all the way home...well, i say stand up. after an hour into the journey once this guy got off, i took his space, and sat on the floor playing the gameboy...Lego batman...and kinda zoned out. it was so nice to get home, because it had been such a cold day. then of course, the next day it snows!! and hasn't really stopped since. works been kinda odd with people that can't get in, and why are people still coming shopping in the giant snow!! i guess its because its Christmas soon. one of my friends has just lost their father. its such a sad time. but sometimes i feel like a rubbish friend because i never know what to say in these situations. all i could say was that i was there if they needed me. 
it was my day off today, which was a rather good thing because the snow is super thick today and still falling! i wrapped Christmas presents, listened to Christmas songs, laughed at Michael buble as Justin bieber, wished friends good luck, heard about a few friends being snowed in, wrote letters, and have enjoyed being inside on such a horrible cold day.
today was a normal day really. went to work today. found out more information about the fact i am going away on the 1st of june to help open a new store with work. head office said they are very happy because that means me and 2 other vm staff from different stores are going. i am looking forward to meeting new people and having a good time learning more about vm bits and pieces. by the end of my shift at work, i felt a little drained, and looking forward to my weekend, as i have got if off. so my friday night tonight, consists of hanging out at home, writing letters, drawing, tidying my room, watching glee on repeat, watching ashes to ashes, maybe watching some movies tonight, and chilling out with my mum and dad.
so i have been making artist trading cards for a while now, it has been great getting the inks, pens, pencils and other arty stuff out and getting back to drawing. i really do miss it, and its great to be back drawing....not sure if its that good, but i am having fun and that's great.
if anyone wants to trade that would be amazing..well that's it you like any of my cards...and i know its hard to see them. some of them might be entered into an exhibition so they might not be able to be traded. :)
however i did get to meet 
i spent a little money..

the journey home, 
...its nice to be home.
so i had another fun-filled day or nothingness...haha. ah well i did sort out alot more of my room. and found more stuff to get rid of and sell. :) but other than that i have just watched movies, while cleaning and sorting out.
so i quick run down of me at the moment...
