"I never do"

I have just eaten banana custard. i wish it had been fish custard though.

currently watching firefly over and over. getting ready for Hallowhedon next week. my costumes are sorted, i am going as Sally from the nightmare before Christmas..and for the wild west party i am going as a Indian. and i am hopefully making a firefly t-shirt for the last party. i really need to start sorting bits and pieces out, and start packing.

i have been talking to a few fans going next weekend, and i am getting really excited now.

i have sparkly gold nails, and a giant smile on my face...it doesn't happen very often...but life feels right.

"An Awful Lot of Running..."

Thank you all for your lovely comments, i am feeling much better now! which is good, i don't like being ill...well i don't think anyone does, silly statement. anyway, its not nice being ill, you feel useless, a tad bored, wishing to go outside and see people, go and do things...well i had to stay at home. it wasn't all bad as a cornflake cake and magazine were given as 'get well soon' gifts. another good thing was that i ordered paper heart on dvd, and it came on Saturday and i finally got to watch it! after all of last year going on and on about wanted my cinema to show it, and then the fact they never did, i now got the chance to actually watch it!----and my, it was amazing. it was odd, beautiful, and sad in places. it was funny because i fell in love. i feel as if i can relate to charlyne yi..because i don't know if i believe in love...its a hard thing to call. its a special gift you really wanna get, but only certain people do. i thought michael cera was rather good in the movie, he seemed so real.i also got AMAZING post!!!!----i got letters and gifts from lina and kait. i love you two so much! i am so happy to have such amazing blog friends! you are fab! i got a rather package from lina, which included lots of rather cool bits and pieces. and from kait i got a cool sketchbook to fill up and a giant 'n'. thank you both again. it means alot. with the rest of my time i have been; watching buffy, writing reply letters, doodling/drawing, drinking far too much tea, filling in my moleskin, thanks to the wonderful amy, i have been introduced to the 'coolest-geekiest band' in the planet! the band is called chameleon circuit----who sing about doctor who. aaaah its genius, its geeky, but not in a typical way. a time lord rock band...i am in heaven. they are my current obsession, and being on repeat..and i ordered their cd..hehe being a geek never felt so good.

ps, if you have some spare time, you should check out my friend mandy's new blog. its rather cool! she is so artistic and beautiful. shimmering vomit of crystals

away i went

i had a lovely time away on holiday. i loved being in the woods surrounded by giant trees, green-ness, quiet noise, earth, animals and even more trees. i am deeply in love with trees at the moment.my days away consisted of; swimming, bike riding, walking, crazy golf, trees, late nights, early mornings, long car drives, pick n mix sweets, toy shops, movie nights, home made pop corn, my mother's pancakes, chalk boards, giant cookies, walking on the sand, messing around with my sister, painting pottery, singing, eating 'weirds', buying presents for friends, Polaroid photos, filling in my drawing journal, buying cool stuff, reading twilight again, and taking photos.
i had such a wonderful time away..and didn't want to come back home...back to normal life. ah i wish i could go back into the woods. i really do miss it. i am fully in love with the views..oh how i miss it already...i had to add this photo in somewhere...my dad was washing up (even though we had a dishwasher at our Villa?!?!..and it was his holiday..) and he shouted, 'Nicola, come look at this, you will want to bring your camera..". and it was this little face in the sink, i couldn't stop smiling.i enjoyed drawing and writing in my drawing journal, i just need to keep it up.my wonderful bag of holiday goodies! including the lovely bag. :)i am now off to read your lovely blogs! and then after to watch the office, an American workplace, while eating holiday chocolates, and maybe read a little too.

would you like to pay it forward?

today was filled with doodles, rain..and sorting out lots of my life.
i went to see funny people the other day, on my own, which was really nice. this film was very cute. it was nice for this film to be funny, but also have a lot of heart to it. Seth was so cute..ah i love him so much. when i watched funny people, i saw a trailer for Away we go. it looks like such a beautiful film. the trailer made me smile. i am looking forward to going to see it when it comes out over there. i really like John Krasinski.also i am doing 'pay it forward' project. i am ultra excited about this! i entered into it through Look ugly in a photograph.

back to the start...back in my room

yesterday i went for a long walk. it was nice to get out and about and see friends. i always seem to be going on walks recently!
once i got in i ended up staying up quite late trying out different ideas for artist trading cards. once i have made a few, if anyone wants to trade, please let me know, because i would love to trade. :) i found my sister's tamagotchi...and its come to stay with me for a while...he he. i did ask if i could borrow it for a while, and all i got from her was a little grunt, so yay my gain. oh its all new, not compared to my really odd school one i remembered having! ha ha.i do not seem to be leaving my room recently...i enjoying sitting by myself. i miss my flat sharing uni days, when people would be walking in and out of my room all day and all night...but its weird. i am getting used to being on my own, and i do like it. because i seem to always be in my room, many of my photos lately have just been of my room...sorry about this! hopefully fun adventures will come my way very soon.

this is love

money money..i need money. ah still no job, but i am trying not to think about that at the moment! the weather did get better...and it was lovely and sunny, which made me smile so much........but then it got dark and grey..and it started to rain. so that made me stay inside. i did sort a little bit more of my room out..and also put up my twilight calender..which made me smile a little, while i heard the rain crash against the window. i did however start getting pens and stuff out, and started drawing....but by the end of it my head was super empty and ready for bed! :)
