return

so its back to normal life again. work...work...and more work. its really nice being back and seeing everyone, although i now have double the amount of work to do at the moment, fun times. so i have an awesome time at Glastonbury this year. a very different vibe to last year. the first few days were rainy, cold, and cloudy. plus the whole field was just mud...and it was super hard to get about through the mud, people were getting stuck in the mud and losing their wellies!! but then after a few days, the day broke in the morning, the morning of the night of Coldplay the weather got better, the sun came out and i got super burnt. Coldplay were amazing, like, i was nearly in tears at how amazing and moving they were. other highlights including watching Mumford and sons in the rain...that was beautiful, dancing away at the silent disco, getting a temporary tattoo at the white ribbon alliance in aid of their charity and sending a postcard to my mum telling her how much i love her and how much she means to me, watching the crazy a capella group the magnets, eating biscuits and ribena at this giant London red bus at half 4 in the morning, and staying out so late on the last night that we got back to our tent at 5.30 in the morning, to sleep for an hour and a half to then get up to pack up and leave. just being in that field. its pure love. also, i went to see glee live. oh my goodness, it was awesome. i went with my friend Charlotte. we had glee-themed drinks when we got there. singing along all night. when lea came on stage...i wanted to cry! arrgggh, i love her voice so much. best night ever!
now its back to normal everyday life.

stupid computer

Ok, so 6 days ago my computer stopped working when i wanted to post that i was going to Glastonbury...so i couldn't do it. which, made me sad. although i had a super-duper awesome time. the weather went from rain and mud--getting stuck in the mud, feeling so very cold from the rain to the sun and the heat---burning my nose/face and feeling the sun shinning down on me. i will post of my adventures very soon when i have a little time.
i miss the field....and i miss my friends.

the music is loud...and outside...heaven indeed

hello all...sorry about the giant gap in blogging. i finally have something to blog about. Glastonbury was one of those things that you have to do once in your lifetime, grated i really do wanna do it again. my adventure started with getting the train to my friend Laura's, and then going out for dinner for a fun filled catch up chat about life and its going-ons. then early next morning Laura's friend Andy and his friend Sam, came to pick us up. we then sat in traffic for 6 hours trying to get to the gates. once there, we had to then find a good camping spot...this took a while, after that we had to put up our tent, which was rather easy. after the tent was up we went for a wander and caught up with our other friends, which we then found out had camped about 15 tents behind us...which we couldn't believe in such a giant place. one thing i enjoyed about camping, was the fact you were always outside, and you could look at the sky as it changed all day and all night. one of the greatest things about this wonderful experience was getting to see broken bells. i was one away from the front row..which i still cannot believe, and being able to see James mercer's face sing, in real life, right in front of me, man, its crazy. and something that i don't ever think i will be able to put into words.during the few days i did lots of other random things. tried so many different types of food, got to experience long-drops, go to a silent disco, go down the rabbit hole--to a dance floor and mini cinema, watched a motorbike show which was crazy scary, drank lots of cider, sat in the sun, danced on the hill, and many of my other adventures can be summed up in these random photos from awesome time at Glastonbury....hopefully i can get back to normal blogging--ness...hopefully!

crisp packets always go out of date on a saturday

home, home. i am back from my work trip, and i had such an amazing time. i met some pretty awesome people. it feels weird because we would have to get up super early, then go to work, then come back to the hotel, have dinner, stay up really late hanging out with everyone, then going to bed, and then doing the same all over again the next day....it feels weird because i spent so much time with these people, to not be with them now...its odd. i learnt so much and enjoyed my adventure and i am looking forward to the next new store that will be opening up at the end of august, hopefully i will be able to go. living in a hotel for 11 days is a really weird feeling...yeah my stuff was all over the place, but the room never felt like it was mine. being home..it feels as if i have been away for months. coming home to my room being painted by my mum was a nice surprise. plus awesome amounts of mail. magazines, letters from friends, bills, doctor who live tickets, and a signed photo from Matt smith....fab stuff. oh i missed doctor who last week, but caught up with that, glee and big brother. i loved the doctor who episode with van gogh, oh it was beautiful and made me cry a little. this weeks 'who' was very funny---my favourite part was Matt running around in a towel and did awesome hair in a mess. James corden was kinda funny too, it was a weird episode. oh and i watched the last episode of glee!!!---oooh i nearly cried so many times, i love it so much. i didn't want it to end. i still love Jesse. i loved it when they sang don't stop believing' again...they all sounded amazing.it was weird going back to work...i had missed everyone and it was lovely to see everyone again...but i found out yesterday that they wanna send me to waterlooville in a couple of weeks!---and that will be for two weeks...more hotel food!
ooooh Keane have been added to the Glastonbury line up!!! i have always loved Keane, and it kinda of a dream to see them! i cannot wait for their acoustic set on the Sunday. the high light for me is gonna be broken bells...oh James mercer i love you. plus i kinda wanna see Rolf Harris so i can sing along and dance to 'court of king caractacus'.
i have a couple of days off, so fun times and relaxing, and sleep will be had.

i wanna be jesse's girl....

i had an odd weekend filled with random chats, people getting upset, feeling angry, feeling sad, late night walks home, watching the sun rise, doctor who filled Saturday and other things. the sky photo was taken very early Sunday morning, and the sky was beautiful. on Tuesday i brought the coolest book in a charity shop, its a guide to old Kodak camera's---its really old, and the photos are amazing.today at work i was given my train tickets and hotel information for my trip to bridgwater. i am really looking forward to meeting lots of new people. plus i will be helping put all the new mannequins and other visual bits and pieces together, plus setting up the new store. its gonna be hard work, ten days straight work, but i do think it will be good experience and i will have fun...well hopefully! at the moment i am also getting excited because next week i am going to see flight of the conchords in London with my sister! i cannot wait! plus also i have Glastonbury to look forward to next month. i have got most of my stuff for it, we brought a tent the other day, but i am trying to work out who i really wanna see. i think i have come to the conclusion that we will wing it, and just see whats on, when they are on, but i must must see broken bells. oh also currently all i am listening to are songs from glee...run joey run is my favorite, plus Jessie's girl. i love Jesse, aka Jonathan groff so much! he is awesome.

its friday

man, i have not posted in such a long time. well its feels like a long time.
i am currently; enjoying sorting out stuff in my room and moving things around, waiting for my garden state poster to be ready by the framers, eating orange tictacs, watching the office, giving presents to friends, and thinking about how i am going to be another year older.
i watched whip it the other day, and loved it. i know ellen page and ali shawkat are two of the coolest people in the planet, but they were both EVEN cooler in this movie. i loved how much ellen page's character made me really think about life, and doing something that you love so much, and if you don't or can't, how bad it hurts. awesome film. nearly made me cry too. ellen page looked amazing..i have the same calculator watch...i just need to work out how to use it.
the Glastonbury line up was released yesterday...eek! broken bells are playing!---if i get to see
James mercer i think i may faint...or be really really really happy.
