nicola is looking forward to her train journey

I am currently packing for my trip tomorrow. after an early start at work (7am), and finishing at half 1, i am then catching my train at 2ish to Devon to visit my lovely uni pal Laura. we have fun fulled days and nights planned, and the coolest thing is that we are going to see two dancers from strictly come dancing--Brian and Kristina, they are doing a show....if i actually get to meet Brian i think i might faint....eeek. tomorrow at work we have a fundraising day, we have to wear green for our charity NSPCC...hmmm...i thought i had green clothes, but i really don't. however, i found my old green converse (that have yet to be wore properly) in the back of my wardrobe..and i have a black, yellow, purple, green dress i can wear, so at least i will be a little green. next week we are having a bake sale at work to raise more money, so i am looking forward to making cakes. arrgghh i really need to get my sister to cut my fringe (shes a hairdresser) and then get some sleep.

soda...soda...and even more soda

so the funniest thing has happened. while away on holiday, when i went to the tiny little supermarket, i came across the coolest soda drinks in the world! Jones Soda. i think its the funniest thing in the world because i have never heard of these drinks at all, and when i get back and start researching them i see that the lovely Let nature be has just done a post on them! well like i just said, i have never had Jones Soda before, and i think they are great! they flavours are amazing. however i could only get my hands on a few of the giant list of flavours. they are simply amazing. i fell in love with the photos on the bottles, and the soda is amazing. i have also entered some of my photos on their website.i am addicted, the only problem i have now is, i have a few bottles left, and that's that. i cannot find them anywhere over here in the UK, i will not give up hope. i will keep looking. update..i think i have found a website..however still looking into it. :)i am missing taking photos of the woods and the sky...i miss being outside.

i heart my version of forks

i feel as if i am living in forks at the moment...its so rainy and cloudy. i think its getting really to storm. yay for rain.... whenever it comes! i have just started a book i had on my shelf, but i will be hitting the book shop soon for a pile of new books. i am reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. its an odd book, about a girl called annabel. something bad has happened to her over her summer, i am yet to find out what. but she has just met this guy, hes obsessed with music, he's determinded to make her listen, and he's determinded to make her smile. but can he help her forget what happened that night everything changed? its rather interesting, and i am enjoying it so far.i am up to creative fun for my sister's birthday which is coming up very soon! :)

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.

my fun filled weekend

So I am back from my friends lovely house in Brighton. and i had such a wonderful time. it was nice to see my friends again and just hang out. when i first got to Brighton, it was raining and did not look very nice. however the sun came out later on. over the weekend we did so much! on Friday once we had all met up we went to the pavilion, down the lanes (which are streets full of the most amazing shops), went on the pier, saw an art exhibition, had drinks on the beach, and went to an amazing cake shop.i loved waking up to green all around me. just looking out the window, and all is green! on Claire's birthday, which was Saturday went for lunch in a cool cafe/restaurant where i had pink lemonade, visited the castle in Lewes, went to a beautiful park, watching the sun go down, going out to a club on the sea front, and eating chips on the way home.on Sunday just before we went to catch over trains home, we had orange squash with the ice cube teeth mould i got Claire for her birthday, explored her garden..WHICH IS GIANT. :)I had a wonderful time, and its nice to be home now. I got a couple of treasures with some money my grandparents gave me for graduating. they consist of the coolest plate i have EVER seen!! and a cute bird brooch, which i cannot stop wearing! :)
