red red red...

hello all! still getting on with my work..looking, reading, making birds for my art. i had a wonderful Friday night celebrating comic relief, or red nose day. its an amazing event to raise money. comics and other famous people get together to raise money for charity, and you can too. i got this years red nose day t-shirt, with the Beatles on, designed by Stella McCartney. i love it very so. lots of red bits and pieces were had on Friday.i got the most amazing bat necklace ever!! i got it the other day, i am in love with it so much..i keep wearing it. :) now that i am back from Rome, i am trying to get back to normal life. although i long for late nights, wonderful wine, beautiful food, and amazing views. but i guess life goes on!! :) my labbit got some amazing gifts from rome.i treated myself to two new pairs of converse...i am in love. my other ones were falling to pieces, so i had to get more.ah i also went to see Watchmen the other day, and it was amaing!! and i also went to see garden state at the cinema like i said in a post before! it was wonderful, people were laughing and it was shown in a small screen...oh it was great. i am still smiling!!! :D

i heart rome.

i heart rome.

i had the most beautiful time, full of laughs, good food, amazing ice creams and friends i will love forever. i got up nice and early on monday morning to meet friends to catch the skylink bus to the airport. the flight was fun, and full of laughs. plus i was still reading yes man- by danny wallace. he was making me laugh. when we got to rome, it took us about 45 mins to get to the hotel. i shared with 3 other lovely people. our room was cute.

after we had un-packed and sorted our room out we went to the colloseum. it was breathtaking, simply stunning!!! i know it sounds a bit geeky, but all i could think of was the movie jumper!! jamie bell...eek!! :)

during my few days in rome, i had so much fun. i don't think i have laughed so much in such a long time. it was great to hang out with old friends. the food was wonderful, the sights were breathtaking, the buildings were grand and the art was amazing.

i did find a really beautiful church. on the railings outside the church was hundreds of padlocks. all these padlocks had peoples names on them. couples names. i thought it must be all the people they may have gotten married in the church, or visitors may have put them there. it was amazing.i said that i would have an ice cream diary, and i had 4 amazing ice creams, but quite a few flavours, these included cookie dough/biscuit, white ice cream with dark chocolate pieces, coconut, mint (which was very very strong), vanilla lemon, fudge with chocolate pieces, and another version of coconut and mint...with cream! :)the ceilings and building were beautiful in rome. every church or building held something wonderful. one building i loved was the Pantheon. the Pantheon does not have a roof, so the rain, light, dark and come in. its amazing to look up so high.

other places i enjoyed visiting were the Vatican, the Sistine chapel, and St.Peters.

apart from the ceiling i loved the floors in all these beautiful buildings. tiles, mosaics, patterns.fun was had. however i am glad to be back..i missed silly English things like tea, reading the paper, and watching telly. :)

why didn't the skeleton go to the new year's eve party?

merry christmas, everyone! :)
i hope you all had a beautiful time at christmas! fun was had in my house. on christmas eve i watched lots of different panto on telly and made cookies with my sister. then i woke up early christmas morning and opened a big stocking left from santa, with lots of goodies. then got dressed and went downstairs and opened presents from my sister and gave presents to my mum and dad. then waited for my nan and grandad to come round. we had lunch while listening to top of the pops at christmas. after lunch we got to open all our presents, and i got some wonderful gifts. one of my amazing presents was my labbit!! i have been looking for one of these for about 2 years!! and i got one for christmas. he is so cute! i have no ideas for a name yet...but he did enjoy my cookies!after a long night of food, doctor who telly special, family, party hats, gifts, board games, chocolate and other fun it was time to go to sleep. when i woke up in the morning it was fun to relax and hang out with my family. then later on in the day we went to my nan and grandad's for boxing day. we had a wonderful dinner and more presents!very odd presents were given to me...and i love it!! haha.

for christmas i got breaking dawn...at last! i have had no money to buy the last book in ages ages ages, and was looking forward to christmas so much, so i could finally read the book!!! i have just started 'book two' in breaking dawn- jacob. i am glad to be reading this book at last!! :)
