Currently smiling

The weather has been up and down recently. One minute I am in need of my winter coat due to the wind and rain, next the sun it shining, and I need my cute dresses. Getting lots of post recently from far away friends. This makes me smile a lot.

Missing glastonbury this year. I am really sad it's not on this year...I miss it so much. Fingers crossed for next year.

Working crazy like normal, but totally looking forward to this time next week. A weekend away in London is what I need. I have been trying to be rather creative at the moment due to a very close friend helping me out. Plus my blog needs an update. I am rather bored now...although I say this with no ideas in how to change it at all. Exciting.

Old friends coming home for the summer has made me smile a lot. Lots of old memories and stories being re-told. I love this time of year.

It's just a little thing called time

So, I am really bad at this blogging thing at the moment, and to be honest I haven't been that busy. Well, I have done a few bits and pieces over the last few weeks. Main things that I can think of would be going to the seaside with my friend Ella to see Keane. Oh they were perfect. And we were so close too, I could nearly touch Tom. Tried...it didn't work. It was wonderful to see them again, and singing along. Once the gig was over, on the drive back home, me and Ella just sang out hearts and lungs out to their songs, such a wonderful night.

Other than that I went to london with my best buddy Sarah. It was a comic book hunting day really. We also ended up going on new comic book day, so lots more comics were brought. All I seem to be spending my money on at the moment would be comics and food.

Also super saving nearly every penny for my trip to America, for the blogger family meet up, and staying with Lina. Which is coming around quite fast. Plus LFCC in a few weeks, cannot wait to be surrounded by so many of my friends and meeting famous faces.

Plus, Rogue Events have announced they will be doing a Big Bang Theory convention next year, totally going to that...plus a Doctor who convention in Nov had been announced by Starfury, and billie is going...really need to be able to make that!

In other news, my room is actually tidy for once. I am rather proud. Also, mega in love with my new t-shirt that came in the post today.

Not yet

Today has consisted of planning for my trip, watching Thor, and hanging out with my family. Having a Sunday off is a really weird feeling. I have decided that I really don't like Sunday...it annoys me.

Planning everything I will need for my trip to America, which includes visa stuff, travel insurance, gifts, getting dollars, and lots of other stuff on my giant check list.

Plus watching Thor again. Gah, I love Loki so much it hurts. So mis-understood.

And then looking forward to a lovely roast dinner with the family and a few episodes of the big bang theory. I love that my parents love the show now.

Now I need to wrap Dad's birthday presents while watching Thor...then sleep. I really need some sleep.

the waiting

I am currently sitting in the car. Mum has just nipped into the gardening centre to buy some bits and pieces. Jason mrzas is currently playing on the radio. The sun is super shinning. I am wearing my uniform, and all I wanna do is go home and get changed. Currently hoping I don't have a headache coming on as I am going to the cinema later. Seeing the avengers...for the 2nd time. It's brilliant. Such a perfect movie. Oh now JLS are on the radio. Anyway, the avengers...mostly wanting to see it again for Tom Hiddleson. Too much love for Loki.

Oh thats so funny. I wrote that last week, and forgot about it. It's funny reading that again...I guess that's the same with my whole blog.

Anyway, life has been confusing recently. I have been questioning everything at the moment..and lots needs to change.

Currently I am just focusing on July. I need it to be July already. I can't wait to go to a convention, meet friends and have so much nerdy fun.

And, my trip. I cannot wait to get on that plane and fly away. I can't wait to meet Lina. I can't wait to have lots of adventures. I can't wait to meet the blogger family. I can't wait to meet my friends for the first time.

So excited.

Gah.

Blogger family questions

Ok, these are the questions my lovely blogger family members asked me.

Tell me of a time you felt you were exactly where you were supposed to be?

When I was at Glastonbury 2010. I was on the hill with my friends listening to Muse play on the pyramid stage. Dancing in candle light, and the light from the stage. Singing and dancing, and I knew that's exactly where I was supposed to be.

If you could only recommend one book to the world, what would it be and why?

um, I think it would be Yes Man by Danny Wallace. Its the kinda book that makes you think to yourself, what am I doing with my life? I am I just sailing through, and not really doing anything interesting? The book is not anything really like the movie, apart from the action of saying yes to things, plus its set in England. Danny is just a wonderful person, and to read his antics is such a joy. It just makes you think about life alot, and what you are doing.

What movie always makes you cry?

I think that would be Milk. Its the scene where Harvey gets shot. I remember watching that movie in the cinema, I think I was in there by myself, it was an early showing, and I just remember crying out loud. Looking back, I am glad no one was around to see me cry. Other than that, every time I am watching any Harry Potter movie I seem to cry.

What is your ideal career?

Well, anything arty would be a start. Life just seems to be stuck at the moment on the job front. To be perfectly honest I have never really known what I wanted to do for a career. I always loved art, and that was that. Although, working with celebrates would be rather interesting...or working in a comic book shop.

What do you think of when you hear 'America'?

ADVENTURE. BEAUTIFUL. EXCITING.

What is your favourite stereotypical British phase or saying?

I like the word 'bloody'. But other than that I love saying 'bitter', as in 'oh, its bitter outside today'.

Why do guys that play stringed instruments have nice hands?

Well, its because they need to take care of their hands. Plus they need to make sure they have nails. Seth Green has perfect hands.

What would you do if a duck clucked?

I would probably laugh and then run away. As birds creep me out, and I mean if this duck can cluck, whats it gonna do next!??

Boxers or briefs?

Boxers.

How does one make curly fries?

I have no idea. EDIT* I googled, you use an apple peeler to make the fries, and then fry them.

What does 'tea time' mean?

Well, some times for me it means dinner is ready. Like we would say 'tea is ready'--when we mean dinner.

Do you like Nutella?

Yes, I think I do. I used to like it as a kid, but wasn't allowed too much of it. My friend CJ randomly gave me some little packets of it the other day.

What was the funniest thing that happened while I (Lina) was visiting you in England?

I think the funniest thing was when Lina was unpacking, and she was showing/telling me what she had brought with her. She said I only brought 2 pairs of pants. I stopped and looked at her, then remembered she called trousers pants. Whereas we call underwear pants. We both laughed, a lot.
