totally awesome

so Christmas.

Christmas was nice. however, i feel that i have lost that Christmas feeling. don't get me wrong, i had an amazing time, laughed lots with family, got such super gifts, eat lots, watched Christmas telly...just don't have that excited nature anymore. i guess that's what happens when you grow up. i spent Christmas day with mum, dad, my sister Victoria, and nan and gdad. it was very chilled out. mum did an amazing job with lunch. best dinner ever. i got so many wonderful gifts from family and friends. my favourites included Neville's wand, harry potter Lego, a giant Tim Burton book, a giant harry potter behind the scenes book, and doctor who series 6 on DVD.

watched doctor who at 7pm on Christmas day. i waited all day for it, and to be honest....i was a little disappointed. part of me really wants to like it, just because we have to wait such a long time for it. i can see why people loved it, and things were good about it, but it didn't feel right. that's just my view of course. well to be honest, i think the problem was i was just waiting for Amy and Rory to be in it. the last 5mins very perfect. i cant believe the ponds are leaving...however i am really really looking forward to finding out who the next companion will be.
work had been stressful recently. but all i am thinking about is how i have two weeks off soon...that's keeping me going. i cant believe Lina will be here soon, it doesn't seem real. mega excited. its funny, because i forget for a sec, and then someone will say, 'so when is your friend getting here?' and i stop and thinking, 'oh my goodness! not long!'.

other news, my best friend got engaged, i met my other best friend's new boyfriend---who in fact is a giant...no really he is...no lie, started planning birthday bits and pieces for my other other best friend, seriously started tidying my room and getting rid of things---new year and all that, watched nearly all the episodes of the big bang theory and how i met your mother for Christmas, watched all the harry potter movies again, got really annoyed with stupid friends, got a message from a really old friend, cried watching the 50 greatest harry potter moments, and got post from Maggie today...and its new year's eve tomorrow. staying in drinking lemonade and playing board games i think. i am so freaking cool.

in the woods

i stole this ring from my friend...i say stole..more just said, "oh, that's awesome, can i have that?" for him to turn around and say "...um, yeah...if you want."

so just got back from my little woodland week away with my family. it was really nice as i went with my parents, grandparents and sister. it was god to escape for a while, just to be somewhere else. living within the trees always makes me think of twilight...and mainly because i first read the twilight series years ago on holiday in the same place.as well as chilling out, i had lots of random adventures. these included, going swimming, going to walks, playing cards and board games..and other cute things. mum, Victoria and me went to paint pieces of pottery again this year. i was thinking of doing another plate, but i walked in, and there on the shelf was a dalek staring back at me...needless to say i grabbed that.we also went to Longleat. i have not been there in a few years, but i was really looking forward to this little adventure. Longleat is such a wonderful place.we walked through and looked at lots of cute animals including meerkats (which my grandad loves, so he had a great time). i also held this:...its crazy, but i didn't feel scared at all. weird. i thought i would want to run away screaming...so if i spider appears in my room one night, i don't think i will be scared anymore after holding this one. we also went around the house, which as always was beautiful and made me want to live there, even though there are ghosts. we also ran into Lord Bath as he was taking his dogs out or in, and he said hello to us..that was pretty cool. i also went on a little tour to look at his murals, which were beautiful and gave you an insight to Lord Bath and his art. the whole place is just beautiful. the sun also came out that day for us. the rest of the holiday was spent laughing lots, drawing, taking photos, listening to my sister say the weirdest things in her sleep, playing lots of games of cards, drinking so much tea, eating so many sweets, watching glee while my family laugh at me for singing and squealing, watching tv late, all staying up until 3ish in the morning, talking to far away friends about up and coming plans next week, buying gifts for friends and just being me. its nice. i had such fun.

kinda awesome

so my night shifts have finished. which, i am really happy about. and we did get a few good words from our boss, which was really nice. although, i am so tired now...and getting back to normal sleeping pattern is going to be hard.

went to Brighton yesterday with mum, dad, and Victoria. the weather was a little sunny..but also a little rainy. went on the train, we went for lunch, went shopping down the lanes into all the little cute shops, and went in the indoor market and looked in the cabinets at all the treasures.i got the most amazing ring. i am in love with it. i was looking in the indoor market, and i saw these cute little rings in one cabinet, and one was a chewbacca one!!! and it fit! so getting the train back was eventful. we were on the train, and a cow had got on the tracks. we then had to get out at a different station and wait for this bus to pick us up. so there are loads of us waiting in the rain for this bus to show up, which it never does! after a very very long wait, the trains were running again. even though all of that happened, i still had such a lovely day.

one brick

so today i was woke up by my sister moaning at my dad about when we were going to leave...and there is me still in bed...oops. we went to bluewater today. my sister wanted to have a look around for birthday ideas, and i needed to get her a present. it was really nice to all spend some time together, its not often we are all together. we went for lunch, then looked around the shops, we spilt up as i needed to find my sister gifts, and then later came back together for coffee and a chat. so i did end up in the Lego shop today...ended up buying 3 crazy little make-your-own Lego figures and some more harry potter Lego..i cannot help myself...Lego rules. oh i also ended up joining this Lego group thingy...yes i am a total nerd.

i did get Victoria a Hollister shirt and some other little random bits and pieces. i brought myself some stationary, the cute bird paper clips, and submarine on DVD..which i am now off to watch.

tick...tick

well, i am hopefully getting my adventure very soon. well to honest, i think i am getting a few! planning to meet up with my friends from uni very soon, which i am super happy about. its hard for us all to get together as we all live in different places, and have different jobs, but we have manged to set a date.

i am going on my woodland holiday with my family tomorrow, which is going to be really nice. i cannot wait to just escape for a little bit, have some time off work, chill out, and just have fun. i am looking forward to my holiday because i get to draw, swim, go on lovely walks, take photos, watch movies with my family, visit different places...eee, i cannot wait.

other than that, i have not really been up to much other than working...which is fine because i enjoy work, but on the other hand it isn't. my dad brought me a couple of old Sherlock Holmes books, which i have started to read. i love the way the books are written. for some reason i have gotten back into playing my really old Pokemon games, which is kinda awesome. i have just been reading lots and lots of magazines. oh and i have been getting my atc's ready for an exhibition. when i get back from holiday, i am a fun filled trip planned with my lovely friend---which i cannot wait for! plus extra night shifts, a trip to see my friend perform at a comedy club, and re-watching glee.

the start

the other day i went for a trip of great importance.
i am going away for a few days, which should be really nice. i need to get away for a bit. clear my head and stuff. i am starting a drawing journal..so i can try and get my head out onto paper...hopefully it will work.

the bells are ringing...and i am singing

over the past few days, life has been quite fun filled. went out with mum and dad on Friday, which was really nice. i found a wonderful tea pot, a little like one i have seen before. after we got back we went over to help my auntie and my cousins set up for my cousins wedding. lots of laughs and fun was had. sorting out the flowers and the village hall, with the tables, and decorations. my cousins wedding was on Saturday. i had such a lovely time. oh it was beautiful. they lit a candle for my uncle, (my cousins dad) in the church, oh i have never felt anything like that before...i can't put it in to words. the service was lovely. listening to church bells is one of those great feelings..its hard to explain. these photos sum up the day;well i have been tagged by some lovely lovely lovely blogs!!! :D i was tagged by ultra cool claire eloise for the 'honest scrap' blog award, whereby you share 10 true things no one else knows, then tag ten other bloggers.
