play me a little song

it was my sister's birthday yesterday. she had to get me out of bed so she could open her presents...i was still tired from these night shifts..i hope my body goes back to normal soon. she loved all her random gifts, and loved her t-shirt so much.
after she opened her presents we then we went to Canterbury for lunch, and maybe a little look around some shops. ah..Lego. my love. i am wanting a giant stars wars set..but that's gonna cost like £80ish...no money for Lego like that. after lunch, and a quick look around some shops, a SUPER WONDERFUL ice cream, we then nipped into this guitar shop my dad wanted to go in. he wanted another guitar to add to his collection, and he saw the one he wanted in the window..we went in and sat in the store while he played. my dad is pretty awesome. he used to be in a band when he was younger, just for fun and gigs around where he lived. i always think that its awesome. he doesn't think so. anyway, after long chats with the guy who owned the shop, and many many songs later, he got it. so i know have this really loud guitar waking me up in the morning. lovely. its not all bad..he plays songs i love.

good morning...and hello

so when i got in at 7.10 this morning, the sky was kinda awesome. i really couldn't sleep after a long night of working..night shifts..they are the best. you are so tired when you are at work, but as soon as you get home, you can't sleep. so when i got in i watched the office and wrapped my sister's birthday presents, while drinking lemonade. i hope she likes all her random gifts. i asked her what she wanted, and she replied, 'random please'. she likes my odd and random present giving.

me in the corner

so life at the moment consists of work. i have been doing crazy shifts at work, and working until 12 at night moving the store around getting ready for the new season. its really interesting, and i have been having a go at vm stuff, and learning lots and lots. i am really enjoying it. apart from work, my spare time has consisted of making mix cds. my lovely friend charlotte has got me into making them, i am also having a go at making cases and cover art, so that's what i have been doing in my spare time. making a mix cd is really hard, the songs need to fit together just right to work. other than that, i have been getting ready for my sister's birthday, which is today. present buying and decorating the house for her bbq today. hopefully the sun will come out to play, and we can all have a drink in the garden in the sun.

Arj barker was one of the support acts..aka Dave. and oh my goodness he is so funny, just by shouting he can make you laugh. he is touring and i wouldn't mind seeing him again.me and Victoria went shopping during the day, and it was such a lovely sunny, hot day! we got lots of lovely goodies, and spotted a few elephants around London, i wanted to find more but we just ran out of time.i got the most beautiful bag from topshop, i am in love, like really really in love. i also got the satchel that i wanted from urban outfitters, and a bowl---that i fell in love with after seeing it on lina's blog, and then other stuff included a couple of tops, some fairy light tape, a heart necklace, napoleon dynamite face mask---just cos, and my fotc merch---a baseball world tour shirt, a tea towel and set of badges...awesome.

Merry Christmas!! i hope you all had a lovely time. i got some beautiful camera's before Christmas, so lots of photos were taken, and i cannot wait to get them developed.at Christmas lunch, i rather liked being max from where the wild things are----well i felt like him with my crown. i am going to see it on Tuesday with J. it looks amazing, i have already seen a really cool puzzle book i want from the movie. i love Christmas because i always get to spend time with my sister, who always seems to be mega busy all the time...fun and laughs were had. PLUS-----its not Christmas without the Doctor Who Christmas Special, which was amazing...a little sad because you know the 10th doctor's time is drawing to a close, but exciting all the same.
i got some wonderful Christmas presents, i got a Polaroid printer from my sister---which i can't stop using at the moment!!!he he. i got a fab suitcase handbag and a 'Nicola' name necklace from my nan and gdad. and i got some amazing DVDs and books, and my office bobble heads from my parents.
the coolest presents i got this year, have to be from my bestest friends in the whole planet---Charlotte and Mandy. from Charlotte i got the coolest salt, pepper, mustard and ketchup--picnic set!----its supper duper cute! and a ultra cool popcorn cup and a cute headband--which i love, because of the bird-ness...if that's even a word.aha. Mandy got me two cute tatty devine bird rings, a rather odd bird decoration, a lovely photo frame--(which will be filled with an amazing photo from our latest adventure)-----AND, some rather twilight rice decorations for the tops of cup cakes!!!!!!!!!!-------i cannot wait to make cakes and put them on the top!

rain

so it rained all day today...and didn't stop. ah normally i like the rain, but for some reason it put me in a bad mood, and made me unhappy. i have been cold all day. and have not stopped drinking hot tea. my sister came back last night, i was super happy to see her. She got me some lovely gifts. She got me a snow globe for my "collection"..(if you can call it that..haha i only have a few). I don't know what it is, i find them really tacky, but i think that's why I like them..its become a 'thing' now to collect them. She also got me an ultra cool clock! and some cute hello kitty biscuits and a chocolate umbrella! :)

your views on ringo starr?

so went out with my sister on her day off on Wednesday. which was really nice. she is always so busy..i never really get to send much time with her..which is rubbish. we had these cool milkshakes...however my sister decided it would be more fun to spill hers all over the floor...i couldn't stop laughing.
she brought an amazing skirt! its so beautiful, i wish i could show you. i got a few little bits and bobs.on Thursday i went out with my friend Sarah. it was really nice. we got to go to comic book shops, and other geeky stuff like that. :) i got myself a star wars comic, and a second hand book from oxfam. i got are you Dave gorman? which is about Dave gorman and Danny Wallace, who go on this crazy trip to see how many people they can find with the same name as Dave gorman..haha. i have only read a few pages, but i can't stop laughing already!this morning i got up and was very very excited! i was going to see (500) days of summer today!!! eek. while i waited to be picked up, i sat outside. it was quite windy..but also really warm. oh the film was simply beautiful. it made me feel happy, sad, angry, upset. and also alone. but it was wonderful. my favourite part of the movie was the 2 screen parts. for example at the beginning when she was blowing a dandelion and he was catching bubbles. but also the expectations and reality part. i left the cinema feeling happy but also a little sad.
ps, i love Ringo Starr.
i got given these BEAUTIFUL awards from the lovely lovely Tic-Tac-Tomato. thank you very much Sophia!!! :)
ok, so I'm supposed to list 7 things about myself...hmm i have done quite alot of these recently. erm...go here goes.
1. I collect magazines.
2. I hate strawberries.
3. I love headphones..they can keep your wonderful music, just for your ears only. and people can only here little bits, and they just have to wonder what goes on in your head, and never know.
4. When i walk into a comic book shop, i feel at home.
5. 5 is my lucky number...mainly because when i was little it was my dads..and i believed it was mine too.
6. Currently watching Ashes to Ashes because i am currently obsessed with Stephen Campbell Moore...again.
7. I love bread.
i would now like to pass both of these awards on to;
honey bees and cherry trees
