life comes in fragments

update on the book; i have read many more chapters and now am well into the book. norah and nick kissed. she thought he was a really good kisser, and now is really starting to like him. however all nick can think of is his ex girlfriend he saw earlier that night. they get to talking and he ends up saying he will give norah and her very drunk friend a ride home. however his car "jessie" won't start. his band mates try to get his car started..while this is happening one of his band mates comes over to talk to norah and says something along the lines of; we like you, and we want you to take him out tonight, we hated his ex, please cheer him up. he gives norah $50. she then gets back in the car. nick's mates said they would take her friend home for her. then his guy comes up to norah's side of the car, and starts talking to her. its her ex, he asked her if they can pick up where they left off, she says no, he then says some really nasty things about her being heartless and says goodluck to nick and walks off.
they then start driving and nick and see norah is not very happy and says where should we go?? they end up going to this club with a pink door. norah knows the bouncer, as her dad works for a top record label, he lets them in. they both don't drink. norah thinks to herself, its so nice to go out with a guy that doesnt drink just to get wasted, he can have a good time without being drunk. they get to talking a bit more, and nick thinks that he is really starting to like norah...he likes the fact she knows a playboygirl bunny of a bouncer, he likes the fact she knows how to drive a stick, he likes how she kissed him, he likes the way she seems to get past the past, he likes how he can throw any kind of sentance at her without worrying it's too out there. they end up dancing, and he gives her his jacket to wear, they hold each other close, and then once the song is finished she says "nice" and pushes him away, and says i am going to the toilet.
and thats as far as i have got..i cant wait to read on.
today i again..looked in my room for my lost rings..and i found them....on the floor under my bed?!?! like why the hell would they be there?? i could understand if it was like one that had dropped and rolled under the bed..but three??? random indeed...and i still don't understand how they got there!! today has been odd...random kinda day.
also today i was surfing the web looking at random crap and found out that The Tracey Fragments is coming out on dvd very soon, it never came to cinemas in the uk, and i really wanna see it. if anyone has seen it, let me know what you thought. i will have to buy!! "Tracey Berkowitz, 15, a self-described normal girl, loses her 9-year old brother, Sonny. In flashbacks and fragments, we meet her overbearing parents and the sweet, clueless Sonny. We watch Tracey navigate high school, friendless, picked on and teased. She develops a thing for Billy Zero, a new student, imagining he's her boyfriend. We see the day she loses Sonny and we watch her try to find him. In bits and pieces, we see what leads up to her riding in the back of a city bus wrapped in a shower curtain."- IMDB it looks really powerful, and very well shot with the screen cutting up into different fragments.i also came across this wonderful picture of ellen from the movie an american crime...again its not going to be shown/or has been shown in the uk, i am in love with his picture...even though it also has a sadness to it, it really makes me want to go see it. the plot however does sound very sad and disturbing....."Based on a true story that shocked the nation in 1965, the film recounts one of the most shocking crimes ever committed against a single victim"- IMDB
hope everyone day a wondeful day :)

time does fly

wahooo, i got my book today, nick and norah's infinite playlist!! i have read the first chapter and i am already in love. as i have said before the book is about a guy who sees his ex girlfriend with a guy and he turns to this girl and asked her, "I know this is going to sound strange, but would you mind being my girlfriend for the next five minutes?"...fab start, can't wait to keep reading.
...hmmm...i seem to be missing a couple of my rings...but i really can't find them..and its so annoying!!!!!! i have looked all through my stuff...but still can't find them. don't you just hate it when you can't find something!!?!?! :)
i was sitting at my desk reading my book just looking at the little bits and bobs on my wall. because i have a room at uni, its got all my up to date bits and pieces, drawings, notes, pictures, random stuff on the walls. but when i look at these, they seem so old...and such a long time ago. i really don't know where the time has gone...

tea for one please

i have been drinking rather a lot of tea recently!! mum and dad keep bringing me cups of tea...and i can't say no..because i really do want to keep drinking it!! my friend drinks all the tea in the world!! she is never without a cup of tea in her hand...she makes very good tea. i think one day she will turn into the most prettiest cup of tea in the whole world.
went to see the dark knight last night; oh my goodness, i do not know what to say!! Heath Ledger as the Joker..wow! he was amazing, so funny yet scary. wonderful costume, i loved loved the part when he dressed up as a nurse. :)
the film was really good, however i did feel it went on for quite some time. it was really good how two-faced was introduced...although again it did take quite sometime. i don't think it should have been a 12A...because of all the knifes that were used in it, but i guess they needed it to be a 12A to get the kids to be able to go and see it. however over all, it was great and i was glued to my seat the whole time. favourite part?? at the start waiting for the joker to show his face.
i went to the cinema tonight again with friends, my friend picked me up. tonight we all went to see Angus, thongs and perfect snogging.....a bit different from the night before with the dark knight!! the film was sooo cute, and very sad as well. great british film and girly fun. i have not got to start work until 1 tomorrow, so it will be nice not to have to get up too early!! my sister is a trainee hairdresser, and is doing her college work in the hairdresser's where she works...she cut my hair the other day...however i think i need her to cut my fringe....its getting a tad too long...soo long i can't see where i am going. i ordered nick and noarh's infinite playlist and i got a phone call that it has been delivered to the book shop, so i cannot wait to go and collect it tomorrow!! :)

volume one; precious little life

yay!! today my book got delivered to the wonderful book shop!! volume one of Scott pilgrim. i have nearly finished it, and i love it so much. its about a guy who is 23, in a rock band, "between jobs" and dating acute high school girl. everything is fantastic until he meets and likes the new girl in town, Ramona Flowers, but to win her heart, he has to defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. its a really cool story and the illustrations are wonderful. i am now waiting to get paid, so i can purchase the volume two.today i wore my biscuit hair clip to work. i love it so much, people again were, "i love your clip, its so yummy!" it really does look like you could eat it!! a while ago i made a rich tea biscuit necklace, and lots of people really liked it...hmm maybe i should make more...with different types of biscuits :)

i am thinking of making some more felt friends...i made this cute little creature. i am trying to think of other little friends he could have...not sure..i think i will just try and see what i end up creating :)

creating something arty

today i was starting to think about what i will want to do with my life after uni. i would love to move away to London maybe, or stay in Nottingham (where i go to uni at the moment), i have this silly idea that i really want to rent with friends, and care on with something arty....hmmm...i am doing a fine art degree...and i am not sure what to do with it....do i 1) become an artist??? or 2) do something in the artistic friend....i know it sounds kinda silly but i always wanted to work for Disney, or something in the animation field. ah i am not sure at the moment.....
anyway, today while i was thinking about my work, my dad said something about you need to move your old portfolio from the spare room to your room. i went to to move it, and ended up looking at the work that i showed to get into uni....wow, it seems like such a long time ago...i have not really done much drawing recently..which makes me sad..but when i looked at my old drawings, i felt so happy and wanted to draw again...these are some sections of them...i know they look kinda scary, but its what i was doing about 3 years ago!!!
my friend got back from Paris today, i am am really looking forward to seeing her!!! most of my friends from work are going to see Batman on Sunday, which i am really really looking forward to seeing!! i cannot wait!!today i spent a lot of time with my dad as mum and sister were at work...he started telling me about all his cactus's...i nearly feel asleep :)
