MARVELING AT THE SUN THE SKY THE TREES THE WORLD PART TWO

 This is part two of the beautiful skies posts :)
These photos are of sunrises and ugghh I don't know about you

but I'm seriously in love with the candy floss skies, those gorgeous

baby pinks and lilac tones oooooh beautiful!

(And the fiery skies at the end.... my my ;)

Let the sun shine Labrinth, let the sun shine indeed

:)

MARVELING AT THE SUN THE SKY THE TREES THE WORLD PART ONE

Over the last few months I've seen some truly beautiful

sunsets and I've been snap snap snapping away

in an attempt to capture their grandeur and marvelous-ness

to some avail.

But no matter how hard you try, or how fancy your camera,

I don't think you can ever truly capture the beauty through a lens.

The only lens that does these sights justice

is the one sitting firmly in your eye, through which

you first see these sights before you.

So take a peek & see what you think :) 

A MUCH NEEDED UGLY CHRISTMAS JUMPER PARTY

Hello everybody and festive greetings!

I'm writing to you today from a rather beautiful England,

minus the snow, as you'd expect.

I've been so busy this last week it's actually kind

of crazy, seeing as I'm not a person with whom you would associate

the word 'busy'.

When I find myself saying those sacred words 'I'm busy',

I must admit I widen my eyes in surprise that I, me, could

actually occupy that state of being

(man you can tell I take Eng Lit just by reading that last paragraph haha ^_^).

So, I hear you ask, what have I been doing then? Well since

last Wednesday I have.....

-Watched a college production of the Queen-tastic

WE WILL ROCK YOU WOOOOOH ROCK RULES!

-Had three university interviews, so I've been up to Newcastle,

Manchester and Sheffield, rockin' about in my black heels

feeling oh so very sophisticated despite also feeling

like I might collapse on the floor be-riddled with nerves.

-Made a friend on the train to Newcastle and we happen to know the

same people, and we shared some jelly snakes at her insistence.

She wouldn't take any of the grapes I offered in return though,

sad face :(

-Been working as a waitress (yes I can't believe it either) at some fabulous Chrimbo parties, dishing out food galore, nibbling on fudge, pannacotta, strawberries et al all whilst bashing out the groovy dance

moves as I go. So far I haven't dropped any plates 

(good girl right here) and I've handed out canapes too

BECAUSE I'M SO MATURE THESE DAYS.

AAHHHHHHHH.

-I literally just finished reading the amazing Harry Potter & The Order

of The Phoenix this morning, all 700 pages of it, having been glued to it

for a good part of a week and a half. 

I've taken it everywhere with me because it's just so addictive,

and it's a good job I've finished college now, because

this dilemma kept popping up:

what do I want to know more; do woodlice have a preference

for the light or dark, or how are Harry & co. getting on at

Hogwarts right at this very moment in time?

I think we all know the answer.

Woodlice.

But I can't find my copy of the Half Blood Prince anywhere so now

I'm stressing majorly *fans face and pouts dramatically*

-I had to do TWO TESTS IN THE SAME DAY and to top it all off

I'm sure I did crap so I was also majorly stressing out then as well,

and then on the bus home I couldn't stop laughing and

all this weirdness started pouring out of me and it culminated

with an intense discussion about the solar system and lemon slices.

This is what college does to you.

So I think you can agree that the perfect remedy

to all this madness was of course, 

AN UGLY CHRISTMAS JUMPER PARTY

and the photo you can see at the top of the page is my friends and

I having a proper naff moment posing in front of the christmas

tree in our awesome christmas jumpers.

(I'm second from the left and my jumper had a particularly groovy

christmas pud emblazoned on it, complete with 3D cherries)

And trust me, we had a ruddy awesome time.

We ordered chinese, we ate cocktail sausages and spring rolls,

some of my friends downed two bottles of rose (naughty naughty!) whilst some of us stuck to

juice & coke. We ate chocolate fudge cake, we watched

Love Actually (so cute!), laughed a  hell of a lot,

had a nice big girly chat and just let our hair down

and went ape shit crazy 

( but not too crazy- it was after all

a Wednesday)

And now I'm feeling all ready for Christmas, well kind of.

I'm going to whack on a film tomorrow night and snuggle up nice

and cosy, and what's double plus good, is

that the Harry Potter films are on ITV this week,

so all is good in the world now.

All is fabulous.

All is well.

All is good.

DREAMING OF A WINTER WONDERLAND WHILST SAT IN BIOLOGY

Right now I am reveling in the essence

of rebellion.

I feel like James Bond undercover, Bender in The Breakfast

Club doing whatever the hell I want, because ladies and gentlemen,

I am writing to you right now,

FROM MY BIOLOGY CLASS.

Ooooooohhh, NAUGHTY.

I'm supposed to be learning about species variation

but instead I'm writing this.

And right now, instead of dreaming about different

ways a cow mutates, I'm dreaming of a

WINTER WONDERLAND.

*cue the fairy lights and snowflakes and swirls

as we are transported to this magical, far away land only

heard of in myths and legends...*

 

 

Right, I think that's got it out of my system.

As of today my lovelies,
Chrimbo is exactly 12 days away (:
Exciting times!

In England, however, we've seen no sign
of snow (typical). Is there any snow where you are in the world?

A RETRO LOVE AFFAIR

Wasssssup homies?! 

*inset complex, bad ass hand gestures and a

swing of a glistening gold chain*

It's yo' home girl here. 

I'm in the mood to post some pretty photos

that I found on tumblr of retro things, because quite simply

I just love retro things, and I want you too

look at them and rave with me too about just how cool

and awesome and groovy retro is.

I can be a bit of a nostalgia lover at times,

and I get these cravings to wind back the decades and live,

if only for a day, in each one.

Maybe it's because in this day and age 

what defines us is not really that desirable or cool

or quirky or interesting, and we're so rich in diversity anyway that

it's kind of impossible to find a specific stereotype to define

this decade and the last one.

So here's to retro and all things cool and nostalgic

and funky dunky monkey.

I know you're probably like woaaaaaah dayum girl 

HOW MANY PHOTOS?!?!?!?

But trust me- I could easily go on ;)
