Oh The Horror

Hey! 

So here's a little fact that you may or may not know about me, It's quite an impressive yet utterly useless hidden talent I possess. Once I have seen your face, or a face I generally don't tend to forget it... Now I realise this doesn't sound too impressive, however when watching a film or television show if I have seen someone before not only do I recognise them but I can usually tell you exactly where I have seen them before. 

Hmmm, It's not sounding as impressive written down. Just ask my friends though it's pretty weird! 

But not as weird as this photo where the man looks like a thumb.

Moving on, I was watching The Hunger Games Dvd the other night (see previous post if you don't know how much I love it.) Post on Hunger Games! (just click me) and I reconised one of the minor characters Clove.

She plays Clove the tribute from District two, just in case you were wondering! So I was trying to recall where I had seen this girl and was finding it more difficult than normal... Until slowly my brain started to piece it all together and I could feel the slow cold creep of horror crawling up my back.... 

She's from the Orphan!...

Uurrrggghhhhhhh

My heart is dying a bit even at the fact I just looked up this photo and now it's on my blog, Is she looking at me? I feel like she's looking at me. 

Sometimes when i'm really freaking myself out when I am trying to go to sleep in a dark room this is what I think about.

Neither do I after this blog...

The above picture of the boy is from the Ring, I seriously cannot put a photo of that girl on here or I will never sleep again. Another thought though this kid has played two really bad ass roles in  films so if you see her out and about be fricking careful!  I don't want to write anything else on here because there are too many photos of scary children. 

Cuuuuuuttteee

Sleep well, I know I won't. 

Love, me. 

Winter isn't all bad!

I'm just going to come out and say it. 

I LOVE WINTER 

There, I've said it! As much as I do love the summer because it generally means getting to hang out with friends while it's still light late into the evening and weekends at the beach, or sunbathing in the park... Oh no wait, we live in England and it just rains ALL SUMMER LONG. 

Expectation of summer:

Reality:

Also I think that a little bit of me still connects summer with being off on holiday from school or University which when I didn't have a job meant endless summer weeks of adventures and fun. When really going to work from 9-5 Monday to Friday and only feeling the sunshine (if it isn't raining) on your 30 minute lunch break.

So that was all a bit negative... here's the reasons I love winter! 

1) Christmas! Duh, Amazing!

2) Hats, I fricking love hats.

3) Gloves 

4) Scarves

5) You don't have to feel bad about staying indoors

6) You don't get sunburn within 3 minutes of leaving the house! You can just walk around outdoors NOT getting burnt! 

7) TV always gets more dramatic towards Christmas

8) Hoodies 

9) Wellies! 

10) Winter food is just tasty. 

11) Mulled Wine 

12) It's darker for longer! I like night time... When i'm not busy thinking about scary things creeping around the house. 

13) Snow, I do hate it when said snow turns to a sheet of ice. Still love how pretty everything is though!

14) Christmas Markets 

15) Cosy Pubs 

16) The absence of those scary girls who wear the shorts that let there arse hang out... you know the ones. 

17) When you wake up in winter and the weather is rubbish you can think, oh well it is winter. Unlike the despair you feel when you wake up and it's been raining all week... in august. 

18) Same goes for sunshine in winter. Sunny cold days are the absolute best. 

19) Starbucks Gingerbread Lattes 

20) Bonfire night

21) Giant slipper socks

22) Trips to visit friends in different cities. Liverpool is awesome in the winter.

That's 22 reasons not to get depressed because winter is nearly here! 

Anyway guys hope your week is going splendidly, I need to go and get ready to meet the lovely Kim for coffee and a catch up. Kim you are now blog famous.

Mondays are not fun days

Guys I need to share something with you today...

It's Monday and I am crashing really hard after an alcohol fulled weekend. I probably had a few too many glasses of wine last night so all throughout today I have been suffering with the blues. You know the kind that make you feel like you will never have another drink as long as you live? Yeah. 

Then I realised things could be so, so much worse...

Source: Jokeroo.com

One day I really will give up drinking and i'm sure my life will be much healthier, I don't see it happening for a good while though. Drunken stories are just too much fun... 

Like dressing up as a pirate for Halloween, dancing on a wall and falling off... onto your face. 

Before 

After 

The injury is just below my eye... Could have been worse!

Anyway all my recent blogs seem to be about alcohol so let me move swiftly on to tell you guys that I was hanging up some clothes in my wardrobe (for weeks I have just been draping things over the rail). For a while now I have been thinking I only owned about three or maybe four pairs of jeans... I decided to split my wardrobe to tops and jumpers on the top rail and trousers on the bottom and here are the results. 

So many trousers I forgot I had!

My wardrobe felt like Narnia, I just kept reaching in and pulling out things I had completely forgotten about!

At one point even Mr Tumnus made an appearance...

But sadly I had to send him back through... Who am I kidding we all know if I had met Mr Tumnus we would have been friends forever!!

Also I thought i'd show you the top part... 

So that has pretty much been my Monday guys! Oh except when I pinned my dog upside down and took this photo.

Hiya!

Throughout this whole post my eye has been burning due to me rubbing perfume in it about half an hour ago. Perfect.

I really want to redesign this blog but the thought of doing that is giving me anxiety. I think that might be a job for tomorrow, or never. 

So thanks for tuning in to today's episode, you can also find me over on

Love you all SO much 

Love, me.

This has all been a bit photo heavy but let me get back into it and i'll tell you some funny stories soon.

Shall we have a beer then?

I love yous all don't I! 

Love, me. 

Nostalgic

This evening I was watching Florence and the Machine at this years Hackney Weekend, she played 'You've Got The Love'...

You know when a song just takes you back to a moment in time, where the memory is so strong it kind of just takes over your brain for a minute. This song, well, the original version reminds me of finishing my first year of university, It reminds me of going back to halls after my final exam and drinking and dancing like a fool in order to avoid having to pack up my room. It also reminds me of the realisation that I had actually managed to do something that terrified me. I had successfully moved away from home to a strange city, made friends and loved it. 

For months and months before moving away me and my best friend literally avoided talking about moving away to uni because of the sheer terror we both felt at the prospect of it. Any time someone tried to talk about it they were met with...

alltheragefaces.com

There are so many amazing memories from that first year away from home, hopefully I will share them on here... eventually. One of my favorites that is coming really soon is about the time I have been the most scared in my entire life. Even now it makes me smile and feel a little bit terrified all at the same time.  

I wish I had a photo of us partying in halls to show you guys but it was before the time of Facebook and Myspace and I just am too lazy to look one out. 

But don't think that means I don't love you guys loads! 

Because I do! 

Sorry this wasn't a funny/ embarrassing story... More of those are coming soon. 

Love you, 

Love Me. 

DIY... ?

Heeeey. 

Let me start this off by telling you that I am an expert at DIY. Let me also tell you that I am lying. I like to make things that are really easy to put together, if it requires a hammer I am immediately put off because that means I can ruin it. I managed to assemble an entire desk from Ikea single-handedly.

Ok it's a different colour to the one in the photo, but i'm lazy mmkay. 

I also pretty much put a bookcase together... But I needed help with the hammering part and also the part where you have to fix it to the wall.

Anyway back in my student days... 

Fatarmfatarmfatarm.

I lived in a house, that was a little bit scabby but fairly nice for a student house and in my room was the comfiest armchair you have ever sat in. The only problem being that when I had to write an essay I was sooo sleepy... 

Source: openwalls.com

So being the studious person I was I went out to buy myself a bargain desk chair from Argos. I selected a friend to come help me carry it on the bus home. Turned out that was WAY too heavy anyway so we got a taxi. Lugged it up three, THREE flights of stairs to my room and out of breath and a little bit sweaty looked at this massive box as our first DIY challenge. 

Source: bigappleboxes.com

It was all going fine and dandy until we got to the last part. Which was the hydraulics that make the chair go up and down. 

Me: Right it says once we have done this bit you can't take it off again. Are we 100% sure this is the right way. 

Friend: Urrrrm I think so. 

Me:How sure though, we need to be totally sure. I think it must be right, is it right?

Friend: Yeah, yep its right. I'm sure it is.

Me: Ok, here goes... 

Then all of a sudden we were proudly looking at a semi fancy looking leather look chair with arms and a tilt action. 

 

So I triumphantly sat down and leaned back expecting this...

and.... Nothing. 

Eh. 

Nope, nothing. 

So I went to get off and guess what guys. The chair tilted, FORWARDS.

After about half an hour of freaking out and imagining myself having to roll this chair all the way through the city centre... we realised it was totally fixable. Haa! 

VICTORY

Happy Tuesday, 

Love you! 

Love, me.
