Hello again :D

Hello,

This is just a quick post to show the beautiful blanket me and my Momma made.

Isn't it awesome?? It took two years to complete, I crocheted all the squares and my Mum sewed tham all together and edged it for me. All the squares are done in pink (obviously) and there is about thirty different types of wool, in varying textures and shades. I'm soooo proud of my big pink blanket, it was my first crochet project, started in the summer after my first year at uni, and I finally have it completed, ready for my fourth year :D I love it!!













My Sister and I snuggled under it this morning (ignore the bed hair!!!!!)

I must also show you all the amazing picture my Sister Evie made for me to hang in my new flat.

I think it is just amazing. She is only nine, but is soooo talented. There is no way I could be presented with a blank canvas and produce something as good as this. It really brightens up my new living room.

I should go to sleep now, I have my first class of fourth year tomorrow.

Good night :D Xxx

My day in picture - Day 1

This is what my evening was supposed to entail, lots and LOTS of essaying (4 this week) lots of reading, whilst eating my yummy tea (it was sooo hard to stop eating long enough to take the picture) and snacking on some chocolate!!

Unfortunately, I have so far spent the night reading Hornblower, doing my hair and working on a surprise for my Momma!!

Not the most productive of evenings :\



Today would have been my Grandads birthday. One night this week, I will find an old man pub and go for a pint in his honour.

Xxxx

I iz lovin' this week...

1) My new Kindle :) Its sooo awesome! My Brill Dad and Super Step-Mum got it for me for my birthday, and it is sooo useful and cool!! I love it!! Really need my Momma to make me case though (Hint hint!!!)

2)Irn Bru!!
Well, not technically loving, more enjoying for the first time! I've always maintained I hate irn Bru, because Im not Scottish :P But had some yesterday at my Dads and actually enjoyed it!!! Rather a lot to be honest!!




3) The Limousines!
These are an American elctropop band, who I have recently fallen in love with! They are truly fantastic! You can tell they are heavily influenced by the likes of the Chemical Brothers and MGMT (more bands I love) and they are so catchy! If you haven't heard them, I'd recommend you listen to 'dancing at her funeral' and 'Internet killed the video star'

4)My bed!
Just because I've been out in the snow and rain and my bed is so damn cosy :)
I'm sat in it now, with soup and hot chocolate :)

5) My Lovely Momma,
She is the only Mum in the world who would send me cupcakes in the post, but I love that she did!
I miss her a lot this week, and can't wait to go home at the end of the Month!!

My Handbag :)

My Momma also told me to this blog post (stop telling me what to do Mum, I'm 21!!!!!)

It came about because I had a panic before, thinking I had lost my phone, I hadn't, but didn't discover this until I'd tipped out the contents of my bag and rolled around in it, sobbing!!

So this is the crap which is in my bag daily! What does it say about me??


There is...

• a pad of paper and my pencil case. I'd just got back from uni, and I'm not dedicated enough to take books and other paraphernalia :P Isn't my pencil tin awesome? However, most of pens don't fit in it, as it is filled with different varieties of lip gloss!!
• My payslips, so I can whip them out in conversation, and be all "ohh, I have a job, look how much I got paid!" Carl in particular enjoys it when I do that!!
• I counted 27 reciepts lurking in the bottom of my bag! as well as several empty wrappers, I only put 2 in the picture to try to pretend that I don't eat that much junk :P
• My keys, which hide from on a daily basis!
• my staff card, for M&S, whcih I have tried to pay for things with in Asda!
• Paracetemols, for when annoying people give me headaches!
• Make-up, in case I get rained on, or am in a particuraly boring lecture, which is when the mirror comes in hands too :)
• My memory stick which I stole from my mum, which has tehn half completed essay i should be finishing on it :\
• My purse, which lacks much money, but is bursting with even more reciepts!
• My gloves!! Aberdeen is unnaturally cold, so I need my gloves everyday, and will moan incessantly if I have forgotton them!!

Man, I have a lot of rubbish in my bag, there was more, but it wouldn't fit in the picture :P
My phone is also usually in my bag, but after the scare, I couldn't bare to be parted from him! Also, I needed him to take the picture on!!
There was also a present for my Mum, but since I haven't given it to her yet, I felt it unfair to show everybody else it!!
Night night XXX

7 things you don't need to know about me!

My Momma told me to do this ages ago, but I am just now getting round to it, I have neglected my blog recently :(

So here are 7 things which I feel you don't need to know about me!!

1) I treat my iPhone like a child. To be fair, like a child who I put in my handbag and can make calls from, but I love it as much as I imagine I'd love a child. I talk to him, (he is male) and call him by its name, iPhone 4 :)

This leads on to number 2,

2) I name EVERYTHING! All my appliances and plants etc all have names. My laptop is called Toppy, my Camera is called Kody, and at home, I have 2 Cacti, one called Bertie the other Reggie. I also make everyone else refer to these things by name also!

I feel I should point out here that I am not crazy!!!

3) I go through periods of small obssessions with characters from TV shows :S My first (not counting Thomas the Tank Engine) was Jack Bauer from 24, then it was Indiana Jones, then Gene Hunt and now it is Horatio Hornblower :)

4) I have more than 80 dresses in my wardrobe, all of which are lovely, yet I spent most of my time in a pair of demin shorts :\

5) At uni, I am an amazing chef, housekeeper, entertainer etc, but when I go home, I for some reason lose all these skills, and need my Mum to do everything for me :P
She enjoys it though!!

6) I hate EVERYONE!! I'm sorry if you are reading this under the impression that I am fond of you, I'm not!!

I'm not quite as bad as that, but I am extremely irritable, and I just don't like people very much!!

7) I like to pretend I am cool, but I play World of Warcraft! I am massively proud that I have a level 61, which I levelled all by myself! :)

I iz lovin'.....

My Top 5 favourite things this week :)

1) Fried Rice

I love it :D I have eaten it 5 times this week and I am already looking forward to eating it again!!
I am actually contemplating leaving this entry for a while to go cook some more.....



2) Hornblower!!



I lOVE the TV show, my Mum and I sat and watched every episode last month. I really wanted to read the books it is based on, by C S Forester, so my lovely Mummy has bought me the first 6!
Unfortunately, due to my hectic work load this term (14 essays!!!) I'm still on the first one, but it is amazing!!! The TV shown is a fantastic adaptation, but already, I prefer the books. They are exceptionally well written, amusing and manage to turn a subject of which I have absolutely no interest in, appear fascinating.

3)My crochet bunting!


My Momma made me this bunting and send it to me yesterday. I love it :) I've already put it up and it looks sooo awesome!! I love it when she makes me things and my room is full of hand made things by her ( and my sisters too) I much prefer hand made decorations to shop bought ones.

4) The Guild!


I love this show! My friend Carl introduced me to it and we stayed up until 6am last night watching it! It is so worth the tiredness I feel now though! For those who haven't seen it, watch it!! It is about the 6 members of guild on an online game and how the game has taken over their lives! it is so funny! I can not wait until the next season comes out in the summer!!


5) Friday night film night :)




Every Friday night, my friend Carl and I watch films! I'm stupidly busy throughout week, so its nice to relax watching awesome films! We made each other a list of films we think the other should watch, and are quickly making our way through them! This friday we watched Dark City, with Kiefer Sutherland and creepy dead guys, and also Taken, an amzing film with Liam Neeson, whose daughter is kidnapped and sold in to human trafficking, and he has only 96 hours to find her!



Now, unfortunately, I have to go essay :(
Though I may make some fried rice and watch 90210 first :P Xx

Christmas questions and snowy fun :D

I stole these questions from my Momma :D
I though I'd answer them whilst I wait for my snowy fun pictures to upload!!!


1.WRAPPING PAPER OR GIFT BAGS?
I much prefer wrapping paper, I think it looks soooo much nicer and is much more fun to open than bags. However, bags are easier and faster.

2.REAL TREE OR ARTIFICIAL?
Fake!!! I can't be bothered with real ones, I think we are still finding needles from the real one we had when I was seven!!!
We have a really awesome black one at home :D

3.WHEN DO YOU PUT UP THE TREE?
My mum doesn't like it up too early, and it does take up a lot of room, so it tends to go up mid December!! It doesn't feel christmassy until then anyway, so Im fine with that!

4.WHEN DO YOU TAKE THE TREE DOWN?
I don't, it's too sad :( means all the festive fun is over!!

5.FAVOURITE GIFT RECIEVED AS A CHILD?
Hmm, I'm not sure, there was too many :)

6.HARDEST PERSON TO BUY FOR?
My Dad, he NEVER gives me a clue what he wants. And all my Mum says, when i ask what she wants is "I don't want anything" which doesn't help either.

7.EASIEST PERSON TO BUY FOR?
My Baby sister Evie, but I always tend to get a bit carried away :D

8.MAIL OR EMAIL CHRISTMAS CARDS
I love getting christmas cards, but I'm much to lazy to send them myself!! I don't really think email cards are proper cards though!!!!

9.FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE
Most of them are too sad for me!! Especially the Snowman.
Carrie is always on the tele on Christmas eve, so I always watch that!

10.WHEN DO YOU START SHOPPING FOR CHRISTMAS?
Normally, about the 22nd or 23rd of December, I'm really not organised.

11.HAVE YOU EVER RECYCLED A CHRISTMAS PRESENT?
Yeah, and I steal stuff my Mum and sister don't want either too :)

12.FAVOURITE THING TO EAT AT CHRISTMAS?
German christmas biscuits all the way!!
I finally found some on Friday, thats when I know its christmas :)

13.LIGHTS ON THE TREE-COLOURED OR CLEAR?
I don't really care, as long as there are lots of them!!

14.FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG?
Wham, last christmas os by far the best christmas song EVER!!
But I love most, apart from recent ones or gimmicky ones!!!

15.TRAVEL AT CHRISTMAS OR STAY AT HOME?
Stay at home definately, I'm not sure it would feel like christmas if we went on holiday, we have lots of silly little christmas traditions I'd miss!!

16.ANGEL,STAR OR RIBBON ON TOP OF TREE?
I don't like ribbons! So I'd prefer a star or Angel.
Personally, I think they should just put a big picture of me up there :P


17.OPEN THE PRESENTS CHRISTMAS EVE OR MORNING?
My mum is sooo strict about christmas presents!!! I have to BEG to be allowed to open one on christmas eve, and she only occassionally relents!! And she makes us have breakfast before we can open them!!!!


18.MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR?
The wait!!!!
I hate waiting for christmas day!!

19.WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR?
I really can't think of much I want this year, just bits and pieces! i really want the Stardust book by Neil Gaiman and the Proposal, but that is all I could think of! My mum always gets me great presents though :)

20.TRADITIONAL COLOURS (RED AND GREEN) OR OTHER COLOURS?
I much prefer bright colours, red and green is far too boring!!




Today, my friend Lynsey and I ventured out into the snow and had a great afternoon frolicking in it :)



we even went to the beach and paddled in the sea, which I was not exactly a pleasant experience!



Then we stumbled across a park, and spent a joyful hour swinging, climbing, slipping down a pole and being on a boat =D



I must go though, I have an entire flat to clean, all my packing to do and a mountain of essays to tackle, as well entertaining my two best friends, all before 7am!!
I'm not worried though :|

Oh, I almost forgot to add, I'M GOING HOME TOMORROW!!! :D :D :D :D :D
