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!!

Brazilian prostitutes...

Are what I have been studying for the past week for my anthropology course, and for the first time this term, I am actually enjoying studying. However, the essay I am required to write on the topic is another matter entirely, and the reason why I am writing this blog post. Short of tidying my bedroom, I have literally procrasinated in every other conceviable way, including trekking to Tesco in arctic conditions (-9 degrees here tonight) and narrowly avoided slipping down a hill on my bum!!! However, it was an essential trip as I was in dire need of essay writing provisions, but my shreddies and red bull so far have not spurred me into action!!!

Once more, I must admit my life currently is rather dull :( I work a lot, which is still mind-numbingly boring, and I have soooo many essays to write! I am seriously counting down the days until I go home, (17 sleeps) to where I will have my mum looking after me and I can escape (if only for a while) the guilt I feel every single time I do something non-university related!!

Aberdeen has been horrid recently, we have been experiencing awful weather :( I do not mind the snow too much, though I could live without out, but every single time I step out of the house (honestly, no exaggeration) it either rains, hails or thunders on me!!! And we have not even had nice snow, it is all sludgy and muddy :(

I went to the cinema last night with Carl, to see Skyline. It was crap, not worth a review on my film blog. It had shoddy acting and the script was basic and largely predictable. It also had a confusing ending, which Carl had to explain to me! I would definately not recommend this film.
However, last week, we saw Harry Potter, and anybody who knows me, is I'm sure aware that I am not in the slightest a Harry Potter fan. But I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this film, even if it did make me cry.

I'm getting extremely excited about my advent swap parcel :) Can not wait to open them! I am going to try to save each present to the end of the day, to cheer me up after a rubbish day at work or uni! However, I feel just managing to limit myself to one a day will be an achievement!!

I should go now, and actually start writing my essay. Though I'll probably finish watching sign-language Jeremy Kyle first, it is educational after all!!

Night Night Xxxxx

Hello Bloggettes :)

I've been meaning to post on here for ages, but never seem to find the time! And I'm not sure just how interested people are in my, currently rather mundane, life! But since its three in the morning and I can not sleep, I thought I'd return to my neglected blog :D

So much has happened since I last blogged, I'm now back in Aberdeen, which is quite awesome! I've got a lovely flat, and I decorated my room pink and blue :) I have just started my new job, working in the HR department in M&S, as part of the management team, and as of 2 days in, is the most boring job EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On the plus side however, by comparision, it makes my dire anthropology courses appear all of a sudden fascinating!!

It's great being back with my friends :) Missed them all hugely over the summer!! Though we seem to have gone rather boring and rarely go out now, opting instead to stay in! I blame the vicious Aberdonian weather!! (we've already been subjected to snow!!!) Every Friday, Carl and I have themed movie night! So far we have had 80's, Vampires and Superman. Tomorrow is Indiana Jones night, which I am very excited about. It does mean though however, that I have to tidy my room!!!

All snuggled up watching Star Trek at Carl's!


My Sister Mica came to stay with me a few weeks ago, whcih was awesome!! But instead of taking the opportunity to show off my culinary talents, I instead spent ALL of my money taking her to restaurants! In fact, the one time I did cook, it was curly fries :)


My first attempt at pumpkin carving was a success, even if I do say so myself :)


Playing our new favourite game, "Photos in the dark!"



I'm much too tired to write anymore, but (once more) I promise not to neglect this blog, or my other again. In fact, I may snuggle in bed to watch a film so I can review it tomorrow!!
Night Night :) Xxxxxxxx

Catherine comes to town!!

The previous weekend had been most fantastic, as one of my best friends had come down from Aberdeen to visit for the weekend. She lives in Dubai so I was insistent she came to visit before she jetted off to the sun for the summer!



Now I have only known Catherine for about 2 months, but we have become ridiculously good friends in that short space of time. We should have met in Buddhism class but since one of us rarely turned up, despite fancying the lecturer (ahem, Catherine :P) it wasn't until we had a night of truth and dare and wine at a friends house that we met properly! Much wine fueled hilarity has ensued ever since.

Anyway, back to this weekend, we met up again on Friday (having to hunt each other down at Leeds train station) and went straight to the pub (I had coke) before shopping!! I got a LAdy Gaga inspired top which is most awesome!!

On Saturday night, we went to my Aunty's hen night, a night full of hilarity and drunken antics!! I made a fiver though (and I'm not telling you how, but it involved my bra ... :P) It was an ace night though!!



Sunday was a disappointment however, as England was knocked out of the world cup! Now whilst I am not an avid football follower (or actually a follower at all!!!) but i do follow England in the world cup and I really wanted us to win!! Not just because I am patriotic, but because I felt we really needed something of that magnitude to lift our spirits after the diabolical election results!!!!!!!! I really loved how much England got behind the team and supported them!! But I was most upset at the attitude of Scotland! Living in Aberdeen, I have many Scottish friends, but not a single one wanted England to win and all had the exact same ignorant reasons for not wanting them to do so!!!

I had to return to Aberdeen this week, to move into my new flat, and I am slightly more enthused about the new flat after inspecting my new wardrobe!!! It is sooo awesome!! It is huge!!! I know you are bored of hearing about it mumma, but it has a rack for shoes and handbags and TWO full length rails for clothes (i'm already excited at the prospect of buying new clothes to fill it up with) and the doors are mirrored!!!!!!!!



Check it!!! I know you are jealous!!!!!

I have just finished the first seven books in the Southern Vampire mystery series (which the tv show True Blood is set upon) and I am obsessed!! They are the sort of books which stop you from doing anything else they are that addictive!! They are really well written and just fantastic. I enjoy the show a lot too, but the book shave the added bonus of no a lot Bill Compton and no shoddy acting, as the the actor who plays Bill CAN NOT ACT!!!!! But I really love these books and the show and I am impatiently waiting for to get the last two books and for the next episode to be aired!!

Eric, a 1000 year old viking vampire is the best character, in both the books and t.v. show!!

Anyway, gonna watch my film now, so nighty night bloggers!! xxxxx
