The Time Traveler's Wife

(Even though it still pains me to use one L when writing the title), this is one of my favourite films. It's such a beautiful story... Rachel Mcadams is perfect. You totally forget you're watching a film. The book is up there too, but what I like most is how they don't compete. The film captures the exact essence of the book, without ruining any of it. I love it!

not because of this picture, because of The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.

I keep a diary.

But I actually wish I kept a journal.

I know this is just 'terminology', but it's like the difference between a couch and a sofa - to me, a couch is a bit luxurious and sexy (as far as a piece of furniture can be) and a sofa is just comfy and snuggley. To some it may be the other way around...

Anyway! I kind of just write what happened today, how I feel about things and anything I've been thinking about a lot. So it's by no means impersonal, it's just a diary.

But that's all it is. Writing.

Journals, in my view, are bukly; there's things stuck in it; some days are just a drawing; there are photos in it.

So, as I am scared of allowing this summer to just pass me by, I'm going to try and stick something in my diary everyday. Today, it will be the sticker stuck on my sun lotion bottle, as it is the first time this year I have worn sun lotion! A bit lame today but I've honestly had a rather average day.

But hey ho!

Why is everything so expensive?

I currently have £5.98 to my name.

I want to go to the gym, this will leave me with 98p till July.

I want to go to London and draw some things in the natural history museum. This will leave me with - £10.02.

I want to go and see prince of Persia. If I go on Wednesday I may manage it, but I can't be sure.

Honestlyyy.

J'AI UNE ROBE DE.... PROM!

(oh dear lord I'm supposed to be doing Alevv French next year... haven't done any in what 4 months? ohnoohno.)

ANYWAY! School's out, guys! No more exams, no more stressyness and no more disgusting bottle green jumpers which make me look as frumpy as a dumpling (?) (omg got told today by a bra fitter I have bra size 30F - thirty eff)

Anyhoodles, I have a prom dress! It may be very unoriginal, it may be from Topshop, but it's lovely. And, I searched far and low and this is the only nice one which looks good as well, and it's just gonna be sexxy. Big black killer platforms to compliment and some chunky jewellery... Magnifique!

I'm very happy today guys, wanna know why? I think I've found my... passion. My niche. My calling. And everything is good - I no longer feel I need to be a lawyer.

Au revoir xx

my exams present

I LOVE DANCE SHOWS.

They're such a hoot. I think I vowed never to wear a catsuit again a few years ago but when you're playing a cat, it's kinda necessary. Then being Elpheba an hour later, with what 4 other costume changed in between and then another 5 after. Not to mention the different face paints.

Worst feeling during a dance show: running off stage whilst your next dance is being called to the wings, and realising you have no idea where your costume is... It's great.

But all went well and I have officially decided that if I fail in all my exams, I am definitely just gonna be a dancer. Done.

Right now, I wish

I was in: Australia. On a beach, getting a tan. I've just looked at the photos of my friend who moved to Australia a few years ago (whoa hey stalker!) and her life just looks so cotch - I think it's literally how it seems on the films. Swinging on ropes into a lake.

I was reading: The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's such a lovely book.

I was eating: Chocolate profiteroles, nomnom.

I was drinking: Cracker. Bloody love that stuff.

I was with: THE GALS. I sometimes get so tired (physically not mentally) of being a girlfriend, so it's nice to just be. With the gals.

Instead I'm revising (or I'm supposed to be revising) Maths which I don't get and English Language which I don't care about. Euuurgh someone take me to a beach, or shopping.
