bonjour!
I haven't blogged in a long, long time - I feel positively dirty.

It's Sunday evening, and I've had a very tiring and crazy weekend. I had a pimps and hoes party on Friday night which was a lot of fun - spin the bottle never gets old. The mess wasn't too bad so the next day I went and made a load of cookies for my ill friend who is stuck in her house for the rest of her life. Well a few days. She liked them. We watched family guy - I'm sneakers O'Toole. I then went off to a party at someone's house where I hardly knew anyone, but that didn't stop me getting plastered and walking around with my mouth open. Ah, it's all good fun.

Right now I'm searching for a nice hoody - it's getting closer and closer to that time of year. I love buying jumpers, because you just know you're going to wear it everyday for the next month. I'm thinking maybe a superdry?

I hope anyone who ever actually bothers to read this has had a good summer :)

Packing, packing

Don't you love it when there's a silent and calm evening, and you begin to hear a few patters of rain hit the window, and within 5 seconds there's torrential rain pounding outside. I love being inside when it's raining outside, makes it feel like winter - my favourite season, mainly because I love coats. I love summer, don't get me wrong, but I'm definitely looking forward to layers, knitted jumpers and boots for the winter and autumn colours. I've said the word love a lot in the last paragraph, but I think it's all in order.

I'm going to Greece tomorrow, my third holiday this year, and I'm just getting better and better at packing light! I always worry too much and end up bringing ridiculous amounts of shaving cream and body lotion, but not this time, oh nooo! Packing liiiight. It also didn't take me too long, so I've watched a lot of Gossip Girl with my sister - we now can say the opening sequence perfectly in time with the TV and we even have a small dance. Oh, how I wish I was Blair Waldorf. Serena's OK, but it's funner to be a bitch, non? I also had a last minute catch up with two of my friendies, and now I want to see ALL OF THEM, but alas, I cannot, sad, sad times.

Anyway I should really get an early night, even though we're not going until midday - I've had enough of early mornings! I will definitely miss my Spotify account - Jenny Don't Be Hasty, Paolo Nutini is currently making me smile.

Hope anyone who actually reads my blogs has a good next 11 days. Hope people don't read it do to, but you guys are special.

OH packing is a chore.

I usually quite like it, but this is the third time, and je suis very tired. Need to wash everything, dry everything, go to boots and buy 'things'. Oh well, at least I'm going on holiday, I suppose. I'm looking forward to reading and doing nothing, it will be fun.

But, sleep comes first, always.

Remember

Last night I stayed over a friend's house with two girls and we ended up having the biggest heart to heart I've had in a long, long time. They're both gorgeous girls, and both have boyfriends who they are hopelessly devoted to. The things we talked about have reminded me that however much us girls (and boys) scream and cry about how frustrating the opposite sex is, there are exceptions for each of us. It's reminded me that everyone will find that boy (or girl) who they just feel right with, and then all that we say he hate about boys/girls will just dissappear and we'll be happy :) It might not come for another 5 years, it might come tomorrow, but when it does, you will know and there will be no doubt and know hesitation... You'll know.

We shared a lot, and I miss having those kind of chats. They make you feel so much better about everything. I'm going to have those chats more.

I need to start packing.

have good days :)

Tonight

I'm having my third girly sleepover in a row. This time it's with two loovely ladies who I haven't seen in far too long, and I'm very excited :) We're planning on eating crap food and watching good films. It should be fun :)

As per always

As per always, I feel as though summer is passing me by a little too quickly. Every year, have a list of things I want to do in the summer, and, every year, I don't end up doing any of them. This year I wanted to learn how to make a skirt, and I got as far as chosing some nice material. I wanted to do another portrait of someone, like I did in the easter holidays, but, alas, I have not. I also haven't read all of any books. I fact, I haven't finished a book that I've been reading since about May. Oh, I also wanted to 'get fit' and play a lot of tennis, but I hardly blame that not happening on summer going to quickly.

However, all is not lost, the summer isn't over yet! I still have the opportunity to laze around on a beach reading as many books as I can when I go to Greece this Thursday, and perhaps I'll even get a bit of tennis in there. Anyway, we must all be very cliche and remember everything we did do, rather than everything we didn't.

Even if summer is almost over, that means it's nearly christmas, which can't be a bad thing. I've always preferred Christmas to summer - mulled wine and mince pies, gloves and scarves, giving and receiving presents, seeing that part of the family that you haven't seen all year.

Books I'm going to read this summer.

Ok so fair enough I'm not pulling the most attractive face in the 'before' photo, in fact I look rather like a fish, but I generally I like it? Something different after all.

Birdsong

So I'm already near the end of this book, but it's proving to be a lot longer than I thought! It's a really good book, and definately lives up to everything I heard about it. I love books about WW1 and this one is great because it also has a great love story, as well as being really well written.

Keeping Faith

Generally, I don't like Jodi Picoult. She annoys me. The first book I read by her was the Pact. It wasn't my favourite book in the world to say the least. I found it too slow and predictable, maybe a bit too cliche. However, my friend has persuaded to give Keeping Faith. It's about a woman's daughter who gets spiritual sightings etc, and the mother is an athiest. I'll give it a go, but I might not like it much.

Time Traveller's Wife

Unfortunately I'm in Greece when the film comes out, but seeing the adverts has made me desperate to read the book. I love Rachel McAdams, so will see the film as soon as I can when I'm home. So, as I can't see the film for a good few weeks, I might as well read the book first! I'm gonna buy it today and I'm really looking forward to it. I don't really know what it's about - a man who time travels's wife, I'm guessing. I've heard it's good!
