Decorate my bedroom, and turn it into something I love.

I'm half way through this one - all but one corner is painted; a huge wardrobe is obstructing its completion! As soon as exams are done, or I just have the time, it's the first thing I'm doing. If I could, that would be my room - it is gorgeous.

One two ready go

If I wrote down a hundred things,

That I thought that I could do,

By the time that I was 67,

Would there be another list,

Of 99 things that I missed,

Just because I had a fear of failing?

Would I have walked between two towers,

Just like the man on wire,

Even though he had a chance of falling.

Would I have opened up my soul,

And let inside that deep dark hole,

Another human being capable of calling me by ... ?

I wrote down a hundred things,

That I thought that I could do,

By the age of 19 years old.

There's another list,

Of just one thing that I missed,

All because I had a fear of failing.

One thing that I left,

Highly unadressed,

Without a line dividing up the letters.

If I ignored those little words,

I could never become hurt,

I could move on and do so much better.

I love this song - Man on Wire, Jose Vanders.

It's quite relevant to how I feel right now; like there's so many things I want to do, and am scared of not doing. So, I thought it would be nice to do a little project - a little thing on my Blogger.

Everyday (or as near to every day as I can) I'm going to write a 'thing I want to do' post, starting tomorrow, hopefully I will have thought of a better name than 'thing I want to do' by tomorrow.

Not things like, see the world; fall in love; blah blah blah. Things that are solid and doable and inspiring. I think.

Well, if you read them, yey!

Happy Wednesday ( a lovely long blog about not much)

This week has been lovely so far, but unfortunately I have not been in the photo mood so sorry for these rubbish ones.

One thing you should go and do right now, if you haven't already, is go to Brick Lane in London and point yourself in the direction of Rokit, Beyond Retro and all the other wonderful little vintage shops down Brick Lane. Just wondering through them, looking at all the cute shoes and crazy dresses is lovely. I was pretty pleased, as I managed to find myself one of those bags which I just know will now never leave my side; a pair of sunglasses which were exactly the kind I searched for for the whole of last summer; and a really cute red bow for my hair - it was just in a random box in Beyond Retro - so sweet! there was also a cat. A real life, living breathing cat. I must say I was a little scared at first.

To continue (is it just me that always says this with a french accent?) my little shopping spree, me and the lovely Beth and Hannah popped on down to OxfdStrt. H&M was just disappointing. Topshop, however, was not. It's overpriced. It's not great quality. But I love it. I've had my eye on this skater type dress since, oh about January now? And it was in the 'Buy it now or regret it later' section, so I just did it. It's slightly see through, but nothing a white bra and avoiding too many bright lights can't handle. I also bagged some good ol' high waisted shorts, which will always be essential for summer me thinkles.

So, oui! Shopping after you haven't in ages is just great. Today I had my second caramel blended coffee from Starbuckies today, which means I'm in the running to beat my total last year of about 3000.

I'm going to see Dear John tomorrow - I'm stupidly excited. Channing Tatum + Amanda Seyfried + rain kisses = The Notebook round 2.

Right now, I'm enjoying a bit of Frank Turner (I've just fallen in love with 'Substitute'). Also, The Futureheads and Mystery Jets are now officially on the Reading line up - thank you festival Gods, THANK YOU.

Today I feel

inspired and happy

:)

I thought we were through this.

I thought I was over you. I'm not.

ROB PATZ.

Why. At first, I swooned, yes I admit it. But then I saw you as Eddy Cullz and just wanted to throw up everywhere (I hope you know you ruined that book for me).

But then, Remember Me happened. And you proved a) you are a good actor, b) you are gorgeous, c) you can do a half decent american accent.

And I love you again.

you're still not a good edward.

Social Networking

Really is the kill of my social life.

I've realised that I'm saying 'oh I don't have the time' to do anything, because I'm revising, when actually, if I just got the foook off facebook for the day, I would have the time to do both.

paint

I want to do some art. But I don't want to do some art for a project which I have to do well in, and have to keep within a theme. I just want to paint patterns and words and people that I like, people that I dislike, people who I want to be. And paint people in dresses in fields. I might just paint something and pretend it's vaguely some how related to 'work rest play'. Righto bye :)
