HURRAH!
I finally have a new laptop.
It's been terrible not being able to keep track of all my friends amazing journals on here,
& after my laptop died on me, I pretty much felt lost without the internet being there.
I am off to work now, then try & catch up!

And dreamed of all the different ways I had

-----

i love this scene simply for the way they look at each other hahaha.

so i decided that I want to stop procrastinating & dreaming & actually DO something about what I want my life to be like.
so i have set some goals, goals that scare me, with the help of Gala's article ~ how to set amazing goals

I have completed my first goal which was to find a job i enjoy to earn some money for my main goals. hurrah!

~ obviously my number 1 goal is to go traveling next year & meet fabulous people.
    thats the whole reason for me taking a year out of education.
    im going to make it happen instead of just wishing & dreaming. & yes it scares me but it also makes me want to go dancing
    down the streets throwing confetti around.
    if Gala can live in NY and travel America and other places for months then so can everyone else right?
     ive stuck pictures of where I would like to travel on the fridge/on the wall by my bed so it will help me try to curb my
     silly spontaneous spending habits.

~ learn to drive. its going to cost quite a bit but will mean i can rent a car on my travels next year.
& ill feel like I have more freedom. (also this hot pink mini keeps driving past me & i would
like one of my own)

~ over the next year I want to continue working on myself. being more true to myself, more confident, more independent. & most
importantly more happy. & discover just what I want to do as a career ~ im still clueless *eek*

do you have any goals?

good things = reading in baths, hearing my eyesight hasnt got worse for once, discovering music you used
to love years ago & seeing they have got even better, SATC final i got round to watching - & *yes i cried like a stupid idiot*

is it normal for your co-workers to practically ignore you or be weird around you on your first day?
i went in friendly, chatty yet it was even hard getting a 'hi' or 'bye' from them.
im not sure whether this is because im new or whether its just how people typically are in this town (:

i really want a great group of friends.
i crave company right now.
im starting to feel so dead inside, and while i can walk around
a city and enjoy my own company, i suddenly miss the feeling
of being with people and laughing and talking.
but really, everyone i talk to recently are just so.. dull & rude.
oh and Q - i know many of you are in uni now, are there many people who are 20/21?
i wont be going till then & im hoping there will be people my age.

how have your days been?

4.Ordinary Love Stories: Mandy

I have fallen head-over-heels in love with Mandy the market-trader from Milton Keynes. She smells of hot dogs and counterfeit perfume.

On our first date, I decided to woo Mandy with some Greek mythology I’d recently read: 'In the beginning,' I explained, 'all human beings were hermaphrodites with four hands and four legs and two faces turned in opposite directions on the same head. These hermaphrodites were so powerful and their pride so self-absorbed that Zeus [the supreme god] was forced to cut them in two - into a male and female half. And from that day, each man and each woman has yearned to rejoin the half from which he or she has been severed'.

Mandy told me to stop being drippy.

'But I think you're my severed half,' I cried.

Mandy did not reply. And we spent the rest of the evening in a disastrous silence.

Ordinary Love Stories: Boudicca

I have fallen head-over-heels in love with an antiwar activist called Boudicca. She smells of body paints and lentil soup.

I first met Boudicca at an antiwar demonstration in London. She had the nicest bottom I had ever seen, and her vulgar songs about George W Bush truly made me blush. ‘Andre’ she would smile, with heavenly pink lips that plain and humble boys such as I could only dream of kissing. 'Who let the bombs out?'

At the time I did not know who had let the bombs out and so I would just shrug my shoulders and hang my head in utter shame. But over the years she has taught me things, many things, and now when she phones me from her two-man-tent and asks. 'Andre, dear Andre... who let the bombs out? I tingle all over and joyfully cry. 'Bush, Bush and Blair'.

Oh how I wish one drunken night she would tie me to the railings and seduce me with her fiery passion.

+ training week in my job next week from Tuesday. She said i wouldnt be doing any of the taking orders etc as of course
i need to be trained in much stuff. Am a huge combination of EXCITEMENT yet immense nervousness that i manage to dispel quickly while speaking some affirmations out loud.

+ JOB = £££ = NIGHTS SPENT PLANNING TRIPS

+ old people telling you to "go for the future!"

01. If you were to star in a movie who would want to be cast as your love interest?
seeking a dark eyed, dark haired mysterious enigma type man. i particularly take a fancy to Edward Droste (on ze left):

vincent gallo:

& DEVENDRA BANHART

02. What genre of movie would you most like to star in?
something like those foreign type films that sort of lack an action plot but still keep me enthralled throughout it.
me and my love (either of the above three :D) running down parisian streets, little adventures to discover those little known
beautiful back alleys where we happen upon many amazing and unique characters who join us along our travels.

03. What song would you insist be on the soundtrack?
too many to mention but perhaps Knife by Grizzly Bear which i find such a DIVINE song.

04. What would you wear to the premier of your movie?

05. Who would you thank in your Oscar acceptance speech?
oh the fans the fans of course! & all those people who take risks and follow their dreams.

what about you?

So... the lady from the cafe rung this morning at 11am & asked if i was still interested.
I just need to hand in some references, and it looks like I have the job...
BUT!
I am SO nervous! Not only do I not know how to work a till, not know whether I will
be good at cafe work, but I havnt even had a job before.
So, could any of you tell me what your first job was like? Did you get help?
Have any of you done cafe work before and what was it like for you?
Is it hard to use a store till? Haha!
& if you dont work, do you have any words of encouragement as I am EXTREMELY nervous
that I wont be able to perform well.
I often wonder why she didnt choose someone who has more experience.

Let's swallow fireflies and shine from the inside.

We'll light up the night
We'll be earthly fireworks
We'll jump and twirl and dance and fall
We'll run run run
Until we have no breath, no words, no songs
Just a pulsing light against the stars
We'll pretend that the sun is not coming up
We'll pretend that the night last forever
We will glow glow glow
Until time stops
Until the stars fall out of the sky

Let's swallow fireflies and shine from the inside.

1.
For my lover in the sky,

This house is grounded.
It creeks and it moans,
It twists and twitches,
but it stays put.
It is rooted in the ground, deep down in the dark wet dirt.
It will not move and I cannot go.
I will stay here, within these walls,
of rocks and wood and trees and mud.

I am earthbound.

I look at the sky, I long for the stars,
but I cannot fly.

I will stay put, in this house, and
pray that one day maybe,
A twister will come and carry this house away.
I would then fly, like Dorothy did,
among the clouds and the skies.
I would reach the place where the horizon dies.
I would fly to you and pluck you out of the space so,
we can fall back to Earth.
A shower of gold dust, back
To this house that twitches and moans

And then I would kiss you, and kiss you, and kiss you.

pretty pictures!

hello

- being so proud of the UK at the Olympics. We have had a great day for medals &
I couldn't be happier <3 BRING ON 2012 AT LONDON! I'll be there cheering them on!
I havnt really felt this patriotic before, do you support your country?

- eating chocolate after yummy chocolate while watching gymnastics & going 'ooh'
at every amazing move.

- having the most gigantic piece of chocolate cake with cream.

- saying the affirmation 'I OWN THE WORLD!' when i wake up in the morning.
do you use one?

- going on a solo adventure to York sometime next week hopefully! Couldnt go
last time as I couldnt find an umbrella anywhere! now i have a snazzy
leopard print one <3

something I wrote two days ago~

"today has been one of the best days this year so far.
nothing spectacular has happened, but its more the way i feel.
& i honestly know, that it is all down to you girls!
& all the positive energy that was in the post I did two nights ago,
when I needed cheering up, seems to have been transferred to my life.
it worked absolute wonders, thankyou all.
i hope you too are feeling wonderful today.

its hard to explain it, but all day I have had a huge amazing
surge of so many positive emotions running through my body.
excitement, happiness, hope, love, everything!
there have been moments where i burst out laughing for no reason,
weirdly my heart has been going so fast all day.
walking around town with my mum i felt like hugging everyone i saw,
i smiled at everyone and they all smiled at me.

also, perhaps the best news of all, it looks like i may have the job i
have wanted for ages, at my favourite cafe.
i went in today, & i had such a lovely long chat with the owner & the chefs.
she said i was exactly the right person to be working there,
& she would get in touch with me next week.
i would only be working a small amount of hours at first,
but that is perfect for my first ever job.
the people who work there sing and laugh all day, whenever i sit
down to have a coffee, i leave feeling on top of the world because
of how happy that place is.

i know this next year is going to be the best i have ever had.
everything is building up to next summer, i have such
a deep belief that all my plans will come true.
this is the year i get to travel to other countries, meet
many beautiful people, have overwhelming experiences.
if i am still LJ friends with any of you next year, i shall come&
give you a visit.
xoxoxo"

but the people i keep meeting i really cant relate to at all.
oh and this whole 'recession' thing that is going on is terrible, my family are in so much debt its awful.

(if anyone would like a new person to talk to on your online messenger thingy then just say &

also i finally managed to take just one of my studs out, wow they really fasten those
things on hard dont they. im not good with pain. i felt faint when i was putting in my feather earring *headdesk*
i shall work on the other stud later on tonight.

could of spent on train trips.

I want to write a song about this girl and teach it

what little things have you loved lately?

found in an old word document with collected passages from livejournals i loved ~

"I was at harpers last Monday. I had been left alone for a few minuets so I sat on a faded brown chair in-between two groups of people. I looked around and a couple to my left caught my attention. An attractive looking girl wearing an ill fitted aqua marine dress lent on the bar. Her hair crept loosely towards her hips and her eyes were heavily made up with dulled black eyeshadow. She was talking intensely with a boy a few heads taller than she. He wore a red cardigan, baggy white jeans and a cream coloured polo neck with a few small pins attached. His skin was milky and his hair settled neatly across his forehead. The girl whispered something in his ear and he shook his head. He then reached in his pocket and pulled out a tattered picture of a blonde haired girl sitting on a patterned sofa. 'No thank you' he said politely, 'I have a girlfriend, she's beautiful, and I love her' the girl looked at him for a few seconds then casually walked off. I caught the boy's eye and smiled. It restored my faith when I most needed it."

beautiful poem

Advice to Beginners by Ellen Kora

Begin. Keep on beginning. Nibble on everything.
Take a hike. Teach yourself to whistle. Lie.
The older you get the more they’ll want your stories.
Make them up. Talk to stones. Short-out electric
fences. Swim with the sea turtle into the moon. Learn
how to die. Eat moonshine pie. Drink wild geranium
tea. Run naked in the rain. Everything that happens
will happen and none of us will be safe from it.
Pull up anchors. Sit close to the god of night.
Lie still in a stream and breathe water. Climb to the top
of the highest tree until you come to the branch
where the blue heron sleeps. Eat poems for breakfast.
Wear them on your forehead. Lick the mountain’s
bare shoulder. Measure the color of days
around your mother’s death. Put your hands
over your face and listen to what they tell you.

i dont expect anyone to read this, but i need to write it down before my memory fails me :D

so last night BLEW MY MIND. COMPLETELY. so much laughter, smiles, hugs, singing, dancing & chats at 2am with a great group of people. it was like the room was going to explode by the time the band left.

+. so i saw a band called One Hand Clapping at our local village pub. the place was PACKED as it is quite a small pub, but we got a table (me, mum, dad & our friend Sue who is totally AMAZING & who became my 'second mum' by the end of the night'
+. the band played a mixture of folk-rock and many irish songs. & the three guys were SUBERB musicians. the acoustic guitarist was unbelievable at playing, everyone was open mouthed with awe hahaha! i swear his fingers must of been bleeding.
I had a huge soft spot for the bassist, he was also insanely great.

+ me, my mum and Sue are known as 'The Golden Girls' by some in the pub, and the band named us the 'Dancing Dollies' also :D
I swear nothing makes me feel so alive as dancing does. It made me giggle so much at how synchronized our moves were.
+. my favourite thing is making people smile & it made me BEAM even more when the band members looked over at us and laughed and smiled and put their thumbs up at us. though to be honest we were the only ones at that point stood up & boogy-ing!
+. the band started taking requests for songs, and of course then we all knew the songs & EVERYBODY was just singing along so loudly that i swear im surprised the rest of the village didnt call the police.

things that made me smile;
-the blonde lady who sings at folk night (i admire her so much!) came up to me when i was stood in the bathroom, to give me a big hug & tell me how i made her night :D
- when me and Sue walked back to our table, the bassist from the band was sitting on our seats and he gave us both such a LOVELY hug which took us by surprise. he thanked us for being so 'smiley' and getting everyone to loosen up and go crazy.
- ...which led to us all stood outside talking about lots of random things including a friendly but hilarious debate between him and my dad about the best whisky to drink.
- giving a few more people some lovely hugs!
- being invited to a party with the band straight after, but considering i cant drive i couldnt really go.
- and to top this all off, the band have been invited back in November. & i shall be going to see them in October... & also NEW YEARS EVE! (that is huge for me as I have never been out on new years eve. ever.)

i would ADORE any of Tarino Tarentinos jewellery. really, it makes me go all *oooh!* at how pretty everything is.
but alas, i can not afford any of it.

$120 and this is on sale. >_<

I NEED THESE.

my ears are just begging me to get some earrings like these.

so gala darling just did a new post entitled 50 Things to do Before Summer Ends.
i thought i should bold all of the things i have done (HURRAH!) and italicize (is that word?) all the things i intend to do within the next few days.
(not that we have much of a summer in here Britain, im always out and about in wooly scarves and three pairs of socks these days)

Buy a stack of old MAD magazines from a second-hand bookshop & read them in the sun (does any magazine count?)
Take lots of photos of you & your friends enjoying the weather
Wear something totally inappropriate & go dancing (inappropriate? it was like -100 last night, so cold! and i wore tights, shorts and a vest. but dancing does that to you, ah i was boiling!)
Drink cocktails & listen to Duffy
Make at least one new friend (then lost them after a month? ah well, they were not my kind of person anyhow (: )
Lie in bed in the morning, with the windows open & good music playing loudly
Take an outdoor yoga class
Eat black cherries
Flirt with someone of the same sex
Have a picnic in a tree
Buy an inflatable paddling pool, lie in it & take self-portraits
Take a dog for a walk
Trust your intuition
Climb on a jungle-gym
Explore a new area — even if it’s just another neighbourhood
Kiss someone new
Choose a project to start working on over winter
Get a deluxe spa pedicure
Buy a hula-hoop & start using it!
Throw a party in celebration of how fabulous you are
Go to the beach & build a sand-castle
Stock up on jangly bracelets at a flea market ( i have acquired like at least 20 this summer)
Start a journal
Have a slumber party with a friend & go out for breakfast in the morning (if i had someone to do this with! boo.)
Go to a rooftop party ( i wish! )
Learn some words in another language (spanish infact! SI!)
Make some choices which make you nervous (going to a huge city next year alone? yes. major nervousness)
Go for a bike ride with your best friend ( i did this all last summer. my bike is dead now)
Get a massage which makes you feel as if your body’s melting
Buy a fabulous sun-hat ( i dont suit hats!)
Visit the tourist attractions in your own city (In BLACKBURN?! Ha. but i have at Manchester!)
Hack up an old pair of jeans into shorts (YES. I love shorts atm! cold weather or not!)
Have an Elton John singalong
Learn to appreciate good guitar players (last night i did just this.)
Do something that your parents or friends disapprove of
Take the vacation days you have owing ( i dont have a job! eek!)
Take an art class
Spend some quality alone time in saucy underwear
Carry a tiny water-gun in your purse
Go skinny-dipping ( i would like to but.. it perhaps wont happen)
Start to believe that you can truly have whatever you want (Y-E-S! most important thing ever.)
Make a commitment to wearing heels at least one day a week
Try every different bottled iced tea at your local shop
Lie around in the grass with your sunglasses & a pair of headphones on
Go roller-skating
Take a flower-arranging class
Keep a secret
Swear off drama
Reconnect with your old friends ( i wouldnt want to reconnect with any of my old friends actually, and that is a shame i guess)
Read this & be inspired!

the only two pairs of shoes i wear.

i dont know why but new socks always make me happy.

the cat which randomly walks into our house and 'meows' like crazy at us when we try to move her.

bill seemed to like my pink hair dye (:

alfie came to join in on the fun!

hmm, seems Molly didnt approve :( she always gives this evil look to everyone!

but she can also be super-cute.

i got the most loveliest letter today, with two of the cutest badges...

... and a perfectly made origami crane!

P.S this post by Gala inspired me so much - Your Most Fabulous Self

"What would you say are the attributes of your most fabulous self? How do you behave when you are being your absolute cutest, most clever, witty, sparkly, excitable, flirt-tastic, ambitious, well-dressed, best ever incarnation of you?

Ruminate on that for a little bit!

Now. What is stopping you from being your most fabulous self all the time?"

~ dyed my hair light blonde and dying the bottom of my hair pink tomorrow. i love it (: [although my hair must be pretty dead from all the dying it has had to go through tonight)
& drinking yummy ginger beer, listening to patrick wolf & having bizarre conversations with someones 5 year old sister on msn = good night (:
& burning some loose incense called 'garden of eden' = heaven.

browsed on the ones we love for hours & i loved the sweet notes they wrote about the one they loved:

i think mine would be to my mother, for believing in my crazy dreams. always reassuring me that i did my best and i couldnt have given any more than i did. and in helping me grow and become stronger as a person.

"what would your amortentia smells be?

FYI: amortentia smells are an aroma from a love potion from HP. they are basically smells that remind people of what they find attractive, or things they really like."

mine are -
the sweet smell of bonfire smoke/birthday candles or matches just blown out
the smell of the air by the sea, like sea-salt.
spicy cinnamon/ginger
strong indian incense
fresh clean linen
the smell after summer rain
freshly baked bread
the smell in the air right before a lightening storm
washing my hair with my blueberry and ginseng shampoo (my hands smell lovely afterwards)

what would yours be?

ah, my favourite illustrator, stella im hultburg.

meme (these things are too addictive) i got from fairy_glamour.

Rules: When you see this meme immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

So I usually change my wallpaper every week, & this week I went for hot pink & a crazy picture of John Halcyon Styn at Burning Man. i chose it because it encourages me to work towards my goal of going to burning man/going to america next summer. & he has pink hair, so its all good :D

I usally have a ga-zillion icons cluttered all over my desktop, but this afternoon I cleaned them all up after seeing fairy_glamours very tidy desktop! I still have halloween icons from last year. I tell myself to change them every day but unfortunately im one of the worlds biggest procrastinators so im sure they will still be up by this christmas.

I only really use my laptop for the internet, itunes, wordpad and paint. yes, wordpad and paint *bows head in shame* . my laptop wont let me install Word or anything o__o

I also have google desktop with the moon phases, local time & also San Francisco and Tokyo's time ( i really want to go to those two places) & also a quote on the little mini-notebook.
