The Royal Wedding 2011

Really, how could I not post about this? I'm not usually the most patriotic person, maybe it's because I'm engaged myself, or simply wanted to see the dress, but at about 8am I forced myself (and Craig) to roll out of bed, head downstairs and watch the coverage on television with Craig's mom and sister. Those two had been up since 6am for this! But we sat, judged the outfits of guests entering the abbey and drank our tea (latte in my case, I cannot stand tea).

I was shocked at the lack of colour the guests were wearing, playing it safe in dated tones, and the hats....ugh! Ok, some looked like amazing pieces of art, that should have been on a podium, not the head of some person who is important enough to warrant the invitation to a Royal wedding! I have also decided that hats are to be banned from my wedding, well those sort of hats anyway!

But when David and Victoria Beckham arrived, we made noise. He looked so dashing, and his hair looked great. That man has seriously got better with age. As for Victoria, I guess dressing a baby bump and looking smart enough for a State do is tricky, not had to do it myself, but what she wore was pretty to say the least, that hat was something else though.

Collective descision was that Prince's William and Harry looked absolutely dashing in their officer's uniforms.

I've always thought that HRH The Queen has always dressed well, and I was definately expecting a bright coloured suit, she didn't disappoint.

Then, of course the moment we'd all been waiting for. The moment that Kate stepped out of the car. Her dress was perfect! Not over the top, but very classy, without being frumpy.

As she walked down the aisle I was close to tears, so was Craig's mom, but his sister did cry, no shame in it, for a very reliogious wedding it was beautiful. One of my favourite moments was seeing the Queen move her mouth, but not actually singing the hymns.

I have to say, today I was proud to be Brittish. The masses that turned up to stand in the crowd and celebrate such a lovely occassion, whilst being well behave made me rather happy today. So I leave you with the image everyone was waiting for, the kiss.

The kiss


Peace, love and all that jazz. xo

Sunshine, Daisies, Butter Mellow.....


My favourite colour is yellow, so I thought I'd share my wish list of things I've seen in said colour. (A cookie to who ever gets the blog title ref.)

Ok, technically the kimono jacket is 'brown' according to the River Island website, but when I saw it in store it looked more yellow. I'm a sucker for the Orient. I love the print on it.

That Asos bag is beautiful, but I'll never buy it, it's a lust have!

I'm yet to see the New Look duffle bag in store and I've been waiting to see the bag online for a while, sometimes they just aren't as good in person as the pictures!

I really love the Primark satchel though, I couldn't find it in the Wolverhampton store though, found one on ebay, but I'll probably be outbid, if so I'll check the Birmingham store. I really wish Primark let you buy online!

Barry M is my favourite nail varnish, that one's shade is Lemon Ice Cream. I have an N. Y. C nail varnish, but I've had it for a couple of years now and it's rather empty.

I like all Thierry Mugler perfumes, they're really beautiful, I know I put the RRP on the image but if you go to Cheap Smells you can get it cheaper. I am tempted, but I've never actually smelled this version of Alien, I only know (and love!) the original.

So for now I'll leave you with spme photos of pretty yellow flowers.

Peace, love and all that jazz. xo

Round up

Well, I did do a pretty amazing blog post yesterday about Wrestlemania Revenge, but I have to say, it has been a good bank holiday weekend.

I'm going to start my weekend account on Thursday evening, seeing as that's when Craig came round.

Thursday (aka Thors day - there is a reason for this being mentioned)

I met Craig off the bus in Walsall (my home town btw) so we could go to Game to pick up his pre-order of Mortal Kombat, but he also bought Portal 2. Then we headed to Tesco, this may sound mundane but that store is fucking huge! (It opened in December last year, it stands where my college used to stand.) This supermarket holds most things you'd ever need. I was only after one product, but I'd never looked at their make up selection before.

The Barara Daly makeup range is something I've always wanted to try, after being given an eyeshadow palette for Christmas one year. I adored that palette, hence me no longer having it, I used it to extinction! I ended up buying the Oil-free foundation in the shade porcelain, as I am extremely pale and have a hard time finding a good match for my skin tone. So far I am rather impressed with it, I wore it on Saturday, so I was glad for the SPF12 it contains. It feels rather nice on my skin, too.

I also bought the wonder product that is Garnier Youthful Radiance 2 in 1 Tinted Eye Roll-on in the Fair skin tone. This was the product I was searching for, having read great reviews of it online, and I always have dark circles no matter how much I sleep. So far I'm using it as a concealer, it perks me right up, I love it.

Craig bought a cute white shirt and a rather funky pair of swim shorts for our holiday. I've already told him that the white shirt may find it's way onto my body. The swim shorts have this awesome pattern on them, the base colour is an olive-y green, and it has flowers (lilys I think) and skulls printed on them. He also bought me the cutest pair of owl stud earrings and a cute make up bag.

So I cooked us a pizza and we had ice cream, just day to day nice things that you can take for granted. I may come across as shallow, what with the buying and such, but I never overlook anything.
Craig played Mortal Kombat after dinner, and I played The Sims3 (Outdoor Living), so that was the majority of our evening, until my sister & nephew came to visit, I've never lived with my sister (as I can remember) so I like to see her when she visits, even if all she seems to talk about is Mafia Wars.

Friday (Good Friday- and it was)

Craig and I had a day in, he played more Mortal Kombat and I started tidying up my room, played sims etc. We cuddled, my brother and sister in law came round for a while, we played our games some more. I cooked a Tesco's own Chinese curry for us for dinner, but that sauce was vile, it just tasted wrong, not buying that again! So I did Craig my pot noodle and I didn't have anything else, that sauce was wrong, just wrong. Craig finished Mortal Kombat's storyline and started on Portal 2. I enjoyed watching him play Portal 2 far more! I fell asleep next to him as he played it, I don't remember getting in bed.

Saturday (St George's Day! I've always been on the side of the dragon though)

We ventured into Walsall again, had a little breakfast picnic on a bench in the glorious sunshine before going in search of new Aviator sun glasses for Craig, I'd bought him some for his birthday but I never tried them on, so I didn't realise how weak they were! Couldn't have him walk around in the sun without protection! I actually got him some rather sexy mirrored ones from Asda Living, I also bought my dad a tee shirt for fathers day, even though it's ages away.

I went crazy for nail varnish in Boots, Barry M being my favourite nail varnish, ever! With Miss Sporty not far behind. Boots have a 3 for 2 thing going on, so it was alright really. I bought Barry M nail varnish shades: 313 Dusky Mauve, 296 Coral, 293 Grey and 310 Mushroom. I also bought 2 Barry M lip liners (to make up the 3 for 2 thing) I took the packaging off, so I'm not entirely sure what shade they are, but best bets are Dark Pink(ll2) and Red(ll3). The Miss Sporty nail varnishes I bought were Quick Dry Clubbing Colours in Grape Fit & China Glaze and Lasting Colour in Hypnotic Turquoise. I love the colours.

I also got some storage boxes for my yarn for Tesco.

Back home and Craig played Portal 2 before we headed to his house to get his gig gear.

He played a gig that night at Varsity in Wolverhampton with his band 2nd Side Made and another band, whom they get on so well called Playing With Hammers, there were other bands,I just cant remembertheir names right now. I'll most likely blog about these bands at some point. We made it back to mine before midnight, and we collapsed in bed.

Sunday (EASTER!!!!!!!)

Usually I don't get that excited about Easter, but I'd got a dark chocolate egg this year! First thing we did was get online to watch the episode of Doctor Who we'd missed by being at the gig. Craig finished Portal 2 I did some spring sorting out.

Mom did us a great Sunday lunch ( I had turkey breast om nom nom) whilst mom (and Suzi, our dog) had chicken and dad and Craig had pork chops. I practically cleared my plate, which is rare because I dont find sunday lunches that interesting to eat, after 20 years of them, let's just say I'm bored of them. Craig had sponge pudding & custar after, he looked like a child being given chocolate, he's so cute!

Being the HTML/photoshop master he is, he created this cute header for me and matched the background to it.

Monday (Bank holiday Monday)

It was going to be an uneventful day, until my brother and sister-in-law came round and asked us if we wanted to go see Thor in 3D advanced showing with them! Yes, yes, yes, yes, a thousand times YES! What a bloody good film, I'd like to see it again, but I guess I can wait for Christmas for the DVD!

So concludes this bank holiday weekend.
I'm always sad when Craig goes home, it's difficult not being with him. The world seems a bit duller when he's not with me.

Hope I didn't bore you too much.

Peace, love and all that jazz.

Sunday 24 April 2011

Wrestlemania Revenge

As anyone might know, last weekend (Saturday 16th April) my fiance and myself went to the Wrestlemania Revenge tour in Birmingham. For those who don't know, Wrestlemania Revenge is put on by the WWE, meaning; it's wrestling. The show that was in Birmingham (LG Arena) was a Raw show.

So, it starts in the train station, Birmingham New Street to be exact. The platform was packed and when the train came in we ended up in First Class with standard tickets...... but because the train was so packed, the conducter didn't get to us in time to get the £10 off each of us to bump up our tickets before we got off! Yay!

The queue to get into the arena was massive! Also, a sea of red & purple! Those would be the John Cena fans, two of which included two women.... These women *sigh* they had their purple Cena shirts tied to reveal their navels, tiny shorts, black tights, I'd say 40 denier, and stripper shoes, one had a Cena headband as a garter. I couldn't help, as we walked past them saying: "He can't see you" to Craig, but loud enough to hear, which he laughed....rather amused.

I was, of course, wearing my CORRE shirt, despite them not being there.

Our seats were Block 4 Row U 114& 115, we had a rather decent view of the ring. I did take photos but they weren't the best, so I wont post any here, because it's not the easiest to make them out.

I will say, arena sweets are rather over priced. 2 bottles of cola and 2 packs of sweets came to £9! Usually pay £4 max at a shop.

Back to the wrestling, well it hasn't started yet....

As the arena lights dimmed the crowd went wild, and that was the safety instructions, but as soon as the lovely (and potentially related to me, you never know!) Justin Roberts (ring announcer) stepped into the ring, we some-how got louder! Roberts was ring announcer/bell attendant that night.

First match of the night was a 6 man tag match (3 on 3) scheduled for one fall. Crowd favourites were Santino, Kozlov and Evan 'Air' Bourne, they were against The Uzo's and Tyson Kidd. I do feel sorry for The Uzo's and Kidd, because they are decent wrestlers and they've been jobbing alot lately, these guys are pure wrestling blood, the Uzo's being the twin sons of Rikishi, and Kidd being trained in the Hart family dungeon. Though I am always impressed (and want to mother) little Evan Bourne. He is pure cuteness and skill, and his finisher, Air Bourne (shooting star press) leaves me jaw dropped everytime. When he did it, I screamed, I love it. For me it's up there with Justin Gabriel's 450 splash. Santino & Kozlov are such a great comedy duo, such an odd couple.
Winner: Santino, Kozlov & Bourne

Second match, no one really knew who it was, but Percy Watson got attcked by Primo in a run-in. It was a decent mach, and I cheered despite not knowing who they were at first, because they deserve it, they put theirselves out there each night.
Winner: Percy Watson

The 3rd match was a Diva's match, between the new Diva's Champion Brie Bella and Eve Torres. As ever Brie, just like the cheese, I do not like her, was accompanied to the ring by her twin sister Nicki. The Bella's did their usual Twin Magic, but got caught. I happen to like Eve though, she's a smart diva, also had some impressive pyro and I adore her attire.
Winner: Brie Bella


The 4th match was between Alex Riley, affectionately called A-Ri and......wait for it......... Sin Cara! Sin Cara's entrance is a fave of mine, I love how he bounces into the ring. These two worked really well together in the ring. I actually couldn't believe that Sin Cara was on the tour, because he's so shiny and new to the WWE! He also looks like a Power Ranger. Though I adore A-Ri, due to association with The Miz, and his own charms. His attire is rather fashionable at the moment, what with all these varsity jackets all over the high street.
Winner: Sin Cara


5th Match, and personally my favourite of the night, was a Street Fight (fans choice) between CM Punk and Randy Orton. The reception of the crowd to Orton was insane. Most memorable was CM Punk pleading with the referee about the type of match, also taking the microphone out of Justin Roberts's hands to try and get the audience to change their minds, before saying: "It should have been 2 out of 3, Birmingham" and striking Orton over the head with it, creating an amazing "BOOM" sound. The amount of dirty looks Craig & I got for cheering for Punk was insane. We practically were on the recieving end of them all night. It was a beautiful match, with weapons galore. The finish was the same few moves as ever.
Winner: Randy Orton

I have to say, I wasn't a Punk fan at first, infact refering to him as 'Bitch face' at one stage, but as I've grown up I appreciate him so much more, maybe it's how sarcastic I am, or my sense of humour, but there is just something about Punk that I adore. I do believe that society would be alot better if there were more people like CM Punk and less like Jeff Hardy (don't get me started on him). He may come off as preachy but that's his in-ring gimmick, Punk himself would be a guy I'd want to hang out with. Why? Well, the man knows how to appreciate pizza and ice-cream for one reason alone. I did once dream I had a conversation with him regarding the best ice-cream flavours. I never said it was a normal dream, but for me, that is rather mundane.

After the street fight, Melina (whom I've met in the past) and R-Truth appeared to host a dance off. This didn't interest me too much, as I'd preferred it to have been some of the locker room participating instead of the audience, but I'll just have to go and watch the videos that I favourited on youtube instead. But some little local kid won.

Then there was an intermission and the line for the toilets was a long one, but I just went in the disabled one, seeing as no one was queueing there! I'm telling you this because it's integral to the next part, there's an amusing bit coming up. I'd lost Craig to the Men's loo queue so I went back to my seat. He still hadn't come back when it started again.

The 6th match was between Dolph Ziggler and John Morrison. When Ziggler's music hit I screamed and began to cheer, then after a beat it dawned on me, and I said out loud: "I don't like Dolph" to no one in particular. Craig returned for Morrison to enter the ring. Again this was a decent match, I have no clue why they needed that Snooki, Steeki more like, thing at Wrestlemania. And at this point, 2 days before Raw aired, Ziggler still had blond hair, and I'd been saying for a while that he needed his roots doing.
Winner: John Morrison


The next match was Daniel Bryan versus the new United States Champion, Sheamus. For one thing I couldn't believe how many boo's Bryan got! He's such a nice guy! Craig and I were looking forward to chanting "Daniel Bryan *clap clap clap clap clap*". I guess that Sheamus got so many cheers due to him being from Ireland.
Winner: Sheamus

We arrive at the moment I had been waiting for all night. The Miz versus John Cena. I really think that the Miz is to put it simply, awesome. I really adore him, look up to him etc. I met him the same day I met Melina, he is really cute, he also offered me a chocolate that day, that's something to remember! I've cheered for him ever since. Hell, I watch Blue Peter just for him. He really deserves that title, "not belt, you can get a belt from Target." The Miz

Of course the sea of red and purple made so much noise! I seriously thought I'd get hearing damage. Damn children giving me evil eyes everytime I cheered my hero. Though Cena didn't dissapoint. Alex Riley interfered by hitting Cena with the silver brief case. Yet another great match, and to make things even better the Annonymous Raw General Manager deciding that The Miz and A-Ri should be a tag team against John Cena and Sin Cara! This was an amazing match, I don't think I shut up through it and I did lose my voice.
Winner #1: John Cena by disqualification
Winner #2: John Cena and Sin Cara

Once we'd made our way out of the arena we barely made it onto the train it was so packed! Seeing as it was last train too, we were lucky for squeezing in.

I hate walking across Birmingham city center at close-to-Midnight, full of drunks and letches.

So I'll leave you with the only video I captured that night, Sin Cara's entrance.

Peace, love and all that jazz.

Paignton.

I said I'd do my Wrestlemania Revenge blog next, but I'm so excited about Paignton! It's where Craig and I are going on our holiday this year! Our last holiday was 2009, but it was only a weekend thing really, we went to Camden to see CKY do a gig and browsed the market, we fully intend to return there though, maybe 2012. Anyways, back to Paignton.

British seaside town, that may not sound very exciting, not like say; New Zealand or Florida (both places I intend to visit, mind you) but I used to have so much fun there! Admittedly I haven't been since I was in Year 5 at school, which would make me 10 years old! But, this is my first holiday since 2008 (Ilfracombe with my sister), and mine and Craig's first proper holiday! Also, one of the first times we'll be alone in our bubble, I love our bubble, and no way we'll be interupted *wink wink*, that's not the only reason we're going away though, a break from daily stress, get to play on the beach too!

I am not too old to build sandcastles! Say I am and I'll tell Mommy!

I've always thought that Paignton is so beautiful, it's the "heart" of the English Riviera, so take that France! We're staying at a hotel called "The Berry Hotel" which, by name alone, is rather cute! We're over the road from a pub, for those all important pub meals! Walking distance from a cinema (Pirates of the Caribbean will be on) a walk into town, Subway (for Craig's sanity) and one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen! The pier was pretty damn epic too.

I can't wait to go back there, and write about it, I'll blog my holiday clothes as I pack I guess. So, until then I leave you with this image.

The Weekend's Over

Yes, Wrestlemania Revenge was amazing, but I'll dedicate a whole post to it! Probably tomorrow, just a recap of what when on and my thoughts. It was my first WWE event and I loved it! I did get a shirt and programme though. It's a Miz shirt, he's a fave of mine.
So, as ever I bought a few things. Surprise, surprise.
Start with the products.

Boots
So, I was in dire need of a new hair dryer, mine smells like it's going to blow up at any moment. It's also a real heavy one, gyah! So, I've just bought this little cutie! It is actually purple, not blue. It's by Babyliss. I'm impressed with it, it's small and quite powerful, lightweight too, this means it'll be perfect for when we go on holiday soon!

I bought the Tresemme on recommendation of Lizz, my future sister-in-law, and beauty blogger. It's a heat defense spray. I've been dying my hair since I was 14 years old, now I'm 20, so that's some heavy damage! Lately it's been in better condition as I've fought tooth and claw to get it so, but I do use a hair dryer and straightners alot, so I decided to use this. It makes my hair super shiny and it smells nice!

Hair dryer: £15.29
Tresemme Heat Defense: £4.99
Primark

I saw this bag and just had to have it! It's a hold all, weekend bag, I guess, using this will beat using my shoulder bags to carry everything to my fiance's at the weekend! Also useful for my upcoming holiday! My carry everything in bag! I have a scarf (also Primark) in this pattern, but it's in blue. Also got a cute little bracelet!

Bag: £8
Bracelet: £2.50



HMV
I'm so out of date with music! I've been meaning to get these albums since they came out, uh.....years ago! I like katy Perry's kookiness and Paolo Nutini's voice.

Albums: 2 for £10




Present:

I have an obsession with writer; Rachel Caine. It's newly discovered, her Morganville Vampire series sure as hell beats the Twilight Saga, though my absolute fave series are the Weather Warden ones. My gorgeous fiance, Craig, decided to buy me these books, because I hadn't got them and needed to know what happens next!

And finally!

It's Craig's mommy's birthday tomorrow! So we took her out for a meal, we also bought her a . I camwhored along the way, un edited.

Friday 15 April 2011

Friday.

I'm not going to start singing Rebecca Black. Or am I? No.....yes.......probably.....most likely.

I'm actually rather excited at the moment... I'm going to WRESTLEMANIA REVENGE show tomorrow! In my Corre shirt....I don't think they'll be there though, there's a chance, the tag champs are in Corre......my boys.

Anyway, little post. Just showing you my snackage.
The drink is chocolate milk! Now, I love milkshakes, but I'm not a fan of the chocolate ones. I went to the local shops with my Mom, and she let me have a drink, I was heading for the Sunny D (Florida is the best, they only have Cali by me *sigh*) and I saw this. Mooch. There were 3 flavours and I'd never heard of it, but I love hazelnuts, so I thought I'd try the hazelnut one (there's also mint & original). I have to say, I'm impressed. Also, as I'm on a kind of 'better eating' kick at the moment (I have a holiday coming up) it's less than 1% fat! May I say, OM NOM NOM.
Find them here

Those 'Weirds' were one of my fave sweets as a child, but they're not sour enough. I can't find the super sour apple & cherry lollipops I used to adore.

I bought this from the chemist, it's N.Y.C. Curling Mascara. I got it for £3.99. The last few weeks I've been wearing a mascara from Primark, but this is now a fave, after one usage. It's not clumpy etc. It's a nice coverage that you can build up. I love the packaging too, it has such a curvy body.

And finally, this webite has made my day! They fight crime.
"He's a fast talking small-town cyborg with a passion for fast cars. She's a disco-crazy hip-hop traffic cop who hides her beauty behind a pair of thick-framed spectacles. They fight crime!"

That's all for now, seeing as I've charged my camera, I'll try get some photos tomorrow. Seriously excited!

Peace, love and all that jazz.

Thursday 14 April 2011

Thank you Edge.

Thank you Edge!

If I could be, one of the Smackdown roster coming out to applaud you I would. If I could've been in that crowd, chanting, I would've. You've accomplished so much in the WWE and provided amazing entertainment at the same time. Even the plot lines for you in the video games were amazing.

Sincerly, thank you Edge. Can't wait to see you inducted into HoF.

Shoe Project

It is what it says it is. I love shoes. They could tell of so many daily adventures if they could talk! In college, I did a set of paintings of peoples shoes that day. Didn't ask the subjects though. I just sat on the floor and painted, under a table the once. I'll try did them out and get photos of them.
But recently (backstage at my fiance's last gig) I was bored so I took photos [of most things] and I thought; "Hey! Shoes!"

These are Tristan's shoes. He's a drummer boy. Welsh. That day he accessorised rather well, I was impressed.



These are Kyle's shoes. I actually have the same pair..... CKY Adios. He's the bassist.



These are my fiance's shoes. He plays guitar and sings. I got him into cons, I think.


Ah, these are mine. I am totally in love with these pumps, I have been for a long time. I got them in 2003, I think. Around that time anyway. I love dragons, and oriental styles. Also, isn't oriental in style at the moment? I do believe it is. Seeing as I've had these for years, I can call them vintage? Yes, yes I can.

Haulage

Barry M Nail Effects

OH MY GOD.

I found out about it a few weeks ago, my fiance's sister had bought it and it looked awesome. The their cousin bought it, again awesome. So, I just had to buy it. Bloody glad I did. (I'm English, can't you tell).



My nails are painfully short at the moment, I don't do fake - ever, unless it's my hair, then fake away, and by that I mean colouring. But wow, look at those nails, I frickin love this stuff! I bought it off ebay.co.uk for the £3.99 retail price.

New Look


I've been looking for a wallet for a while now, but none of them have been me, really, until I saw this one, and fell in love, if it is possible to fall in love with a wallet. It has all the things I wanted, which are:
  • pretty
  • has room for cards
  • has the clear window thingy for passport photo of fiance & me
  • room for the monies
Those shoes. I'm a girl, I love shoes. Carrie Bradshaw is my idol. I don't wear heels that often so pumps are where I'm at right now. My current fave colour to wear is that bluey green, so really I got these to match a cardigan I have. They're really cute, and spring colours too.

That top, it's a tad different to what I usually wear, it's oversized and tie front, it's a gamble I guess but I'll wear it with a spaghetti strap vest for fun.

Top: £6.99
Shoes: £12.99
Wallet: £7.99

Asda
Asda, seriously? Yes. I only popped in to buy dog food and coffee. (Kenco, bitch). (Ok, that was really random, now I'm a Kenco gansta', *sigh* I'm a fool).

Couple of things I bought, well actully 4 of the things, but I'm not showing you underwear and jammies, that's extra bub! Really? No, go away and stop being a perv, but the pants are the same pattern as the shoes above. Good lord I think I just channeled the Geekologie Writer! (He's an oddly charming fellow) So yeah, SHOUT OUT TO THE GEEKOLOGIE WRITER, YOU'RE AN AWESOMASAURUS! www.geekologie.com It's how I stay afloat in the sea of knowledge.

Back to the shopping. I wear vests all the time, I'm a layer up kind of girl, and my favourite colour is yellow! Win win. Didn't need it, just wanted it. It's a really nice shade.

The necklace and earrings are clearance bits that I just like the colour of. When I go to my fiance's gigs I generally wear black, so these can cause a colour pop.

The brooch pack is me being patriotic I guess, I'm not the most patriotic (Screw you George, I'm on the dragon's side. TEAM DRAGON!) But It's the royal wedding, so why not? But that badge pack cost a fiver so the Royal's have ripped me off. I like the one that represents the engagement ring, there's so many of that style jewelry around at the moment.

At a cross roads I guess.

This blog was for uni work, but I've gave that in. I couldn't do it any more, I can't put myself through daily panic attacks, or sleepless nights over a course that I'm just not into anymore. I've ran away from it really, just slipped out the bathroom window, if you will.

I'm just not the girl I was when I applied. Seriously, when I applied for university I was swoop fringed, excessive eyeliner, baggy jeans, skate shoes, tshirts, piercings and tattoos. Well, the majority of those have gone. I'd say look at my myspace for that evidence, but I deleted it. I also had an eating disorder, un-diagnosed, but when you can't look in a mirror, starve yourself and throw up what you do eat, well it is what it is.

I haven't had a tattoo since I was 18, I do miss that, but I dont want those elaborate sleeves, they're cool, but not on me. I took out the majority of my piercings, my dad used pliers to get a couple of them out - not kidding, he rather enjoyed it.

I guess this has all come from the love of a good man. A great man. The most perfect man. I think I'll big him up in a seperate blog post. We're engaged, he proposed to me on Christmas Eve 2010, as I was ordeing pizza, making something routine terribly romantic. I still get the warm fuzzies whenever I order pizza.
In all honesty, I just want a life with him. I want a house to live in and call a home to share with him.
And I'm terribly broody - no shit. Thing is, he is too, it's the tiny shoes that get him, me, well it's just me being maternal. But no baby until there's a stable home for the baby. Actually it's:
Home > Wedding > Baby
in that order, he's old fashioned, wants to do it 'right'. I applaud him for it. Admire him for it.

So atm I have no clue what I'm doing, apart from helping my mom out, who is generally ill most days, running errands, that sort of thing.

Ah well, uni isn't for everyone.
