The Verdict

PS. Am SO excited to see this!!!!!!!!!

The Chop

So I have decided to get a fringe and my hairdresser is coming tomorrow so wish me luck!

Today was ok - woke up, watched Veronica Mars, showered, had a fight with sister, did homework, had lunch, went to college. English Language I just spent laughing with and generally distracting Kirsty from her work... One of our English teachers is a complete PATRONISING IDIOT, so don't worry Kirsty! I gave out lots of 'mini cupcakes' because my mum is still practising and we have all eaten too many so I needed to give them to some people haha. A lot of classmates are really surprised when I say:
"Does anyone want a cupcake?"


[one of my mum's cupcakes - delicious!]

Which just goes to show that generosity isn't common anymore...

By the way, is anyone excited for Halloween? I kind of love it. Last year I invited all my new college friends to a mini party and convinced them all that at the end of my living room there was a guy hiding behind my sofa, under the table-tennis table. They believed (mostly because I turned the lights off and said: "It's ok, they're a bit scared - don't come out yet) and it was hilarious. I must be good liar... Here are some photos from last year:




I'm not sure what we're doing this year - maybe going up London? I also want to watch some kind of horror film [I would LOVE to see Nightmare on Elmstreet, for the two simple reasons that it looks good; and it stars Kyle Gallner :p]. It's unfortunate that both Sophie and Ambra will be working :(.

But on to the important stuff: the costume. Last year I was an Evil Widow, the year before a Cat but this year I will [hopefully] be... Cleopatra. If we're going up London we'll be in our coats, so the costume will be simple: decorate just your head. I have my A Level Literature class to thank for my Halloween inspiration - we're currently studying Antony & Cleopatra by Shakespeare.


What are you going as this year?

Have had such a busy week! Went round Kirsty's yesterday and it was hilarious. We spent pretty much the whole day on the laptop looking at funny videos/ dribbling over celeb crushes (btw have found a replacement for Topher Grace - Kyle Gallner. :p) We ate chocolate muffins and then tried to take a photo of ourselves doing a Herbal Essences hair flip. Don't ask why - I don't even know!




Tomorrow all us lucky ladies at college get our HPV jabs. Yay! Injections. Not. I'm ok with needles etc; it's just the waiting around for it that I hate.

Ooh, and I have decided to get a fringe. I know, I know. I'll probably grow it out, but what the hell - you only live once, right? [Ok, don't really know how this justifies why I should get a haircut, but whatever...] Will take some photos after Thursday to show you how it turns out (fingers crossed).



On a side note, am currently watching this:

Now I usually love College Humor. But this is just harsh (still made me laugh though!)

To fringe or not to fringe?

Also known as 'bangs' to you super cool Americans, I am forming a decision.

I may get a fringe!

*alert* *alert*

Here's the story***. I have battled with this inner urge to get a fringe all my freaking life, having had one cut in (slowly followed by strenuous exercises of trying to grow it out) about 4 or 5 times in my life. Even my hair dresser is starting to wonder if I'm some kind of hair-scizophrenic... [haha! Take that english coursework - I just used a hyphenated adjective even though I didn't need to..]

I'm currently sick of my hair. I feel like I'm starting to look like one of those grunge type drummers that have curtains as their chosen look... So I want something different. Seeing as though a side fringe accentuates my hamster cheeks [so I'm skinny everywhere else - how does having chubba -yes chubba- cheeks make sense?] I thought - why not get a full but light not heavy fringe put in?

But then my face gets shiny quick so will grease my hair quicker. AHHHH - dilemma!!!

So to fringe or not to fringe?? TELL ME THE ANSWER.



so y'all know I'll get a fringe anyway and will totally hate it..



*** = of a lovely lady, with 3 lovely girls of blonde hair... or something of that sort - bonus points if you guess what theme tune I was trying to remember...

Cinema, Ebay and Shopping

So over the last three days I have:

1. Gone to the Cinema avec Courtney, Sophie, Debra, Ambra, Kirsty, Dawn :) We were incredibly indecisive and after going to sainsburys, coming back and waiting for Courtney to arrive we STILL couldn't decide. It was a flick between Night at the Museum 2, Drag me to hell ("NO!!!" - Kirsty), or Last Chance Harvey (I said a big NO to this one - saw a clip of it on Jonathan Ross and it looks cringey and - quite frankly - crap). And then X-Men Origins: Wolverine got thrown into the mix and we were like: YES. I've already seen it before but love it so much I encouraged this choice A LOT. Plus, I don't mind giving money to the genuinely nice Hugh Jackman. It was brilliant and I even picked up the line of "I'm the best at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice" which might not mean anything to you, but I watched a parody on youtube the other day which mentionded this. The girl kept saying to him - "So what do you do?" and he keeps repeating the line above. It's quite funny :)
   
   


2. The second out of these past three marvellous days I've had was spent Ebaying :). That's right - I earned £15 this week :). I wrapped up the items and posted them today - hope they arrive safely :)

As you can see my room is becoming quite consumed with this here lil business:

3. And then today I went shopping avec Megz and had a great time. We shopped around, debated what to buy and then ate some DELICIOUS food in BHS (sandwhiches, sausage rolls, cookies and danish pastry with mouthwatering melting icing adorned on it's surface. Um..yum anyone...???!) Megan got the black shoes and sunglasses she wanted whilst I bought a hat. For any of you people of the dark hair know how easy it is to get sunstroke in the sun (it happened to moi last week) because our hair is so bloody dark and it attracts the sun. This therefore gives me justification on buying a £16 hat. But it's so darn cute!! Also, when I got home a package had arrived and my mum had treated me to eyeko cream and lip balm !! YES!

A pretty fabulous three days, I have to say.

Love and Danish Pastries,
