That's what i've been! I have a job as a Santa photographer and have been flat out. When i'm not calming down children and taking happy snaps i'm playing Sims3, wrapping presents, fixing my quilt and altering petticoats. So busy. I'm sure nobody really cares whether i update this or not so i don't think i will for a while!I'm gonna go take a nap. Ex-hausted.

Quite a few things have happened since i last updated! I finished all my assignments for Uni and started studying for my exams. Then on the 11th i had a pretty awesome birthday, with some really awesome people. Milly (pictured centre) and Alex got me Harry Potter lego, which is the first lego i've ever owned!  Caitlin bought me a TARDIS mug, and i got a lot of tea from Lana.

You know the one i mean. The bright red dolman sleeved number she wears in Flesh and stone/Time of angels. The one she is most commonly depicted wearing.

That title may end up being completely unrelated, i have no idea, i haven't finished writing this post yet. In fact, believe it or not, i am actually only 30 words in. Crazy huh? Anyway, i just adjusted my sitting position on the couch ready to write this and a muscle in my back* just went "lol nope" and it really flipping hurts. A quick explanation as to why i missed a few weeks of blogging;

I am not going to be private or discreet over this. It's my party blog I can cry if write what I want to. In the last few weeks of my "relationship"* with my last boyfriend I suspected that he fancied someone else, who is probably rather lovely. I ignored this hunch of course, thinking that I could trust him to be honest with me. Oh how wrong I was. He will deny it and say that wasn't the case,

Distance is horrible. Being really far away from someone you care about makes everything ten times harder. I can't do LDR's anymore. I really.. i can't write at the moment. Here, have a youtube video i rather like.. And we shall say no more on the subject.

It has been well over a week since my last post and for that i am sorry. A lot has happened, however not a lot that i can blog about. Does that make sense? I could quite easily rant about certain social events which took place in my (usually mundane) life over the past week, but it would turn into a bitch-fest. I would be led to write some really hurtful things and then people would read them and

We had a full day workshop on Epidemiology today. We then broke off into groups to research and then present on a topic. My friends and i chose Erectile Dysfunction. And oh my god, i couldn't do it, i was in a fit of giggles and i couldn't control myself. Ash decided to try and ease my pain and spoke while i was trying to calm down but then he said "so if you want to get into some Hanky Panky

I'm one to be fascinated by the small differences in the world. Someone's quirks, their actions, the way old buildings are drowned out by tall, bland flat things with no detail... you name it. Small details that often get overlooked. I can't resist them. I'm not always alert to the small details, to the little things, i often get distracted or i'm too busy. From time to time though i'll catch

Quite a lot of interesting or blog-worthy things happened today!The first is simply an awkward situation i had at work. I realise i have never mentioned this on my blog before but at the ice rink where i work i often get regular customers, but that's usually young kids who like to follow me around quizzing me on Harry Potter, so i'm not complaining! Though we have one regular who used to skate

Except i call them dungarees, but it seems i am the only person left in my age group who does so, therefore i translated the title for you all.  I cut the legs shorter and then attacked them with sandpaper, though you can't tell because of the webcam quality. After which i soaked them in diluted bleach, though i think i diluted it a bit too much because they still look quite dark to me. (

There is just something about dresses that i love. I have always loved dresses, even when i was going through that moody, pre-pubescent "i will wear only baggy, black clothing" phase. I was just in denial. We have what i like to call a progress report from when i was little, and it says that my favourite activity is to "twirl about in frilly dresses" which is still true today. I have several

Sorry for not blogging or whatever. Only two or three people read this so i don't know why i'm even bothering. "Gilbert darling, don't lets ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins!"  Do you know what i'm afraid of?

So i finally got around to uploading the vlog i recorded last month, it's really quite terrible but is better than nothing! So far this year i have tried countless different types of herbal tea, but i still want more suggestions! So go leave me a comment with your top three teas that you would recommend and i'll try them out :) Not much more from me today i'm afraid, i am really very ill and

This cold is not getting better, it is getting worse. I have a feeling that i'll be spending my entire day in bed, reading and attempting to start my first assignment for this semester... but it's not due until Monday and we all know what i'm like. Slightly, well, completely off topic, but i think Michelle Dockery was a perfect casting choice for Susan Sto Helit in the TV movie of Hogfather. I

I am really terrible at listening in lectures. I'm in one right now, and the lecturer is really interesting but i am just too tired! I have decided that i need to spend more time at home studying, as well as paying attention in classes or lectures, because currently all i do at home is tumblr and facebook and general social interaction type things. This, of course, is not at all good for my

Well look what we have here; blogging two days in a row? Madness! So i am currently sitting on a train on my way home. I just had my regular Cocolat visit with my Monday buddies, i had another French Earl Grey tea this week, last week i tried to mix it up and had an Iced Coffee, but it was huuuuge and was all i had for that entire day so it left me feeling really sick. Tea over coffee for me,

Look, it's Sunday not Monday therefore it has not been an entire week since i last posted. Shut up don't give me that. So i decided last night that i am actually going to do my Nursing homework this semester and see if that can get me some motherfezzing distinctions.

I couldn't think of an appropriate title, can you tell? So i'm sitting here sipping a Horlick's and listening to some 60s music whilst mum dances about the kitchen, singing along. My past week hasn't been particularly eventful, except for the fact that i kind of might have a boyfriend now. Which is very nice! At work on Sunday this bloke came in again, he stares at me a lot and follows me

This, here today, is the best day i have had in a while, and i have only been up for 2 hours. I woke up to sunshine, and i am now sitting outside, sunbathing, in the middle of Winter. I am about to finish the last 30 pages of Anne of Windy Willows and then go inside and have some porridge. It is currently 22º but it'll be anywhere up to 28º today and that is lovely weather. My favourite weather.

I no longer care that my blog is not exactly a book blog, it will become one for this instance because i am possibly in love with the book i am currently having the pleasure to read.  Prior warning; this post is about 1,600 words long, sorry about that. Anne of Windy Willows, by L.M.Montgomery. So, a recently engaged Anne is living in Summerside at a residence aptly named Windy Willows, and

So today was adventure day! Firstly i dragged Lana to unilife to try and sell one of my text books from last year but it turns out they have since changed the required texts for the course so i couldn't sell it :/ Then we went to the art gallery and the museum, which was a lot of fun! After that we visited the T-bar and drank orange pekoe tea. It was very nice. Then we; - tried on hats in
