10:53 pm Ooh, Carrie inspired me to do an update. In similar circumstances I haven't updated for a long while. Things happened. I did my work placement, we went to truck, Iain and I went to Corfu. The holiday was amazing. There are lots of pictures, mainly of the turquoise sea. There's a stunning one of Iain with a pirate looking over his shoulder though, it'll probably end up on the 'space. I miss swimming and sunbathing with my boy. In less than a month I move to Paris. I feel like im in a plane ten thousand feet in the air with a parachute on my back and although I have a rushing urge to jump, I can't quite push myself. I think I need someone to push me. I am also 21 in exactly one month and two days. I cannot wait to get my canon. Its a fucking beauty. Im going to be living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with endless photographic subjects. I can't fucking wait. I think its the whole all lectures in french thing that is freaking me out. Oh and the fact that I know jack shit about french law. Eep. Iain and I went to a beautiful wedding yesterday. The whole day was pretty perfect, right down to our colour co-ordinated outfits :) We also had our first slow dance. AAAAAH. Im not sure if its cute or a little scary that we have most of our wedding and honeymoon planned out. Even right down to our first dance. It kind of makes me want to run as fast as I can in the opposite direction. Haha. Its made me well look forward to Rhiannon's wedding though. We're going to order her wedding dress on Saturday :) I may even try my dream dress on (but ssshh don't tell Iain). Its my parent's 30th wedding anniversary tomorrow, I hope in 30 years time I will still be that in love. Ok. Im pretty whacked. Night all xxx

09:36 pm Soooo. What has happened in the last two weeks? I've been working a lot which is good, but boring but good cos of the money like. Iain and I are going on holiday to Corfu which will be so so amazing. I just want a nice relaxing, sun bathing holiday with maybe a bit of sightseeing thrown in . We're getting up early to go to the travel agents in the morn to sort it hopefully :) It also means I will be BROWN for the wedding! Talking of holidays and the sort, Rhiannon and I went to the South of France at the weekend to surprise Daddio for Father's day. Literally we are the best daughters ever. He was so shocked when he saw us and he had a little cry. Hehe. We went to the Cezanne exhibition in Aix which was pretty amazing, he's one of my favourite impressionists I think. Then we spent the rest of the weekend sunbathing by the pool and eating lots of lovely french food. I love France. Im going to take long weekend trips to the south next year I think. Little has happened since this. Apart from I have slept a lot. Uni ends next week and I don't want to leave :( Ho hum. Desperate Housewives finale in 10 minutes. AWESOME! xxx Current Mood: busy Current Music: Ben Folds - The Luckiest

09:41 pm Bleurgh. Why is it that now it is lovely and sunny and warm outside, am i stuck inside feeling shitty and ill? Having colds in summer is clearly NOT fair. Whats worse is I haven't been able to go to work for the past few days so now im going to be poor. Iain has been a star though, keeping me topped up on sudafed and tissues and lucozade and even clearing up my disturbingly orange sick. Man it must be love... It also means im missing a silver mount fucking zion tonight. Grr. On the upside, mummeh has lent me her car until the end of term so it is pretty much road trip central. Iain and I are going for a picnic tomorrow and then to Brizzle for Jonah on Thursday and then Thorpe Park next week! Im so dragging him on the biggest roller coaster i can find :) Aside from this, I am doing little which is nice but at times rather boring. 15 minutes til LOST! xxx Current Mood: groggy Current Music: The Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood #4 (Tunnels)

08:31 pm I haven't updated properly in a good few months. Lots of things have happened, some good, some bad, some really really bad, but thats all done now and I don't really want to go into it. Lets talk about today, AND THE END OF MY EXAMS! I'm so happy. I am now officially free until the end of September (barring re-sits). I have so much I want to do. I want to go to Singapore and Corfu and Cornwall and pretty much everywhere I can. Im not going to waste this holiday. I need to spend every spare second with my friends and Iain before everything changes next year. Before I move to Paris. Eep. Im going to embrace this change though and not get scared like I normally do. Its going to be amazing. I got a little drunk on vodka and champagne even before the clock struck midday today. Im not sure early drinking is a good idea, the hangover ensues much sooner than expected. I then went into town and tried desperatly to spend some money on random clothes and accessories. I had some success but not enough I feel, so its back in again tomorrow morning. I want a hair cut. My hair is in that stupid in-betweeny-not-short-but-not-long stage. I might get it done next week. Im going to work like a bitch for the rest of the term and earn mega bucks so I can live like a queen. Awesome. Im going to go and do nothing now. Thats right, you heard. xxx Current Mood: jubilant Current Music: Bright Eyes - The Movement of a Hand

11:24 pm So...being back at home is fun. Despite the fact that the majority of it has been spent either doing my essay or revising or avoiding the former. The weekend (starting on friday at 6.15pm)was lots of fun. Rhiannon's engagement party went really well and I rocked the polka dot dress to good effect(i hope). There has never been so many drunk Welsh people in our house before. Or Welsh people at that. Although I did spend the majority of the time hiding in the Kitchen because they were super-scary. Iain and I are so getting engaged and running off with the money! Sunday was Mother's Day. But it was also the one year anniversary of the day I finally won Iain over and the Gods looked down on me and thought they'd give me a break for once :) Safe to say this has been the happiest and most loved year of my life so far. Thank you. He is everything to me and I don't even have to try and explain, he just understands. Anyway, now he is gone which makes me miserable but at least I can get some revison done eh? I have had excrutiating stomach pain for the past 48 hours. It can fuck off. And so to bed...x Current Mood: nauseated

05:12 pm I had my hair cut. I have a fringe. I now resemble a 6 year old me/uma thurman in pulp fiction. OH WELL. This week has been somewhat stressful. Organising accomodation in Paris is NOT FUN. However, there may be a trip to paris on the cards for me and mummeh in Easter. Its a hard life, but someones got to live it. I have also spent copious amounts of time photocopying books on voter turnout in UK elections. I am a physics student. Honest. Tomorrow is the last day of term. I cannot believe its gone so quickly. I have 7 weeks to revise and do a whole writing credit module. Shit! Its Rhiannon's engagement party next week and I am so excited. Purely for the reason I get to wear my new dress. Its navy blue with white polka dots. I can't wait :) I need to think of something exciting to cook for dinner. I cooked toad a la hole on Tuesday. It was fucking amazing. Batter and everything. I best go. Evil Harold is just too tempting to miss. xxx Current Music: Bloc Party - She's Hearing Voices

07:13 pm - This is one minute you will never get back... Wow. Death cab were absolutely amazing. They blew me away. Ben's voice live is just a million million times better than on a record and he had so much more energy than I could ever have imagined. Everything they played seemed to fit just perfectly. From singing my heart out, clapping and dancing to being close to tears. I just didn't want it to end. I don't think I actually realised how much they meant to me until I was stood there surrounded by so many people I love and felt absolutely infinite. The high still hasn't ended. I can't stop listening to them. I need to get to Brixton on 28th June and I need EVERYONE to come with me. xxx Current Mood: infinite Current Music: Death Cab For Cutie-Something about Airplanes

11:53 pm OH. It's a bad thing that the last few times I've updated this thing I've been in a rubbish mood. Actually scrap that, im not in a bad mood. I just feel icky. How can gin be so mean to me when I love it so? Oh for the days of my youth when I wasn't plagued with such hangovers and I could hop out of bed the next morning fresh as a daisy. Simon's shindig was FUN. There was lots of laughs and general cavorting. Iain can't remember any of it though because he had his head stuck down the toilet for a large portion of the night. Lightweight! I really am feeling it today though. Im staying up late to wait for Iain to get home so we can have a cuddle. I think tomorrow we shall spend a while in bed and then maybe have a lazy day. I don't know, I feel like doing something. Maybe we could go for a walk if its a nice day. I'm trying my hardest not to stress about things. I wish I wasn't such a control freak. OHMYGOD. Truck tickets, I must must buy them tomorrow. And everyone else should get tickets too! Especially you Carrie. I think I might go and do a sudoku. xxx

04:38 pm My head is all muddled. We had a meeting about going to Paris today. A lot of the stuff made sense such as the erasmus grant etc. Im really confused about accomodation though. We were given a list of possible places and one of them looks really good. I just don't understand technical french housing speak so I have no idea what anything says or what I need to do. ARRRRGGGHH. I just want it to be all sorted so I don't have to worry about it. I also wish french unis were more fucking organised. It'd be nice before I go to actually know what the term dates are. Yeah cheers. Fucking bureacrats! I also wish I could actually speak french. Anyway. Lets stop talking about that now before my head spontaneously combusts. The weekend was fun. My grandad is looking really thin :s Trying on bridesmaids dresses was VERY FUN. We found a really lovely one, wasn't so keen on the pink/green colour scheme of it though. Hopefully we can change it. The Go! Team was well good, lots of dancing and the sort. I missed Iain lots but we're back together again now. TILLY AND THAT WALL again tomorrow. Im well excited. Going to wear my new dress !!! I was going to give up chocolate for lent. Then I thought about it again and decided I am in no way religious so why should I do things for religious festivals? Apart from pancake day of course cos thats just allowed. So now, im not giving up and am just going to majorly cut down on all the crap I eat. And I promise promise promise I will join the gym this week. This spare tyre aint gonna shift itself. I think thats all. Death cab next week!!! x Current Mood: confused Current Music: DCFC - I will follow you into the dark

09:04 pm Bleurgh. If I could sum myself up with one word tonight it'd probably be that. Everyone has gone out and I decided to stay in. I don't know, I half wanted to and half didn't and now im kind of at a loss with what to do with myself. I could be mega good and do some application forms for vacation placements but im not sure I want to be all up myself and bum sucking right now. I could also tidy up my room, do a bit of dusting and change my bed. Oh the choices. I spent a wasted hour watching 'Just the Two of Us', I know that. I always get sucked in, always. Iain isn't even here to give me a cuddle. BUT I do get to see Rhiannon tomorrow which Im looking forward to. We haven't had a catch up in aaaaaaaggggeeesss. We're going to try bridesmaid dresses on on Saturday. Its exciting. Hopefully I won't be too fat to fit in them. Im planning on losing half a stone before the wedding. It shouldn't be too difficult. I want to be toned :) Right, Im going to do at least one productive thing before I hit the sack. x Current Mood: Bleurgh Current Music: The Go! Team - The Power Is On

02:20 pm I promised myself I would do this. Im lazy lazy lazy and don't update nearly enough. I would go through the whole rigmarole of updating the past two months, suffice to say it was ace. Probably the most exciting things were spending Christmas with Iain and Rhiannon getting engaged and ME being head bridesmaid :) There's lots of things to look forward to anyway. I've finally finished all my essays. I feel like I need a break from work but I really can't stop. I have a stupid writing credit module to do and revision for exams. I've been to so many good gigs recently. There was Jenny Lewis and meeting Si :) and then Tilly and the Wall who are just mindblowingly amazing. They make me so damn happy. Handclaps and tap dancing and singing out loud can be beaten by nothing ever ever. Iain and I are going to see them again next week. I seriously can't wait. Then I've got the Go Team on Friday and Death Cab in a few weeks and Iron and Wine a few weeks after that and maybe Broken Social Scene a few weeks after that. Awesome. Life is looking good and I love it. I love how its light in the morning even more. It pushes me out of bed and actually makes me want to get up and go. Wasting time in bed needs to end. Any other thoughts right now are escaping me. Until next time kiddos x Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Stars - The First Five Times
