LET'S RING IN SOME HONESTYWITH THE NEW YEARTHE MEME

I finally got around to seeing Twilight. Which was actually surprisingly good - I think my expectations were lowered so much that I in fact really enjoyed the film. Yes, it was stupid and sappy and the ending was quite frankly pathetic, but I liked the high school scenes, I thought Mike and Eric and ( Read more... )

I welcome the Christmas holidays with open arms. It means I get sleep for the first time in four months. Much work to do though... It's scary to think that I'm a whole third of the year through year 12... And a sixth of the way through sixth form.

The Rules
Shuffle your ipod, pick 5 songs and look for them on YouTube. ( Read more... )

I'm such a productive little Christmas shopper. :)

I now have presents for The Mother and The Brother and I am planning on buying The Father this nice little thing (my parents are both vicars, that's why it's funny). That only leaves homemade truffles for The Grandmother (has anyone got a good truffle/something of that vein recipe) and something for ( Read more... )

THE PLAY IS OVER. The final performance was Friday and now it's ooooover. Which is such a relief, I can relax now, and go home after school, and actually have weekends. I will miss rehearsals, though. This is the closest I've ever felt to a cast, everyone was brilliant and we just all sat around having fun.

After we all went to an after party. Which ( Read more... )

Since the day-long school play rehearsals started, I have been living in a world of perpetual twilight. I get to school before the sun rises and leave after it sets. While I'm there, they don't let us out of the building and all the windows in the Hall have been blacked-out. I haven't actually been out in sunlight for days - I need Vitamin D! I'm ( Read more... )

Heaven right now would be

Me.
Sitting in bed.
With a massive duvet.
And an endlessly refilling mug of tea.
Reading anything that is not Washington Square (I feel like I've been reading it for most of my natural life. Damn you English reading list!).
Soft jazz playing in the background.
With a cat.
Knowing that the next day I don't have to get up at all.

I'm ( Read more... )

Robert Pattinson totally has Stephenie Meyer's number. About three minutes into this video HE HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

He says she's crazy AGAIN. And his hair is INSANE.

Yeah, there are so many Twilight linkspams coming from the awesome cleolinda .

I love these drawings so much. AND IT'S SO TRUE.

Seriously, they should be used as teaching aids.

And I love this ( Read more... )
