thoughts on reading festival 2009:

radiohead were incredible.

i've never spent so much money on water.

i love my new floral headband, my feather headband was a hit.

i am in love with karen o.

disney sing-a-longs are great to pass the time.

you can get anything on a t-shirt there, even barack obama.

i was stupid enough to think you were different.

natalie is the greatest celebrity spotter EVER.

meeting bonnie who plays ginny wealsy was crazy.

washing my hair on the saturday was entertaining.

laura, natalie, christina are the greatest people to spend time with at a festival.

freebies always go down well at festivals.

camping with the twins always makes for great memories.

• Lorelai: I was just trying to remember the first time we met. It must have been at Luke's, right?
• Luke: It was at Luke's, it was at lunch, it was a very busy day. The place was packed. And this person...
• Lorelai: Oh, is it me? Is it me?
• Luke: This person comes tearing into the place, in a caffeine frenzy...
• Lorelai: Ooh, it's me!
• Luke: I'm with a customer, she interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee. So I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what. Finally I turn to her, and tell her she's being annoying. Sit down, shut up, and I'll get to her when I get to her.
• Lorelai: You know, I bet she took that very well, 'cause she sounds just delightful...
• Luke: She asked me my birthday. I wouldn't tell her, she wouldn't stop talking, finally I gave in. I told her my birthday. She went and got the newspaper, opened it up to the horoscopes page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me. So I was looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under Scorpio, she had written You will meet an annoying woman. Give her coffee, and she'll go away. So I gave her coffee.
• Lorelai: But she didn't go away!
• Luke: She told me to hold onto that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and one day it would bring me luck.
• Lorelai: Boy, I will say anything for a cup of coffee! I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? You kept this in your wallet...
• Luke: Eight years.
• Lorelai: Eight years...

reading festival is starting in three days. i'd be lying if i said i was excited because of the bands, (well i am) i'm mostly excited about who i'll be spending my time with, christina, natalie, david, the twins, laura and pheobe. this weekend will be just what i needed, a brake from doing nothing.

it is to hot for me to sleep, so i have come up with the following activities : watch juno, dance around to the hey arnold theme tune, watch the hey arnold movie, finish one of my five current books, have some special k.

what do you think? some input would be nice.

Phuket Thailand.

i'm playing the waiting game at the moment. i've played before, and will no doubt play again.

my reading car park ticket arrived the other day, now i just need to wait for the ticket to arrive. i'm looking forward to this year's festival, as well i won't be ill this time round (i hope so).

i've been using this new shampoo and my hair is really soft. i like it.

'all of this just for one night of feeling' i'd prefer more than just one night, but at this rate i'm not even going to get one with you.

i wish i was american, and that i lived somewhere near the sea, and that i shopped in target, and that i would read under a tree in my garden (with a tire swing). american teenagers don't seem to worry about things like money. or things to do. take me to america please.

after watching 'how to be' i began a search for more indie films. i always get like this after watching a really good independent/indie film. i got this way after seeing lost in translation and a handful of others. after film discussions with natalie and sophie, as well as searching the internet, i have a list of over twenty films. it keep's growing as well. watching films seems to be on my itinerary for the next four weeks. lovely. 

i'm glad sophie is back, from where ever she went to. i missed her blogs. and our random comments to each other on twitter or facebook.

i received a list of blood donation sessions today, the next one closest to me is on the 27th of this month, i'd go to it if i wasn't going to reading. i shall have to go to another session.

better luck next time.

simply beautiful

currently listening - sleepyhead, passion pit

went to london today to return a book i secretly read on the way home on tuesday. my reason for return 'my boyfriend already had a copy' i have no boyfriend. they'll never know.

i'm off to jen's birthday picnic film thing, au revoir.

(jen's birthday postcard i made)

i look like this in the morning.

i like my nail varnish.

currently listening - broken, lighthouse

i found this in my room the other day. (great day)

currently listening - take my heart, soko

stolen from ian's blog :

A guy was walking through new york and someone covered his eyes and said "guess who". this guy then turned round to see bill murray standing there, bill murray said "...noone is going to believe you" and walked away.

i'd love to meet bill murray. lost in translation is one of my top five.

i'm off to look at the skies.

finger prints are a bitch.

currently listening - tiny vessels, death cab for cutie

why is it that i really got into polaroids after they had stopped making them? the world is cruel. however in a way, it does make me think more carefully of how i will use the remaining film i have left.

i went to london today to see coco before chanel. i loved every second of that movie. my cinema buddy was jess. i was late coming into london, due to a mystery person on the tracks, so i catched the oxford tube and just about made it before the film started. we had a wagamama after, obviously. also bumped into nat, helen and tasha on two separate occasions. all in all a good day.

as much as i hate to say this, katy perry had it right. you're hot then you're cold.

"it's like my life isn't even real to me, unless you're there, and you're in it, and i'm sharing it with you." i love love love gilmore girls. i would marry luke danes if possible.

"You know what we need? Chairs with like wheels..." "You mean a wheelchair?" I had the best time at work today. it wasn't half bad, i need the money. i've realised now that even if i hate my job, i can't turn down overtime if i want the money. now with this thinking in mind, the past four shifts i've had have been a blast compared to every other shift for the past month or so. i need the money to buy as many cameras as i can. i think it's likely i'm going to collect as many polaroid cameras as i can, working or not. i'm starting to do something with my life.

photography and cabin crew, thats my aim.

(don't do this, you've had years. think of her. i'm just around the corner, if you want me as a friend. nothing more.)

i need to stop drinking this. 

five litres in three days is a bit crazy.

i found this on my old computer, this was august 2006. 

times gone by fast.

i've spent the last three and a half hours watching gossip girl. and i have now forgotten what i was going to say. ever so sorry dears.

oh i remember one thing. i really really really want Paper Heart to be out now please. i purchased the soundtrack from itunes last night, typo on itunes behalf as it's under 'paper hear'.  take me to see it once it's out.

my sister's keeper (started today)

on the road (1/4 read)

harry potter and the deathly hallows (over half way) - second time 

one day (1/3 read)

new moon (chapter four) - third time

these are the books i am currently reading. i wish there wasn't so many books out there that i wanted to read, this way i'd get away with reading one at a time. 

polaroid film arrived today, when i had a strong feeling something else would of instead. i guess sometime instincts are wrong. there's always tomorrow.

i have pretty much planned out what clothes i am taking to reading, along with how i am going to have my hair while there. 

2x black knee high socks

2x black tights

2x stripy t-shirts

2x flannel shirts

2x vest tops

1x denim shorts

1x wellies

1x white converse

too much spare time you say? i agree. someone give me a nine to five weekday job, PLEASE.

i'm about to watch 'twilight' for the 1000th time? just so i can recap before i start to re-read new moon. don't get me wrong i love the book, but i find once i've watched the film for a book, it takes longer for me to read it. strange. i think the main reason i like reading the twilight saga is that i prefer being in bella's world than my own. after all, who could resist edward cullen?

last night the girls (being christina, natalie and helen) and i, finally had our x-men day. during the third film, natalie, in between explaining to helen why i was crying at the fact that jean grey and scott where both dead, she said something, which is utterly and completely true about me.

i don't believe in heaven or hell, i believe in love. hopefully someday soon i will have my confidence restored as to why i believe in it.

this film is beautiful.

i have work in 44 minutes, that means i have 25 minutes to get ready, including washing my hair, preparing my face for the world to see and finding something to eat.

i do not like mornings, unless they are followed by an amazing day. not today my friends, just wallis and back home again. i'm thinking of picking up my favourite book to read when i get home, y'know escape this endless life and live in someone else's for a while.
