instagram #11 - This Week

 War Horse House adventures.

 Discovered the PhotoGrid app - Hanging out with my gang.

If I was to say things weren't going to plan, would that be the right definition? I won't wax lyrically about my woes but lets just say I REALLY HATE having a car sometimes, you know, when insurance time rolls around (this time of year,) and M.O.T rolls around (also this time of year, but thankfully, last month,) - I'd worked pretty damn hard saving some cash and now it's all gone...

Not to mention my laptop is now saying it hates wi-fi so I'm pretty surprised I am able to post this at all! I had nearly given up altogether of posting this weekend until I managed to spy a mystical three-bar signal! Huzzah! 

And breath, Sophie.

A new writing course starts on Monday, which I'm looking forward to. Something to pass the time until September time when another course starts up again, for realz. I'm also studying creative writing on the side, you know, just for the giggles.

The point I am trying to make - I suppose, let's not worry about money. Let's just be happy and do what we love. Yeah? Cool. 

Peace!

P.s, posting some 'short films' I have been in tomorrow - so don't forget to come back and look! :)

Well...

First of all, Happy Monday to you all! Secondly, an apology. I do believe this has been my longest absence so far, so I am sorry. Would you actually believe I am on my second cold/flu/bug thing within the same three weeks? How is that fair? Ha! I am not alone though, the boyfriend has also had two lots of it and now my work mates are going down like flies too. In any case the thought of looking at a screen has my eyes watering even now, hence the absence.

Obviously this week I'd like to shake this bug finally and be done with it - I almost always get ill twice a year pretty badly (winter flu, summer flu) so it never comes as a shock - my immune system is just crappy. I am still off on an adventure today though and it looks like promising weather, now if I can just find my camera charger...

Can I just say also - that bedding above? I DIE. I must have it in my life. God help me if they bring out one in black and white too. Oh geometry! I also will be buying that shelf too, once I get my pennies back - I had to pay ALOT of money on my car over these past two months, mot, service, repairs, insurance - and now I have zero savings. It's pretty crippling. My car isn't even worth that much in money - he's just a little run-around with zero fanciful buttons or whizzers like other modern cars. ;)

So yes, get better and try to not spend any more money. Eeep! 

Have an amazing bank holiday, and see you on the flip side!

(If I don't get even iller... more ill?)

Peace!

OOTD #1

t-shirt - dorothy perkins

skirt - h!holland at debenhams

tights - dorothy perkins

flats - dorothy perkins

oh hai!

do excuse me for the poor-over-the-mirror-photo shot, but really, i couldn't be assed to get the tripod out!

i got this bow skirt at debenhams in the sale! i think it's pretty cute, i was a bit anxious about wearing it though... i mean, it's got bows on it for christ sake!

you can also see the kind of rush i was in to go the doctors yesterday, laundry pile in my arms, oh no, picture! hah. such a failure. i digress...

so i guess i'm back? :)

peace!

hiatus...

i love blogging, even though i don't do it often... i am afraid i read more than i write, and because i am reading so many blogs - i am distracted to write! too many pretty pictures and entertaining words, ha!

right now i'm not in the right frame of mind... i don't know, to put any part of myself out there?

...i feel like anything i write from this point onward is going to be construed as highly negative and overly critical of myself... and come on, it's a blog. why should i have to worry about a blog? about how i come across on screen? it's supposed to be about what i enjoy, the occasional rambling of thoughts...

don't get me wrong, loads of bloggers have continued to post even through greater hardship than mine... 

but that's not the way i roll, yo', i'd apologize for it... but that would be the opposite of what i am trying to achieve here.

so, for anyone that does read my blog... expect... well, have low expectations for a little while. give me a month at least... and maybe i can be human again. or maybe bionic.

peace!

2012

i'm pretty ready for 2011 to be over. it's been an interesting year. don't get me wrong, i've had worse - believe me, haven't we all?

i'm just ready for a change. this coming year is going to bring more difficulty... choices and what not.

i think i'm probably ready?

ahhh.

have a beautttttiful new years eve.

peace!

a love affair with ribbon...

Via.

Never saw the lure behind ribbon before this coming Christmas holiday; the holiday in which I actually have less money than last year and somehow managed to provide adequate gifts for the three people I care for the most...

Amen.

But I digress; ribbon. Glorious ribbon. Red. Lace. White. Golden. Brown wrapping paper and string. Kraft gift tags and a special stamp dipped in red ink.

Oh the shame.

I've fallen into the deathly lure of ribbon.

I'm a lost cause. Are you?

Peace!

tomorrow?

finally finished shopping for christmas, it only took three days of online spending and one swift trip into boots, and I am done!

there is beauty in only having to buy for three people. it's still hard though.

finished my golden sketchbook today - it's completely stuffed with cut outs, drawings and inspiration. i already have another small sketchbook to continue on with - a journal of words, inspiration, recipes and such.

like a blog, really. hah!

i've been ill. i was ill on my 21st. such fun though, in bed, watching films and generally being spoiled.

feeling a bit anxious. i start some new meds tonight. i hope this first month proves fruitful! i want to be better....

peace and love and merry christmas!

i want a pet fox.

I went to the job 'interview' at the Royal Mail for data entry. It wasn't so much an interview, more like a test. In fact it was a test.

A test, that I know I've passed - but I don't know if I have to have an interview or anything like that yet. I re-read the email and it's called a 'registration event.'

We'll see how that shit flies soon enough, I guess.

In other news, Boyfriend has to look after a friends dog for the next five days. So I'm barely going to be able to see him as much as I have done. Pity me. Feel for me. Even though I'll just be cutting shit out of magazines that I think is pretty.

Still, pity me.

I'm interested now, does anyone else do that? I mostly buy interior design magazines, I used to only buy Elle fashion, but once that started grating on my nerves, I picked up other magazines of interest, etc....

But do you, stranger, that I know is there, cut shit out because it appeals? Do you scrapbook with it? Or schtick it on your wall?

Lemme know. I like to know that kinda shit. I'm nosy.

Peace.
