Patience, Paint, Nail Varnish and Results

Okay. So I admit, I wasn't patient enough with my camera, and, after waiting for about a year the other night, my pictures were finally loaded onto my computer. So it was all a simple case of me not letting technology do it's thang. Sorry tech :)

So, back to last Tuesday. What a day. I think a couple of hurrahs are in order. Firstly, we need a hurrah for visitors of the unexpected kind. Which, in this case, came in the shape of my auntie, who popped in on her way home after going to a party the night before. Next, we need a hurrah for decorating. Or, rather a hurrah for continuing-redecorating-that-started-years-ago-but-was-never-finished. So, out came my dad's old shirts, sandpaper, paint and old raggedy cloths to cover the floor so I didnt paint that accidently. I was painting the frame around my mirror wall paper, whilst listening to cds to keep me sane. I LOVE the colour of the paint I'm using, it's a lovely metallicy lilac, and it looks just lovely, matching my purple wallpaper on the opposite wall. Here's a couple of photos I took of how it all went:

Here's my lovely pot'a paint

Out with the old blue...

and in with the new purple :)

The work in progress!

And my company...Sgt Wolfbanger and Taylor Swift :D

So that was my painting fun!

The next day, I went and saw my amazing friend Beckie, for a lovely girlie day. It was an all round lovely day, even though I confused myself and went to the wrong place to meet. Teehee! We ended up watching Moulin Rouge, which is an amazing film and Ewan McGregor's voice is beautiful! He's so talented, it's awesome :) We also painted our nails, and I, being the crazy friend I am, painted my right hand nails green, and left hand nails red. I can get away with it by saying I'm an art student :D

But, oh my, yesterday. It was what my 5 years of secondary school was all leading up to. GCSE results day. Eeek! Weirdly though, when I was queued up to get my envelope with the grades in, I wasn't really nervous at all! I'm really glad I wasnt though, as last week I had been feeling a bit worried! But I got 7 As and 4 Bs so I'm majorly happy with that :D Plus it means I can do the subjects I want to do next year, so YAYYY :D

Anyhoo, that's quite'a long post, so I'll be off now! :)

Oh, but, PS, I'm currently listening to Amy's Theme from the awesome tv show Doctor Who, it's a really beautiful piece :) and yes, I am a DW nerd...:D

Current technological difficulties...

Well.
I had plannned on posting a blog all about my day, with some lovely pictures. But technology has suddenly turned on me and is refusing to upload my pictures. Which is annoying. So it'll have to wait until tomorrow. And be a double blog. So we'll wait and see!


Fingers crossed, please :)


Oh, and one good thing;  my dad bought me a packet of marshmallows today. Made me smile :)

To make someone feel special...

HI EMILY :D

Smile lines :')

It's beeen aaaaaaaaaaages since I last blogged, so I apologise LOADS.
I'm sorry :)

Right.
Recently, I've found this loooovely blog, called 'Delightfully Tacky', a sort of fashion/blog thing. It's amazing! (see side bar). I am in total awe of the girl who writes it, as she has so many beautiful vintage clothes, that create amazing outfits :) It really makes me want to wear vintage inspired clothing. And, since I have to get a new wardrobe for school, I've been looking out for vintage-ish clothes that I can wear to school. And ever-so-slightly failing. All I've managed to find is some jewellery, which, don't get me wrong, I LOVE, but it's just not the same as vintage clothes. But I'll keep looking :)
Although, to be fair, I have found some vintage inspired clothes. Lots of them actually. On this uber cool website; ModCloth. (see side bar aswell). The thing is, it's an American based company, and, since I live in th UK, I figured that the shipping cost will be BIG. So, for now, I'm making a list of all the lovely stuff I like off the website, and I'll have to wait until I get enough money to buy some stuff from there.

But, back to the title of this post; 'Smile Lines'.
It's actually the name of a song by this amazing band called Sgt Wolfbanger, and indie/pop/rock band from Crewe. Ish. I got their album last year, and I totally fell in love with them. Sad thing is, though, the singer has left the band and now Sgt Wolfbanger are no more, as they're looking for a new singer and a new name. Kinda sucks, right? My friend, Emily, asked them to, like, get back together, which would be amaze, but I really doubt it happening. Sadly. But, please help these guys out by buying theire album off iTunes; maybe if they get loads of people buying it they will think twice about the whole new singer, new name fiasco.

That's all, folks :)

Dreams...

Right.
Well, I was looking for some pictures for my art work earlier [yes, I actually was working :)], and came across this picture.


And it got me thinking.
Are dreams just futile imaginations we come up with when we're bored?
Or are they actually possible ideas that we can work towards?
Because, I have my own dreams and aspirations, as I'm sure a lot pf people do, and I have my moments when I think, what's the point, but, they give me something to work towards and aim for.
But am I just a fool for believing in them?
I believe that dreams can come true, you just have to work hard to achieve them :)
On a happier note, I did finish all my art work for the deadline.
So surely dreams do come true...

Happy dreaming :)

It's amazing what lenghts I'll go to to procrastinate...

Well.
As the title says, I am procrastinating.
Again.
This time from art work, as I have a ton of it to do and allllll my coursework is on for thursday.
Basically, I'm screwed.
I have so much to do, and not enough time to do it in.
ARGHHHH.
I'd probs be doing my work now if my iPod hadn't run out of battery and me [being me] can't be bothered to charge it.
Oh wells.

I'd best be off then.
Oh, wth, i'll charge my iPod.
It'll only annoy me with no battery.

Toodle pip.

Rightttt,.

Hello again :)
Just doing a little bit of procrastinating before I go and raid my bro's kitchen to get some shiz for a still life drawing for art. Fun times...:/ Lol :)

Not very much to say, except that todays songs you need to look up (like I will be doing in a min) are 'My Boyfriend Builds Coffins' by Florence and the Machine (I think) and 'Up On A Mountain' by Welcome Wagon. I dont know if they are any good, but I shall probs YouTube them in a mo, once I've finished this. Or, maybe I should be good and do some art first...

Ho hum, I best go and do the smelly poo art now :/

Lovee<3
