[Yes, I'm Serious;xo]

Okay..
I have absolutely no shame in telling you that I have officially jumped on the Hannah Montana bandwagon. As someone who has mocked the High School Musical fans and Miley Cyrus wannabes for months, I can now see the error of my ways.
When I first saw the trailer for Hannah Montana The Movie, I admit that I was tempted to actually watch the film (but secretly, in the dark privacy of my own room), but when my boyfriend asked me what I wanted to see at the cinema last week, I couldn't contain myself any longer, and admitted what should never have been uttered aloud! But was I really so desperate to see this movie that I would do so in public?
Luckily, my boyfriend's sister and niece passed the cinema, as we were outside considering our options. And then my desperation caused my to commit a terrible crime..I kidnapped my boyfriend's five year old niece, all in the pursuit of Hannah Montana, (surely it's acceptable to watch a children's movie, if you're actually with a child)!
And do you know what? It was so worth it! So who cares? Hannah Montana is my guilty pleasure film..I love Miley and yes, I know the dance to Hoedown Showdown! And don't judge me until you can prove that you sat through the whole film without smiling! Go on..I dare you!
Peace;xo

P.S: By kidnap I mean borrowed with her mother's permission (:

[Parklife;xo]

Why is it that as soon as the sun comes out, couples see it as an invitation to enjoy nauseating displays of public affection, much to the dismay of passers-by? Today at the park, there was not one couple, but TWO couples practically seconds from ripping each others clothes off! I mean this action wasn't exactly PG you know? I mean, get a room guys! What would your parents say?
Also, I couldn't help but laugh at the three posh, private school boys playing football in their shirts and ties. Me and my boyfriend were making up a sports-like commentary of their game, and how scandalous it was that not only had 'Winston' removed his shoes, but he was also wearing odd socks!'Miles' and 'Geoffrey' must have been utterly disgusted by their friend's common behaviour! What a poor reflection on the upper class!
Who knew the local park was such a good spot for people-watching (a cruel sport I know but so amusing!), and with the sun shining, the flesh comes out, making the game even funner! Surely I'm not the only one that finds the sight of a middle-aged man flashing his milky-white chicken legs in khaki shorts hilarious? (And don't even get me started on the socks and sandals combo!)
Comment with your park stories!
Ciao;xo

P.S: I saw a woodpecker for the first time ever today!Is it too blonde of me to admit I didn't know they really existed? (:
P.P.S: For the record I am actually a brunette, and mean no offence by the above blonde comment!

[Another's Treasure;xo]

It feels good to have finally re-discovered the magic of thrift, vintage and second-hand! In a time that is so economically depressing, it's great to know that there are still hidden treasures buried in carboots and charity shops. After all, one person's trash is another's treasure! I myself, love rummaging through stranger's old crap! On my latest expedition to the local carboot sale, I aquired a vintage silver cuff, an old leather handbag and an old edition of Jane Austen's 'Emma', all totalling less than a fiver! What more could you want?So remember, if you don't want it, then someone else might! If you're holding onto that 80's catsuit hoping you will SOMEDAY be able to get it past your thighs again, then give up the fight and make yourself some dosh at the carboot! Or if you've still got those Christmas presents you hated, but never got round to return them, then do the decent thing and head down to the charity shop!What the world needs right now is for everyone to help each other out a bit!
Peace;xo

[Hello Stranger;xo]

Finally my internet deprivation has come to an end!After weeks without access, I can finally return to web-land! Oh how I've missed it so. =]So, the other day, me and my friend were sat chatting near the river, when a middle-aged man on a bike cycled over and struck up conversation. The three of us were talking for almost an hour. I was amazed at the ease of conversation I found with this stranger. On leaving, he declared us 'a credit to the city and our generation'. It's nice to know that not everyone has the same stereotypes of people my age. Nowadays, most people would be intimidated and afraid to approach teenagers. All I have to do is walk past an elderly lady and she is clutching her purse, assuming I'm planning on mugging her! It's a shame that no one in the world today can trust each other.But they say you learn something new everyday, and that day I learnt not to be afraid to talk to strangers, and I hope that the man on the bike learnt that we're not all the same, despite the bad reputation ASBOs and teen crime has given us!
Peace;xo

[Me & My Evil Twin;xo]

I know that as a gemini, it's to be expected that you're erratic and unpredictable. 'It's a typical trait'.'It comes with the territory'.But my moods are even giving me whiplash!Remember that poem:'There was a little girl that had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.When she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid'?Well my mum has always said that that poem was about me! Living with me is like living with two people, two polar opposites, me and my evil twin.And I know it's part of my personality, but I wish I could find some peaceful middle-ground in all this. Some balance. I was born at a time that meant I would lead two lives!Gemini's hold a kind of mystic power I think.And although it must be hard for other people keeping up with me, I guess it's exciting!I just feel sorry for them is all.And sometimes wish there was a more mellow part of me,Just for everyone else's sake. (:

[New Addition;xo]

Just a few quick thoughts.Today, my mum brought home a beautiful journal for me. Usually I'm one of those impatient people that writes for writing's sake just for the pleasure of using a new book. But this time I'm going to be patient! I have decided that a good purpose for this new addition to my huge box of half-full notebooks, would be as a travel journal. I've never had one of these before, because I've never really been anywhere exciting enough to write about.But if you have been following my blogs, you will know that I am very eager to travel the world (Read my post 'Jack-In-The-Box'). In fact I hope to stay in Scotland for atleast a fortnight this Summer, so maybe that is when words will first grace my new journal's pages. By next Summer, I would like to be driving, and spend the Summer driving round Europe in a 60s camper van (:Having the constant reminder of a completely blank journal in the back of my mind (such things just aren't heard of to me!) will hopefully spur me on to chase my dreams, even if just to fill my clean pages with scribbles!So I promise myself that until I travel somewhere journal-worthy, my pen will never touch the virginal paper of this book!
Secondly, after reading someone's blog post of things that made them smile, I have become more conscious of the fact that I am smiling, and so I pause to recognise why, which in turn makes me appreciate the little things. It's funny how one person's simple words can change anothers views! I would like to thank my fellow blogger for inspiring me to say thank-you for the things I would otherwise take for granted. So I would like to say a few little things that made me smile today:
-The prospect of an untouched journal!
-My dog sneezing (:
-When there were to many bubbles in my bath
-When my mum bought me a metre stick of bubble-gum (never to old to love sweets!)
-When me and my brother haggled and traded on our Easter chocolate

I would also like to acknowledge the Hillsborough tragedy, which occured 20 years ago today. My heart goes out to all the friends and families, who lost someone that day.
'You'll never walk alone!'
Peace;xo

[School Daze;xo]

I am probably very at risk of sounding old before my time here, but when I found an old school photo whilst tidying my room today, I had to smile. I'm 17 (due to turn 18 in June), and it has just kicked in that, that part of my life is over now! Like, really over! I didn't realise how much I would actually miss it, how much I took it for granted, and how many friendships I thought would make the cut, have inevitably drifted away from me. I wish I knew a few years ago, how I would feel upon leaving school (I cried on the last day!). I see now how much I wasted, not the education (I'm proud of my grades :D), but more the experience. The past 6 or 7 years of my life have gone way to fast. Isn't it scary when that happens? And so far I don't like reality, the 'real' world, the grown-up world as much as my easy school days. I guess I should have listened to all of those grumblng adults when they said, 'these are the best days of your life!', because so far they were right!
Peace;xo
