Hiya! I'm finally blogging; it feels like ages since I was last here. With the holidays well in swing I haven't had much time to spare to come on my blog, but I'm here now. I want to make up for my absence so I'm going to do a massive blog to compensate.

December has been a good month for me, I've felt like I've finally been able to relax a little bit. My university applications have been sent off which has gotten rid of some pressure.

On the 19th of December I went to another friends 18th birthday party, it was a fancy dress. I didn't have a brilliant costume due to money being an issue (Christmas really straps you for cash huh?) but I decided that I would be a 'Vampire'. This decision was made as soon as I had seen the film Twilight earlier that day. It was brilliant and I think the film definitely did the book justice.


This is a picture from my friends 18th. His name is Kurt and he is on the far left, my boyfriend Chris is in the middle (wearing a tie), I am on the far right and Kurt's girlfriend (also one of my best friends) Lottie is on the bottom wearing a cool hat. :)

It was a great night, the buffet was yummy, we all had drinks and got into the Christmas spirit. The dance that got everyone up, was (surprise surprise) the Macarena! There must be something about that song that people cannot resist. Literally everyone and their mum knows the dance moves.

The 19th of December was also my best friend Shola's 18th birthday. So we wished her a happy birthday while we were all at Kurt's party. She has to be one of the best dancers when she's had a bit to drink, love you Shoals!

Shola and me at Kurt's party, don't mind the cider in front of us. I prefer alco-pops. :)

After the party Chris came back to my house, we were both a bit tipsy so we decided it would be best if he stopped over. We both shared my small single bed. At first it didn't work as we were fighting over who got the most room/quilt/pillow but I fell asleep on his chest. So Chris ended up being my pillow.

My dad asked me if Chris sharing my bed was a practice run for when we go away together on my birthday and I replied, "Put it this way dad, if he'd snored last night we wouldn't be going away together". Snoring is my one true foe.

In the run up to Christmas I was busy buying last minute Christmas presents and giving presents to people.

I couldn't sleep on Christmas Eve, I'm like a little kid.


Christmas Day was great, as it always is. I had loads of presents, much more than what I expected! Do you like our tree? It is one of three trees.

Among the many presents I received I got a new digital camcorder and pink She hair straighteners. My mum and dad got me lots of surprises so I was really happy.

Chris bought me a huge teddy (his name is Charlie), a Lost Prophets CD and a book by Stephenie Meyer called The Host. He knows me well!

I stayed in pajamas for most of the day and didn't even bother getting changed when Chris came up. Don't worry, I did shower and change after ten minutes of him being at my house.

We decided to watch The Dark Knight together, which is an awesome film by the way. I could see Chris from the corner of my eye paying more attention to me than the film. It was very distracting the way he picked my hand up and did that kissing up the arm thing.

I was like, look Chris you're cute and all but I'm trying to focus on Batman here (who sounded like he had a sore throat through all of the film; someone give that guy a lozenge!).

I had to balance giving Chris snuggles and watching the Joker being crazy. I thought to myself, maybe all the Joker needed was a snuggle...and makeup tips.

Boxing day was my sleepy day in which we had beef for dinner. It was so nice. :)

I also watched The Little Mermaid on DVD, which is one of my all time favourite Disney films.

I would like to wish everyone who reads my blog, Happy Holidays! I hope you had a good Christmas like me. Also thank you to my affiliates for the cute Christmas gifts!

For some reason the comment box is not appearing, so I'm just posting this as a test. Let me know if it works for you.

Have you ever noticed that in the run up to Christmas you feel busy?

And not just the "I'm sorry I couldn't go out today because I was doing homework" busy. I mean the monumental "I couldn't go out today because I signed my soul away to the shopping center" busy.

All I've been doing is going to the local shopping center. Non-stop. I am so sick of that place, as you can probably tell.

I apologize for the absence of blogging, it's funny that I said I would blog everyday and then I disappeared off the face of the Earth for over a week.

A lot of things have been happening in my life that have prevented me from mustering the will power to entertain you with my random-ness. For example, I went to a party last night for a friends 18th. It was a great laugh, it's brilliant seeing people from college get absolutely plastered.

Don't worry, I stayed relatively sober. I arrived home, wobbling around saying, "I'm just merry hahaha... wooahh... *burp*". Not a good look. :)

The music was good (the best part was seeing Elliot singing along to Spice Girls - our harmonies were awesome). I also survived doing the marathon dance that is the Macarena.

All in all it was a great night out with my friends and I can't wait for the pictures on Facebook. I bet I look a total pancake in most of them though!

Look forward to more blogs!

Oh and if your reading this post on Facebook then importing my Kihugs feed was successful. ;)

Edit:



Here's me and Chris at the party, do we look drunk? haha :)

We played with "Play Dough" in English Language class today.

Jealous?

I knew you would be.

Before you ask, it did serve an educational purpose. We were seeing which group could make the longest grammatically correct sentence. Each little Play Dough ball represented a word and we labeled them with sticky notes as to what word it was and what word class it fitted into.

The Play Dough *cough* ...balls varied in colour because they had to represent different word classes (the pink ones were auxiliary verbs!).

It was a fun lesson and you should have seen it (A-level students rolling little Play Dough balls). It was a lesson you would only see in our college that's for sure! :)

I'm a visual learner so I feel the lesson did help. I will always remember the pink auxiliary verbs (aw, bless).

My question for today is:

What kind of learner are you? Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic? (This chart should help you decide)

My answer:

I would say visual. I always doodle on my notes and colour them with highlighters. I make them all prettyful. :)

PS. I got a chocolate cracker in my advent calender. ^_^;

I can't believe it's the end of November already, the month just seems to have flown by. Oh-Vintage's blog everyday for a month challenge has ended too and I'm happy to say that I have done it! :)
It was really fun, I think I'm going to carry on blogging everyday seen as I liked it so much.

People are already getting offers back from universities! It's scary because I haven't even sent my application off yet. I just need to do a few final things on it and then it will be ready. No point rushing it and making a mess right? The official deadline is not while the 15th of January but I plan to send mine off way before Christmas. I can't leave something that important to the last minute!

I'm a little bit nervous to be honest, I mean we'll all be going our separate ways. Of course I'll still keep in touch with people, but I suppose I will miss college. We always joke around and have a good time. I hope I can still meet up with people and go to the cinema like we always do.

I'm looking forward to Christmas, I just love all the festivities and atmosphere. Well, apart from the atmosphere at the local shopping center (that can get pretty scary when last minute shoppers are out!).

I have an advent calender too, which is just super cute! I didn't ask for one this year because I thought I was too old for them but Greg came in my room and held up my calender! Turns out my mum had just gone and bought me one (thank you!). I asked her why she had bought me one because I thought I was too old and she replied, "Of course you not too old!". Aw, she's kind. :)

All this talk about Christmas reminds me I need to write out my Christmas card list. I have some really cute cards this year to give out. Tee-hee! ^_^;

Well, I'm going to get an early night tonight (after I've read some manga!).

Bye. xx<3
