Hi everyone,So I’m off to Venice for a week, starting Monday. I’ve only been there once, for half a day on one of those trips as part of a cruise, but I only did a backstreets-cultural-history tour, so I didn’t see the main sights? Like, I didn’t even go on a gondola. I’m quite excited to go this time, as it’s just with my mum and sister, so we’ll have a proper little girly holiday!I...

Morning everyone!As the title suggests, it's my birthday today! And as I am just a tiny bit excited (!) I thought I'd write a blog. I am working today, but hey ho I brought treats in for my colleagues so at least there will be a little less work to do haha. Just a selection of cupcakes and muffins, but it's the thought that counts right?I also baked a cake for my team, because I had way too much...

Good morning everyone,As today is Shrove Tuesday and I’m in a fantastic mood (albeit slightly tired but who isn’t!), I thought I’d take a look into my old stories, ones that I hadn’t finished. The one that stuck out the most was my motorbike AU sequel. I wrote a 30,000+ word Alex Gaskarth/Zack Merrick motorbike AU a couple of years ago, and I was so proud of it, and it was so well received...

Morning everyone!Last night was quite exciting for me - I had my first of 10 weeks worth of French lessons. They're evening classes at City University, London, and I'll receive a qualification in French Accelerated Beginners at the end of it! I LOVE languages, and this came about as an opportunity through work (they're funding 90% of it), so I figured...why not? At least I'll be able to read and...

Morning everyone!Just wanted to write a quick blog to say that I won't be around over Christmas time, because I am on vacation in France! I'm going skiing with my family from December 27th to January 3rd, and I doubt I'll have any internet connection, so I won't be able to write or read anything.I'm aiming to write my chapter for 'A Moment' today, as well as completing my entry for round 2 of...

So Christmas is going to be a hard one this year. My parents are in the process of divorcing but they’re still living in the same house – separate bedrooms obviously because my mum can’t stand the thought of sharing a room with the man who cheated on her and tore our family apart. So instead, as my sister is home from university and the spare bedroom is no longer a spare bedroom, my dad will...

Afternoon everyone!I just wanted to write a short blog about my writing. Or at least, my future writing. To be truthful, I don’t know how many more stories I will be writing on here. It’s not for any reasons other than the fact that I’m getting more and more involved my job, being out of my house 12 hours a day, and I just don’t have the time to really develop characters and my writing in...

Good morning!Thought I'd write my first blog in a while today, and it concerns the fact that I'm a little confused. Baffled, even. Why? Well, I've had this before, and I don't doubt that I will have it again, but recently I've noticed that one chapter of a story will get a whole bunch of comments, but then the next chapter may get, say, one or two. I don't understand the disparity. Especially in a...

Good afternoon :)So I ate too much for lunch again. My team at work always go out for lunch together on a Friday - today was a brilliant chinese take-out shop in Monument, London, called Deli Mama. Cheap, cheerful, but good food. It's actually one of the only places I like tofu from, and today I got the tofu with vegetable noodles. But then I had, like, 4 brownies on top of that, and I'm SO full.I...

Good morning everyone!So I'm going to a Grease vs. Dirty Dancing tribute night tonight and I have no idea what to expect. I mean, I'm hoping it's good quality because it's being held at a really nice golf and country club, but I've never been to one before...All I know is that I get a three course meal and half a bottle of wine with it. That's all. Has anyone ever been to a tribute night like...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!*cough*Sorry, I'm just excited. And happy. And restless. Today has been so amazing already and I'm still at work haha. I don't know if it's the same for everyone else, but I brought in birthday treats for the office (muffins and cupcakes) and they went down really well! Like over a dozen people actually emailed me to say how nice they were!Eeeeehhhhhh!That makes me happy. I also...

Good morning everyone!I would say the morning is glorious, but it's pretty overcast and miserable where I am - oh well!I'm happy anyway - only one week to go until my birthday! Eeeeeehhhhhhhh!!!! I don't even know why I'm so excited. It's not like anything particularly important is happening. It's not a big birthday - I'm going to be 23. And I don't even know if I'm going out to dinner with my...

Yes, yet again I do not have plans for Valentine's Day. I mean, I've never had plans for Valentine's Day EVER, but that's not the point.I think it would be nice, just once, to have that overly-romantic, mushy, loved-up Valentine's Day spent with someone special. Sure, I'd have to find someone special first. That's kind of important. But still. One of these days I'd like to see what all the fuss is...

Seriously, they do.I've had dry chapped lips since the beginning of December, and it is getting on my last nerve. It's not just that they're dry - they actually hurt. Throbbing almost, especially in the wind when I go outside. They don't look any different, a little redder if anything, but they're horrible to feel.I've tried all sorts of lips balms, vaseline, all day and all night - but nothing...

Hey :)Today is going to be fun for multiple reasons. It's National Christmas Jumper Day, and a lot of people at work are wearing their festive knitwear for charity. My own jumper is black with a giant reindeer on it, and the reindeer's nose flashes with little LEDs so that's quite fun.And it's also Secret Santa day at work too - I don't really know the guy I got very well so I just got him a...

I saw Avenged Sevenfold play at Wembley Arena in London on Sunday night (and forgot to blog about it until now...) - and as the title states, I cried. Can you blame me? Before they played Fiction, Matt did a speech about Jimmy and I couldn't hold in my feels.A7X were such a big influence on my life as I grew up through those awkward teenage years, and got me through some really dark times. I count...

Man, I just ache all over today.Like, my shoulders ache, particularly where my left shoulder meets my neck. The muscles there are all tight and knotted and it's so damn painful. And then my back aches, with my spine feeling all awkward and stuff. And my knees ache, like they're needing to crack but won't. And don't even start me on my headache. That's the worst.I think I'm just falling apart...

Hey guys :)I really can't wait for this weekend to come. It's going to be so good, like, so so good. Why? Well, my sister went to Denmark last night with her boyfriend and his family to watch him in an international ju-jitsu competition (he's really good and high-ranking, apparently) so she's out of the house. My mum is having a spa weekend in York with her friends, and with all the champagne...

Seriously, it's becoming an issue.No, I'm not saying I'm overweight, or that I need to lose weight, but that there is always some form of snack food on my desk at work (I share a large rectangle desk with 7 others!) and it's really hard to resist.When they have sausage rolls etc I'm okay because I'm a vegetarian. But when they have pringles and chocolate and stroup waffles, I find myself picking...

Okay, so I've come to the conclusion that I really should start drinking more herbal tea.I know they're good for you and that some of them are really nice, but I don't know which ones to try.My mom's friend is a dietician and recommended that I drink both peppermint tea and chamomile tea on a regular basis, because I get a lot of headache and stress a lot etc. I wouldn't have a clue what brands...
