I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up?

Yes, I saw Avatar.. You all know what's coming. Here is the inevitable "look at mee! I'm a smurf!" picture... (click to make it big):


I maybe got a bit lazy with the stripes and the little glowing dots but it was late & I wanted to finish it before going to bed..

Here's the start/finish comparison, just in case you were worried that my nose DOES look like that now lol.


Hope you're all well & not sick of all this graphicy stuff. I just love doing it too much :)

Back from Gristhorpe!

As predicted, the majority of my holiday looked like this:


We had a lot of fun though.

Thanks for asking.

Haha.

I took about 300 photos, and I've kept 130 of them. I won't be uploading them to this blog, but they'll be slowly appearing on facebook tomorrow :)

Now I've just got to go and find a job somewhere.

That's right.

You better watch out! :D

Ignore my peculiar hair lol.

illness

I thought you might like to see how I'm doing. Uhh literally.

I'm still feeling poorly (and playing on Corel Photo-Paint) buutt I took I took some fun photos of my environment, seeing as I took nearly all the photos off this blog.

Lookie:

Oh-so-pleasant bin full of tissues! Hahha. You know you wanted to see that. There are also bits of Christmas in there that I forgot to throw away.
This is what my hair looks like when I don't attack it with straighteners. Now you know why I get up so early lol.
Harry the Hot Water Bottle! - the actual hot water bottle is hidden inside lol.
I dressed up Marvin... As a Grandma... I dunno, they get ill too, right?
Cosy slippers! :D So stylish lol.And finally, my super marvelous exciting amazing hot chocolate!

With a very, very secret recipe. BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ANYWAY BECAUSE I AM NICE.

With bullet points. I can tell you're on the edge of your seat.

• First, get a mug. I am using a rather brilliant Piglet mug that my mum bought yesterday.
• Stick the kettle on. Make sure there is enough water in it first. (You can probably do this recipe with milk, if you are not fond of using water. Being a picky person myself, I don't mind if you break that rule)
  
• Find some marshmallows (or buy some especially for the occasion) and chuck about four in (Hey! You're ill! You have to be generous. It's the law.)
• Dig around your cupboards for some Golden Syrup. This is the key bit that I made up BY MYSELF. Measure about two spoonfuls in, or just tip the tin in and guess. You might as well. You're ill.
• Get some hot chocolate powder. Make sure it's not a completely useless brand like Smart Price or something. That's a waste of golden syrup. Get something good like Cadburys or Galaxy. Or whatever. I use the FairTrade stuff, which is very tasty and is kind to farmer people. Or something. Stick in as much as you feel is necessary. Nobody will judge you for putting in more than the recommended amount in (especially if there's nobody else in the kitchen)
  
• Tip some sugar in. Remember you've already got the golden syrup in there, and whatever sweeteners came with the hot chocolate powder. But why not, you're ill! I stick in about two teaspoonfuls.
• By this time, there should be just enough time to pour in some cold milk. You should remember that this will affect the temperature of the drink, but there are extra steps you can take to make sure that bit's perfect.
• Pour in your hot water and stir to your hearts content!
• Leave standing/keep stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted. Otherwise they're pointless lol.
  

There was no room for them so they had to stay in a stable

Haven't done a huge amount today (no lessons, you see), but I did take a new facebook photo!


My old one was nearly a year old and I feel bad for still using it xDD

Oh and I needed something to blog about :P

Listening to Westlife - Uptown Girl.
I was pretty much in love with that song when it first came out xDD *hides*

girls become lovers and turn into mothers: so mothers be good to your daughters too.

I'm not entirely sure why I put that as the title.. It's probably because I can't think of anything else and because I'm listening to it lol ("Daughters" by John Mayer)

Umm right. So I have 10 minutes to write before the internet dies lol.

Weeell sister comes home for the summer tomorrow, so the parents will be out all day - and brother's got his prom in the evening. I'm pretty much going to have the house for myself for a little while :) Anyone care to join me? lol :P (if you're taking that seriously, at least clear it with me first, kay? heheh)

Ummm.... Ooh I'm starting induction week on Monday - apparently we have to dress smartly. If only this had been made clear to me. I'll probably wear black trousers on the first day and then just wear whatever lol. It's not like anyone was sent home for wearing jeans in the exams.

Just got some photos back from mums camera of me in various situations, ranging from Christmas to the prom - mum doesn't take photos very often lol.
