Bank Holiday Weekend

Just got back from Reading Festival.
The weekend ended up being fun despite on Friday thinking it would be awful.
I will do a better update later when I have some pictures I can add.

I'm so tried, think I could sleep for a day..............work tomorrow though boo.

Shame shame

I saw The Expendables last night (it was fun) and it shamefully confirmed the fact that I may have the smallest............ teeny tiniest............ littlest crush on................ Mickey Rourke.

Yes I know it's wrong.

I guess I like his "swagger" for want of a better word. I like his cool quirky style.....although the casual cropped tshirt and jean look not so much, but then again he teams it with a tiny dog, which I find endearing and cute.

(Although this outfit is for a movie, its too good)


He occasionally wears specs.......... what can I say I'm totally shallow when it comes to thick black framed prescription geek specs.

Another embarrassing crush to add to the list.

If I was in SPvTW

This is what I'd look like....

Plus some black rimmed geek specs... but they didn't have any glasses I liked and also plus a couple of lbs hehe.

I love aps like this. I end up spending hours creating lots of different ones.

So many movies

...that are out or coming out soon that I want to see. Why does the cinema have to be so pricey!?!

Anyhoot here they are:
Seeing The Expendables Tuesday, I can't wait :)


Shock.... I'm not actually a Nic Cage fan but I kind of want to see this. It might be more of a download one than a cinema one.

CAN'T WAIT for this one!!!! So excited about seeing it.

This has been out a while now and I want to see it so badly. I'm hoping to make my bf go this weekend.

Steve Carrell = Hilarious! Paul Rudd = Hilarious & Cute! Win win!

I'm going to see this with my bestie and her hubby tonight :)

I love films and I love going to the cinema yay. Plus I still have about 8 DVDs to get around to watching from my recent online shopping spree. There isn't enough time in the day for all these movies!

EDIT- Didn't get to see Salt as it's Orange wednesday and was sold out :( oh well we had Pimms instead.

Lush

So I ordered some bits from Lush for my best friends birthday and thought I may as well treat myself to some pressies too :)

I decided to get a couple of Vegan bits:Vanilla Dee-Lite: Which is a moisturiser. I love the smell of vanilla and have been wanting to get a vegan lotion so this is a winner. Who doesn't want silky smooth skin that smells like sweets!?!

Pineapple Grunt: The item doesn't actually look like this. Made with fresh organic pineapple and vetivert (Indian grass) so I think it will be a pretty tasty smelling soap.


Creamy Candy Bath: Vanilla & Cocoa Butter SOLD!


I also brought a tester of the Vanillary perfume. I've wanted a vanilla perfume for ages so if this is nice then I'll buy a bigger bottle. The website doesn't state if it's vegan so I've sent them an email asking, I'm presuming it's not as everything else is listed but as it was their perfume website I thought I'd check..... at least I know it's not tested on animals.

I sure do love getting packages in the post especially when they smell as good as this one.

Awkward

It's tough being socially awkward.
Part of me wishes I didn't feel so anxious and that I didn't worry about the simplest of situations, but the other part of my accepts that that's just who I am. There will always be people in life who are shy and I'm going to be one of them.
I think it's down to my lack of confidence, which is mainly caused in my discomfort about how I look.
My social awkwardness has really notched up a gear lately and again I believe it directly relates to an all time confidence low I'm experiencing.
It's weird with certain situations I'm fine.... If I feel strongly about something, If I believe the other person is equally/if not more awkward than me, or if I'm with someone else, I tend to be ok.

I'm finding my new job particularly hard going at times. Which makes me question........

What jobs would be good for the socially awkward?

I'd love to work somewhere laid back and quirky. Where I don't feel like the odd one out.

I don't believe I'm a freak or anything. But I'm literally the only "alternative" person in my office, and quite frankly now I'm old I'm not even that alternative anymore.....certainly not compared to 10 years ago.

I'm 26 and I don't look it, that combined with shyness gives everyone the impression I'm a lot younger than I am and therefor they treat me that way, it can be a little frustrating.

Oh well I'm destined to fiddle awkwardly with my hands, avoid eye contact, blush and mess up my words ie embarrass myself daily.

Weekend Goodies

So this weekend has been pleasant. I got my haircut (FINALLY) on Saturday and for the first time in at least 3 years I haven't left the hair dressers wanting to cry.
I'm pretty pleased with my new cut, my old mop of hair was draining the little confidence I had left.

I also had a wander around the shops a brought some bits:

This cute dress. The ribbon just comes like the first picture but I think I'll wear it as a bow, or I'll remove it and put a silk bow brooch there instead.

Some new blusher by Barry M

These nail polishes. I love mint green. Not sure when I'll wear it, but I couldn't resist.

My new shoes turned up. Loves them. They fit perfectly too. I always worry when I buy stuff online that they wont fit.

I've also watched a couple of fun movies:

I saw this at the cinema today. It wasn't anything amazing, but you get what you expect. I love Drew Barrymore, she's so cute and I'd pretty much watch whatever she was in. It was sweet, I'll more than likely buy it when it's out (and on sale).

I'm currently watching this. Which was one of the many that I brought the other day. I'm going to hopefully get through a couple more tonight.
This film is enjoyable so far.

Goodies in the post for Me :)

Still waiting on 2 packages.
Oh well at least I have some films to keep my occupied hehe.

I get my hippy haircut tomorrow yay, I sure do hope it goes well.

Have a lovely weekend :)

Carette Loggerhead Turtle

My Mum has just got back from Zante. She likes to buy everyone a little souvenir whenever she goes on holiday.
As Zante is home to the endangered Loggerhead Turtle (Carette), for my gift my Mum donated money to The Sea Turtle Protection Society on my behalf :) and also got me a cute turtle keyring.
What a perfect gift :) she is a sweetheart.

Reading up on them is interesting. They return to the beach they were born on as adults (20 - 30 years later) to nest. That's so sweet, like they're going home to raise their young. Once the eggs are laid they take 60 days to hatch. Although 100 -150 eggs are laid only 10-15 survive :(
Fully grown turtles can grow to 1.2 metres and weigh 100kg!

So cute!

"My life.....

...is just a series of embarrassing incidents strung together"


It's a partial Russell Brand quote but I can totally relate. I feel like every day something happens to embarrass me.

Another purchase

Just brought these online they were only £5 in the sale (although I had to pay £3.50 shipping) can't wait for them to arrive in the post.
So many packages on their way. I love getting mail.

I'm redonkulously excited about.....

I hope I haven't got too excited about it. I'm sure Sly wont let me down!

Sly, Schwarzenegger, Bruce and Rourke in one movie...it can only be good!
Oh also Cordelia from Buffy/Angel is in it.... fun times.

Can't wait!!!!

I just ordered this:

I'm so intrigued about becoming vegan. Thought it might be worth having a look through this. The only downside to it that I think I'll encounter is that it will not doubt only talk about American products. But it's worth a read. So I'm looking forward to that turning up in the post.

Also yesterday I ordered about 10 random DVDs online so looking forward to all those lovely packages!!! Plus I'm still waiting on a bunch of bits I brought from the veganstore.co.uk it's taking absolutely ages, it cost like £4ish for delivery and yet the website says allow up to 28 days!!! Le sigh!

Anyhoot I'm off to watch this :)

Weekend

These were on offer in Tesco, only 37p............ yummy plus they're vegan - bonus!

I cooked this for dinner Saturday.

Butternut Squah & Pinenut Lasagna - Tastey!!!

I painted my nails with this lovely Barry M nail polish.

And I finally got round to watching this movie I brought a couple of weeks ago.
