I am so unbelievably happy at the moment. I'm in love! My boyfriend and I have only been going out for a few months but I'm definitely in love with him. And he loves me :D It's a wonderful feeling, can't remember the last time I was this happy.

It's leading up to exam time at my uni but before serious revision can start I have to get my latest essay out the way. Mind you, that would be a lot easier if I could find the appropriate books for it! Someone cleared the library out of all relevant books, and I think I know who... But I've out a lot of holds on them, so hopefully it won't be long. In the mean time I shall spend my time hanging out with friends, chilling out at home, and just generally pissing about.

Had a mega girly day the other day :) Haven't had one in so long, it was nice to share things again and get to giggle about who hot certain guys were in the movies etc. we were watching. It was so obv a girl's flat though by the end... there were nail varnishes everywhere, empty chocolate bar wrappers lying about, a massive pile of chic flicks and hair stuff and accessories in the strangest places (not to mention a bottle of cheap vodka with a fair dent in it... but that isn't a sign of girls, that's a sign of students :P)!

My hunt for an avatar sorta failed. I did start drawing my own, but then uni took over again... I will have a proper one by the summer. I have been playing about with Paint Shop Pro 11 (PSPXI) and my skills with it are improving. Shame we don't use that programme at my student magazine, they use Photoshop, but I suppose it's good to be able to use several different imaging editing software.

To be honest, I came on here today to delete this blog, but upon reading my last entry, changed my mind. My holiday blog can go elsewhere, somewhere I can direct my friends to, rather than changing all this, I actually quite like this blog, and who's gonna figure out who I am anyway!

The Beginning


Tomorrow is my last exam and then I have a few days to relax before the mayhem that is uni begins once more. Although, the mayhem has sort of already begun. The student union's magazine I help edit has already released an issue and I've also been and in and out of uni to pick up essays, do exams and see people.

I'm looking forward to the start of classes though. I miss my new friends... I need girly gossip time again! I miss sitting in the bar in the union after lectures, I miss passing people I know in the street and saying hi or smiling, or simply seeing a face I recognise. I miss giggling at the back row of lectures at the stupidity of certain lecturers one week, and the next, listening avidly in the front row to another. Yes, it will be mayhem again, but mayhem that I love!

I'm not convinced about my profile picture. I found it on the internet somewhere (Google is my friend) and edited the hair from blonde to brown, but I think it's obv. Plus I'd like to make my own rather than steal someone else's work. But it will do for now, until I have enough time to draw my own. [edit 2012: removed picture, wasn't mine, no source and didn't ask permission to edit, sorry if I pissed anyone off... silly little 1st year me]

I have a plan for this blog. It will contain a bit about my life, serve as a place to rant when on-one will listen to me, and be the sole location of my creative work. I have a bit of a creative side that is often neglected and I intend to let it loose from time to time on here. I'm not saying that I'm a fantastic artist/writer/designer, far from it! But I have ideas, and some of them do make it to life.
