Musical Moments.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to live in a musical, if we could spontaneously burst into song and have a musical number when having an extreme emotional time, whether that being ecstatically happy or completely miserable. If I could sing and these things were possible, this would be my song of choice right now.



It sums up my feelings and I think it is hauntingly beautiful.


You said I was the most exotic flower
Holding me tight in our final hour

I don't know how you convince them and get them, but
I don't know what you do, it's unbelievable
And I don't know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you


One for the money, and two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

You got the world but baby at what price?
Something so strange, hard to define

It isn't that hard boy to like you or love you
I'd follow you down down down,
You're unbelievable
If you're going crazy just grab me and take me
I'd follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere

One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, I'm ready, I'm ready to go
How did you get that way? I don't know
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

I don't know,
You're screwed up and brilliant,
Look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?

The Upcoming Months.



I am starting to really look forward to the next few months. There are a lot of big birthdays coming up (including my own), graduation, I am attending two balls as well as a girls holiday this summer, working, and maybe a bit of spontaneous travel around the country. Whatever happens, I imagine it is all going to be a time to remember!

We'll Always Have Paris.



I recently watched Casablanca, as it is one of those films I have heard so much about and thought it was about time I saw. Even though it was a bit slow and the ending angered me (I felt like it wasn't romantic enough, whereas my friend insisted he was the ultimate romantic hero) I did enjoy it and my favourite line, "we'll always have Paris", held a significance for me (not about Paris, merely the sentiment), as well as it being one of my new favourite nail varnish colours (one of OPI's best).

#6 - From A Movie You Like.

One of my favourite movies ever is 'The Notebook'. I read the book but there is something so beautiful about the filming of the movie, of seeing the relationship between Allie and Noah in motion, that makes me smile and get teary no matter how many times I watch it. As a result, I can't choose one quote from the movie, so I have decided to post a few of my favourites:



"Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone."




"So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday."


"I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough."


"She had come back into his life like a sudden flame; blazing and streaming into his heart. Noah stayed up all night contemplating the certain agony he knew would be his if he were to lose her twice. "

Rum Cherry Coffee Cake.



By following the variations section of the Victoria Sandwich recipe in Nigella's 'How To Be A Domestic Goddess', I made a Rum Cherry Coffee Cake earlier this week. I used rum cherry flavoured coffee in the mixture, and then used vanilla buttercream as the filling for the sandwich and I am more than happy with the results!

Sweet Tooth.



I love cake, in pretty much any form. As well as eating cook, I love making cakes - sponge sandwiches, cupcakes, cheesecakes...YUM. In a dream world, I would love to get enough practice in and be good enough to open my own little bakery, which would serve an assortment of delicious treats and various teas and coffees. This is all wishful thinking, of course, because in reality I have already chosen the career I want, and in another dream world I would also be a author, spending all of my time writing. But for today I will daydream about cakes and tea, and satisfying my own sweet tooth as well as others.
