"ONE THING I AM NEVER GOING TO DO WHEN I GROW UP
Is fall in love, drop out of college, learn to subsist on water and air, have a species named after me, and ruin my life." - Nicole Krauss: The History of Love

Little April Showers?
This month has been a slow one, but extremely fast at the same time. Two weeks in the house out of term time turned into epic study sessions in the library, with two and a bit essays complete by the time I was ready to come home for the final two weeks of the holiday. Now, with only 1000 words (or thereabouts) to go, I am beginning to realise that April is coming to a close, which means May is almost here. May, this year at least, signals deadlines, exams and the end of my teenage years. So I am sat here, wondering where the days have gone, and I am finding the answers in the pile of books in the corner and the many thousands of words alredy written.
Recently, my favourite time wasting activity is to trawl through the many pages of weheartit.com, which one of my housemates introduced me to a few weeks ago. Going through all of the pictures gets me thinking, and lately there have been a few recurring thoughts:
- I want book shelves that stretch across an entire wall, filled with all of my favourite books and all of the books I hope to read in the future.
- There has been a distinct lack of rain this April, which means I haven't had the opportunity to sing "drip drip drop, little april showers..."
- I want a dress that will flare outwards when I spin around in circles, which I tend to do regularly when alone.
introspective, adj. having the quality of looking within; examining into one's own thoughts, feelings, or mental condition, or expressing such examination. (OED)
A little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing.
Snack food in vast quantities. A large cup of tea, 2 sweeteners. Loud music, long books and late nights. Black and white movies, rain storms, big sunglasses, painted nails and a never ending 'to read' list.
WE HEART WEHEARTIT :D suuuuuuuuch a blackhole for time though.
