"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

Therapy.
I have often heard people say that money can't buy happiness. Some of you will say, "well of course, to buy happiness is impossible as happiness is a feeling and not an object" etc etc. However, as a firm believer in retail therapy, I do believe that sometimes money or, more specifically, spending money is the best way to brighten yourself up, something which I have needed over the past few days. Today, I went into town with a housemate where we spent no more than a few hours browsing shops and talking about the freedom of having no exams, and it was some of the best time I have spent out in a while. I got myself a new skirt - black, perfect for day or night and just what I have been looking for - from COW, a simple patterned top from New Look and two books to add to my summer reading pile from WHSmith. All in all, a good day, topped off by the most amazing banoffee milkshake (which was sadly all gone before there was time to take a picture).
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.
