"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

Time to Smile.
Things have been crazy busy the past few days. I want to London for the weekend to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday, which was a fantastic time, complete with hog roast, never ending supplies of treats, a lot of alcohol and at least 13 people (if not more) camped out in a marquee. As if this wasn't enough reason for a celebration, my best friend had her baby early on Monday morning, a teeny tiny little girl who is absolutely beautiful; I am counting down the days until I can go home and meet her, and start to spoil her rotten. In fact, despite feeling ill over the past few days, I have been in an extremely good mood: on Friday I received my results from the year and managed to pass a lot better than expected, today I had books delivered from Amazon which always makes me extremely happy and have just been sat around drinking tea and finally reading for myself again, something I have been waiting for for months! I am finding that days are difficult to fill with nothing to do and so have decided as well as reading, I am going to spend my time attempting to find a job, which is actually rather hard. However, I will not give up and will try and establish some kind of routine, otherwise I will be at risk of going insane.
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.
