just something i feel you all should read

writer's block

x

right now.

my life is boring.
all i want is this weekend.
and then next weekend is the party, im not the best with parties, especially when 92 people have replied on facebook - 'attending'.

what did people do before facebook to invite people to parties...i don't even know?
and what did people do to say they were officially going out before facebook and the 'in a relationship' status.

i really should try and come up with some interesting things to write about in this blog. but i have a simple mind which is amused by pretty shoes, pretty dresses and not so pretty women in sex and the city.

currently, i am enjoying eating a lot of soup.
it's thick soup, so i think i can technically call it 'eating'
i have also been eating at least 5 pieces of fruit/veg a day.
my new years resolution was to eat more fruit. my shelf in the fridge is currently filled with melon slices, mango slices, pomegranite seeds and a mix of pineapple, kiwi and grapes.

and this is my life....
dull isn't it.

i'm obsessed

with this dress.

and wet look leggings.

and anything that distracts me from revision.

and 50% off at pizza hut.

my love for girls aloud grows ever stronger

i talk about how much i love girls aloud so much, that i thought i'd examine why and what i love about them.

it started in 2002, with postars: the rivals, which i watched religiously for however many weeks it was on for, watching it now, they were all pretty rubbish! none of them were fantastic singers, and i think they're definitely a lot stronger now:



so, they released the amazing single 'sound of the underground'

which went straight to number one

the album 'sound of the underground' was released and the singles 'no good advice' and 'life got cold'. after this, 'jump' appeared in love actually.
all of these singles were top 5.

'the show' was the first single from their second album 'what will the neighbours say?'

i think i'd personally say the singles from this album are some of my favourite girls aloud songs, as 'the show' was followed by 'love machine',

and after their cover of 'i'll stand by you' they released 'wake me up'


all great singles.
also, at this point, kimberley is looking amazing with her dark hair.

only single really worth talking about from 'chemistry' is 'biology'
i used to hate this song, i thought it was three songs squished together, and it was boring.
but now i love it, and look at their pretty dresses, i think this is when their style started to form...

all of the girls looking pretty awesome there. especially cheryl.

'something kinda oooh' is on their singles collection, it is definitely one of my favourite songs by them, it makes me want to dance whenever i listen to it.



'sexy, no no no' was the first single from 'tangled up' and was followed by 'call the shots' and 'i can't speak french' none of these are my favourites, and i lost a lot of interest in girls aloud at this point.

however, i was wrong, and i really like this album now.
but it was followed up by 'out of control' which i love, look at the dresses and the hair...


and their most recent single 'the loving kind' is just as good...


i will now be as obsessed by girls aloud as i am now until i see them love in may
i really am SO excited

2008 is nearly over

it started at a dinner party, bringing in the new year with ryan for the first time. i then turned 19, and felt old, went back to uni and passed january exams. had a stressful time at the beginning of february, but had the most amazing holiday in paris which made me completely sure i was doing the right thing. i don't really remember anything that happened in march, i'm sure something did, but oh well. april, i saw derren brown live and it was amazing, and things started getting sorted...gradually. soon, it was may and exams and i was no longer a fresher. summer went on forever, i watched every episode of buffy the vampire slayer and basically did nothing. moved back to uni 4 weeks earlier than anything but didn't do any of the work i was meant to. celebrated my two year anniversary with ryan by going to filey for the weekend and saw the mighty boosh in york. october involved the return of laura field to liverpool for the best night out in...well, maybe one of my best nights out ever. november, i went home for a weekend, and finally realised how much i miss home when i'm in liverpool. had a really difficult semester in terms of work, but managed to get good marks in coursework. then it was december, saw the mighty boosh again and bill bailey live, two amazing nights. christmas was spent in leeds with ryan and his family, it was different but lovely. back home today to bring in new years with my parents.

happy new year everyone :)
