I have a drawer...

...a very special drawer,

where my mum collected all kinds of things from my childhood.

necklaces, baby teeth, christening gifts...

birthday bits, good luck cards, dance show programmes...

...and things that were owned by people I never knew.

Do you have a place where you keep special things from your childhood? (Apart from your heart <3)

12 Days Class Meme

:: It would be amazing if my house really was a shop like . . .
Something from the 1930s,40s, 50s.

A cross between a mountain trek shop and a big mess.


:: The best-stocked area of my house has got to be . . .
My mister's side of the wardrobe. He has more clothes than I do :O


:: But I'm not sure I would dare do a stock-take of my . . .
Freezer. It's vvvvvery icy.


:: I could actually open my doors right now and sell off most of my . . . and I'd still have plenty left.
I could sell off my Mister's stuff...but I don't think he'd be very happy :P


:: If I could go shopping in someone else's house I'd choose . . .

Where the trees meet the track.

That is where I am going

and there will be no turning.

Kick up those leaves and there will be nothing to cover you

when you sleep among the roots,

wanting warmth from the only orange you can find.

Do they burn?

All I know is that I'm free.

Currently reading...

(someone credited this to the tumblr home page...if you know whose work it is let me know <3)

Oh holy  moly, it's getting frosty here in Wales. My car was completely frozen when I left for work this morning. Yes you did read correctly. I have a job! Have I already told you that? Ah well, it's worth shouting  from the rooftops! Don't get too excited, it's not dream job material, but a job is a job.  Let's all jump up and down in unison.

I'm using my spare time more carefully now I don't have much of it left. Hopefully I'll be blogging more often now i've got a usb keyboard for my laptop. Yes, guys. My laptop is royally frakked. The upside of the situation is that I can sit on my bed with the laptop half way down it and me curled up all cosy with the keyboard, typing away without worrying that i'm going to burn the skin off my thighs or set fire to the bedspread...the latter has never happened but you never can tell.

This week i'm planning on catching up with my bedtime reading. First to finish is Stephen Fry's new autobiography, then Eat Pray Love, and after all that i'll start the monster of a book called Beginning HTML, XHTML, CSS and Javascript. 

Ignore the dozy look in my eye! Looks like it'll be good bedtime reading, sending me right off to sleep :P

What's on your bedtime reading list?

XOXO

EDIT: full of typos today...blame it on the new keyboard :$

Why cats are awesome

cred

There are many reasons cats are awesome, some are outlined in the picture above. My particular favourite is floppy, but they are by no means the only reasons why cats are the bo-dizzly. 

1. They can squeeze through small spaces making them perfect for ninja adventures.

2. No need to buy a winter wardrobe, my friends! If you are a kitty you will grow one automatically.

3. Naturally humourous. Ever seen a cat chasing it's tail or swinging from a door handle... exactly.

4. Strutting. They know they were born with awesome inside.

cred.

I want a kitty. A big fat one. With fluff.

Please.

XOXO
