I'm not sure how to explain the last couple of weeks, so I figured I'd put it in its most simple form. Words.
Blackberry, boyfriend, burgers, bus pass, Clarissa presentation, Discord, drinks, essays, fajitas, flowers, glitter, gossip, hangover, heavy metal, I.D., iris, Jaeger bombs, junk food, Lexie, money, Motley Crue, music, parodies, photos, Poo-Na-Nas, sex, shots, teacakes, Valentine’s, work.
Love always kittens.

A new page?
An odd thing has happened. For the first time, in a long time, I am happy. I am not sure if it is a medicated happiness, a turning point in my own confidence or just a fortunate turn of events, but either way I am not going to resist this time. I often find myself sabotaging my own happiness, but I am trying to simply enjoy it this time.
My life is now about great friends, great times and great music. And that is very much ok with me.

Doctors, dates, and my Dad the dude
Good afternoon my kittens,
I haven’t blogged in a few weeks now, but honestly I haven’t been sure what to say.
I guess the most important change in my life is that after years of hiding from it, self-diagnosing and being terrified, I finally went to speak to a doctor. I am not sure I have ever been more nervous, or given a bigger sigh of relief. I have to give a huge amount of love to Dad for how great he has been to me over Christmas. I definitely think we’re even closer now and I am incredibly lucky to have such an awesome Dad.
In regards to gossip, I have some for you. I suppose there is a boy in my life at the moment. Now he’s not a boyfriend – by my own choice – but he is definitely lovely. I’m very happy, and lucky, that someone is willing to put up with my company, and hopefully I won’t mess it all up somehow.
Now, if you read my last couple of blog posts, you’ll know that part of my New Year’s resolution is be more positive about myself. I think I am actually doing okay with this one. I am definitely more confident (for whatever reason) and I am definitely more comfortable with the way I look. I am still incredibly insecure, I still think I am terrifically ugly. I just think that a lot less than I used to. If that makes sense. Well it does to me.
Work is good, university is tough but good, and my money situation isn’t so bad anymore. Although I do need a new phone because mine is slowly but surely dying.
I’ll be more specific/salacious/scintillating/silly/sarcastic next time kittens, but for now I have lots of reading to do.
Love always,
-A

Music blog
I have a music blog that I post on occasionally on Tumblr.
Mostly it's for posting anything that I write in regards to music reviews or recommendations. I'm hoping to keep this up this year and to get more of a variety of music on there. So far it seems to be mostly rock but that it's because I've been writing less and for some reason I find it easier to turn to rock music for a boost of music enthusiasm.
Anyways, it's called The Never Ending Playlist and you can find it HERE if you want to check it out.

A fresh start...
This year, my resolution is simply to be better. To be a nicer, more understanding, less selfish, more focused, more in control and happier person. Obviously it is not an easy resolution to always keep, but the beauty of it is that if I mess up, tomorrow is always a new day to start again with it. It’s not like giving up smoking where if you have one cigarette then you’ve ruined the whole point of a New Year’s resolution. There is a lot I want to change and I hope that I can accomplish at least some of these things.
The very first thing I want to change: my attitude towards myself. It is so unhealthy to always hate yourself. I hate everything from my appearance to my personality at the moment, and I want that to stop. I don’t want to feel sick at the sight of myself, I want to feel wonderful no matter I look like. I know it’s a psychological change, not a physical one, that needs to happen with me and I’m going to try and crack down on my negative thinking.
It has also become blatantly obvious to me that staying away from boys seems to be the best move I could make for my romantic life. I am not ready to trust someone completely and I do not feel good enough about myself to feel secure in a relationship right now. Things will need to change before I could take that step with someone. Not that I am exactly inundated with offers these days… but I know what I mean.
I hope to write more and definitely update my music blog more often. I’m hoping I’ll be able to go to some shows, locally and maybe otherwise, to watch bands and write reviews about them. The lovely Letty told me that that is probably my best bet for getting into this whole music journalism thing and I am inclined to believe her. Also, I just love going to shows. Jen and Johnny (aka Wacky Jen and Patrick Swayze) both said they’d love to go to watch some local band shows at Moles every now and then, so hopefully I won’t have to go alone! Perhaps I could even attempt to send some to magazines/newspapers… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet.
I also need to start being smarter with my money. I know if I work for it, I can have enough money for rent, bills and food each month, as well a little thing for myself if I budget. It’s a matter of limitation but I am definitely already better at that. I’m much more respectful about money, or a lack of money, these days.
There are smaller things I would like to happen: getting my first tattoo, starting up driving lessons again, deleting Facebook perhaps, drawing more, taking a lot of lovely photographs and putting them up onto Flickr as a little portfolio thing, visit the clubs in Bath that I haven’t done yet... You know, smaller, less important things. They are still goals that I have for myself this year, but they’re not as major as the other changes.
Anyway, the point is that I want to make this year a million miles better than last year. I’m closing the door on 2010, and letting it stay firmly shut.
Happy New Year kittens, I hope you have a fabulous 2011 full of fun and frolicking and food and fierceness and far too many laughs to be healthy.

Muppets
I think I am putting a lot of pressure on myself for this Christmas.
Firstly, I am hoping to correct a serious, possibly permanent problem in my life. I have mixed feelings about how things will go, I am unsure of what I want to happen in this department of my life.
Secondly, I have family drama to (hopefully) fix. I am just hoping that things will work out for the best and that we will all have a lovely Christmas time.
Thirdly, I have lost touch with almost all of my friends back home so I am not sure how this will play out whilst I am back. I might be lonely a lot.
Fourthly, my New Year’s Eve will be spent working back here in Bath at the good old Salamander pub. I’m hoping that they will pay me time and a half or something, but it might be unlikely. It isn’t like I had any plans about New Year’s so it’s fine, and better earning money than doing nothing. Still, the cost of my train tickets might cancel this out.
Fifthly(?), I have an essay to write. A 2,000 word essay for my Critical Reading 2 (core) module. It won’t be fun, but hopefully it won’t be torturous to write. 2,000 words isn’t too bad, right?
Really what I need to do is relax and to revaluate things and start fresh in 2011. That is my plan: to just figure out how to be better and how to be happier I suppose. Hopefully things will get easier, or at least more simple… I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
I head back home to the (sometimes) lovely Northampton town tomorrow, to spend time with my Dad, eat the world’s best Chinese food and watch The Muppet’s Christmas Carol in preparation for Jesus’ 38947384738478327498372943289th birthday. I hear he always gets wasted on Jaeger bombs and tequila shots. Dude is hardcore.
Love always my little kittens! Have fabulous Christmases and I will see you all for more fun and frolics in the new year.
Meow for now,

DISCLAIMER: Sorry my blog is so depressing lately guys. So far it's been a serious depressfest, but this is probably the roughest time I've had in life and that inevitably shows itself in my complaints here. I'm 100% planning a life overhaul with the coming of this break and the new year, so hopefully things will pick up and my life will become more exciting and fun and happy. I know no-one wants to read me moaning on all the time.

The merits of having a job
One of the best things about having a job: I get paid. In money. Actual money. Weekly. How brilliant is that? Well, it would be super awesome except that it’s December and therefore I have a million birthdays and Christmas presents to buy. But still it’s definitely nice to get your first ever pay slip/wages.
In other news, I have actually managed to finish my Gothic essay so I can relax and actually enjoy my weekend! Genius.
I almost feel as productive as this guy. Except not really because this is amazing:
