a crack on the head is what you get for asking.

First of all, I know my blogging skills are sporadically awful and ajfghftr there are just words that I can't express because ill and confused. My new year's resolution is to just listen to and make music aaaall the live long day forever and have lilac hair and be ALONE apart from cats and a select few fun gals (ie Sophie).

Another reason for my bad blogging is that I cannot abide using photobucket. It frustrates me immensely and I dislike it with a childish intensity. So, here are some things that are in my possession as of late..

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures, The Smiths - Meat Is Murder, Lana Del Rey - Born To Die Paradise Edition

Needless to say when I received the Lana cd I was a mess of girl-crush giggles and anticipation, I hadn't heard some of the Paradise stuff. My favourite song on it at the moment is American, its very beautiful despite being weirdly patriotic. Cola is also an instant classic, kudos Lana "don't treat me rough, treat me really niceys". I got the other two cds with a HMV voucher I got for Christmas. When I'm well enough I shall do an outfit post showing you lovely people some new clothes I have too - tartan jeans and a Bowie tshirt for the WIN.

Patrick Wolf - Archive EP 1

Oh, there were tears. I may be silly, but it is signed by him so my tears are legit (IT REALLY IS, OK). And he drew little birds and stars and 'wrote made with love in London by Patrick Wolf' ohhh. So many things I love in one thing. And the cd itself is a demo-and-rare-stuff delight. THERE'S A DEMO FROM 1999 AND AND I'll stop now.

This BEAUTIFUL ruffly, floral and everything-good blouse came in the post from Texas from my fairy Godmother. It is Free People and it is magnificent. It has puffy sleeves and a cinched waist and I plan to wear it with my white 50s circle skirt as soon as the weather allows it. Oh, and with these too...

EEP AREN'T THEY SO PRETTY?! A gift from my mum. They are vintagey-crochety-wonderfulness.

I made a crochet headband, yay for that! I'm thinking of making many and putting them on etsy, what d'you reckon? 

Belated hugs to you all

so you're ill, huh?

I'm ill. This, for me, means my Hello Kitty dressing gown, woollen socks and blankets in abundance.

It also means I'll be able to do lots of blogging, yay ~ *cough* yay ~

First of all, here is a list of things that are good to do when you're ill.

1. Eat/drink soup: It's a classic for ill or wintery times. A good and easy recipe for soup is Bouillon stock with boiling water in a mug. Takes like 3 minutes to make, it's genius.
2. Surround yourself with duvets, pillows, tissues (and cats, whenever possible): Soft things are always good. And cats are extra good because they're company too.
3. Sleep in the daytime: BECOME CAT. Some people find it hard to sleep in the daytime, but I find it really helps sometimes. If sleeping is not an option, just arrange yourself in mounds of blankets and fluffy things and relaaax(I personally love hibernating and being nocturnal, its so fun).
4. Have a nice bath: the nicest baths are to be had at night time. Wait til it's completely dark outside, then light lots of pretty candles and DON'T FALL ASLEEP IN THE BATH TUB. DANGEROUS.
5. Paint or draw: sometimes using a creative outlet can distract from being ill. Try and stick to painting happy things (e.g. unicorns, rainbows) to encourage your illness to go away.
6. Sew/knit/crochet: If you can't go to school, then you may as well be productive in some way. And this way you can make more warm things to help you get better (une example; making crochet squares and then joining them into a biiiig cosy quilt).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and do a few of these. 

Bye kittens

I like how the pages click.

This includes a quote badass quote from Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing.

I am wildly protective over my sketch/stick stuff down pad. I bar anyone but my best friends and my mother from looking in it. Today when I had to show a homework I did in it to my art teacher I felt like seizing my pad and running away with it, as soon as she had seen my homework. Its got to that point ( which I love ) when the pages click when you move them and the spine is rather fragile.
