Untouched

I can't stop listening to this song! It is definitely my favourite song right now. It's weird, my favourite genre of music is rock, but I am loving poppy/indie stuff right now. My playlists consist of La Roux, Ladyhawke, Lady Gaga.. Fun summery stuff that I just can't help but dance to.

I didn't think I was going to get a holiday this year, but yay.. I am going to France this coming Saturday for a week! My friend's parents have kindly let us borrow their house, so I am looking forward to getting away for a week and relaxing. I don't think the weather is going to be brilliant, and I'm going to be nowhere near a beach. BUT! We are staying on a farmhouse with it's own lake, so I plan on taking a load of books and chilling out at the side of the lake reading reading reading. And in preparation for this, I have bought a few books that have been sitting on my Amazon wishlist for a while:

• Anthropology: And a Hundred Other Stories by Dan Rhodes
• In The Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami

• Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
• New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
• Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer

I know I am going to get mocked endlessly by my friends for taking the Twilight books with me, but I can't help it - I love Edward Cullen!

Things I Love Thursday!

First post! Instead of an intro, I give you instead a Things I Love Thursday!

♥ Cheese and tomatoes on toast. I've only just discovered tomatoes. After years of thinking I don't like them, and so avoiding them, I've now found out that I love them and I just can't get enough of them. Strange.

♥ Vampires! I must be the only person in the world not to have fallen under the Twilight spell.. yet. I bought the book a while ago, just to find out what the fuss is all about, and, I have to admit it, I'm hooked. I'm already half way through, and I'm finding myself swooning for Edward Cullen. (I've yet to see the film though, so I haven't gone crazy for Robert Pattinson!) But it's not just Twilight I'm having crazy undead love for - there's also True Blood. Slightly more saucy than Twilight, but just as captivating. And how much do I adore the Southern American accents!

♥ Puppies! My mom's dogs, Millie and Ty had their second litter of pups just over two weeks ago, and they are ADORABLE. There's 7 of them all together, and they're already proving a bit of a handful for poor Millie, who's not producing enough milk to keep the hungry little things full. So, they're having to be bottle fed to keep them happy. I made sure that I helped out with the feeding when I went to visit this past weekend.

♥ These Alexander McQueen boots. I need them.

♥ Blogger! I can't get enough of finding new and inspirational Blogs to read. I love seeing the art other people make, even if it makes me crazy jealous that I'm not nearly as creative as you all.

♥ Painted Nails. Bright reds, electric blues, darkest black.. I'm painting my nails any colour that will stand out against the boredom and monotony of my work uniform.

♥ The last day of work before my annual leave! Tomorrow is the last day before I finish for two whole weeks of rest and relaxation! I have no plans yet, but I cannot wait to have TWO WHOLE WEEKS in a row, away from the stress of work.

♥ Spotify. This is such an awesome concept. I can listen to any music, any album, and create a tonne of playlists, without downloading anything! (Apart from the software.) My favourite feature though, is that it lets you share playlists between other Spotify users. If anyone has this, you can check out my playlist of fun music I'm enjoying right now by clicking here.

♥ Handmade/Altered Journals. I've been going crazy browsing Etsy looking at the handmade journals and diaries, and they've given me inspiration to have a go at something myself...
