Well we're 5 hours away from 2006 and I'm slowly getting excited! Just came back from the firework display, it was quite pretty!

So, my best memories from this year are:

* moving in with Andy
* dying my hair pink
* getting a fringe for the first time in 10 years
* being thinner than ever! (although it only lasted a few months)
* starting a course I like in uni
* making new friends
* starting my first proper job
* quitting my first proper job
* feeling free and independent
* travelling a lot
* having spiritual epiphanies

I'm sure I'm leaving several things out... and bad memories I'd rather forget about.

New year's resolutions: becomer a bit stronger and stand up for myself more, in other words become a bit of a bitch, and to be girly again All other resolutions are unrealistic, I'm not gonna stop biting my nails, start thinking before I speak/act, and start living in the same planet as everyone else. Being spontaneous and perhaps slightly crazy is a good thing man!!

OK enough nonsense. The songs that remind me of things that happened this year are 'beating heart baby' by Head Automatica, 'wake me up when september ends' by Green Day, 'momo' by Andrew, 'mr brightside' by The Killers, 'coming around' by Juliette And The Licks, 'ravenous' by Finch, 'let there be love' by Oasis, 'bet you look good on the dancefloor' by the Arctic Monkeys and errrm lots more but I'm gonna stop here.

See you next year!

Love,

Mon xx

Ooh joy!

Christmas is gone but the aftershocks of it are still affecting me. Luckily I have a good metabolism so I havent put much weight on (not yet anyway, just wait until all the cakes catch up with me)! Nonetheless I'm gonna start living on fruit smoothies and soup from now on. Yea, yep... one of my pressies was a cool smoothie maker So! What have I been up to... eating, eating, sleeping, eating some more, eating so much that I cant see food or I'll be sick, dancing, and have I mentioned eating? God I'm so easily amused!! Aaand last night I went out with Andy and Cleo and had fun, before getting scared of the old drugged people surrounding us... thank God for that taxi that miraculously stopped next to us at 3:30am! That's a first... Oh and this morning I have a mysterious big red scracth on my hand! Weird man!!!

This year's christmas song is 'bet you look good on the dancefloor' by the Arctic Monkeys! It has to be, I've been unconsciously singing it for the past err long time. And today's perfum is Curious! Yummy.

Love and jolly cheer,

Mon xx

Hello hello!

I decided to give my blog a little makeover for the new year (I know I'm a week ahead), isnt it gorgeous?! I am a little bit upset though because I get too emotionally attached to errr everything, so I am gonna miss my original 'safari' design. But hey, being a marketeer, I know you have to keep up to date, and pink is the new safari. I'm not the kind of marketeer who follows trends, I set them. Get used to it.

I havent been up to much other than sleeping loads, eating loads and watching loads of tv, so I'll come back and write something soon!

Today's song is 'Date with the night' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! And today's perfum is DKNY. Ooh maybe PODD (perfum of the day in case you didnt guess) will become a new trend!

Love,

Mon xx

Hi hi,

The last post wasnt very happy so I decided to leave you with a happier one this time. Here's a poem from the film 10 Things I Hate About You:

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare

I hate the way you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

No song today!

See I told you this post was gonna be happier than the last I'm happier today cos I've eaten a whole box of marzipan sweets yummmmm

Love,

Mon xx

I've had the shittiest day ever. Proved the point that I am indeed spoilt and a wimp and I let my fear of the unknown consume every little piece of me down to the very core. To what extent is it ok to be afraid? Honestly, I've crossed that line. So far past the line that the line is a dot to me! Ok just so you know what the I'm on about, I went to hospital last night to have an op and woke up this morning much worse from the bloody laryngitis that has been hunting me down since I was little. Yes, today. The day I was supposed to have the op. Coincidence or fate?! Dont get me started on that again!!! Sooo doctors and I agreed it's best to postpone it. Not only because I'm half dead as it is, but also because I am irrational. Yes, irrational, ok?!

But anyway, on a brighter note... at least I can chew my christmas dinner now! And and and I can get a new piercing and it'll have time to heal!

Today's song is the song I was gonna let decide whether I should stay in hospital or not - 'The Middle' by Jimmy Eat World!! Thank you, that really helped, song!!

Love,

Mon xx

Hiya,

Went out on friday with my mates and had lots of fun, it's amazing what a drink can do to your inhibitions! We danced all night and ignored the perverts fantasizing about me and my friend cos we were dancing holding hands, oh people people!! Girls can do that and get away with it, shame men cant see it that way. My other friend was too busy with someone else, he he he. Will have to have a repeat soon!

I've finished 1/6 of my course at uni, quite proud of myself for managing to stick at it this time! Woohoo I was born to be a marketeer and make people give into their temptations and fulfil their superfluous needs by nagging them into buying things they dont need!! As if, I'm gonna work in advertising and come up with the most original ads ever. Love the strawberry cows one! Ooo and the new CK1 one, I have a strange obsession with black and white ads with cool people dancing in the background. Actually I'm gonna be a public relations manager to the stars. Me in fact. I'm gonna be my own PR person when I'm a famous rockstar. Someone's had too much sugar.

Today's song is 'All that I've got' by The Used! 'Asleep I still see you lying next to me'...

Love,

Mon xx

I've had such a productive day! Music, music, sporadically falling asleep and being woken up by the noise on MTV, more music, chatting to friends and er, more music? This is my last week in uni and I'm getting excited yet fretful at the prospect of the christmas holidays! Lovely but ever so slightly unnerving at times. For the first time ever I've done all my christmas shopping before christmas eve! And I'm so proud of myself!! Let's just see how long Miss-I-Cant-Keep-Surprises waits to give the prezzies away I'm too impatient and curious...cant help it!

Today's song is 'Shatter' by Feeder!

Love,

Mon xx

Hello there,

What a lovely grey day! Puts you right off from the minute you get up and look out the window!
Another assignment's been handed in but there's still a lot to do before the end of the week and I'm not happy about the amount of headaches I've had over the past week! What's with the depressive wheather anyway? Need to take some happy pills! Or go out soon and have fuuuun! Mwahahaha!!

I'm also very upset cos I cant get my hair done, thanks to evil henna!!! Apparently my hair would 'snap like chewing gum'. Oh no worries, I can get it done when it grows out, yea ok just wait about 5 years! Humph.

Today's song is the song I heard on the radio earlier and dont know what it's called or who sings it =/

Love,

Mon xx
