Since returning from London I've been kind of 'living in analysation'. Kind of, analysing every thought, action and things I say at all times. It's so strange, I've been in my head a lot and I think it's because I'm at a stage where I've had a small taste of creating a new life for myself, and then it's been taken away. So I suppose a part of me wants that life to continue, that mentality to continue... just in a different place. Unfortunately that place is Tamworth and it's probably the most uninspiring place you could enter into, hence; staying inside my head. I've always been one to want much more, I suppose I have this vision of looking back in twenty years and thinking... "not much happened, I got a job, paid my rent, had a boyfriend, bout it, I suppose I'll buy a new towel rack for my birthday." (That scares the living daylight out of me.) I want to look back and think, "GOD I did so much! And now, I'm a" (for example) "french and Dutch speaking fashion designer, who did four years at uni in amsterdam, travelled in india for a while before settling in a Paris flat with flowers and sculptures everywhere, no money, but what an amazing life I've had, and so much more to come!" Is that so much to ask?
When I was very young I wanted to be a singer (as we all did, probably), I used to call myself Floria and I wrote to the Big Breakfast asking them whether I could come and sing on their show. They declined, but hell, for a four/five year old I had guts!
So I suppose right now I'm trying to find things to make me happy. Not that I'm depressed or anything, just finding something to make me feel like I'm making progress, making a difference to myself, making a memory. I've started making cakes, which if you know me is rather the shocker... People die when I cook. I've also started a little design project which is going rather good, but it is challenging.
Anyhow, I stumbled across an article in Yahoo today on how to live longer ( sounds strange, but hear me out!)
1. Laugh more
2. Adjust sleeping time
3. Eat more Garlic
4. Boost your sex life
5. Drink tea!!!
6. Drink red wine!!
7. Regular self examination.
8. Regular smears/prostate tests
9. Monitor your toilet behaviour
10. Drink more water
11. Get more friends
12. No smoking
13. Relax
14. Get a pet
15. Exercise more
16. Eat more fruit and veg
17. Change jobs
18. Have a happy marriage
19. Be optimistic
20. Eat chocolate!!
I think if you're feeling really down on life you need to have a look at this list because, this list itself will probably help you achieve number 19, (a big big big must in my book) because apart from monitoring toilet behaviours and the dreaded smears, this list is great! You can eat chocolate, drink red wine, drink heaps of tea and laugh yourself silly and live longer because of it! How bloody fantastic. Ohhh.
I'm always looking for little ambitious things to do, so if anyone has any little things or ideas hidden away, please, DO TELL.
At the moment I have discovered a few little pleasures,
1.
There is no words to express how happy this makes me.
2. COFFEE.
3. Dutch tapes
4. Random trips to Sutton Park
5. Swimmings.
Tata!

Gawd I'm excited to see your design project, even though I have no Idea what it is. Hint hint.
Do you still want to do that style birmingham thing? I mean it would have to wait until i got back from spain if you did, but the show isn't till the 10th i think, which would give us a good couple of weeks. Good practice for the short projects in foundation. I don't know. Just a thought:) x
Well I hear you have a couple of prjects on the go missy. Tell me, and I'll tell you. ;)
Yeah sure, I'll draft up an email now. Do you think that I should tell Emily (teacher) about it? Seeming though it might run into college. I'm up for it though, anything to keep me busy!
I can't wait to get back to college, just for a vanilla creame ice! YOM. You go away soon! Have lots of fun you! x
Oh mine arn't that exciting, just editing a video for priscas birthday that me and ellie made, and finishing off a coat i was making for my uncle. Although im not motivated enough cos atm it looks shit. Menswear = not my thing!
So tell me butch:)
Yeah might be best to tell emily, I reckon she'll get whatsherface (i forgot her name) reporter from college on it again. Mooorrreee coverage. Hahahaha.
We HAVE to celebrate? (if thats the right word) being back at college with a vanilla creame ice. We MUST!
x
Oh, well I'm kind of doing a patchwork project. I have like so many bits of fabric around so I'm doing patchwork and attempting to make it sheik and not frumpy. A bit of a play on shapes and stuff, one outfit, hopefully fit enough to be shot. Hopefully. Portfolio and all that lark.
I'm sure it's great, I couldn't imagine doing menswear, I love boobs too much. hahahahahaa
SHOBBY! Yeah probably, or she'll turn round and say that we can't do it cuz of college :/
OMG. Vanilla Creame Ice PARTY! xx
