beach drive
i want to be able to drive so bad. these past few glorious days have left me with a thirst for the beach, and i've always had a bit of a thing for beaches. but, i need two things first, a car and a drivers licence (mine preferably). the very moment i'm given my licence, i plan to grab a friend and go on a road trip. to the beach. which beach, i have yet to decide.
road trip!

cliched generation
my generation is weird. it's like a collaboration of all other generations thrown together. i don't mean it in the literal sense, i mean it in the way that we are the "Internet" generation. there was the whole 80's "Fame" generation, the 60's "Beatles" generation etc. however, our generation turns out some very odd products.

dream clean sleep books
i really am in shock that even after four full holiday classed days, my body still wants to wake up before 9am. don't get me wrong, as i've said before, mornings are a lost treasure to that of teenagers. but still, am i completely deluded for wanting, just for a few hours, to fall into that clichéd stereotype of sleeping until noon? to be fair, for half of the aforementioned days, i have actually needed to be up before 9am. so i don't fully blame my body.

Book #1: Paper Towns - John Green
luckily enough, only a few days after discovering this novel, my gorgeous friend Jasmine announced on twitter that she was infact midway through it. i expressed my great interest in it, and a mere four days later i had finished it myself. since 9:30 this morning, i have had my head glued to these very pages. desperately absorbing the plot and impatiently awaiting the conclusion. i measure a book on how many emotion-filled, touching and inspirational moments the writer manages to create, with a really powerful effect every time. this novel, made me lose count. i want to delve into every part of the story, and discuss every event, yet, i do not wish to spoil it for any possible readers, so i will simply say: you cannot come close to reading this story, without reading it. nothing can prepare you for this. John Green must be eating imagination beans for breakfast, because Paper Towns is teeming with creativity; pure comedy, fear, excitement and just overall memorably brilliant moments.

sunshine, sunshine
so, London was awesome. it easily beat any day in any other city. just like Star Trek kicked Star Wars's ass out of orbit. majorly. and this is from someone who has always had a soft spot for Star Wars - and never before seen even one episode of Star Trek. that good, i promise you.

skinny paper city
today, i bought my first ever pair of skinny jeans. for months i have been dying to buy some, and today, i found the first pair that didn't make my legs look like that of Pavarotti's. this has made me incredibly happy.
as you can now see, i have finally decided to upload a profile picture of me. ahh, lovely. i am rebelling against all of those people who are terrified of the internet. who think that every teenage girl on the internet is just a time bomb, waiting to be murdered and raped by bearded middle aged computer analysts from the suburbs. so, ta da! screw you scaremongers! that is my face. now try finding me and raping me. i dare you.

soap
so the gods of blogging and posting are pretty much against me at the moment. throwing obstacles in my way allowing me just not to type anything! and this is killing me. i mean, i couldn't even get onto youtube for twenty four hours. i think something inside me died.
- boys. - yeah well i'm a teenage girl, it comes with the territory
- i am currently having an allergic reaction to my new shampoo and conditioner. my back is all itchy and rash-like; a month before i have to parade around an auditorium in a backless dress. fantastic.
- we have switched to poor person soap.
i have now secured my english literature grade. that's a bit frightening. although, i think i did okay. if i didn't, my possible career in writing is over. i might as well apply for a job in mcdonalds, because i really can't think of anything which even comes close to writing. my reward for finishing my english literature exam was getting to read something other than the selected texts! over the past few months i have felt completely and utterly isolated from every other book on the planet. which normally isn't a big deal. but lately, i have craved reading like a heavily pregnant woman craves spring rolls at six o'clock in the morning. so to aid my suffering, i have compiled a list of every book i wish to read between now and september.
- The Catcher in the Rye
- Lord of the Flies
- American Psycho
- A Clockwork Orange
- The Grapes of Wrath
- Nineteen Eighty Four
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower
- Paper Towns
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Jelly Beans
okay, the truth is, i want to write a long, meaty piece of writing. filled to the brim with interesting topics and such. i'm absolutely dying to write. i want to use eccentrically juicy words in sentences that make authors and english professors drool. however, i have the attention span of a gnat. i get distracted by pretty much anything within a metres range. this includes:
- five day old pic 'n' pix (i have just discovered i don't like jelly beans)
- youtube
- television
- itunes/iphone
- makeup

Demolition?
the beautiful little cottage obviously brought no value to anyone anymore. what used to be a wonderful gem, had been what i consider brutally attacked. the windows smashed, roof caved in, it had been torn to pieces. this really saddened me. what's more is that someone tried to protect this worsening by putting up a large fence. (i managed to slip my hand through the bars to snap this photo) however, it merely adds to the ugliness of the scene. and to see something i once adored gazing at on my little trips into town completely robbed of its former beauty is somewhat worse than tearing it down altogether.

May Day
i am absurdly exhausted and was planning on an early night. i also have two nasty stinging nettle stings on my little finger. so to answer the question in my previous blog, definitely a city girl.
