Change

Hello Hello Hello!

It's been a while since I last updated, and hopefully this post will do it's best to explain why i've been quite so'tardy to the party' (cheers RHOBH!!!!).

Since I last blogged, I let you all know that I was staying at the OH's which is still true, going lovely and all that jazz. He puts up with my grumps & I put up with his distinctive piggish behaviour on occasion.

However there have been a few changes! My cousin Samantha Birch (T: @sambirchwriter) has released a book! The High Street Bridge's Guide is an absolute little cracker. Although I'm not planning on getting married any time soon being at the ripe old age of nineteen, non-biased family relative aside this is a really good read, It 'flows' as such and isn't completely overwhelming unlike other wedding guide literature often is.

I've also become a member or the JuicePlus+ gang! That's right, I've sold out & put myself on a surprisingly alright diet! For those of you who are unaware, The Juiceplus craze is sweeping the country with people signing up with a desperate bid to lose weight! It can be taken in several different formats (chewable tablets or shakes as the most common) and I chose the Shakes!
Before you start the actual shakes, you need to take a ten day detox, which is something I really struggled with, however once the shakes arrived it wasn't too bad. You drink two shakes a day and then one 'clean' meal in the evening.

I have quite a busy schedule, and unsociable eating hours at my workplace, however the shakes are filling and do make me feel full for a few hours before my nice healthy dinner. In terms of effect, I haven't noticed a considerable weight loss yet, hover I have noticed a few inches coming off my waist and my stomach isn't as bloated any more!

It's a bit dear, at £32.50 a month for 4 months or a one of payment but I can't complain, it's helping me make some better choices and I feel better in myself!.

I have entered a competition! Wateraid are looking for a blogger at Glastonbury this year! It's a long shot, where all I had to make was a quick 15 second instagram vid, however I'd love it if you guys would check it out, 5 people will be shortlisted with the fifth being voted in by the amount of views it receives on the internet! thats you lovely people!

Fourth and final change is that I am looking for a new job! The sad moment has finally happened where I am sick and tired of my life at the pub and all the  hassle that comes with it.  So I'm trying to find a small summer job to last me until August, a few hours a week and nice and easy.

SO.

That is the change occurring in my life at the moment! I'll try and get back to regular blogging :)

Home for valentines

 quite enjoy valentines day, even if I spend it alone, this year consisted of a mystery card, a Terry's chocolate orange & a Chinese with my dad! My lion is away this year, still I'm 19 I have plenty more valentines days left :) 

The mystery card freaked me a little bit! I've never seen myself and desirable, so I've only had a handful of boyfriends so it basically leaves the options that my mother has most likely sent it to me. however I can't get my head around the writing inside. 

"Who doesn't deserve recognition on valentines day" 

I have no idea what that even means, maybe I'm reading far to much into it, but it had kisses at the end... And the address had my middle name (spelt correctly) but not my postcode!!! Madness. 

Moving on, I'm actually at home at the moment, which is awesome, some kick back time, so I can chill out and do a few things with my dad who is turning old next week at the ripe old age of 51!! Aha! 

I made him a Dorset Apple cake for his birthday... Of which he has already eaten half!! Hopefully I'll be uploading a new YouTube video soon, no idea what on, but I'm half tempted to get some asks on tumblr or even messages on here so people can offer some suggestions. 

Happily I've stuck to my two New Years resolutions this year( I made some in the end!) and I've started reading more and I'm slowly getting Healthy and beginning to lose weight! For anyone whose anytime if there are two books you should read this year, please make it The Fault In Our Stars ( John Green) and Divergent ( Veronica Roth) two books which are being made into what I can already see as being big blockbuster films this year!!!! 

Anyway, this was merely a stop in I'll get back to writing my fanfiction soon hopefully!!!

Addiction

addiction

əˈdɪkʃ(ə)n/

noun

1.

the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity.

Cheers for that one Google. 

I don't ever think of myself addicted to anything. I mean, I'm a smoker (quitting one my e-cig arrives may i add), I drink, I've eaten a lot of junk food in the past, but by no means would I ever think of myself as addicted to these things. 

In the controversial debate, Matthew Perry referred to addiction being an allergy. I don't really see it like that either, though i can understand his view. 

I think emotions play a much bigger role in the things you are addicted to. I'd consider my significant other as something I am addicted to. The intensity of one look leaves me craving more, and reduces me to my basic human instinct. He's very.. passionate and free and fun loving and I'm usually slightly envious that I can't be like that more often. But he is one of a kind and he means more than the world to me. again... addicted. 

I've began to notice I hold a addiction to literature. All kinds, books, autobiographies, web entries, fan fiction or even just a simple quote. I've become more emotionally invested in some fictional characters than I have about the passing of a relative. A bit harsh I guess. 

But i think literature does that for a reason, to completely immerse yourself in a world which is imaginary is such a beautiful gift and one of the biggest things I miss about my childhood. 

I'm addicted to the feeling of completing a book, of the sorrow you feel that you cannot relive that adventure, I refer to it as a Book Hangover but other people may have many other versions. 

To round this little thought process up, I don't think i could ever view addiction as a bad thing, not personally. I think addiction is what keeps you alive, whether it is a love or even your favourite fictional place. 

I lied. I have one addiction at the moment. 

Save Rock and Roll: FALL OUT BOY (2013)

I wish i could re listen to this album and hear it like i did the first time, its crept beneath my skin and is possibly the best thing to come out of the music industry in 2013! 

I want to see your animal side. 

reminds me of lions. ha.
