One of the hardest things in life

Is baking gingerbread men. Anyone who's tried it will understand. First you've got to cream the butter and sugar together, add in the golden syrup and various spices (mainly ginger). Then you have this nice goopy mix, to which you add flour. Now at this point, the recipe says to 'knead' into a dough and wrap in plastic and put in the fridge.

Well, you pretty much can't 'knead' this mixture. its freaking sticky. But I managed and put it in the fridge. Whilst waiting, I started making the icing. But turns out we have about 2 tablespoons of icing sugar left. So my mother kindly went out and bought some more. Eventually the 'dough' had spent enough time in the fridge so I took it out to cut into gingerbread boys and girls. Urgh. The dough is simply not dough. My understanding of dough is what I see on bread commercials. This is like playdough that isn't quite right and just sticks to everything.

Literally after 3 hours, I get all my gingerbread children (and the odd bunny rabbit) in and out of the oven and ready to ice. Funny story, I literally could not find a gingerbread cutter ANYWHERE. The only thing I did find was a bucket of 100 cookie cutters. So I bought it. Anyway, you can see the finish products. After a total of about 4 hours, I had finally accomplished one of the hardest things in life.

What are friends for

A: "Oh my god this dress is so cute..."

B: "It is! How much is it?"
A: "....too much. But its sooo cute"
B: "Just buy it otherwise you'll be forever thinking about it."
A: "Yeah ok."

A: "Come out with us tonight!"
B: "Oww but I have an exam next Tuesday"
A: "Well todays Saturday so you can study on Monday."
B: "Yeah ok."

I don't know about anyone else, but this is pretty much my life, both A and B.
I was thinking about it today on the bus.
As friends, its clear we all have each others best interests at heart :)

I can feel vibrations

GOOD VIBRATIONS.
I'm just a little beyond excited for Good Vibes next year.
I had nothing less than a blast last summer.
Although I did like this years line up (Busta Rhymes, Kid Cudi, SaltNPepa, The Killers) a bit better.
I'm sure Cee Lo Green, Kelis and Luda will not disappoint.

Plus I'm secretly hoping that Bieber will pop up just so him and Ludacris can sing together. I know it won't happen. But I'm still hoping.

So long, farewell

My wisdom teeth are coming out! In two weeks as of tomorrow. Everyone says it hurts and I believe them. So I'm going to embrace this experience with ice-cream and Jersey Shore for a week.

I'm all for fun

Ok so I lately I've noticed I've become quite the fan of bright colourful things and all the fun that comes with them. In my opinion, these are the days where I can actually pull them off without looking ridiculous (I guess sometimes I already do). My favourite is my orange watch which I picked up at the the Porta Portese Markets (Rome) whilst I was on holidays. The sunglasses were a gift from a best friend who went on holidays to Thailand around the same time. I stole the jacket off my mum who wore it in her 20s. And the nailpolish, well, after wearing a friend's bright pink shade, I had to go out and buy it too!

My fashion following skills are fairly poor, so I guess I've found comfort in colour :D
Trust me it's fun.

Samson

Samson
He was once a feeder fish living in the tank of a handsome young turtle named Stampy.
But the stress was too much.
He was rescued and given his own home, fully furnished with pebbles and plants.
Soon enough his black spots disappeared to reveal the gold underneath.
He was fed every evening and even had his home cleaned every so often.

It's been a great 7 months Samson. You've brightened up my bathroom and kept me company whilst brushing my teeth.
Rest in peace.

Looks can be deceiving

Last night we had our weekly game of netball (our team is called Wii Not Fit) and we versed a team called 'Hufflepuff....YEAH!' They were all dressed in fluoro pink from head to toe, including bright face paint. So really they just looked like a joke. But when the score reached 16 all, no one was joking. Thank god we beat their lame asses in the end, 18-17.

Bad luck Hufflepuff (this isnt actually them)
