This is a story of a girl who turned out wrong, because she only loved things that couldn’t love her back

Hannah Murray by Clare Shilland

Hannah Murray is better known as fictional character Cassie Ainsworth from Skins. Cassie is very quote-able.

This is one of my favourite televisual moments

ps. I don't know what people want to see here.... More outfit posts? More about me? More writing? Yeah... if you have any ideas, just let me know in a comment. (:

albert

Albert is bright pink, and has things that look like pencil shavings down his front. Albert has also never been out of my house...

First attempt at a fishtail plait too.

The Luella sticker was part of my eighteenth birthday present, part of my shrine already.

And take a look at this piece of excitement!!!

Shirt; Luella via Outnet. Shorts; Miss Selfridge. Fishtail plait; minutes of entertainment

change:

This is what I do instead of going out (which translates as "I paint". A few people asked if I painted this, the answer is "yes")

I can't be bothered to finish it, but I felt the blog needed a bit of a change.

And if you live in Essex, I recommend the chocolate brownie from Abigail's. I can't quite explain in words (or the amount of texts I sent about it) how good it is.

My persistent love for Luella is continuing despite the company going under. Between theoutnet.com and ebay I have obtained two blouses and a keyring.

Should I just make a shrine to her?

crickets aren't nocturnal

so i spent three days in a field on one of the hottest weekends of the year so far, so i would have died if i'd worn a cape like werbowy (above)

there's nothing quite like stumbling through long grass when your torch runs out of battery.

EDIT: Just changed the host for the images, so hopefully you should be able to see them now! Sorry about that

EDITEDIT: re-hosted images. third time lucky??? (blogger, sort it out)

five o' clock in the morning

Some recent (ish) entries.

And a special mention goes out to Paintshop Pro. Without your blur tool, this entry wouldn't have been possible.

(And massive love to all those who know who the plan pony is ♥)

sleep is for the weak

{Click photos for sources}

I much prefer to daydream.

Or at least the transitional state between being conscious and unconscious, where you can vaguely control your dreams. It's definitely more fun that way.

And then I'll stop having visions of wolves (which, although beautiful, can get a bit samey after a while) night after night.

I love to watch the sun rise, and it's mucking up my body clock.

This photo was taken when I had a normal sleeping pattern (2008, I'm on the left):

(Apologies for such a horrifically disjointed post, it didn't quite go to any plan I may have subconsciously made)

gold

Purely because it's a billion degrees and my pale, pale body cannot cope with this heat, I decided to sit on my windowsill and read A Clockwork Orange (which is very good, especially as I can understand a bit of Russian. Hello gcse!)

The crop top (which is several sizes too big for me, but I just didn't seem to care when I was buying it) + acid wash shorts + high ponytail combination makes me feel like I'm something out of the eighties, so here's a little treat for you...

Lace crop top; Primark. Shorts; American Apparel.

a dreaded sunny day

So, it finally decides to become Summer! It's suddenly become that sickening stage of the season where it's hot enough to have every single window in your house open, but there's no breeze to speak of.

Yet I'm still drinking 5+ cups of tea a day.

But I can't complain, because I don't have any more exams!!

This is what I'm wearing to the exhibition of A Level and GCSE art at my school tonight. Exams may be over, but I clearly haven't left school for good yet...

ps. I have lookbook! Thanks to Ruta (: Please hype my first look!

Dress; New Look. Socks; obscure shop from my childhood, so probably Woolworths. Shoes; Topshop

little lamb on a hill

Sometimes I wish I was small.

Not so small that I didn't exist, because that's selfish, mercenary and I'm not a coward.

I just wish I was small enough to remain unnoticed at times.

So that I could be carried around in someone's pocket.

Casual observer.

My status on facebook at 22:07 yesterday was "little lamb on a hill", which is a line from Yes, I Am Blind by Morrissey.

I can't find the original on youtube, so this will have to do.
