Nothing much to tell so far this week - been doing a lot of Shorthand so I can get my speed up as I'm lagging behind, but my poor wrist just doesn't want to move any faster! We're also working in groups to make magazines for Print, and I'm really excited to make it, as I made one on wrestling in A Level Media, and got an A ^_^ Ours is based around the Northwest music scene, but with fashion bits thrown in for variety.
We're currently just making page plans, as we have thirty pages to fill, plus finding adverts to use, but it'll be awesome when it's finished!
Saw my kosherpop Alex last night after what seemed like forever, we went to Maccies, both got large quarter pounder meals, six chicken nuggets, and then got cherry pies for back at his. My word, I love cherry pie I could have eaten seven! We played about on his fancy mac for abit before watching A Scanner Darkly. It's a really good movie, very clever, but the fact they've filmed it then solarized it so it looks cartoony totally threw me. But I'd suggest it if you like weird movies that make you think.

I'm seeing Jack tomorrow night, and we're going for food and then to see Gulliver's Travels. We're both huge fans of Jack Black (especially Tenacious D) so even if the movie itself isn't that good, we won't be that fussed as he's so funny.
I'll hopefully have time to chuck an outfit post of a quick photo of my nails tomorrow when I get home from uni.

I'm gonna make tea soon with the mother, we're cooking a healthy pasta bake, so it'll hopefully be like the one above which looks yummy, but with red onion, broccoli and tomatoes instead of red pepper. Wish me luck!

What have you all been doing this week? Any culinary hits?

Haven't updated this for just under a month, I feel disgusted but not too bothered; makes me think I've been pretty busy/having too much fun to come on this, which is a good thing :)
So here's a (not so brief) update, with a fat separate post about Cornwall still to come, avec photos of the beach, our awesome beach castle creations and the swans...
The 24th May was mine and Jack's 3-year anniversary ^__^ so we did it old school and went to the Switch Island Odeon with load of sweeties and Cherry Tango, to see Prince of Persia. The movie was pretty good, despite the cheese-toasty acting; but I later realised all the POP games are laced with cheesy and awkward one-liners when Jack was playing it a few days later. It's swimming in cool CGI, but they maybe took it one flip too far; some of them did seem unnecessary, but didn't really take away from the fact it was an enjoyable film.

After Cornwall, and the hottest car journey home ever, I pretty much showered, changed and jumped on the train for Donna's birthday bbq at her flat. It was lovely seeing Heather, Danni, Andri and Donna after almost two weeks, got to show off my awesome half-tan too. We left Donna's to go for some drinks and dancing; off to Baabar where Heather got mentally scarred and mouth-raped by a guy who looked about 14 and danced like Michael Cera. So we go to Popworld, which was more enjoyable, apart from the guys in white suits - one completed his look with a bangin' mullet and 'tash. I got scarred by some dude who though dancing like a crab/fly hybrid was amusing/appealing to anybody :| Weirdest thing ever!
Actually it was weirder when I met Heather in a taxi Monday to go to Las Iguanas, she pulled out a crab toy from her work; it's now chilling with the green hippo hanging from my shelf.

Too much writing, writing writing. More updates soon.

Ok, so I had a gorgeously lazy but perfect birthday weekend with Jack. We went for a meal for his dad's birthday on Hallowe'en, his nan and grandad insisted on paying, they'r the cutest people ever.
I stayed in Jack's and we watched Frankie Boyle's dvd (which is obscenely hilarious) ate loads of crap and lazed in bed all night - I thought I'd be gutted about not going to town, but it was so much better. I love it when it's just us two, not surrounded by drunken nobs dressed as Spongebob and the Terminator.
he bought me the Frankie Boyle dvd, a huge penguin toy/pillow, it's seriously the softest thing I've ever known it's amazing! and he made me a new bracelet after my original one broke, which I think is gorgeous :) I love his presents, he always puts loads of thought into them (L)
I had Sunday off work but I went to get my birthday phone with my mum, then we went to see the Blackpool lights.

I've had the last week off uni as a "reading week" which has been lovely but this week I felt crap,
I think my mother passed on her gastric flu to me over this past week, I've felt crap.
Lovely things have happened though to balance it out. I went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox with Jack - weirdest movie ever but it's too good to not see. I love the way their legs move when they proper storm over the fields :')

This week in uni has been hilarious, mostly because nob'ed hasn't bothered to turn up, and when she did she couldn't stick to her word, she lied about going to a friend's funeral. She's definitely not worth it (apart from this little part) :)
Everyone's completely come out their shell, sitting in CMIST on our breaks is the funniest thing ever. I'll have to put up the gif's Cole made of him and the guys, they'r so disturbing, but you can't turn away :')

I'm off to watch the 40 Year Old Virgin with a cuppa though, I got it on my break today in CEX for £1.50, the guy ID'd me for Interview with the Vampire, which made me feel pretty good as I've felt incredibly old since turning TWENTY last week.
