Christmas Present.

Its Christmas Day!

Peace and good will to all men! .... well, I try.

Christmas 2011 has so far, been a success. Dinner was yummy and not TOO filling as it can sometimes get.

Had a lovely lie-in this morning, but then had to leap out of bed as I heard my dog gagging and then proceed to vomiting on my grandmas nicely kept carpet. I cleaned the mess up and then it was PRESENT TIME.

My list of presents is as follows -

Davidoff Cool Water perfume

A Thermal cup thingy

Penguin ice skate guards

Penguin socks

(you can tell what type of bird is my favourite innit)

Some thick socks to wear with my ice skates

A love hearts mug, complete with candy.

Two writing pads plus a set of pens

A devotional book

Pyjamas

Slippers

 - Thats all I can remember, but I'm expecting a few more presents tomorrow from other family. Spoiled, I know.

Ratatouille is on TV at the moment. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Rats are cute!

Being home is excellent, I miss being home. It's so comfortable and pressureless.

I have only one Christmas wish left - that I will be able to watch Doctor Who in peace. It may not happen, but I can hope. It all depends on what time the cousins arrive. If not, there is always Downton Abbey to lessen the blow.

Christmas TV is ridiculous.

I bought the very final Alex Rider book yesterday. It's strange, I started reading those books when I was about 16 and now I am 23 reading the final volume and yet Alex Rider has remained 14 years old the entire time. Fictional characters have the best life.

I must go now and enjoy the rest of my Christmas Day, but I wish the very best for you and yours - have a fit time.

Seeking Destiny with Faith

It was a strange day at work today.

There is a feeling in the office like....everyone is just waiting for Christmas to come. Everyone is tired. Everyone is just holding on that little bit longer - then chill time.

A holiday at the end of the year really is a blessing.

Home just seems like paradise at the end of a looong dark tunnel...which reminds me, I really need to pick up my train tickets from the station. How horrible would it be if I missed my train because I'd forgot to get my tickets before hand D: D: D:

Can't even bare thinking about it.

This house is pretty much empty now...empty compared to usually.

Usually we have 10 people living here, but at the moment it's just 5. Not that I mind. Sometimes it's nice to have a quiet house.

Just read a great quote by Oscar Wilde.

'Never love anybody who treats you like you're ordinary.'

I like that. It makes perfect sense. Ordinary people are only people who someone hasn't bothered to get to know. How can you love somebody who you don't know? ITS STUPID!

The smell of dinner is rising up to my room. I don't know what it is, but it smells awesome. You know what else smells awesome - my room!

I cleaned it yesterday afternoon and it's just such a nice place to spend time in now - it really was a dump or as my friend called it 'a S*** hole'. However, let me tell you this. The dumpyness of my room was not entirely my doing. My room mate had a great hand in the mess. However, now that she is away for the holidays I have made it nice for when we both come back after Christmas.

I have a few 'Minnie's Needs' Prayers for the next few days.

1. Afore mentioned tickets to be 'got'.
2. The next few days of work to be manageable.
3. My secret santa gift to arrive in the post tomorrow.
4. Transportation help from friends.

They may seem like silly needs, but the power of prayer goes a long way so if you are that way inclined, please agree with me for these things. Not that God needs tons of people praying to make Him active, but I'm absolutely sure he loves when people talk to Him.

'As the Good Book says'

 22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, 
      Because His compassions fail not. 
       23 They are new every morning; 
      Great is Your faithfulness. 
       24 “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, 

      “ Therefore I hope in Him!” 
       25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, 
      To the soul who seeks Him. 



Lamentations 3: 22-25


I just have to mention that my toenails are really long. I could actually attack people with them....If I really wanted to do that.

I should really sleep.

Night me lovelies and me darlins'

Thank You for the Moment

You know when a moment changes a whole entire day?

That moment happened about two hours ago.

It's funny how a headache can be caused by a thought - expectancy - and then when fulfilment takes place, the pain in the head simply disappears!

It's hard to explain without me seeming creepy, but it's a heart issue and all I can say is. My Christmas miracle happened. It was very small and short and distant, but it happened and I am grateful to God for hearing both my vocal prayers and those little desperate ones I had inside my head.

The only problem with getting a little taste of something is that it really fuels your need for more. I shall now have to wear my grateful hat for days.

Work tomorrow and then I leave for home on Thursday! Christmas is in less than a week now...then new year. I wonder what 2012 will bring? I definitely hope that there will be a lack of heartache for me (and for other people). Seem to have been having an emotional roller coaster of a ride the past few years. It would just be so nice to be invisible to everyone except the people who truly care about you. Wouldn't that be lovely?

I'm so cautious with my emotions lately. Some things are too precious to spam out to the world.

Well. I'm going to hit the hay.

Good Night World.

I Love the Moon

Nose is running like an open faucet.

My head feels like its in the clouds, but not in a good way.

The thought of work tomorrow is bleak....one thing spurs me on - there will be chocolate cake.

Winter has definitely arrived in the South of England. I thought it would never come due to the Indian Summer we had in October, but here it is. Apparently it has already started snowing up North, but we've had no such luck down here.

I went to a birthday party today at a Mexican restaurant. I had a chilli beef burrito. It was smothered in sour cream, refried beans and guacamole. I'm grateful that I chose a spicy dish, because it meant I could taste something.

The common cold is such a torture for a food lover.

My sister got me watching a new drama called Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. ITS AWESOME! There is this one tall guy who I love. He's awesome too, in a really fit way.

Having caught up on all the current episodes of that particular drama I felt a huge need to watch something in which Lee Min Ho stars. Therefore, I have decided to attempt to watch City Hunter. Lee Min  Ho is one of my favourite sources of eye candy.

My housemates and I have decided to go and watch New Years Eve at the cinema this weekend. It looks like quite a fun film. It's in the vein of the Valentines Day movie, which was all fun and no depth. It should be a nice bonding time with my friends though, before we separate for Christmas.

Speaking of which, I am very much looking forward to this festive time. I don't know how people manage winter without a Christmas. It's like a bright light in the centre of a completely depressing time of year. Of course there are religious reasons why people celebrate it too, but I think the main reason is that we need some distraction from the dark cold days.

Jesus was born in Summer anyway...apparently...according to historians. Some ninja Christians just hijacked a pagan celebration and decided to partay in December instead....a birthday is much nicer that sacrificing children to trees anyway.

I've bought most of my family's presents. I find it all very exciting. There are a few surprises waiting. Giving can be such a scream.

I've had my hair up in a ponytail for hours, it honestly feels as if my scalp is going to fall off, but it looks so nice, I don't want to let it down. Talk about being a slave to ones own appearance. I feel so ashamed.

AIIIGOOOOOOOOOO! I seriously wish I could stick some sort of vacuum up my nose and suck all the snot out. It sounds gross, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures....a super hot curry might do the trick.

OH OH OH also some new news! I am no longer staff at the Big Bang VIP forum. Got demoted a few days ago due to my lack of activity. It's kind of sad, but I guess it was a long time coming and there is no way I can commit myself to working there if I don't have a laptop. Anyway, I'm actually looking forward to being served  rather than waiting on other people :D

I let my hair down...It was killing.

Gonna watch some drama now.
