the universe is aligning

warm breezes beckon

It's the Easter holidays, so that of course means starting my revision procrastination by helping my mum's new love of feng shui, watching reruns of Charmed and course dying my hair all sort of artificial colours.

My Drama exam is finally over, finally, after three months of preparation we finally performed it, so no more angry lesbianism for me

Which also means I've lifted my self imposed, badly upheld computer ban

So with out further ado,

The Fashion Show

I finally navigated the highly confusing iMovie and after a long long period of utter confusion made the original video even more bad quality, but I won't deprive you any further.

But for now I guess this crummy quality video will be the best insight into the show and my impressive inability to walk in a straight line as well as hold the title of shortest one there.

So first is Becki then Olivia then Lucy and then me.

Gosh I really do need a haircut

success if it outlasts milk

Crazy days my life is now over

But in a good way, a very very good way

The fashion show was the other night, and words can literally not describe my happiness right now

I might actually explode in a shower of glitter, tea and chiffon

But photos and a video will come very soon, seeing as I now have nothing else to do with my time

Except make tents and fill them with unicorns and rotting plants

You know, the usual

There is an explanation for the rotting vegetation.

I've just always loved sheet forts, a tiny tent of comfort for the sleep depraved. It's a small, warm bubble away from all the dark to sit in and pass away those small hours, as the star projector burns golden freckles upon my skin and I feel so warm and settled inside as the world outside is still.

After my art coursework, which has, finally after 7 months of life consumption, been handed in, we got to put on an installation in our school. So I made a tent. With rotting vegetation. And a unicorn.

It was actually pretty surreal sitting in a tent for nearly four hours, with only a small star projector and a stream of people coming and sitting and having a chat.

I enjoy conversing with people in the dark, its a hobby of mine, so it was an intriguing task trying to piece together who was sitting in front of me from just the sound of their voice.

It's a curious feeling holding a belt worth £180 in your hands and seeing a price tag with an explosion-worthy price of £1.99

I felt like a thief, standing there in the Children's Society, handing over my two pound coins

I had to resist the urge to dance

My mum thought it was a fake but all the numbers and 'made in Italy's are all the same as those on the internet

Squee

I don't think I'll ever want to stop working in that shop, it such an unbelievable joy to be surrounded by such lovely clothing

So if anyone's in Surbiton at 2pm on a saturday, come have a chat in the Children's Society. I love talking to costumers, though except that one guy who bought a zombie movie and lectured me on robots and the end of the world.

I've been trying to get ready for summer too, by cutting down on the amount of cake I eat and replacing it with water, because I'm determined to actually look nice in a swimsuit this year. Seriously though, I'm pretty sure if you cut into me you'd find cake.
