And that was the last time I used an epilator.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! !

Greetings my chums (:

I bet you missed me :D

It's good to be back, after a grueling few weeks of exams and recieving holiday homework. Only a tonne or two, but not to worry, I should have it done by the year 2020.
Anyhoo,
how are we all this evening (well, morning actually)?
I, for one, have a sore leg (yes, just the right one). Good heavens, you say, why would only one leg be sore?
I'll tell you why and I'll tell you for free.
One word:
EPILATOR.
of you who don't know what an epilator is, it's a device used to remove leg hair. It works by having a little teeny weeny revolving wheely thing which rips up your leg hair. Ouch.

Even though I only tried it on one area of my leg, I have to say that it is incredibly sore!
Never again.


In regards to my previous
question, "how long must I wait for my knight in shining armour" the answer simply is that I should not wait at all.
I should walk along my own path, and if it happens to cross someone elses, hey there destiny!


My inspiration? Audrey Hepburn. Not only was I born on the same day as her (not year, otherwise I'd be swimming in wrinkles!), but she really seemed to know how to make guys beg for it. (And also she is a HUGE style icon!)

Those old fashioned women really knew how to seduce with class.

I was watching some of her famous movies, such as: Breakast at Tiffany's, Paris When It Sizzles, Roman Holiday and Sabrina, and I have got to say, I just admire the woman, so independant, and she's just her own self.

So guess who's been travelling again?!
That's right, I went to Fiji :D
For my dear mother's 40th, and may I say, without trying to sound like a spoilt brat, that family are the most embarrassing thing since sliced bread. And just a word of advice to parents out there, it DOES NOT help when you shake your heads and start going, "tut tut tut ... teenagers these days ... tut tut tut". Repeat, DOES NOT help.

I mean, I was extremely grateful for the trip and all, but we were on an island with soooooo many cute boys, and my Dad whipped out his old fannypack. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN.
Ohhhh yes, I said FANNYPACK.
WHO EVEN WEARS THOSE ANYMORE?!?!?!?!!?
I almost passed out upon seeing the hideous thing. They are tres tres unfashionable and have the word "fanny" in the title, a natural warning to say "do not wear". But apparently to my Dad it said, "wear me! your daughter will be a guy magnet when she's seen with fannypack guy!".
So sure, naturally I wanted some time AWAY from them, as should be understood, but noo, when I ask for alone time I get the whole lecture and a half, "you shouldn't be ashamed of yur family, we made you, yada yada, blah blah blah, we can hang out!"
Chhhh, yeah, right, I'll be back NEXT WEEK.
In primary school I was told to move away when I was uncomfortable, buuut whatever 'rentals!
I wonder why they are called paRENTs ... can we return them?

It was a nice holiday though, just to get that straight, :)

Fijian episode aside, I saw Love & Other Drugs last night with one of my best friends, Bella. Jake Gyllenhall is HHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT.
But what I hate about these movies is that they tease us with the ideal man who we can't have. They dangle him there in front of our faces, on a huge screen, and then before you know it the credits are on and you are snapped back into reality, where no guys such as these exist, and if they do, they are either taken or gay.
Buuuut, I have chosen not to think about that, as one of my new years resolutions for 2011.

I've been thinking about where I was this time last year, and I realised I am a totally different person. This time last Summer I was sitting at home, waiting for my now ex boyfriend to come back from his holiday and break my heart (which I didn't know otherwise I wouldn't have been waiting lol).
I have learnt so much and really developed as a person. I am so much closer to really knowing who I am, and I guess, at the end of the day, without those assholes, and all those setbacks, I never would've picked myself up and figured that out.

So thank you, assholes !

And goodnight, until next time,
