MAC + Barbie

A strange combination you agree, but the new MAC line have teamed up with barbie for some new shades, and good they are.
So I am generally upset by the poor performance of some of my friends recently, it's just been bish bash, you know the thing? A big sigh of dissapointment at you lot, put some effort in and pull your finger out.
I have many places I like to go in life but there are few I can call really special and I'd like to share some of them with you -

this is balcomie, a lovely little place and quite the area for golf apparently. This place is very special to me as it's where me and my brothers and dad went birdwatching, a huge hobby of my dads. We used to get up at 5am and go with our breakfast with us and fruit in our pockets and we used to hide out pretending we were on a secret mission. This is where we scattered my dads ashes aswell so it is nice to go back and think he is still there.


Arran is pretty special to me because of how familiar I am with it and how many fun times I've had there, everytime we go we tend to stay in Kildonan but this year we stayed in Brodick. The people are fun, the place is lovely and you can even horse back ride. I have many many great memories of this place.


This is Aups in provence, the most beautiful place I have ever beeen too. This was quite honestly the best holiday I have ever been on because of the saftey and weather and situation. At night time you would sit outside in one of the street cafe's and listen to street bands or just sit in the garden and the locals would talk away to you. I miss this place - my dream is to live here (this is a very detailed dream, enquire within if you want to know about it)This place suits my personality and I feel at home here.


THis is doocot cottage in st andrews, If you know me, you'll know this place means everything to me. Every single easter my dad was here we stayed here, it was the best fun. The picture doesnt do it justice but it had everything you needed, a sandpit, a little lane beside with lots of bunnies called 'rabbit run' and hidden passageways and little log cabins. This is the beatrix potter of my life. When we were staying we used to have 'king for a day' and 'queen for a day' and when you got it you'd where this HUGE badge that my dad made and on that day you could do whatever you wanted, I would always go to seaworld and then to little johns for tea (mum would always go a walk on hers, rubbishhh) I went back here myself last year and burst out crying when I walked in, everything was the same since we left it 6 years ago.

mothers day

This is my mum, her name is ruthie. What a lady, I'm making dinner today because I am the talented chef of the family. It's true. This is my favourite picture of my mum, taken in barcelona when we went on a holiday with my two brothers - how lovely. During this holiday we got robbed but it only seemed to make the holiday better, isn't that strange. But we all put our spending money in and made it through the week, together - me my mum and my brothers.Aw.
This holiday was for total culture vultures, like myself (obviously)
Look at the size of the doors at the segrada famalia (dodgy spelling) Blimey, either that or I'm really really small.

Apres moi

You know I was at the hairdressers today and I got it all chopped off. Goodbye hair hello cold head, Now what I am about to say forgive me for, I am not snobby but the way I get haircut is the fault of my mother only ever taking me to salons in glasgow ect and I've grown up with always a male hairdresser. Strange that isn't it, anyway, I have a hairdresser called gareth who is ever so nice. Good dress sense too - anyway, A new girl washed my hair today and got hair toner in my eyes and quite frankly, It was terribly uncomfortable but I always feel sorry for these folk, you know the hair washers and sweepers in these places, they are like slaves. What a drag. I've been using a new hairspray, the same one lewis (in the picture) uses although I wouldn't dare tell him seeing as all I ever did was slag it.
I miss him abit - he's a dear friend. I've no idea where he is just now - england somewhere touring, ahh what a hard life.
I start teaching on monday, the fear, the fear!

GOOD vs BAD

THIS IS WHY LIFE IS GOOD 07/03/07

: I am warm, inside and outside

: I am loved/I love folk who are warm and clever, and good for that matter
: I have found my lost marine*
: That marine is coming home from iraq
: I just made cracking tomato soup

THIS IS WHY LIFE IS BAD

It's 3am

It is late, or early - It is 3am anyway and I'm showing no signs of needing sleep. I don't understand why I as necked about three herbal sleeping tablets a few hours ago to assist my cold. I felt like I had to put herbal there just incase the severe of you out there got worried.
So what did I do tonight? ( I warn you - this blog gets quite serious here so if you're looking for some jolly chat come back next blog )
I watched a documentary called jesus camp. Jeeze oh, I was really looking for some light comedy but I was drawn to this by the dramamtic comments it sported, I wonder if any of you have seen it.
Brainwashing these poor poor children into this harsh, almost nazi ish belief in Jesus christ and God - It's an awful thing to watch especially if you're quite fond of children. I say this meaning you really have to watch it to understand - ah these people are forcing children into abolishing the word fun. One bit that really upset me was at the 'camp' one night one of the speakers asked the kids 'are you ready for some fun tonight?' only to show later the 'fun' intended was to teach children how harry potter is a work of the devil and to act even slightly (I'm talking slight here) against the will of God, even not praying ten times a day or whatever that they are to be shamed and they should 'repent' I'm not talking about 14 year old kids Im talking about five year olds crying because they are being taught to be ashamed of themselves for being children. Sounds like crazy fun to me!
This one little kid was praised for going up to strangers and telling them jesus christ has told her that they need help - That God had told her they should be saved, this seven year old kid. Yeah okay we can say brave and we can say she's a solider of christ but if she get's shot or god forbid something happen to her - wouldn't someone say 'Who taught her to put herself in danger?' Because I didn't see that in the bible.
Without going into my life too much something I really believe in is fun, and I think children should be left to play and imagine and think about pirates and indians and faeries and dress up and just enjoy life and enjoy the innocence and delight of being a child - it's amazing! Yes? Children and adults, it is a sad day when we teach against the imagination and when we forget how to live. Hm maybe I am being 'silly' and maybe I am someone to overlook but I cannot stand the daily routine and the expectation for people to 'grow up' and turn into workers who work for the money and the money that works for the workers. We pay for apples when we can pick them off the tree* - I'm not sure what I am trying to say here - I am just tired of the wrong people getting their hands on the weak minded and moulding them. This was a serious blog wasn't it , blimey.
Off to watch some light hearted comedy. Goodnight my fellow bloggers.

*I am not promoting the stealing of other peoples apples here - unless they look fresh and tasty.
