Hi! So I am currently busy with a new (very exciting) project.

I promise to give updates about this new project soon.
Amazing Transparent Butterly July 18, 2008
I think this is as amazing as it is beautiful. This Transparent Butterfly is found in central America (from Mexico to Panama). Apparently they are rather common in this area but are rarely seen as they are see-through. The fact that they are transparent is obviously also a great way to naturally camouflage itself.
Sometimes I wish that I could be like this butterfly and disappear a bit too.

Current Reads July 2, 2008
Well I went shopping the other day. Fun? Not really, this was for my English reading list. 11 Classics…ugh. So i’m starting with “Nostromo” by Joseph Conrad and if I can find the time inbetween to read what I want then i’ll be reading “But Inside I’m Screaming” by Elizabeth Flock.
I will have a few classics coming up that I have no choice to read. I find when I am forced to read something that I very seldom find any good in it. It’s wrong I know but that’s just the way it is. So if anyone has any help or information on the books I will be reading please do feel free to share them. I need it!
Studying June 28, 2008
What do you love to do when you are studying? How do you get through it? I know studying gets rough but i have a few things that help me through the studying process.
Firstly this is how it looks…what a mess!
This is what helps prevent me from procrastinating…NOT!
… and finally this is what gets me through it. Snacks and Tea.
Pretty Flowers June 24, 2008
Look at these pretty flowers I got from the lovely teachers and admin at the studio for when I was in hospital. I love Donzelle to bits.
Latest Book June 22, 2008
I have decided to blog about the latest books that I am reading.
At the moment I am reading “The Chocolate Run” by Dorothy Koomson. It is wonderfully written and draws the reader into the lives of Amber Salpone, her bestfriend Jen, and her friend Greg Walterson (who is a complete womaniser).
This is a witty read and if you love chocolate it is one that will touch your taste-paleted heart.
This is the first novel I am reading by Dorothy Koomson and it is wonderful. It sometimes takes me a while to get into a book but I was hooked on this one from the first page. If her other books are this good i will have to give them a try.
Visit Dorothy Koomson’s site here to read more about her and this lovely book.
Living in a Fairytale world? June 22, 2008
Sara Bareilles’ song Fairytale puts a twist into the traditional fairytales that we were told as kids. I absolutely love the lyrics to this song. I have always had a love for changing fairytales into more modern versions and this puts it in a song!
“Fairytale”
Cinderella’s on her bedroom floor
She’s got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I’m tired today
I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
[Chorus:]
’cause I don’t care for your fairytales
You’re so worried about the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
[Chorus]
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
But I don’t want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love
[Chorus]
I don’t care
I don’t care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don’t want the next best thing
No no I don’t want the next best thing
