There wasn't anything I could add to my blog title to make it any more true. I am happy. I'm the happiest I have been for some time and it feels spectacular. I thought I should write a blog for one of two reasons. Firstly because I wanted to share how happy I was with the rest of the blogging community and secondly a close friend of mine told me to do so :)
We only have roughly a month left of summer and I am going to try and make the very most out of it, which is what I have been doing for the several weeks that we have been off already. One of the things that is on my to-do list is to start buying sixth form clothes which seems like a daunting task due to the amount that are not allowed to wear, which funnily enough is my entire wardrobe. But anyways, shopping is all fun and good and I'll be happy if my parents feel like clipping in with 99% of the money.
Book review - A place called here by Cecilia Ahern
I read this book around a week ago and I thought it was beautifully put together. Sandy Shorrt had black hair and was over six feet tall. People could never resist the temptation to comment. The other misfortune was having her classmate and neighbour, Jenny-May Butler, disappear without trace when she was ten years old. It wasn't that Sandy was friendly with Jenny-May - in fact she felt guilty because she'd disliked the girl and wished that she would disappear. This led to a life-long need to find missing things, which frequently went beyond compulsion and became obsession. It wasn't just the odd sock that gets lost in the washing machine, or a toothbrush. Sandy soon moved on to looking for missing people, giving those whose loved ones had gone missing a last glimmer of hope. Jack Ruttle is one of those people. His youngest brother, Donal, went missing a year ago and he turns to Sandy Shorrt in the hope that she will be able to find answers where others have failed. They talk on the phone over a few nights and then arrange to meet, but Sandy never turns up and Jack Ruttle is the only one who seems worried by this. I warmed to all of the characters and was compelled to keep on reading the novel. The plot is perhaps a little slow to start but builds into a satisfying and believable climax, given the rather 'magical' storyline. You won't be disappointed when you read this book, and if you are in any shape or form, blame me ;) I'm not reading The Love Of Her Life by Harriet Evans and I am only on chapter twelve but it is turning out to be a fantastic read, so when I'm finished I will report back to you.
I usually have a "theme of the blog" for my blogs but I haven't really got one today so for substitute I have decided to browse the BBC NEWS website and see what topics are going on in the world because I don't think enough of the news is brought to our attention and when it is it only seems to be the most recent outbreak of "swine flu" or some other pandemic to make us scared to even step out of our own front doors. And whilst browsing the website I only came across quite depressing news headlines such as "boy hurt in fairground accident" or "bail fugitive jumps into the sea off cliffs". I just think that society is spiralling into darkness and all they seem to want to talk about is things that go wrong. I just believe it is wrong.
Rant over and I'm still as happy as I ever could be. My friends have been amazing recently and I have spent a lot of time with them which has been great. Going down the beach and lazying around for pretty much five hours is my cup of tea despite the sunburn which has now appeared on my face and legs, but it was all worth it. I want to say a big thank you to them for being well... them.
Another news update is that I have become completely obsessed with coffee again, I know, I know It's not good for me. But the other day whilst in down I bought myself a Frappuccino® Blended Crème from Starbucks and ever since I have been in love with it. However I cannot just pop back and forth from Starbucks so I guess I'll just have to wait till I can indulge in another one of these beauty's :)
*yawn* I think that's enough from me for a little while anyways so I hope you enjoyed reading this even though I do feel as though I could have done a little more to prevent it being so boring. I will try and blog more frequently this time.
Bye for now x
