Well, if you haven't already read from my friend Flow's blog at The Syrup, I am going to "New York New York" tomorrow. I'm sorry for not blogging in a while, I've been busy packing and all that jazz.

I got my toiletries and undies all packed, plus the Chelsea shirt that Chris has lent me. I've just got to put my clothes in and I'm all sorted. I will be leaving for New York tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM (GMT) and I am not looking forward to that early start!

I will be going with my friend Flow as well as other Media and Film A-level students who we know. It will be a good experience and I can't wait to get off that plane and take my first steps in that amazing place.

To me New York is a city I have only seen in films, like a set. It has this glamorous feel about it and makes me feel like I will be walking on one of the most famous sets of all time.

I will take lots of pictures and video the trip so you will be able to see how much I enjoyed myself.

I am going to miss Chris a lot, it's one of the longest times I have been without any contact at all from him. Phone calls cost a lot overseas so I won't be able to phone him or my parents. He will be able to keep up to date with my antics on the New York Blog:

I felt like doing a random meme. It is a questions and answers meme in which you hug people instead of tagging them (kind of the same thing really!). So here goes..

1) You’ve been a web designer for ______ years?

I would say about 6 years, I first became interested in web pages and their design when I was 12. I opened up a graphics site on Freewebs and the layout was a poorly constructed I-frames one. I stuck with I-frames for a while until I learned how bad they were and I finally converted to Div layouts.


2) When was the last time you cried?

A while ago. I was quite stressed and I suppose I just reached breaking point. Luckily I have Chris to cheer me up. :)


3) What are three things you absolutely hate?

- Rainy days because they are always dull and cold.
- Catching buses. They stink and never turn up when they're suppose too!
- Arrogant people. There is being confident and then there is being stuck up your own- you get the idea. :)


4) What was the weirdest thing that happened to you today

Me and Chris invented a new game while we were chatting on the phone. Our whole conversation was kind of weird really but we have a good sense of humor.

5) Do you like your name?

Yeah I do. I used to not like it because people would always say it wrong or spell it wrong which was annoying. I think my name makes me unique as I don't know anyone with the same name as me.


I was hugged by the lovely Georgie, visit her website (heartdrops) for tons of awesome resources and helpful reviews.

The instructions for this meme are simple:



The questions are the ones I answered above. I hug everyone who wants to do this meme because I'm lazy like that.

Happy Belated Valentines Day! I hope you all had a brilliant day and got loads of chocolates.

I went out with Chris to the cinema and we watched "The curious case of Benjamin Button". It's a good film and it was quite romantic being all snuggled up together watching it. Imagine this typical kind of scene: girl leaning on boy's shoulder, looking into each others eyes, a lot of "I'm so happy right now" faces. Yeah, it was bliss.

I suppose the only thing that ruined it was my bladder. The film was 3 hours long and I'd drank Coke. A lot of Coke. It got to this one scene where water was gushing in all over the floor. Cool, running water. Chris glanced and me and looked quite concerned. I was squirming around like a five year old. I whispered under my breath, "I need to pee" and he tried not to laugh. It was my fault for drinking a lot and Chris just found it highly amusing.

I managed to hold it and we both staggered out of the cinema after the film complaining about how our legs felt numb. Seriously, three hours sat down is no joke. The film was great . It made me tear up in some parts so be warned; if you don't like sad films then don't go and see it.

Chris got me a card for Valentines Day too, it was really sweet of him. This is how our conversation went when he gave it to me:

Chris: This is for you.. (he hands me the card)

Me: Aw thank you! You shouldn't have.. (opens card, laughs at the verse written inside)

Chris: Haha! I knew you'd like it.

Me: I wish I'd got you something now.. but I thought you were like me and didn't buy into all this gimmicky kind of stuff...

Chris: Well.. Valentines Day is for guys anyway.... to express how they feel to their girlfriends.. (blushing)

Me: (Kisses on cheek) Hehehe, thank you.

I honestly thought we were not going to get each other anything but he went out of his way and bought me a card and wrote a nice message inside.

It made me forget for a moment about how Valentines Day is so commercialized and made me think of all the good things about my relationship with Chris. It made me think about how happy he makes me feel and that he always makes me laugh.

I agree with people that you cannot put a price on love but when your partner makes you something or treats you to something silly (like a chocolate bar) it makes you think about how they can make you happy with even the smallest gesture. :)

I promise to not bore you with any more mushyness now! But yeah, I'm young and in love.

Today has been quite uneventful for me. I've been playing on my GameBoy on this game called "Hamtaro: Ham Ham Heartbreak". It's about little Hamsters that are falling out of love and you have to rescue their love for each other. All together now! Awwww. :)

I've decided to video cover the game as a sort of little walk through to test out this recording software I have.

I'm 18 years old now and I feel old. Well actually I feel the same as what I did when I was 17.

I'm happy because, legally, I am an adult. I can get into 18 rated films and when I get asked for my ID I can just show my provisional driving license and stick my tongue out (that last part probably is not that mature!). Yay, go me! \(^.^)/

My birthday was on the 21st of January (last month!), I had a great day and got a few little surprises. My main presents were the trip to Castleton and New York (which I'm going to on the 28th of February).

I got a yummy pink cake, how very fitting for me.

Castleton on the following Friday (23rd January) was brilliant. Me and Chris stayed in a little apartment like room across from The Castle pub. The weather was quite good as well, it was dry but cold. I'm just glad it didn't rain!

We looked around shops and Chris bought me this gorgeous necklace (I wear it everyday!). We also had lots of nice meals including a big pub meal the night we got there. The next day we had chips and gravy which was so nice because it was cold outside.

I would love to go again. Maybe we'll go somewhere together again someday.

My questions for you are:

1) Have you ever been away with your partner/friends?
2)Where did you go and what was the most memorable event that happened there?
3)What is your favourite holiday destination?

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to post a blog for ages but I have experienced difficulty with my host.

I was procrastinating a blog to tell you what my birthday was like and also how the trip to Castleton went. A couple of days ago I got the urge to do the blog, so I logged into Blogger and tried to write an update blog. It told me my server was unavailable, immediately I checked to see if my FTP program was working and as I had already guessed it came up with the same error message.

I contacted my host but I didn't get a reply probably because they were too busy trying to sort out the problem. I checked their status page and it showed that they had had a couple of instances where their were problems with the hosting.

I thought to myself that I would give it a week maximum for it to sort its self out. Kihugs.com may only be a personal blog site but it is my site and I do expect my hosts to be reliable.

It seems that today it has been fixed (whatever the problem was) and I did a couple of test posts just to check.

So I'm going to go ahead and post my birthday blog now, even though it is late! (o^.^o)"
