I started watching another anime, called "Azumanga Daioh", today. I think it's a great anime and pretty addictive. I like the characters because they have at least one that you can relate too. This is a little about the series according to Wikipedia (which sums it up nicely!):

"Azumanga Daioh chronicles everyday life in an unnamed Japanese high school in Tokyo, following the trials and triumphs of six girls: reserved Sakaki's obsession with cute animals, Chiyo's struggle to fit in with girls five years older, Osaka's spacey nature and skewed perspective on the world, Yomi's aggravation at an annoying best friend, Tomo, whose energy is rivaled only by her lack of sense, and Kagura's efforts in sports and school".

This is the opening theme for the anime:



I'm thinking about buying the box set because I'm enjoying it that much.

I'm blogging late again, no surprises here then. :)

I went to Meadowhall yesterday with Chris and I bought new Manga. One of them is called "Magical x Miracle" and its about this girl called Merleawe who hopes to become the best at magic. Its a good read and has quite a bit of humor in it so I'm glad I bought it; I'm probably going to buy the volume 2 next weekend.

I really need to be saving my money for Christmas presents though but I always end up seeing something I want. Whether it be Manga or a DVD.

I wouldn't class myself as a "Shopaholic". I think you need a few fancy credit cards to become one of them and buy several sets of one thing in different colours. Like buying the same dress in different colours for every occasion! (insert happy noise here).

Meadowhall was as packed as I thought it would be. We were defiantly lucky to find a a seat in the food court aka pigs feeding trough. Yum.

You have to literally pounce on an open table as soon as you see someone leaving it. People start to get nervous as "sharks with food trays" swarm around them and as soon as any holes in their defense appear...BAM! Ten pre-teens hop on your table and start discussing who got "totally smashed" that weekend.

Its a crazy place I tell you. I wonder why no one has been crushed there yet by the sheer amount of people.

College tomorrow. I don't feel well so I don't want to go but at least I only have one lesson. I can surely get through that.

Here are some questions for you:

1) Where do you normally go to shop and what is it like there?
2) What are your spending habits like: Do you prefer to save or "flash the cash"?
3) Have you bought all your Christmas presents yet or are you going to leave it till the last minute? :)

Hey, I've been quite busy today at college. Working and getting my English Language investigation up to speed. I feel like I'm really getting a good amount of work done which is something to be happy about; free time is gold dust when you're a student.

I've been trying to figure out what I can buy people for Christmas. I know its a little early to be thinking about Christmas presents but I really want to avoid the mad rush and get everything sorted as soon as possible. All I can picture is me stuck in a massive cue at Thorntons with my arms full of chocolate and being bashed around by who are also stocking up on chocolaty goodness; possibly for their toy-boys. Trust me, old ladies are ruthless when boyfriends/Christmas presents are at stake.

I already have a few ideas in my head but I'm not going to write them on here as a certain someone will come peeping; yes Chris I mean you.

I love Ebay. They have so many quirky gifts and unique items. I really am internet-shopaholic, I should start a fan listing for that if there isn't already one!

This Yuki bag is so cute. I was originally going to ask Chris to get it me (haha) but the auction was running out in an hour. So I've bought Yuki.

Anyway! I need to focus on buying people presents and not get carried away on Ebay. Another good site for Christmas gifts is, Getting Personal. You can buy personalised gifts and the prices aren't too bad either, so I recommend you check that out.

Oh! Before I forget, I've joined a forum called Superawr. Its a cute little forum so you should join too if you haven't already.

Some questions for you:

1) Where do you get your gift ideas from?
2) How often do you buy yourself things?
3) Are you going to join Superawr?

First day back at college today, well more like first lesson back at college.

I love Mondays because I don't start college while 2:30 pm. How brilliant is that? I get to sleep in bed till about 9, which is considered a lay in for me, and then spend the morning doing whatever I want.

I took half of the "sweet hoard" into college today and people looked confused when I randomly threw them a bag of Haribos. It looked like I was making sweets magically appear. Which is of course true, seen as I have a Mary Poppins bag and all. I seem to be able to fit everything and anything into my bag. It's like a bottomless pit, either that or I just carry too much stuff.

My English Language lesson flew by and I soon found myself walking out of college.

While I was in the car my phone rang, it was Chris. I couldn't hear him at first so I just sat there saying, "hello? hello?? heellllooo?".

It went all fuzzy on the phone and then his voice boomed in my eardrum saying, "WHERE ARE YOU?"; my eyes practically bashed together in their sockets.

"I'm in the car just near my house" I replied in a timid voice, scared that he was going to break the speaker on my phone.

Turns out he was just calling to ask if I was still up for going to Meadowhall; he needed to buy a book that he'd pre-ordered.

So I spent most of my afternoon at Meadowhall which, thankfully, wasn't packed with millions of shoppers doing Christmas shopping. I hate having to fight my way through bags and other dangerous obstacles, such as prams! I swear prams are designed to run teenagers over.

We went to Waterstones and picked up the book he wanted. It was a History book about Russia that he had to read for his coursework. I'm jealous that he knows so much about History and I don't. In school I was always rubbish at History, probably because I spent most of my time doodling or staring out of the window.

After we had finished looking around Meadowhall we went to Pizza Hut, I was starving after all that walking around. My mouth was watering before we even walked through the door. I love pizza, but that's not a good thing.

Whilst in Pizza Hut, Chris asked me to a restaurant called The Venus for his 18th birthday, which is on New Years Day. I happily agreed but in the back of my mind sulked.

Venus = I have to wear my Little Black Dress (LBD).

LBD = less pizzas if I want to still fit in it.

Even though I'm a size 8/10 I'm always worried about gaining weight. I need to cut down on all this tasty junk food if I want to look good for his 18th and most importantly impress his parents.

At least we walked home, so maybe I burnt off some calories then. I seriously doubt it though seen as I scoffed some custard creams. I think I'm being to hopeful.

So all in all I had a good day, well spending time with Chris and my friends is always good.

Oh! Before I go...

I've been nagged to post pictures of myself with the new haircut but, in my opinion, I am not photogenic at all. Oh well, here goes:


I've just noticed the time stamp of this post (11:48 PM!), cutting it a bit close aren't I!

Goodnight. xx

Hiya, I'm back! Sorry I took so long in posting again but this week has been quite hectic. I went to the university and had a good long chat about my courses for college. The man who was there was really friendly and helpful. He explained to me that even someone with loads of Ucas points doesn't always get accepted into the university. He says that if I just work hard, he sees no problem of me getting in the university! So now I know that I can achieve what I want. It seems I'm not the only person who college has let down. I was talking to one of my friends in English class and they were having the same problem with their courses being canceled due to funding problems.

Its just a huge relief that I have finally got things sorted out and I'm not feeling as stressed anymore. Shola, my best friend, helped me a lot during all of this. Just by being supportive and a shoulder to cry on.

My CardCaptor Sakura box set came yesterday! :3 I'm so happy because it has taken less than a week to arrive. I'm already watching it as I am typing this blog. ~Nya! ^^
I have put a picture up too, click on it to view a bigger picture.


I've gone and ordered the two CCS movies off eBay too! £9 for two movies is a good price and they are both on one disc. :)

My first day at college was okay, I'm quite pleased with my new timetable as I have only one early start and, seen as I'm only doing 2 A2's and an AS, I have less hours. I start college at half past 2 on a Monday! That means I get to sleep in! hehehe :3
My form class is pretty good too as most of my friends are in it and I more or less know everyone there.

The only thing that is annoying about going back is that there are so many new students starting out that the college is packed at dinner time. The queue was massive on Friday! T_T

I'm sure what to do today, maybe Chris will come round and we can watch a DVD or something.

Oh yeah, Kawaii Awards season one has ended so be sure to pick up your awards. :)

Well I'm off now. Ja ne!

Edward Cullen equals love. I can see what all the fuss was about now, that book was brilliant. I already want to start reading New Moon. :D
I literally couldn't put the book down, it was so good and it tricks the reader by making them fall in love with the character Edward. Vampires have never been so smexy! haha.

I got my hair dyed pink again and also finally got my fringe cut shorter. Its better now, it doesn't attack my eye every time I turn around now. I will put a picture up of me when I can be bothered to take one! I have to wait till the day time to take a pic off my web cam because the lighting isn't all that great. ^^"

I got my exam results, I did pretty good actually. I just had a couple of let downs but I will have to resit a couple of units probably to improve them marks. I'm really proud that I got a B in my English Language exams. :D

I bought that Lucky Star pencil case that I wanted off Ebay! It cost me over £6 which was just over 11 dollars on Ebay. Not so bad considering it was from China and it had to be air mailed!
This is a picture of it, click for a bigger version. Please note that the bunny was not included! haha

Ahh! I'm excited. Just been ordering myself a cute necklace. Check him out! He is so cute and small. :3
It seems like all I do lately is Internet shop. Since its the summer holidays I get a little bored in the day and can't resist either logging onto Ebay or Play to see what I can buy! I have to admit I'm hooked when it comes to kawaii jewellery.

I so want this pencil case I've seen on Ebay. It features the funny character Konata Izumi from the anime series Lucky Star. :) She has to be one of my favourite anime characters. In many ways she reminds me of myself, sarcastic but always joking around. Even though Chris says I look like Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket! So you could say that I've got traits of Tohru and Konata. haha :3
I Wouldn't mind being Tohru though seen as she gets to live with Shigure, Yuki and Kyo. I bet that's right fun! Oh and if you don't know what I'm talking about then I suggest you read up on it.

So today has been just a typical day really. I miss Chris abit, as I said before he's gone to Cornwall for a week with his family! Wah. :(
But I won't be bored for too long as I'm having a day out with my bessie Shola. She needs opinions on what she's going to wear to a party. Also we can get McFlurrys again. Choco mint flavour for me! Yum. :p
Last time we had them with a meal just because they were free; you get a free ice cream with your meal if your a college student and you show your student ID card. Pretty good, huh? However we were so full up from the meals that we didn't fancy the ice-cream. But we ate it anyway! Don't you just hate wasting things that you got for free? :s
This time I'm going to save a bit of room so I can eat it all. I love ice cream.
You know what else is nice and I apologise for the random blogging here, smoothies.
I love smoothies. I could just have one now! The one that I have is called Strawberry Squeeze and I swear it is the most yummy smoothie in England. :3
I'm all excited to go out now!
Bye bye!
