2011... hi

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

So I reckon this is the year anniversary of my blog and what a year it has been. Thank you to all those who have even bothered to read my whinings, my dramas, my slush filled exclamations of love and the way in which my life still seems to course through hilarious situations.
One story which I cannot publish on my blog I re told last night. Its in 500 days of summer, after they go to the video store, so I reckon a handful of you will know what i'm talking about there. Amelia said to me "Tash how is it that these things always happen to you?!" I honestly don't know. I live my life as it comes and at times it comes at me full on, full of embarrassment, as this case was, and throws up funny stories for me to retell.

So 2011 what do you wanna throw at me?! Whatever it is I can take it.
Charlie is in bed with flu (not man flu, actual can't-get-out-of-bed-flu) so I unfortunately didnt get to spend New Years Eve with him. But instead had a laaavly night at Sophie's. I love my best friends. They never fail to make me laugh, whether its me and Amelia braving Aldershot to discover we have to do with Pizza Hut as Domino's is closed or realising that 500 Days of Summer is now one of my favourite films. They have been endlessly trying to make me watch it since it came out and I never bothered. Now I see I definitely should have.

Colour my life with the chaos of trouble.

Summer's yearbook quote, Belle and Sebastian lyrics. I'm gonna be a journalist so I spose I want this to be the case in my life. You can't get stories from thigns going right and everything being lovely.

The Christmas holidays have been lovely, I have loved being home and with my family and know that as soon as I go back to Bournemouth I will miss them so much. Even if it is my mum having a go at me that I miss or me yelling at my brother to turn down all the shooty-bang-bang games he continually plays on his xbox. Going to miss my friends again too and also -of course- Mr Oakley.
Charlie proved to be the biggest hit possible with my family at our Christmas party. My cousins loved him-some a cheekily more than others, my aunts loved him and he even managed to impress my uncles. But the highlight had to be when he got up and sung The Real Thing's You to Me Are Everything I thought I was going to burst with pride, embarrassment, laughter, admiration but mostly love. Our rendition of Rick Astley I must say was pretty flawless, but somehow I don't think we'll get away with singing it again. There's so much I could talk about but there's really no point, every moment with him has been perfect - including the fart conversation.

I don't think I'm going to do resolutions this year, I'm just going to live every moment to the full and when possible be spontaneous.
Key things in 2011 I will be looking forward to are Valentine's Day -that's my surprise-, birthdays, living in a different house, more hilarious times with Stace and Gemma, my very own radio show?, work experience, SUMMER, holiday?- if I/we ever get organised, turning 20 then Christmas all over again. There's probably more and there probably should be but right this second I'm living for now.

Love life. xxx
