Life in Pictures - Only Day 2 and I'm Behind Already!!!

So...here's the lowdown for those slow on the uptake....no, of course I don't mean you!! Hehe.

Everything Except The Grill - The purpose of this photo challenge project is to encourage you to pick up your camera and start capturing details of your life. This project should also serve as a way to look at what others are finding to shoot and will hopefully keep you inspired to look for more moments in your life you wouldn't always think to capture with your camera.Our first My Life. In Pictures. challenge will start on March 30th and run through April 3rd.The assignment will be: Monday- Something new, Tuesday- Something on your table, Wednesday- The view from your front door, Thursday- Something you do each day and Friday- Something old. If you need any more details they are listed here.

Seeing as though I have actually been having a rough couple of days (I swear I'm jet lagged from daylight crappy saving or whatever it's called!), and I am in fact
slow on the uptake (yes, I was actually referring to myself above!), today I will be doing 2 posts so by tomorrow I will be caught up with everyone!! Thursday's post will be a good one because I've already chosen it...Just playing Pretend - you already know it! haha!

My Something New

I have new shelves! Woo...somewhere to actually put my books!! Yay! it has been commented on that they are predominantly pinkish colours, a lot of the titles contain the word "shoe" and all have smutty pictures (Google for images of Star / Star Struck by Pamela Anderson - it's a cracker!) on the covers!

Next up is "something on my table"...I'd best do a bit of tidying!!

A Forever Sexy Sunday

So I survived the sucky Sunday, just about anyway and there is still a few hours of it to go so anything could happen. I relented! I gave up on Chasing Harry Winston (I read the first 3 pages and just couldn't concentrate). I picked up Forever this afternoon out of desperation for a bit of Sunday excitement! Haha, I'm so predictable!

I love it!

If you haven't read it...THEN WHY THE HELL NOT??? You can't say you've never heard of because I've posted about it before!

I'll give you the synopsis and then I expect you to go an buy it (well, you don't have to, but it is excellent!)...

You would never guess it but Forever was written in 1975! It was subject to a lot of controversy, as Judy Blume is a children's writer and this book (aimed at teenagers) was a little risque for it's time. Forever was also banned by numerous schools in the US and UK...ridiculous!

Ok if you're going to read this book read this plot summary, if you're not going to read it read plot summary #2!!

Plot Summary #1: A story of first love that you expect to last forever...until you meet someone else and your whole world is turned upside down!

Plot Summary #2: Katherine and Michael meet at a party during their senior year of high school. Katherine is a virgin but Michael isn't. Sex becomes a massive topic early on in their blossoming (I can't believe I just said "blossoming") relationship and once they have sex they believe this has "sealed the deal", so to speak, and that this will make their love last forever. Everything goes well until they have to separate for summer jobs taking them to different states. Slutty little Katherine (I think she must've been my role model on some subliminal level at 14) falls in lust with Theo, a fellow summer worker, and ditches poor poor Michael (haha), this inevitably leads to the break-up. It's a great coming-of-age story and I love it!

BY THE WAY if you haven't seen my last couple of posts, check them out HERE and HERE, because it’s super and uber cool and the bestest thing ever and you need to join in. It’s my 100% excellent recession busting plan (that, like I’ve said before, I cannot believe the government have never thought of. They’ll catch on soon though – like they did with my idea to print more money!). JOIN IN (or I’ll tell you how much you suck. Well I wont, but I’ll say I did!).

I Heart Reading

I do. No, really, I do! But I tend to get bogged down with general daily bla bla and once I’m out of the habit of picking up a book…poof…it’s gone! It’s even worse now with this rapidly increasing addiction to everything internet.

So, I made a point of picking up a book this morning before I left for work. I have a tonne of new books that I’ve just not quite gotten around to reading and so…this will be hard…instead of rockin’ out the comments like they’re going out of fashion (what does that phrase even mean? Surely if something’s going out of fashion you wouldn’t use it? Therefore making the phrase a bit backwards!) at lunch time, I will make myself look like a little studious bookworm, sit in the sun and read! The studious bookworm bit might be a little difficult because of the book I’ve chosen, I’m not sure I could pull off the “take me serious” look with said book (see pic!).

I’ve not even read the back cover of this book yet so I hope it’ll be good. Following closely in the footsteps of Everyone Worth Knowing I hope it will live up to my extremely high reading expectations…evidence of such is now to be listed:

- Star – Pamela Anderson
- Star Struck – Also Pammy
- Adored – Tilly Bagshawe
- Playground – Jennifer Saginor
- Showdown – Tilly Bagshawe
- A Certain Age - Rebecca
- Do Not Disturb – Tilly Bagshawe
- Everyone Worth Knowing – Lauren Weisberger

…As you can see, I’m definitely a classy reader. Ok, well I’m not. I love a good smut fest and I’m not ashamed to admit it!

My most favouritest (yes “favouritest”. It is a word!) book of all time is Forever by Judy Blume – the only somewhat smutty (when you 12) book you’re actually allowed to read so young! It’s also the thinnest book I’ve ever read. I can read that book in less than a day and I do actually tend to do that every few months. If you haven’t read it go and find it. Hunt it down! You’ll love it!
