Walking Up A Mountain

I haven't posted anything recently because I haven't done anything worthy of informing the interwebs about. Or if I have, I have been unable to. 

Erm... What have I done... I drew some birds on the wall in my bedroom, moved my furniture around, bought some red jeans... OMG. These are the bestest, coolest, most comfiest jeans ever!! (not that you needed to know any of that, just thought I'd fill you in). 

What does one buy that girl who has everything? 

My friends birthday is coming up, I asked her what she wants and she said "nothing. anything." That is not helpful. Normally I would then listen to what she says very carefully for a few weeks to get some ideas, but no. This year, everything she wants she either buys there and then, because she has more money than she is used to, or her boyfriend buys it her. Which is lovely, but leaves me with no options. Help.

So, I think I'm down to as random as I can get. After all, she did buy me a "Toy Story, Create a Story" sticker box/book thing for Christmas. These are my options:

Ben 10.

Barbie.

Disney Princess. 

Disney (non princess).

My Little Pony (for the total abstractness. Neither of us is particularily into MLP. Or what ever the proper abrievation of that is, there is something about "brony" isn't there?)

Smellies. 

Scooby Doo. 

I can't think of anything else. Looks like it might be childish. I wonder what the Lego store has this year...

I looked. Much as I would like to get this for her...: 

It's not in stock. =[. 

Oooo! How about a proper My Little Pony?! With Brushable tail and everything!! Heh. I'll keep you posted, I should go, my mother is having a meltdown about the washing or something, I need to hide. 

P.S This really IS a ramble today. Sorry. 

Directioners...

People should not ask me for directions. This is your fair warning.

I give THE worst directions in history. Even though I know where and what I mean, I can't articulate it and I don't know left from right, well I do, but I always say one and mean the other one, so I end up producing a jumble of words that if you put them in the right order might, vaguely, get you where you're heading, but not quite. For example:
"Excuse me? Do you know the way to M&S?"
"OH! Erm.... yeah. Go down there, turn left. NO! Right, sorry. Walk towards the big building with windows, I can't remember what it's called but you'll know what I mean. Then turn right and follow the road. It's opposite a pub, with a big building with wings on the right..."
"Thanks...?"
"No problem. OH! Sorry! I meant turn left not right."
"Er... Which right?"
"The first one."
"Down the road turn Left?"
"Yes. No!!"...
And so on until I succeed in confusing both the lost person and myself. I think I basically confuse people so much they just walk in the general direction I pointed and hope.
So basically, to the nice old lady who asked me for directions earlier: I apologise. And also to anyone else who has ever asked me to tell them where something is.

SORRY!! o_O

Bournemouth

Yo dudes, you probably didn't notice but... I've been away. Gone. Not here.
Yup. I went to Bournemouth for the week and it was good. The sun did not shine, there was a lot of wind. It was very British tbh, but I enjoyed it.
I have drunk a lot of tea, eaten a lot of chips and walked a lot of miles. =]
Basically I'm telling you this because it links into the next bit...
You know a hotel is cheap when the carpet it 70's and threadbare, the wardrobe is hanging off its hinges and there is an avacado green bathroom suite, the sink of which is in the bedroom part of the room, not the bathroom part. Dated is not the word. It was like walking into a time machine.
Another thing I wanted to say was... It's a tradition in my house that whenever we go to the beach, we have to have Fish and Chips on the pier. Or near the pier anyway. So when I got down there, my friend and I decided to have lunch... £12 for a plate of Fish and Chips!?! That is daylight robbery. You can get them in any pub for half of that, why should being by the beach make it more expensive? If anything they should be cheaper, being "fresh" and all. I say fresh, it was probably shipped in from Spain or somewhere. Anyway, after careful shopping around it turns out this is pretty standard fare for fish and chips in Bournemouth. What a rip off. Take away wasn't much cheaper. And they were charging to get on the pier! Only 60p but the principle is the same.
This is a rambling sham of a blog. I appologise, I'm tired and sleepy.

Byeeee.... x

SN. I don't remember writing this, I must have been totally shattered.
