Tea and Toast

I don't love tea actually, but a friend of mine does. Yesterday I realised I have never finished a cup. Tea is like the background music to a film about biscuits or toast - you need it to help make those things go down smoother but on it's own it's not enough. Toast on the other hand is so simple but so nice; I like it well done with butter and marmite.


Currently I'm poor and have started to venture into the Asda Smart Price range. I might have mentioned before that I love food more than anything, so it's hard for me to settle for that crap. I have big plans for when I get my loan though, I'm going to order from this place I've kept the menu for for a while. It's Thai and not too pricey and I have it pinned on my wall to remind me of better days ahead while I'm eating a Smart Price chocolate mousse that tastes like burnt chocolate custard.

I'm very jealous of all my friends who are going out and having fun when I'm stuck in doing all this work. I miss friends from back home in Derby a lot and I'm looking forward to my week there in Easter :)

Taking a Vow of Awesome

I went to see The Lion King on Saturday with my family and it was absolutely amazing. I knew it'd be good but I didn't expect it to be so breathtaking. Rafiki the baboon is one of my favourite fictional characters and the woman who played him was so funny and had the most powerful voice. I had tears in my eyes for a lot of the show :)

I also want to post this little story that I think is really cute and beautifully illustrated -

I would love to be a children's illsutrator, it must be such an uplifting career. At the moment I'm doing quite well in Screenwriting at uni which I'm proud of because I though I'd struggle with that module most of all. My proposal for a short film 'Fir Tree' went down well and I'm currently writing the script for my final project.

I still use paint whenever I'm feeling a bit down or frustrated and it's like cheap therapy.
