NY!

New years resolutions...they don't always work out, but I'm determined to really make something of mine this year. 

This time, I'm really going to try. Not because they're new years resolutions, but because there are some things I really do need to work on...and maybe the fact that it is new years will help me actually make these changes!

So, without further ado - here are mine, 4 days early:

1. To read more - I mean, read constantly, every night, every day. I don't go through enough books each year, and as a book lover this is a disgrace!
2. To run at least 2 times a week. This is a fair enough goal, I think, since I have only been running once a month...
3. To save up for the USA in June! 
4. To make a dent in the novel I've been wanting to write since forever. It ain't gonna write itself (or at least I don't think it will...)

My new years will probably consist of hanging with my sisters and co, having drinks and sing alongs to awesome music. I'm excited! Can't wait for 2013 =)

absolute fave song.

take me out tonight, where there's music and there's people and the young and the light.
driving in your car, i never never want to go home because i haven't got one anymore.
take me out tonight, because i want to see people and i want to see light.
driving in your car, oh, please don't drop me home because it's not my home it's their home and i'm welcome no more.

if a double decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.
and if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

take me out, tonight. take me anywhere, i don't care, don't care, don't care.
and in the darkened underpass i thought "oh god, my chance has come at last," but then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask.
take me out, tonight. oh, take me anywhere, don't care, don't care, don't care.
driving in your car, i never never want to go home because i haven't got one, oh, i haven't got one.

and if a double decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.
and if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us, to die by your side well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

there is a light that never goes out.
there is a light that never goes out.
there is a light that never goes out.

lists.

"You make lists in your head about what you want in a lover, like brown hair and a sweet voice. A sharp mind and a soft heart, a sense of humour that actually makes you laugh like you mean it. This and that. And it's all bullshit. Because people aren't lists. And I've always wanted to be the person who made someone realise that. I want to come across someone with a list in their head that is nothing like the person that I am, and I want to show them that they didn't even know what they were looking for. People who think they know what they want are fooling themselves. Nobody really knows what or who they want. Not until it's right in front of them."

the holiday.

one look at jude law's sexy face, i weep.
i love this movie.
the beautiful big bath tub, the snowy cottage, kate winslet's friendship with the old man, "don't blow away", jack black singing along to the music scores in the video store, jude law's cute kids, mr napkin head, "she had a great laugh." "what was that, she had a great ass?" and just everything about this movie.

le hobbito

why hello there, bloggers! it's been a while. forgive me. every time i go to write a post, i end up forgetting what i was going to write and give up. 

so, i'm going to dedicate this blog post to the hobbit film which is taking Wellington by storm, and the premiere that was basically the best thing ever.

now, i wasn't prepared enough to actually attend the red carpet properly. most people lined up for hours/some camped out the night before to make sure they got a place next to the red carpet. that wasn't me.  i had work that day. James and i wandered the red carpet during our lunch break, seeing all the sights, and the people dressed up (lots of hobbits!). it was amazing. it's fantastic. i am so darn proud.

the red carpet officially started at 4:30pm and i got there late. i couldn't see anything. a goddamn sea of people. i held my phone up in the air to take pictures, and practically bust my calf muscles being on tip toes the whole time. i heard the crowd shout "ELIJAAAAH!" when he apparently got out of the car, but i couldn't see anything but people's hair. i was mad at the tall people for being at the front. 

oh, and you know who i'm currently in love with? Aidan Turner who plays Kili. suuuuch a babe. in love. him and Martin Freeman who is flawless. 

here's what i saw: 

the hobbit, je t'aime.
