It may be time to say goodbye to my blogspot.
It's served me well, but tumblr is just so easy to use and much better for my needs. Plus the layout of my tumblr blog looks better.
So pop on over to it and follow me.
This may be out of action from now on.
Sorry dears.

Love & hugs.
See you on the tumblr side.

I simply cannot stand how similar you are to me, especially since you stuck in the knife.
Now, back to polyvore, i have beautiful collages to make.

Currently blogging whilst Chris plays Rock Band, on medium, which he is so good at. I'm a little bit jealous as i'm pretty hopeless on medium, but i've mastered easy, so at least i'm not a complete failure; there are some people out there who can't play it all. Shit shock horror!
I admit it, i do love computer games.
Streets of Rage for the win.
Chris has brought the gamer girl out of me, not that it wasn't there all along; it was, lurking in the background like a dirty trampcat waiting to pounce. I just chose not to acknowledge it; i am a girl and all. Yes i like cakes and earl grey tea, and tea parties with flowers and pretty floral dresses as costumes, BUT i have a rather large soft spot for boyish games.
So i am abit of a geekazoid, but i'm proud of it.
One game i am unhealthily obsessed with is Grand Theft Auto IV. I can't even play it! But watching Chris play it is just as wonderful and entertaining. He lets me drive every now and again; i'm not very good as it. I 'forget' to hit the brakes.
Another game which is good to watch (and play if i could) is Red Dead Redemption. Yeehaaah.
Cow herding, so much fun ;)
So, yeah, if anyone reading this even feels the tiniest bit intrigued about gaming, find a boy, watch him play it, especially ones with a storyline like the rockstar games, and you'll have a completely different outlook on them. They're more fun than they look.

Listener, definitely; sometimes i like to talk, but i think i'm better at listening.
If your house was on fire and you could only grab three things, what would they be?
0 comments Posted by Jolie at 18:53My cats; splodgey, kimi and sooty.
Would you rather have the ability to fly, or the ability to breathe underwater?
0 comments Posted by Jolie at 17:15Fly, i've always wanted to be a birdie.
Sebastien Vettel, just because he smiles so much, and appears to be a cheery, intelligent and intriguing person. However, i'm happy with my current boyfriend, who's a million times better than any celebrity you can throw at me :).
If you could create a hybrid of ANY animals and any number of then what hybrid would you make and what would the 'breed' of animal be called?
0 comments Posted by Jolie at 14:21It would have the face of a ginger cat with a pink nose, the antlers and body of a deer and the wings of an owl, and it would be called 'the rare and remarkable gingerfied oweer' - it would be beautiful. I'd pet name it geoffrey.
Robbie Williams - nothing out of the ordinary. I really wanted to marry him when i was 5/6. Yes, i started young in terms of crushes!
'Lackadaisical' - it means lazy, yet it has far too many words to describe a lazy person! Surely 'meh' would be more appropriate?!

Battery operated fairy lights and artifical rose garlands. Yes please.
I'm currently in the process of moving out of my student house; i've been counting down the days since i first got here, which sounds ungrateful i know, but it's been a turbulent few months. The house wasn't in great condition from the off; i think when we came round to view it back in feb 2009 we were blinded by the previous tenants lovely decorating stills with patterned sheets on the wall and mood lighting. It masked the nastiness. Obviously, having livied here for a year you see every little imperfection, fault, and problem, like the backdoor which you have to slam really hard to make it lock; the leaky shower; the ripped wallpaper which we asked to be fixed when we moved in but it never was; and the tendancy for every speck of dirt to stick the the carpet, even after you've just hoovered it.
The landlord wasn't very good either. Took him months to sort the fire alarm out, then to sort our drains out, then he blamed a housemate for breaking her bed which was already broken when we moved in...useless.
However i have learnt afew things about myself and in general whilst living here:
1) I don't like dirty people - mess makes me agitated, less likely to eat, and more prone to grumpiness.
2) It is not my responsiblity to clean up others mess; i am not their mother, neither do i want the role!
3) I cannot bear white walls, and must cover them or else i keep staring at them at night and never get to sleep.
4) Walking up a hill takes TWICE AS LONG as walking down it.
5) Don't live with a druggy - i can smell weed a mile off now.
6) If it's clean people will use is, no matter if it's theirs or not!
7) Apart from me, it seems people leave washing up piling up for a week or only wash it when mould is getting out of control.
8) People can't seem to remember to buy basic things like toilet roll - actually they forget how to be hygenic at all.
9) I can cook, actually COOK. (well, whenever there was a clean space in the kitchen i attempted to cook).
10) I'm reasonably clean and like a clean house. Clean house = happy house. Yeaaah.
11) I'm a night owl. Twit-twoo.
12) I like my independence, and also my takeways, which i must cut down on, like NOW.
Now i feel all sentimental; must regain bitch-self and remind my head that this place it a shithole and i will never miss it. Bye bye house, i'll have left you by 4pm, never to return again. Ha.

Here's some of mine to tantalize you.

Florence + the machine make my heart beat in ways that no other band could...
Muse used to have that effect, however i am left horrified at how horrendously awful their new song is, which happens to be the lead song on the new Twilight film soundtrack. Dear god, i never thought the day would come where i'd be reassessing my love for Muse. Saddening, but we all change and move on.
However, i cleansed myself by watching Florence's new video; pure heaven. The lady is beautiful. Her voice evokes sparkling shivers and her videos are a visual delight. Such a wonderful inspiration.
Ages ago i did a couple of illustrations based on florence. Here they are, taken from my flickr account, which seriously needs to be updated at some point.

I can't wait to do some more illustrative based stuff over the summer hols. I adore performance and video, but as i don't have the equipment to record films then illustrations has to take a more dominant role. I may still do public performances though. We'll see how it goes.
Also, i need to make some money, so i'm considering selling a load of my cds on ebay, if anyone's interested i'll put a list of those i wish to sell up on here. Sometimes you realise what's more important, and although i love my cds, i could do with the cash.

I went into Lakeland the other day, and lingered over some beautiful cookery books, such as this one below.
The images literally make my mouth water; sweet treats of gorgeousness. Ofcourse, i have to behave myself from now, need to stop eating so many sweet things and enforce a diet upon myself, somehow!
Uni is nearly over; first year is nearly done. Excitement, and a little sadness. It's overwhelming. I'm so pleased to have found my way again in life.

I've found an easy recipe to make myself some starbucks style frappuccinos at home! Looking forward to making my own creations and seeing if i can match the delightful taste of my favourite coffee drink.

'We're having a gang bang, we're having a ball, we're having a gang bang against the wall!'
Me and my lovely friend Sally have done a performance together, as we fancied collaborating, as we're both performance artists, and we're both rather fantastic. We have similar tastes and both wanted to do a self initiated piece seperate from group seminars and crits, to bulk up our research portfolios and just for abit of good old fashioned fun!
Here's a little ditty from my practical research explaining the piece briefly:
'The piece involved the two of us assuming polar-opposite characters who sit side by side in differing environments eating food in very dissimilar ways. The extremity in difference between the two protagonists came across clearly and humorously, as I played a child who tried her hardest to communicate with Sally’s character, who was snobbish and disinterested in involving herself with an immature, gluttonous monster.'
i love cake :)
hopefully a video will be uploaded soon.

From Laura Ashley, so beautiful.
There's something about roses that i love right now, i'm not sure what, maybe because of their feminine appeal and charm, and delicate petals.

Quick post about what i'm looking at right at this second.
Had another look round our new flat yesterday just to get a feel for the space and the sort of things we'd need to buy for september. I want a couple of bookshelves, but i want to customize them with wallpaper or fabric, just to give it abit of life. But can't do anything until we move in september 1st, right now all i can do is sit and wait and fantasise, and make cushions in the summer holidays. Hoorah.

Again, more pictures from Country Living, which is turning out to be an amazing resource!
' "Everything you need for stylish interiors is hanging in your closet," observes Annette Tatum, owner of House, a shop in Santa Monica. '
Lovely inspiration for my home studio that i'll have from september. Cannot wait to decorate it with amazing things.
A Marie Antoinette inspired home anyone? Yes i think it would be visually delicious and so charming!
I LOVE IT! So romantic, calming and full of loveliness. Just a bit too white for my liking, but still so very pretty.
You can find the images here on the country living website: http://www.countryliving.com/homes/house-tours/rose-vintage-home-0507
