nothing to declare

                                                  Too much to do. Not enough time. 
                                                          -bleughhhh to life


I'd like a little motivation, encouragement and positiveness at this current moment in time. I think I might buy myself a pretty vase to keep some beautiful flowers in or maybe wish to move to Pariee and dream of drinking hot chocolate in dainty cafe's. That is all.

My new year plans

With most of my thank yous sorted, and a quick touch on remembering the potential of 2012, I think its time to tell you the way I'm welcoming this new year in.  I'm off to a party tonight, but at around 5 to twelve I'm leaving the house and finding a place outside to sit down and pray. Then I'm returning at 5 past 12. Call me crazy, but I want to end 2011, and begin 2012 thanking god for all he has done and for all he will done. I am excited for a chance to get dressed up and have a lot of fun tonight, but I'm far more excited to welcome in the new year with my Lord and Saviour. I've decided on a life resolution, forget the tradition of finding someone to kiss at midnight, every year I'm going to spend the changing of the date with my God. 2012 makes me excited, even though I've a very cynical best friend who thinks "Its just another year."

2011 has not been easy; I've had low points, lost loved ones, cried a lot, but I've greeted new people, had amazing times, cried laughing, and made memories i'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything i've endured this year, and I'm grateful that I'm blessed enough to enter 2012 surrounded by amazing people, and with them around me, I know I can handle whatever 2012 throw my way.

So whatever your doing tonight; staying in, going out, friends, or family. Remember how very blessed you are. and remember that when we enter 2012 and that clock strikes 12 & the fire works light up the sky, I'll be praying for you.

MISC: A 2011 thank you

The idea of the New Year is a stange thing. I'm one of those people that cannot move forward easily. At least not without looking back. I created a survey a few days ago, and one of the questions surrounded the idea about  knowing more about the author, and the overwhelming majority, said yes, they'd like to know more. So with all this in mind, I wrote a list. A list of thank yous, not just a note to say tarrrrrr to people relating to my blog, but to people who have shaped my life. Tomorrow morning I'm hoping to be up bright and early to write something proper regarding the new year, but I couldn't leave 2011 without saying thank you...and I've even dedicated a page to it...

READ MY THANK YOU LIST!

MISC/PHOTOGRAPHY: I've missed you all!

Hey Everyone! Yes, you are right in thinking I said that I wouldn't be blogging until Christmas eve BUT I guess I just couldn't resist taking to the laptop to let you all know nothing in particular, apart from the fact, I miss writing. There, I said it. Quote me at a later date when I'm ranting about how much I hate everything even marginally related to my blog. But honestly, I've missed typing away my own little thoughts! So here I am with nothing important to say, but I've recently discovered my camera takes in black & white (I am so stupid, I know)

                                                (Random black & white photo I took before)


 and I'm avoiding revision so I guess I'd ramble on a bit about totally unrelated things and throw in a few photos!

                                                            (Working the Geeky look)

1. First of all, I have to say that I am completely and utterly obsessed with the wombats. I absolutely loved them when I was about 12 and obviously, so cool. Then like most bands I hold strong affection for, I simply forgot about them. Though I haven't been able to get them out of my head for the past month, "OHHH PATRICAAAA, THE STRIPPERRRR, YOU ARE MY SUNSHINEEEEE!".



2.I have also developed a serious, and maybe slightly worrying addiction to Starbucks Gingerbread lattes. Even though I spend at least 3 hours of my week from January to October in Costa, November signals the start of coffee shop resolution and I find myself subconsciously drawn to the      green light, and before I know it, I've whipped cream and everything.

(Oh, the classic)

3. It Snowed the other day, YAY! I was really glad because It was the first time I had a decent camera to actually be able to take some photographs! And it was on the last day of school and it made everything feel a bit more Christmassy!

 4. A very happy birthday to my lovely friend who turns 17 on this Wednesday! The new banner is basically from last night, were I had some of my amazing best friends round for Pizza & Films, though we didn't watch a single film, only the Lovely Mr. Michael Buble.

                                                           (I love this, happy birthday Bestie)

                                                     (All of us doing the "Jess Corcoran pose")

                                               (Amy & Sexy C couldn't resist my glasses or hat)


5. I spent last weekend in York! Although I didn't get much time for shopping since it was a family trip I got the chance to take quite a few photographs that I'll post on my new Flickr within the next hour or so! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessiecorcoran


6. Here are some photos I took really quickly before displaying today's outfit! I originally bought this dress for Sixth Form but its too short now so I just tend to wear something over the top of it!

                                                              (I'm now brace free, yay!)

                                                         
But yes, that's all! Check my Flickr soon & remember to like the facebook page If you haven't already! Thanks for reading, and keep checking back for the Christmas posts!

MISC: My new nails!

    Nail art has been circulating around for a while now, so with the help of my lovely friend Fiona I finally ditched my ever present crimson colour in order to sport this perfect polka dot pattern. It has now a somewhat disgraceful chipped state due to my own lack of care and enjoyment for picking of the little white spots (it was so fun, seriously) but I definately love them, and I will certainly try persuade Fiona to paint them again for me!

I hope your all having a great week, and i'm excited to reveal the christmas project i've been blabbing on about over on the holy tightss facebook page! many people are already involved, but if you want to be, simply let me know!

MISC/STYLE/RELIGION: Sorry, Its been a while...

On the eve of the final exam (textiles, appropriate don't you think?) I've finally decided to take to the laptop to try and write something more then a status. Read with much caution the word "try", but please don't worry yourselves, I am quite ready to fail. See after nearly a month without really writing anything (History and English do not count, half of my essay's made absolutely no sense) I think I've genuinely forgotten how too.

I don't know what I want to say to you all, expect that some of you more observant lifeforms may have indeed noticed the fact the URL has changed, again. I just can't help it, I get bored.

That's something I'm not going to apologize for though, my lack of contentment means that I'm constantly trying to make things better.I am in every sense the opposite of a perfectionist and I do hate most changes but when it comes to achieving something I'm happy with, admittedly I can't seem to find a balance between my own acceptance and the approval of others.

I guess that same thing comes in to context in our own personal style. When in life are we finally mature enough and self assured to say "you know what? this is who I am" and then reflect our attitudes, emotions and feelings through our clothing. It is of course no easy battle to conquer. When do you stop caring or seeking others opinions on your outfits? because if your outfits are meant to reflect your personality, why should you be judged for who you are.

Now is the time for me to hold my hands up and say, I do it. I judge, and I don't mean too and I shouldn't, but I somehow I still do. Its not to a major extent at all but it is something slightly evident both in my life and everyone Else's. It seems to be a default reaction when yet we have absolutely no right to judge anyone, only God can judge. I think that's something we should all really think about, we hate being judged, yet we judge.

The cycle has to stop, and soon.
