The Incurable Optimist

This is a really touching video about a man called Patrick who developed motor neurone disease (MND). Which means he is gradually losing the ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe. He is determined to use what’s left of his life and his diminishing artistic skill to encourage others to do something optimistic every day. MND may be incurable but he is an incurable optimist. "I know that through optimism we will find the cure to MND." I really hope he gets all 100 portraits done. Check out his website- PatrickTheIncurableOptimist

Who Doesn't?

Found this at TPH (uni) thought it looked a little like me when i was younger. Tried convincing housemates my mum had put me in for modelling casts when i was younger. They didn't believe it was me : (

Swedish Midsummers

Yesterday i went to Natalie and Steph's Swedish midsummers BBQ party. We made halo's out of leaves and flowers, had some delicious food and chilled out in the garden. The party was also a bit of a housewarming, because they have just moved into their new apartment. Everyone stayed up drinking and eating till 2 in the morning. It was cool because Tom Othick (creative partner) was in London for New Blood, and Ruby, another coursemate, so it felt like a creative advertisers reunion. The hightlight of the night...i got to try traditional Swedish sandwich cake, Natalie has been going on about this cake since i met her; "you have to try it!" But she never made it when we lived together. Its really nice, a weird combination of ingredients, but it is really tasty. Ill hopefully get to try it again as she only lives 10mins away.

Greyson Chance 2

Ive already written a post about this talented gangster, but he's now writing his own songs and they sound ear-meltingly beautiful. So here is the one to watch G-G-Greyson.

LDN

Im back home now, in my favourite city. I didn't realise how grand it is till i went on the underground. I felt like a foreigner, even though i have lived here all my life. I went to visit my old flatmate Natalie in her new apartment, we played Wii and her and Steph cooked me a delicious dinner. The apartment is beautiful, it just makes me want to move out now. Living back with the folks is going to drag like the final series of Big Brother.

Sex and the City 2

Yes had a very girly night watching this at with my housemate Meglaaaa, (Megan) at the cinema. Then came home to some drinks and girls night with Steph at ours. I thought the film was good. It was so funny. Most of my mates (girls) have said its not as good as the first. But i think it is. Anyway its perfect for a chick-flick. Ild watch it again.

Good to know

Lady Gaga

So im abit of a Lady Gaga fan. I love her music/fashion and her outrageousness. Ive been to see her live at the O2 earlier this year. And today's the day her latest video Alejandro comes out. Here it is...

Goodbye Engine Shed

Last night was the very last Engine Shed for all the 3rd years. The Engine Shed is Lincoln uni's Student Union club. They have wicked nights every Wednesday and Saturday. It was so packed last night. The DJ paused the music and told everyone to pose for a massive photograph, (not that you'ld be able to make anyone out, there were so many people). Good night, and a good way to end my Uni nights out. But i will be in Lincoln till the end of June, so it wont be the last time I go out.

A Bit Rude

An advert my mum pointed out, the last time i was in London. I still haven't looked up what its for.....kind of scared to.

Greyson Chance

This is Greyson Chance. A 13 year old who has posted his own version of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi. I think its beautiful, might even be better than the Gaga's (and im a big fan of the Lady!) I hope he makes it.....good at piano too!

Free meal at the Mill

Yesterday I went for a delicious meal with my flatmate Luke. It was a free meal, because he had won a £20 voucher at The Mill lodge, from a raffle for his course (i think he cheated). We had no idea where it was, so we used my iphone's sat-nav. We walked about half an hour. I had no idea where we were, but he's actually from lincolnshire and had no clue! So we had to call the place because we had only typed in the postcode not the address. Here he is waiting for our dinner..We didnt want to spend more than the £20 and we were so full, so when the waiter asked if we wanted dessert, luke said "NO!......can we just have the cheque please!" Haha...he must have looked like a cheap date.

Bored?

I thought I would be really bored- uni has finished and i have absolutely nothing to do...or wake-up for (besides New Blood Showcase) but with all 8 of my housemates, who have now all finished, we are just enjoying our final month in the house. We watch films together. Occasional have a meal together. Invent some insanely stupid game. And of course food fights.....the other day it was toast. Messy!
