Remember that summer when it only rained?
And I was opening
And the old taste was a little different.
I was seeing people in a new light
And I saw myself in a new light.
I was everything I'd always wanted to be
Except I didn't want to be anything other than
To be.

Photo.... er... PHOTO SATURDAY!!!

So, I didn't post yesterday, but I have a really great excuse. I was up at five for the British Cheerleading Association nationals, and didn't get home till half nine. And quite frankly, all I wanted to do at that point was drink wine and draw on my self with felt tips.

Look at us being all cute. Thats not the photo, I just wanted to show you.

Back to today. Firstly, its Shakespeare's birthday, which is something we should all be celebrating, so there. National treasure and that. Secondly, it is also St George's day, and having thoroughly celebrated my Irish roots on Paddy's day, it only feels fair to get sloshed today too. Thus, we are going to make a lot of cake, and drink a lot of anything. Its the patriotic thing to do!!

But WHERE IS THE PHOTO I HEAR YOU CRY?!?!?! Probably not, you probably don't care quite that much, but I think its a lovely one, so here you go...

This is from a 1920s shoot of Alice in Wonderland. Alice was the first real part I ever played on stage, probably not an exageration to say that was when I fell in love with theatre. Its such an amazing book, an adult book for children. Holds a special little place in my heart... I have a picture on my wall and everything;

Its me and my cat, how sweet.

An unexpected side-effect of the flooding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters.
Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenomenon before - but they also report that there are now less mosquitoes than they would expect, given the amount of stagnant, standing water that is around.
It is thought that the mosquitoes are getting caught in the spiders web thus reducing the risk of malaria, which would be one blessing for the people of Sindh, facing so many other hardships after the floods.

We’re soulmates, friends and lovers and everything else that makes a happy marriage. Our hearts are attuned to each other, and we’re very close. I’ll get up every morning at five o’clock and make the coffee, then start pacing the floor, wanting her to get up. But I’ll let her sleep for a couple of more hours. If she smells the coffee, she’s up.
—Johnny Cash

Interesting. Some of the things that annoy me most in other people are the things I dislike in my own character? Perhaps.

Sigh. I want it to be summer, lazing in bare feet on the grass, listening to Joni Mitchell and braiding each others hair. This summer is going to be amazing, I feel it in my bones.

More trees like this in Liverpool please? I haven't climbed a good tree in years, perhaps this needs to be rectified!

I sure wish I was a butterfly fairy. When I was little, my parents did this thing where they used to leave miniature notes and presents for me in the garden from my 'fairy friend', and I'd write back, and we had a proper full on correspondance for years. It broke my heart when I was nine and I found out she wasn't real!

What I wouldn't give to be a bear in a tree. When I was about eight, I was convinced that one day walking home from school, I saw a bear in my village. You know, just chillin around the culdesacs. I was assured this was not possible, and concluded that I must have seen the ghost of said bear (utterly rational), and for years, believed I had a special connection with the spirits of bears. I think I tried to summon the spirits a couple of times through horrible rituals involving chanting and teddy bears. True story.

My camera broke. Considering replacing it with a polaroid, but the film is just so darn expensive.

Other thoughts include but are not limited to: Performing Arts Ball, Trochees and Iambs, Farenheit 451, Mongolian fur, scuzzy guitar fingers, mandarin oranges and Lord of the Dance. Ooh, and Billy Joel!
