Roll Away Your Stone

I know this is a very late post but I've been revising for my exams that are next week, scary times :/ Anyway I promised a resolutions post and that is what you shall have :) My first post on this blog was last year, January 6th to be exact, and it was on my new year's resolutions.

Here's the picture of my list, not very clear but ahh well. It's still on my wall even on the 9th day of 2011 :/ not god I know but it would look bare without it and I don't have time t make a new one yet!
So have I kept them? Well there were a lot, 30 actually, so it was a big ask of myself...
Don't feel you have to read this next bit, it's for me really :)

1. Run more- I have failed this terribly. X
2. Do more art- I did a GCSE and As level in it so that's quite a bit of work... ✓
3. Take too many photos- too many but maybe not enough? ✓
4. Drink tea- I completed that one! ✓
5. Get a fringe and keep it- failed, I wasn't brave enough. X
6. Do GCSEs- yup ✓
7. Do them well- I hope so ✓
8. Keep calm and carry on- I do try ✓
9. Make my room, my room- this one I can definitely say I've done :D ✓
10. Doodle- but I never know what to draw! X
11. Get quotes quotes quotes- of course :) ✓
12. Watch more films- I've watched more but not enough X
13. Buy nice cheap clothes- the discovery of charity shops and primark ✓
14. Be creative- I'd like to think so ✓
15. Go to more gigs- I've been to a few, but yer :/ X
16. Follow blogs- loads of them! ✓
17. Drink water much more- I actually have. I'm rather proud :) ✓
18. Eat chocolate much less- maybe this one was a bit too hard... X
19. Walk more- done and done ✓
20. Make fish tank better- or give the fish away and take it to the tip? X
21. Go places- this one's kind of hard to avoid ✓
22. Read fact and fiction- I haven't read enough but when I do it's fact :) X
23. Learn something everyday- that would be nice ✓
24.Think- I've done plenty of thinking ✓
25. Paint stuff- I did, that's in the past now ✓
26. Get loads of work experience- yup, but need more! ✓
27. Be inspired- yes and no ✓
28. Learn from mistakes- I'd like to think so :) ✓
29. Be early- Hahaha no! X
30. Learn how to go to bed earlier- I've learnt, it the doing that's the challenge X

So now I have to think of some for 2011, I'm so behind the times, I'm over a week late for resolutions but I need some! What are yours? I need ideas!

Thanks for reading,

The letter challenge continued...

16. Letter to someone that's not in your city or country-
I couldn't really think of anyone for this so I thought I'd use my cousin. So to you, Julia- I've seen you grow up, I hope I know you quite well but I think it's your surroundings that will change you. You have a strong personality even at a young age but I can see people pressurising you into being something you're not. We all have a time when the most important thing is to fit in and hopefully you'll soon realise that it's not. I hope you trust me and that you don't grow up and away from us. Georgina (or 'Nina' as you once called me!) xx

17. Letter to someone from your childhood-
It's funny that we used to be the best of friends. We didn't see each other for ages and even in secondary school didn't talk for 3 years! I hear different opinions of you from different people but I think you're alright. It shows how simple it is when you're little and make friends by sharing a crayon or something! So yeah, I doubt we'll ever be good friends again but it's good to talk to you from time to time :) Haha cya around, Georgina x

18. Letter to the person you wish you could be-
In no way shape or form do I 'wish I could be you'. I don't wish I could be anyone really. But there are many aspects of your life that are desirable. You seem to have everything going your way. You are the one person who will always do things better than me- you're pretty, clever, sporty, artistic and popular (I don't envy your popularity as everyone knows you are forced to be fake and I could never keep up that front) I really hope that the one ambition we have in common will favour me for once. I put in so much effort but you seem to get by with no input whatsoever. So yes, we shall see.

19. Letter to someone that pesters your mind (good or bad)-
To be honest, good and bad. You are a wonderful friend but with so many bad qualities. You make so much effort with texting me, ringing me and inviting me out, but with the important things you're not so good. You often use me, you ring me up to talk about yourself and when it moves to me you're not interested. You use my house as a service- there at your convenience and it's just not fair. Recently more people have asked me 'Is she really a good friend?' and even people I don't know well say 'It sounds like she uses you'. You pester my mind because I love you but I feel slightly trapped. Gina xx

20. Letter to the one that broke your heart the hardest-
I don't think I've ever had my heart broken. I've been let down and hurt many times but in the heartbreaking department I seem to be good for now.

21. Letter to someone you judged by the first impression-
I thought you were alright on the first impression. It was the impressions after that which changed my opinion. To be honest you seemed like a bit of a bitch, quite vain and you can tell you think highly of yourself. Now I know you a bit better I see the nice person underneath all of that but that surface still exists. I hear some of the things you do which are just not nice, but you still expect to be treated nicely yourself.

22. Letter to someone you want to give a second chance to-
I don't know what happened with us, we were best friends and the next day we weren't. We get on so well so let's make the most of it. If we spend more time together there will be more good times and more memories. We've been equally nasty to each other but it was so long ago that surely we can forget it? I hope so, Ginie xx

Hope you're all well, feel free to do this challenge if you wish, details are further down the page :)

Cigarettes in the Theatre

I'm going to carry on with the letter challenge that I started about a week ago (look further down the page for the list of questions and details about the post) I finished on number 8 last time- 'letter to your favourite internet friend' so next on the list is, of course, number 9 :)


9. Letter to someone you wish you could meet-
To my future husband (if you exist) I don't want to ruin any surprises but I wish I could meet you. Just so when we are old I can remember you when you were young. So we know the past as well as the present and it's not just a story or a photograph, it's a memory. If you do exist then you are out there somewhere, which is a confusing thought. I could walk past you tomorrow, you could be someone I know or someone across the world. I look forward to meeting you :) x

10.Letter to someone you don't talk to you as much as you'd like to-
Hello again, you're going to get fed up with all these letters but you've come up a lot in this! We can talk for hours so why don't we? I don't like bothering you but you say how we should catch up and so we should. We will both have to make more effort.

11. Letter to a deceased person you wish you could talk to-
To my grandfather, I don't know you, I've never met you but I only hear good things of you. I don't know what I would ask you if I could, but it would have been nice to have you around. Especially for my mum I know she misses you.

12. Letter to the person you hate most/caused you a lot of pain-
It's so odd but that part of my life is a blur. Maybe because I was young but I remember before that year and after it but the time in between just merges. It's like a dream that I never think about. When I do, I realise what a big deal it was- I took it in my stride and all the teachers watched on, not understanding why I put up with it until that day when I finally couldn't take it anymore. I cannot look you in the eye.

13. Letter to someone you wish could forgive you-
I'll will be honest, I can't really think of anyone. I've fallen out with people but we usually make up. The only people I can think of are insignificant- never good friends, no one who has had an impact on my life. Surely people who matter would forgive you? I just hope I've never hurt anyone enough that it will stay with them for long.

14. Letter to someone you've drifted away from-
I'll be honest with you I have no idea why we're not good friends anymore. We get on so well when we are together but we've both changed I suppose. We used to be so close, trust each other so much and have such a laugh. Now you seem superficial somehow, like there's more to you even though that's how you always are. I don't think we'll ever be as close as we were but I still love you :) Ginie xx

15. Letter to the person you miss the most-
Even though you're here in person, you're not quite here in mind. You know sometimes when you look in the mirror and you don't recognise yourself? That's how I am with you..the person doesn't match the face. It's so odd, maybe because I've known you for so long but you aren't the same girl I knew then.


That's it for now, halfway through already! I enjoyed writing these and hope you enjoyed reading them. There'll be more in the future :)

P.S. The title of this post is a song by Two Door Cinema Club- their music is insatantly lovable.

To Be Myself Completely

I got the idea for this post from Ana, it wasn't a tag but it looks like fun. I always think of this blog a bit like a diary and I think things like this kind of help you know how you feel, however cheesy that sounds :) I might give up and not finish them all as there are so many, but I will try :) Basically you just have to write a letter for each number:

1. Letter to your best friend
2. Letter to your crush
3. Letter to your parents
4. Letter to your sibling (or closest relative)
5. Letter to your dreams
6. Letter to a stranger
7. Letter to your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/love/crush
8. Letter to your favorite Internet friend
9. Letter to someone you wish you could meet
10. Letter to someone you don’t talk as much as you’d like to
11. Letter to a deceased person you wish you could talk to
12. Letter to the person you hate most/caused you a lot of pain
13. Letter to someone you wish could forgive you
14. Letter to someone you’ve drifted away from
15. Letter to the person you miss the most
16. Letter to someone that’s not in your city or country
17. Letter to someone from your childhood
18. Letter to the person you wish you could be
19. Letter to someone that pester your mind (good or bad)
20. Letter to the one that broke your heart the hardest
21. Letter to someone you judged by the first impression
22. Letter to someone you want to give a second chance to
23. Letter to the last person you kissed
24. Letter to the person that gave your favorite memory
25. Letter to the person you know that is going through the worst of times
26. Letter to the last person you made a pinky promise to
27. Letter to the friendliest person you knew for only one day
28. Letter to someone that changed your life
29. Letter to the person that you want tell everything to, but too afraid to
30. Letter to your reflection in the mirror

Ok so I will start with no. 1, very logical.

1. Letter to your best friend-
You know who you are, we've been friends as far back as I can remember and I have always admired you. Sometimes I feel like you're drifting away and I hope you recognise this, I don't want to lose you and it's easy to forget how valuable a friend like you is. Please stay close. Love you forever, Gee x

2. Letter to your crush-
I don't know you well but I wish I did. I hope none of them mess you about, I can see them doing that with ease. I would love to be better friends with you cos you seem like a nice guy, but you need to be careful who you trust.

3. Letter to your parents-
I've hated you both at times but I couldn't love you more. You're dedicated to helping me make my life what I want it to be, without being pushy and you allow me to be independent and make my own choices. I wish I could be more honest with you, I often lie to protect you cos the truth hurts and I would never want you to feel disappointed in me. Unconditional love, Georgina x

4. Letter to your sibling-
We've both had our times in the limelight, for a while I was jealous of the attention you got, I felt like I wasn't as good as you but now I've realised we both have our strengths and that you will better at some things as I will be better at others. We have so many memories and I hope we can stay as close as we always have been. I hope nothing comes between us and although I wouldn't say it, I love you :) x

5. Letter to you dreams-
I wish I could understand you. You puzzle me every morning when I try to remember you and put the pieces together, trying to work out where these thoughts come from. I've started writing you down because you're so strange. I find it hilarious to look back on you and wonder where you came from. Please visit more often, you're an amazing form of entertainment. From me x

6. Letter to a stranger-
I don't know you, you are no one in particular, I suppose you are whoever wishes to take a notice. Be strong, follow your dreams, have passion and don't let anyone stop you. Be yourself and have the power to control your actions, don't let others dictate your life. You are loved. From a stranger x

7. Letter to your ex boyfriend/love/crush-
I don't get you. You are cocky and arrogant but that's what draws people to you. I think you're a decent person really but don't have the confidence and independence to show it. I hope you grow out of your attitude and realise you're not all that brilliant. Good luck.

8. Letter to your favourite internet friend-
To all my followers: I started this blog from nothing. My first few followers made me jump up and down with joy that someone actually wanted to read what I have to say. And now, as my blog is slowly getting more popular, I'm grateful for any comment or new follower. It's such an encouragement and brings a huge smile to my face. Thank you all so much. Much love, Georgina x

Ok I think I'll stop now, I need some sleep :) This was actually really fun, it seems like a lot of work but try it, it makes you think about what you think...if that makes sense!

Thanks for reading, Georgina x
