I'm in Luton, biatches!

Yeah, you heard me alright! This bird has flown the coop once again back to the land of university! I'm incredibly excited to see what the second year has in store for me... Hopefully it won't be too difficult ;)

It's been amazing to catch up with all of my Luton buddies, especially now the esteemed James (a.k.a. Hamez, Hazza P, Dr. Who... etc. :P) has joined me at the world of Cine! :D my new house is fabulous, although I have to admit, it was rather messy when I first arrived... Thanks, Ben & Kelly! xD But everything was soon fixed, and now I've settled in just fine! :D

I also have two brand new additions to my family - two absolutely gorgeous little Russian Dwarf hamsters! :D here they are, warming up to their new home:



Aren't they just the cutest things ever? The light grey one is called Otis, and the darker one is called Spud, courtesy of my lovely boyfriend! :P

Ugh, I've got work in about three hours. But I'm not complaining really - I'm actually looking forward to spending time with my work buddies! And then the awesomeness that is Rosie Khan is going to stay over at my new place tonight once I'm finished at work! It should be a good laugh! Although, I've failed to tell her that she's banned from drinking coffee while she's here. She's probably going to kill me now, the little caffeine addict that she is! :P mwahaha!

That's all from me for now. I'll keep you updated on my course over the next few weeks! :D yay!

Peace out, fellow freakazoids. <3

Never take life for granted.

That's something I've realised more than ever during the last couple of days.

The world lost a beautiful soul in Catie Glennon this weekend. She was such a bubbly, outgoing and fun person to be around, with so much potential. She was just going into her third year at UoB... such a waste of a young life. Although I wasn't an incredibly close friend of hers, I knew her well - not only did we attend the same university and share friends in common, but we also worked together for a number of months at Cineworld. It's crazy to think that we were often mixed up if people saw us from the back, yet now she's no longer among us. I've got a distinct memory of her from one evening at work - I'd taught Natalie, another fellow colleague, how to make origami cranes. As we made them together whilst sitting behind the box office, Catie and manager Adam Rose came over. After a few strange looks and remarks, we all ended up singing "The Bird is the Word" whilst dancing in true Peter Griffin fashion. The Catie in that particular moment is the Catie I'll always remember. Rest in peace, and I hope you're in a much better place now. xxx
