"Well, it's a marvellous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?"
Well? Can I? :P
Excuse the little bit of Van Morrison there, I simply love that song! It's so passionate, I can't help but think about being seduced whilst having it playing in the background...! ;)
Moving on... SWIFTLY! Amongst all the articles, magazines and documentaries that I'm having to create for my final assessments of the year, I'm actually feeling pretty liberated. I'm hosting a 70s dinner party at my house on Friday as part of our magazine project... Here's hoping that the food will be alright! :P I'll keep you updated throughout the process of our magazine creation. I'm so excited about getting started! :D
We've already come up with a name for it, which is... "Clocking Off"! Basically, our magazine is going to be a weekend supplement for an existing newspaper. We chose to base the magazine on periods throughout time, too, so the name is fitting indeed! ;)
That's all we've got so far, but this magazine will soon be rocketing to the sky along with all of our ambitious yet achievable ideas! I can't wait! :D
Until next time my darlings! <3 x

Bill Gates needs to sort it out. NOW.
Today, I'm back on my high horse of grammatical errors.
In the past two weeks, I have been faced with something horrible. Something... despicable. Something which is, by ALL means, totally unnacceptable. Perhaps worst of all is that I have now been faced with this scenario TWICE.
I'm talking about Microsoft Word: Mac.
I do not know if this has occured on any Windows versions of the program, but at my university, we have lots of "delightful" Apple Macintosh computers - all of which have classic Microsoft programs installed on them, including Word.
Sorry; I'm stalling. Let's cut to the chase.
MICROSOFT WORD: MAC CANNOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN 'THEIR', 'THEY'RE' AND 'THERE'.
I know; I know. It's totally shocking, isn't it? A corporation as wealthy as Microsoft cannot be bothered to ensure that their programs understand such a basic form of grammar. I guess it's time for me to present the evidence to you. So, without further ado:
Perhaps even more sickening is that it tries to correct "their" again, but this time, with "THEY'RE" instead!
"...that THEY'RE whole fleet"? How does the phrase "that THEY ARE whole fleet" make any sense?! ARGH! Maybe it's Microsoft's way of paying back Mac users for their disloyalty. I can see Mr Gates giggling like a schoolgirl in his microchip throne now: "Haha, let's make a program riddled with grammatical errors so terrible that they have a mental breakdown and hurl their Macs from a 100ft building! Then, they'll HAVE to buy a Microsoft product to replace it because Apple products are so darn expensive! It's the perfect plan!"
...Phew. I guess that's my rant over for now.

Do you have a sneaky little secret?
I do.
I love... Scarves!
Sorry if you were expecting some ground breaking, Earth shattering story to leap into your face just then. Oh, you weren't...? Never mind.
Whether you like to admit it or not, everyone has a certain thing that they like to collect; be it shoes, bags, trading cards or stamps. For me, it's scarves. The scarf has been a staple fashion accessory in my wardrobe for the past two years or so now, and it's something you will rarely see me without. Sometimes, it's a good thing that I live in a relatively cold country!
I may not be an obsessive scarf pervert, but I DO have enough to match every outfit that I own. I counted fifteen in my bedroom earlier on, and I know there are more hiding away in my wardrobe! Grey, gold, green, pink, polkadot, leopard print... you name it!
Would you like to see a part of my collection?
