Cocktail Party

Me at a cocktail party not too long ago. Bless those sweet little year 12s. :)

I believe the drink i'm holding is called a Pina Colada.

hmm, it was creamy with a pretty strong alcoholic after-taste.

Joanne the Loner...

It's been quite a while dear blog...

I feel that i've become quite the loner and stuff... but perhaps i'm just being dramatic.

Here's an update:
-I've done a series of uni interviews
-Gotten rejected from one and received an offer from another one
-I've gotten drunk for the very first time...
-Had a series of arguments and stuff with quite close friends... which has made me rethink myself as a person and the people i can truly call friends.

Uhm, that is all i can think of.

Also i have a violin concert i'm performing at this saturday. (So tomorrow, as it is 1:49am, Friday) And i can't even play my piece through properly....


And i haven't been sleeping properly for the past few weeks.

So, indeed- life is peachy at the moment!

Hope you like the new layout (i'm into wallpapers now)


I shall try to keep you updated as much as possible.

[Insert cool photo of me at the moment, if i could be bothered..]

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Kill Bill.

Quentin Tarantino is a genius.

Must get soundtrack!

Dead Heaven

Now, for the people that don't know me well: I LOVE COMICS!

And about 3 years ago i discovered Webcomics... Life has not been the same since. Webcomics are basically when artists post comic pages up on the internet (making them easy for other people to reach) they are usually done by aspiring/ free lance comic artists. I therefore find them really refreshing! :)
At one point i shall run you all through my timeline of comics (it goes back approx. 10 years!)

-But now i have an amazing comic to recommend (As i shall from now on endeavour to do, from time to time)

It's called 'Dead Heaven'
Absolutely beautiful art. (i just can't help stopping by the site every now and again to stare at the pages...)
The story line is looking to be very interesting too! :) v. cleverly structured i must say.
And it's only recently started- so if you want to catch it early, here's your chance! :)

Though, i will say- the updates aren't very frequent... i'm talking a couple of weeks between pages (but i def. think it's worth the wait!)

WARNING: This one is not for the faint of heart! So read at your own risk.... that is all i shall say. lol....

First time I've ever cried reading a book...

...was 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger.

Amazing, took me far to long to read because i simply didn't want it to end. And then i got so hooked i couldn't stop reading it- spent two days reading the last half (200 pages).

Amazing. Romantic beyond belief. Out of this world concept. Sci-fi. Written in a very intelligent and unique way- jumping back and forth and between characters. Incredibly touching. Best characters ever.

Henry. Clare.

and i cried. i've never cried reading a book.... ever! cried so much i had to put the book down at least twice and go blow my nose and dry my eyes... i was afraid of getting the book wet since it was my friend's...

so READ IT!!!

Sent off UCAS today...

Yeah, sent off my UCAS application form for dentistry today...

after pressing send i was swamped by a sea of emotions....

-the immediate desire to want to unpress the 'send' button and check through for the 10th time
-followed by an anxiety attack
-huge sadness
-fear
-the loud thumping of my heart
-then going to eat something (i hadn't had lunch and it was 2:20pm- ish)
-texting my sister
-feeling a bit better
-reading a comic
-feeling a lot better
-feeling suddenly hyper
-running around the room
-giggling, laughing
-sudden calm
-contentment
-being at peace with the idea that i did all that i could
-going to my physics lesson

ah, yes- indeed folks- a dramatic day!

having only had 3 hours of sleep the night before probably didn't help...

nevermind nothin' i can do now!

i just gotta sit tight a wait now.

Amazing shoes!!

I know i'm becoming a shoe-freak

but these are definite contenders in my grungy-boot hunt!

From today's shopping trip to central London with my sister!

Personal Statement Nightmare!!

Yes, so it's the 11th of October today

The UCAS deadline for dentistry is the 15th of October....
