Day 17: Write About Something You Worry About A Lot

I'm a secret worrier! I worry about everything all the time! I guess something I worry about a lot, especially at the moment, is my grandmothers being alone. Though they have people around them, they're too far away from ME! And I would like to be able to look after them both.

Day 16: Post Your Favourite Book, Movie, Song And Food

Ahhhh its impossible to choose only one, So I'll chose the first one that comes to mind for each:

Book: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - I read it a few months ago and can't sing its praises enough

Movie: Kick Ass - One of my favourite films of 2010.. it was ballsy!

Song: Lost In The World by Kanye West - in fact, that album was one of favourites this year

Food: Roti - a nice taste of the Caribbean right there! Doesn't get any better!

Day 15: What Are Your Plans For The Future, Both Near And Distant

For the near future, I guess my plan is just to graduate with a decent degree! Get any kind of job and make some money, focus on music for a while, and have as much fun as possible!

Distant future, I would like lots of money!!!!!!! A nice house, a good job, and a beautiful family around me! What more could a girl ask for?

Day 14: Write About Your First Kiss

LOL!!!!! Erm, do I have to?
Ok, so it was on my 15th birthday (I know, late bloomer) with a boy in a park at night. It was weird and new and scary because I had no idea what I was doing.

I've definitely had better kisses since. Say No More.

Day 13: Write About The Worst Day Of Your Life

Ooooh. I guess I can't pinpoint a single worst day, but I have a few days which stand out as being particularly bad. So I'll just write the occasion and why it was such a bad day!

• Both occasions when I found out my grandfathers had died.... doesn't need explaining really.
• A Level results day!!! Ah was shit! I went on the website at like 6am after a night out and no sleep, so I had the whole day to feel shit about the failures

Actually, I think that about sums it up. I thought there'd be more on there too!

Day 12: Write About The Best Day Of Your Life

Erm, I couldn't say for sure the best day of my life. But the best day of this year has got to be TODAY! Ah I have had the nicest day ever.

So, Grandma decided to be the original gangster that she is and make a surprise visit to England. Like the journey from Grenada is an easy one to make by herself!!! The only people who knew she was coming was Mama and one Uncle. So she rocked up to my house at about 11am looking all cute and Grenadian! Then she calls each of her other sons from our house phone, saying "Your gift has arrived" and confusing the shit out of them. They clock on finally and they all come over, laugh loudly and drink plenty Rum, in true David Family Style.

My uncles left about an hour ago, and I got a nice 20 minute hug from the best Grandma in the WORLD! I can't even describe how nice it is to see her after 2 years! And this is the first Christmas I will spend with her, which makes it 5000 times more amazing!

Good GOOD GOOD times!! Ahhhh!

Best Day of 2010 Hands Down

I Just Realised...

Of all the books I've read this semester, there hasn't been even one that has really grabbed me! How shit is that when I study Literature!?!?! Just bad bad times!

I guess I saw it coming. I did a whole module on D.H. Lawrence, who I genuinely dislike to epic proportions. I studied literature of the 1890's as another module, and there was some Oscar Wilde and Sherlock Holmes in there, but nothing I haven't read before.

I want a new book!!!!! NOW!
Please?

Day 11: How Do You Feel Today?

I'm feeling pretty gravy. Having an inside day because snow hurts my feelings in an emotional way. Its been an average pre-Christmas day, just preparing and cleaning etc. I'm also feeling really really excited, but also really anxious for this weather to fix up.

Voice Crush

For the last three days I have literally been gassing non stop because I heard that Marsha Ambrosius is dropping an album really soon. Marsha was the singer in the musical duo Floetry, and I was pissed when I found out they split up. So when I randomly stumbled upon her blog and found out she had already done two mixtapes, I was well and truly GASSED! I've been listening to them non-stop for the last two days, and I wish I could sing like her, its just not even funny.

Anyway, the two mixtapes are called Yours Truly, and Yours Sincerely. The album is dropping next year and I know its gonna be called Late Nights and Early Mornings, and here is a real pretty track:

I wish this woman all the luck and success in the world!

MISFITS!

OH-to-tha-EM-GEE. Misfits is officially my favourite show EVER.... or at least until the next episode of Glee appears in my life haha. But really, honestly and truly, I am an addict, and its pissing me off that Season 2 is done! I don't think I can wait a year to find out wagwan ! The suspense will kill me!

So I watched the whole first season the day before the second season began, and it was time incredibly well spent. The first season was amazing, but the second season smashed it, without contest. Its been murder, sex, time travelling, masked heroes, lacto-kinesis (watch the show to find out what that is), and cliff-hangers that have me reeling for more more more!

Hands down favourite character has to be cute lil awkward Simon. I love me some geek, so he was always gonna be "right up my street", but he has just become more of a badman every episode! I'm  in love with him. Nathan is also an awesome and incredibly odd character, so props to him!

Bring on Season 3, and make it quick please!!!!

Day 10: Write A Letter To Someone Who You Love

Dear You,

The way I love you! You are a better friend than money can buy.Thank you for being You! Thanks for accepting me the way I am. Thanks for being there for me when I've needed you.
 Lets be friends forever.

Love
Leighan x

Day 9: Write A Letter To Someone Who Has Hurt You

Dear you-who-must-not-be-named,

Honestly, I think of you as complete waste. But I don't hate you, or even dislike you: I'm completely indifferent about you, and I think that might be worse. I'm a strong believer in karma, so your hurtful actions will come back and bite you in the back-off.
 You aren't really worth the time its taken me to write this. So I'll sign off by saying that I really hope you have a nice life, just leave me out of it.

Deuces.

Day 8: Post Your Favourite Quote

I find new favourite quotes on a regular basis, but one of my favourites has to be from the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, it cracks me up every time:

"When life gives you lemons, just say 'Fuck the Lemons' and bail"

Day 7: If You Had Three Wishes, What Would They Be?

1. Meet the perfect chocolate man, live in a beautiful house and have three beautiful chocolate babies.
2. I would wish that I could make singing my profession 
3. I would wish that all wishes actually came true

Day 6: Name A Place You Really Want To Visit, And why

I am desperate to go to New York!!! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of! (sorry, had to get that in there). But for a long time, New York has held a huge interest for me. Something about the yellow taxis, the never sleeping, Broadway, Manhattan, Brooklyn.
I'm hoping that I get to go this Summer! Cos I got a pocketful of dreams, Baby I'm from New York!

X Factor Bitches!

Matt won!!!! Ahhhh!!!
So happy he did! He was the only one on this show who had any credibility!

Day 5: Write About A Period Of Time In Your Life When Things Weren't Going So Well

I gues it would have to be right about now. This semester has been pretty difficult. My aunt died the day after I came to uni, and exactly two months later, my grandad died suddenly. So thats been pretty tough for me. On top of that, third year is a BITCH and I am swamped with essays! Its kinda killing me. So things havent been especially easy right now, but I have brilliant friends here in Homo Hull that keep me smiling, and the promise of a wonderful family Christmas to keep me motivated!

Day 4: Write About A Period Of Time In Your Life When Things Seemed To Be Constantly Good

To be fair, I can't recall many times when I wasn't enjoying life too much because I'm the kind of person who likes to keep positive about things. But if I had to choose a period when life was super sweet, it would probably be the summer of 2005. Just finished lovely year 10 where the work load is fairly non-existent (I miss those days!), so I wasn't in any way stressed out or overworked. Then I took a four week  holiday to Grenada with pretty much every member of my family! I'm talking uncles, aunties, cousins, brothers, mama! Anywho, it was the best holiday of my life! And I remember the rest of the summer being prett awesome too!

Good Times really!

Day 3: If You Had 24 Hours to Live What Would You Do?

1. Punch David Cameron in the face and make him cry like a little bitch
2. Get a tattoo and another piercing
3. Kick my next door neighbours cat! Bloody demon!
4. Bungee jump
5. Eat a box of Krispy Kremes and not share them with anyone
6. Spend the rest of the day with people who make me laugh!

Simples!

Happy Days Are Here Again

This is the kind of thing that makes me happy!

Day 2: Write About The Best Friends You've Had Over the Years

Ok, I'll start in secondary school. I was really tight with Lotte, Shanne and Caroline. We were kinda inseparable for a while, and I definitely have some really good memories with them. In Sixth Form, we grew apart I guess. There's no animosity there, its just the way the cookie crumbles.

A Level Biology trips meant the formation of JEL: Jes, Era, and Leighan: the coolest gang ever! The saddest thing about it is that I still call them jel, and plan to keep calling them that till the day I die. Anyway, JEL expanded into various forms, but the most significant other member has to be Adelle. We had some amazing times in school, and I love going back home and seeing them all again. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

My uni peoples are brilliant! Props have to go to Elmo, Dubs, Silks, Suj, Liz, and Jums. You guys give me the most jokes, we have the best times, and you've all been such amazing friends
