guided tour.

Hey! :)

So, I haven't posted over the weekend - I work part time so I'm always busy (or sleeping).

Last week I had treatment of the walls in my room at Uni for damp and had to take all of my posters/pictures down and my room felt like a prison cell so this week now I've been able to fix it all, I've decided to give you a guided tour :).

This is the main wall in my room and I've essentially covered it in posters and photos that remind me of home :). so, featured on this wall is (L-R) Wall-E, the arctic monkeys, the big bang theory and 'Where's Wally?' and lots of photos of me and my f&f!
Oh, and the most important bit - my academic year planner which is laminated so I can write on it with a whiteboard marker! I don't know what I'd do without it and it cost less than £1! :)

 So, this is the wall with my notice board on (the only bit that I'm actually allowed to put pictures and stuff on - what a rule breaker!) and I've got a poster of New York, New York (I've actually been there!!!) and just a free a/w fashion one from an ASOS catalogue. but then on my notice board I've just got loads of pictures including a few photos, and just some pictures of my favourite bands (e.g. the black keys, foster the people, the vaccines, little comets, the smiths & arctic monkeys) and then various bits and bobs :).
On the picture above you can see my bed so I though I'd put a more zoomed in photo on too :), it's got my shoe box of my millions of nail varnishes and other bits for my nails (including a nail dryer - which is the best invention ever in my opinion) and lots of magazines because there are ALWAYS out because I'm always using them.
(oh, and my childhood teddys (Sammy) and my new microwavable owl which is SO cute!
So, this is the other part of my room. :)
Here you can see my desk, shelves, shoe rack (yes, I have too many shoes) and one more poster of the big bang theory.

I thought I'd show my shelves in more details because I think it reflects a lot about the necessities when going to Uni haha!
A summary of it's contents are: alcohol and soft drinks, easy cook food like pasta, noodles and rice, make-up, a kettle, ipod docking station, lots of DVD's, a biscuit tin, a fruit bowl (filled with chocolate and sweets!) a years supply of toilet roll (thanks to my mum!), texts books & a piggy bank (to save those all important pennies!)

My favourite bits:

 (L-R) my monkey memory stick, my post-it note dispenser (wow!), my pink sticky tape dispense and 2 ducky rubbers :).

my multicoloured diary and my weekly to do list mouse mat.
my tulip lamp! (I love that it's in a plant pot!) :).

So, that is my room - I have to admit that I love it and plan on filling it more :).

WILT (what I'm listening to) #1:

So, my best friend just recommended I listen to 'Imagine Dragons' and when I searched for them on Spotify I was disappointed to see there were only 2 songs there and neither of them were what he recommended (never mind I will not give up on them - they're now on my list of things to search on youtube!) but while I was there I couldn't help but look at a few of the 'related artists' to get an idea of what to expect from them.
On my explorations I fell upon The Answering Machine and I have to say I am in love.

If you like indie pop music you're in for a treat.
I'd say they've got a similar sound to bands like little comets and two door cinema club in the fact that they've got quite an upbeat sound but not too in-your-face happiness so I could easily listen to their music whatever mood I'm in. :)
So far my favourite songs  are 'Obviously Cold' and 'My Little Navy'.
I quite liked 'Its Over! Its Over! Its Over' but every time the singer says 'Oh' I can't help but feel the urge to say 'Whats Occurrin'' - this is hardly criticism of their sound but more a problem with my love of Gavin and Stacey.

Search them and Enjoy!
