1. Since my parents disapprove me of buying UGGs because they are expensive (and would trying to persuade them they can keep me warm and I'm willing to pay for them myself), they may approve of me buying these boots! I love them! Only problem is that the biggest size is 8 and I'm a size 9. Would it be a good idea for me to squeeze into them? My Nikes are size 8 and I had them for six years. They still fit me.

2. So I'm doing a documentary at college with a group on illuminati, Satanic messages in songs, backmasked songs and 2Pac being alive. Not my ideas but they are the group leader's. I did question him on proving if 2Pac's really alive and asked him to watch/listen to 'Stairway To Heaven' being played backwards on YouTube.

3. My mum labels me 'boring' if I'm not hip or trendy like 'everybody else' or not like Uncle Pedge's daughters. However yesterday was different it was on my musical tastes. This all started from watching Come Dine With Me with a contestant who's a veggie and plays the ukulele and my mum saying: 'Boring! Boring!'

With downloading albums from the internet is the in thing, I much rather buy CDs. Why? I love reading the album booklets; I love album covers and plus the album has the information of when the album was recorded, who produced it, etc.

I downloaded a few albums from the internet and I may consider doing that again. I don't think shops sell Freddie Mercury's solo album Mr. Bad Guy anymore... Oh well. I love 'Made In Heaven' both versions by him and Queen (which was released around four years after Freddie's death).

Tomorrow's my birthday. I haven't got any plans at all of how I'm going to celebrate my birthday. Most likely a pizza, and I'm more than likely that I have to give my uncle a few slices of it. I don't have any DVDs that I can watch (waiting patiently for Mad Men). Maybe I can ask Miss B if I could borrow some or something. Or watch my Simpsons box set. Half-sorted then lol!

1. I know, I know I have vowed not to go back to my old school again but I ended up going back there again... On training day. It was nice to see the others teachers again. I think I may go back there frequently after all.

2. So it's September and there will no longer be the humid weather. It'll be replaced by rain and more rain. Oh - it's pouring down with rain right now.

3. I want to buy this t-shirt because I'm into rockbands. And these shiny trousers. What? If they looked good on Freddie Mercury, they'll look good on me?!

I am quite enjoying my trips to Wembley. I should use the train more often to get from A to B - it's so fun and quick!

Yet another trip to Ikea in Brent Park (it's near the Wembley Stadium). I bought a lamp shade for the ceiling in white. The reason why I bought one in white was because it can personalised by using paints. That was from looking at examples of the shade being personalised as a bumble-bee and paint splattered like a Jackson Pollack painting. The lamp shade that I wanted was in blue and was expensive - around three times the price of the plain lamp shade. Unfortunately that was no blue shade. I also bought a bed throw too. I was thinking should I buy some pillows or leave it...

I went to Ikea in Wembley yesterday. What a long day. I managed to get the lamp I wanted. The bulbs had to be bought seperately, initially I thought they were going to be free - WRONG! I told the people at the checkout nevermind about the bulbs and she said I could buy cheaper ones as long as they go up to 40W. Anyway, I did pay for those cool Ikea shopping bags. I know my mum would like to one!

I might want to take my second trip down to Wembley today. This time take a quicker route.

I didn't make this GIF. It's so right-click-and-save!



1. So it's Mad Men Mania. Season 3 kicked off last night on AMC (I know this because of the heavy doses of the show on ONTD and the internets). I believe that Don Draper is the most attractive character in the show, however he has his weakenesses which are being faithful to Betty. I don't like the way he treats her. Don cheats on Betty, who is left at home to look after the kids and is probably feeling lonely.

Don't get me wrong, Don is an attractive character (even in real life too; Jon Hamm likes to relax), but maybe he should be more honest about himself and make Betty happy. I'm not an agoncy aunt when it comes to mid-life character crisis's lol.

2. I've been watching Big Brother. I fucking hate Bea. At first when Noirin was in, I thought I'll like Bea because she speaks her mind. The short weeks came, then she suddenly converted into this whining, arrogant, bitchy person. She's such a drama queen, and she knows this. I hope that Bea is up for eviction this week. Also I was never keen on Marcus although I'm glad that he didn't leave on Friday.

My dad doesn't understand the whole Big Brother thing and would complain about my mum and I discussing it on the dinner table.

3. I did some freewriting the other night. I am proud of how it came out; I'm considering changing some bits so it could be the opening paragraph in my prologue. I have never been inside Dallas- Fort Worth International airport in my life but I could guess what an environment like an airport would be like anyway. Also I decorated my orange notebook by sticking on paperclips by using PVA glue. It looks nice lol.

4. I'm thinking of going to Ikea today. The one in Wembley. Hopefully I won't feel dizzy or have a headache.

1. On Monday I went to Ikea with my dad in Edmonton since it's near to us rather than the other three in London. We were looking for a bookcase for my bedroom. I jotted down the code of the item, but there was a catch... We had to look for the item through the warehouse OURSELVES! I have not been to Ikea for years so is this self-serving thing new? Anyway on the upside, I would like to buy this lamp that I saw.

2. I taking a little rest from reading. I really, really, really enjoyed reading The Colour Of Law. I would highly recommend it to anyone, who has an interest in justice and the law. As I was stacking up books in my new bookcase I realised that I don't have many books and I was also thinking of selling or giving away the books that I don't want anymore. Hopefully there won't be a lot of dust gathering on books that much anymore.

3. I love the CD rack which is near my window; it stacks up a lot of CDs. I put my Pink Floyd and Queen CDs on top. I was going to put the Pink Floyd CDs in order of year of release but nah. Now my room looks spacious and cleaner in comparsion to the old crammed up one lol.

The following is about Milton Keynes:

1. Travelling on the train to Milton Keynes from Euston didn't take that long - probably around half an hour or forty minutes there and half an hour coming back. I took off at Platform 2, I was kinda nagging the people who worked there where the train going to Milton Keynes was. I hopped on a train going to Manchester but the next stop was Milton Keynes. Phew.

2. I arrived at Milton Keynes central early, so I called my uncle to pick me up from the station. I am not the only one who was surprised that he can drive... Anyway going back to his house didn't take that long.

3. I saw Rosina and Monique, and my uncle's wife Karen. Their living room is upstairs and the kitchen's downstairs, anyway. We were talking about music and college, mostly things in general. Rosina initially planned that we could go to cinema, that didn't happen...

4. Monique and her mum out. Rosina took me to the shopping centre - it was bigger than the one in Walthamstow. Plus they had Build A Bear. Build A Bear! Cool! We went into a few shops, including HMV where I immediately spotted Pink Floyd badges! I squeed! I thought OMG! OMG! I had to buy these and I did. Also, we went into a new music instrument shop, I didn't see a Fender Strat (may it's placed at the back) but I bought a guitar pick which only cost 80p.

5. Returning back, Rosina was on the computer and I took a nap on the sofa because I was tired. Uncle Steve returned back and said that he was going to take us to some places for me to take pictures. I took a picture of a sculptor and a temple. I took so many pictures of them in b&w, sepia and colour.

6. Returning back to the house, Rosina and I played a car racing game on PS2 which was fun. After that I ate Karen's spaghetti Bolognese and it was so delicious. I was a little greedy though when I ate most of the garlic bread. Will I ever learn?

7. Then I head back home. Fun day.

That's all

P.S: It seems the Floyd fever is everywhere. I saw a man wearing a Pink Floyd denim jacket walking down Dalston today.

1. I have an ache in my back tooth. I think it'll go eventually, I hope. I had it when I was out in the West End, and I was thinking of having some of my back teeth removed. I had a filling before but it came out when I was chewing gum. I feel like a child again when I used to pull out my milk teeth to make the pain go away. I wonder what happened if I attempted to do that...

2. I went to New Look in the West End. I could have gone to one in Stratford or Holborn. Anyway, I tried on a skirt and I was about to try on a floral dress but I changed my mind and felt uneasy of myself wearing a skirt. I am usually in trousers or jeans but never in skirts. During the summer at secondary school I would wear a skirt. Many girls who wore skirts usually pull theirs up just to show off. That wasn't my thing.

3. I'm leaving home early to go to Euston tomorrow to avoid traffic. If I arrive at the station early, I'll just pop into the shops and buy some snacks. Milton Keynes isn't far I think, but it's nice to be prepared.

That's all

1. I'm afraid that I'll be coming home on Friday after all. My mum told me not long ago. My cousin Rosina has to go to an open day for a university place, I think...

2. I've been listening to Queen all day. It's so weird but I am exploring different genres and artists. Never know I might be obsessing over The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. I'm just into harmonising vocals and voice ranges.

3. There's a skirt that I would like to buy from New Look. I think I'll be buying more skirts. I usually wear jeans and the same boring clothes; I think I need an upgrade.
