3 things

I'm moving today. currently I'm sitting on the floor on my lap top with boxes lying around me waiting for help to arrive and take me to my new house. Although its excited, it seems that this time has been abit of a build up, a road that hasn't been exactly easy.

I absolutely love change but I also tend to avoid those big life changing decisions until I have no other choice but to do them. When faced with huge change it seems that there is also the potential for new growth, spiritually, and mentally, that I for one am not ashamed to admit I'm afraid of. A friend of mine has a theory of pebble rock boulder, that life has a way of guiding you, and giving you hints along the way, some hints don't go away, turn into rocks ie. big hints and eventually turn into boulders, where you have no choice, to in my case move.

Im afraid because...
1* Financially its going to cost me more money.
2* Im scared of the change of my life, my life becoming unpredictable
3* Being single

...well I hope this is normal anyway, surely we've all went through big changes at some stage?

Leave a comment telling me when you was faced with a big life changing decision you had to make below........

Charlie St. Cloud Official Trailer (HD) - Zac Efron

Eat, pray, love

Yesterday I went to see the resent "Eat, Pray, Love" I was hoping on going with someone other than myself, but it seemed that people were otherwise engaged so I was destined to go on my own. A few things to note before you watch this movie...

* Not everyone will like this movie.. why.. some people may feel it abit sappy, a girl trying to "find" herself after a divorce
* You may want to go traveling after seeing this movie
* This film will have you laughing, crying and feeling uplifted, its one of those like slum dog millionaire that even though at times is sad, you can still leave feeling happy.

Julia Roberts the star of the show, of course the epitome of the stereotypical fiercely independent strong American woman. She stars as Liz Gilbert, adapted from the memoir the book of the same title. The film sees her and her traveling around the globe after realising her year long marriage that she thought she wanted.. actually isn't what she wants anymore.. She jets off to Rome.. for the food... India to find God at an Ashram...and Bali where she finds Love.

Being someone that's definitely into self betterment in a big way, having went through my own sort of "wake up call" at 19, and seeing that the world really is more than what we think... that for the most part WE are the creators. I loved and connected with the message of Liz going on her quest to find herself. Plus given the cast of Hot male characters.. and the fact that its cheesy.. but not overly so, it was always going to be a winner in my eyes.

I also Loved the strong Feminist thread rolling through the film, that it is OK for a woman to be single and happy, and that she doesn't need a relationship to be happy.

Yeah of course I'm biased though because its my type of film.. has anyone been to see it that didn't like it or was pleasantly surprised? leave a comment below....

Talking of babes check out the new trailer for Charlie st. Cloud... Zac Effron, what a hunk!! mmm well that's one I'm looking forward to...

desision desisions!!

Ow yeah!!! Here I go again!! a week since my last post now, and a very mixed week at that. At the moment me and Neil are no longer together. After alot of talking and alot of deciding. I think its best to look after myself. so Im moving!! This week I wont lie, has been a tuffy!! loads of things on my mind, but I have been unhappy for a while, and I dont want to stay in a situation like that anymore!! We are still going to be top top friends though, and he is a great guy- but it just doesn't work on a relationship level..

Soo Ive been looking at a place for a while, and Ive finally found a lovely room sharing with a friend of a friend called Helen, shes lovely and crafty (likes making things) like me!! sooo no doubt we'll be avoiding the needles lodged in the carpets and picking cupcake crumbs off the floors constantly!! yey!! and the fact its 2 minutes from my old place and got loads of botiquey type shops aswel as being 2 minutes from the beach!!! :)

My friend Carise has been down from Sheffield too, and it has actually been nice weather down here atm, soo we had fish and chips on the beach, which was amazing!! We met at Glastonbury festival this year and She is such an amazing Friend. Definitely like we have always known each other or something!!

Ive also been hard at work, after having a major bitch fit early this week, over the thought I wasn't doing enough work. Now I'm on it and ready to go!! :) Ive just been making Santa's all this week- Ive just made one stuck up the chimney!! achoooo!! they are getting better too which is good, considering my sewing is quite basic!! :) anyway, speak to you all soon blog buddies, Luke xxx

Life...

Cool!! Sorry to be so cheesy but hello blog buddies! Im here today after only leaving the house once, from my day filled with Art and Film watching. My project at the moment for college has meant me making Kitch dolls. Im really enjoying this feat!! Ive made 3 soo far. But I have been very busy this week with lots of different things going on. The guilt has finnally meant me staying in for a whole day and working hard, Im now determind not to loose balance again and to keep on track with things.

Well Sheffield was lovely, at the moment though England is exceptionally rainy which meant it was kind of a wash out! I saw some amazing sculpture though and brought some cool dvds... finnally brought Avatar... how good is that film? Ive brought Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and Waynes world!! Which are all ace films!! I want to Build my DVD colection up with some really worthy DVDs!! I Love film!! and I want to make time for them!! O and recently I also brought MORE Ali Mc Beal!! Whom I love!! Claista Flockheart!! She is soo funny!! I know its an old series, but Ive recently rekindled my love for it!! and I want more!! So your likely to find me curled up in a ball of paper mache watching TV for the next month!! :)

Ive got lots on my mind lately with home life, I will be moving soon I hope. Im really excited for the change in the spinning wheel of life, that seems to be ever turning, whether we like it or not. Ive been avoiding this for a long time, but its finally time to accept a new phase of my life!

Gosh time seems to be flying by aswell, Octobers just begun, and before long it will be Novemeber... it seems soo wierd!! Im so greatful this year has been so amazing though and Ive had soo much fun! Anyway, hope you are all enjoying yourselves?

Ive also made some changes to my blog and added a few new pages, Feel free to check them out to and leave a comment..

Ciao!! xx

have you ever done it with a girl?

"Have you ever been with a girl?" Is a Question I'm often asked by my female friends, and Yes I have been with girls and had girl friends until I was 19 but excuse me once you've had cock there's no going back! ;-) I suppose its just natural innocent curiosity and nothing more, but its a question that annoys me. When I say yes I then tell them that no I don't think I would go there again. I think you can never be sure thou, sexuality is such a complex and dynamic thing that we are still soo afraid of and place soo much of our identity- money- and time trying to concrete

I think its funny though how we are curious to what makes these apparent "decisions" its not like I ever woke up and thought, "I know- a really good idea- I'm going to be gay" can't we all just accept people as they come? Yeah I'm gay and I don't continually ask all my straight friends if they would sleep with the same sex. Or maybe.. I should, ruffle them up abit!! Mmm give me ideas.... :-)
