January

Mufti Day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, which is usually the case! It was a good day and wasn't really different to any other, I was probably over-worrying as usual.

Had a really good weekend, I went to my friend Mackinlay's for a sleepover on sat and was really good to spend some time with her. We haven't spent a weekend together for a while so it was nice. Got some new jeans and a top from topshop from my mother so am happy.

Sometimes with certain people I have this strange thing where I need some reassurance that I'm important to them or that they care about me. It's so annoying, and in the end of course I know they care about me but it's been happening a lot lately and I have talked to the person about it and I know I'm important to them and shouldn't need the reassurance. We talked a lot about it and it was something silly I was doing, but it's so easy for anyone to do that and I'm sure I will learn.

It's the last day of January - thank god! It's just seemed to go on forever and this means I can look forward to my 14th birthday and spring. It's been an okay month for me, I definitely had a good start to 2011 so hope that continue. Just need to work on being happy but I will get there.

Found this cute pic on someone's blog and I love it, printed it out and it's on my famous wall ;) :


Right now I'm listening to Don't Tell Me by Avril Lavigne - love her, have all her albums and have had an obsession with her since I was 7. Her first and second albums are amazing, she writes such great lyrics. Her third album was a bit of a let down, with only a few beautiful songs. She's trying to make a comeback and has released her new single What The Hell. The song's okay, I just hope with her new album she can bring back some of what she used to have. I loved that. Wish she hadn't died her hair blonde :L she had gorgeous hair = why dye it?! Anyway here's one of her great songs from her second album "Under My Skin."



3 Positive Things: 1) I love love love my blackberry curve and have had it for one month now! 2) Reading books which I am really enjoying. 3) Have found some amazing quotes for my wall (:

Much Love,

MUFTI DAY

Mufti Day is kind of a weird thing for me.


I love it because:

. It gives you a chance to express yourself
. You can have fun, because it seems like a more relaxed experience
. Conversation points



But yet I hate it because:

. Everyone wears the same stuff: what's fashionable. I think I saw al least fifteen of the very same varsity jacket that I was about to wear this morning, and ten rose-pink knit jumpers.
. The designer con(spiracy): I mean, seriously, look at this top/dress thing:





The colour is alright, but the cut and ruching at the front would just be so unflattering to anyone over the age of seven.
Now, what if I told you it was Abercrombie and Fitch?
Immediately, half the people in my year's opinion would change from 'Ew' to 'That must have cost loads: Therefore, I love it.'
I mean, do people wear these £100 gilets just tp prove that they do, indeed, have £100 spare to spend on such impractical stuff as gilets? They keep your core warm, sure, but you should just get a nice coat instead of a ridiculously unflattering thing which makes your body look about 10 metres by 100 metres, and your arms like sticks? Not good.
And also, Mister Jack Wills. This is for you. Why do all your clothes say 'Fabulously British' on them, when the labels inside clearly say that it's 'Made in China'? Surely something so expensive should be handmade by grannies in the countryside, not machines in China? What are you paying for, aside from materials and labour?
I'll tell you.
You're paying about £80 for that tiny little embroidered ostrich with a top hat and walking stick.
