#1- Cosplay at Comic Con

Horray! The biggest thing off my list so far. It was a great day out in London, spending around 4 hours in the actual Comic Con, then parading around the rest of London still in cosplay… Good times :D. It was really great fun, would recommend it to everyone! There's also an anime con hmmm...

Film Update

Okay, so being ill does have some advantages :). Pulled out some good old Hitchcock movies to cross off my list (now at the bottom of the page), both of which are pretty epic, very clever.

Dial M for Murder:

and Strangers on a Train:

Ill –.-

So i’m ill; Pounding headache, desert dry throat, aching limbs and a leaky tap for a nose is not how I wanted the last two weeks of school to end :(. But will hopefully be back on my feet soon, seeing as Comic Con is THIS WEEKEND, and i’m really looking forward to it :D.

Oh yeah, I need to visit a costume shop! Or else i’m going as Poison Ivy :P who looks like this:

102 Get first job

I’ve gotten my first job! It’s a Saturday job working in a hairdressers woo! It’s not amazingly paid, but I’ve been kept on my toes rushing around a lot, which I personally would much rather be doing then standing still. Horray! What was you first job, or where would you get one if you could?

Suggestions!

Just thought of an idea! If anyone out there has a great idea for another thing to put on my list, go ahead and suggest it. It might just get put on! :)

An Update

I thought we missed Comic Con but we haven’t! Phew. What a scare haha. Still need to think of and make a costume though… My friend is going as a KISS member, so i’m free to do pretty much anything LOL. I was thinking poision ivy or something because of my red hair… But isn’t that what loads of people go as? Have you ever been? Love to know if you have and if you dressed up. Sounds like loads of fun and can’t wait :D.

Three weeks until I go on holiday for 2, I’m so excited. Just two whole weeks in the sun, messing around and windsurfing. What could be better?

I’ve also added now a few more ‘firsts’ to the end of my list, such as driving and jobs etc. They are things that aren’t too extreme and aren’t goals as much per se, but they are milestones and it’s a step in my life when I reach them so I think that counts.

SOOOO, plans for the holidays anyone? Tell me! And thanks for reading, leave a comment ;)
