Here it is, the end of another month. Since I spent the last 28 days writing about all things lovey dovey I’ve decided to take some time off from the nausea inducing and share with you a collection of pictures I have accumulated on my laptop along the way. A lot of them are from Tumblr, some are from Google, and they all appealed to my slightly more affectionate side. Apologies if these photos belong to you. Continue reading Goodbye Love Month.
You know those things that we hate to love? The things that we really, really, really love that we know that we really shouldn’t. There are so many things to choose from, aren’t there, that society would scowl at? Things like Jedward for instance. I love Jedward, Jedward are awesome. Do you know why people are so divided by Jedward? It’s because they’re fun, they’re completely frivolous and as long as they are having fun they don’t really care whether you like it or not. This divides the world into two people – the ones who are jealous of their … Continue reading Hate to Love
“Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it’s not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I’ve got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I’m lucky, he’ll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.” Stolen from http://www.searchquotes.com, original source unknown. It’s so true, and I love it. Continue reading If I’m Lucky, He’ll Come Back.
“Single is not a status, it is a word used to describe somebody who is strong enough to enjoy their life without depending on others.” There you go [insert definitive nod here]. This isn’t my quote, but it’s basically something which I say all the time. It’s the root of the “I’m single because I don’t need an ‘other half’ to be whole.”. Oh, and if you are single, and you disagree with the above statement (if you’re one of these girls that moans about not having a boyfriend, or vice versa), then I managed to find a quote that … Continue reading Relationship Status: Independant.
There is something sickeningly cliched about getting married on Valentine’s day, but that’s what thousands did regardless. Edith Casa and Victor Cingolani were one of those couples when they married over in Argentina yesterday. If you haven’t read their story, let me fill you in about why I’ve chosen to write about this particularly special couple. He is currently in jail serving a 13 year sentence…for killing her sister. Just let that sink in for a minute. Now I know that you have already formed your own opinion, but let me give you mine anyway. I think it’s beautiful. I think she’s … Continue reading This Is Love.
Happy Valentine’s Day! How was your day? Suitably sickening? Or perhaps it was as tedious as every other year? Did you get any cards? I never, quelle surprise. I’m not going to lie, it was just another Thursday. In my life Thursday’s have a reputation of being a little bit terrible ( it’s like that Monday morning feeling all day). We’re all allowed a bad day once in a while, and today just happened to be my turn again. Let me impart my new-found wisdom with you: 1. If you have an injury and you roll onto it in your … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
If you are British and you haven’t heard about the ‘horsemeat scandal’ that we’ve got going on at the moment, then please tell me where you’ve been so that I can come and join you. I know this post perhaps isn’t linked with the whole love and romance theme I had going on for February, but I’m angry. The whole love nonsense makes me quite angry too I guess, so there’s a (very subtle) link! In brief, for those of you who are successfully oblivious about everything horsemeat, tests have been carried out on a heap of food which customers … Continue reading Neigh Surprise.
Girls everywhere melted a little* (*turned into huge soppy puddles on the floor) when this video from Tom Fletcher’s wedding day went viral on social networking sites in January. This is so cringey. Like, makes you squirm in your seat cringey. I’m glad that I am not his bride, because as much as it may be sweet/cute/adorable/whatever, I would be positively mortified. I suppose maybe you get used to that kind of shenanigans if you’re marrying a popstar. Even guys were getting in it, congratulating Mr Fletcher and saying he deserved an award. Maybe he does, but I would have … Continue reading Tom’s Wedding ‘Speech’
Shakespeare wrote over 154 sonnets. I’ve just written my first sonnet and I’m feeling no need to write another one ever again. A sonnet is a poem, more often than not romantically themed, which is exactly 14 lines long. Each of these 14 lines has exactly 10 syllables, and works to an ‘abab cdcd efef gg’ rhythm. Basically, if you never paid attention in your english classes, it means that every other line rhymes except for the last two as sonnets are finished off with a rhyming couplet. So maybe it’s because I don’t like rhyme, maybe it’s because apparently I really like … Continue reading 140 Syllables Later…
Okay, I’ve succumbed to listening to some soppy(ish) lovey dovey songs, and here are the five which I have decided encompass everything that a good true love should be (in the perfect Disney princess, hearts and flowers, Mr Perfect kind of way that various romantic publications tell us is right). Vomit buckets at the ready… 1. I Won’t Say I think my subconcious wrote this song in my sleep, because I do this on a regular basis (it pains me to admit that). There were so many Disney love songs that could have made it into this list, but this … Continue reading Top 5 : Soppy Love Songs
