Distractions

I can't believe the holidays are nearly over- again! Holidays can never be long enough, in my opinion. As long as you've got some good friends, some time to kill, and maybe some cheesy pizza and cheesier films, there's always something to do.
Admittedly, the party scene has been somewhat bleak- apart from a few hometown piss-ups, it appears everyone's actually been working so they an pass their A-levels/ afford to go on holiday this year. I, on the other hand, have foregone this sensible approach, to do the following:

1. Spending lazy days under the covers with my squeeze, watching crappy films and picking out the glow from the fairy lights in his eyes.
2. Trying Walker's slightly bizarre new crisp flavours in bed with H.
3. Reading comics about emo-scenester-vampires.
4. Eating shitloads of my favorite greasy, cheesy, order-in pizza (they're actually so perfect, they're above my mother on speed dial).
5. Buying my own weight in books from the local charity shops, including Geek Love, Memoirs of a Geisha, Love Lives and With One Lousy Free Packet of Seed, which were all my 'to buy' list anyway.
6. Dancing around J's bedroom to the new Lily Allen album. Not world's biggest fan, but a lot of fun to dance to.
7. Blowing lots and lots of money on cheap tacky bracelets (to mix in with my expensive ones, so my arm-wear looks a little more kooky and original) and luxurious cardigans in the sales (to throw over flirty spring blouses, or keep safe for when winter rolls around again).
8. Keeping H company via telephone, as she is under house arrest for getting wankered in front of her Granddad.
9. Spending any remaining minutes after comforting H on the squeeze when he went to visit his family.
10. Watching Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. I defy you not to fall in love with one of the adorable gay guys from 'The Jerk-Offs'.
11. Making some sweet mixtapes :)
12. Having a duvet day with my girlfriends, and watching Minute Men. I know it's Disney, but you should watch it for its cheesiness, predictability, and the fact that you can tell the little one is going to be hot when he's older. And I also quite like the big scary guy, but I always love big scary guys :)
13. Listening to Masterpiece Theatre. Not as good as Fix Me, but still suitably mind-blowing.
14. Trying to teach myself to cook- not as disastrous as it might sound.
15. Actually making some progress with my 'self-destructive-party-people' novel, which I'm hoping will be more Great Gatsby than Gossip Girl.
16. Praying the holidays won't end. It didn't work. Thanks again, guy in the sky.
