Festival Festivities

Yesssss, finally some festival festivities for me to indulge in.
Grassroots is only a small Jersey eco-friendly festival
that presents this cool,
'peace-out man' sort of vibe
with the reggae, acoustic, famous and non famous bands they get to play there.
The venue is small but the lineup was SO huge!
Jose Gonzales
Natty
Bedouin Soundclash
It was amazing!!!
Jersey really outdid themselves this year.
Being stuck on this isle all summer hasn't exactly been... exhilarating
but I have to admit, things like this are worth the 40 quid.
It was so much fun, far more chilled out than most festivals
so I just totted around bumping into people all day and night...
Freeman and Tiff decided to take a nap...
A classic side effect of drinking before 3pm.
The couple in the back were stoned off their faces
and the looks that my friends got were pretty hilarious
hahah stoners, gotta love em.
2 weeks - JERSEY LIVE 2010
Can't wait.
Happy Blogging people

An Award Ceremony

Bonjourno!

So, 2 out of my 3 exams are over!

HURRAY!

Although 1 out of 2 of them didn't exactly go to plan, I'm feeling so... so... relieved.
I haven't been sleeping properly for the last week - sick with nerves - so after my second exam, I just crashed and burned and slept for a good 13 hours.
(perhaps the celebratory alcohol intake was partly to blame)
The photo above is of Freeman, Delia and I, meeting in the toilet of a chilled out barn party for some gossip and, of course, a 10-second-self-timed photograph. Don't be fooled by the cute stripy mug in hand... it is deceptively filled with some oh, so sweet, joyous wine.

My final exam is in 1 week, leaving me 1 week to begin revising for it... yikes.

Recently, I've been (quite rightly so) a blog neglector. So, to make up for it, I thought I would catch up by doing a post on the AWARDS I have been given! That's right, AWARDS!
how exciting!!!

My first award was given to me (oh, so long ago) by Mads from It's Okay to Procrastinate. This was back in the day when I didn't even know what 'blog awards' were, let alone how to respond to one. So, since I am slightly more 'with it', I must say THANK YOU! Madeline has been one of my long time followers and has been an inspiration to me and the way I write my own blog.

My second award was given to me by Chloe from Chloe in Reality. I love Chloe's blog! I am an avid reader and always enjoy what she has to say. She's a great writer. This award consists of QUESTIONS which I must answer! An exciting prospect...... I will try to keep it short and sweet though. Nobody likes a rambler.

1. How would you describe yourself in five words?

Sociable, creative, a leader, a friend, conscientious
- this was difficult.

2. What are your biggest aspirations?

To travel, to take photographs, to write about my experiences.. to get paid doing all of these things?? haha! Not gunna happen. But of course, my life will be one pursuit for happiness.

3. Brains or brawn? ;)

Chloe! haha. Ummmmmmm, talking about the male species, brains are more important in a sense that the boy is funny, kind and can multiply....
But a little muscle can't hurt eh?

4. Who is your greatest role model?

role model role model role model...... I want to say something original and interesting, but I can't LIE can I? No, so.. my sister is my ultimate role model, she's beautiful, fashionable, clever, organised, always right and so funny!! (damn her to be honest)

5. What are you most afraid of?

I'm afraid of disease and death. Everything about it.. eurghhh shivers.

6. Where is your favourite place in the world?

My favourite place is bound to change when I go off travelling next year.. but as I stand right now.. the beach, the sea, my home... my bed.

7. Who frequently appears on your music playlists?

At the moment -

Laura Marling
Vampire Weekend
Paolo Nutini (marry me)
Local Natives

8. What is your favourite food?

I have been pondering over this question a lot recently (one ponders when revising). It has to be....
cheese. ketchup. breads. beans. peanut butter. peaches.
basically all the fattening things, it's a shame.

I will 'tag' this award in my next post...

I have rambled, sorry! And I have seriously ran over time with this post. I need to revise, oops! With this in mind, I am going to leave my last award (which could potentially be my most entertaining award) for later. Sorry folks. But just so you know what to expect for next time........

It's a shoe award.

The award was given to me by MS ARSCOTT, whose posts consist of short snippets of her life with beautiful photographs to marvel at. The award is to post your 5 most prized pairs of shoes for all to see.

5 pairs??? Dear Lord!

I hardly have 2 pairs which I can actually say I'm proud of...
I will be mocked at by fashion lovers.
(I'm afraid when it comes to hair, make up and clothes - I am a simpleton)
but I'll give it a go.
It'll be FUN.

I'll leave this long post with what I initially begun blogging about - my week.
I won't write about it, I won't bore you any longer.
I'll just leave the pictures to tell the story.

Au Revoir mes amis!

Yes.
But they're just so good!
