If you haven't already discovered the amazingness of a magazine called Frankie - you seriously haven't lived! My sister buys them as soon as they come out and we always fight about who's reading the new one first. Even the front covers make me sigh in happiness! It's full of quirky stories and random thoughts and endless supplies of blogs all smashed together...what more could you want?!
So anyway, if you haven't read Frankie before - GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND RUN TO THE SHOPS AND BUY IT! Seriously you won't regret it. :D

Christmas time is here!
Christmas Day will soon be here! Christmas doesn't really excite me that much anymore. I think I'm more excited about catching up with relatives this year than the simple fact that it's Christmas or the presents I will get...
The part that kind of annoys me though is that somehow I still can't get to sleep easily on Christmas Eve. I'm still somewhat excited for what the next day will bring. :-)
I hope your Christmas is wonderful and you enjoy spending the day with family, eating as much marvelous Christmas delights as possible :-D
MERRY CHRISTMAS!...and a happy new year!

Poetry :)
Here's a little poem I wrote a long time ago... (It's based on the poem 'The Great Lover')
The Great Lover
These I have loved.
Galloping through the wilderness, journeying with a strong steed; feeling ever so free.
The distinct crunch of crisp leaves, crumbling under my shoes.
A distant rumble of thunder echoing across a valley.
Butterflies drifting past, mesmerising me with their beauty.
The alluring, rich smell of home baked cookies, seeping throughout the house.
Children's laughter, as they play with complete innocence.
Rustling leaves caught amongst a billowing wind.
Watching clouds creep across an unfathomable blue sky.
Raindrops crawling down my window, glistening in the sunlight.
The wondrous spectacle of a rainbow lighting up a dull sky
Being taken on a blissful journey within my mind, almost forgetting the cruel reality.
The amazing rush of adrenaline pumping through my veins.
Birds flying above me, soaring like graceful kites on a warm summer's day.
The comforting warmth that only a cat, a blanket and a hot chocolate can provide.
Long hot baths, making my worries float away.
Listening to the curious sounds of animals out in the night.
Catching up with old friends, reminising the precious childhood memories once shared.
The radiant display of a sunset eagerly greeting the night, with its last beams of sunlight.
A magnificent read which drags me away to another world.
Leaping from puddle to puddle of murky water, drenching myself from head to toe.
All these have been my loves.

Searching Youtube
Ok... Does anyone else find it hard to get started on Youtube? I always need to start with either a video my friends recommended or something I had in mind earlier. But there's really nothing that great that is on my mind to search... Plus, once I decide on a video to search, they're never really that great. So now I like to stick to finding one good video and spending hours on end watching their uploaded videos. For example - Today my wonderful friend told me to check out this vlogger 'losergoescrazy'.
http://www.youtube.com/user/losergoescrazy
Turns out that her videos are really quite cool :)
So I'm curious. What do you normally search to get started on Youtube?

Inspiration
So today I feel inspired...
Why you should know this, you ask? Well I just wanted to share this to hopefully make a smile appear on your wonderful face :)
Inspiration comes in many forms. It may occur at any moment in the day and often when you least expect it to. That's the best part :D
Sitting here on my Grandmother's old computer, rain pouring down outside the large window and reading a marvelous blog has caused my crazy imagination to run wild. Hence I am here writing this just for you...
You might experience this feeling when you:
I hope you feel the wonderful feeling of inspiration soon and that it fully captures your imagination and excites you to no end :)

You might experience this feeling when you:
- Watch a love-crazed bird fly into your window with a crash and then wonder why love hurts sometimes
- See a child's imagination overflowing with ideas
- Meeting a baby, whether it be human or animal. Amazed by the magnificence of a new life just beginning.
- Listening to a brand new, flashy CD. And experiencing the aftermath of listening to it every day...
- Hearing an animal call and wish you could understand.
- Imagining things you think only a child could imagine
- Feeling the power of Mother Nature, and loving it :)
- Making dreams end with a better ending than the original version
- Discovering an antique box in your Grandparent's cupboard, wishing to know of the eventful long life it has lead.
- Finding a blog which makes you smile
- Feeling the powerful yet gentle prescence of our amazing Saviour
- Running amongst friends in a park you've known for as long as you remember
- Thinking about your childhood dreams and how they've changed over the years
- Gardening and watching your hard work flourish into a forest of trees, plants, flowers, fruit or vegetables.
- Seeing a bunch of buttons and other interesting crafty things
- The first day of the Christmas holidays...
I hope you feel the wonderful feeling of inspiration soon and that it fully captures your imagination and excites you to no end :)
