Day 22 (A photo that makes you happy)

Oh wow! This is a difficult one because there are SO many photos that make me happy. I picked this particular one because its not recent but it still puts a big smile on my face and I always remember this day.

This is my A-level drama group on the day of our final performance. As you do when over-rehearsing something we got fed up and bored and so when our teacher left the room we decided to raid the costume cupboard. We found so many hilarious outfits and were just randomly mucking about. This photo always makes me smile because we were just such a damn good group!!! :) 

Day 21 (Your favourite television programme)

There are a lot of good t.v. programmes out there!! And a lot that have been on and a lot more hopefully to come. At the moment though my favourite has to be Ugly Betty, purely for the drama and comedy! 


In general though I love period dramas and such like. Downton Abbey is on at the moment and a really great programme... Larkrise to Candleford has to be an all time favourite!! And Lost in Austen was a fantastic mini-series. 


I'm also a bit of a sucker for some of the reality shows. I love Britain's/America's Next Top Model. I do like Xfactor and Strictly but I don't watch it religiously... if I miss an episode it doesn't worry me! 


Oh. And... I love Glee. If you hate me for it, I don't care. I love Glee!! 
And with that I'll leave you with a short clip: 

Day 20 (A letter to someone who changed your life)

Dear Gilly,


I truly don't know where my life would be without you. You came to our family in a time of need and you have stuck with us and braved the storms of the hardest possible times of our lives; for this I could never thank you enough. Without you I don't know who I would be or where I would be, what I would be doing or how I ever would have coped... and I'd probably still be eating sausages and nothing without breadcrumbs on it!! I know I don't always seem grateful, but I truly am. 


I will never forget the day I first met you. We were at that Castle and Dad was trying to force me to go into the tunnels which I was terrified of!! Even though you'd never been down there and wanted to go you stayed out with me and we played I-spy... I think this set our whole relationship from then on, if I've ever been scared or needed help you have been there for me, and I know that you always will be. 


There is so much more to say, but I just wanted you to know that you really have changed my life for the better, and I am eternally grateful. I love you so much, thank you for being wonderful,


Ida

Day 19 (Whatever tickles your fancy)

This is my sister, Frankie, with my Dad and Grandma on her Graduation day (yesterday in fact). I wanted to put this up because I am so proud of her and I think this is a beautiful photograph. I love all my family so much and Frankie is the bestest sister in the whole world. Apparently she also got an award for her dissertation, but I havn't had a chance to talk to her properly about it so I don't know what that entails... but yeah, this is what "tickles [my] fancy" today! Love you sis!!

Day 18 (Set or share a goal)

Weeeelll!! There are a lot of things that I wanna achieve... I want to finish University with a good degree, get a decent job bla bla bla...


But my goal I'm going to set on here is to make it to Camp America this year! Its my last chance really to do it and everyone I know who has done it has had amazing experiences. It will be so amazing so, yeah! I'm going to do it! :) 

Day 17 (A photo that makes you sad)

Aww, this one is actually quite difficult... I had to look through my photo albums to find something but here we go:

This is Monty. There are many animals I have owned that have passed away, and of course looking at their pictures makes me sad... but Monty lost his life unfairly. He was only young and got hit by a car. He was a lovely cat and I was beginning to build a great bond with him (he started sleeping in my room etc). He had a great personality and was such a big boy! I loved this cat to bits and think its so unfair that his life got taken in the way it did :( 

Day 16 (Top 5 Celebrity Crushes)

Hmmm!! I will have to have a bit of a think about this one! Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of celebrities that are really gorgeous and I wouldn't say "No" to... But I'm just not a big "follower" of celebs... Never really been one to fall in love with a celebrity apart from perhaps a few:

Number one will have to be Gethin Jones. Lets face it, he's gorgeous, athletic and has a lovely personality. AND I wouldn't have to change my last name if I married him! There were lots of pictures of him topless because he has a ripping body... but I chose this one because I don't love him for his body, oh no, I love him for him. 

Number 2: Continuing from yesterdays theme of 'Prince Charming', I think Eric from The Little Mermaid is my perfect man! Yes, yes, okay he's a cartoon! But look at him! He is just lovely.

Number 3: Jake Gyllenhaal... need I say more?? 

Number 4: I know more than half the people looking at this and groan and say "Oh Ida...Twilight?!" But yes. I love the character of Jacob Black. He is just lovely and kind and I would always appreciate a man like him! It goes without saying that he has a great body, but read his personality and you know you'd be happy for me if I found a bloke like him! 

Number 5: You might be surprised to see Patrick Swayze in my top 5 celebrity crushes! And to be honest it was a bit of a surprise to me when he popped into my head. But in his prime Patrick was gorgeous and watching him in 'Ghost' and 'Dirty Dancing' makes my heart-a-flutter. Perhaps I love his characters.. but that goes for most of my crushes on here... What does that say about me? Can I not fall in love with REAL people, but only fictitious? Oh to be a Disney Princess...
