THE Clothes Show Live 2012
On 7th December I attended The Clothes Show Live in Birmingham, an event that has blessed the city for 24 years running. I went a few years back and to my disappointment there seemed to be more make-up than actual clothes. It's fair to say that it's an annual thing, yes the makeup took priority over the clothes even though I'm not much of a make-up lover. The show however was a must-see, Daisy Lowe was the official ambassador of the show and Peter Andre modeled his new clothing range, Alpha. The styling on this years catwalk shone, beautiful materials teamed with perfect shoes. A real inspiration to create something from my own wardrobe. The clothes modeled on the catwalk were day-to-day clothes, nothing too eccentric or exotic for the likes of this countries unpredictable weather. I was thoroughly impressed with the ending of the show, a stylish take and dance off of Psy's Gangnam style, left me entertained and was a great way to end the show!

Christmas is upon us!
I have been slacking with my blogging! Firstly, there is the lack of time I have, juggling college, college work and a job. I have just had a sort of epiphany about my future. I was sat here, cleaning my room as per until I felt the urge to do college work. But not the college work that needs to be done, not the fun stuff but a game review for a pointless English lesson I have once a week. This proves to me that when it comes to work, I'd rather do the writing, weather its because i enjoy it more or because it's easier. from this, I gathered I would be better off studying writing as the work wouldn't be as such a chore.
My advance to others has always been, do what you're good at, not what you like doing. The reason for this:
If you have to do a whole career on what you like, you will do that much work that it will change from a hobby to a chore and you will dislike it.
If you do what you're good at, you will not have to find motivation to work, it will come naturally to you and will never be forced. you then still have your hobbies to enjoy and release the stress from the work.
I should listen to myself more instead of offering others advice.
On a lighter note, all my Christmas shopping is done and dusted, I'm about to wrap some of them. Getting excited now although I don't feel the spirit is there just yet!
I hope to report back in the next few days as I shall be going to the clothes show live <3

POEM: Spotlights
You caught my eyes with stunning charm, familiar smile.
You eyes and your eyes, my gosh your eyes. Like nothing I've seen so warm. You smile with your eyes and I smile though them back; textured, brown, rich but torn.
Innocent, dark and twisted. I could tell there was fault. winding me in with their magical power, your eyes are castle, your body the tower.
Innocent exterior, irrelevant now. When you turn to me ready, interior on show. Icy passion, blackness, spotlights, make out your eyes. Your warmth of unexpected kisses. Strong girl reject, weak weak weak, you can hardly keep up. Like you've been waiting forever for this type of love. Give in to the colour as you close off your sight, the darkness and spotlights of beautiful night, shocked as you're pleased from your brown eyed delight.

POEM: Lonely In The Day
And fixed I shall believe to be, the broken thing inside of me
One chance remains, one last leg,
I took the hint this time.
Dark is good.
Mortals just are we that stand,
and on this hanbuilt land we shout, spit commands
and the light is what confuses us. Fixed by dark it seems.
The light makes me insane

WHAT TO DO?
As I progress through my second year at college, I have doubts on where I want my life to head career wise.
Throughout my life, many paths have been my ambition, including:
astronaut, astronomer, astrologer, physicist, artist, CSI, lyricist, poet, author, illustrator, musician, singer, fashion designer, fashion blogger, editor, presenter, local MP and finally - Game designer.
That's a pretty long list of options.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO!
It's pretty optimistic if I did know what I wanted to do, but still, most people are applying for universities. Is that the right path for someone who's confused?
As much as I love my job, I don't want my position at McDonald's to become my career.
Here's my dilemma, if I go to uni confused, I'd have wasted and hold a debt of £30,000 with no gain. If I don't go, I'll stay working 'just for now', but I'll never quit.
If I were to take another college course, I wouldn't know what to pick?!
If anyone reading this would like to employ a confused 18 year old, please contact me below...

POEM: Parts
I am an object to be tampered with, a broken thing you cannot fix.
But like a fool you try, and fail everytime. Give up and finally see, believe all there was of me. To take it back with frustration, just as I start to believe. I'm a person who's nearly fixed
but now I'm broke again.
