New Camera and Moving
This is Pedro the fish! My friend is taking care of him for another friend at the minute and she spilled too much fish food into the tank so now the water is all dirty. :/
Went for a walk last night and I thought the light reflecting off of the wet road and pavement was quite pretty, it's also quite spooky for Halloween.
These are just some of the boxes around the house that we are getting ready to move into a storage lockup!
I have some good memories of playing guitar and singing in the summer in this garden, there are lots of weeds and it looks a bit tatty now though.

Poetry is Healthy.
Recently I have been struggling to be creative, as in I want to be but I think all my ideas are weak or I simply have to ideas at all. I didn't really know how to get round this so I tried to avoid doing creative stuff for a while, which obviously didn't work, tried watching more films, reading more books, watching more YouTube, writing down my ideas, but good creativity was hard to come across. However yesterday I went into Waterstones for the first time in ages, as usually I go to the library or shop online for books, I looked around for ages, reading different passages and pages from random books. And then, I came across the poetry section. I have never loved poetry more! I bought three poetry books (Family Values by Wendy Cope, Selected Poems by Sophie Hannah and Ariel by Sylvia Plath) and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (we are studying it at school). I began to read Selected Poems by Sophie Hannah and I could not stop, I feel like the way she writes mirrors the way I often think about things and, especially in her poems about men or relationships, I felt like I was on the same wave-length as her, she just voices her thoughts in wittier and more poetic ways. After reading a whole load of poetry from all three poets I felt really happy and, despite yesterday not being a great day, I felt like the little problems didn't matter as Sophie Hannah had one or two poems that could relate to the things that were getting me down!
After reading a load of poetry I went on Facebook and saw something really quite upsetting to do with a very close friend that I've had for just over a year now. I felt really betrayed and overall let down by them however where I would usually go on Tumblr and mope around until going to bed, I sat down and wrote a song! I think it may just be the second best song I've wrote and I think that's all down to my day of poetry! So thank you poetry for unblocking my creative block. :)
Here is some poets/poetry I can highly recommend:
- Rubbish at Adultery by Sophie Hannah
- Leaving and Leaving You by Sophie Hannah
- Insomniac by Sylvia Plath
- Once I'm Dead by Wendy Cope
- Preventive Elegy by Sophie Hannah
- To Whom It May Concern at the Whalley Range Driving Test Centre by Sophie Hannah

Broken
This is called "Broken" because I made it whilst listening to Broken by Jake Bugg, which is currently one of my favourite songs.

Dream Winter Clothing
It is my birthday soon which means money which means shopping! I already have a pair of leather, buckled heals like the ones above but I would like to get some new patterned tights, a leather (fake leather) skirt, a new bag and a coat for this Winter. The leather skirt above, from Topshop, is really pricey however it is exactly the style I want, simple and will go with anything. The coat, from H&M, is almost exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for: black, edgy, tomboyish, simple shape etc. And the bag is just gorgeous! I am looking for a new bag right now but I have loads of different styles in mind, every time I go shopping I find a new one I like!
