"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

This is a random blog because I am procrastinating and don't want to do uni work so I thought that I would post some cute pictures that I found on We Heart It   I was enjoying some peace and quiet and searching through blogs when I found this website and there is some adorable pictures on it. Oh, and whilst I was procrastinating I decided to change my hair since I haven't for a while and also get sorted for Newcastle on Saturday with the boyfriend. Super excited to go to the land of the Geordie's

 I adore paw prints and for ages wanted some as tattoos. I saw this picture and instantly loved it. 

This reminds me of my baby, Ginger! Sadly, he is no longer with me but he used to cuddle into me like this.
I thought this was amazing and that it would be a very good way of promoting endangered animals.
I told my boyfriend that this is all the animals we are going to have when we are older. 

This makes me think of the future. I have so much ahead of me and it's up to me how it turns out, so watch this space.

"Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

Aberdeen is having abnormally warm weather at the moment, not that I am complaining or anything, but nobody was expecting it. Hopefully it lasts for a couple more days as I am finally off work! And in other news, I am going to Newcastle at the end of the week for some shopping and to celebrate the boyfriends 18th birthday.

Anyway, it's been a while since I did a fashion blog so here's one of the rare ones that I will do. I'm not going to lie, I am not overly into fashion but with a friend like Laura you cannot help but take an interest some of the time.

So, one of my favourite designers is Betsey Johnson! I love her quirky style and when I walked into her shop in Florida I instantly fell in love. The only thing was I couldn't afford anything when I went in. Betsey Johnson is an American fashion designer best known for her feminine and whimsical designs. Many of her designs are considered "over the top" and embellished. She also is known for doing a cartwheel at the end of her fashion shows.

I really wish I had a Prom or something like that to attend so that I could buy this stunning Prom dress.

This is the coolest jumper ever!!! I wish I had a spare couple of hundred dollars to be able to purchase it! The quirky idea of the duke box pattern makes the design cute and something different.  
This monkey ring has been on my wish list for months now. It is adorable! There are also earrings to match!!!   

So if there are any millionaires out there who want to buy some pretty things from Betsey Johnson or if the designer herself would like to give me something then I would happily accept.

Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ….And then you shot across my sky like a meteor.

So as much as I cannot stand the Twilight Franchise anymore, the next installment is on its way. I swear I saw the first film 30+ times but I think I over exaggerated the obsession then and since haven't been as interested, but the end is nearing and I'm interested in the how they end it because to be honest, the books were a disappointment but there is so much in it the film could be interesting.

I also found out some interesting gossip about the film: The Wedding Scene has been shot. Apparently there are only a few weeks left of filming left which is quite exciting to be honest. I always find it exciting when a film that's quite high profile is close to its climax (such a film dork). Lot's of the stars from the films have been tweeting about it recently too. “Long wedding night until 6 am. Everyone was SO neatly frocked up Just about to start facing this Saturday…,” “Twilight” noob Mia Maestro tweeted on Saturday (2/4/11) night, revealing nothing else about the highly anticipated scene. Ashley Greene seemed equally tired by the shoot when she too took to Twitter on Sunday to share with her fans her exhaustion from shooting into the wee hours. “Whyyyyyyyy can’t I fall asleep! These night shoots are killing me! Messing up my sleep patterns hard core,” she wrote.

Also, they are making sure that these scenes are kept private for now after the sex scenes were leaked a few weeks ago. The problem with this is that the scenes were shot but not edited so therefore were to explicit. The leak prompted “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer and director Bill Condon to release a letter proclaiming how “heartbroken” they were over the shots being released. Pattinson was also reported to have been fairly pissed about this: "I want the 'Twilight' troops to mobilize, all the good fans, and find out who these little sh--s are and just hack into their computers and destroy them. I'm being genuinely serious, 'Twilight' fans ... Punish them."

I suppose before it's release I really should watch the other films, but I always prefered the fan fictions (sometimes they were even better than the original) If anyone fancies reading any then visit:

Why hadn't I thought of that? No blood. What a beautiful idea!

After a brief blogging hiatus, I am back! Been having a bit of a crisis with what I want to do in the future, but that is over now and surprisingly I have decided what I want to do thanks to a TV series.... No doubt, I will change my mind again but for now I have decided that I want to learn Toxicology and eventually work for a Forensics team... Slight change of career eh?

Anyway, I have to thank Dexter for this specific change of career. Am now working my way through the third series of the show and am slightly obsessed. The idea behind it is so amazing and I am hooked. Now, don't get me wrong - I don't want to be a serial killer or anything but the work that they do within the office is amazing.
Taking the murder aspect out of the picture, I love the work that Dexter does with forensic bloodstain pattern analyst, however there is no need for this in the UK or if there is, I am certainly in the wrong area for it. Toxicology on the other hand is used quite a bit in my area - for those who don't know Toxicology is the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. It is the study of symptoms, mechanisms, treatments and detection of poisoning, especially the poisoning of people. Since I was little I have wanted to be able to help people and this would be a way of me fulfilling that.

Anyway, enough of my ramble. Back onto the point of Dexter. So the show has five seasons (which I am currently watching the third) and has been commissioned for a sixth, which I am very happy about. Michael C. Hall is the genius that plays Dexter Morgan who has inspired this blog today. Set in Miami, the show's first season was largely based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, the first of his series of Dexter novels. 

Dexter structures his serial killing ways around "the Code of Harry", a body of ethics and procedures devised by his adoptive father Harry Morgan (who was a Miami cop) to make sure Dexter never gets caught and to ensure that Dexter kills only other killers. Harry also trained Dexter in how to interact convincingly with other people despite his dissociative mental illness, which Harry believed to be sociopathy, arising from Dexter witnessing the brutal murder of his biological mother, Laura Moser.

So that is a brief introduction to Dexter and I thoroughly suggest that anyone who hasn't seen this show before rents it or watches it in some way or another. It really is brilliant and has the perfect mix of suspense, fun and mystery.
