Night time reading

Here is an extract from a really fun but strange book I’ve just finished reading, ‘Mistakes In The Background’ by Laura Dockrill. It is full of doodles and scribbles and poems. Not really a normal ‘book’ but its been fun to pick up and put down over the past year, and thats me finally read everything from front cover to back. Enjoy ♥

‘Be the other one.

The bigger one.

The bolder one. The braver one.

The one that calls back, that asks on dates, that makes the choise, that finishes the milk, that uses all the hot water up, that takes the blame, that rips the mates top or at least sweats really bad in it. Be the captain, cook your tea in the microwave – (I mean your dinner.) Do whatever you want – you can you know, you dont have to tell everyone that they are “looking well”. Have the last chocolate – the one that everyone wanted. Even if its strawberry or coffee… or liquer… or out of date. EAT IT. Do draw a moustache on your face for work – be the one that taps your pen at meetings. Hurry up. Say sorry. Be the world changer, the closet arranger, the pisstaker, the start over, the fall-asleeper-on-the-tuber-to-the-last-stopper-and-not-get-offer. Refuse to fake tan, dont wear “BECKY’S GETTING MARRIED, LONDON CHICK ON THE PISS UP 2008!” top. Just dont wear it. Why? Be the investigator. Pay the bill, accept the predictable, learn an instrument – even if its just the recorder. Snore. Wear boxers, shower in cold water, change your mind, dont dress up at the fancy dress party. Say “shut up!” expect it back. Sugar sandwiches. Never say never. “Yes, your arse looks fucking HUGE!” Sorry about earlier – I was a bit brash. Dont save cash. Take your top off at the beach. Leave it on in the pubs. Have 3 courses and enjoy them. Leave the restaurant. Say “love” say “hate”. Dont say “RANDOM”. Crunch ice. Own up to having nits. I had them when I was little. It was rubbish. But it breaks the ice when making new friends. Something to talk about isnt it?‘

These two lovelies are personalised brooches from Lady Luck Rules Ok (mentioned in my last blog) I’d get Ayden, of course, on the anchor and the initials D and A on the lovebirds 🙂 I love brooches! Good alternative to necklaces for me, because I have tattoos on my chest and I hate it feeling all crowded with a necklace hanging there too. Theyre £15 each and only available till the end of january 🙁 Im trying to save my pennies but I get paid on friday, should I go for it? I regretted not getting the Betsey bracelets on ebay so badly, theyre gone now 🙁 Okay, so it’s definately time for bed now. A cup of horlicks and Meet Me In St Louis on dvd is calling my name. Night all x
