I like my books witty and my hair blue




I went and got my hair cut and coloured today! I'm really happy with it, I love the shape and decided to try rocking the middle parting for a little while to see how that goes. I'm sure in 5 weeks time I will be getting it cut into a different style again. My hair is very thin so I prefer to keep it short but I'm lucky that it does grow very fast.

In other news I spent the weekend reading this:


Well can I just start out by saying it is AWFUL. If you like books with no plot, very little characterisation and lots of repetition, then this may just be the book for you. I actually can't think of one good thing to say about it except it gave me a bit of a laugh afterwards as I reflected on how truly terrible it is. If you haven't heard of this book, which seems to be taking the world by storm, lucky you. The basic premise is girl meets boy, boy is mysterious, rich, devastatingly good looking and emotionally unavailable, girl is clumsy, shy and naive, boy and girl embark on relationship that revolves around arguments and sex. That is actually the whole book. You don't need to read it now as that is all that happens. I just saved you some time and money there! 
After finding out that FSoG started out as Twilight fan fiction, I kinda understood why it was so awful. I have read all the Twilight books and enjoyed them for what they are but Stephanie Meyer is not exactly the next Jane Austin, so your not starting with the best source material in the first place. This rant has gone on a little longer than expected but I have only one more thing to say about it, you could actually play a drinking game to this book it is soooooo unbelievably repetitive, the phrase 'my inner godess' is used 65 times. 65 FRICKIN TIMES! So EL James, to me you are the Rebecca Black of the book world and have hopefully had your five minutes of fame, also can I please have my £2.69 back to buy a decent book?

Anyone else hating or loving this book?

Loving Lilac


After seeing several photographs of Kelly Osbourne with lilac hair it was love. I think the colour looks great and it seems to be gaining a lot of popularity, not one to let a bandwagon go by I decided to bite the bullet and try it myself.
As you can see my hair turned out a lot brighter but after a few washes it faded a lot and toned down to a nice cool hint of Lilac. In hindsight I should of bought a stronger purple dye and mixed it with conditioner to get the shade that I wanted. I used directions hair dye in lilac, applied it to damp hair and left it on for half an hour. I didn't touch it up or top the colour up due to the fact I start back work tomorrow and the colour isn't appropriate. After 10 days it had faded out to a slight grey tone with some  purple still showing through at the front. I really loved it and think I may redo it during the summer holidays. Who says blonde's have more fun?
