From Sam, with Love.

Ahhh.
So, it was Valentines day t'other day. Hope everyone got a card or gift, or roses. If not - it IS a stupid holiday, you're right. You ARE better off without someone..... ok.. OK! Fine. Here are some roses just for you:

Back to business.

I was supposed to blog something last week, but just didn't have the energy or time. I had lots of social things to do (like watch the social network again), and went out for dinner about... oh, 3 times last week... and had a take away (yummy Indian food). But still managed to lose 2 1/2 lbs! I have no clue how as the week before I only lost 1 1/2 lbs and all I ate was fruit and veg. So it seems eating out is actually better for me. Not so good for my bank account though! Sadly.

I am trying to remember what I have actually been up to of late, but can't. I went to the cinema, of course! I saw The Fighter, which was good but not near enough actual fighting in it. But it had some great actors in it, and had a nice story buried in there amongst the drug addict story line.

I also read my little brain off last week. In the past week, maybe just over a week, I have finished 3 books. I am starting a new one today. In such a reading mood its just silly. Today I will be reading the last installment of the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Great books about a futuristic world where children have to compete in a barbaric survival game - the last one standing wins and gets to go home. It's really great though and the characters are so vivid - my boyfriend tells me it sounds like The Running Man, starring Arnie - I should really check that out.

In other news, I am going to see True Grit tonight with some pals and in further news my friend who has been in China for the past 8 or 9 months is coming home at the weekend. So lots to prepare for that! I am trying to fit my Uni work into this hectic week, but it's not working too well. So I will have to try to do some 'light' reading in between everything else. On a plus note, I hit my last assignment outta the park and got a really good grade, so that's perked me up some!

I think that's all from me! No pictures of the week or anything as I can't be bothered!

Be back soon!

Sam

ps. Lost 11lb's in total. Almost at 1 stone!

Writing up a storm

Boo!
Hi guys! Well, its November. I love how when the month changes everyone feels they have to comment on it. You should see the amount of people on Twitter who have exclaimed their disbelief that the month has changed... again! But, you know, it is alarming, the rate the year is going! November! What next? December? Egad!
Halloween was a big part of my weekend - as per usual! I threw a Halloween party with my boyfriend and it went pretty damn good. A little quieter than last year, as a couple of my friends couldn't make it, and others had to leave early so I had no friends there (well, none I had invited) by about 11! But other than that it was a great night. My and my boyfriend did that thing most couples do, but shouldn't - which is is coordinate our outfits! We went as Jedward (picture will follow, my boyfriend has the best one on his camera!). Overall it went very well. Everyone dressed up - best costume of the night was a friend who dressed as Wikus from District 9... it was a genius outfit!
On Sunday I went to see The Social Network (click HERE for my thoughts on it), which was brill! I really loved it!
And Monday and today I have been click-click-clicking away, working on my assignment for university. It was more difficult than I originally thought, but only because of the l e n g t h. If I had been allowed a word limit of say, 2000 words, I would have been set, but I had to stick to 1000 - with only 500 words per part (there were 2 parts... wow, I'm good at maths). It was tough but I did it. I'm proud of myself but the knowledge that it was only the 1st assignment is daunting... oh well! I actually enjoy writing, its just hard to stick to length limits!
I have nothing more to say... wow. Its been a long day!
Take it easy!
Sam
