I'm Back! My nerdy June

Hellooo!! As promised, I am back from my month off with the boyfie and making a blog!! This shall be blog on what I got up to on my June!! It was a nerdy June, to say the least! WARNING: This blog is photo heavy!!

My boyfriend didn't come up till the fourth, so I amused myself by starting a drawing, since I haven't been drawing much recently;

This was how far I got before my boyfriend came up and distracted me from everything :P He is so naughty!!
To celebrate him coming up, I made a big cake (as I love baking for everybody and anybody!!) and tried something I have never done before, which is a triple layer cake! It was Victoria sponge top and bottom, with red velvet cake in the middle! And lots of jam and butter cream between layers, and covering in icing!
I tell ya, this cake was sooooo good!! NOM NOM NOM!! We managed all of it!

It was still exam season and I had to go to my exams a couple of times, leaving my boyfie behind :( At one point, on my bus on the way home, part of it fell off!
Luckily, it wasn't a vital part and the bus could carry on and take us home till the last stop, then turn his light off. He did advise we didn't stand under it though!!

I did paint my nails during June, using my new cracked polish and tried a gradient look underneath it;
There is light blue on the bottom and then fades into metalic aqua, but you can't really see it in the photo!! I did enjoy looking at my nails all the time when they were like this though, it is very fun!! Sad times for my nail polish collection though, my only Opi nail varnish broke, it was my favourite to put on my toes!

After just under two weeks at mine, and all my exams out the way, me and the boyfie made our way up to Hull, where he lives. It was a miserable day, though, of travel, luckily we were comfy inside all the time! Unfortunately, Nate gets a little coach sick, so next time we are sitting at the front to see if that helps!!
Good bye Portsmouth, hello Hull!

This is an impromptu photo that the boyfie took, as you can tell, when we were in the bus station at Hull at some point, not the day we arrived, but another day! Thats my why are you taking a photo of me smile!!

As some of you might know, I only have a little notebook laptop, its teeny tiny and fitted on Nate's desk so when he had to do something on his PC I could just sit next to him and go on facebook for a bit! And twitter, and occasionally blogger. He was putting Win7 on my notebook for me, so now I am up to date!
My little notebook next to his 24 inch monitor and speakers. At home, I have the same monitor to hook up my laptop too (if I didn't, I would go mad with that tiny screen all the time!) This was before Win7 when I was originally on Ubuntu, because something went wrong with my Windows XP hard drive. Nate worked out that it wasn't my laptops hard drive connector, luckily, and installed a new SSD so I could have Win7!! Thats just part of the nerdyness, most of our time was spent playing computer games (Portal 2, Amnesia, Deus Ex, The Witcher 2) and watching movies!!
Here is a random photo of his little sister and you see that scary looking flesh blob in the background? Thats the best photo I got of my boyfriends front xD Hes photo shy! He looks kinda creepy in this, like an Amnesia monster or something!!
I did remember to take ONE outfit photo (aren't I great at remembering things, one in a month :P)
Love this skirt, its so comfy!! £1 from a Primark sale!! Just slip it on and slip it off, stretch and comfy and doesn't make me look that fat!! Bonus! The only problem with it, is that it rides up while you walk! This is mainly the fault of my big bum though!
Hello bloggers!! Yes, those nails are very chipped!! I didn't have any nail varnish remover and it was driving me crazy having badly chipped nails, but I didn't want to pick them off, cause thats bad for my nails!

That drawing I did, I did eventually finish it, due to the fact of my boyfriend fiddling with my laptop for ages putting Win7 on it and stuff, so I was bored and decided to finish colouring it! Boredom turned into productive creativity, whoop!
Its one of my characters called Kyo, he is a fire Angel and a Summoner of fire creatures. More about him will be on my nerd blog shortly!!
I also managed to start a new picture, including starting to colour it! Heres how far I have got at the moment;
You can see the full drawing here

Close up of the colouring I have started
I am trying to improve on my colouring and drawing!! One day I will be awesome at it *false hopes*
In the last week, Nate ordered some under bed storage, as underneath his bed was a mess! Men are so unorganised!! I sorted his clothes for him, made him chuck out a lot of stuff and seperated what was left into different boxes so it was easier for him! I wonder if he will keep it that neat though...t-shirts in one box, trousers in another sort of thing!
Good bye under bed storage, I hope you stay as organised as I left you!!
We also ordered a massive 16inch pizza one night, GOOD GOD IT WAS GOOD. Not excellent, but still amazing!!
I couldn't capture the hugeness of it, but it was big, I have never had a 16incher before!! What let it down, was the fact they had put kidney beans on it, even though it didn't say kidney beans, and that made it weird :/ Apart from that though, it was one good pizza!

At the end of the night, on the second to last night, Nate was sorting some songs out for me and I got bored, so decided to put a bow in his hair. I put it to the side at first and he took it out almost immediately. But then I sneakily put it on the back of his head and he didn't realise for ages till I told him! Didn't even notice me taking a photo! BWUAHAHAHAAHAHA
Isn't he a pretty boy :')

I came home on Saturday, and tonight I went to a pub quiz with my dad. It was a generally chill day today, just relaxing after struggling through the hell that was London's underground. My arms and shoulders still hurt from the massive detour I had to take due to the Victoria line being closed!! And people in London are very rude :( Always shoving past me even though I had two heavy bags and a big suitcase!

So thats my (very long) update!! I hope you feel you are all up to date and will forgive me for not being online! I am back nooow!
See you tomorrow! Now time to answer my comments *flexes fingers*

STAY BEAUTIFUL

A Day at the Museum!


My OOTD

Heya girls!! How is it going? Yesterday was such a fun day for me, me and my friend Lizzie went to Howarts :D

ONLY JOKING!! Haha I wish!! We went to the City Museum, but the top does look abit like the spires of a castle or something haha! We are nerds and we love things like Sherlocke Holmes, Aliens, Sci-Fi ect!! When we heard there was a exhibition going on at our museum, we were there!!
The museum is convientantly on Museum Road :D
City Museum is one of those big old timey buildings that was probably a old Navy building once upon a time.
Just part of it
The exhibition we had come to see was the Alien Invasion exhibit and also to pop into the Arthur Conan Doyle exhibit too!!
OOoooOOOOoooo
We are big nerds like this and were totally excited to see everything. I guarentee there was much squealing when we were in there!! It started when we first caught sight of the entrance and then practically ran for it cause look what was there!!
EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE
Tom Baker's outfit!! I want that scarf!!
As you can see behind Tom Baker there are posters of Sci-Fi films, which are posted all over the place in the exhibit, usually behind their associated movie, though these ones were just showing what was on show!
When we went through the door, the first thing we saw was this handsome fellow:
rawr rawr rawr
Is there something behind me?
The exhibits were so much fun we totally spazzed out over so many things!! I made new friends!!
I'm not pointing at anything...
He got a bit legless last night at the pub. And bodyless.
The place was filled wih freaky arse aliens all over the place and the lighting made it creepier. As you can see its quite dark!! It made it hard to take good photos! We later found out that photography was forbidden haha opps!!
My my thats a big gun ;D
I used to go to school with this guy, I am sure of it xD
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Ones an alien and the other is a statue of an alien 8D
Face hugger D: RUUUUN
There was also Star Wars stuff too which we totally had little nerdgasms over!! God I love Star Wars!!
Ewok

One of the things I spaze out over was the suit from Lost In Space, a film I watched over and over and over again!!! My poor Dad, I would usually watch it with him cause he liked it too, but I don't think he liked it as much as me haha!! I just loved that film as a kid but I haven't watched it recently as I don't have it on DVD :(
The suit that is exactly like the one Matt LeBlanc wore!!
Once we had spazzed our way through this exhibition, we went to go see the Arthur Conan Doyle exhibition, but we didn't really take pictures as we thought we probably weren't allowed here either!! But I took a sneaky couple:
Sherlock Holmes' chair and violin xD
Conan Doyle tombstones (him and his wife I believe)
After we walked through the Conan Doyle exhibition, trying to work out the coded message which we gave up on, we decided to go down town for window shopping :D YAY FOR WINDOW SHOPPING. We went into Debenhams, and went straight to the cafe cause Lizzie was hungry!! She bought me a cupcake cause she loves me :D My first time trying a Red Velvet cupcake and it was YUMMY!!
My mid afternoon snack
nommy!!
Lizzie had a delicious looking tuna and cucumber roll!!
Once we had our fill, we decided to wander around the shop (and spent about an hour in there!!) and I found my most favourite shelf in the entire store!!
I WANT ALL THE PLUSHIES
There was also Miffy too, which I also think is so cute!!
Only two Miffy teddies though :(
We tried on a bunch of clothes which I will do a seperate post about later, when I am not getting ready for college (like I am while writing this xD ) But here is a snap just before we left the shop of me pretending to be a LAAAYYDDDEEE
LOL I actually do want all these things
After we left, we just wandered around after that and I spotted this pretty cake!!
OOOOooo Princess Castle Cake!!
I didn't take anything else after that!! We went home quite soon after and  me and my dad had delicious fish and chips for dinner, well I had scampi, then I came home and sorted out my stuff for today!!

So have a nice Friday bloggers!!

Mail always makes me smile!!

YAY A PACKAGE
Things in the post that are from other people and not companys always make me smile and leave me with a big bubbly feelings!! I was so happy to see this on the floor by the letter box, I scooped it up straight away!! Then I run upstairs to open it haha I am such a geek!!

Tada!!
It was from CherryChan108 (link to her lovely blog)!! I had won her competition to win a Maybelline Mono Eyeshadow in 'I Love Lilac'!! She sent me a lovely note and the package was wrapped up so cutely!!
Cute Sakura stickers!!
Snoopy tape!!
I was so happy to recieve this I was all bubbly and I sort of squealed a bit in happyness when I opened the little pink package to find goodies (I love samples haha I always tear them out of magazines and hoard them, even if my mum bought the magazine!!)
YAY FOR GOODIES
We have from the left: Maybelline Mono Eyeshadow, Shu Uemura Skin Purifier, Vichy One Step Cleanser 3in1, VOV Daily Fresh Mini Pack Lifting Berry & Berry pack and Jergens naturals Soothe Daily Moisturiser!! So many goodies I can't wait to try them out!! Might do little reviews on them when I do!! The Jergens and the VOV Berry & Berry pack I will be using Sunday as my usual Once a week Pamper, and the other two I plan to use soon!!
Of course, I used the eyeshadow straight away (this was pre getting a shower ect so I didn't yet have make up on) And I created this lovely purply lilac eye!! This colour is so shimmery and pretty, I just added a bit of a darker shade on the corners and voila!! Make up for the day!
Pretty in purple
Scary blue eyes xD
I felt very girly and feminine sporting this eye and I loved it (you can probably tell from the girly and feminine clothes I wear, I am that type of person haha!) Talking of clothes, here is the outfit the make up was paired with:
Dress from George, Cardy from Select, sparkly pink belt, blue woolen tights
Its getting cold here in Hull, it was only about 15 today which is colder than my perfect tempurature (which is about 18, 19 C ) so I whacked on some wooly tights!! The weather is constantly wet cloudy and dark with rare patches of sun!!
But I was happy to see the plant I made the boyfie buy in the Garden Center on Sunday is actually a flowering plant!! And its PURPLE I LOVE PURPLE
So pretty!
It definately didn't have flowers on it when we bought it, we didn't even think it was a flowering plant! Its technically my plant (cause I said so) and she was kinda dry so I watered her :D I hope she survives!!
Me and my boyfie had a bit of a fall out yesterday so I went for a bikeride round the block and ended up falling off my bike!! I'm not very good with corners, so I went to take one and ended up crashing into the pavement and falling off onto my left side!! I cut my foot and scraped my leg up but nothing too horrific, a nice man came over to make sure I was alright, and then I hopped back on the bike, and with some advice to stay on the pavements, cycled home and into cuddles with my boyfie cause he felt sorry for me cause I fell off my bike and he missed me for all of the half an hour I was cycling haha! Hes so sweet, its just we are both very stubborn people sometimes (I am a Taurus he is a Cancer so probably doesn't help!) After that we were back to normal and he cleared out his drawers while I watched him and managed to nab his tripod that he never uses! Its just a little one so I can put my camera on tables and stuff and it not wobble!
The 'I'm Testing my Tripod' picture! Silly face totally needed!!
We finished the day by drinking hot chocolate and snuggling in front of the PC (like the lovely nerdy geeky people we are) and watching Tales From  The Crypt (god I love that show! So cheesy!) and then going to bed!! Ended up being a good day in the end!! Cherrychan cheered me up in the morning with her package, miss Lilac (my plant thats her name now haha) cheered me up, my mum cheered me up by exchanging emails and then, in the end, my boyfie cheered me up!! Not that I was emo or anything, I just been stuck indoors for a few days with crappy weather so I get a little down sometimes!! But thats enough rambling for now.

OH YEAH if you haven't checked it out yet, I have a new blog for nerdy things!: Kitty's Nerd Stuff ahoy!
Check it out if you have a little nerd in you (I don't recommend eating them, they are a bit stringy)
