So follow, follow, follow, and don't forget to leave your links so I can follow you all right back!

I am BACK! Hi, faithful followers....sorry for that unexplained weeks long hiatus... I had my university exams, which equates with THE WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE. Honestly.

SO quick updates on my life: 1) I GOT A LAPTOP!!! Woo hoo!! It was a birthday gift from my grandma and my parents...a gorgeous silver Toshiba I stare at all the time. It's awesome. No more fighting with my brother over who gets the computer. 2) Painted the house. Blue and green for the bedrooms, very very bright. Had a lot of fun and ruined about four of my good dresses. 3) Exams. Hate them, but love crashing through them with friends. My friends rule the universe. 4) Read a lot of books on my phone during the exams. Warm Bodies by I...
