According to medicinenet.com, Influenza symptoms include fever, respiratory problems, headache, muscle ache, fatigue, and sometimes nausea. Check, check, check, sextuple check! So, while I was wary of saying it, because of often giving out about people throwing the term around willy-nilly, I think, on my fifth day in bed, I’m gonna do it. I have the FLU!
I feel like doing a clothes-related post. I feel like I haven’t shopped properly in ages, and there are some things I am really wanting. REAAALLLY wanting. I’ve been salivating over netaporter.com, which has a sale and is amazingly good value, almost the same type of prices for some things as on Asos, which I had a look at. Wasn’t that impressed, however. But the Topshop website has got me aching to go on a shopping spree. Lately I’ve been really stressed and tired all the time, leaving me really un-bothered about dressing interestingly. I also feel much more self concious about my body than I have in a long time. It’s like the more unhappy I get with myself, the unhappier I get, the more I eat, the fatter I get, the more I eat… etc etc. So I’ve been dressing in a really boring way, just jeans and t shirts mostly, and loadsa black.
BUT NOW! I’ve gotten this surge of motivation to go buy, and I feel for the first time in ages that not only do I feel like I need to get new stuff, but I know what I want, too. It’s fantastic, but also painful, because I’m not sure the next time I’ll get to go shopping.
Anyway, I think I’ll do up a few little outfits of things I WAAAAAANNNNNNTTTTTTT….
All from Topshop, bar the t-shirt, which is American Apparel. I really want these jeans, maybe. I need to try the on, though, because I have made an image in my head of how they’d look on: all slouchy and ending a bit above my ankles. Maybe if I bought them too big… And I’m falling for fringe, too… I want a pair of fringed moccasins, what’s gotten into me? It’s so un-me. But with a pair of super skinny jeans they could look pretty hot…
Okay, that’s all I have time for, so I’ll get some more pictures up of things I want.
For my own benefit, of course, since hardly anyone reads this.

I don’t know where it’s coming from but recently any sort of authority in my life is seriously pissing me off and I feel like doing things I shouldn’t.
I think about things, though, so most likely I won’t do anything at all.
What is UP?
Welllll…
It is January, and we’re just back to school (ugh). My main news is that I was in the Alps just after Christmas for a week, so I feel like talking about that. I seem to only post anytime I’ve been abroad, which is kinda silly because I’m not abroad that often. But maybe that’s the reason why it works, because I rarely have the energy to blog so whenever I get it together it just happens to be every six months or so, which has ended up coinciding with my travels!
So, the Alps! It was a very quick decision to go. See, I have a Parisien aunt-in-law who has a family chalet in a little town in the Alps called Les Contamines and she has been telling me to come with her for years and years, but I never took her up on her offer. But about three weeks before Christmas I thought that it would be a great idea to go and stay there to try out a bit of skiing and to practice my French. So I quickly okayed it with her and booked flights for the day after St. Stephen’s day. On arrival I was TOTALLY breathless with amazement. Imagine a set for The Sound of Music painted by Michelangelo, with pointy snowy mountains and clear blue skies. That was the view everywhere I looked. It felt like someone had rolled down a canvas all around the ski resort for my entertainment. (Remind you of anyone, Grace?)
I have started to listen to Carla Bruni a lot! (This happened in my preparation for France, to get into the moooooood..!) But I love love lovvvee her now. Or some songs. And I just found out she doesn’t write them which is a bit of a let down. Oh well, she has a pretty voice…
Let me leave you with a song and pictures to enjoy (:
