Addicted

I guess if I am being honest with myself, I must admit that I have a new addiction.

Earlier in the year I noticed that I was buying pretty make up colours on a regular basis and for now real need, which had lead me to owning over 85 eye shadows and 35 lipsticks.

After calculating how much that little addiction there must have set me back, the shock made me create a deal with myself that I wasn't allowed to buy any more make up until 2013. This has been hard but alas, I managed to kick this addiction with success.

Nonetheless, I have now managed to replace this addiction with a new one. Without realising it for a while, I have been obsessing over Xmas decorations! It's all I talk about and now I can't go into a shop without looking at their decorations for sale.

I have a vision in my head, which is focused on my plans for 2013 which involve ensuring I am in my own place with my first ever Christmas Tree that I will get to decorate myself and I have loads of ideas on how I want this to be decorated.

I am not your usual girl and I am certainly not a perfectionist. The word that often gets used to describe me to people is 'quirky' and I think that is a fair reflection of me. In fact, on the subject of perfection, it is actually something I am against. I am not a perfect person but I do relish in knowing that I am unique and that you will never meet a person like me. Don't get me wrong, I am not something who laughs in the face of convention and walks around with blue hair, but I like to be discreetly unconventional so that only the true people who know me best, know the real me.

And so, this theme has followed with my new obsession for my Christmas Tree for 2013. Neat, colour coordinated baubles and lights are so not my thing. I find it all rather boring and unimaginative. My tree is going to reflect me - it's going to be a little crazy, with lots of colour, shapes and textures which all comes together to make something unique but beautiful.

I have started buying these decorations, with lots of mismatched and colourful random decorations that are bespoke and different and will be buying even more in the January sales. Sometimes I just get the individual decorations out to look at as I am so excited about Christmas 2013 in my own place. It's a nice little thought.

And when my obsession with buying Xmas decorations is complete.....who knows what I will move onto next.

Gabrielle Wasn't Lying

We know that 90's song, dreams, according to Gabrielle, can come true.

She wasn't lying. They really do, and I don't know what to do about it.

Basically, a little while back, I had a random dream about a stranger. The dream itself wasn't unusual or random by proxy, but it was the fact that I only normally dream about people that I know that made me feel weird as well as the fact that the dream had come with a health warning.

So, the next day, when I was shopping with friends, I told them about this dream....and then 2 weeks later, I actually meet this stranger in real life and the dream actually played out.

I am a little creeped out. The person doesn't know about this dream. Thankfully I had told my friends about it so that if I do decide to tell the person, I have proof I haven't made this up.

Nonetheless, at the end of the dream, this stranger waits ages for a bus, which turns up in the pitch dark with its illuminous lights on, and they climb on, going up to the top deck and leaves. Normal? No. Although nothing happened on the bus, it was shrouded in bad vibes.

Since everything has happened from the dream, I feel that I need to tell this stranger about the bus. I have been approached by a random person before as they had received a 'feeling' that they needed to tell me about from a dream and they freaked me out by telling me things that they wouldnt have known. So, I gather this person would find me telling them about the dream also freaky. And, what on earth would I say? Oh, by the way, don't get on buses anymore - I dreamed about you getting on one where nothing went wrong but it made me feel freaked out?!

What happens if I don't say anything and something happens to the stranger on the bus? I have not adhered to my public service from the 'vision' I had to warn the person. I was even talking about fires randomly the other day at work, and as soon as I had finished saying 'So, what would be the first thing you would save from a fire?', the fire alarm went off in the office and we were evacuated for a real fire incident. I need to start having visions about winning the lottery. Anyway, I don't think I am going to get the opportunity to tell the person now. I hope they are ok.
