haha hey hey heeeyyy.. you've absolutely nothing to be sorry about ;) thank you, this was such a nice comment to receive!! have a lovely day xx

I was actually going to give some cryptic and totally cool answer to this (had it planned out and everything: "To be honest I'd like to know how, too") but actually I do have some advice for this so I figured I'd share my little nuggets of experience and wisdom.. Wahaha

1. I don't think I can speak for everybody, but distraction is always a great temporary anesthetic - nothing like forgetting someone from your past by having a new someone in your future. Ba da bing ba da boom.

2. Contrary to popular belief alcohol definitely DOES NOT help you get over someone, it will make you excessively emotionally and there is a 500000% chance you will become that awkward crying person in the club!!! "THE CRYING GIRL" (this often doesn't seem to apply to guys because they just get waayyy too shitfaced to even be awake, let alone cry, so let us leave it as "girl"). Nobody likes them, and you will make things awkward for your lovely friends..

3. What else? Delete them from your life, get rid of their number and the photos in your phone, don't let yourself think of their smile or their hands or their laugh and definitely, definitely, definitely get rid of them on facebook. The first guy I ever liked took me a year to get over, and daayyumm that was before the days of facebook where creepy psychotic profile stalking every 5 minutes and clicking on their newly added friends and obsessing over their foursquare check-ins and reading all their wall-to-wall conversations were possible (how did any of us survive?!). No no noooooo. Get rid of them.

4. Cry it all out of your system, until there are no tears left for that person (but not in front of people.. that is awkward). This usually makes you feel fkin empty inside so maybe have some marshmallow rice crispie treat thingyis nearby to make you feel a little bit better. Do not watch One Tree Hill! Do not watch The Notebook! Watch Saw or Hostel or something, anything that will make you feel slightly relieved that all you're doing is trying to get over someone, and not sawing your foot off so you can escape from crazy people..

5. Write about it? I don't know, this always helped me whenever I was sad. This is pretty subjective though, if you don't enjoy reading and writing then this will possibly be more painful than therapeutic..

6. Let yourself let go of them. Don't tell yourself "I will never find anyone as good as this person" (I ALWAYS DO THIS.. ALWAYS), or "No one will ever understand me or love me as much". Don't let yourself cling to the good memories as if they are the only good memories you will ever have. You will find somebody better, you will find somebody kinder, you will find somebody more adventurous, you will find somebody more interesting, you will find somebody more gangsta, you will find somebody more charming, you will find somebody who will love you more. Believe that life will go on without this person, make yourself believe that life without this person can and will be better than before. Remind yourself that we are all selfish creatures - if we wanted something, we would find a way to have it. There is really no exception to this. If this person wanted you, they would have found a way to keep you. Let yourself let go of them.

7. Most people are easier to get over than others. A few people are near impossible to get over. We all have that one special person who changes our lives for the better and are so effortlessly easy to be around and who make you so, so happy you can't think of the word "happiness" without associating it with them and who make it impossible to live without them, and sometimes these are people you just can't get over, no matter how hard you try. If that's the case then it really sucks for you but hopefully one day the reality that they don't want you anymore and the fact that they left you and the fact that they just don't really care about you will make you so damn angry that you don't really give a shit anymore (well you do, secretly, but no one has to know).

I AM SO SORRY THAT this came out like some frikkin essay, it is seriously waaaayyy longer than I expected it to be. I'm nursing quite a lot of rugby-related injuries so am staying in on this fine Saturday night, and I'm feeling pretty chatty but it would take too much effort to get out of bed and get my phone and call somebody (Harjeet), so yeah.. I've just been rambling. I really, really, really hope you'll find at least a small bit of the above advice useful, and if not, then remember that time heals all wounds.. Cliched as fuck, I noes I noes, but it's true. Things will get better <3

When I was younger they'd say all the usual parental stuff (don't come home too late, where are you, who are you going out with, are you coming home for dinner, is that another pair of shoes you bought oh my god etc) but recently it's always about...

*carrying car keys* ARE YOU DRIVING?!?!??!
*still carrying car keys* IF YOU'RE DRIVING YOU BETTER NOT BE DRINKING

This is a daily occurrence when I'm back home... Sighhhicles

Those little hair things on the outside of cells.. They were always so much fun to draw!!!! (straight lines.. summarizes it all) Can't remember what they were called though.. So am just going to call them the little hair things.

it's complicated

yayayaahhh. http://annamagic.tumblr.com

half of it was spent in singapore, half of it in edinburgh
as a whole, it was pretty great :)

i never really know how to answer these questions haha.. erm i use bare minerals foundation (this is great if you hate liquid foundations that feel really "heavy".. i used to be devoted to liquid foundation for covering up spots and bad skin tone etc but now this is all i use!), blusher from mac, drugstore mascara (i LOVE collection 2000's "big fake", it's amazing), bourjois bronzer and highlighter from topshop (harjeet.. now you know where to go ahahaha. skankypants)

some unnecessary details in there.. oops

HAHAHA!! Good times.. Remember that night when Lagoon was too crowded so we killed time by driving to Parkway, and I made you go buy koi but you took like 2837479292 years so I had to drive in and out of the carpark like.. 15 times.. HAHAHAHAHA. I miss you so much skankypants!!! I can't wait to be back in April and finally be reunited with my beeaautiful bubziebeeeeeeeee ♥♡♥♡♥

It was fantastic, thank you :)
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year's too xx

probably not, my mum never restricted me so i don't think i'd restrict my own child.. ideally i'd like them to be able to make their own decisions and then face the wrath and consequences of those said stupid decisions, maybe suffer for a while, learn from their mistakes and then be happy forever! ^____^

THE SECRET CIRCLE!!!

happy endings is also nice, especially if you want to watch something light-hearted and very funny that does not revolve around high school

shopping!

We Are Your Kids Friends (Dino Roc & DJ CJ Remix)
by Justice vs Simian ft MGMT

it's a great song for when you're in the gym and struggling to complete 30 mins at easy level on the cross-trainer.. hahaha

what do you mean exactly? i'd say it's pretty good.. haha to be honest i always tell people it's complicated but really, at the end of the day i can't deny that we act like we are in a proper relationship and i love him more than i've ever loved anybody :) i guess the complicated part arises from our agreement that while i'm here and he's all the way over there, we will let ourselves be open to the idea of dating / becoming involved with other people if they come along. hard to explain, but it seems to be working very well

haha yeah.. a long time ago

that i don't let myself cry in front of people?? (most of the time anyway ahaha). i guess what i really respect about myself is the desire to never let someone else make me look like a fool..

hahaha!! tomorrow i promise :) i'm too fkin sleepy and jetlagged and depressed at being back here to contemplate anything other than suicidal thoughts as i lie in my bed

yeah man.. nothing like stuffing your face!!! (i.e. me and liz at lemongrass when we order the medium sized family tom yum instead of the small two-people one, mmm)
but then it makes me feel gross..

chicken fingers at tgi friday's ;)
