The Saga Of The Blank Wall

Hmmm, well, today (well tonight-no wait, today, it's 12am) I think I will write about about a nice mundane topic for a contrast (or juxtaposition for my English teacher). And it is, wait for it...my wall!

Yes, I know walls are generally not that interesting but that is in fact my point - my wall is the most boring wall imaginable. Seriously, it does not even have the stark boldness of being white, it is in fact an 'offwhite', which basically is a surburban technique of putting a tinge of yellow into white paint to make a room appear less 'cold' but really it just makes it feel like I am living in an icecream container that has jaundice.

Seeing as I have now had this room since I was eight (with the exception of a short stint in a bigger room when I was 12 and the room that I share with my sister at my dad's house - it's pink and purple) it would be reasonable for one to ask why I have not put something on the wall or (gasp) paint it! Well, the reason is, is that this is not actually my house (it's my stepdad's) but in the past week a huge revolution has occured which has resulted in massive reforms and the celebrating of Jelly Bean Girls the world over - I am allowed to use bluetack!

Enter the artistic Julia and a very rainy day stuck inside and voia! - two beautiful, highly accomplished paintings to embellish my walls, one entitled 'Fairyland', the other I have decided can be named nothing else but 'Random'. So the upshot of this is that my wall is now looking alot more exciting than before, but if you have any suggestions for more cool stuff to put up do tell my, there's plenty of space still to be decorated.

Au revoir mes amis, vous devriez vraiment apprendre le francais!

I think that they're gorgeous. Kudos to Ju :D

I particularly like how in both of these lovely photographs your bed is artisticly scrumpled [aka unmade].

It just adds a whole nother dimension to it..
