I had my first day at work today, and it went really well. I will be living in a beautiful city for the next three years of my life. There is always time to watch an episode of 'How I Met Your Mother'. It's been nearly a month since I got my nose pierced, and now I can't imagine life without it. I've started dressing 'ironically'. I'm happy.
I also love my new camera, it makes me look nice. x
I'm still clearing.

Today I finished packing away exactly one half of my bedroom into a box. Now most of you will know I'm a sentimental fool, so imagine how I feel when I go through all the memories and photos in my room.
So I was sitting on the floor, surrounded by boxes full of old birthday cards and photos in frames, when I discovered a little black flower pot made of card that once held a dozen little red roses on Valentine's Day 2010. I remembered walking into the restaurant with my boyfriend, seeing our pretty table set up and this pot of roses waiting for me.
And that's when I started crying. They were sad, regretful tears. But then I found something else; something I've actually been trying to find for ages. It's a note that my best friend wrote me in AS French class last year, when I was upset with him. And just like that, they were happy tears. x
I realised something this morning.

I have so many reasons to be happy. I'm eighteen, I can drive, I've been accepted into my first-choice university, I have some really great friends, I've just started a wonderful part-time job (which I can leave when I go to uni, and come back to when I'm home for holidays), I have so much free time at the moment, I have money, I'm lucky, I'm reasonably healthy... And I could carry on this list for a long time.
Sometimes I just need to take a step back and appreciate what I have, instead of letting the silly little things (and silly little people) bother me. x

20 August 2011 • about me
Hi, my name's Gracie. I have a full wardrobe but nothing to wear, I want to write a book one day, I can rap along to every Nicki Minaj song, I cried on my birthday, I haven't had sex in a very long time, I'd rather stay in than go out, I have six piercings, I hate being drunk, despite everything I am still an optimist, I love Zumba, Twitter has got me into a lot of trouble with various different people, my favourite TV show is Gilmore Girls, I am always "the other girl", I'm obsessed with slipper socks, and nobody can change me.
I do one of these posts every month. x

So I went out last night with my two best girls. We promised ourselves a crazy night clubbing and drinking and generally being idiots... But we just ended up having a chilled out evening sitting in the pub sharing pitchers of Sex On The Beach and having a laugh. Then, after a horrifying taxi ride home, we snuggled down in our pyjamas and watched Jeremy Kyle with pizza and Pringles.
I think the night turned out even better than we'd planned.
Reasons to be cheerful. 1, 2, 3.

I'm finally eighteen. I had three birthday parties: one at home, a surprise pyjama party thrown by my amazing Australian family (I've always wanted a surprise party!), and a nice evening out on my actual birthday (drinks and dinner with the family). I have a few more parties coming (a night out with my cousins and a "posse" on Saturday, not to mention billions of nights out when I get home - to catch up on a year of missing out!).
A certain guy has promised to take me on a date when I get home ("cinema, dinner, night out, the lot!"). Just the idea of a date makes me jump up and down with joy.
I also have quite a cheeky friendship going on with a certain guy, and I'm loving every minute of it.
I got my nose pierced; something I've wanted since I was five years old. An upside of not having a boyfriend: freedom to do whatever I want with my body.

Just writing all these things down is making me feel better already.
