The One About Summer

I am SOO excited about summer! It's only just hit me that I have a week's holiday, then it's June! Once June is here, it's only a while before July, then HOLIDAYS!!

I'm mega mega excited because first we're off on a family holiday which should be great :) Then its my Uncle's wedding! After that, we're visiting :) :)

Should be so much fun as I'm seeing people that I only see once a year, so it'll be great to see them!

So excited.... :) Can't wait to see people and go places xx

The One About Chocolate

Chocolate is just the best thing ever. Seriously- it can make you feel better when you're upset, and can mend a broken heart (apparantly).
I was thinking, and it's the only food that I get a craving for when I know EXACTLY what I want to eat. I mean, I can really want something sweet, but then it doesn't matter what sweet stuff I eat, my craving is gone. But with chocolate, if I want some, I know EXACTLY what I want, whether it's dark, mint or normal.
Does anybody else get cravings for a certain type of chocolate? Like when you would do ANYTHING for a bar of ....?

I think that my absolute favourite chocolate has to be dark mint- like After Eights but a bar. Not to keen on white chocolate personally- its not chocolatey enough for me (0% cocoa lol). I also LOVE minstrels (by Galaxy)- they have a hidden meaning for me and my friend, but they're so good- dark chocolate, but they've got a hard shell so they're easy to eat. Perfect! xx

The One About OCD

I HAVE CURED MY OCD(well a bit of it anyway)!!!! See, what I USED to do is counting my steps up to 8, and then start again. I had all sorts of rules, like my left leg was odd numbers and my right leg was even.

But then, when I was walking across this field to go and do my paper round, I was listening to a song (that I don't really like that much: Idaho by Nerina Pallot), then I suddenly realised that I had been listening to the song so carefully that I wasn't counting my steps! This might seem like I'd just forgotten, but I've been doing it for about a year, and I can be having a conversation with someone, thinking about what we're talking about and STILL counting my steps.

So then, for the hour and a half that I was doing my paper round, I wasn't counting my steps AT ALL. I even stopped my 'surface changing thing'- where if I was walking on some grass and about to walk onto some concrete, for example, I'd have to have my last step on my right leg, and my first step on my left leg, and it'd have to be on a 2, 4 or 8 step. Strange, I know.

BUT I HAVE STOPPED DOING THAT!! Well, I hope it'll last lol. But it was so relaxing to just listen to my music, not having to practice counting up to 8.

I also have some other OCD-ish stuff but if I type it, I think that I would be classified as unstable/unhinged lol. xx
