Long time no see..

Missed me?

I have again been absolutely useless at updating this blog.. it's been a while! In my defence, I have been up to quite a lot.. including:
  • Going to Venice Film Festival
  • Properly learnt to ride a bike (in Venice.. oh yes!)
  • Turning 26
  • Going on various online dates (again, I know.. nothing good to report, other than I have caused no 'spark' with anyone yet)
  • Going to the Dark Knight Rises premiere
  • Going to see Ed Sheeran live (don't judge, he was really good)
  • Seeing some pretty cool exhibits at museums in London
  • Seeing Shakespeare at the Globe again (see Number 26)
Following my last book post, I've also read the following books:
  • 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy - Badly written porn, basically.
  • The Hunger Games Trilogy - Actually brilliant, would highly recommend.
  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower - As above, such a good book.
  • One Day - Ruined by people telling me how it was going to end, but otherwise brilliant.
I have also started reading 'Money' by Martin Amos, and have ticked a couple more things off my list..

8) Work at a live entertainment show / 22) Take part in a charity event

On Friday I managed to kill two birds with one stone, so to say.. 

I took part in a charity event, at the same time as working at a live entertainment show, by spending the day working with the team at Stand Up To Cancer for Channel 4... and what a day/evening it was!

My day involved helping with the studio rehearsals and standing in on Alan Carr's Chatty Man and then helping look after the contributors / celebrities whilst the show ran live on Channel 4. It was a great event, and for an extremely important cause, so I'm really glad I had the chance to be part of it.

So far the total raised is over £6million, but if you haven't donated you really should at: http://www.standuptocancer.org.uk/donate

Coming up on my list I'm hoping to do the following:
  • 4) Attend a convention (Comic Con)
  • 24) Help in a soup/charity kitchen
I also know how dull this entry is, so I promise that my next one will be a bit more exciting.. !!
