I feel like my life is about to become a Richard Curtis film, and not ‘Love, Actually’, though I really do hope and dream that one day I will get to fall hopelessly in love like that. No, I’m currently being cast in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and I am watching everyone around me…

No Year’s Resolutions
This year started off the same as any other. Thinking about resolutions. I usually make the standard – lose weight, do more exercise, be healthy – kind of resolutions, but this year when I made a few, they were actually a little different. I decided I wanted to read more books, and figure out how…
New Years Resolution
I make resolutions every year. The traditional ones like: exercise regularly, eat healthier… They all usually appear in my long list of ways to better myself for the New Year. Usually I don’t make it to the end of January. Maybe I make too many, maybe I try to improve myself more than is humanly…
Top 10 Films of 2013
This blog post was inevitable. I work at a cinema, and I love film. So a top 10 of the year was bound to arise sooner or later. However, when I look back over this year, it’s actually been a pretty terrible year for film. I struggled to make the list whole. I hated Les…
Quitting
I’ve heard how hard it is to quit things you’re addicted to. We all know how hard it is. We hear about Alcoholics Anonymous, where you have a sponsor to keep you on the road to recovery, and even then, do you ever truly recover? You’ve seen the adverts for Nicorette gum and patches to…
Being Thankful
So I thought it’d be a really cool idea to post a blog about being thankful on Thanksgiving day. I know, what a concept! How has no one ever thought of it before? However, I had this idea on Thursday. Before work. Then I had youth club that I help at. Then I had more…
I’m Amy, and I’m a shopaholic
The past couple of days, I’ve been waking up with a face full of cold, feeling like I have man-flu (the fatal kind). My ears have that horrible cold feeling where I feel like I could topple over at any moment, I sound like a man (and a very husky voiced one at that) and…
So you’ve had a bad day…
It happens. I woke up this morning and knew today was going to be bad. You know how when you go outside, you just know it’s going to rain. You can sense it. In the air, or maybe it’s like a sixth sense. You just know something bad is going to happen. You don’t know…
Christmas Rant
It’s very well established that Ellen and I both have some sort of mutated Christmas gene that means we get superbly over excited about the festive season. I’ve come across far too many Scrooges to know that Christmas is pretty much resented by most. But for me, it is truly a magical time of year….
Feminism – Why I Don’t Like It
As controversial as it is to say, I really don’t buy into the whole concept of feminism. I understand people have died to achieve equal rights over the course of history, but I’m talking about everything since then. Modern feminism. I am very grateful, and extremely thankful that people have in the past and still…
