Merry Christmas everyone!!!
I thought about sending cards to everyone this year, but my bank account will just not allow it. Through this blog post, I can reach all of you, and you don't have to feel guilty recycling yet another card. It's a win for everyone!!!
I just want to wish you all a very merry Christmas, and cherish the time with your loved ones and friends. As much as you may hate them, take the time to really appreciate the company you keep.
I wish all of you the best this Christmas and hope that you get all the right gifts and well wishes.
With much love and hugs,
Devon <3

Episode 1, Contractors Wake Up Call
New Series "Pixie Dust Diaries"
Episode 1, Contractors Wake up Call.
Last night I went to bed on the fact that a little boy, who was very shy and had to have his mummy speak for him, tell me that I looked like Elsa from Frozen. Can I just say, I have unlocked the 'Ultimate Hair Goals' achievement. Also, having a short pixie cut, that changes every 4 months, I feel like my year has just reached a new level of success. (It's through moments like these that I understand the phrase "take joy in the little things," when in fact, this is a 'big' thing...) So, I went to bed feeling great, and because of going to bed feeling great, there is an assumption that waking up feeling great, follows. I would have felt great if the contractors pouring concrete outside my bedroom window, were young hot and had their shirts off (materialistic-blonde-with-high-expectations), but this is reality, so as you can imagine, they're old. One of them is from England and the other 4 are from some European country and I can't understand what they're all shouting at, or about. This is by far better then my soothing alarm, which gets louder as I ignore it. If I ignore my alarm I fear waking my housemates. I feel like how a house-cat feels, when left outside in the rain. Put-out and feeling as if the universe does not, in fact, revolve around me. (I'm not a privileged princess, but I like to think I am.) My fear of waking my housemates was dashed, as the contractors did the waking for me.
My day certainly got better, and then extremely worse, and right back up to an ultimate high, in which no one can bring me down from, as follows. I went to see my first Opera today! Although, besides being in English, I couldn't understand a lyric. It was a terrible first experience, but I am glad I had it, I caught up on some sleep. It was so un-grasping that I fell asleep, three times, during the performance. Which I feel so terribly about, these performers and musicians were entertaining me and I was falling asleep and not doing my part as a productive audience member. There were even subtitles, which I did not have a seat that could read them. However my day did get much much better after that, I went and caught up with some of my friends and did some fabric shopping, which proved challenging. I did manage to get a lot done yesterday. Once I was home, I quickly ate some dinner and was out again as my housemates had a film screening for their short animation films. It was such a lovely evening, I experienced so much. Both my housemates are so talented, it really inspired me to push myself and to see and do more.
As I am posting this a day after, the contractors are still present, and still up at the crack of dawn.
Sleep - 0
Reality - 1
See you soon!

Feel good for me. Feel bad for him.
Not much to report to be honest, I am busy with uni work and work work. I would post a picture of my schedule, but I don't really feel like being followed home, or to work. Just rest assured that I am actually busy and have no time for anything. It amazes me that I can get everything done that I need to. Working so that I can pay rent, so that I can live in a house to go to school. Working to pay for school and food so that I can be a functioning adult. Work work work!
I have some good news though!!! I have work experience coming up, and a job that I so desperately want, as a Costume Apprentice at the Royal Opera House. I am contorted into a ball of crossed limbs, a miracle I can even write this.
I also have a new industry contact/friend! I classify this as I have his number and email address. I feel little bad for the bloke, cause he doesn't know what will happen when I get an idea and want to go through with it. A storm of "We Must!" and "We Have To!" will bombard his email and phone. poor guy, feel bad for him, but please feel good for me. ;)
Until again! When I am not dead on the floor from pure exhaustion.

21 things to do before turning 22
So, *awkward laughs* I've decided to bring this up again. I'm sticking to it though, I have a plan. (As so many good intentions are started.)
I was having a lovely little chat with my good friend Holly on my Birthday, which, if you look at my last post (a year ago. LOL). Anyway we were talking about how the time of firsts is basically over, but I have just turned 21, a twenty "first." it then got me thinking of a million firsts that I could still accomplish. So I have complied a list of 21 things to do before turning 22.
I will post when I remember, as I am not good with routine, I am sure there is evidence to support this.. (lol)
This is my list:

I will post when I remember, as I am not good with routine, I am sure there is evidence to support this.. (lol)
This is my list:

day and go for High tea.

without being connected to the internet
o Design a Fall/Winter Collection and

o Host a dinner party (Thanksgiving?)

Now I realise that some of the traveling I won't be able to accomplish, but I dreamt i would be in London, so I firmly believe that anything is possible. When I next post it will be to tell you what I can check off my list.
Also, I found out today that my brother is coming over in 95 days, so there will also be a count down for that. BEST NEWS OF MY LIFE. My Grandad and aunt are also coming over in 28 days, literally buzzing. I head over to Ireland in July, so I thought it was kind of cheating if I put Ireland on the list, I made plans before I turned 21 to go to Northern Ireland.
Catch you later! Byyyeee!!
Devon =)
