A little bit sketchy...

Yesterday was a day for little surprises. (Don't get your hopes up, its not all that exciting.)

There was the question in the exam paper that I could have gotten full marks on if only I hadn't left my calculator in my bag. But still, I was surprised that such a question was on the exam paper.

It was a beautiful morning. Perfect sunshine. Blue sky scattered with wisps of cloud. So out I went in my little skirt, my sandals, glanced at my brolly and thought 'pah! why would I need that?' and set off. Then of course it started chucking it down around midday. Woo!

When I got home, I was shattered! Fell asleep for a good 3 hours and what did I see when I woke up? A sketch of myself on top the chest of draws!! Now if it weren't for the fact that I knew Jughead was up sketching that the night before instead of revising, this would have been a shock rather than a surprise! As she pointed out, evil Angel left a sketch of Buffy in her room/house to freak her out. I wasn't freaked out but being rather sleepy at this point, I did wonder for just a moment if I might find her lurking about in some corner of my room... no such luck! I do have to make a point of how impressed I was with the sketch. Its amazing! The eyes were spot on, the nose was quite flattering and the ears were the most impressive to me cos I really can't sketch ears. Lol. Hidden talent I tell you! I'd love to upload it onto the blog but its a non-hijabi sketch! :p

Now off I go to learn all about drugs! :D

lol what's this about a little skirt? I'm profoundly shocked!

Abbu brought me huge cones of the most perfect Jayne hat yarns- pure wool but it feels quite rustic and in gorgeous warm earthy colours. Sooo much better than the acrylic garish hats they sell for $35 apiece online. And Abbu said they'd been lying around the factory for 10 years so if I wanted to pay him it'd be about £1!!! When I told him it'd be more like £50 if I was lucky anywhere else he didn't believe me.

I was going to come round after my exams today but I stopped by the charity shop of silk medieval wedding gowns and picked myself up a lovely new blue silk skirt and bodice. Would've got both for £5 as well but my conscience pricked slightly and told them to check again though they'd already put it through the til. Then a horrid woman from the back came up and acted like i was trying to rip them off- and the old dears at the til looked horrified at her rudeness. Only £12 anyhow and I would have had guilt gnawing at me everytime I wore it if I'd robbed the charity shop. Cause I totally knew the shirt was sold separately- but if the old ladies had checked and still believe it was a fiver for both, then my conscience would've been fine though so I kinda hate the back room woman for butting in..

Don't worry, I wore the little skirt with trousers! :p eesh, do you think me some kind of floozy!?

With the 3 comments I almost thought someone else might have discovered my blog but it was all just my dear toast. I appreciate it all the same.

ah that word.. Floozy. Brings back painful memories. Slimey's nickname throughout the blogosphere for me last year because she insisted it meant ditzy though i told her over and over it meant trashy gold digger blond young slut who was a old perv's distraction on the side. Ugh I really didn't like it but to my horror it caught on and Tab, Giddy it seemed everyone was adopting it as a neat nickname and the harder i protested the more they laughed. Until Usaama pointed out on his blog it was a euphemism for prostitute - linked it to some pretty frankly worded definition and then it sank in like it was the first time they had a clue huh.

There was no mention of trousers so i was confused about how a long skirt could also be described as little. Except if you're very short maybe
