Fabulous Friday Fives

This is going to seem like a really out of the blue, completely random blog.

But you see, I'm inspired.

I'm inspired by the "Ten Things I'm Thankful For Tuesday" blog done by the fabulous Becca Dean
& the "Thanks on Thursday" blog done by the lovely Claire Maxwell.

So here I go... about to list five reasons why today is a FABULOUS day!!!

1.) It is 11/11/11 - How cool is that?!?! We wont get to experience this day for another 100 years when it'll be 11/11/111 (because it'll be the year 2111 & I have no idea how they'll decide to record the years - whether it'll start again & be 11/11/11 or they'll go up in hundreds & the day will be 11/11/111 but never mind.

This day is still a special day for weirdos like me who find it extra special. Then again some people (the same sort of people who thought 06/06/06 was judgement day) believe today is the end of the world - well it sucks to be you people because that's just depressing.

Although I have to give it to you! If today was the end of the world & you truly believed that it was... hopefully you lived life up to this moment as amazingly as possible (which, to be honest, you should be doing anyway)

2.) Tonight is the Rootz Youth Film Club in Chorleywood!!! Oh yeah!!! I love this time of the month. Why? Because once I've helped set up all the bits & bobs I get to sit down in the most amazing coffee shop in the area (I am not joking. It is AMAZING) & have a much needed cup of coffee or treat myself to a lovely Oreo Milkshake & watch a film. It may be an old film or it may be a new film BUT BUT BUT it doesn't matter.

The company is lovely, the drinks & snacks are lush, the films are pretty awesome (if I do say so myself) & it's just such a pleasant way to spend a Friday night. Oh yeah & the youth are alright too.

This would be us setting up :) This picture is found on Becca Dean's review of the coffee shop xx

3.) The fact that I haven't experienced everything in this world. That is something so incredibly random to find fabulous. But seriously... IT IS!!!

There I was sitting in Rootz (see above) having a coffee (a sort of warm up coffee before the film club... oh & chit chats with the lovely Claire x) & I hear about all sorts of things I could do & have never experienced. I heard more about The Rex Cinema which I really can't wait to go to one day soon. It looks so effing good!

I heard more about this pinterest hullabaloo - which was first explained to me earlier in the week by Becca. I find myself wanting to experience it. Whether I like it or not doesn't matter. It's something to try.

Then, finally, I was reintroduced to charity shops. I know that sounds daft but listen... You can walk past a charity shop & think "oh all that stuff looks crap because it's not brand new". Have an open mind please! Because you can walk into a charity shop & you can find the most amazing things... a brilliantly designed pack of cards... beautifully designed mugs... a cheap jacket that is of amazing quality etc. Because I have discovered this... I am going to charity shops more often.

They're so cool!

4.) I survived a day at work.

You see... I work in a taxi firm answering the telephones whenever someone rings for a cab. But it can be a mentally exhausting job because I'm stuck in a little cabin outside a train station & I have to put up with drivers, who are mostly middle-aged or older, moaning about this, that & the other! Also, my coworkers can be rather difficult at times. Oh & the passengers... some are nice... others are rude.

But today... nothing got to me. I joked, I worked, I had a longer lunch break than I was meant to & I got in later than I should.

All in all... a good day!

5.) Finally today is fabulous because I have so much to look forward to over the next few months.

From cinema trips to meals to the most random of things with the lovely Girlfriend & lovely friends.

It's going to be epic!
