Happy New Year to my wonderful readers and friends. 2012, it was a crazy year for sure. One of the hardest years of my life. After going through a break up and a mental disorder. Over the past 12 months, I learnt to put myself back together. There were many ups and downs throughout the year. But I can say that I came out on top. Some of the greatest moments were meeting Norman Reedus, over coming Borderline Personality Disorder, my trip to Canberra, moving out of home and learning who my real friends were. The downs were my Dad’s tumour and prostate, the loss of my friend Jeremy and breaking my Macbook.

Since I last left you guys, a lot has happened. On the night of the zombie walk I met an amazing guy. Although there had been a lot of dating for me through the year I didn’t think anything would’ve come out of meeting my Justin. Yes, he met me dressed as a zombie. After I met him I found out my Dad had a tumour in his hand so I kept my distance from everyone. After a week I bumped into him again, I apolgised for not responding to him and the rest is history. We’ve now been together for over 2 months. He treats me like a princess, always puts me first and makes me smile so much on the inside. I’m truly excited for my future with him. He’s the first boy I’ve been with that I’ve slowed myself down for and have matured. Less partying and socialising. I never thought I could be one of those girls. How times change.

I truly have cut many people out of my life. I have a wonderful relationship with my family, especially my sister Regan. For this horrible year, I’m so thankful to have them in my life every day.

Two other big highlights that happened for me were my favourite band The Living End. These guys did a national tour, performing every album for 7 nights. It was incredible. The band and the crew just treat us like family. I also was lucky enough to meet Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter. Just last weekend I went on a camping trip to release Jeremy’s ashes. It was hard to say the final goodbye, but it was nice to start this brand new year all fresh. Below are some photos over the past couple of months (Scroll over for descriptions). Happy New Year guys, I’ll see you in the future.

Hey guys. I found this cool video from the 2012 Adelaide Zombie Walk. My friends and I can be seen at 0:15. But watch the entire video, there were some amazing and creative costumes. It’s an awesome event. You can see all sorts of ages that attend this annual event every year. It gets bigger, and bigger by the year. It’s so much fun, especially covering yourself in fake blood.

Today would’ve been my idol’s 72nd Birthday. None other than Sir John Winston Lennon.

From the age of 15, lets just say I turned into a complete Beatle Nut. All those who know me well, know how much this band means to me. They changed my views in my life and of course on Music. John Lennon was a man who truly inspired me to hang on and be strong. He had a hard childhood. When I learnt about him, I could relate to his past. Even to up to the last years of his life, it was always a struggle. He taught me to appreciate music, to believe in love and to continue in life, even when it’s at its darkest.

Please take the time to watch the little video below. It’s a film clip of George Harrison singing a song called, All Those Years Ago. Which in fact was written for John Lennon a few years after he was shot in New York in 1980. It has some real lovely clips of Mr Lennon.

In other news, this past weekend I did the 2012 Adelaide Zombie Walk. Pretty much what it is, is that you dress up as a zombie and walk through the city. My friends and I decided to dress up as The Beatles in their SGT. Pepper costumes. I was John Lennon of course. Oh and yes, I’ve changed my hair colour and style. I’ll post a recent photo of myself for you as well.

Happy Sunday!

Today I went to the Adelaide Comic-Con with my sister Regan. We mainly went along to meet Norman Reedus. He plays Darryl Dixon on The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is one of my favourite TV shows, and I’ve just started reading the comic books. Although Darryl isn’t in the comic books, he is still my favourite character on the TV show. When I heard that Norman would be coming to my city, I jumped for joy. Living in a small city, we never have opportunities like this at all. I feel so lucky and giggly still after meeting this man.

The meeting last only about 20 seconds, but he was so kind. We lined up to get our photograph taken with him. When I got to the front of the line, I just waved at him, like an idiot. Let out a squeal, “Hiiiiiiiiii”. He said, “hey little red, aren’t you a cutie”. I think he knew I was nervous so he allowed me to latch onto him. We took our photo and he thanked me for coming along. As I said, it was quick. But it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’ll never forget it. Below is our photo together. I’m sorry it’s not the best quality, but wow. Just wow!

For all of those who are reading this blog and have never watched The Walking Dead.
1. What is wrong with you?
2. Get your ass on the couch and watch this amazing show.

I hope you all have an awesome weekend. x

As promised from last night, I’ve uploaded some photographs from the past 6 months. As you may notice, I’ve had a drastic hair colour. I have gone back to being a red head. It’s a very vibrant red though. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I’ve got a lot of compliments. So I think I’ll be keeping this hair doo for sometime. Love to know what you guys think of my red hair! Enjoy the photographs.

Explaining all the photographs above:- (1). My best friend Ellyn is back from after living in England for almost two years. We’ve been running a muck. (2).

I will try and upload a video blog soon. I have a bunch of questions that you guys ask me regulary and I would love to answer them. Until then, have a marvellous weekend.

Hey guys. Apologies for not blogging much. Have been coming home from work, just oh so drained. It’s such a hard time of year to work in retail. Today I’m having a day off so it’s been nice to sit around and do nothing.

My life has mainly been circling around work. Not too much socialising for me. But I’m also going through a patch where I hate humanity. But am looking forward to see my ‘true’ friends and family over the xmas holiday period. Especially the family members on my Dad’s side. It’s always such a great Xmas dinner. Not only do I have my crazy family, Dad’s friends from his biker gang join the party. Drinking stops around 1 am. Oh I cannot wait. And it will be mine and Jon’s 2nd Xmas together which is very special to me.

But can you believe I haven’t even finished my Xmas shopping. Oh my. I’m almost done. But working in a shopping mall doesn’t help. Once I finish my shift, I just want to go home and get out of the loud and crowded establishment. But I need to get it done soon, because we’re less than two weeks now.

I’m hoping to sign up for Skype tonight. I know, I know. I’m a network whore and I don’t have Skype. I’m mainly getting it to chat to my best friend over in the UK. But would love to use it to talk to some of my online buddy’s.

There’s not much else to update you on, but I shall try and get you another more interesting blog in the next few two days. In the mean time, here are a few photos oh what6 I’ve been up to around Adelaide. I have been out dancing, my mate came home from Queensland and went to a wedding last Saturday. Bring on the summer baby!!!
