Beautiful City.

You don't realize how beautiful some places are when you're not in the mood to see it. Today i went punting, its so calming to just chill on the river with lots of good people.

Need to make more effort to spend time around the good people in life. I've been so wrapped up in my own shit that I'd forgotten to appreciate others.... and everything around me for that matter.

Oxford is a stunning city when you really explore it. Some of the back streets alone as amazing.
This week is gunna be a good one for exploring I think. If its really sunny I will make a point of going out and seeing what Oxford is all about.

"I began to feel like a tree whose roots had at last broken into the rich, wet soil deep beneath the surface."

I've just read the book of Memoirs of a Geisha. I seriously forgot how captivating the storyline is. Amazing book, seriously recommend reading it, its really easy going as well, besides the odd Japanese name, its so simple to read. The author also uses a lot of metaphors for simple things in life, which makes the book beautifully thought-provoking.

The way the Geisha view life is incredible; They refer to this book [can't remember the name of it] every day to see whether it is lucky to travel a certain way or what the day holds for them if they do it right. Seriously superstitious stuff.

One part which really had me in awe was when the lead female's personality is described to be much like water; how it finds a new path if it is obstructed. I Like the idea that when things go bad in life, its up to ourselves to find a 'new path' to follow.

Glee has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure recently.
And I still love The Vampire Diaries.

Start Again.

So my last post was actually weeks ago. I'm thinking, i've given myself too much of a strict routine to stick by. When do i ever stick to a routine? Come to think of it... when do I ever stick to anything!? what makes me think i'll be able to stick to this? Silly silly Emma.

So im gunna start a fresh; post whatever I feel like [though I will try to make a few of them arty related, a lot of them will probably the ramblings of Emma's crazy mind].
