Confusion comes in big boxes.

Okay, so is it slightly weird that I've already decided what I'm going to call my children? I don't plan on having any for many, many years, so I have no idea why I have chosen their names already. I guess I just like to plan way, way in advance.

Anyway I hate to put a dampner on things, whatever those things may be, but this week has been difficult. I've hardly eaten anything and pretty much lived on red bull, which is not good. My whole 'weight' issue thing has returned and I don't know what to do. All I want to do is lose weight, even though I know it's a stupid thing to want. I'm 5'7" and I weigh 7st 4. And as silly as this sounds, all I want to do is get to 7st... I don't know why. I'm obsessed with it. It's so draining when you're scared of gaining weight. I'm constantly aware of what I'm eating and how many calories are in things and I spend the majority of my days trying to find a way to avoid being hungry, it's so horrible. I can't even talk to anyone about it because I know how stupid it is. I hate admitting it to myself, but I do have some kind of a problem with food and I really need to get over it.

On the bright side though, I got my first tattoo! I LOVE IT! It's just a wee one around my left wrist and it says 'Dreams. Romance. Excess', just a wee dedication to my favourite Scottish band, The View. It's dead cute.

We've all got dreams, we all yearn for the perfect romance and we all want excess in the form of the things we love.

I like pretty pictures.

I want to be the girl in this picture, simply
because it looks nice. Sunshine, a book and isolation; not a bad combination.

I just got a nice tunic from Topshop. It's yellow with a 'hippy' picture on it. Pretty simple, but nice all the same. I got it in the wrong size though. They only had size 10's and I needed an 8, but I still got it anyway cause I liked it so much.

The View are on fire!

They, to me, are the shit. I love them. I have for so long now, but it seems my love just keeps growing and growing.

Yay, I've finally brought myself into the 21st century... I've now started using Twitter woo hoo! I've actually had one for quite a few months, but I never used it cause wasn't sure what the point of it was. I get it now though, so all's good.

Coffee & TV.

So, as a self-claimed tomboy, I never wear foundation, or even make-up tbh. But today, my friend, that changes. I decided it's about time that I started looking more like a female, seeing as that's what I am. So I done a little make-up shopping today and I found such a good foundation; Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid in Light Porcelain (I'm Scottish therefore I'm white as a sheet). Because I'm a foundation newbie I didn't want to go for anything too heavy or extreme, and also cause I don't have much money I didn't want to go for anything too pricey, so this foundation was perfect. It's quite light, yet you hardly have to use any for it to still have decent coverage. It didn't leave my face feeling smothered either and looked pretty natural. So all in all, a happy girl about that!

I've also just realised that I still haven't finished Alex James' book, 'Bit of a Blur'. It's like the minute I find any time to read, I'm either not in the mood or I constantly keep getting interrupted and end up reading the same page over and over again. So far it's been a decent read though. I would suggest you read it if you're a fan of Blur or Alex James, as you would probably find it quite interesting. 

I'm trying to think what else I've been upto lately... hmm? I was out at a gig on Friday, it was okay... we went back to the aftershow party as well which was utter bollocks, was nothing compared to the likes of The View's aftershow parties, which are always quite fun. I've also realised I hate Millar beer and I'm never drinking it again, it's rank. 

I also have another View gig in Glasgow on the 14th but I have nothing to wear! Always my problem, a wardorbe full of clothes, nothing to wear. I wouldn't mind treating myself to a new pair of black shorts actually, might check ASOS to see if they have any nice ones, which by the way, I just bought a gorgeous union jack bag from, I'm totally in love with it at the moment, so fetch! I'll probably just end up wearing my Dr Martens, some band t-shirt, my leather jacket and fish nets, as well as the new shorts... obviously not going to go out in my knickers, that wouldn't be nice for anyone. 

And to end this post I just want to say that I love Calvin Harris' song, 'I'm Not Alone' or something... just makes ya wanna get on ya boogie! Haha rather addicted though. It seems that our Calvin can do no wrong.

Me & my guitar.

This is me and my guitar. I love my guitar.

It's a green Earthfire acoustic and I named it 'Bogie' (cause it's green like snot... comedy genius right?) I got it for my 16th birthday, so he's almost 4 years old now, my wee baby.

I've been playing guitar since I was 9 years old I think, but I've never fully stuck to it, which I regret. I can play pretty basic stuff, but I plan on getting better. If I could play guitar like anyone it would definitely be Graham Coxon. I think I'd go as far to say he's my favourite guitar player cause he's just so bloody good. Imagine being the next Graham Coxon in female formation? I wish...

I wanna be sedated.

Yay! I finally managed to watch that Ramones documentary, and it was really good actually. The Ramones were such an underrated band, they really didn't get the recognition that they deserved. It's a shame when a band gets huge after all the deaths and going defunct. Ah well at least their music will live on. I've also decided I want to go visit Joey Ramone Place when I go to New York. Just so I can stand under the sign doing a dodgy pose and to say I've actually been there.

I also want to bleach my hair blonde, not looking forward to it though. I've always wanted to go blonde for some reason, but never went through with it because I don't think I'd suit it and it's so much hassle. But yeah, I've always wanted to go for that early 90's Courtney Love look, with the platinum hair and the blood red lips. I'm just so pissed off with the black in my hair, I want completely rid of it. If you're reading this and you're thinking 'hmm I kinda want to dye my hair black', please please please make sure that you really want to do it because it is a nightmare to get rid of. I will never do it again. I would quite like to go a chocolate brown or deep red as well though. I'm not sure how I'll go about this though, my hairdresser said it would take nearly a year for it all to be done, which is really shit cause I want rid of it all NOW! :(

The dog days are over.

I'm doing something completely out of the ordinary today... I'm actually going to the gym! *SHOCK HORROR* For some reason I'm quite looking forward to it as well. Me and my cousin are forever going on about how we hate our bodies and how we look blah blah blah, so we're finally doing something about it. Yay for us! I can see it maybe lasting a day though... I've never been a gym bunny, we'll see.

I've also decided in a bid to improve my health, that I'm going to quit drinking Coca Cola. I drink way too much Coca Cola that I actually believe it's going to be the downfall of my life. It's ruining my teeth and my skin and is just overall unhealthy, so I just need to get a grip of myself and say "Claire, stop depending on Coca Cola and go out walking or something..." 

In other news, I'm totally gutted that I can't get my hands on the Sid & Nancy top from Topshop, I really want one! Every store I've been in has been sold out. Hopefully I can get one off of eBay or something? *Fingers Crossed*

Also last night I decided I was going to watch a documentary on the Ramones. I'm really into the whole '70's New York Punk Scene' and love learning about the bands from that era, so I was really excited about watching this. I got my PJ's on, made hot chocolate, got some munchies and settled down to watch it on 4OD, but to my dismay the stupid thing wouldn't work!  Totally ruined my whole night! Or that's what I thought... I ended up watching the whole first season of the inbetweeners instead and oh my god I'm in love. Jay is my favourite character, I think he's brilliant. If you've never seen it, watch it! You won't stop giggling!
