excitement and smiles and over-the-top exclamation marks !!!

Because I have about three gatrizillion photos on my laptop, I have been trying to put them in some sort of order instead of just in files labelled helpful things such as 'various' or 'more pictures' or, a personal favourite of mine, simply 'people'. I'm really very lazy.

Browsing through these photographs, I have discovered that I have a signature pose. It is not original, nor is it in any way attractive/pleasant/awesome. It simply appears to be the face I pull when either a) I'm excited about something (which is often), or b) when I'm really excited about something (even more frequently. I am like a small child).

Here is a selection for you. Note how in every one I look gormless, yet full of joy at that moment in my life. GOOD TIMES.

Fields! Grass! I love Yorkshire!

I'm in Belfast! That's in a whole other country to where I live!

THE SEA!

Prague weddings are creepy! (Classy English bird with my bottle of wine, there. How shameful).

Yay! I'm endangering both our lives by distracting my friend who is supposed to be driving!

Women in prison! My favourite!

I'm on a boat! In the sea! And a girl is watching me!

I'm on the beach in the rain! My life is the BEST!

That's NAPOLEON'S ACTUAL HAT. JESUS CHRIST! AMAZING!

A BlackBerry sign! And...oh my God! I HAVE A BLACKBERRY! Take a photo!

I'm on a gondola! IN VENICE!

Rome! History! Old stuff! Boater hats and white bras!

Christmas and DINOSAURS. I am going to explode with excitement!

TINSEL! SPARKLES! HATS! ARGH!

Living the dream!
