I'm sure my heart will go on

Well Claudia bought me Titanic on video from some charity shop in Cornwall so I had to finally watch it. I was actually pretty impressed although it wasn't as amazing as everybody hypes it up to be. I loved the love story between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (even though I really dislike the woman and she looked much too old to be his girlfriend!) because I liked the sweetness of it. My favourite parts were when he taught her how to spit over the side of the boat and then passed her a note after the posh dinner party telling her to 'make it count'. However, once the ship started to sink I was so bored it was untrue. They somehow managed to drag on everyone's screams and sad faces for almost two hours and it was almost enough to make me contemplate the benefits of suicide.

Glue was another film I watched recently that I have mixed feelings about. I loved the fact that it was in Spanish because for some reason I like subtitled films and I liked the fact that it was so obviously made on a low budget. I even liked the dusty roads because they added to the forgotten atmosphere of the story. The guy also had really cool hair but it didn't excuse the fact that when the film ended I was left thinking 'is this it?' as I was waiting for something big to happen and it just didn't. I suppose that may have been the charm of it but I don't know. In over 3 hours all that happened was that the two boys sniffed glue together and had a bit of a cheeky fumble with each other before kissing the same girl who spent the whole film taking showers and wishing that
a) she was a boy and
b) she had bigger boobs
I personally don't understand how both of these wishes could ever come true.

This year I'm going to be really skint because I'm saving for Spain so I'm trying not to spend too much on clothes etc. However, I want one more tattoo before I go away and I think it needs to be pretty small if I'm trying to save money so I've decided on getting 'passjoni' on the nape of my neck in really pretty handwriting. The reason that I want it in Maltese is because
a) If I had a word in English everybody would know what it meant without asking me personally and I don't like the thought of opening myself up on that level and
b) Obviously I have Maltese blood and if I'm going to be spending a lot of time travelling I want something to remind me of my roots and the family that I will have left behind because with the obvious exception, I owe them a lot.

I also want my belly pierced this year once I've lost the weight that I put on this summer.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took in Spain with my pretentious dslr camera. They're a bit crap because I didn't want to take it to Cala Reona and we didn't stay long enough to go to the markets. (I don't want to be a photographer or consider myself to be particularly good at taking photographs, I just enjoy it.)
