Facebook Trauma!

Why it is that every time you log on to your computer the first thing that you think about is logging on to facebook??...
Facebook is central to your life, the addiction that fuels you to want more… you did only check your account two hours ago and the purpose of checking it again really does not make much sense.
But really you may have a new notification, which needs checking!
Really or yes the photo’s from the other night maybe up and you want to de-tag yourself before the whole world and more gets to see you looking terribly shameful, of course the family will see the photos.
The news of me going out again, would only spread like a vicious virus, as you know family, what more do they have to discuss than my life to make family life sound more interesting. So, you know that would be another topical conversation at the dinner table, "Charlotte antics".
As I once again log on to my account it’s only been the third time this day, rather sad I know.
Knowing that they will be no notifications but I still wait for my home page to load, scrolling down looking at the current events, issues, dramas that my friends have been facing.
Well I say friends, can you honestly say that every person you have added on facebook are your friends?
The thing with facebook is that people that wouldn’t generally speak to, would add you? What is up with that? Sometimes it is just so false!
Although you realise that facebook shouldn't dominate your existence it really does, you have to admit it. The issue with facebook, it really can cause a lot of drama without you even knowing. You can’t leave a message or status without someone assuming something that may or may not be the truth.
Although the status application is for you to express your feelings, but really trust me sometimes it isn’t a good idea to express your feelings explicitly haha.
The whole idea of facebook may die out as myspace did and a new craze will come along but for moment I will still stay true to my account. The account that causes more drama than its worth but doesn’t everyone love it!

P.s- New craze Twitter, twitter out! Facebook Rules #1


Much love to all

Welcome To Charlotte's World....

Ok, so here goes Mac 299 blogging, social networking. Rather late than never, I must confess this has taken some time to upload my first post.... apologies to all.

Oh no hazardous drinking!!!!

So come on really what is this all about, latest news that the Chief Medical Officer proposed plans to increase the price of alcohol?
Is that really going to reduce the levels on binge drinking or is it just a plan to make more money from the consumer. At the end of day we all like a drink some more than others, not mentioning any names…. Can we all be tarred with the same brush? We are not all raving alcoholics’ exception for us students!
The plan is already implemented in Scotland but do we really need to follow suit, I suggest not!
Although this is a serious topic, drinking is apart of our culture and it will not just be washed out as prices rise. I know that it will not stop me and my girlies enjoying our intoxicated nights out it just means we may have to become more intoxicated in the house before hitting the town!
Oh well, my apologies Mr Chief Medical Officer but your plans will not prevent me from reaching for the bottle.
Yes I may sound cynical but I’m young and really I’m only living as much as the next person. On serious note let’s not get too wasted this weekend as I do have work on Sunday…..
So I could go on further about this crazed idea the hierarchy have on society but this would become rather boring and I’d just be a total moaner, it really wouldn’t be to exciting to read!

Much love to all

Xxxx Peace out. xxxX

P.s – I’m not an alcoholic I just like alcohol

Confessions of a Sinner....

So, my blog may entertain more than others, girls yes, guy’s maybe... Guys you may enjoy reading my attempt at pitiful humour through my more than sinful ways or it may just be that you can relate this to your girlfriend as she maybe as equally as sinful as moi! Let's hope not?

Are you a shopaholic????

Does it mean you have issues, slight problems when you know you have more or less of a zero bank balance and you still proceed to spend. Yes the atm did just give me the correct up to date balance but that doesn't matter because there is always that free money your given when the balance dries up, yes that is called the free student overdraft facility.
So with the money available you find yourself back at the shopping centre the beloved centre that relieves stress takes away any unwanted problems, the buzz that you get from prettyful things!
As you walk through the door the intense pressure mounts to find the desired purchase you need, the rush of the shop as you catch a glimpse through the corner of eye, pretty sparking shimmers demanding your attention but no there you see them positioned perfectly under the light on the shelve. Your focused alert, your attention is in one direction, heading towards before that girl in front goes to get them. You reach out to find that YES perfect, YES I said perfect pair of shoes. Yes you may already have X amount of shoes but does that really matter?
Ummm is that my mum’s voice I can hear "Charlotte how many pairs of shoes will that be now? Don't come running to me or your dad when you have no money left!"
Right so that little voice or should I say rather loud irritating voice I’d rather not hear. The voice which is grounded sensible not crazy and erratic which drives you to emotional purchasing but to be honest really, is that going to stop a girl on a mission?.....
As I glide my rather orange feet which already prepared for the intoxicated night ahead, orange being the gleaming tan appearance that I ore!
The shoes are on, as I parade towards the mirror laughing with my friends, Claire; “yes you do look like a show horse, keep picking your feet up and you’re off! Keep strutting". Approaching the mirror with five inch heels thinking I will remain on my feet.
WOW, there fantastic! I absolutely love them! I have to have them, all previous thoughts washed away with the over powering buzz of new shoes. Think sensibly charlotte, I have no money umm.... Claire: “But charlotte, seriously they look so good and they can be worn with so many outfits"

Ok dilemma would you buy the shoes?

This is actual nightmare for me, this sounds terribly OTT and dramatic but why is my life always a total drama...?
Shoes or negative balance??
So you have guessed it!!!!! The power of pretty tan colour five inch shoes got the better of my ridiculous mind set.
My sinful ways once again were released! This had only been the 5th pair of shoes I had bought in the past week and a half, crazy yes that’s me!
OMG girls please if your reading this take my advice really think about the next time you hit the shopping centre, is it really worth putting yourself through the traumatic stress of purchasing shoes that really aren't needed... ummm....
Resist the dark side, don't sin or you will become a sinner just like me, your confession will be merge to the surface!!!
This confession has been one of many!

Much love charlotte.xxx

P.S- why is shopping called retail therapy???
