Paint in my hair.

Well, what d'ya know, I'm painting my very own flat. The living room is finished, the kitchen is almost finished, the bathroom and hall are a working progress. The bedrooms will come after that. My mother, my boyfriend and myself have been painting as much as we can and what I have concluded is that ceilings are very hard, especially high ones. It is enjoyable and the prospect of it being the place that I am potentially going to live is a huge motivation for me. Not to mention that I'll have the chance to live with my other half. I am incredibly lucky to have a flat in a wonderful city. I was so surprised that it was my parents' plans to do it!

I remember months in to my boyfriend's and my relationship together he said, "if I had it my way, we'd be living together in 2 years." Here we are. 2 years along the line, we've got a flat together. Our exam results will arrive on the 7th August - I don't think I will be able to physically open them. I might have to ask him to do it for me. I will be panicking more than I ever have in my life because it effects him too. If I don't get in to the university which is in the city of our flat, then I'll be moving to another city. This means he won't have anywhere to live! Part of me doesn't want to know for a long time but another part of me wants to know NOW! I try to stay positive about the other option of my future; a new city, new experience, lots of new people! I know it could be brilliant but it would mean that I couldn't live with my boyfriend, it would mean I would hardly ever see him, I have only been to the city twice and I would get lost so much because my sense of direction is appalling. Anyway, I'm going to stop ranting about this now because there is no point and those of you reading this will have, by now, got the gist of my worries.

This is a total change of subject but I've been thinking. All those celebrities/well-off people who spend lots of money on unnecessary things...why? Because they can. Yes, I get that but recently I've become frustrated that they haven't given away their "extra" cash to people in need. I know some do, I'm not disputing that. If I were to become famous or very well-off for some reason (and I hope not) then I would live how I live now; I am not materialistic in the slightest. Any money that I make that is just "extra" after my normal bills would go to people in need, I would make a conscious effort that that would happen. I just don't know why everyone doesn't do that. My sister watches a lot of T.V. programmes about Katie Price or Peter Andre (they are the only ones I remember) and I can't understand how she can watch them. Their luxurious mansions, cars and whatnot are just... well, unnecessary. However, I do know that many celebrities/wealthy people do contribute largely to people and animals in need, I just wish it was done more and by more people who could afford to. Peter Singer, a utilitarian said that all the extremely well-off people in the First World should give away 10% of their annual income to the Third World. I absolutely agree. I would hate to be a famous person/celebrity/well-off but I wish I was wealthy enough so that I could give a lot to those in need.
