I keep having little moments, when I stop, stare, and remember the awkward smiles, and not so funny jokes, they way we screamed at each other from across a room. Yet we were still smiling, we were only just joking we were still laughing. And I wasn’t so serious, I wasn’t so scared anymore.
I thought everything that was you and everything that was me would intertwine so magically that all that lay before us in this big scary world would disregard all the pain and suffering I had caused everyone and just indulge in the love that was so devastatingly beautiful a single kiss could save a thousand lives.
But because of all of this I realised that I could write everyone I’ve ever missed a thousand emails, asking how they are, and how much I miss them. But none of that would compare to a small envelope with a picture of us smiling together.
And scrawled on the back, would be those three little words written in my hand writing.
Because I think that would mean a great deal more.

Lightning Round:….the place where we ask THE hard-hitting, important life questions that you all need and want to know:
What made you start your blog?
After reading other peoples’ blogs for awhile gave me the urge to start my own because it seemed fun to share the things about yourself, of what you like and also its a good way to meet bloggers from around the world. And I’ve met some awesome people through the blog world. So I’m happy to have started my blog.
Do you prefer muffins or cupcakes?
I like them both haha. I know most choose cupcakes because they are cute and sweet looking. But muffins are really good too! So I say muffins since I’ve had them more than cupcakes.
Your favorite book is?
Ahh! this is hard, me being a bookworm haha. I love almost all but I have to say my favorite book is ‘Water for Elephants’ by Sara Gruen. What an awesome book it is and I highly recommend! 
If you could have tea and cake with any three people (living or dead) who would you pick?
Well I would love to have tea and cake with Thom Yorke. Don’t know if he’ll like to have tea and cake though haha. But I am a big fan of his music. He’s the lead singer of Radiohead and I think he sings amazing and writes the most incredible lyrics!
America Ferrera. She inspires me and she’s so confident. I think she’s very lovely!
and Mila Kunis. A favorite actress of mine because she’s so cool and beautiful. I love her personality and because she plays World of Warcraft too! Haha.
What TV show would you like your life to be?
Maybe ‘The Office’. It’s so hilarious and I think it would a lot of fun to be part of that funny show. Michael Scott always makes me laugh. But another show that’ll be very cool would be ‘LOST’. But I don’t know if’ll I like to be stuck living in an island for so long. I might go crazy! xD
Here are few film photos I’ve taken using a Holga, and behind every photo is a little about me.
These leaves are some of the first ones that fell from a tree and a sign of autumn. I love Fall, the colors, the warm clothing, coffee, cuddling, and warm blankets ^_^
Blog: Red Boots
Blogger: Wendy
Location: Scotland
What we like about her: As well as being sweet, funny and kind, Wendy is constantly posting about the adventures in her life including her home, her loves and the things that make her happy.
She sounds wonderful… what else should we know: Wendy has great taste in everything – music, clothes, tv shows, places she live and not only that – she also takes beautiful photos with all her cameras (including a holga and a Polaroid) and she has a pet parrot called Lily!
Lightning Round:
….the place where we ask THE hard-hitting, important life questions that you all need and want to know:
Do you prefer muffins or cupcakes?
Cupcakes! The frosting is by far my favourite part of the cupcake. However, if you frosted a muffin then surely that would be cake heaven – a muffin is much larger so would hold way more frosting!
If you could have tea and cake with any three people (living or dead) who would you pick?
Sufjan Stevens – to provide the music.
Jermaine & Brett from Flight of the Conchords – for witty banter.
Rachel Carson (writer) – Silent Spring was probably one of the most important books published in the 20th century – so she would add the philosophical element.
We’d definitely eat muffins covered in frosting and drink mugs of steaming hot Earl Grey tea!
Your most embarrassing moment is?
I am exceptionally clumsy, so I am a walking embarrassing moment about to happen. I can trip over nothing. I have also vomitted on dates, got locked in a toilet on my first day of work, you name it, I have probably done it…
The song that never fails to make you crazy-dance is?
I’m a bit of a sucker for anything by Fleetwood Mac. When my friends and I get together, we push the sofas against the wall and dance like drunken aunts at a wedding.
Your favourite book is?
I love both books by Jonathan Safran Foer – Everything is Illuminated & Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close – both have the ability to move me to tears every time I pick them up. I also love anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez – Love In The Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude (despite the sightly depressing names) are some of the most magical and uplifting books you could ever read.
If you could have any three items in your apartment, what would you chose?
I’ve been lusting after a KitchenAid in bright red for years, so definitely a KitchenAid. I have a bit of a thing for red kitchenware – pretty much everything in there is red.
A claw-footed bath tub. How amazing it would be to sink into one of them on a cold night.
Pictures on the wall – we live in a rented accommodation and our landlord is so uptight, that we can’t hang anything on the wall. We even had to ask permission to hang a mirror above the bathroom sink! So upsetting! I am collecting nice framed pictures, and putting them on the floor against the wall, so at least there is something pretty to look at.
Isn’t she lovely? Check out Wendy’s guest post below and pop over to her wonderful blog to say hi!!

What we like about her: we love jaime’s honesty and genuine personality {which is very obvious through her posts!} she has such a sweet spirit about her and always posts what’s on her heart. like many bloggers we love, she keeps us updated on her life and always has us laughing with awesome stories.
Hmmm interesting ….what else should we know: she blogs because she loves it. she comments back and really enjoys meeting people through blogs. i can always count on a sweet comment from jaime. she also posts very frequently… hello lover 
Do you prefer muffins or cupcakes? Cupcakes are definitely where its at.
If you could have one superpower, which would you choose? Is it possible to have the power to have all superpowers? That’s no fun though!? That’s like using your 3rd wish to ask for more wishes. Seriously, flying would be pretty sweet. I’d definitely want to fly.
Your favourite book is? I have many, many favorite books. Right now it’s The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Ask me in a week and I’ll probably have a new fave to ask to the list!What TV show would you like your life to be? Most definitely The Office. Who wouldn’t want a Michael Scott or a Dwight Schrute in their life? Or a Jim for that matter…wink wink

The Lightning Round:
Some loveliness from and about our blogger
What made you start your blog? When I first started my blog it was meant to be a place to write about my life, my thoughts and share my creations. Plus I started to read a lot of blogs and enjoyed them.
Where do you get your inspiration from? I get my inspiration from many things….books, blogs, photos, magazines, inspiring people. I think the people around me show me beauty in all the small things.
If you could have tea and cake with any 3 people (living or dead) who would you pick? I would have to say Esther from the Bible because I loved her story, Suzanne Collins (author of The Hunger Games Trilogy) to discuss the book series and Audrey Hepburn because she is such an inspiration.
Your favourite book is? I have a lot of favourite books so I might just list some of them. One of my favourites is the Chronicles of Narnia. But my most recent favourite book series is The Hunger Games Trilogy.
Money can’t buy you love, but it COULD buy you? An around the world trip, a honeymoon and lots of stationery and books!
How do you take your tea? I either take it with no milk if it’s green tea or skim milk with no sugar and usually a biscuit or piece of chocolate (this is why I don’t need sugar).
There are several important things we didn’t learn at school that I wish I was able to. These are things that I personally didn’t learn at school (in class).
* How to accept and embrace yourself….I think school made me feel more insecure about myself instead of accepting the way I am. I would judge my looks, my grades, my personality against other people and it caused me to feel unhappy with myself.
* How to appreciate life and others….Sure we learnt to appreciate people but I think many of us (myself I know) were more selfish at school. I didn’t always appreciate my parents and other people around me. Or appreciate that I am so blessed.
* How it feels better to give than receive….The joy on someone’s face when you give them something they’ve weren’t expecting is simply wonderful.
* How to see the beauty with the little things. I think we have a tendency to forget the little things. Such as the beauty of the sunrise, the feel of cool water at the beach on a hot day, the smell of a new book, the soft glow of fairy lights.
* How to capture precious moments. Life goes by so fast and I wish I captured more of the moments I experienced at school. Sometimes I wish I could go back and write about it.
* To see beyond the outside appearance of a person. I think we would judge a person’s outside appearance a lot quicker before we truly get to know them. There are so many people with such a wonderful personality but we miss out on getting to know them because we judge how they look on the outside.
* To value a good friendship. We don’t always value our friendships and sometimes it’s the tough times that we realise how important these friendships are. We need to value them through the good and bad.
In the end, I didn’t learn these important things at school but I learnt these through my experiences in life (through school life and now). And for that I am grateful for the good things, the mistakes they all helped me to grow as a person and taught me to appreciate my life.
Thanks for letting me share lovelies =)
**** Thanks Sara and everyone from Diamonds in the Rough.
