    Haha aaw! I used to really freak out at the thought of having to give birth and being pregnant and stuff, but then I had this amazing dream where I was going into labour and my boyfriend at the time (he's long gone but shush) was sat by my side, telling me how proud he was of me, and ever since it hasn't worried me so much.

    I bought some gummi bears, an ashtray, four beer glasses and a pillowcase today. Time to get started!

    Mm I had a chat with Tim today about what would happen if I got pregnant at my age (I'm 16, he's 21) and even though I so desperately want a baby, and I don't think that age has anything to do with how much you can love a baby, I want to have some kind of financial security before having a child. Jesus, I have so much respect for teenage mothers who can do it right, but I guess I need the assurance of a degree so I know I can get a job and look after it. And Tim decided he's really not old enough to have a child anyway.

    Then we realised that was a very serious discussion for some people that had actually only been going out for about a month and a half

    Thanks Roma, those poems are great! I'm so excited about this.

    Haha Queenie, Tim's a bit like that but he's also quite mature so he doesn't mind it too much. And he knows I'm not not serious about wanting a baby right now (just in a few years).

    Yeah I can't really do love poems for children. I think it freaks him out slightly when every time I see a baby I make puppy-dog eyes at him.

    Ooh okay I'll search those. And yeah, if you could have a look that'd be great, but no rush haha

    Well..god, we must have met each other online about three years ago, then met up about two years ago, and for a long time we only saw each other occasionally and then suddenly in the last couple of months we started seeing each other all the time.

    Yeah I was thinking that stenciling the pillowcase might be easier haha.

    I had ANOTHER idea. I thought because he's a writer I could collect a few love poems into a book for him. The only problem is, my favourite writer is Sylvia Plath, who isn't big on love poems. But I might try and find some early ones when she first fell in love with Ted Hughes, and I have one by Carol Ann Duffy, and there's always good old Shakespeare and maybe some Christina Rossetti. Can anyone else reccomend someone?

    Okay, I've just thought that we both love Regina Spektor and always said that our song should be Samson because he has long blonde hair. How can I incorporate that?
    I was thinking what might be cute is sewing one of the lines into a pillowcase, like "The stars came falling on our heads".
    It's just a little funny cause I consider it to be a really sad song but he thinks it's romantic, so I guess for the sake of this I'll just go with his!

    Ooh and his username on the website we met on was The Lone Marmot, could I do something with marmots? They look silly though...
    Haha I'm worried I'll go overboard

    Glasses sounds like a good idea, he does like to drink, and I think I have some glass paint lying around.

    Well I'm thinking about making him those rainbow cupcakes, except maybe make a big cake of them. But I always do cakes for peoples birthdays, so that's not a present as such.

    I dunno, he's doing creative writing at uni at the moment, but I dunno what I could give him to do with that without being patronising. I could do a record bowl...he mentioned me making something for his place at uni but I don't know what. He really liked the gummi bear chandelier I showed him but I don't think I'm that clever.

    It's my boyfriend's birthday on the 16th of June and I want to make him something lovely, but I don't know what. I'm good at making things for girls cause I can make jewellery and customise dresses and hair clips and things, but boys are hard =( I know I'm stenciling a tshirt, but I need more plans.

    Please!

    Oh I love cinnammon coffee <3

    I actually adore the smell of incense, most types. I think it's beautiful, and I love the way it gets into everything

    Yeaaah it's so good.

    Ooh I've got this AMAZING incense, it's called Cherrywood and it's the nicest thing ever but I don't know if you can get it in other forms.

    Cinnamon's a lovely smell as well, but obviously for different things
