R-E-V-I-S-I-O-N

What's it been now, i'd say about a  good three weeks at least since my introductory blog. But as you can probably guess from the title i have been a tad caught up with the devils work, revision. and hence i shall not be writing another decnet blog until my exams are over.... in 6 weeks ARGHHHH.
Sorry folks, it kills me too.

P.S that does NOT mean my life has been boring for these past weeks without a blog, i just really don't have the time

If you really want to hear about it..

Now of course some of you will recognise this is part of the opening line of The Catcher in the Rye, i thought it was quite a nice title for my first blog as i shall be explaining a few things, but didn't quite fancy the ordinary hello etc.

Firstly, you must know why my blog has taken such a name, and such an address. All in the golden afternoon has been taken from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, i thought this would be a good title as a). my name is Alice (although i shall not disclose any other personal information and i feel a blog should be kept somewhat anonymous y'know) and i therefore have come to appreciate all things to do with the name Alice, such as Alice in wonderland and the royal family (there was a Princess Alice, Queen Victorias Daughter). and b). because i thought a golden afternoon sounded like quite a good kind of afternoon, although i'm not entirely sure of its true meaning, to me it almost describes the perfect slow and relaxing afternoon one may enjoy during the summer just sitting out in a nice field, but each to their own ay?.

Secondly, why is my blog address Aliceandabsolem? I'm sure you understand the reason for 'Alice' but 'Absolem' may seem a little odd. Absolem is in fact the name of the Catapillar in Tim Burtons 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland and all other good alice in wonderland quote have been taken. damn you!

Now, before you go thinking that i genuinely am obsessed with alice in wonderland, i'm not. i have only used it because it has something to do with me, slightly, without completely giving all my details away! Besides alice in wonderland, (5th mention of the book, eeek.) is a classic and i don't think you can go wrong with a classic whether its for a blog, or fashion, but perhaps opting for the classic of a prawn cocktail starter at a wedding or nice doo might indeed be a wrongen. Which brings me to two other subjects i enjoy. Cooking & Fashion. Thats not to say i'm some kind of hot damn fashionista or Michelin star chef, i just simply enjoying checking out the runways or reading and mag and occasionally cooking (in particular baking) some grub!

Anyway thats all from me for now, i must disclose that i was slightly worried about the creation of a blog, simply because i didn't think i would be bothered to write more than a sentence or two, but boy have i proved myself wrong!
Catch ya lates, Alice.
