Sans Vous, ma petite un.

Out of interest - if you're reading this & have me on Twitter, tweet me your favourite film quotes! & not the "I love lamp" type - nice ones, please :)

The tattoo on my right foot reads "Sans Vous" (or phonetically - "soun vou").

It's French for "without you" - a quote from the film Amelie. It's short for; 

"Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterdays". 

Scurf means just bits and remainders, such as dandruff and the scummy bit left in the bath. 

I take this to mean that without 'you' (and I like it, because it can apply to anyone who causes you to react to them in any way), the emotions felt today would just be the scummy remainders of yesterdays emotions - like there would be nothing new, and it would just be a bit blah...if that makes sense?

Usually when people ask what it means, I just say "without you" - which in turn, sounds a touch 'emo', but I don't necessarily want to explain the full meaning to just everyone...

So I do think it's pretty awesome when people I actually know really well, or have known for a long time, or those who just listen & remember know what it's short for - they're few & far between!

And I do think it's reasonably important that when someone has something marked on their body for life, that if you're told why, you generally know...plus most of the time the storys behind tattoos are awesome :) 

Can't wait to book the next one!

Ps. If you've never seen Amelie...take the time, it's totally worth it.

The film itself is subtitled, but the only English trailers have a ridiculous American Movie Voice over the top, which ruins it! 

I reckon this, & Vanilla Sky are probably two of my favourite films...possibly a topic for my next post :) 

...watch this space! 

Recently...

Iiiya!

  So I was thinking today about the fact I haven't actually 'blogged' in ages (well - a week & a half, or so). Therefore, I thought it might be good to do a little "what I've been up to" post...

It's been hectic at work;

Thought I'd liven-up the glass bin...

Something a customer left on their table for us...

It's also been lovely weather the past couple of days, which has been funny when it comes to online networking - it would seem that everyone I know/follow has been either enjoying the sunshine, or wishing they could!

(well, a few anyways)

  The boy & I went shopping - long story short, he bought me shoes. Aka = the best thing ever! Lovelovelove them!

I did see some other really cute shoeboots from River Island:

 - I may have to go back for them sometime soon! 

  We also had a swift trip to Ikea for meatballs. The boy had them with pasta & proclaimed them to be the best thing since sliced bread! (I tried some & can agree it is a pretty awesome meal!) I definitely recommend buying the meatballs & gravy in the food-shop-part & making it at home!

  What else did we do when we were there? Acted like children, of course; 

& took pictures in the mirrored cupboards:

Apart from that, not a lot's been going on! The only annoying thing is that I keep thinking of things to blog about, but then forgetting before I get to a computer...This is partly why I have started to use my phone as a notebook! 

It's a plan Stanley. 

The first (& only relevant) note was to look up the Amelie Soundtrack on Spotify - I did & it was amazing! Check it out if you fancy it!
