Link love (Powered by storms and insomnia)

nzmuse blog link love

Oh, the irony.

When I was 16, I wanted to stay up late, have plans every Friday and Saturday night, drink booze. Now the mere thought of all of these three things exhausts me. Ten years on, here I am on a Friday night wanting nothing more than to read a few chapters of my book and be tucked in by 10pm. (I haven’t been sleeping well at all, so I desperately need to catch up this weekend!)

    I used to love going out with my friends every weekend too! But now, I love to stay here at home and watch movies online.
