Sexy Storage

Its a bad bad sign when you notice the cool storage on the wall in this picture before the legs from behind the kitchen cupboards.

Owl

Cant remember if i posted this already or not but here is one of the two little owls i made because i was just that bored.

Gah!!

Been back like half a day and my dads gone off the deep end.

Ever have an epiphany where you realise something and know that it is true? I had one today - i need to move out.
I can not take being the easy target when my dads in a mood. The stupidest little thing becomes this huge shouting match because instead of approaching it like an adult he acts like a child. I get it hes been made redundant and it sucks but my suitcase sitting in the middle of the landing is not a big deal, im cleaning my room first so i can get to my wardrobe to hang things up without falling over something and killing myself. I havent hoovered, big deal its not going to end the world. My head is spinning and and i dont know why, but i find myself cleaning my room and trying to unpack which was going to get done anyway. The more he pushes the less i want to do it. So he pushes more so i want to do it less. I have problems to, i address them in a productive manner rather than looking for conflict so i can feel better. My overseas job has been postponed, i dont know what the hell my hearts trying to tell me, both physically and emotionally, i'm now spending out my student loan which i was trying not to do and i have no idea what i want to do with my life.

Why does he get away with screaming about it and the rest of us are just expected to put up with it ?

Beauty in the weirdest places

I dont know what it is about this picture but its just so beautiful in a really strange way

Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars.

look at the face!

owl!!

this is how bored i was the other day. made two of these wee guys.

Life lesson

Don't go to zumba or the gym for a week, feel like dying after one routine.....

This will be me tomorrow

Going to move all my holiday stuff onto the spare bed and see how it fits into a suitcase. Gonna clean my room so its all nice and tidy for me going on holiday, gonna clean out the guinea pig and just generally get sorted out. OR i might lie in bed and watch some of the DVD's ive bought in the last couple of days which is the more likely option in which case ill be like...

POTC4

Actually against convention rather liked this film and loved the little love story that ran under the main plot. Totally getting the special edition when it comes out on DVD

This will be me in like 3 days!!!!

Growing up to fast

Sometimes i look at the things I've done and achieved this far in my life and i am proud and feel all adulty. I went to France on my own for three months when i was 18 which I'm sure not many people can claim to have done. I worked my ass off at school and got good grades, the same with uni. I work hard at work and have been given a trainee managers position. I save my money rather than fritter it away on things i don't really need.

But then there are other times i look at my life an wonder why i live so carefully. I don't tend to buy expensive things because they strike my fancy but instead lots of little things. I tend to plan ahead rather than be spontaneous. Sometimes i feel like i am living too much as an adult rather than enjoying the here and now. I don't go out with friends and stay out all night. I don't randomly crash at house parties. I don't go to the union at uni. I never really play the field. I like meeting new people but sometimes i feel like i find people i get on with and stop trying as much with others. I feel as though i am trying to be something I'm not sometimes.

This year i would love to move up to Glasgow for uni but since i don't want to stay in halls i would have to find someone to share with which is easier said than done. Have the element of freedom with some of the responsibility of being an adult but also the chance to be a carefree student. I will never have this much freedom in my life again, so why not enjoy it while i can. See places i want to see, find people to have adventures with and maybe at the very least have a night out in Glasgow.

The idea of a new book excites me more than new shoes

Books and storage.
Its a book nook

I expected the library at uni to be like this, i was somewhat underwelmed.
It reminds me of a forest with the almost branch like decoration stretching across the ceiling.
This just feels too clinical for nice fictional books but it would be amazing for non fiction. I can almost imagine the smell of freshly laid carpet and books.


Spiral staircase!!

apparently its the second funniest joke ever....

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see." Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars." Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life." And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."

omg i want this!!

Epicness!!

Its not like the showers weren't nice in France or anything when i was there last time, in fact in the grand scheme of things they were actually rather nice for a campsite. But never truly being alone ever when doing something as personal as showering does eventually get to you. The first shower i had when i came back was the most glorious thing in the world. Wasn't even in my shower but it was warm and steamy and there were nice big fluffy clean towers and i didn't need to rush because someone else wanted in after me. It was luxurious to say the least.

bahahahha

stupidly cool art

Maybe someone needs to see this today

*audible gasp*

I saw this picture and actually gasped it appeals to me on so many levels. Its a very pretty room and the couch looks awesome and comfy. All the books, there's loads of them, millions, how long would it take to look through them all? And then they're in colour order *makes heaven like hallelujah type noise* This is just the most aesthetically pleasing thing in the world to me. However my wee inner organisational freak pipes up that if they're in colour order the chances are they wont be arranged by author or series which is slightly upsetting.

Natural is beautiful

Id love to visit Asia. Its somewhere i will probably never visit on my own ill need to have a really good reason to go there but i would really like to just because of how different it is to Britain. Id love to see the huge cities covered in lights that light up the sky and the peaceful rivers and water falls. Everything always seems different, the tress, the animals even the lifestyle of the people who live there. I think if i visited somewhere like china i would feel really out of my depth just because of how different it is and the language difference but who knows, one day i might wake up and decide that now seems like the right time to just go for it.

Been awfully busy

Not really had time to myself this week, been busy with work and the odd social engagment. Went swimming on Monday in Kilmarnock and spent a lot of the time pushing each other off of floats and messing around on the slide. Tuesday i worked (Two for tuesday), Wednesday i did a day shift and meet the franchisee for the first time which was terrifying. Went to Scotts after and played pokemon puzzle league, cause i is cool. Thursday i drove to the far side of Glasgow along the motorway which was absolutly terrfying. I was shaking by the time i got out the car but i made it there in back in one piece which i am rather proud of. Went swimming at the time capsule which wasnt too shabby either and ate macdonalds. Worked friday and then went to a fancy dress 30th and then a normal dressed, still in fancy dress like a prat 18th. Then pitched up on Ians doorstep on fancy dress and watched doctor who and britains got talent - OMG!!! Then today i, drum roll please, worked a close then came home and gutted the house since the rents are back tomorrow. What a rock and roll life i have.

10) Talk about your pet

I have a guinea pig called Jeff. He is lovely and fat but awfully friendly and i big fan of cucumber, apples, celery (hes weird) and carrots. For such a little creature he makes quite a mess and comes with a lot of accessories for lack of a better word. Got his nails cut at the vet the other day which i don't think he enjoyed too much especially since he also feel off the table.

yummy

9) Favourite memes at the moment

Ok so this isnt all that current but one of the first i deiscovered just after it was released was "Where the hell is matt ?" Basically its a guy called Matt Harding who travels all over the world and dances, badly, infront of stuff. He is all the more cool-er because he has this on his site "When Matt was younger, he could hang seven spoons on his face at once. Sadly, puberty made Matt's face less conducive to spoon-hanging."

Princess Bride

Westley: I told you I would always come for you. Why didn't you wait for me?
Buttercup: Well... you were dead.
Westley: Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
Buttercup: I will never doubt again.
Westley: There will never be a need.

Are you a fitness guru or a couch potato ?

I like to think of myself as a fairly active person. I run around like a maddy at work and i spend alot of time cleaning my room. Although i kinda balance this out by spending a rather long time online.

Actual fitness wise though i do go to the gym, not as much recently as normal. Ive been swimming twice this week thou so that might kind of balance it out. I zumba aswell which although i look like a lemon doing it it is rather a lot of fun and i do try to watch what i eat but i love food to much to diet properly.

7) How you came across tumblr (blogger) and how your life has changed since?

Blogger

I honestly have no idea how i found blogger and why i decided to start blogging. There is only a handful of blogs on blogger i check on a regular basis, postsecret being the main one. I started a blog a couple of years ago which unfortunatly was a gushing rant about how amazing twilight is - im ashamed of myself.

Tumblr

I am a little obsessed with tumblr. I do have an account but i hardly ever tumble myself but i love looking at other peoples.

Who needs expensive rubbish?

Made a guinea pig run the other day out of cardboard boxes and notice boards and if you look at the top next to the food ball you'll see Jeff ( aka Spud, bunny, iggle piggle, haggis, honey) , he doesn't like getting his picture taken much cause of the noise of the camera so he legged it under his shelf just after this was taken. Each time i make a run its getting more and more complex with more in it. There's only him so by gum im going to make his runs "stimulating"

Shakespeare in love

Watching this at the moment and it is so beautiful

Bought this on DVD - exciting times

Someone needs a hair cut...

Marley and Me

Just watched this on DVD and cried like a big kid at the end.. Proper tears running down my face sniffy nose not just watery eyes, its such a sad film but so sweet at the same time

i want

To sit on the edge of the bath with my feet in nice warm water. stretch out my toes and feel the water flow between them and splash my feet up and down in the water.

To build forts out of cushions and sheet covers and lie under them till they collapse

To spend a power cut with you cooking pasta by candle light

To sit with you while you do pointless stuff on line like facebook and just be there doing pointless stuff with you

Its not much

<3

Too cute

Luvage

Typical

"There has been a recent increase in the numbers of measles cases in Scotland and the rest of the UK, mainly affecting younger adults. Many of the cases have been associated with recent travel abroad especially to France. A number of current measles outbreaks have been reported from France, Belgium and Switzerland."

This is gonna mean an injection if i'm not immunized *unhappy face*

This is the reason i dont tumble

Night

Sitting on my bed after a very long day and just chilling is the best part of life.

Had a fairly early morning cause i sort of lied to myself and said id go to the gym today which just didnt happen. Went to troon and ate ice cream, sat on a wall, burned, ate lunch and santered along a beach before work. I cannot say i regret not going to the gym because i had too much fun with what i did instead.

Went to work and asides from the fact i am shattered had a good wee shift, was in an awfully hyper mood. Close didnt take too long either which was good.

So now sitting on my bed with my duvet wrapped round my ankles and a window wide open cause my room is roasting with my wee fairy lights on blogging. Guinea pig is rattling round his cage like a bowling ball and squeaking from time to time.

Tonight is a good night

6) Your favourite season and why ?

Every season has its advantages and disadvantages.

I love how spring comes after winter, breaking the long spell of darkness and mince weather.

But thats not to say i dont like winter. I like when the weather outside is really crumby and you dont need to go out in it so you can chill in the house in pj's and eat rubbish infront of the TV all day.

I like how warm summer is and the new social opportunities it opens up to you.

And i like autumn and how pretty the leaves on the trees are.

This is apt

5) Three favourite colours

I like black, purple and scarlet - such a goff me =p

Just wit!!

It upsets me that some on tumblr "had reblog if your an old school disney child" and it was a sound file from the lissie maguire movie. WHAT PART OF THAT IS OLD SCHOOL?!?! I REMEBER THAT BEING IN THE CINEMA!!??! Im away too withdraw my pension

4) Closest Friends

I have the most amazing friends. People kept saying that when you left school you would lose touch with a lot of people but i think we've grown closer. There's something nice about spending time with people because you want to not because you have to.

I have friends from different places, people i talk to from uni, people i talk to from work, people from school and random people who have entered my life from other sources (pub =p)

Uni was not the nicest place for me to start with. In the first week i felt so out of my depth it was unreal. I knew nobody, i didnt know what to expect academically, i didnt know where things were etc. Then to top it all off i heard this girl sitting behind me in a lecture talking about "the losers who talk to people they dont know". Unfortunately my course seemed to have an abundance of people who had came up to uni with their friends and still liked to think of themselves as being popular. I was hating it. Until this guy, who im fairly certain will never read this, sat next to me in a lecture and started talking to me about the lecturers music taste. It wasnt much but that little conversation gave me the confidence i needed to talk to more people. I talked to him from time to time in the same lecture and it was nice to know that there would be someone there first thing in the morning to have a wee natter with. I probably wont be in any of his classes next year cause hes doing numbery rubbish but i wonder if he realises he may have made the difference between me staying and dropping out of Uni. There are others as well, people who i have alot in common with, which was nice after spending so much time thinking me course was full of emotionally immature idiots (no offence) who were only interrested in drink and the opposite sex. Ill miss these people over summer but hopefully next year we'll see each other again and swap stories of our foreign adventures.

Work - I love my job im such a loser i will openly admit i love my job. I also happen to like rather alot of the people i work with. Even the people i dont always see eye to eye with under it all i know that they are good people who care about the company and the people who work there, although they may never get invited to KFC. Trips to the beach park, random driving, chicken holding and fast food eating. You guys are awesome and i will send you postcards.

School - You guys are awesome, need i say more really. We may not have been the "cool" table but we had a much better year than they did, and we did it with our knickers on.

Random people - Right your gonna know who you are. You may not have the best diet or the cleanest bedroom but by gum we get on like a house on fire. Watching things at the same time, scrobbling and pokemon, we are just to dam cool sometimes

Ian - You get a wee section all to yourself. You were a friend first and hopefully will always be. You make me smile.

God i feel all mooshy on the inside.

Do you?

Do you read mine the way i read yours? Do you even know it exists? Do you believe what i write and see me in the words? Do you care about what i think? Do you feel like you know me better for it ?

3) Favourite television program

Since i have such a hectic life these days (laugh), i dont really have alot of time to watch actual TV so i spend alot of time on iplayer and 4od. Doctor Who has to be fairly high on the list of TV programs i love, Matt Smith is amazing, David Tennant is sublime, Christopher Ecleston not so much.

Desperate housewives also good to watch although it is descending into even more fanciful plot lines.

Anything food related is also hugely enjoyed. I cant help it i love food, i like eating it, i love cooking it and i love looking it at.

2) Any piercings or tattoo's

I have none, needle phobia pretty much sees to that. A tattoo would be cool but i just wouldn't have the guts although i know what id get if i did have the guts. Getting my ears pierced might be on the cards but I'm terrified of the idea. Epp

As per

I agree to go out somewhere and im not hungry then about ten minutes before i go out the door hunger sneaks up on me and im starving and there isnt time to eat =[
