Caged bird background

Saturday 30 April 2011


Walking into a lecture and not seeing anyone you know is terrifying. Wondering where you should sit, if you should sit next to someone or if theyre saving a seat for someone else. The from across the sea of heads you see someone you know waving and looking at you in that knowing kind of way that says "this seat is for you"

Saturday night fever

If you ignore the really really early start and slight lack of sleep ive had a really good day. Early morning staff meeting wasnt too bad and tried the new stuffed crust pizza. Food really has been the theme of the day today. Went to KFC and got chicken strip thingys (always call them the wrong thing). Went to the beach which although it was irvine which is a tad nasty and unclean and made me itch, was actually rather fun. We dug a hole in the side of the sand dune. Relocated to the beach park and ran up and down hills like a spanner. Watched G chase a little jack russel puppy (all you could see was the tail above the grass). Had a good wee shift at work and now sitting in the house watching Britains got talent and finding new parts of me that got a little bit pinkened (its a word) from the sun.

Books




I have rather alot of books that ive not yet read which makes me kind of sad. i think the issue is partly that id rather reread a book that i know is good then take a risk on a new one which might not be. Therefore my aim is to read at least half of the books ive not read yet before i go to france. This should work in nicely with my other aim which is to spend less time sitting on the computer. I feel like i spend too long on facebook and the like. Nothing all that interresting happens on it. I dont understand why i feel like i need to monitor it constantly to be in the know. If something important happens then ill find out about it other ways. Therefore in the near future i am going to try and give up facebook for a week and see what happens. I shall blog about it as i go probably and see how much more productive when i dont feel shackled to my computer. Might even go further than facebook and just say online in general. Limit myself to two hours a day online or something. I dont know ill see how it is nearer the time. I better get used to the idea anyway cause im probably not going to have much internet for the couple of months im in France. Maybe it wont be so bad though cause i wont feel like if i hadnt checked facebook id have been at an event cause regardless of what is happening here im still in France. But ill upload a pretty picture of the books i havent read and shut up cause now im rambling. Sorry.

Bit blurry, my cameras in a strop

Random thought of the night

When you stare at the stars how far into the past are you looking? When you consider that some of the things you're looking at haven't been there for millions of years, does it make you feel small?

Things I love

Done a few of these so if there's duplication I'm sorry.

Tea lights, writing letters, watching re-runs, going to the cinema, new clothes, removing tags on things youve bought, watching a DVD for the first time, amazon, cherry blossom, baking, warm showers, long hugs, Rich Hall, aniqdotes, making people laugh, traveling with people, windows down, speakers blaring, floral print, short shorts, floaty dresses, handwriting, dr who, harry potter, vampire fiction, horror films, pay day, pizza, Russel Howard, blue sky, long walks, country parks, random days out, blog stalking, food pictures, laughing till i cry, my family, long nails, hand holding, disney movies, eating out, drive throws, swings, running like i did when i was a kid, special fish and chips, Mock the week, not having to do maths anymore, clean bedroom, nail varnish, messy hair, long lies, duvets, kisses, drawings from friends, getting mail, rainy nights, swimming, chocolate, kettle chips, Ed Byrne, ice cream, driving, minty breathe, new perfume.

Why i blog

I blog rather a lot encase people hadn't noticed. Today i started to wonder why. Its not like my blog is read by millions or shapes the way that people do things. Its not themed its all just a bit random.

Then it hit me.

I blog for me.

The fact other people see it is a by-product.

I blog as a diary which says nothing yet everything at the same time. I see a picture and it stirs a memory. I see a post and i remember that day. It brings a smile to my face when i read my older posts. No one knows me better than me and when i send my thoughts into cyberspace in my blog and then rediscover them at a later date it can be like something written by a stranger who i can identify with.

Look up


What things do u miss by staring at your feet, the pavement, your phone, your shopping, your hand curled tightly in your pocket, yours shoes?

My lovely bruised shin i was talkin about earlier in the week

I like the cinema


Back when cinema tickets were green. went to the cinema today and was a tad gutted not to get a proper ticket.

Water for Elephants

I know its Robert Pattinson but i really want to see this but i doubt the local cinema will show it cause its a little rubbishy. Hardly ever go to the cinema anymore although have been like twice in the last week. Its a nice we social night out.

CRAVING!!!!

I keep finding blog pictures of American style cookies on tumblr and the like and I'm having a major craving right now =/

Hagen Daz

i have this right now and its amazing, even if it doesn't belong to a country.

Beastly

Went to see this in the cinema today and i actually really enjoyed it. Would have quite happily turned round and gone back into see it again as soon as it finished. It was on the whole really well acted asides from a couple of really cringe worthy bits. I thought it was really sweet and awwish. Dont think K liked it as much as me though. Ill need to read the book now.

Shelf

Painting with this stuff is how i imagine painting with tipex would be. It stinks to the high heavens. It actually says on the tin it helps erode the atmosphere and ive been inhaling it for 45 minutes, that doesn't seem healthy.

The carrot man

When i was in tesco at like 10 at night there was a man infront of me at the checkout and his entire trolley was full to the top with discounted bags of carrots. Never in my life have i wanted to break the "dont talk to strangers" rule more and ask him if he owns loads of rabbits, or a donkey sanctuary or if hes just planning on living on carrot soup for the rest of his days.

Wish id asked now

Test =/

I have studied like mad and have now reached the conclusion that if tomorrow doesnt go well then it doesnt go well. I might get hit with an absolutely crap set of questions in which case i might fail but unless the questions are utterly horrific i should be ok. Wish me luck =]

Going to see this tomorrow!!

Sadly excited. =]

Tents


Seeing pictures like this on the staff page for canvas get me all excited about my coming summer season.

Wee tiny amazon splurge

Bought :

Dawn of the dead cause for some reason im a gorey horror film mood.

Seven

The Prestige

What is it about this film that makes me sooooo tired when i watch it? Its hardly a relaxing film.

Sound like me?


Summer '11


This is where i want to end up this Summer for working. So excited about going out though i really dont care where i end up this year. Somewhere in the north of France would be good as i dont know how we'll i'd cope with the heat further south. Not long now thou think its about ten weeks. And got a cheeky wee holiday in Gran Canaria between now and then aswell. This summer is shaping up to be a good one. So excited =]

My last fm

Last three months Ive obviously been feeling the girl power on my spotify. So sad spotify isn't going to be installed on my computer for much longer. Ten hours a month is not enough and only five listens of each song, youtube will be getting used more frequently again.

Things that make today better than yesterday


  • Thought i had another slide show to revise and it turned out it was a set of revision notes. SCORE!!
  • I actually did something vaguely productive this morning unlike yesterday where i spend the majority of my day watching a four hour long biblical epic (i dont know why which is the worrying part)
  • It sunny and i have summary tunes on my TV
  • After tomorrow im pretty much finished uni
  • Feeling confident about this test - code for " i know enough that i can hopefully waffle my way through it"
  • Feeling alot more human than i was yesterday
  • Had a guilty long lie.
  • SUMMMERR!!

I do not have kids. I do not want kids. Kids are fine as long as they are someone elses and you can hand them bk if they cry but the clothes are so cute. We used to gather round the delivery in Adams when i worked there and go Awwwww at how small the baby shoes were.
Sense of achievement from lighting all four candles with one match, usually takes me at least three.

I'm going to make scones on the day of the royal wedding. Feeling all British for once rather than just Scottish.
Cant decide whether to watch In Bruges or The Notebook. Not much difference really.

Jealous ? =p

Too sexy for his own good sometimes =p Think he scared himself.

Get me the menu for this place and i will eat it all!!!!!!

Wedding


I'm sadly excited about the Royal Wedding. Its such a national occasion that will be a day in history. The marriage of possibly our future king and queen. I want bunting......

I think i have an obsession


They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

Awesomeness

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air

Oh yeah too cool!!

At some point yesterday while ripping my room to bits i have evidently cracked my shin off something giving myself a massive bruise. The same bruise i just cracked off the ladder in my bathroom to which i said, ouch!

Sanity ?

Walking around on campsite in a foriegn country in the dark by myself

LA LA LA LA LAAAA

Tiniest noise in my bedroom at night in a locked house

AHHHHHH MURDERER!!!!!

Mine, mine!!

Its bad times when u ask - your real wall or your facebook wall?
"Wow, you've got a very clean inbox!"
See the things i do for you =]

Amazing when your tired. If i ever look stones its probably because Ive rubbed my eyes cause Ive forgotten Ive got make-up on.

I wonder who those prats are in the park

Twitter!

Was wondering what would happen if i let the people who follow me make all the decisions in my life via twitter. Simple decisions like sandwich or toast eliminated from my life. Should find me some nice followers or if i ever decide to do this it could go terribly.

Kina Grannis and David Choi - The Way You Are - Music Video

Fresh Cushelle koala advert - SCA



I just think the koala is so cute, cant help myself =]

Cookie the Little Penguin at the Cincinnati Zoo

There are so many good films on at the cinema at the moment.

Saw red riding hood, was a bit mince but two rather hot men

Still want to see:
1) Insidious (probably spelt wrong)
2) Source code
3) Beastly
4) Pirates of the Carribean 4 !!!!!

How do u describe someone who's not really a friend ?

- Someone from uni
-Someone i work with
-Someone i know
-Friend of a friend

When does someone change from being just someone you know to being a friend?
I have cinema tickets from when they were

a) Green

and

b) Four pounds!!

Weather!

I actually love the weather the way it is tonight. All close in and slightly rainy and even thou its dark its still warm and damp. It reminds me of being in France. The weather was always like this, especially at night. Feels all reminiscent.

1) Try marmite

"Eat Marmite? You don't just want to eat it, you want to bathe in it, wallow in it like a hippo in mud, slather yourself from head to toe and wrap yourself in bread and butter... And you know what? That's fine. Just fine. Completely normal in fact..."

I highly doubt this will be my opinion but i feel i should try it just to say i have.

Its bad when you do something and instantly think, i could blog about this !

Enrique Iglesias - Hero

<3

Im a student what can i say

When you get to the counter and its actually 50% off or when you go into Tescos to buy something and its on offer - Awesome!

Every little helps, especially since i have a holiday to pay for now to.

I gave you a strawberry cream, i hope you know how special that makes you =]

Emo child does not enjoy swings =[

Storage


My big box for all the stuff i dont need for uni anymore. At this rate i may well need storage for my storage. Sits in the end of my wardrobe just perfectly.

The apron speaks the truth

Britains got something alright

Home from work and gutted to realise i missed Briatins got talent. So itv player it is

Micheal Mcintyre (MM) has the most infectious laugh ever.

The Hoff - when his opening funny line is he hopes the talent is "hoff the charts" youve got to worry.

Amanda Holden, Lovely as always

Let the series comence

Mary - Bless her. Gets all confused about who amanda holden is an thinks shes Johanna Lumley from Ab Fab, knows who Hoff is ( always good), MM lulls her into thinking he's simon cowell. This could be interresting. And sort of it when she starts jumping in circles with a harmonica.

Simon Impression <3

Compilation - Man in a headdress, woman in dressing gown, man who looks like he should work in a funeral home (Who killed the tune, ba boom ba cha), Audience sing song,

David Knight - A 9 year old, comedian. Bless

Ahhhh Gold man!!! Poor Micheal he buzzes one person and they storm off.

Donelda (the two lovely collies): amanda - oh lok theyre so clever *claps*

Compelation - marshal arts, street dancer looking types, woman with hoops ( amazing hair ) massive dance troupe,

Blue Man (why is everyone painted?) - "im a dolphin" wtf?!?

UFO - "so fricken bad"

Morris Dancers and Tongue in Cheek - nice people but not all that good

Steven Hall - Epic!!! I was not expecting that, but that was good!

Eye popping guy - What the hell!

"I may have been born yesterday but i stayed up all night" eh?

Tiny dancer !!!

Micheal (Orange hoodie guy) - i dont see this being good. OMG!!!!! Im a bad person, hes amazin!! Genuinely lovely guy to.

Gay and Allen - meet in a recorder class and going to ring hand bells? Oh dear. They are a happy couple, you can see it on their faces and an audience sing song to boot.
"Here come the irish, diddly dee potato!"

Half way through painting it before i had decided what pattern i was going to put on it.


Finished one. Productive use of my time in sure.

Yummy yummy

One of the lovely selection boxes i got for my birthday. Took me ages to find the little key thingy that tells me which chocolate is which. They were awfully yummy once i found out what each one was.

Awesome sauce

When i go out for a meal i am usually starving by the time i've ordered and there's something amazing about seeing a waiter or waitress striding towards you with a tray held high and that look about them that say, yip this ones yours, the thing you've been waiting for.

Peace love and storage


Love this advert combines comedy and storage loves it!
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATCRAB!!!
