In da house

So,

Ladies and gents. I am so sorry for being away for so long (whether you care or not I feel like I should apologise for my absence). But I handed in my dissertation not that long ago so I was totally bombarded with the fear and dread of that and then I thought you know what I will give myself a few days breather of doing nothing, absolutely nothing.

On my front just the same old same old worrying about my career. What will life be after university?Will I ever get the job I want? Will I ever make enough money to do all the stuff I want? Will I be happy in my career? Should I travel instead? Should I try living in a different country? Oh how the list is endless.

I kinda want to know what I want to do now but know that I should maybe just go with the flow. Which is such an odd concept to me I am such a planner the thought of going with the flow terrifies me. But I did read an interesting article in Elle the other day. It was saying how your 20s are known as a decade to just wait for your life to begin in your 30s is the wrong idea. The woman said that in fact your 20s are the years that you should be making moves to make your 30s amazing. You know what after I read that I realised she was kinda right I should be trying to make my 30s amazing doing loads of fun shiz in my 20s that I will remember for the rest of my life. So I can tell my kids and be like yeah man your mama was such a bad ass but she also worked her butt off so that we can live in this bees knees of a house. So just a catch up of my same old same old thought.


Peace and love and all that jazz :)

Love that line

So

I thought I would blog today about eye liner. This may be boring to some so for this I am truly sorry. So I cant really wear normal eye liner as for some unknown reason the corners of my eyes constantly leak (weird I know). So instead I am a firm lover of the liquid eyeliner. I usually just use a cheap one because the pen is really easy to use ( I can not use those eyeliners with a pot though- damn those things are too much hassle). Anyways I spend ages trying to get both my eyes just right to make sure they match perfectly. Ask anyone I live with or have lived with or getting ready for a night out with; I have to get people to double check that my eyes look even. People become very annoyed by it but there is nothing worse then making it out of your house without your face tools and realising that darn left eye doesn't flick as much. Like the most annoying thing EVER.

Today was a good eye liner day though. I had work so I put on my face bright and early and my eye liner got a little out of control than normal but I kinda liked it. I was suppose to go to a game today with friends but with the snow and all I decided the best bet was bed with a cup of tea. However I feel like I have let the world down by not showing off my good eye liner for today (proper over exaggeration just so you know I don't think I'm that fantastico). So since not that many people saw it today I thought I would put a cheeky snap of it on here so I can always remember my good eye liner day.

Damn that line is fiiiiiiiiiine

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

So,

Today while spending a saturday in the library with the roomie (I know we are just too wild for words!) we stumbled upon her friends new album called '2013 shine bright like a diamond'. Oh how we chuckled! So the meanie that she is she decided to make a beautiful image of a picture of me from yesterday in my white beanie (Don't judge me I have a gingerish afro so hats NEVER look good on me and it was a pure bargain and keeps the head toasty). Anyways the roomie then proceeded to write on the picture 'Shine bright like a diamond'. I know soooooooo fine!

So as a joke I said I would make a blog post about it. So that pretty much brings us to here right now.


Sorry ladies and gents for the crapolo blog post. I just need to now spend the evening thinking of a mothers day message to send to my mama.


Peace and love and all that jazz :)

Mail

So,

Nada really happened today. Except I have 20 days to finish writing up 5,000 words which I'm not a hundred percent sure is going to happen. Additionally my supervisor DID NOT get back to me today at all. So I guess I do have something to write about. REPLYING TO EMAILS!

Yes! It is so infuriating to email someone (when you are clearly in a tissy) and then to get no reply. The thing is I understand people could be busy and that they may be too busy to answer my question right that second but seeeeriously just reply with... "I'm sorry I'm busy right this momento I will get back to you later on today". That is it! That is all one needs to point their mind at ease.

So at this very momento I am raging about mail. JUST REPLY DAMN IT! It will make me feel like a hundred, billion times better. I now will have to panic about this until you reply.

Also, I'm realising this blog is getting boring. I'm not sure how to spruce it up. I have all these ideas floating around in my head which is usual for me. So I'm thinking my deadline is at the end of this month. I will keep posting what I can and try to make it as interesting as I can be. BUT after March I will make this blog the bees knees of all blogs (well now I feel I have set my heights too high, lets just say I will make this blog better than todays post!). So I really do hope you stick around to see what happens.


Peace and love and all that jazz :)

What a mug

So,

This is kinda a pathetic post I do know that before I write it. But today my fav mug broke. I used to think it was so odd that my roomie had a fav mug but now I get it. I have two favourites depending how much tea I can have. Usually using the big'un in the morning and the smaller one for the rest of the day. But today the small one broke! I am devastated.

Therefore this is a R.I.P cupcake mug post. I wished that you would of followed me into the second stage of my life but I guess I will have to leave you here when I move home. But you will always be a sweet memory of my times here. So thank you cupcake mug.


By the way I understand I seem like a complete mug for writing a post about a mug. But what is life you if you can't use your blog to write about the pointless stuff in your day to day that kinda get to you. Anyways tomorrow will be a fun filled day of picking out a new mug! Canne wait!

Skinny love

So,

I was just sitting down and decided to traipse through my tumblr. I follow a lot of interesting people on there. I have found that a lot of the people I follow are quite insecure but the majority of the stuff they post I do really like so I continue to follow.

But one just posted:

"Skinny.
Thigh Gap.
Collar Bones.
Hip Bones.
Ribs.
Flat Stomach
Skinny"

I know this bit now may sound like part rant. But it really scares me that young girls and possible guys want to be this skinny. You can't be something that you can't be. Its not about being obese is better than being skinny. But you can definitely be blissful even at a weight that works for you. I tried the skinny once and yea clothes did fit me a little better but I hated not being able to eat the things I wanted to eat. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't be conscious of these factors for health reasons. I don't know I just find it quite upsetting that people really care that much about being skinny. At the end of the day no matter how cheesy it may sound if you love yourself then someone else will love you. Also if you love yourself who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks. You should think your the bees frickin knees everyday because you probably are. Of course there are days when the bees aren't buzzing but you know what we all have our off days but just be optimistic about the situation. Why spend hours thinking about what weight you could be when you could just be living the life you have.

I dont know its just my thoughts and worries. I hope I haven't offended anybody and if I have I am sorry. I do just kinda think that as long as you are healthy and happy who should care what you weigh.

Shoes, shoes, shoes

So,

Today I got myself some new kicks! I've wanted some puma suedes for like forevs ever since nike blazers became the bees knees. So since I can not justify spending the money on the blazers (regardless of how fit they are). I managed to squeeze my big ass feet into the junior size of these bad boys. Can I hear a "Baaaargain!". So I am dead chuffed about this new purchase.

I'm thinking I am going to wear them all the time. They look super cute for the summer with a nice pair of short shorts. I think they will look nice with dresses as long as it is the right shape. I'm thinking skater type style dresses. Also I love the look when people wear flowery dresses with a pair of nice trainers. This purchase makes me both excited for the summer and for the winter. Can never go wrong with a black trainer with a white sole with a pair of high waisted dark jeans in my humble opinion.


Right so here these beauts are.
Your jealous I know. I don't blame you.

Peace and love and all that jazz :)


Tardiness

So,


I realise I didn't write anything yesterday! Terrible behaviour really!! I was going to its usually my evening ritual (well for the last few days that I've started this bad boy). Anyways my main biatch came over last night and we just caught up on some goss and drank tea and then had a sleepover. It probably sounds pretty boring but it is kinda like re living being 12 again except I remember eating a lot more sweets and shit when I was younger. Tea is much more sophisticated.

Thats pretty much where I am at with life at the momento. I'm hoping to get a camera soon and start taking some snaps at least then this could be a some what entertaining read.

Peace and love and all that jazz

Paps

So,

Today has been a tough day. None of my statistics would go right today and yet another day of dreading what I'm going to do with my future. So my first phone call goes to my madre but we argue a lot and yet another calm and rational conversation turns into a heated battle between two stubborn beings. BUT then I call wee paps who is always a cutie and helps me though anything and always keeps me optimistic and sane. So this is a dedication to my love of my paps. Just because he always shows me his unconditional love and support and really means it. He is always there to put a smile on my face when I'm feeling a wee bit down in the dumps.

I just want to point out I love my mama too she is the reason I am the way I am. I love my paps because he always loves me and for that I always love him and he keeps me at one with who I am. I am so lucky to have both my parents and their love even if there are some non conventional methods of love. I never don't appreciate them being around and always wanting to love me for who I am. I suppose one can not ask for more in life than to be loved by the people that you love in return.


I guess this post is more about Love but family love and how grateful I am for it...


Sorry for the sappy post it was needed at this time.

Peace and love and all that jazz :)

I already want to delete my previous post!

So,

I'm regretting posting that previous and pointless post. I am already regretting it! I seriously think I may have some anxiety issues. Anyways on another note while trying to procrastinate on getting shit done I ended up stumbling across the band 'Daughter'. I just started listening to the song 'youth' after listening to 'Dreamer' by 'Tallest man on earth'. I would just like to point out how beautiful this song is I just find it soothing and her voice is so peaceful and soft.

There is no better feeling than finding a song by complete and utter surprise and you LOVE it! I am seriously desperate to find some new music to top up my ipod with I'm so bored of my old tunes. If anyone has any suggestions of any good songs at the moment please let me know! I am open to try any song it may not end up being my fav song but it may be so why in hell not give it a shot. You never know right? :)


By the way I just love the last chorus its so amazing! Aaaaaah I can not even explain how happy that I discovered this band today. Made my day for realz!


"And if you’re in love, then you are the lucky one,

‘Cause most of us are bitter over someone"


You should definetly have a listen! :)

Today

So,

Today not much has really happened to be honest. I did though have an awesome experience trying wigs on with my mate. I think I'm definitely going to buy one now! I feel like this needs to happen. I just LOVE the thought of being able to change a whole outfit without actually damaging any of your hair which is sweeeeeeeeeeet!

I feel like this is going to be a short entry because nothing exciting really happened today. I just had the same dilemmas as every. What am I going to do with my life? Where am I going to live? It is literally and on going battle. I was also thinking that maybe I could put on here what fashion I am into at the momento. Stuff like that. Other than that I think I'm going to watch some more of 'Thats 70s show' just because I still LOVE it!


Peace and love and all that jazz

P.S. sorry for such a lame post today ladies and gents!

Life

So,

Today I had an odd thought. I feel like I'm getting older (which is how time works). But I feel like I'm wrong to not want to settle down and find the person to spend the rest of my life with. I feel like I have someone that loves me yet I cant seem to find the space in my heart to love them back. I feel so foolish for doing this! Like am I just selfish? Do I just not know what love is? Do I not love them? Am I well and truly fucked up? Does everyone feel like this? Am I just a complete and utter knob?

I constantly have these questions going round in my head. I go from panic that I am going to spend the rest of my life alone and not have kids and have the life I want. Then I go to the screw you why should I plan my life around someone. I'm young wild and free and I should be allowed to be just that. I don't want to look back on my life and think did I give up everything I ever wanted or could of wanted for someone that may not be worth it.

I just spend my days in a constant battle with my brain. Its like back and forth. I just don't know where I stand with life at the moment. I don't know where I want my life to go. I don't know where I want to be. I don't know who I want to be with. The sweet irony is all I want to do in my life is help other people. Help other people with their relationship problems (family or romantic or anything). Yet I cant even figure myself out. But maybe that is just the beauty of it all. Maybe when I look back on my life I will be like I had the time to not be sure to not know where life will take me and maybe thats one of those beautiful and poetic things that you always see in movies when you've got white hair, you sit in rocking chairs, admiring your grandchildren reflecting on your life. When I was quite young all I wanted to do was be old I just thought it was cute and adorable and I could be one of those sassy old people that you kinda love for being so brutally honest but so loving at the same time. But as I age I am terrified! I do know that is normal... I just wish I had a playbook for life sometimes but then where would the questions be?


Peace and love and all that jazz :)


P.S. as you can still I am still trying to find my feet with this blog thingy. I don't know whether I should make it about my thoughts, fashion or agony aunt. There I go again I cant even figure out what I want to do with my blog let alone life! :)

Summer summer time

So,

I am SO excited for summer!!! Like I can not control how excited I am. Today was a somewhat sunny day and I kept getting these random moments of true joy that summer is on its way!

I just cant wait to be prancing around in short shorts, listening to happy acoustic music. On the note of music I am so into this song again (Video at the bottom) I just cant get enough of Solange it just makes me want to dance and be relaxed all at the same time! Anyways Ive been listening to a lot of old songs that kind of remind me of my youth where I would spend the whole summer just hanging out with my mates doing pointless stuff but seemed like the most important things in the world (which looking back makes me smile). Like the 10cc Dreadlock Holiday, this song will always remind me of my best mate we always dance to this at parties (random I know).  Ive just got that summer feelings!!!


I just need to be out in the sun getting my TAN on! Like pronto! If I could only type my excitement I would be summer couldnt come fast enough. I cant wait to sit back and just read some books. I think this summer calls for 'The Silver Linings Playbook' I also want to read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' I read 'The Kite Runner' last year and I loved it so much. So those are my plans! Have you got anything awesome planned for summer? Or any tunes like always remind you of summer time? ( I think I will post some more of my favourite tunes for summer as a I go along).


Peace and love and all that jazz :)

A start of a new...

So,

This is the beginning of my blogging life. Just a heads up I am ridiculously crap-olo at spelling and grammar etc.

Anyway, I thought I should start a blog because why the hell not I'm young and this is what one does when they are young they do what ever they want because they want to. I am also starting this new thing where I try things that I would normally be too scared to do. So here I am blogging...

I kinda felt like I should do this while listening to If I had a boat by James Vincent McMorrow (hence the url for the blog). I also just witnessed THE most amazing bag on urban outfitters sale website (http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/j-by-jas-mb-ipad-clutch/invt/5771402343333/ ) I think I have fallen in love with a clutch. Who knew!!!


Thats it for now. Hopefully I can make this interesting and witty and a new experience but I probably doubt I will be any of the first two points but at least I can tick new experience off my list!


Peace and love and all that jazz :)
