Avoiding the procrastina-train

You may not have noticed this yet, but I like to use lyrics or puns as my titles. And yes, the blog post is about my blogging laziness as of late (no posts in more than a week. Not a good starting point. :c ). I should've made a post ages ago, but I just haven't had something to talk about.

I need to warn you all that more inactivity is a-coming your way. I will be in Germany on an Exchange for a week, and may not do a post 'til Monday or Tuesday-ish. I hope you don't hate me for this awfully short and stupid post, but I'll see you around!

Have a nice week without me!

Emotions and honesty

You know that emotions have all sorts of stimuli? Smells, tastes, sounds, etc. Well, all of these trigger emotions that are somehow linked to it. For example, when I smell cinnamon, I am immediately reminded of Winter. When I smell candy floss, I think of a friend of mine who always smells like candy floss. That's not a bad thing, mind, just something I've noticed.

I'm talking about emotions today, because someone dear to me has been having a bad day, so I told them to listen to sad music and cry. It always helps to just let it go, and cry until you're papery white and dried out.
Songs that always set me off are;
  • Winter by Joshua Radin
  • Sesame Street (Sunny Days) by Joshua Radin
  • How to Save a Life by the Fray
I tell my friends to always be honest about the way that they feel about me and other things, because it may seem hard to be honest at first, but then it all works out. Honesty is the reason why I am so bitchy at times. But hey! It'll work out in the future, and even if at the moment I am bossy, bitchy, demanding, whiny, annoying and brutally honest, I will get better.

3 days, followers! 3 days!
Have a nice week!

Harry Potter and looking good

Anyone who read my About Me knew that this was coming. I mean, what can you expect of a girl who is going to dress up as Hedwig for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1?
Yes, I am an utter nerd who cares about the way they look. Yes, I will look silly in my over-sized hoodie, yellow beak and handmade bag with letters inside. And no, I am not completely insane. Maybe only a tiny bit. (:
I will look cute. I hope so, anyway. If I make a fool of myself, I'm cool with that. It's not that I don't like looking good, I just like to be able to make a fool of myself once in a while. It's healthy.

Today, I felt like having a go at all the girls who think that looks are much more important than being able to write their own names. Sure, you may be superbly 'cool' and 'popular', but my dear, shallow friends, you are indeed quite stupid. For exampe;
Who on earth would wear shorts without tights when you can see your breath outside? Who would act all girly and simpering around boys? Really?

Okay, maybe this is why I'm not going out with someone, but why should I be fake around guys to get them to like me? Is there something great about a relationship that is based on lies? Am I not getting something, here? Maybe it is a mistake telling people my opinion but, at least I don't change to get a boyfriend.

It's ridiculous. Good god.
I promise I won't rant next time, at least I mentioned Harry Potter, right?
Have a nice Sunday evening! x

Ch-ch-changes

I've noticed recently that a lot of my friends are experiencing change, or thinking about change. Not in a bad way, of course, but it made me think of those who really can't bear change. I know someone like that. She always denies change, and does not wish to change. She also believes that change is a bad thing, and I'm trying to convince her that it isn't.

For example, a few things have changed for me recently, with a positive outcome:
  • I am more confident
  • I actually feel pretty
  • My favorite drink from Starbucks is the Peppermint Mocha
  • I am happy
And yet, she doesn't believe me that sometimes change is beneficial. I'll get her one day. (:
Anyhoo, I recommend that you try the Peppermint Mocha. It tastes like liquid After Eight, (only not Nestle.) and warms you right up.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.
Have a nice Saturday!

Homework

I know you may hate me for bringing up this topic, and you'll probably think that I'm nerdy because I think this, but, I believe that homework is actually quite good. But if the teacher doesn't explain it properly, it sucks.

Despite me being buried in it most days, I think it helps get the stuff into your head when you don't get it. I've been doing maths homework recently, (joy of joys) but sometimes I have realised that they set this homework without any explanation. It's just 'Do it or get in trouble,' and that really sucks.
You see, at the moment, I am really stuck on my history homework, but my teacher told me that I just have to research Trench Warfare. This is not what it says on the front sheet though. Ugh, sorry to rant so soon into my blog, but it's so irritating.

Hope you had a nice Sunday!

Coffee Puns

I went into the city today to meet up for a friend's birthday party. We went shopping and had pizza. Simply brilliant. After lunch we went to a number of shops, New Look, Topshop and whatnot (you know, those shops were tall, thin people shop.) to try on shoes and buy something nice if we saw anything. Well, going into those shops puts a damper on my confidence.

Afterwards, we went to Starbucks to get some coffee. My friend who bought the coffee went to get someone, so I picked up her coffee for her. And as I did I said, 'Thanks a latte!' like the utter nerdy idiot that I am. The guy laughed and said, 'That's grande!' Or something along those lines. :)

It made me so happy that afterwards I had a little skip in my step. I am so pathetically easily pleased by little things. I told another friend of mine to say, 'Oh, sorry, I left my spare change in my other pair of mochachinos,' the next time he bought coffee or something from Starbucks. He just laughed and said, 'Scrubs, eh?'
If he won't, I will.
No, I mean it. I actually will.
