2023, Healing
Working in retail sucks, it’s a daily grind of tracking performance, cleaning up after people and talking people into things they might not want/need. I wanted to quit. I have a degree, I don’t need this goddamn it! I watched the mock debate episode of The Newsroom and massively identified, to do what I love…
We got our nails done. meow.
I have combination skin and it is really annoying. I’ve used Nutrogena’s pink grapefruit scrub for a while now and it’s been great, except now it isn’t working. I follow a pretty strict facial routine morning and night, don’t wear a lot of makeup, but still my skin is oily! I thought maybe makeup might…
This is a really long text blog. Don’t read it. I can actually remember the moment when I realised how much power they hold, I was watching an episode of Sister Sister, the one with the stolen slam book. If you’ve seen Mean Girls, it was basically that but on a smaller more contained scale. For those…
I just received this. I have so many feelings. How do you thank someone for something so awesome? I’m too overwhelmed to open it, he really wants to tear the wrapping off and play. He’s so awesome.
So I’m an adult. I still don’t believe that I’m an adult. When did I stop being a kid and become an adult? I don’t remember that day, I didn’t check the box saying yes I accept these changes. I didn’t authorise this transformation, I wasn’t ready! I need more time. I can barely feel…
I guess I ran away with the Meet the Pyro hype train (worth it by the way) and I totally missed that Google I/O 2012 was a thing. Someone care to catch me up? I’m in r/android trying to get all the news I can.
I bought a new phone. The Samsung Galaxy Note. It is phenomenal, that is all.
Blocked creatively, it’s really frustrating.
I’m so behind on my shows. Game of Thrones Mad Men Once Upon a Time Cougar Town …. Uhh. 2 Broke Girls SNL All my Sunday morning cartoons I’m just sitting busy. Gah!
I applied. I sent it. I did it. It’s done, out of my hands. NOW TO WAIT. nnnngggh.
Every year I have little to no interest in the Eurovision Song Contest and every year I get suckered into watching it. This years winner was an awesome entry by Sweden and when I heard it I fell in love. This years entry had less cheese which was pretty cool. But the one thing I…
I mean, I knew all this rowing business was a big deal, but I didn’t realise it was such a big deal. This was my first rowing experience, it was pretty awesome. Had a lot of fun!
I am addicted to images of nebulas. Space is really freaking cool.
I’m not entirely sure what’s happened. I’ve started aiming to be in bed by 11pm-midnight, asleep by latest 1am. It’s been working-ish bar a few late night distractions. Allowing myself about 7 hours sleep this was supposed to be an awesome way to get myself into a more reasonable sleep/wake routine. I hate coming home…
I started my application process for a job in Seoul. … I am freaking terrified.
After the worst possible customer services I’ve ever recieved I was urged to contact their head office directly. They replied promptly and they actually followed through which was nice. I mean I’ll never go back there, at least not any time soon. But maybe I will go back at some point. This is customer services done…
This movie is phenomenal. I’m always a little wary of calling myself a comic book fan because I’ll get tested and I’m pretty sure I’ll fail on the most basic cannon. I like comic books, I have a few of them laying around (none that are worth anything mind you). I wrote a dissertation paper…
I had an appointment with Toni & Guy but then it fell through. I cancelled the appointment, tweeted about it and then I was contacted by their Twitter Customer Services. This is what I sent to them, let’s see what happens next? I recently tweeted about a poor experience I had at one of your stores and…
The hilarity. This is my new favourite word. I can’t rememeber the last time I’ve seen a piece of print and had to stop and take a picture because it was so … amazeballs. I’m not a sure how effective this campaign is, or if it is a campaign.
Tesco’s Value range have been around since 1993 and have been easily identifiable by their bold red, white and blue striped and simple packaging. For a while it was kinda embarrassing to buy Value products then once the recession hit everyone it became cool to be frugal and Value products jumped in popularity again. Well, in my circles…
I’m always a bit wary of discussing what it feels like being a woman in a male dominated environment. Why? Because regardless of what I say or how I try to phrase my thoughts it’ll either come across as whiny or entitled. I’m neither and I’m not about to flog a dead horse today, I…
The first thing people ask me is where I work now that I’ve graduated and I always reply meekly, “Oh just retail”. Four years of university and I’m still working in retail. Gah. I’ve held on to a lot of shame. Shame that I failed to achieve the grades I wanted, shame that I let…
Game is going under and honestly I’m not surprised. Here & Here explain just how bad it’s become. I used to work in GAME and I think part of the problem is that they don’t actually offer anything else to the gamer besides videogames. They’re a video game store you cry, what else can they offer?! Well…
With the recent female contraception debate/scandal/drama going on in the US women around the world need to stand together again to fight for our rights as people. This is maddening, 2012 and men are still debating women’s health by excluding them from the conversation. I came across this wonderfully written piece that eloquently conveys my…
I just pretty much spent the whole day doing productive internet things. o_____o Now I’m going to look at pictures of cats to remind myself why I do what I do.

I love jokes, I love banter. With my clan buddies we herp derp all the time making largely inappropriate jokes about each other’s genitalia, family members, sexual orientation, race, nationality and well the fact that I have boobs. It’s all in good fun, when we over step the mark we’re good at apologising and moving on….
Watching it again yesterday before bed was just wonderful. I love how the characters have no major depth, its simplicity just makes it more believeable for me. Romantic movies always try too hard to show some major struggle because adversity is romantic right? George and Ursala were just a man and a woman who fell in love and…
