Blogvent Calendar!

I'm finally BACK! 

So as you may have noticed, I have been absent for nearly 2 months now! This is partly because I just moved house but also because I wanted a break from blogging. So yes, my boyfriend and I just moved into our first apartment together and apart from the people above us who like to randomly bang every night (I have no idea WHY) and the heater being older than Jesus, it's awesome! This is a different subject though.

Now, as I have not been around for a while, I will treat you! I have decided that over advent, you get to open my Blogvent Calendar every day in the run up to Christmas. If you don't like Christmas, you're too miserable to be reading this. SRSLY. Too miserable. 

First post comes tomorrow!

*of course*

Sometimes, it is just not meant to be..

Doodle Dreams - HMV, Robb Stark and Chucky!

Nearly six months after my first Doodle Dreams post, where I mentioned that there would be a series of these posts, I have finally made a follow up!

In my last DD post, which can be found here, I mention all the weird things that I have dreamt about in the past. Many people see dreams as that boring topic which only tends to pop up in morning breakfast conversation. Personally, I find them fascinating. The mind truly is a wonderful thing when left to its own devices and even the least creative people can wake up to a crazy tale they just have to share!

So, my latest escapades are set in a shopping centre (or mall if it really is necessary for me to clarify this). I am joined by a friend from school who, in reality, I haven't seen for 10 years! Nice, normal, fun. 

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the...

Not today guard, not today!

Spider Wars!

I hate spiders.

Now many of you may agree with this statement but I don't hate them because I have a phobia. In fact, they don't bother me at all. I've had two grown men run out of a room because of a spider that I was left to deal with.

The problem is catching them.

With 8 hairy, long legs, they have the ability to run fast and reach places you could never imagine reaching. Most of the time if I spot a spider lurking on my wall before bedtime, I will leave it. Yeah, it could crawl in my mouth whilst I sleep and end up swimming in my stomach acid but hey, at least I wont have to battle it AND it gets the pretty grim death it deserves for trespassing in this temple. This one, however, was a little bit too big to ignore and it was above my bed, a little too close for comfort. The issue here though was reaching it. Sat high on the wall, it was sneering at me, expecting me to do the usual and leave it alone.

Not today spidey.

Blog Badge! *finally*

So my blog has grown up a little and got itself a badge/button/tiny little square that links you back to this blog.

*Shouldn't have been a headache, but it was!*

*Icky html*

*Had to create a Photobucket account*

Thankfully I found a great tutorial here. A little tip for you though if you try this tutorial: Where the finished html code says, "cols="40" rows="4" This will be the size of the code box underneath the badge. I recommend changing the "40" to a "20". This part gave me the headache. The code box was just too wide and I couldn't figure out how to change it!! THIS IS HOW!

You'll find the code in the sidebar. Please feel free to use it to spread the love! :0)

Fifty shades of Brown

Never in my life did I think I would have such an encounter. An encounter that would change all my perspectives on that of which my knowledge was already so vague.

It was a summer morning. The sun was beaming down, scorching all below it and dominating the sky with its radiant glow. I sought comfort in shaded areas that provided that much needed relief from the quite alien climate. This was when my eye caught his. A mere glimpse was all I needed to know that this would be a day quite unlike the others.

Don't stop me now!

Waking up this morning, I felt sweaty, groggy and tired! Another long night of fighting the warmth, this was the third time in a row that I had been subjected to this torture. As I lay there, the pillows all askew and the duvet crumpled in a pile on the floor, I started to remember what I had dreamt about.

Sitting there, on the floor, throughout the whole dream, I was contemplating how to tell the parents that I had failed my degree.

Not very eventful, by my standards of imagination, but damn when I woke up, I was convinced I had still failed... Until I realised that results aren't released until TODAY!

So I jumped up, pretty much tripping over the duvet to grab my laptop. My brother comes up to me with a letter from my university. I assured him its not my results as they were going online instead. So I start opening it, expecting it to be another boring reminder that there will be a graduation ceremony (pretty sure they've used a whole forest of paper to remind me).

I was wrong...

I freakin' PASSED!

A sexy little Marketing BSc(Hons).

So, I would like to congratulate anyone receiving any sort of results over the coming weeks, I'm sure you all did fabulously and if you didn't, don't ever let it beat you! I did awful at my A levels to the point of me holding back the tears and now look! Coming to the end of my education journey is rather sad as it has been pretty hard and long but I know the learning curve will never truly end. :]

What the lump you guys?

Adventure Time is awesome and if you don't agree, you obviously don't like fun.

This is my homage to the Lumpy Space Princess.

"No way. First, I'm gonna fall in love with one of those little guys, then I'm gonna fall out of love. And then I'm gonna totally fake die, of a fake heart attack! Oh, my heart! My heart hurts because I fell out of love! And now i have to die! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!"
