Blogvent Calendar - Day 2 - Hardy Har Har

It is probably best not to inform the chicken that I don't like eating turkey....

Blogvent Calendar - Day 1 - How early is too early?

Whatever time you begin preparing for Christmas, it always seems that people are irritated by what others do. If you leave things until last minute, you get frowned upon and lectured on how you should have things sorted by now and if you begin in the middle of the year, you get told, "it's too early", "it's not Christmas time yet".

So bloody what?

If I want to eat candy canes in the middle of June and play Christmas songs in November, it's my choice. Generally, people seem to wait until December but I'm way too impatient for that! Christmas is exciting and I think that if you want to start celebrating early, go for it! At least you're not the miserable one condemning others for having fun!

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!

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.
