Whatever the WAYT We Want

@ lonely girl.
I mean I do enjoy living, yes. But you live dangerously. I do not.

@ dawn of light
I've done that many times and now I've cut that out. But it still creeps back in and I mentally slap myself for it. Redirect the angst somewhere else is my suggestion!

@ kitsch
It always creeps back in and I don't know why

My guy probably thought I was crazy or just really peppy

@ bona drag.
That'd definitely make people wanna visit. And there's the pigeons that only have one foot. Those pigeons make me so sad, there's so many of them around here. Yeah, you guys all had the idea, we were sitting up here in the very north thinking we'd actually get what the government promised us and look how that's went. I think everybody bar London (and even then, it's debatable) hates governments. We have a reason though. We're not just sceptical for nothing.

Aw god, and we're sitting with heavy snow at the moment! I didn't even think I burned until I went somewhere that got actual sunshine and went lobster red because I was an idiot. Fingers crossed that you'll get something! See, I got that a lot in the Netherlands. I mean, the UK isn't that great. It's not exactly a place you want to stay for the rest of your life. People keep looking at me like I'm an idiot when I say I wanna move to do a postgrad in another country that isn't within the UK but seriously? They don't know. They don't know it like we do.

@ lonely girl.
I hate acrylics, all of my shirts in sixth year of school were covered in the stuff and for some reason it never came off and I wasn't about to buy a whole new bunch of school shirts just for the remaining 7 months or whatever I had left. I've got a particular affinity for watercolours, I just love the way you can mix with those. I also used to have these really cool watercolour pencils where you could shade in roughly then go over them with brush loaded with water and it'd look awesome. I don't know where those pencils went. I think my mum might've thrown them out.

Yeah, it's my last year so I've got a bunch of classes. I've got a dissertation to write () and I've also got a creative music project to do, so I'm writing a piece of orchestral music for it, but we'll see how far I get with that, considering I have 8 bars of a violin lead and nothing else. I've also got a class next semester (or this semester, whatever, I don't know when the semesters change anymore) that's all about overdubbing movies, so I'm really exited for that one. I've not been in the recording studios in like 2 years, so it'll be great to get back into it again!

@ nearly witches.
Hey, I'm only passing around currency ideas here. I was never hired to be minister of tourism. I did see a magpie in the city once and I was so concerned for it. I was like, "Are you lost? Do you need directions back to the countryside? Are you just in for a visit to see the sights?" Come on, you knew the government was shady as. All you had to do was ask Northern Ireland.

It's 23 degrees and sunny, which is lovely at first until you burn your bare feet on the deck. Now I'm just like fuck this, I'll go out there at night when this isn't a possibility. Everyone thinks that the UK is that lovely stereotypical image on television. It's just tea and Notting Hill and everyone acts like Tom Hiddleston, but it's not. We fucking gave The Only Way Is Essex a BAFTA once for christ's sake.

Awkward moment when I just recommended my own profile without even knowing it
and Mibba won't let me undo it!

Making my brother play Undertale because I at least want somebody in this family to talk about it with me.

@ bullets are hailing.
I just downloaded that. I was thinking about starting it tonight

@ losing control.
You should.

I replayed it this week and did pacifist once again. Still enjoyed it and still was emotional.

@ kitsch
I don't live ~dangerously~. The closest to danger I've been this year is three spiders in my shower. Daddy long legs, mind you.

@ nearly witches.
I love watercolour, but am pretty amateur with my use of them. At least I can mix acrylics and make some half decent looking.
My watercolour pencils are pretty dull, unfortunately. You really need to press the colour in for it to be any good, and even then if you press too hard there's a bunch of marks left over.

Oooh, sounds exciting! The overdubbing, at least. I know you've been dreading your dissertation for a while now. Good luck!

@ dawn of light
Regardless, you can overcome this.

Crazy peppy. In a good way.


@ lonely girl.
That's horrific. Way more danger than I encounter in my daily life, I'm sure.

@ bona drag.
I think you should be though. I'd totally rather have some birds (even if it is seagulls and one-legged pigeons) on my currency than fancy-assed old men in wigs. Haha! We get magpies all the time, but I live next to a huge park anyway so maybe they live in there? I don't know. We had our suspicions but I think most of the country were giving them the benefit of the doubt. Now we are absolutely not. There's talks of a second referendum if they try and drag us out of the EU, but we'll see if that's actually happening.

Burning your feet is the worst as well, that sucks ass. When it got really warm during the summer in the Netherlands, I basically turned into a vampire too, so I don't blame you there. Exactly, everybody thinks we're all happy and smiley and BBC-inspired pronunciation. They don't see the news / chavs / general disrepair that is actual UK. Also, we did not give TOWIE a BAFTA, did we? Jesus.

@ lonely girl.
Oh, I'm crazy amateur at using them. I'm best with acrylics, I just can't hack them.
The ones I had were absolutely incredible, and I'm so sad that I can't find them now because I feel like if I get new ones, I'll end up ruining my good image of them.

I've helped out at the showcases for the Honours year stuff for the past few years, and they always have these really cool overdubs, so I'm excited to see what the clip is for this year. Thanks, I'll need it! I can do everything else, the dissertation stuff is just driving me nuts. Mainly because I just hate doing research where I have to talk to actual real life people.

When you're trying to do patient research and instead you end up coming up with an idea for a tattoo that you really want to get If I still think it's a good idea in the summer I may actually get it

@ nearly witches.
Oh yes, hire me to be minister of tourism. That's a brilliant idea. What could possibly go wrong? "Do you like to get accosted by illiterate young gentlemen in tracksuits outside of Greggs? Do you long for overcast skies and dirty streets? Do you love sitting in traffic for hours on end and loud construction noise at unreasonable times of the day? Then book your trip to Great Britain now!" I actually like that the coins go together like puzzle pieces. I can do without Adam Smith on the currency though. You can take him back. He's Scottish. He shouldn't be on my banknotes. Replace him with Isaac Newton's hair. I honestly believe within my lifetime I will see the dissolution of the United Kingdom. Other people say no, but I say if Scotland makes it out, it's going to be a catalyst.

I want to go sit on the deck in the mornings and have my coffee, but the sun beats down on that side of the house and I manage to sit there for about three minutes before I go, y'know what, I can enjoy the view from the kitchen window all the same. It's not worth burning my thighs over. Dude, TOWIE won a Youtube Audience Award in 2011. Even better, Made in Chelsea has won a BAFTA too. We produce such high quality entertainment.

@ bona drag.
I'm not even a part of this conversation but HEY I'd pay to witness such a spectacle. From the safety of a good vantage point!

My condolences on those half-baked "awards." Both of those shows are like our "Young & the Restless" and "Days of Our Lives." Tragic.

@ bona drag.
Hey, it'd be better than the lying sack of shit adverts we've got just now that probably completely disappoint everybody. Like, the Visit Scotland one is all dreamy music and shots of the Highlands and then people come to Glasgow and are like "lol where are all the trees?" and it's terrible. What it should be showing is the fact that you can't walk along a street in Glasgow without seeing a poor homeless person, being insulted by a shower of neds and having to sidestep to avoid the huge crowds of goths in Central station. I feel like your realism would do millions for us. See, I like that about the coins, I just think our notes are ridiculous. I mean, I swap between English and Scottish notes depending on what ATM I go to (for some reason the Barclay's banks only issue English notes, which is good if I'm going to England because it means I can get money that I can actually spend, instead of being told that my money is not money when it actually is ) and I don't like either. I think we need a total overhaul. I think all of ours are Scottish folks though. I'm going to check when I next get a hold of a twenty and a five. Smith was born in Kirkcaldy, I don't want him either. I think I'll see it as well. I know that a bunch of my dad's Welsh friends said there was a lot of talk of them following suit if we managed to get out. As long as we don't leave the EU, I think we'll be alright. If we leave, then the SNP's gonna kick up so much shit and try for a second referendum anyway because I think Scotland's largely pro-EU, so it'd be us voting for something we don't get again, which apparently is cause for us to have a second referendum. I don't know though. The first one caused so much hassle (the amount of abuse I got when I went to London last March was insane, I'm not even kidding) that I don't know if I want it to happen again.

I'd be the same, I can feel you there. When it was really warm in June last year (it was like 40 degrees, that's not even sane weather) we were all smoking in the kitchen and risking setting off the fire alarm because there was no way we were standing on the balcony burning ourselves for nicotine. No way. Oh my lord, they did? We need to sort out our priorities, none of those shows are good for watching unless you're absolutely fucking wrecked and want something to laugh at.

guys
GUYS
I HAVE INTENSE SALAD CRAVINGS
I REPEAT I HAVE INTENSE SALAD CRAVINGS
THIS IS NOT A DRILL

side note though as an attempt to lose weight before a wedding reception I'm going to on sunday, I've decided to cut sugar out of my diet (for the week, also extends to unhealthy snacks too apparently) and it's going well so far. In these two days that have passed. And I'm watching YTer's eat salads and now I'm down for a quinoa based leafy, chicken and red beans and feta and heaven on earth I'm getting a salad tomorrow. Or I'm making a big bowl at home and eating it always and forever. Okay. Salad rant over. Can't wait to gain the weight I may drop this week when I take advantage of the presumably free drinks. Lowkey there better be a bar tab at this thing bc mumma is getting CRUNK

I woke up 15 minutes before I had to be at the hospital for rounds today and I somehow managed to get here with 2 minutes to spare. I'm probably going to get a parking ticket though because I didn't have enough change to pay for parking for the whole day and I can't move my car until lunch I also had no time to put on makeup or deodorant so that's great

GUYS IF YOU WANT SOME GIGGLES, THEN PUT SOME MUSIC ON AND LOOK AT THIS GIF. RICK ASTLEY WILL DANCE TO YOUR MUSIC.



@ swell
Quinoa salad is literally the best thing on this planet, I can totally relate.
