The Cons of Being A Wallflower

The Cons of Being A Wallflower

I notice a lot of things, how people act, how they react, the problems they have and the strains, just by watching them. I notice glances, tones, subtle shifts in personality and expressions. Being quiet and shy for most of my life has lead to me observing a lot of things most people might not … Continue reading

‘Accentuate The Positive’

‘Accentuate The Positive’

Previously I have posted pretty pessimistically in posts like Oh,Sadness I’m Your Girl and Optimus Prime versus Negatron. I would like to shake things up a bit with an attempt at an optimistic post. Hold on to your hats. Every day of my life is an immense struggle between thinking positively and negatively but I’m … Continue reading

The Gymtastic Book Club

The Gymtastic Book Club

Last week while I was browsing Gaelick (which I happen to write for, hey, you should check me out) I read a post on going to the gym, using apps to help lose weight and listening to books instead of music while you work out. I tried to get some audio books on my mobile … Continue reading

Did someone say Harry Potter?

Did someone say Harry Potter?

It’s been 8 months, almost a pregnancy, since the Harry Potter film franchise came to an end. I got tickets early, my round 3-D glasses are safely preserved (even though the last film had no right being in 3D) and I prepared myself as much as possible for the end, much like you might prepare … Continue reading

Respect for books

Respect for books

Where would all the bibliophiles be if it wasn’t for books? Personally, I have no idea. I was a painfully shy child and books,although this is cliché, were my best friends. I did projects on Roald Dahl and while other girls were obsessing over boys,I was busy obsessing over Harry Potter. There has always been … Continue reading

The written word versus the typed tirade

The written word versus the typed tirade

Most people these days will probably type articles and stories instead of writing them down on paper. It is faster and more efficient but doesn’t anyone miss writing down their thoughts on paper? I was nerdy enough to get excited about buying stationery for school and I loved going in to Eason and picking out … Continue reading

Optimist Prime vs. Nega(tive) Tron

Optimist Prime vs. Nega(tive) Tron

Today I’m pondering why I’m both optimistic (but mainly) pessimistic. Get out now if you don’t want a dampner on your fun Friday feelings. Previously I have admitted my love of being sad in a post titled ‘Oh Sadness,I’m Your Girl.’ This may be in the same vein as that post. In my day to … Continue reading

That week where I hypnotised myself

That week where I hypnotised myself

Over the past week I have been hypnotising myself with the power of YouTube. I had been playing ‘Relax My Dog’ for my yorkie Tobleton a.k.a Toby that popped up on Dougal’s Den. It’s a piece of music that plays for about six minutes and has special high frequency sounds that are meant to chill … Continue reading

My First Valentine’s Date At 20

My First Valentine’s Date At 20

(Not a terribly exciting post but I just want to brag a tiny bit.) I’ve either never been asked out on V-Day or my relationships have never lasted long enough to make February 14th. However, this year I was lucky enough to be asked out on a date and it was great. While everyone else … Continue reading

Oh sadness, I’m your girl

Oh sadness, I’m your girl

Every couple weeks (or couple days) I get a small bout of sadness and most of the time it’s for no reason. Today is one of those days. A day where the weather is grey and rainy, I’m tired,no amount of caffeine is helping and I will more than likely miss my bus as I … Continue reading
