Skype & Pizza

Hello!

I actually left the house again today! That's twice in one week, wow!

I woke up quite late, and I'd only been awake for about 15 minutes when the postman came with my parcel from DFTBA.com which I'd been waiting for since the end of November (Disclaimer to them: A) The hoodie I ordered was like some kind of pre-order or something and I knew when ordering that it wouldn't be shipped until the end of December so that's all good. B) I live a very long way away from America and it only took 2/3 weeks to get here from the time the dispatch email was sent which is BRILLIANT.) So basically I am in love with my three new tees and hoodie.

1st tee, just so my fellow humans can understand that I am a Potterhead

2nd tee - I couldn't not buy this. After Hank said "DUDE, NO EDGE" I haven't stopped quoting it.

3rd tee - Pizza John. I couldn't NOT buy this, I mean, come on.

My beloved hoodie. I solemnly swear that I will never take it off (unless it needs to be washed in which case yes).

I decided to jump straight in the shower straight after ripping the package open and marveling at the nerd merch and I'd literally just left the bathroom when I got a text from my college friend, Rachel, asking me if I wanted to Skype about some work we had to do.

Of course I said yes, so we Skyped for about an hour, annotating some sheets. I actually like doing work outside of college, so it was pretty fun.

I used the next few hours to chill online for a bit and to decide what I wanted to wear (which ended up being jeans and my DFTBA Hoodie) and with that, my sister and I left to pick up our (but mainly her) friend Billy so we could attend our friend Lauren's 21st birthday gathering in which we all ate pizza and gossiped a lot. I only took one picture all night, and it's of the eerily empty shopping center which you can see through the window. I kind of felt like I was in an abandoned post-apocalyptic land.

Also there was no free WiFi and everyone was wearing smart-casual which made me feel severely under dressed, but I had pizza so I didn't really care.

After dropping Billy back at his house, Tania and I went back home where I, you guessed it, went straight on my laptop.

De-Christmasing The House

Hello!

Today I spent three hours taking down the Christmas decorations and arranging the box they go in neatly while listening to my current favourite album on repeat.

The mess of Christmas

After showering, I thought it'd be fun to put on my cute kilt (which I did) and try out my new mascara. I'm not a beauty blog so I won't name the brand, but it is awful. I'll definitely be getting a new tube of mascara as soon as I can.

After that, I ventured to the land of the internet to do my set English work for college and submit my A2 coursework. I even had tome to chunk up my essay a bit before uploading it, but I probably rambled too much and will have to get rid of at least half of it.

Current favourite show

After that, I watched Bob's Burgers whilst Tumblr-ing, went food shopping with my dad and sister, and then had a mini-feast of new food in my bedroom after putting Bob's Burgers back on. For anyone that watches it, Tina is pretty much an accurate representation of me.

I also got a really nice review on the FanFiction I'm currently working on and got another conditional offer for university (which is exciting seeing as I thought all five that I applied to would reject me!)

Anyway, must dash.

Uneventful Day #1

Hello!

Today I woke up naturally at 8:30am which rarely happens, but I embraced it because I like having more than the four daylight hours that I’d usually have when waking up at noon (or later…).

My dad and sister were at work, so I had the house to myself for a few hours. Usually when I have the house to myself, I get Suzie (my guitar) down from my wardrobe and have some guitar and singing time, which I did nicely.

When my dad got home, he sorted out the gutters because they had dirt in them and because he was on the ladder right outside my bedroom window, I sat on my windowsill and chatted to him for a bit.

My grandad comes over on Sundays, so I let him in just as dad was finishing up and made him some coffee and chatted to him and dad for a while before returning to my bedroom to fill in the parts of my coursework essay that I’ve been avoiding for too long.

I don’t know why I didn’t finish it sooner; I actually enjoy writing essays. I even write them for fun sometimes, I’ll have to start posting them if anyone’s interested.

Anyway, I made pasta bolognese for dinner (using Morrisons meat-free mince, which is actually very nice) and because I have absolutely no portion perception when it comes to pasta, I (as usual) ended up making way too much and had to throw at least a quarter of it away because I was too full to manage any more.

Right now, it’s 8:20pm, which means that Sherlock will be starting in ten minutes, so I’m going to go and watch that with my dad (and possibly my sister if she fancies joining us).

I really enjoyed the one on New Year’s Day; Mark Gatiss adding in little snippets especially for the Sherlock fandom without making fun of us was the best thing ever. Fingers crossed that this week’s episode is just as good!
