"For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it."

Stoney Swamp Diana

Happiness Is A Warm Cookie

Why is it that during the grueling weeks of a school term, I pray for the holidays, yet when they finally arrive, my life inevitably slips into a vicious cycle of futility and unproductiveness?

During the school term, my alarm goes off at 6am and my eyes open as I scan the sensations in my body desperately hoping to feel, maybe a sore throat, a pain in the tummy or hell, even a migraine- just so maybe I would have an excuse to take a day off.

No. Such. Luck. Healthy as a fucking healthy horse.

Then? Holidays FINALLY come around and I don’t set my alarm and but wake up bright-eyed whith a tail way too bushy to enjoy a sleep in.

I can’t remember the last time I slept past 7am.

This? Is deeply upsetting.

And let’s not be silly! Of course I don’t want to mark the pile of year 10 essays that eye me off and induce a deep feeling of guilt every time I walk past the study- I’m not THAT desperate!

Anyway, considering the very fact that my days are spent in complete futility I figured this post would consist of some inane babbling about my currently uneventful life and possibly a rant about Mother Nature’s incessant intent on being a silly, silly whore-bag, which has caused us to be stuck inside with nothing to do, and has, subsequently resulted in me:

A. Becoming a master of the blanket fort- architectural engineering of the blanket is so much more advanced when you’re an adult.

B. Inevitably becoming obsessed with Angry Birds, so much so that I have begun to incorporate modified phrases into my vernacular that have been directly inspired by the game. For example- “Hey Canada, by eating this cookie with one hand and scratching my leg with the other I am killing two pigs with one bird!”

See what I did there?

C. Realising that facebook is fucking boring. Wait. I think I already knew this.

Speaking of boring things: The Canadian cashed in all our frequent flyer points and bought an ugly, fuck-off-big television. I am even refusing to call the thing by its more widely used acronym for fear of instilling a false sense of endearment through nicknames.

Since this purchase I have taken every possible opportunity to point out that television is one huge cluster-fuck of utter shit. Granted I have watched 6-9 (definitely under 10) documentaries on the likes of Marie Antoinette, Scotland’s history and so on but I am yet to be convinced that the majority of what appears on this big black rectangle of death isn’t making me dumber.

On that note I am off to take an IQ test now to settle said anxieties. Ok really I'm just going to eat more cookies and play Angry Birds.

    Well, Miss thang. It has been a while.

    And it's been a while since I've popped round...I think I thought you'd left us for good.

    Very pleased to have you back and will now catch up on the posts I've missed.

    Much love,

    - B x

    Cookies sound yum.

    And Facebook IS boring. Beyond the hot-guy-stalking, there's nothing more to it. (:

    So that is where you have been hiding! Good luck with the studies and I'm certain you will come up with a suitable punishment for The Canadian.
    Hugs!

      This is my blog. There are many like it but this one is my own. Within it I make (debatably) witty observations about life or something like it. During the day I teach teenagers things about the world and the English language. I read philosophy books and classics and I have an impressive vinyl collection. I appreciate the small things and I try to make the world better everyday. I love to write and take photos of pretty things using my Diana. I'd loan you my toothbrush...

    I'm a 24 year old, stuck in the body of a 24 year old. I like you if you like me, If you screw up I can't look you in the eye. I wish I knew who made up that thing that kids say about sneezing being a 1/4 of an orgasm as I think they've made a pretty wild connection between two different ends of the human body. Sometimes I'll employ the use of sarcasm even though I know what they say about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit-but does anyone else think that statement could be sarcastic itself? When I was a kid the dentist told me I'd grow into my mouth and I'm still waiting. I walk a seesaw between extro and intro (verted that is). I'm convinced RnB music is the bane of my existence (the very fact the middle letter 'n' stands for 'and' should really be enough to call the whole thing off). I hate prejudiced on all levels of the word. I think I was either born in the wrong era or grew up with people who had not yet grown out of theirs. I hate it when people use words like "asap" or phrases such as "24/7" but at least there's a record that i love to play......
