Fangirl moment

Morning/Evening folks.

I would like to start today's post with a brief emotional and mental word diarrhoea.

OMGJESUSCHRISTBEYONCEISSOFREAKINGAMAZNGILOVEHEROMGOMGOMG.

Yeah.

That.

I mean LOOK at this woman

I am not sexually attracted to girls, I am just sexually attracted to beyonce. That should actually be a new category of sexuality, beyoncexual

Point 1. She is so goddamn hot. Seriously. I don't know a single person who isn't attracted to Beyonce.

Point 2. She is a successful music artist who creates AMAZING music and videos. Like her new album that she released without letting ANYONE KNOW ABOUT IT. with music videos for every freaking single one! that leads me to the 3rd point!

Point 3. Epic woman skills of multitasking. She managed to record and release the whole album along with music videos at the same time as her world tour, and looking after her baby and maintaining her marriage to Jay-Z

Point 4. Her family life. She keeps her private life relatively private and always appears to have an incredibly stable marriage and an OBVIOUSLY gorgeous baby. She prioritises her family and doesn't just let it slide whilst she focuses on her career.

Ultimate power couple

Tiny, beautiful, if unusually named

Point 5. Role model. As well as showing how you really can have a great career and a family, Beyonce doesn't take shit from NOBODY. She received a lot of stick from silly people who said she was being un-feminist by taking her husbands name, so what does she do? only name her world tour the Mrs Carter tour. HELL  YEAH. YOU SHOW THEM BEYONCE!!!

I really love everything about Beyonce. I also agree with her choices, I DO NOT believe that you are anti-feminist if you want to take your husbands name, I think its a perfectly valid choice and one that i would/will make too! not to say that you shouldn't choose to not take their name that's exactly my point, you should be FREE to choose. The only thing that is Anti-feminist is to deny someone their choice.

Anyway I'm getting off topic. lets refresh

HOLY CRAP SHE REALLY IS QUEEN B!

Bow down bitches indeed. I will be forever in awe of you beyonce. Thus ends my fangirling moment.

PS. someone buy this for me?

How to annoy people with your happiness

Hello world!

Whats happening people. I am sitting in my living room cosied up in christmas get up enjoying the lights on the tree and the soothing sounds of my boyfriend blowing up zombies on the xbox. At least I think thats what he is doing I rarely pay attention.

ANYWAY!
I realised a couple of days ago that I have been behaving a certain way for a while. And though this behaviour is not a DIRECT result of, it is partly due to something my dad said to me a while back.

Trust me I hate to admit this. Admitting my father is right about something is more painful then having my fingers chewed off by rats that aren't even hungry, with the entire affair being narrated loudly by jedward. But he was right about this, THERE  YOU GO DAD ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? ugh.

Being happy in life really pisses other people off, and that is fantastic.

Let me elaborate. At some point in your life you will have been arguing with someone and found something they said really funny. If you at that point smiled or laughed during the argument that person would then get REALLY REALLY MAD and you would most likely win the argument. thats because when someone is arguing with you and trying to make you unhappy you being happy anyway is possibly the most annoying thing that could happen.

I have started to apply this philosophy to my everyday life without even realising it until very recently. Like if there is somebody present in my life who does not like me or tries to make me miserable, I showcase my happiness in front of them and they literally cant stand it. People have walked out of conversations mid-sentence with me when this happens. And of course you are doing absolutely nothing wrong to do that! you are not retaliating to their childish behaviour or enacting any kind of reaction apart from ignoring them and being better off for it. and that is how you win. At everything. Ever.

Now one other part of this is that it can be faked. as much as this is much heard advice it really does work, pretend you aren't affected by what someone says, in fact do the opposite! If someone tries to bully you and say crappy things act even happier! Even if you don't feel so inside if you can fake it enough to get them to believe you they are going to be incredibly pissed off. And then if you are a vindictive person on the inside like me them being pissed off will make you genuinely happy! and its a beautiful little cycle of your happiness and their irritation.

Of course this is quite a simplified view of things and I'm pretty sure it won't apply to a lot of cases, but for me it definitely does work and I am so much better of for it. I can still win in all of my bitch wars without lifting a finger or looking even slightly bad as I'm not retaliating in the slightest. Who said winning was hard?

Anyway I'm off to go laugh at babies falling over on the internet!

Why am I awake!

Seriously guys I need to go to bed.

And yet I cant. I just got home from work (well an hour ago) and I'm too wired to sleep so I'm just procrastinternetting away my time until Ian comes home and hopefully makes me get my act together and go to sleep.

It's these kind of things I do in life that make me sure of the fact that I will never be a grown up. I will elaborate with another example here but I warn you know those with a weak disposition or intolerance to extreme patheticness stop reading now.

3 days ago I sliced mostly through the end of my finger with a breadknife. Where do I begin in this tale of idiocy? Maybe when I began slicing some bread for my sandwhich and stopped paying attention to what I was doing, as I was having a conversation with my boyfriend in the other room and I had completely forgotten that bread knives are sharp, not to mention serrated.

When the actual slicing of the finger happened my reaction was also far below what anyone would expect from someone who is 22 and is legally allowed to drive and drink alcohol (though not at the same time clearly). I started crying and held the offensive finger out to Ian to deal with. I cried the entire way through him running it under the cold tap and the entire way through him putting pressure on it. I only stopped crying after about 10 minutes sitting on the sofa having a cuddle whilst holding my finger wrapped in kitchen roll above my head.

When I had calmed down and stopped leaking from my eyes Ian explained to me calmly that he needed to take me to the hospital as I had sliced through the nail and it looked pretty deep. Of course at this information I promptly started crying again and the whole affair had to be re-started.

My finger is now healing fine and only serves me now as a reminder to my moment of complete abandon of all pretence of being an adult. When I was hurt I was unable to look after myself and instead reverted to the kind of ugly sobbing tears that people over the age of 4 have learned to control.

I don't think that I will ever be the conventional grown-up that I see every day. Maybe I will just have to make do with this man-child type intermediate that I have going on right now. Oh well :(

Yeah I'm still not going to bed.

Pinterest weddings

Sup nerds.

Today I just wanted to talk about something that bothers me slightly. Wedding-inspiration shoots.

Now don't get me wrong, I like any girl can spend hours on Stumbleupon or Pinterest looking at pretty dresses and beautiful scenery and fantasising about when I get married. But I think too much of this over-styled, over-decorated and over-done setup that is only possible with a multitude of stylists and photographers is warping peoples ideas of what is standard at weddings.

Too often, these "inspiration-shoots" aren't correctly identified as such and people could easily mistake them for real weddings (albeit done by people so beyond on-trend its ridiculous) and this idea sets root in their mind. Now brides-to-be are difficult to please at the best of times. do we really want to be grooming the next generation of bridezillas to be unsatisfied with anything but the most perfectly kitsch, homemade and hipster wedding that takes place in an abandoned barn on a summers day, surrounded by newborn lambs!

This mass of visual information is subconsciously affecting the brains of these girls, ranging from preteens who go on pinterest with their friends after school and start planning their future weddings to girls my age and probably older. Now even though I recognise that this is happening to me I still cant help it. take this article on different "drink stations" to have at your wedding.

Adorable, yes, but also almost unobtainable

you would be scouring vintage shops for months collecting all of these things.

Hipster in flat cap not included

Now I'm not saying this is impossible. But really the time required just to get this one aspect of the wedding Pinterest-perfect would take so much time and effort that you would either need to have a trust fund and an army of wedding planners or too much free time and an army of overly patient friends who each owed you a million favours. And this is just one part! you would also need to get the perfect location.

Because frankly darling if it isn't a stunning castle in Ireland whats even the point in getting married!!

And if you dont take adorably perfect pre-wedding photos of you and your intended how will anyone know you are in love??

oh my goodness this is so natural and unplanned!!

So if you really want to spend the next 5 years of your life planning your wedding every second of the day just to be able to invite only 8 people as no more will fit around your refurbished art deco wedding table, and spend the whole day actually missing your wedding as you have to check the seating chart clothesline is in perfect place and that the ice cream buffet is restocked; be my guest. However I would rather plan a decent, realistic wedding in which my guests can enjoy themselves without worrying about ruining the prettiness of the event. And save my effort and money for something slightly more important.

Thats my piece and I just had to get that out, rant over!

Oops I fell off the internet.

Is that a good enough excuse?

yeah thought not.

I haven't blogged in a while. It might have been because I graduated and my life got so incredibly exciting and busy that I haven't had time to mooch about on the internet, but I think we all know that just isn't true. I live on the internet, we have a symbiotic relationship.

The truth is I just haven't wanted to blog about anything. I got a bit sad and lonesome when I graduated, all my friends scattered off to different jobs and places and lives. And I moved with the boyfriend to a tiny fishing town in the middle of nowhere and tried to find a job and a life of my own.
Well that went well clearly. I don't want to go into massive detail about how I felt about all of that because I finally feel like I am out of it. I have turned my imaginary corner and decided that I like things again. So I'm back! maybe. I enjoy blogging, at least I think I do now that I enjoy things again so hopefully this energy will make me want to write things and be a fun human being and express myself about stuff all over again.

In the meantime to entertain you all here are all of the webcomics that I read and waste my time on the internet with. Enjoy!

http://satwcomic.com/- Countries as people. I cant get enough!

http://www.xkcd.com/- Classic nerd humor. Don't know many people who dont read this actually! although maybe that says more about my friends??

http://questionablecontent.net/- Music nerds in like. adorable.


See ya later!
