Morning Sunshines

Oh Blog, I fail you. Never mind, here are some words anyway.

So much of this past few weeks has been spent being stressed and/or reclusive. I've found the best way to deal with deadlines is to curl up and pretend they don't exist. But they all got done, writing 5000 words in 12 hours was perhaps my champion moment of the year. And I've not failed anything yet, so I'm now free as a bird. Or a student. It's rather lovely and increasingly strange.

I've found myself doing all the things I don't usually do, or things which if I did before I would have been stressed knowing I should be doing something else. Now all I feel stressed about while watching Location Location is not having done the washing up. And how I'm ever going to afford a house... but that's a whole other matter.

I have, finally, joined Twitter (Here) and got the Season 1 box set of Glee- both of which are wasting an inappropriate amount of my time. Not at all a Bad Thing. I also found out I have a whole month off work in the summer- the first time I havn't worked for more than a few weeks in the past 4 years. I don't really know what I'll do with my time...

Hmmm... Oh, Last Friday we went to the fancy Private Viewing of Becca and Allie's textile work at The American Museum. It was, as expected, totally gorgeous and impressive.

Ah, should probaby actually do the washing up now. I don't want to miss the Home Show after all...

My name is Lily and I am...

...Technophobic.

There. I said it. I really hate technology. Particularly technology that's new to me. Like, you show me a new website I have to work out and I will stare at it in confusion for a few minutes, start to get that dizzy panic feeling, stop breathing briefly and then close the page. Sort of like if you give your Nan a Blackberry and ask her to call you.

This is, of course, one of the reasons I can end up being fairly uncommunicative in general. I deal with human contact fairly well, but once I have to deal with technology I struggle. Facebook makes me want to cry, quite often, and when I first tried to blog the dashboard made my heart stop. Practise makes perfect though, and so far I've quite enjoyed working out how things happen on here.

I think the whole technology-based-panic-attack-thing may well be linked to my aversion to change. Or my general struggle to keep up with life- overwhelming piles of 'stuff to do' are not helped by all those nasty red notifications telling me there's more stuff I havn't yet done.

I'm not sure how much this information is interesting, bit it does explain why I've chosen to over-blog for this month or so. I'm hoping to break the habit of a life-time and no longer panic at the computor. So far so good...

SIDENOTE: My hair is now about 2 shades darker and a tiny bit redder than it was yesterday. Also, have some pretty pictures of campus...





And a selection of ice-cream from the Co-op which seems to be a little heart-broken...

Blogathon: Day 2

Blogging every day is a bit harder than I expected. Mostly because I forgot about the day ending. In 35 minutes! So here are some words:

Firstly, everyone should look at this tumblr in order to appreciate unlimited lols. I never thought Kim Jong Il could be so hilarious.

Also, currently watching Great British Hairdresser. Saw Zack-from-upstairs. He cried. Excellent. James Brown just said "You can't style a hair cut. You have to cut it. That's why it's called a haircut" I feel I've learnt something. But he will never be the new Gok Wan.

It is now 11.59... so...

A Blog A Day...

...Keeps the doctor away? Hopefully.

Anyway- as I have such a brilliant track record with blogging (!) I have decided to post a blog Every Single Day. From Now until Easter. Fingers crossed every-one.

So Yesterday was spent in the company of Becca (stalk her over at Knit Happens) doing various things of a Bath-Like nature (get your mind out of the gutter. All of you!) such as eating cheap burgers and looking at wedding dress exhibits at the fashion museum . The day looked like this;


Designed by Alexander McQueen...!


My favourite. From 1928. Who says I'm old-fashioned?




We had nice coffee and then went to the park. Because we are Grown Ups. Honest.

I have also had a sudden brainwave- To Do Lists. I love them. Alot. And it's something I can definitely write every day... so this is how I will end my posts.

1. Fairy Tale for tomorrow.
2. Wash Up
3. Film in new camera
4. Call D
5. Paint nails
6. Make brownies for F
