Halloweeeeeen

Halloween is upon us yet again! I don't do an awful lot for Halloween, last year I dressed up as a zombie type thing - I really just did what most people do last minute on Halloween and covered myself and an old top in fake blood, never fails! People said I looked scary. 

Pictured: Zombie.

But this year I won't be doing very much at all because I just don't have the money, the original intention is to have my friend Maurice over for drinks and scary movie time, I also was intended to go and see the new Saw film this weekend, as well as Paranormal Activity 2. But we shall see, depends how early I get back from Glasgow on Sunday or not!

In other news one of my favourite things about Halloween is the pumpkin carving, it's so much fun! And yet I haven't done it for like, two or three years, I don't know what's up with that but I intended to rectify it this year but again, I may not have time! It's all going to be worth it though.

In other news I thought my laptop almost died today, it was randomly shutting itself down all the time and being rather strange, I almost lost all my university work I had been doing (and ought to still be doiing as it's due in 13 hours and I still have four questions to go) so I was having a right panic to myself, thinking I was going to lose it all. 

It was one of those moments where I went from LALALAL I AM HAVING A GOOD DAY EVERYTHING IS FANTASTIC to I HATE LIFE I WANT TO PUNCH SOMETHING in about two seconds. And then my neighbour was tapping on the wall incessantly for two hours straight, it got to the point where I was twitching with Every. Single. Tap. Eventually I turned on loud music in my frustation and they stopped. 

When my laptop did die my boyfriend, being the amazing computer type person that he is took it apart to find out the problem and when he did he found a big ball of compacted dust around my fan, so I think I'm definitely going to be asking for one of those things your laptop sits on for Christmas.

So now after a day of mindless research methods coursework, and the most unfunny blog post ever, I am off to bed, to sleep and hopefully dream of being 'financial' as I told my boyfriend I was doing last night in my sleep. 

The Interview

So the other day I had an interview at a large supermarket near me, literally about a twenty minute walk away, it was good, life is good, I was happy and excited as this wasn't the first interview I had been to with them, I had been called back from a group interview. I took this as a great thing and was very excited as well, I am very poor right now and need money more than anything. 


So all was well, the interview was at 1pm, but up until about 12.05pm I was sure it was 3pm. So I was sitting there on my bed in my pyjamas, hair everywhere since I hadn't brushed it since I'd woken up, yesterdays make up all over me around the eyes making me look similar to a panda... well, you get the idea. 


When suddenly at 12.05PM I realised, the interview was at one o'clock and I was sent into a massive flurry of a panic. 

So that wasn't a very good illustration but hey, I don't claim to be an artist. Anyway, I got up, threw my laptop away from me and ran to the bathroom. 


Fast forward twenty minutes.....


I was finally ready, now getting ready in 20 minutes is no easy task, and by this point I was feeling pretty out of breath, I hadn't had anything to eat or drink yet but there was no time! And then as usual I couldn't find the house keys, this is typical to happen just the moment you need to run out of the door, so I wasted a good ten minutes hunting for them. 


Then I was gone. WHOOSH. That is the sound of my leaving my flat, running down the stairs and power walking to the supermarket. Although when I power walk one of my legs always goes wonky, and half way there I started feeling insecure about it and tried to make it go away, which of course only made it worse. 

Then I told myself THERE IS NO TIME and like some kind of a superhero I managed to make it there, sweaty and red faced, I could feel the sweat dripping down my back, seriously. But I told myself, it's only a supermarket - not that I would tell that to my possible future boss...


She wasn't ready for me and I waited ten minutes before being seen which was a god send because I had time then to sort out my hair which had been all blown in the wind, and calm down, slow my breathing so I didn't sound like I was having some kind of an asthma attack.


And then I made a total fool of myself as all through the interview I stuttered and stammered because all I could think about was how HUNGRY I was and how I wanted to gorge myself on some food right then, and I was pretty tired from my superhero walk. I hope she just thought I had some kind of a speech impediment... 


Haven't heard yet, so maybe she has something against people with speech impediments? 

Creativity is Wasted

Sometimes I feel like my creativity is wasted, I drew an amazing picture earlier one that I was pretty happy about and my friend just asked me if I was high. 

Okay so maybe, maybe she had a point. Anyway to further prove my point that I am an excellent artist, I drew her this picture. 

That is all. 

How To... Irritate Me

In case you are ever looking to try and annoy me, or make me angry with you, here are some very easy, very simple ways to do it. Although unless you are a close family member or a best friend then chances are I am not going to do anything about it except be angry on the inside. I find it difficult to show my anger easily, I hate confrontation. So my excuse for those close to me is that if I am comfortable enough to be angry around you then I really love you. It's totally a compliment, really.

Chew Really Loudly

My boyfriend actually managed to make it sound like he is literally chewing gravel, I don't know how he does it but some people just have a knack at chewing so loudly it sounds like they much be crunching their teeth together or something. It's annoying, I will make all of your foods liquids if you continue.

Flush With the Lid Up

Right this is a totally legitimate thing here, I hate, hate when people flush the toilet with the lid up, I can't stand it. Nobody should do this. When a toilet is flushed it sends up six feet of fine spray into the air, if the lid is up that is. Do you keep a toothbrush in your bathroom? Do you want someone elses excrement going all over the toothbrush? I didn't think so, lid down thanks. 

Whistling

I can't whistle, don't whistle around me you are totally showing off this awesome skill I will never be able to experience, because no matter how hard I try, I just cannot whistle. It annoys me when I hear people doing something I know I will never be able to do. ):


Show up late to meet me
I hate this because chances are I will have made it so I am early to meet you, so when you come half an hour late and only tell me five minutes before hand when I am sitting there like a total prat waiting for you, then I am not happy and not impressed, no, not funny mister. I will be sitting there with my arms folded glaring at you when you arrive. This is not a nice way to begin an afternoon.


Be The Most Annoying Person In The World. Ever.
Okay I couldn't even think of a proper title for this one because it is so annoying. People who post facebook updates like 'life is so shit right now ):' and then if you ask what's up, they say 'oh I can't tell you'. NO. Do not post something on a public social networking website, if you cannot elaborate, do not attention seek. It has to be one of the most unattractive qualities in a person ever. These tend to be the same people who get drunk from looking at an alcopop, and display other attention seeking attributes. 


"OMG THAT HAPPENED TO ME ONLY WORSE"
I hate people who feel the need to 'top' every single story you tell them. They feel the need to interrupt you during any sentence for the simple reason that they clearly think so highly of themselves that anything they say has to be SO much more interesting than anything you are saying, and when you say something like "Oh actually, I've been ill this week." They come out with "MY ARM FELL OFF" or something like that. Just don't bother, it's not impressive. Unless your arm actually fell off, then oopsie. 




That above is actually only a taster on how to irritate me, so that would put you in good steed for putting me in a bad mood, maybe I'll post a second part about it sometime. 


In other news my sleeping pattern is totally messed up, I need to get this sorted as soon as possible, which is why I have stayed up all night tonight in order to try and fix it in some sort of nonsensical way. But it makes sense to me. 

Oh here you go Technorati don't freak out on me. T8XTVR6MX8EN




EDIT//I love that in the email Technorati send, they literally use the words 'we have crawled through your blog', as if it's such a chore. Don't offer a service if you're going to complain Technorati!

University

Dear University, 

Why are you so difficult? You make me get up at 7am on days where I just want to lie in bed until 12pm, don't you know how hard it is to get out of bed of a morning? That's why I never go to that one 9.15am lecture, it isn't you, it's me. Really. 

And then there's this 'studying' issue, I don't want to study, I want to sit around in my dressing gown watching Lost and Glee, instead of having to sit and read a book called Automotive Ergonomics. Seriously, what the hell? 

Don't even get me started on the work thing, do you know how stressed a person gets before a deadline? Do you university? I don't think you do, I think you're just messing with us, standing there all smug and full of degrees. I'm on to you.

Regards,
