Faery posh

I'm going to show off some of my spectacular art today because it's really the only thing I can brag about.
But that would only take a long time for your PC, and mine, to load on blogger so here's the link:

I said on Monday that I would post up that recipe. Well, something came up i.e. mental breakdown. I kind of have these regularly but usually in the comfort of my own home. Something small usually starts it off as explained in: hyperboleandahalf. Basically I was tired, sunburnt and angry at myself for forgetting my ID at home(minor details but it added up). So when my friend, who's also tired, sunburnt and angry, raised her voice only slightly at me I unreasonably flipped, taking offence. Now when I flip it's usually very quiet and very pathetic.
So I walked on ahead like an angry snot nosed brat not promised her deluxe sugar coned ice cream, sniffling and hoping to be heard though at the same time deeply mortified. I almost walked into a car as well and later, when we went to sit down under a tree tears streaming down my face, with a red nose and looking more than usually unattractive I sulked more than I have ever done before yet in the full knowledge that I had screwed up royally and needed to apologise.
I did though very half heartedly but she and my other friend joked about random things to cover it up making me feel like more of an ass because I had been so despicably horrible. I have never acted so immaturely before in my life and hope to never do so again. Good thing only the occasional motorist saw my shame, and one cyclist gave me look of disgust or at least that's what I thought in my pity induced daze. o__O
 Anyhoo's...Tomorrow is Vensters, the yearly street theatre day on campus where every hostel, PSO group shows off their stuff and have fun. I will post up one or two cool photo's on the weekend to show you guys just how much fun.

'Nuff said

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
PS I promise I will post something less boring next time. Super sulk mode is officially over! Yay!

Hot

It's been another deep pan fry day. My friend and I stood in a relatively short queue to get our mugshots...I mean our pictures taken for our student cards.My mugshot...yes, let's face it; that's what it really looked like. Add another fish to the fruit smoothie: I looked like a druggie...or a drug dealer. I think I prefer drug dealer but I can't deny the truth when it's staring right at me, literally.

Anyway, on the way to a meeting for all 1st year Visual Arts students I got lost...actually I was misdirected so it's not my fault. But at least I got lost with another 1st year artist...a handsome one so that made my day. He's also very nice and one of about 2 guys amongst 70 girls. So booja!

We spent the rest of the day watching youtube videos. It was hot okay, and when it's hot (36 degrees C) and windy you DO NOT go outside. You suffocate inside.

Elmify

She's even funnier than meekakitty (usually) and really deserves more followers. She brings the 'talking to oneself' to whole new level...she talks to herself but past hers.

Why do I keep on talking about people who talk to themselves?
O__o
Anyhoo's, have you ever wondered what kind of person you'll be when you're finally old and wrinkled? Married with lots of grandchildren and with a successful career as a pastry chef behind you or... single? Living alone, in a house too big for you chasing children off of your lawn with a rake while your half dozens cats watch lazely from inside? And one day the neighbours will complain about the smell and the police will casually stroll up to your front door only to see the several newspapers collecting on the "Keep off!" mat. They get worried when you don't answer after three rings and decide to force entry only to find you're decimated corpse in the entrance hall and your cats swarming all over the place. And they wonder, poor old lady. She died and no one even knew. Where were her friends and family in her time of need?

As you can clearly see I'm thinking too much into this, and really underestimating my future self.

Tallyho!

PS Ma mere made sweet sticky rice today (amazingly delicious) and I'm going to post up the recipe tomorrow.

Birds and other whimsical things


"And then the pigoen walked in and said..."
I was recently inspired into doing this (above) by some wonderful art I viewed at:

Now I feel a bit more serious(a bit) as my mother has guilt tripped me into cleaning up my room, which in fact involves moving around furniture, unpacking out toys from eons ago, and cleaning out all my cupboards. On the surface my room is spotless but what hides behind closed doors (shivers)...

To get my mind off of it I did another picture with my awesome wacom tablet.

Foooood

Beautiful whimsical art I also found to my delight: From Orchards, fields and gardens
                                                                          Etsy

I hope none of you have to clean up your rooms today. I just can't wait to do mine...

Bacon

Well, this whole orientation business at my University is getting on my nerves...I think most people's nerves. I don't even live on campus and those that do went about today with glazed eyes, hungry for rest, not surprising seeing as they were herded around on a 'treasure hunt' in small groups on a blistering hot day where the raods are so hot you could fry bacon on them...mmm...bacon.

Near the end of the day I met up with my friend, who's also my lift back home, while we waited for our other friend to finish up at her faculty meeting. I had a splitting headache from way too much sun and she was just annoyed at having to wait...and tired, very tired. I was a bit nervous when we climbed into her car later on...

During our hour wait, our conversation pretty much went as follows:

Amy: I'm sooooo tired...
Me: (hysterically giggling) Braaaaaaains...
Amy: Braaaaains....
Me: (coughing till it feels as if my spleen will jump out of my throat) Gah!
Amy: (looking mildly worried) Do you still have that weird asian flu?
Me: :3 (estatic) Yay! You're finally calling it that! (high pitched giggle)
Amy: (edging away)
Me: I can't help it! When I'm really tired I become really weird
Amy: T__T
Me: Okay, more than normally. I'm like a drunk pers...Ack! My eyes! It burrrrrnssss...(I finally collapse into silence...which unfortunately for her doesn't last long)


Braaaaains

On a more interesting note: Check out meekakitty 
who has a..err strange but funny take on vblogging...
She talks to herself 

Not that that's a new thing in my experience. I seem to be my best friend and arch nemesis at the same time...my cat's my sidekick but refuses to take sides. But I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know what's up and down anymore, not after she sort of frothed at the mouth the other day...Hmm...I almost forgot about that.

I had an appointment with Mr Tea today. He promised to take away my headache. He lied

LIES! IT'S ALL LIIIIES!

PS Thank you for subscribing, Anneline. I neeeeed more subscribers! More!

Impatient

I've just realised that by only introducing myself in the previous blog I haven't really given anyone ANY reason much to follow me. Who would follow someone with only one (pretty useless) post? Or maybe I'm just being impatient...I mean I only started this blog today so I should wait my turn (nervous eye twitch)

Now these are bloggers to follow. I've had the imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike. So, this (above) is my favourite blogger(vblogger?) in the world, Charlie. Here's his youtube site with all his quirky videos about the random/fun stuff he does and says: charlieissocoollike

Another blogger everyone should get to know. She's hilarious and will get you hooked at the first read:
http://www.hyperboleandahalf.com/

For anyone who has the time to spare this is my deviantart page where I post some of my art:
My art
And this is my mibba page where I post some of my writing:
stories!


Now there are four extradordinary links for you to click on and enjoy. So, enjoy!

Posh introductions


Yay! I have introduced myself!  
On this blog I will post random snippets of UF(AKA Useless Facts), rant and rave about life in general, talk about art and books, show you some of my fabulous(halfway decent) art and try to amuse or entertain you in mystical ways I'm as yet uncertain of.

This is Mr Tea, he's my favourite friend:

He's usually not all there, if you know what I mean, so his appearances will be rare.

Please say hello!
