There's a - Step *sigh*

Hello people of the interwebs! How are you all this fine day/evening? ...Good! I'm glad to hear that!

This story happens on my second day of university. Picture young me, trying to blend in with all the university folk, just trying to be 'cool'.

Ha! We all know me, so obviously that didn't work out too well.

Anyways, it was after my classes and me and my friend went to a building (which I had already been in that day of a lecture) to find a so-called mini cafeteria... We didn't find it. So, on our way out we were in deep conversation and God knows what and reach the doors. Now, I've made it so far. I haven't had anything bad happen. I've been good. Unnoticed. Life was good. But, the glasses gods couldn't have that. So, as we exit the building, the inevitable happens... I trip.

You see, the doors to the building open onto a little, itty bitty step. So, basically, door opens and you plunge to your death. So, picture me, in my cute little outfit, enjoying life, thinking I'm actually kinda cool, and I twist my ankle. Now, I mean I twisted it. Like, I saw the bottom of my foot, twisted it.

There was a collective gasp of the hundred or so kids that were outside on the campus that saw and my little "I'm OKAY. No need to panic" while turning beat red and my friend holding me for dear life so I didn't further hurt myself.

I'm not gonna lie, this time the pain overtook the embarrassment. It wasn't until after I went home that the wave of embarrassment hit me.

About three weeks later, my ankle STILL hurts, BUT the embarrassment has passed. To be honest, I've tripped about three more times since then, but I don't really mind anymore. People don't laugh in front of you here, they make sure that you're okay (and then probably go home and laugh, but I digress).

Well, I hope you enjoyed my story and are having a great school/work/life year so far!

Yogurt Incident

Hello peoples of the interwebs!

Long time no talk due to me starting university and actually doing work!

So, today's story literally just happened 10 minutes ago. I went down to our student centre and got some yogurt and granola because I felt like it. Anyways, I was 100% sure that the seal was on the yogurt part of the container and that the granola part was open. SO, I turned it upside down and proceeded to open it... only to have most of the yogurt pour out onto the table and my bag.

So, five thousand napkins later, the table and my bag are clean and I'm finally able to eat my yogurt. And I must say, it was worth all that trouble. It was delicious.

Hope you enjoyed! Here's to more regular posts!

Poems!

Hello people of the interwebs!!!

Sometimes, I write poems. Whether it be for comfort or out of sheer boredom, they flow freely from my mind. Now, the ones I've posted here are depressing... So, I apologize in advance. But whenever I'm dealing with something difficult, my creative juices flow better than usual!
Enjoy!

About Unrequited Love:

My Mind 
Oh, hello there!

I didn't realise how much of an impact you'd have on my life.
I wake up, you're on my mind, I got to bed, you're on my mind!
Every inch of your being wraps my mind in wonder.
Oh, look how many times I've said the word 'mind'.
But that's just it, everything we have... is only in my mind.

True Love

Bruised and battered she picks herself up  

She knew it would happen, but she didn’t care  

After the encounter, she was like a lost pup  

Alone in the darkness with no one there  

She tries again to no avail  

Knowing that it would never last  

Really, it was bound from the start to fail  

Hopefully she forgets it, and puts it in her past  

The pain she feels drowns her spirit  

The pain she feels rips her apart  

No one knows the truth of it  

That true love had killed her heart  

 

An Assignment for School:

Smiling and Happy

Smiling and happy she goes on with her day
Smiling at friends as they pass her way
Reassuring and comforting friends
Inside she’s dealing with stress that never ends
Smiling and happy she strolls down the hall
Heading to classes her speed never falls
Sitting in class trying to listen
To a voice that seems very distant
Smiling and happy she leaves to go home
She gets in the car; her hands stroke her hair just like a comb
Smiling and happy her joy fades away
Her mind’s being filled with anxieties of the day
Her mood drops and her eyes water
She feels like a horrible sister and daughter
Smiling and happy she wakes up again
She repeats her day and hopes the cycle will end

Bad Times:

Despair

No one seems to care

 That I’m falling in despair 

No one has the heart

 To catch my broken parts

 No one wants to speak 

As it goes on for weeks

 No one hears me cry

 ‘Cause I’m afraid she’ll die

 No one sees me shake

 I’m always wide awake

 No one knows I fell 

Deep, into this living hell

 I’m falling in despair

 No one seems to care

Dark

The sky is now dark 

Black and cold and stark 

My eyes begin to wander 

My brain begins to ponder 

The pain that’s in my heart 

Set’s me worlds apart 

From all those whom I love 

I look up above 

No comfort for me there 

The world just doesn’t care 

Sad and scared and stressed 

There’s no time for rest 

Encompassing my thoughts 

The joy inside me rots 

Reaching for a hand 

Since I don’t want to land 

If I hit the ground 

My heart no longer pounds 

Black and cold and stark 

I’m left here in the dark   

Sorry for all the depressing stuff! Here's a cute picture to make you happy!

 

Hermit = Sunburn

Hello people of the interwebs!


So yesterday was my cousin, Sara and her fiancé, Josh's wedding shower. It was a beautiful outdoor event. OH MY GOODNESS. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

Anywho... I don't venture out much... and I'm part Irish so my skin is pretty darn white. So, being my hermit self, I haven't been in the sun at all. Cue beautiful day with beaming sun.I'm gallivanting away, playing games, mingling (kinda have to cause I'm a bridesmaid) and just enjoying the weather. 5 hours later, my group of people decide to head home.

After a long drive (we lived about 3 hours away... I do live in Canada... it's a vast land, guys) I arrive home to my parents (who were unable to go with me and my brother) and head to bed because I was exhausted.

I wake up this morning and DEAR MOTHER OF GOD. I am BURNT. Unfortunately I was wearing a tank top so while my shoulders, chest and neck got burnt, I have very noticeable strap and neck line marks on my shoulders and chest. Basically, I look ridiculous. BUT, I will not let this burn win! The wedding is in 3 weeks and I am going to tan and make sure I get an even tan so I don't look like a doorknob.

Anyways, hope all you guys are having a good summer so far! I know I am!

Peace out!

Ukulele!

Hello people of the interwebs!

I have recently taken up the amazing hobby of playing the ukulele! I have named her Effie because she's made of mahogany (if you have seen The Hunger Games movies you'll get where I'm coming from). And I must say... I fricking love it! It's so easy to play! As of now, I know three songs off by heart: Flume, by Bon Iver, Skinny Love, by Bon Iver, and All I Want, by Kodaline.

As of now, my summer consists of playing the ukulele on my deck and singing my little heart out... It's quite relaxing!

Here is a picture of Effie (not taken by me, I got this off of Google Images, but it's exactly what she looks like).

Isn't she beautiful?!


Anyways, just thought I'd give you a quick update as to what I'm doing as of late.

Hope you enjoyed!

Peace out!

Changing It Up?

Hello people of the interwebs!!!

So, I figured that since my GWTG experiences are lacking as of late, why not post other stuff to my blog? After all, it is about me!

So, I will do things a little different around here starting here on in!

This blog:

My two guilty pleasure bands that I'm in love with.

Celtic Thunder and Kodaline.

Now, I LOVE The Lumineers, Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons, and Of Monsters of Men. However, I am not romantically interested in their members.

So, here are the two bands!

First up we have Kodaline! From left to right, the members are: Vinny May, Jason Boland, Steve Garrigan, and Mark Prendergrast... I love them all!

 

Second up, is Celtic Thunder! From left to right, the members are: Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Neil Byrne, George Donaldson (RIP George, you will be missed <3), Colm Keegan and Emmet Cahill. From this list.... I love Keith, Colm, and Emmet... Apparently I have a thing for Irish men since both bands are from Ireland. c:

 

Ayways.  I have met a few members from Celtic Thunder! Three to be exact! Keith, Neil, and Emmet. They are lovely people, so kind and genuine! And super attractive... c: If you want to read about those experiences, click HERE!!!! :D

As for Kodaline, well, I'm going to be seeing them this fall! SO EXCITED!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little blog and learned a little bit about me!

Peace out!
