13 Lovely Things to Enjoy: #1

I am really stressed still but with the kind words of some lovely friends, I'm in a much better place today as I had another brainwave regarding my thesis. This day two weeks I should be FREE!!! Until the following Monday when I'll have to pull my socks up regarding my classes here and pass the rest of the semester.

In order to bust your stress if you too are suffering, here are 13 lovely things to enjoy at a glance when you are on a break from study/research, as I am. Thus I present "13 Lovely Things to Enjoy #1".

#1: Ryan Reynolds. One of the funniest manly man actors alive. Oh look at that, he's soaking wet. I hardly noticed.

#2: A dog wearing a monocle. AND IT'S A PUG! What's not to love?

#3: Childhood memories mingled with Disney characters and songs are flooding back right now, aren't they?

#4: This song makes me sad and happy at the same time. Beautiful stuff.

Team Me - Show Me

#5: Taken from the AA Roadwatch Website on St. Patrick's Day 2012. The warning signs represent areas where there was traffic congestion. Or people, pissshed out of their minds, lying down on the roads.

#6: This literally makes me cry laughing every time I read it. HA.

#7: Self- explanatory, really. Fetching young men.

#8:

This song will have you dancing, whether you have two left feet or seven right ones.

The Contours - Do You Love Me?

#9: I believe this was taken at a wildlife park in China. The young panda cub wasn't doing so well so his carers took him from his mother for a while to get him better. They had to wear panda suits when placing him back so the mother wouldn't feel threatened by the humans and thus, abandon her young in the same way bitchy cats do.

#10: Very apt.

#11: Shanghai in 1990 (above) and 2010 (below)

#12: Remember

#13: Finally, this song brings back such memories of sunny, lazy 90's days

Dodgy - Good Enough for You

Cheers tumblr and stumbleupon for these gems. I feel much better. Now back to the research!

FML

Google, cheers for this apt visual description of me.

I never liked to use the term "FML", which I assume you know to stand for "Fudge My Life". Until now. I have a thesis due in 2 weeks. It is a huge monster of a project that should come in at around 13,000 words. I had a direction for it and as I began to write, that direction shifted slightly. In the last week, I thought I was finally getting somewhere! I could see how I'd do the whole thing, how it would end nicely. I have the first part done and while waiting for feedback from my supervisor, I went about filling in the referencing. Of course, the more I referenced, the more information I was reading and suddenly I realised that I had done this part wrong and I didn't write enough on this part and oh no, I didn't criticise that in the right way.

Right now, I've just left it and gone to make chips but I never anticipated my Final Year Project would turn into such a little snitch. Looking at Megan's pugs did cheer me up some bit but I'm beginning to panic.

I had a dream last night that the external examiner read it and proclaimed it a "pile of utter dung". Oh well. Maybe I'll just drop out of college and live on an island in the Pacific Ocean. I've seen the Pacific Ocean. It is indeed very pacifying.

Pug Life

Hello everybody,

It has occurred to me that not one of us has ever written a post about pugs. Today I am going to change this.

I love pugs. I follow fuckyeah-pugs on tumblr, I like photo's of pugs on facebook, and pug related merchandise makes me really happy.

I would like to own a little pug someday...but unfortunately there are a number of things that prevent me from realising this dream:

1. Pugs cost a lot of money. A LOT.

2. You have to clean between their face wrinkles twice daily, which disgusts me a little bit. (I learned this from an actual pug owner)

3. As long as I still live with my parents they will not allow me to have another pet. Pug or otherwise.

I don't really understand why some people think that pugs are ugly. Here are some pictures from fuckyeah-pugs that could show these people that pugs= happiness and love forever. (if you have a tumblr, you should definitely follow this page, seriously...it passes hours. I've spent the better part of today in my PJ's, eating Milka Choco-Swing Cookie and looking at pugs on the internet. I think it's an "I want to go home" kinda day...)
