Mrs Molloy

Blimey, I totally forgot I had this open and would have to come back to a mash of thoughts from the day...

Firstly I've privatised my old youtube videos, teddy's arse and most of the stuff I had up from 2006. The thing is now I just look look like a massive fiveawesomeguys fangirl. Not that that's a bad thing. I love all 5 of them. But I really should have more to my channel than Ross falling off a chair, a drawing of the 5ags, three 'ology vids and a video response to Alan. Thing is, unless I make one tomorrow or Sunday I'm back into my week for hazelizabeth. *le sigh*

I felt I should have recorded one today... but all inspiration slipped away.

I own far too many cables for things I don't own or use anymore or that don't work... Just sitting in an old Hercules bin.

A thing that struck me today is that none of you readers realise quite how crafty and cool my Dad is. I rarely talk about him. We have this amazing thing at home: fridge pencils. For writing lists. You know those pads always come with a grotty pen in a horrible plastic clip? Well no worries. We have pencils that are magnetised because Dad's inserted teensy magnets into them. :D

I've also started checking twitter too much again since the pause I took before exams. It's now worked it's way to 4th spot on most visited on my browser homepage.
Then again I'm still suprised I visit youtube more than my emails!

Did some gardening... trimmed two hedges into submission with the shears.

Went to the DLI to see some art, was mediocre. One thing was a pinboard and lots of bits of paper that asked you to list what 5 items you would take into a bunker if war broke out. After much deliberation and reading what was already up. (One woman had written Husband, crossed it out, and replaced it with Chocolate. Another wrote "the complete works of Shakespeare and Radio 4.) I decided that I'd take it very seriously and consider that I'd be sharing this bunker with the people who'd already written so I decided not to also bring Shakespeare... Anyhoo I clarified at the top of my sheet that I was ruling out electricity and wireless internet because I doubted they'd be accessible in a Nuclear bunker. I chose: A torch that can be shaken to keep charged, a giant notepad with writing equipment, plenty of food, a sleeping bag and the complete Harry Potter cannon. Do you think I made a good choice? What 5 would you take? Before I left I changed my mind, went over, crossed out my entire list and wrote TARDIS. I mean, it's art, it;s all about freedom of expression and I'm 18 so I can do what I want. Right?

Rangers was on tonight too, we had a good old chat about Uni and swimming. Unrelated really but Jen had some magnificent stories about the swimming baths.

Right, must sleep. Up early to go on the boats on the river (I hope they're actually going to be fine it hasn't rained in ages so if the water is up I'll be gutted) then to the Cinema a la Newcastle.

Toodle Pip!

Midnight blogging

So what if it's Friday.

I had a lovely Thursday.

I walked into town to have lunch with my cousin Lucy.
We had many conversations ranging over quality bargain clothes, great books and films, being skint at Uni, men and grrr, wasps, communities and plenty more.
We should have had this sort of get together ages ago, it should be a regular thing, I hope to make it more than a once-a-year thing. Like so many others.

We had a presentation night at school for certificates and such where they read out where everyone is going to Uni.
The speech made by the Theology guy from Durham uni made me drift off, he had no point to it, he hadn't decided what to say before he started. It was clearly a massive failure.

Then I went into town with a host of friends because soon people start drifting off to Uni's. I had this strange Mocktail called a "Hobson's Choice". Much better than alcohol (sometimes).

Nighto

Mwahahahaa

I predicted I'd have a nice day today and one thing that made it better than yesterday was "AdamAndJoe: Blah Boobidy Baya 13 Jun 09" which is the exact title of the Potcast that today left me creased in laughter.

It may sound boring if I say that today I sat on my bed and separated silver from blue beads. It did sent my eyes a little bit funny but it was very relaxing.

Tomorrow I'm having lunch with my cousin in town and I think I'll walk in because after two days of nearly sitting still merits a good hour of walking.

OH, yeah. I decided I'd try and decide and sort through DVDs to take away with me. Mum thinks I shouldn't take any and I can understand not taking and full series or the HP films or comedy ones but I like having the choice to go watch Ross Noble or Shrek or Juno or Hairspray and all those are staying in Durham.
I've got it down to 14 I think though I might not take Grease or Moulin Rouge... depending. Oh if this is all I get worked up about I'm having a good day I suppose.

My new friend James told me a story today that ended up being the full plot of an old computer game called Heart Of Darkness. It was quite funny though.

Right. I'm off to try and make some more headway with the Very Potter Musical just finished part 9.

Ciao!

Milk

As today consisted of podcasts naps and odd weather I feel I should talk to you about milk.

I love a huge glass of fridge cold milk just before I go to bed. It's a routine I've been in nearly my whole life. One that I do not plan to give up because it gets calcium into my system. Calcium I don't get in other ways because I don't eat cheese (bleurgh) and am not too fond of yoghurts.

Milk is great, it's natural, it can be obtained from cows without hurting them (although it often isn't D:) and it is the basis of ice cream.

It should be keeping my teeth, hair and nails strong.

It tastes horrible warm in my opinion.

Right, I'm going to watch Tom and Mikeleh on some sort of live show thing.

Tatty bye.

Making friends online

Without the internet I wouldn't know most of the music that make up the majority of my current favourites.

I wouldn't know Ashley or any of "thesexymacaroni".

I wouldn't have has the chance to become friends with and draw album art for Alex.

Also I think it's going to make this "moving to Uni" thing a bit easier. I've befriended this rather nice chap called James and a couple of others over on the Facefail.

Oh I had to indulge in a description of Nerdfighters today.
It went well and I felt accepted.

Ash and I last night wrote this during our msn conversation.

Short and sweet once again as all I really did today was listen to Adam and Joe potcasts, eat and sort out my beads. I sound really daft but yep, I think it needs doing.

I like the last thing I do on my laptop to be checking my emails then turning off my music and it just slowly shutting down.

*waves*

Meandering thoughts

When I have days like today that consist mainly of sorting through the too many things I own I have a lot of time to drift off into my own mind.
Coupled with the distraction of the Qi book of banter this made for a nice relaxing day.

I tried to avoid being online all day and not be able to constantly check my emails like it will be when I'm at Uni. It was rather strange and difficult.

"A man is born an artist as a hippopotamus is born a hippopotamus; and you can no more make yourself one than you can make yourself a giraffe."
John Ruskin

I wonder if I should learn some of these quotes so I can impress people with my mad skillz? I doubt it will help me fit in but then again I want to find that balance between being a misfit and having friends. I've managed so far but I'm scared I might either repulse everyone or end up coming across as fake.
We shall see.

I just went out to buy milk. Mum was like "Don't walk through the cut, walk round past the pizza shop". The cut stopped being scary murder mystery grass over 2 years ago. The only person I saw was Labrador boy.

"What is wrong with my way of thinking?"

I have fallen deeply in love with Greg Holden's voice.

Mates night out

= Blogging early on a Sunday morning.

I was up too early so I could go on the Girl Guide Centenary celebration.
100 years of Guiding.
I've been involved since I was 5, a Rainbow in a purple tabard.
Now I'm a Ranger and today was quite fun, although we didn't get a go at the good things as the queue for the bungee trampolines was over 2 hours long.
-_-
But there was free popcorn and competitive dance mats.

I went out tonight for Steph (who I've know from ages three) 's 19th.
It was a great night.

Maybe I should say more, maybe not.
I'll keep this short and sweet actually.

Night.
