A Revelation!

Hey people! I just realised that saying this whole blog is random and cool renders it the absolute opposite of that, so well done me. You people are supposed to sit there and think 'this is so random... haha' and I am supposed to keep the fact that that is intentional schtum. Therefore, I need to find new things to say on almost every page of this bloggy thing, joyful times. Oh well, I am bored after all!

Crochet Fingerless Gloves!

OK, I admit it, I have a small passion for crafts and in particular, crochet, however I never have the time with schoolwork and everything else, but, seeing as it is half term I have got back into crochet and made these:
Fingerless gloves! Sorry about the picture, it is difficult to take a picture of both of your hands at the same time. (had to kind of eat my webcam instead... not fun or pretty). However, I am very proud of this work (they only took me around half a day to finish!) and this is the only crochet project I have ever finished! WOW.


I found the pattern here and thanks to ChristieP@2 for submitting this pattern, I love my new gloves! They are an amazing replacement to the one out of a pair which I lost a few weeks ago. I also have a tiny obsession with fingerless gloves... call me weird!

Ugh! D: Valentine's Day!



     Well, it's another February 14th and we all know what that means - Valentine's Day(!), or for some, the day when we get depressed about being once again... single. For me, I have never had a non-single Valentine's Day so it shouldn't matter, but it is the time of year when you 'aww' at everyone's red and pink heart shaped chocolates, roses and anything else they've been given by loved ones. Never in my life have I been someone's 'Valentine' and never have I had one (not that I very much understand this term...).

     Who here is particularly depressed this Day of St. Valentine. Has anyone had the best present - dumping by text or that kind of thing you see in movies, when teenage girls (or full-grown adults you just can't help but laugh at) cry over 'happy valentine's! its over' sort of texts/cards/notes on flowers etcetera?  Got some funny stories? got some stories you might cry over, but some may laugh at (come on, you will too in a couple of years...)? Or even a story that is so damn funny you laughed when you were told it by your best friend - the victim? SHARE! we all love to find joy in others' misery - that is how we humans are the pinnacle of the animal kingdom - we're lovely beings really! (sensing sarcasm? it's appropriate.)

    So, on this day of joy and love and all those gooey mushy feelings, why not take a moment to think about those less fortunate, those who, on this day, are possibly suicidal, and those who have been the victims of these movie-like scenarios we all hate to love (or love to hate, not suite sure...)

    PAH! Who am I kidding? There are surely much more worthy things to think about; those idiots who chose to follow the footsteps of the movie 'heartthrobs' and those who lie in bed crying with joy over a rose they've been given are nothing. They simply choose to wallow in the sheer money-making aspect of this occasion. It is a publicity thing in which companies take money from those stupid enough to take the bait - I'm not going to lie, if I actually had someone to pointlessly spend this money on, then I probably would, otherwise, what am I? Some kind of Valentine's Day Scrooge. That's just not a good title. Point blank stupid.

    The moral? Spend that money if you can, be 'happy' (you might just be one of those depressed next year...) - but if you are one of those who are clinically depressed from the holiday, don't be so selfish - maybe take a moment to think of those who actually lost their loved ones, like, literally, for example soldiers fighting for their country. Gone. Think a bit more openly once in a while, and don't be fed up because other's have relationships over the point of friendship.
    It just ain't worth it.

Movie: Black Swan! :/

Last weekend, I went to the cinema to see Black Swan with my friends - its really good (as it should be with the number of awards its won!). However, very disturbing/slightly (understatement) graphic too though - I do recommend it although do not watch it with parents or younger siblings - I say this as a very non-squeamish person. Just don't.

I actually found it very different to how I imagined - not that I imagined much, I had no idea what it was about, but it is worth the watch as long as you don't mind sexually graphic scenes (both homosexual and heterosexual sex there), and blood (lots of blood, including self-harm) - basically, if you get easily grossed out, stay well away :P

SLAM! Chris Brown :/

My first slam is on Chris Brown who I personally hate, because of what he did to Rihanna (it is, however, annoying that he makes good music...). Don't you just love how, in his new video, for yeah 3x, it features children who are like 'Yay Chris Brown! you are not an evil girlfriend beater at all! we all love you!', isn't a bit obvious that he is trying to win back people's hearts with the young children screaming his name? He does annoy me like that. oh well. I think I might 'slam' on maybe a weekly basis - purely for the ranting pleasure :) Is slam a good thing to call it?

Personally, despite my severe dislike for Chris Brown, I love chipmunk's new song featuring Chris: Champion. Shame I hate him huh?

100 VIEWS!

I now officially have 100 views, so thank you. I promise I won't do this every time I reach a number of views which is a multiple of 50, cross my heart :)

Well, I haven't posted here properly in a while, or like, ever. i need ideas! god I didn't realise how completely boringly random this random blog would be - it was supposed to make you crease with laughter! (you're smiling aren't you? you're smiling!)

I just realised - 'blog' is being recognised as not 'in the dictionary', however, when it shows you suggestions, 'glob' shows up - because that is more of a word... (sensing the sarcasm there...)

Anyway, ideas please, is this completely boring? am I totally sad? :/

:D
