January the Fourth 2014

Sushi, Sims and a Philosophical Moment. 

Okay, so this morning I was woken around eleven by my mother.  At first I was my normal morning self [Note: Grumpy, still under my blankets, speaking a language that is sometimes known as 'mumbling'.] then she asked me if I wanted to get some sushi.  HOW COULD I TURN DOWN FRIED CHICKEN SUSHI.  So I 'woke' up and did my make up then we went on our merry way.  Before Bento though we stopped off at our local cheap shop and while we were there I bought some school supplies.  Well, I say school supplies but I really mean I bought some lime green wrapping paper, on roll has polka dots, to cover my school books. Then we went to Bento, I got a fried chicken sushi roll and some friend chicken on the side because it's yummy.  While I was waiting for my order to be made I stopped into EB games because it's next door to see if they had the Sims game my brother wanted but couldn't find in store and couldn't get online and guess what guys... IT WAS THERE. He owes me big time for finding that...

Anyway from there we went to Kmart and just... Looked?   I think we were looking for something.... Oh yeah! That brown wrapping paper that everyone always used to have covering their school books when they're in primary school! I wanted some to go with my green book coverings.  I'm going to make my books look so pretty for my last year of official education! I'll post some pictures when I'm done! 

What was I saying?  Oh yes, I was recounting my day.  So after Kmart we came home and I helped take down our Christmas decorations and tree.  We left the window sill lights up because we're lazy... Then I went to watch Benny Boy (my brother) play Sims until I came upstairs to my room and just sort of.. Scrolled... The Mary Poppins was on TV so I watched the beginning of that until my brother said I could play Sims then I went and 'played' Sims meaning I just sort of looked at all the new stuff before he kicked me off again.. So rude.. 

And then here I am.  Actually in between that I was talking to Leprechaun's friend (through his Facebook account.  Shh don't let him know), still am actually.  She's quite friendly.  I like her.  We're having a discussion and well I thought I could share a little.
Becca: Oh gosh I'm surrounded by sex vixens.. Or is it minx's?
L's Friend: Minx for a girl.
Becca: Well Vixen is a female fox...
L's Friend: Or vixen?  I think either applies.
Becca: Same..
L's Friend: Oh well.. Just go with what is comfortable..
Becca: Or make a really long statement using both.
Becca: Oh golly gosh, I'm surrounded by sex crazed vixens.  The audacity of those minx's is astounding.
Becca: And by really long apparently I meant three lines.
L's Friend: Oh... Oh yes... That is perfect..

I then went on to say I should post it here blog because frankly it was so eloquently put...  

So yeah.  Here I am.  I can't remember what the philosophical thought I had was but I'm sure it's the only reason any of you have read up to this point.  So yeah, sorry about that.. 

I think I'm going to go off and read some trashy YA now.. Not sure.. I should probably wash my make up off but I'm just so lazy that I can't be bothered.. Maybe I'll just live with the breakouts for the next two days?  

Also an additional note I also decided I like my men to have tattoos.. And sort of have a bad reputation for being tough and stuff but for it to just be a reputation kept alive by rumors.. I don't even know why.. Maybe have him into like street fighting and stuff but for it to just be his stress relief strategy.. Not for him to have anger issues.. And he can be all cute with me.. 

Yeah.. That's never going to happen.. I'm going now.. 

Live long and prosper, godspeed.

January the Third 2014

Internet Addictions and Dream Boyfriends. 

So I was just sitting here scrolling through Tumblr when I looked at the time and realised I should probably write up today's post before I forget.  I got up a word document -because I write everything there first- and sat staring at the screen for ten minutes before I realised that I didn't do anything today.

Well I did, I woke up early for once (9 am, yes you may applaud), went outside to buy Sims things, was bought McDonalds lunch by mother dearest then came home and Tumbled and Simmed.  So I DID do some things, but nothing exciting or eventful or interesting or I'm babbling aren't I?

Anyway so I thought I would just write whatever comes to my head so I at least seem partially interesting, right?

Hmm, so earlier I was laying in my bed reading a book (Skim-reading, I've read it 8 times already... Just wanted to read the cute bits) and I realised how much I just wanted a cute male to be my boyfriend and to give me cuddles and make me hot chocolate and to hide under the blankets and protect me when there is a thunder storm -yes, they scare me.  But then I started thinking about this other character who is like really rebel and bad boy but sweet at heart and really all out alpha male and really protective and I decided that that combination is what I want.  Then I remembered where I live and that those sort of males don't occupy my area.  In fact I'm like 85% sure those sort of guys don't exist... Meh, I guess I'll have to stick to my book boyfriends.

So there's this web series called The Lizzie Bennett Diaries and it's absolutely spectacular, it's a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice set up as vlogs on YouTube.  It's REALLY good, so go watch that, there is also Emma Approved which is a modern retelling of Emma and it's really good too.  I suggest you all go check that out! 

Hmm.. OH there's this game on my phone that I've been obsessed with! It's called MyBoo, it's a free app and it's so cute and slightly addictive.. So I'm going to go and keep scrolling or maybe read.. Not sure.. 

Live long and prosper, godspeed.

January the Second 2014

Holidays, Sims, Sherlock and ADHD 

So as those who live in Australia might know I am currently on holidays –summer holidays to be specific.  They end sometime in February but I can’t remember what date.. Anyway, so far these holidays [which for me began on the 16^th of November] I’ve mostly just been doing... Nothing.  I’ve read a few books, watched some movies, bought a hell of a lot of books and set this blog up.  But other than that they’ve been rather uneventful.  Unfortunately it looks like the rest of my holidays will be just as uneventful.  Why?  Because the other day my brother re-installed The Sims 3 and all the expansion and stuff packs we own onto a new computer that is designed for games.  What does this mean?  Well I’m probably going to fail grade 12 and loose whatever social life I’ve managed to create this last year... Am I worried?  Hell no, I have Sims! 

Now ever since I was 10 I’ve been obsessed with The Sims... I played The Sims 2 and had all the stuff and expansion packs.  When we moved to Tasmania we left our old computers in WA thinking The Sims 2 would work on our new laptops.  It didn’t.  So my mum went out and started buying The Sims 3 for us, unfortunately our laptops couldn’t handle that amount of data and they all started to die.... Anyway, so this Simmer has been without Sims for over two years.  The only reason I’m not playing currently is because my brother is checking out the last EP, Into The Future.  He’s much more into the science and simbot and plantsim side of Sims whereas I’m more into legacy Sims.. Anyway so yeah..

What have I been doing today?  Well I was reading a book called Finding Sky but I can’t remember the authors name, anyway, I was reading that until five this morning.  After that I fell asleep and I woke up at three in the afternoon.  So I haven’t really done much.... Mostly Sims... I already have a family but we just got our stuff and expansion packs back from Cookie so I want to create a new family so I can take full advantage of all the features.  

In other news, Sherlock Season Three premiers today... I want to watch it like you wouldn’t believe but I’m scared because I’ve waited so long and it’s not that I expect to be disappointed but I don’t know.. I’m just scared, like I am to read Allegiant by Veronica Roth.. Even though I don’t know what happens in Sherlock.. That doesn’t make much sense...

Also, last night I saw a video on jacksgap.com by a boy called Josh about ADHD and how the medications prescribed to ‘help’ interfere with our emotions and personality.  I’ve never really been able to explain it to my friends or even family what it’s like but Josh captures it perfectly and explains it in such a clear simple way.  I posted it here so go check it out.

Live long and prosper, godspeed.

A Look At ADHD and the Side Effects Of The Medication Currently Prescribed.

Little Thoughts: January the First

Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book.  Write a good one.

January the First 2014

It’s a new year and a challenge has been set.
 2014.  12 months.  52 weeks.  365 days.

To blog every day for a year. 

This is my challenge, let’s begin.

So the most obvious thing to post on the first of January is my New Year’s Resolutions list.  Wouldn’t you agree? But before I get onto that I’d like to make some things clear.  Although I intend to blog about practically everything this coming year there will be many things that I don’t blog about because they’re private.  I’m not making this blog for anyone else but myself but I’m thrilled to be able to share my year with you all and I hope that you can respect the fact that blogging everyday whilst still in school (especially when that year of school is my last) is very difficult and there may be some days where I only post a sentence or even a pre-written post just as a fill-in.  But I will try my best.  

Now onto the resolutions! 

Now, my intention is to write an extra entry for each resolution I complete and if it’s one such a ‘Join the Gym’ then I’ll write monthly updates.  I don’t intend to complete all of these because I’m realistic and I know I’m extremely lazy but I’m going to try my best. 

Here goes:

Becca’s New Year’s Resolutions!

Be healthy and get toned. 

Get a new wardrobe and find MY own fashion sense.

Learn how to apply make-up and do so.

Make new friends.

Blog every day, and post a Vlog update once a week once this blog gets underway..?

Get a job that pays well and save, save, save.

Buy a boyfriend.  Oh you can’t buy those?  How does someone acquire one?

Be more open to opportunities that arise in the community.

Take some chances. 

Eat healthier!  More sushi and smoothies, yum!

Write the draft to one novel.  I mean, I want to be a novelist and that means I have to finish a book one day, right?

Form a stronger friendship bond with my best friends.  And strengthen my ties with other friends that I’ve drifted away from. 

Get rid of my pimples.

Get my passport, and plan my European/US of A Gap Year. 

Spend less time being a hermit.

Don’t procrastinate.  As much.

Get my driver’s license.

Work on my flirting.  I have a lot of stories for you all....
Eat a lot of fudge. 

Have fun, but not too much fun.  ;)

Read 100 books –short stories included. 

Try not to get myself killed.  It would be such a shame to deprive you all of my humour. 

Make more New Year’s resolutions to not fulfil.... Because honestly the likelihood of me completing more than two of these is low...  –Thank you Leprechaun for this lovely addition. 

So there you have it.  My 2014 New Year’s Resolutions.  

Live long and prosper, godspeed.

Becca.
