Buddhism,Tye-Dye and Doing Nice Boys.


Today was a good day.

I finally got some nag champa incense sticks, which seems to be impossible to get in Bournemouth? It's made my room smell lovely.

Also I bought two little books. One is a weeny one on Buddhism, which I've been looking into recently.

I think Buddhism has good ideals and I want to know more.

So I bought that little book and couldn't help but see 'Saltwater Buddha' ; A true story about a young surfer who left home and went on search for zen in the barrel of a wave. It looks like it might steal me for a week or so.

Anyway so those were my little buys. Oh no I forgot one thing. I got a cheap white tee-shirt because my pal Harry is going to help me tye-dye it. I think it will be successful.

I'm 21 on the 2nd February. That's really soon. That's crazy.

I also had a very confusing evening last week. Which I will not go into for my own dignities sake. But it definitely left me guessing and questioning and feeling at risk of being made a fool of.

Ooooh the mysteryyyyy. Will you ever know the truth....? The story unfolds.

Nah it's not really that interesting.

So tonight I was meant to go out for a drink with a friend but ended up staying in consoling one friend then having a late night Ukulele jam with another lovely ffrind; Gareth. He taught me some things which was very kind. We played about with my song a bit which was exciting and I even sang in front of him. Which only Victor, my famalam and an extremely select few who manage to catch me drunk and musical have ever witnessed. But it was chill.

Six Nations begins next week. Super duper excited. Bloody love Rugby. bloody love sexy rugby boys. Bloody love muddy, sweaty, sexy rugby boys drinking pints.
I'm definitely Welsh.

I've taken the liberty of giving myself a few days off uni work because I am getting excited about being 21 and that, I've decided, is allowed.

On a completely more cringey and wet note. I think I'm very cynical about men/boys/people with willys. Although I think I'm fairly good at avoiding being 'played' I do think I'm starting to get a little extreme.

Some boys are nice. And I wasn't ever denying that. I have loads of guy friends that are loyal and kind and supportive as friends but are douche-bags to girls when it becomes slightly romantic.

Maybe that is why I am cynical; because I know that it goes on.

Anyway I know it's too late for new year resolutions, but this can be a 'better self resolution';
To simply not be so judgey-judgingson-accusey-assumption-y.

This could go well or it could end in tears (mine). To be honest I probably will still keep my wits about me, but I will endeavour to be less brash about it.

Otherwise I will never get laid. With a nice boy. It's incredibly easy to get laid with a not-so-nice boy ya know...But why would you want anything not-so-nice inside your lovely vagina? I don't think you would. Basic principles there ladies.

I am the new-age wise woman Buddha.

Bold claims all over the shop today. Right, that's all for now

2012. I predict a breakdown.


Ahhh its 2012, We are all turning 21 and we have dissertations and jobs and grown up things to be dealing with.

I have some resolutions that I talked about in my last post. I think I'm going strong so far. I wore a skirt AND make up the other day (resolution 1: be more ladylike) . I've been living in the library collecting research and references for my dissertation which is good (resolution 2: nail dissertation)...although my time hasn't been fully utilised academically I've definitely spotted some sexy 4th years who are working on a project together. They are just lovely. Just so lovely. In fact, I think my time in the library has been extremely productive. I have both been working, taking in good aesthetics (which stimulates the brain) and being social (with my eyes...words are rare). Hell I'm good.

I'M AN AUNTY!!!

Also, who said chivalry is dead? Because yesterday a boy smiled at me AND held the door for me. Isn't that nice.

Oooh I had a fortune cookie that said : "You will meet your ideal partner this year"...WAHEYYY. Although I did get it on the 28th of December...which would give me less than a week. And it's now in the past and the year is over...

Whatevs.

I'm actually still super happy being single. I'm having a ball. I don't even ever feel lonely. I wouldn't mind a rendezvous though. As in maybe a drink or a cuppa tea. More for my ego than for anything else.

I had a lovely time at home at Christmas. Saw some good old pals. Said farewell to Biki. She's in Asia for 5 months AGAIN. And she just messaged me saying she's covered in bed bug bites and mosquito bites. HA!

But it is warm and she is in a hammock and she is surrounded by sexy, tanned, topless men. I enjoy those types of men. Why are there none here?

I've discovered my type. My type is Pembrokeshire boys. In jeans, skate/surf tee's and wild hair. Not pretentious posh types who roam with a board the size of a table trying to look nonchalant.

This discovery is unfortunate though, for several reasons.
1) I am not in Pembrokeshire.
2) My very lovely ex is in Pembrokeshire.
3) He is friends with all the other lovely boys.

Not that I would necessarily go there. I think I need to find somewhere else LIKE Pembrokeshire. Preferably with jobs. And cheap houses...and BOYS.

My Dissertation is driving me crazy. Why can't I find any decent journals on my topic? I was all excited and chuffed about having an original topic but now it really pissing me off. Why didn't I just do it on something cliché like sexism or eating disorders?

Also I've got a project I forgot about thats worth nearly as much as my dissertation.
Also I have an essay due
Also I have work in the night time
ALSO MY HAIR IS SHIT. WHY IS IT SO SHIT?

On the bright side the sun is out. My feet are defrosting and I have veggie sausages in the oven.

Jesus, I'm so scatty today. Must stop this and become a pencil skirt wearing intellect with nice hair.


That's all for now. Hope you all had a lovely festive period!
