I hate hats

I hate those little hats that girls wear that look stupid and fedoras that guys wear, also girls wearing fedoras more so. I only like big floppy hats. All other hats serve no purpose and have no individuality at all.

These are the kinds of hats girls wear that are ridiculous. That baby looks adorable, but I still hate them!

Dear people that wear those hats,
Stop it.

Sincerely,
Ellie Self
Wearer of big floppy hats and co.

Review of Lush Running to the Embassy


Lush: Foot scrub, moisturiser and conditioner. If you walk a lot, run, stand around in high heels, stand around on bare feet or just feel like a pedicure to scrub away your surplus skin, grab your minty Running to the Embassy bar. Get yourself a bowl of warm water and give each foot a soak, a soothing African Marigold, spearmint and peppermint massage and a good old scrub. Peace for feet.

I so agree. I love mint, all things minty are delicious (I'm so far loving the new Dirty line at Lush)

So here's some stuff about it:
>Smells awesome
>Has a good, not to hard scrub - kind of like a pumice stone, if it had cocoa butter in it and lathered
>It has a nice creamy lather that doesn't take away from the scrub
>Takes off heaps of dead skin

I love this, this is great

"We must always be vigilant, ready at a moment’s notice to descend into mass hysteria"

I like this quote, it's related to the recent somewhat crazy meltdown most Lushies had after the big cheese of Lush mentioned something on the forums about selling Lush to L'occitane. Then after seeing Living The Lush Life's (where the quote is from) post about it and all the freaked out people in the comments, he told us that they were not planning on selling Lush and that we should all calm down.

A collective sigh of relief among Lushies around the world.

I'm kinda pissed with the top fudge at Lush, right now. Why would he say that even somewhat if it wasn't remotely true? Was he trying to get a rise out of us? Make us think they were selling and stock up on our favourite products? What did you want?!

I still love Lush, but I'm worried now that they could sell at any moment and my entire regime would change.

If you want to read where the quote is from, it's here and also the above link.

There is a light in my lounge room on a timer

and it turns off at 9:55PM every night. Yet night after night I don't turn on the regular light or expect the room to suddenly go dark. Every night it makes me jump and takes me ages before I actually decide it's worth it to turn on the ceiling light Hey! I have a lot of shit to do, okay?

Instead I just turn on my keyboard back lighting and ignore the creepy feeling that is quickly sinking in around me.


I keep on getting emails from "Denise", it's my fault, I subscribed to her newsletter, except, every time I get the email, my inner monologue is like "ugh, another no last named person trying to sell me something" and then I realise who it is and realise it's not the man version "Dennis", it's the female version "Denise". Though she isn't really helping it when her newsletter is just a typed email with nothing interesting or different about it. Her emails really do seem like a scammer's emails.

That isn't related to anything, I just got an email from Denise and I thought I'd tell you about it.
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Nothin', that's right.

Anyway, it is 10:02PM in Australia time and I am getting sleepy, which means I need to take my flaxseed and iron tablet. I'm taking flaxseed for being tired all the time (Tim Ferris, interpreted by my brother, says it'll help). I used to take the pills, but apparently the liquid oily version works better, so I'm trying that and let me tell you, it's horrible. It's really, really frightfully gross and creepy.
What I just wrote was really boring...Oh well. I'm sure you'll get over it and get on with your life.

Now I'm gonna go drink (gross, drink) two tablespoons of flaxseed oil and try not to gag. See you guys in a few days.

I don't like to ride the bus for a few reasons...

When I get a text, my phone makes nearly the exact same noise as the next stop ding the bus makes. 9 out of 10 times, I reach for my phone a bit before every stop.

Getting up and walking to the front of the bus before my stop is scary and makes me stumble and feel like I'm about to face plant.

If a friend sits next to me, they always want to talk and I feel rude if I want to listen to music. I'm tired after school/anywhere else a bus can take me, I really just want to listen to my tunes.

Reading on the bus makes me feel sick, so my only options are the above two (it also makes me feel dorky).

Sometimes the guy I like catches my bus, but he has heaps of friends on the bus, so I'm just sitting there staring at him whilst listening to Band of Skulls tell me "It's impossible", feeling sorry for myself.

Buses rarely stop right outside your house and sometimes it rains.

Buses don't have their own wifi.

And that is why I don't like buses, though they are convenient and otherwise useful.

Ahhh! New episode of Doctor Who! Oh my God! I can't even comprehend what I just watched

(spoilers, probably (definitely))


AHHHHHHH! How could they end it like that?! Amy, my God, what just happened!

Damn you, Moffat! Why would you do that to me?!?

I'M SO CONFUSED!

People who have already watched the newest episode of Doctor Who (S06E01 for future people), what is going on?! Moffat, you crazy bastard. Did Amy just shoot a little girl/boy (still confused about the gender)? Did Moffat seriously just end it there?! I have a weird feeling that she didn't actually kill the child, but she shot River instead? I feel like River is going to end up being the astronaut (all I can imagine is her in the space suit in The Library) and she keeps being really suspicious about her future. Is it just me or was that episode really, really different to all the other episodes? (I get with the new producer and everything, it's going to be different, but I'm worried). Are those creatures "The silence"? It seemed that they were, but how can so many creatures be one thing?

Pretty sure that if The Doctor is actually supposed to die in the first episode, there will be Whovians all over the world that will revolt and possibly destroy Steven Moffat, and not just because it's The Doctor dying, because we were all so excited for a new season and if it turns out to be completely based around River, Amy and Rory, I will personally send a very angry letter to Steven Moffat and he will not be pleased with it at all.

Hey! People with fairly long series that are probably watched by a whole lot of nerds

I have a beef with you! Please stop releasing box sets of DVDs with like fifty million DVDs that only have two episodes on each disk. That's really annoying.

Yeah, I'm talking to you, Torchwood.
I love you, but you're ridiculous sometimes. I have to put my foot down, Torchwood. Can you put all your shows on like two disks or something? I'd manage if it was less than four, but seven. Seven disks? Why?

In other news, I love Ianto.
