The Best Thing About Today #32

The only thing that's brought me the spirit of Christmas so far this year:

This week I've mostly been #1

Hello! So this is pretty self explanatory as much of my features are.

Mainly:

• Skipping: My new favourite way to exercise! I can now walk up stairs without feeling like I might die any second. Always a good thing to not want to end your life after walking for a few seconds I think.
• Listening to remixes: Especially Fake Blood, Jakwob and Rusko. Hello greatness. Fake Blood remix of the week for me is definitely Calvin Harris' Ready For the Weekend which you can listen to on Spotify. Jakwob is definitely the remix of Ellie Goulding's Starry Eyed which has been floating about various blogs for months now, always receiving rave reviews. And finally, Rusko's remix of Adele's Cold Shoulder is simply brilliant. These tunes often accompany the aforementioned skipping.

The desires of our heart.

This week I've learnt that if you want something enough then it won't arrive when you want it to. The meaning of trust is more real now than ever before, and all this springs out of an affirmation of the word love. Such a simple throwaway verb to some, used as lightly as a common noun but such a crucial and devestatingly concept to others.

Nothing you desire with all your heart will be served upon a silver platter with a side salad of anything worth your time. I am discovering that real life is hard work, out of the student bubble and facing a life that I didn't imagine or expect. Maintaining relationships is hard work, juggling emotions is hard work, facing disappointment and having your expectations challenged is hard work. All things that are worth waiting for require a dedication to the cause.

Within a time of longing where you strive for a moment to finally arrive or find yourself sitting in a pool of uncertainty - remember that it's not good things that come to those who wait. Let's redifine those thoughts and believe that it is amazing things that will come and distill a negative and blurred vision of need.

I'm trying. I'm trying to believe that hope and trust and above all, love, will reap many rewards.

i don't own my clothes but i own my mind
it's not what you've lost it's what you find

Cat Hat.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT!
COS A CAT'S THE ONLY CAT,
WHO KNOWS WHERE IT'S AT!

(Why wouldn't you pose with a cockerel?!)

Kristen Schaal plays Mel, the super super super stalker superfan in Flight Of The Chonchords. As Mel, she has many fine moments. As Kristen, she probably has a lot more such as when she was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks and this happened:
