When Baby Animals Attack!!

There doesn't seem to be a NaBloPoMo prompt today, so I've decided to post an epic picspam. There is 21 images, mostly baby animals and geekery.

Wishlist

As most of you know... it's almost my birthday!

I'll be 25, which if a pretty scary number... I'm a quarter of a century OLD!
I guess I feel a bit blah about turning 25 because I'm yet to experience things in life that most people have, Love, Relationships....blah blah blah etc. *sadface*
But enough *sadface* it's happy.... it's my birthday... the one day of the year I have a good excuse to be a selfish cow (not that I ever am :D) and the one question I HATE hearing is... "What do you want for your birthday!?" GAH! I am a hard person to buy for, because if I find something I want... I buy it for myself, it's that simple. So I've decided to do a little wishlist, just to help everyone along... but considering people who will be buying me gifts (family and non-awesome "real life" friends) don't (and never will) read this blog... it's pretty much just gratuitous (oooooh! don't you just LOVE that word? Say it with me... gra-tu-i-tous)

• Finish This Book by Keri Smith
• Nerd Do Well by Simon Pegg... the softcover version (so I don't break my face when I fall asleep while reading it.... There's a funny story about that! Have you seen the new biography on Steve Jobs? It's about 2 inches thick and hardcover... long story short... I fell asleep and woke up with a bloody nose!!!)
• Minecraft cake... this might possibly happen!!
• Tribble
• Minecraft Sheet Magnets
• Minecraft Foam Pickaxe
• Someone who is more creative then me, to make me THIS! or THIS!
• anything from thinkgeek.com
• Don't Panic towel
• AT-AT Walker Statue (not going to put any links here... just to confuse you all a little!)
• There is so much more that for some reason I can't think of!!!! DAMMIT!

There are heaps of things I want, that I know I'll probably never get! Like a Ford Mustang, Trip to Mars, Eli Roth etc. but a girl can dream.... Maybe a trip to Mars in a Ford Mustang with Eli Roth.... *drools*

NaBloPoMo - Paper Or Screen?

When you are writing, do you prefer to use a pen or a computer?

It all depends on where I am and how I'm feeling.

I have so many notebooks, mostly half filled with random dribble, personal entries, fanfiction, short stories and ideas, dream and inspirations.
I love seeing handwritten journals and diaries.

But being a blogger, I also love using my computer to write. I have numerous folders dedicated to different types of writing. Personal, fanfiction, blog posts that I start planning but never finish... EVERYTHING!
I love writing lists... whether in be on the computer or on paper. I think handwritten lists are the best. If I find a piece of paper on the ground at work I always check to see if it's a list. I used to collect them, but I have misplaced them when I moved house :(

When I was in primary school and early highschool my friends and I used to write stories all the time, but I found once school started to get harder and my friends interested changed I began to write less and less.
I wish I was into writing stories again. I have lots of ideas, but can't seem to get them down. Damn my brain!

Now for a We Heart It picspam... today's magic word is "Journal"

NaBloPoMo - Writing & Music!

Can you listen to music and write? What song did you hear today?

The second I get up in the morning (or afternoon depending on how lazy I am) I turn on my computer and open iTunes and press play. Music plays pretty much every waking hour. I think my life would be a very quiet and sad place without music. So the answer to the first part of the questing is YES!

Last night I discovered Skylar Grey. She's a singer/songwriter that has written some pretty good songs including "Love The Way You Lie" which is sang by Rihanna. This morning I was lucky enough to find Skylars original demo of "Love The Way You Lie" and it is so much better than Rihannas'

I've listened to it about 15 times since I downloaded it. She has a new album due out by the end of the year, and I'm hoping the other songs are just as good. I'm not usually one to listen to female singers, but her voice is really good, and the lyrics are excellent.

This is the only sing I have listened to today. But now I'm off to work to listen to stupid CD that repeats every hour! :(

NaBloPoMo - Last Meal

If you knew that whatever you ate next would be your last meal, what would you want it to be?

This seemed like a hard one. Because if I knew it was going to be my last meal I would probably be an emotional wreck, but in saying that, I don't think I would want to spend my last day sad and depressed.

I would like to sit down and have a meal with my family. Probably a roast pork (with crackling), mash potatoes, vegetables and all the extras. Followed by dessert. My mum's homemade lemon chessecake and my aunts cream puffs and then my uncles signature vanilla custard. But I think it would be the people I'm with not the meal that would be the really important thing.

I was going to add a picture of a yummy roast dinner but for some reason google doesn't want to find it for me... everything else it has no trouble, but as soon as I search "roast dinner" it doesn't work!!! FAIL!

NaBloPoMo - Favourite Part About Writing

What is your favourite part about writing?

Freedom and expression. I'm not very creative when it comes to arts & crafts, and I'm no good at sports (I think if I was a little bit healthier that might be different) Writing is my way of expressing myself. I'm shy in real life, I'm no good at small talk and starting conversations... where writing gives me a barrier between me and the audience. In writing I can be anything, anywhere and with anyone. Some times is distracts me from my "poor sad life" sometime I use it to express how awesome my life is. Writing (blogging in particular) allows me to show my real side, no masks, no hiding. In real life I find myself adapting to my surroundings, not talking about the things I really love, because I know people would not understand. Online the people that read my blog and writings are people that found themselves here because they like the same things I do.

I don't think I'm a very good writer. I'm getting better over time. I still have trouble getting my thoughts onto paper (or screen). I'm a little bit of a Grammer Nazi :) I try to make sure that the fullstops and commas are in the correct places, Capitals in the right spot (not like that :D) and that I use the appropriate words... don't get me started of Where, Were and We're or Their, There and They're!!!

Writing is my expression tool. When I'm sad I write... I can sometimes be found awake at 3am surrounded with pages of scribble. It's my way of getting everything out, out of my mind so I can sleep!

I'm hoping that NaBloPoMo will help me develop my writing skills. I'm looking forward to the prompts and I hope you're looking forward to reading my posts. Stay tuned!

NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month

I've decided to participate in NaBloPoMo or National Blog Posting Month. It started on November 1st and because I was so busy I completely forgot, so I'm going to pre-date the posts to their correct days, so I apologise for the little bit of confusion... but luckily there is only 3 :)

People I know are doing their own versions, but I'm going to use the writing prompts on the NaBloPoMo site. I know that I will miss some, and probably won't get to the end of the month... but I will try not to fail this one :)
