Bath Time

Hasn’t been 5 posts but I just wanted to express my love for bath time.

Hot, bubbly baths are my favourite. The amount of stress which is taken away is unbelievable. When I bathe, I feel at peace, I am sealed off from the world and taken into silence, into the thoughts of my head, into a place where everything is good.

Relaxation is the key. Just to let the world stop for an hour or two. My stress-free zone is in a steamy bubble bath sipping a wine glass full of cola x

Happy reading, try it x

26. Bin Day

Being a bin man is a tough jobs. I presume that because cities and counties are huge, on average a street could be 10-100 blocks, In one of those blocks there are around 5-10 houses. As well as needing to get round every single house (kind of like Father Christmas), the company have to avoid early disturbances – like waking up citizens who are not morning people – and late disturbances -nobody wants to hear a massive loud lorry and crashing bins whilst having their evening tea – and most important of all….THE TRAFFIC! People trying to get to and from work, school, other important places etc.

Running around every street collecting heavy bins requires a large amount of physical fitness including strength and pace, especially for people who live on extreme hills.

But what angers me is the hate towards the bin services. Yes ok, on a daily basis rubbish is strewn across the street and that is horrible, and yes, sometimes you may find your bin on another part of the street and that could be inconvenient for you.

But really, their job is hard! There are billions and billions of houses and shelters in the world and somehow the company have to dispose of the trash we make rather quickly. I hate it when people shout and get frustrated about the fact that their bin wasn’t put back properly or amounts of rubbish were left on the pavement. They do there job to the best of their ability and on a tight schedule.

Instead of complaining, help each other. So what if there is rubbish on the pavement? Just pick it up and put it in the bin for the next collection, the bin lorry hasn’t disappeared forever. Lets try and support each other when things get rubbish….

25. Disney

To add to the doom and gloom of this blog I post a thing that I love or am passionate about on the blog! I want to have a light and dark side even though I feel mostly dark, however it does help a great deal.

I AM A HUGE DISNEY FAN!!! I know all the movies and just love how much effort is put into the animations. As well as knowing ALL the songs (favourite being ‘Once Upon a Dream’ – Sleeping Beauty, which is my all time favourite ever film! *Apart from Phantom of the Opera*) I am quite familiar with all the voice actors and dates of which they were premiered!

From what I’ve been told, ever since I was 4 I have woken up every morning singing a disney song, and then it progresses through the day as a start to say words between songs and then I end up singing a whole soundtrack…….. I’m a performer, what can I say?

My new family at college have become aware that I sing every minute of the day. Even if a teacher is talking I silently humm…

It has come to the point where 1. I am unaware that I am even singing and                2. When someone is talking to me I start singing because a word they said or the situation they talk about occurs in a disney film or song.

But really, Disney is my favourite thing to watch and listen to ever. I love how you can watch the animations in the order that they came out in and see how improved each one is.

I could ramble on for ages but I won’t.

Share something you love!

24. Annoying Facebook Trends

Ok, something which really makes me grumpy, if not irritated, is ridiculous facebook pictures which ask you stupid questions!

For example:

11209603_844100072343331_2759866350767557939_n

Or…

11149476_762344477243101_6296132148979375209_n

NO! Stop! It really makes me annoyed and I don’t know why? What is it proving? What is it doing? Why waste your time on this stuff and purposely putting junk into my newsfeed?

What’s worse is that everyone does it! I deleted someone that constantly posted this kind of ‘crap’ but then another person started doing it? WHY? What do you want from people? Why do you crave so much attention? Why???

I’m so confused as to why these annoying chains are liked and passed around so much? I really don’t understand our modern world anymore, it seems like we are doing so many pointless things without reason? WHY???

Not so happy reading today, I am at a constant low….help.

23. CORRECT YOUR GRAMMAR!

Just constant idiotic grammar mistakes are made which drives me insane!!

I scroll through my news feeds on a daily basis, and the grammar errors are just really not on, specially when people have auto correct on their phones or whatever!

I always read these comments which say ‘Your beautiful’ or ‘I’ll be their’… WHAT?

I am just so angry, one or two mistakes are tolerable but it’s the same people all the time doing it? Learn your tenses and spellings please!

I understand people struggle with these things, illnesses like dyslexia are very unfortunate and I support those people in doing their best. Bearing in mind I am talking about the United Kingdom, most education is free so why not use it to the fullest?

Sorry

I apologize, the first few days of college has been really busy so I haven’t been able to post much!

College is great though, I took everyone’s advice on the ‘Social Outcast’ post  (https://possiblythemostgrumpy.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/22-social-outcast/) AMAZING! You guys have helped me so much I’ve made loads of friends and they weren’t as unsociable as I thought… A Lovely bunch of people that will hopefully become my second family within the two years of B-tech fun!

Over the course of 3 college days and the weekend we have mixed with the year two college students and have been working on a fake assignment so we know what to do with the real ones in future. However we don’t do much, which is kind of cool 😉 Loads of spare time to muck around or go out into the town.

Sorry again! Will definitely be able to post more frequently now that the introduction to college is over.

22. Social Outcast

Ok, so today I started my first day of college and it was….nerve wracking. I love the course I am doing (B-Tech Performing Arts) and I cant wait to begin performing and connecting with others who are like me….

HOWEVER I NEED HELP!!!

Today I felt like a social outcast, I said a few sentences to people but it didn’t generate into bonding or the beginning of a new found friendship. I felt like everyone else around me were laughing and getting on but I was just on the side watching! And some of these people were very attractive too!

Please help! How do I become one of the ‘popular’ ones for a change? Or at least how do I feel like I’m making lots of connections?

The Darkness

When battling depression we all have our little demons, the voices inside our heads which makes us think and think and think and think and think and…. you get the picture. But we are stuck in a deep dark hole that we cannot escape from.

I have many issues surrounding my unhappiness, one of which is my own body image. I don’t think very much of myself and in a way I think that’t ok. But you have so much pressure from society to be…..something? To keep up with the latest fashions and trends. Everything is judged and everything is though about, even if its something small like rolling up your sleeves.

People shouldn’t have to be ashamed about who they are or who they want to be. There is no such thing as a perfect person.

SO……..here it goes…..a full body picture of me….

No filter just plain me, be proud of yourself and love yourself however hard it may be to find acceptance within.

Happy reading, please keep liking, commenting, following and sharing.

Share this post for anyone you know that is suffering from depression, be proud that you are a fighter x

21. Body Shaming

bodyshaming1

I just hate it when people in society judge a person for their body image.

You do not know every person in the world. You do not know the disabilities one might be suffering from. You do not know how hard a person is trying to stay happy with who they are.

I agree some people don’t know how to control themselves, example; a large woman could be wearing see-through leggings (which no one wants to see) or you might see a large man purchasing nothing but crisps and sweets from a supermarket (have some respect for yourself).

But it isn’t just large people who are judged. SLIM PEOPLE ARE JUDGED AS WELL??! They are denoted to a ‘matchstick’ or ‘twigs wrapped in ducktape’ (usually thin legged men with skinny jeans on). Yet models are usually praised for their thin bodies and ‘gorgeous’ thin figures.

Why does there always have to be discrimination, prejudice and war? We must love each other and respect each other to help make the world work. Cherish what we have and experience things as friends, companions and lovers.

20. Old Classics

Every five grumpy posts I will post one thing that I love or passionate about. It adds a positive side to the doom and gloom. Keep following, your feedback has been really helpful! Thank you so much!

L-H-laurel-and-hardy-30795888-1200-897 wisdomold1501_468x716

There are many things I do love but not as much as old classic tv and film! I’m talking about Jeeves and Wooster, Norman Wisdom, Alfred Hitchcock’s genius productions. They are the comedies and thrillers which make you react positively due to the intelligent writing rather than the modern day ‘f-ing and blinding’.

They share many loved and admired traditions too such as formal speech, example ‘one would like to take a turn around the room’, and also romance which has seemed to have died over the years, the walking in the park scenes and dances at formal balls.

Norman Wisdom is my all time favourite along with Laurel and Hardy, they can give you such joy by using one simple facial expression.
