Blog, I Think This Is The Beginning Of A Beautiful Friendship

I've got a lab report about how the body temperature of locusts can affect their movement due in tomorrow at 10am (14 hours away).
So I'm writing this blog. What can I say? I procrastinate. And I do it well.

For what I think is the millionth blog in a row I'll start by saying I've not really done much since my last blog. The truth is that I've actually done a lot; if sleeping, eating, reading books and watching tv actually counted as social activities. Sometimes they do, in the majority of cases for me they don't.

But hey, who needs people when you've got Merlin? Yeah I want people too #sadtimes.

Since I'm on the subject of Merlin I'll start there:
HOLY CRAP HAVE PEOPLE BEEN WATCHING SEASON FIVE?! IT'S FREAKING AMAZING! And if you don't watch it *cough* RHONA. You should be. It's seriously amazeballs.  No judging, that's a real word now. No jokes. I'm ashamed of myself too, don't worry.

So yeah, life-changing events in the past two weeks.. Erm, none I don't think :/. I did have a close brush with losing an eye to scissors, but that's it. And I learnt a valuable lesson from that experience: Never let the hyper dog sit beside you when you're cutting your hair. Especially when you're cutting your fringe and have the sharp meat scissors about half an inch from your eyeballs. I didn't follow this common sensical advice and ended up nearly losing an eye, and having a fringe which is shorted than I wanted and makes me look about 5 years younger:
 Seriously, I look about 12, not 18 :(. Plus ignore my face. My face should just be ignored as a general rule.

But hey, full fringe! You're back! And as much as I hated you when you were first cut about an inch shorter than you were wanted, you're starting to grow on me. A bit.

The rest of the stuff that's happened has been just as small and unimportant.
I beat my 12 year old sister at Monopoly Junior= win
I lost the instructions to the Game Of Life (best game ever) = lose
My football team are now winning 6-4 = win. At least until tonight when we're currently playing the best team in the league. And as I'm typing this sentence we're *just* losing 17-13.
My dad's football team are sucking serious ass. In their current game they're losing 24-3 =win
I lost a bar of chocolate. In my bed. I've been looking for about 3 hours. =lose
I bought a new hat = win
My sleeping patterns are seriously messed up. I've been going to sleep about 5am and waking up about 2pm. Which sucks = lose
So yeah, nothing really important. But anyway, I got a new tshirt! And a belt! And they're both Marvel!


The shirt says "I met him on the web!"
It really is that awesome/sad; delete as you see appropriate.

But hey, in 6 days it's December! And December means Pantomime, food, Christmas jumpers and onesies and generally good times. It also marks the first time Rhona, Emily, Melissa and I will have been together since September. Which has been waay too long.
But I've got my wee Christmas tree for my room, I've got my Santa hats, my Santa costume for the dog <3, Christmas dinner's at my house this year which means I have to make starters for everyone which means pressure which means I'm mildly freaking out.
But hey, CHRISTMAS. Home Alone, Polar Express, presents, and maybe this year I'll finally watch The Snowman. I tried a few years ago, but I fell alseep. Although waking up to the end of The Snowman was more fun than last year when I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up to my Dad hacking at zombies with a rusty knife on Dead Island. That was scary.
Plus I get to open my Spiderman advent calendar :D
The only bad thing about Christmas? I'll end up spending shit loads of money.

So yeah, there's my blog. If I ever do something exciting, you'll know about it. Until then, I hope I don't bore you all too much

Less Of A Random Killing Machine, More Of A Personal Blog

Howdy Blog Readers and fellow inhabitors of Earth!
It's been two weeks since I wrote a blog and I've finished all my weekly tv so I thought I would write one now. Even if I've not done much the past 2 weeks.
Literally all I've done is procrastinated and occasionally socialised. Which is normal for me, nothing exciting there.
Although I did a terrible thing. A truly terrible thing. I missed a lab tutorial on bar graph and writing the results section of a lab report the week I received a new assessment. Guess what it was on? 10 points to you if you said I had to write the results section of a lab report. #Typical. So yeah, I didn't really know what I was doing and according to the chat on the website, neither did anyone else. I'm not even sure the lecturers knew what we were to do. So I put off doing it, like I always do and then realised on the monday morning that I was going to love 50% of the marks if I was late handing it in without an excuse. So I emailed in saying I had a family emergency in England. I'm terrible. But they believed it (not sure how) and I eventually went back to uni on Friday and handed it in :). Well, I say I went back to uni, I turned up, got really bored and left before the second lecture. I'm just a shining example of a model student :D.
Best hot water bottle ever

On a complete side note, I'm typing this at 23.47pm on a Sunday night and I've got this lump sitting on me:
I love having a dog. Even the currently bald one that's making it really difficult to type because she's so far up my legs.
But still, unconditional love=happy Caitlin


In other, slightly boring news I found a tv show called Jake 2.0 that is awesome! It's basically Chuck without the Intersect and with nanites to make him cooler. But it's so good, I recommend it to everyone. Plus (sadly) there's only 16 episodes due to low ratings because of a shit timeslot (UPN 9pm Wednesday) that kills any show placed in it. Shitty UPN and their shitty timeslot placement.
But yeah, watch it. Love it or risk my wrath.

Ignore the face, it's weird. Like always, but still
I also went shopping the other day and in between all the dvds and clothes and a batman mug i got this:
Yep. A giant-assed mug. Which at the minute has 2 pints of milkshake in it and is only about 3/4 full. It's awesome. I'm not even holding it closer to the camera in that picture, it's literally that giant. And that awesome. And my mother hates me because it takes up 3 mug spaces in the dishwasher.




So what else happened this week? I went to a fundraiser quiz and we did pretty darn good if I say so myself. Ok, we came joint 11th out of 20ish teams, but each team had at least one member with our combined ages alone. (Which is an exaggeration because combined we were over 100 years old, but you get the idea). And considering we didn't actually know most of the answers we did good. I think my personal favourite of our answers was to the question "What book is the character Billy Fisher in?" (something like that) with the answer "The Lion, The Witch and Billy Fisher".

Skyfall was freaking amazing! Like ugh it was just so good and I don't even know how to describe it. It was just super amazing even with Lauren sitting going "is that voldemort?" at every actor EXCEPT FOR FREAKING RALPH FIENNES. Seriously Lauren, the Chinese bodyguard guy was not Voldemort! Voldemort was NEVER CHINESE! Plus I saw the Christmas Coke advert so guys, it's Christmas! I've already got my advent calendar; it's spiderman (shock there). Plus Ultimate Spiderman (the disney animated series) got renewed and is in production so that's awesome!

I also got very very drunk on saturday night, but we shall go no further with that particular topic except to question why I got what looks like a carpet burn off the pavement at George Street.
And don't slag my photo taking skills, it's my right knee so it's an awkward photo to take without getting crotch. Which I think I did a wee bit, so sorry guys.

So yeah, I think that was my fortnight. I discovered that Saturday nights out are expensive, pavements hurt when you fall on them, I've developed an addiction to Babybels and Kit Kits (damn you Napier canteen) Jake 2.0 is an awesome show, I don't really like Elementary that much, Arrow is amazing and should be loved by all, my dog is nicer when she's fluffy and can keep me warm, multiple pints of milkshake are the best and last but not least I freaking miss everyone! Like seriously, come back from QMU, Ratho, Aberdeen and Chile. You can all come and live with me and never leave! Please.
