Dream...

So me and my boyfriend were shopping for a sound system (coz irl my stepdad keeps banging on about getting one, which he did and the godfather sounded pretty awesome), and we were in this really really shit shop. There was like 1 member of staff and a couple of other people, and the carpet was green and it felt really empty and temporary. So anyway me and Matt were trying to test out this one specific set of speakers, but it wouldn't play any music for us to test, so we followed the lead and it went into a closed room. We entered, and there was a bed and a desk with a computer. Matt did computery stuff and I sat on the bed, coz he's good at computery stuff, and we were trying to make this sound system work.

Well that didn't happen, so we decided to get in the bed, and yeah nothing exciting happened, sadly, because we got interrupted by like these people who are really recognisable (I think ones an actress and the other is a regular at work), and they were like oh awks because we were in bed and, they interrupted to say I was needed at work, which I was suddenly magically transported to. And I was making boxes for a bit, and then I was called over to do something else, which turned out Domino's had turned into a really expensive jewellery shop and we were all wearing black clothes. And me and Katie were manning like a beauty product launch, and I was looking at the nailvarnish, saying a purple sparkly one would be a perfect xmas gift  for my friend, and Katie was saying oh no they're no good, the purple one looks like this (she showed me her hands, it looked dull maroon and not purple) and then she said the alternative 'pearl blue' colour turned out like water.

But Belinda was in charge and we had to keep going up all these different floors in a scary lift and the toilets were right at the bottom and I kept having to escort customers it was REALLY scary.

Yeah so that's that.

Creepy dreammmm

Okay, so my family have been decorating this weekend. We also have rats in our garden. So the dream starts with these themes

I walked out of my bedroom to find mum cleaning the toilet (which is separate to our bathroom). She started complaining because there were rats in there, and they obviously weren't killing them well enough, as they would obviously be in the way and 'eew gross', I was set with the task of killing them all. They were all baby ones, and for some reason, I had to pick them out of the toilet bowl. Where they weren't drowning.

I had to pick them up, and squeeze them. It was distressing because they were really cute.




I mean lookkkkk :(.

Anyway, so the bowl kept getting bigger and bigger and I ended up having to get in it to get all the rats out. Like the whole of me was in it. I picked up a rat and looked at it, It was soooooo cute, and then I dropped it and it was by my foot. Then I watched it open its mouth and stab me with really long white teeth in the heel of my left foot.

I like ran away after that and was limping about, and went into the living room, about to complain, when I suddenly morphed into Tommy Pickles. The rugrat, and his mum (Didi?) was all "come here Tommy" and it was so odd, I was watching kinda third person. Then they put me/Tommy on the sofa, and were talking to him/me. Then baby Tommy fainted, and then they were all like OH GOD NOOO.

And so off to hospital we went, then the mum imagined like the future for Tommy, or me, because she had to  make a decision - Tommy would be disabled in one way or another, but she could decide which. Then, it wasn't cartoon and I was the adult Tommy, rolling around in a coffee/smoothie shop that reoccurs in my dreams often, and yeah, like I was rolling on the floor, and there was something to do with a gun, and then Didi, after having the premonition, decided what she was going to do, but I never found out, because I woke up :P.

Sweet taste testtttt! - Viginias Doble

Okay guys so I did a taste test on some jelly beans once, and possibly on some wierd french sweets, but mi padres recently came back from Barcelona, and brought with them Virginias Doble

Okay so the packet reads (translated) :

VIRGINIAS
Double
7 flavours
intense, flavourful, juicy
FLAVOUR EXPLOSION IN YOUR MOUTH!

Aaaand then all the boring stuff.

As I said, the packet says 7 flavours, but I opened mine, got them all out, and could only find 6. Alas.

We have:

ciruela or plum
fresa or strawberry
limon verde or lime
mandarina or mandarin
naranja or orange
platano or banana.

That's in alphabetical order, but I've come up with my own awesome order to do the taste testing in (mainly because I hate banana so it can't go last, the best goes last lol)

I even brushed my teeth for this, okay?

So to get the ickyness out of the way, it's platano first.

Here in all it's yellowy glory. Odio los platanos :(

Right, it smells of like nothing, so we'll see. Okay in my mouth now. It tastes like a real banana, mixed with sugar. I dont really like banana. It's reminding me alot of when I was a kid with tonsilitis, and we had this flavour antibiotics. So its not that bad, I think I only had about 4 of them in the packet. They're quite nice though actually. I wish real bananas tasted like this.

Okay now mandarina, playing it safe but not going straight to orange.

my mouth still tastes a bit like banana hahah I'll get some water. I take these things seriously.

Right, back with some water, and now for mandarina.

Smells like nothing. OMG okay this is a wierd taste. It kind of tastes exactly like a mandarin, pith and all, but with that wierd artificial kinda flouridey taste you get on some sweets. Okay it's like the best kind of mandarin ever it's sour exactly how I like them. I'm not sure how many of these I have. Okay, so after the wierd start, I'm saying it's better than banana. Far more sour than I expected lol. It's like stinging haha.

These sweets are making my water taste bitter :(

Okay, cool. Now for fresa nommityyy.

Okay there's a vague strawberry smell, and the flavour will probably kill me now as I'm learning. Here goes. Okay, omg, wow, that actually pretty much tastes like a mixture of calpol and parma violets. Like literally. What am I eating!? It is nice though. Just so so soooo wierd. I quite like it actually the taste reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. Okay it's so flavourful I feel like my mouth is going to shrivel up.

Right, okay, after a significant lengthy break to drink some water, we're moving on. I'm finding this quite challenging, but alas, naranja.

Smells of nothing. Bad sign. Actually I think if it smelt strong the taste would kill me, so probably a good sign. Right, in it goes... ORANGE! and also... wax? Weird but oh well. A welcome friend after the killer strawberry. No, no, I like this one. It tastes like, um, those calypso lollies where you have to push the icelolly up a cardboard tube that basically breaks and you accidentally eat cardboard and everything gets all sticky and orange. They didn't lie though, this is a flavour explosion in your mouth.

I dont want to do this anymore. Just two more to go.

Limon Verde, or lime, though I thought lima was lime but who cares now.

I'm going to eat it. Okay so the actual sweets are WHITE. whaaaa. Oh okay, it tastes like lemon, but limey. More limey though. Like those old bugs bunny and sylvester sweets you could get. I quite like that one, I have about 900 though to get through. They are pretty refreshing though.

I hope you guys realise they're boiled sweets and each one takes me like 5 minutes to eat and get over, and I'm like dying and my mouth is burning. I should have done this after dinner... rofl :(

I think this lime one is legit giving me ear ache...

Okay awesome just one more, which is... ciruela. I thought that looks interesting, I'll save it to the end to see if it is like god in boiled sweet form or something. And it's purple, and purple rules.

I'm not sure if there's a smell or my mind is cracking. Okay it's in my mouth. Same waxy taste as the orange. A bit soapy. Interesting. I havent eaten a plum in years actually. Okay so it doesn't taste evil, still sour as hell though. eeekkk.

So, overall, I'd say that orange and lime are your safest bet. They really are a flavour explosion en tu boca though :/

Thanks for reaadinggg

Condiment Confessions

I go great with burgers, and hot dogs, but im just not as popular as old ketchup,
 with his reddish hue and cheeky nature, i'm just there for decoration. 
Sat on the table next to honey and mustard, watching salad cream getting mixed with custard, 
stupid Marie's pregnant again, why can't she crave me on her mexican? 
I'm just generic, I ain't Heinz, and forget HP we all went down that line, 
but I just can't face the constant failure, when they come near me but reach for the yella. Mustard is even better than me, and I had a single on MTV. 
Not even my funky quirky label, makes me stand out on this table. 
I guess it's time to fix myself, I'm fruity sauce, and I need some help

Here is an amazing set of gifs... if this works.

Oh, my most sincere 'yay's

Guys, it's the end of an era, an end of the tedium that is psychology. I took my exam today, it went WELL. I also drank a blueberry energy drink that tasted like GRAPE, so I feel lied to, but even still, I love grape so we're all okay.

So I told mum dearest AmesJay AileyBay was holding a revision session, at 7am, so she said she'd wake me up so I could get there early. I went to bed at gone midnight and thus when she woke me up I sort of refused and went back asleep. Then dreamt that I accidentally missed my exam and starting like making wierd screamy./strangly noises whilst everywhere was surrounded by 'silence exam in progress signs' then I woke up. I fear I may have been making previously mentioned screamy/strangly noises aloud as my mum asked me if I was okay.

I then decided sleep was for the weak and dragged myself out of bed. I got to college at 7:40 (ouch), an hour later I bought my energy drink, and discussed with the cashier that I had an exam and yeah, then I drank it. I wasn't nervous I was just idly reading my notes and discussing things with everyone. Then at 9 Louise was meant to come and meet me and it got to like 9:01 and she was late and I started panicking. Yeah, it hit me very quickly that I'm a terrible student who leaves all revision to the day before the exam.

So I went in, and I have to say, the further I got the more I thought they'd left all the nasty ones to the end but alas, they had forgotten their duty as an exam board and left it clear of questions that make students cry!

I got out and I was buzzing and I found estranged friends and sat with them. Then Lentils walked past, and he wrote a book, interesting book it is, so I purchased said book (if you check out his blog he's been shamelessly self promoting by putting sections up each day).

Okay, and that's about the hi-light of it. I played Angry Birds, Abduction and Temple Run for an hour and a half and then spoke in Spanish for another hour and a half.

I also found out that walking with one shoe not done up properly slows me down significantly and therefore I have to work harder to walk home at a sensible pace.

I haven't done a photo + caption post in such a long time (something I want to get into again) so I'm giving you a double whammy of what-happened-today-blog and a photo one.

So, I have a new phone... It's a cool new phone, with a chuffingly good camera!!

I took some snaps since I've got it and here are some of the better ones:

This is my dog on the green that is behind where I live. I was basically just testing the camera but there you are, a hundred thousand blades of grass on the internet forever. And a dog.

That there is what the grass colour is really like. I highly recommend it if you're a fan of losing tennis balls and having your dog insufferably drop them in the most suitable shades of green with the longest grass and the most thorns.

This is Nelson. The CAPITAN* of the cat world. I'm going to call him Capitan catipan now. That will wind everyone up. The windowsill is his holiday home by the way, he's normally in a different location which will be later shown. (These photos aren't all my pets btw)

*capitan, not captain, it's Spanish for captain

Here is Mungo, shiny and so is the couch, but in a different way...

Can you just not feel the different way

Okay, seriously, sorry.

N'aww Mungo you're so squashed, and chillaxing, which is a slight oxymoron but hey, whatever floats your boat. 

This is Capitan Catipan at his normal residence, usually with less demonic eyes. He utilizes the cushion as the floor and I am sometimes quite convinced that if it wasn't there he'd just hover.

If I had a favourite Nelson position, It would be this one. Where he makes himself into a ball and curls up, just so catlike of him.

This is a photo I took of me and Lewis in Peking gourmet which sells pretty nomable food tbh. We look like utter rejects from anything ever...

This is a microwave meal I ate after complaining all day that I wanted Tagliatelli and Mushrooms I come home to find mum bought me a weight watchers one without my saying so. PSYCHIC...

That's a streetlight on the way to college that's finally run it's course and collapsed down (in a pretty good place as it's near the cemetry/church)

These people are Rowan and Ross and they were posing for my photo, which I was sneakily uploading to foursquare saying I was 'hanging out with wierdos' I am THE best friend ever.

That's mine and Lewis's epic drinks from Costa, I got a tall Toffee cooler and he got a Vanilla one, and I then proceeded to spill it everywhere because the cup was too flimsy. Interesting day, went to do some father's day shopping that day and just had a strange amount of laughing.

This is a nail at 9pm outside Domino's in Hedge End where I had the unfortunate situation of deciding to lean against it after my shift. It hurt, really, rather... My spine still tingles.

That's the curry I had at about 9:40 on Saturday because I'm exceptionally healthy and Mum managed to get me a lamb rogan, she is actually amazing. (It's what I always order)

So yeah...

That was some pictures - I feel I may attempt to do one 'random picture' blog a week, although I fear it may end up being mainly food and pets. That's my interesting life for you XD

Loves and stuffs
