The Older I Get....

..... The more I know my own mind. Which means I have a lower tolerance for crap. And let me tell you friends, there has been an all out crap slinging contest going on in the world lately! Whether it's the age old females vs males rubbish, or the poorly educated fools hashing it out in the streets baring all in their Primark leggings and flip flops, it seems that 2014 is the year to make an absolute tit of yourself!

Keep it classy ladies!

It's the Final Count Down!!!!!!!!!

Now tell me you didn't totally sing that title AND hum the guitar riff!! I knew it couldn't just be me that breaks out into song and the drop of a ... word. :P

So it's no real secret that I came to France for my year abroad, full of wonder, joy and high, high hopes... Which all came tumbling down roughly two months into my stay. This was mainly a mixture of the delightful young girls in Lyon, who take great pleasure in telling other girls they are fat. Regina George had nothing on these chicks! A little bit of homesickness (okay a lot of homesickness) and the fateful Halloween night out, where there were fisticuffs at dawn with some french guy over a lack of cigarettes! I'm not going to lie, it knocked me for six. I can hold my own when I know who I'm up against but some random drunk french guy? He could have been carrying anything so it wasn't worth the risk!

YESS!! Let's celebrate!

You Better Work, B*tch!

Good old Britney knows her shiz. If you want something the you gotta work for it!



Personally, I'm not such a fan of the singer but her words do hold a grain of truth. So many people today want to take the easy route, without putting in their 10 000 hours, but that's simply not how the world works.

Reflections of 2013

T'was the night before New Years and all through the house people were drinking... even the mouse!
I am also reflecting over 2013 as a year in general. The last year has been difficult with a relapse of depression which I will talk about in more detail in another post, a complicated flat mate, a break up and even the end of a 10 year friendship.
So given the highs and lows of the year, here is a round up of the best and worst parts of 2013 and all the lessons they taught me! :)
