Random thoughts #laziness

Good (insert time of day while reading this) to you, obviously my title has been quite misleading  thinking you would now be reading an interesting, perhaps even funny post and you will not be reading such a thing. You are now however committed to reading it and I am trusting you to carry on reading past this point so no clicking off now!

Every now and then I will have the odd silent moment to myself where I have the chance to think about really random things/situations so I am now going to fill this post with as many random things that I can think of that I have thought to myself about.

* What would it be like to be the pope? It's common knowledge with the people that know me, I would love to be the pope.. I literally don't fully know why, all I know is that of all the people/roles in the world I would love to be the pope. I genuinely think it would be great to drive about in the pope mobile for the day!

* it's so weird that when things get sent to the queen for her royal ascent, she never says no because if so many people want it (enough for the paper to be sent to her) then who is she to deny it. My law teacher even says she wouldn't even say no if it was to get rid of the monarchy - I would personally say no if I was the queen but each to their own.

*Speaking of the queen, what does she think about, what does she really love doing, does she enjoy reading, does she knit? I bet she loves a good crossword or a sudoku. Also, has she ever changed any of the royal babies nappies or even anything of the sort.

*Who decided words are words and that they mean the things they mean. Like who decided to call the thing we sit on a chair, its mad!

*What do dogs actually think about? They have such chilled lives - what would my little cass say if she could speak to me? (Probably "get me a treat now")

*You know when someone is talking to you and they say 'is that OK?' what would they then do if you turned around and said 'well actually, no it's not OK' like honestly what would they do?

*What goes through peoples heads when they're so unnecessarily rude to other people? Don't get me wrong my skin is pretty thick, I can 100% take it from people but there's plenty of people that can't. Just an example is the other week I was at work and someone rang up and asked a question I physically couldn't answer, nor could anyone in the office (had they given me the chance to fully explain our process he may not have been so rude) but he ended the call by saying 'that's great that you cant answer my questions, thanks, bye.' there's just no need in it at all

*where do people that come up with horror stories get their imagination from, what actually possess' people to write such grim films.

It's been ages since I actually wrote something and for that I'm sorry, I just can never think of anything I want to write at all. It's so annoying, if you have any ideas or can think of anything that would be good, please let me know in the comments!

Strange things that are completely normal!

So a few days ago, I was thinking about some stuff and I realised there's so much that we do or that happens that's so normal but when you think about it, its actually so strange, so of course I decided to make a list of everything I thinks absolutely weird.

1. Words/Nouns - I think its so strange that people came up with names for things and words and just decided that that's what things were, how did we decide that, just as an example, elephants would be called elephants or that the word there would point out the direction/ or position of something. Plus, who decided that letters would look the way they do? Did  someone just say it and it stuck.. was there meetings on it? I don't know but i'd actually love to :')
2. Accents - On the subject of words, how is it that the place you grew up in determines the sound of your voice, I get now that it just a matter of children pick it up from the environment, but to start with, where did the accents come from, how is it that people from one end of England sound so different to people from the other en of England, its the exact same country! It actually does baffle me!
3. Milk - There are so many weird things about milk that I don't get. Why do we drink something that is produced to feed the young of other animals, who decided we should drink it or that it was safe for us to drink it and what were they doing when they made such a profound discovery?
4. Our body - When you think about it, like seriously think about it, our bodies are bloody mental, amazing but mental. First off, while we sit here, our bodies are pumping blood around, making antibodies, repairing cuts, even enabling me to write this and you to read this post - crazy right? Not just that but we also have one long uninterrupted tube going all the way through our body that takes our food, digests it, compresses it and then gets rid of it, now that is mad!
5. Superstition - I am a really superstitious person, I won't step on three drains with out saying 'black magic', I wont walk under a ladder, I won't cross on the stairs without my fingers crossed and it's the same for walking under sign posts and scaffolding. To some it might be weird but I do it without even a second thought, it's almost like breathing to me.
6.  The Earth - No matter where you are in the world, we will see the exact same sun, moon and stars as everyone else, we have a huge, huge planet but we still see the exact same things, that's crazy if you ask me. Not only that but the earth is so magic, it has it's own little system just to keep everything here alive, us, animals, plants... it's just like a giant ball of life giving gas and rock!

This post took a lot of thinking, but when you do think about it, there is so much stuff that if you just give it a tiny thought, you'll find weird too. If there are any points you agree with or even things you find really weird.. just leave it in the comments below, I'd love to hear some more weird things. Thanks for reading,

Short girl problems - from my point of view!

As a member of the vertically challenged community I am prone to many a problem. Some people might get offended when they get asked their age when they buy a 12 rated film but not me, I have developed a great sense of humour about the whole thing so what better to do than compile a list of all the problems that I come across on a regular basis because of my height!

1. If I want something from the top shelf in the cupboard or a pan down from the shelf on the wall, you can bet that I'm climbing on something to get them. Trust me my calf muscles are great because of it!
2. I am automatically an arm rest for anyone that decides to utilise that. When I was an altar girl at church I even became a bible rest for the vicar - love ya father haz!
3. I constantly walk into the door handle with the top of my arm and it literally feels like I've been shot every time!
4. When it rains (good old british weather), I always have to move my umbrella to a side when I walk past others, just so that I don't take someones eye out with it. 
5. I'm forever being asked to prove my age, not just when I'm buying alcohol either, I've been asked for my ID for buying energy drinks, 12 rated DVDs, 15 rated films at the cinema, you name it, if it has an age restriction I've been asked for it!
6. When I get a photo with one of my friends, they have to bend down so we can both be in it, or the person taking it needs to be really far away! 
7. Unless I am in the 4 foot part of the pool, I'll be getting the best exercise ever because I'm doing my best to keep afloat
8. Unless they're 3/4 length, my jeans/leggings and such will be rolled up, there is no chance that I'll wear them at there normal length because I think it makes me look even shorter than I am. 
9. On the topic of clothes, a lot of clothes for someone my body shape aren't always tailored to my body length (unless in the petite section of course) and this means that I end up with cloves that look way too long on me!
10. Mirrors for people of average height are always a problem for me too, I have to tiptoe just to see more than my forehead, it's like am I a vampire cause I have no reflection? Nah Im just 4'11. 
11. On the same kind of wavelength, the counters at the pizza shop are ridiculous too, I can only just about see to order my kids pizza special!
12. I always get the most shocked look in the world when I tell adults my age, followed by them asking my mum 'is she really? I thought she was 14!' legit every time!
13. More than once, I've been asked whether I was stood up or not, mostly in the science lab though!
14. I can very rarely crop a photo of me and someone else well because the height difference is too much, it is ridiculous:')
15. Saving the worst problem for last, I haaaate taller people in crowds, or anywhere in front of me when I want to see! It just as bad at the cinema too, I swear im one more giraffe away from pouring drinks on the seats in front of me so no one can sit there!!!

I know I sound really whingy but there are just as many perks to being short as there are cons! For one you use a lot less fake tan when you need to tan your full body, you can sneak up on people miles easier, leg room is rarely an issue,on any vehicle, you can buy shoes from the junior section, I actually love being short, no lie!

IM BAAACK!!!

*Plays eminem in the background on repeat whilst writing*

Ok, so first things first, I'm so sorry I havent blogged in ages but don't worry, I assure you that I have been the busiest of bees recently and all will become clear!

Since the last time I wrote anything I would 100% LOVE to say that I've done all this amazing stuff but really it's been pretty slow. I guess I should start with I got a job (not too slow) I am now an apprentice at a commercial property consultants company and I love it! The people I work with are great and the job its self isn't awful.

As my job is an apprenticeship, I do still have coursework to do which means I'll still be busy after work. This shouldn't affect my blog though, I just thought I'd mention it in case it ever does.
       On the subject of posts, I actually did go through a stage where I really wanted to plan all of my posts and, not kidding, I got all the way to the end of this month so there are a loooot of posts to look forward to which I will get on with ASAP!

I think that's it for now,  I'll probably start writing tomorrow maybe and I'll upload them as I finish them so yeah,

Memory Lane Monday!

In the last few weeks of year 11 like most people in the same year around the UK - I had a leavers book for everyone to sign (like a year book but better). I didn't fill the book so I decided I'd write a letter to myself in the future. It's been about 3/4 years since writing it and I decided I'd type it up and see what's changed since then (it's a lot). I think it's quite cringey but it's a nice thing to do because looking back at it, it helps me remember everything both before and around that time.

Dear Hayley, 

Right now you're 15, 16 soon!! It's the 2nd of june and yesterday you left school and cried for an hour literally 'probably more though'. You've just read through your leavers book and cried again. Today your listening to the radio which makes a change because you're always watching some crap on TV 'no change there then'. You go to NCS soon and your really excited because it's with your bestfriend nicole 'after a huge argument (entirely my fault) and a year of not talking we're not bestfriends anymore but we're still friends. NCS was extremely good though'. Well you did it, you survived secondary school, one thats filled with idiots and bullies.. obviously ignorance is bliss 'told you it was cringy'. 

When you're older you want: 

♥An old pink mini 'Changed to a new mint green soft top mini'

♥two children, a girl called Liberty-Skye and a boy called Niall 'Still true - I wonder where I got the boys name from'  

♥a job in the police force 'cause you're offit'. 'Now I just want a job in admin'

Right now, your hair is ginger, you've been:

♥Brown

♥Browny-red

♥red

♥purple

♥Black 'I can now add blonde to that'

and you've dip dyed it twice three times now! You're really scared for college and your probably reading this thinking 'wtf.. it was a doddle!' 'not quite hayley, not quite' I don't doubt it was but you're pooing yourself for it now anyway! Last night was good at the leavers campout, it was hilarious Jane* shouting at everyone for being half seshes and then she went at like 10. You, col, liam, char and jamie stayed til midnight cause you's are offit. Ash and Neil* stayed all night bless them. The fire was nice too, you don't like Neil because he called you fat.. your not arsed anymore but you still don't like him. Oh god, the leavers assembly was cute as, there were a tonne of old photos that you didn't even remember being taken. The photo of Mr Miller made you and Holl cry the most cause it was just him. Shocking that he still isn't back isn't it, well he might be when your reading this. 'Sadly Mr miller isnt back and will not be back ever - he was sacked and more and more teachers have left' All I know is the best teacher you've ever had, all his little stories and everything!

Everyones written in here about your happiness and your always doing your best to smile when youd rather not . You'd be weird without your smile by the sounds of it! OMG your braces, I assume you'll have them off by now? Are they nice, are you looking after your teeth properly now? You can't wait to see! 'they are off but not in the conventional way (I took them off myself because im terrified of the orthadontist)'

You can be such a freak, do you know that? If you read some of the messages in here like the people you're close to, their hilarious! You were a stalker, an alcho, a fattie and a genuine weirdo! I hope you havent changed, here's all your favourite things: 

Colours - 

♥Reddy-Pink

♥Purple

♥Bluey Green 'All still true'

Films -

♥Starstruck

♥Diary of a Wimpy Kid

♥any Harry Potter

♥Cat in the Hat

♥John Tucker Must Die

♥4321

♥Mean Girls

♥Step Brothers

♥Catch me if you can 'I haven't watched half of these in ages, starstruck is still my fave though'

food - 

♥Ready Salted Crisps

♥McDonalds

♥tomatoes

♥Spag Bol

♥Pizza

♥Freddos

♥Poptarts 'All still true'

books - 

♥Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging 1-7

♥ All Harry Potters

♥True Story books

♥the twilight saga 'I now love tfios and if I stay too and tonnes more but im not sure'

Aw Hayley, I hope you've done well in school/college and go far 'I'd say I did well, I passed everything and got into uni.. I just didn't go'! In case you forget how offit you were, here is a picture to show you! At Teeside Uni, people were asked to do an experiment so you (thinking others from your school would) shot your hand up, turns out it was just you and creeps from teeside high, well done midge! Good luck and stay offit!

The photo mentioned

Wow what a long bloody letter that was! in case you're wondering, the names jane and neil are names that have been changed because I don't think I should keep their real names in but every one elses are real! also if you cant tell, the bits in the letter that arent in italics are me now so I've annotated it sort of. Like I said, its a really nice thing to do if like me you really like to hold onto memories, if your in your last year of school I definitely suggest you write a little letter to yourself for a few years time it's like a non-buried time capsule.   

Im thinking of doing more 'memory lane monday' posts so if you have any ideas they would be more than welcome. I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy writing them, I mean I don't mind if you don't, I'm mainly writing them for me anyway but, it'd be v nice if more than just myself enjoyed reading them.

My ideal (Unrealistic fantasy) valentines day!

As you may know valentines day is right around the corner and because I'm single I wont be doing anything for it (completely not bothered though..). Just because I'm not doing anything, it doesn't stop me having ideas for what I'd like to do on valentines day and oh boy do I have a big imagination. 

Okay so first off I'd like to wake up to breakfast in bed inc. eggs, bacon, pancakes.. the works! You might be thinking what's so unrealistic about that.. well I should add I'd like this to be in Paris (or Venice.. I'm not fussy) with an amazing view from my window.  After we've ate we'll go for a walk along a river and have a picnic and it will be lovely. We'll go to dinner in a nice restaurant where I'll be told that the next day we'll be going to disney land paris or for a gondola ride (is ride the right word). I can't think of anything else that is both unrealistic and that I would want but yeah there you go. 

Now jokes aside I would literally be happy with a nice day at home.. I'd still want breakfast in bed but we'd both make it and then jump back into bed and eat it watching something on tv. Other than that there's nothing I wouldn't be happy with on valentines day (other than being left on my own or being actually left). We could do some baking together or go to the cinemas. Without sounding like 'that girl' who pretends downplay everything by saying they'd be happier with like a McDonald's or whatever.. I would genuinely love to go to a cafe  like a 'greasy spoon' (not as disgusting as it sounds) their my favourite type of cafe and type of place to eat. 

So yeah, that is both my unrealistic and realistic valentines day. Just to reiterate the first one is entirely unrealistic, I wouldn't expect any of that on valentines day. On previous valentines, I've gone for a meal with friends or spent the night watching films again with friends. You don't have to have a boyfriend on valentines day you can share the love with anyone!
