This is what dogs are for!

Check her out, the cutest, most patient dog in the world (let's call her N). B (her dad) wasn't having any of it, like the clever dog he is he just lowered his head and pushed the sunglasses off his nose. She's a little poser though :)







And then there's the little man! He also looked seriously cute in his little aviators at lunch yesterday. I bought him a teddy bear from the build-a-bear workshop when he was born, and i bought the sunglasses to go with the bear, but at the moment they fit him perfectly! Take a look..



Coolest kid in town or what?!

Friends reruns

Why is friends the only show that you can watch over and over again without ever getting bored? I think i must have seen every series at least 5 times each, and im pretty sure i could watch each series at least 5 more times. Not only that, but Friends is probably the only series that is actually acceptable to watch reruns. They are eternally funny, and i cant imagine ever getting bored of it. And guess where im going? To watch more friends reruns :) ooh and its the episode where Ross and Rachel go on a 'break'!

I really love my phone

I'm sitting watching tv with the family, while blogging, from my phone! My beautiful Nokia 5800. I think i love it as much as i love J. Yes i said it! It really is beautiful.. So today we went out to lunch, and i was hoping to tell at least one more person that i have a girlfriend (you may realise that most of my posts are about how chicken i am to come out back home). I at least wanted to tell Baby Boy. But i didn't get a chance too. My thumb's hurting now, and the enter button won't work and i want to do a meme. Lol..

When I'm bored I..

... Do loads of pointless of quizzes! Usually I'd them on facebook, but today I decided to google some.
First: Which L Word character are you?
I think I did about 3 or 4 of these, just cos I was that bored.
I got 3 Alices and one Dana. Of course, having seen all 6 series of the L Word in about 3 months, I knew how to manipulate the quiz and I wanted to be Alice :). No idea how Dana came about.

Next I took the Which type of lesbian are you?
I did two, and got femme for both, but i was shocked at the fact that there are so many lesbian stereotypes! Apart from the obvious bitch and femme, and hippy, there were lipstick lesbians, tomboy, leather dyke, wiccan lesbian, soccer dyke, goth, country, confused (aka bi), bohemian dyke, magic earring ken dyke (wtf?), vaginal-reference-making dyke, stud, pretty boi dyke, hipster dyke, sprightly elfin femme, granola dyke, little-boy dyke, student dyke and finally the Surprise! dyke. All from two quizzes! Am I just naiive or does this seem a bit much? Even in the straight world there isn't this much stereotyping! I studied stereotyping in a couple of my social psych modules, now i'm beginning to think they leave out one very important aspect of social stereotyping.

Wednesday Weirdness #49

Annoying

2. What is the best prank you ever pulled or had pulled on you?
Erm, someone squashed an egg on my head once...

The joy of having "nothing" to do

I have spent the day doing absolutely fuck all. I've been on the internet about 90% of the time and have sat in front of the tv for exactly 99% of the time (i took the dogs out for about 10 minutes). For the past two hours I've intended to have a bath, but literally cannot be bothered, even though I really can't wait to have one. We only have a shower in halls, so i'm going to have at least one bath a day while i'm at home. I don't actually have anything to do. I haven't finished that essay that i was meant to finish before i came back, but i've put that off till this evening. Plus i should be reading/researching/preparing notes for all my other crappy assignments. But i'm home! And i haven't been here for 3 months, so i'm making the most of it.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm going out to lunch in the sunshine with all my friends. Well, all the important girl friends. We've known each other since school, since we were 13 at least (some even longer). So much has changed since then! One of my best friend's has a baby boy who's 5 months old now. Haven't seen him since christmas obviously and she's sent me some photos and he just looks so chubby and cute and i can't wait to see him tomorrow! Plus most of my friends don't know i have a girlfriend. Well hardly anyone in Malta knows i have a girlfriend. But that's another story and another post about how chicken I am to tell everyone.

When I came back for christmas we hadn't even been together for 2 months so I didn't really think about it too much. I told a couple of people and it felt great, but i didn't worry too much. Now we've been together for almost six months, we've just said the L word and I can't actually stop thinking about her. So it would be good to have the guts to tell everyone about her. The only thing is, I haven't even come to terms with the fact that i may be gay, in my mind i'm bisexual at least, so at least i have my options open. My brother's room is right next to door to my mum's and we were in there yesterday just after i got back. He was calling me a lesbian and it felt really strange! I think i need longer than 5 months to come to terms with it..

Oh Ryanair..

Grrr I do not like Ryanair! I do not like their measly 15kg luggage weight limit. I always forgot and my suitcase was a very reasonable 18kg, which would be fine on any other airline but fussy old Ryanair only allow 15kg. So the woman kept my passport and I had to go over to the ticket desk to pay £45 for 3kg of overwight. £45!! But anyway, in amongst the annoyance I didn't look at the boarding pass the girl gave me and I just trotted up to security. While i was queuing, i decided it was time to look at my boarding pass, if only to have something to do, and noticed there wasn't any indication of my priority boarding (which i chose to pay £4 for). £4 isn't much but it is definitely essential on a Ryanair flight. So I had to march back down to the check-in desk, and the woman dryly said "sorry bout that". Grrrrr.. Plus there all the extra charges.. A flight is advertised as £8, but once you add on fuel charges, airport charges, baggage charges, check in charges and so in, it goes up to £70. And finally there are their cramped, blue and yellow little aeroplanes.

A rather strange french woman was sat next to me today. She was wearing VERY high rise, high shine leggings. She's obviously had them since the 80's and what with all the wet look leggings coming back into fashion she decided to dick them out of her closet. She teamed that with a short brown cardi. I'm not describing this very well, but to me it looked a bit odd lol. She seemed like a lovely woman, but she spent a lot of the flight talking to herself. I felt a little bit sorry for her though (now this is where you can tell that I'm a psychology student) cos on the rare occassion she spoke to me or the woman on her other side, or we spoke to her, she always put herself down. Like she was trying to squeeze her handluggage under the seat in front of her. She was clearly struggling, and i am a seasoned professional, cos i hate using the overhead compartments cos i'm too short and i worry that i'll bonk someone on the head with my massive backpack. Plus i like to have everything in my handluggage readily available. Anyway, i offered to help her and managed, without too much effort, to squeeze the little suitcase under the seat, and said thank you, thank you, to which i replied, "oh its ok, i'm used to it now". Instead of just laughing or replying she said, "no, no, it's me, i'm silly, silly." She didn't do anything at all throughout the whole flight. She didn't wat anything (i ate 2 sandwiches), she didn't drink anything (one litre of water), she didnt read anything (glamour magazine, diva magazine and the daily telegraph), she didn't listen to any music (i never turned mine off). She literally did NOTHING. She just sat there!

Anyway, I realise the only reason that this seems odd to me is because it's not something i'm used to. It's the same with everyone. Fat kids get teased cos other kids don't see it as "normal". Homophobes exist because they don't see being gay as "normal".

Any things you've seen people do, or heard of, that don't seem "normal" to you that would be perfectly normal to anyone else?
