~Breath~

So I'm scrolling through Pinterest and I come across these obnoxiously large wooden boards/pallets with quotes or phrases painted on them. And most of them are pretty cheesy, in my opinion: "Love" "Every little thing is gonna be alright" kind of thing. But then I come across this one

And I just...I don't know if this was a mistake, or if the meant to say breath? Because I would not want "breath" on my wall. And definitely not of that size. And it's not even like there's enough room that you could add the 'e' yourself. I don't even know what to think about this.

Welcome to the World of Procrastination!

Welcome to the World of Procrastination! Here, you will enjoy the motivation to do anything but the the thing you need to be doing. And all without any guilt*! Watch as all the little tasks you've been avoiding for weeks finally get done as you avoid the more important tasks at hand. After you've enjoyed your time here, we suggest you go visit Cramming City, where they will provide you with the mindset to finally get stuff done! And once again, enjoy your visit in the World of Procrastination!
So yeah. I'm not really procrastinating (much) but I thought it would be funny to do a little blurb about it. And it got me thinking, if you procrastinate, but don't like seriously procrastinate, then you might actually be more productive than if you'd just done your work in the first place. I know this doesn't go for everyone, but if you procrastinate by doing other things that you've been avoiding, while not being such a big procrastinator that you leave yourself a decent amount of time to get the important things done, then clearly procrastinating is the way to get things done! This is totally me. But then you start procrastinating by going on Pinterest or tumblr, and let's be honest, once you've hit the Internet, there's no leaving, so you might as well just give up all hope of getting anything done.
I don't have much to do today, but it's all stuff I don't want to do. I have no idea what my TED talk is going to be about. It has to be about something in our "industry". Please, I don't even know what I want to do with my life yet. How will I know anything about my industry?

*this does not apply to everyone

270. Turn off.
- when people try to grow beards but they clearly do not have the ability to do so
- moustaches without beards (whether it be well grown or not)
- rudeness
- acting like he rules the world/he's the coolest

271. Where I want to be right now
At home. (I have been thinking about Christmas a lot over the past week. Like, a lot. A disturbing amount. I get 3 weeks off at Christmas and I'm super excited [47 days till I get to go home for Christmas!] Look, Google knows what I'm asking:

And all this thinking of Christmas and going home is making me miss home. Luckily I get to go home this coming weekend.)

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW (QOTD #58)

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW SHERLOCK FAKED HIS DEATH. AND. IT. IS. KILLING. ME. And the next episode comes out tomorrow and people will know even more and I will stILL BE SITTING HERE DYINGY BECAUSE I KNOW NOTHING. And since there are only three episodes I might as well say that I'm an entire season behind. There is no positive to my current situation. None, I tell you. Because I can't go on tumblr because tumblr should really be read "spoilers" because really what else do you find on there. Since I can't go on tumblr, I decided to go on Pinterest BUT THERE ARE PINERS PINNING TUMBLR POSTS WITH SPOILERS IN THEM OMG i'm done. i give up. theres no point anymore. i might as well go hide in my bedroom until i can go back to residence in which case I will watch the two episodes and then continue to hide in my room because my brain will shut down from all the feels and overwhelming awseomeness that is Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes. (Also, went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug today with my friend Croissant and it was so good and I love Benedict Cumberbatch even more because his voice. That man has no bounds.)

J, this ^ is a good example of being a part of a fandom. It truly is a love/hate relationship with a lot pining and wishing about things that can't be.

moving on, now that I have that off my chest...

Started rereading The Fault in Our Stars today. Seriously, you all need to read it. I was going to reread it in December, but I needed to meet my Goodreads reading goal (which I did reach, 45 books thank you very much) and Goodreads doesn't let a reread count towards your reading goal. I'm so excited for the movie!!!

58. Ever have a deja-vu feeling?
Not one that is particularly sticking out to me. When I try to think back to a deja-vu moment I might of had, I think of dreams. Not any specific dream, but just dreams in general. I don't know if that is because you could dream about a situation you were in or vice versa?

Shopping

As requested, I am going to give you an idea of what I want to but online. (Just so you know, I'm a women's 9-10 shoe size and generally a medium in shirts, sometimes a large). I am using this post as an excuse to not write more of my astronomy essay, so I am also going to provide you with a link to the websites. Most of these I found through Pinterest.

I actually was going to buy these toms, they were really cheap. But when I clicked on checkout it took me to a different page and it looked sketchy (it wasn't the real Toms site). So I googled the company that they were using for payment and a lot of people were saying that they never got the things they ordered. Needless to say, I didn't buy the toms. But I still really like them.

Forever 21 Leather Jacket

This jacket is only $15! Most of the other stuff is kind of  dream, I want it but it is too expensive. This, however, I would buy. If I had a credit card.

Forever 21 Backpack

I have wanted on of these backpacks for a long time.

I was going to look for more shirts to show you but I've gotten bored now and may actually do some real work. I might continue this later.

Photo Shoot!

Sometimes I will think to myself, that would make a good picture. But then the next thought is usually I'm too lazy to go get my camera.  Luckily for you, today was not one of those days! However, once I do actually manage to get my camera out, I figure I might as well take a ton of pictures because it's probably going to be a while before my camera is out again. So I take lots of pictures.  And it's a whole other story to actually getting around to posting them. Or even getting them onto the computer.  But today is your extra lucky day, because I have gotten out my camera, taken (lots of) pictures, put them on the computer, AND I'm going to post them. All within the hour. I almost can't handle it. Hopefully you can.  :) Now, in my recent abundance of free time, I have taken to attempting some of the DIYs I repin on Pinterest.  (That's another surprising thing for today: who actually attemps the things they repin? Mostly when I repin DIYs it's like, wow, this looks cool! I'll repin it. But I have no intention of actually attempting it.)  Anyways, I did this yesterday:

I also started another one of an owl. I do the hammering outside and this little guy was keeping me company:

(After I took that last picture there, he fell off the edge...).  Funny story about this guy: he was hanging around out garden a couple weeks ago and at that point he couldn't fly. (And he can still only fly very short distances).  But his mom was hanging around and looking for food for him. But he would be squawking and squawking demanding food. His mom would feed him and then go get some more. But as soon as he couldn't see his mom, he would stop chirping. As soon as he could see his mom again, the squawking would start again. Talk about knowing when to use your energy and when it's a lost cause.  :) Baby bird with an attitude.  Anyways, when I went outside today to do some hammering, I was happy to see that he was still alive (because often/sometimes baby birds don't make it) and he kept me entertained.  He was hanging out in the veggie garden. Well, I say hanging out. More like running away from me while I used him for a photo shoot. Hence the falling off the ledge.  (No animals were harmed in the making of this blog post). And since I was taking lots of pictures, I decided I would give you a little challenge. Can you guess what plant this is?

Any ideas? Any at all? How about now:

Do you think you have it? I'll give you another photo:

That one's an aerial.  Can you tell now? OK, one more picture:

This is the ideal angle and zoom for trying to figure out what this is. Anybody got it? Well, hopefully you did, because I'm not going to tell you what it is. Hahaha. This is about as mean as I get.
We also have a non-veggie garden. Well, multiple non-veggie gardens, including a window box. And I am loving the flowers my dad/mom chose this year for the flower box:

 (And every picture hereafter was taken on manual focus. This may not seem like a big acomplishment to the more practiced photographers out there, but this is the first time I've ever tried manual focus and I think I did pretty well)

So pretty. I especially love the pink and purple together.
(When I say non-veggie garden, I mean a flower bed (obviously) but I just realized that calling it a non-veggie garden wasn't exactly normal...)
This is our fence, where it has been continually beat and banged by the lawn mower. I thought it made for a cool picture:

And this knot is pretty cool. It's almost a neon colour. At least in person it is. 
More pretty flowers!

At first I didn't think the focusing was going so well with these itty bitty flowers, but now I like the way it just focuses on a little group of them.  It forces you to look closer at the photo and appreciate them more. 

 

This plant is my favourite non-veggie plant (I will now and forever more refer them as non-veggie plants) that we have:

 It almost looks like seaweed! (it's not). (Seaweed, that is).

I was going to play another game with you, but you're brain might still be too exhausted from the first one, so I thought I would give you a break. And also, I wouldn't be able to tell you what this plant is called whether I wanted to or not.  The reason I like it so much is because it's so soft and fuzzy.  :)
This is just me trying out the manual focus:

And my last set of photos for today:

This is my other little friend who is constantly hanging out around our chives. 
Ok.
That's it.
That's all the photos.
Haha, and the award for longest blog post ever goes to...
And this is probably where you thought I would tell you what that plant was.  You were wrong.  :) Turns out I can be even more mean.

This is where I'm going to tell you what that plant is.

JK. Man, I am SO mean.
(I just realized that what if you do know what the plant is and now I'm just making myself look like a fool going on like this?)

Crazy

Ok, I don't know if you recall my Pinterest post where I talk about people repinning what I posted.  Well, guess what?
IT HAS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!r%^&*()(*&^%$#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*()
Major excitement. it was this picture:

And it was a repin, not just a like! (I'm not really sure if one is better than the other, but a repin seems bigger to me). It's only one pin, but know more people are likely to see it, and then more and more and more AND MORE AND MORE. Not that that is what this is all about...
And this is my SOTD:
