Girls who need to take a reality check

Ok, so from going on facebook I have now decided I have an issue I feel really strongly about, and therefore want to talk about on my blog.

So there are a lot of girls out there who act like this and it's really bugging me right now. Here is just a list of things that bug me about girls basically.... it's literally a list of girls that NEED to take a Reality Check. So if this sounds like something you might come under, then you might want to stop, think and readdress your life.

1. Girls who are like 12 years old wearing a full face of make up. Like, just no! Who even does this? Like when did this craze start happening? Cos I deffo DID NOT ever walk around with a full face of make up at that age. In fact I didn't even know what most make up was if I'm honest, at that age. And to be quite frank with you, I didn't even start wearing a full face of make up until I was 19. And even now, I don't wear a lot of make up. Just stop wanting to grow up so fast and take a chill pill! If you go around looking like a 20 year old woman and you're only 12 years old, then don't go acting all shocked if a pervy old man starts hitting on you. Basically, you're asking for it. If you don't want that sort of attention, just don't do it?

2. Girls who wear extensions that look like a piece of straw just grew out their head. Ummm why do you think that looks good may I ask?? Don't get me wrong, hair extensions can look absolutely amazing (on some people)... but when it's done right. Firstly- pick the right colour for your hair!! There is nothing worse than looking like a two-toned idiot. Secondly- pick extensions that actually look like human hair, not like someone just sat there sewing loads of barbie doll fake hairs to a massive wig. Thirdly- make sure it's not all knotted and shit. Nothing worse than going out with fake hair that's the wrong shade, half falling out...

3. Girls in clubs that wear like no clothing. a) how the bloody hell are you not absolutely frozen??! (Usually these are the nutters who go out without a coat too.. madness!) and b) what makes you think boys like that shit? Honestly, I can tell you now that they don't. I've heard it straight from the horses mouth (so to speak) and I've been told by very reliable first hand sources that girls who dress and act like 'icy farts' will be treated as an 'icy fart' (work out the rhyming slang I just oh so amazingly created and you'll understand...I'm actually quite proud I made this up)

4.  Girls who make themselves look like oompa loompas. I have never ever understood, nor will I ever understand, why you or the people around you do not realise you look like Willy Wonka asked for another helper in his chocolate factory. If you look like you've been tangoed and you obviously can tell in photos (and a mirror...that I assume you'd use to apply said make up??!) then why on earth do you continue to buy the wrong shade of foundation for your skin STILL???! I mean, it's never like even REMOTELY close to the colour of your skin? It truly baffles me! I am utterly bamboozled! Sort your life out please. Or next time I see one of your kind I will oh so kindly start singing the oompa loompa theme song in your face til you get the hint and go buy some new shade of foundation that is a better match to your skin tone.

5. Girls who pull this face: THE POUT. The dreaded pout. The face that I see pulled by almost every single girl in photos from nightclubs. Like, why is this something that happens?? I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE posing for the camera! BUT I do it in a way to take the p*** out of myself, I'm not serious when I pull my silly poses for photos... but (DIFFERENCE!) you lot are actually being so serious....it's slightly worrying. I get that people are copying posh spice and other 'celebs' but I'm pretty sure last time I checked, most people own teeth.. and everyone looks so much nicer when they smile, so why not just show some teeth man and do the cowell instead. Make Simon proud of those pearly whites!

6. Girls who drink too much. When you go out dressed so nicely for a night out with the girls, why on earth ruin that for yourself and drink yourself silly? When I see girls crawling (sometimes literally...) along the street at stupid AM in the morning drunk as a skunk and high off their faces, completely oblivious to the outside world and its dangers, I find this more than slightly worrying. Espesh when the majority of the time they are alone, probably unsure of what their name is let alone know where they are and how to get home safely! Another reason for being utterly confused why drinking so much is deemed 'cool': the vom. Why would you purposely drink so much that you puke it all up again (along with that curry you had earlier for dinner)... It's something I really DO NOT want to see on the side of the road the morning after whilst I'm waiting to cross a road.

7. Girls who idolise the idiot from TOWIE. Oh boy, I don't even know where to begin with this one if I'm honest.. I for one really can't put into words how much I dislike this stupid programme (soz if you like it but to me it's a pile of poo). I don't understand the big hype tbf. Espesh over this joey guy? Like who even is he? What has he even done to make himself so appealable to you? (deffo just made up a new word right there..) He's certainly not famous (though I'm sure he'd like to think he is) so why the big screams over him? Madness! And the girls that you idolise from this programme...why would you style yourself on them? False eyelashes, false hair, false skin colour (with the help of spray tans/fake bake/sun beds/whatever)... can you not tell they are FALSE??! Be yourself! Be an individual. Be unique and celebrate that you're amazing. And for the love of God...do not join the oompa loompa crew!

8. Girls who throw up in the loo in clubs. 'Nuff said. (Though I guess at least you didn't vom all over people on the dancefloor...)

9. Girls who cry down the phone to their friends at the end of a night out. Think about what you look like to other people... Seriously, if you're that upset and alone, maybe you should reassess who you go out with? Cos I'm assuming that person on the phone wasn't with you in the club...and if they were and they left you in that state then, again, reassess who your real friends are. Who leaves their mate in that state crying on the side of a road looking like they got dragged through a hedge backwards?!

10. And lastly, girls who scream.at.everything. I understand screaming. But scream when there's a need to scream (i.e. at a scary movie.. or when someone freaks you out and makes you jump) but not for the sake of it. I see way too many teenage girls screaming and squealing at each other on the bus or in the street, for no apparent reason... just cos they can. It's highly irritating, please refrain from doing this and think of the poor ears of your elders. Thank you.

So this rant is now over about girls...for now anyway! Soz if I offended you in any way (no offence meant) but obv if you were offended then it means you probs fall under one of these 10 categories, so you may wanna have a think...

Living in HoR

Kinda realised tonight that I haven't posted anything in a while (oOps. My sincere apologies) and I didn't really have anything amazeballs to say or discuss with you....so again, sincere apologies and all that, if this post is well weird like. But you'll have to deal with it I'm afraid, as I'm bogged down with a load of assignments at the moment! So tonight I'm going to discuss the topic of living in halls of residence...

So if you're one of those oh so lucky people who has had the joys of living in a Halls at University, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about here.

Right, let me set the scene first. So, last year I had the wonders of living with ALL GIRLS. And let me tell you now it was utter hell on earth. I got on with 2/6 of them, which considering I had to live with them for nearly a year, meant I was constantly missing home/staying at friends houses/just generally hiding in my pit.

But anyway, rant over...for now.
This year, I seemed to have an amazing flat... until 'he-who-must-not-be-named' moved in. So, I'm assuming (hoping/wishing/praying) that this only goes for this one person, and not every foreigner. But basically, he has the weirdest and most gross, annoying habits known to mankind. And, just to get this all off my chest, I'd like to share them with you. (For those of you who adore Jenna Marbles as much as I do, then you'll realise this is kinda like her video about her crazy flatmate: inspired!)

1. When 'he-who-must-not-be-named' is in the kitchen: He will use everyone else's crap to cook with/eat with etc so everything is gross and covered in weird cooking stuff on the side. He will cook food (with meat) (I'm a veggie) and leave it on the hob uncovered... for about a week sometimes. He will start to half cook/prepare a meal, and then leave it there for the whole day.
2. When  'he-who-must-not-be-named' is using the fridge: He will leave weird shit all over the place, uses other people's crockery to hold his weird concoctions, use other people's food/drink, drink milk from the carton (for me, this is the worst habit ever).
3. When  'he-who-must-not-be-named' is in the bathroom: Let's just say it's not pleasant to go in there after he has been in there...
4. When  'he-who-must-not-be-named' is in the bedroom: I can hear him talking in his language REALLY LOUDLY and it sounds like he's constantly arguing with someone. He smokes (or did, not sure if this still happens.. but it stunk my room out). He leaves his keys in the door at night (bit confused why you would do this? If someone breaks in a) they could take your keys b) they could take an imprint of your keys and then come back when everyone's out and steal your stuff c) anyone could get in your room). He plays darts against my wall so I hear banging noises in my room. He listens to weird music and films SO LOUD, it could probably power the electricity in our whole flat.

So basically, I just think there has to be someone in charge of accomodation who just loves to bung me in a flat with at least one person I won't get on with. I feel it might be like Big Brother where they're filming my reactions and laughing. Slightly worried about who I'm going to end up with next year...

Wish me luck- fingers crossed

Why I want to be a seahorse.

So basically I've decided being a girl SUCKS. So, I've decided I'd quite like to be a seahorse.
(Hear me out here)

1. Seahorses are just awesome in general.
2. They don't have a care in the world. They can do whatever the hell they want, whenever they want.
3. They have the freedom of an ENTIRE OCEAN.
4. The men have to give birth. (Ok, so this is kind of my main reason why I want to be a seahorse..)

I mean, you name me one female who would not like to be a seahorse. Especially after my awesome reasonings. It just makes so much more sense.

Being a girl is awful (most of the time) because:

a) You have to constantly look nice otherwise you get people giving catty remarks behind your back OR if they're even more of a bitch they do it to your face
b) We have to carry a foreign body inside us for nine months and then pop it out (as if you haven't been in enough pain for the last nine months) ** I wanna just point out at this point that I do not know this from personal experience, because I'm not a teen mum
c) Periods: Hell on earth.
d) Boys treat girls like dirt the majority of the time. If you find a good guy, for god's sake don't let him go! He is a rarity of mankind.
e) You have to watch everything you eat because girls (and guys) will start slagging you off if you start to even gain the tiniest millimetre of fat on your body.
f) You want to constantly consume a mass of chocolatey products/fatty foods at a certain time around every month. And then you get upset cos you gained weight or you ruined your healthy diet. It sucks.
g) You seem to always have to be in control of yourself and what you say. If you let something slip, you'll never live it down.
h) YOU NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR! (Even when your wardrobe is bursting to the brim and you just went shopping last weekend and bought like three new outfits)
i) You get judged if you wear the same outfit out more than once.
j) You get judged if you're photographed wearing the same outfit out more than once.

Well, that was my opinion anyway..
So yeah. That's why I would like to be a seahorse.

Things I suck at.

Ok so like this was kinda inspired by a Jenna Marbles vlog I just watched (love JM she's incred.- watch her shizzle if you haven't already. Highly reccommended from moi).
Sooooooooo anyways, enough o' me old jibber-jabbering... Here is a (probably unfinished) list of things I SUCK at.
(ps. you can feel free to laugh/pity me)

1. Keeping focused (Espesh when I'm meant to be doing Uni work... yawn-o-rama.)
2. Playing badminton (I cannot hit that stupid shuttlecock for the life of me! Sad times for me...)
3. Being flexible (I was always the least flexible in my ballet school. Pretty shameful tbh)
4. Eating properly (I know, I know...this sounds incredibly weird! But I genuinely cannot eat properly with a knife and fork... I eat left handed. But luckily I am not alone as my dad andmy brother also do this. Mum does too but that doesn't count really cos she IS left handed..)
5. Staying awake (This rarely applies when I go out clubbing...though even then I'm sometimes shattered. It's kinda annoying I guess cos I'm always sleepy even when I've had like 10000 hours sleep! Ok so that's a bit extreme, but you catch my drift n'est pas?)
6. Going to the gym (Yeah this like NEVER happens... Naughty Natalie/Terrible Tilly/Shameful Sharman)
7. Press ups/sit ups/splits: I have no pain threshold. I suck.
8. Remembering things (this is a new one, cos my memory used to be amazing..lord knows what happened to me. One day I just woke up and I was stupid. Who knows- maybe the roof caved in in my sleep and squished my brain and made me dumb? I think that deffo sounds plausable fosho)
9. MATHS. (This deffo shoulda been the number one on my list. I cannot retain numbers in my head/work things out mathematically...I have a creative brain, not a logical brain. Anyway, who needs a logical brain? Logical brains are for boring peeps! And who wants to be boring?)
10. Sleeping without my Giraffey (no laughing at this one. He's my main man. 'nuff said.)

I'm sure I suck at plenty of other things too, but as of current, I can't seem to think of anything else....

Things I don't understand

So basically thought I'd write a list of things I don't really understand about people....and just odd things I think the whole world in general seems to do (including myself, cos as you should realise by now I am a bit of a nutter).

1. Why people greet each other on the street randomly (I mean I know it's nice....but you gotta admit it is a little weird)
2. Why people have to be so rude
3. Why the bloody hell asian men seem to think grinding on and sexy-talking women in clubs is the best way to 'get in there'
4. Why people think it's fun to get completely utterly annihilated on a night out that they pass out in their own vom: that is NOT my idea of a good night out.... weirdo.
5. Why men think it is acceptable to snog every single girl in the club
6. Why men aren't all like Prince Charming. Life would be so much simpler as a fairytale
7. Why women are so disrespectful of their own bodies: on a night out it is NOT attractive to have arse cheek out. Save it for the bedroom. Mega inapprops.
8. Why girls think that everytime a girl has a guy over, they bang
9. Why you get called a slut if you hang out with loads of men, but if it's the opposite way round the guy gets called a 'lad'. Madness.
10. Why everyone loves football so much (I don't think I'll ever get why it's so entrancing to watch 14 men run around after a ball in tiny shorts.... personally I think it's a bit weird that men enjoy watching other men chase a ball in minimal clothing. But then, that's just my personal opinion)
11. What on earth some designers are thinking when they come up with new 'quirky' clothing...it's not usually quirky, it's usually absolutely mental and noone would be seen dead wearing something as weird as that
12. Why people are crazy enough to follow every fashion fad (see above for my reason)
13. Why people see being individual as a bad thing: don't be a clone!
14. Why some people idolise their mates. WAKE UP AND LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE!
15. Why you have to PAY to use a bog in London train stations
16. Why people think racist jokes are funny. You're being racist. How is that ever funny?
17. How people can stay awake until silly o'clock and still be alive the next day for a lecture at 9am...
18. Why cigarettes were ever invented.
19. Why people buy from 'vintage' shops: it's just overly priced second hand stuff.. just go to a charity shop and it's the same stuff for cheaper?!
20. Why you have to pay so much for University
21. Why your parents teach you to 'never talk to strangers'. Everyone's a stranger 'til you get to know them, so if we stuck by this rule we'd all live in solitude without any friends. How ridiculous does it sound now with that in mind...
22. What people have against the police. If they nicked you for summit you obv did something wrong so get over it. They're only doing their job- they're people too, not 'pigs'.

I apologise if anyone takes offence to any of the above statements. It is purely what my mad brain has come up with at half past one in the morning, and I'm only expressing my point of view (which everyone is entitled to).
 
Much Love x
