Death of a holiday

When I last left you I stumbled by accident upon the return of teen wolf and swiftly dived straight in as if no time had passed at all. It was an average episode but a character returned who was, much to my disappointment, not the character I wished to see. However despite that jaunt down memory lane my mind and life has been somewhat in action so prepare yourself for a ramble worthy of the biggest time thieves in history. Strap in tight. Snuggle down and get comfortable, it is going to be a poorly planned and haphazard ride even though I have started keeping notes on what to post.

The following information will have little order and most assuredly did not happen in the order of which they are mentioned. For your viewing pleasure I have also begun to collect images to inject some sparkle to the blog so yay, I hope.

I'd like to begin by asking anyone for advice or links regarding helping the refugees from Syria as each time I see them on the news I am struck by an insistent need to do something, to try and help and it has settled inside me for good. We cannot let these people suffer unduly simply because certain newspapers insinuate their intentions are malicious or because we have our own problems. Everyone has problems and we should help people wherever and however we can so please message or comment with information on how I can arrange a clothes and food donation or drive. Love your fellow earthlings be they from your land or not. Everyone matters, you, them and even that brat who bullied you in primary school. Rock on with fresh positivity for 2016 and kick the ass of misery! Together we shall overcome the negative blights of our lives and come closer as comrades. It's worth it, trust.

After a bit of a break for the third of only four smokes (cutting back) whilst watching the beginning of Ash Vs Evil Dead (I'll give my opinion later) I return with varied tales in ramble form.

So as I've mentioned before my partner's birthday is coming up and after going to the shop for supplies I was reminded of a friend from University who I have slowly lost contact with despite remaining friends and on one another's Facebook. It was a moment of strange nostalgia which has stayed with me and though I doubt he reads this or we keep in better touch I miss living near him because we did hang out. Today I had a McDonald's which I consider my salute to him and our friendship which began in our first year at university after an 'advert' on tumblr for anyone who would be attending UEL with me. He was and most likely remains awesome.

In other news along with beginning the new series Ash Vs Evil Dead, AHS has returned and remains entertaining despite the disappointment of other seasons. I also started Brooklyn Nine-Nine and swiftly shared such a joyous discovery with Sam so we are now wading through that show together. We're currently on season two thanks to Netflix and despite my excitement to begin new seasons of other shows we watch together I am in no way less happy to watch that show which fills me with such merriment.

With talk of sharing with Sam we are also both participating in a reading challenge I found on Facebook.


As you can see it offers variety and I am currently reading Pet Sematary by Stephen King as the book published before the year of my birth. I have a few ideas for each book but until I get there I cannot guess where this challenge may take me. In addition to this being s new year challenge I am using it to keep my mental health buoyant due to the recent doctor's visit (I have another next Monday) however if you have read my prior posts a small plan involved in mission busy mind was cancelled due to bad weather. My father called before I left the flats to meet him for our spooky shop to advise against it until the weather improves but agreed that I should still so visit I did. It was not the plans I expected but it turned out more than well with late Christmas presents (t-shirt mentioning fairies, unicorns and mermaids, money and a box of roses, the big round kind of box), catching up and a fine catch of family photos which I am contemplating uploading to share with the world along with the tales of my family. It was amazing to see my family members so young and I hope most of them will find a home on the wall with my other photos which keep homesickness at bay. The visit helped with that more of course and as usual I received the best hugs from my fad, step mum and their youngest cat Freyja who is the fluffiest thing in creation since getting her winter coat. To insinuate any disappointment lingering after the visit would be to lie as even as I left and bought cigarettes on the way home I received a compliment from the female cashier about my hair. How can it be anything but an amazing day with hugs, presents and compliments? It helped a lot too due to the currently horrific state of my skin due to my inability to access fresh air very often.

In closing the pain is still there and sleep has once again proven itself useful as I battle through depression with Sam helping more than I can describe. I'm worried more about my granddad  (who has apparently lost a great deal of weight) and one of my best friends who suffers under poor mental health as she struggles the many minefields laid out for young single artists. Neither deserve the suffering they have and continue to endure but to lose either would surely destroy some part of my heart forever. I've never had a friend like her, she makes me understand why girls call one another sisters and as for my granddad he although distant due to my growing up out of London has remained the most generous, kind and caring grandfather I've known. For background info he is my father's father and  I met my friend in my second year of uni during her first so incision to the hardships of life she currently carves her way through the difficulties of third year studies. I love them both man and though I don't want to leave it once again on a sour note I can say in all honesty my new socks bring me strange excited joy and if this weather gets any colder I may permanently attach my slippers to my feet, haha, insert your laughter here at such a humorous image.

I guess I just want to say hello to anyone reading too and apologise for the jukebox shuffle topics of my mind. Should you want me to go into any topic I've mentioned before feel free to message or comment and say, suggestions are welcome. Sharing is caring right?

Health and happiness to all the freaky and non freaky darlings.

P.S. I may discuss the assaults in Germany soon so I shall put trigger warnings should I do so.

Peace.
