Positive Thoughts!

Sorry this blog has been a debbie downer lately. I guess my life has kind of been a debbie downer lately of stress, grey skies, poverty and academic self esteem issues. Meh! But there are positives in my life! Like today my check finally went through so not only could I pay the rent for the term but I was able to book my vacation North. I'm going to Glasgow to visit my friend Patrick in March yeyyyyyyyyyyy! I find this kind of funny because I keep complaining about the horrendous lack of sunshine here, but it's surely 100% worse way up north. However, I think this is okay because Patrick is like a giant ray of sunshine, so this should make up for any adverse weather conditions. Last time I saw Patrick (in like October or November) he told me that I have really skinny arms, which honestly gave me a self esteem boost for months. Like I haven't thought my arms were chubby since. Also, when Patrick visited over the summer and I wasn't sure if I should wear my 3 Wolf Moon T-Shirt (best shirt eva!), he told me something along the lines to just be myself and not worry about other people. So right! Basically, Patrick is wonderful and a trip North to visit him will probably do as much good as a week in the sun, replenishing vitamin D, would do. So thank you Patrick, for making my life a little bit better!
Duhhhh but what a SCUMBAG! Seriously, I once liked John Edwards, thought of him as a pretty nice guy. Apparently he's just a sleazy old man who enjoys fathering children with other women while his wife suffers through cancer.

This Looks SOOOO much better than the Snuggie! Motivation for getting a job!
This blog post by Roger Ebert about his journey from losing his ability to speak to his finding his ability to write again is amazing. I really enjoy Ebert's blog and twitter and I stupidly did not realise his illness had robbed him of the ability to speak. It really says a lot not only about the power of written word, but also of social media. Anyways, have a read through.
I have no idea what this film is about. It combines a ghost story with a literary festival with a love triangle and it's set in Ireland. BUT it does involve Cieran Hinds speaking in her real accent and since I love Ciaran so much maybe I'll see it. But probably not... Though I'll see if it's actually released. Or I'll just watch Persuasion over and over again.

O.M.G. Apparently Farrah's mom on Teen Mom (and previously 16 and Pregnant) was arrested for assaulting Farrah! MAJOR DRAMA. Even though Farrah is the worst mom ever, I think her mom should deal with her major anger issues. I mean on the show it's hard deciding which one is the bigger bitch. Though, I hope Farrah is okay. I don't even think Butch would beat his children...
