Music and a quiz :)

Hello again :)
It's me (i know shocking isn't it)
Its post time again
In case you hadn't all ready guessed
And this post has two parts :)
The first is about me and my music
Music is a really big part of my life
I listen to it loads every single day
It has the power to trigger a memory and change a mood
So i thought i would create a little post based around it :)
I'm gonna put my mp3 player on shuffle and write about the first three songs that come on :)

Song 1:Friends o' Mine by Bowling for Soup

I love BFS :D
They are my favourite band
EVER!!!
Ive seen them twice
And I'm seeing them again in 99 days :)
Not like I'm counting or anything
I have a wristband that i bought at the last gig that i wear practically all the time
Even in bed
And it GLOWS in the DARK
Yes its that freakin' cool :)
But it can be distracting when I'm trying to sleep
Me being all distractble and all :P
BFS are all awesome
I named my flute Jaret and my music stand Chris because of them :)
I'm planning to get a BFS tattoo when I'm old enough
Its gonna have BFS at the top then bellow that a unicorn thing that's on one of there merch tees I have and gonna say "shut up and smile" at the bottom as that's one of my favourite song by them :)
Just thought you needed to know dear reader
Their music means that much to me
And in particular this song is quite appropriate atm
I'm missing college and my other friends
I know that shocking but my friends are just too amazing at times
There always there when I need them
And they make me chuckle muchly :)
Even if they do call me cute
I STILL love them :)
So indeed I am "so glad that i have these friends o' mine"

Song 2:Russian Roulette by Riahanna

This song is pure art
Its definitely a beautiful song :)
It reminds me of sitting in the canteen back at Padgate
I think it was on the music channel that was on the TV a lot
And I imagine it world be a really good song to dance too
I would try if had any form of co ordination
Or balance
Or grace
But those are all just technical hitches
I especially love the middle bit of this song with the lyrics
"As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I, ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late to think of the value of my life"
I don't know why i just do :)

Song 3:Do You Want Me (Dead) by All Time Low

All time low are BABES :D
I would!!!
*daydreams*
Anyhow...
I have been known to lick phones before cause they contained pictures of said babes
Yes I'm that normal :)
That reminds me there was a poster of Alex Gaskarth in Kerrang which I bought today :)
Major babification :)
I love ATL's music cause it does tend to cheer me up a lot :)
I blast them out when I'm in a mehh mood and suddenly happy Hannah re arrives
Makes me sing along
Which is really good in my bedroom
Not so good when I'm walking to college down a busy road and past a primary school
Doesn't half get ya some funny looks

And now on to the next part :)
The Quiz!!
Now here's how it works
You readers
Yes YOU

Try not to answer using single words as that just gets boring
You can answer all or just some of them :)
Then email me your answers (to awkwardgirraffeandhertravels@hotmail.co.uk)

STOP THE PRESS :)

Hello dear reader :)
You may be wondering what the fudge I'm chatting on about in the title.
Well I forgot bum cheeks
And as much as that sounds like an odd statement now it was much worse when I said it aloud in maths last lesson cause I realised that I had.
Definitely got a few odd looks and people thinking my coursework must have been a tad shall we say different.
Had to convince them this was a normal statement before they thought I'd lost it entirely (but lets be honest I never really had it).
I don't now how effective or convincing this explanation was tbf when I stared talking about awkward giraffes and got my turtle out.
And before you ask that's not an innuendo.
This is my awkward turtle and yes I did get him out in maths today
Yesterday we went to Chester Zoo with college so i was bound to buy something cute and cuddly
Its a necessity.
Just realised how depressed he looks in the picture.
Ill have to snuggle him better later.
Anyways Ive digressed form my point that I forgot bum cheeks.
Now let me explain.
In my last post I wrote about my personal lexicon.
So basically all the words I uses.
If you not read it already go now and come back when your done.
Finished?
OK, as I've said I forgot to include bum cheeks.
A ma-who-sive mistake on my part I know.
Now this phrase replaces many naughty words for example the s or the f one.
And can occur in several contexts.
For example...

Other person:Did you remember to do *insert task here*
Hannah: Oh bum cheeks no I didn't

Or like this...

Hannah:*casually walking along minding her own business when her little toe is viciously attacked by a table (some people say I walk into them but I disagree I think there out to get me cause of my super secret superhero identity *NAAAAAAAAAA* :P if you not a noobian lots of my blogs wont make sense btw... just roll with it)* OOOWWWWW BUM CHEEKS!!!

Its a good phrase to say cause of the plosiveness and single syllable sharpness.
And also I use the word ma-who-sive a lot.
Just scroll back up i used it up there^^
Well in case you didn't realises its my special way of saying massive.
Just sound it out the way I wrote it and your doing it right.
It kinda incorporates huge into it.
Cause of the ho sound.
Its quite difficult to get across my point when its sound based and I'm typing this to you.
But not as difficult as stapling jelly to a wall
That's damn difficult.
But never impossible
Once again I must apologise for the disorganisedness of my blog posts.
Just thought I'd illustrate my point.
Plus Ive not used paint in a while and I don't wanna lose my epic skills
And it looks pretty :)
Wow!
Two posts in 4 days.
Aren't you guys lucky
Or unlucky depending on your perspective.
I'm hoping this is gonna become a regular occurrence.
In fact I will make you a promise dear reader.
I will blog once a week where possible.
I pinky promise.
Now I just need ideas.
I might do a quiz like lolrex but ill have to ask her first ( and she is such a babe I even put a link to her blog just incase some people haven't read it but be warned its better than mine www.lolrexlol.blogspot.com)
Watch this space peoples.
Thanks for reading :) xxx

Awkward giraffe makes a comeback :)

Right :)
Hello people :)
Now lets start with the fact I've not blogged in ages.
I mean like AGES.
AND AAGGGGEEEESSS.
There are many complected reasons for this.
Non of which involve me saving the world *shifty eyes*
*cough* NAAAAAAAAAA *cough* (Lolrex and Salmonbear that one was for you ;) :P ... even though I just realised Salmonbear doesn't read this)
So why am I blogging now I hear you shout.
Well its more of a faint whisper really cause tbf there aren't many of you reading this.
Well the first reason is lolrex wants me to and I wish to stay at the top of her list :P
And if you don't understand that it's one of our many random conversations/stories in the sanatorium we also call college.
They're gonna be lots of them in my blog cause they are 'mazing.
I love you guys in noob.
Just sayin' :)
Anyways another reason is it is infinitely better than doing my maths coursework
Newton-Raphson can wait dear reader :)
LOL thats irony cause it uses tangents and I go off on them.
Gotta love irony.
Like the word lisp having a s sound :P
Oh Em Gee I just typed the title for this blog and realised how awkward the word awkward is.
Especially that K.
Just stuck stood awkwardly between two W's.
Like a third wheel.
*does my third wheel hand movement*
That poor K.
I feel your pain K its gonna be rite.
And that little tangent takes me towards the subject of this blog.
My personal lexicon :)
Lets start with the word spork
Well obviously this is an actual word meaning a piece of cutlery that is half spoon and half fork that is great when you go camping :)
But I don't use it in that context.
Mine is more as an insult
Like... YOU SPORK
It means a silly person.
It comes from the fact that I don't swear (as do a fair few of my quirky words)
I don't swear as I'd end up swearing in front of the rents and they would no likey that.
And also I dislike offending people.
So instead I call people sporks :)
Especially when they show lots of sporkish bethoviour.
Looking at no one in particular
*cough*WHEWELL*cough*
(I'm just messing with ya Whewell :P)
Anyways I also like the plosive P sound as its nice to shout when your a tad annoyed.
Now i can't exactly remember but I think it was first said when I was having one of my funny days.
Those days when I will just sit chat shiz and giggle at anything.
Especially cats.
I'm having one today.
Thehehe a Cat :D
So on these "I've lost it" days I will have just come out with it
Like this...
you... You... YOU SPORK!!!
Now on to fudge and its many variations such as fudge cakes.
Now this is used in my case to replace the F word.
It comes in many phrases such as...
Oh fudge cakes (translates to Oh f***)
For fudge sake (for f*** sake)
What the fudge (what the f***)
Fudge off/you (f*** off/you)
And apparently that's a cute thing to do.
Now let me just make a point...

I AM NOT CUTE!!!!!

I'm constantly having to argue this point in college cause apparently I have several "cute" traits.
And i make it worse by stropping/ stamping my feet when people say tat.
And letting lolrex's boy put my hair in two pony tails.
And pouting.
But I'm not cute cause I'm a ninja and ninjas aren't cute.
Ever.
EVER!
And that's reminded me Whewell is on 4.
I would explain but it doesn't matter reader it doesn't matter.
Anyway back to my words.
And I'm having a major mind blank :/
OOOHHHHH FUDGE
Well these aren't my words but I do pronouns tool and idiot unusually.
Tool is said like TO-EL
And Idiot is like Ee-D-Yot
These are said like this when there insults.
This blog seems to make it sound like I insult people a lot.
I only do when they deserve it.
Which with my friends is rather often
LOVE YOU GUYS :D <3
Anyway... I use the word rite a lot too.
Like be rite (it will be OK)
And its rite (its fine)
Cause I'm cool like that :)
Oh and btw if you hadn't already noticed (but you'd have to be pretty unobservational) I do just type as I think.
I just let it flowwwww.
Like creative juices pouring outta my head and onto the keyboard.
But not actual juice cause that tends to fudge up a computer.
They hate juice.
Tea on the other hand they loves.
Muchly :)
Anyways that's the reason for the disorganisedness of my blogs.
Plus I'm special.
Well the official terms dyslexic tendencies but I'll stick with special.
So well done for getting this far through the web of blog threads.
Like branches criss crossing everywhere in a jungle.
You force your way through the jungle and past sextiger (yeah that's another college thing)
And you've reached a clearing in the jungle.
Its called the end of the blog :)
Ttfn readers :)
Thanks for reading :) xxx

My stupidity and Japan :)

I think I've solved my lack of inspiration issues.
Right, I'm gonna start this blog with a little story of my stupidity.
I went to log in to blog.
Nothing unusual there. Then I came to a slight technical hitch. I couldn't remember my password.
But wait that's not the stupid part.
I clicked the bit to reset my password back by having it sent to my email address.Then it happened. I got excited when i got an email.
WTF brain.
You told the website to send you an email then ACTUALLY got chuffties when you got one.
You sad sad person with a brain that's not in cohesion.
That's my clever word for today. I'm gonna illustrate that cause i can.

My paint skills are getting better even if i do say so myself.
The sad part is I have stupid incidents like this all the time.
For example I was in the pound shop last year and I actually asked how much the glow sticks were.
What a fod slap moment.
And for the uneducated the fod is a colloquial term for ones forehead.
So now one knows.
OK, the observant of you (or just the ones that bothered to read the tittle of this blog) will realise i am now going to talk about Japan.

I <3 Japan.
For several reasons.
One of these is the people are little. The average height for women is 5 foot 2 and men is 5 foot 7 1/2. Now being 5 foot 7 and having height issues (i wanna be taller) Japan is a good place for me. Id be practically giant. This would make me feel good especially when i wear heels. My boyfriend doesn't like it when I do that cause hes already smaller than me but I like it so i do it anyway.
I'm nice like that.
Another reason I like Japan is its cities are all so modern and new and shiny. Now those of you who know me now I am of the easily distracted type. That is partially the reason i blog so infrequently. So Japan being all pretty and robotty etc I would be most amused their. I'd make friends with all the shiny things and stare at the big lightly things.
Cause I'm cool like that.
Furthermore (oh look at me being all clever and connectivy) I also like Japanese food. I love pretty much all food but Japanese has to rank pretty high in my all time favourites. I like sushi, noodles, tempura... i could really go on all night.
Yum.
Omnomnom.
Now I'm hungry.
FRIDGE RAID.
Right back to Japan. I have been doing karate for over 9 years now and in case you didn't know that originated in Japan. Yet another reason I love the place.
Not like I've been.
YET.
I want to go as part of my gap year. Spend 6 moths on medical placements over there and get to spend time in FREAKING JAPAN. Like from September 2012 to March 2013.
So yeah.
Blog over.
Why are you still here?
Are yo staking me?
Wierdo :P
Just kidding my readers.
THANK YOU FOR READING AND STAY TUNED FOR MORE ME BLOGGINGNESS.
Well not tuned as such since its not like a TV or radio show.
Though I think I should have my own TV show and it would be amazing. Id interview loads of amazing people like Haley Williams and do funny sketches and drama and stuff. Basically I'd give it something for everyone.
But that's I irrelevant for now. Maybe on another blog.
Hmmm *ponders*
See what I said about me being easily distracted.
Goodbye you smexy mofos :D xxx

My lack of inspiration blog (in which i fail) xx



Right hello :) sorry for the lack of blogness this week there were 3 reasons...




1) Ive been poorlysick and my brain fails to function when I'm ill as shown in this graph (I like graphs :D)


2) I know whatever I write i will not be as good as amazing Belens blog (your a babe:P)




3) I have had a complete and utter lack of inspiration on what to write about... I'm talking nada... not even a crumb of inspiration.




Then it hit me.... I should blog about inspiration and my lack of :)



Now wait before you go giving me those funny looks i know you were giving your computer screen when you read that. Bare with me for now and read on I will atempt to make it entertaining...



Go on you know you wanna. You might as well your here now anyway :)




Firstly what the fudge cake is inspiration cause if you wanna find something you usually have to know what it is. You cant hunt an animal you've never seen before. You cant actually hold it or buy it in a box. If you could I would get it every week at Tesco but its not in any aisle I've ever seen.




If you look it up in the dictionary it is "stimulation for the human mind to creative thought or to the making of art"




Now that makes me think several things....

A) LOL it says stimulation (i spend every day in college surrounded by male 16-18 year olds leave me and my dirty mind alone)

B) I don't actually think that sentence is grammatically correct and

C) I still don't have a clue what inspiration is or how to find it




So I google it. This is generally what I do if I don't understand something or someone else doesn't. Hence one of my commonly spoken phrases is google it :)




If you google "what is inspiration" you get about 68,300,000 results and that's way too many so next i tried "what is inspiration and how do i get it" and got about 178,000,000 results. Now it doesn't take a genius to work out those numbers aren't going the right way. So i clicked the advance search options button and instantly felt clever. After a good 5 minutes of google jigery pokery i managed to down to 90,800 which i think is a more reasonable number so i started looking at the results. Between the crap that i had managed to find (for example no google I do not want a container gardening for dummies 2nd edition book) i managed to find a website called http://www.inspirationpalace.com/ and me being a logical person I am thought his might help my lack of inspiration.



This site entertained me for a while. There's lots of funny mini articles. I like this one http://inspitationpalace.com/wedding-crashing-101 as it made me chuckle :)



After this I sat and decided to work out if i had over come my problem and i came to one grand conclusion...



NO!



Crap :/



Maybe next time I will find some inspiration and write a good blog. You'll have to come back to find out



Dern dern dern *dramatic music* :P

FIRST BLOG :D HUGS

Right... I'm new to this whole blogging thing so sorry if this is craptacular. I do tend to be very good at fails of the epic variety. Especially when it comes to movement, grace and balance. I'm the sort of person who often feels the need to hug the floor.
Yeah you know those are some epic paint skills and your all jealous :P Now where was I... I know... HUGS. I love hugs. End of. Hugs are great. And if you disagree your wrong and you smell bad. Yeah I'm that mature. I would have someone attached to me constantly giving me hugs if that was possible. In fact I think we should use them instead of money. So when I when get world domination and you want something in a shop you just hug the shop assistant. The only issue with this is some people would starve to death cause there hugs are frankly poo and some would get fat cause of all the stuff they could get as their hugs are freakin lush. However this could be a new form of natural selection and get rid of the over population problems in the world. Sounds like a PLAN.. with a capital P L A and N :) xx
