How to live life

 A random advice for life thing I found online. I've commented in italics on some a la hutchy stylee.

HEALTH:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is
manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to meditate.
6. (Breathe)

7. Read more books than you did.

8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

PERSONALITY:

11. Comparing our lives to others is fruitless. We have no idea what their journey is about.

12. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones especially about things out of our control. Invest energy in the positive present moment.
13. Try not to over do. Understand limits.
14. Why take ourselves so seriously. No one else does.
15. Gossip drains precious energy.
16. Dream more while we are awake. (Yes!!!)
17. Envy is a waste of time. We already have all we need. (I should remember this when on facebook profiles of gorgeous people)
18. Forget issues of the past. Let go of our partners mistakes of the past. Focus on our present/future happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. (I took this one on recently, refreshing)

20. Make peace with our past so it won’t spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of our happiness except us.
22. Realize that life is a school and we are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons we learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. We don’t have to win arguments. It’s ok to agree to disagree.

SOCIETY:
25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything. (I totally don't agree with this. >.>)
28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is insignificant compared to what you think of yourself.
31. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends & family will. Stay in touch.
LIFE:
32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. (This is possibly my favourite)
34. (Higher powers) heal everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36. No matter how we feel, get up, dress up, and show up. (Totally agreed.)
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When we awake alive in the morning, be thankful.
39. Our Inner most is always happy. Release your “Inner Happy” on the world every day!

The Holidays: A summary

Monday: Played Sims Bustin' out on the Xbox and rocked it. Had a massive kerfuffle trying to contact the ever-busy/ sleeping Dukey to organise stuff.
Tuesday: Pancake day and one of my highlights! I invited Harry, Bekah and Dukey over and we had a boys V girls pancake competition. Ours won obviously. Then when Harry left early (he also arrived early, mad) Dukey and Bekah stayed to help me pack. Then Dukey dropped me and Bekah at hers where we went for a walk in the woods, made her dad dinner and then were re-joined by Dukey. We then ordered a pizza and chatted until about ten when I really did get to my dads. Realised we'd got a new puppy. Then I reconnected with my step-mum Carole when we had a massive hour long chat just like the good old days.

 Ziva and the new Puppy, Pippi (a little boy believe it or not)

Wednesday: I was at Dads now. Dukey was going to hang out but he was busy but luckily Harry cancelled on Bekah too so I got the pleasure of her company. We went to Costa Coffee where I was mistaken for a strangers daughter and therefore ignored, and me and Bekah overcame our fears of the Dentist and booked appointments. Rather, I did and Bekah laughed in shock because they didn't know what type she needed because she hadn't been in that long!
Thursday: Results Day. Harry picked me up reasonably early and we chatted about nervousness. Got my results and they were a little confusing. They weren't the soaring awesome results I had hoped for, but they were doable and mean I can continue on with my dream of Leicester and Psychology. I also started the process hopefully leading to me dropping Philosophy and Ethics. After results me and Harry joined Maisie and Josh for more pancakes and watching Love and Other Drugs. Anne Hathaway flashes her boob, we were agast.
Friday: Bowling! Aimee's birthday was Thursday but I didn't see her. So gave her some necklaces I'd got her, which I also wanted to keep. We bowled. I got the highest score of the night but also came last twice, go figure. Then I came home and made more pancakes (spotting a trend?) for Katie (my sort of step sister), Carole and Dad.
Satuday: Came home to Mum's and chilled here. Found out I had dinner with my estranged cousin Lauren, Leigh and Nicky. That was awkward but bearable, a start I suppose.
Sunday: Joe was home at last! I went round to his and slept over. We argued a lot so I guess that spoiled this day somewhat.
Monday: Woke up at Joes and hung out till about 12 when Harry picked me up. We went back to mine and chilled out. I made him lunch and we went for a walk and then he had to run so I had most of the afternoon to myself.
Tuesday: Firstly I popped round to Joe's house and we argued some more but FINALLY managed to get to the bottom of it and sort out all the worries. Then it was ladies night round Bekahs house. Just the three of us (Aimee too) hung out. Bekah's sister had made cakes so I ate those. A lot. We just chatted about life and read magazines. Amused ourself throwing galaxy buttons at each other.
Wednesday: Woke up at Bekahs, nice slow morning until eventually having to leave. Me and Aimee walked to town together (a long walk) which was okay. Then I got the bus home. Joe came over at about four and we had the usual wednesday afternoon. I made him dinner- steak, chips, fried egg and mushrooms. I'm a culinary magician.
Thursday: Went over to Joes again and we had a very pleasant afternoon. I was feeling a bit weird but better after a syrup sponge pudding. uhhmmmmm yum. Then we went for a dog walk with Hutchy. His dog is truely adorable. Was nice to see him but it felt a little off. Then we all went to Bekahs. That was nice too but again felt a little off... maybe it was just my mood. I just thought they were used to being a trio from their JC nights and I was an intruder.
Friday: Was meant to be hanging with Harry but his Dad fucked things up so I was alone all day. I decided to super clean my room. I organised my wardrobe, shelves and drawers. I cleaned and dusted every surface and ornament. I even bleached my netting and cleaned the windows. I scrubbed it from top to toe and now it's pure lux. Not a coaster out of place - I feel so tranquil and shiz.
Saturday: (Today) Harry is coming over in a while and we'll probably go for a walk because the sky is actually blue and clear! We also said we'd watch a movie, either Brothers Grimm or Candy. (Heath Ledger (L) )
Sunday: (Tommorrow) Mum's given me a tenner if I clean the living room and the kitchen so I'll probably stick the radio and go crazy with sprays and cloths. Own it. :D

All in all my holiday was a firm 9/10. Only damper was the few arguements and friction occasionally but mostly I've not had a boring day and I've seen so many awesome people so I'm super happy with how it's turned out!

It's Raining Men

Okay, I actually just put that as the title because I'm listening to it and I love it. Basically, I've got a new best male buddy around, it's been a while since I've had a really close guy friend - for some reason the old ones seem to not really give two shits anymore, not bothing to get in contact anymore.
Basically I've been feeling I need a bessy, and although I've got my girlies - they don't cover all the bases. I can't do banter with them or simple, easy advice like "Fuck it" it's always analysis and tiring conspiracy theories. Love it sometimes but sometimes I want to make bacon and pasta and eat it out the pan with someone who doesn't secretly judge my shit cooking. So I did that today and it was awesome, loving having a dude to lean upon - even if it causes a few arguments and brings a few new relationship malfunctions to light but that needed to happen so they could be dealt with.

Overall. awesome. And I get to hang out with a select few of my girlies tomorrow to recover from over-manning it today. SUPERPLUSGOOD!

Crisis

It's when you're having a bad day or a crisis and you turn to your group of friends do you realise who honestly cares. For one thing, you realise you can't tell some of them about it because they aren't close enough. Then you realise that some of them won't even take time out of playing on a computer or Xbox to offer a shoulder for you to lean on.

Honestly, some of my friends can be utter SHITHEADS.

Random Thoughts of the Evo

First thing, someone on facebook mentioned the Departed which is probably the only mafia/gangster/thriller movie I have no only endured, but repeatedly watched because I love it. Seriously, it is packed with huge names which I can't remember because I'm a faces not names person and it's such black humour too. Jack Nicholson. Can't remember the rest. I want to say Matt Damon but it's probably not, let's face it.

Next would be...something important...Went home early today. I literally did less interesting things than I would have done at school. I watched loose women, I watched Leap Year and I read Cosmo. My life could not be any more mundane.

I feel fat and unhealthy.

Chocolate milkshake is one of the worst things to spill onto your clothes or hands, it's the most foul smelling residue I've had to sit with. It was just really funky smelling and didn't come off my hands for ages. Be careful with your shakes people!

Oh, Evo. That was the important thing. Okay it wasn't, but to me it was. People do not understand my use of the words Morn, Avo and Evo. Simple answer - nobody created shortened versions of Morning, Afternoon and Evening (which are pretty long words for common use or texting) so behold, Morn, Avo, Evo. Great aren't they, they look so adorable when written in a set!

My computer gave me a heart attack earlier. I (gently) threw it onto the bed to go get a drink and it decided to turn off. Then it wouldn't turn back on. I had to shuffled the battery in and out twice, press the power button about fourty times and shake it like a polaroid picture before it showed any signs of life. But we're okay now aren't we lappy?

And lastly, I think I was hypnotised when not paying attention to have a wildly erratic reaction to doorbells. If a doorbell goes I literally jump out of my skin and want to answer it more than I want to live. I cannot stand people who are slow to the door. Don't try and stop me! That little bing-bong just sends me into a little fit of despair and frantic scrabbling. Urgh.

That is all, goodnight!
