Holiday Habits

I've been off work since Christmas now and I can say honestly I do miss it, so in the spirit of honesty I thought I should confess to what my holidays so far have looked like. I honestly don't know what my life would be like without netflix, sometimes I do think it would be an improvement but usually I am thankful for its existence. 
Currently watching: Notting Hill
Song in my head: "A" by Got7 (if you're going to watch, I do recommend you turn on the subtitles) 
I don't really know yet what this blog post is about, it's mostly just an urge to write down my late night musings. I have been binge watching netflix for pretty much the whole holidays including spending the last few nights staying up until the small hours of the morning watching American Horror Story with my cousin Tori. I have to say that it is far more enjoyable watching with someone than not, but I think that's a rather obvious statement; unless all the people available to watch with you are disagreeable vocal critics of everything and can't sit down without finding some fault with whatever it is you are watching. Luckily I don't have anyone like that even within the vicinity so whenever I do have a companion to become a couch potato with me, it change the experience of binge watching. I lost my train of thought just now so I'm sorry if that came out in a rather awkward manner. I got a sudden craving for pizza and I am super tempted to see if Dominos is still open to deliver, I'd imagine not since it is 3:30am. One can dream. Though now I am ridiculously curious so I have endeavored to find out and it turns out nothing is open or delivering at this time of day which is not really that surprising. I am unfortunately running out of shows that I really want to watch on netflix, this happened once already but I happened upon Turboflix which is an extension of Netflix that allows you to access the international Netflix. There are a lot of shows I haven't seen still that are sitting in my list waiting until I am in the right mood but the shows I was keen to see I have managed to tick off already.
I am going to attempt to list the shows I have seen since I joined Netflix.
I am going to start with the most recent and see what my memory can do. 
1. American Horror Story (obviously) - SE 1,2,3,4
2. Lie to Me - SE 1,2,3
3. About A Boy - SE 1,2
My memory has failed me already but luckily Netflix has a recently watched section
4. Pretty Little Liars - SE 1,2,3,4,5
5. Gossip Girl - SE 1,2,3,4,5,6
6. Ouran High School Host Club - SE 1
7. Sherlock - SE 1,2,3
8. Baby Daddy - SE 1,2,3,4
9. Orphan Black - SE 1,2, 3 isn't available here yet
10. Orange is the New Black - SE 1,2,3
11. Daredevil - SE 1
12. Jane the Virgin - SE 1
13. The Delivery Man - SE 1
14. Once Upon A Time - SE 1,2,3,4
15. Grace and Frankie - SE 1
16. United States of Tara - SE 1,2,3
17. Don't Trust the B```` in Apartment 23 - SE 1,2
18. Girlfriends Guide to Divorce - SE 1
19. Glee - SE 1,2,3,4,5,6
20. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - SE 1
21. The Inbetweeners - SE 1,2,3
22. Archer - SE 1,2,3,4,5
23. Brooklyn Nine-Nine - SE 1,2

Shows I started but haven't gotten all the way through, yet. 
Call the Midwife, White Collar, Scrubs, Bobs Burgers, Parks and Recreation, the Paradise, New Girl, Arrested Development, Gotham, One Tree Hill, Breaking Bad, Last Man Standing, How to Get Away with Murder, How I Met Your Mother, Merlin SE 1,2,3,4
Malcolm in the Middle, Frasier, Friends 
and there are plenty more that I want to see this year but it is now 5:43am, I've moved on to Along Came Polly and I think that even though I don't feel tired or like sleeping at all, it might be important to get some sleep, just maybe. 
To all those who can survive on minimal sleep, you have my respect! You see I think what this post was really started as was me thinking about my sleeping habits since I have been binge watching pretty hard lately and haven't been sleeping at night as much, then during the day I will wake up around midday. It is quite a new thing for me well not the sleeping until noon but the not sleeping through the night is definitely quite a different feeling. Today is the first time this year I have stayed up through until sunrise.

A New Year

It's a new year
As most everyone does when a new year comes, I made a list of resolutions, dreams and plans that I hope to fulfill before 2017 comes around. So to begin my resolutions, I am here speaking at you because one of my resolutions is finding ways to express myself, this also includes taking dance classes and possibly even starting a vlog, but for now I am happy to just write down the random stuff that is falling out of my brain.
So, to begin with, I thought I would talk about where my life is now, so you can get to know me in this moment. I think I expect big changes this year because when I think ahead to another new year, I don't see myself being the same person as I am. So I am also writing to myself in a way, to future me who I hope will read this and I don't know, have some sort of revelation about change or whatever.
I hate having to talk about myself by the way but there are certain things I end up rambling about, so this will be very vague in some parts and too detailed in others, but what can you do?
I had to review and describe my work history recently since I rewrote my resume. I have to be perfectly honest; I hated having to do it because I had to find fancy ways of saying, that in my job, I do housework, play games with the kids and make their lunch. I felt as though I couldn't sum up what kind of work I did without missing so many aspects of things I had learnt in my work; so I spent the whole time worrying whether it was coming off as impressive or just some random odd jobs I had picked up, but I did come to the realisation that I have worked a lot more jobs than I'd thought and I've gained a lot of valuable skills.
As I write this, things keep popping into my head and so I'm just going to write those random thoughts down, I hope it will make sense in the end. I'm sorry in advance.
Song in my head currently: Youth - Troye Sivan
What I am watching: Bridget Jones's Diary
I need to do a separate blog for my tv show addiction.
What I am investing in most: Got7
Keira introduced me to Got7 last week and I have to say that even though I can't sing along to their ridiculously catchy songs, they are the most adorable ever! Plus they dance and dance is my weakness. One of my new years resolutions is to get back into dancing, it's a passion I let go of when I moved out of my parents house and I seriously wish I had kept it up.
I've lost my train of mind, I just got to the point in Bridget Jones where she is about to get it on with Daniel Cleaver and he sees her granny panties. I don't get how people don't love this movie.

I am so ready for 2016, it feels like it will be an journey. I am absolutely optimistic that good things will happen, but that's the way a new year makes me feel. Except for the one time when I spent New Years watching the guy I was crushing on make out with his new girlfriend. This year was started on a brave note and those are pretty rare for me so I am full of optimism that this year will be the year of experiencing new things. Of course I can't help but worry that I won't live up to my own expectations and that the goals and plans I've made will just stay in my notebooks, but like I said I am optimistic. This year at least looks far more promising than previous ones for I have a new job opportunity, Jayden landed a managerial role at a new restaurant and so due to his encouragement I have submitted my updated resume in hopes of landing a job in their kitchen. The idea totally freaks me out because even though I have worked for two different caterers and done my own gig, it is a totally different ball game working in a restaurant kitchen; at least I am assuming it is, it could be exactly the same as catering and I would be totally fine, but I'm nervous either way.
This post is taking far too long to get through and I'm sorry.
My age currently is 20 and so that means that this year is the big 21, I started plans for it 3 months ago since I am seriously keen for it; the theme is masquerade. I have visions of beautiful gowns and gorgeous decor which will take quite a bit of effort, time and money. I am planning to invite heaps of people from different times in my life, and it will shamelessly be a celebration of my life!

I have the best family, by the way, today they all went away (abandoned me) not actually! I made the conscious decision to stay home because Grandma (Gma) fell over this morning. It is a very rare thing that is a very big deal in our house. She started the year by enjoying staying in bed all day (so did I) as well as night which means that her muscle have deteriorated a bit so she has less balance so I will have to give her a bit of tough love and force her to work out and do some exercises. She's a funny, stubborn but caring like crazy person. She has the best sense of humour, so you can't hang out with her without at least giggling a little.


This post has taken me quite a while to write but it was done in one day. Expect many more because I think I like talking, so thanks for taking your time, if you did.

I keep getting urges to use emojis but I don't want to!

Keep your smile on!
