Spooky, today I spent two hours drawing personalised wrapping paper for my boyfriend’s birthday presents! When’s your gfs birthday? :)
Now THAT is dedication… I used Christmas wrapping paper, so her presents are going to look ultra festive, and I’m going to look strange on the train ;)
Her birthday is Friday, but I’m heading up to...
DONE.
Today, I spent about 4 hours getting to and from Birmingham and shopping for my girlfriend’s birthday presents (she’s turning 20, don’t’cha know!)
I then wrapped them, wrote on her card, drew all over her card, and spent 2 and a half hours making a creative masterpiece that is absolutely stunning and fun and WOOOOO I’m a good boyfriend!
Now I’m SO PSYCHED to...
Anonymous asked: hey, good work on that powerbar project. I was looking to do the same thing. Where did you get the ply wood cut and do you have any measurements I can work with?
Farewell, iPod.
You served me vigilantly, but your time in the world of working technology is well and truly over.
Rest in Peace.

lucys-imaginarium asked: Hi! Your essay sounds really interesting and something I would love to read. I know you probably won't want to post it anywhere on the internet because of the risk of plagerism but if there is any way I could read it let me know. Regardless, could you explain how you reach your final point (doesn't have to be hugely detailed)? (:

I just got 83 points on A SINGLE WORD.
‘Bisects’
This must be what Dante felt like when he finished his Divine Comedy. I feel like a literary genius.

My Ethics II essay title is pretty...
“Can one consistently hold that abortion is sometimes permissible but that infanticide is never permissible?”
My conclusion will, of course, that we can consistently hold that view. But it was much more difficult to arrive at it than I imagined it would be - I’m discussing some pretty controversial philosophical topics, like personal identity and contractual obligation

I just went to a gig in Birmingham
to see a band called ‘Grouplove’
They were absolutely incredible, they were so energetic and seemed to be really enjoying themselves!
But then I came home and searched for ‘Naked Kids - Grouplove’ into Google… It’s one of their songs, but now I feel like I’m going to be on some sort of FBI paedophile list…

moriartyssadisticconscious asked: foodgawker. com. Trust me, you can find anything and everything there. It's worth signing up for (it's free) because then you can save everything you find (it even organizes everything for you by category so you don't have too). I've found a ton of stuff on there I want to try.

The most relaxed Valentines Day ever.
Instead of going out for a fancy, expensive meal, or buying each other huge gifts, my girlfriend and I decided that we’d get a take-away (we opted for Indian, and picked a few dishes at random off the menu - they were goooood) and made each other cards, whilst spending no more than 10 pounds on a present :)
Thus, Valentines Day felt really special. Just us two in her room eating food...

My girlfriend is in a lecture
I was going to go, but a 2 hour lecture on the history of penal policy (hehehe ‘penal’ sounds dirty) would probably want to make me eat my own brain
It’s strange being in an empty house that isn’t mine…
I might have a cup of tea. Using a kettle that isn’t mine. And tea bags and milk I haven’t paid for.
I feel like a 21st century slightly shit thief, a...

I’ll be on a train to Sheffield :)
Valentines Day is one of my favourite days of the year, and I intend to celebrate it fully by eating junk food and drinking wine with my beautiful girlfriend. I got her present today too ;) It’s a toy. The suggested age range on it is 5-11 years old. I think this tells you something about our relationship.
(By the way, she’s not ACTUALLY 5-11...

awindowofmysoul asked: Love your blog :) Although you cannot tell this from my blog.. I am a Philosophy major as well AND live in Livingston, Montana so rock climbing is one of my greatest passions! Have a great day :)
sierrablaircoyle reblogged your photo: Attractive climbing face #1… I climb like Mick…
faces. I’m a fan of sticking my tongue out.
I think I look less attractive when I climb than I ever have done in day to day life… And yes, that includes when I’m drunk

you look terrified
I think this was taken at the point where I realised the slopey volume my left hand is on was slopey and not nice, like I was expecting…

Catholics condemn contraception... Again. →
I think that one day, religious leaders (especially Catholics) are going to have to make a great and sincere apology for the harm and death and disease, as well as the detriment to psychological well-being, that their attitude towards condoms has caused.
US Catholics have strongly criticised a White House rule that would make Church-linked schools and hospitals give employees access to birth ...

I was originally meant to stay at my girlfriends'...
I only got back this afternoon. I feel like I practically moved in over last week, I even called her bedroom ‘our room’ at one point. I’m not a freak, promise.
This has been a beautiful few days :)
