Schmidt happens!

Another New Girl reference as my title, sorry to be boring! It's just such a good damn funny show and if you watch it you will now how hilarious Schmidt is. Today was my first day back at work and it was ok, it was actually light when I got up and there was chocolate cake in the staff room, so it can't be all bad. It's pancake day tomorrow, admittedly I am not religious and I do not really appreciate the religious significance of Lent etc. I have never been religious but I had never said "I don't believe in God". Even at 25, I just do not know. I do know that there is something out there but I have yet to discover what it is and perhaps in years to come I will develop my spiritual side more, I wouldn't object to doing so.

Anyway back to pancakes. Every year I beg Michael to make me pancakes (he is not that bothered about pancake day etc) and this year I have bought a ready made mix so all he has to do is put it in a pan! I tried it last year...yes it was a READY MADE mix and yet it still went wrong. I think it's when I have to flip it that it ends up looking like scrambled egg.

I don't have that much happening this week. However I am going to Viva (cheesy club) on Saturday with Michael and some friends so that will be nice. I don't go out much. The reason isn't because I am boring and don't like alcohol/dancing/etc...I love it all. It's all down to the anxiety I feel when it comes to going home. I don't know if it stems from childhood but I get real nervous coming back home late at night. Even with Michael I feel scared and to whoever is reading this, you may be thinking "You're 25, grow up!" but it is just a phobia I have never been able to shake off.

So my night tonight will consist of watching Harold and Kumar with Michael (watch them if like gross out comedy like me!), eating pasta and trying to beat Michael's high score in Bejewelled (2 million).  Below is the rest of the Q&A I started the other day....:)

What do you do when you are not studying/working?

I finish work between half 3 and 4 most days and then I am free! It is real nice finishing before the rush hour starts. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on the internet reading about random things (Wikipedia features greatly), reading blogs, doing my essays and on the odd occasion when I am not really tired I sometimes make cakes! Michael and I often watch a boxset or a film, we are watching Two and a Half Men right now. Michael always makes my dinner so I normally use that time to do my work, do work for school or prepare stuff. I also watch a lot of TV...I am a real couch potato!

What are your 3 best and worst characteristics?

Best: Caring-I'll always look out for family and friends and try and be there for them and like to think I have a nice caring nature.
Loyal: I never bitch and I will always be loyal to people.
Sensitive: Not always a good point but I am a real sensitive soul and a true romantic.

Worst: Forgetful-I forget everything-usually where I have put something and I takes me ages to find it. It can be a pain in the bum.
Over-emotional: I take things to heart and I can be a real drama queen sometimes. Not as bad as I used to be though :p
Impatient: I hate waiting for anything, end of.

Best and worst time in your life?
Worst: Losing my Nan and Grandad in 2000 and 2004
Best: Meeting Michael (cheese) and also my graduation was very special.


Do you like to travel and where have you been?

YES! I am not brave enough yet to try out long distance flights but I have been to a lot of places in the UK and in terms of going abroad I have been to Lille, Paris, Marrakesh,  Lake Garda, Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon...have I forgotton somewhere?

Fashion or beauty tip you can share?

I have a few. 1) I almost always buy a size up from what I really am. Especially in tops-it makes people think clothes are loose on me and doesn't cling to my tummy! 2) When I put on eyeliner, I always put on a little grey eyeshadow on top to smudge it! Maybe I'll do a beauty/fashion tips post one day?


What height are you and what do you weigh?


Cheeky bugger! I am 5 foot 4 and weigh about 9 stone 7lbs. About 8 stone of that is chocolate cake.
