Just logged in to Tumblr for the first time in over a year and all of my favourite tumblr people are still being awesome. I like that. I like that a lot.

I’ve been using tumblr for many months now, and I only just realised that if you click the top right corner of a post in the dashboard, it takes you to the actual post.
Every time I’ve wanted to go to the actual post, I’ve clicked the person’s name and attempted to find it manually.

I didn’t read any tumblr posts for a few days (internet problems) then when I started reading them again, I had loads to catch up on. Problem was, you people post faster than I can read, and at one point I was on page 200-and-something. Christmas seems to slow you people down though, and I finally caught up.
I’m strangely proud of myself.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won’t you kill me
so I die happy.
I was listening to that song when I read this. Mary is psychic. Also, your mom.

“It’s too late for the government to train me to be a weapon. For someone to approach me on the street, and to tell me I match a certain profile. I probably won’t even learn another language well enough to speak it fluently. Giant crazed attack dogs won’t ever suddenly act like scared puppies when they see me. I won’t ever be a grandmaster of chess, either. I don’t think at this stage I can even reasonably expect to make Expert. There are some things I regret as I get older, I guess. There are a ton of traditional ways to be bad-ass, and I missed the boat. But that’s okay. It just means I have to be more creative. And then later that creativity will make people think I was an evil genius, instead of just so desperate for a world with monsters that I didn’t mind becoming one myself. What I’m saying is - I stole an ice cream cone yesterday from the 7-11 and I have no regrets at all.”

I'm not neglecting tumblr
I just have nothing interesting to say.
Stole these from somewhere, forgot where
Random thoughts from 25-35 year olds:
- I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell
my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves
me.
-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you’re wrong.
-I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to
have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
-That’s enough, Nickelback.
-I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know”
feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose
not to be friends with?
-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t
work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically
fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all
know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards
or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
-There is a great need for sarcasm font.
-Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first
saw it.
-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually
becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting
90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s
laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little
bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the
only one who really, really gets it.
-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than
take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
- I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die.
-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to
finish a text.
- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the
spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
- LOL has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.
- Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”,
all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
- How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod
and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up
to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and
said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
i nstinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the
person died.
- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.
-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.
-I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
- Bad decisions make good stories
-Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their
profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got
the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if
I do!
- Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring
would probably just be completely invisible.
-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go
around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly
nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be
a problem….
-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.
-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t
want to have to restart my collection.
-There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are
going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
-I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I
swear I did not make any changes to.
- “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people
watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will
they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t
watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and
leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone
and run away?
- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not
seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
-When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she
hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light
internet stalking.
-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle,
then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising
speed for pedophiles…
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,
but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
-Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still
not know what time it is.
-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
-I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
answer when they call.
-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the
Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze
button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time
every time…
-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would
happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
-It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and
the link takes me to a video instead of text.
-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they
drive behind obeys the speed limit.
-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
Today was good.
Really.
For some reason every little detail about today has been brilliant. From the timing of the weather to the poofiness of my hair. This is unusual for me (I apologise in advance for the whining), nothing ever goes right for me.
I knew something had to go wrong, nobody gets a day this perfect. Then I got a letter from a college that I applied for (read my last post). They gave me the usual rubbish saying thank you for attending the interview and stuff, then said that I didn’t get in. I knew I hadn’t gotten in anyway, not down to intelligence (I’m a genius), but other random factors. It was the course that I least wanted to do anyway, so I really don’t mind being turned down, in fact I’m quite glad.
Seriously, universe, you’ll have to do better than that to spoil my day.
Wait, I probably shouldn’t say that right before I go to visit someone in hospital.
Update: The universe wasn’t pleased with my comments about it’s work. Now I can’t go to see my little niece in hospital. Well played universe, well played.
It Starts With A Smile.
myrm:
When I was 12, I was walking down the block to catch the bus to school. Something in my thoughts made me smile as some old lady walked by.
OL: “Was that for me?”
M: “Excuse me?”
OL: “That smile, was it for me?”
M: “Oh. No, I don’t know you. It was something in my head.”
OL: “Oh. Well, you have a beautiful smile. Keep smiling.”Stranger. Danger.
Anyhow, this post is for you, random stranger old lady. You taught me that a smile can brighten up someone’s day.
I need advice.
I have 2 choices.
1. A definite place in a college that is an hour and a half away (means 3 hours travelling every day), where I get paid only £30 a week with a chance of getting a job that I’m not particularly interested in afterwards.
2. Wait and see if I get onto a training course that I applied for, only 15 people are being chosen, then 3 of those people will get a job at the end of the course. The job is the absolute perfect job for me, there is nothing that I would rather do in the whole world, I get paid more while on the course, and if I get the job I get even more money. It’s also only one bus away from where I live.
So basically, take the safe option or go for the riskier option that may have an awesome outcome?

Welcome
(I did consider giving this post the title ‘Hello, world!’, but that stopped being funny about 10 years ago.)
I guess I should put an introduction or something here.
I’ll keep this short. I am Trinity. I am a geek. I am not a talented writer, so this tumblr may not be interesting, but I’ll try.
— I’ll have a better theme up eventually, just give me some time to sort it out
