Procrastinating
pro·cras·ti·nate
A big problem of mine. In all areas of my life. Need to buy something? I'll buy it tomorrow. Need to study something? I'll study it later. Need to go somewhere? I'm too tired now. Should go exercising? Ugh, not now, it's too cold/too hot.
Even when it comes to things I enjoy doing I procrastinate. For example, my recipe 'book'. I'm an avid recipe collector and have tons of recipes in my bookmarks that I would like to group in a book-sort-of-thing, but I'm too lazy to do that and I can't seem to find the exact design to do it. Been going on about this for some months now, it sucks, really.
I'm going to try and do something now!

Breathe in, breathe out
It's been so long since I last wrote anything here. I just don't find the will to do it. Also, I don't know what to write about.
Anyway, life carries on, since last time (nearly 2 months ago). University is going alright, I guess. Already had 1 test, and 16 out of 20, is not that bad, actually! I'm happy about that.
Now that it's November, the days not so much, but the nights are really really cold where I live. In portuguese standards anyway. I know that our 10ºC would be lovely for some people, but for me it's already really cold.
To be honest, all this cold makes me think about Christmas. I enjoy Christmas. (well,most of it. I despise the fact that every year I have to deal with a lunch with my most annoyingly retarded cousins) The thing I like the most are the lights, the red, the green, the gold and silver. Christmas decorations make me happy!
And of course, lets not forget the Home Alone films! Those are a Christmas must-see!
I've been thinking about doing this blog a daily thing, but I don't really know if I have the will to do it. My biggest problem is that I don't know what to post here, and then when I post is just incoherent rambling like this. Me talking to myself (but I'm already used to it!).
One thing I've been enjoying lately is Fanfiction. I don't know why, but since I found it I've been hooked to it. I love reading, and reading original stories about my favorite books is awesome! My most favorite Fanfiction themes are Harry Potter, Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Love love love some things I found. Absolute gems and amazing to read. I'll post here some finds one day!

Back to life
Now that the holidays are over it's time to get back to university. Finally.
Hopefully this year will be better and more productive than the last year, which wasn't so good.
First year is always the worst, right?
I'm so happy to be back for numerous reasons. Mainly because I truly enjoy living here, but also, because being able to mind my own business without having to give explanations to anyone and do what I want, it's very liberating.
This couple of months of holidays were truly suffocating.
Every good thing always has a bad side. I'd say that in this case there are two downsides to all this.
First, the fact I will miss my family. I'll be seeing them every other weekend but it's not the same, and sometimes I can feel really lonely without having them around. But, they are always a phone call away!
The second, is that I grew attached to someone ,over the summer, with whom I can only talk to online, and considering my lack of time for everything in general, I don't know how often we will be able to talk, and when we do, for how long.

Now, it's time to go out.

Insomnia
This past few days I've been struggeling with falling asleep. I'm not sleepy, I'm not tired, and I don't feel any need to go sleep although I know I must to go.
It's 5.43 am as I am writing this and I don't know what is wrong with me. Is it my bio clock that is totally screwed up? Is it anxiety? Stubbornness? I have no idea, I just know it gets more and more frustrating every night.
I know I won't be able to fall asleep until the sun rises, and it sucks. I feel like I'm wasting my life and the remaining days of my holidays, and I feel hopeless.
I've been considering getting sleeping pills but I don't want to get into that, I want to be able to simply fall asleep without something forcing me to.
For now, I'm just going to try. Close my eyes, forget the rest of the world and fall into my wild dreams.
But, before doing that, I'm going to listen to this. It always calms me down.
Goodnight (morning)
No, I can't feel that, but I can feel hope that one day I'll be able to feel that.
Your mind
I want to enter your mind and understand how you feel.
Or, well, you could just freaking tell me. But that's not happening anytime soon.

Bad day
Bad days can be bad for several reasons.
Bad weather, bad mood, bad company.
This time it was bad weather for me. My first day of Summer holidays at the beach, and it was extremely windy and rather cold.
But, not only good things come to an end, bad things do too. I hope that tomorrow will be a better day in every way possible.
Also, I hope that you'd tell me what you want out of this. I'm tired of wondering.
Summer Break
Starting today, untill the end of August, it's Summer Holidays!
(aka beach + friends + great times)
(aka beach + friends + great times)
Sadly I'm not in the best mood. It saddens me to know that, a person I deeply care about and know to be in great pain, does not appreciate my efforts neither wants my help.
It sucks to know what a person feels through their Twitter account, because they won't tell you a thing...
Anyway!!
I carry your heart
"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet ) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)"

Silly Old Bear
This.
This right here is the reason why I absolutely adore Disney so much.
Whoever knows me, knows that I am a huge Winnie The Pooh fan, I have ever been.
But, the moment I laid my eyes on this preciousness ,when it came out, I just started adoring it even more.
This song.
And this bear.
They both together make the most wonderful, heart-warming film trailer I have ever seen in my life.
I could not stop my eyes from getting filled with tears the first time I watched it. Brings back so many childhood memories I had once forgotten.
"Is this the place we used to love
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?"
Yes, it is.
I was born too late
In my opinion, this is one of the best videos on Youtube. Everytime I watch it/listen to it, gives me goosebumps. So fucking awesome. I'd give anything to have been in that concert.
Freddie Mercury will ALWAYS be a legend.
Smile
"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"
Nat King Cole - ''Smile''
No animal is unhappy
I think I could go back and live as an animal. No animal is unhappy, no animal is blinded by the greed to possess everything, no animal kneels down to one another, nor for the ones that lived thousand years ago.
No animal is miserable or respectable in the whole wide world.
