Covered in Cats

Hullo, my Pixels!

I hope you're all doing well, and I'm definitely not trying to kill you with the following cuteness in this post - I swear. I don't quite get how some people refuse to like cats. They've always been a big part of my life, but I also really like dogs, too, I've just never owned one before. Cats are so much less hassle to look after as well! I just fancied doing a more personal post by featuring my four little kitty cats, especially as we recently got a new one. Prepare yourselves for the 'awwwhs' which you're sure to say after seeing these photos.

Relax, Refresh and Recuperate

Hullo, my Pixels! You may (or may not) have noticed I've been away from the blogging world for a week or so. This wasn't intentional; I was just a very naughty blogger who didn't schedule enough posts in advance to allow for being so busy during the half-term holidays. Rookie mistake, I know. We went away to my grandad's for a few days and then had to go to a wedding all weekend - neither places had internet! Seeing how I've been so busy lately, I thought it would be pretty obvious to do a post on how I've been chilling out and trying to avoid unnecessary stress.

Blogtober | Facts About Me

Hullo, my Pixels!

I always seem to find it quite difficult to think of 'interesting' facts about myself when I actually need to think of it, so I'll keep it short and do five facts.

Blogtober | Most Embarrassing Moment

Hullo, my Pixels!

I'm sure you're all absolutely dying to know what anecdote of personal embarrassment I'm going to tell in today's Blogtober post. Now I look back on it, what happened was quite funny, but at the time I found it so terrifying. There's probably loads of other, more embarrassing things which have happened to me over the years, but this is the one which has stuck with me and immediately jumps straight to mind.

Blogtober | Things I'm Superstitious About

Hullo, my Pixels!

Now, I'm not a very superstitious person; I don't believe black cats are bad luck, nor do I believe that certain objects can be lucky, but for some reason there's always been one thing I've believed in and done since I was younger, which involves crossing your fingers.

Blogtober | A Letter to my Younger Self

Hullo, my Pixels!

I love writing things like this, as it feels quite therapeutic and helpful in the way that it makes you reconsider what you're doing right or wrong in your life currently. It's ridiculous how much most people change within a year, personality as well as outward appearance, so if you actually sit down and think about all the changes, it seems insane!

Blogtober | Who Would Play Me in a Movie

First Time Tag

Hullo, my Pixels!
Prepare yourselves to read a lot of questions with a lot of answers! I fancied like completing a tag today, something a bit different from my normal stuff. I did intend on completing the 'British Tag', but I swiftly realised I'm a terrible British person as I don't like tea. I came across this tag on Justine's blog where she tagged anyone and everyone to do it, which is what I'm going to do. I'd love for absolutely anyone to complete this tag, as I feel the random questions let your readers find out a little bit more about you as a person!

Blogtober | Favorite Book

Hullo, my Pixels!

Blogtober also seems to be 'Praise Chuck Palahniuk Month' for me. I never realised how many things he's said or done that I really enjoy. I also found out that he's working on a Fight Club comic follow-up to the book, which is extremely exciting for a fan like me.

Blogtober | One Beauty Product You Can't Live Without

Hullo, my Pixels! I don't really wear make up - I've never worn foundation, bronzer, concealer, anything like that, and I barely use any other beauty products, so discovering which product I use the most wasn't too difficult.

Blogtober | Favorite Editing Tools for my Blog

Hullo, my Pixels!
Very late post again today, but I've had such a busy day. Had a meeting at college, as well as a lesson today, got home and 'napped' for TWO HOURS as I just felt so blehhh. Then in the evening I went out with my parents to our local Corn Exchange to go see Omid Djalili, if any of you like him. He was absolutely amazing for a stand up comedian, really puts on a good show, especially as we were in Row D; I'd definitely recommend going to see him if you ever get the chance!

Blogtober | Pet Peeves

Hullo, my Pixels!
I feel like this was a really good prompt to just dispel any held back anger you may have collected during October, because ranting about things people, but not about anyone specific, always seems to lift a weight off of my shoulders. I'm not typically a very moan-y person, but the occasional, contained rant every now and again seem to be quite healthy. Even deciding what the proper way to pronounce 'rant' is can inspire a huge heated debate between people!

Blogtober | Dream Vacation

Hullo, my Pixels!
A rather late post in the day for Blogtober today, been so busy with a-levels today. I knew Blogtober would be a bit difficult to get done early some days, and my scheduling/writing posts in advance soon went out the window!

Blogtober | My Biggest Fear

Blogtober | What Makes Me Happy

Hullo, my Pixels!

Today I had a really good day, so the prompt of happiness seemed too fitting. I made my parents and I dinner tonight, which is a new thing, but they really enjoyed the meal (macaroni and cheese with squash and spinach, if you're wondering) so that put me in a great mood. The photo of the dragonfly is also something I'm extremely proud of, as I think it looks super interesting, and I felt lucky to be able to get such a photo.

Blogtober | Share a Secret About You

Hullo, my Pixels!
I found this prompt a lot more difficult compared to yesterday's Blogtober, and I thought that one was going to be the toughest! I've been sat thinking about this one for about two days now, and then I realised that even though I might not have many personal 'secrets', a lot of things people in person know about me, the blogging world obviously doesn't get to see that side, which suddenly made it a whole lot easier.

Blogtober | I'm An Expert At...

Hullo, my Pixels!

I really struggled with this prompt today, I honestly couldn't think of anything I'm an 'expert' at. I'm good at being good, but that's just silly. Video gaming is where my heart lies; I have over 300 games on my shelves, as well a Steam library of about 70 PC games. I'd class myself as an 'expert', just because I've played different games for so many years of my life, it's difficult to not be atleast above average.

Blogtober | Fall Fashion

Hullo, my Pixels!

I took this photo a while ago, but the berries reminded me so much of Autumn, especially the way they're not just one tone of red; they're all crinkled and bruised. I definitely had to use it for one of the days in Blogtober as it was just too perfect for Autumn.

Blogtober | Favorite Quote and Why

Hullo, my Pixels!

It might seem a bit late, but I've decided to start Blogtober half way through. I was undecided for ages whether to do it or not, but hey, better late than never! In case you're wondering, the 'Day 15' graphic I created is Chuck Palahniuk; most people probably know him as the author of Fight Club. I'm a massive fan of the book as well as the movie, but he's actually the person who created my favorite quote.
