Having an organising day in my room ! Got some new boxes and another rail with 3 more pots like the one on my wall already ! I don't have a clue where I'm gonna put it but I'm sure I'll find space ! #craft #craftroom #myroom #happy #organise #tidy #tidyingup #ikea #new #fun #love #penpal #snailmail

Getting a little further with my drawing ! It's not fantastic but I like the whole idea of the colourful background and black drawings. I think I'm going to more but use a range of black pens. From thick markers to thin fineliners for more detail and depth. #wip #art #artist #pen #illustrate #instaart #illustrator #illustration #design #designer #create #creative #draw #draws #drawing #happy #paper #background #artwork #new #handdrawn #freehand

I received @princessgluestick UKHM traveling Journal today. I'm not sure if I'm going to get round to doing anything with it as for some reason I've done nothing but sleep,shake and have a migraine today and I'm freezing. I'm not one for being cold but I seriously can't get warm at all =[ I think it might be a sick day today. I really don't want to be going into work and having to come home again =,[ I HATE feeling like this. #travelingjournal #journal #ill #sick #sickday #swapbot #swapping #swap #pink #unwell #sad #journalling #book #notebook #travellingnotebook

Drawing some new stationery. I'm feeling a little on the creative side tonight ! Plus I need more ink for my printer so I'm going to have to use what I've got and hand create some for a while. #penpal #penpalswanted #penpals #new #draw #drawing #stationery #fun #creative #snailmail #snailmailrevolution #penpalrevolution #happymail

My next read ! Going to start this when I get on the bus to work. I've been stood over my books for about 10 mins trying to choose what to read next or re read a book. I narrowed it down to wanting to read something new but my iPad has all my newer books on which isn't charged enough and recently I've been enjoying my physical books more. I'm going to go get my Harry potter books from my mums at the weekend so then I can re read them and see what else I have there. Roll on pay day so then I can get me some new books ! #book #new #newread #read #reading #books #vampire #thedarkheroine #reads #work

Thought of the Day ! This is yesterday's thought on gel pens ! I bought a new packet of pens last week and I was so happy to use them and they where perfect. Until....... 1. I found that when I pulled out the blue pen there was no ink in the pen and. 2. When I had written a letter and had started a second with my black pen that may I add had half of its ink left decided it was going to stop working . I was half way through a beautiful letter and the pen decided ' you know what I've had enough now. ! ' and died ! I find it's only gel pens that do this. #totd #thoughts #thought #thoughtoftgeday #draw #drawing #ink #gelpen #sketch #sketchbook #illustrate #illustrator #illustration

(A gay couple has just met up in the restaurant and kissed each other upon arrival. Another customer has seen this and is obviously angry.)

Angry Customer: “Damn f**s.”

Gay Man: “Excuse me?”

Angry Customer: “You heard me, you little s***. Let’s not make this into some little pride protest, okay? I have to accept that you’re going to live your lifestyle, and you have to accept that I’ve got freedom of speech.”

Gay Man: *quietly* “Is it too much to ask for a little human decency?”

Angry Customer: “Human? Listen up, what you’re doing is not human. I think I have the right to determine what I think is human.”

(The manager shows up. He’s a quiet Italian man who I assume is conservative due to the Christian imagery and portrait of Reagan he keeps around the restaurant.)

Angry Customer: *to the owner* “Hey, can you move either them or us to another table?”

(Instead of responding to the angry customer, the owner instead speaks to his wife.)

Owner: “I’m sorry ma’am, but we have a strict ‘no pets’ policy in my restaurant.”

Wife: “Uh, I, uh, what? I don’t have a—”

Owner: “Well, according to your talking monkey over here, I can determine who’s a human and who’s not. You bring an animal into my restaurant; I gotta assume it’s your pet.”

(The angry customer storms out. When I left, the owner was giving his description, and copies of security camera footage, to the biggest crowd of police I’ve seen. Apparently it’s a bad idea to not pay your bill at a restaurant that gives free coffee to cops.)
