Thoughts and Recreation

@smalltoasts

I'm PJ. I'm 21 and terrified about becoming a fully fledged adult. Talk to me about food, theatre and nice things that people say to one another. Show me pretty pictures and funny videos. I like to laugh until my tongue goes funny. I've recently become obsessed with interior design. Attempting to stay classy- one hurdle at a time. Sometimes I'll write my own ramblings.

The Friendzone

"I think I've been friend-zoned" "Why..? Did he fart in front of you?" "No, but.." "Then it means you're not friend-zoned. Carry on."

do you ever get that pressure building up just at the square of your jawline when you've read a particularly bad piece of writing? a piece of writing so unsubtle that it is the literary equivalent of a neon pink JCB going at full throttle across a field of sheep. a piece of writing that thinks 'why use just one cliche when I can cram in eight?' it hurts to read because it's canny. the words are all familiar but they've been contorted and manipulated into this uncomfortable, contrived sentence. maybe the ache of the jaw is from grinding my teeth. or maybe it's because it feels like I've been smacked in the face with this awful piece of writing. maybe it's because the phrase is so sickly it's making my molars throb. less is more, friends.

thin eyebrows

'i'm not a fan of people with thin eyebrows. it looks like they've made a mistake and then just carried on.'

So it's almost midnight and I can hear my flatmate's bf serenading her on the piano with 'All I ask of you' from The Phantom of the Opera. Adorbs. I'm steadily making my way through a family sized selection of Haribo and wishing a boy would play me something. Anything. Even if it's 'Talk Dirty' from an iPhone.

"Whenever something, anything happens with your ‘giggly crush’ it’s almost always absolutely hysterical- even the bad stuff. But when pretty much the same thing happens with one of your more serious pursuits, it’s like ‘WHYYY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?!’ "

Who needs to take note when apparently there are magical, self-tying bowties.

"Just one click can Save the lives of African children!"

An African child reads this, confused.

She closes the tab, looks around her house in suburban Abuja, and wonders why ads like this can’t be a little bit more specific. Africa is an entire fucking continent after all.

Rolling her eyes, the girl opens up her neopets account, and proceeds to play Ice Cream Machine on Neopets for like an hour.

Space Onion - came up on the Progress resupply spaceship. We sliced it up and had it with everything - nice flavor!

Listen to Top 40 Songs exclusively. Burn your Animal Grizzly Bear Collective crap and turn up Justin Timberlake. Turn it up loud! There’s no shame in the top 40 game. Summer is a light, frilly season. Just like a pop song. There’s no room for moody indie music. (This is coming from someone who ONLY listens to moody indie music.) … Smell like sunscreen all the time. Get one gnarly sunburn. Spend an afternoon walking 90 blocks all by yourself with your headphones blasting. Embrace summer like you would with a lover. Call summer back, give it amazing head. Ride it till it breaks. Have at least one night when you don’t go to bed till 6am. Watch the sun rise from a rooftop in your shorts and tank top, wasted on drinks or just the summer itself. Never get bored. If you’re bored in the summer, you’re doing something wrong. Most importantly, be sublimely happy. You owe it to yourself and the season. You have all the other times to be sad. Just don’t indulge in it when its 80 degrees out and there’s so much going on that could make you happy. Depression is reserved for winter, okay?

My summer Bible (via meadowswoodsmountains) Yes yes yes!!!! 20 days, 2 exams and way too much catch up reading between me and this. <3 meadowswoodsmountains got it bang on.
