The Bizarrity of Discovering Inner Peace

Kursed

I feel compelled to write this, because I go back to college tomorrow and that means that things are away to get crazy busy and my time that I can devote to my procrastination is away to diminish quite rapidly.  I’m still trying to work out what I haven’t done for tomorrow.  This may be the last time you hear from me in a while, you’ll all be very glad to know! So there I was thinking ‘I’m going to write in my blog tonight, what could I write about?’, and my usually over-inspired self was remarkably uninspired.  I tossed … Continue reading The Bizarrity of Discovering Inner Peace

When Life Hands You A Drunk Make Conversationade.

Kursed

“My daughter, she’s 45 now. She looks out for me. Well sometimes. Sometimes she looks out for me, you know? My sons though, her brothers, I don’t know anymore. 5 years. They don’t want anything to do with me. Maybe they’re dead but I don’t worry about it anymore. Why bother?” *** Regardless of the fact that I was at the bus station in time for the 4:30 bus today, something held me back. Today I decided to get the later bus, minimise the amount of time I’d sit next to a stranger in traffic. This decision lead to 3 … Continue reading When Life Hands You A Drunk Make Conversationade.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Kursed

Happy Valentine’s Day!  How was your day? Suitably sickening?  Or perhaps it was as tedious as every other year?  Did you get any cards? I never, quelle surprise. I’m not going to lie, it was just another Thursday.  In my life Thursday’s have a reputation of being a little bit terrible ( it’s like that Monday morning feeling all day).  We’re all allowed a bad day once in a while, and today just happened to be my turn again.  Let me impart my new-found wisdom with you: 1.  If you have an injury and you roll onto it in your … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!

140 Syllables Later…

Kursed

Shakespeare wrote over 154 sonnets.  I’ve just written my first sonnet and I’m feeling no need to write another one ever again. A sonnet is a poem, more often than not romantically themed, which is exactly 14 lines long.  Each of these 14 lines has exactly 10 syllables, and works to an ‘abab cdcd efef gg’ rhythm.  Basically, if you never paid attention in your english classes, it means that every other line rhymes except for the last two as sonnets are finished off with a rhyming couplet. So maybe it’s because I don’t like rhyme, maybe it’s because apparently  I really like … Continue reading 140 Syllables Later…

RIP 2012.

Kursed

Tomorrow sees the end of the year it was all going to end.  Was 2012 good to you?  Did it bring all that you hoped and more?  Was it filled with highs and lows?  Was it just another year? I started the year by making a list of 10 things that I wanted to achieve, because I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions.  I mean, if you want to change something, why wait for a specific day, why not just start now? 1.Get into 2nd year with no less than a B in the Graded unit-DONE. 2. Finish Gold Duke … Continue reading RIP 2012.

Apocalypse NOW.

Kursed

I’m not saying that I believe the Mayan’s calendar.  I’m not saying that I think the world is going to end tomorrow. I’m just saying, what if it does? If the world ends tomorrow, 21st of December 2012, I’ll  have spent approximately of  8185 days and 20 hours and 56 minutes on earth.  I guess the day before my imminent death is too late to realise that I never had a bucket list as such, isn’t it?  Take a minute, think about your ‘bucket list’ (a list of things you want to do before you die, if you weren’t sure).  Have you done … Continue reading Apocalypse NOW.

Ghosts Of Kursteh Yet To Come.

Kursed

So this would be part two of my last blog, where I’m writing letters to myself.  This time I’m writing to the me of 2022.   Dear Kirsty, Wow, this is hard.  You’re 32 now I guess…that sounds so old.  I mean, I know it’s not, but it really sounds like it.  I don’t even know what to say.  Are you even reading this?  Are you even still alive?  Did the world end? So how are you?  Do you remember what it feels like just now, in November 2012?  Let me remind you.  It’s not good just now, things aren’t … Continue reading Ghosts Of Kursteh Yet To Come.

Ghosts Of Kursteh Past.

Kursed

Okay, so I saw this WordPress Challenge where in 2 separate blog posts you write 2 letters- one to your past self, and one to your future self, both from your current self- and I thought, ‘why not?’  So I’m afraid you’re away to be subject to at least two more blog posts, whether you like it or not.  Now, the one to your past self, I believe, was meant to be one letter to who you were 10 years ago, but I’ve decided instead to write a series of shorter letters to various past Kirstys. Dear 3 Year Old Kirsty, … Continue reading Ghosts Of Kursteh Past.

London 2012, a la Glasgow.

Kursed

If you don’t know what London 2012 was, I demand to know where you have been for the last 10 years, especially the past 12 months.  I am, of course, talking about the Olympic Games, that every Brit (I can’t talk for the rest of the world unfortunately) was sick to death of hearing about.  You couldn’t go anywhere, or do anything, without being reminded about them, and the closer the games drew the worse that it got.  Remember we’re British, we were only ever destined to mess it up monumentally, especially after Beijing’s amazing performance.  This was our chance … Continue reading London 2012, a la Glasgow.

Change.

Kursed

The joys of the personal statement.  That 42 lines in which you get to tell prospective future educational establishments why they should waste their resources on you over the coming years.  Your chance to tell them why you are a heck of a lot more wonderful/talented/filled with potential than the other couple of hundred students that apply for that same course. This isn’t in my first personal statement, in fact it’s my third, but things have changed a heck of a lot in the 5 years since I started writing my first one.  Not going to lie, back then it … Continue reading Change.
