Stumblings

Sorry for the long gap between me posting again. I would make up a bunch of excuses but in reality i just forget. How bad is that! I've been in North Wales and have had family friends over for a weekend so i have been "sort of" busy.
Here's just a collection of images that i've found while stumbling around the internet. I hope you enjoy!
This is cleverbot (the one typing in blue) She's pretty fun to talk to. She saves responses from people who have spoken to her and uses these to respond to others so seems pretty intelligent. However i have noticed that she doesn't take the whole conversation into context, just the previous sentence. But still fun non-the-less!
This meme makes me giggle. But it's so true! Some girls will happily prance around in their bikinis and not care who sees but is horrified if anyone catches her in her underwear. What's the big difference really? Apart from maybe a thong!
This image makes me giggle. Especially top left. He just looks so angry in comparison to all the others!
I would be that happy when i got post, apart from the fact that it's normally just bank statements and student finance letters. If anyone sent me a letter i would be over the moon! My dad, knower of all things, says that paper and fountain pen sales have been rising slowly over the past few years as more people love the feeling of sending and receiving hand written mail. Cute.
Continuing with the theme of modern times being LAME! haha. The thing about the present is that because of the internet we can find thousands of useless facts and information that really are pointless and everyone is nostalgic for "simpler times". They want children to play in the streets without worrying about pedophiles or being kid-napped. Apparently those times were safer. I think every generation has this attitude. I bet out great-grandparents were nostalgic for their childhood times. But kidnappings and pedophilia hasn't risen, it's just more widely publicized due to the media accepting that it does occur. And all the technology we now have has led us to create machines which can save lives and cleverbot! We can also travel more! I like the future.
Anyway, moving on. I appologise for that ramble. Hipster glasses! I've mentioned before that hipsters must hate that being hipster is in style right now. But charity shops must be loving it! these glasses are so cute! Those with a nice mustache would look so adorable. Never know she may have one in her etsy shop. She's got an owl!
Speaking of mustaches. you didn't think i was going to have a blog post without cupcakes did you? I love the variety of mustaches on the guys with hats!
Can't have a cucake without a good cup of tea in a super cute mug. I seriously want a kiln now, you have no idea! I love that the squirrels body is indented into the mug while it's tail acts as the handle. It doesn't even need to be colourful because the detail in the design makes it stand out already.
Just like a can't have a post without cupcakes i can't have one without owls. You can now buy this kawaii t-shirt from lolmart. Go on buy one. I know you want to. RLY!
This image concludes my post for today. It's made by Suzy from Folk Art Papercuts. I love how intricate her designs are. If i ever wanted to make one I'd need a sharper scalpel knife because I'm pretty sure mine would just tear through the card. But i may still give it a go.

Hope you're having a lovely week so far!

Y U NO understand memes?

So i realized that i haven't had a post with memes in it for a while. So here are a few to entertain you. There's also i new one I've found.
This is the new one. That blue face with a mustache; liar face. Wish that happened in real life. Like Pinocchio but better!
Y U NO! Is one of my favourites. Hopefully the title of this blog post demonstrates that well enough.
So many faces all in one meme! I love it so much. And it includes Dr. Seuss. So a future primary school teacher that appeals to me immensely!
Oh the joys of windows. i wish i had a mac, because windows really is a bit sucky sometimes! But i don't want to give in to apple!
It's a hipster within a hipster! Everyone knows it cool t o be a hipster now, which must really piss off original hipsters!

Moving on to things which i just think are cool.
Yup, it's a smoke detector that looks like a bird. When there's only a small threat it chirps at you. But when there's a major threat it screams "dee dee dee" over and over at a very high decibel. Want.

And now some pictures of things from my life.

It was my birthday. I am now twenty. That rose on my slice of brownie is a rice paper rose which was given to me at the Chinese restaurant we had our meal it. I saved it. Then nomed it with chocolate!
And these are all my birthday cards! It's not obvious that i really like owls and cupcakes is it? Yeah thought not.
Somehow, and i really don't know how, we started to run out of cake at my house. I only just baked a lot of yummy treats! So i made this one. It's a red velvet cake decorated like a traditional Victoria sponge. It's so soft and moist and amazingly yummy. Which is something coming from me because i don't normally like sponge cakes!
This is a double rainbow. Just thought i'd show it to you. Because it's pretty and colourful!
Remember i said my brother bought me a kawaii ice-cube tray. Well this is it. There's a bear, panda, cat, chick, dog, and monkey. They're so squee!
He's in my baileys right now. Melting away. I love his little curly tail!

That's all for today. Hope you've had a lovely past week!

This blog post is in dedication to Jiraiya, The cutest white tree frog i knew. RIP
*nom nom* Cricket!

Lemonade and hedgehogs

Firstly i have to start by apologizing for not posting in a while. I've been super busy with finishing university and moving all my stuff back home, going to Glastonbury, finding a flat for next year and sorting out student finance. Crazy i know.
Anyway i have lots of lovely things for you to look at. Hope you enjoy.
I thought i'd start with one thing which combines my three favourite things, Owls, cupcakes and Kawaii! These woodland cupcakes by Sugar Che are just too adorable not to share with the world.
Now i always knew that owls were smart but i'd never thought that an owl could Marry me before. I want an owl at my wedding. If anyone tells me it's impossible i won't believe them because now i've seen a picture of it, it must be true...... Right?
Anyway i want to try mango lemonade, it nearly sounds as good as pink lemonade.
This is just something i found after googling lemonade and owls. I really hope that those owls are lolly pops. Would make it just that much sweeter!
She's got the right idea, well maybe not. Eating just a lemon doesn't sound like the tastiest thing in the world. Make it into lemonade my dear!
This is the picture which started my quest for pictures incorporating owls and lemonade today. There is both pink and traditional lemonade. But the thing i love most about this photo is the things the lemonade is in! It's a hug glass pitcher (best way to describe it i think?) that has a tap on the bottom! Genius. If anyone knows where i can find one of these let me know!
I think you can buy just the tap from the website noted in the photo above. So i'm assuming they've filled the empty watermelon with yummy juice. It's a brilliant idea. If that is what they've done. I don't actually know.... i'm just guessing.


Right now to switch the topic onto hedgehogs. It had to happen eventually.
Maybe it's just me. But i don't think a hedgehog icecream would be the best idea in the world.
Don't listen to him, don't do the dare, please. I don't want anyone getting hurt.
Silly bunny. Don't lick hedgehogs! I guess this blog post was a tad too late for you.
Speaking of icecreams i thought this cake was genius. i'm not sure if it's chocolate icecream or frosting or a combination of the both but i think it's so cute! Especially because the cake is pink!

Right. Now onto the random pictures of things that have caught my eye. Couldn't help myself.
I want to make some of these. I'm assuming that they're just in used matchstick boxes. They look pretty easy to make yourself too i think. I say that now but i bet these would actually take forever. Meh i still want to make a few. Would be a great birthday present for someone, so personal. Or favours at a wedding which is why they were featured on rock'n'roll bride to begin with.
Last but not least. These mustache shaped rubbers (erasers for all you americans) would be perfect for my little brother. He has a slight obsession with mustaches.

Anyway i hope you enjoyed this post. Will write another one in a moment, don't i just spoil you!

Green Mint Baileys

After yesterdays post i was left thinking about mint icecream. I love mint. And then i thought about Baileys.
It's my favourite drink in the entire world. I want some right now. I don't care what time it is. I would even have it on my cereal.
My favourite flavour of all is the mint chocolate one. Obviously.
My boyfriend's favourite dessert is cheesecake and i like making them. It's quick and easy. One day agess ago i stumbled across this recipe from BBC Food.
It's a Baileys cheesecake. I would have to adapt the recipe to use mint chocolate Baileys though i think and have mint chocolate chips in the cookie base. Mmm. I really want to make one now.

Oh also. After updating yesterday all about green tea i went onto The cupcake blog this morning and to my surprise they had so many tea and coffee cupcakes.
Green Tea and Kiwi.
Chai Latte.
Double Mocha.

Maybe it's just me but i found that really weird. Anyway carrying on with the green theme. I haven't had any baby animals on here recently, which is ridiculous. And i don't know how i've managed it. Did you know there are no green mammals in the world. Apart from a sloth. Yes i know sloths aren't naturally green. But algae grows on them which gives them a green hint seeing as they're so slow.
Just check out the baby sloth! so so squee!
Who doesn't like hugs! I love squee little animals and their babies. I want a baby animal!
Want more green things? Okay.
 
Memes can be green. The key two are philosoraptor and bachelor frog i think.
He is literally reading my mind!
I'm pretty sure that they do. I want to know the answer to this. And the answer to the first one. If anyone has any idea please let me know!

Now onto random things that i have seen and liked. They are not green, they are not baileys, they are not mint. They are not related to this post at all. Not in the slightest. Oh well :)
Apparently it's meant for sweets and things and that cake won't actually fit in it. I beg to differ. I will make one. And it will be for individual cake slices.
It keeps your hand from freezing when you have a really cold beverage. Thank you Mr. Shark. I guess you could make one with any animal you want really. Well they have to have a pretty big mouth. i wouldn't use a Bee. You can buy your own on Etsy from user handamade.
Oh he is so fancy! Owls are known for being wise, but i didn't know they were this posh.

Last but not least i found a website. It is called wordle. And i really want to make one, but for some reason it won't work for me. Let me know if you have any luck!
