That accident.

Yo, llamas!!

So.  Remember when I mentioned that my neighbour reversed into me? Yeah, well.  Guess what?  She is now denying liability (laymen's term: responsibility) and she won't pay for the damage to my car privately.  This means we have to go through our car insurance - goodbye no claims bonus and goodbye voluntary excess, so the cost of my insurance will go up.  Yay.  NOT.

Oh! And did I mention, that the whole of my front bumper is pushed in? No? Well, she's maintaining that there's no damage.  WHICH THERE CLEARLY IS.  My mechanic says that I'm pretty much going to need the whole front of my car replaced.  So, yay.  NOT. Again.

AND she's saying that it's my word against hers because there's no damage to her car and she's been driving longer....  Well, DUH.  SHE reversed into ME.  AND IF SHE HAS DRIVING LONGER, THEN SHE SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR ME TO FINISH REVERSING AND SHE SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, for those of you who know me, it wasn't the Smart car.  I recently bought a new car (two weeks ago).  So it wasn't this one:

Update: The above was first written on 22/08/15.  My neighbour was supposed to give me her insurance details yesterday and she still hasn't.  I AM SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF.  If I don't get her details, then I'm going to be paying out of my own insurance for an accident that is third party fault (her fault).

Rant over.  Thanks for listening (reading) again.

Photo Post!!

What up, llamas?!

I basically thought that I'd upload a bunch of photos today.  Partly because I'm tired and partly because so many things have happened lately.

So here they are.

Malaga crew:

So many birthdays!!

Okay, so only two.  But still.

Not to mention meet ups with other friends as well.

And here is a bonus photo of Raffi.

Told you that some of my posts would be really boring.

P.S.  Look what I ate!!!

Raffi

Hey there, llamas!!

So I promised (did I promise? I can't remember) that I would upload a photo of Raffi so.  Here it is.

This was the best I could get.  He's an energetic bugger.  But I'm in love.  I mean, who needs a boyfriend (ME, I AM SO LONELY) when you've got a puppy.

In other news, someone (the neighbour that lives across from me) reversed into the front of my car AS I WAS REVERSING (HOW?) and now I have to get a quote for some bodywork (not me, the car, my body is gorgeous).  I MEAN SERIOUSLY.  You know when you're trying to save money, and then everything is against you and is cheaper or running out or shit (sorry for the language) like this happens.  That's what's happening for me at the moment.

Also, I guess congratulations are in order for all those llamas who have just got results for their GCSEs. So, WELL DONE LLAMAS!!!!!  I'm proud of you, even if I don't know you personally.  I've been through those, and I know how tough they can be.  I also can't tell you that it's going to get easier. Because it's not.  And I'm sorry about that.  But if you need someone to talk to, get in contact!!

PS.  You know I just said that I'm in love with Raffi? Yeah, no.  He just peed by the TV and right next to the cables. Can anyone say electrocution?

Busy Days!

Hello llamas!!

So, it's been a busy few days in this llama's household.

1) I've got an aunt staying from New Zealand.  Her flight was scheduled to come into Heathrow Airport at 5:50AM in the MORNING and IT WAS EARLY.  It came in at 4:55AM.  I mean, SERIOUSLY?!  AN HOUR EARLY.

She's doing all the touristy things in London so we spent the whole of Monday mapping at booking tickets.  It felt like I was back doing Duke of Edinburgh Award.  EUGH.  Has anyone actually ever enjoyed that?  (Shoutout to the Northwood College crew! - you know what I'm on about.)

2) WE GOT A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks a little like a German Shepard but HE'S NOT, most people (or llamas) have never even heard of his breed (I was going to say species but we've all heard about dogs).  He's gorgeous BUT he has the bladder of a squirrel.  He pees everywhere.   We're still trying to house train him.  We only got him yesterday though, and he's already part of the family.  We're part of his pack and he's now part of this mentally disturbed llama's world.  I feel sorry for him.

This is me.  In a cage.  The dog's cage.  So sorry for this image.  I told you that you might need help after this.

I'll upload a photo of Raffi (that's his name) when it uploads from my phone to the laptop (thanks Apple for the time delay!! NOT).  He might even have his favourite (yes, he already has a favourite) toy with him.  And I will warn you, there may be a cuteness overload.  And no.  You can't have him.  He's mine.  AAAALLLLLLLLL MIIIIINNNNNEEEEEE. *insert evil laughter*

And now you're worried for his safety. Don't be.  I only think like this.  I very rarely act on what the voices tell me to do.  That was a joke.  I promise.

Friends

Hello, my disturbed llamas!!

So today's post (actually I'm writing this at 23:30 on 15th August) is about friends and friendship.

I realised that all of a sudden all my friends would be spreading out and be gone for long periods of time.  And that makes me sad.  Very sad.  I mean, did I get to spend enough time with them?  Was I appreciating them to the level that they deserved? Was it really worth arguing over where to eat lunch that one time?  I JUST DON'T KNOW.  And that worries me.

Without my friends, I probably wouldn't be where I am today.  They keep me grounded and humble, happy and sad and most of the time vaguely annoyed.  But they've supported me and helped me.  And I'm going to miss all of them.  Those friends that are close will still be with me for the important events (e.g. I decided to run 5K and now I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS, HELP ME) and the friends that I no longer talk to will be in my memories ( R.I.P. former friendships), I will grow and so will they.  I guess I just feel a little melancholy.  The group that I found myself belonging to, will now no longer be a group.

A friend of mine had been talking about what she appreciates and is thankful for about our group.  She said that I'm the person that she can be 100% crazy with and not be judged.  I liked that.  A lot.  I'd never realised that she felt like that and it made me proud to be her friend and to be able to give her some support, it also humbled me to think that when she thought of me, she thought about the support I give her in allowing her to be herself.  People have a way of surprising you and I guess, that's kinda part of friendship too.

You feel proud, and humbled, and happy and sad, and everything in between, because that's what friendship is.  All these random emotions with people who just understand YOU and are there to feel those things along with you.

Friendship could be so many things, but that's sort of what friendship is to me.  I don't know.  I just needed to vent. So, thank you Internet friends.

P.S. why don't you let me know your ideas of friendship?

Random Thoughts #1

Hellooooooooo again people of the world!!!

So mum says that blogs aren't really supposed to be posted on more than once in a day BUT this is the demented llama speaking.

This is the first of what I like to call "Shenaya's Get The Thought Out Before She Gives Herself A Headache" but for for the purpose of this blog (The Nanny Diaries, anyone?), we'll just call them "Random Thoughts".

So, why do I break the law of blogging and write two posts in one day?

1) I forgot to say that you should all go and find midnightteablogs and wish her a HUGE happy 18th birthday!!!

2) We (midnightteablogs, Louise, Yasmin, Iman) went to Camden Lock Market today....

WHAT IS THE HYPE ABOUT CEREAL KILLER CAFE?!  I mean sure, you can get a bunch of different cereals from different countries, and you can have different flavour milks, but STILL.  I just don't get it.  Is it just me? (SERIOUSLY PLEASE ANSWER)  I'm not saying that it's an awful place or anything, I just don't understand why you would pay that much for something that small, when you could buy a whole box for not much more...

Admittedly, the decor was right up my alley (coincidentally, Camden is basically a bunch of alleys) with BEDS and old posters, as was the music - old school rock 'n' roll.  I might just have to go there for a nap. And if you know me, that's probably not the best idea.  I'm not the kind of person to wake up feeling refreshed.  I wake up feeling like the Hulk just came out to play (I'm the Hulk).  Yeah.  Also, I snore. LOUDLY.

3) I TRIED TO DYE SOME OF MY HAIR BLUE. It's more green. I like it.  I now look kinda like a mermaid.  If a mermaid had legs.  And was 5'3".  And had only a half head of blue-green hair (the rest in black) (no I don't only have half a head of hair).  And in Disney movies, have you ever seen a mermaid of mixed Asian ethnicity with an English accent?

I think my headache is gone.  Thoughts done.  Goodbye people of the world (not forever - don't worry).

P.S.  I am in no way being paid to give a review or to advertise (Quite seriously, who would pay me for that jumble of words?)

Hiya!!

Hello!!!

You're probably wondering who I am, why I'm talking and what the heck is up with my blog name.  And to be honest, I couldn't tell you much.

Who am I? Well, I'm an annoying, often abrasive 18 year old girl who doesn't really know what's going on.  I'm clueless. Sometimes.  Most times. Pretty much all the time.  BUT apparently I'm funny.  Go figure.  I'm in my second year of college (for those Americans that might actually read this, I'm clarifying that I mean year 13 or last year of sixth form) and studying BTEC Business.  I'm kinda obsessed with food so I'm mostly food motivated (like a llama) and the more you read, the more mentally disturbed I get, so I apologise in advance for any therapeutical and psychological help you may need in future.  I like Marvel but haven't really read any comics - I know, I know, I'm not a true fan - but SUCK IT because I am a fan, I just have different parts of the Marvel Universe that I like.  In all, I'm odd, deal with it or get the F out. I'm not going to deal with people who think I'm awful or whatever, because that compromises my happiness, and I need so sunshine in my life biatches.  I LIVE IN ENGLAND, OKAY?!

Why am I talking? Well, I was inspired by a gorgeous, bubbly friend of mine (midnightteablogs) and you should totally check her out!!! That and I needed a place to randomly put down thoughts and rants and raves and general annoyance with everything.  So in this little pocket of the world wide web, I decided to be myself.  The random, often down right unstable girl that I am. I try to be sane.  I promise.  Admittedly, my friends would not use that word to describe me.  But oh well, what you gonna do abut that?  Life is moving on around me and I'm a year behind all of my friends (it's a long story that will be told at a later date).  So yeah, I needed a place to vent and tell people stuff.  Unfortunately for you lot, that's here.  That's why I'm talking.  WHY AM I STILL TALKING?!

So, by now, you've probably figured out my blog name.  It's kinda self explanatory, amiright?  When I say musings, I mean that I probably won't post that often, but when I do, you'll probably be very entertained (plus a little scared for my health).

So this is me.  Kinda.  Sorta.  I have no idea.

Shenaya xx

P.S. check out paulapacesetter as well, because it's her fault that midnightteablogs got me hooked.
