What do I do with myself?

'Sup, llamas!!

Howz yooz doin'?  *to be read in a bad New York Bronx accent* (by that I mean my bad accent - I tend to either sound Irish, Scottish or Australian....)

So.  I trust that my follower llamas are all well?  If not, I'm sorry to hear that and please read this because I find that this can help with a lot of situations.....  (I once again turn to my trusty, fellow crazy people from Buzzfeed).

Anyway, title.  Well.  Nothing explicit if that's what you're thinking, my dirty minded little llamas.  I've got no work and I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND.  However, it has given me a chance to binge watch Netflix, do some UCAS stuff and become a chew toy for Raffi.

Let's start with Raffi.  He's getting his adult teeth in (did I mention this before? I can't remember) so he's really, really chewy - add in that he's puppy hyper anyway AAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDD we get injured in the process.

Although, we did take him for a group walk with others of his breed and the breeder we got him from and some of his uncles and he's already nearly as big as them... and he was so excited!! So were we until we got into hour one and a half, we then realised that we weren't even half way - we were told it would be a leisurely amble for about two hours.  It was two and a half hours UP HILL and it was not leisurely.  Or an amble.  I was having flashbacks to Duke of Edinburgh Award... SO MUCH WOODLAND, WHERE IS CIVILISATION?!  Those of you that either went with me on D of E or have heard the stories know my pain.  Oh!! And did I mention that RAFFI IS A PAEDOPHILE.  There were a couple of 9 week old puppies there - Raffi is 18 weeks - and one unfortunate little girl was being humped.  By none other than - you guessed it - Raffi.  Eugh.  He has a thing about small female dogs.  It's becoming a little bit of a problem considering Raffi is now 16.6kg....

Anyway, back to keeping myself occupied.  UCAS.  IT IS SO BLOODY CONFUSING.  I mean really.  It should not be this hard to apply to university.  Just trying to fill in this stupid thing is making me consider going straight into an apprenticeship or work.  I mean, HOW MANY VARIATIONS OF THE SAME QUALIFICATION CAN YOU HAVE?!  I mean.. GCSEs.  Simple, right? WRONG.  Did you know that there are different types of GCSEs and then there are subcategories within categories? Because I didn't.  And you can't just fill in "BTEC" and then the subject and level - nooooOOOOOOooooo, that makes it too easy... let's make people fill in each unit they did or will do and their grades as well.  Thanks, UCAS.  Thanks so much.  I am having so much fun.  Can you tell?

On the plus side, my personal statement is gonna be bangin'.  Did I use that in the right context?  I ain't no roadman, aight?  Okay, I'm stopping now.  I apologise to my follower llamas, especially Shoyab, because I can just see your cringe face in my head.

Soooo....Netflix.  The internet temple for anyone who binge watches shows, likes movies, and is basically too lazy to shower, get out of bed and can fester in their stink for anywhere from two days to a week (okay, I need to clarify that I DO NOT do this, or at least, will not admit to it).  It's also where the term "Netflix and Chill" came from and I can safely say that I have never done that unless sitting alone and chilling with my teddy bear while watching New Girl counts.  No.  I do not try to have whatever you do for the "chill" part with my teddy bear *shudders at the thought of what that means*.

Well, what am I watching on Netflix at the moment?  You see, I have a way of streaming the US Netflix (and other countries) to the UK - specifically to my laptop. I tend to use the US version (or the Canadian version because they had Young Justice and I'm a superhero nerd) just because they have a wider range of series and movies, not only that, but they release stuff earlier on the US Netflix... The only problem being that I can't watch some movies because they're streamed on DVD.  So.  What am I watching at the moment?  Jane The Virgin.  That's what I'm watching.  It's kinda like a mock telenovela.  Probably more for the girls - which I don't usually say when it comes to my TV programmes and movies - but it has some good humour in it and I just have to say to the girls out there... Google "Justin Baldoni" and then look at those abs.  Seriously.  I do not often say that abs are lickable.. BUT.  Oh and did I mention he's a DILF.  Yeah.  So definitely a programme I would recommend.  Oh!! And I mean, if you want some classic science fiction - FIREFLY IS BAE.  I mean, you can't get much better than Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm Reynolds.  Don't judge me.  It's definitely more old school so the CGI and visual effects aren't as good but there's humour, fighting, a little bit of romance and well, aliens.  It's a cult.  Do not mess with the Firefly family.  Seriously.  We have connections.  I think.  Probably.  Maybe.  Just don't mess with us.

I think that's enough of my ramblings for today.  So, stay safe llamas.

Shenaya xx

P.S. if you want US Netflix - on Google Chrome, go to settings, extensions, get more extensions, and then search "Hola" or "Hola Better Internet" and install it.   It's a good site, so don't worry about viruses or anything - yes, you're taking advice from a strange 18 (nearly 19) year old girl (woman) on the internet.
