Attack of the UBER MOTH!

As I was performing my nightly ablutions last night, a HUGE moth flew in through the bathroom window. This thing was absolutely MAH-HOOSIVE!! Anyone, who knows me will know that while I am not squeamish I am a total wuss when it comes to bugs or creepy crawlies.

I think that perhaps moths may be able to smell fear, as this one landed right on the wall by the door. Thus blocking my exit and trapping my by the sink. I decided to be patient and delay (at least for a minute) my screaming fit. So, I played it cool hoping the moth would move. The moth lost its nerve and flew to the ceiling at which point I ran out the door shrieking like all the fiends of hell were after me. (Yes, I really am 21. I fully admit to being pathetic).

Every done the Creepy Bug Dance? You know the one, you get the crawling sensation on your skin and precede to shimmy about and brush yourself off with your hands. My Dad was rather bemused by my rendition of the Creepy Bug Dance in the hallway of our house. He looked even more confused when I feebly tried to explain myself. I've a feeling I just gave him future ammunition with which to torment me. Dad finds it funny to chase me or my mum or sister through the house with whatever disgusting insect he has caught. We are all less than impressed by this behaviour, but he is out numbered 3 to 1 so he has to get his own back somehow I suppose.

A get rich quick scheme?

After I finished my finals and moved back home, I went on holiday to Florida with my parents and younger sister.

Whilst on one of my extensive shopping trips I came across a shop called Black Market Minerals, which sells all these jewellery supplies. Including gorgeous crystal pendants and cloisonne beads. My dad jokingly suggested that I buy a load of stuff and make up my own necklaces, then sell them on eBay.

So I did, and I am.

At the moment I have only got one necklace up which I bought pre-made. You can see (and bid for it) here. I apologise for the poor picture quality, I'm new at this stuff.

More original handmade pieces will be going up in the near future, and I will keep you all posted.

Once Upon A Time....

So this is my blog. Amazing what boredom can lead to. Anyway, this is my life. Up here on this magical screen, pretty uninspiring at the moment. But I hope to change all that, with the power of BLOG at my side nothing is unachievable. Right?

I have just graduated from university and I am now job hunting. This is difficult as I really don't know what I want to do, or if I even want to go back and to do postgrad study.

My current employment status is that of lowly checkout girl at a well known supermarket chain. We wear lime green and TV adverts often portray us as patting ourselves on the rear, you get the picture. It is without doubt one of the worst jobs on the planet, and no doubt some of the more bizarre episodes will make it into this hallowed journal. It may be awful but at least I am not unemployed, my debt demons would not allow that.
