The “D” Word : The one with the ice cream
Anyone who knows me in real life will know this story from when it happened back in 2016, it’s pretty much a favourite tale to dust off every so often during social events.
So settle down, kiddos… here’s the story of the date who ate my ice cream.
I wish he was that cute though…
New Home, New Me, New 2016
Before 2016, I had never lived by myself. It felt like something I could have really done, but never really had the chance (or balls) to.
So on the first of May, I moved out…
 Achievement Unlocked
#ShitGotReal
Déjà vu (noun) The illusion of having previously experienced something actually being encountered for the first time.
Feels very relevant, seeing as I haven’t blogged again for over 2 years! Terribly inconsistent but I have good reasons, honest!!
The “D” Word: Seduction by Awkwardness
So I had a bad date with the help of Dutch, so the best thing to do was Taylor Swift it.
Shake that shit off.
And yes, Taylor Swift is a guilty pleasure and one of my spirit animals. Â Judge me all you want.
The “D” Word: Take a deep breath…
… and it’s time to dive into the single pool to try and catch me a fish. Â Or as other people call it – dating.
I put myself on a dating site, then it’s a case of pulling on a metaphorical pair of waders and find a frog worth kissing. Â Unfortunately, having been in a relationship for a while meant that I was somewhat naive.
So here it is: my first date since the big break-up. Â And it was a doozy…
The “D” Word: Ready to mingle
You’re single and ready to mingle.  You have the flattering sexy dress / outfit, you nailed your make-up, you’re oozing confidence but there’s a hitch:
How do you meet people to date?!
Seriously? Â What do you do?! Â Cover yourself in bacon and stand in the middle of a club to twerk? Â Set up a Wile E. Coyote trap with a decent steak and beer, stooped round the corner holding the other end of the string? Â How was I going to get into the dating scene?!
Kicking the “30” bucket
As I’m hurtling towards the bright, blinding exit light that is my 20’s; I feel like I should be having a meltdown as middle age looms ever closer. Â So I decided to do a thing… it’s called a “kicking the 30 bucket” list which is snappier then :
13 things to do by the time I’m done with being 30 (so by the age of 30 years and 364 days old).
Cue the theme tune!
The “D” word: Dating
I get it a lot…Â Why are you single? Â You’re attractive / funny / smart / etc, how come you’re not married? Â You’d be an awesome wife / mum one day.
“That’s sweet of you to say,” I reply. Â It’s not for a lack of trying, but I must confess finding love is not high on my list of things I must have in my life right now. Â Also this is pretty accurate:
The cutest MGS Snake Box ever… probably?
I made a thing in 2014… a cute thing! Â A chubby MGS Orange Box. How could I not share it with you?
Using the design from the left hand boxes commissioned to be made for the BAFTA Game Awards show in 2014; I adapted the design to make the chubby beanie box.
Starting 2016 afresh
When I started this blog, I had every intention of keeping it up-to-date and interesting. Â But as with most things, life happened.
