I have neglected my blog for such a long time

There have been so many things going on in my life that it's been put to one side. My temperamental laptop has finally been replaced and I've decided I need to devote more time for me so I'm going to play catch up on the blog and post some pictures from the last 18 months that I want to share.

It's my blog-o-versary today

This blog is 5 years old today... I'm having a rough day today with a lot of pain so there won't be an inspiring post but I hope to be feeling more human again soon.

Revamped my blog for fall

hope you like the new colour scheme - as summer seems to be over here I thought I'd go for something more subdued and I love fall colours.

New look for my blog....

I was bored with the dragonfly colour scheme and found some fabulous colours / backgrounds to look through. For now I've settled on this one but I might change my mind in a few weeks.

How Old Are You?

Your Body is 34 Years Old

Your body is younger than it should be. Congratulations! You're taking good care of yourself, and it's definitely paying off. Whether it's by accident or by choice, you're living a very healthy lifestyle. Keep it up, and you're likely to live a long, vibrant life.

How Old Is Your Body?

What your cute monster says about you?

What Your Cute Monster Says About You

You're the type of person who stands out in a crowd, even when you're trying to blend in. You are honest in your character and appearance. You don't pretend to be someone else. Your inner demon is sorrow. You tend to get depressed easily. People think you're cute because you're rebellious. Your uniqueness is charming.

The Cute Monster Test

Nerd, Geek or Dork

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Pure Nerd

96 % Nerd, 13% Geek, 43% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.


You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.


The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.


Congratulations!
