Someone get out the defribulator cos I'm about to pass out.
I discovered today that Ben Barnes was quite the competent vocalist. It was a shock to my system I can tell you.
Excuse me whilst I recover from this - he's just - disgustingly perfect.
This morning (before this great shock) I sat in bed for a while looking at a book about the Solar System. I like the heavens. So glorious and unreachable yet we are still a part of them. My favourite part of the book is about star constellations. It tells you where the constellations can be found in the night sky and how to find them and also the story behind it.
Most of the stars were named by Ancient Greeks or Romans or whatever, so loads of them have a huge epic story to go along with the sheer beauty.
Anyway, my new favourite constellation is Cygnus the Swan. At first I noticed it because it was one of the few groups of stars that actually looked like what it was supposed to be (no matter how much I love Ursa Major I can never see how in heaven it resembles a great bear). It was from this that I discovered the story behind the stars - it's totally sweet!
So there was this really sexy musician guy called Orpheus who was completely in love with his girlfriend Eurydice, but unfortunately on their wedding day she had an accident. In a nutshell, she was chased by a Satyr and fell into a nest of vipers and was bitten on the heel and died from blood poisoning.
Of course Orpheus was devastated about this and decided to go to the Underworld to get her back. He used his pro music skills to calm Hades, King of the Underworld and Persephone the Queen (who Hades isn't married to, he just stole her) and they give dearest Orpheus the chance to have his Eurydice back.
On one condition.
That he doesn't look at her until they are both back on the surface once more.
This is Greek Mythology of course so you can imagine what happens next. The poor Orpheus gets on the the surface first and forgetting that they BOTH have to be out of the underworld he turns around to look at his wife who then disappears to be lost forever.
Orpheus is obviously very sad about this occurrence and refuses to look at another woman for the rest of his life (though mythology does state that he didn't mind looking at young boys, which is disgusting so I just ignore that bit).
Anyway this irritates other women because he is like hot shizz and they all want him badly. So one day loads of women gang up on him and basically scratch him to death. Which is ironic really because as he dies he becomes reunited with his long lost wife once more.
Now, where does the swan come into it?
Well, there is also another ending, which goes like this -
As soon as Orpheus dies his body transforms into a Swan and is placed in the nights sky next to his beloved Lyre (his musical instrument).
I kind of like the second ending best. I'd much rather die and be placed in the heavens with my music than die and go to the underworld and be with my long dead wife.
So yes, that is the story of Cygnus - obviously many translations and interpretations of the story may vary.
Like it?
What else have I been doing today? Well I have been INTENDING to hoover the entire house, but I was totally put off that thought when I discovered that the ipod was no where to be found. It's so hard to hoover when there's no music to drowned out the 'HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' sound.
But I will still do it, because I promised myself I would.
I bought Tangled and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader on DVD a few days ago *guilty*
I love both films, they are lush. They are so lush they lush my socks off and that's a really big feat because my socks are TIGHT.
Did you know that there is a fish called the mahi-mahi from the Coryphaenidae family closely related to the dolphinfish?
I know this because there is a star constellation called the dolphinfish. Sailors used to like seeing it because these particular fish are very friendly and playful and like to jump out of the water (allthough they are actually fish and not even remotely related to the friendly sea mammals we call dolphins). Good Omens and all that shizzle, Sailors are so superstitious.
Ah now my dog has snuggled next to me on the sofa and I don't want to move, what a darling he is.
I really want to watch Killing Bono.
Can't imagine why I want to watch it though *cough*
:D
Have a nice day me gorgeous lovelies,

23
My birthday went well. Technically it was yesterday, but since I've not slept yet I still consider it ongoing.
Had a good day anyway. My mum and dads party went well. It didn't rain really which is lovely, though it was quite breezy. There was a gazebo up over the food and I was really hoping it would blow up and away, because that would just be hilarious.
However, the gazebo stayed firmly on the ground - well, not too firmly, but it stayed there.
My mum and dads friend made me a gorgeous cake -
As you can see, I seem to be very happy about my cake-
Basically, I was generally very happy haha! -
My face feels so greasy now though. It always feels greasy after a long day - like a bag of chips.
Anyway, I would like to use this space to thank every single person who wished me well and blessed me with presents and stuff. You are so glorious I hope you realise this :D People who make other people truly happy are glorious. It's just that simple. And today (and usually every day) you made feel so happy and contented and loved, it's a beautiful thing to know that people care. I hope that people know that I care about them too.
So thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
On a totally different note. How insane was that dude who predicted the end of the world? I didn't look into it that much. I NEVER take 'end of world predictions' seriously.
My faith is a back up to false rumours.
Jesus said that no man would know the 'day or the hour' - therefore, in my belief, any person who claims they do know the date of the end of the world or the return of Christ or whatever is a complete headcase and a liar, because 'no man will know' - DUH
I just find it funny how the prediction was on my birthday. Hilarity.
Lord, it's late! Almost 1am! I've not been up this late for AGES!
I should probably go and sleep. I need to take paracetamol and antihistamines before I hit the sack, because I have a feeling I will sneeze all night if I don't.
Ok, goodnight my happy and joyous beloveds. You know I love you loads!
From Minnie
P.S. A whole new year is ahead of me. 23. What should I do? Where will I go? I have dreams and desires constantly drifting between my ears. The amazing thing is, I've seen these things slowly coming into reality over the past few months and I'm just wondering and waiting for what is around the next corner.
Take my life and make it all that it should be.

Just Keep Swimmminnnnnn
Oh Hai! :D
I've decided I really like owls! Almost as much as I like penguins. I say ALMOST because I don't have owl pyjamas, but I have two pairs of penguin pyjamas, which means I must really like penguins.
I just got home after about three weeks away from home. I was supposed to stay for longer, but it's my mum and dads 25th weddin anniversary next week and they are having a party to celebrate this Saturday so I came back early for that.
Tomorrow is gonna be absolute mayhem preparing for that, fun times ma bro's...f u n times.
I've been a complete idjit today and completely paralysed myself by looking at Ben Barnes pictures on tumblr. He is completely crazy hot, it's ridiculous. I've said this before, but basically the definition of 'Ben Barnes' for me is as follows:
He has the PHHHWOARRR factor
Example of paralysis inducing human -
*smiles widely*
Anyhoo. The past week I've been helping out at a Home Educators conference, which basically means a camp for families who home school. During the day the parents attend seminars and talks about home schooling and parenting and some graduates come and speak about what they are doing now. So of course with all this talking going on someone has to entertain the little ones.
This is where I came into the equation.
50 kids for three hours every morning.
F U N times.
Actually, I really enjoyed some parts of it. Just not the parts where I had no idea what was going on. I like to have some sort of control in a situation - especially when it involves masses of kiddies.
The dialogue that you hear when you are working with children is absolute hilarity.
An example of one of the questions that was put to me -
My favourite child was a little boy called Jeremy who had a German accent, big brown eyes and blonde curly hair and refused to take part in the activities because he wanted to help the teachers. MAJOR ADORBS.
The location of the event was in Mid-Wales. I've not been to Wales for ages so it was nice to wake up to a symphony of bleating sheep every morning. You know, cos the population of sheep in Wales is a whole lot more than humans.
Unfortunately, the food was also really yummy, which meant that I helped myself to double portions quite a lot. Bedtime was late too, but me and my deliciously lovely friend managed to go for a run for one of the nights we were there because we felt very fat.
Before I went to the conference we used to go running every evening before dinner. It was very nice apart from one thing - you know how muscles are supposed to get more tolerant to exercise. Well we found it got harder and harder to run as the days went by - it's like we were getting weaker.
WE ARE SO BACKWARDS!
One evening we decided to change the running to a bit of ice skating. I'd not been skating for like 6 years or something so I was rather wobbly at first, but I did not fall over once and was soon gliding around. I even tried going backwards, but did not quite manage it...my friend is epic at skating backwards LIKE LIGHTNING!
My conclusion was this -
My friend = graceful and beautiful swan
Me = loaf of bread on skates
Next time I go, we shall go skate again and I will learn the backwards thing...I like reverse motion.
Ha! My dog is snoring!
I missed him so much! He's my fluffly scrumple and I am ashamed to say I hurriedly greeted my family so I could cuddle my dog more.
OMO! I'm crazy tired. After all the travelling and late nights and early mornings I probably should get a relatively normal amount of sleep tonight in preparation for tomorrows hecticness!
It's my birthday tomorrow as well XD
I keep forgetting because mum and dads party is completely overshadowing it LOL I don't mind at all though. I am blessed with gorgeous friends who have already started to greet me with well wishing! It's so lovely having people in the future who care! I LOVE YOU LOTS MY DELICIOUS FRIENDS YOU ARE THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND THE BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT OF ALL IS KNOWING YOU ARE ALL OUT THERE!
I SEND CRAZY LOVINS TO YOU ALL! MUAHHHHHHH!

LOVEYOURFACE
I had a great weekend, so relaxing.
(andmanubeatchelseatrolloloololololooooooool)
Couldn't make it to church because its like FAR away...buuut here's the awesome part - they livestream the services now so I watched church while I was sat on the SOFA! It was quite amazing, but then half way through Kevin (my laptop) decided to crash because he isn't very good at handling flashplayers these days.
I got the general idea of what the sermon was about though - LOVE - I love sermons about love because I love to love, but this was about a whole 'nother level of love.
You see Jesus commanded us (Christians) to love one another as He loved us. So you can like nod your head and be like 'Well that's not new because they pretty much had the same love one another rule in the old Jewish law.' BUT WAIT! The old law is all like - treat others as you would like them to treat you.
See the difference? No? Well Jesus said love each other as HE LOVES US! And He loved us more than He loved Himself so therefore - we should love each other MORE than we love ourselves! ITS HORRENDOUSLY hard for me to love someone more than I love myself...I just realised I break this commandment all the time - to hate is so much easier (and weaker) than to love.
I'm gonna work even harder to be like an awesome lover (lmao)
I think I picked up the sermon pretty well, even if Kevin was misbehaving.
Then of course, I went out with my friends for the rest of the day for a nice long walk. Its so weird from inside the house the weather looked FREEZING, but as soon as you walked outside its was like
OOOOO guess what?
IN ONE MONTH I WILL BE ON THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!
asFPILAKJSFOAPSF UAPOSJFLKAS OUFJOAFLKI ASUFOJASLF ASOJFLASFJ
I'm SOOOOO FRIGGEN EXCITED! SEE HOW I'M CAPSING? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I THINK ABOUT THOSE OCEAN WATERS RUSHING OVER MY BODY LIKE SOME SORT OF MAGIC FRESHNESS!
Not to mention baking summer days where the sand gets so hot that you literally cannot stand on it - and if you do try to walk on it barefoot your soles will actually PERISH.
And yet, I still continue to walk on that flaming sand even though every year my feet nearly burn to death.
There is just something delicious about ALMOST frying your feet and then cooling them in the ocean.
I am a very weird person. My friend commented on my weirdness in the car on the way home from work.
Me - 'Do you still love those satsumas (little orange type things)'
Friend - 'Yeah, but not as much because I've not had a very tasty one recently.'
Me - 'Do you like them because they look like Mikey (her boyfriend)?'
Friend - *LOL* 'You what?! I never thought of him like that before.'
Me - 'I'm not saying he does look like one, I just thought maybe you thought they resembled each other.'
....
Friend - 'You are SO weird.'
Friend - 'I love weird people.'
Me - *smiles*
Though actually, I'm not THAT weird - I just don't mind being myself. You know, there are too many people in the world who don't actually accept that they are who they are.
I think life becomes SO much easier when you actually don't have to try and be something. People who are obsessed with trying to be different really get on my nerves.
I feel like slapping them and saying ' THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD, YOU CANNOT GET ANY DIFFERENTER! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE, YOU STUPID IDIOT!'
(yes, I know 'differenter' is not actually a word, but I felt it was appropriate for what I'm trying to say - don't go all grammar nazi on me now! I could take your grammar and make it look like a single-celled organism next to my beasty grammar)
Then of course I remember that I have to love others more than myself, but then again, you can still love someone and know that they are an idiot. I mean I know lots of people who are idiots and I still love them...people probably think the same of me LOLOLOL.
My quilt is like MASSIVE now. One of the girls was like - 'It's a good job your dad is comin' to pick you up 'cos you would NEVER get that on a bus.'
I was just like - *nods* u_u 'IKR'
Well anyway, It's nice that I managed to get a blog in because I really miss doin it. I've been writing in my diary recently to make up for it!
Gonna do a bit of crocheting now!
LOVE YOU MANYS AND LOTS!

I've Been Thinking
Tomorrow I will be travelling a lot again. Luckily the trip is broken up by a stop right in the middle so rather than having to travel on a stinky bus for 5 hours straight. I will be going for 2h and 40 stopping for a nice little break somewhere only goodness knows for 40 mins and then driving for another 1 and half hours...which is not bad - but let me tell you, I will be VEREH happy when I reach my destination.
And I still need to pack..sort of. I just thought I hadn't blogged in a while and I'm not going to have much time to do so in the next month, therefore I should take this opportunity now while I still can!
So, what do I have to tell you about my life?
Well, I'v been doing a lot of thinking recently, because I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. Where am I going? or Where am I meant to be?
I only know one thing - I feel so at ease.
If you know me very well at all you will know that I tend to internally stress.
This means, rather than let my emotions out. I let my worries and anxieties eat away at me on the inside. This in turn makes me feel unwell - I get strange pains in my stomach and stuff and it's just not very nice.
Anyway, these past few months as I've been doing all this thinking it has lead me to meditate on my spiritual side more and more. To be honest, I'm not a very spiritual person - I appear to be more of a walking contradiction. You see, I like science, but I also believe God created the world in 6 days.
If you know anything about science nowadays you will know that it is THE single most horrendously closed minded subject to be taught on this earth.
That is not the type of science I like - the science I like is when amazing people (true scientists) would hear about myths and tried to find if they were fact, where they would discover new things and have open minds about every single possibility.
Did you know the greatest scientists where those who stood up to societies with closed minds and proved them all wrong? They asked questions that were not allowed to be asked.
Did you also know that a huge portion of those men and women believed in God?
I heard a quote by an athiestic scientist once and he said something like 'Someone who believes in God isn't a real scientist.'
I wonder if that person would like to say those same words to Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, Sir Isaac Newton and Gregor Mendel - just to name a few.
Do you know in schools they teach evolution and the big bang theory as truth when actually, there is no proof of that at all?
Did you also know that science can only be called fact if it can be reproduced again for human observation?
That being said - the argument of evolution V creation as possible origins of the universe is kind of invalid.
After all...no one was there to see either happen, neither can be proved - in both cases, its a matter of faith and you must choose what you are going to believe.
Now here is where my logic comes in.
I've never seen an explosion create something - I've also never seen something organic come from something inorganic.
HOWEVER,
I have seen an intelligent human being create great art and design cities and wonderful things - I've also seen that life comes from life.
It's just that simple.
Therefore, I choose to believe that One Omnipotent Being, created the universe and all therein - Creation by a Creator. Life from Life.
and if I believe that then there actually was a witness to creation - God Himself.
And that's is where my comfort comes from.
Knowing that no matter how uncertain I am and no matter how lost I feel, the Person who Created the stars in the sky, the world that I live in and the people that I love - made me for a reason. I look forward to the life He has made for me to live - I know through out my whole being, that everything will be ok. I will find my place in life, I will be fulfilled in everything and Manchester United will win the premier league (cough).
So you could say, I've been finding my spiritual side by studying science - I love being a walking contradiction.
So, food for thought?
Hopefully I can blog a bit while I am away, but if not. I hope you have beautiful days and nights.
Love Min

That being said - the argument of evolution V creation as possible origins of the universe is kind of invalid.
After all...no one was there to see either happen, neither can be proved - in both cases, its a matter of faith and you must choose what you are going to believe.
Now here is where my logic comes in.
I've never seen an explosion create something - I've also never seen something organic come from something inorganic.
HOWEVER,
I have seen an intelligent human being create great art and design cities and wonderful things - I've also seen that life comes from life.
It's just that simple.
Therefore, I choose to believe that One Omnipotent Being, created the universe and all therein - Creation by a Creator. Life from Life.
and if I believe that then there actually was a witness to creation - God Himself.
And that's is where my comfort comes from.
Knowing that no matter how uncertain I am and no matter how lost I feel, the Person who Created the stars in the sky, the world that I live in and the people that I love - made me for a reason. I look forward to the life He has made for me to live - I know through out my whole being, that everything will be ok. I will find my place in life, I will be fulfilled in everything and Manchester United will win the premier league (cough).
So you could say, I've been finding my spiritual side by studying science - I love being a walking contradiction.
So, food for thought?
Hopefully I can blog a bit while I am away, but if not. I hope you have beautiful days and nights.
Love Min
'Come to Me , all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.' Matthew 11: 28-30
