After much consideration and many failed attempts at pursuing the blogging life, I have decided to give it another go. For the past three days, I have contemplated the numerous blogging platforms available, and reconsidered the ones I have used previously. Such as, Blogger and Wordpress. This time, (as is more than likely obvious, I am trying Weebly) it seems that I can edit blog posts, much more easily on an Android tablet with it. So i'm hoping, I'll be more likely to actually blog things, because of this. Fingers crossed. Alternatively, I may also, post similar content at rambleandtea on blogspot, depending on how I find the ability to share content across various social media accounts. However at the moment, I am going to try this and only this. Despite the fact the i started at least 3 test blogs, with the name RambleandTea, looking for a theme, a home, a design that I could work with.
There are a number of other things I want to do this year. I don't want to call them resolutions. Because calling them resolutions seems to admit that they are faddy little ideas, that I have no intention of fulfilling, or actually achieving. I've never really been a resolution type person anyway.
But there are some disgusting habits I want to break.
For example, the one that drives my partner loopy. It's actually really as gross as he says. I take nail biting to an extreme and disturbing level. I go beyond nail. I go to the skin surrounding nail. I peel. I pick. I chew. I gnaw. I gnash and my fingers until they are bloody raw stubs of stingy nastiness. It is actually rather unattractive. I want to not do this anymore. I enjoy doing it I suppose, the way people like to chew gum, or smoke cigarettes, although I'm not really sure what I get out of it. So yesterday, I purchased some little white cotton gloves - they look a little Mickey Mousey - to try and help with my little habit breaking goal. I read somewhere, that it takes 30 days or something similar to break a habit, so I figure, wearing the little white gloves during the times in which I know I gnaw on my fingers like a junkie, will help. Here's a picture, of my left hand currently, this is actually quite good for me.
The times in which I gnaw constantly, which often results in bloodiness, is whilst watching television, reading, while writing essays, as well as during general periods of idleness. I do it in lectures. I do it in class. In the cinema, at home, at other homes, on the bus, on any form of public transport really. I leave little trails of the skin i pick of my fingers all over the place, everywhere. I AM GROSS. I am doing it to the little finger on my right hand, right now, whilst re-reading these sentences. you know just picking at the already rough edged skin with another finger. I almost also just started chewing the skin on my left thumb. I thought I could take the white gloves off to type this out, but I should not have. The white cotton Mickey Mouse gloves are back on.
I wonder if that's why some Disney characters actually wear the little white gloves? Because they are chronic finger eating weirdos like me? Weird, gross kids we are Mickey.
Other things I want to achieve and resume are : that whole fitness thing I did during first session last year, I got all strong and fit, I want to get back into that, and keep doing it. I want to look good in skinny jeans. Not like a walrus in spandex.
I want to read more books than I did last year. I am disappointed by the lack of books I read last year. Not that I didn't read a lot last year, I just didn't read many non university related things.
It's hard to type in these white cotton gloves. I keep making a lot of typos, and having to rewrite sections of text.
I also want to excel in my postgraduate degree. I graduated from a Bachelor of Arts last year, majoring in both English Literatures and Modern History. This year, I will be doing a Diploma of Education - Secondary, mainly because I am insane. I hated high school, so naturally a career as a high school teacher was my greatest idea yet. But that's another story, for another time.
So really, that's only 3 things I want to achieve or strive for this year.
And finally, to end this post, on a not so grubby note, below, is a list of all the films I want to see this year.
Note To Self : work on a nicer ending/tagline

So really, that's only 3 things I want to achieve or strive for this year.
- kick the grubby finger eating gross habit
- maintain the old fitness - easier said than done
- give this year my best effort - because it's actually really very important, if I want to be a good teacher
