Socially Unacceptable Sneezes

So I’m staying at my grandma’s house while my parents are away on their third honeymoon...

Anyways I found this rubix cube in the cupboard and I was like ah, my friend was trying to teach me how to do this the other week! I’ll give this a go! It’s friggin hard. It is so hard. I didn’t think about how hard it would be when I picked it up. I picked this up at around half of eleven, and I still haven’t done it, I’m so close though.. I’m just so scared of doing any more to it in case I screw something up again, because I’ve come this close about 3 times and in the last moves that it shows on the internet I’ve screwed it up. But I’m seeing my friend how knows how to do it tomorrow and I’m going to just had it to him and be like, ‘please help me?’ Never, ever try to do a rubix cube unless you have about a good 6 hours to do it because I am definitely never doing that again. Ever.

So I was on break the other day at work, and there is a considerable limit of space in the restaurant so I had to sit opposite of this woman, and I don’t want to judge but she gave me the dirtiest look I have ever seen. It was a real, who do you think you are to sit in my presence kind of look, and I’m going to be honest it made me dislike her a little bit. But then she did something that I couldn’t forgive her for. She sneezed.

Now usually when people sneeze I’m the first to say bless you. Even if I don’t know who it is because they’re not by me I will still say bless you because I find it quite amusing that this person will just hear this voice and not know where it came from. Usually me saying bless you is met with a really weird look, and or an awkward silence. But I still do it anyways because it’s just nice and polite and common courtesy. But this woman had already annoyed me a little bit so I… I didn’t say it..

As soon as I made the decision not to say it I felt so guilty. So guilty! It was the same feeling that I get when I accidentally step on a ladybug. I felt awful, so awful that I immediately wanted to say it but too much time had already passed since the sneeze and it just would have sounded weird. Plus, about 10 seconds after she sneezed, she blessed herself sarcastically. “Bless me.” Which made me feel even worse because usually I’m the first to say it. And usually it’s unexpected, but because this woman didn’t expect it and I didn’t say it… it’s the one time someone actually wanted it, and wouldn’t give me a weird look and I didn’t say it. I carried that guilt with me for the rest of the day.

Now, yesterday was an exception, and it’s a mistake I won’t be making again because I always say bless you, and I will continue to say it to people. But whenever I’ve said it before, it’s always met with a look. It’s a look that shouldn’t be given when someone’s being nice and said bless you. It’s a look that should be given when you’re handed a dead puppy. Saying bless you is a nice thing to do when someone sneezes and it should be met with a thank you. But somehow it’s weird when you say it to someone that you don’t know. So I was just wondering when this happened yesterday, when it became socially unacceptable to say bless you to strangers. Kind of made me a little bit sad as well.

Fairy Fails - Would you date a Disney prince?

I am a massive Disney fan. I've been to Disneyland, seen all of the movies, and I'm in love with Prince Aladdin. But, the other day I started thinking about Disney men, and what they would be like if they were real guys in real life. I can safely say that I wouldn't date any of them.

Prince Charming from Cinderella is the guy that gets totally wasted at the party, tells you he loves you, but then can't remember what you look like the next morning.
Aladdin and Pinocchio would be compulsive liars. "I'm a Prince!" "I'm a real man!" ... Would you believe them?
And the beast would have anger issues. On a side note, is it just me that's a little disappointed when the beast turns back into a prince? He looked better as the beast!
Peter Pan constantly has Tinkerbell around. That's like if I started dating a guy, and he's still lived with his ex! That's a little bit weird, no?
Tarzan in real life would be a naturist.
The Princes from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty both like their girls when they're asleep, so they'd be the guys walking around the party spiking everybody's drinks.
Hercules seems to like Pegasus a little more than he likes Meg. Guys who prefer their cars to girls are never the way to go.
Shang from Mulan only likes you if you're one of the guys.
John Smith would always be bringing his friends around to your house and wouldn't leave.
Prince Eric likes his women seen and not heard.
Robin Hood and Flynn Rider would just steal from you.

In the fantasy world, these guys are perfect, but in real life... I'm going to have to say no thanks.

Love is...

So I haven't posted anything in about a week, and I honestly don't have any idea what this post will be about... I think it should be relevant to things that are going on in my life, so I'm going to talk about... love. And I know it sounds cheesy and really ridiculous, but it is relevant. I'm going to try and make it as non-cheesy as I possibly can because there is so much cheese on my blogspot already that maybe it's time for... a little bit less.

I've had some conversations with people recently kinda just about love and what love is to them, because love is different to everybody. People feel it sooner in relationships than others, I mean, people can go years without ever feeling in love with the person that they're with. Personally I'm someone who falls in love quite quickly, because I'm very emotional and I'm very passionate, and as soon as I find someone that I really like and have a lot in common with and want to share experiences with, I suddenly get attached to that person and that just becomes falling in love with them.

But when I look back at the times I've said 'I love you' to someone.. the actual phrase I love you, in hindsight, I have actually said it without meaning it. I've said it because I feel like I love them in that moment, but as soon as that moment's faded, I suddenly realize that why I said has been quite extreme and quite intense and that I didn't actually mean it long term, I just meant it in that moment. That's quite a big thing to admit as well, especially with the people that I've said it to. But then again, I'm sure that people have said it to me and felt exactly the same way as well so.. it works both ways I guess.

I don't know if anyone knows about these, but there used to be these posters around London that said 'Love is...' and then a picture of a man and a woman showing someone's depiction of what love was to them. They were things like, love is giving her the last chocolate in the box, or love is kissing her even when you know others can see. I used to love looking at those posters on the internet because I loved seeing them, and I don't think there was one that I didn't 'awwww' at.

So I thought I would do one of my own. I think that love is being the most 'you' that you can be around him. If someone loves you, they can't expect you to change, they need to love you and who you are when they fall in love with you. I don't think it gets any better than being entirely yourself around someone. Those little bits that you hide from other people, those little secrets from family or other friends, that you don't have that with this person. They know everything, they know all the ins and outs, they know all of your secrets, you can't hide from them. And they always know when something's wrong.

So yeah, that's what I think love is. I don't know, I just thought that this was a relevant subject because I've been meeting a lot of new people recently, I just thought it would be nice to talk about it and also get your views, so write in your comments 'love is...' and then write your idea of love.
