100 Posts

This is my hundred blog post, WOW. I genuinely did not think I'd keep up with this hobby, let alone write a substantial amount of blog posts. I've been writing on this blog since 2014 but stopped until summer last year so in that short space of time between then and now I think I've done a good amount of work and I'm constantly improving with every post. For me this is kind of a first mile stone in terms of my blog, I'm such a small blog with not a lot of followers but that doesn't bother me and doesn't stop me doing what I enjoy. In saying that, I kind of want to list reasons I love blogging and all the things I enjoy about it. Basically celebrating the great blogging community and online space in general.

• I love being able to write about whatever I want and having my own personal space. It's been so great filling up my spare time writing about things and just basically having a little online journal of celebrated things and places.
• I love writing so being able to write and publish pieces on a regular basis for me is so pleasing, I love knowing people can read and respond to the things I've written rather than keep them in my own head.
• I absolutely love reading other peoples blogs, it's so interesting getting to read what other people have to say and get inside their heads. I love gaining knowledge about new things and products and just constantly stimulating my mind with ideas and creativity.
• I also love engaging with other bloggers and feeling connected. I feel like I don't do this as much as I should but literally all you have to do is message me and we can be best friends. I'm pretty cool I swear.
• I feel like blogging has opened my mind and allowed me to be as creative and constantly inventive by thinking of things to write about and talk about all the time. There's never a dull moment. 
• I also love getting better at writing and photography and blogging in general as I continue on in my blogging journey. It's something I want to keep up for as long as I can and I can't wait to see what it brings me in the future. 

What's everyone's favourite things about blogging?

Someday Summary | 26.10.15

I'm currently sitting in Starbucks and even though it's only 9am I want to write something. I know if the caption is a 'summary' of my day that should entail that it's the end of the day but I guess it doesn't have to be as of now, I'm really good with logic. I just want to write random things and give myself a purpose to be honest.

 

• Since it's almost Halloween, I did the first spooky thing of the year yesterday by carving a pumpkin, probably the only spooky thing I'll do this year. I never do dressing up scary very well but I'm a huge fan of horror films and Halloween in general. I wish Halloween was as big of a festivity as Christmas is, it just gets over looked and it's sad. I do think pumpkin carving is such a cute and fun idea though. It smells a bit pungent but it's okay it looks super cute once you put a candle in it. All my pumpkins end up looking happy not scary, even if I tried.
• I'm currently tracking the Dublin Marathon online and watching where Jack is, sounds super creepy. I think it is pretty scary though how I can see exactly where he is. I'm cheering him on from here,  he'll most likely see this later so hi you're currently on 3.9m at 32:32 whatever that means. Looking at the Marathon map is actually so daunting but I would love to do it sometime, even if I just walk it. I salute all you Marathon runners, go you.  
• I should probably be doing some college work but I'm currently trying to update all my social medias, ie my blog. I have written about my first few weeks of college but whether I post it is another thing, it's a bit of a rant, surprise surprise.
• I had a really good weekend catching up with family and friends and it made me really happy. 
• To add to this half Halloween themed post, I watched the Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time yesterday, and it's really good. I'm always so behind on must see films. I think the actual plot was missing a lot of things but what it's lacking the music makes up for. The fact it's a musical makes the film ten times better. It's my current Halloween soundtrack. 
• In other Halloween film news I went to see Crimson Peak the other day, I actually planned to see Pan but howsoever. It was less creepy and more morbid. It was very gruesome and  my type of horror is more paranormal and supernatural. I think the reason I thought it was good was because Tom Hiddleston was the main character. Either way most horror films are not the best anyway so I don't expect much.

Anyone doing anything nice for Halloween?
