TOO MANY LAUGHS!
Month: February 2013
It’s been awhile since I was able to live tweet some Doctor Who but over the holiday I was able to catch back up on the two that I’ve missed! And now, one of my favorite Tenth Doctor episodes so far: School Reunion!

My Soul is Writing a Book About Me?!?!
Yesterday I spent half an hour freaking out because I published a post and in the margins it said:
Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.
~Marsha Norman
WHAT?!?!?!! My soul is writing a book about me? Why is it doing that? What is it doing that for? Please don’t do that! And I’m really worried about these illustrations ….. I mean, I’m not sure giant talking dog-rabbit things should really feature in an illustration of my life…….. AND WHAT ABOUT THE MONKEYS?!?!?!?! I mean let me tell you, they are some creepy monkeys!
I mean, what would my soul even write in a book about me? I mean, it’s not like it has hands …. or does it? Sort of ghostly, spectral hands ……….. and how are those supposed to type? Honestly ….. I suppose it could dictate, but surely people would run and hide when they saw it coming ……… I’ve got a bad feeling I’m beginning to mix up souls and ghosts …….
What is a soul anyway?
Let us turn to my two must untrustworthy advisors – Google and Wikipedia.

Wikipedia:
The soul, in many mythological, religious, philosophical, and psychological traditions, is the incorporeal and, in many conceptions, immortal essence of a person, living thing, or object.[1] According to some religions (including the Abrahamic religions in most of their forms), souls—or at least immortal souls capable of union with the divine[2]—belong only to human beings. For example, the Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas attributed “soul” (anima) to all organisms but taught that only human souls are immortal.[3] Other religions (most notably Jainism) teach that all biological organisms have souls, and others further still that even non-biological entities (such as rivers and mountains) possess souls. This latter belief is called animism.[4]Anima mundi and the Dharmic Ātman are concepts of a “world soul.”
Soul can function as a synonym for spirit, mind, psyche or self.[5]
Methinks the Google version is simpler 😀
Back to topic – how can a soul write a book? Let alone one about me! I mean according to Google, my soul is me!
I think I have delved to deeply …….. Ooooh Lord of the Rings moment 😉
(You know what they awoke in the dark)
Anyway, I think I just might have given this a bit too much thought …………. Oops 😀
Anyway, my Shine On post is coming, it’s coming! Either later tonight or tomorrow, I promise! Well, allons-y!, revising for Biology SAT :{
Bye!
DFTBA,

The Evils of TALK-TALK
Talk-talk are officially EVIL! Would you like to know the extent of their evil-ness? Would you? Would you? Well tough, I’m going to tell you anyway 😉
It all starts when I get home from school at about 4 ish. I rush in the door, run upstairs, turn m laptop on, and quickly load up all the sites I might want to go on for the next 2 HOURS! It’s like a half hour internet marathon!
And why?
Because at 4:30 pm, EVERY weeknight, the dreaded
‘TALK-TALK BLOCK’
goes up. It is an evil device which decides to stop me going on YouTube, Facebook, games – even WordPress! It sucks all the fun from the internet! If I try to go on them after 4:30, I get a horrible blank screen with the words
Your HomeSafe settings prevent access to this site.
The site you tried to access was detected to contain content that falls into the category Social Networking, which your HomeSafe settings won’t allow.
It is pure EVIL! And if I rty and go on too many things at once in the half hour before the internet is locked in a maximum security prison for two hours, my laptop freezes up, none of it loads and the internet dies! So, dear readers, if I do not post on a specific day, or don’t post until late, or do a really short post, then that is probably why.
As for today, I got home, got my laptop on, pulled up the WordPress ‘new post’ page, and then went and watched Miranda series one, episodes two and three for and hour. It was very good :D. Well, I shall attempt to do the Shine On Award when the internet is let out on bail at 6, so until then,
DFTBA,
Beth
P.S I HATE TALK-TALK! I swear they are trying to ruin my life……..
Random post of random lifeness which, whilst being indubitably correct right and proper in every way is at one and the same time random delusional and unreasonable yet insightful and meaningful, random and simple post
This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

P.S. I have just finished watching Dead Poets Society for the first time and I literally cannot stop crying. It is an AMAZING film and I love it so much! I will share this clip that made me almost cry even before I watched the film! It’s the very last scene of the movie and if you’ve seen it, there will be crying. I think I cried for the last 40 minutes of the film – and that doesn’t usually happen! Anyway, here is the clip:
RIP Steve Almighty
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Rest In Peace Steve Almighty.
approximately 10 days ago, this blog went into mourning for Steve Almighty. Today is his funeral.
I have composed a eulogy using his own words from those moments when he hijacked my blog. How we shall miss him ………..
A Very Stevely Christmas part 2 (alas, now never to have a part three)
This is his eulogy:
Hello, peoples of the blog-o-sphere, I am STEVE ALMIGHTY! As you may already know, I am the Umpa Lumpa that lives on that strange creature Beth’s head. I am not your common and garden Umpa Lumpa, oh no, – I, am a Capillus Umpa Lumpus. Literally, Umpa Lumpa of the hair. I share my abode with The Green Magical Snake, although he doesn’t talk much. I am also
CHIEF HIGH PRESIDENT EMPEROR OF ALL
of the Umpa Lumpas. Cower before me mortals!! However, I shall be merciful, and bless your house with gumdrops. Go forth into the world and bring them to all you meet. The Great God Steve is charitable. Thou art a Disciple of Steve. Gumdrops upon you. Now go forth, and spread the word of Steve.
Friends said:
“Do you think Steve will escape Death?”
“This is all your fault Steve”
“STEEEEEEEEEVE!”
Rest In Peace Steve Almighty. We have had many times, good, bad ……… bad ………..
I shall miss you old friend.
Peoples of the blog-o-sphere, for the last time, I give you,
STEVE ALMIGHTY.
Goodbye Steve.
Beth.

It’s Pancake Day!
It’s Pancake Day! I was going to do what I said I would (to whit. my favourite Llamas With Hats quotes), but then realised I could quote the entirety of all four episodes from memory. I wonder what that says about me ……… in case you forgot, this is Llamas With Hats :D:
<iframe width=”640″ height=”480″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/3-vsynsE8RQ?rel=0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen>
And it’s Pancake Day! And I’m supposed to be doing my R.E homework …… oh well!
Did everyone have pancakes for breakfast/tea/some random point in the space time continumumumumumumumum when it happened to be Pancake Day? I did! They were yummy! Be jealous. Be very jealous …….. 😀
My favourite pancake topping is lemon and sugar – on big thin pancakes that is. On small fat ones I like Nutella 😀 But butter is also nice ………..
If you have no idea, what I’m talking about, say so now. What really? Oh fine, I’ll explain *rollyeyedface* (Which reminds me, why hasn’t anyone come up with a rolly-eyed face – this is a worldwide problem! We need an answer!).
Nutella is chocolate spread, masquerading as healthy stuff with nuts and natural ingredients in. It’s basically chocolate spread. It is DELICIOUS!
As for the big pancake/small pancake thing, we, at least in this small corner of Yorkshire, have both. When asked to choose between them, we say both. When pressed to pick just one, we say “ummmm ………..both”. That is how we do pancakes here. Deal with it. 😉
I LOVE pancakes! I found some very interesting pancakes on t’internet earlier ………..
Andon a rather massive Doctor Who tangent, these 😀
Thanks to Lolly for the SM syndrome pic (I rather think I have caught it ………..)
I love the Dalek one ………..
Anyway, regrettably my homework is calling, so I must depart.
Oh, and I have taken up writing on my hand. I do not know why. At the moment the words ‘click click click click camera’ are on top of ‘the Devonshires held this trench/the Devonshires hold it still’ which is on top of ‘and if it’s ever gonna get any better/it’s gotta get worse for a day’.
So a random mix of songs and stuff ………
Anyway, I must away!
Au revoir!
DFTBA,
Beth.
Oh, and have you heard?
Hehehe …….
