So this happened today :D My good mood is back, I've got actual tears in my eyes from laughing, because it's SO absurd :D

Rant

So I need to get it out of my system BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A SHOCK. AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOCK ME THAT EARLY ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING!

THIS IS THE SHADIEST FANDOM I'VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF BELONGING TO!!! WHY PUBLISH THIS KIND OF STORY SO EARLY ON AND CREATE HYSTERIA ON TWITTER AND TUMBLR?!? IT'S ABSURD, NOBODY HAS ACTUALLY CONFIRMED IT (I BET I'LL COME BACK HERE A COUPLE OF HOURS/DAYS LATER, CRYING HOT TEARS AND SAYING IT WAS CONFIRMED) AND IT'S JUST SO CONTROVERSIAL. OH WELL, ONLY TIME WILL TELL I GUESS AND UP UNTIL THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE. I ACTUALLY WANT TO BELIEVE IT'S A DECOY TO GET ATTENTION AWAY FROM ANOTHER THING. THIS IS A F*** SOAP OPERA. AND EVERYBODY HAS A STORY TO TELL THAT THEY'VE KEPT TO THEMSELVES UP TILL NOW AND FEEL THIS IS THE VERY RIGHT TIME TO COME FORWARD WITH IT. AND I WOULDN'T BELIEVE ANY OF IT IF I ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE SORT OF INSIDER INFORMATION ABOUT SOMETHING AS WELL, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING I'M NEVER GOING TO SHARE IT. SO I ACTUALLY MIGHT TEND TO THINK THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THESE STORIES MIGHT HAVE A GRAIN OF TRUTH IN THEM. THIS IS ALL UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.

SO HAVE SOME CHICKEN STUFFED WITH MOZZARELLA WRAPPED IN PARMA HAM WITH A SIDE OF HOMEMADE MASH AND ORGANIC GUACAMOLE AND KEEP CALM.

Rant over. I'll go and do some shopping instead.

Some oldish (not very really) music

Summer lovin'

They might actually be growing up

I still won't act my age. Finland: June 26-July 1

Because it's relevant and for a very short while during McBusted (no idea why then and there) I was so profoundly happy just to be alive.

So yeah, here we go.

I can't even believe I didn't take any pics of Louis and my old phone's camera sucked more than I had imagined. So yeah, no watchable videos either. But there's a lovely clear row of toilets at least. And the Olympic Stadium. And a Harry Styles who is pretty much amazeballs ;) I'm SO genuinely glad on SO many levels that I decided to go, mainly because of the fact I got to know a person I had known for 14 years, but still actually didn't know, not really. She's great :)

Helsinki was beautiful, mostly clear blue sky

and the sea.

We went to Korkeasaari Zoo. Here are some kissing camels for you :) Flamingos might be my new spirit animals (or Jack McQueen). I don't think there were any flamingos at the zoo. Which was a massive disappointment.

Naantali was just so incredibly cute (and the weather was bloody cold).

It's just a ship. I mean, 2 ships, but who's counting.

We went eating out a lot, considering my hate-love relationship with food right now - Finland is a GREAT place to eat out. I wish it was just as easy here, but there's hope things are improving and quite fast, so no reason to facepalm.

Turku and the Aura river.

 I love this photo. There are like ten photos of tens of thousands I have taken over the years that I love. This happens to be one of them. I can tell my mood on a given trip based on the photos, it's weird, but they do reflect my soul and my wellbeing and my everything. From this trip I can actually stand quite a few of them :)))

THIS IS US ;)

this was pretty. video not mine.

This was't necessary by any means, but it was obviously much needed.

Organic apricot is definitely a thing now.

When they sang 18 live for the very first time

I miss London so much it hurts. I saw TT for the first time live at Wembley....

Yes, that song has been my ringtone for months. Call me so that I could listen to it :D :D :D

THIS.IS.IT

Unofficial fad vid for NO CONTROL. It's ridiculous how much I LOVE this song and Louis' voice.

Yes, I am there, somewhere. Among the thousands of folk dancers. If you know where to look. Quite recognisable at 54.10 and 1.26.15 :)

Because Louis' voice is amazing.

Five guys in a car. I haven't been a fan of number 5 lately, but this is good.

 Colours!

My beloved Estonia.

It reminded me of Toronto so much that it was like a punch into the gut - even the weather was as sunny as it was back then and it was also in March. Only about 10 degrees colder here. I miss the high rise buildings...

Reflection.

And an orchid at the botanical gardens.

It was a really nice day :)

Yesterday

Today these feet just hurt. Actually not just the feet. The legs.

Amazing Japan

Harry works the crowds and speaks Japanese, Niall's really focused on being a musician, Liam's checking his phone (lol), Zayn is almost late and Louis saunters to the stage without a care in the world only to find that he has forgotten his microphone backstage. Just an ordinary day in he lives of 1D :D But the stadium, the whole stadium is QUIET and you can hear them sing. It has been the same at every concert in Japan and it's AMAZING. My new life goal might be to go to a concert to Japan where you can actually hear the band sing. Respect to all the Japanese fans.

On a different note - you'd think that from a country as technologically developed as Japan you'd get a lot more high-quality videos from the concerts. But no. Better still, forget the concerts, on the evidence of last night (which actually wasn't a big deal) the Wellington curse is still alive and kicking.

Something relevant from Tumblr for a change

How I say 'I love you' to my friends:

• "Go to sleep, it's late, please."
• "How're you feeling?"
• "Are you all right?"
• "Anything I can do to at least make you feel better?"
• "I'll stay up with you as long as I can, OK?"
• "I'm drawing you something."
• "Please eat something."
• "You're a dork."
• "You're a nerd."
• "I love you."
