professorsketch replied to your post: too excited for hallowe’en
Kezzi, as a Mexican I find it really awesome that you’re taking inspiration from the candies of my country! How did you come across the sugar skulls?
i’ve seen the candy skull make-up style on deviantart a few times, so i decided to research into it! it looks like such a great festival and a really interesting take on...

too excited for hallowe'en
i’m not going as anything conventional, but i’ll be dressing in some nice gothic-style black lace (hopefully with a ton of silver pendants around my neck, crosses & keys, that kind of thing) and doing elaborate “candy skull” make-up in the style of the mexican day of the dead festival. can’t wait! ♥

finally, warmth!
our house has been feeling really cold and damp, even with the heating on; so today when my housemate’s parents were round they bled our radiators for us and now they actually work! my room is cosy at last. they even bought us a new shower curtain & bath mat, because the old ones were all manky - total generous heroes! ♥

i’ve been a right little nerd and got all my work done already, so this weekend is pretty empty and the weather’s fairly dreary. i’m going to make some more images & art in this free time to share with you all (yay!), and it would be great to have some questions to answer as well! send them to my ask box, or if you want to be anonymous head on over to my formspring. i offer...

the nerds get loose
last night at propaganda was just utter madlibs; i ended up with an absolute ton of my coursemates, dominating the upper floor. shapes were thrown, songs were screamed, jäger was downed. i lost my voice in live lounge and a bunch of us walked the long way home (in the spare flats i brought: so prepared, you can tell i was a boyscout) in the early hours, grabbing cheesy chips from mama’s...

rest in peace, great auntie.
my great auntie doris (classic name, i know) passed away a short while ago at the absolutely brilliant age of one-hundred-and-three. she lived in london, so i didn’t get to see her much; but i remember her being absolutely lovely whenever we visited. she lived through two world wars and received her letter from the queen when she turned one hundred - she must have had the most incredible...

and on the seventh day, kezzi did some colouring...
working hard all week is well worth this rest! i’m technically still doing work because we get marks for colouring our assignment (we all turn into primary school kids with our crayola), but today is the day of chill. le jour de détente. der tag der spass. two-hundred-and-fifty-five pokémon in my soulsilver dex, and counting! ♥
strangah asked: I gotta say, I stopped by your page for the first time in a long time, and I really like your taste in music. <3 So peaceful.

being such a terrible student
in the way that i’m definitely going against our reputation as lazy constant partiers - i’ve already got books out of the library for a bit of light extra reading, and i’m well on top of my assignments! i have thirty major assignments to complete this year, which is a rate of about two per week; so hopefully i can keep this up and still find time to go out for drinkies. c:

i'm sleeping with a sheep
well, this is wales, after all. c;
i’m posting this from my phone because our internet is on the fritz, lying in my big double bed with a cosy hot-water-bottle sheep. the temperatures outside are close to freezing, but i am toasty! i don’t have to get up for nine hours either.. this is total bliss. night night, everyone! ♥

ookathephouka replied to your post: chilly mcnippleson
i am so jealous of your day off ;; i am in at 9:30 most mornings, never later than 10 and I finish at 4 on fridays! 2 every other day though ):
yowchies! that is rather painful >: i do have a fieldtrip to the beach this friday though, so it’s early bedtimes all week!

guys, it’s really cold. blue-lips-and-icicle-fingers cold. i love this time of year; when i’m walking to uni the golden leaves chase me down the avenues, and the breeze blows my hair into my face so that i can’t see, and i walk into peoples’ bins (true story). but it’s lovely; everyone’s got their snuggly things on and we huddle up like penguins when we’re...

I CAN’T STOP WATCHING NOW THAT I’VE STARTED
also, i’m having a yummy weekend at home right now and i’m sat drinking tea out of my favourite old mug, bliss. ♥
on the way back!
we’re cruuuising on the coach, watching england slip by & waiting for the next toilet stop. i cannot wait to have a shower! we’ve just had a last walk and made friends with a baby cow - the rest of the week has consisted of three-course meals, nights at the pub, full english breakfasts, deep shafts and a rather filthy geological feature which has been dubbed “two dykes one...

guys i'm in cornwall
and quite, quite drunk. we’ve just had a quick day of studying igneous crystals & then indulged in an amazing three-course meal, followed by a night in the pub. i’m staying in a really plush youth hostel in bunkbeds with four of my besties (we’re all sat around listening to chilled music at the moment - i’m on the floor because i’m a bit too tiddled to climb onto...

pretty sure i have a rather sizeable crush on...
okay, so he’s old enough to be my dad and he’s completely scruffy - but until you watch black books for several hours like i just have, you simply don’t understand his captivating drunken irish charm. nom.

the dinosaur hunters
i could write an absolutely massively nerdy & detailed account of my dorset fieldtrip, and maybe i will on my student blog - but essentially, it was pure jurassic brilliance! i won’t bore you with the geological details - none of us would ever have imagined we’d reach the “rocks are saweeet!” stage, but we have (we can’t help it; thrusting, intrusive dykes and...

i am back tomorrow evening (yay!), and i won’t have much to do this weekend except recover and do lots of washing - so i’d love some questions to answer in my formspring inbox! it’s an anonymous option if you’d like to say something in confidence or ask for advice - otherwise, you can just ask me random things about myself if you like! c: thanks, guys, and see you all...

what would you like to see more of on my tumblr?
since i’m away right now, i thought i’d give you guys a chance to tell me what you would like to see me post on here; perhaps there’s a particular aspect you enjoy which you want me to post more, or maybe you have a completely new suggestion! if there’s not enough room in the answer field, feel free to send your ideas to my ask box. thanks! ♥
quick updatey while i have signal
the caravan park we are staying at is completely hilarious & brilliant - there’s a jurassic fun centre full of dinosaurs with a pool, bowling alley and sauna! we’ve just spent the day roaming the coast taking super-geological notes and eating chippy chips & ice cream on the beach. so much fun so far! ♥

off to dorset tomorrow!
i have to get up bright and early tomorrow to meet my friends and catch the coach down to dorset for our fieldtrip, so i won’t be online until next weekend! i’ll have to pop some things in the queue so my page doesn’t dry up while i’m gone. c:
i had so many things to do today - pack for the trip, do my washing, take out the bins, read through the field-guide, call my mum,...
