My Allergies!

So now that spring has officially awaken and summer is just around the corner, my allergies have started again.

I have a variety of allergies (to mostly none deadly things). For example... General pollen allergies (trees, flowers, grass, basically anything outdoors),

Animals (Cats, Dogs... Not sure if I'm allergic to anymore), Dust (so basically all indoor areas... Do you see the irony?) and finally Penicillin (a medicine)! I'm not sure why I have so many allergies.

This means that I'm constantly coughing, sneezing and basically ripping my eyes out. Sometimes people ask what I'm allergic to, and when I'm lazy, I just say I'm allergic to life! I mean indoors, outdoors... Where do I go?

A few years back, I got to school with absolutely red eyes because I had been scratching them so much. Even though we had an exam that morning, my teacher looked at me and just sent me home right away... No hesitations. (Did I maybe find an advantage to this?)

But really, it's awful. My allergies sometimes even effect not only spring and summer, but also fall. And well during winter in Canada, I obviously get ill a few times or something like that. I'm basically sick all year.

And if you're wondering, yes, I take a pill every morning to help with the allergies, but it doesn't work miracles. The only other option would be to get a vaccine EVERY week! That's not going to happen! I'm not afraid of needles... But there is no way I'm doing that!

Do you have allergies? If you do, please let me know in the comments!

I've Had a Cough For 3 Weeks

So, I've had a cough for roughly 3 weeks now...

The first week of this nightmare, I had a horrid cough! I sounded like a dying goose.

Then after a week I still had a sore throat, but I could tell it was getting a bit better.

And I bet you can imagine how annoyed I was after realizing that two weeks had gone by and my throat was still in pain.

I think it's now been over 3 weeks and it's still no better. I mean of course, it's better than my original first week, but it's just as bad as when I was healing.

I went from sounding like a dying goose the first week, to just sounding a bit like a sheep while I was healing, and oh no... Now I sound like a goat, my cough came back.

I had a dance recital at school (it was awful), and right when the curtain opened I my throat started to tickle... During the ENTIRE dance, I had to cough. And I'm not sure if any of you have ever tried to hold in a cough and dance at the same time. As soon as the light turned off I ran as fast as I could off stage so I could cough, although the crowd probably still heard me. Oops...

Another group was dancing and I was just sitting off stage, desperately trying to stop coughing, when all of a sudden I coughed and the music stopped. You know how some songs have moments where they're kind of paused and nothing is playing, not for long, just usually a couple seconds. Well, I managed to cough right then. I felt really bad.

I absolutely hate being sick, especially when school is just 4 days from being over!

When will this end? Do I have a vocal problem of some kind? I REALLY hope not!

*cough*

Ya... Ok bye!

I'm Left Handed...

I'm pretty sure only 15% of the population is left handed... And most are guys.

Of course I'm left handed... Because it's the most inconvenient thing for life in general. Everything was originally created to fit right handed people. So I guess, life is harder to adapt to.

Now every left handed person will relate to this because we are a family! We all have to deal with this. And to be honest, I do think it's extremely annoying and hard to work with, especially at school, but really isn't as bad as people portray it to be.

I mean YES your hand will basically be covered in ink or pencil at the end of the day, but I've somehow managed to avoid the horror. Not sure how though, it just doesn't happen as much anymore. But I mean spiral notepads and binders are just hell... No lefty can avoid that!

On another note, I draw... A lot, and in art class, we were supposed to make a drawing full of symbols that basically represent you! Which of course was a lot of fun to create, but then she announced we had to do it in pastel. Literally the enemy of any left OR right handed! You can imagine my hand was completely full of this ridiculously greasy medium.

 

For the rest of the day my hand felt sticky and disgusting!

And although a lot of things about being left handed sucks, I think it's different and unique, therefore kinda cool.

Are you left handed? Are you part of the fam? Let me know in the comments!

Hurting Myself by Mistake

Now this may sound strange, but I feel like I'm always hurting myself by mistake...

Not major things, just enough for me to think it hurts.

For example, when I stub my toe or bump into a desk. I don't know if I'm only one who constantly bumps into desks at school...?

I swear, I'm so unlucky when it comes to certain things!

My visual art class has metal tables... Yes. And about half a metre from the floor, there is a metal bar... that is, in my opinion, quite sharp. We all sit on stools, so our calves are at the height of these bars. And I don't know what it is, but I always seem to hit my leg on it. And it hurts.

It does this sort of rattle sound when you hit it and it's so loud! And because it's visual art and, of course, it is extremely silent, everyone looks at you!

But because it isn't enough, I always have to move in some other way and hit my leg AGAIN! Never just once, always twice! Just a couple seconds apart.

And to be honest, I've realized that whenever I'm in class, surrounded by a group of people I know... Or strangers, I try to make it as unnoticeable as possible. But whenever I'm alone, stubbing my toe isn't just "stub my toe and walk away", it's stub my toe and make the biggest deal out of it!

Because, of course, when you're alone, you have to make everything as exaggerated as possible.

Do you hurt yourself by mistake? Please let me know!

My Obsession

So although I have my own problems to worry about and things I should probably pay more attention too, like school… I can get pretty obsessed over little things or people.

And when I say people, I don’t mean celebrities (as in actors or musicians) I mean mostly youtubers.

When I really like something, I tend to get a little too obsessed…

In just one week, I ended up watching over 24 hours of just ONE youtuber’s content.

Now you may be wondering if a youtuber even has 24 hours worth of videos… and in most cases, YES!

I watched this entire youtubers main channel videos, second channel videos, gaming channel videos, collaborations and A LOT of live shows that are usually over 1 hour long.

When I found out that this youtuber did live shows, I immediately downloaded the app and created an account.

My life revolves around these idols. They’re my inspiration! They make me happy.

I love how unlike actors, they are real people and not people playing characters. I also love that they are very relatable and easier to actually meet or get to know.

I think it’s insane to look at how far they’ve come since the day they started as just regular beings that probably weren’t expecting any fame to come out of it. Some have made such a big impact.

I really hope that YouTube will still be a “thing” for many years and that someday I can inspire someone as much as they have inspired me.

Admit it… you’re just as crazy as me… right?

Being a Perfectionist

We all know everyone is different; everyone has faults or simply just bizarre traits. And mine is by far the fact that I am most definitely a perfectionist.

Every little detail can bother me.

Things like crooked paintings or off centred furniture can sometimes be easily fixed, which I guess isn't too bad, but when I notice things like wooden floors that aren't aligned with the wall or the fact that my bathroom was built slanted... There is absolutely NOTHING I can do!

I can't be the only one to think this way. I can't help the fact that these things bother me.

I am always the first to notice as well.

I'll just be sitting on the couch, when I notice that a picture frame is crooked. I'll get up, change it, sit back down, look at it again, notice it's now tilting the other way, stand back up, change it again... And so on... Until I get it PERFECT!

But that's not all, if I'm playing Sims and I'm adding a window, it HAS TO BE CENTRED! If it isn't, I will change the WHOLE dimensions of the house for it to be.

But then again, this is just one of the many things I have to deal with on a daily basis.

What about you? What do you think?

Why is There Still Snow?

 I wanted to write a quick update post. I was trying to figure out what to write about... I looked out the window and it was SNOWING!

Yes, Canada is a bizarre place.

It is officially spring, yet I can't put my coat or boots away!

Last week I thought to myself; finally! Spring is on its way...

I must have jinxed it :( because the following day, it was -27 degrees C

About a month ago, when I got home from school after having walked a while outside trying my best to avoid the wind... (Which by the way is nearly impossible, I tried walking backwards, but the wind was coming all four directions), I looked in the mirror and all of my mascara had smudged on the top of my lid! I looked like a goof...

Every morning on my way to school, I need to wear my scarf, hat and mitts, (not because I want to, just because frostbite isn't pleasant) and every day, on my way home, I have a bag full of just those things. The temperature is confusing and becomes much warmer throughout the day... This sucks! Carrying a whole lot of fluffy jackets and winter essentials is difficult...

I can't handle the cold wind freeze my finger tips and swirl through my hair creating giant knots!!

And just when you think... Yes the snow is melting! It turns into ice during the next 24 hours!

And the worst it that I KNOW once the snow starts to really melt, it will be a nightmare as well!

Last year around mid March, the snow was melting and while walking back from school a car drove by so close to the pavement, the dirty melted snow slush splashed all of my right side :(

When is spring really coming!?
