Girl crush

Do you know what a girl crush is? no. Well then take a seat and allow me to educate you. Now just to avoid confusion I'd like to stipulate that I don't mean in the usual sense of having a crush on someone, i.e. when you fancy someone or only watch Hawaii Five O because Alex O'loughlin (thats commander Steve McGarett) takes his shirt off in every episode.
Like so but in a way that's totally relevant to the plot (those clever script writers).
sorry  I got a little sidetracked there, now where was I, ah yes a girl crush is an entirely different thing. It's when you think a female celebrity is so very cool that you might like to hang out with them and maybe be friends and not just so you could name drop with all your non famous friends.

so here's mine at the moment, Anna Kendrick. I don't know if you remember but she was in Twilight. Now If we were friends I'd be giving her a hard time about this, it wasn't a good choice, Anna ! but then again it put her name out there getting her roles in movies such as up in the air (with george clooney) and Pitch perfect so maybe it wasn't the worst choice.
Is it normal to see a celebrity and think you could be friends with them ? possibly not but then again I never claimed to be normal. That's for boring people. 
Anyway In Pitch perfect she plays this very cool character who just really doesn't give a shit and she auditions for the college singing group doing an acapella version of a song called 'when i'm gone' and using a paper cup to set the beat. You'll just have to watch it 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSbXsFE3l8 see heres a handy link so you can do just that if you so choose. I'm lovely really. Anyway I just thought it was really cool and while I was a little jealous of her talent. She can sing and act, how is that even fair. Then I saw her being interviewed and she was all self depreciating when she talked about how she learned the cups song and I'm all about self depreciation, we could so be friends or not.

So that's how a girl crush works. I hope you consider yourself better informed now. Just like an actual crush (except my crush on commander Steve McGarrett) I will eventually get bored and move on to someone cooler or more interesting but I'm pretty sure Anna Kendrick will be fine.

Sometimes I open my mouth and my mother comes out ..

Image
I have been told on more than one occasion that I'm sarcastic. Often that I'm too sarcastic (as though there could be such a thing) and I have retort up my sleeve for such occasions which is if you think I'm sarcastic you should meet my mother. No, really you should because my sarcasm is but a pale imitation of hers. Every so often though I come out without something that makes my friends or other family members pause because sometimes when I open my mouth, my mother comes out.  It's funny how people always take the words you are turning into your mother as such an insult because the reality of the matter is it's a both a good and bad thing. Obviously there are certain qualities I am perfectly happy to emulate and others not so much and on the whole I am not entirely sure how much control I have over it. It's not quite a pick and mix counter here. I think there are some habits you are not even aware you have picked up until someone else kindly points it out....

How long does it take to learn to drive?

Image
I remember my nieces a year or so back asking me in an incredulous tone how long it takes to learn to drive because for as long as they could remember I had L plates on my car. The answer in my case is four years. Admittedly I probably could have gotten my full licence sooner if I hadn't been so hesitant to do my test in the three years that have passed since my last attempt. I get very anxious during tests or Interviews and so do not perform particularly well at either. I will put that in my list of things I need to work on in the new year. In time since I have learned to drive I feel I have accomplished a lot and yet I will go out of my way to avoid having to parallel park because I feel like its always going to be my Achilles heel. At least I have come a long way from the days when I used to feel anxious about getting into my car and was likely to bunny hop across roundabouts in third gear. The problem with learning to drive is that the older you do the harder it is and...

Burnout: the sequel

Image
  I am burnt out. Hardly the most shocking declaration given I have been saying it out loud for a while now but here we are. This isn't my first run in with burn out nor will it likely be my last. Not only am I working in a stressful job, a social care worker in residential care, which is no stranger to burn out but also I am autistic so its like I know a secret short cut to getting there. I think as bragging goes this is up there with declaring how many times I have managed to catch covid. Which is 4 at my current count and they say there are no benefits to working in Health care. If you are lucky enough to not have experienced burnout then I can tell you its not an experience I would recommend to a friend. If you have friends working in social care then you probably wont need to.  Some of the things I have been experiencing are random bouts of crying. Given high sensitivity is part of my autism profile, I am no stranger to crying and the first time I experienced burnout it t...
