Woo! Haven't blogged for sooooo long, although this is more of a cry for help than a proper blogpost.
Basically: I have a plain white tshirt and a load of different coloured fabric pens, yet I have no idea what to put on it!
So instead of actually using my brain to think of a design, I'm gonna let you guys do it for me.
I want anything. Like, catchy phrases, funny sayings, weird doodles etc.
You have till the 22nd of May (2 weeks tomorrow) and I'll choose my favourite ^^
I will think of a small prize and update with pics of the tshirt later
UPDATE!!!: The prize is a bag of Hershey's Kisses! We all know how awesome they are. I'll decide an end date to the competition then ^^

I'd like a shot of Bailey's please
So, in apology for my rant yesterday, I give you (drumroll please) :
Bailey!
Isn't she cute? See, I've never been that big on hamsters and guinea pigs etc (well they do seem kinda pointless, don't they?), but she's just so damn cute!
She's about 8 weeks old, is the colour of Baileys and loves her big green hamster wheel and eating while sitting in her food bowl (fun!).
I'm not allowed to hold her yet :( 'cos she has to get used to her new home (in Nick's apartment) but I'm gonna pet her like crazy on the weekend!
More pics for youuuuuu:

Just a quick rant...
I'm trying to avoid rant posts as much as poss., but this is something that's just been irritating me for a while; people who say that psychology isn't a real science.
Whenever I'm introduced to new people, and I tell them that I study psychology, I usually get one of 2 reactions;
1) The comment on about how they'll have to be careful what they say around you, or how they act around you, or some other thing relating to how we must be able to find out all kinds of things about them from say what they ate for breakfast (well, tbf...)
2) They say something like "Oh, that's not a real science." or "Psychologists aren't real doctors"
Wait.
What?
So I study at least 3 hours of statistics, formulas and research methods a week and it's not a science? I have to draw out tables and charts and graphs accurately to display data to show stuff like how alcohol affects anxiety and the fact that antidepressants don't work any different from placebos.
Psychology is used in a lot more stuff than most, like shop layouts, school curriculum, even stuff like dating websites (they just use Cattell's personality factors to find out those of similar personality, come on!). It's not just some wishy-washy thing like "How are you feeling today?" "This painting your child did of him trying to kill you may show some slight anger and issues". There are studies looking at the effect of brain lesions on behaviour. Surely that involves scanning the brain through a machine or slicing bits up? Wait, isn't that kinda like biology? Isn't biology a science?
If I get onto this doctorate course, after the 6 total years of studying biology, social behaviour and bloody statistics, I will decapitate anyone who tells me I'm not a real doctor.
Ok, rant over! Just to make up for making (yet another) rant post, I'm going to write another post tomorrow introducing you to someone called Bailey.
Peace out, hoes! (Luffles <3)

Cecil's New Blog!
So, for a while I've been thinking about having a mainly bellydance blog, to review dvds, shows etc, but I still wanted a blog where I can update friends about the bland goings on in the Seven Seas that is my life.
Ta Da!!!
I'll still be writing my other blog, but as above, that will just be for all my bellydance stuff. So, if you know any one at your uni who dances or is just interested in it in general, please pass it on ^^

p.s- As for the photo...just ignore Dan in the back there ><
First order of business: FIND A SAILOR HAT!
