Some random observations recently:

The bookstore will be dead for a couple hours, then a whole bunch of people will come in like 5 minutes before closing. Sometimes they take forever checking out, and you're standing there smiling politely but inside you're like "HURRY UP I'M HUNGRY I WANT TO GO HOME!" haha

Available is NOT pronounced "a-vail-ee-a-ble," which is how dad always says it. I kept thinking it was spelled wrong (I thought it had two I's) when I saw it at restaurants. Thanks dad. :P LOL

My vision, at least in my right eye, is much worse than mom's. I went with her to her eye checkup when I was off on Friday and the assistant (??) lady said mom's vision was -3 and -4 something. She was completely shocked when I told her my right eye was -7! (She was like "already?!?") That's impressive when even people who work for eye doctors are surprised LOL (I love the reactions I get when people try on my glasses.."wow, you are blind!!" Yep :P)

I go through more watches than anyone I've ever known (after a couple or so years the band eventually breaks..I could get a new band, but it's cheaper just getting a new watch lol)

Mark Gatiss' husband (Ian Hallard) played one of the characters in The Worst Journey in the World docudrama (for some reason it took me this long to find that out LOL), and he played in an episode of Sherlock. Cool!

Mark Gatiss is amazing as Mycroft Holmes, and totally swoonworthy LOL:

Guuuuuh he wears the best suits LOL *swoons*

Yumm. He and Sherlock are completely different from one another, and it's hilarious watching them interact with each other haha (in one episode Sherlock went to Buckingham Palace wrapped in just a bed sheet, and Mycroft was just like "seriously?!?" haha). It amuses me how he's usually carrying an umbrella with him :P (hmm, this turned into a Mark Gatiss list LOL)

Today's trivia: The world’s first nuclear reactor was built in a squash court beneath a Chicago football stadium on December 2, 1942

So I get these "must look at Cherry pics" urges lol and last night I was looking on Getty Images and they had pics I've seen before, except they're in good quality AND LOOK WHAT I FOUND


LOOK HE'S WEARING HIS GLASSES!! (I took a screenshot just of him so you can see it better.) I was seriously SO happy when I noticed that LOL, I couldn't believe it! It gives me butterflies!! Usually he took them off for pictures, but I guess he had his hands full with the pony lol. He shouldn't have felt so self-conscious wearing them, he looks great!! And then I FOUND TWO MORE


This is probably the same day as the picture above, and I thought he had been wearing goggles, but they ARE his glasses!! This pic gives me massive butterflies lol, whoa (he's looking at meeee *melts*)


This might also have been the same day, but awwww. He looks so happy and amused watching his horse roll in the snow. <3 <3 He was so awesome <3 (I wish I knew why his glasses fascinate me lol..I am weird :P). So happy!!

Today I read Mark Gatiss (who played Cherry in The Worst Journey in the World docudrama) was in a few episodes of Game of Thrones!!! OMG I'm going to have to watch those scenes again lol. He's also in Sherlock..guess I'll have to check out that show..if Cherry the Second is in it, it must be good ;)

Today someone told me they thought I looked young, but that my eyes looked mature..ummm thanks?? Interesting compliment LOL

Jan. 20th's prompt is "your neighborhood," so I'll have to take that picture when I get back home lol
