Out of curiosity, I have been going back through my iTunes records and looking at what songs I played at different times to get me through the last 5 years of university study.
Here's what I've learned about my music taste:
- I don't appear to like one form of music more than others.
- I have the music genre of indie music to thank for keeping me sane during study and assignment work, as well as helping me get to sleep at night.
- I started out with a lot of 90s pop music on there, courtesy of the girl I lived next to in a hall of residence in first year who said it was "unbearably sad" that I had come to university with no music on my laptop and so (admittedly illegally) gave me all her iTunes songs and also loaned me some CDs to copy any songs that took my fancy.
- I cannot escape good songs like "Living on a Prayer" or John Farnham's "Two Strong Hearts" or "Your the Voice". They always seem to have a place in my music taste no matter the year or season.
- I can't listen to Owl City without wanting to do some kind of art. Hopefully listening to some Owl City over this summer break will help me get back into drawing (or at least completing some of the many incomplete ones I have tucked away in various places).

Oh, 2023 is here already?!?
Wow, I can’t believe how long it’s been! I’m at an odd interval in my life where I feel both young and old at the same time… Actually, in many ways I have grown up living with this notion, but my figurative age is now formally in the “adult childhood” age of life 😅 I bought a house more than 5 years ago, have a senior role at work, am a director at a local charity, and try to balance those responsibilities around precious time with family and friends. I don’t usually do New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve given a lot out over the years (thanks, pandemic!) and have neglected my art. I’m sad to have not produced art of quality I would be proud of, so I’m going to go back to basics and make time for fun art. I may not post anything on here, but I have been using my evenings for cross-stitch and painting. My phone camera folder is also full of animal photos, so no worries about that changing! Anyway, if anyone is still following and reads this, I hope you are well. Try to live your best life, a kind life that minimises harm wherever you go. 💛
This Next Life
So I got my dream job, and in my home city, and straight out of university. It turns out the graduate programme I got into is actually ranked number one in the country – I actually had no idea, I just went for this one as my first choice because it is in my home city and is one of only two places in the country that offer the specialty I’ve wanted to get into for the longest time. I’ve been there for a few months now, and I love it. Don’t get me wrong, it is HARD, some days more than others. But working with children with cancer feels like the life work I have been steered towards from a young age. And I am going to ge
Hogwarts House
It was so long ago that I took the Pottermore sorting quiz, and I was curious as to how Ravenclaw I really am. So I took the full quiz complete with the proportions of the other Houses I fit.
Sweetness, I have more Gryffindor than I thought I would!
I am very happy with my House order: Ravenclaw, then Gryffindor, then Hufflepuff, then Slytherin.
So far everyone else in my family is Ravenclaw except for my dad, who is Gryffindor. My Slytherin boyfriend is a little disappointed but apparently not surprised at how little Slytherin there is in me!
Here is a version of the full Hogwarts House Sorting quiz that you can take without being on Pot
Devious Journal Entry
Lately I've been worried that I don't talk to people here on dA enough, or leave comments to let them know I have been following their art and journal entries. Because I do view the art and read the journals of my friends, followers, and other people I follow. But I just don't know what to say. I want to sound appreciative and intelligent and NOT cliched. And I also have this thing where I feel the need to wait for someone else to start talking to me before I talk to them. I guess I don't want to annoy them, so I've always been the kind of person to wait until they say something before I say something. I don't like to intrude or put my presen

I only really use Itunes for my ipod, mostly I make playlists on youtube, although I try to theme them somehow so that the switchover between tunes isnt too harsh..
