I seem to be developing a little bit of an obsession with Etsy. Not only does it make me extremely jealous of the people who are awesome and creative enough to HAND MAKE all of these things, but it also makes me wish I had a unlimited credit card, so I could go on there and buy THEIR ENTIRE SITE. Seriously. Except for the taxidermy section, because that is just weird.

1. Lilac Hair Pins: I don’t usually wear hair pins, since I have such a lot of hair they tend to get lost in it, but these are so CUTE!
2. Quilted Pillow Cover: I kind of want to eat this. It would not match my bedroom in the slightest, but it’s so pretty!
3. Pink Weave Laptop Sleeve: This is something I actually do need. Kind of.
4. Round Kitty: Look at it! It’s so FAT!
5. Mimi the Mermaid: Kind of ugly, kind of beautiful I can’t QUITE decide…
6. Deep Purple Hemp/Cotton Bag: Love purple. Love bags.
7. Feather Headband: It took me awhile to work out whether or not I liked this. In the end I think Brooke got it right when she said that it’d be awesome for going out, but a bit strange for just wearing normally. Even though I totally would!
8. Butterflies: I would TOTALLY use these for scrapbooking! Man I wish I could crochet!
9. Patricia: OMG. *want* Could she be any cuter if she tried! I want a teddy bear!!
10. Personality Type button: Hahah I don’t know how seriously I take the Myers Briggs test, but it’d still be funny to wear one of these!
11. Lap Quilt: I just really liked the colours of this, they’re the same as my bedroom!
12. Glitter Hearts: No clue what I’d do with these, I just think they’re awesome and sparkly!

I don’t like tagging people so I’m not going to single anybody out, but if you’d like to do it please feel free to, and leave me a comment here so I can come and see!

Ok I know I don’t usually do two posts in a day, but this is a kind of important question so I didn’t want to just tack it onto the bottom of my previous post.

I am stuck.

If you were trying to make a list of your Favourite Things (items, not people or hobbies), what would you include?

Yes. This really should be Funny ESOL FRIDAY, but since I FAILed miserably at blogging yesterday, it is Saturday instead.

In short, no, I sadly do not have anything nearly so entertaining as last week’s Hitler Sausage (which you should definitely go and visit if you haven’t already done so), but there are a few amusing annecdotes.

Master 13 (who I think is actually 12, it seems that Korean people calculate their ages slightly different to Western people) likes to draw. During some downtime this week he decided to draw cartoon versions of himself, his sister, me and the manager of the ESOL centre.

Master 13, Miss 15 and I were all very cute, smiley and happy looking. So was the first cartoon version of the manager. The second cartoon was the funny part. He had drawn her as a hideous looking zombie, with firey hair, a great big stick and speech bubble above her head shouting “STUDY!”

Amusingly, the manager is in fact very easy going, talkative and kind, and would NEVER turn into a firey zombie, wave a stick or shout at them to study! Hehehe! Unfortunately he kept his caricatures, so I don’t have a photo to show you, but I thought this situation was still funny enough to be worth mentioning!

For those of you who were wondering, yes, she did see her Zombie-fied self, and seemed to think it was really funny!

61. Do you believe in Hell? No
62. What one thing have you done that most people haven’t? Attended university, which is a sad and scary thought, but it’s true, particularly of women.
63. What is the kindest thing you have ever done? I don’t know! Perhaps you’d have to have to ask people who know me!
64. Are you a patient person? Mostly yes, except when someone is deliberately being slow and frustrating me.
65. What holiday should exist but doesn’t? National Laziness Day
66. What holiday shouldn’t exist but does? All holidays should exist! Any excuse for a day off work!
67. What’s the best joke you ever heard? Not sure, can’t think of (a suitable) one off the top of my head, which might suggest that none of the jokes I have heard recently are very good!
68. Where is the most fun place you have EVER been? Disneyland!
69. Is your hair natural or dyed? Natural, but it’s been dyed before.
70. Do you have any deep dark secrets or are you pretty much up front? Somewhere in between, mostly quite up-front.
71. What is under your bed right now? Nothing!
72. If you were in the Land of Oz would you want to live there or go home? I’d want to go home eventually, but hanging around for awhile first might be kind of cool, particularly if it’s anything like it is in Wicked!.
73. If you drive do you frequently speed? No, although I can see how easy it is to find yourself going faster than you intended to!
74. What is the world’s best song to dance to? Not sure, I don’t dance very much.
75. What song was on the last time you danced with someone? Not for ages.
76. Do you prefer Disney or Warner Brothers? Disney!
77. What is the first animal you would run to see if you went to the zoo? Cuddly ones.
78. Would you consider yourself to be romantic? Somewhat.
79. If the earth stopped rotating would we all fly off? No, I think we’d all be sucked towards the center of the earth as a result of gravity.
80. What is the one thing that you love to do so much that you would make sacrifices to be able to do it? I have been scratching my head over this question for quite some time now, and cannot come up with an answer, so, I’m passing it on to you!

What is the one thing that you love to do so much that you would make sacrifices to be able to do it?
