Why does the internets have to be so shiny?

So, to cut a long and probably very familiar story short, I am suffering from this:

7-Day Meme (2/7)

day 01 | a song
day 02 | a picture
day 03 | a book/ebook/fanfic
day 04 | a site
day 05 | a youtube clip
day 06 | a quote
day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy

I'm posting two. It's my journal. Try and stop me.

The first is my newly favouritest picture by my friend ol' [livejournal.com profile] purpleface . The colours are so complimentary, the image so simple, and yet so full of meaning too. It's just a picture of a pair of shoes on some turf but it feels like it'll mean something different to everyone. And the finish (excuse my ignorance of photograpy) is just beautifully dreamy. To me, it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz.

The second picture is the one that really gave me a kick in the butt about doing something with my life. I guess it's a picture of a quote more than an actual picture, but it affected me all the same. I've already posted it, but no reason not to post again, eh?

I wonder what it will make you feel?

VOLUNTEERING:

Work experience previously extended to remembering how everyone in the office took their tea but charity Vinspired is helping change that image by helping 16 to 25-year-olds find the perfect placement to inspire them, improve communities and increase their career prospects.

'In these financially challenging times, it has never been more important for young job-seekers to stand out and be noticed by employers, and it is equally important for businesses to ensure they recognise the desire for self-improvement,' says Dragons' Den star James Caan, just one of the scheme's high-profile backers.

Vinspired.com - Why did nobody tell me about this?? I'm so excited, there are opportunities for everything and these things aren't even inconveniently far away! It's a little late in the summer, but it's something anyway! Woohoo!

Sounds like it could be good if it works out. And one of those "It's so simple! Why did no-one think of this before?" sort of things, like seatbelt adaptors and soap on a rope.

Secondly, I've been catching up on my comments. Sorry if y'all got your email spammed.

XKCD has got it dead on today. This is exactly why I shouldn't ever be an adult. It's just something I'm not capable of yet. My thoughts at these times tend to end up being about how shoes work, or the last time I made a ruler go, "Brrrrrrrrrrr."


In other news, the rents are back from their holiday thing, and something smells guuuuurrrd. Like, Sunday Roast-good. Funny that, since it's Sunday.

Just been looking at this website, and it's amazing what you learn. You wouldda thought all graffitti was kinda mindless right? Just a cool way of spelling your name, or a promo for the DJ or something.

But it's not. Have a look at Pictures of Walls. It's a pretty and beautifully simple site, with lots to look at. Enjoy.
