The Scottish Nationalist Party won a majority of seats in Scotland’s parliament. Their leader promised to hold a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom before 2016.
I’ve only got one thing to say about that…
HIGHLANDER!!!
Going to Edinburgh tomorrow!
I leave this dump to go to the most magnificent place in the whole wide world… Manchester, England!!!
I feel guilty because I have to leave my dad (who also really wants to go) behind :’( and I wanted to spent it with him. But instead, I’m spending it with my grandma that I haven’t seen on so many years, but that’s pretty awesome too :)
I think I wasn’t too nervous until today. What if grandma doesn’t like me? What if the TSA steal something outta my bag? What if my 20 something year old cousin (who never had a girlfriend before and recently ‘liked’ a page called I Hate Being Single) starts having feelings for me? O.O
Eh, I’ll just throw a burger at him. All I hope for is to not look like I come from a home filled with garbage, mess, fat lards, idiots, or… well… drugs! I wanna look like I come from a fun, higher class, smart intelligent home……….. Wish that was the truth v.v
But I’m sharing a room with my grandma cause apparently my uncle who lives there (who used to do drugs and is super religious it ain’t even funny oh, and is a total prick) prays late at night in the guest room… so its either share a room with my grandma and have nowhere to jack-off or be woken up every night to some freak praying at my bedside -.-
I know I’m going to have fun, though. I’m going to my most favorite places in the whole world, seeing people I’ve been wanting to see for so many long years, and see where I could live in ten years from now.

Family Mothers Jewelry To Celebrate Motherhood:Mothers jewelry usually consists of the birthstones relating to the mother’s children. It can also contain stones that represent the mother and father as well. Birthstones signify the month in which the family member was born.Representational family jewelry is not something new. The concept goes back as far as the Bible. The High Priest in the temple wore a garment that was decorated by gemstones symbolizing each of the twelve tribes of Israel.Legend has it that the first symbolic jewelry for mother’s consisted of two wedding bands joined together by the birthstones of the sons of the mother. Mother’s rings…
just some of my accessories.
i really like this ring.
England ;)
For hundreds of years the Household Division has been the most public and instantly recognisable section of the British Army.Since their inception all Regiments of the Army have held parades trooping their colours – or flags – for the entire world to see, but it is the seven Regiments of the Household Division whose trooping remains the most famous, and who parade every year to honour the Monarch’s birthday.
The Household Division are the monarch’s personal guard, and have been for almost half a millennium.They can be seen in and around Buckingham Palace and the London surrounds every single day.Though wearing the ceremonial red uniforms of the British Army of bygone days, every member of the Division is also a fighting soldier who spends half his time on parade and the other in combat in deadly zones such as Afghanistan, fighting often at the forefront of the whole Army.
The Division is split into two Brigades, the Foot Guards and the Household Cavalry.The Foot Guards consist of five Regiments, the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards (of which my father was a proud member for many years) Irish Guards and Welsh Guards.The Household Cavalry consists of two Regiments, the Lifeguards and the Blues and Royals.Both these Regiments ride horses on parade and tanks into battle, unlike the Foot Guards who are infantrymen.
To list the histories of each of the seven Regiments in the Division would literally take a volume of books, for to do so would be to detail the history of the British Army itself.For as long as there has been an army the Guards have been at the forefront of the fighting.The oldest of the Regiments, the Lifeguards, was founded in 1658.Between them the seven have as many battle honours as the sum total of some other nation’s entire armies.

Fuji chrome provia 400f is my new favourite photography filter
I love its grain, its texture, its kick to the reds&greens and its contrast - especially for night photography

i had originally bought the [love life] plate from target as a bracelet, but the leather came all undone [cheap/lame/ripoff]. today i resolved to learn macrame stitch and make a new [better/more awesome/handcrafted/personal] creation that would last much [like that would be a challenge] longer.
[yay success and profitable sundays]
