Back with a blast

Well howdy folks!

I am coming to you as a student no longer. Very exciting. I have handed in my second Masters thesis, and I’m looking forward to a fun filled dapper summer!

I have a job as a tutor in a university so I have been able to legitimately breakout my bowtie collection and take great joy in slicking and styling my hair… See?

So I’m trying to think about where my style is going, and how to change up my style to take into account it getting warmer. Well, I am based in Ireland, so ‘warmer’ is a bit subjective for me!!!

Let me know of any subjects or topics you guys would like to see me cover. I’m hoping to get back to a more regular posting schedule. So some ideas would be great! (Yes I am that cheeky!!!)

Later peeps!

Sunday Tune

Alrighty guys,

I am just over one week before I hand in my thesis, and I have had the week from hell. My best friends oldest son, aged 6 years old, was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, and never came out of sedation. He died within 2 days of the diagnosis. We are all still coming to terms with it, he was one of my favourite ever people. This week, he should have celebrated his 7th birthday by going to the zoo.

It feels so strange, but life goes on and I still have a thesis to hand in in 9 days time.

But I want to dedicate this weeks Sunday Tune to him. This is not a song I love, but it will forever remind me of him because I taught him the chorus just so he could annoy his parents. We used to sing it together, and I’ll really miss that.

Taking a bit of a break…

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to do a quick shout out to those of you who have recently started following my blog- great to see you! It’s very exciting when new people start following, because I suppose it let’s me know that the stuff I’m writing about is an issue for other folks too.

But I also wanted to let all of you guys know that I’m going to be taking a bit of a break from the blog for the next month or so. For those of you who don’t know, I’m just finishing up a Masters thesis in intellectual disability research, which is due at the end of April. I’ll be using up all my writing brain for that, so I’ve decided to lay off the longer posts here until I’m finished.

But I will be updating my Tumblr with images and quotes that take my fancy, and don’t forget you can also follow me on Pinterest- I have a number of style boards there that you guys might be interested in. Eventually I’ll probably get around to setting up a Facebook page and all that jazz but first things first- THESIS!

‘Til May- stay dapper, peeps!

Tumblr!

I caved. I have a tumblr.

I don’t understand it.

I have no idea how to use it.

I feel old.

But I shall BATTLE ON!

It’s going to (hopefully) be filled with some more visual stuff than the blog here, although they’ll work together. I just know there’s a load of tumblogs (is that what they’re called?) that I’d like to reblog easily (like FuckYeahQueerPomps, etc.) so I decided to get on the bandwagon. Anywho, com eon over and join the party!

Stay dapper folks!
