What is that song..

Look baby I've fallen hard
I know better and I'm wiser now
I've learnt my lessons and I'm waking up to my senses
 ...
It's alright, It's alright
I'm just fine, I'm just fine
...
*indistinguishable words as voice over guy interrupts this beautiful song* 

I saw this advert Sainsbury's advert about nappies and first babies (I don't really know to be honest..) but the background music is beautiful and I've literally been spending weeks trying to find it! 


(This search may be the death of me... )

Feeling a little vintage/christmassy :)




The Raveonettes ~ Christmas Song
All the lights are coming on now
How i wish that it would snow now
i don't fell like going home now
i wish that i could stay

All the trees are on display now
and its cold now
i don't feel like going home now
i wish that i could stay

i wish that i could walk
i wish that i could walk
you home

All the lights are coming on now
How i wish that it would snow now
i don't fell like going home now
i wish that i could stay

Santa's coming to town
with sequins in his hair
Santa's coming to town
with sequins in his hair

Been. In. My. Head. All. Month. But I kinda like it :)

"Lips of a Sinner..."

yesterday I had a party with all my closest friends. It was a beautiful occasion. We watched 2 different versions of Alice in Wonderland (1999 BBC T.V version and Disney's coloured version) which I loved (yes, I live a hard-core life. Don't judge me..)

Later on I opened my presents and one of my Friend wrote me a poem; about me!
It was beautiful and I love it! That's why I'm posting it here because I wanted you guys to see it too :) The beginning bit is about me, but the rest I'm not sure. I guess it all goes down to personal taste, but I still love it!

Lips of a Sinner
She'll pass you in the street,
Not a second glance,
She's quick on her feet
She won't hear you if you say hello,
She's all plugged in and ready to go,
Chocolate eyes full of fortitude,
She'll probably bump into you,
But she'll say sorry,
She's clumsy, not rude.
She'll be gone in a flash,
But you won't forget her.
You can't forget a face like that.
She had the eyes of a priest
But the lips of a sinner,
Her cheeks were rouged
Her eyes were a glimmer
But if you were to look into them,
They are not from this world.
Far too wise, and noble,
 For a 16 year old girl.
I have a theory,
That she's a lonely goddess
Sent from the heavens,
A human novice.

Wind and Mr.Ug...

I feel like 7 years old again :') Such a beautiful story and ending...

Uncommon Punctuation Marks

I found this on the internet (link at the end of the post) and thought it was quite funny and interesting. Some of these punctuation marks I'm not sure if they're 'actual' punctuation marks or made up. I'm sure they're all real but very uncommon... Well, enjoy :P

1. Dagger
Dagger
Also called an Obelisk. This bad boy (on the left), and its two-headed friend (on the right) the Double Dagger or Diesis, represents a javelin, which is cutting out extraneous stuff from your text. Its primary use through the ages has been to mark out superfluous repetitions in translation, though nowadays it mostly just stands in as a kind of footnote.

2. Caret

Caret
Also called a Wedge, an Up-Arrow, and a Hat, which is cute. The word caret is Latin for "it lacks," which is convenient, because the caret is primarily used to indicate something that's missing from the original text.

3. Solidus

Solidus
Not to be confused with a slash! The Solidus is also called a Shilling Mark (presumably by old British dudes in top hats) and it is at a much steeper angle than a boring old backslash. Back before decimalization took the world by storm, the Solidus was used to set apart different values of currency from each other.

4. Asterism

Asterism
The Asterism has an awesome name, a cool look, and a really lame usage. It's for indicating minor breaks in text. It can also mean "untitled," apparently.

5. Guillemets

Guillemets
Guillemets means "Little Williams," which is interesting but unhelpful. They're named after a 16th Century French printer. Their primary role is in non-English languages that use them as quotation marks.

6. Sheffer Stroke

Sheffer Stroke
Mainly used for Boolean functions and propositional calculus. Truth tables. Stuff like that.

7. Because Sign

Because Sign
This one's so cool. It's like the "Therefore" sign, but upside-down, and it means because.

8. Section Sign

Section Sign
To indicate sections in a text, mostly by lawyers, who are too good for regular punctuation marks. You probably knew this one, but it's cool-looking, so.

9. Exclamation Comma

Exclamation Comma
Just because you're excited about something doesn't mean you have to end the sentence.

10. Question Comma

Question Comma
The interrogative version of its best friend the Exclamation Comma.

11. Interrobang

Interrobang
It's a combo-Exclamation/Question mark, and it's awesome. It is the glorious punctuational equivalent of saying OMGWTF?!

12. Hedera

Hedera
Hedera is Latin for ivy. Why that is relevant here is not very clear at all, but this little glyph was used back in the day to mark paragraph breaks. Seems like it was probably really hard and annoying to draw, but it looks nice.

13. Pilcrow

Pilcrow
This one's also for paragraph breaks. Most people will be familiar with it, though not with the fact that it's called a Pilcrow. It's also referred to as "The Blind P," which sounds like a good name for some hopelessly twee indie band. "Pilcrow" is the Middle English word for "Paragraph." You will never be able to use that fun fact in real life.

14. Snark

Snark
Also called the Percontation Point and the Irony Mark, this one's used to indicate that there's another layer of meaning in a sentence. Usually a sarcastic or ironic one. So it is essentially a tool for smart people to use to make stupid people feel even stupider. Which makes it the best punctuation mark of all.

Raindrops keep fallin'...

My mother just sent me outside. In the rain. To buy some milk I could just get tomorrow -.-
This song was on my head through the journey... and most likely still is now...

"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep fallin'"

Gallifreyan

I’ve only just begun my studies into the language of Gallifreyan, to be honest. I was looking through the various guides that I’ve collected, and decided on something. A four letter word, the symbols of which weren’t too complicated on their own, but together, the image they formed was one of true beauty. As I was drawing this, I could picture it. Picture it in its full meaning, its entirety, in everything it symbolises in the world. And it’s perfect. Pure, utter perfection. I’ll definitely be trying more Gallifreyan, but no word could be as beautiful to observe as this one.
What’s the word, you ask?
Love.
