How to low key to feel like a time lord

How to low key to feel like a time lord 

Because self care!

Wear long coats with big pockets. 

Experiment with scarves. 

Remember that everyone matters. 

Be fascinated by strangers. 

I’d recommend keeping a journal

Delve into some world history. Be a researcher. 

Doodle

Explore everything and everywhere. 

Be passionate. 

Don’t care if people are judging. 

Read. 

Chart the stars. 

Consume knowledge at the same rate in you seek it. (Which should be like crazy. Stay curios, babe). 

Tinker with things. Find a problem and then find a solution. Keep those mental gears ever turning. 

Don’t blink. 😉 (but a wink is okay)

Wear Converse if you’re feelin it. 

Remember the most interesting people are a little mad. 

Have you considered a bow tie?

Astronomy will always be cool. 

And chemistry. 

And biology. 

And pretty much any science because science is the appreciation of existing. 

Just feed that ever curios mind of yours. 

Space theories. Educate yourself. 

Remember change is unavoidable and a part of life and should be embraced. but don’t lose yourself. Please don’t lose yourself. No matter how many seasons of “change” you go through, no matter how many regenerations you become, remember what makes you, you. 

You have all of time and space. Where do you want to start?

100 Fears

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

From the list below count how many things you’re afraid of, then see the chart at the bottom.

[] the dark (Confession, I super was when I was little, and even then I knew it was ridiculous but I’d think myself into being scared. Not so much anymore though)
[] staying single forever (I think it would be fine. I could have pasta for breakfast and no one would judge me)
[x] being a parent (maybe a little, but more so the responsibility that comes with it.)
[x] giving birth (the paaaaain. Movies definitely don’t help this fear. And every time you talk to a mother they’re like; “Yah it was horrible I felt like I was dying” so definitely scared of pain. It hurts me.)
[] being myself in front of others (They know I’m weird)
[] open spaces
[x] closed spaces (sort of. Mcdonald’s play places anyone?)
[] heights
[] dogs
[] birds (?)

[] fish (also ?)
[x] spiders (YOU BET. Nothing should have eight legs. Nothing should have eight anything. (sorry families of eight). It also has eight eyes! A double whammy.)
[] flowers or other plants (OH NO IS THAT A BUTTER CUP???)
[] being touched (haha mood some days. But not exactly scared of it)
[] fire
[] deep water
[] snakes
[] silk
[] the ocean
[xxxxxxx] failure (Maaaaaaybeeee a litttlleee)

[] success (How??? Why???)
[] thunder / lightning (No way, thunder and lightning are nature’s fire works.)
[] frogs / toads (ugly but not scared)
[] my boyfriends / girlfriends dad
[] boyfriends / girlfriends mom
[] rats (They’re nasty but I don’t know if I’m scared of them)
[x] jumping from high places (bingo)
[] snow
[] rain (I’m sorry, what? Rain is so relaxing??)
[] wind

[] crossing hanging bridges
[] death (“You cannot kill me in a way that matters”)
[] heaven (wut?)
[] being robbed
[] falling (I think so. You know those drop towers at parks? I went on one once and got sick so never again)
[] clowns (They creepy but I don’t think I’m scared of them. I don’t exactly see how they’re supposed to be funny either?)
[] dolls
[x] large crowds of people (sometimes)
[] men
[] women

[x] having great responsibilities (Oops)
[] doctors, including dentists
[] tornadoes
[] hurricanes
[] incurable diseases
[] sharks
[] Friday the 13th
[] ghosts (Okay, I don’t even believe in ghosts but like every time in the shower and I have soap all over my face & I can’t open my eyes, I can’t help think there could be a demon right in front of my face I wouldn’t know. Like not seriously but occurs to me. Is that weird??)
[] poverty
[] Halloween

[] school
[] trains
[] odd numbers (How does that even work?)
[] even numbers (That’s odd)
[] being alone
[] becoming blind
[] becoming deaf
[] growing up
[] creepy noises in the night
[] bee stings

[x] dying completely alone (but then again, when it comes to death, aren’t we all alone? Can’t take nothing with us)
[x] needles (AHHHHH)
[] blood
[] dinosaurs (But they’re extinct, right? RIGHT???)
[] the welcome mat (uhhhh)
[] high speed
[x] throwing up (I HATE THROWING UP SO MUCH. I mean, nobody loves it, but I mean I super hate it.)
[] falling in love
[] secrets
[] flying in planes

If you get more than 30, you are basically terrified of everything. Chill out, its gonna be okay.

If you get more than 20-30, you are paranoid.

If you get 10-20, you are normal. (HEY! I’m normal!!)

If you get 10 or less, you are fearless.

If you get 0, you are a liar. 😛

Insults to Keep up your Sleeve Part 2

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

Because swearing is boring.

  1. You Cold Corndog

Listen, corndogs are kind of iffy anyway. Especially the oven made ones. They’re especially bad when they’re soggy and the hot dog and the breading seem to be two totally separate entities with the bread sliding off.

2. You Crusty Toothpaste Tube

You can thank my brother for the inspiration on this one. I mean, does it REALLY take that much of your precious 12 year old boy time to put the dumb tooth paste cap back on the tube???

3. You Goblin

For if you’re feeling real whimisical.

5. You Spork

Because sporks are supposed to do two things but in actuality does neither of them at all. Often like my siblings.

6. Cough Syrup

Lovely, simply because its off the wall but obviously insulting.

7. You greasy door handle

You can just feel this one.

8. Haggis

A Scottish dish consisting of a sheep’s or calf’s offal mixed with suet, oatmeal, and seasoning and boiled in a bag, traditionally one made from the animal’s stomach. And the perfect insult for a not so savory individual.

9. You Limp Lettuce

Because the joys of Alliteration.

Quarantine Bucket List Week 2

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

Because me and my friends burned through the previous one super fast.

Quarantine bucket list version 2

You can still complete the tasks on the first list. Besides that, same rules as before! Good luck!

A side note: point value is increasing so if you struggled with the last list you still have a chance. Also, you are welcomed to complete any items on the previous list that you haven’t done. These are just in addition to it. 

Another side note: things are getting harder.

-have a photo shoot complete with props and a pretty background and everything and share your photos (preferably through email as photos take up a lot of storage through text) and NONE of you are allowed to say you can’t do this one because you are all beautifully adorable so I don’t even want to hear it (80 points)

-choreograph a dance & send it out to everyone. Others also receive points for learning it. (100 points for all parties who participate in this one).

Here’s the tea ☕

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

Chamomile-

Amazing for winding down and relaxation. Good to drink before bed. Also helps with anxiety, head aches, and bloating. Recommended for those who are stressed. 

Peppermint-

Helps with bloating as well but also combats nausea. Another perk  includes combating bad breath.  

Chai-

For those with crappy immune systems (haha me). Fights inflammation. Aids digestion.

Black-

Treats anxiety (yay). Helps with weight loss. Also relieves head aches. 

Oolong-

Promotes weight loss & boosts one’s metabolism. It also might decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and protect against certain types of cancer. Good for dental health. 

White-

Good for stress and detoxification. Also promotes weight loss. 

Hibiscus-

Good for high blood pressure and fights respiratory diseases. 

Matcha-

Also good for bad immune systems.  Burns belly fat and is a good detoxifier. 

Hard Health Tips We All Need to Hear

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

Health tips we all need to hear (I’m kind of calling myself out too)

-stop drinking coffee for the aesthetic. Drink water. 

-actually make your bed. It makes your entire room look so much more neater. Trust me, I was a skeptic about this too but once you get into the habit, it really improves the feel of your space and gives you a clearer mind. 

-snack less. 

-Procrastinate Less. As soon as you get an assignment, DO IT. 

-it’s okay to buy yourself little treats every now and then. You feel guilty too much. It’s okay to buy that package of new socks for yourself, seriously.

-make yourself a playlist, it really helps. 

-wash your face at night, it can help you “wash away the day”. 

-if you want a warm, comfort drink, I recommend tea. I plan on making a full post on this. 

-don’t play your phone in bed. The blue light hinders your sleep and you want your mind to associate your bed with sleep. 

Cool Websites

Cool Websites

For learning:

Sites that I recommend if you want to learn something new✨

Duolingo- a new language

Springhole.net – writing/life advice 

Khan Academy – nearly anything. Has computer coding, history, art, math. The possibilities are endless. 

Cook Smarts- cooking (kind of a duh)

Memrise- words and vocab 

Make- DIY projects. 

For fun:

Ambiance mixer – lets you create your own atmosphere using sounds. 

Boil the frog – great for finding new music. You type in two artists and it makes a musical bridge between the styles of music. 

Fantasynamegenerator – fun for procrastinating writers. 

Chaotic shiny – same as above. 

Dolldivine – quality dress up games because I’m secretly still 10 years old at heart. Don’t lie, dress up flash games are the bomb. 

Rinmaru games – also same as above. 

Hackertyper.com – just a dumb time waster but still cool. 

Dragoncave.net – collect little dragon eggs and hatch them. 

Just Good Feelings

Waking up to the smell of something good cooking 

A week or day that you’ve been looking forward to.

Writing something and editing it only to finally finish it and actually being proud of the finished product. 

That feeling of being out the cold and that rush of warm you get when you walk inside.
