Grandpa Laptop won’t turn on. I think it’s dead.

Granted, the thing is four and a half years old, couldn’t hold a charge, and was slowed down by every program I could possibly put on it.

Poor thing. I feel like holding a ceremony for it or something! We’ve been together for so long! Noooooo come back to meeeeee!

I feel like I need to even out my annoyingness with something funny so here is some Buster I’m sorry for who I am.

Did this one a while ago but never posted it for whatever reason.

Haven’t been doing many covers lately and I don’t know if it’s because I’ve exhausted all songs I have ever thought of doing or if I’m just bored with it. This is probably the point where people stop playing covers and start writing their own stuff, but I don’t think I’m particularly very good at that sooo this might be the end of Amanda Plays Ukulele Fun Times?

It sounds like you're living it up in Edinburgh. I wish I was having a better time. I can't seem to meet people.

Really? By the looks of my tumblr it probably seems like I just watch a lot of tv on my laptop, drink tea alone and procrastinate. 

No, I’m having a blast. I’ve met a decent amount of people but that’s just from classes and friends of my roommates. Most of my time is spent fighting the desire to make travel plans, worrying about documentaries I have to make, and reading every article on media ethics, filmmaking, and internet personalities. 

I’d say the easiest way to meet people here is to get out (not clubs) and do stuff. Getting a part time job I’m sure helps, and talking to people around you. I assume you’re here for school - just ask some classmates out for a drink! That’s what I did and now we go out every week and share way-too-personal-for-school-mates stories with each other. It’s lovely. 

Also, if you hop off anon I’m sure we could meet up for something if you like! 

It’s important that I see that picture.

Oh dude if I had snatched it up, I definitely would have posted it. It’s probably on the floor of a basement of a smelly, sticky pub at the moment, soaked with beer and saliva (the Introducer held them up for everyone to vote on and then threw the losers on the ground - it was a decent picture though, I could probably re-create it not in crayon)
Here ya go: 
 
Picture it bigger and in blue and red crayon, and you’ve pretty much got it. 

Woo!

Got a 67 on that essay I wrote back in December.

So in “Edinburgh terms”, that’s an 87.

Noooot baaaaad
