No Big Deal. Just Popped Up to Scotland for the Weekend.

More specifically, Lizzie and I went to Edinburgh for 3 days! Woo!


Lots of old, narrow streets (and some underground, like Mary King's Close! We went in there!)

I look good in my hat!

Terrifying children's toy! (In the Museum of Childhood)

Castle!

Volcanic rock!

So castley!

Lookin' fresh castle-side!

This is where JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book! AHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is inside the bathroom! ALL OVER!

Favorite.


ALSO FRIED FOOD!!!!! (and some letter grades)

Pizza:
It wasn't gross, but it didn't really taste any different.

Burgers: F-- 
Horrifying

Mars Bar: A

+ Haggis (not pictured....because it looks like what it is and also it was early then): B+

The architecture is beautiful and everything is so narrow and on top of itself. It's really hard to photograph if you're just some dick with an iPhone (like me), so here's some pictures that proper people took so you can see it.

Better view of the castle

The Scott Monument looks like a castle from hell (or The Sandman's castle) in the sunset. LOVED IT.

The view from Calton Hill (with some serious photoshopping going on)

Wow, I didn't find many good ones... Looks like you'll have to go to there!

Additionally, if you haven't already, enjoy this [Rated G]:

Ugly cryface + Heartburst

I feel like a weird loser, but everything's going to be ok. Mostly, I know this because my amazing partner sent me amazing job leads and then, sensing I might be freaking out/possibly having peaked at my blog, sent me this:


Note: Blog posts have reached frequency level 'unemployed'
Aaaaaaand I feel like an unemployed slacker who's too engulfed by debt to ever break into the art/craft/design field. But I do enjoy catching up on Orange is The New Black and The Office US! Woo! It hasn't been that long. It'll be ok. And 27 isn't too late.


 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Unemployed (voluntarily), camping at Lizzie's parents' house, applying for jobs. 
I want the apprenticeships most.
Wish me luck!
