Dear WordPress,
No, I know that you do not exist as a being and serve only as a blogging platform but I felt somewhat formal today (or strange as the case may be). Dramatic title (Would you expect any less of me?) but it sums up in 3 words, this day and the past week. (Weeks?)
Anyway, I recently started using popular microblog platform Tumblr. Which is essentially a blogging platform, however it’s much more casual as it doesn’t urge the writer to organise their blog and stress over paragraphs and detail - it’s mainly used for sharing, images, videos and audio files. Obviously it’s a given for people to blog casually and write about their day but it’s not as comprehensive nor suitable as platforms such as wordpress itself, typepad and other well established services for topics that require much more detail. A nice of way of describing Tumblr is that it’s neatly “settled between Twitter and a full fledged blogging platform.” So, basically, quick updates and what not.
It also prides itself on being “the easiest way to blog.”
But much to my disappointment – as soon as I started using Tumblr – it went into a nine hour (an counting) coma.
It’s supposedly crashed but Tumblr itself claims to be “under maintenance”. And the irony is here, it crashed on the DAY I began using it, literally a couple hours afterwards. Maybe I’m exaggerating in saying there’s a black cloud looming over my head but that’s not where the irony stops.
I headed into Uni today, hoping to get some work done and actually wanting to work, I went in at the ungodly hour of 9am (ungodly for me!) meaning I was up at around 8. Also I must mention that the weather was nothing short of unkind. With temperature below freezing, clearly braving the wind in my leggings was not the best option, and all this only to find that the boiler system has malfunctioned and we were “advised to go home.” I honestly didn’t know wether to laugh or cry.
& To top that all off, I’ve recently been extremely infactuated with Topshops Animal Pom Pom Duffle Coat and it’s sold out in my local topshop – on the website and at the warehouse. I’ve had no luck tracking one down across the country either. I had the chance to try it on once but I didn’t manage to buy it then regretfully and now I shall forever wallow in the mistfortunes of missed oppurtunities. 
Must say, right now I bear a striking resemblance to this panda.
