What's a chore you've been putting off for later?

Blogging about my trip here
https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/benthall-hall
I enjoyed my visit on Saturday and was fascinated by its history, but I'm at work in my job all week and I'm not feeling like making a big history post in the evening, though I kniw I should and hope it will be good once done.

What was your most favorite and least favorite subject in school?

My favourite was (and is) history and my least favourite were PE (I'm fitter now but still dislike team sports) and art.
I am angry about this as I now enjoy my photography and it shows an interest in art and I hope people will agree, some talent.

But because I was a bit clumsy with my early art at school I was dismissed by the art teachers as being no good at anything artistic, and probably stupid as well (even though I excelled in most subjects) and had one particular teacher who was an old hag who for her own reasons personally hated me.
If all teachers had been like that I would have failed and dropped out and never had the confidence to do anything, so why is bad teaching allowed?

What was your first real job and what did you do with your first pay-check?

Working in a warehouse handling CDs and DVDs in my first year of university, in 2003.
The first thing I did for money was to put 80 singles of I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness (a bloody awful song) into a box!
The money was spent on food and rather too much drink. And I suppose that dates me as nobody listens to The Darkness (reason being:they're wank) or buys singles, and that warehouse closed in 2007.

But my granddad was from Torun in Poland, and I'm excited o be going there on a sort of family return trip at Easter! It will be the first time I've been there and my mum and uncle haven't been in decades and don't really remember it so it will be a homecoming and I'd like to take part in a traditional Polish Easter.

What's in your favourite smoothie? What's in your favourite milkshake?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
1. Savse Protein Punch (coconut, pineapple, lime, vanilla & whey)
2. I don't much like milkshakes as they are a bit heavy & fatty for me. I'd rather be drinking mocha.

What is your "favorite part" in any song? It doesn't have to be your favorite song but just a part (lyric, line, beat drop, etc.) that you listen out for because it thrills/moves you in any way.

The riff, the guitar solo and the keyboard solo, three seperate parts and the rest make a perfect whole!

I'm glad if anyone appreciates my answers as I know I don't post as much as I might (due to being at work almost all the time) and I'm glad someone likes what I do post.

When was the last time you felt really really scared and why?

During this trip
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/post/182327395949/the-colour-of-springtime-is-in-the-flowers-the
I was facing a serious possibility of missing the last bus from Montgomery to Shrewsbury and, charming as that town is, it would lose its appeal when I got stranded there and would have had to buy a hotel room- it's that or sleep or walk on the streets of a remote town in mid-Wales all nigh. Then I'd have had to go all the way home in the morning.
So I was very scared and very relieved when the bus arrived. Then I missed the last train from Shrewsbury to Crewe and had to go on a much longer journey via Wolverhampton, and I did thik it's my special genius to successfully get out of remote corners of Wales then bugger up journeys around a major transport hub!

Do you still keep anything from your childhood? I still have some books, and some cartoons I drew and stories I wrote from when I was about 9!

I haven't kept any of my schoolbooks but I love Lord of the Rings more than ever as my understanding has deepened.
The reason I became an environmentalist, of the type I am, is that I was always inspired by the struggle of the Ents against Saruman the Tree-Kiler, and that's the ultimate reason why I do things such as my voluntary work planting trees.
But I haven't kept any of my scribbles as none of them survived my teens (and the legacy of my teens was destroyed in my 20s, and just after that I forgot everything I'd learnt at university). Maybe not a wise idea but I was too embarrassed by everything I'd done!

My s/o listens to a playlist everyday so I asked him for a link so I could listen too & the first song I heard from it is called Prittyboi by Pandaraps. It's v sweet & about having a genderqueer partner. What's a song that reminds you of yourself, a friendship or a relationship in your life?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
What else?
About being in a long distance relationship.

Google "Florida man" followed by your birth month and day and post the title. For example I searched "Florida man October 18th" and the result was "Florida man gets 40yrs for plotting to bomb Target stores".

Do you know any poem by heart? If yes, what is it?

The Laws of God, The Laws of Man
by A. E. Housman (1859-1936)
The laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theirs
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds I judge and much condemn,
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please yourselves, say I, and they
Need only look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest their neighbor to their will,
And make me dance as they desire
With jail and gallows and hell-fire.
And how am I to face the odds
Of man’s bedevilment and God’s?
I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.
They will be master, right or wrong;
Though both are foolish, both are strong.
And since, my soul, we cannot fly
To Saturn nor to Mercury,
Keep we must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man.

Is it easy to give someone a second chance??

No, and I admit I generally fail to do this. But the fact that we often fail to live up to the ideal doesn't mean we should stop holding up the ideal; quite the opposite!
"If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee."

Happy International Happiness Day! What are 5 things that make you happy in life? What made you happy today? ???

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
Visiting my girlfriend
Nature
Real ale
Books
Music
As a matter of fact nothing made me happy today as I worked all day and will spend most of the evening catching up with a backlog on my photography website, sounds depressing but I hope to have a good weekend so there is that.

Today I learned that there's a word for those lil bits of hair that are curled in the front, by your face. They're called tendrils. What have you learned recently? It can be in relation to anything! ?

urlsareshittbh’s Profile Photourlsareshittbh
Thanks for the information about tendrils :)
I recently learned that a new book of songs written, but never recorded, by Hank Williams, has been unearthed.
I love Hank and I love Bobby Dylan, who arranged it, and his collaborators are first-class; I've developed a lot of respect for Norah Jones, and I don't know much about her but look forward to finding out more.
