So many people here at work for a Welcoming and Inclusion meeting, yet I'm doing the welcoming and I'm excluded

This is Layla

 So Layla's been with me for 2 months now and she's adjusting pretty well. Just ask Christine, she hardly ever barks at her anymore! I mean sure, she howled at me a little last night, but that's cause I LEFT her.

I mean look at that little faaaace.

I'm clearly very coherent when it comes to talking about my baby doge.

This is Layla being a spoiled baby that I love lots

Also, fun news for me anyway, I went to the Campus Union last night and saw Burnie Burns speaking in real life and we got to see a clip from Lazer Team and he talked about his life and starting RoosterTeeth and there were fun embarrassing pictures of like Geoff and Gus and stuff and it was fun. I'm guessing it was also *inspirational* and all too, but I'm not so great at being a content creator so mostly I was there for the seeing Burnie Burns IRL aspect.

That's Burnie

I did have an idea for a blog when I was there, because he was talking about the evolution of the internet and how they like fill new niches and find areas that aren't already being filled with competition, and I was like, hey I'm at work and run out of things I can do on the internet because a lot of content is audio/video based and I can't watch videos while working so what the internet needs is stuff to read at work. But then I realised, I don't even post here on my existing blog and also I'm the worst.

First of all, I am MENTALLY STABLE

I got a dog yesterday! Last night! Less than 24 hours ago!

This is Layla

She's basically mine. Like, trial period still I guess, but LOOK AT THE LITTLE BABY.

Somehow I'm still at work today. I don't know how I'm going to manage.

And then GODDAMN ONE DIRECTION RELEASED A NEW SINGLE IN THE MIDDLE OF LAST NIGHT AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW UNTIL THIS MORNING. Good news, I've listened to it a lot and I have THOUGHTS.

Drag Me Down

“

I’ve got fire for a heart;

Bro so much fire, you must be FIREPROOF 

I’m not scared of the dark.

BECAUSE YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE DARK?

 You’ve never seen it look so easy. I’ve got a river for a soul, and baby, you’re a boat.

You're a boat. New compliment, just use it randomly.

 Baby, you’re my only reason.

If I didn’t have you, there would be nothing left, the shell of a man that could never be his best. O.O If I didn’t have you, I’d never see the sun. This sounds like something someone would say to me about like, if I wasn't here you'd never go outside, if you didn't have a dog you wouldn't know what the weather was like out, etc You taught me how to be someone.

All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me. I just really want Zayn to be like, great job on the new single guys, behind you all the way. All these lights, they can’t blind me. With your love, nobody can drag me down. Except maybe a mic stand

All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me. All these lights, they can’t blind me. With your love, nobody can drag me down. Nobody, nobody. Nobody can drag me down. Nobody, nobody. Nobody can drag me down. I need a breakdown of who does all these parts. Like, Louis is easy, pretty sure I can always find him, but come one guys, get on that

I’ve got fire for a heart; I’m not scared of the dark. You’ve never seen it look so easy. I’ve got a river for a soul, and baby, you’re a boat. Baby, you’re my only reason. This verse was all Niall right? Little Irish child, hope he's having a good day.

If I didn’t have you, there would be nothing left, a shell of a man who could never be his best. super enjoy the echoed BE HIS BEST here because they're bros chanting together If I didn’t have you, I’d never see the sun. You taught me how to be someone.

All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me. All these lights, I appreciate the note lights is on, it makes me go, l-I-ghts, I don't know they can’t blind me. With your love, nobody can drag me down. Nobody, nobody. Nobody can drag me down. Nobody, nobody. Nobody can drag me…

All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me. All these lights, they can’t blind me. With your love, nobody can drag me down.

All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me. All these lights, they can’t blind me. With your love, nobody can drag me down. Nobody, nobody. Nobody can drag me down. Nobody, nobody. Nobody can drag me down.

”  AND THEN A STUPID LITTLE LAUGH WHO WAS THAT, THAT WAS NOT OKAY, IT MAKES ME GO, WHERE IS THE MUSIC VIDEO I NEED TO SEE THE SMIRK THAT ACCOMPANIES THAT
