It suddenly occurred to me today, after trying to persuade my mum that 'on fleek' was actually a phrase, that these slang terms will probably not be around in a few years. So I decided- just to freak the person reading this in ten years time (yes, I'm NEVER deleting this blog!)- to write down a few phrases or words which are popular right now, and they're urban dictionary definition. And then I can snuggle up to this post when I am older and reminisce/ feel embarassed at the post.
On Fleek ~ ''The quality of being perfect, or on point i.e. Zayn Malik.''
(To the ten years older me reading this. Zayn Malik was a member of the band One Direction. YouTube it. Do you remember YouTube? You loved it.)
On Point ~ ''To be perfect; to satisfy; whatever it was, it met the persons standards.''
Squad ~ ''Crew, posse, gang...''
Your group of friends basically. Funnily enough at one point you had a squad. They were awesome.
Squad Goals ~ ''an inspirational term for what you'd like your group of friends to be or accomplish...''
Swag ~ Ok, so we haven't got an urban dictionary definition for this one because it was just someone who obviously had a lot to get off their chest about the word swag. Basically it meant you were cool, and had style... You never had it.
Bae ~ ''Used by people on the internet, meaning baby, sweetie, etc.''
You hated the word when it was popular- people used to use it to talk about their friends. I only used it with Sherl talking about Benedict Cumberbatch *cough* Benebae *cough*.
I Ship It ~ This is a fandom word, you used this one a lot actually. Mostly for book characters or random strangers you see in the street. ''Short for relationship, popularised in fanfiction circles.'' You were part of many fandoms... Many.
These were the main ones anyway. May do a part 2, comment if I should! Anyway, how's life ten years from now? Comment down below future me! Signed, Geekling. xx
'Life is a walk in the park'
A wise man said to me
I shook my head and walked on
But now I'm starting to agree.
Along your way there'll be thistles
To try and drag you down
But you can just walk over them
Before they take your crown.
There'll be risky paths,
Of which you'll fear to take
But a 'what if?' is far worse
than an 'oops' or a mistake.
You'll look up the trees
And think 'how'd they get so tall?'
But soon you'll be climbing them
And you won't feel so small.
And sometimes the sun will shine
Or the rain will fall on your parade
But life is full of umbrella's
To offer you some aid.
You'll fall down a few times
And maybe scrape your knees
But a friend will come by and help
Just remember your pretty please.
So the wise man was right I suppose
Life is like a walk in the park
Sometimes it will shine so bright
Others the clouds'll be dark.
Been a while since I've done one of these... I don't know why I said 'one of these'- it's just a poem! You can probably smell the cheese 10 miles away but I thought I'd publish it. Funnily enough I thought of the ideas whilst I was walking in a park, so I guess it's appropriately named.
Have a happy evening (or day depending on where you are in the world).

So, what do you guys think? New theme, new layout, new blog title layout, new background! Lots of new things- not a new me though!
As you can probably tell if you have visited this blog more than once (why thankyou. It's a rarity!) I have somewhat changed the look and feel of my blog. I intend to write more from the heart as well, all my thoughts (well, perhaps not all my thoughts. Jeez, my posts would be coming a million a day!) and daily ideas, instead of the norm challenges. I'll still do most of my old kind of posts but as well as the above suggestions. I'm getting quite excited now. I love you, blog!
Oh and a little shoutout to the people that visited here today- or that one person who kept refreshing my page because they thought the wi-fi wasn't working. It is, by the way. For some reason (I've tried to find out why but I can't seem to locate the source) my pageviews have increased by more than half today. What a lovely thing!
Ok, that's it. Carry on with whatever you were doing. I'll return to my writing and stretch my leg before it goes entirely numb because for some reason I'm writing this whilst sitting in a ball on the floor. Such spontaneity!
