guest blog #1: witty quotes & fantasy

Note from Nikolett: Well, this week has definitely called for some time away from the computer (and you have no clue how much that devastates me - if you follow me on Twitter, you'll see I barely have time to update that either!). But I loved reading all of your experiences with serendipity and fate, and hope I inspired you to watch some movies, too! Our first guest blog comes from Alexis, a girl who does some amazing photography and reads a great deal of fantasy books while also struggling with university! Definitely check her out, and I have a few more guest blogs in store, so thank you to them and thanks for being patient while I'm off tackling another essay. Now, here's Alexis!

Like Nikolett, I'm also in university and this week was full of the exciting adventures that come with my school's online enlistment process. JOY!!

But, as what usually happens with me when I encounter crazy happenings, I end up finding all the crazy things that tend to happen this week very amusing. Like when the school's computer system decided to change my course from Humanities to....Industrial Economics. Yikes!

Also...it retained my previous subjects which made for an amusing contrast in information on my student information sheet. Since when do Industrial Economics courses include subjects like Visual Arts, Classical Greek Plays, Asian Literature, Film Theory and philosophy based subjects? O.O

Right then...how about let's distract ourselves from the craziness of the University life for now?

I've always like collecting witty quotes, which I either post in my regular blog or just write down in notebooks. I like quotes on reading, writing, coffee (of course!) and other random quotes like from my most favorite tv show ever, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or my favorite books like Anne of Green Gables and fantasy books by Neil Gaiman and the like.

Aside from my photography, which you can see in the most recent entries of my blog, I also like playing around with digital scrapbooking using Photoshop. The quotes below were made using Photoshop and some downloaded digiscrap freebies. :)

I love coffee, and this quote perfectly describes how I feel anytime I see my mug filled with coffee. :P I haven't read the Discworld book this quote is from, The Fifth Elephant, I only found it when I was searching for quotes about coffee. Have any of you read it?

This next quote explains one of the reasons why I love reading, especially fantasy books. If you were to look at my GoodReads list, 145 out of the 329 books listed are fantasy. And the remaining 184 are divided among a whole bunch of other categories. I'm starting to feel like I read entirely too many fantasy books...must find others....

So...what are your favorite quotes about your likes or hobbies? What quotes cheer you up when you feel overwhelmed and in need of a laugh?

Thank you so much Alexis! I'm off to defeat some dragons/assignments now.
And I hope you've all been having a great week so far, I'm spending tomorrow catching up!
