Nature’s Banter
A nice wee walk is what you need! A dander, a wander and a good wee stroll! To wave away the bores and the blues, To boost the body, the brain, morale! Ach go away and leave me be, To fume in this car and stare and glum. And not to see more birds and bees, But rant and rave and bite my thumb. Don’t go cutting your nose to spite your face! Just think of the tortoise and the hare, With your gridlocks and pileups and tiny boxed space, You’ll not be getting anywhere. Catch yourself on, I don’t care! This is the life I’m forced to live, To combust exactly when and where, The effing traffic will permiss! Wise the bap and howl your whist, I’m not the one holding you back. Open the window so you can breathe, Oh wait you can’t, cause of all the cack. I’m scundered now, not at all myself, In smog that smokes and stinks and bellows. I’d be more at home on a continental shelf, Where life is chilled and I can mellow. There’s no need to cry, well actually you might. Over carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, ozone and soot. But these and the nitrogen oxides aren’t the worst of the plight... Carbon dioxide, the fiend, he’s in disrepute! But Carbon’s my name! And I’m not all bad, The fire that burns releases my demons. I was once a plant, a bird, a bee in Baghdad, And now it’s I who’s left with all the blame. Carbon my friend, it’s me the tree, We’re not to blame; it’s those that always drive. I’ll sort you out, come visit me, And together we’ll help those eejits survive. You’re quare saft, but you’re right and it’s grand, A dander to shar their heads is just what they need. We’re interconnected; nature, sea, air, and land. Carbon muckers; step up and nature’s banter now heed. | | Friday, August 13th, 2010 | | 9:43 am |
workinjg from home
This working from home business does make you a big stir crazy though! Went to the gym last night with my friend monkey, having seen no one but nick and the kids for two days and not leaving the house. This is what he put on facebook Such a lovely and very random nite with Jen Martelli Brown :) Running thru the hinch like Phoebe from friends (lol) and 50p bets to moon at cars! completely sober may I add... Good times : I also poured water all over him whilst at the gym and put him on the vibro plate for 330 seconds. Working from home is ok if you learn you have to play out of home too! JTA am liking you hair! | | Thursday, August 12th, 2010 | | 5:30 pm |

happiness
Being happy is a curious thing. I am happy. Soooo happy. And not one of those up and down ecstatic suicidal happiness's that I am prone to. Apart from a couple of wee down days, I have been happy every day since I met Nick. But how do I know, what do i measure this with, how to confirm that I am indeed 'happy'. A theory yet to be proved? No. Just happy. Happy happy happy. Nick and I are getting married next June. And we are having an engagement party on the 13th of June this year if anyone would like to come. It is of course in Northern Ireland. And Nick, i believe, will actually be there. Happy. | | Thursday, March 26th, 2009 | | 5:38 pm |
Aberystwyth
Hi all! Me and my lovely boyfriend Nick will be up in Aber (staying at the lovely Claire's and lovely dan's) on Sunday and possibly Monday night. It would be great to see anyone who's around. If someone could organise some good weather that would be great. Can't wait!!!!! Jen | | Wednesday, February 11th, 2009 | | 6:43 pm |

a two part task
I think I need to make more of an effort to keep in touch with people so I am going to try and post regulary. Suz looks very beautiful in her wedding photos, I think dressing up as the corpse bride for halloween is as close as i'll get to that. The problem with posting is that I don't really have that much to say, life, whilst good, is just not quite as interesting as in aberystwyth. I don't know, it's something about knowing how everyday will turn out, in aber you were never quite sure what would happen or who with. I went to a UN conference on Climate change last week and that was very good, and I even got up the courage to talk to a very beautiful man, not that anything came of it, but at least I tried. I had my first event a couple of weeks ago "Red Kite Fright Night" and that was very successful and things at work are great (apart from drinking too much at a work do and falling over). Admittedly I'm not really doing any of my phd work and that is bad but it is also the way I work, hopefully pressure will build up and then I'll be away. Anyway isn't this rambly! Sure it's a start, my sunday post? Yes, Jen's sunday post, and at the end of which there will be a question that only the good people who live or lived in aber shall be asked. This week's question, or task, or experiment, sticking to the theme of marriedom and singledom comes in two parts, of which you can choose one or both. PART ONE I think chatting people up is not necessarily the hardest part of getting off with someone or getting a date, what is hard is finding out if people are single (or in Dan, Ruth, JTA and claire's case, open to further realtionships), this can be very difficult, particulary in professional situations where it is not appropriate to come straight out with "Are you single?" or "are you available?". Therefore the first part of the task is to come up with new, or old, but essentially inventive ways of ascertaining the answer to the question. If possible in a way that does not immediately convey "You are gorgeous, I want to lick you" to the person addressed. Suggestions from everyone very welcome and needed, the more obscure the better! The way of finding out has to make it look like you weren't really asking, which makes it ok if you have to see the person everyday! PART TWO Should you choose to accept it this is a mission, an experiment! To all those out there that have held their tongues in the past and let "opportunities" slip them by. This coming week, if you see someone you like, whether for the first time or someone you already know, I implore you to go up to them and ask them if they are single/available using one of the lines that part one provides or your own perferred method. Now, a lot of people will be turned down, there are a lot of attached monogamous people out there! I am prepared to be let down myself, but then at least we will have tried! And we can see if the lines from part one work to find out if they are available. The next step, if you like the person, is to work out whether they are up for a relationship or "random play" (as facebook puts it) or whatever you want. So, if a line works for me, and the guy is single, I am going to ask him out for a drink! Yes, yes I am! And I am then going to report back on the results of the "experiment". Please feel free to take this next step with me. Strength in numbers! And a wee mantra for everyone about to approach someone they like, "What have we got to Lose?" Till next week, Jen | | Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | | 10:59 am |
And life moves on...
So today is Monday and I am supposed to register online for my Phd at Queens, except that I can't because it's all new for them this year and it doesn't seem to be working. I guess I haven't actually told anybody what I'm up to. I graduated from Aber with a 2.1 in Environmental Science, I got 68 which is nice and now I am about to start Queens as an undifferentiated Student (hopefully Phd when it comes down to it), the title, which is bound to change, is "Sustainability, Ecological Citizenship and Post Conflict Transformation; the case of Northern Ireland." Sounds interesting....I haven't studied since June so when i look at that title I am scared, do I know anything at all? I hope so and I hope it all comes back to me. I didn't get funding but nevermind because I did get what seems to be the best job in the world. I am now Youth and Education Assistant for RSPB Northern Ireland. It's 2.5 days a week and the pay is pitiful, but I've done a month so far and it has been great. Also I will barely be taxed at all. I live in a house beside my parents which is lovely, what is lovelier still is that they don't want any rent while I'm a student. I drink in my local and I am still single. Something I'm starting to get used to (been 5 months now) with the help of my new little dog Gwen! A little terrier I got from the dog shelter, she is a wee cutie. I also passed my driving test and bought Kathy the car. I've been spending lots of time with my friends but as I watched John and Beth (siblings) head off to Manchester I couldn't help thinking, "What about me, when to I get to go back to Aber?" And it is very strange to think that I won't be back. I miss it more than I could imagine, I miss the people, and the sea, but most of all I miss the person that I was there, and I wonder will she ever come back. | | Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 | | 2:44 pm |
Leaving Aberystwyth
So, I am leaving and it makes me sad. What makes me happy is that my mum had cancer and now she doesn't anymore. Ain't that great? So I am going home, I am doing an unfunded phD and working as a Youth and Education Assistant for the RSPB for the next three years. If ever you want to visit you are very welcome. Thank you so much for everything you've done over the last five years, I will miss you and I will miss this beautiful place. I'm off on Saturday morning. Love Jen | | Monday, March 10th, 2008 | | 8:08 am |
Phoneless
I think it is about time that I announce to the world that I am phoneless. My phone has disappeared, so, if anybody wants to reach me, my university web address is your best bet. Love to all, Jen | | Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 | | 4:04 pm |

If you know me and my phone number please (if you can be arsed and have any money)text me WITH YOUR NAME so i can have you snug in my contacts list. | | 3:32 pm |
A strange wee read
Hello all, happy new year. I am now 23 and it feels a nice round age. I am writing to ask if any body has any time or inclination to proof read my dissertation. As many of you know I make the stupidest mistakes known to man and your help would be much appreciated. It should be ready by the 2nd of February and I would need it back within a week. The title is "sustainable Citizenship as a keystone to conflict resolution, focusing on Northern Ireland" It should be an interesting, if a little strange, wee number if anyone wants to read it. I can either provide a print out, or e-mail or msn it to you if you're interested. Hope you are all well and bouncing along nicely. The dis is due FEBRUARY 14th and I hope to see many of you, sorely neglected friends, after this romantic day. Lots of Love Jen | | Thursday, September 27th, 2007 | | 9:16 pm |
The Fear
I have the fear. I have two 3000 word essays that I should be writing now, a giant marine biology field report for november and my dissertation, (which we were told should be at chapter 2 stage now) to start. I have done much thinking but no actual writing. I have the fear. Each time I sit down to do something I end up on ebay or cleaning something or eating copious amounts of food. The fear has me. | | Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 | | 10:44 am |

| You Have A Type B+ Personality |
You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions |
