My name is Kayleigh Ann Maguire, hence the incredibly witty use of KAM. I'm being sarcastic, not arrogant. I enjoy baking and cooking so I like to post recipes here that I have tried and loved. I also like to post about anything else that takes my fancy so if you like anything, I'm grateful and I hope I create something that is of some use to you! : )

Today is a glorious day in Stirling. Definitely a sunglasses day, although you may need to wear a coat, scarf and gloves with them but we are still in Scotland.
Anyway, as I have no one to visit or no where to go (that’s not precisely true, I’m going to my dad’s for dinner in about twenty minutes but I don’t really count that) I’m sitting in my room wearing sunglasses. It’s so bright in here! I love sunglasses. They’re only cool though if it’s sunny…and you’re out in it…but, hey ho!
Ps. I’d also like to mention that I’ve now lost a stone in weight (it will be a stone tomorrow). You can’t really tell in this picture because it’s not coming off of my face so much. Still, only a stone and a half to go! After that time, imagine the amount of pictures I’ll be posting then! Nothing wrong with being a little bit vain…
there’s this moment halfway through spreading nutella on a croissant where you realize you’ve given up on ever having a six pack. the rest of the time is devoted to making sure you get a nice, even coverage.
Aw man, that looks so gooood.
Why did I have to choose a uni so far from home?
Damn you Stirling with your beautiful campus and amazingly long holidays!
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF

Why when we want to move on and forget about something, does it continue to plague us when we sleep?
I don’t want to see your face in my dreams and when I close my eyes at night. I don’t want to wake up in pain.
Time is not a magical healer of everything. Sometimes it cures nothing and instead draws out painful memories until it’s years later and still you can’t forget, still you can’t put it behind you. What kind of situation must have to have taken place for time to heal the pain? And if time can’t heal it, what can? How long will this continue for?
There’s so many questions but no one there to answer them.
I decided to be such a loser and make myself a website (LOL) you know, for all my fans to stalk me on.
I love pretending I’m famous. It just means when I do become famous, I’ll already be adapted to the famous lifestyle. I’m totally being sarcastic haha. I just like shoving all my sites in people’s faces even though they’re filled with the same shite.
ANYWAY, check out my new OFFICIAL WEBSITE (LOL). It even has a like button for facebook ;) That’s right bitches, watch me soar!
(I love being a loser)

Spent the day recording new covers since I’ve not been able to for years now.
I’ve already covered this song but I think this one is far better and the quality is different class really.
I hope this is the first of many. Pretty happy with it for a change! : )

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: A woman in Afghanistan who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the crime of being raped by a relative has been pardoned by Afghan President Hamid Karzai after she agreed to marry her rapist.
The woman, identified only as “Gulnaz,” was convicted of adultery after reporting that she had been raped by her cousin’s husband. According to Gulnaz’s lawyer, marrying her rapist was not a condition for release, but she has agreed to do so in order to “legitimize her daughter.”
“In my conversations with Gulnaz she told me that if she had the free choice she would not marry the man who raped her,” attorney Kimberley Motley said.
Gulnaz had been raising her daughter, who was conceived as a result of the rape, in jail.
Her rapist was sentenced to 12 years in prison, but later had his jail time reduced to 7 years. Gulnaz also had her 12-year sentence reduced to 3 years. Authorities said she would not serve all 12 years, but would still have to spend time in jail for not reporting the rape soon enough.
Oh dear God. There is no justice in this world.

I get it—you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something, or connect you to doing something, that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never condone.
And they’ve told you about triggers, and PTSD, and how one in six women is a survivor, and you get it. You do. But you can’t let every time someone gets all upset get in the way of you having a good time, right? Especially when it doesn’t mean anything. Rape jokes have never made YOU go out and rape someone. They never would; they never could. You just don’t see how it matters.
I’m going to tell you how it does matter. And I tell you this because I genuinely believe you mean it when you say you don’t want to hurt anybody, and that it’s important to you to do your best to be a decent and good person, and that you don’t see the harm. And I genuinely believe you when you say you would never associate with a rapist and you think rape really is a very bad thing.
Here is why I refuse to take rape jokes sitting down…
Because 6% of college-aged men, slightly over 1 in 20, will admit to raping someone in anonymous surveys, as long as the word “rape” isn’t used in the description of the act—and that’s the conservative estimate. Other sources double that number (pdf).
A lot of people accuse feminists of thinking that all men are rapists. That’s not true. But do you know who think all men are rapists?
Rapists do.
They really do. In psychological study, the profiling, the studies, it comes out again and again.
Virtually all rapists genuinely believe that all men rape, and other men just keep it hushed up better. And more, these people who really are rapists are constantly reaffirmed in their belief about the rest of mankind being rapists like them by things like rape jokes, that dismiss and normalize the idea of rape.
If one in twenty guys (or more) is a real and true rapist, and you have any amount of social activity with other guys like yourself, then it is almost a statistical certainty that one time hanging out with friends and their friends, playing Halo with a bunch of guys online, in a WoW guild, in a pick-up game of basketball, at a bar, or elsewhere, you were talking to a rapist. Not your fault. You can’t tell a rapist apart any better than anyone else can. It’s not like they announce themselves.
But, here’s the thing. It’s very likely that in some of these interactions with these guys, at some point or another, someone told a rape joke. You, decent guy that you are, understood that they didn’t mean it, and it was just a joke. And so you laughed.
Or maybe you didn’t laugh. Maybe it just wasn’t a very funny joke. So maybe you just didn’t say anything at all.
And, decent guy who would never condone rape, who would step in and stop rape if he saw it, who understands that rape is awful and wrong and bad, when you laughed? When you were silent?
That rapist who was in the group with you, that rapist thought that you were on his side. That rapistknew that you were a rapist like him. And he felt validated, and he felt he was among his comrades.
You. The rapist’s comrade.
And if that doesn’t make you feel sick to your stomach, if that doesn’t make you want to throw up, if that doesn’t disturb you or bother you or make you feel like maybe you should at least consider not participating in that kind of humor anymore, not abiding it in your presence, not greeting it with silence…
Well, maybe you aren’t as opposed to rapists as you claim.
