Millie Moo.

So we had the new dog at our house last night, she is amazing. I didn't think I would pick a dog such as Millie but she's quality - really playful but when you're bored of throwing a ball she's knackered anyway and would prefer to lay on you and sleep.

Check her out -


So damn cute.

ONE WEEK and it's Christmas Eve. I'm pretty freakin' excited this year because for once i've had enough money to buy people some pretty great gifts. I seriously, seriously would prefer to see people open what i've got them than anything anyone's got me. The look on someone's face when they open something unexpected is class, especially since i've put a lot of effort in this year! I got the dog a PFC dog bowl. This dog gets cooler by the minute.

Probably gonna hold back on the blogging until after Christmas now, it's been a good ish year. Started off pretty horrendous with the way I was feeling but i've gradually become so much better. There is something I quite dislike about NYE mostly because it seriously feels like you're having to let go of something you've spent a whole year doing. I'm not actually sure what I feel like i'm letting go of but I always have this empty feeling at midnight on NYE until the next day when i'm almost always fine again. PLan is to probably get really drunk and it hopefully won't be that bad.

I spent the entirety of this year being single with the exception of knob jock, yes you know who you are. But I think, I THINK i'm okay with this. Hell I should be okay with it, it's been long enough. Maybe 2010 is the year of the dashing gentlemen to whisk me off my feeeeet!?

Sniffle me Timbers

So the annual sniffles is upon me. Pretty rubbish couple of days, bunged up to the max and may aswell have vick's vapour rub coming out my ears.

I LOVE wearing clothes that are now massively too big for me, even if I do look like an absolute dork. After getting on the scales yesterday it's official I have lost an actual stone. Yeehar. Gotta lose another...with Christmas coming up this isn't looking that promising, oh well.

(I wish I bought the vapour rub to work...)

I'm very annoyed that Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill are taking a 'mid season break' or some shit. This was my Tues, pretty much depended on Chuck and Blair, booooo up yours CW! Yes, I do realise that was a bit sad, but what're you gonna do?

Watched a weird film last night called 'Hunger' on channel 4. Basically about a load of Irish Republicans in Prison going on hunger strike to fight for their rights. Was disturbing to say the least. I say disturbing as there was lots of naked men getting thrown around and beaten as well as two naked men in a prison cell smeared with poo. Now correct me if i'm wrong but that is FUCKING DISGUSTING. Having said this, I stuck with it and watched the entire thing - there was an epic scene between the guy leading the hunger strike and a priest which was pretty much the longest scene i've ever seen in my life spanning about 20 minutes. It was highly unnerving watching Sands starve himself, becoming so frail he couldn't hold his own body weight up. I thought if people go on hunger strike you pin them down and feed them through a tube? Obviously not. Anyway, crackin' film, not for the faint hearted.

Back to ye olde drawing board.

I wonder...

It's been a reflective Sunday. We put the Christmas decoration's up, realised it was too late to go to Sainsburys, have just now put homemade chips in the oven - with the skins on. Yum!

I've just been sitting here for the past 15 minutes wondering a few things. I know i'm only 22 years old, yadda, yadda, yadda but it's kind of difficult when i've got a Brother who 28, married, lives in a house he's built up to be an amazing family home and a Sister who's 30, owns 2 houses, is about to get married to her long term boyfriend in Turkey and has prettymuch one of the most exciting jobs ever. Then there's me, 22, failed at moving out, now live back at home (in the spare room because we have dead rats, and who's flies invade my actual room.), single and wondering what's going to happen next. I've got some amazing friends, who are lucky enough to be in great relationships and I somehow always feel like the one who's everyones 'best friend'. I love being a best friend but seriously? I don't know if i'm doing something wrong...? I got out of a 5 year relationships and was then at a complete loose end, went into another relationship I thought would be awesome but then never turned out to be awesome at all. I feel like i've definitely waited long enough for Mr.Right or at least the next person in the quest to ultimately end up with this person. Lonely is not even the right word, i'm not sure what is. Sometimes I feel like I should be finding myself in London, a job I actually enjoy and some brilliant discoveries. Me in the big city, or perhaps i'll end up small town girl from Portsmouth. It would make it so much easier if I actually had a clue what was going to happen in the future.

Wow, that was deep, sorry.

Ferris' Day Off

Yesterday was plain shitty.

Sat at work around 11am and got a text from Mum telling me Damien and Caroline had decided to have Ferris put to sleep. Almost immediately burst into tears, looked bloody ridiculous with people thinking the most tragic thing ever had happened. To be fair it is pretty tragic to us, he was one of the family. Sara took me outside and gave me a hug which was lovely of her. I went home at 3pm to work from home for a couple of hours, spent a bit of time with him before they took him to the Vets.

It's actually making feel incredibly sad writing about it. He looked so peaceful laying down in our house on the quilt all sleepy. I gave him lots of hugs and as he usually doesn't like people getting too close to his face he was surprisingly good letting me give him a small kiss on the head. He was the best freakin' dog anyone could ask for, an absolute legend. He was a grand age of 17 which i'm pretty sure means he should have been getting a telegram from the Queen anytime soon.

Caroline was absolutely beside herself, this was very VERY upsetting to see. Ferris was loved so very much but all the family but we all know it was genuinely the right thing to do, he was struggling to carry his own weight even though he only weighed as much as a feather since he was so thin.

Ferris you were absolutely brilliant and I miss you ever so much already. You touched all our lives and for this we thank you, you will never ever be forgotten :-)

Scotty McScotsman. Unlucky.

So I went to the Slug and Lettuce on Monday for our work xmas meal, pretty much to be expected. Alright food, cheap price, good company. Apart from sending the starter back since it was stone cold it was a success. Little did I know the night of sleeping ahead of me was going to be pretty bad, woke up at around 2:45 and felt horrendously sick. Ended up sleeping almost sat upright which is never fun. Went to work in the morning sat there like a complete mong and ended up going home at 3:45pm. Went to see White Lies last night so definitely needed some sleep or something to at least get me through that. Felt sooooooo much better after a sleep and quite enjoyed WL. Was lacking a bit of atmosphere at first but soon got going. Bumped into Calum, Karen, Lynn, Stu, Val and Kev and then Stokesy. Was good to see all!

Last nights sleep was amazing, to say the least. Decided to come into work early this morning so got in about 08:20am to people saying 'Why are you in early?' like that's normal time for some people but I tend to stroll in about 9:15! Ooopsy.

Now, one of the best things ever happened today. For so long I tease Scotty (Martin) about his Scotty Scot Scot name and he dislikes this but today he chose to CALL HIMSELF Scotty. It was glorious. My work here is done.

Now that's out the way what the flying fuck is up with this weather?! FREEZING my arse off yesterday. It's simply not acceptable. Having said that it is about 23 days til Christmas so I suppose it is generally expected to be cold at this time of year. No ice on the car this morning was a small bonus, thanks God.

Seeing Dawny today and going to see Law Abiding Citizen tonight, should be good. Gerard Butler. That's all i'm going to say. On a side note, I can't believe i'm going to say this but I think i'm definitely too old for 3 day benders. I can't even remember if i've ever done that before at least now I know I can not handle that whatsoever. I still think i'm recovering now. Had to be done for Calvin though to be fair. Ahhhhh, Calvin. Still totally stoked.

Lots of good things to look forward to in the coming weeks. Bournemouth this Sat, London on Sun with Henners, Work xmas party 10th, exchanging of secret santa gifts with my bestests and then Christmas Day. Plenty to keep me entertained. Yippee!

I've got Love for you...

...if you were born in the 80's...!

Calvin Harris was IMMENSE! The best end to the heaviest weekend of my life. I actually don't know how i'm going to recover. I'm thinking about going to sleep on the carpet.

So my first ever visit to Liquid wasn't bad. Infact it was pretty fucking sensational given the fact that CALVIN was there. Christ, I cannot express how much I love this man. It's a little obsessive but those who know me will vouch i'm not a complete weirdo (or not..!). I woke up horrendous late this morning but managed to get ready in record time. Christ i've got to go out tonight, tuesday and wednesday...i'm trying to figrue out a way or how i'm going to make it as I type.

Tonight I have work xmas meal, a little early but it's 50% off in slug and lettuce! They could serve me tripe and i'd still be impressed. Tomorrow seeing White Lies - excited for this since i've had the tickets forever! Wednesday off to the movies with the girls so at least it's a little toned down. Phewph.

This weekend was manic I had too many things to do. Friday, shit I can't even remember what I did friday. I've consumed enough alcohol to inebriate an entire army this weekend. Friday, friday friday...I went somewhere...i'm hoping typing will make it pop into my head. OH! Yes, Alix's 21st birthday party! Disney dress up and I was Mrs Incredible! All the girls made a stella effort, blatantly the best dressed ones there. We eneded p in babylon Becca was wading round with her cardboard fish nemo costume - this was amusing. The night ended in bad fashion to be honest but we're all over it now.

Saturday went out for Becca's leaving meet up thing, it was SO good to see so many old faces from old work! Especially Maffman, aww so so good to see him. Had an odd time in The Deco a place which I won't be going too often, not gonna lie! Ended up in Honest Polli and then Scandals. Got home about 1:30 bless Mike for picking us up at such an hour. Free taxi! Then there was the brilliance of last night, met someone I knew/didn't know, I know what I mean. Amazing night all round with Victor. Maybe we'll go in trafalgar more often...?!

Right, now do excuse me whilst I collapse.

FLASHBACK

Eventful last few weeks to say the least. Family feud to the max, however things kinda turned out for the best even this did involve me feeling totally and utterly SHIT for about 2 or 3 days. Really REALLY hate times like that. Anyway, less of this as plenty of wonderful things happened.

Last friday was...I actually don't think there are any words to describe it. I'll have a go - it was incredibly, insanely, weirdly, random. That doesn't even do it justice. We went to Carlton Club for a couple of drinks and then we got a taxi to Palmeston road, had a cocktail in HKC, contemplated going to Chicago (thank god only comtemplated) and then went to guildhall. Kind of the biggest contradiction EVER or at least I would have said that if it hadn't have turned out to be one of the best nights in ages. Had some shots in V bar, bought vicki the most horrendous shot topped with cream, then Kate and Vicki has some tobasco one. Kate said her mouth was on fire, not surprised and considering she doesn't like spicy things - unlucky! I went sensibly for the tasty ones, teehee! We headed out of there straight to babylon and from there on it was wicked! Music was pure 90's hit after hit, sing along pretty much constantly. Some proper weirdo's in there but I think we fitted in nicely, haha. Vicki even knew some tranny called 'Steve' who was stood outside...I said it was a weird night, didn't I? We ended up going back to Kate's and discovered a suitcase full up with fancy dress clothes. We were off on a dress up extravaganza after that, how her neighbour hasn't complained yet I do not know. I left there at 4:30am. Check it out -

]

This weekend was Vic's 23rd birthday and we decided on a proper old school birthday which included bowling! I kicked arse with 131 points, winner of the girls but over powered by Dan :( Boooo! We went on to Bar 38 and Tiger which was fun times! After Albert Road outing on friday I was pretty knackered by 1:30am though so decided to call it a night. Loved spending the night with my girls and the boys! Me and Bec in Tiger -














Looking forward to a quiet one this weekend and then mammoth epic weekend the weekend after! CALVIN HARRIS! Oh! Oh! Oh! This reminds me - Calvin Harris crashing Jedward on Saturday night was EPIC! LOVED it! 'At the end of the day I had a Pineapple on my head, sorry if I caused any embarrassment.' Hahahaha. Even Scotty has now joined the Calvin bandwagon! Woop woop!

Tweeting Tweets

I never really thought i'd use twitter as much as I do. Generally thought, whats the point in having something exactly the same as facebook? Little did I know it's not anything like facebook and it's actually quite fun!

I have found out some useful, some unuseful and some plain funny things on there. Whether it be that Tim Minchin is on Buzzcocks next week (useful), Tom Mcfly likes to blag free tickets for Greenday shows when some people can't afford to go full stop (unuseful), or Calvin Harris loves to be offered double beans on a little chef breakfast in substitute of something else - 'smashed it' (plain funny).

So far have non-purposefully collected tweets from James Buckley, Calvin Harris and today Tom Fletcher - Mcfly. If anything nice to know they aren't complete hermits from the celebrity world who don't talk to anyone except the people that blag them Greenday tickets. (Yeah, i'm bitter about that! Haha!) I want to go, but can no way afford them and they're on sale today, boo :( Think it would be an amazing show.

If anyone is reading and wants to buy me some Greenday Wembley Stadium tickets i'm well up for it! 07966 704584 is my number to text :D I'm thinking chances of this are slim to none, but worth a try! Considering I have 2 followers (one of which is Paul and the other Scotty) I'm sure neither of them would treat me to this no matter how nice those boys are. Damn!

So last night was devestation city. I drove myself and Becca to Brighton for what was going to be a top night of comedy only to find out Michael McIntyre had cancelled his show because he's got 'flu' - I hope it's swine flu otherwise poor excuse! He better be on top form next Sunday (which is the rescheduled date). There wasn't much else do other than finish our kangeroo in walkabout and pay the £4 for the worthless hours parking in the NCP. Stopped off at Little Chef on the way home, it's so old school they have everything in that place including Little Chef Mints! I was debating buying some for souvenir purposes but they were £1.99 for a really small packet and I thought this was a little steep to be honest.

I hope I don't run out of money by the 15th :/ I shouldn't do...! Here's hoping.

Microwavable Toilet Roll Tubes

Tonight going to see 'Imaginarium of Dr Ponassuss'. There is every chance i've spelt something wrong there but quite frankly I can't be arsed to google it and get it correct. Should be quite good, Heath Ledgers last contibution to film before his untimely death. Dawn and I going to Nandos first - cravings have progressively been getting worse since last Thursday. We were in Brighton when all hope of devouring such delights was dashed right at the very last minute as the queue was out the door and down the street. - Not acceptable. So we're making up for it tonight, fo sho!

I am getting a long awaited hair cut tonight, why my hair decides to grow at the speed of spreading wild fire - i'll never know. Gotta try dash out of work at 4:30pm otherwise i'll be running late for the appointment at 5. Fireworks at St Georges are tonight, so traffic will be a nightmare! (McIntyre GOLD!) Tomorrow is Michael McIntyre, awesome! I'm so so excited! I would imagine there will be a rather large run down of how it went in the next blog - stay tuned!

I've had some pretty weird dreams recently, which have had me thinking. (Whats new?) I had a dream that I was randomly at a Calvin Harris gig (always a good dream!) and for some odd reason I bought 2 tickets off a random guy and got very excited about it because up until this point it was sold out. So I was sat there all chuffed, then realised what he's actually sold me was a piece of paper saying 'Did you really think i'd sold you tickets? Unlucky love, you've been mugged!' or something to that effect. HOW RUDE! I proceeded to get very upset but then later in the dream I some how got in anyway, don't ask me how, it's a dream, anything can happen in dreams clearly! Inside I saw Dave Seton, I don't think we had a conversation but he had a new girlfriend, - not a clue why this entered my dream?! Long short of it - there was a giant foam pit in the middle of the arena which was fun and at the end I some how met Calvin for a pic. I think i've got too much Calvin on the brain, literally starting to become an unhealthy obsession. :/ Oh well!

Tracey has just informed me that Albert (Who is 3 years old) has been asked to bring in some cardboard tubes (kitchen roll, toilet roll etc) to his playschool as they're using them to make something. Oh but hang on, if you bring in toilet roll tubes they have to be MICROWAVED to remove all germs. What a hell load of arse, seriously. Kids are forever sticking their fingers up their noses, hands in their mouths, eating things they're not suppose to, do they really thinking microwaving a toilet roll tube is going to save anyone from death or illness? I wonder if they're giving out instructions on how to microwave a loo roll tube to remove germs? Last time I checked microwaves are for heating/defrosting, no where in the manual does it say 'USE THIS SETTING FOR LOO ROLL DECONTAMINATION'! The world has gone mad. It probably went mad a fair while back to be honest but i'm only just noticing.

Back to the drawing board.

Zombie Nation

A really frickin' good weekend has just passed, so so good i'm going to have to write it all down!

Friday I was planning a night in, alas that never went to plan and I ended up going to Tiger with the siblings + friends. Zane Lowe was DJing in there on his DJ Hero tour. - It was Incredible! Felt like an age waiting for him to come on, but was totally worth the wait! On his twitter he said he was going to drop Calvin Harris Vs Eric Prydz remix of flashback but either I was too wasted to notice or he didn't play it? He played 'I'm not alone 'though which is ALWAYS nice. So acceptable (In the 80's) Ha! No? Okay...

Stayed in Tiger until the end, Damo and Cags disappeared somewhere - snuck off, cheeky! We all went back to Stokesy's for a nightcap and some more tunes! My car was there so Stokesy was kind enough to let me stop on his sofa bed. Slept in my new 'Zane Lowe DJ Hero' t-shirt that I caught! Was most welcome as an extra layer in the cold after we left Tiger for the artic weather. I woke up around 7am decided to drive home as looked an absolute mess! Slept for another couple of hours when I got home before starting my busy day of townage, hair dresser, getting Zombie'd up! I decided to miss footy in favour of the busy day, turns out i'm some kind of jinx as Pompey won a whopping 4-0!!!! Now THAT is what i'm talking about! Hopefully can keep the good form going for Blackburn away this w/e.

So Saturday night was party at Katrina's and then on to Walkabout - which was surprisingly fun! (Walkabout, not Katrina's, Katrina's was always going to be fun!) It was Halloween dress up so I went as a Zombie, Becca was an impressive Mario, Kate donned hair extensions and was a Nun which looked rad, and Vicki was a Lady Bird. All great costumes I thought! Thriller came on in Walkabout and I proceeded to do the 'thriller dance' whatever that is? I think I just made it up. Vicki has a video of us somewhere - here's hoping she never finds the lead to the camera! Went home about 1:30ish I think as the rest of the guys went to Bar 8 and Vicki said she doesn't enjoy it in there, so if Vicki doesn't enjoy it in there the chances are slim to none that I will! Bec, Vic and I went home, i'm sure the others had a great time, wonder what time they got in?! Hopefully we shall re-group at quiz tonight.

Yesterday was mostly spent in house-lounging clothes (yes that's a type of clothes), doing nothing with my appearance and watching TV. Grandparents came for dinner, my god one of the best roasts i've ever had bar Christmas. (As that is the king of all roasts, obvs!) Dad dropped me to get my car, and I popped round Ab's to get my laptop charger for work but that was about as productive as it got. (Fun huh?) Watched the second half of the City match ish, whilst trying to get a few moments of shut eye. We looked after Ferris all afternoon and my Dad was not too pleased when he came in to find my mum has put our 'best rug' on him to keep him warm, hahah. Awwh, poor little Fez.

Pretty much just sat around waiting for X Factor - again those moronic twins are still in the competition. It's beyond a joke. "What do you call a woman with two cunts?" - "John and Edwards Mother." Some say a bit harsh and uncalled for, I beg to differ! Was very pleased for Danyl as felt so so sorry for him this week. Olly was immense and was obvious he was going to get through. Thought Lloyd would go when it got down to it, but glad Rachel went. She was a tad boring to be honest. Rearranged my CD collection and finally settled down in bed to watch Tim Minchin Live on E4. Good way to round off a quality weekend. Although I think due to the qualityness (yes, a word!) WW may have a slight downfall this week!

Canvas Bags

Well isn't that just hilarious? Nice little text from B Moore to inform me of JUST how much of an absolute prick some people can be. Ho hum.

Yesterday I went to Brighton to see Tim Minchin, - Oh.My.Days. He was WICKED! So so awesome. I definitely regret not finding out about him sooner! A sensational performer, he got a standing ovation, this is how good he is. Playing songs with lyrics "Only a ginger, can call another ginger Ginger." Hahah. I treated myself to a programme with which I got a free canvas bag, yippee! the only down side was minimal leg room in the Dome but I could definitely deal with it for Tim. I still can't get over how good he was! He rounded the evening off with a really awesome sentimental song about his family too, which was a nice touch. -

"And if, my baby girl
When you're twenty-one or thirty-one
And Christmas comes around
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
You'll know what ever comes
Your brother and sister and me and your Mum
Will be waiting for you in the sun"

How cute is that? He's Australian so I guess that is what the sun bit is all about. I asked Dawn if it was a bit wrong I found him slightly attractive, luckily she said no and that she liked him too, ha!

I am now looking forward to my next comedy venture - Michael McIntyre! I may need to bring some sort of face wipe due to mascara issues which are inevitable.

Chilling tonight with a movie, and tomorrow - Halloweeeeeen! Yay! Excited for dress up, heheh!

Sleepless in Seattle

I had the most surreal sleep last night, I was SO comfortable all snuggled in the quilt but I think I must have had some weird dreams because I woke up feeling kind of odd. It was pretty dark in the room, I got up to go to the loo (I know you wanted to know that) and I thought to myself 'Hmm must be able 4am' - came back into my room which can only have been 30 - 60 seconds later to what seemed like sudden break of dawn, at this point I realised it was 6:15 and I was due to wake up in 15 minutes anyway. DISAPPOINTED MUCH. I snoozed until 7:15 to make up for it. HA! Take that sleep pattern.

Friday I went out with Kate and we pretty much got smashed. I'd been drinking so much Cider recently i'd forgotten what effect vodka has on me. (Not a good one may I add.) Despite this we had an awesome night, I did kareoke...we won't go into that. Ended up after Scandals and Reg in Hampshire Boulevard, probably the biggest gay bar in Portsmouth. By this time i'd already stuck my head in a road traffic cone on the floor of hampshire terrace so to be honest i'd lost the will to care where I was or what music I was attempting 'cool' dance moves to. Had a great time in there until there was some handbags fist fight and we decided to go home. Kate got us some water to drink before bed - I woke up in the morning to an untouched pint of water next to me, hahaha. No wonder I felt hungover to the max. Saturday AND Sunday were spent recovering although Sunday I put my cake talent to use and made a black forest gateau which may I add went down a storm at work! Woohoo!

Last night we went to quiz as usual but this time Charis and Dan were there! The first time i'd seen them since their pretty awesome wedding in July. Man, I miss her sooooo much! Was great to see her and Dan and they looked extra happy so this was good news all round. We did average in the quiz although I was totally stoked that the randomness of Alan Laws is the reason I knew that Raleigh was a city in North Carolina which was the answer to one of the questions. Made me look smart for all of 10 seconds, totally worth it. Tonight Mother is going to Newton Faulkner at the guildhall, so I will be sat around watching Ugly Betty and being sad over my laptop which bye the way took 'blue screen of death' to a whole other level last night. Instead of the usual crap I get all over the screen it only had a few lines on display one of which said "Fatal System Error". I've come to the conclusion that anything with the word 'fatal' in it is anything but good news. I think we know what i'll be buying with my £2,000!

Fairy fixed my interior light last night, I didn't even think the 205 had the capability of doing that thing when you open the door the light comes on?! Apparently it does and the light had just broken - whaddya know?! Hoorah! Makes it seem a little more cooler than it already was, although not sure if that is possible cos it is officially the coolest wagon in Portsmouth.

Saturday is Kate's Halloween party and I am SO excited! Yes yes yes! I've got my Zombie outfit from last year which is still looking pretty great and i've booked in with Daisy to get my hair done on Saturday some crazy haloween style, going all out! Round Kate's for a party, then we're all going out and i'll hopefully meet up with Abs, Ads, Damo, Stokes, Cags, Len + others. Kate's house is going to look like a proper scary grotto! Going to help her decorate on saturday ready for halloween goodness! Hmm crap we're playing Wigan at home, balls. I'm going to have to try and work around this. Hmm early to Kates and hopefully hairdresser after 5?! An actual miracle if I can work this.

Caio for now bambinos!

Greed Kills More People Than Whiskey

Greed looks good on nobody.

Friday night I went to Kates, we watched some weird programme about rudetube videos or something. Video that was actually number 1 was not even worthy of being in the top 10 IMO. However, there was a good video about some farmer that put lights on his sheep and they'd run around in different shapes. Looked awesome! Haha. Easily pleased, clearly.

Saturday was easily the worst day of the weekend. I spent the day getting pissed off at us losing to Spurs even though we definitely didn't deserve to and that little poison swarf got sent off which pleased me and made the pain ever so slightly lighter. I spent the first portion of the night watching X Factor, confirming I love both Olly and Danyl. Olly especially. Mmhm! The later evening consisted of me going to Sarah's birthday party, then being coaxed into going to Yates and spending the rest of the night/early hours of morning being the ultimate 3rd wheel. If there was a prize for biggest 3rd wheel, I would have won it hands down.

Sunday however was AWESOME. Back at Thorpe Park for the second time in 2 weeks, i'm not addicted I swear! Fight Night - 10-10, so freakin' quality!

- PEOPLE IN ASYLUM
- Hellgate
- Jermain Defoe
- My Dad being away

Mandala

After watching a mammoth load of One Tree Hill recently I figure the creator must love Explosions because a lot of the episodes are names after EITS songs, which I think is kind of cool. Just to point that out.

Anyway, I put in lots of hardwork this week on the WW front and was VERY disappointed yesterday. Boo me. Hopefully next week I will start to see results - result! Tonight i'm going to Cinema with Dawny, off to see 'Couples Retreat' which is the new Vince Vaughn movie. If it's not in the least bit good I will be stunned as I freakin' love Vince Vaughn and the goodness he brings to a movie screen. It was either that or some new one with Jennifer Aniston and however good she is in friends most of her movies are generally dull as dish water. Gonna meet for a couple of drinks before hand and then scoot on over to the movie for 21:20. Orange Wednesdays is possibly one of the best things ever to be invented.

I THINK i'm going to Thorpe Park on Sunday for Fright Night, at least this is the plan. If this turns out not to be the case i'm going to be very sad :o( few people already dropped out but Sara and me are definitely up for it so hopefully we'll still go. Rollercoasters in the dark - I defy anyone who says that isn't awesome! No doubt Scotty will have something to say he always seems to ruin my happy mood, Subo, Senile, Old, Kasabian hating. Pfft. Damn you Scotty.

I recently ordered the White Lies album i'm hoping it will arrive today! £3.98 from amazon, I figured I need to start listening to it because i've got tickets to see him on 1st Dec and need to brush up on the album! 29th Oct i'm off to Brighton with Dawny to see Tim Minchen, shall be awesome for sure then on 5th Nov i've got Michael McIntyre also in Brighton, CANNOT WAIT for McIntyre. He is an absolute legend and I am excited for the prospect of laughing to hard I crack a rib. Totally worth it.

I thought I owned a copy of Lights and Sounds by Yellowcard, I kept hearing songs from this abum on OTH and it just reminded me of about 5 years ago when I used to LOVE them. Not so much now but I wanted to bring back the memories and it was only £1.91 on amazon so....naturally I bought it! I really need some RX Bandits albums in my life too. I have some on copy but they're just literally sensational and definitely one of the best bands i've ever seen live, at least 7 or 8 times!

Just discovered RXB are releasing 'Mandala' on 26th OCT. Best news ever.

EDIT: Apparently i've been mugged off. you can already purchase this album on various websites. :(

XOXO

"So pretty much the last few weeks have been amazing! Been totally forgetting about issue numero uno, but sadly it's still *THERE*. Pfft. Seriously did not see this happening."

Just reading back through some previous blogs and felt compelled to say this. I wrote the above comment back in July and I distinctly remember Simon reading it and saying 'you referred to me as Numero Uno' - Hahaha, I just sort of went along with it but for the record I most definitely wasn't referring to him. It was just one of my many issues, the issue that is always there. But I don't mind it so much anymore :)

Been at Bec's tonight watching X Factor, totally loved Danyl - thought Dannii was bang out of order. Also big love for Olly! Said bye to her as she's off to Cuba tomorrow night for 15 whole days, I will miss her dearly. Hmph :( Got Fright Night next Sunday though to cheer me up, well excited! Will be a world away from the last time I was at thorpe park, still SO stoked about that btw! Hoorah!!! I keep waking up and thinking about it, and how freakin' AWESOME it is/was. Ahh!

Great time at the balti house last night with the work peeps, although definitely did not have a great time when I accidentally headbutted a glass straight on. I was laughing hysterically at something I can only imagine wasn't even that funny because I can't even remember what it is now, when I stupid dipped my head and cracked it straight on a glass. Right between the eyes! It now hurts severely to even frown or raise my eye brows. Having any sort of emotion which involves eye brows is not an option. Bad times. I don't even think anybody saw me do it! I kind of had to carry on laughing and laughing so much I shed tears in the hope I would cover it up that they're not tears of laughter rather tears of physical PAIN. I seriously do not even know how I managed to hit it so hard. OW!

Can't wait for parents to return from holiday on Monday mostly so I can tell them ALL about the show! Also partly because I am rubbish at keeping a 3 bedroom house tidy! Although I do deserve some sort of credit because I have cleaned the kitchen, watered the plants AND put 3 loads of washing on! Check me out. Housewife at the ready, woohoo! Tomorrow is the day for visiting grandparents and maybe attempting tocook some kind of one man roast. Wish me luck!

- How much am I loving Season 3 Gossip Girl, All seasons One Tree Hill and NEW GREYS! TV whore for sure.

xoxo.

What a difference a year makes, no?

Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago?
How did they work out?
Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on accout of most of them?
Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?

The things I was worrying about a year ago, were not things to be worried about. The things I was thinking exactly a year ago, i'm still thinking about today and for this reason I should possibly be slightly worried. I've always wanted to be such a care free person, live life to the full, not care what anyone else thinks etc. I suppose I do, do this to an extent, but not as much as I would like. How did it work out? Well it worked out possibly the worst anything could work out ever. If anyone is thinking that i'm making no sense or waffling on about a load of rubbish then you'd be right but I don't write this down for anybodys benefit but mine. Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Yes, I absolutely, 100%, did. Although, even though I definitely regard it as the biggest waste of my time, I don't think I have any regrets. (Yeah, I appreciate that doesn't make any sense either.) Didn't most of them turn out all right after all? No, no it definitely did not. Maybe for one party but not the other. It's a difficult feeling to keep detained, to keep down, to keep and never let up. I'm pretty sure this isn't the way things are suppose to turn out.

Aside from any old emotions, I am really enjoying the seasonal weather. It's got that cosey wintery feel. It's freezing cold outside, I can't wait for it to get colder! I'm going to purchase big scarves and thick jumpers! Also a pair of boots is must, going to spend a teensy bit of cash on those! The air has that winter smell, which i'm sure is probably some sort of pollution but it works for me. Soon it'll feel just like last year;- aimlessly driving around in the 205, listening to Kings of Leon, over thinking everything and singing at the top of my voice.

As for the present it's the balti house and albert road visit tonight. Yay!

P.S - It's hidden very well these days.

BUZZING!

And given I don't like bee's this is extraordinary!

Mate, seriously, so freakin' awesome! A nice little pay check coming my way early next year, I CANNOT WAIT! Gina Yashere is clearly a legend and I can't believe I didn't realise this sooner. All hail Gina, cos she is awesome!

Nothing and I mean NOTHING is going to bring me down from this awesome week not even the idiot who thinks he can text me with a 'good luck' and think it's okay! How about "hello"? How about "how are you doing since I WAS A COMPLETE DOUCHBAG?" But no! Oh well, if you're reading this, I am fine! Case closed.

Can't actually wait until my parents get back from hols so I can tell them all about it! Yay!

WW is in full force and so far so good. Seen some old pics of me today that Kate had kindly added to facebook, they are so funny. Ah, the good old days.

I'm going back to buzzing because I have had the COOLEST week ever. Caio!

Best day EVER!

So Monday was pretty much the best day ever!

I can't say huge amounts about it but it was literally awesome, watch out for me on TV sometime between January 2010 and beginning of Summer 2010! Channel Watch.

HELL TO THE YEAH!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

It was all yellow

I feel rather amazing today. I'm not sure why I was even bothered a couple of days back, clearly not worth it!

I am sooooooo looking forward to this weekend! So so so excited I can't contain myself. COLDPLAY - I can't wait for the show, it's just going to be amazing. I can't believe Abs is in NYC. I'm very jealous about this, however, Coldplay at Wembley is not a bad second best ;) Looking forward to seeing this town house in kings cross too! Lots of pics will be taken and muchos fun is to be had!

I'm watching VMA's AGAIN. I keep seeing stuff I missed though! Kanye West totally dissed Taylor Swift, it was all very rude. Lady Gaga looked like a completed wacko, which i'm fairly sure she is tbh. Why would you wear an outfit that covered your entire face with a lace crown?!

Anyone else think Perez Hilton is pretty much the most annoying person ever? Ew.

Was watching Champions League but have been sidetracked again...whoops!

CANCER

CANCER - The Beauty

Most amazing kisser, very high appeal.
A Cancer's Love is one of a kind.
Very romantic.
Most caring person you will ever meet in your life.
Entirely creative Person, most are artists and insane respectfully speaking.
They perfected sex and do it often.
Extremely random.
An Ultimate Freak.
Extremely funny and is usually the life of the party.
Most cancers will take you under their wing and into their hearts where you will remain forever. Cancers make love with a passion beyond compare Spontaneous.
Not a Fighter, But will kick your ass good if it comes down to it.
Someone you should hold on to!

I don't think many of these are true about me, and i'm quite alarmed with 'An Ultimate Freak' hahahaha, oh dear.

Chain emails are definitely not to be followed! :/

Take a Bow

Like an actual bullet to my heart.

Trust no one, clearly. Every time I let my guard down something fucking stupid happens to ruin it. I never ever ever EVER though this would happen, generally because I didn't think some people could genuinely be like this. Of all the times I was made to feel like the worst person in the world - literally 'omfg'.

I'm mostly sad because out of all my friends i've been the one to say there will be someone, to not give up, not all men are the same blah blah blah. Now I feel like a tool because this is further evidence that Becca is right and i'm clearly living in a deluded world. I don't think i've been this upset in a very very long time, I thought I was on the up to be honest with this game show fun about to happen, Coldplay at Wembley next weekend etc. Apparently not.

I actually am a little speechless and I decided that to cut most of it out is the way forward. I won't have to see it, deal with it, let it bring me down every single day. There are many definitions of 'bad times' but this possibly being the most apt. Liars are actually the worst people in the world, and for those of you that think covering things up because you think the other person will be 'hurt' does NOT count for a reason to let you off the hook. My actual God.

"You put on quite a show,
Really had me going,
But now it's time to go,
Curtain's finally closing,
That was quite a show,
Very entertaining,
But it's over now,
Go on and take a bow." 

FML

A rollercoaster of emotions over the past few weeks, but feeling entirely better now. Going to Sheffield tomorrow, woop woop! Excited. My last few weeks have included, getting together, breaking up, extreme drunkness, cinema, london, game show audition and more pub.

www.fmylife.com is possibly the funnest thing i've found in a while. To the point where 'Fuck My Life' is being used in every day conversations between friends.

Here are some of the best from the page -

"Today, I discovered the guy that sits next to me in class is actually a girl. Not only is that bad, but we had to write a paper about each other. I used the words "him" and "he", and read it to the whole class. FML"

"Today, I was able to check my voicemail and email for the first time in two weeks. The only message I got was from my landlord telling me that the house I'm renting is in foreclosure, and I needed to have all my stuff out in ten days. He left the message nine days ago. FML"

"Today, I went to my school to take my yearbook picture. I was wearing a shirt that said ANALOG on the front. When I bent in to take the picture, part of my shirt overlapped itself. Now I'm known as the ANAL kid in the yearbook. FML"

"Today, I received a text message from my favorite sister saying "Great news! The technology in condoms has improved so much that they ensure that accidents like you won't ever happen again!" Today's my birthday. FML"

"Today, I had a stressful day at work and decided to go in the jacuzzi. I hadn't used it for a year, so it was a little dirty. After I cleaned it, filled it up, and jumped in, I pressed the jets. Immediately, thousands of dead moths shot out at full speed towards me. FML"

"Today, my best friend informed me that I could not be her maid of honour because I "wasn't as pretty as the other bridesmaids" and she wanted her wedding photos to have "consistancy". FML"

"Today, and for the last 8 months my upstairs neighbours have been making a tremendous noise. I finally decided to go up to complain: "The amount of noise you make is unbelievable ! It sounds like you're driving tractors up here!". The woman replies: "My husband is paraplegic..." FML"

Inglourious Basterd.

Well, i've managd to successfully ruin something which was very important to me. How did that happen? It actually amazes me how I manage to do this to myself more than once.

Kate returned from Turkey and I got a text "Hey, how are you? Been up to much? Any goss?x" I think she was rather taken a back when I replied with "Well I managed to start AND end a relationship whilst you were gone, a new record I think :(" The reply of "Oh dear, Grem." said it all. I find it hard to believe anybody would ever feel that way about me, and i've come to the conclusion I need to learn to socially accept myself (If that makes any sense). Cos at the moment, I just get freaked out by any genuine interest which inturn leads me to be a complete moron. Tbh I thought I was doing him a favour, rather than myself. I've ended up feeling probably the worst ever about it. Complete and utter fail.

I've been trying to forget about it to be honest, but it's niggling away at my teeny tiny brain. ARGH! Atleast this weekend I have V festival and I am EVER SO excited to be attending. I am mostly excited about Calvin Harris on Saturday night, I can't even stress how excited! eeeee!! Should be good attending a new festival, with new people and it's Dawn's first festi, so got to make sure she has a great time! Heading off tomorrow at 10am, going to Asda for supplies of alcohol and food! Hell, I need something to drag me out of this black hole.

Saw Inglourious Basterds last night, it was flippin' immense. I really loved it. Not sure why there is so much bad press about it, I thought it was quality. Highly recommend it, deffo go and see!

DoE (Day of Education)

So I basically just made up 'DoE' but I think it works nicely. Since work is the most quiet EVER I am spending a small portion of my day clicking the 'Random Article' Button on Wikipedia.

Here are some of the things I have been learning about -

Mostek (Trutnov District) is a village and municipality in Trutnov District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic....

Anna Coren (born April 9, 1975) is an Australian journalist who reports and presents for CNN , and until October 2008 was employed by the the Seven Network and host of the East Coast edition of Today Tonight.

The Paznaun is a valley in Tyrol, Austria leading south-west from Pians (850 m) to the Bielerhöhe (2036 m), a mountain pass at the border of Vorarlberg and Tyrol.

Lubomira Kurhajcova (Ľubomíra Kurhajcová) (born October 11, 1983 in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia) is a Slovak female professional tennis player. She reached her career high singles ranking of No. 59 on May 24, 2004. Although she never passed the first round of a Grand Slam in seven appearances, she did get close at the 2004 French Open when she led Lisa Raymond 6–0, 5–0 in the first round and held two match points, only to lose the match 0–6, 7–5, 6–3.^[1]

Holly Kristen Piirainen (January 19, 1983 – August 5, 1993) was a ten-year-old American murder victim from Grafton, Massachusetts. She and her brother had been visiting their grandparents in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. (Nice...)

Two for the Road is an album by jazz guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, released in 1974. It was the last recording issued by the two guitarists together.

BORED. I've learnt sod all.

V FESTIVAL ON FRIDAY! 2 more sleeps! Calvin Harris on Saturday night, OH YES! Excitment.

So excited that i've calvinised myself -

Evening in the queue behind the ladybird lady.

So last night I was mind-numbingly bored so got dressed and went to the Reg to meet Simon. Little did I know there was the BIGGEST queue i've ever seen outside. It was like queuing for a ride at Thorpe Park when you know being in the queue for over an hour is worth it, except this was being in the queue and it totally NOT being worth it.

It was nice to see Simon and meet the friends of his I hadn't met before, so at least I had a good time even if I was only in the until 11 having got in at 10:15! Maxi very kindly bought me a drink for which I must re-pay him for when we next go out. I left at 11, picked up Luca as he requested a trip to the bank. We ate weird but yum chocolate marshmallow things and stopped off at the kwiki mart for Cherry 7up! Sat on the beach wall for a while chatting about things and spent a while trying to decide whether it was a star we could see in the sky or a plane. It never moved so I came to the conclusion it was a Pingu party coming to town. Bahaha. Not a bad evening even though it started off with the dreaded queue behind a girl talking about how she makes ladybird houses....erm...wtf.

Work is offering me jack all to do right now, so here's some more holymoly -

Compare the Meerkat.com -

"We're done with this now, thankyou."

Lifts at work -

"People sprinting for the lift when it arrives; then shoving some part of their fat carcus in the way of doors to stop it closing as if their worthless life depends on it. Fuck off, another one will be along shortly; im trying to get out of the bastard building! Then to round it off, someone gets in on the first floor. IS THAT A JOKE?!"

Kids in Supermarkets -

"If it's going to scream, shout, throw things on the floor, skid about on it's heelies, 'help' you push the trolley (into the backs of people's legs) and generally be a little shite, it should not surprise you when the corner of my basket accidentally smacks it in the face."

Cocaine users -

"Boring, self centered, socially inept and insecure cunts. Roll on the mental health issues and erectile dysfunction."

Michael Jackson Fans outside the O2 -

"Haven't they heard?"

Peter Jones -

"You clearly don't need the money, so why embarrass yourself with that cringeworthy moneysupermarket advert you absolute twange."

Moooooovies

So many films I wanna see right now.

My Sisters Keeper
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The Ugly Truth
Time Traveller's wife
Ice Age 3
Bruno
Orphan
The Proposal


+ more.

Hmm. Saw Public Enemies on friday, it was okay. Definitely should not have drank 2 pints before going in.

July times.

So pretty much the last few weeks have been amazing! Been totally forgetting about issue numero uno, but sadly it's still *THERE*. Pfft. Seriously did not see this happening.

Vic, Me, Bec and Leas booked Ayia Napa on Monday 6th July to jet off on Sunday 12th, for a week. It was quality! We had a beautiful apartment, with a lovely pool which we were in most of the time! Went on some crazy nights out until we ran out of money! Went to a place called Bedrock two nights in a row for a silent disco, omg was so much fun! 2 Euro for some massive headphones and it was the most bizarre thing you've ever seen. Loads of people singing along to the same song having a dance, yet when you remove the headphones you could easily talk to the person next to you and hear them reasonably well. Yes, easily impressed! Went to Waterworld which was the biggest waterpark in Europe, it was awesome! Paid 30 euros for the privilege but it was definitely worth it. I would really like to go back there, no sleazy men, no massive chavs just pretty much party central if you want it, quite beachy bit if you don't. All for £310! We had the most incredible mexican meal one night, and a couple of nights we ate in our apartment. A great get away. Deffo recommend Ayia Napa! The only down side to my holiday was that I gfot some horrendous rash all over my hands and some of my feet, swelled hands and little bumpy things ew! Had to go to the hospital and pay 90 Euro for the privilege of an injection, fucking rip off! Rang Damo in tears as had to ask him to pay - did I hell have 90 Euro?! Wankers. Worked though to be fair, lol.

With our nice tan's we went to Charis and Dan's wedding on Saturday and it was beautiful, such a lovely wedding can't believe our Charis is married! They looked so happy and it was a lovely day. On Friday me and Vic went to Kate's to do nails and do some prep, I ended up getting really drunk I don't even know what happened possibly because i had eaten two slices of bread all day but I had 3 pints?! - Shameful. Simon told me to drink water before bed but did I listen? Did I fuck, totally regretted it in the morning. Woke up at 06:30am with a mouth like Ghandi Sandals and felt rough as nuts. That was not the way round my friday and saturday was suppose to go! We left the wedding after Charis and Dan went to do the deed ;) Ha! Went back to Sam's it was like back in the day when I used to crash on his floor at the weekends after partys and go and do my paper round, hahaha! Good memories. Was nice to reminisce a bit, with all the old crew gathered together.

Yesterday I did sod all, and i'm trying to get my petrol to last until Thursday morning. Fingers crossed! Must go for a run tonight, after i've popped into Cartek as there seems to be something wrong with my bonnet. Hmph.

Nev visiting on Thurs for 4 days, should be fun! Woop!

OMFG. LIFE. RUINED.

In the space of a week, my phone broke, my car broke and now basically my life is broke. What did I ever do? SERIOUSLY.

Fucking bad times all round. The actual last thing I see before I went to sleep last night, i'm beginning to worry about my mental health tbh.

Gay.

Birthday Bonanza.

Some proper good times of late even if it's still bothering me. I sometimes wonder if it will ever not bother me, still waiting. BOTHERED? Yes.

My birthday was last friday and I had the most amazing night! 22 of my friends and family came out for a Curry on Albert road. Everything went to plan, it was a darn success! We all went to Wine Vaults and then Iain, James, Kate, Vicki, Becca and me carried on to One Eyed Dog and Scandals. All went back to Kate's and ended up leaving at 4:30am and going to bed when it was light - something that feels ever so wrong. I'm still tired now to be honest!

Had a BBQ for Kev's 50th at our house on Sunday, drank too much, bad times. Was so much fun though and Sim finally met the parents + other family. It went well, I thought.

Vic, Bec, Leanne and myself booked a holiday yesterday! On Sunday we are off to Nissi Beach, Cyprus in Ayia Napa! Never saw myself going there to be fair but I reckon it'll be MUCH fun! And there is an immense water park there witrh some crazy slides which I am looking forward to! Girls on hols, wahey! Leaving Sunday at 08:30am woop woop! Talking of which I need to research how to get to Gatwick at a ridiculous hour...

Need to get on with some work - EITS tickets came and I randomly got guestlist for Kasabian last night which was amazing! They were quality, definitely see them again.

Caio for now.

Wedding Day!!

MY BROTHER IS GETTING MARRIED TODAY! WAHOOO!!!

Dublin 2009

I say 2009, as I am likely to spend many more time in Dublin. It is SUCH a nice City and it's kinda cool to know my way around mostly now.

I've been doing so much stuff over the past weeks, seeing Simon a lot which is kind of strange because i've known him for years having worked a Pageone with him, but only recently started to talk more and more and hang out. Turns out it is becoming a regularity and last night we took a trip to the beach, sat around and talked. Then we drove to Hayling Island and had a drink over the Harbour watching the sunset. - What is this cheese I hear you say? Yeah well, not done anything like that before and it was like the mooovies, so hush. It was fairly romantic until some bloke in his boat shouted 'Oh fucking hell!' which made me crease, ruined the moment but totally worth it. It was nice to see him after i'd been away for the weekend :)

Friday I went to Dublin for Cag's Hen weekend! Oh my the Shenanigans we had. We had a nightmare journey where the airport pick up didn't turn up for over an hour, (much cider/beer was had whilst we waited which killed the pain tbh) then when we finally got to the apartments some bint on reception with the spazziest customer service i'd ever seen says there is a problem. Mum went a a bit mental and in the end calmed down and it was fine. Problem was solved and off we trot to our apartment IN THE BASEMENT. It was a lush apartment, but it was IN THE BASEMENT. Not acceptable to be fair. And they expected me to sleep with a mere blanket instead of a quilt. Are they mental?! Clearly. Changed uber quickly in my fame attire and off we went to a bar named buskers where we each had a shooter, a cocktail and we got to choose another cocktail and go behind the bar and make it ourselves! I had passionfruit mojito and it was heaven to be fair. Then I went behind the bar and made a Passionfruit Daquiri. I went on a bit of a mad passionfruit extravaganza but it was totally amazing. I think I could be professional cocktail maker* tbh. *That is the official term. 

Went into another bar, Lizzie was the only smoker out of all of us so when we were all leaving she'd disappeared. Little Karen and I went to find her, finally found her and by the time we'd got outside everyone else had fucked off! So we met some random Irish fella's in the street who took us to the same cocktail bar we were in previously, got bought cocktails which was nice considering they were 10 Eur each! :-/ I don't even know how we managed it but we roamed the streets and got food and got in at 5am! I didn't think it was that late until I woke up at 10:45am due to the darkness of the basement and realise we were suppose to be at Guiness Factory at 10....tad late! Guiness factory was fun though, especially enjoyed the advertising bit. Went to lunch in a place called O'neill's (No not the pub chain) - which was nice. I had a humungous piece of fish and chunky chips, unhealthy but whatever. I then went wondering by myself, managed to get my phone working after it didn't work for the first day. Found an AMAZING shop called BT2's which has the best selection of Pauls Boutique bags i've ever seen. I could have happily died there. I wondered round some more shops, and then my feet really started to hurt like nobody's business so I walked back to the apartment to have a kip before outing number 2. I got shifted to the edge of my sofa bed mid sleep as Mum and Karen wanted to stick britains got talent on...was not happy about this as was asleep! BGT was immense though. Put my party dress on and we headed out. Walking a long way in heels is never a good plan, not sure why I even tried it. Had to swap shoes with Max when we got to the bar which was a GOD SEND! Had Passionfruit Martini (I think I tried everything passionfruit tbh, soooo good though!) and it was amazing! We danced in a club a bit like Tiger, but actual better. Haha. Got in about 1:30am, had a posh kebab, just. I was at the counter and they're going "Order 106" I'm there shouting "Hey, who is 106?!" Turns out it's me. Whoops. Sunday was Emily day, officially. Met up with Nev and we went to the Zoo. Dublin Zoo, looked amazing but in actual fact half the animals were missing/hiding. It was like the Sahara dessert in all fairness but still! Alas, we did see Giraffe's, Penguins, Cows, Donkeys, smallest horse in the world!, what looked like a mouflon but was actually a goat, a Rhino and some other weird ones. We sat in the park in some comfortable silence and soaked up the rays. I took off my shoes and it was a lovely, lovely afternoon. I walked along the wall by the river like a child, which was fun, ha! Nev and I will be going to see EitS in Sheffield in September, which i'm excited about as never seen them before and it can't be anything other than amazing. I will eat my own arm if it's crap. Okay, that would be stupid but you get my point.

Flight home was not bad, got home about 22:45, was in dire need of a foot spa as my feet were shreads tbh. Did that and then konked out. Realised today i've been driving without Car Tax, so tried to get Car Tax and my MOT has run out...so I also need MOT. I am so illegal, oopsy. Damo is fitting me in for MOT tomorrow. Phewph! My car is literally a heap of nugget though so will probably fail. I really need it to not fail because I have plans to go to sunnymead and watch the apprenctice....hmph!

Sleep calls, so I bid farewell. I just had to document this weekend of amazingness. 

Caio.

Traffic Wardens:

"Take the wheel of my van you spineless cunt and YOU try and make a delivery on a busy high street without parking on double yellow lines. Yes I know there are 'loading bays' but they are currently occupied by cunty car drivers 'nipping in' to the bank/post office. Why aren't you fucking them over instead of making my already hard job harder?"

Kill your speed Advert:

"Bloke spends his day seeing the dead body of a kid he knocked over. Goes shopping - dead body. Brushes teeth - corpse. Can't sleep - mangled child. Slight flaw here, the kid is a fucking ginger. Surely it encourages speeding if the end result is a flat duracel on the pavement? No harm, no foul here. They are a fair game, day-glo, water for blood, beacon for bonnets, target.

Confused.com Advert:

"How can a website be very friendly? That 'random' cunt in the purple t-shirt can fuck off as well."

Work:

"Just because you are very lucky to even have a job, does not make it less shit."

WH Smith:

"Can I interest you in some Galaxy chocolate for 99p? No, or I'd have picked some up myself. Isn't that how a shop is supposed to work? Still, nice response to the national obesity crisis."

has been replaced with mountains of gold, you cannot dream yourself to notice to feel pain and swallow fear, but can you stay up for the weekend for next year.

God I can’t do this any more, though ill be laid down on the floor, as many feet walk through the door.

I’m not alone

If I see a light flashing, could this mean that I’m coming home?
If I see a man waving, does this mean that I’m not alone?

YES.

May day, May day

So this weekend was fun times. Abby turned 30, we had a great party on friday night which involved mexican food and tequila! Was great fun, everybody who is everybody was round and it ended around 2am. Abby asking me how to work her new iPod at 1am did not go down well. Slept on the couch again, was quite comfy! Saturday I finally decided to move home, just wasn't able to actually have a life down there which was quite sad so I figure moving home is the best option. Most people supportive, few people absolute dicks about it but it's fine! When I moved out my parents destroyed all my furniture, which now means my room is a pile of clothing plus lots of bags and boxes and they think they're going to clean the carpet - Good luck!

Saturday was the footy, got thumped by Arsenal 3-0. Gay. Got a hair cut, left the hair place at 2:35 - managed to go home get my season ticket AND drive to the footy, park and make it in there with a min to spare! Well in. Saturday night was Abster's birthday party, had a great time with everyone and got to know Han a little more. How delightful she is. Looking forward to hanging out a little more. Got horrendously drunk and could barely walk, fell off the stage onto some guitar pedals, what the fuck was I thinking SINGING on stage. Good Christ. Apologies all round. Fell into bed when I got home, Danielle apparently walked in on my naked but I seriously have no recollection of this which is rather worrying!

Sunday I felt like death so did sod all. Monday I moved EVERYTHING out. Planned to take another trip tonight but Luke kindly offered to help me take the last of the stuff to we piled up the estate and off we went! Aside from the Headcandy music, it was fun and moving goes.

Soooo good to sleep comfortably last night, with more than 1 thin pillow. Back to eating normally.

So i've been listening to lots of different music recently (Well, different for me anyway!)

I need these albums in my life:

Calvin Harris - Created Disco
Daniel Merriweather - Love & War
The Maccabees - Wall of Arms
Maximo Park - Quicken the Heart
Marmaduke Duke - Duke Pendemonium
Enter Shikari - Common Dreads (See what those boys are producing these days!)
La Roux - La Roux
Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
Bloc Party - Intimacy Remixed
Sigur ros - Von


Plus more. Please.

Yes please.

Fairwell to the fairground

Typing is probably the worst thing I could be doing right now due to severe joint pain in my thumb but hell life's not worth living if you don't do stupid stuff.

There is a meeting taking place shortly which will undoubtedly be full of boring old rubbish so i'm making most of the short time I have before it. I have been drinking 'Defence' juice today, i'm hoping it has some sort of magical powers which in turn make me 'defend' myself and everything I dislike. So far not happened but it's early doors....

Paid on wednesday which will be fabulous. Need to remember to completely clear off my overdraft so I don't get myself in any kind of mess again, deffo not needed! Need to find something to wear to Abby's birthday, get a hair cut and all sorts of other things. Busy lady!

This weekend was rather eventful, Friday night went out with the girls and we planned to hit up Babylon for soe 90's rave tunes but alas we ended up seeing a bunch of people we used to hang out with when we were 15 and everyone else wanted to follow them all to the shit hole that is Walkabout. I protested but was clear I was literally the only one with a problem so ended up saying what the hell and going in. Karolina from IBM was on the door so she let me in for free which is always welcome! It was going well until we found a drugged up/drunk girl in the toilet literally passed out. She had her bag open on her lap, camera on her wrist a wet patch which i'm still not sure the nature of - she'd either pissed herself or spilt a drink in a very unfortunate place. We got help from a security woman who I thought was quite nice, she turned out to be the exact opposite but that's for later. The girl ended up throwing chunks on the security's shoes. Bahaha, unlucky! So anyway, Bec and I escaped having done our good deed, I then got a call from Ian and ventured into the smoking area to hear him. Was full of chav's couldn't hear a thing, and so went actual outside onto the street to take the call. Call ended and I try to get back in, the woman says 'No, nobody else being let in.' I explain my friends are in there, staying at my house so I can't just leave them. I needed to get in to find them etc. She was the biggest jobsworth this country has ever seen so after milling around outside for a short whlie and nobody answering phones I slid under the barrier and found Becca. Next thing I know security bitch has got her hand wrapped around my wrist so tight yanking me across the floor and pushing me out the door. Eventually Becca came out and we went home, shared the story with my Dad and to say he was less than pleased is an understatement. He called walkabout to give them a piece of his mind. They're in the process of looking through their CCTV and the manager said I should have been offered to give my name to the DJ for him to annouce I was outside she security moron offer me this? Did she fuck. Before I decided to commit crime of the century and pass under the barrier I spoke to a random girl in the smoking area she said 'Tell them you know the DJ Andy, they will let you in.' So there I am at the door 'The DJ's my mate Andy, yeah!' LOL most convincing performance ever. Bec and I ended up going home meeting James half way, going to Kwiki Mart in odd slippers and a cowboy hat....totally random.

Saturday night went to the most horrendous party with the parents, I left because it was that bad. Met James, went to slug for a drink. He ended up going to some thing called 'The Drake..' I decided against this as Abster was staying at mine so met her in Soprano's for some wine then we got back to my house around midnight. Ended up getting text from Damo and heading back out AT 12:30 to LJR's! Damo, Cags, Me, Abs, Stokesy and Luke all walked back to Stokesy's for rave central - Damo and Cags went home around 3 and we all went to sleep about 4:30am, Abs and I pulled out the sofa bed, Luke slept on a couch with his shoes on lol and Lizzy and Stokesy got busy in his room, baha! Abs and I put 'Wake up it's a beautiful morning' on full volume at 11am and ran in jumping on the bed in the morn, good times hahah.

So there's been a meeting and when I said it was full of boring rubbish I was half right except for the fact I might have just lost my job. Oh joy. '6 heads' are getting the chop and I could well be one of them. BTT 3 has now gone to Bratislava so basically my job is fucked. Awaiting further outcome on friday.

I'm a little bit shocked at what#s just happened but bring on Newcastle Vs Pompey tonight!

Mugging myself off

I'm struggling to update this with anything good mostly because my life has come to a complete stand still. Some good things have happened though - Simon is the best man to sit next to at football ever because he donates to your cause of not being able to buy a season ticket in favour of monthly repayments. What an absolute Gem, and a fucking rich gem at that. I don't quite know how much money he has but it's a hell load that's for sure. Dad and I sat down and arranged my finances this evening and he is being the Father I always knew he was; very kind, considerate, helping me in my hour of need. I truly, truly hope I don't have to move home any time soon, but who knows. It would be a lot easier that's for sure but I will not give in to 'easy' just yet.

I have nothing to update on other areas the world and his wife already know about. It's still shit and i'm still barely up together with it. Pretty much sums it up, lingering like a bad smell. Go away!

Running has taken a little progression and when I say little I MEAN little. Got a schedule to run 5km comfortably. This is the first step, cos quite frankly i'm terrible.

Community challenge on Thursday and then on Tuesday next week giving blood. How helpful can one person be in 6 days?! Feeling very good about that.

P.S - I just wrote 'mugging myself off' as the title but i'm laid down in bed and it's a lttle hard to type and I accidentally wrote 'muffing myself off' that would have been the worst typo in history bahahahahahahah!

Cider Drinker

Long weekend is the best. Cider hangover today though, give it a few hours and i'll be buzzing again. Finally said something last night, perhaps it's the beginning of the end. Let's hope so because I am beyond fed up of feeling like turd.

Off to footy soon, gonna take a walk to Stokesy's to get my car. Excited for chill out at Dawn's later, chinese and drinks. Hurrah :o) Mexican Party tomorrow!

Peace out.

March full of Mysterys

So it's been a while. It's been a while since many things, but I am in particular referring to my bloggage. time to start rolling again as we've been having summerish kinda weather lately and I am loving living close to the sea!

Basically for the entirety of this month I have had ZERO cash so i've learned to live on basically nothing. Dry poppadums are not sufficient for an evening meal.

Last few weeks have been fun filled even without cash. Went to Sunshine for Paddy's day and they were giving out green glow sticks - check out the awesome fashion accessory. I pull it off marvellously... Becca, James, Kate and Leanne all came to the pub, we attempted the quiz and failed miserably! Was an irish quiz so when we didn't know the answer we just put Sinead O'connor or Leprechaun. Surprisingly none of the answers were any of these two guesses! I think we came around 10 out of 12 or something ridiculous. At least it wasn't last! These glow sticks are still hanging round my rear view mirror except they no longer glow. I really ought to remove them. Completely got mugged in the sunshine £2.80 for a coke! WRONG!
Went up to Neil's farm on the bikes last weekend and we had fun playing with Spike as we did today - Abby, Ads, Damo, Cags and myself rode on the bikes up to Denmead and to the farm. My bum absolutely kills from the seat again! Seriously seriously need to learn not to bike ride often!
James flew to New York yesterday afternoon and as far as I am aware he is having the best time, he's under strict instructions to bring me back a I <3 NY t-shirt! The red version of my white glasses have gone to NYC with him, so YES part of me is currently in NYC. Bahah, closest i'm gonna get for a while!
Finally met Han, all good. Dealing dealing dealing. Although absolutely 100% NOT down with house music. Absolutely ruined me. Bahaha!
Work tomorrow, Charis' Hen weekend next weekend and friday off! WHOOP WHOOP! So very very very excited. I'm excited for this but what i'm really excited for is food shopping tomorrow. Sad? Yes.

More pics from the recent month -

Ambitions and dreams!

I've been thinking the last few days how much I want to travel the world. However, several things are a huge hinderance to this. e.g. Money, lack of ability to save money, - being the main two!

Things I want to do and places I want to see are:

- Climb Mount Kilamanjiro - After seeing Comic Relief and what an achievement that would be it looks immense! There are packages you can go on, it takes 6-7 days but costs $2095 Which is around £1,200 or something. Bad times.

- Become a ski instructor - I have only skiied once and as far as I remember I wasn't terrible but being an instructor is a whole other issue. Lots of websites which have lots of info in doing so, so i've been checking these out. Looks amazing!

- USA Summercamp - this looks incredible but isn't really a very cultural experience even though I love USA.

- Indian orphanage - Something nobody I know would ever see me doing in a million years but it would actually be something to change my life.

Life style change yes?!

Dear God I need to get out of here.

Sooooo many more things I want to do, visit Tokyo, Malaysia, Sinagpore, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, India, Cambodia, etc...

Play the game!

It's the sunniest day since I can remember and i'm thinking about going for a walk. The wind is putting me off slightly though, hmmm. Kate came over last night, got a little drunk started to watch the beginning of In Bruges and I fell asleep about 15 mins in. She said I snore, this is bad times. I swear I never used to :-/

I have such little money it's an actual joke. I have never been this broke ever and I can't believe it's only 8th March. I can't even afford my Dad a birthday present. Very very very bad times :(

Work on friday was new, I moved desks and am now sat next to Sara. A little taste of what i'm in for - I was eating a packet of Skittles on my desk and left to do put some stuff away. Came back t my desk to find this sign - I accused Dawn at first then felt bad because it was Sara! Good times though, she's set Mike's phone up for Monday to when somebody rings him and he picks it up it continues ringing, bahaha!

Pancakes!

It's been a funny old kinda couple of weeks, feelin the ups and down of living on my own (effectively, nobody's ever really here at the same time). Quite liking it though! Loving living in the city, so much easier to get out and come back home again!

Work is a bit shit. Emily doesn't like change. It'll all start to settle down in a couple of months though which i'm hoping will be okay, I hate looking for jobs definitely do not want to be doing that.

Sorted car insurance renewal, I now have 1 years no claims, hurrah! Who'd have thought i'd make that? Renewal cost £479 - total bargain compared to £682 last year! Bless the Mother for helping me sort it tonight i'm so clueless about this kind of thing. I realise whilst moving out i'm clueless about a lot of stuff. I don't even know how to pay in a cheque - this is serious issues. I don't know what stuff recycles and what stuff doesn't, i'm quite ashamed of this. I don't know what '6.4% APR' means. I know sod all about mortgages and how they work (not that I need to right now to be fair). Just a few of the minor things i've got no clue about there is about 100 million more I could add to the list.

I'm thinking of joining lovefilm.com to get some more film action under my belt. I really need to see Revolutionary Road and The Curious Benjamin Button - about a guy who ages backwards. Sounds amazing. Also since Slumdog Millionaire won a whole shed load of awards including 8 oscars I figure I should watch this at some point. I've got literally no cinema partner these days though so my Orange Wednesdays is pretty much wasted. Gonna have to start gettin' me some dates at one point or another. - Easy peasy!

Made pancakes with Mum tonight, hilarious she broke the hand held blender and all the batter fell out the bottom, bahaha! I drenched mine in golden syrup it was the SHIZZLE!

BOA.
