OMG CHOCO!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
OMG!
RIGHT THIS MINUTE Jhenn is on a plane to Japan to see her beloved for a month.

I talked to her this morning to wish her well

AND WHEN I JUST GOT IN FROM WORK THERE WAS CHOCOLATE!!!

She didn't know if the person who bought me replacement chocolate was to remain anonymous or not, but THANK YOU. I have chocolate with VEGAN BACON in it.

Here are some emoticons to show you how grateful I am...



I am so so so so happy right now! OMG!

Blackberry Love
Blackberry. Hmmmm.

Facebook is practically integrated into my phone. The only problem was that everytime something happened on Facebook I was getting 3 notifications. One in my Gmail inbox, one in Facebook itself down the bottom and one straight to my phone.

That's way too many.

I first thought of turning the facebook emails to Gmail off but it would appear that that's where the Facebook application gets its information from. I got nothing to my phone.

Then I made a filter in Gmail, sending all facebook messages to the trash but then they didn't send them to my phone either.

You can't make different folders in Gmail, which really seems ass-backwards when you have so many social media sites sending you mail all the time. I'd love to have a Facebook folder and a Twitter folder and a Livejournal folder.

Lastly I checked the options in the BB Application itself, where I found you could get it to remove the messages from the server after it gets them. This would appear to be what I want, except it only notifies me of, say, the first comment on a status, and not the rest. They are there, sure but I don't get TOLD about them.

It's times like this I wish I could code. There's a couple of applications I'd LOVE to make for my BB to make it an even bigger part of my life.

That and a new type of battery.

I wish....

There are 15 flowers on my chili plant. I think they are Birds Eye Chillies, meaning I have 15 gorgeous little red fire bombs coming my way. This is 3 more than I had last year!!!

I have got a 2liter pan of tea that's cooling down on my hob to make iced tea with. It's Her Majesty's Blend which has brewed to a delightful ruby red colour in the pan. Can't wait for it to cool!

Sims 3 is continuing to amuse me as I made my 8 staff then made their personalities as close as possible. They are all doing things which are very much like them and screenshotting them and putting them on facebook is a source of much amusement for me.

I have Thursday and Friday off [as well as today] so I will be taking photos of a few things from around the house and selling them on. Less clutter, more money. I hope.

What is making you happy?

Cartoon from erzibet
I have been really busy recently, and it shows no sign of stopping!

Saturday afternoon I put extensions in someone's hair other than my own. They are really pretty roving dreads, I'm hoping I can get a reputation as able to do this enough that I can get a few pennies here and there doing it for the customers of [info]miss_needles who are in Leeds.

After finishing work on Saturday at around 5am I went straight to the bus station and got on a bus to London. I 'slept' on the way down and found myself in Victoria! Once there I recognised a Subway I'd been to many many years ago on a previous trip to London, but had no memories of what else we did. Weird!

As I had failed to buy what I went to London for, I went to the park that we were all meeting at for [info]poggs's birthday and had a nap in the sun. I got sunburn on my arm during the second hour. Whoops!

We all sat around and had a really nice picnic, I met loads of new people as well as saw a couple of old faces. It was really really nice aside from the fucking pollen.

Monday morning I woke up on Poggs's sofa to find a cup of Red Hot Lava Java beside me. Silly Poggsie, he didn't really know what coffee would do to me.

Neither did I to be honest.

I ended up wired as fuck walking around in circles in London around Tottenham Court Road, getting upset at bookshops and deciding that I didn't want ANYTHING but Sushi for like 3 hours. Then I sat down and waited for Yo Victoria to open, only for [info]icklekitty to let me know that Wasabi next to the toilet was better and cheaper and already open. Win.

I ate some sushi in the bus station, got back to Leeds and then went to work for a meeting. Then I went back home and saw my [info]milfos before finally getting some sleep.

Tuesday day shift was ok, then I went home to get some tea, before heading out to the cinema.

Last night I worked until around 3, then had to be back in at 11 to have the machines emptied. That is 3 hours before my shift usually starts so I am sitting her SO TIRED right now. Really tired. Can sleep tonight!

Tomorrow I'm on the nightshift, Saturday day shift before heading off on a train to Lichfield where I will see my little brother and then head out to a school friend's daughter's Christening. I have bought a DRESS and related accessories like SANDALS and new EARRINGS and I will be road testing it Sunday ready for the wedding I'm off to in July. It is PINK as fuck and really SHORT.

Sorry for the overuse of caps, I'm just a bit excited. I am tired as hell.

Monday I get back to Leeds and then work a night shift straight after. Then I'm off Tuesday and will take this opportunity to sleep as much as possible next to my betrothed.

If I've already bought most of an outfit, am I allowed to get a new handbag? Do I really need one?

I have very little contact with my best friend anyway, bearing in mind she lives on a different CONTINENT to me and you go and ruin the thing I've been looking forward to for ages?!

I don't have much money right now as it is and when I order some chocolate from her business to a. give her money and b. so I can try her vegan chocolate for the first fucking time it gets 'lost' in transit?

WHAT BULLSHIT IS THIS!?!?

Well done, you've made me cry.

Oh yeah, the envelope arrived, with the contents missing. How on earth? Wrapped in a plastic bag that says "Item Damaged Before Arrival In UK". Also, how the fuck did it get posted on May 20th and only 'arrive' today? Especially if it was damaged BEFORE it got here, it's all bullshit.

I certainly can't afford to re-buy the chocolate

I certainly won't ask Jhenn to re-make it, it's her home business and that's a tad unfair.

My copy of Sims3 also arrived today, but now I don't want to play it. I want my vegan bacon chocolate.

Worst thing? Jhenn probably put a note or something in it, and now that's lost to the world.

Edit: and it appears there's nothing I can do. The official line is 'welp, you've lost your stuff. We didn't do it. bye now!'

OMG!
Today, Milf and I have been together 5 years. We rang in the day by dancing to The Waterboys at a friend's house while all my workmates from Fab cheered and drank to our health. It was an amazing night!

Today we've had a nice meal and are sat in watching The Wire season 2. It's a great day!

Oh and Milf finally let us set a date for the wedding. Dude!

Hello [info]tga, I'm updating livejournal!

Under here are the pictures of Star Wars Day - Some of the costumes and all the fun we had.

May The 4th Be With You [albeit 16 days later] )

I know it's taken me forever to update with this, but I wanted all the photos and I didn't have a camera other than my phone, so I had to wait until the staff put theirs up.

It was so much fun! :D

I thought up the idea of having a proper Star Wars party at Fab.

I suggested it

I organised it

I designed posters and flyers

I arranged entertainment and food

It happened

And I sat back and I saw that it was good.

I am having such a good night, but I really wish I'd brought some spare shoes!

My blue is slowly fading the more fun I have.

Pictures to come at some point I hope!!!

Whitbeh 09

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Butter Wouldn't Melt
So I did go to Whitby for the day. It was lots of fun, but I came home yesterday as I thought I had something to do today. Now everyone has let me down :(

I got a lift with [info]blondelass's friend Tracy, so we got to Whitby around 11.30. I had gone to bed at 5 and got up at 7 so I was mighty tired and hadn't eaten since 7 but nevermind :D

I went straight to the Spa to see [info]needler and [info]spookyzo where I got a fake fringe to stop myself from trying to cut one all the time. Then I went to the Little Angel, where I found a friend from Leeds's mum that I knew goes every time just to people watch. Then I called [info]poggs, who came to meet me for lunch. While waiting for him I saw [info]ashbet and her boyfriend, who went to a nice cafe that had sausages, but unfortunately not enough room for the 5 of us so we went to The Resolution.

The Resolution had plenty space but no beer in the fridges. £3.50 pints and when we went to order food they told us they weren't taking orders for another 20 minutes due to the backlog. Haha stupid underplanning gits. We drank our extortionate pints and ran away to The Shambles, as [info]myz_lilith was there and had room for us all.

As we got there we found that Lord Vader was outside and I had some photos taken. I said "Lord Vader, could you please choke me a little bit?" then started laughing 'cause it was so childish and a bit kinky. Haha!

We ate dinner and had another beer, before I realised I would have to go home soon. [info]dan_lane was in the pub, but Google Latitude said he was still at the cottage. The one time that programme has come in useful and it turns out he left his phone back on charge, haha! Said a very quick hello to [info]dj_alexander before going back to the Spa to get another fringe from Needles and some pink leopard tat from the other stalls. Then I went for one last pint in the Angel with Anna before going back to the car to come home.

I was very glad I went but I am quite glad I came home. I got to see Milf, I'm chilling at home now and I didn't have a spa ticket unlike most the people I saw.

Today I am playing LOTRO, listening to 'The Skeptics Guide To The Universe' a reccomendation from Daäg and drinking the home-made iced tea that I made and put into bottles in the fridge. Life is sweet!

April 22nd, 2009

I bought myself a new one inch spike for my chin today. People had been commenting that I looked weird without it so I bit the bullet and spent another £8. The only bad thing about spikes is that they seem to come off easier than anything else and I keep losing them in my cleavage.

I've also lost two of my tunnels in my ears. I wear single-flared tunnels, in 10mm 4mm 3mm and 2.4mm and the 2.4s went a few weeks ago. I've got to replace them.

Been thinking about getting more piercings - Milf doesn't want me to get my madonna back although I loved it. I kinda want my finger pierced on the top where a ring would be, but my piercer doesn't reccomend it, though he will do it :)

Need my roots doing - hoping I can convince Milf this evening. Then I may pink it, I don't know. I think I want a beehive for the weekend.

Can't fully decide about Whitby. Today is day 6 of an 8 day run at work. Saturday will be my first day off since last Thursday. My lift is at 9am. I don't remember the last time I saw 9am. Although my job is fun the sleep pattern is KILLER. 9am in the morning is like 5am to me. Also my auntie is visiting my parents in Lichfield and I could go home Friday night and see them all.

I could also enjoy my first day off in bed and then regret being a lazy arse.

I miss you guys. Last night at work I cried a little bit and missed [info]web_kitten. I think I have to go to Whitby so I can see your smiling faces!

I've all of a sudden realised that A. I'm free from Friday at 8pm 'till Monday at 6.30pm and B. I quite fancy going to the seaside to see some Goffiks.

Is anyone from Leeds going and coming back within that time that I can buy a lift off? I'd really like to see some people I've not seen in a long time...

I've almost finished watching the whole of the IMDB top 250. I will finish this later on, I'm halfway through Great Expectations at the moment, and United 93 is the last one. It's been such a labour of love, and I'm almost sad it's over.

I archived the list on the 12th of March 2007, and I'm finishing it on the 08th April 2009. It's taken me 2 years and 27 days. 758 days. One film every 3 days! That's actually a lot better than I thought it would be, although I had started with 64 already done so it's more like every 4 days.

I know the list has changed since then, and I've already moved from twofifty.org which disappeared into the internet grave with my donation I'd just made, to http://250.s-anand.net/ which someone made when he too was annoyed that twofifty.org had disappeared. My list is here, detailing the ones that have come and gone since 2007. I've already got all of the films I'm missing ready to watch, and at that point I'm going to do something very silly.

I'm going to take the free 14 day trial of IMDB Pro, and copy a list of the top 500. Then I guess it all starts again! Some of you may think I'm mad, others may do it themselves when I have the list, but I've seen so many films I would otherwise have ignored - films that I'd never even heard of before I started this.

Harvey, Rebecca, The Wages of Fear, Les Diaboliques, La Notti di Cabiria and many others, I couldn't start to tell you all how heavily I recommend them! I feel more enriched for having seen so many treasures of many countries and I'm looking forward to seeing how many more I've got to watch.

April 8th, 2009

Found out today that my hosting with Dreamhost is due. $190.80. Damn the weak pound.

I have two reservations about this:
1. My website hasn't worked in a long while, everything is still there but the pages themselves don't work
2. I've not used the bloody thing since last March I don't think, so what's the point?

I have some questions:
1. Is there a better place to host my stuff? I have taken up 2 gigs of space [no idea how, can probably get rid of a LOT] and have very minimal traffic.
2. I have Gallery installed. I would lose that if I move it all, right?

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't think I can afford to spend that much money right now, I have to pay N Power :(
I woke up yesterday to find that one of the kittens had bitten straight through one of my speaker cables. Damn them!! I suspect it was the girl, we had to bin a phone charger 'cause she wouldn't leave it alone.

My Blackberry is nice. Very nice but I have a few problems with it.

It takes forever to bring up the 'call' screen. It's become a problem when people were asking me to find a number and I wanted it to do it quickly.

The battery is Li-Ion, which means it's not like a normal battery and one long charge will look after it. It's more of a little-by-little thing, which is annoying at the bar, as I can be away from a power point for ages and I NEED it.

Twitter is easy to post from but difficult to read from.

The alarm clock automatically repeats either every day or every weekday. I wish I could set a week's worth of alarms on it.

I do however LOVE:

Getting my email straight to the phone just like a text message - however I can't reply to LJ comments from it by using the boxes in the email.

My RSS reader - I need more to digest so please suggest good RSS feeds. I already have notalwaysright.com and Reuters Oddly Enough [which annoyingly will update with the same story multiple times in one day :/]

Twitter to my phone for FREE

Instant messaging - Googlemessage, aim, yahoo and MSN but I can't use them 'cause I have too many people on my friends lists and they all message me at once!

Automatic synching up with my google calendar. Heaven.

The Push Touch screen. Awesome.

Things I need:

A new theme
New Ringtones
Another charger.
Google Latitude to stop thinking I'm in fucking Hyde Park. AS IF!

Anyone on Google Latitude, Blackberry IM or Twitter, let me know right now

And don't worry, none of those fucking annoying LiveTwitter bollocks will be appearing on my page. As if I don't post enough shite already.

Long Time No See

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Cartoon from erzibet
How is everyone? I've been reading but not commenting, as I said to myself that I wouldn't update until I'd told you all about the Metallica concert. I utterly failed at that!

Back in February I went to see Metallica - it was the most amazing day/night that I've ever EVER had.

We got the tickets back in September, so it was a long wait until we got to go, but boy did it come around fast.

I worked the night before, but I was up early and bright for Flick to pick us up around 1.

We arrived at Sheffield at around 2 I think, where after a pint over the road we got ourselves into the queue for the gates. They didn't open until 7 so it was a long, tiring wait! But once the crowd got huge we realised why it had been such a good idea to be there early.

We were front row baby! Flick and Bev were determined, so Milf and I stood directly behind them. There was an asshole who decided he should be standing where Flick was, and told us as much so we bolstered ourselves against his pushing and delivered a few swift elbows to the ribs. I have never seen someone so rude and insistant at a gig. He was pushing me with all his weight and I had to swap places with Milf. He also spent the whole night resting fully on the bloke in front of him. I think there wasn't a person within a 10 meter radius that didn't want to twat him.

The Sword were shite, poor little boys on a man's stage. Machine Head were ok, but I think those rumours of Metallica making their support bands sound like shit may be true.

When the theme tune from "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" started, a couple of tears rolled down my face, but when they played 'One' I absolutely sobbed my heart out. Hetfield even gave me a funny look. Proper tears of "I never thought I would hear this song live"-ness.

Metallica Setlist )

So then we went for a drink in a nearby bar with Bev and her husband, Liam. Then got in the car back to Leeds. All in all a day to remember and I'm able to die happy now I've seen Metallica.

Another thing I've done recently is go to Weston-Super-Mare to see [info]medusa and [info]dr_atheist. It was LOADS of fun, really nice to meet my Godson, who sat peacefully on my lap for like an hour on first meeting me, and to properly meet Felix, who was ill the poor sod, and we played a game that I've wanted for ages that I thought would be appropriate for Felix, Cooking Mama. Alas it was too hard for an almost 4 year old [yeah no surprises there] and so we tried playing a skating game and Mario Kart instead.

I had a nice relaxing couple of days, thank you so much guys :D

Another thing I did was go to see Lily Allen. I'm glad I managed it, but I wish I hadn't got so drunk I don't remember any of it beforehand. I remember her playing Womanizer by Britney and I remember her stage but I don't remember much else. I was also stood right at the back as we got there late. Oops.

This sunday I'm working and we're showing Flight of the Navigator at work. Then on Monday it's Wrestlemania at FAB and I'm getting quite excited about that!

I've been feeling quite lonely recently, as the people I used to hang out with aren't answering texts, or are cancelling at last minute. A couple of weeks ago I reached out to a few others with calls but no-one answered. I don't know who my friends are any more. I only know that I'm always the one who leaves a comment or the one who sends the first facebook message.

Cartoon from sharpelbows
It's no-where near the realm of what [info]needler knows as busy, but I do feel that everything is being busy and I've not had 5 minutes to myself sometimes!

On Tuesday the female kitten of the house, Frenzy, went to the Vet's to have her bits taken away. Rumble had his done a month ago, as we were concerned that he may start spraying or try to make his sister have inbred babies. Frenzy's cost a lot more, so we waited to have it done, but today I took her back for her checkup and her microchip is in place, it reads ok and she's fixed. I'm allowed to let her outside in a week. I'm rather afraid of letting them out when there's a MASSIVE black tomcat, and a really FAT tabbby tomcat that roam the street from time to time, but if I don't let them out to fight their battles now then then will never be any good. I think I may get them both a cat leash to begin with...

My quest to watch the IMDB top 250 is really almost finished! I've got around 38 films left to watch, which I calculated would take me 3.66 movies a day if I wanted to watch them and have finished at the 2 year anniversary which is the 12th of March. It's not going to happen but it won't be far off!!!

I'm at work tonight, and then off to Sheffield tomorrow to see Metallica. Oh My God. So excited. We'll probably be in the queue so we get a good standing point for most of the day, so I can't see anyone - though I am still unsure as to whether there's anyone that would want to see me in Sheffield.

I cannot express how happy I am to see Metallica!!!

On the other hand, I went to buy a Lily Allen ticket last night, as my money finally cleared, and they are all sold out. I am devastated. I will keep trying for one though, I am GOING to see Lily if it kills me :(

Very excited to go to [info]medusa and [info]dr_atheist's in a week and a half - Everything is go go go at the moment!!! Train rides and stuff, it's all a nice distraction from how ill my 89 year old grandmother is :(

[info]medusa asked me to talk about 5 things, but then she changed one so I'll write about all 6 :D

Japan. - I have no idea how or when my obsession with Japan started, and whether it has ended or not. It was pretty mild until I had to decide what to do at University. Being the strange type, I picked Engineering and went to an open day. The open day was horrible and all the Engineering types were awful, so I spoke to the guy from Oxford Brookes University. He suggested that I took Japanese as my degree instead of as a night class. I talked to my careers advisor, Bob and he said it wasn't a bad idea. Here I am with a year of living in Japan, international best friends and a useless, if interesting degree.

It's a shame I don't want to live there again as they are so intolerant, rascist and bureaucratic.

Your favourite film ever. - I can't decide whether it's Empire Records, which I first watched with Milf around 4 years ago and have re-watched more times than is necessary, or Harvey, which I only watched in the last 6 months. I am so obsessed with Harvey that I want Milf to hire a large rabbit suit and follow me around on my birthday in it, so I can pretend he's a pookah.

Most embarrassing thing you have ever done while drunk. - Early this month I went home for a visit and I threw up in my friend's mother's spare room. Other bad things are playing the "Catch me! Catch me!" game with Milf, and falling over and scraping up my knees and palms with gravel.

Leopard print. - it's only Pink Leopard Print I have the addiction to. It started with a bag and now I have over 350 different items that are pink leopard print. Hey, at least it's not crack! I also like to think it's slightly classier than the usual beigey-brown version.

Worst childhood holiday. - I can't think of any especially bad ones, I remember the endless tours of distilleries and beer making places, and asking to go to Flamingo World and being told no, but they did finally get it right when I got to around 15/16 when we went to a Haven holiday camp instead, where they have arranged activities for the teenagers and mum and dad could have their entire days sitting reading while we actually had something to do.

Most treasured childhood memory. - I vaguely remember sitting on the sofa at the house in warrington [or it was a chair, either way it had its back to the front windown] and begging my mum and dad to let me hold my brother when he came home from the hospital. Nothing much from my childhood stands out, because I hated school and all the childminders I had, but if I remember this right then it's pretty cool. I was only 2 :3

If anyone wants 5 things to write about, just let me know.

Black Side Parting
http://mofette.livejournal.com/599303.html

The best thing about Milf's dual screen pc is that I can watch a movie while playing LOTRO on the main one. Right now I am watching Moulin Rouge.

Films I have watched recently:

(X) The Manchurian Candidate (1962) - Can't believe we waited so long to watch this! It was pretty confusing and not my sort of thing.

(X) The African Queen (1951) - Nice enough story, think it could've been done better though :/

(X) Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) - AWESOME. Absolutely amazing film and it's so devilish. Loved the ending.

(X) Amores perros (2000) - Boring blah, didn't like the animal cruelty too

(X) Ladri di biciclette (1948) - such a touching story, I wish I could speak Italian!!

(X) Battaglia di Algeri, La (1966) - I can't believe these things happened in real life and I haven't been tought about them. Honestly where do you start?

(X) The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) - Hillarious!

(X) Diaboliques, Les (1955) - probably one of my favourite films ever, I love non-traditionally spooky things!

(X) 8½ (1963) - didn't get it at all

(X) Shadow of a Doubt (1943) - Really good, didn't like the ending but I believe a lot in getting your just deserts.

(X) Stand by Me (1986) - Great little story, did it really need to be the whole movie? Maybe I just didn't get it.

(X) The Night of the Hunter (1955) - Great film, god was the main guy scary!

(X) The Wild Bunch (1969) - Don't really like westerns. Sorry.

(X) The General (1927) - Crap. Argh!

(X) Die Hard (1988) - This was much better than I thought it would be! :D

(X) Harvey (1950) - My favourite film, EVER. I am obsessed with this so much I have asked Milf for a Pookah so many times the last month!!

(X) The Conversation (1974) - I am sure I have seen this before, but in German...

(X) Smultronstället (1957) - another one I didn't get

(X) Dog Day Afternoon (1975) - Loads of fun! Can't believe it was real!!

(X) Patton (1970) - Boring film about a boring man.

Sunshine - A bit pants, certainly not as good as Event Horizon

Alive - Great. I love that sort of film so it was always going to be great

Soylent Green - Blah. I already knew the ending so watching it was a formality.

Moulin Rouge - very clever use of songs, I probably won't watch it again, it gave me toothache!

I'm sure I've missed a couple, but with this many it's not surprising.

Good job it's the middle of the night and I'm not messing up anyone's friends list ;)

Home, James!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Baby Mofette
This weekend I went home to Lichfield to see my parents and my best friend from High School.

Friday I finished work and got on the 9.10 train. I'd just done 5 days in a row, the week before I'd done 7 shifts, the week before that 6 so I was well in need of a couple of days of home-cooked food and giant television.

I finished reading Soul Music on the train, so I had nothing left to entertain myself with, but luckily I was pulling into Derby, so I called my brother to tell him to set off now so we'd both arrive at Burton-Upon-Trent at the same time. It would've been perfect had he not gone back to bed(!) and not set off until half an hour later. When I went to work earlier in the afternoon it wasn't that cold, so I had no gloves, no scarf and I needed a wee :(

When I got home mum warmed me up some of the Chili Con Carne she'd made earlier and we watched some shite television before going to bed.

Saturday I convinced my mum to come out shopping with me, and I ended up with a really nice bright green satin top for St. Patrick's, and some Pink Leopard Socks. I feel an update of the Pink Leopard Gallery is in need as I have maybe got another 50% more objects to add to it :}

Then I cooked dinner for the whole family and went out to Vicky's house, where we drank and I drank and I drank everything I could find and found out I wasn't invincible. I threw up and it was horrible.

Sunday morning I was still drunk, and Vicky showed me a Soulja Boy video that scared me, then dropped me off home in time for me to watch Newcastle Vs Sunderland, where they got a pentalty they shoudln't have, and we drew. Boo.

Then [info]bigmoma bleached my roots and we watched some crap, before [info]king_theodoric came home, and me and my daddy watched The Superbowl together.

It's a little known fact, but when I was a baby I could name all of the NFL Teams by either their City, Helmet or Nickname. I'm glad that [info]medusa is doing something useful with her kids' memory and is teaching Felix french. I'm not sure that "Washington Redskins, Green Bay Packers" will be that useful, especially when the teams move City.

I called [info]web_kitten when I saw that one of the players was from Kent, OH. It was nice to hear her voice. She was watching The Puppybowl.

Dad and I thoroughly enjoyed the Superbowl, the most entertaining American Football match I've ever watched [and the team I was supporting won]. Then it was Monday and it was time to come home - the less said about that the better. 40 minute late train + broken front window near Chesterfield = 2 hour late train. I got home at gone 11 instead of 9.

Today I signed up for Twitter. Unsurprisingly I'm Mofette but I don't know if I'll use it much. Chris Moyles made me want to. It would've been nice when I was stuck on the train with no book to read and no videos on my ipod.

This week I have Saturday and Sunday off and I am spending them with Milf. End of.

My test results are back, and I've not got The Beetus. I am understandibly quite happy about this!

The Charts

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

How does one buy a single these days and know that your purchase will go towards the Chart rating?

Woolworths used to be where I did that before. I want an actual copy, not just to buy it on itunes, thanks.

Oh god I want babies with Lily Allen so much for her latest single, and I don't even want babies, ever!

The last 3 weeks at work have gone very quickly. It's not seemed as hard as I thought it would, though I am looking forward to this weekend. I have 3 days of and I'm going back to Lichfield to see the parents. Yay! I'm out with a friend from high school on Saturday night, then it's Sunderland V Newcastle on Sunday afternoon. Back to Leeds Monday.

I've been having more of a social life the last 2 weeks than I think I've had the last 2 years! I've been to The Fenton once, The Old Bar once, TJ's once, The Cuthbert Broderick twice, and come into FAB on my nights off twice! I've seen [info]mr_xell and his missus twice, I've been out to The Cockpit with Laura, Lou, Claire, Simon and Dicky and had a great time. All this in one week where I did 6 shifts and another where I did 7.

It's been a good January, and an awesome start to 2009 if I ignore the first two weeks of illness.

I've upped the size of all my ear-holes again. Now they are pretty, I've just got the bottom ones to do, which isn't a surprise - I'm going from 6mm to 10mm. They are so pretty and matching with single-flared tunnels.

Work is stressing me out a bit, Some days I just wanna get blitzed and fuck around but I won't. I think I have a thing for self-destruction at the moment.

I really need help with my diet, can anyone make me a diet plan? I need recipes that are easily warmed up or  something that I can take to work cold. I will be online most of Sunday afternoon onwards if anyone would be so kind - I need a lot of work. You can then put personal nutritionist on your CV.

I need an arse kicking.

HMV in Leeds City Center had 8 Wii Fits when Milf checked earlier, it now has max 7 'cause I have one.

Nice one HMV.

ION, I watched The Wrestler earlier today. I cried a bit.

I want babies with Lily Allen.

Of course this is not possible.

I should be at least allowed to try!

Her new single is amazing, I can't wait for the album!!

Sainsburys Suck.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Drunk by Diva
Ever since the Sainsburys opened down the road, I've used it for sandwiches and things before and during work. They started doing Meal Deals at our location about 3 months ago and it was a godsend. A drink, sandwich and a packet of crisps for £2.99.

They have changed it in the last week, so that Pepsi is no longer an allowed drink. This REALLY sucks.

I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but as Diet Coke wasn't on the list, Pepsi Max it was. A bit of caffeine with no calories.

The new allowed drinks are only water or fruit juice and the pictures / list of what is allowed is very vague, so I picked something that I could tell was on the picture.

The Tropicana Pomegranate Grape and Apple drink has 211 calories! That's 211 more than I used to have, and considering a packet of Walkers Salt & Vinegar crisps is 181, this is madness.

You can't have the baked crisps on the deal - fair enough, they must be more expensive, but there is no longer a healthier option for a meal deal at Sainsburys. The pasta salads are all 400 calories plus, with the light option being pretty horrid tasting. Not to mention the lack of vegetarian options.

I don't think I'll be getting a meal deal for lunch any more :(

Does anyone fancy a trip to the wonderful world that is Makro this coming week?

Compensation will be given! Also, you get to come to a wonderful place with magic shelves and cheap shite.

If all the automatic doors in The Light worked at once, would the world collapse?

ION I keep getting ill with separate things. Currently I'm on so many pills I would rattle if I fell over. I've just finished a week off work too. The Doctor's office woke me this morning with a phone call asking me to go in for a fasted blood glucose test. Yay.

They also just told me the doctor left me two more prescriptions, which I wasn't expecting. That's another £18 down the drain I guess.

Stupid stupid stupid.
