SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!!!

Okay, I've been having a lot of problems with blogger lately. I'm finding it very hard to sign in and getting everything to load (most of the time it takes forever for absolutely nothing to happen) so I'm seriously considering switching my blog to some other....blog people

Of course I will let you know if I do, I will post my new blog address....assuming I can sign in, of course!

In the meantime, take care and God bless

"You do the sleeves and I'll get the axe"

A lot of changes have been happening over the past few months though and blogging has dropped down on my priority list. If anybody is reading this though, let me know and I will put more of an effort into blogging more regularly. Seriously guys, if I have an audience let me hear about it!

So...what has been happening I hear you cry *waits for said statement to be uttered*

Firstly, work. Work is going okay, I guess. We have loads of temps in (getting near tax year end, our busiest time) but at the moment the work load is small so every time a bit of work comes into the work queue we fight for it like vultures fighting for scraps of a carcus! If you haven't picked it up within a 10th of a second, give up kiddo, you've lost it. The temps are allowed to read if there is no work in the queue and I've been quite tempted to do it at times but I'm not sure if I'd be allowed so I've been writing notes and parts of my "book" (I'm going to set up a blog for that shortly - I know, seems a bit daft considering I can hardly keep up with this one but it will be purely about me writing my book- I'll post a link when I've set it up)and that's kept me busy on and off. Hopefully it will pick up soon though.

Secondly, I've been having driving lessons again. Great, right? LMAO! Nothing is EVER that simple for me!I started having lessons with a guy called Phil in a Corsa. I had a couple of lessons but I just couldn't get on with his car. Wait, that makes it sound like I had an argument with it and couldn't get past it. The problem was that the clutch travelled waaaay too much and I had to really stretch and I still couldn't get it down all the way so it just wasn't working. He phoned the office and they got another instructor for me and he phoned me to see what times when I'm available but he doesn't work evenings or weekends. I guess I'll just quit my job then, shall I?Anyway, he spoke to the office and they got another instructor to call me, Gavin.........he has a Corsa. I said I didn't get on with Phil's car (though I'm not sure he had a clue who Phil is) but he said to give it a go and I, stupidly, said yes. I only said yes because he sounded so nice. My lesson is on Friday after work which is a horrific time but as I'm not expecting it to go past one lesson (I'm not even expecting to have a full lesson) I can put up with it. We'll see how it goes.
My height seems to be a major issue at the moment. I brought an Iron Maiden jacket from their website and when it eventually came it was huuuuuuuuge (despite being a "small". I suppose that was meant to be ironic). I hate not being able to get clothes and shoes etc. If I was an emo I'd be in heaven but I'm not and I don't want to dress like I am.It really bothers me. It makes everything so difficult. Like driving...I'm so worried I won't be able to get a car I can learn to drive in. Stef's daddy Steve said I should buy a Mini (an old one, I want a black one) and learn to drive in it and if it was just a matter of buying one I would but it's all the running expenses - tax, insurance, petrol etc. I can't afford to spend all of that on a car I wouldn't be able to drive very often.

You know what? Stef is the only person who has made me feel like it really, honestly, truly doesn't matter. And that deserves an award because it really does bother me so much.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or mis-informed holder a black eye"

I really don't get page 3 models. I mean, seriously don't get it. Why on earth would a woman (that's ignoring the fact that a lot of them are very young, 18 etc) want to pose topless for a load of men to perv on her?? What possesses them to think that is a good idea?? I really, REALLY don't get it on any level.

I could say more about this but the shower is calling and well....MEH! I really can't be bothered because the pathetic men who like them aren't going to stop and the pathetic girls who do it aren't going to stop so... meh!

"You, sir, are simply an oxygen thief."

I just want to apologise to a few people, they know who they are. I've been waaaay too dependent on them lately and that stops now. I have to pick my battles so I can win the war, I understand that.

Thank you for your support thus far and thank you for your frankness when it came to my stubbornness. Thanks *hug*

"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons...for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."

Do you think God ever taunts us?? As I'm typing that question I'm pretty sure I know the answer and I feel kinda stupid just wondering but sometimes it just feels like He's rubbing other people's situations into my face. Over and over again. Maybe it will make me a stronger person but at the moment, I don't feel like it.

Hall of Fame: "Are you even sure you need a liver? My friend had his appendix out and he's fine."

Well guys, it's been a while since I posted here!

I will try and post a bit less sporadically in the not too distant future but I haven't really been online all that much lately.

I do have a hall of fame though.

Nominations are:

Kelly and Tom, both at Virgin Megastore

These guys spent about 20 minutes looking for the Pixar boxset for me last night.
I went up to Kelly on the desk and she looked on the computer but wasn't sure what it was under so she phoned the guy downstairs and he didn't know either. He had a look downstairs and couldn't see it. Kelly eventually found it (it was under Cars for some reason)and there was supposed to be 6 in stock. Kelly phoned downstairs again and said either Tom would need to go upstairs and look or he would need to go to that till while she looked, as she was the only one upstairs. Tom looked. After a while he said that he's sorry but he couldn't find it and that he could take my details and let me know when it's found but that would be a bit unpredictable if it's found on his day off etc. He was just about to check the price for ordering it when the phone rang. Someone had found a copy downstairs! Yay!!!

Kelly and Tom make the Hall of Fame for their efforts to find it and for their general niceness!

(And yeah, the title has nothing to do with the Hall of Fame but that, kids, is life!

Where did I go wrong?

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

"Commanding a ferry had been George's life long dream, ever since he'd heard of them. Earlier that morning."

When I was walking back from the bus stop tonight the moon was shining bright and beautiful, not to mention big, and it was such a perfect scene. From the top of the hill (yep, a girl from the Fens living somewhere with hills...what a culture shock!), there was the moon shining brightly over the town. Beautiful. It would have made a great photo, if I had a camera!

Now there's an idea, huh?
