This day of the week rolls around so fast every time!
So I did a tutorial today for a pink and red look, it's beautiful and being my first one, I was so proud of it. Until that is, the camera I'm using let me down and I can't upload.
So gutted. I really thought I'd bitten the bullet and tried it.
Nope.
So my sunday was dull, then the football came on and it brightened up obviously.
I don't have anything else to say. But I have a question.
Does anyone want me to do tutorials? I have another camera that would allow me to do 6 minute long videos. So would you like to see them on youtube?
Ciao!

And another thing..
Why is it that being broke makes me unhappy? Bear with me...
We're really skint, almost totally. Even with a £50 sub from Deds boss.
BUT, we have each other. We're stable, roof over our heads, great friends, lovely (well fed I might add) pussycats, healthy and happy extended families...I could go on.
Yet a mere blip on our lifes radar and we're miserable? What is up with that?
We don't always have the best luck and sometimes we are downright UNlucky.
But I have him and he has me and best of all we have eachothers companionship.
Yet money makes the world go around?
Something somewhere got twisted...
My Grandparents, like yours I wouldn't bet, were almost destitute when they got married and started their clan. And yes, my Grandfather complained alot about the changes in life since then and the way people have become vulgar layabouts with sex addictions wheeling heroin drips around with them wherever they go. And to some extent he's not wrong. But my Grandparents were always happy. Grumpy yes, but unhappy? Never. They still held hands and worked hard right until retirement.
So what is it about my generation and the ones growing up now, that makes them think ipods and Nike will make them better people? What about morals? What about pride and respect?
Those things seem to be thin on the ground nowadays. I know I sound old but maybe that just makes me wiser.
Facebook, Myspace, Blogs, YouTube, MSN chat; does any of this have an impact on our young?
Of course it does. But it's not a matter of blaming these 'Social Networking' sites. They're a reaction, not an action. A symptom if you will, rather than a cause.
Yet they have all this power they don't use! The power to compell the youth, the power to teach right from wrong, the power to say yes to staying in school and no to a generation of murderers.
I'm not saying I could single handedly save the world. Hell, I'm not even saying I could save my kids from the street-life of Peckham! But I wish dollars were not the signs people saw when people like Britney Spears have fallen apart. I wish that the sound of a till wasn't what people heard when the G20 summit went inevitably pearshaped, rather than 'How can we help'.
I'm ot sure where I'm going now. But I wish money wasn't the answer.
If only I could say that happiness was enough. But in these fragile times both financial and within societies well being, we're looking for material possesions to make it better. If we weren't, would we even be in a recession? Credit cards and mortgages are the symbols for this post.
Without them maybe we wouldn't be wishing the next pay packet would hurry up and maybe we would look at each other and think "that's it. That's what life is ALL about".
Live within your means!
Just a thought about the world we live in.
Ciao!

Saturday means football.
Hello people! (Assuming ANYONE reads this, lol)
So we played Bristol Rovers today. 4-2 the final score, and I am not happy.
For the first time this decade we were going up in second. Nickin' it at the final hurdle and making everyone take us a little more seriously. Well whoops is all I can say to that now.
I shouldn't have bragged so loudly or in such huge quantities.
We lost and it's now play-offs for us. Those of you who don't like football but kept on reading anyway (what are you stoopid?), play-offs are pure unadulterated evil!
We as the 4th on the table, will play whoever is 6th. Assuming, of course that we hold onto where we are now! Millwall make me angry because it's in my blood and there is nothing I can do about it.
It makes me sad, happy, angry and destitue everyday. Yet I am addicted.
Hey at least it ain't crack!
So here we are AGAIN. Play-off place hopefully won and I am already starting to sweat. We don't do well in these scenarios historically and I for one do NOT want to stay in this piss-poor league any longer. So please boys, can ya pull it 'out the bag just this once? I promise God I will never eat chocolate and sit on my arse, ever again. EVER!!
Ciao (slightly apprehensive)

So I have the day off, let me tell you why. TMI time I'm afraid...
I had an appointment for my cervical smear test today.
Too much info? Don't care. It's important.
I want to invent a male smear. Like what they have for an STI test but more intrusive.
I didn't feel violated, I'm not all that bothered about showing my bits to professionals.
But it's not comfortable! Even now I feel a little like I should rearrange, except unlike men, I can't physically do that, lol.
http://www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk/cervical/
That pretty much covers what they do and how, and what you don't know but should.
I have to say, the worst part is hearing yourself cranked open. Surreal to say the least.
Having had it, however, I have to tell you to do it. I'm not preaching, that's not my style. But it's not scary, strange I grant you! But scary, no. And essential.
Think about what can happen if you don't? Weigh up the basic pro's and con's!
Do yourself a favour, get tested.
Ciao.

Parky.
I had a conversation in the pub with my lads on thursday night about Parkinsons 'rant' about Jade Goody.
He wasn't attacking her, for pity's sake, but no one has bothered to see what he actually said.
He was attcking and somewhat blaming, the media. He didn't say she was awful.
His point was that 6-8 months ago she was an advert for what was wrong with our country,
and frankly he had a point. 6 months ago, you would never have seen a nice article about her and never would you have thought that once she passed on there would be magazine dedications and freaking SHRINES! in her memory.
Yet as soon as a relatively innocent young woman dies, she is blasted into the idolisation stratosphere! Come on. I'm not contradicting my earlier post, if you read this properly, I'm merely stating that all of a sudden the woman dies and is almost being cannonised!
She wasn't a saint, and nor was she the devil personified.
But a memorial garden? Really?!
I'm with Parky, I may not have put it in quite the same way but he's right.
One minute you do anything to knock her over and kick her while she's down.
Now she's an idol simply for getting cancer and dying, because she spread the word?
If she was an average, normal non-celebrity (I use the term very loosely) she would have died in peace behind closed doors.
Get some bloody perspective. No-one is bashing her, but where is the need to praise a woman people hated last year?
Fickle people, fickle tastes, fickle media.
Sheesh!
Ciao.

Moi.
I just thought I'd do a quick "A few things about me" blogshizz.
I'm 24.
I'm from London, UK. Peckham to be precise.
I'm a Senior Administrator for the office contract of a maintenance company in the City.
I'm married to this beautifully handsome man, happily, since 13th December 2008.
I'm a Scorpio, and live up to the supposed personality traits of said star-sign.
I'm mad about football.
I'm even madder about Heavy-Metal.
And somewhere in between is make-up. I'm obsessed. Seriously.
I love films, any films apart from Manga. Bores the crap out of me.
My favourite book is the Dictionary. Grammar, punctuation and language are very important!
I really hate prejudice of any sort, and I can't stand needless violence.
I don't like arrogance, cockiness I love. In the right moment.
My favourite colour is probably red or purple. But I only ever wear any colour with black as my staple and to be honest I don't wear many colours at all.
I'm overweight, and my Husband would kill me for saying it.
My eyes are a lovely shade of brown.
I have a fabulous (if I do say do myself!) ass. Like Beyonce but with real-woman-cellulite.
My boobs are smaller than I want and my belly is bigger.
I'm happy :)
Anything else you would like to know?
Ciao!

Sunday, bloody sunday!
We had a lovely evening. Dinner, good conversation, great peoples.
Lovesly vodka too but that is neither here nor there.
Today I made a bit of a decision. I really want to lose the weight this time.
I'm not dieting, I'm changing my life. Smalled portions, healthier foods and as much excercise as I can cram into my busy lifestyle. Joining the gym once the husband gets paid and we'll then be bringing in enough money to allow me to do that.
Then I want to quit smoking. After our heavy drunken-partying-festival-going-summer of course!
I look forward to fitting into clothes and being healthy but more than that, TATTOOOOOING.
There is one kickarse tattoo that I have wanted for a long time and I decided to make that my goal.
I am aiming to lose 2 stone. I don't want to be skinny, or even that thin ( I love my big bum and child-bearing hips!) but I do want to be fit and healthy to have children.
I also want to shop in all shops. Not just forgiving shops with forgiving sizes.
Husband is happy, he's finally working and smiling and I'm getting a better atmosphere in the house and better sex :)
So all in all, although it's a boring bloody sunday, I have decided to change my life.
This time, I really mean it.
This time, I WILL SUCCEED!!!!
Ciao.
