January 29 New Job!I went for an interview today, that I was invited to attend last Friday and have just been offered the job!! I am so chuffed!
Six weeks of unemployment can just drive you loopy so I am really happy to be back in the game. I am now a freelance Outdoor Crown Court Clerk for criminal proceedings.
The pay isn't great, granted, but the experience is great and the opportunities to go higher up the ladder are definately there, so here's to the new job and who knows if I get an interview for a training contract when I apply for them
I am sorry about the previous blog but believe me, as much as my friends joke about my fortune in stalkers, and ask if I have any spare, they are very scary to have as the first one I didn't know was doing it until others spotted it. This one I dont know what is going to come next, I've had the I cant live without you, I'll kill myself routines and I never know what he is going to do next. I have had to shut down an online account I had, tried blocking him on my phone and pretty soon I will have to change my email address that I have had for the past 9 years or so. Very stressful stuff, and I dont want a death on my conscience but as I have told him never to contact me again and yet he is still trying to contact me what can I do? My other half knew of the trouble before christmas but not the recent stuff as he is under a great deal of pressue from work and we all know the police just dont give a rat's ass. If I respond to his emails and tell him to f' off yet again he will just keep emailing thinking I then read his mails. I think the best course of action is to ignore the mails and if they persist then disclose his details as a Colour hating group or something so he gets abusive calls lol! Oh I dunno, but it is a tad frightening.
Wish me the best guys Xx BOGOF!!If you would like a male stalker, about 30 years of age with a northern accent then please let me know.
This is not my first stalker but I am hoping he is the last. If he continues stalking then I may just have to post his address, email and phone number on every website possible and ask people to harrass him as much as he is me. I have been stressed out to the point of throwing up at night, him almost clinging to my leg begging not to leave him and many many sleepless nights and nightmares that he will appear outside my front door.
I have to warn ya M, if you continue this lark and think 'I'll carry on because it makes me feel better' you do not know me very well as I am not only a hard business woman but a woman you do not want crossed. You may still read my site once every so often, so I am telling you in black and teal: LEAVE ME ALONE. You will regret it.
No more of me being nice, I warned you in my letter never to contact me again as you have had enough chances. DO NOT CONTACT ME EVER AGAIN. I will get the lads round if you come down south. Be warned.
To everyone else, hello and I wish you all well
XxXx January 28 New Birth- Well done Steff!This a an entry dedicated to the new arrival: Miss Emilia Elizabeth Brown and her proud parents.
She was born yesterday at 7 pounds and 8 ounzes. Wearing her very first jump suit which her Godmother bought her (cest moi). The cutie has two Godmothers, both of whom wear odd socks- so not much hope for her from that quarter LOL.
Usually I think babies look old and ugly before their time but I waive that view for this little one as she is the result of my uni flatmate and her long term boyfriend Andy. Well done guys, you must be proud as punch. I'd like to be one of the first people to welcome you to the world and wish you the very best future possible!
See you for the wedding, first steps/words, tantrums and first driving lesson- biker Godmother to the rescue LOL!- I'll buy her a baby helmet, not bonnet lol! Lets groove this chick up! We'll raise her the right way- teach her engines, law, clothes designs- it is all good!!
One last lot of congratulations from me, all the very very best for the future. This babysitters crtieria: I dont mind nappies, baby food (yum?) or crying, just no baby sick ok? Thanks. Call me anytime lol
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX January 26 Lil insight...This is just a blog for those who visit my site but have absolutely no idea who I am, or just for those who I chat to but again, dont know much about me personally.
So I thought I'd blog a little bit about myself and you can know a bit more about the wacky author of this site.
If you have been visiting for a while you will gather that I like blue, since my themes always seem to have some form of blue in them. For those who are first timer's or fleeting visitors you will note from my front page that I am fairly into my music. So that much you haven't gained much insight. When you start delving around the site, you will see my dream list of things I would like to do; such as travel the world, own my own house, my own business and enjoy life. You will also note my immediate want list, for the things that are less dramatic. From these lists you will start to realise I am a biking chick but too skint to do much about it. Through my blogs you will get a feel of my silly sense of humour and one of the qualities that makes me good for my intended job. My impartiality and ability to see at least two sides to an argument. No I am not attempting to be a mediator, but a solicitor. Not an ambulance chaser 'have you had an accident...' (yes we all have at one point in our lives now f' off!) lol.
So what can I tell you outside of what you can gather for yourselves? Well what do you want to know? The basics? I'm a 23 year old ambitious female that lives in the suburbs of south east london. I studied at DMU in Leicester, some of the best times of my life have been made there. Ambitions that have taken my fancy over the years: hairdresser (we have all been there girls) eurpoean representative, German/English interperator, counsellor, masseuse, singer, solicitor and practical business advisor to companies. All the ideas I still think are groovy, I dont want to settle down to just one.
So what do I want for the future? Well as in the rest of my life I keep an open mind. When opportunities come you have to be willing and open to change. But failing that my general (realistic) view is to finish my current post grad degree: the Legal Practice Course, and move up to the Midlands with my partner and buy a house together. I'll let you in on one personal thing of my life. The person that I am going to move in with has proposed to me twice (the only person to propose to me, even though I have proposed to many many men and women when I was at school- what can I say, I was cheeky!). We are not currently together, although he swears when he was proposing it was merely for 'infomative purposes' (how legal is that?!!). Hmm. But after years of me bouncing about and enjoying my freedom, I am thinking that it is time to be serious and settle down and the one person that I have ever seriously thought about it is him. So now, the clubbing crazy girl is soon to be growing up into a business/mother/wife. Scary how times change isn't it? But all this will probably not start happening until September time so i may just have a few crazy times whilst I wait for my degree to come to an end... January 24 What's to ComeHello hello hello.
I have decided to take a rare day off uni/looking for a job today and doing the things you never get to usually do (ie household chores).
Things that you can expect me to put on this site in the up coming weeks are as follows:
Reviews on:
Snow Patrol: Eyes Open
The Killers: Sam's Town
The Kooks: Inside In Inside Out
John Legend: Get Lifted
Five for Fighting: America Town
The last two albums aren't the most recent releases but are good artists so I thought I'd try the albums out. I have briefly heard all the above albums but haven't had the chance to form an opinion on them. I have no idea what else I will do, I had the notion to put 'Louise: Naked' (the song guys) up in replacement of Nickelback. Talking of which as of last night I have been given back my Nickelback and Bonjovi albums which were 'appropriated' when we went to their gig last June in Milton Keynes! Yeah, some time this mate's had them, they have been sorely missed but are now back home
I hope ye are all well and getting over those annoying colds/flu. I have pretty much got over mine, just the sniffles left really.
All the best- cant believe we woke up to snow down south here!! Groovy stuff, not for commuters but for those jobless bums or students as we are commly known,- love chucking snow down each other's backs- ye have been warned!! January 23 Razorlight: RazorlightOk, sorry for the delay in writing this, bird flu does disable you somewhat...
So! This album:
In a word; boppy. The music is such that it insists you shake your hips, head and shuffle. Oh yes, that fabulous shuffling, you have to to do it, we all know the one. It's like you have to strive not to join in singing, or more prominantly- 'do, dee,do'-ing.
This album is up beat for the modern working person, it is more mainstream (not a set genre, but probably indie/rock) so you dont need an acquired taste to get on with it. it has the released tunes 'Before I fall to Pieces' and 'America' which are groovy tunes.
This kind of album may not be an all time classic, but it certainly represents the here and now of our time and of my generation ie prob those in their 20's. I'd recommend buying and listening to this for a pick me up, or just before you go on a night out. January 19 Theatre Play: The Unexpected GuestWritten by Agatha Christie.
Showing at: Bromley Theatre
I have just got through the front door and decided I had to blog this:
GO AND WATCH IT!!!!!!
Thats about it really. The actor/ess's were great, naturally the storyline was good. Fab stuff. Loved it. Totally recommended. Nothing else needs to be said. HeyHey everyone,
I hope you are all well. I thought I would pop online to put my thoughts on Paolo Nutinis album up and then go back to bed as this lady now has a full serving of flu. Lovely. Selfish I know, but hey- someone obviously felt it needed to be shared but I want to keep this all to myself. Yup. Rude huh?
A quick note of thank you to Steve, for your help and kind words.
Another quick note to Jason: I am dosing myself up to the eyeballs so I can go to the Theatre this eve- Agatha Christie and then a classical concert tomorrow- string trio (no double bass) with my fellow working class friend lol- so huh! Bovverrd! lol.
I hope all of you are well, or on the mend
All the best
XxXx Paolo Nutini - These StreetsFirst of all I would just like to state that this is a beautiful album. There done. Moving on:
This takes music back to the basics; a vocalist with a guitar. Some simple yet beautful tunes. Piano and drums also feature in the album but mostly the music revolves around Nutini and his guitar. Not many people can rely on just their voice and a guitar to pull off a beautiful tune, but Nutini does this and makes it appear effortless.
As I have said before, the music iteslf is simple enough and the lyrics follow suit. One song is about a pair of shoes no less. It certainly doesn't make the song boring. Nutini himself has a unique and easy to listen-to voice. This guy is 18 years old? Pull the other one! Seriously? Apparently so. With a perspective that is mature for his age (this is a man we are talking about here lol) and a singing voice that emits talent this is groovy music.
Let me put this into perspective of whether you would enjoy the music:
Imagine sitting down in a restaurant with a close friend or partner on a summers evening with a warm breeze around you. You are listening to a live musician and settle in for a relaxing yet uplifting evening.
There features a beautiful cello and piano duet in one song. Groovy stuff.
I will leave you with one last gift: 10:59 January 13 Reviews to come...Hey everyone, sorry been busy with uni work and looking/applying for jobs that my reviews on the recent albums are taking a while. The reviews on Razorlight's album and Paolo Nutini's album (sorry if I have just spelt the name wrong! I'm just quickly doing this, work calls) are almost done so when I bring the paper down I'll type up my thoughts on them.
I'll post both reviews up soon....
All the best for you all
XxXx January 05 Brotherly LoveIf you are having a bad day or need cheering up then I'd recommend moving on to the next blog.
I dont normally moan or rise to the bait when being slagged off behind my back. But it has come to a point when it is your own flesh and blood that is the one that starts the rumours behind my back yet is nice as pie to my face. My brother has been bad mouthing me to many of our mutual friends and anyone that will listen for many years now. To the point that I dont plan to do anything with him as he drops me at the last second and gets someone else to tell me....
I have had enough this time as, as always it doesn't involve just me but others as well. My mate Troy is used to being slagged off by his 'mate' my bro but this time it is someone else who has recently been kicked down by his last g/f. To then have someone he barely knows shouting his mouth off about him and the same about me has to hurt. It certainly does me.
The reasons why my bro does this? Ever since we were small he seems to think that I am the favoured kid, the one that everyone gets on with and is paranoid that he will get left behind. I understand why he does what he does but he doesn't understand that he just makes it worse for himself. People that get to know me and I call friends, know that I dont lie and I am a genuine person, for him to start being bitchy others then think how sad and insecure he is. I wish I could help him but he sees me as the problem I cant be the one to help him. So in the meantime I am portrayed as many bad things, him the attention seeker and both of us hurt. Ironic that what he does only makes things worse.
Once again I am sorry for you reading this, new year new start but somethings carry on year to year. My family is the reason that I want to move many miles away, which is also sad as I will miss many of the friends I have made.
I truly hope everything is going better for you, I could never wish bad for anyone. January 02 Jane Fallon: Getting Rid of MatthewThis is a recent publication by Penguin Fiction, no not the child publishers lol.
The storyline revolves around a woman who is dating a married man who realises when he finally leaves his wife for her, that she doesn't actually want him. So she then tries different ways to get rid of him...
The book tends to be more about people and how we interact with each other more than slamming women for being bitchy. One critic claimed that it was like reding 'your worst enemy's diary', which when viewed as a bitchy woman, is true. It goes through the thought process of a typical woman where you, as a woman or man can see as a 3rd party both where the woman is going wrong but understand why she is doing as she is. Unlike a lot of books you dont have that moment where you think 'Oh God- now why did you do THAT?!!!'. The twists to the story aren't obvious but aren't out of the blue, it feels just like real life happening to someone you know. I wont say how it ends because I think it had a great and fairly realistic end.
It is a book about real life, issues and people. To see how people tick and how others view them, the lies that we tell and how they effect others.
I found, like all good books I couldn't put it down. I ended up reading the 410 pages in one and a half days.
Great reading material for the modern living woman and an insight into women for the men that don't understand women (all of you, we know!).
Again, recommended reading.
The Feeling: Twelve Stops and HomeThis is an upbeat album, easy to listen to and makes you want to bop around wherever you happen to be listening to it. It has the lighthearted attitude of a musical without the annoying music, if that makes any sense lol! It has a slight Queen influence in one or two of the songs and for those who are rocky it has one or two brief guitar solos. It doesn't fall into any set category of music, putting music in boxes is not my thing. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes modern indie/pop music and likes singing or dancing along to music. It is the kind of album that will cheer you up and leave you feeling happy.
Recommended for the music collection. January 01 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!Just a note to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!
I hope you saw the new year in in a fabulicious way last night and have had a lovely day today. Most people have had a fab time and are enjoying the new year already, myself included. Last night was great fun, what I was doing exactly at midnight shall be a closely guarded secret lol- but the eve otherwise consisted of rockets, sparklers, 100 poppers, wacky string, masses of choccie, pizza for munchies... oh yes, the list goes on... Needless to say the place to be was mine last night lol.
I wish all of you the very best. My new years resolution? To be a better person. That's it. Just the one. Anyone attempting to do any resolutions or do you not bother coz you know you are only going to fail anyway? lol.
Things that I plan to do this year include: finish uni, move out of the parents house (for good this time), get a good paying job and buy my first bike (once having done my CBT). Not a huge list but good steps for me. Ideally love to watch the BSB, WSB and MotoGP at Brands Hatch of course, but money and time dicatates that, also love to do the Direct Access course but again, my mortgage/rent will determine that lol!
So that's my plan for this year, what's yours? Bet ya have no idea! lol. Have no fear, most have no idea either!
All the very best,
Soon to post my review on the Feeling's Album: Twelve Stops and Home. I am currently working my way through 8 of the latest albums including: Snow Patrol, Razorlight, Five for Fighting, John Legend and The Kooks. |
