SIGH
One of my requests for Mother's Day was a corned beef pie. My daughter asked what was my favourite meal and that was it.
Now... my daughter has been eating this pie since she was old enough to have liquidised food, My grandmother made it, my mother made it and I make it.
Lori and Sam took control of the kitchen all day for the making of the pie. I questioned why they were putting mushrooms in but was ordred out of the kitchen.
At about 4ish (we were eating at 6) I went out t
There have been times in my life when I have felt lonely. I have thought that I would come to terms with it, that it would get easier. Today I think it's probably worse than ever.
I guess I am feeling sorry for myself. It happens sometimes; more as I'm getting older and more and more of my life passes by outside the window (That's not a physical window... just saying )
I was thinking on the train today... there's about as much chance of me getting to be prime minister as of me finding s
So, I was thinking about all the sexy new sigs and thinking 'WOW I wish I could do that' and knowing it was never going to happen.
And then this pm popped up and I opened it and there was this angel flying around who blew her trumpet and announced... Lo I bring tidings of great joy, for this night shall be born on GA a sig of great sexiness.
No, seriously, it was Cia who offered to make me a sig.
And then we met on MSN and we chose a picture (which incidentally Cia took. I think it'
This weekend could have been one of the worst of my life. I had been so excited, I can't even begin to describe how excited I was. And then on the day of the trip, as I was opening the oven to warm the croissants my back went out. I broke my back in 1997 and I also have disc disease which means that the discs in my spine are crumbling away. I've lost four and another two are starting to go. When my back goes out I can look forward to a week of constant pain and regular debilitating spasms. One o
I have never been afraid of death. I have been afraid of dying, but I have pretty much made my peace with that too.
Afraid or not, at peace or not, I have always had a total fascination with death and I have been told that makes me weird. As many of you know I have a thing about unconsciousness. I find the fading of consciousness fascinating and very sexy (may I say from an entirely altruistic point of view and not through experience). As an extension of this the moment of death is even mo
Is it just me who has a real issue with the song released by Matt Cardle, the UK XFactor winner.
When we collide we come together
If we don’t we’ll always be apart
I’ll take a bruise I know you’re worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard
I mean... WHAT!!!!
It's about being in an abusive relationship where your partner essentially beats the crap out of you but you stay together because you think they love you and you love forever!!!
What kind of message does that send out... that
1. It seems like a good idea to play Guitar Hero on Expert Level... until the ten year old wins... hugely
2. the idea of playing Rapidough is just the best and it goes quitewell until... breast... when I got to snort Southern Comfort... the wrong way.
3. They drink a lot more than I do and get a lot less pissed.
4. You write stupid blog entries
5.. You can't count past five
It was a GREAT evening though :)
I have been having such a hard time lately. I won't bore you with it all as I have been depressing enough in my statuses (if that is a word)
I have struggled with my epilepsy and in particular with not having a car. I have lost my mother and my ex posted up the fact that he is in a new relationship the day before the funeral... not a surprise or a regret but the timing was crap. My daughter got sick with diabetes and then went through hell as she was unable to afford to go to Law School to
I got a new cooker today because the last one literally fell apart. I've been holding the over door closed with a paint tin for some time and last week the whole thing died. So I have a new one.
The delivery company have very few requirements. Just take out the old cooker and put it in the middle of the floor and they will take it away and put the new one in it's place... rather like the tooth fairy, not that they looked anything like fairies... except maybe fairy boot.
Anway... there we
My mother died today. I wasn't there. When I got to the hospital she was already dead and I went to her room with my sister and neice to sit with the thing that used to be my mother. i say 'thing' not out of any disrespect but to acknowledge the fact that my mother no longer inhabits it.
We sat around for a while feeling as if we should be saying or doing something but there was nothing to say or do.
I came home and lit candles, said a prayer to the goddess and contemplated what it was
What is it about falling in love with someone you know you can't have?
From a serious crush on a movie star to the straight boy/girl, it happens so many times I was wondering if there was any reason why our emotions let us down so badly in these situations... and this is what I came up with.
Falling in love with someone you can't have is safe.
Okay it's painful and angsty and heartbreaking and desperate but it's safe.
You know you can't have them, that there's no chance it will e
I have been inspired to write this by a number of recent threads
First of all... How 'real' is your online identity. Well I took that to mean are you a role player, do you pretend to be someone else, hide behind a facade and my first reaction was ... no of course I'm not. I don't hide behind any facade, I am exactly who I say I am. I am completely open and honest, what you see is what you get... etc etc. But am I honest? Am I completely honest? Becuase the only pictures I have posted here on
Okay... so I have dipped a toe into the world of blogging because I have been genuinely confused about something and I thought that by sharing the confusion sense might appear as it sometimes does.
I have been told three times in the last two days that I am 'too nice'. So what the hell is 'too nice'? I have always thought that this was what it was all about... to be as nice as possible, as often as possible to as many people as possible. Being nice makes me happy, being niced on makes them
