I am SO unbelievably bored at the moment O.oWork has been closed the past two days because of snow. There's no buses from round my way into town so I couldn't have got to work anyway!
The snow looks awesome but it's frustrating not being able to go far, the only places I can go is anywhere within walking distance. Which is... the shop and that's about it. Non one I know lives within walking distance :/ Hence the boredom.
Also. I'm doing Race for Life this year - it's not until June but if anyone wants to sponsor me I would love you forever! If you're in the UK remember to tick the giftaid box! Prepare for me to spam my LJ with this over the next few months ;)

Wow, this was a randomly posted... post. I've been so out of the "posting to LJ" mood the past few weeks. Well, months I think, isn't it? I'm starting to feel more LJ-y lately though so hopefully will actually post more actual stuff. Here's hoping.

So, I have just picked up Teh Car. He has been christened Mika Pambob.he has a 6 cd changer so I'm going to burn 6 cds to keep in there for listening. This is where you come in! Suggest songs for me to put on the cds - anything at all. If I don't have the song myself though, I may come asking you for it, be warned!

- The fact that this has been re-released makes me a very happy bunny. Not many people realise this, but that album is my all time favourite. I've loved it ever since I bought it in 1994. God, I can't believe it's that old. It still sounds awesome to me. And the re-release has the Chemical Brothers remix of Voodoo People, which I've been trying to get a decent copy of for AGES. (Also, wtf, I have a Pendulum remix of Voodoo People?)
- I went shopping today. And bought stuff. Nothing too exciting, just clothes and some CDs. Humph. I just can't get into buying loads of music online on iTunes and the like. I just don't like not having a physical copy of the CD. I know I could burn the stuff I buy to CD but, well, it's just not the same, is it?
- I also bought some make up in Clinique (not MAC, bloody hell!). I wanted some new foundation and I suck royally at getting the right one so I got one of the women there to help me. She put some on for me as well and fucking hell, it looked amazing! I have rosacea and I'm so used to my face being red because of it but the way she did it, it was toned right down. I don't for one minute think that I'll do that every day but it's nice to know that what I now have can do what it does.
- Things that annoy me: Bad grammar. Yup, the their/they're/there and you/you're thing really drives me crazy. But the two that annoy me most - using "me and ___" instead of "___ and I", and using "of" instead of "have". It's should have, not should of. Would have, not would of. Could have, not... you get the picture. And it also really annoys me when people say "it's only the Internet, what does it matter?". Erm, it matters because it makes you sound like an uneducated idiot. I don't like uneducated idiots.
- I'm completely obsessed with Hadouken! at the moment. I bought some stuff by them on iTunes ages ago (one of the few things I've bought on there), but never listened to it until about 2 weeks ago. WHY DID I NOT LISTEN TO THEM BEFORE? Somehow, they're now my second artist on last.fm, after Muse. I have NO clue how that happened. Apart from that a lot of the music I listen to isn't scrobbled but, urgh, I'll shush now. But yes, go listen to Hadouken, like, now.
- My car's sunroof is broken :( It won't close, which is a bit of a bugger if it, y'know, rains. So I can't open it at the moment in case I flood my car or something. Grr. But teh Mini people are taking him away next week to have a look at it and, hopefully, fix it. Which will probably cost me about a gamillion pounds or something.
- Weird celebrity crush of the moment = Heikki Kovalainen. Well, that's if you can call him a celebrity.
- People drive me insane. S'all I'm sayin'.
- My iTunes is on random. It just played Sober by Muse and then straight after, Alcohol by CSS. Am I the only one amused by this*?
* the answer to this question is "probably, yes, seeing as you are a huge dork".

9:43am on Monday 11th August 2008
Today is Monday. Monday is the first day of a new week. This week I am going to make some changes.I started by getting my hair dyed blonde. We're not talking a little bit blonde, here, I dipped my head in a bucket of bleach and waited until I started hallucinating. It was worth the third degree burns on my scalp, as I look sexy.
Then I threw out all of my clothes and went shopping, as I am really going to go for the tarty look here. I bought some booty shorts and tried on a push up bra but that knocked me out. I'll stick with the usual. I got some adidas tracksuit bottoms too, and I wear them tucked into my socks with some old scuffed up trainers. I am really going for it.
I threw away all my music and bought RnB Anthems 2006 which I currently have thumping out of my car and disturbing anyone with taste for miles around. My ears are actually bleeding, which I take to be a sign of success. Luckily it's all going on my massive gold hoop earrings.
I decided not to be my usual fabulous creative self with my eye makeup, and instead have adopted a new makeup application technique. Basically, I squeeze a huge glob of black liquid eyeliner into my palms, and then slap it onto my face. Most of it goes near my eyes.
I've quit my awesome job and have found employment behind the tills at Asda. I am on number 17. The woman on number 16 is my new best friend, her name is Sharon and she has thirteen kids, most of whom are called Sharon.
I can't even remember how to spell the name of that band anymore. Mice? Moose? News? I'm confused.
This post was bought to you by Abbi's friend Kate, in association with the letters LOL. The moral of this story is: anything is possible. Apart from that. Or that. No you probably can't do that either. But everything else. Nearly.
I <3 you Abbi!

Rar. ( This ) is the photo that I have been scaring people with these past few days. God, my eyes look fucked.Everyone keeps on asking me if it hurts. Well, they don't, they say "my god, that must hurt a lot!" And don't seem to believe me when I say that it doesn't hurt at all. They're a little bit itchy every now and then, and the muscles around my eyes ache a bit at the end of the day, but that's all.
I keep on being majorly amused by absolutely nothing. I just look at things and the fact I can see things absolutely fine makes me laugh. It's really quite sad in a way.
Not being able to touch my eyes is driving me insane though. Especially when they get itchy. It's so hard to not just scratch them without thinking.
AND! I get to wear plastic eye shield things at night which are SO attractive. Seriously, going around with two pieces of plastic taped to your face is going to be the next big fashion, you heard it here first!

10:32pm on Monday 2nd June 2008
- Why did it take me so long to find teh bullet points button in semagic?
- I made an iGoogle theme, as I am a sad cow. Shock horror, it's Muse related. Are we surprised? It's simple as fuck becasue it's the first one I've ever done and it's xml and I know nothing about xml and I got confused but... I shall call it effective, not simple. that's my excuse anyway. But, I digress. If you are as nosy as I am, it's here - if anyone has any ideas to make it betterer tell meeee! Or if you want to use it, erm, go ahead. You can't set it as your defaul at the moment, but Google may see fit to change that. If they are mad.
- I'm going to see Foo Fighters this weekend and I'm oh so excited. hullabalo_o and I are going to kidnap Dave Grohl, so if there is a piece on the news about the lead singer of a world famous rock band going missing, you know nothing, ok?
- Next Monday I become a Fellow. This does not mean that I start wearing a pinstripe suit and a bowler hat and say "what ho, old chap" to people or anything. It's better than that! It means I am finally all super duper qualified and can put different letters after my name. Unfortunately not more letters, just different ones.
- I'm old soon. Old, old, old. And I plan to get drunk to mark this occassion. People keep asking me what I want; there's nothing I want as such, and as cliche as it sounds, all I want is something with some thought behind it. I think that this is a sign of getting old.
- I'm turning into a maths geek. About 9 years too late.
- Amusing question I just read - "so my boyfriend want to have anal sex, but i've never had anal sex. i'm afraid it won't feel as good as he says it does. any input?". Is it bad that made me snicker more than Muttley on speed? (the "any input" bit, not anal sex in general...)
- I got
mymy brother's tickets for the British Grand Prix this weekend - and he's taking me with him, yey! I am sooo stupidly excited about this, I can't wait to hear the sound of those cars up close. I'd die to go to the Italian Grand Prix as well; Monza and Monaco are the two others apart from the British that I would love to go to. - I've come to love the semicolon; I think that it's a greatly underestimated punctuation mark.
- I saw the Sex and the City film the other day - I won't give away the plot, but it was good, although predictable (I saw the last 10 minutes or so coming a mile off)
- I found a very rude looking carrot yesterday. Correction - my mother found a very rude carrot yesterday. To quote Baldrick, it was shaped exactly like a thingy! Mum was in the middle of peeling said carrots and refused to cut into this one, and it's now sat on my kitchen unit.

Oh, also: Ben bought me the worlds most bizarre cheese ever. It is (wait for it)( ... )I made rock buns today as well. I love saying I made rock buns, it makes me feel all domesticated. What I don't let on to most is that my mum actually made the mix and gave it to me, told me to put egg and milk in it and bake it. But I did the actual baking bit so it counts, mmmk?
I got fun shopping too. Although it's not really that fun, save for the fact that after a year, I finally got round to getting myself a printer! And not any old printer, it's a super duper scanner/copier thing as well, and the best thing is it's wireless. Seeing as I have a wireless network this is a good thing :D I always use a laptop so don't have any particular place for my computer, so having a normal printer would be odd as I;d have to take my laptop over to it to connect whenever I wanted to print anything. So, whoever dreamt up wireless printers is a god.
I also got a box set of Black Books today. I've never seen it but have been told numerous times that it's fantastic. I have so much stuff on dvd I have to get round to watching though, I don't know whether to watch Black Books or Skins first. Got about 10 films to get though too, should keep me occupied for the rest of the Easter break.
I need to go get food. All this food talk is making me hungry.

Guh, I've been sat here ages trying to think of what to say but I can't think of anything. It's been bloody ages since I updated my LJ and loads has happened but I can't sodding remember it all now that I'm sat here updating.
Erm...my dad's cancer has gone! He had a scan recently and the results said that it's all cleared away, he still has one more session of chemotherapy to go through though.
And I've FINALLY got my GP to refer me to a dermotologist. Only took them 18 fucking months. I've got an appointment already though, it's on Wednesday, I'm kind of apprehensive but also looking forward to maybe finally finding out what's up with it. Although I guess part of me has kind of given up on medical people because they're all so bloody useless so I'm not really getting my hopes up too much.
I wanna go out and get drunk. I don't want to wait til Friday :|

God, I really am spammy today. My LJ entries are like buses, none for ages then 3 turn up at once.I remembered other stuff I was going to say but forgot to put in that other entry and then... it didn't seem right putting them in that entry. Random things again.
1. My bosses band played on Friday and I went along to watch them and got a little drunk. I went along with someone I used to work with, Suzy (who I think knows
![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
jessica_phoenix...) - I haven't seen Suzy for a while so it was good to see her again. The bosses band played the usual stuff (they do covers), but they played a new one for them, Chelsea Dagger, which was awesome.2. I had a dream in which Kylie Minogue's new song was a cover of a Foo Fighter's song. The Kylie song was still the same song (2 Hearts), but in my dream it was originally done by the Foo's Yes, a Foo version of 2 Hearts. It was quite...odd.
3. WHY WHY WHY do people pay for that text service that tells you if you're compatible with someone if you text your name and the other person's name? Although on one level, it does make me think, if you're stupid enough to pay £9 a week for the service you must be stupid enough to believe that it's a valid reason for choosing who to go out with. Wankers.
4. WHY do people fancy Vernon Kay?
5. How on earth is "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11
6. Is this the best website ever? (Only people who have seen the IT Crowd will understand this one) OK, maybe not the best ever, but it amused me.
7. Something else that has amused me greatly - I was looking on the Eddie Izzard site yesterday and I found that there's an Eddie Izzard voice for sat nav! So I now have Eddie getting me lost instead of some lame woman who I want to spork.
8. I want to see

6:56pm on Monday 19th November 2007
Wheee, update time I guess!It's amazing how much this song makes me happy - just listening to it puts a massive smile on my face like no other.
I'm afraid I've been doing that thinking thing again. Thinking about why people (i.e., me) do things, and why they don't do things. I can't speak for everyone else (as, obviously, I'm not everyone else. That could get messy), but for me I think the reason I don't do things eventually comes down to fear. Fear of what depends on what it is, but in the end it's all the same.
It's odd the things I'm fearful of though. The usual things to be scared of I'm not (unless you count spiders, they're just WRONG). For example; when I come home there are 2 buses I can catch - one stops at the end of my road, the other stop's about 10 minutes walk away, and that walk is across the rugby pitches over the road from me. I was talking to some bloke at the bus stop the other day, and it turns out he lives in my road, but he won't get the bus that means walking over the rugby pitches as he doesn't like walking across them in the dark (there is absolutely NO lighting at all). Personally, I never even give that a second thought. When I get home from work it's pitch black dark but it doesn't worry me at all. Never has.
Most of the time when I go out at night I won't think twice about walking home on my own in the dark either. Unless I'm wearing heels, but that's different.
It used to scare me, freak me out, but now, I don't give it a second thought unless someone else brings it up. I know some people may think I'm an idiot/stupid/whatever for doing that but it really just doesn't figure with me anymore. I wouldn't let any one else do it though!
Going onto what I AM fearful of (except those damn spiders), that more or less boils down to three things - knives, rejection, and being wrong. Knives - I think that comes from seeing someone nearly (accidentally) stab themselves when I was about 6 or 7. I can still remember watching it happen *shudders*
Rejection and being wrong - in some ways I suppose those two are related. Might people reject you if you're wrong? Might being rejected be seen as being wrong about how you perceive a situation? I suppose they are linked in a way.
I think those are the two fears I need to control most - if I can do that then ultimately I think I would be able to get on with things a lot better. How to do it is the question though.
