Doing the Blog thing

Very belatedly i saw the above last night.....I had no idea it was a horror of sorts...I dont want to spoil things for those who have yet to see it but the faint/weak hearted should becareful.....It is like Jurassic Park in places...almost leaving me with a heart attack...other than that i thought it was ok, maybe ***'s.

Afterwards, went to a lovely Thai palce called YUM YUM- the food and decor were absolutely fabulous and i am determined to have either my birthday or Hen party there. If you are ever in stoke Newington- you really must go...**** 1/2 ( sometimes you can be a little too attentive)

Other than that....a very dreary, windswept and boring day for me.

Most people seem to dread going back to work on Monday having got a bit too attached to the weekend......I seem to have a delayed body clock and today, i experienced all the lazyness, dread and tiredness normally associated with Mondays....what a bummer!!!!

I did however manage to drag myself out of the house to the hairdressers, clutching my sunglasses and dodging speed hungry drivers on the A406- evidently, it is easier for me to summon up the energy to be pummelled senseless, blasted by hot air and have my faint (but not faint enough) moustache ripped from it's roots than it is for me to attend uni for 3 hours.

While i remember, i would just like to do a nursey thing and ask you all to wear protection while fornicating (oh, that word kills me)...my friend (let's call her ,Cara) from Cameroon told me a disturbing tale yesterday, Her friend (let's call her Charity) died of AIDs two months ago but before this had been living with her. Angry at being HIV +. Charity had slept her way through Germany , Greece and Cameroon before coming to Hackney, London.....single men and married men too!! Cara told her many times to stop her wicknedness but the woman was apparently amoral...eventually, Cara Kicked Charity out when she began sleeping with a close married male friend- she tried to warn him but he said he was jealous!!!

I was really freaked out by this as imagine each person sleeping with atleast 3 other women???? surely the rebirth of an epidemic....I'm wondering shall i ever have sex again?? (just joking ........kind of )

time to

I love Mondays....it's a nice gentle start to the week as the first lesson starts at 12.30. Have a bit of running around to do- upgrade phone, exchange a top, drop clothes at charity and drop refund in at bank.

Breakfast today is CocoPops and coffee...whilst watching Wanted Down Under.

I've just realised that since i can commit to writing on here everyday (and enjoy it) I will reintroduce writing towards a longer piece of work...just 200 words or so a day...so it doesn't side track me from uni work.....may get three chapters out of that after a while.

Better hurry up....

Hope you have as enjoyable a Monday as poss !!!

I missed church this morning as my other half refused to get up so we fell back asleep until 2pm- I am very disgusted with myself seeing as it was so mild today. Nevermind- we did get quite a bit done today with a team effort- did a mini spring clean, he made me breakfast and got back to basics.

Later on visited his cousin who has a new 5 day old daughter. when I stepped into the house i remembered why I don't socialize with them normally. I wouldn't say i'm a snob but i do have quite strong opinions on things- like smoking around children!! Really makes me cross that parents put their children in harms way like that....they have immature lungs, immature immune systems which obviously isn't a great mix anyway. Smoking is one thing but smoking weed- ARGH!!!! one kid there- a 9 year old boy is really naughty so when he was playing up, i told him to say- "the smoking makes me naughty"....LOL i do hate to interfere.....My partner told me off as the kid will definitely say it- i ended up telling him off for telling Me off...I just hope those kids don't develop asthma or worse!

Thank you for your support everyone- I have finally completed my essay and am giving it in today!!! So i can enjoy some of the weekend- at least before the next assignment- such is t he world of the student nurse (this is very soon- no rest for the pleasant *sigh*)

As yet i have had no breakfast- I have not done the shopping yet- i feel i will perish from lack of juice/water so i guess it's coffee and a few red seedless grapes again.

Yesterday, was quite entertaining- I am due to qualify as a children's nurse this summer and went with my friend to an unnamed London hospital (i may blog about my work so must preserve confidentiality)in a very posh area (not hinting at all)...we loved the hospital and both vowed to apply for jobs there. Starving we used our vouchers to get indian for lunch, taking it to go as we'd already bunked one lecture and didn't want to miss another....anywho, we got on the bus clutching our purchases (mine cold, hers hot)- considerately not eating on public transport, this oldish lady sat next to me muttering "oh the smell, of the smell"- literally, clipping her nose with her fingers and shooting murderous glances at us....How rude!! my friend and i laughed and decided to ignore her commotion- she soon got off two stops later.

Part 2 of the journey on the tube- we picked up an evening standard left behind, and i read the front page story out loud ( dozens of Romanian children freed after being forced to steal, pickpocket and beg)- My friend is Slovak and tells me about the neighboring countries and she absolutely detests Romanov gypsies- I couldn't remember that fact and ask " oh, isn't that where gypsies come from?" "hmmm-yes" my friend said " They are one of the poorest countries"
Next to her, a man evidently from Romania-butted in and said you should never judge a country you haven't been to- it is not poor everywhere. My friend replied, that she had in fact been there and the poverty was rife in rural areas. He conceded that.....but corrected us that gypsies came from everywhere...we conceded this....However, it was impossible to not to notice the gleaming Rolex on his wrist.....hmmmmmm

Today - I missed breakfast, well, not entirely (1 coffee, scrambled egg and chunk of bread)but on here i did- no matter, i will ramble now to make up for it.

I felt like complete crap all day having fallen asleep after 2am but having to get up at 6am to finish off this essay- i should have known better than to trust my sleepy self- leave your work- you can finish it in the morning Ha! Did i ever......i did get to 2461 words just 500, i will will will DO IT today....so no more blogging please as you're all distracting me

Other things, it seems to be a very depressing week in general- Stabbings everywhere, impending recession, multiplying civilian casualties in war, earthquakes- death, gloom, death, death, doom- EVERYWHERE....I might give the news a bit of a wide berth for now- it's not good for my happy bubble and i don't want to get desensitized to the point i'm un-shockable (almost there but still destroyed by each teen death.) *sigh*

I have just left the warmth and comfort of my bed- it wasn't by choice.
My Fiancé, a worker of the night or baker to be exact,
saved us, saved us both from the extreme irritation of my alarm
by switching it off and jumping on me before snoring to sleep.

There was no exchange of bodily fluids and i waited,
approxiamately 9 minutes for my alarm to return-it didn't
so rather than be snored at i rolled out of bed, shut the door
turned the sky sports to BBC news and had a pee.
Since i have been forced to get up on time- i may
arrive to uni bang on time for a change-one can hope.

Breakfast today is coffee and 1 seedless red grape
i'm not yet ready for anything else but i did manage
to prepare my lunch for today-oh joy!
So i can save a whole £4.

My wedding dress went unsold. My essay now stands at 1826 words
which in fact is progress from 1500. At this pace,
Monday's deadline should be met. waffle waffle

So i'm up and ready to do the blog thing before i go into uni and commit myself to 4 hours of droll background noise while i think of play & novel ideas. Today breakfast is red seedless grapes covered in strawberry shape yoghurt with a mug of Milo- ummmmm. That would be pmt's decision- i normally dont have the time or appetite for it.

I figure i'll just write on this thing everyday as soon as i get up- sort of like my morning pages so don't expect anything because it is likely that there will be little consistency, lots of disjointed/opinionated/random thoughts....so please enjoy.

It's amazing the things you will do to prevent yourself from doing what you are supposed to do- like my essay which has a deadline of 28/01/08. I am 50% done but instead have tidied the house, gone to church, read the mail on sunday from cover(s) to cover(s), registered on blog.co.uk and spontaneously decided to sell my wedding dress on ebay. The dress i haven't worn yet but i just didn't like the way it was looking at me. I've since changed my mind again and like it quite alot so i am rather hoping noone is willing to stump up the considerable price- thank god for reserve prices!
