R.I.P TV

Where has all the good TV gone???? To a little place in the sky perhaps? Or a hole to rest until winter. I mean seriously what is left!! Greys anatomys, gossip girl, desperate housewives, heroes, 90210, CSI:NY, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty, The Apprentice UK have all had their series finales.

ER has finished, Scrubs has or hasnt finished =S

TV bosses over the UK/USA look alive and put some drama on over the summer - i need something to watch while I'm not sipping cocktails and lying on sun loungers...Please don't force me to watch any more re runs of friends - i've watched every episodes like a billion times - the sad thing is that might not be an exaggeration

7 things that drive women nuts??????

I found this article online -- 7 items things men do that drive women nuts
Here is the link to the article http://dating.uk.msn.com/matchscene/article.aspx?articleid=3351&lid=0&TrackingID=511021&GT1=60750 thought I'd share.
I'm sure I could write a much better list.....

-------

O little blog of mine, how i've neglected you - gone of the days when I could write blog after blog
It seems I've found a life outside your virtual world

Random thought of the today

I've been attending a first aid course and Ive decided I really don't like performing CPR on plastic dolls it's creepy and weird..

I'm back....

...from revision hell - ready to blog once again !

Revise this!

It's been or day of two since I wrote a blog.

Today is take the topic of revision..something I should be doing 24/7 till my exams (!)

Why is when i need to revision there is better things to do, my brain gets bored more easily, i forgot everything about the topic i'm study but have lots of other useless info.

I'm not a great fan of exams. I panic. Within the first five minutes if I have do something in my head to write - it's not gonna happen easily

I follow all the tips on how to revise, how to write good essays ... but I still fall short

But now I've come to think --I try as well as I can - If i fuck up then at least I tried. Maybe I'm not suited to exams - it's not my learning or assessment style.

Off to revise..............wish me luck and good luck to my fellow revisers

Mr Maverick ;)

I'm watching Top Gun...so thought I'd give it some blog love...


The film were tom cruise doesnt annoy!! The whole crazy religion/cult puts me off him.. I was part of Team Kidmen.. although the whole Tomkat thing is ok...the kid is adorable


Anyway I'm loving the soundtrack -- take my breath away, you've lost that loving feeling, danger zone

Planes, the bike (!) I really want a call sign like Maverick or Goose


Even time I look at Goose Im thinking it's Dr Mark from ER though and what's with the tash???
Plus William Walker from Brothers & Sisters ....I'm such a telly addict

I think there is where my man in uniform fantasy comes from...

Hello Mr Cruise...

My mum sent me an officer and a gentle men -- Richard Gere in the white suit - in the words of paris - that's hot!

Even Val Kilmer is hot in this film - thought of course everyone loves a bad boy...

I don't like Mondays...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdA-2oXzk10&feature=related
Boomtown rats and Bob Geldof - I don't like Mondays

Although it's a bank holiday! But as I'm non worker anyway - everyday is a bank holiday
Monday will never be Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat or Sun - it's a whole different day ...
Monday is a day for Traffic, things to go wrong

24th Jan is the most depressing day of the year...who knew
On the same article
Reasons to be cheerful
1) Tomorrow's another day ---- Well duh!!
2) Smiling is infectious – if you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours --why should I share my happiness with random strangers?!
3) Laughter is good for you --- ok....

It's May 4th so at least it's not 24th Jan

What can we do to avoid the Monday Blues?
1. Don’t Spend Your Weekend Thinking of Monday
2. Take Pride in Mundane Tasks -----there is so much wrong with that statement. There are called 'mundane' for a reason!!! Cause there are dull, boring, neccessary, one you begin you only start again the next day.
3. Take Exercise --- pick yourself up, stretch, put your pjs on and sleep till Tuesday!

University of ...

I'm a University Student in my 2nd - BSc Psychology ( yes get me!)
University has taught me the following things.... outside of the lecture rooms and books

1. You can drink as much as you want -- till your sick on the street and can't remember your morals, or at least your name and address
2. When you have washing - you can never find change
3. Some people will never have the ability to cook or clean -- and there is no point trying to change them
4. Washing up isnt fun! But neither is eating of the floor...
5. Daytime TV is given a more representation - Why I enjoy a bit of daily chat with my lunch
6. It's amazing how much you can clean with baby wipes
7. Poundland is amazing - £1 for so much
8. When you've had a few drinks you'll eat anything from anywhere
9. If there was a degree in procrastination - I'd certainly get a 1st
10. When do things early, we you can leave them till the last minute
11. Afternoon naps become a regular thing
12. You know the plot of every soap or episode of Friends but aren't aware of the real life news
13. The TV guide determines revision and nights out
14. Powerpoint can be amazingly fun or totally dull - there is nothing in between
15. Your printer will never be your friend when you want to actually print work
16. Free food and unlimited drinks/food is not something to be missed
17. Free gifts are cool, even if you put them in the bin a week later
18. You have a folder of random photos on your computer ---your flatmates door covered in toilet paper, innate objects
19. Receiving parcels and letters is a competion (my parents care that I've left home - but yours sadly do not)
20. When it comes to revision time - you room will never be cleaner and your washing done anything to avoid learning!

That's all I've got but doubt I'll add more!

Airport thoughts

Call me a geek but strangely I get exicted about going to airports...

My favourite airport is London Heathrow -- isnt it sexy?!
I love wandering round airports - i like planes, i like flying, pilots ;)
Duty free shopping -- i think its cheaper - you buy more - more presents for me!
I got delayed once going out but it was a school trip and they gave all of us money for breakfast so I was rather pleased.
But I do dislike McCarran airport - Las Vegas. We were returning home - I stood in a Q for a lifetime it was so annoying and then we got through to security did it all fine and then randomly they decided we were person 000nth to be selected to be double checked, searched our bags and us. Then it's like oh shit our flight --- run forest run !!
Chicago airport - just saw inside the airport - it was only connecting. remember looking out the window thinking yes that looks like a windy city!


I think I'll call this part 1 of my airport thoughts

Celebrate

In the words of Mad-donna

Holiday
Celebrate
Holiday
Celebrate
If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice
Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday

I've booked a holiday!!! Grand Canaria ---rather exicted.
With my two best mates -- so I'll be blogging bout airports, currency, flights in the next few days
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Canaria

New Travel Goal

New travel goal (will add it to my past list)



I wanna go to Thaliand ...



My grandand's brother was killed during the 2nd World War.

Sidney Unwin aged 24 Chungkai War Cementry - I'd like to go and get some photos of the grave, pay my respects and all.

Bras....

I was thinking of topics to write about and I thought of bras...

My mum and sister told me of an article

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5254406/Women-spend-2700-on-bras-but-only-wash-them-six-times-a-year.html

We spend £2,700 and only wash them 6x a year

Ewwww I wash mine more than that -- "women risk skin irritation through a build-up of bacteria" i'd rather not.

Sometimes I have bra hate. Going shopping for them is a nightmare ..a bra fitting - i cringe thinking about it. Some has been old lady measuring me while I stand there, who then searches the shop for the most ugly, horrid contraption that might as well have no sex please written in bold letters. I've only ever done that once.

You spend huge amounts of money on bras, underwear and matching sets. A guy can just turn up in a pair of anything. The double standards of it all.

Breast/Boobs/Tits/The girls if they arent big enough - made we should cut them up and put plastic inside! I don't think so. Who invented that surgery?? I'm sure it wasnt a women. When more men make themeselves bigger then I'll consider becoming a plastic doll until then I shall be pushing up, up and away with the hidden support.

p.s. Hope you like the picture it made me laugh...

Love

My friend and I talking over a msn, wondering why we are single? and if there is any good points. So....



So reason for being single............



1. I dont want to share - beds, food, sofa - get off !
2. I have the remote and I dont have to watch your films
3. Love isnt a fucking fairytale - it's hard
4. Boys smell - why dont they get that???
5. I'm not a lesbian but sometimes I just wanna scream and cry at things boys do
6. What happened to girl power??? Just cause the spice girls is over doesnt mean it cant live on..
7. I don't have to watch sports and pretend to care
8. You don't make good shopping partners... and what else do I do with my time??
9. Leaving the toilet seat up - eeewwwww
10. Jealous - i dont want to spend my time thinking about you thinking about anyone else but me

But

1. Kissing, touching, sex -- enough said
2. I like the smell of aftershave and I can't keep going round shops spraying myself - I look weird
3. I want someone to cuddle up to on that big sofa
4. I dont like football but love that you care about it - plus if you want run around a field getting all dirty and in little shorts feel free, but lets me look at other players too ;)
5. My relationship status needs to be changed
6. I can join the club that celebrates valentine's day - instead of looking at cards complaining about how it's totally been destroyed and a complete material holiday
7. I like presents for no reason - buying yourself flowers is totally sad
8. You make me smile like no one else does
9. I want someone to send me nice messages so my shit days dont depend badly
10. I don't want to be alone with a cat
11. In the words of Mariah : I cant live if living is without you......................

Signed Carrie Bradshaw (without the Fags) and with creative inspiration from her Miranda (expect she's not ginger)

Some Like It Hot

So Marilyn Monroe... one hell of a crazy personal life. But still remember for her acting, style, sexiness - and she was hot - a fine example that you'd have to been skinny to be something. Not bad for Norma Jean

Wise words

If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.

A career is wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it on a cold night.

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best --- one of my favourite quotes, I wish I'd said this - it's true.

Hot Fireman Wanted!

I was talking bout fire the other day and being serious...today I'll take the lighter side

Does this exist??? If so --- get in touch and provide proof ;)

Good times

Right now - Good times is

Music -- some old stuff right now Elvis, Queen...

Driving @ weekends -- without the traffic and stupid drivers and bicyles everywhere

the thought of a holiday

Showers and my smelly things - strawberry shower gel, cherry body butter - I heart the body shop

Handwash -- I dont want the "flu" stay away!

Blogging, quite addicted..

thinking bout a certain someone but he shall remain nameless ;)

Fire safety!

I'm having a fire safety rant cause people dont care enough bout it

Plan your escape, test your alarms or buy new ones and batteries

Don't save money when its your families life that's at stake - Pull your finger out

Be outside the house with your family and pets when the hot firemen come cause you dont want to be waiting.

Everything else can be replaced, you dont get another Mum, Dad, Daughter or Son again

Kids...

Some days I love children. And other times not so much
My nephew ( 1) could test the most patience person but he has his moments when I love his Auntie and his a right little charmer!!! XOXO and cute things like Nanny is in the Sky. Future warning to all 3 year old girls ..
My neice is going through her grow up, rebellious phrase..don't speak much likes to be cool and adult like - she's only 5 but whatever she'll be back to normal in like a month
Nephew (2) doesnt really do much he's a baby so will shall let him off but he did tell me i'm the best auntie much better than his other one! (winner)

S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G

Ok shops everywhere - whats with the lack of anything above a dress size 10?? And dont get me started on the shoes (!) I fall in love with a pair of shoes and they are too big or too small!
Sometimes I go shopping and I can buy everything I touch and other times there is nothing I like/looks nice/right size/colour/price ...
I love shopping dont get my wrong but..
Shopping is a sport, its a competion who can wear the best outfit and impress.
You carry heavy bags, march stairs and shops left, right and centre
Remember sizes and pin numbers
Avoid other people who just want to stop right in front of you or exactly what you want
I've been a sales assistant I know how stressful and tiring it is and how boring it can get. I've dealt with Mr and Mrs Bitch before - but I've found sales assistants that I want to drag out the shop and deal them to go home and do something more useful.
Decisions too - deciding if its nice and doesnt make you too tall/fat/short or make your legs too wide/arms look fat/have no shape, make you like your grandma/like your off to a funeral
Fellow shoppers shop with a smile for you are not the only one who just thinks - heck I'll put my pjs on and never leave the house instead

Harold the Helicopter

I have a thing for helicopters --- it's not weird
I've flown over ...
1. Quay, Cambridgeshire
2. New York City, USA
3. Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
4. San Franciso, CA, USA
5. Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, saw Area 51 (aliens!) and landed at a Ranch
6. Las Vegas (Strip at Night) NV, USA
And it's been a while since I've flown ...
Booked a helicopter flying lesson!! yayaya

So....

I was gonna read lots of books...(see summer of...reading)
It's not going to well...still reading wicked which has taken ages ...usually i get a book and it's read cover to cover in about 3 days. Here's hoping I get my reading bug back.

TV ranting

I watch a lot of TV, I'm such a sofa potato
I watch it on TV and on the computer so I'm up to date with the American stuff
But I cant help but make sarcastic comments bout it all
If you dont know what's happening in shows dont read =)

Desperate housewives
Ding dong edie brit is dead. Best death ever, I felt sorry for the tramp at end. From day one she was the trouble marker and had quick wit lines. But she had the husband (idiot villian, he looks so dodgy) he tried to kill her, hit by a car and then the wire comes down .. Would have been amazing if she survived -- i would have written it for her to walk away glamoursly and never return.

Heroes
Nathan and Peter -can you tell what I'm thinking H-O-T
And superpowers give me a Petrelli anyday

Greys Anatomy
Watching Mer -- i see myself - expect i'm not a skinny blonde, doctor.
I love the music and the voice overs
And if anyone wants to cover a lift in photos of brain to marry me - I say hell yer

My fave sandwiches

Very important blog -- boredom gets me so I'm writing bout sandwiches
Please comment if you share my love of certain sandwiches!

1. Peanut butter (smooth) with Strawberry Jam on white bread
2. Cheese, pickle (small chunk) and ham on either white or brown bread
3. Egg and cress!! mmm in a roll
4. Chicken Crunch from Greggs amazing!

The Virtual Me

She's my alter ego, she's amazing
She can do anything - she knows everything
She has more friends than can cope with
She can be invisible
She can break the law
She can have fights without hurting anyone but totally kick their arse
She is less of a bitch than me - her friend delete helps her

;)

I've decided to read lots of books this summer that have been on my wishlist for a while.



Wicked -- I'm currently before I go see the musical (eek!)

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz -- read like 20 pages cause I cant just read one book

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

The Catcher in the Rye

The curious case of Benjamin button

The Diary of a young girl by Anne Frank

The rest of the Harry Potters - 5,6,7 (i started 5 never finished it and skimmed the other two)



Lets see if by the end of Sept I've finished them all!

I Heart ____

1. youtube song mash ups like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRHfd9Yto0A

2. TV shows that I can re watch - Will and Grace and Gilmore Girls (that crazy mother and daughter - who talk way too fast and eat too much junk food i'm suprised they still fit in the door of Lukes)

3. My warm thermal blanket and hoody when I feel like poo

4. Crumpets! Warburtons crumpets with strawberry jam - I love it

5. Having quite a bit of money in the bank and planning how to spend it ;) --- little trips, barry m and make up cost i've got a massive list, books

Amy is ...

Social networking ---who doesnt have it???

Not a bebo, myspace, facebook, twitter in sight... fools

What happens when u change relationship status - how do u rub it in the face of ur single friends or break up it so everyone knows - and can say 'plenty more fish in the sea' crap - Where is this sea?? Can I have map??

You go out for nights out without being named and shamed in photos of u looking like a ugly minger

How do share random thoughts or moments of genius??

How do you basically stalk people without being arrested ??

social madness

Stress?

Couldnt contain my exictment at first post thought I'd get straight on with the next one...
It's too late i'm way tired but insomina and stress is a bitch taking over my love, uni exams - pressure cooker much
Next time someone asks for a significant other I'll say stress - it's always there for me when I dont ask, it drives me crazy, it makes me do silly things but not once has it taken me out for dinner!

Lost my Blog Virginity !

How exicting ! Blog virgin - no more...
Watching a crazy film with crazy eyed people ---- swapped to love actually.
Now I can be depressed at my love life -- got 6 years till i have a kid apparently did a quiz today on facebook-- I'd like to know the guy for like 2 years and maybe plan the children - that makes it 3 years to find a good guy who fits the description I have....Shouldnt be too difficult - oh wait yes it bloody is!!!
I'll take impression from books and films -- Dont wear big pants or at least remove them in the toilet, avoid how to lose a guy 10 days type behaviour to freak him out, only fall for the bad boy if I can change him, sing from the roof tops/school hall/kitchen and hope his not a 100 year old vampire
if love like a book or a film we'd have met already and have a potential break bout a friend/car/dog/accident/job and ready to fall back in love for the airport scene or at least the second from last chapter
