Wow. here I am again, it would appear my word of the week is wow, don't ask me why, I have no idea, bet every situation I'm in, my response to it is, wow, it's started to get slightly irritating. Even more irritating than my hmm's, which it would seem I do every other sentence. I also answer questions with both, yes and no, used at the same time, so if someone is brave enough to ask me if I've had a good day for example, a typical sally response goes along the lines of, Yes, no, yeh it was good thanks, hmmm...very strange! I also say ok alot, I think I'm the person that keeps it as one of the most said words. My okays have hidden meanings, it's all about the way you say them I think...or maybe I'm just weird. I don't really have a set subject for todays blog, as you may have guessed, I'm just going with the flow, and seeing what happens, I'm guessing it will be some kind of confused mess, but you never know I may surprise myself!

My sleeping hasn't improved, far from it. I've tried to miss out naps again, I hope it will make me feel like a less lazy person. Yesterday I spent the majority of the day doing nothing, which is good because I have a fun filled week ahead (well kinda), but even though I'd spent the day doing very little, it reached about 4pm, and I wasn't even that tired, but I still thought to myself, Mmm, I could just have a nap right now, I didn't though I fought the urges, but I still didn't go to bed till gone 2am and I was up again at 5.30am, grrrr....I think I'm just going to have to start going to bed at a reasonable time and just lie there, however long it takes, I'm sure I'll eventually train my mind to the proper times of sleep. It's either that or sleep with kermit, and when I say sleep, I mean SLEEP . It would probably help if I get rid of my cauliflowers, but where to start with them, I think I'm only going to lose them over time, time's the best healer i guess, until then I'm going to have to continue walking about like a zombie.

I have quite a few different quirks, as I'm sure everyone does, one of them is I struggle to watch full films. My attention span won't allow it. I just can't sit for two hours with my mind concentrated on the one thing, going to the cinema is a nightmare for me, and the people around me. I get really fidgety, my mind starts to wander, and when it returns to the matter in hand, I've missed half the film and feel the need to ask questions. Also the seating arrangements make me nervous in cinemas, don't think I'm a freak, I'm really not, but it can get really closed in. I like to seat myself on the end of a row, prefrebly the row closest to the exit, so I feel the need to escape, it can be quick and easy with out disturbing the people around me to much. The last time i graced the cinema with my presence was when the first Kill Bill came out. i went with my sister, who was heavily pregnant at the time with Maddy Mae and my friend Melanie. We went mid week, at about 2pm, my favourite time to go. It's relatively quiet, no school kids to annoy you and the exit just seems so much easier to get to. However it would appear that I think the same as alot of social misfits, the cinema wasn't full, but the odd person (alone) were scattered around the cinema. I couldn't go to the cinema on my own,i don't know why, it just doesn't feel right. I was at pizza hut once (grr I hate pizza). I was with a few friends and this young boy came in, he must have been about 18 or something and he sat alone on the table next to us, and ordered his food. The place was full of families and friends all having a good time, and he was alone. Now I understand it may have been through choice, I enjoy my own company, alot more than I enjoy most other peoples company, but I just couldn't have him sat there on his own. He looked really lonely. So I started to make conversation with him, them restaurants aren't really that spaced out, I was practically sat on the poor boys knee as it was, and I started talking to him, and he seemed like a nice guy, so I invited him to join us. I suppose looking back it was a safer option for him to stay alone than join a table of loud females, but after a little persuation he joined us. He really hit it off with one of my friends, and the eventually got together, and are still together till this day, and that was about two years ago, awww! Anyway back to social misfit afternoon at the cinema. We started watching Kill Bill, don't worry I'll refrain from giving you a film review, though it did make my sister puke (due to morning sickness more than anything else!) and I watched the majority of it from behind my hands, ahhh....I am brave (don't get me started on ET). If you've seen the film you will know that it is made up of mostly fight scenes and near to the end there's this huge scene that goes on forever it would seem. Anyway, half way through, this bloke in the cinema started talking to himself. Now at first it was just like little comments to himself, I didn't have a problem with that, I do that myself in fact, and would probably have been doing so, but I was to busy hiding and eyeing up the exit. This guy just got louder though, until he was literally shouting at the screen, about how unrealistic the fighting was. By this point my sister had got the giggles, and I was wishing I'd taken my usual position by the door, since it was relatively empty, I had become brave and sat mid row. Then this other guy started shouting at him to shutup. I think personally they had both been inspired by the fighting on the screen. The guy that had started shouting at the screen, responded with, but I've seen this film before. Great! That's ok then, shout away, the rest of us don't mind aslong as you've seen it. These two blokes got quite aggressive with each other. With one threatening to chase the other out of the cinema, which the thought of it just made me chuckle, but he actually did! The strange guy had got my usual seat, end of row, near the door, and the other guy made for him and he just legged it out of the cinema, hehe, at least he knows how the film ended .

Wow, I've just managed to talk about nothing, I'm so taleneted. I haven't spoke to my kermit properly for a few days, and If I'm honest I don't like it at all. I miss him. I miss just laughing with him, just feeling close to him . I make that sound like I haven't spoke to him at all. I have, everyday, but I don't feel like it was quality time. I can't explain what I mean. I'm sure he knows . When I feel like this, I get insecure about things, and he knows I do. I did have a conversation with him about it, and I explained how I felt, and as usual he made me feel loads better, he's so lovely. So hopefully I won't be missing him for to much longer, though he goes away soon , ahhh going to miss him so much .

Anyways, I've got the bug for writing today, don't know why, for someone that had no idea what they was going to write about I don't think I did to badly, and to those of you who managed to read to the end of this, well done! Hehe! Bye bye xxx
