and other strange things!!

Alrighty folks, I've been thinking, to much maybe, but thinking about stuff. I have weird dreams, really weird dreams, and I think that's even stranger, because of the serious lack of sleep I get. I'm just in some zombiefied state as usual. I achieved three hours sleep the other night, impressive huh? I guess it could be worse, it could of been two. It still doesn't feel good though and my dreams are becoming weirder and weirder. There seems to be a pattern to them, If I'm not dreaming about werid religious men chasing me, I'm dreaming about Neighbours (Aussie soap). The most freaky of dreams was that I was the child of Madge and Harold Bishop, I'm not to sure where this came from, though I think it had something to do with a book my sister bought me when I was a kid. This book stars you in it, it's really weird. You send off giving some details about the person, like their name, how old they are, friends names etc etc and then they right an adventure including you and your friends in it, and of course the neighbours regulars. This was back in the day of Scott and Charlene, I must of being about ten, and I treasured this book ( I still do, hehe!). Anyway, yes that's where that came from I think, because in that book I stayed with the Bishops! Then the other night I dreamt about Joe Mangle and Bouncer the dog, he was like a really good friend and liveed next door to my Nan, and then he changed into Alfie Moon (Eastenders), oooh the strangeness of my mind. Maybe it's a sign I watch to many soaps, who knows!

This weekend was good and bad, but I'm just going to concentrate on the good bits, as the bad suckass!!! Sunday was a lovely sunny day, and me and the usual crowd went to Lyme park, ahhhhhhh how gorgeous it was. There's a big lake in the middle, and everyone just chills out around it, and there's a castle, and all these long trail walks you can do, and a little ice-cream hut that rips folks off. There's a long road that leads to the park, that's about 2miles long, and you drive down it, to get to the carpark, but there was so many people ther on Sunday that they'd actually started parking on that road, so we was ages away from the rip off ice-cream hut, noooooooooo! Maddy Mae hates the sun big time. She had a cute ickle dress on, and a floppy hat, she looked adorable! She had a little sun umbrella protecting her and she hid her face with her blankie and fell asleep, no sun for ickle Mads! Jacks is like 8 months pregnant now, so walking to long kind of tires her out, it's strange, because me and my sister went to Lyme park when she was about 8 months preggers with Maddy Mae, seems so long ago, awww. We took a few kids there, and they get bored so easy, so while the oldies chilled out, I took them on an adventure trail! Hmm...I've come to the conclusion I am far to competitive, and need to mature a little. Me and dom were one team, and grets and callum were another! You go on this walk, and collect clues on the way, and find stuff, was right good fun!! My need to win kind of took over though, and I started changing clues and stuff, hmm, hehe, I wouldn't call it cheating, stretching the rules maybe?? I don't know! It was a lovely day though, and we went for a pub lunch after, all nice and chilled out!

So that was my weekend, Kermit's not to happy at the moment, I wish I could make him feel better, I guess all I can do is listen to him and try and offer support where it's needed. I kind of understand his problems, I feel the same way sometimes, that things are going to slowly and that nothings changing, and day in day out things are the same, everyone thinks like that sometimes, it's just natural. I'm sure I'll be able to make him smile again, like he has for me so many times. I miss the gayness,alot. I think he knows it all though. Just nice to hear it sometimes I guess!

I'm done now, hope you all had a lovely weekend, and take care folks xxx!

Lyme park sounds lovely, but there should be some kind of law in parks that the icecream must be dirtcheap in summer. You can't have summer without icecream!!

I wish relationships were simple too. why are they so damn confusing?! I thought friendships would be easier but apparently not..You're so right about Jack being a "safety date". That sounds so mean! He really is a wonderful guy..very rare in New York believe me, but I can't see this going anywhere to be honest. Am quite headmessy about Holden.

Hehe, I'm sleep deprived too so i can relate to ur weird dreams. Why do u get bizarre and quite disturbing dreams when u havent slept properly? I dreamt I was on the tonight show with jay leno and Drew barrymore was giving me a pedicure. Then Polly turned up dressed as a princess and we moved to vegas...

Hope you get some sleep soon!! And sweet dreams if you do. Keep me posted on Kermit too!!

Could you fed-ex your Sunday. The address is.....

Not really joking, but anyway, it sounded Idyllic.

Gothic is right. Dreaming about Neighbours could be indicitive of something really serious. You should check that out with a physician

Hehe, thanks for the comment Marco!!! I like to share my good weekends with folks, and as we don't get much sun here in England, I have to enjoy it while I can!

About the neighbours thing, sort of regreting sharing it now hehe! As if I wasn't worried enough about my mental health!

You're not crazy - I regularly dream about Neighbours and Home&Away - and I didn't have one of those books - it's something to do with what you were thinking about before you went to sleep combined with subconscious fears - at least thats what mine are

BTW - when was Maddy Mae born (in an earlier blog you said she was 4 months) my daughter is almost 6 months (6th December)
on May 20, 2004
Oooooh Maddy Mae was born on 8th December, she is lovely! What's your daughter called? I must have a fear of living with Madge and Harold again, hehe!! Thanks for the comment x

Hey Sal what's up? Hope ur good. Thanks for ur comment. Good to hear u and Kermit are doing good, for now at least! Maddy Mae sounds soo sweet!! It's always cool to have a kid in ur life, they're always fun, good excuse to act like an idiot, I like hanging out with Polly's family, she has about 3million (well, 5) younger siblings, the youngest being 3. They're so cool, good excuse to go do kiddie stuff like themeparks and the zoo hehe.

Anyway, the whole Jack thing is even more messed up now (see blog) so I'm am well and truly "in the shit" as Jamie Oliver might say (see, I've been doing my research!! ). Didn't sort anything out with Holden because he's coy (for coy, read pain in the ass) and didn't tell me how he felt about the whole thing at all. We're just back to where we were before (ie buddies) and that's cool..but his pretending like nothing has happened is an annoying and v. typical male response to such things if you ask me. All kinds of madness going on in everyone's love life including Dave's, who has apparently gone completely crazy in the past 24 hours.

I'd have mentioned my mom if she actually called me, but she doesn't and I'm not calling her 'cuz that'd be giving in. She's probably mad at me for blowing her off about moving home before or something. I didn't mention my dad much, i know, but he lives in Lille which is a zillion miles away in France and I don't see him ever. Which is why I'm gonna go this summer. (plus French guys are so hot!)

Write another article soon k? I always look forward to reading them!

lots of love Dyl xxx
