"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

There is a really annoying advert doing the rounds here in sunny 'ol England at the moment.  It's for Kellogs Frosties.  It has a jingle that is so annoying that you can't help but sing it.  It only takes seeing the advert once, and you are hooked trust me.  They are going to taste greeeeeeeeeeat!  Here's the link for you brave souls that are into self abuse Link .  I have to say I find this kid, and the advert extremely annoying.  I was at my sisters the othe...

My next door neighbour is a strange little man. He has never actually done anything to me, he is just strange. Sometimes he acknowledges my excistence and then other days he looks right through me. It just really depends on which way the wind is blowing. Sometimes he talks, sometimes he doesn't, sometimes he stares, sometimes he doesn't. He is just strange. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. There are people who I see everyday, and I don't have a clue about any part of their life. I don'...

This just really amused me, and I had to share. I'll just give you the short version of this story, and then you can look at the link. A guy sold a broken laptop on ebay. The person who bought the laptop managed to fix it, and in the process managed to get hold of alot of personal pictures and information that this guy had on it. He then set up a webpage all about it..... Link

I'm talentless. This isn't me looking for a pity vote, or feeling sorry for myself. This my friends is a harsh reality. There is nothing I shine at. There is nothing I have a natural ability in. That I can see myself doing, and I know that I'm good at it. I'm decidedly average at most things, and really bad at a few. You would think that there was at least one thing I was good at, or one thing that I showed natural ability in, but there really isn't. I do consider myself to be average...

I'm not a girly girl. I'm not to fussed if more than one hair is out of place. I don't burst into flames if someone sees me without make-up on. My world doesn' come crumbling to a horrible end if my outfit doesn't exactly match. All these things just don't bother me. I like to look nice, and I like to feel good, I just don't put a great importance on these things. I have friends who spend hours in the mirror making themselves look good by caking make-up on, and doing their hair. To be ...

I sometimes wonder how my sisters and I turned out so well adjusted (well two out of three isn't bad). My Dad is a lovely man. I completely adore him. However, some of his views leave me wanting to bang my head against a brickwall, and any attempt made on my part to discuss these views with him, usually leave me feeling like I have banged my head against a brickwall. Since I was at school, I have read books, and learned alot of things. This means I have really strong and opinions on th...

When I was eighteen I worked in a shop whilst I was at college. I worked there for about two years, and quite enjoyed it. I'm the kind of person that lacks motivation, I need a good kick up the backside to get started on something, but once I do, I like to do well at it. I don't like to fail, and I try my very best not to. Now this was a reasonably small shop, and I was given more responsibilty than I probably should of being given at eighteen. One day the Manager organised job intervie...

I am a typical Brit. My heart is always with the underdog. I can't even really explain why. I like it that you can expect the unexpected from people. That someone works so hard for something, they pour their heart and soul into it, and they get there in the end. I have so much respect for that. I believe that have people put their mind to something, no matter how far out of their reach it is they can achieve it. Hard work and dedication can get you a long way. I am only young, and I h...

I don't like Barbie dolls. Mainly due to a rather traumatic experience as a child. My sister is what's known as "sadistic". I admit that as a child I was quite annoying. I was a bit moany (not alot changes). I had alot of Barbie dolls. I didn't have a Ken. I really wanted a Ken. So badly. I wanted to make him and Barbie smooch, and make them hold hands, and dance around the room together. It was rather magical in my mind. So I asked my Mum for a Ken. I asked my Dad for a Ken. I ...

I shouldn't be writing this blog. I'm in a horrible mood. Due to many things. Which I will share here, I suppose. It might make me feel less grumpy though I doubt it. I decided I would throw myself into the xmas festivities. With Christmas there is two paths you can go down, you can either be like the grinch, moan at everything and whinge and moan some more, or you can embrace it, and enjoy the plus points it has to offer. I decided a little embracing. Last night I had a xmas party to...

I am slightly obsessed with theme tunes. I think music can draw such emotion, or when you think back to something and you hear the music it just brings it home. So if we were looking back at a compilation of highlights from this election, what music would it be too? I heard this song, and I thought it was perfect, from Bush's perspective at least. I'm a secret Queen fan btw . I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made...

I am a magnet for the strange folks of the world. I don't know what it is about me, but they are all just drawn to me. I think I must look friendly or something. I did a very brave thing today, and went on public transport. Silly, silly me. I had two encounters, and I just didn't know how to respond to either. The first one was erm...odd. I was drinking a bottle of water and this guy was sat in front of me. He glanced behind him a few times and I didn't think anything of it. He was ...

The internet is a wonderful place it opens up all kind of doors for us. We have google at our fingertips which just about has information on everything. We can organize our lives online. That's why it's so wonderful. We can shop, listen to music, find latest reviews, see what's on at the cinema. Some people use it to download music and games. Now many artists had a problem with this, that it was taking away from music sales and so on. Though the majority of their money isn't made throu...

First impressions are very important. We put alot on first impressions, and theyy are often difficult to change. They can work in a positive and negative way. If we meet someone and we don't like how they look, they are in a bad mood, or they are rude. Even if this is a one off, we will remember this behaviour. That will be what we remember when we think of that person. These things are difficult to change. Even if we after that they give us a good impression, it will be difficult to f...

I don't think I take life very seriously. I have a friend that worries about every element of their life. Worries about the future, the past. I'm not completely heartless. I just tend not to worry about the important things. Recently I found a lump on my breast. At first I wasn't worried. Maybe I wanted to bury my head in the sand, maybe I thought it would go away. I checked it regularly and realised I had to do something about it. I went to the doctors, and it turned out to be nothi...
