If I could escape the crowd somehow ....

It's been a while since I've updated my blog ..... I guess that's just how it is when you live life in the fast lane!

Quite a lot has changed!

First off, in the space of about 3 weeks I met a guy who I decided I quite like, he liked me back, I enter into a so-called 'relationship' with him but only to later find out he is a full blown raving mad lunatic!! Excellent, brilliant - just what I needed! So, I very quickly binned him off and all I will say is that I feel lucky enough to have escaped with my life!

I bought a new car ........ not what I wanted at all but it will do for now. I am looking forward to that first weekend where the sun eventually decides to come out of hiding and I can take it for a spin with the roof down!

I have a holiday booked with a couple of my besties for June 2011 which I am looking forward to immensely! Sun, sea, sand and, of course, booze ..... couldn't come quick enough really!

There are some other changes too but at this moment in time I want to keep these close to my chest and not divulge until a later date!

All this change has got me thinking about me, my life - i.e. what do I want and what do I want to achieve? I used to think I knew but, honestly, the last 6 months of my life have been a complete whirlwind and now, as a result, I have absolutely no idea! This scares me a lot!

I think it hit me when I was chatting on the phone to my friend the other day .... in a humourus way, she summarised the last 6 months of my life ....... mental!! is honestly the only way to describe it! I could honestly make a film or at least write a book about it - I reckon I would do quite well off it too!

It did, however, make me realise that that I am playing with fire ...... only problem with that is sooner or later I will get burnt! It also made me realise that whilst this new random, risk taking and carefree girl is all well and good ..... I must not lose sight of the direction I want my life to go in.

I have come to the conclusion that over the next few weeks I need to make some serious decisions and then make these things happen! I am fed up of identifying aspects of my life that I feel need changing and then for one reason or another not following these through. I always have been a 'down-to-earth' sort of person and I know what I can achieve. I do feel, though, like I have lost touch with this side of me for while and have instead been living out this crazy life full of randomness!

I am not saying that these changes will be dramatic ones .... but I do feel they are necessary and I , not anyone else, need to make them happen. Watch this space ......

Thank you ....

They say that friends are the family that you choose ..... if that's the case then I have to say , in my opinion, I have done a pretty amazing job!

At the risk of sounding all emotional, I feel so lucky to have been blessed with a great network of close friends who I know are there for me through the good times and also through the absolute shite times! These last few months have been tough for me and I have really relied on the support that my friends have given me ..... for that, I just want to say Thank You. 

Whether it be pissed as farts in the middle of a club, out in a country pub, listening to and appreciating the beauty of classical music or just spending an evening in - when I'm with my friends its guaranteed to be an absolute hoot! :)

Goodnight.

Chavs ....

Good Morning!


How are you? I'll apologise now as this post is going to be a bit of a rant!


So, last night I went to visit a friend but was so tired I ended falling asleep on their sofa! I awoke this morning in a bit of a daze and wrapped in a duvet. Yes, I know what you are thinking .... what a "Rock and Roll' lifestyle I lead eh?


Anyway, so I said ta' very much to my friend for letting me kip over, jumped in the car, came home, walking up the stairs to my flat and guess what I am greeted with?! (At 9am in the morning I might add).


 "boom, booooom, boooooooooooom ....... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!"


Well, it appears that my chav, cretin of society (Thanks Fifi) scumbag of a neighbour believes that it is perfectly acceptable to play hard core garage on his sound system (sub woofer and everything ) with the volume cranked up so high that I am pretty much certain it has made my ears bleed!


I let out a loud sigh, opened my front door and duly locked it behind me. I thought that turning the volume up on my TV would drown out the noise of these 'delighful' tunes; how mistaken could one girl be? I am now sat here writing this post and I am apoplectic with rage at the sounds and vibrations traveling through the walls and gracing my earbuds!! Great stuff!!


Now don't get me wrong, in a middle of club (and those who know me well know that I am a party animal) , or even driving flat out down a motor way at 100mph this genre of music would be appreciated by me! I listen to many genres and have a wide taste in music! However, even I know that at 9am in the morning playing hard core garage at full pelt is just not the thing you do! Right now, I just want a nice cuppa and would be very content with listening to one of my Chillout albums to prepare me for my day!


As I see it, I currently have 2 options:


Option 1 - I do nothing - i.e 'Keep Calm and Carry on' (Love that motto). However, I  fear if I do that my head may implode and I will cease to exist.


Option 2 - I go round and attempt to reason with this little scroat and inform him that his 'music' is way way waaayyy too loud for this time in the morning and to have some consideration for his neighbours who live within this block. Yes, I am well aware that this may make me sound like a nagging 80 year old woman .... but am I bothered? Nope! Not one bit - I would just like some peace and quiet thanks! I hope that is not too much to ask for!


So, option 2 is looking more and more appealing right now ..... sod it! Here goes ........
