Ranting again? Must be a pointless holiday.

New Years Celebrations are a load of nonsense.

Nobody actually cares what the date is - it will only matter in fifty years or so when I'm old and will be telling children about how it was all wonderful in the old days. I can hear myself already..

"In those golden summers of '09 we all used to go to the Ikea restaurant and get cheap food together while looking out over the dismal grey city.. Oh you could never imagine the simple pleasures of those days, little Jim."

Then again, it wouldn't matter what year I said because they probably won't be listening anyway.

The number of years since we switched to A.D. rarely has an effect on our daily lives, and we all know it. Reaching the year 2000 was a bit of a novelty perhaps, but 2010 is surely nothing special.

Anyway I hope that the next 10 years are roughly as good as the last 10 were.

Business as usual.

Haha look - a really offensive weather website.

Here's what they're saying about the weather where I am lol.

Facebook.

Today I'd like to talk about something serious and important. It is a crime that many, many commit every day without even thinking about it. I personally feel like a victim of this crime and I truly believe that if shown the error of their ways, most of these criminals would realise what they are doing and stop without a moments hesitation.

The joining of groups and fan pages is slowly turning Facebook into world of monotony and drudge. Every time I go on, it looks a lot like THIS.

It's driving me mental. I miss terribly being able to go on and find out how my actual friends are doing. I don't go on because I want to know which of the randoms that I'm friends with are fans of Texting or even worse, something like this:

Saying " It's ok " but secretly knowing it's killing you inside

How can you even be a fan of that?! (at least 5 of my friends are, and ONE MILLION OTHER ACTUAL PEOPLE OH MY FACE)

Each dreary page is as dull as the last, with a profile picture pulled straight from Google images in the hopes of drawing out a flat smile from the blank faces of the plebs who join.

But I really want to know is, why do people join? Surely the idea is that you join the pages of a few musicians and TV shows, so that if your newer acquaintances want to know a bit more about you, they can have a quick look at the list on your profile and learn a bit about your tastes in entertainment. Instead they are now just met with a lengthy characterless list of groups and pages which are notable only in that 60,000 other people have also joined. Why would anyone want to be defined by something that so many other people are thoughtlessly claiming at the same time?

I do still like Facebook, but it's just like nobody else is at all frustrated by it. Readers, I know that you're doing it and I will get you. Some day, somewhere. Maybe even while you're sleeping.


...Hope you had a good Christmas lol.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DARLINGS.

Eee! Such a good day! :D

Just watched Doctor Who - I won't spoil it, but I was basically on the edge of my seat the whole time.

My mum fell asleep, and my dad walked out after about ten minutes. Brother and sister didn't even bother trying.

I don't really want to be using my internettish language on Christmas day but - THEY ARE ALL FAIL.

Okay, okay, I'll stop. But seriously, they're all rubbish.

Also, I do love David Tennant but I think the bit I'm most excited about for the next part is actually seeing MATT SMITH. I know we'll most likely only get like a few seconds right at the end, but I so can't wait for him to take over.

Knowing my luck, Doctor Who will probably start again just as I leave for Moldova and I'll miss the whole series lol.

END OF DOCTOR WHO DISCUSSION
(I do realise that not everyone is a fan *cough*Lindleys*cough*)

Got lots of nice things for Christmas - including the loveliest cardigan in the world. It's long and woolly thick and warm enough for the Arctic. It's brown with cream stitches and I'll wear it for the rest of my life, I think.

My brother has updated my Harry Potter DVD collection - I now have them all! Very pleased to have the latest one, as I haven't been watching the special features online in case I should pull the money together to get it for myself.

My sister bought me a digital picture frame which caused rather a lot of concentration and brainpower on my part until I finally realised that what it needed was a card that I don't have. So it may be a short while before I get to use it hehe.

I've spent most of today eating food and watching the telly, which has been a lot of fun actually! Watched Happy Feet, which I've been meaning to see for ages, and The Gruffulo which was fantastic, even by the opinion of the two in my family who have memorised the book from reading it to children so much.

Grandma arrives tomorrow, so I'd better wrap her present really. Hope you're all having a wonderful day, Merry Christmas!

(This is possibly the longest thing I have put on here for the whole of 2009, so I hope you enjoyed it haha.)

Where's MY flipping snow???!

I keep marching up to my window, messily swiping away the curtain and scowling out at the clear night sky.

WHERE THE FLIP IS MY SNOW??

I think I'm turning into Bernard Black.

I just need to work on my Irish accent.

tap dancing + rollerskating = win.

I can't tap dance, and I'm not particularly amazing in rollerskates either.

So Gene Kelly gets the award for 'most awesome' right here:



(skip to about 2:16)

Too tired to be thinking of titles.

The thing with wearing two pairs of socks is that when you get to taking them off at night you end up being like "WILL THE SOCKS NEVER END???"

Undressing is always a rather dramatic affair for me. I always lose my balance when I'm taking my trousers off, and I often end up thinking things like "Oh no! I'm going to be stuck in this jumper FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE."

I must point out to you though that this is usually when it's getting towards 2am & I'm generally not quite with it.

That's just a little snapshot for you into the part of my life that you're less likely to be a part of lol.

Nothing like a good Christmas song.

I laughed. Rather a lot.

Sooo productive.

My days off from work are always very productive.

For example, today I made an angel :D



Two mince pie cases and some scrunched up tissue.

Yesss.

Oh wow.

Soo.. I'm going to Moldova.

If the people are anything like this, I'm probably going to have a pretty good time.

PostSecret.

Watching this reminded me of why I secretly love people so much.

"Fuckin in here all the time! All the time with the fuckin matches!"

Watch this. (mostly for 1:24 - 1:48)

Okay so recently, every time I've been even mildly frustrated, a little imitation of 'American' Eddie Izzard from this clip bursts into my head.

This then cheers me up immensely.

Mustn't do it out loud though haha, especially when the old folk are about.

Finally Friday night, feeling kinda good, looking alright

Sclub7 & Maltesers.

It doesn't get much better than this, dollface.




(yeah man, I used to watch that show. ALL THE FLIPPING TIME.)

tralalalala lalalala

Today is my day off. My one day off. I've worked seven days in a row, and I've got two more waiting for me. Then I'll probably put my name down for even more days, because I haven't quite worked out what I think my limit is. On one hand I should be getting loads of money, on the other I might fall flat on the floor and never get up again.. haha.

Anyway my only intention for today is to pick up the book that I've been ignoring for so long. Determined to finish that thing. My attempt to get good at reading boring books is not going well.

I've a feeling that I'm going to need more drastic measures to get me to read to the end.



Okay, I'm ready.
