LIFE'S A BEACH

I watched the film Beaches tonight. Such a lovely film, so moving - cried loads. It got me thinking about friendships really. I don't seem to be able to hold onto friendships for very long. I don't really know why? I could hazzard a guess but I guess I'll never know for sure why things don't work out for the best. Circumstances change, People move on I suppose. I am such a miserable bitch to be around sometimes, I know this without having to be told - although on occasion it still has come as a shock when some people have felt the need to say it. I don't have a childhood friend I've grown up with. I didn't keep in touch with any of my school friends, a few of them have found me on Facebook from time to time, we added each other, caught up on the last ten years or so and realised we still had nothing in common so went our seperate ways again. (Total waste of time.) The friends I've made in the past and got close to, in the end I've either pissed them off, slept with them, or moaned too much, eitherway the end result is the same - they've gone out of my life. Don't get me wrong though, I do have friends, some I hold really close, I have the two most bestest friends in the world and if it wasn't for their support I probably wouldn't be here now writing this shit, but I can't help thinking when that day will come when they'll go too. I'm not gonna have Bette Midler drop everything and come running to me when I'm dying. I'm gonna die alone and I'll only have myself to blame.



Life's a beach.

RED FOR DANGER

Curse my big fat sunburnt face. I've been out and about more than usual lately and obviously making the most of the hot weather sunning myself in the pool and today I am suffering for it. SUNBURN = BAD TIMES! I'm used to seeing a big fat red face in the mirror from time to time so I didn't think much of it until this morning when I woke up BEETROOT RED. Ouch but YAY for aftersun cream.

I spent the morning with my Mum. It's been ages since we've done stuff just the two of us and not had to fit it all in quick coz one or both of us had to rush off somewhere else. We went for a walk around Brocks Hill Park with the dog at the crack of 'Martin' - had a good gossip and catch up, did some shopping in Wigston on the way back and had lunch together at home. Perfect. We don't get many days like this - usually one or both of us is in a mood and the time we spend together isn't always that good, but today really was. I love my Mum.

I've been watching a new BBC3 comedy called 'Mongrels'. If you haven't seen it yet - you MUST watch it. It's a puppet show for adults and it's so funny. One of the puppets is voiced by Lucy Montgomery (the maid from Tittybangbang) who I simply ADORE on every level. I didn't know she'd voice the puppet until it spoke so it was a pleasant surprise. Episode Three was on last night and all three are currently available on BBC iPlayer if you're in the UK so do check them out.

WONDERFUL ELECTRIC

First of all, apologies for yesterday to anyone I spoke to - I was in a foul mood all day and it wasn't helped by some fucking NUTTER online constantly sending add requests. There's no point going on about it, coz I'm you all heard enough about it yesterday on Marvin's page, we'll just leave it at the "Sorry I'm a grumpy bastard" note and move on.



So the TV in the bedroom has finally gone tits up. *sobs* / *dries eyes* Thankfully though my Mum has stepped up to help, she's gonna buy me a new one as an early birthday present and we're picking it up tomorrow. GOOD TIMES! It's only 19inches - but that's more than enough for me to handle in the bedroom. I can't wait.

I never seem to have much luck with electrical stuff. My DVD player went tits up too recently and my DVD burner on the PC has had its day. Makes ya wonder what electrical item is gonna go wrong next? Thankfully my vibrator takes batteries.

PROUD PARENT MOMENT

I can't belieeeeve it's the first of July already. WHERE has this year gone? I know at times it's felt like every single minute of every single day has been one long drag but at the blink of an eye we're half way through 2010 already. *SQUEEP* Got some fun things planned for the coming months so hopefully the nice weather we've been having will be on my side. A couple of people have asked what my plans for my birthday are - not sure yet. I know I'm going to Skegness at some point in September with friends but ideally I'd like to organise a gathering for that weekend at mine also. Although as past parties have prooved, getting everyone together in the same place on the same night seems impossible. I guess nothing will top last year's birthday when I finally got to attend my first Tori Amos concert with Kate and Joe. We'll see. Maybe we'll skip the party this year and have one massive blow-out for Halloween? (My favourite time of year.)

Lucy is making full use of her cat bed now. (It's only taken her two months!) She never took to it at first and instead chose to sleep in the pet carrier she arrived in, which was fine but when you've spent £16.99 on a cat bed you kinda feel cheated. Anywhoo, the other day I'd hoovered so I moved it and put it on the desk. I left it there without thinking and later that night who should I find curled up in it but Little Miss Lucy herself. Proud parent moment - Horrah!



Better late than never, hey Lucy?
