and also My Space which is an MSN thingiemuhbob which is pretty funky and the next big craze (in our little web community).


In other news….

Back is feeling a lot better , although Im still getting the odd twinge.
My digi box has gone- after much faffing about and asking nice net type people and phoning the nice manufacturers the conclusion is that it’s buggered and I should get it replaced. Thankfully my mum managed to locate the receipt
I’ve comitted myself to going to the gym tomorrow night for an “induction”

Just a lil update in the world of Kathryn….
As I complained about in a previous message, Ive hurt me back. All I did was bend over slightly to pick up my hairbrush which was on the sofa on Friday morning and suddenly a twinge. Which was okay, it was uncomfortable more than anything although some things would make me wince. Then on Monday morning I was putting on my shoe, which I normally do by standing on one foot, and lifting the other up …when OH MY FUCKING GOD! I was in agony the whole day at work. Every time I stood up I had to make sure my legs weren’t going to give way. I could hardly walk! Went and got some Nurofen plus (ibuprofen & codeine) which helped a lot more than the paracetmol & codeine did – which isn’t say much. To make it worse there wasn’t any sleeping position that didn’t ache – sleeping on my stomach was the worst which is my normal sleeping position. Thankfully I seem to be getting a bit better now – although if I move in certain ways I get twinges (on top of the dull ache) and standing up is still the most painful. I don’t suffer well I’m afraid!


In happier news! I’m getting a £100 bonus at work! (just for being wonderful – I’ve mentioned before that I work my arse off!). There were actually 3 amounts of bonus with £100 being the top. However I don’t plan to be bragging about it, I’m just pleased. They’ll probably tax it though .


I’ve now sold oooh….25 DVDs on ebay got all good reviews too . I’ve wasted my winnings on an MP3 player and I’m trying to win a digital camera for a knock down price but I keep getting outbid . Some one is currently upping on the price on the one I’m winning at the moment. STOP IT!


I had the misfortune to note the existance of a tv show called Man vs Beast USA on ITV2….WHo can eat more hot dogs, a bear or a small asian guy….fucking stupid. The people who thought of it should be shot!

OOh I finally got my Rob Thomas CD…wasn’t in love at first (Id um got it from other sources as I’m really not that patience), but totally growing on me. I especially like All that I am and Here comes the night. If you’re an MB20 fan you should check it out.

Right I think I shall go back to farting about with my hotmail myspace thingie . I do like customising!

Go visit this web site. Which is of Eddie Izzard Quotes. It’s funny! You’ll like it!
You will!

My back hurts and the pain killers don’t help.

Which considering the pain is more uncomfortable than super painful is irritating

Why on earth would you spam a blog? I get plagued by online p*ker spammers. One post in particular was particularily afflicted. It was called never lend m-o-n-e-y (minus the -’s) to family and friends. Ive edited the m word now and I hope that will kill them. Fuckers

Just to expand a little a bit if you look at this picture here

You can see our terraced houses on the left and to the right it’s a garage but what theyve actually done is knock through the downstairs of some similar terrace houses and left the upstairs as like a work room. On sunday night someone thought it would be a really good idea to torch it. Lotta smoke and quite a bit of damage to the garage but not to our houses thankfully and no one was hurt . We also made the bbc.co.uk website. Unfortunately I don’t have the link.

Not a bad day today – firstly the Amazon.com saga… I ordered Rob Thomas’ Something to be Be from Amazon.com instead of Amazon.co.uk cause it had actually had the damn album. Finally got shipped sometime last week and arrived yesterday. Except it didn’t. They’d sent me Guera by Beck. Cue major disappointment. Figured out where to go for returns. Login, you’ve bought blah blah what do you want to return, whats wrong – they don’t actually have an option for “oopsie we fucked up” so I went for “defective” thankfully you then get to explain what the “defect” is. The defect being it’s the wrong bloody album. Anyhow it goes on to tell you to print out this mailing label, return it and they’ll pay for the shipping. Fine and good. Had it all re wrapped and ready to go. Happened to check my mail this morning (I feel obliged to since my work has now banned webmail – wankers!) and I have a nice little email from Amazon.com saying don’t return it, it’s too expensive we’ll send you out a replacement. You can bid on the Beck album here . Unfortunately I now have to wait patiently for the right album .


My no longer jobless git of brother FINALLY gave me my money back – well £200 since I can’t actually remember how much he owes. So I guess I should stop call him my no longer jobless git of brother eh? But yay! I have 200 beautiful beautiful smackeroos

In less happy news…the fuckwits who live in this constituency voted the DUP into Westminister…HELLO! Religious Right you idiots! and it’s not like I live in the friggin bible belt! Well N I is bible beltish, since people just tend to assume there is a god rather than actually think about it, but not so much that they think that drink is “the devils buttermilk” which is what their great leader Big Ian beliefs, that’d be Big Ian, the right reverand, spreader of hate and leader of the Free Presbyterians – the hard core branch of the Presbyterian church. Unfortunately a number of people in this area happened to be the knuckle dragging “we hate catholics because” type people who couldn’t think for themselves if you doubled their IQ “Ugh, fire good!”. You know the DUP actually had the sheer affront to say that one candidate shouldn’t stand because he was homosexual….WTF!? They make me want to poke their eyes out with dirty sticks. Fortunately here the Westminister elections have diddly squat meaning for us, since only the main parties (ie labour, cons and lib dems) really get a look in, everyone else may as well be standing as an independant for all the good they can do.

Also – I still haven’t got to see Hitchhikers which I’m really disappointed by. I really don’t care how many people think it’s a pile of pants. Im not an overly critical movie goer and I know I’m going to enjoy it. Hopefully Monday (ooh deja vu!)


And finally….Id really like to get the Klingon Insignia as a tattoo on my ankle..like this

but all black

I attempted to put some wash in wash out hair dye in my hair – Plum (purple). My hair didn’t really take it but my lovely silver nail varnish is now a nice light pink colour!

I have sold my first thing on ebay Lookit!

I also have 2 with bids on em ending tomorrow! Excellent!

My shit is bananas

Oh I had another really bizarre dream this morning. We (im not sure who “we” were but there was a bunch of us) were held hostage in my house by a group of people. I did manage to try and ask some woman who was playing with her kids to get the police, who arrived that same second and proceeded to take off their masks (at this point I got a whole “this has happened before”) feeling and joined the hostage takers. Trying to find a place to hide in my house (which was now infinitely) I made my way through this horrible 1950’s shower room (which was labyrinthian) to the back where a bunch of “Us” apparently had been hiding, but I decided to go back in case I got discovered. In another niche a group of good looking but slightly creepy looking fellas who were in fact vampires.


Made it back out and now I was in some underground but very brightly lit cavern with running rivers and gondolas and had lots of servants running around in it with champagne and stuff….for some reason there was a pick and mix stand. I was just helping myself when the guy who had been disguised as a police man caught up on me.

I’ve own my little motor (below) for just over 3 years now, today was the first time I’ve put petrol in it!


My dad and i have an unwritten agreement – I’m paying off the car and also the insurance (which he’s named on) and he puts petrol in it. Excellent deal for him since he drives it more than I do. Unfortunately he didn’t top it up and he is, of course, away on holiday, so I figured why be petty and drive it on fumes and just bit the bullet . Scarily I’m quite proud of myself

This morning I dreamt that my mum and dad came h0me early cause my mum had an (unserious) accident. I think got pissed off cause some kids were trying to tempt next doors Alsation through our fence, but it turned out not to be next doors alsation it was some dog that shoul of been on the other side of the fence (the address on the collar was on the otherside). I was going back into the house round the back when I saw the back yard was soaking and thought it was a kid playing with the hose – it wasn’t most of the water was coming from a leaking something or other in shed (there isn’t anything that could leak massives of water or any water in the shed). I went and told my mum who went out to look and was surprising unannoyed!


Them coming home early was the worst part though!

Eh well maybe not but I am going to try and sell some of my DVDs on Ebay – you may go and admire Legally Blonde I doubt it’ll sell and thus I’ll lose some money but hey…live and learn baby – I have about 10 DVDs I want to put up.


Speaking of money – now that the git of a brother has a job (with the goddamned civil service I do believe) I shall hopefully be getting my money back! Whoop! -He’s also made up with the mother but I still think he’s a supreme arsehole


Also I may be in line for a bonus of (hopefully) £100 at work….well Id better be in line for it since I work my little (hahahahahahahaha) backside off and voluntarily take work from other desks – I may come across as a lazy cow (and in fact I am!) but I do hate having nothing to at work!


Speaking of work – one of my customers today on the phone said she (SHE SHE SHE not ME :P) was a “bad bitch” who talked “shit”...She was nearly 73 it wasn’t what I expected to hear! Not that I was offended and I suppose my Aunt who’s in her 70’s swears like a trooper….gave me something to grin about


Oh and also happily – the ‘rents are off on holiday tomorrow for a whole week…..B.L.I.S.S.!

I am so angry at my git of a brother right now.

Not only didn’t he bother to tell my mum he’d (finally) got a job when she asked him (semi jokingly) if he didn’t tell her cause he didn’t like her he didn’t reply so she asked again and he still didn’t reply. So now she’ll all upset.

What a fucking asshole

Hmmm lumpy potatoes, lump gravy, 5 day old dried peas and sausages grilled in the oven in their own fat….tasty!

Had a very strange dream on Saturday night…...basically I got kidnapped by an old guy who wanted me to clean his outside urinal. My friends turned up to save me in bus which nearly left without me when I went to say goodbye to the old man. I had to run after it, catch the door and swing myself onto the little ledge (I don’t think there normally is one) at the door, then bang on it to get the drivers attention.

Went to the dentist today – I hate driving there it’s complicated and i’m an unconfident, crap driver.

I have really good gums apparently….

Yay!

Was watching some stupid programme on TMF the other night (TMF=The music factory which is on the freeview music channels and sometimes screens VH1 shows) about the most used music video gimmicks (or something to that effect). Anyhow one of the “gimmicks” was the so called”Jesus pose” where the artist stands with the arms wide. Just made me think how much christianity has brained washed whole cultures. Jesus pose my big fat arse. If the bible never existed you’d still get people standing with the arms wide open, unless there’s a cross or a crown of thorns involved it’s bugger all to do with Jesus. It’s the most vulnerable position you can be in – no defence oh and also welcoming since arms crossed means you are rejecting. The road i work on is a bit of a wind tunnel for some reason and everytime it gets up I want to walk down the street with my arms wide….it doesn’t mean I have a friggin jesus complex.

Stupid people.

Adding to the list started on 1 March 05

Hmmm Amazon said the Titan novel was out April 1st when I checked it yesterday, today it says 3rd May…..quite irritating!

We’re hoping to get a bonus at work for generally being wonderful (there are more specific reasons but Id be here all day if I went into em). However instead of being given to everyone someone up the management level (presumably with a pole up their arse) only wants them given to “deserving” people. Now the whole bonus thing is supposed to be a morale booster (cause really there aren’t too many perks in the job and it isn’t one you can really love) and deciding who is “worthy” doesn’t really boost morale as divide staff. Wankers.

I have come to the conclusion that my place of work has decided to secretly enforce an exercise regime. This is being done in two ways – malfunctioning lifts and repeated fire alarms. Now I work on the 11thfloor (there are 21) and I’m gonna wait for a lift to take me up regardless of how long it takes, but for a fire alarm we have to walk down the stairs. I reckon I must of been out 10 times since I started in July 03. Only 2 of these were actually fire related! The rest were drills, malfunctions and once someone deliberately /accidentally hit the alarm. So the bell rings and we all dutifully trot out and down the many many stairs and across the road to city hall. A nice little work out!

Rejoice! I finally got my Dishwalla album from Amazon . They don’t have any lyrics in it though .

And finally…...
Today I shall be painting my nails – this colour



In case you can’t tell it’s a bright, metallic pink colour
