EmLah's Always Right

its new phone time!

2011-05-25T17:30:00.001+01:00

I am returned to my blog.

Yes it is a tech week

Yes im not programming

I finally got my new phone yesterday after long months of dealing with a constantly dying one. Some may call me silly for going with another motorola after the issues i had with the Dext. But the hardware issues were outweighed by the brilliant MOTOBLUR (predictive text capitalises it!) Software. Which meant when i logged into my account on my new phone ALL my contacts and accounts were waiting for me. Fucking fabulous!

This tech is awful the jumped up lecturer is a douche and the student ld is a disgrace to her teachers. The casts accents are so awful theyve given me a headache and the studio is BOILING!

Peace out lovers x

The Return of The 'Add Picture' Button.

2011-04-15T09:37:00.002+01:00

somehow (fuck knows how) the picture button has returned to my blogger poster thingy on the website. so now i guess i can start working on PAD stuff, or i could just leave it on Flickr as i have commented on each one? i don't knoooow.

AW!

2011-04-15T09:13:00.002+01:00

i wrote a MASSIVE post yesterday on my blogging app, and it ISN'T HERE!! how very tedious.

Once more into a tech dear friends

2011-04-12T14:20:00.001+01:00

Well, another week another show. Its good so far, cant ask for anything more than the first half done in the first tech session!
The show is View from the Bridge and, judging by the run i saw last week its going to be very frickin good.
I downside is we've got a work experience boy here, and he is a serious techie boy.
What i mean by techie boy is a kid who ALWAYS knows better than you, as far as he's concerned. Who already knows everything and more about technical theatre. Anjd i'm reasonably certain the young ones refuse to listen/accept your opinions if only because you are female.
Now im not saying this kid is for sure a techie boy, he may well be nervous and just trying to show he knows stuff about our industry.
I had a run in with one at uni, the thing with techie boys is they NEVER have any creative instinct, but are certain that they do. This run in ended with Brychan nearly knocking him out when he said "see ya later Bitch" to me, as i'd joked that as the LD/tech director for the show we were working on...he was my bitch. In standard techie boy form, he refused to admit someone might know more than him or be in a higher position.
I think its the arrogance and know its the smug expressions that truly get my back up with these people (as im sure techie girls exist too). I mean this kid commented so disparagingly on the Strand 530 console (having never even used one) that i immediately pointed out all its good points and how without it we'd still be using switches and the desk his stage school have wouldnt even exist, and how i obviously disliked their desk. (Which i don't i think the EOS series is awesome.)
These boys may well grow up, keep their knowledge but stop being such smug little twunts. I do very very much hope this is the case.

Anyways, peace n love n all that.

Yoga

2011-04-07T23:00:00.001+01:00

So, me, doing Yoga?!

Mad right? The skinny girl who hardly ever exercises out of choice mostly because my job is pretty damn physical! But i figure that i can't rely on work for exercise, Show call is not condusive to fitness, too much sims on the sofa.
So, this week while i've had the mornings free with Attempts work in the afternoon/evening i've been playing with Yoga. I found this great DVD; Yoga for Dummies, which is so very very like a spoof video that i enjoy watching it and I've so far done half an hour of Yoga the last 3 days. AND myself and chiropractor sarah are going to a class at LA fitness on sunday.
So far (gosh every paragraph begins with So doesn't it?) I am enjoying it, i've been a little less stiff each afternoon, and i've done a few more of the 'Daily Dozen' ending today with the full dozen performed before 11am! Woo!

Lets see if i can keep this up! (Like the blogging)

Nomasdae! (Fuck knows if thats how its spelt!).

Here's todays Photo a Day, at some point i'll post a link to all the others i have taken, its always a battery issue at the end of the day that stops me posting these!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8

Maybe...

2011-04-06T19:18:00.001+01:00

...just maybe, one day when i say i'll keep up with my blog, ill keep up with it.
I mean, i seem to have had a lot more to say when i was 18/19 than i do now at 25.
Or is it merely that i'm now stupidly busy and pretty much live in a theatre?
For example, this week I'm working 1pm til 10pm. My routine the last 2 days has been:
10am(ish) get-up and attempt some Yoga (more on that later)
11am(ish) shower, do random household chores washing up etc.
12pm eat, watch ground force whilst playing Sims.
1240pm leave for work.
11pm get home from work after consuming a fake beer in the bar (More on that later). Play some sims or watch TV.
1230am go to bed.

Sure i could get up earlier and get more in, but i like sleeping til 10 its the only way i really feel like ive had enough sleep. I WISH i was someone who got up at 8am no matter what they were doing, people who get a morning as well as an extra bit of evening.
Anyway, i ramble.
I shall post about Yoga and alcohol free beer later. (No i'm not pregnant, just a bit broken.)
With my current track record, the yoga post will be december and the beer one sometime in 2012

2011-02-06T18:15:00.000Z

Hello Blogging-World! (or probably just Kate actually)

it's been a bloody long time since i've posted on here. could it be due to lack of desk? or merely laziness? or perhaps 'cause i'm always at work?

well anyway, i figure as i'm doing this wonderous Photo A Day journal thingy, that i shall do a monthly blog post with all included.

and you never know... maybe i'll post some more now i've cleared off the desk.

A Song That Means...

2008-10-23T22:13:00.002+01:00

...a lot to me. it's basically me. the whole thing. from different perspectives. how my closest friends see me and how i see myself. it also gave me some damn good advice last summer when it was released.

Say you to me
You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin' the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn't so

Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearin' me apart
Right from the very start
And now I see
That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong
So long
You'll see

Hold on
To what you've been given lately
Hold on
To what you know you've got
Hold on
To what you've been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not

Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, on young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin' part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin', fiercely

I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I felt a change a-comin
I felt a change a-comin
felt a change a-comin, soon

Hold on
To what you've been given lately
Hold on
To what you know you've got
Hold on
To what you've been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not

Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you're ready or not

I Really Hate...

2008-10-15T23:17:00.003+01:00

people passing comment on F1 whenthey know nothing about it.

the people i am immediately sure do not know anything about F1 are the people who only started watching it because of Lewis Hamilton.

these are the people who are the most voiceiferous (ignore spelling u know what i mean) in chat room, on youtube comments, on facebook etc.etc.

these people have absolutely no understanding of driver ettiquette, or of any of the long standing F1 rules.

AND YET.....

they still pass comment on everything "ferrari are evil...blahblahblah FIA are in their pocket....blahblahblah"

BOLLOCKS TO THAT!!!

i mean seriously the only team who have cheated in the recent history of the sport are Maclaren for fucksake!!!!!

putting all the bias against ferrari to one side (hamil-humpers only dislike them because they kick hamiltons arse constantly and they discovered that lewis was only winning races last year because of a) his tailormade 10 year in development just for him car and b) its bolted on bits of ferrari.

YES hamilton has talent YES one day he may well be a great driver BUT he is not the reincarnation of ayrton senna (and lewis you did say you drove better than senna at monaco, therefore you did say you were better than senna therefore your talking out your arse when you say you haven't said that) AND had any other driver in the field been spoon fed by maclaren since he was an infant, he would be exactly where lewis is.

Hamilton reminds me a lot of Montoya. he used to do dangerous and reckless things like diving around in front of other peoples cars! (thats twice hes done it to kimi now, but he wont crash unless its wet lewis, he has better grip than you i the dry)

seriously i don't hate hamilton. i understand that a certain amount of bravado and confidence and even arrogance is needed to be the F1 champion (my favourite driver is Kimi for fucksake) but he needs to stop trying to be all holier than though, i'd like him a lot better if he just dropped the fake "nice-boy" persona.

ok i should probably stop now, i expect i'll get hateful comments on the post by people who have only watched F1 for 18 months and know Senna only as Hamiltons hero.

...i followspotted gerry and the pacemakers today. how cool am i.

Shoe Update...

2008-10-03T18:09:00.002+01:00

...it's all good.

mother has agreed to pur-chase for me the beautiful shoes of my previous post as a birthday gift!!

so i was free to buy these shoes to match my dress!
the only downside is that i'll be 6'3" and unable to drive safely. i shall take some pumps for driving too and from the church and brychan is geting lifts for his shoes!

Me = LadyZilla

(like image of me tearing buldings down, like ANTM shoot in S11E05.)

may change to talking like this. Marian Keye's new book written in this style. i enjoy. reminds me of how i hear Kate talk in head.

tootle bye XD

Shoe Help....REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!

2008-09-30T21:35:00.001+01:00

Would these shoes...
Go with this dress...
or would the combination be too vibrant...

HELP!!!

I have decided...

2008-09-29T20:45:00.002+01:00

....to stop hating lewis hamilton out-loud. as the more mean i get the more kimi crashes.

and hating people is bad for your soul anyway.

i am all alone in our family home. mother is in greece which is nice for her.

i realised today i haven't been in the living room since she went off. very random. but i tend to watch stuff on my laptop...which is in my room. plus my nice snuggley bed is waaaay better than a sofa anyway :)

kisses

Hamilton - The Man I Hate

2008-09-07T15:28:00.002+01:00

well kate was wrong about me blogging more...

Lewis Hamilton. he is without doubt the biggest cock pocket to come out of britain since bernie ecclestone himself.

not only does he ditch his childhood sweetheart for a bimbo his dad picked out for him with a colour chart. not only does he have 9 autobiographies. and not only does he invite people to watch him race who give the black power salute to the cameras.
but he is underhand enough to dive around the race track in treachorous conditions in order to drive his rival off the racetrack almost certainly as revenge for him passing him on the outside (which he says, is undoable) in the first lap. AFTER he made a mistake, a couple of corners after i might add so it probably wasn't because of his mistake.

he then cheers and celebrates his stolen victory without checking whether or not the man he drove off the track is actually in one piece.

Lewis Hamilton is a world-class twunt. if there was a championship for the worlds biggest twunt i would support him every step of the way to gaining his rightful title.

however in F1 where he is no more talented than half the pack, hes just had a tailor made car, he will never truly be world champion in anything oher than name. because to be world champion in F1 humanity, decency, and a sense of driving ettiquette is required.

oh and i would have thought having your dad hold your balls for you wouldbe a clear disqualification. isn't that tampering with the driver/car package?

apparently i'll blog more..

2008-07-22T09:34:00.001+01:00

...now im no longer a student, i don't think my sibling gets that im in rehearsals at least 10 hours a day for the next 3 weeks. altho i guess i may blog more after that :)

The Non-Student

2008-07-18T23:15:00.002+01:00

oh my...i graduated yesterday.

that means i'm a non smoking adult.

who doesn't get to learn in lectures anymore (which does actually make me sad as i really do like learning)

graduation was pretty fun :) as was the drinking after.

the best part (tho at the time it made my blood pressure spike) was when they opened the ceremony with a piece written by Bach for the Cello, which was played on the piano. it wasn't listed as among the music to be played (i'd already had a moment over pachelbel's canon) and when the opening bars hit home i knew that my dad was there in spirit, or maybe it was just a sign from Her that he would have been proud had he lived.

i bet i just made Kate cry...

...that as its the holidays i should be posting more, no excuses of uni work hehe.

weeeeeeeeell i went to Le Mans 24hr last week, which was pretty awesome. we built a beer mountain out of 362 bottles (thats 180 odd pints) and finished off at least another 60 odd pints once the tetrabeerdron as brychan calls it was finished. these last pints were obtained due to the ingenuity of polish Fil and myself trudging around the campsite offering to buy beer! (and also by brych an cliff who contributed with one case n some heiniken) the final 'steal' count was 52 bottles of Kronenbourg, 2 Bulmers, 12 Stella, 6 Heiniken, a bottle of wine, a pack of baccy with rizla and a party invite at which we got more beer all for the grand total of 22 euros. me thinks we did ok.

i took over 1500 photos (some being deleted for crapness) which are being added to flickr as i write this, very slowly as the tool keeps overloading!

in other news i didn't get into RADA which is now of cos it means i got a 1.4 Feista Zetec '07 reg with a tech toy package instead :) but now i have to earn lots of money to pay off my debts and become a real person. i'm still gonna apply for RWCMD for Feb tho just to see if they want me or need more professional experience.

right i have a feeling my smiley faces are burning and Robin Hood is calling

A Letter From God To Man

2008-05-07T22:22:00.003+01:00

Once more i find myself finding sense in the Lyrics of Dan Le Sac Vs Scroubius Pip. there's something about the song that just gives u a really righteous feeling, and with it a slight sense of despair for the species! but not bad despair....you know what i mean.

Hey There, how, how’s it going?
Long time no see.
I know I haven’t been around much lately
But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss

But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less.

So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted when all the religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered

Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded

Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.

I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop

I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creater, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers

It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name

So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created you

Sums it up i feel

Life's Little Nuances

2008-04-04T20:24:00.002+01:00

this is perhaps my favourite occurance of the last few months;

ok so last night i was feelin pretty down...probably because i spent 2 weeks not having to do any work so had a lot more time to think about the life the universe and everything. so i had a bit of a moan to myself about it and decided to have a cigarette. off i trot downstairs and this guy appears out of no where and starts chatting to me and for some reason it just gave me back any faith in myself and people in general. i then had a good natter to my haras and the night got even better :)

just one of those experiences that make u think someones looking out for u somewhere.

i'm getting rather excited about my post-grad options. i know i know i haven't finished one uni course yet so why am i getting all het-up about another one! mainly because the RADA course would suite me perfectly, the Central course would be good for me (if stupidly expensive) the Welsh Col course is relatively cheap lol and although the Lamda one is too long i may as well apply anyway.

those are all the ones i've looked at so far but i'm gonna get applying over christmas i think. may as well get in there early! plus RADA and LAMDA both do course in the summer (again the RADA one looks better) which i shall be applying for. the main issue so far is whether or not i want to specialise in just Lighting design an electrics or should i be smart and study Stage Managament too on the Welsh Col course?

i think those of you who know me well know that i don't really give a fig (great expression) about SM and i love my lighting so i just have to be incredibly sparking in the RADA app as they only take 3 students a year.

but can you imagine...me....at RADA.....fooking awesome.

....how much blogging my sister has been doing over the last week. crazy mare :) sooooooooooo whats new with me hmmmm not much really. my birthday was a sad repeat of last year but without the 'ricay re-inforcements, instead of no drama paople coming out it was no tref people, other than Sean who is my sean :) but its those that put the effort in i count as my mates :) 2 of brychans mates came in from bath and oxford, and they've only met me a few times therefore i like brychans mates :)

uni is uni, i hae a proposal due in next week, i think i want to do my applied work in the royal british legion home thats nearby somewhere, i think i can learn a lot from veterans like those :) tho they'll probably all hold with the idea that drama is for cissys lol.

i have a job! (i should post more lol) its at the Office concession in the giant topshop in town. i'm enjoying it so far, mainly cos of all the pretty shoes i get to look at, i dont enjoy it so much when a customer asks for the pretty shoes and i have to balance on a ladder and try not to fall off while pulling out the right box! but i got a free pair of sexy silver wrap around boots and i get 35% off which is niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

i'm off to see Macbeth next week which will be rather fabulous as it has the swoonirific Patrick Stewart in it (ok not so swoony but hes a damn good actor)

i got awesome things for my birthday including.... A Necklace made our of quartz and amethyst into a triskele :) some nuclear waste containers a pink leatherman, a funky funky mask, a photo hangy thing, a duck keyring, a meh t-shirt, an Audrey Hepburn belt (drooooool), a nemo balloooon, many drinks and a lovely Dante's Divine Comedy edition from the Bath boys and i think lucy but i'm not sure who to give the credit too lol.

things with me n brychan are awesome :) he is far too good to a moany old cow like me :) tho i suppose he does get beer out of the deal...oh and smarties cookies :)

i shall endeavor to post more

RIGHT

2007-10-23T11:24:00.000+01:00

here i am

after a long abscence of more than a month i have returned to the world of blog. a lot has happened in the last month, the main thing being that my dad died. it was rather sucky.

i'm fed up with everyone being worried about me. i do not need to be worried about. i've coped with death far too many times already to go catatonic in a corner.

i miss him tho i find myself noticing things i should tell him about or wondering what kind of bird just flew over my head. but wherever he is now he will be without pain i hope.

so anyway enough of that morbid crap (u see why people are worried?) me, my mum kate and anthony and my brychan went to center parcs at the weekend for my mums 60th birthday celebrations. it was legendary. had so very much fun and drank far too much wine. i think i shall lay off the sauce for a few days for i am concerend for my kidneys lol.

i duno what eles to say realy uni is fun, pretty hardcore in the lectures and i havn't been doing enough outside of the lectures but i shall rectify that one!

oh and brychan has a free house until november 1st. so i have the feelign i'll be spending a large amoutn of time in Barry over the next couple of weeks!!

Shock.

2007-09-20T14:30:00.000+01:00

I just got a horrible shock.

oh i thought i'll just back up all the files on my laptop while i pack! thats a good idea....problem was i hadn't fully comprehended how much i'd lost when my laptop crashed in april. i thought i'd at least backed everyhing up from before christmas, but no i flipped through my photo and files CDs and see that the furthest they go is august 2006. so i basically lost all the original copies of everthing i photographed after that time. including all my photograpy work for the 2nd module all the nights out i;d been on and every shot i'd ever taken with my digital SLR.

you can imagine the sinking feeling. in fact i still have that sinking feeling as i write this. sur ei know i have all my favourite photographs backed up on flickr. but thats not the same as having he originals on disc. its just a horrible feeling!

i shll now endeavor to back up every single file on my laptop. i hope i have enough discs...

stupid age of the computer.

seriously how is this not offensive?

2007-08-16T13:51:00.000+01:00

it really bugs me something chronic that something that is so degrading to women can be so popular!
[Intro:]
Teen drinking is very bad.
Yo I got a fake id though.
Yeeah, yeeah, yeeah, yo, 2 step with me, 2 step with me.

[Verse 1:]
1, here comes the 2 to the 3 to the 4,
Everybody drunk out on the dance floor,
Babygirl ass jiggle like she want more,
Like she a groupie and I aint even on tour,
Maybe cause she heard that I rhyme hardcore,
Or maybe cause she heard that I buy out the stores,
Bottom of the 9th in the series gotta score,
If not i gotta move on to the next whore,
Here comes the 3 to the 2 to the 1,
Homeboy trippin' he don't know I got a gun,
When it come to pop man we do shit for fun,
You aint got one nigga you betta run,
Now i'm in the back gettin head from my hunz,
While she goin down i'm breakin down what i done,
She smokin my blunt sayin she aint havin fun,
bitch give it back now you don't get none.

[Chorus:]
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.

[Verse 2:]
2, here comes the 3 to the 4 to the 5,
Now i'm lookin at shorty right in the eyes,
Couple seconds passed now i'm lookin at her thighs,
While she tellin me how much she hate her guy,
Said she got a kid but she got her tubes tied,
If you 21 girl that's alright,
I wonder if a shake comin with them fries,
If so baby can i get em super sized,
Here comes the 4 to the 3 to the 2,
She started feelin on my johnson right out the blue,
Girl you super thick so i'm thinkin that's koo,
Bit instead of 1 lifestlye i need 2
Her eyes got big when she glanced at my jewels,
Expression on her face like she aint got a clue,
And she told me she don't run with a crew,
You know how i do but i guess why i gotta do.

[Chorus:]
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.

[Verse 3:]
3, here comes the 4 to the 5 to the 6,
Self explanatory I ain't gotta say i'm rich,
This single man aint tryna get hitched,
Nigga waste it on me man son of a bitch,
Brushed it all off now i'm back to gettin lit,
Grisa orange juice man this some good ish,
Homeboy trippin cause i'm starin at his chick,
Now he on the sideline starin at my clique,
Here comes the 5 to the 4 to the 3,
Hands in the air if you cats drunk as me,
Club on the set kwon cut out them trees,
Dude i don't care i'm a p.i.m.p.

[Chorus:]
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy,
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.

[Outro:]
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.
Everybody in this bitch gettin tipsy.

Ok so i'm crap and haven't posted for AGES

harry potter was absolutely awesome, met more cool people at Kates work and read a totally amazing book, also realised how very much i miss customer service (i'll look back on this after 6 months of working next uni year n swear at myself) seriously tho the book is so good. im so gonna be reading it again VERY soon :)

Sarah French a.k.a Haras is off travelling for a year. standby for EmLah to go absolutely insane over the next 12 months probably regressing to a large blob of primeval mucus about may next year.

i'm headed off to cardiff butt for the weekend to se my Dori :)

and i just bought a Creative Zen V+ which is a very funky little MP3 player. its 4gb and i got it for a damn good price! (fuck off mum it isn't extravagent its a good deal and its gonna be really useful to me i do Drama Theatre and MEDIA therefore i need some kidn of semi-decent modern MEDIA player) grr

i have also been feeling a lot of rage recently about racism, mainly in songs that are about now a days which noone other than me and a few friends seem to have spotted the racist content. the song that gets me the most is Mama Africa by Akon, listen to or read the lyrics and hopefully you'll pick up what i mean. i just feel so frustrated about the one-way definition of racism, it is prejudice against any race, which does include caucasions (and yes i know i can't spell) i don't want anyoen to think i'm being racist myself about this song just because it's a black musician, i simply feel that it aggrevates me that if a song of this ilk were produced by a white musician it would not necessarily be accepted in the way in which the song by Akon is. i respect him as a muscian but as a person i think he appears to be a pretentious nob. and yes i am just jealous of the amount of money he makes.

ok i hope that makes some kind of sense and doesn't paint me as a member of the KKK.

2007-07-12T22:11:00.000+01:00

So then, i haven't been up to much exciting since returning to essex, been out a few times n got drunk and worked lots (41 days to go) then brychan came up for 4 days at the weekend and for sarahs birthday which combined made it one of the best weekends i've ever had at home!

and i'll end that paragraph there, we all know i tend to lean toward the morbid when at home!

soooooooo work is basically jsut that, tho i must say a whole week of matching up letters to ARFs then doing it all over with the right letters (thanks frances) is probably right up there with checking for consent no. 3's from last year! but lunch is fun although i did nearly get taken out on the zebra crossing today which scared the shit out of me, the car was literally an inch from my legs when it came to a stop!

headed off to see Potter tomoro night with the Sarahs, gonna try deperately to re read the book before then so i can moan about it being wrong all the way thro! tho i expect i'll still get upset at the end!

oh and wooooooooooo i got a 2:1 in my 2nd year, the highlights of the marks being a nice fat 76 in Design and 74 in independant study, which was lucretia Borgia! so wooooo

anyway im gonna go potter myself potty and talk to zee man :)

xxx

and i'm famous

2007-07-05T18:58:00.000+01:00

can u tell i listen to too much radio during the day at work!! but hey i've had my texts read out twice this week!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/edithbowman/galleries/1739/12/#gallery1739

but yey for brychan comin on saturday whilst im drunk at sarahg's birthday extravaganza, then we're off to watch some tour de france action on sunday, tho im gonna be asleep riding on his back lol

Weeeell then

2007-06-25T18:44:00.000+01:00

LeMans was rather fabulous, thought it rained the entire time, well it didnt rain for like 6 hours on sunday then we put on suncream and it went "oh no you dont!" n bucketed it down instead. i got so very wet, and so did my camera bag. mah but still awesome.

me n Brychan spent a few days in bath too, well we actually spent more days in bath than we did in france lol, that was great, he has a really awesome group of mates n it was rather fun. lots of laughs n stuff.

the last 2 weeks have seemed like forever but rushed by really fast if that makes any kind of sense, all i can say is i'm pretty damn happy with the welshman, and the 3 months of holidays, instead of feeling like forever and that theyr never gonna end, actually look as if theyr gonna go by really fast. tis good :) and its Reading Festival in like 60 days!!! WWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

so im back at NatCen for the summer, i'm gonna make a little countdown type thing i reckon excluding weekends n reading n bits just so as i know exactly how many days of random filing and stupid interviewers!

Matty has finally turned up on facebook so altho hes been neglecting my blog of late at least hes on there! plus i havnt heard from seanin a few days i wonder if hes drunk under a machine somewhere. hehe

right i'll be off for now then.

xxxxxx

so then

2007-06-15T12:07:00.000+01:00

welllllll

im off to LeMans tonight and right now im sat in Brychan's mate Mark's room while brychan n ben attempt to transcribe some kind of goldmember walkie talkie speech for use on the drive later. i may go mad and jump car before we even get on the ferry

but yey to the LeMans

im off to shop!

where have i been eh?

buzzing around like a very busy thing. had the 2nd year pracs which went well, then a week of popular theatre which was bloody hilarious, ending in a performance where i got to stab myself in the throat after strangling lenny n smothering bridie. bring it! bloody awesome hehe then it was the conference yesterday all essays in ll work done im finished with the 2nd year!!! woooooop

in the meantime i have fallen madly in love iwth a welshman. yes i know your all very disappointed in me. im a bad person with terrible taste in men but u knew that anyway so why are u giving me that look?!? its cool, he makes me happy, even when hes being a bit of a dick i just wait around 10 mins n hes a nice guy again hehe, even threatened to decapitate highlander for telling his girlfriend id come onto him, oh and by the way they hadnt split up when i was seeing him. i foudn this out cos the lovely girlfriend stood next to me at the bar n said "you're a slag aren't u, yeh u r, uve snogged my boyfriend" which caused me to have an internal explosion but i walked calmly away, when her mates came up to me laughing and joking (male mates) and said "your a fucking slag aren't you" i lost my rag a little so while i was in the toilets screaming down the phone to sean brychan had a quiet word with them telling them to go fuck themselves. anyway this all led ot me talking to the girl and filling her in on a few things about her stinky boyfriend. mainly that he'd come onto me, he was a wanker and no, he has spent the last year and a half stalking dori not the other way around.

nob.

happier things! im going to see im sorry i hant a clue on monday which shall be awesome! then the weekend after im home for a brief stint with the welshman to see LOTR on stage and have some drinkies with me buddies, then off to le mans the weekend after that to get sunburnt n deafness from the pretty sun and cars. THEN finally i shall be returning from wales to essex to slog at natcen for 2 months, various trips to wales an reading festival occuring at intervals. mah.

thats right sports fans i'm back in the welsh valleys ready for the end of my 2nd year...SHIT

its sunny as hell, i've had a nice man entertaining me for the last couple of days and i helped dori figure out how to build a cage with drainpipes and flower pots. its just a sham i havn't actualy done any of my work yet! i'll be stealing kellys eyes later for my final photograph and then i shall be tweeking away at them for the rest of the day!

i got a free packet of sugar with my shopping! woo lol

it was 4 years since george was killed on the 17th, i think this year is the best i've coped with it! only had a very small moment when i thanked brychan for being such a good distraction! lol i've done and seen so much in the 4 years since, i can safely say i am no longer the little bitch who could be very thoughtless with her sharp tongue, all life is too precious to belittle with petty comments, sure i may still make cutting remarks but i do my best never to say anything that could genuinely hurt someone.

maaaah i swear whenever i think i should write a long entry i get all melancholy, which is just wrong when listeing to idina menzel singing the wizard and i, which is an uplifting and amusing song! "since folks round here seem to be, fixated on you're vertigree" LOVE IT.

chin up chucks

met a nice guy last night, i never seem to talk about blokes on here anymore probably cos this gets posted to facebook which is generally where all the guys id talk about are most of the time lol but yeh he seems nice i don't expect any thing from it but its all fun, mainly i wanted to mentionhim cos he has a name thats incredibly hard to spell Brychan bloody welshies lol and he mentioned he follows a norse like religion and hates christianity which gave me a chill of oh shit this guy is the welsh version of phoenix RUN!!! very amusing moment my face must have been a picture.

so anyway it was dans Anchorman birthday do yesterday started drinking at 1 stopped about 2am oh dear i vaguely remember everythin especially that i bought the boys a bloody case of carling for beer pong! insane i am i really really am! i have been very sneaky and am keeping my rent money until the loans come in on the 23rd of april, cos beky said i can pay her then and i have 10 quid to last me a month and a credit card, credit card is not good, especially since i jus had to fork out for 2 reading tickets lol. oh dear kate don't say anythin to mum! i probably will tell her at some point and she can yell and ill give her back half or somethin but im poor :( and this savesher giving me any other money!

REPOST AS "HOW MUCH HAVE YOU CHANGED IN 10 YEARS"

Febuary!

2007-03-10T22:50:00.000Z

it's really weird cos i didn't go out with any of my usual ladies due to Lucretia and flu n stuff! n when i did go out with them i forgot my camera. don't be mad girlies!!

feeling patriotic

2007-03-09T11:00:00.001Z

There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word,
which means more to me than any other.
That word is ENGLAND.

cheers churchill!!

entertainment

2007-03-06T11:02:00.000Z

with the entertainment provided by my sister and sean i feel very reluctant to post in case i can't match them for humor! but hey i suppose i better have a go.

not much has been happening, we appear to have some kind of creature in our house that eats other peoples food, so far its had my new bottle of lemonade, a pack of Salami and most of a jar of peaunut butter. and since kelly has her own, beky hates it, and pip doesn't eat smooth peaunut butter i'm starting to think i might be sleep eating!

not much else has been going on, my funds have gone from bad to worse with the occurence of too many birthday and special events in march, im scared to look at my credit card bill lol and my account balance! i had one of those weekends where money jus seems to go even tho i tried not to let it stupid snap decisions like going into marks n sparks will be the end of me! time ot extend my overdraft i think!

ugh i hate being poor i'm not used to it! and i cant find any work so looks like im stuck, plus theres no way i'll ask my mum for any money cos shes poor as it is, i need a nice rich man to buy me drinks...but i live in wales and they're all five-foot tall and about the same wide, i miss my nice well muscled lean men! ah well.

xxx

the end...

2007-02-21T10:49:00.000Z

shows over folks!

well not today it was over on saturday night....but since i've been holed up in bed with flu since havn't really had the clarity of mind to wirte a fascinating blog entry! and as this is a hopefully prolonged lucid moment, i had a couple of hours yesterday morning but they faded as the day advanced lol, thought i'd better do me a lil entry!

the show in glam was awesome :) especially since on thrudays Saz, Lucy Pol n Beky all came to see it :) they seemed to really enjoy it! the look on Sazzles face during the final scene was priceless! Pip, Costello (and heres the biggy) SEAN and Dan came on the friday, Costello was scared shitless by Montefeltros entrance (hahahaha its a woman in a CLOAK with her arm painted BLACK costello!) and i was incredibly flattered by Seans presence, especially since it was his first ever play, and eh only blacked out through some of it! LOVE IT! well hs n dans fav bits were the Lighting changes and they hastily headed for the pub after (im guessing the real favourite bits were when me n emma kept buying them drinks in appreciation of their effort) and then of course saturday night was the final night! got nicely tipsy on Cava on set, Prof Hand gave us a little sing-song there were thanks and group photos all round then we all went to the pub and got slaghtered! like really drunk at like 5 o'clock hence why i didnt realise until late on sunday that what i had was flu and hangover not just a hangover. not good dude.

so its goodbye to Lucretcia Borgia and hello to life! altho now the Handmaid's Tale starts in earnest with lots of "how to be a puppet" training from me and lots of moanin from my actors lol.

off home on friday for padge B'day, we're goin to the comedy club so shud be awesome despite lack of funds!

xxxxxxx

just a quikie..

2007-02-12T00:59:00.000Z

show was awesome, went down really well all 3 nights :) and despite some people being nasty cos its just in their natures it was a lot of fun :)
ill post more on tues when i wake up from my hibernation day!

OH NO!!!!!!!! I'VE BROKEN MY SCREWDRIVEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May: i just thought id better post cos ive been a lazy cow lol.

June: sorry its the essex.. and i havnt updated even tho im at home with nothing to do because ive been filing my lil ass off for the last 4 days.

July: lets all kill ronaldo let all kill ronaldo na na na na, da na na na.

August: Guido, he fix....

September: reading festival was so very very awesome me n padge had a wicked time n weirdly enough i had a wicked time with jodie n martin collins who used to be my next door neighbours obviously they didnt talk to me as i was younger than everyone by about 5 years n they were all so in awe of my sister (who did not like me at all then) they didnt really talk to me.

October: hows it goin eh? im gravy went to canterbury for the weekend
n now im ill with some kind of chest infection!

November: aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im like so old its insane! lol also im wearing a lot of grey today, i dunno why but hey grey is a good colour!

December: went home for the weekend which was cool altho my leaving did seem to spark a certain person into revealing how she thinks of me which was nice, well not nice it gave me a very unpleasant trainride home but im sure she thought about that before she did it.

so..... apparently i spend a lot of time at the beginning of the month moaning that i havn't posted enough lol

Sean.

2007-01-29T23:12:00.000Z

this is a post about sean. and the immense love that i have for sean. he is by far the nicest guy i have ever met, athough that doesnt mean much really since i tend to meet complete wankers. other than sean. um. he has very pretty hair and a nice sexy man body. and he is very very good at cuddles. although it is annoying when one wants cuddles and sean is naked. for as one is seans best friend one feels that hugging sean while he is naked is stepping over the boundaries a little. but never the less the cuddles are very good.

sean is my rock.

i do not know what i would do without my sean, well i do but i'd rather not think about it as it is too terrible to contemplate

HAPPY NOW!?

2007-01-27T12:50:00.000Z

i do apologeise for my lack of posting, actually no i dont ive been busy! spent lke 10 hours on trains on tues and weds, and got stuck in liverpool street which sucked lol anyway..
i had my colposcopy last week (look it up i aint gonna explain it lol) and i still have abnormal cells :( gotta wait for the test results tho befor ei find out if they're worse or not tho so watch this space :S nah ill be fine i hope well i better be else frenchie will hurt me lol.
the shit hath hiteth the fan-eth with luctretia, between me n claire we have the entire set to paint! it gonna take at least 2 days barring mistakes with the spackling, and i have to do the lighting design, i have some ideas but nothig concrete yet, i jus need to sit down for an hour or so and go through it but i dont seem to have the time! and we have to make the plaques, and the sign which has to be punched and shatter without hurting Oli's hand!!!
on a lighter note i've come up with a nice political spin for my directing piece, its from The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood so therefore its a very feminist piece, about powerlessness and the like, so im gonna find some symbol of Burma (Myanmar) and the plight of their leader Aung Sang Su Kyi.
awesome but :)

fantabulous new book

2007-01-20T16:10:00.000Z

yes yes i know its been a while, but iv had loads of work to do! although now iv finished it, 4 modules done! aaaarrrrrgggghhhh hehe. not i get to work my arse off on Lucretia Borgia for the next 3 weeks, but that will be fun i reckon if hard work, i shud really re-read the script at some point and make some notes lol, ill do it on the train home on tues nod. anyway the main reason for this post is cos i have a fantabulous new book by the author of all authors, oh she of the amazing writing skills Tamora Pierce (i like her a little bit :)) its called Beka Cooper: Terrier, and its set 200 years before the Lioness books are set, so thers all these wonderful bits of history i recognise from those books (which are my ultimate favourite books no question about that since iv read them about 20 times over the last 7 years) anyway its written in the style of a diary, Beka's diary of her first few weeks as a Puppy in the Provosts Dogs, BUT finally i get to the point, this diary entry really reminded me of someone i knows blog...

"Saturday April 11, 246

I hate pidgeons with nothing new.
I hate the Cesspool.
I hate festering, ranky, puling, gob-clogging, sarden colds.
I hate dragging my sorry sniffling hacking bum through duty.
I love my warm soft cat.
I have good friends who bring me things.
I love my bed."

sounds like my darling sister :) oh and teh cat she refers too is the previous incarnation of Faithful, Alanna's cat in the Lioness books, who dies at the end and a new constellation is seen by the foot of the constellation known as "The Goddess" which was called "The Cat" well in this previous incarnation of faithful he is called Pounce, a name Raoul suggests for him when he first appears in Alanna, and one of Bekas friends points out that he may not be an ordinary cat as one of the "wandering" constellations known as "The Cat" has been invisible in the sky for the last 4 years (since Beka got him) coincedence ;)

Lostprophets:- Can't Catch Tomorrow (Good Shoes Won't Save You This Time)

One, two,
One, two, three, four...

I'm sure I've seen this look before
Done a thousand times and a million more
How many lies did he tell this time?
How many times did he cross the line?
It won't help me but I have to ask
Is there something real that's behind the mask?
Something true we don't know about?
A little faith in amongst the doubt

And maybe someday you will grow
Maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end these tears and go

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
but I will stay the same
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
always steal and borrow
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

I'm sure I've played this scene before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I'm sure I used to hold your hand
Did I hurt you?
All this attitude with no history
All this anger when you're attacking me
Got a lot to learn and you need to know
That your time is up kid, let it go

Maybe someday you will grow
Maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end these tears and go

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
but I will stay the same
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
always steal and borrow
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

Never gonna catch tomorrow

A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
but I will stay the same
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
always steal and borrow
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
Never gonna catch tomorrow

yeah the haircut's hot
But this has gotta stop
Good shoes won't save you this time
I think you're gonna find
With everything combined
that the time's running out of this line

And I know you, (Know you, know you)
always steal and borrow
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN UNIVERSITY TOO LONG WHEN...

You actually like doing laundry at home where the washing
machines work.

Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.

You'd rather clean than study especially if an essay is due.

"Oh shit how did it get so late!" comes out of your mouth at
least once a night.

Parents' cooking becomes something you desire, not avoid.

You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas
especially neighbours and Hollyoaks.

You know the pizza boy by name and don't even need to read the
menu.

You go to sleep when it's light and get up when it's dark.

You live for getting mail.

Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.

Prank phone calls become funny again.

You start thinking and sounding like your friends and your
accent becomes a hybrid of West Country, Surrey and general
Northern.

Highlighters are the coolest things on earth.

Rearranging your room is your favourite pastime.

Rubbish cheap £1 shops are so cool.

The weekend lasts from Thursday to Monday.

BEFORE I CAME TO UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN...

That it didn't matter how late my first lecture was, I'd still sleep
through it.

That I could change so much and barely realize it.

That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.

No matter how 'cool' you were in school, no one here cares.

That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so
dressed up.

That every clock on campus shows a different time.

That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn't matter here.

That I would go to a party the night before an exam or essay
due-date.

That you can know everything and fail a test.

That you can know nothing and ace a test.

That I could get used to almost anything found out about my
friends.

That most of my education would be obtained outside of lectures.

That friendship is more than getting drunk together but that's
still funny......!

That Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.

That Psychology is really Biology, that Biology is really
Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics and that Physics is
really Maths.

That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few
years.

That it's possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by
friends.

Don't be dismayed at good-byes, a farewell is necessary before
we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a
lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.
TOP 10 REASONS THAT UNIVERSITY IS LIKE PRIMARY SCHOOL

10. You cry for your mother.
9. You cross the street without looking for cars.
8. Snack time is a necessity.
7. You bundle up for the outdoors without caring what you look
like (because everyone else looks as stupid as you do).
6. You stay at home and play games with your friends.
5. You wear your backpack on both shoulders.
4. You wear big mittens.
3. Playing in the snow is a legitimate activity.
2. You take naps.
1. You look forward to cheese toasties.

well terms almost over! i won't be sad to see this one go tho believe me lol

basically spent the week drinking and recovering from drinking Chiro party on weds was awesome wrecked by 8:30pm dressed as a cavegirl (again) don't really remember much other than pip giving the taxi driver lifestyle and health advice on the way back (we left early due to tiredness) but it was a lot of fun :)

then friday we went out for seans birthday (even tho its not til the 20th) and that wasa fun night with all the peeps i lived with last year, everything got a bit on top of me that day tho was having serious problems seeing any good in myself and the occurances of the term so obviously at the end of the night i got ancy at sean for not being with me all the time lol i'm jus annoyed with myself for makin people feel stupid cos i know too much random shit and for spending the entire term moaning about whatever terrible thing had happened to me in the last 24hrs! but i love my sean and i know he'll be there for me whatever however hard that is for me to believe (yes i know i'm insane but i'm absolutly petrified i'd do something to cause a rift between us even tho i'm pretty sure i never could) yeeeeeeeeech

then last night Sazzle, Pol n Lucy had a house party which was very awesome got to hang out with some cool people i hadn't met before (LOVE YOU TRISTAN) and basically rocked it up all night. went a bit mental at some randomer that wasn't invited to the party n was being a dick to pol n luce about them askin him to leave, apparently i was scary heh. then stayed over at Lukes as we had a lot of shit to sort out he doesn't want a relationship and i don't think i do either we jus needed to make that clear to eachother as i was finding it hard to be normal around him n he noticed lol. god i jus made myself sound like a psycho obsessive but i'm not! he's a good mate n nothing else nod.

ok i do sound like a psycho so i'm gonna stop now lol

xxxx

oh and the McFijan is back with his ex who apparently is short ginger n not overly attractive boooooo!

2006-12-04T11:08:00.000Z

well my sisters posted more than me in the last few weeks so i feel bad!

went home for the weekend which was cool altho my leaving did seem to spark a certain person into revealing how she thinks of me which was nice, well not nice it gave me a very unpleasant trainride home but im sure she thought about that before she did it. sigh. anyway went out with paulo n SarahG on friday night, and all the redstars pretty much turned up so that was fun :) even with the hour walk home so we could all be walked home lol, then i went to watch arsenal spurs with harley n co (padge louis kat austin n sam) which sucked cos spurs lost n since theyr all spurs fans it was gay for them luckily i support the infamous O's who only drew :) then off to see New Found Glory in the evening where i was not expecting to seee a Miss Laura Snowling resident of '420' charleston residence Lake Louise 04-05 she was jus stood infront of me with her boyfriend steve i offered her some camera advice and when she turned round i realised it was her! freaky eh? awesome but a little scary she's jus finished her 2nd season out ther n this time Steve was with her which must have been awesome as the first season they did this whole crazy long distance thing. any way NFG were amazingly amazing i think iv only seen them once before so it was almost like a first time! urrrrm padge failed to get a t-shirt for a 5ver which has never happend before so thats a new one, next day(sunday) i woke up i watched a film called The Sundowners with Deborah Kerr trying to be aussie n coming out south american/texan but it was good if a bit long. then i traveled back on a very very packed train altho a nice man actually carryed my suitcase off at cardiff for me! i mean AMAZING!!! that never happens rejoice that ther r nice people in the world still!!!
