LiTTLe EmO KiDs

Very few of them are really truly emo, most are just posers who listen to Good Charlotte and My Chemical Romance when other people are around. The true ones do that and write crappy poetry about how their life sucks, how people don't understand them, how they don't understand themselves and how to get rid of their incessant pain.
So here's the little emo kid that lives with me, and yes, its pretty obvious we're blood relatives, but only barely because I refuse to wear a hat that looks like a white knitted shopping bag.
And yes, it is difficult being an older sister to a pretty girl. Lots of jealousy about dress sizes ensue. Also the nicking of accessories, tops and each other's patience. But you gotta love em.
And by the way, her name's Celeste.
aNd if she happens to find out I posted her pic on my blog I' m dead.....or at least missing a vital organ.

"aaand they're off!" Well in this case its strands of hair and a bit of conservatism that got the snip. At the end of this post you'll see the before and after pics, feel free to comment, laugh, point, throw up, whatever the immediate inclination to these pics may be :P

Today was fairly uneventful. I worked double shift yesterday, putting me out at pasture for a good 12 hours non stop.Some vanilla coke and a fair amount of pain pills later, I was passed out like a corpse. At least I came home with quite a mound of moola, which I promptly almost completely spent this morning. Maintenance is a bitch.
And the guy from work finally sms'ed (or texted) me for christmas, I feel sorta bad cos I havent replied yet and he probably thinks he sent the message to some bearded guy living in a trailer ,whose name contains a hyphen.

It seems Soffy is having some guy trouble. But the only trouble im aware of is that I constantly nagged her to come out with us at uni (to which she always said she was going to have an "early night".....yes really. ) and suddenly she's queen bee and lining them up so quickly that I can't keep track. :P But its all good, at least a one of us is getting some.

So apart from all of that drivvle up there there's not much news. But I will keep you posted on my menialities as we go along. much love and be good at least until the new year starts, after which I condone all things wild and random.

*Christmas Cogs*

Hey all , hope youre having a fabulous Christmas so far (only a few more hours before it ends anyway). I worked today and it was a bit too quiet to my taste, but I still made a perfectly decent amount. We had a huge buffet going ,with things like mussels wrapped in bacon, 3 different meats, veggies, snails, calamari, crumbed button-mushrooms etc. So I practically worked for 2 hours and spent 4 hours sitting around on the balcony, staring at the sea view and musing about a newly acquired voice message ;)

And that, methinks, is not such a bad christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone! May you have a prosperous and happy year and may all your dreams be realised.
Love, Me

What is there to say?

1) Im really , really bad at maths.

2) I have a irrational fear of talking dolls (chucky, saw 2 etc etc)

3) Im pretty good at cooking although no one believes me.

4) I once dreamt I was stranded in the Sahara and ended up sleep-crawling about my room for about half and hour before I woke up.

5) Nothing upsets me more than animal abuse.

Now think carefully about this : Do you really just follow your heart or do you subconsciously "approve" of someone before you let yourself fall in love? (or in lust or in liking, whatever)
Come on! comment! wash your dirty laundry in the blogosphere!

Laetitia Casta , she was in the Asterix and Obelix movie (I bet I could have come up with something better, but hey, I can admit to watching cartoon-movies!)

Liv Tyler :)
Claire Danes who I think was the perfect Juliet and who plays a ballerina in some movie with Joaquin Phoenix but for the love of me I can't remember the title of the movie.




Catherine Zeta Jones, despite her fondness of old saggy men, she's still hot and in my opinion the epitome of sophistication meeting mystery.












Scarlet Johannson. Simply because she's not perfect and a brilliant actress who isnt a Barbie incarnate. Very cool girl...



















Natalie Portman. Rather more the intelligent, marrying kind than the one night fling (and this I gather from a reputable student magazine who polled a bunch of blokes.) Julia Roberts without the mouth that can swallow a family of 5.






















Keira Knightley cos she's fun, ridiculously pretty and she has a wicked sense of humour. AAAANd a very good actress....obviously.

Alfred Molina. Mostly known as Doc Oc, but he's so brilliant in acting that chances are youve seen him, but don't recognise him. He's also the psychologist in Identity and the mayor in Chocolat. Oh and Diego Riviera in Frida.
What have we here!? A blonde/ginger amongst the darker studs? Mr Bettany is quite hot isnt he....and in my opinion he's going to wipe the floor with Hugh "Im such a stuttering Englishman" Grant. Psh. Go Paul!
Robert Downey jr. So the man has a few substance problems, but that doesnt stop him from being sexy. Well....at least not when he's al coked up. Does anyone remember a early 90's movie called Heart and Souls??......
Alan Rickman. Sure he's a bit over my age bracket but he's a brilliant actor and has something captivating about him. Had a crush on him for ages....
Dermot Mulroney - watch Wedding Date, lotsa eyecandy for both genders and its actually not the normal romcom fare...its fun. I promise. And its definately fun watching this guy. You can feel yourself turn to mush inside ;)

Jason Statham. As seen in Guy Ritchie movies. The voice is really good, especially the way he says "Tommy." Poor idiot Tommy....
Ewan McGregor. Need I say more. Top dog :)

This is Adam Garcia, Australian dancer-wunderkind and not a very bad actor at all. Face it. We all fell in love with him in Coyote Ugly. And then some more in Riding in Cars with Boys.

Dominic Monaghan, also known as Merry the Hobbit. Maybe this appeals to my semi-punk side?

Yes that song is ridiculously catchy isnt it? I can't wait to get onto a dancefloor ...going to have to take a few painkillers that night :P
Anyway, hope all of you have been taking your vitamins :) Worked today, no nite shift thank goodness, otherwise i would have been spent like a cheap sweet wrapper.
As Mr Murphy's Laws and Ms Irony would have it, today I looked windswept, with my glasses and generally not looking my best, when a huge table of 13 perfectly good looking guys walked in all between the ages of 19-21.
As if that isnt enough, two brothers, Marc and Grant joined our little group, Marc being light of complexion and blue eyes and his brother the exact opposite. Catering to both tastes ? hahaha
And then there's Marika's brother who's the same age as me, but has smouldering poet-ish good looks, not very unlike Mr Iglesias jr.... just when you thought work was getting boring fate slaps you with a bunch of eyecandy :P
But all this being said I can also add that I have certain international interests so this little turn of event wouldnt influence me as much as it may have done in the past.

So to prevent this whole post from being about males, Im sort of wondering out loud how's it going with Soffy (!) who must mail me if she reads this! And if you wondered, Willow's been in a scooter accident a while back, luckily she's fine now except for a few bruises. Otherwise she's good, I don't get to see her alot now, but as soon as both of us step out of the job market and start to count our chickens, we're going on an excursion to Plett and just hang out with our other friends, Meg and Leah.
Yah. Maybe I'll update this post when something actually happens .....

Well seeing as I have the whole day off and not much planned except (a) trying to design the most incredible Sims 2 house ever conceptualised and (b) consuming too much coffee than is good for my health.
Ive also recently discovered the gem that is the Travel channel (click to see more) , if you have satelite, do yourself a favour and stay glued to it....I watched an interesting program on N.I and Wales the other day, they were exploring the area around Eniskillin or someplace and they went and had some guinness with the locals etc etc. Its amazing how lush those parts are. And how senile old people are :P
A conversation that took place :

Charlie (the presenter) : " So what kind of whiskey do you put in your irish coffee?"
Old man : "Its just coffee, sugar and whiskey."
Charlie : " Yes, but which type of whiskey?"
Old man: " Irish whiskey."
:D

Last nite's work was a long shot better than the previous nite, where I made a balls up and the manager (not Jaco, this was another guy) humiliated me in front of everyone by saying that its a stupid mistake to make and everyone is supposed to know how to do this. But thinking about it now, its not so much that I got upset because of the embarrassment or anything, its more that he reminds me very strongly of my ex (in looks and demeanor) and he used to do the exact same thing. So maybe it was more bewilderment and anger than feeling stupid.
I dunno :(
Anyway!!!

Did you know there's a huge lottery scam going around? Bloody Nigerians again. They send you an email that says that you have won The UK National Lottery (lol) and that youre entitled to something absurd like 9 million pounds. You just have to pay the courier fees of 500 pounds. Riiiiight. But if you read the email carefully you can smell a skunk a mile away. Like dozens of spelling and grammar errors. And Natwest bank having a msn account? I dont think so!!!
Hope youre all well :)

Hey all, sorry for not updating this whole week (was it??) (time flies when youre serving people).
Im really going to try and make a conscious effort to keep things posted here :)
Anyway, there's so much to catch up on that I am going to try and squeeze it in here....
First off, customers with attitude.
Now being the friendly person that I am in real life, I like to give people the best service possible , and that includes putting on a happy front even if you want to bend over the patron and say "I dearly hope you get constipation from this food."
So sunday this couple comes in with their two little boys,and one of my friends asks them whether they want to be seated in smoking or non smoking. At the same time, the one boy asks her where he can put his trash. The woman suddenly cut her off with "Can you hear my son is talking to you?"
I think we can all agree that its basic manners to let grown ups talk without you butting in and making a general nuisance of yourself...
Anyway, as luck would have it , I have the table and the women promptly props her feet on the opposite chair and demands to know whether we have strawberry diaquiris. As its on the cocktail menu I told her I'll go see and poutily she yells after me "yeah , you go do that!"
This woman gave so much attitude that I almost burst out laughing......you just want to make her bend down and spank her with a bloody ping pong racket because she's being like a petulant child.
The man's hair grossed me out so much....he dyed it blonde but its growing out so now there are these tight curls which are half grey half blonde. Did I mention they're American? Don't go thinking Im implying anything here, Im merely stating their nationality, Im sure you get your gross people in every country :P

Just to add to the whole spectacle, the kids order rice with their food and miraculously it gets spread all over the restaurant with the absolute minimum actually being consumed. !!!!!

Moral of the story : NEVER give kids rice. Ever
