We're approaching a period which I loathe with a passion. It comes around every 4 years and every time I hate it more and more. It's the World Cup.
Now, I can't stand football, but that in itself doesn't bother me - it can exist in a world parallel to mine and never really bother me (apart from on those occasions when I go to... Read More
For the first time in my life, I totally agree with you!! The shock is all mine!!
Up until a couple of years ago I went to Wembley on a regular basis to support England and was always one of those people who avidly watched and booked my work schedule around games etc. etc. I was also a smoker who went on too many fag breaks at work.
I am not that person anymore you'll be pleased to know
I hope we both manage to get through it as easily and quickly as possible!! xx
I was watching Worried About The Boy last night - a tv drama about the early years of Boy George and the whole Blitz Club/New Romantic scene. It was a great evocation of the period, and really captured the colour and originality of the time. I always wished I'd been to the Blitz, with all its characters and excitement, although I suspect Steve Strange would... Read More
Okay, so I know the Oscars are cheesey as hell (if Hell could be described as cheesey) but I couldn't fail to be a bit touched by the tribute to John Hughes. Partly this was because seeing Matthew Broderick, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and of course the divine Molly Ringwald as they are now couldn't help but make me realise how I would look...

It's been a while, I know. And I know I say this every time, but I do hope to come here more often and communicate with all my lovely friends, but somehow it never quite happens that way. Still, I'm here now. I guess I've been busy. Had a flying visit to London a couple of weeks ago - did a bit of shopping, went... Read More
Bloody hell, it's cold here. I live in an old house, which has character and charm. It's also impossible to heat properly at the best of times - and snow on the ground for the last few weeks, it's a long way from being the best of times. Also, my other half's away at the moment, so the bed feels big and cold. As such... Read More
So 2010. Are we saying Two Thousand and Ten or Twenty 10? I don't know. Can't really get my head around the whole new decade thing. The last one went by far too quickly, which is by turns alarming and depressing.
Still, onward and upward. Here's wishing everyone a happy new year.
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid ...
Well, I'll the the judge of that.
I've always had an ambiguous relationship with Christmas - being the product of divorced parents there was always a lot of guilt hanging over who I spent the season with as a child and that hasn't changed now I'm all grown up.
That said, I'm an old sentimentalist... Read More
I decided yesterday that I officially hate my job, Now, I work in the theatre, so let's face it, it's not going down a mine or something, so I shouldn't really complain. But in terms of job satisfaction at the moment its terrible. My boss is becoming uber-controlling in everything and, instead of doing the job a chief exec should be doing keeps wanting to...

Well, I spent last week performing in a show - I love acting, and singing, and even a bit of dancing. It takes me to a place I seldom get to in life. I'm not an exhibitionist, in fact I'm quite shy, but I love to play a role, to immerse myself in a part - maybe to escape. I guess that's also a little... Read More
I know exactly what you mean about this site and how you can be who you want to be. I am always completely honest on this site and open about my thoughts and feelings, which is something I am unable to do elsewhere. This is often my place of sanctuary and I love it. I too have been out of sorts with the place of late, but I hope that will change with me very soon.
It'd also be good to see you around these parts more often too! xx
I've yet to be able to open up here as much as others are able to do - I wish I could, but there's a part of me that's just a bit British and stiff-upper-lip to give too much away. Still, little by little, I'm becoming more trusting and allowing my friends a bit more of a glimpse into my world. One day, who knows, the floodgates will open and it'll all pour out! Beware!
I realise this blog must read like a list of ailments, but what the hecki - I'm ill again. Definitely flu this time. Spending the day reading a lot and catching up on DVDs though, so every cloud ... Would trade all that to feel better though ...
Feeling distinctly off-colour today? Could it be the start of swine flu? Or something other. I'm feeling wobbly and weird, with a slight headache - can't really put my finger on it really. Maybe I'm just tired - it's been a busy week.
