my gift is my song, and this one's for you
Watched Moulin Rouge cuddled up with Duncan. Feeling suitably loved up which is always good. Stuff is good. Which is good. It was a day off today and working only in the afternoon tomorrow so it's all good stuff really. Bored so I'm doing this.
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-word answers seldom help anyone out.
FIRST NAME
Gary. Not Gareth. JUST GARY.
AGE
21, as of 28th July. And I was born in 1988
LOCATION
Coventry, right in the middle of England of course, on a council estate called Canley. Not the most glamarous place to live but I'll get over it. Originally from Telford in Shropshire which best translates as what is between Birmingham and Wales.
OCCUPATION
Sales Associate in TK Maxx. My job is actually quite good really. Customers are generally less retarded than when I worked at Argos and I'm really getting on well with my co-workers so hurrah.
PARTNER
Sir Duncan of Bevan. He is 28, a newly qualified teacher who teaches in a nursery school. We live together in his Dad's house, and in just over a week we'll have been together for an entire year :)
Me and Duncan
KIDS
No, but there is a woodlouse and a couple of pandas.
BROTHERS/SISTERS
Three entire sisters, which is too much for anyone to be honest. Sam(antha) is the oldest, at uh... twenty... six...ish. She is the only other one who escaped the nest and lives still in Telford with her other half Nigel and his kid Alisha. She does something which earns her a lot of money. I don't actually know what because she always changes jobs. It used to be carpet, then toilet paper, then tanks, but now I'm not sure. Kayleigh is a bit younger, either 23 or 24. She works in payroll for a company I know nothing about! She still lives at home, complains a lot, and likes food and booze. Stacey turned 18 this year, has recently passed her driving test, has had a string of boyfriends (currently 'Phil') and works in the George section of Asda.
Kayleigh, Stacey and Sam, from left to right.
PETS
Nope. Not at the moment anyway. I really want a cat and a dog.
LIST THE 3-5 BIGGEST THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE
1. My still relatively new job, going well
2. My upcoming anniversary with Duncan
3. My writing, especially my Nanowrimo novel which is the closest I've ever got to a whole book
4. My Bertie the woodlouse comic
5. My friends and all that we do together!
An example Bertie comic. The girl is called Alice :)
PARENTS
My mum is Kym who is somewhere in her mid fourties. My dad is Melvyn and will be turning 50 next year. They both work together for a long term friend in a small (but not tiny) car parts business. My mum is second in command where as my dad is just generic worker. My mum came from Portsmouth and my dad came from Coventry!
Mum and Dad!
FRIENDS
There are several main groups. There's my friends from University firstly. My best friend nowadays is probably Simon, but mainly because my old good friend, and housemate, lives in London now so our only conversations are via email. Then there's the likes of Becky, Pam, Katie, Tegan, Callum and many others. Then there's Duncan's gays. The main one here is Chris, who lives with us, but there are also the five lezzers, Collette, Sarah, Dee, Katie and Rach, and Chris's ex-husband Paul. On top of this there is Duncan's straights, which are his family (Mum Jackie, Dad James, Brother Alex, Nephew James, and sisters Hollie and Faye) plus lots of other random people who all know each other and would take too long to start listing.
So... yeah... that's it I guess.
Do, do, do, what to do?
