(no subject)
LOLZ, my house is on the front of the paper.
Who Mr. 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' is, there, I don't know. He doesn't even bloody live here.
It's become so commonplace to wake up and find everything's under several feet of water I appear to have forgotten to even mention the flood the other day. Oh well. I'll get me snorkel.
Some woman was supposed to view the house at stupid o'clock this morning (obviously the moat's gone now), but didn't turn up. HOW RUDE TIMES TWO.
In other news, Bobbeh2's back on stage again! Hurrah. I can reccommend Whipping It Up (*trurns off smut alarm*) again seeming as it was sold out last time.
Speaking of Bobbeh2, his latest dream appearance involved him being on some Time Team style programme, involving archeology or something, I don't know. Apparently he failed (how do you fail there? "Oh, I didn't find anything. Not a sniff.") but Emma Thompson was on after him and she didn't and he got rather competitive about it in the interview afterwards like it really *mattered*. Bless. Welcome to my head, ladies and gentlemen.
And lo, I was tagged by
mysticheaven, so here comes some random memeage:
Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little-known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little-known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.
1) I can't say 'jewellery'. I've tried so many times, I really have. 'Jury' is about as close as I usually get, which makes for interesting conversations. Which is strange given that it's Rs and Ms I have trouble with (the observant among you will realise my name is full of those, oh the iron-on-irony). And yet I can roll my Rs. Is this still point one?
2) My navigational skills are really bad. I'm surprised I can find my way out of the house in the morning. Having said that, I clearly can't remember where my bedroom walls are yet if I'm going to walk into them.
3) My first lady crush involved Fuzzbox. That late 80s girl band from Birmingham who started off punk and then went rather more commercial and I'd be against this if it wasn't for the fact I was a fan *after* their punk days. Anyway. I was completely obsessed with Maggie, the blonde bass player, and Tina the drummer. Have a look at Pink Sunshine, but heed a pink/balloons/matching outfits/nerd stereotypes warning. And if you can handle that, prepare yourself for International Rescue, it's got Ade Edmondson!
4) I absolutely loathed the colour pink as a kid. I'd refuse to wear anything that was far too pink for my liking. Tell anyone this now and they won't believe it because 97% of my belongings are pink. Seven years ago I had pink hair to match. I don't know when I actually gave in.
5) I also had an aversion to underwear but you don't need to know this.
6) I find cigarette smoke strangely comforting, to the point of often craving one under pressure. And yet I've never smoked, my parents can't abide the stuff, and I haven't grown up with anyone smoking. And where my cigarette fetish ever came from is the eighth mystery of the world.
7) The following nearly always guarantees a giggle and I have no reason why: The opening bars of Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On, Brian Blessed's voice, the word 'wibble', and the film dub round on Whose Line is it Anyway.
8) Honestly, people who find out you've got a film degree and then look surprised when you tell them your favourite film is Beetlejuice. I think they were expecting Gone With the Wind or Citizen Kane or something. But I love everything about that film. Won an Oscar, y'know.
9) Top 5 songs ever? Quite possibly Radiohead's Creep, U2's One, Aztec Camera's Somewhere In My Heart, Fuzzbox's Pink Sunshine, and Visage's Fade to Grey.
Subject to change, as ever.
10) Like Ehma, I have great difficulty parting with stuff. Because I seem to ascribe a personality to everything, even inanimate objects, and I feel sorry for them having to throw the bloody things away because they've lost their purpose or something. I can get it down to an apologetic look as it hits the bottom of the bin, but sheesh. Beckeh, your toothbrushes are not alive.
Hmm, let's see. Randomly tiggy tag tag:
dracothelizard,
fayzalmoonbeam,
melusinesara,
lady_draco,
luvsrimmer,
madam_weasel,
miss_lancing,
muffin_nuffin,
rickman_101,
xylona
but you can all do it if you like. As it were.
And I'm spent.
