Sweet Relief
Eurrgghhhh....
why are there no proper queasy faces on this site? Hotmail has them. I've just had a seriously queasy half hour. You know that dreadful moment when the nausea makes you genuinely crave the end? Honestly, black nothingness would be better than nausea. But the relief that comes when you realise the Devil's Session is properly over is utterly life-affirming! I feel like skipping through daisies in the summer sunshine! But I can't cos it's 9pm in winter, it's lashing outside and my bed is far too comfy to be getting out of.
The weird thing is - and no one ever believes me - except for when I was a baby I assume, I have never vomited once in my life, ever. I swear. All my er... issues occur in what my grandmother used to refer to as the netherlands. Now that could mean one of three places but I'll let you link nausea to the correct part of the anatomy using common sense. This is a polite blog, and subject matter of this post is already distasteful and distinctly non-Christmassy. Actually, it is rather seasonal what with all that delicious stodgy food packing us all up - everyone stocked up on Rennies?!
Anyway, I'm all alone and now I'm lonely cos I've no one to give me a comforting hug, so I thought I'd just share my revolting bodily issues with the world!
Hope you're all having a nice lead up to Christmas.
Another Survey I Nicked Off Someone's Blog
This one is from Bloglikeit's blog again. He's good at providing these!
1. Do you own a box of crayons?
No but I have a box of coloured pencils.
2. Have you ever seen a dead body?
Yes.
3. Do you always wear a seatbelt?
Always, always, always. And I give out to the matriarch who puts it on AS she is driving down our road - and the point of that is? ![]()
4. When do you shower most often?
In the evenings my dahlings.
5. What songs do you sing in the shower?
I don't sing in the shower and I don't sing unless I'm positive no one can hear me! Not that they could anyway cos I sing as loudly as a mouse (do mice sing?)
6. Do you own any diamonds?
No and I honestly cannot understand the fascination with them.
7. What was the last thing you purchased?
Fried noodles last night, yum![]()
8. What makes you feel warm and safe?
Being wrapped up in bed and not having to get up for a long time.
9. How often do you remember your dreams?
Not that often and the memory is brief.
10. Did you go to public or private school?
I don't know which is which anymore cos they call private school public in Britain and it confuses me. We call it private school if you pay fees. And therefore everyone thinks I'm rich when they hear what school I went to and I am most certainly not. It irritates me cos my parents struggled and worked so hard to put me through secondary school. My primary school was comprehensive. (And yes there were logical reasons why I attended a private secondary school rather than a comprehensive, not due to snobbery! And quite frankly, I would probably have had just as good an education in a comprehensive if not better cos the teachers I had were quite literally useless. That makes it sounds like I'm saying comprehensive teachers are useless - I'm don't mean it that way!! Seriously though, my teachers were all eejits except for one
)
11. Will you donate your organs after you pass?
Yes, I believe so which reminds me that I must pick up an organ donor card. You know, in case I get knocked over by a bus. How frustrating if I was to be knocked down on my WAY to picking it up! And what would happen with your blog friends? Would they think you hated them, or would they realise you were dead? Happy Christmas everyone!!!!![]()
12. How do you vent your anger?
I don't, I bottle it all up and we all know what happens to earthquakes when they're overdue. Perhaps I should take up kickboxing before it explodes?!
13. What is your heritage?
Um, well nationality - Irish, and then family connections to Scotland and Wales, and possibly some connection with Portugal or Spain (in relation to our surname and after reading too much about research into the origin of Celts!), and France according to some amateur genealogical research!
14. What kind of watch do you wear?
I only wear it when going out of the house, but it's silver and clear frosted and rather pretty.
15. Did you ever go to camp?
I didn't see the word 'to' there and got confused. No I haven't gone to camp, and would have probably point blank refused being an anti-social little scamp.
16. Where were you on September 11, 2001?
Last year of school coming out of Games. I bounded up to some friends in a hyper manner then stopped dead when I saw the looks on their faces and heard an extremely serious conversation taking place about how a hijacked plane was heading towards the Pentagon. Actually, this was some misinformation they had heard somewhere because the plane had already hit the Pentagon. When I saw my mum I burst into tears because by that time there was hysterical talk around the school of this being the immediate beginning of World War 3 and 50,000 deaths in the Trade Centres. By the time I got home, I'm pretty sure the two towers had fallen but despite remembering almost every aspect of that day vividly, I honestly can't remember if they had fallen or not when I got home and if I saw it happen. I draw a complete blank on that. I remember mum buying chocolate for us and all of us sitting in front of the news the entire evening in the dark, and then lying in bed in the dark terrified because there was a helicopter flying over our house for ages.
17. Have you ever been to a gay bar?
No but I've heard some great stories of my friend's exploits in them!
18. What is your ringtone?
The Nokia ringtone I'm afraid because it was the least offensive choice and it is a fairly gentle version. And I like the original tune by Francisco Tárrega that it is taken from.

19. What kind of milk do you drink?
Low fat. Sometimes skimmed. And only when the whim takes me. I need to up my calcium![]()
20. Are you touchy-feely?
No not at all but I do go to the rents for a hug sometimes. And my cat is being quite accommodating to my head at the moment when I want a pillow. Despite being a grumpy wagon.
Oh My Goodness!! Very Naughty Flintstones!!!
PANIC PANIC PANIC HELP HELP HELP
Having trouble - anyone know anything helpful about the different styles of narrative in Jekyll and Hyde and how it affects one's interpretation of the novel? Total blank here, any thoughts whatsoever appreciated.
One Down....Zzzzzzzzzz
First exam over. Not helped by the fact that one of the tutors supervising said I didn't need my coat on but it turned out to be FREEZING, Arrogant Boy from my tutorial was sitting beside me and had BAD breath and an incessantly whistling nose, the girl in front kept flinging herself back in her seat knocking my sheet back off my desk constantly and giving me an eye lashing with her over-'messified' hair that she seemed so fond of tossing (a tosser one might say), the wind was literally screeching through the room rattling the blackboard at the front, and my body decided to start developing a cold that very hour.
But the exam itself did go a little better than expected. Hopefully passed anyway.
Another one tomorrow which haven't even had time to prepare for yet, so that's my day and night and small hours planned then!
And then I'm doing NOTHING tomorrow night because my brain is now the size of a raisin, and I don't even want to think about the two 3000 word essays due for Tuesday that I haven't even chosen questions from because of the OTHER essays I barely got handed in on time in the middle of studying for exams![]()
And I'm babysitting Saturday. And my friend's graduation is on Monday, but I'm going to have to give that a miss because quite frankly she wouldn't come to mine even if she had nothing on, and is one of those friends that likes to get what she's 'owed' whether that's texts or phonecalls etc. Which is not what friendship is about AND I went to her birthday dinner even though I had two essays due the next day so I think I've paid my dues enough to get away with skipping this
*Faints from stress*
On What Planet Is This Fat?
According to the ever knowledgeable media, this is now fat and unattractive, and according to one delightful male commenter 'unacceptable'. Opinions? And since you ask yes, I have indeed been procrastinating by getting outraged at sexist gossip sites.
