Reasons why it R.O.C.K.S to be Single..

Soo.
As you properly know the long relationship of the man I thought I would marry has ended. No sign of us getting back together.. *I know, he was good, but still..Don't think it be the best idea for Either of us. At all.*

Anyway, I have been dragged to so many "Friends Dates" that even though my heart is full with their love, my bank account is empty. Reminds me of the song by The Holloways..Happiness and Penniness. Oh and maybe Generator mashed in the mix as well.

Oh No,
Now my last penny has been spent
Still my life is heaven sent
Cause i got my friends
To help me through this time
I'll repay you in the end
Don't you worry
I promise you I'll pay you back with Time

It has not been all bad being single. In fact I can think of some good reasons why I am better off:

-I can flirt with other people without feeling bad..(I AM A FLIRT. THAT IS WHO I AM.DEAL WITH IT OR LEAVE MY AWESOME PRESENCE NOW!)
-I can accept people buying me drinking in the clubs
-Spend way more time (and money) on mates
-I can have a lot more time to do things I want
-I will not be criticised for wanting to spend all day in bed while the sun is shining in all it's glory
-I can move in with girlie mates!
-I can go off to Scotland to finish off my Nursing training without thinking.."Nooo, Lover is in London..How will I cope?!!"
-I will not have to listen to stories about car, bad puns, unfunny jokes and house music.
-I can find some one who *actually* into the same things I am into, rather then have to grin and bear it.
-I can eat meat without feeling like I will be punished by not being kissed.
-I can kiss girls WITHOUT having to cheat to do so ;p
-I can sing outloud without people telling me to shut up. (Am I that bad...?)
-I don't have to put on an act in front of his sister or feel like crap in front of his Father.
-I can finally drop the act that running is a good idea. It is not.It never is. Not even running for the bus.
-I can be with those that understand the greatness of Scrubs
-Dirty dancing man.
-I can stop hiding aspects ofmy life that was not *really* accepted or wanted and concentrate on being complety myself with those that like me for me-


Anyway, the list could go on, but I will spare you the boredom and just back the many friend dates I had instead. K..?

:)

-Thanks to everyone that helped me get my smileback.You know who you are. You guys rocks my world!-

Fuck My life!

After having a less then happy phonecall, Iwas delighted to have stumbled across this marvallous website:

Fuck my life

I thought that I would share with you a few of my favourites that made me feel slightly better..


Today, I sneezed so hard I herniated my back. After passing out from the pain I awoke on the floor covered in my own shit and piss. Unable to move, I had to wait in this state for four hours for my wife to return home from work, clean me up and take me to the hospital. FML

Today, I slept with this new guy for the first time. After sex, he said the doggie style postion was fun, it reminded him what it would be like to rape a girl. FML

Today, my boyfriend handcuffed me to the bed, naked. Someone pulled the fire alarm, and my boyfriend couldn't find the key. So he left me, and the Resident Advisor found me. The fireman had to cut the chain. FML

Today, my old man told me that he only married my mom because she convinced him she was pregnant with his child. In fact, she aborted a week later. "And then we had you instead." FML

My girlfriend gave me a blow-up doll and told me to practice. FML

I walked to class in the rain after a long night of reading all 1200 pages of War & Peace in one sitting trying to cram for an in class essay, when I arrived nobody was there. I check the master postings of finals and look to see that my final was actually yesterday at 7 am. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to talk about my depression and low self-esteem. He told me that I shouldn't think of myself as a fat pig for being overweight. I don't think that and I'm NOT overweight. FML

Today, I logged onto facebook to realize that my boyfriend is now listed as single. News to me. FML

Today, I logged onto facebook to realize that my boyfriend is now listed as single. News to me. FML

Me and my family watched the video of my birth. In the video, when my mother sees me for the first time, she says "God he's ugly!" FML

Today, I sang at a retirement home with my school choir. Afterward we went to speak to the old people, just to get to know them a little. The first woman I shake hands with ask "Are you a boy or a girl?" FML

Today, my company hired a new guy to help on our project. My boss said that he would shadow me for the whole day so he could learn our system. At the end of the day my boss fired me, handed my company car keys and laptop to my "shadow for the day" right in front of me. My Mom picked me up. FML

Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML

Today, I was having sex with my boyfriend. When he was about to orgasm, he screamed "Yes Brittany!" at the top of his lungs. My name's not Brittany. That's his sister. FML

Today, my inebriated boyfriend and I were having sex. He rolls off of me without finishing, and says, "i'm bored." FML

Anyway, they may me feel slightly better. Bah, poor people ><yy th

So my day was spent feeling Sorry for myself

It was a bad start to the Weekend. Far from going to Smi's to have a fantastic time studying and having a sleepover, I spent the day in bed feeling sorry for myself.
I AM ILL!
No, I am not a dumper or a dumpee. After much talking, John and I managed to argee to continue dating. I actually thought my heart was going to explode if we parted.

-I am not naive to say I would not survive and die of a broken heart, but it would have been very hard to shake away the pain and move on-

Anyway, I spent the whole day in bed. I was tired, and had aches everywhere. I just couldn't face going out to face the world with a smile..

Anyway, I decided to not be *So* Emo and write a happy list of why being in a relationship with John Rocks:

-The Compliments that he gives me

-The kisses and *love*

-The shared Smiles
-The hugs
-The mini Adventures


-The dates.
-The fact he buys me mini presnts just to say he was thinking of me..
-The way he shakes his head in confusion when I talk.
-His car and the fact he drives me (Well..His sister's car now)

-The way he told me a million times he is going to give me breakfast in bed when we move in
-The arguments over whose music/taste/clothes is better-Admit it, I look goodio :P


-The fact there's a best friend I can always ask for help (if not he is easier to bribe)
-The fact you have an Agony aunt
-The massageS
-The Injokes


-The way he picked me up from hospital when I was really ill..and still thought I was cute even when I was puking up on the pavement


-The Picnics and resturant trips.

-He is scared of saying "I love you" to not give me the wrong impression, as he is not sure of his feelings
-When he does the above stuff and a hell of a lot more
-Did I mention the Kisses..?

Anyway, besides being in bed, I was also re reading blogs of the past. Truly, Vanessa has some good posts in 2007. Rosie also blogged about events I forgot. Fun times. The other thing that kept me busy was watching Digimon.
My my. If ever they was an Anime series that was bad enough to turn me off Manga in general- That was it.

Pixs of the best ones..I love you guys..You know who you are..:P

I know..I treat you well! Enjoy.

Love you. You know who you are..

FREEBIE SITES-Yes I was quite generous, I know!

So I decided to stalk up all the free events and Freebies on line..
Yes being ill does have it's adventages-Time spent trailing after links promising free stuff for one. It is goodio anyway huh..?

Money Advice of how to stretch the pennies:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/freebies-gold

Stockpot, Chelsea rules my stomach..

Stockpot is a resturant in Chelsea. It is also the place where you are most likely to find me and/or my Mum. As you can imagine, I like it a lot.




The food is mainly Italian, though also has beef, fish, Sandwiches and English breakfast. Good "Set menus" and Specials that change daily.

Why am I obsessed by S.P..?
-The food is good value for money


-The Staff know me and mum so well, they talk us and give us our drinksas soon as we are seated (As they never change..)
-It is a cozy resturant that is quite small, making it more relexing.
-The food is freshly cooked, unlike some places thst have the food in precooked dishes similar to microwave food.



-It has good memories for me..
-They have a real fireplace..


-The music is not that bad..


Anyway,Sorry to Ramble on..I like Lists a lot that's why..:P

So what are your Resolutions then..?

Okie, Confession..
Every year I feel the need to make a list of Resolutions on this day..Most of the time I manage to keep them, but they hound me for the rest of the year when I know I cannot keep them..
Hmm..Here are 3 simple ones though:

1. To try and blog weekly
2. To have mini adventures
3. To finish my Student life with a Nursing Job at the end..

Hopefully even I can manage them..but we will see...

What are yours..?

Introduction of main Characters of my life..

Okie, as this is a brand new Blog I thought I would take time out to explain about the People I am writing about and how they all fit together in my life.. If you are anything like me you would hate thinking.."Who the hell is this guy..? Where did these people come in..? What the hell is she writing about..? *Panic*... Anyway here are the Main Circles I hang in and the bright characters that make my life so..Well..Bright! (THIS IS BY NO MEANS EVERYONE..JUST THOSE WHO MADE THE MOST IMPACT OVER THE YEARSAND CONTINUE TO DO SO!)
The Boyfriend:
My boyfriend is called John. He is obsessed with the website twitter, loves Unicycling and kidnaps me away to have mini adventues whenever he can. He also dresses like an extra from Emmerdale Farm on occasions..I do love him though..
The Old School friends...
Rosie Rosie is a girl I knew since I was 3. We went to the same primary and Secondary School. Though she lives far from me,we catch up a lot on MSN. Indie Music, gossiping and stalking people on the net are main hobbies of hers and she is currently dating a guy called Charlie. Her Blog is here!


Harry Harold I knew since I was 3 or 4-again from primary School. He lives in my neighbour hood and is a workaholic..(Holds two jobs and goes to Uni!). He is too trendy for words with a much better fashion sense then me. He also hates animals and goes to the gym a lot

Kyle Kyle and I meet in secondary school,but since leaving sixth Form we rarely get the chance to hang out. He is also very trendy, makes sarcastic remarks and is in tune with the world of celebs in a way I can never be..


Vanessa Vanessa is a smart woman who now went home to Malaysia. She is studying to be a doctor, is able to drive and has a sweet dog called Toffee. Also able to play the Piano which I am Jealous of..And hold a tune. -Sigh- Basically she is smart, very pretty and talented. And not a bitch about it!

Daniel S (AKA Valient). This is a guy I met in Sixth Form. Dan is too smart for his own good, a talented artist and obsessed with Games. He lives in Bath, which is good for me as I get to visit him there. ^_^
Chris Duffin What to say about Chris..? He is an Irish guy that moved there when we were 13. He was my first "Puppy love" (I can admit it finally after years of trying to hide it) who is, beyond the Sarcasm is actually a sweet guy. Has bad jokes though. Be warned :P





Lora H Lora is a self confessed geek that loves reading,D n D and doing webcomics- as well as writing
.She lives in America *boo*, though wants to come to London soon. Dates a tall guy called John.

The Uni Lot

Belinda Belinda is my rock at Uni as she is stable and sensible about things work related,while I try to fill her days with weird stories and/or mini adventures. Needless to say we get on get! Indie music, a love of Camden and being confused by Kingston are a few of the things we share..


Sarah Sarah has cool eyes and says"Oh my Dayssss Catherine!" a lot. She is constantly laughing and does not drink at all. She also rides a scooter on occasions. I love her for that.



Aster Aster is also a non drinker who always seems to have a confused look in my presence. She is very sweet though. Hiding a strong woman inside her tiny frame though..Seriously!

Smi Smi is from Nepal. She loves Chocolate, drinking and family events..She has a passion for shopping as well. Hates nursing and wants to be an Accountant instead. My aim is to show her what a mistake that will be..
Gina A feisty lady who I respect (and fear) more then I care to admit..She likes being single and is furiously proud of being a woman. A good dancer to.

. Nana Stubborn and proud, Nana is hiding A professional hairdresser inside. Wears glasses, nice tops and is the best girl I have seen in Paint balling...

Shane This man is reliable, gentlemanly and self reflects a lot. Does Mental Health Nursing and secretly adores the musical Wicked. Can fight well in Tai kwon Do. Has a habit of taking things too seriously sometimes. This is his blog.

Natasha: Yet another cool woman. Into the every music that is opposite to my taste, makeup and has a sweet 9 year old daughter. Very smart, though can be lazy when it comes to studying.Good to have an adventure or two:



Verconia: This lady left in the second year, but was close to Dolly. She is the ideal Sloane Ranger, with good fashion and a quiet voice. Secretly loves shots though..



Dolly: A sweet girl with pretty hair that I love. Had to entice to be bad, but it fun to try to make her so...


Random Friends
Claude I met this crazy french girl about 2 years ago. People think we are sisters. She is loud, has a strong punch, and loves KOKO. She also loves white wine and a good kiss.

Anna I met this lady through Claude. As well as loving random bands (like Audio Bully), Anna likes teaching English to others and going back to Poland and seeing gigs.
Tom (aka TJ) Tom is a big weeaboo, a nice kisser and a nicer person. He is shy around girls, Love drum and bass and going to Weatherspoons. Oh and doing random dares. And rocking out to Alkaline Trio.

. Hayley She lives in SouthEnd, goes to SunRooms and loves any phrase that has the word "Mental". I am secretly jealous of her looks, and the fact she is lovely makes it hard to bear.
Tom, Hayley and Rosie go to the same Uni.. Darren Darren is a guy I meet, while working in a company called Creative Events. He is a softly spoken, mini adventure seeking guy that is desperate to live closer to London.
Dan aka Blondie Dan is an Indie lover who has no posters in his room, lives in Surrey and cooks well. He also likes Indie and who also tells me to do things when I am drunk that makes me look silly. Like bite people..
Ant Draper This guy is the orginal Indie god. He has cool hair, knows bands before they are mainstream and has an unhealthy love to the band "The Holloways". He also has a deep voice for a guy.The deepest I know to be honest..

Riaz Is a guy that disappers and reappers in my life. First entered in Sixth Form. Currently in King's having a midlife Crisis as he hates his course. Goes travelling a lot and likes to Ski


Cassie. Know her through John. She was in the year above me in Uni. Loves handbags, Geography and driving her new (ish) car. Lives ages away now. Sad times.

La Rebla Fam (LRF)
OK, It is a bit mean putting 6 mates under one label..But the band is good..Met Ben Stratford agess ago and when he joined LRF he introduced me to Anton, Simon, Donny, Rob and Sounds. Ace guys and the songs are passable to..See for yourself..






The Acton Lot!
Ben Ward Guy I met in Sixth Form. It was through him I met the rest of the the "Gang". He is sweet, has an impressive number of tattoos (best ones is the one on his bum), and likes gangsta films.
Jason, Joe, Days and Eliso They used to have a band called "Before I forget". Don't have a chance to speak to them often, but late night convos on MSN make me feel a little close to them..



The dogs:
My mum walks Neighbour's Dogs. Fred and Frankie. Here is a picture of them..

Frankie
