New entry needed! Well, this weekend has been varied and interesting. Currebtly tired and working on a history essay. Due in tomorrow and I completely forgot! 
Luckily this first part of my course is almost over and then I move on to Sociology. Oooh, exciting. Strangely I'm not being sarcastic. I actually quite enjoy that part of my studies as it does very roughly equate to my job.
Went to a gallery in London yesterday with the lovely blackwell to see an exhibition of Larry Clark's photography work. I completely missed where the gallery was and ended up in Berkely Square druelling at the designer shop windows. Such beautiful clothes.
But no money. 
Found the gallery, middle of writing a text to say 'ooh it looks posh in here, I'm scared, where are you?' when blackwell appears. Such a sweetie! With my usual ability to ramble about a variety of subjects. Although I was on my best behaviour yesterday. Apparently I came across as very focused and together. 
See Mum? I have grown up eventually! I can act like an adult. When it's called for of course. 
The exhibition was interesting but a bit of a let down at the same time. Photo's were amzing but barely any of them were titled. I like good photography but I like a little clue into what's going on. Fair enough, a pregnant woman shooting up doesn't really need an introduction but still. Would've been nice. Ah well, a gifted man but not enough work up. It was a quick perusal. Then on to a pub and then on to somewhere eklse for lunch. Beautiful food even though it was a chain place. blackwell's company exceeded expectation and was great fun. I had an uber cool day! Thanks honey!
So, what's up in SG land today then? Think of me writing this essay getting more listless by the minute.

Think of me writing this essay getting more listless by the minute.
Right, only recently did a journal update listing my upset and pain and then got tagged by blackwell Guessing nobody likes hearing me whine! 
Here goes:
1. As *nsync would say, "God must have spent a little more time on you." What, exactly, did God spend more time on?
God spent a whole lotta time doing a whole lotta stuff. I'm just perfect! lol! Nah, I would say my eyes. A heck of a lot of colour going on in such a small space.
2. If you had to start your own war against something, what would it be and why? Also, what would the protestors do in protest, to show they think your war is evil?
My war would be on girls wearing mini skirts and boob tubes here in the winter. Especially if they've got legs which are almost blue from the cold. My army of protestors and I would have a stand off wearing thick woolly jumpers, jeans and boots against scantily clad beer belly girls. We'd all bitch slap each other and those against me would call me a sensible shoe wearing dyke whilst I'd chant slags!
3. In the movie of your life, who would play you and who would play your lover?
Drew Barrymore would play me and Ian Watkins would play my lover, 'cos he is!

6. If girls had penises and boys had vaginas, who would you date/fuck?
If girls had penises their breasts would still get in the way.
7. Have you ever farted in public? if so, what were the circumstances?
I farted in HMV one afternoon after a particularly bad curry the night before. Walked down a couple more aisles with the smell still following me and looked around at one timid looking little man and shook my head, tut tutting to the person next to me.
8. Tell one crazy "I can't believe how drunk I was" story.
First night out drinking with 'grown ups' when I was sixteen. Decided I was invincible. Drank four pints of cider, six glasses of red wine and coke, two white wine and lemonade, eight shots of peach schnapps. Passed out whilst laughing and puked everywhere. All over me, my boyfriend, a bed, the patio and most of the guests, flashed my knickers and puked all over the car on the way home. Needless to say I didnt make a good impression and wasn't invited to any more such house parties.
9. Ideal Christmas stocking?
A black one with a seam up the back.
10. Who is Britney Spears' soul mate?
Bungle the bear

So, a good friend of mine is off to Whistler, Canada tomorrow. Had a little leaving gathering last night at the usual gathering place in Reading. Was really good seeing everyone as I don't get to go over there as often as I would like. What with college and work and such it's been a bit tough to stay in touch. But I will try harder this year! 
He's going for about three and a half months or so. Unless he gets a sponsorship. Then he'll be staying out there for as long as he can. I hope he gets a sponsorship but at the same time don't want him to be gone so long. Don't know how his girlfriend copes as he flits off every year for a month or three. But he's apparently getting pretty good on a board. So, if anyone knows of anyone who is involved in snowboarding sponsorships?! I can give you his details! Oh yeah, pics of the evening in my pics album. Taken with my spiffy new digital camera! No more blurry pictures, just lots of people with red eyes as the flash looks like it was made for a much darker room! Scarily bright!
Was a weird evening though as I was in immense pain. Done something to my shoulder, I think from driving back from Yorkshire for seven and a half hours. Been a little bit dodgey and then excruciating ever since. On plenty of painkillers (which make me a little bit floaty) and anti inflammatory's. Almost crashed my car on the painkillers! lol! Didn't realise how much they knocked me until I was driving!
Luckily no casualties! Funny though!

Good day and Happy New Years!
Hope all your festivities of last evening were fruitful and joyous!
Mine was fairly good. Best mate and I went to our local with some of her family and some of our friends. It was an interesting evening as I now understand why when she was younger my best mate was made to sign a contract agreeing to never drink vodka again. Scarey girl! Not really, just a little bit of arrogance and selfishness reared it's ugly head. But bless her, she did apologise profusely this afternoon at half two when we decided we should join the land of the living.
Well, I guess this is the time of year for resolutions and reflections.
What have I learnt over this last year? I suppose that I'm not bad person, that my education has become important to me and that my life need not revolve around a man. Strangely quite liking my life as it is right now, just being me, doing what I want, when I want.
As for resolutions. It is my plan to go to see a friend of mine once he's moved overseas. I beleieve it's Canada he's going to but still trying to find out where. He's going to improve his snowboarding skills and hopefully get a sponsorship. He's very good and has made me promise that he will teach me how to snowboard. So, there's my resolution. Stop smoking when I've finished the last five in my box and save that cash towards my plane ticket.
I will also increase on my exercise and try and eat a little healthier. Sure so many people will be shaking their heads as soooooo many people say the same thing every year! But I'm not planning to be some health nut, just not so crap at looking after myself. Please shoot me if I ever take up jogging! Fell into that trap years ago and my knees have never forgiven me!
A big resolution for me and my best mate is to become a little more cultured this year. Starting by a visit to a gallery suggested by the lovely blackwell and looking into other shows and film debuts etc for the remainder of the year.
So any more suggestions of interesting and culturalesque type things are greatly appreciated!
I hope 2006 brings you all you hope and dream of!
Oh yeah, new pics in the pics folders from New Years if anyone's interested!? I apologise for the quality!
A new digi cam is currently being looked into.

Well, it's that time of the year again!
Time to spend long evenings drinking and taking the piss with families and loved ones. I'm settling for family as I'm a lonely Sparkle again this Christmas! But hey, at least it means I haven't had to shell out a load of dosh on a man! lol!! Which is what I did last year and then the bastard dumped me just before Christmas! And who keeps bloody receipts when you think everything's going swimmingly?!
Anyway, sad story over!
I am off to the lovely shire of York tomorrow after swinging by Reading to see friends and pick up my brother at the station. Luckily from Reading it should only take about four hours. Well, that's assuming the traffic isn't too bad but I'm not holding out too much hope on that score! Luckily as I will have my pup with me I will have to make frequent stops fro toilet breaks for him. He had another antibiotic injection today. They always make him pee loads! So a lengthy but relaxed journey ahead of me tomorrow hopefully.
I am making tracks tomorrow morning so doubtful I will be around for about a week.
So, Merry Christmas to all you wonderful people!
And to those who don't celebrate Christmas. Go to owrk on Monday and Tuesday! They're not your holidays! lol! Only joking! Blag off every day possible is what I say.

Singstar 80's!!!!!
I recommend everyone who can appreciate a touch of retro cheese should go out and buy it today! My best mate and I have indulged in almost a whole day of it today. My singing voice is far better than expected. You must remember that I was thrown out of the choir at junior school and always cast as the little kid who couldn't sing but God still loved her. That was when I was part of the god squad you see. Hallelujah, Praise jesus, tambourines and all of that. If only my pastor could see me now.
Another sound investment is an eye toy. Haven't had such a work out in a long time. Good fun though so I may rethink my musings of joining a gym and just have a session on the PS2 every day. Much more fun, no stunning beauties next to me looking fresh faced after a work out whilst I sweat half my body weight away and take about three days for the blood to drain from my face.
Just thirteen days until Xmas and I only did my shopping yesterday! How unorganised am I? Did manage to get everything I wanted for the people I buy for. My family just seems to be growing at the moment though. There's my immediate family. Now a sister in law. a girlfriend, my best mate, her family and my other best mate. Too many people but luckily we've all agreed to keep it on the cheap this year as we all have slowly expanding families. Luckily no children in our immediate family yet or my Mum may get that brooding look in her eye and wondering aloud when I'm gonna settle down. Bless her, she does live in hope.

Got back from Germany late last night and been feeling rough all day. 
It's not good!
Wedding was fabulous. Fraught with problems from the moment we arrived on Thursday night but it happened and my brother is now a happily married man.
Started off with our plane taking off late but the pilot put pedal to the metal and we made up the time during the flight.
Landed and we were meant to meet my brother after two train journeys from the airport but as we got to Hansaring (first point of change of train) we got a text from soon to be married brother saying could we catch a cab as he was ill and his fiance was tired. Abusive texts were sent and many cabs were hailed before one eventually stopped.
Arrived at their flat, Hurrah!!! Found my brother sweaty and white as a ghost and had been puking for a couple of hours. Great!
So left him to kip, sat up chatting and then at about half one or two in the morning his fiance tells us we have to be up early to help set up the hall the next day. I am so not a morning person!!
So we get up at silly o'clock and it's bloody freezing. Fiance, other brother and best man head off in a van to fetch the copious amounts of booze they've ordered whilst sick boy stays in bed. We follow in a train (me, mum, dad and best man's g-friend) and get whipped into shape by the scariest woman in all of Germany. Don't get me wrong I know German people are more blunt etc and it's more of an understanding of other people's culture's kind of thing but she was just plain scarey!!
So, we spend the day in a beautiful but freezing old church making table settings and laying out the tables. Lots of delicate wire work and feathers and leaves. Not good when you can't feel your fingers! But frequent placing of hands on pretty crap heaters meant we got through it.
Eventually returned to the flat, picked up our things and moved to the hotel. I had the weirdest yet coolest room I have ever been in. It was sooooo tiny! I felt like Alice in Wonderland. Had a couple of pics taken as it was just too funny for words but they're on me dad's cam so will post when I have them.
After this went out for dinner and brother to be married still in bed.
Surprisingly the wedding day was beautiful. It was freezing but lovely. Oh yeah, the best man forgot his passport for signing the witness part and had top run back to get it once we were halfway to the service! But besides that it all went by without any more hitches. Beautiful day which I was really happy to be a part of. My mum made me alugh though as she was trying to match me up with some of the blokes there! lol!!! Most of the single ones were gay! So I just had a few drinks and later scared the older folk with my tattoo collection. Tee hee! No, they were okay with them. I have the feeling my brother may have pre warned them. I wore a really silly pair of shoes though which hurt so much I couldnt walk so went to the reception in jeans and boots with my corset and blazer. Luckily it was dark and Germany seems a little less formal with these things. Their friends did all sorts of things which would be so out of keeping with the way the english do weddings but it was really beautiful. Like, near the end of the night, well, morning by this point, everyone went outside and let off helium balloons with sparklers attached. It was like fireflies in the sky. Really, really, beautiful.
Unfortunately the evil bug my brother had went through the camp like wildfire! Best man's girlfriend was sick at the reception, other brother started as we were leaving and I started today! So not good!
Sorry, this journal entry conatins a lot of puke but thats how it felt. Thats definately how I feel today!
Besides the sickness etc it a really, really wonderful weekend. Was lovely to be with my family and sharing such a special occassion. Just bummed I've gotta be back at work tomorrow!
Ah well, such is life.
My puppy is now home as he was extremely ill before I went to Germany, so sick I almost didn't go! But he's now home stitched up like frankenstein but keeping his food down and full of energy again. Sorry! Puke came into it again! lol! But he was very poorly. So very, very glad he could come home today as I was sick with worry all weekend. Hey, maybe thats why I feel so crap today?! Who knows?!
I'll stop rambling now! Christ, didn't realise I'd written this much. Doubt it makes sense but hey, I don't make sense very often!

Don't get me wrong I know German people are more blunt etc and it's more of an understanding of other people's culture's kind of thing but she was just plain scarey!!
So, we spend the day in a beautiful but freezing old church making table settings and laying out the tables. Lots of delicate wire work and feathers and leaves. Not good when you can't feel your fingers! But frequent placing of hands on pretty crap heaters meant we got through it.
Eventually returned to the flat, picked up our things and moved to the hotel. I had the weirdest yet coolest room I have ever been in. It was sooooo tiny! I felt like Alice in Wonderland. Had a couple of pics taken as it was just too funny for words but they're on me dad's cam so will post when I have them.
After this went out for dinner and brother to be married still in bed.
Surprisingly the wedding day was beautiful. It was freezing but lovely. Oh yeah, the best man forgot his passport for signing the witness part and had top run back to get it once we were halfway to the service! But besides that it all went by without any more hitches. Beautiful day which I was really happy to be a part of. My mum made me alugh though as she was trying to match me up with some of the blokes there! lol!!! Most of the single ones were gay! So I just had a few drinks and later scared the older folk with my tattoo collection. Tee hee! No, they were okay with them. I have the feeling my brother may have pre warned them. I wore a really silly pair of shoes though which hurt so much I couldnt walk so went to the reception in jeans and boots with my corset and blazer. Luckily it was dark and Germany seems a little less formal with these things. Their friends did all sorts of things which would be so out of keeping with the way the english do weddings but it was really beautiful. Like, near the end of the night, well, morning by this point, everyone went outside and let off helium balloons with sparklers attached. It was like fireflies in the sky. Really, really, beautiful.
Unfortunately the evil bug my brother had went through the camp like wildfire!
Best man's girlfriend was sick at the reception, other brother started as we were leaving and I started today! So not good!Sorry, this journal entry conatins a lot of puke but thats how it felt. Thats definately how I feel today!
Besides the sickness etc it a really, really wonderful weekend. Was lovely to be with my family and sharing such a special occassion. Just bummed I've gotta be back at work tomorrow!
Ah well, such is life.
My puppy is now home as he was extremely ill before I went to Germany, so sick I almost didn't go! But he's now home stitched up like frankenstein but keeping his food down and full of energy again. Sorry! Puke came into it again! lol! But he was very poorly. So very, very glad he could come home today as I was sick with worry all weekend. Hey, maybe thats why I feel so crap today?! Who knows?!
I'll stop rambling now! Christ, didn't realise I'd written this much. Doubt it makes sense but hey, I don't make sense very often!
Well, another evening at college has passed. No Maths on Thursday which is excellent. Going to Germany to my brother's wedding. So I'll be missing History a week today too! Really looking forward to the big day as he's the eldest and it was looking for a while like I was gonna be the first one down the aisle but thankfully put a stop to that idea!
Only downside is I will miss seeing The Mingers when they play London and Southampton. Bummer, ah well, another time hopefully!
Went to Erotica yesterday which was wicked. Bought lots of crazy clothes you can only buy online for silly money but there it's always within reach. Bought my best mate a wig as she's always wanted one. Really, really suits her and looks like real hair unlike most of them. I bought a hairpiece to attach as a ponytail which is also pretty cool but now contemplating a wig until mine grows out a bit more. Getting bored with it now. Would also look rather smashing for my brother's wedding this coming weekend. But alas, hairpiece (if I can ever get the bastard thing to stay in that is) will have to suffice. So long as I don't get trolleyed and run around like a fool and have it fall off I have been known to act the clown when a litte hammered. But in a good way! Not obnoxious or such like! So long as I dont end up I should be just fine. Those germans can hold their booze a hell of a lot better than I can! I'm a lightweight really! Fingers crossed my brother has extended his social boundaries to now know more eligible young man who won't look terrified when my tattoos are revealed. Yeah right! Think I'll be in the wrong city in Germany for such miracles! 
Sleep is slowly creeping up on me now. Sure it will pass in a sec but in case not I'll end it there for tonight. If you're all very lucky I may post a couple of pics of me in me new clobber. When I can be arsed!

Long, long, long day today! Headed off to Kent at 09:00 this morning. Got to my first appoitment about 11:15, stayed an hour and then off to the next one. Got there about 13:15. Stayed for 45 mins. Got to my next appointment at 14:50 after driving up and down the same bastarding road for twenty minutes trying to find bastarding number 38!!! 
Eventually turns out that the number is displayed on the side of the house away from the road! Just to confuse mortals like me. Tried ringing christ only knos how many times but no answer. Eventually find it and tell them their phone isn't working. 'Oh, sorry, we were in the loft.' Gee, that's useful!!
Left there after an hour, roadworks on the M25 and the M3 so pulled into Farnborough about 18:00, just in time for three hours of History on my Access course. Soooo tired now!
BUT there is a happy ending!
A package was waiting on the stairs for me. Guess what was in it? Go on, have a guess....
All my beautiful new things from SG! Beautiful, beautiful things! Much, much happier Sparkle now.
Hell, if I'm not allowed to be a Suicide Girl (work would fire me!) then I'm sure as hell gonna show my appreciation!

Hooray! It's the blessed weekend! And have finally figured out how to put SG's in my fave spot! Aah, poor litte Sparkle, I know!
This weekend will mostly be taken up with going to a divorce celebration gathering tonight.
And then tomorrow going out with some mates to Guildford. Bit scared as I've never been there before. I may scare the locals. Well, so long as there are no mass lynchings being planned I should be alright. It's a bit of a shirts and shoes kind of place from what I've been told. Should be interesting I guess.
I think Sunday will be...PANTS DAY...!!!
That blessed day where you stay in your pants for an entire day! No makeup! No getting dressed! No socialising! Just telly, DVD's and junk food. It has become a time honoured tradition with myself and my bezza mate when we have some free time. Oh roll on Sunday...
