I saw the boy I like last night (No, I wasn't stalking him). And he spent the entire night talking about me (in a good way) - Yay! My eavesdropping skills are amazing these days! 
Went to H&M last week and bought some new pretty clothes. You know when you look in your wardrobe and 50% of the clothes in there, you've never worn and will probably just not wear? I shall probably put a sheetload of it up on ebay at some point this week.
Also got a new tattoo. Not sure if you can see it very clearly, but here it is, red and sore:
I will post a better pic when it's all pretty and healed. Still massively got the bug now, and want lots of new tattoos.
Went drinking with some pals this week. We ran into my dad in Wetherspoons.
No, really. The zombie has my eyes!
And then I went out on Friday night with my girls to see AlexisonFire, Anti Flag, Four Years Strong and Ghost of a Thousand, which would've been amazing had we not got a flat tire right in the middle of Oxford and missed the first two bands.
We were late anyways because my crummy boss wouldn't let me leave work on time because someone decided to quit two hours before their shift started. Not good.
So this week has been a much better week. How is everyone else doing? xxx

Boys smell of wee.
I just thought I'd share that with you.
I got dumped by a guy I really liked and was seeing (can you technically be dumped if you're only seeing each other?) because he decided he was still in love with his ex. I guess I should be glad that he told me this now before things got serious between us... BUT, still. I'm complaining cause I really liked him.
Again, boys smell of wee.
Sorry I've not written any journal entries as of late, I hate feeling like I'm talking to myself... xxx
Say helllooooo, I think I'm nice.

I just popped in to say hello. I'm still wandering around these halls, drunk and lost. hit me up if you're lost too?
I'm working in musicland again this week. Yayyyy! This makes me happy. We have some band interviews scheduled and I've been doing a lot of prep so I hope I get to interview on camera, that'd be cool. I'm missing my the old life a fair bit. Anyone wanna pay me for my craft? That'd be lovely. For a pessimist, I'm pretty optimistic. Thanks Paramore!
Anyway, I just wondered what people thought of Rigel's latest set... there seems to be a bit of controversy around why it got bought. Some people are saying that it's front page only because Ms Rigel is a staff member.
Check it out: Rigel's iPhone Set
Personally, I think it's really creative. AND HONEST.
People are always criticising SG for not showing enough real / unphotoshopped images of women - and this is what Rigel has done. The only photoshop is on the logo. (I admit the lighting is pretty stark - but that's what you get when you don't have photoshop people...)
I really don't get what all the fuss is about! Sure, it's "candid" and I know a lot of hopeful's post "candid" sets in member review that don't get bought but is that all the bitterness is about?
Because if a hopeful had shot the set in the same way as Rigel, and had come up with that idea and implemented it in the same way, they'd too have had their set purchased.
I totally think it deserves front page. What do you guys think?
There's so many creative sets on SG right now, and they've all been so beautifully shot. I was looking through some really old sets the other day, and most of them just don't compare. The bar has definitely been raised, the sets getting bought these days are far superior (technically) than they ever used to be.
Not sure that's entirely a good thing... well, it certainly means less hopefuls have the opportunities of getting their sets bought, as they're going to have to use their cunning to reel in a shit hot photographer to shoot it. and/or be out of pocket to pay for quality photography. Something I've been weighing up recently, anyways.
Y'know what with being shit poor and fed up of working for free, that is.
Ah well, onwards and upwards. Life's too short to waste it away complaining. I've done more than enough of that already.

<b>This week's PET PEEVES</b>
These are predominantly work-based because I don't really like my current job.
1. when you nochalantly say, "oh i'm a vegetarian. i don't eat meat" because you've just been offered meat, or you're at dinner and not ordering meat, does some wisearsecrackpot want to know every single detail about WHY you turned vegetarian, how long you've been vegetarian, what is a vegetarian, a history of what you do eat/ don't eat, their opinion on what you do/ don't eat, their opinion on what you should/shouldn't eat and why, leading to them wanting to know WHY you'd actually bother to be a vegetarian in the first place.
when you've been vegetarian for close on ten years, it becomes VERY boring, very quickly. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ASKED THESE QUESTIONS EVERY SINGLE TIME I MEET A NEW PERSON AND/OR AM EATING AROUND THEM. because that's pretty much every single damn day. LEAVE ME ALONE.
i would love it, if one day someone asked me why i wasn't eating meat and i said, "because i'm vegetarian", they simply answered with the words, "oh you're vegetarian? cool" and then, SILENCE. that would be fucking bliss!
2. Being perved on by men old enough to be my father, who actually think they might stand a chance with me. Look I know you like to have your little fantasies. go ahead. but please don't think for a second that you stand a chance of getting into bed with me, when you're older than my dad, and your youngest daughter is four years older than me. women my age are generally interested in men your age because they are blinded by this thing called money, that you supposedly have. i'm not impressed by money and therefore you have no chance whatsoever of ever getting into bed with me. so you may as well stop having an opinion on my sweet arse every five minutes, because you're never going to get the goodies, old man.
3. Shallow fuckers that turn round and say things like, "you're not my type". "and you say, "okay so what's your type?" and then say, "Oh i like trophy girls." and you say, "wow. i actually thought you were a cool person before that came out of your pretty little mouth." everyone in the room, gasps.
4. When you've told a guy you are not interested (in no uncertain terms) and they continue on at you, like you're ever going to change your mind.
5. When you tell a guy you don't want to have sex with him, or anything to happen between you, and he tries to put his hands down your pants. and it gets so heated (because your bitching at him for having no respect for you) that you end up stopping the car, kicking him out of it and then leaving him at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, before feeling guilty and picking the guy back up. because he's four miles from home and it's 1am. and even though someone you know just sexually assaulted you, you still think you're too much of a good person to leave them in the middle of nowhere.
6. When you know a couple who are really happy and in love, and you're so jealous of their relationship. and one day, the guy gets drunk (who you've known since you were thirteen because he was your sister's first boyfriend) and tries to have sex with you. (the pro of this is that you get drinks bought for you, forevermore for keeping your mouth shut).
7. When your working in a bar, and some guy grab's your arse or acts "inappropriately" to you, and then they wonder why they get a pint thrown over their head, and screamed at. just because you work in a bar does not make you public property, y'know!
8. When one of your friends is going on about how much she likes a guy, that you know is an arsehole and you can't tell her because she's so into him. he then acts like a douche to her, because he is a douche and you can't even tell her then because she continues to go back there. oh, and he's shagging some other girl and she won't believe you.
9. When your best friend gets upset because you won't have sex with him. that's why he's your best friend and not your boyfriend, dur.
10. people who have an opinion on everything, every second of every day, and they think they're always right and won't even listen to anyone else's opinions even if the person is just "sharing" and not trying to change their opinion on anything, because it doesn't match their own. if you want to share your own opinion (some people like me, don't always) then you should be willing to hear someone else's opinion even if it's not the same as yours.
I think I'm done. I'm in a bad mood today. I am shitting bricks because I got a new job (type thing) starting this week, and I'm panicking because I have no idea whatsoever of what I am actually doing.

Hey sorry not posted a journal entry for time, i've been loitering on SG but not really posting all that much - I think the technical term is "voyeurism". I promise my curtains aren't shut and I'm not wanking in the shadows.
So I don't have a lot to report. My life is a bit boring at the moment; still not found a "proper job" but have picked up a few bar shifts which shall hopefully help to pay the bills, but unfortunately is not going to help me sort my life out anytime soon. Oh well, onwards and upwards! Still attempting to maintain my positivity pact, which is proving difficult, esp on the job front and the fact that the boy I like is gone again, because we just argue all the fucking time. I swear it didn't always used to be like this.
Anyways, me and my friend were having myspace chat last night about lonely hearts ads, and with her permission, i set up a lonley hearts ad for her, which'll hopefully mean my friend is set up with someone somewhat compatable (in theory).
here was the ad she came up with:
"Woman seeks man who enjoys long country walks, foreign lands, Morrissey and holding hands. Must not be an utter douche".
i got to thinking about my own lonely hearts ad and what it would say:
"tempremental (artificially) redheaded little miss sassy pants seeks tattoo'd man with high annoyance threshold to bake cupcakes, fornicate and listen to loud and angry hardcore music. would ideally like someone spontaneous who would pack up in a camper van at a moment's notice to go on random adventures. must not be obsessed with trophy girls, not write in txt spk, not attempt to asphixiate and/or constrain without consent, nor attempt to have sex when asleep. you'd ideally be tall, with alternative interests, probably creative; have awesome taste in shoes and be intelligent and have a moderate knowledge of punk cultures. would not listen to wanky indie music nor compare unfavourably to blonde bimbos. must be able to extinguish angry rants, destructive tendencies and show moderate amount of love and respect."
Do you think I'm being a little bit too specific?!
So this is me with red hair (I'm loving my red hair at the moment)
And um yeah that's pretty much me. I forget how nice it is here sometimes!

People are such A**HOLES
I wasn't going to comment in the actual thread because I didn't want to kick off anything, BUT... fucking hell some people's criticism on "hopeful" sets are fucking horrible! Those of you who are also in the hopeful group probably know what comments I am talking about.
IMHO SG is about different kinds of beauty. Yes, that often does include airbrushed images of perfection. Some of the girls on this site are positively stunning and perfect (again, IMHO), and have perfect bodies and suchlike (IMHO). But there are just any many girls, who don't have what I would deem a "perfect" body and who are still beautiful and wonderful in their own right (and anyhoo, who cares what I think is "perfect". Who the fuck am I???!).
Basically, I joined SG because I wanted to be a part of something that celebrates different kinds of beauty. If I wanted to see mainstream stuff, where everyone is airbrushed to a mm of perfection, then I'd buy FHM or one of those mags that celebrate that kind of beauty. If Suicide Girls want to do sets that wouldn't look out of place in FHM / Loaded/ Hustler/ whatever - great, good for them. If they don't, they don't. I don't see why the whole fucking site has to be about the kind of beauty that you see everytime you walk past a newsstand.
Now, I've been thinking for a while that I might like to do SG because I think it would be really nice to celebrate how I look, now that I am at a point in my life where I am relatively happy (well, no one's perfect) with how I look. And looking at some of the comment's on this site, one particular hopeful's set (poor love - she was so nice about it too) makes me not want to do it. Now, I'm probably being overtly sensitive, you're always gonna get people who are like "man, you're beautiful" and others who are like, "sweetheart you need to get thee to a gym pronto!" and I don't have a problem with that. I'd never concern myself with those douchebags! BUT... saying this, is just fucking out of order:
"Now the not so easy part...this is a site for HOT naked girls. There is a zero percent chance you will be accepted as an SG, honey. You are just not up to the standard and somebody owes it to you to let you know before you waste more time on another set like this one. I don't wanna hurt your feelings but you might as well know sooner rather than later."
Now I'm not gonna say which Hopeful this is aimed at, nor who posted the criticism. But... I would've thought that someone who obviously understands the importance in sets that something like GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY can make, would know not to attack a women personally for how HE THINKS she looks in the set. Fine, encourage a hopeful to do some flattering poses, wear some nice underwear that makes them feel sexy, but attacking a girl and telling her she has NO CHANCE because IN HIS opinion she's not hot... is a douchebag thing to say. If you don't like the set, maybe the photography isn't great, maybe she looks uncomfortable, whatever; but telling someone they're not hot, that just makes you a douchebag! Right?
Surely, I'm not alone...
ps: anyone wanna give me some advice on how to shoot a great set - so I'm not on the receiving end of these kind of comments? Love you forever!!!! xxx

I've been feeling a bit minging this week. I have this sort of ritual when I feel a bit pooey and I want to feel all sexified. I glam myself up (there's usually no one in the house but me when I do this), put on a nice dress, some heels and cover my face in slap. It serves as a reminder that I can look nice when I feel like it. I don't know about you, but I never feel as sexy wearing my favourite jeans and cotton pants, as I do when I've got nice underwear and a pretty dress on! One of these days, I might find a happy medium.
The outcome of that little outburst was this:
I'm on the most part quite happy with my body. But there's always room for improvement, so if anyone knows any awesome ways I can tone my tummy up, please let me know. I may have overdone it a bit on the chocolate recently.... mmmm chocolate. So far, I've resisted the urge to bake cupcakes this month. But we're only on day 12 so there's plenty of time to rectify that!
So today, I have mainly been listening to this awesome song.
I'm so glad Brody Dahl is back. I loved her in the Distillers but I think I like her new musical direction even more.
I'm going through some personal stuff at the moment with men in my life. And I've been hanging out with my best mate absolutely loads (he's awesome). I slept in his bed again last night (completely platonically) but you know when it kind of feels like you're going out with someone but you're not? I kind of feel like that. We almost had "that" conversation the other day - you know the dreaded one where you talk about where your friendship is going. I really don't want to have that conversation - I've been avoiding it for a good few weeks now. But, I know it's coming. Problem is, I'm not "in love" with my bestmate. He's my bestmate. And my ex-boy and I have only just gone our separate ways... so my feelings are mega confused right now. Plus the fact that ex-boy has gone AWOL. Why do boys do that? When you are trying to find out how you feel about them, why do they insist on buggering out of your stratosphere? Eeeeek. Ah, well. Time will tell, I guess. Either that, or more drunken nights out with my bestmate will come to some kind of clatostrophic conclusion.
So I felt like some personal ranting today, please excuse. I'm in on a Friday night - this clearly means I need to sort my life out and get a regular job again. This recession is irritating me more than anything else right now. I miss having money to buy nice underwear. Would you believe I've made a list of all the things I want to buy when I get a regular job? Top of that list is a tattoo that I've been coveting for the past 2 years, and that I've now decided I definitely want. Anyone want to bring me a job, so I can go get myself inked up some more?!

The outcome of that little outburst was this:
I'm on the most part quite happy with my body. But there's always room for improvement, so if anyone knows any awesome ways I can tone my tummy up, please let me know. I may have overdone it a bit on the chocolate recently.... mmmm chocolate. So far, I've resisted the urge to bake cupcakes this month. But we're only on day 12 so there's plenty of time to rectify that!
So today, I have mainly been listening to this awesome song.
