Hey peeps!
Sorry I haven't been around in like forever but the internet at home is broken! I'm currently at work and hoping no one sees me on here!
Anyway quick re-cap: so far I've lost 12lbs since starting my diet in January! I've been promoted at work! I got a B in my Japanese exams! Yippee!
Gotta go, my boss is calling me from the other side of the office! xxx

I managed to lose 2 lbs this week (my total's now up to 9lbs) even though I didn't/couldn't stick to the diet properly due to being inflected with nasty snot making germies. I bought a pair of trousers in the next size down, hoping to use them as 'goal trousers'. I realised this wouldn't work when I tried them on and they fitted me perfectly. So it'll be the next size down from that, size 18 (UK), that is my next goal.
After rediscovering some of my old notebooks and talking with a friend of mine at work, I've decided to get my writing career somewhere other than trapped in tatty old notebooks. I've started a new blog my blog! where I hope to post something I've written every Thursday. The deadline should give me the kick I need to get writing every day. The more I write the more likely I am to write something good enough to be published. All feedback is welcome, either at the blog itself or on here, just make sure it's all constructive.
I saw Soulfly on Sunday and they were stunningly amazingly epic! It was the first time I saw them play live and I wasn't disappointed. They were on top form and I had great fun giving myself whiplash by head banging too much!
Plans for the weekend: go to Brighton with my Mum and auntie, get Mum to dye my hair purple then rock out to Gaslight Anthem at the Wedge. In a word: Awesome! Toodles, C x

3 hours to go and all I can think about is the last time we saw each other. The tears and the promises burn in my chest. Did you keep your side of the bargain? I've been a good girl as always. Not that there's a lot of temptation. How about you? Actually I don't want to know. Keep that part to yourself.
2 hours to go and I'm trying to remember what you look like. Hair as dark as night, that tickles my skin when I run my fingers through it. Eyes as bright as day, always smiling as if nothing could ever hurt you. Hands as soft as a baby's blanket, that know how to comfort me whenever I need it. How do you remember me? Or have I just faded away into the back of your mind?
1 hour to go and I start to worrythat you might have changed? Have I changed? Change doesn't always been progress. If only you were here now, right in front of me so I could ask you. I'm so impatient with these kind of things. You probably knew that already. You've always known me so well. You could probably predict my next move, right?
Here I am and there you are. You open your arms wide when you see me. I try my best to control myself and not run straight into you, knocking us both to the ground. As our arms lock around each other, I get that beautifully familiar feeling. All my worries escape me and my brain finally begins to calm down.
Right here with you is where I want to be. I am home.

Another 2lbs have bitten the dust! Banzai!
Which is actually surprising to me as I fell off the diet in a major way at the weekend. After the hellish week at work, I decided that getting really quite drunk at my friends' engagement party was the way to go. I stuck to vodka and diet coke and while I was at that party, I was well behaved. But when the club closed and me and my housemates announced everyone should come back to ours, that's when my good behaviour went out of the window! In the drunken haze, here is what I remember:
* Bitching with my fellow single friends (all 3 of us!) about how much it sucks to be single when everyone else around us is in relationships.
* Crying about the fact I've never been in love.
* Falling asleep next to the toilet (apparently I threw up but I don't remember that).
* Waking up the next morning with a monster hangover!
So it's official: I'm off the vodka! I made everyone who stayed over a massive fry up (diet down fall #1) as a way of apologising for my behaviour. I then spent most of the day in front of the TV, watching 2 and 1/2 Men and Scrubs. In the evening, a couple of peeps came back to our house and we ordered a stupid amount of take out (diet down fall #2). We watched new episodes of Supernatural (yay DEAN!!) and the awful, awful, awful Disaster Movie (please don't ever see that movie - it's a waste of time).
I'm now off of work with a cold that keeps threatening to turn into flu if I don't pay enough attention. Yesterday, I watched no less than 6 chessy 80's movies (in order of being watched: Mannequin, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Karate Kid, The Burbs, The Goonies and Heathers). Today, I think I'll go for Disney movies!
Hope everything is just peachy for all y'all! xxx
P.S. Here's some pics from Saturday night...

So the diet is going well, I've lost 5lbs so far. That's what counting calories and actually getting off of my butt and doing some exercise has done for me! I must admit, I've now invested in a lot of low fat, low calorie snacks and puddings as I'm starting to miss the sweet stuff.
My kitty is not happy with me. She was spayed last Friday and now she has to wear a cone on her head to stop her pulling out her stitches! See...

Work has been a bit of nightmare. It's manic because it's exam week (I work for a university) so most people in my office are running around trying to organise everyone and everything that dares crosses our paths. On top of that, some of the girls in the office have starting bitching and moaning to anyone who will listen about each other. I try my best to stay out of it and if anyone asks my opinion, I say 'just get on with your work' (which, judging from the reactions I get, is not the right answer!). Aaargh! Deep breath, count to 10...
Hope everyone else is cool out in SG land! x
I weighed myself for the first time in an absolute age today and it made me sad. I'm way heavier than I thought I was. 15st 12lb (222lbs) 
However I made myself feel glad that I've already started my diet plan (I'm now 4 days into it) so with fingers crossed, I won't be this heavy for that long.
In other news, my cat hates nail files.

Usually my new year's resolutions go along the lines of 'must go to more gigs' or 'must not spend all my time playing sims/pokemon/tony hawks'. However this year, I'm going down a different route. I'm actually going to try and lose weight.
I've been chubby but now when I look in the mirror, I get the impression I've gone past the point of chubby into FAT. So instead of sitting on my butt feeling depressed about the whole shenanigans, I'm going to do something about it.
I haven't weighed myself yet and I'm not going to be following any particular diet but I will be cutting out as much bad stuff (which happens to be my favourite stuff!) as I can.
Hope everyone had epic new year's. We had a party at our place that got very messy (it took three large garbage bags to clear up the beer cans alone!) but everyone had an awesome time, which is the main thing.
I've had some good news: my close friends Leanne and Chave will be getting married this year. They went to Paris for New Year's and Chave proposed while they were in Euro Disney. I'm so happy for them!
For whatever reason, Chave decided he was going to work out how long everyone has until they turn 30. I have 546 days to go. When he told me, I said it was 545 days until I get so monumentally wasted I won't even notice I've turned 30.
That's all from me for the time being. Wish me luck in avoiding all the delicious chocolate in the world! Trust me, I'm going to need it! C x

Merry Christmas SuicideGirls World! Ok, I know Christmas was yesterday but I didn't have a chance to go online then. So I'm now making up for lost time!
So my Christmas kinda sucked. My Grandma was very sick with a chest infection and nearly died. But she's a tough ol' bird and so she's fighting off the infection like a trooper. She managed to make it to Christmas dinner with me and my parents, and despite her Altzeimer's, she didn't get too freaked out by the whole affair. Mum and I have basically spent the last few days caring for her and we're now both exhausted.
Despite the roughness of my Grandma's illness, I got enough Christmas money to go buy myself an iPod! I was at Curry's bang on 9am this morning and managed to get the last iPod Classic in stock. Yay me! I'm currently waiting for my music library to be converted to iTunes then I can play!
Tonight I'll be going over to my Aunt and Uncle's house for dinner with my parents and my Grandparents from my Dad's side, which will bw awesome. Why? Because I asked my Grandmama to buy me the Watchmen graphic novel for Christmas! Woot!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and got everything you asked Santa for! Love C x
P.S. Because xAlicex asked for them, here's pictures of my kitteh, Pumpkin!

I can't believe I haven't been on here in 6 months! Man has my life been turned upside down several times since then!
Positives: I got a new, better job, I moved in with my friends, I got a promotion at work, I got a wee little kitten called Pumpkin
Negatives: My beloved Grandad died, which still kinda over-shadows the positives for me. To say I haven't handled things well is an accurate statement. But I have a very supportive network of family and friends around me, so I'm slowly getting everything back to normal again.
Like, for example, posting on here. I have no idea if anyone I was friends with here still use the site, but I'm now going to make my round to all the blogs and message boards and say hi!
So here it goes... Hi! xxx

I know I've been super crappy and not kept up with everyone else's lives. I can only apologise. Since I'm changing jobs over the next week, I reckon I'll be able to catch with everyone very soon.
Once again, sorry for being a truly crappy friend. Please forgive me, please?! x x x
