Yanked from my other blog, coz i'm lazy 
You know what i miss (almost) most about living in the UK? The TV shows. British comedy and drama rocks my socks. I didn't even watch loads of it when I lived there, but some of it I was addicted to. See if I had all those channels now to watch, I'd not leave my room and my little tv. Part of being a successful recluse is having things to do whilst being reclusive. Watching tv is one of those things and Australian tv is bollocks mostly, especially now that the ratings season is over. I'm kinda sick of being reclusive, but see my previous post in my other blog, which is making me want to go back there, back to being a recluse.
Yanno at work the other night some guy rang up and SHOUTED down the phone at me, and SHOUTED some more. It was awesome. I'd not said more than the standard greeting when he launched into his diatribe. He started swearing at me so I warned him I'd terminate the call, then the gutless arsehole shouted "YOU'RE A F*CKING C*NT!" and hung up. I'd love to see how he lives the rest of his life. LOL!! Working in a call centre (and I do inbound, no cold calling, they all ring me!) you get to enjoy the dregs of society and their inability to cope with life. The passive aggressives, the down right violent, the hopeless, the useless, the morons, those who I wonder how they even get out of their front door every day. I almost feel like an intelligent species at times and I'm only a middle of the road person. After nearly 18 months of doing it, I've heard some rubbish and right now I think it's brilliant. The job is as tedious as fuck and chips away a bit of my mental sanity every day, but it's just too insightful into human nature.
I dyed my hair dark again today, well the red panel and the terrible roots the last hairdresser did. My roots looked ridiculous. The hairdresser had only dyed an inch either side of my hairline, however my roots were 2.5 inches long! So I had nice stripes. The red panel annoyed me as the initial bleaching job was patchy and the red kept going pink! Pink is so not me. So, instead of persisting I gave in and redid the whole lot. I am too old for high maintenance!
Summer always brings an abundance of crushes for me, if only I could take it a few steps further and break my drought. I do enjoy a good crush, it makes one feel alive. I'm crushing on TWO people at the moment, a girl and a guy. It's brilliant. The crushes reach into my dream life and I take out my years worth of frustrations there!! Hot.
I need a new eye mask. I sleep with an eye mask ha ha ha! I don't know when it started, but the eye mask I have is from when I flew to the UK 4 years ago. I think it's become my security blanket, well that and I generally sleep from 2 or 3am til 10 or 11am. So quite a few of those hours are day lit. I found a gorgeous silk one in Myer the other day, gorgeous if you wanted to pay $40 for a tiny bit of material. I did purchase one from Peter Alexander about a year ago but the material part is not big enough and the elastic is crappy. Where does one find a decent and not hideously expensive eye mask these days?
I'm rather annoyed with my body lately. I've put on weight and the only explanation I can come up with for that is it has to be my hormones. I went on the pill 3 months ago for my suspected endometriosis. Since then I've put on weight in places I've never carried weight. Also in that time I've started riding 11kms almost every day and my diet had not changed. So why the sudden piling on of weight? Sure the older you get the harder it is to shift, but heck, I don't recognise the body I see in the mirror anymore. I'm going to attempt to take up swimming at the newly re-opened Coburg pool. It's a 50 metre outdoor pool, so I'm tipping we need some warm weather before it's nicely swimable! I need to organise myself to do this or my body may continue its onward march towards fatness.
I just got a text message from a friend, asking me what the best pick up line is to use on a girl. Heck, you're asking the wrong person, I tend to fall into stuff like that, I'm the worst person for picking up people EVER! (ps - year long drought *waves*) He says he'll die a virgin, I didn't even know he WAS a virgin!
I'm addicted to scented candles from Dusk. I've never liked scented candles, to me they always smell cheap and nasty. That was until one of my friends gave me a Dusk candle for my birthday. I was converted there and then. They are absolutely divine I've currently got a vanilla and cranberry one burning, it's so delightful on the olfactory system. If I had lots of money I'd buy up big on these beautiful smelling candles.
Holy shit there's some weird stuff on Rage sometimes. There's currently an old woman in a shiny gold top dancing in a rectangle lined with lights. Previously there were people painted blue mouthing beep beep at me. It's almost like an acid dream!!
I need some green, I need to reconnect with my brain.

The waste water pipe from the kitchen of the flat above goes right over my lounge and kitchen before going out the back... the plastic pipe keeps coming loose for some reason. The landlord is going to alter the flow to take it out the front of the property and avoid my flat altogether.
The idea that you'll come back over here just to sit in front of the telly amused me
