Oh, hi!

Things which have annoyed me recently:

Walkers and Tesco have changed their crisps and now they’re not as crunchy and they taste a bit weird. Apparently they’ve made them healthier, but I don’t really see the point in trying to make something healthy when is so clearly meant to be unhealthy. Bastards. I may need to find a new snack of choice, but that is easier said than done as I am hopelessly addicted to crisps.

That stupid hair advert with that man on it with the stupid annoying face.

That is all.

I don’t think much has really happened since I last blogged, which is a bit upsetting because it’s been so long.

I got a job eventually, working in the call centre of a place which sells water gardens. Then I got a new job in the same place as the assistant buyer (promotion after 2 months there – skills) which is lots better and means I don’t have to talk to the general public which is nice.

The cat is now quite large and is made from pure evil. We think he might actually be a bit mentally ill because of how weird he is. He’s not allowed outside yet, which could be contributing but I think he’s just horrible and likes attacking people (me in particular).

Not entirely sure what else has happened. I’ve had some housemates. Duncan has moved in. The house is messy.

I finally bought and started reading Lord of the Rings (I’m fully aware of how bad it is that I haven’t read them up until now) and so far not that much has happened. They went on a walk for a bit and now they’re lost in a forest. I’m hoping something epic will happen soon, perhaps a helicopter explosion.

This is a weird blog post. I need to get back into the swing of it, so I will try to write more regularly than never and hopefully it will all be alright…

Diagnosis Murder?

Yesterday was a day of tragedy that shall never be forgotten:

  • 11.30 am - Trevor Macdonald found to be missing from his bowl. Preliminary search inconclusive.
  • 11.35 am - Hobbes T. Cat named as main suspect.
  • 12:45 pm - Hobbes T. Cat cleared of murder when Mother Park pointed out the lack of water spillage around the bowl.
  • 1.00 pm -Lunch
  • 3.00 pm - Thorough search reveals corpse in coal bucket.
  • 3.01 pm - Corpse identified as Trevor Macdonald - Siamese fighting fish.
  • 3.05 pm - Verdict: Suicide.

The problem with Facebook…

If you didn’t want to be my friend at school, then why in the name of all that is logical would you want to be my friend now!? There are people adding me who I know for a fact actively disliked me at school! Not that I did anything wrong; just a clash of opinions you understand…

Also, it seems I am the only person who went to Red House who hated it and doesn’t have fond memories… I know that reminiscing always happens through rose tinted glasses (not literally. Like if everyone had a pair of rose tinted glasses and had to wear them before remembering things fondly.) but still. Nearly every teacher there treated us all like 5 year olds up until we left and if you weren’t either massively academic or really sporty you were shit.

Rant over. I do have nice memories of all my friends of course, and Facebook has helped me get in touch with some who I lost touch with through being a bit rubbish. So that’s good.

The other problem with Facebook is that I’m a very nosy person so it’s really addictive.

The nice man from Tesco brought me some food today so I can eat again! Hurrah! I managed to order nothing unhealthy apart from crisps. I always do that and then wish I’d at least bought some Rich Tea biscuits or something… Plus, I keep remembering things I should have ordered. Like Ryvita.

Today I watched ‘half ton hospital’ with Jeremy Kyle. It was about a hospital in NYC which specialises in making fat people thin again. Or something. And when I say fat, I mean FAT. As in 55 stone. That’s more than 5 1/2 of me. There was one man who ate 15,000 calories a day. Good lord!

That’s not really funny…

Hobbes

This is Hobbes. After being completely adamant that I was getting a rescue cat that no-one else wanted, I have somehow caved to Duncan and got a kitten. He is the cutest thing in the world though. At the moment he’s clawing my leg, which is not so cute.

As you may have guessed I’m still jobless. I have applied for a job in a deli though, which I really really want. I’d be able to work with food all day! Also, I’m thinking I might want to own my own deli when I’m older so it would be good experience. And if I hate it then that’s another career option I can cross off the list. I’m beginning to think I should have an actual list and not a metaphorical one…

The shame! The ignominy! The free money…

I signed on today. The shame. You can do it online now though, so I was spared the walk to the Job Centre. I’m hoping the free money will make up for the fact that I can’t get myself a job. £47 a week - that’s enough for anyone to live on… If that person happened to have no home and no outgoings at all.

Other than that, I haven’t been posting much because there hasn’t been much to say. The cat was dangled in front of me and then cruelly taken away. However, I will have a cat if it kills me. I’m hoping the cat I get won’t kill me though…

In the meantime, I have a Siamese fighting fish called Trevor Macdonald. He’s rather cool.
