I am officially sick of being unemployed now. It’s the most boring thing in the entire world. Also I have zero cash money.
Just got back from a job interview. It didn’t go too badly I don’t think… I didn’t say ‘Girl Power’ at least. Not entirely sure I convinced them I was the best person for the job either though.
I’m currently watching ‘Diet Doctors - inside and out’Â (Channel 5 copy of ‘You are what you eat’ - luckily lacking in irate Scottish ladies bollocking people). It entirely baffles me how people can be so utterly ignorant about food. It’s not difficult; if you eat shit food, you get fat. It’s that simple. Plus, healthy food is nicer. I just don’t understand! The girl on here used to eat 9 burgers a week. That’s more than 1 a day! Ick.
I’m off to Arran tomorrow - exciting!
There’s an advert for Always on tv at the moment and the woman on it has a very strange bottom…
I recently found out that my housemate Jonathan is moving out, so I’ve been on the hunt for someone to move in with. I seem to get a lot of emails from really strange people with very broken English. Not that I would have a problem living with a foreign person; I’m sure they could speak English much better than I can speak their language, I’d just like to know what it is about my house that’s attracting people I clearly have nothing in common with. However, some normal people have replied (at least I think they’re normal) so we’ll see how that goes.
More adverts… Imagine being the Dulco-ease woman. How embarrassing.
I’m very excited about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. It looks excellent. We can only hope that Shredder and Krang are in it, along with Bebop and Rocksteady.
Why is all music coming out at the moment so rubbish? It’s all very dull, they seem to have completely changed the meaning of the word indie and now it involves wearing very tight jeans, pointy shoes and having a very inflated sense of self-importance. I wish some people would make some good music I could dance to.
The theme music to the O.C is one of the most dreadful songs I’ve ever heard.
I watched 100 greatest sex symbols the other night. Well, I caught it from about number 40 or something. It turns out that Angelina Jolie is the greatest sex symbol… ever. Greater even than James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.
I’m not entirely sure I agree. I’m not denying that Angelina is a very beautiful woman and also had a certain unhinged quality which somehow seems to make her more attractive to the public, but come on. Greatest sex symbol ever?! Of our times, maybe, but ever?! Maybe I need a male opinion on this.
My big news is as follows. I was adopted when I was a baby (that’s not the big news, stick with me on this) and for the last couple of years I’ve been kind of loosely searching for my birth mum. Jonic and I found an address a while ago on 192.com which seemed to be my birth grandad, so recently my mum wrote to him to say I was looking for my birth mum, would he happen to know where she was etc.
Anyway, 8 weeks passed and I figured it’d been lost in the post, or maybe she just didn’t want to speak to me. I’d pretty much put it to the back of my mind for now. Then, the other day my mum rang and said they’d had a letter back. (That’s the big news, hope it isn’t an anti-climax…)
It’s just the strangest feeling, I’m really happy of course, but it’s also so huge I’m not sure I’ve taken it in. 20 years is a long time. Now I’ve just got to figure out what to write back…
Just thought I’d share that. Anything to make it seem more real is useful I think.
I can’t decide what’s worse; the fact that we made up such shit answers to the Richard and Judy question-athon, or whether we were so rubbish on camera that they didn’t even show it.
Don’t get me wrong, I am relieved. I did have a slight hope though that I was actually fabulous on camera and that my appearance on TV would turn me into a national sweetheart, being presented with free things wherever I went. It turns out that I’m actually not even good enough for Richard and fucking Judy. I bet they reviewed it themselves and laughed at me. They probably kept the clip so they could laugh at ‘the little people’ at dinner parties with other pseudo-celebrities. Those bastards. Who do they think they are?!
Richard and Judy, probably sharing a private joke at my expense.
Well, I have highly embarrassing news.
Yesterday Duncan and I were wandering around York minding our own business when some youngsters from Channel 4 came over. Apparently they were doing a slot to go on Richard and Judy about some new show called Heroes (which I believe my good buddy Paul blogged about recently) and they were asking members of the general public questions. One question really: ‘If you could have any superhero powers, what would they be and why?’
Now, you’d think to two slightly geeky 20-somethings with a bit of knowledge about these things we’d have come up with witty, highly intelligent answers which would endear us to the nation and lead not only to fame a fortune but hopefully our own TV show. Sadly, no.
Our answers were as follows:
Duncan - ‘I’d probably be able to fly so I could fly around the world (unnecessary hand gesture) and turn back time like Superman.’
Jennie - ‘I’d probably be invisible so I could sneak around places, like locker rooms and also steal things.’
No word of a lie. I told the general population that if I could do anything in the world it would be to spy on naked men and steal things from shops. The worst thing about it is that was a complete fabrication - if I could have any power I’d have the power to change my appearance at will.
So, if you fancy a laugh you should most definitely tune in to Richard and Judy tomorrow at 5. I’m so mortified.
Diagnosis Murder today is about a man going around killing clowns. I think TV is getting weirder.
