6/28/2007 Toast just isn't the same as that meal...Do excuse my last entry. I was very happy and ever so slightly pickled. I think I went through my phone book and rung/text a lot of people... do you get the impression that I was chuffed by any chance?!!! Still happy today
 I had the best food last night. The cricket was cancelled so we went up to the Smokey House and I had something that wasn't on the menu (privileged!) - it was chicken with cranberry and had some sort of creamy cheesey mushroomy/mustardy sauce. Honestly it was the best food I've eaten in years and years.
Anyways, time to work hard. I suppose. Hm, think I'll visit the toaster first though.... ehem.
Oh and I'm giving up alcohol. I've decided. 6/27/2007 MAAT Hoooooraaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!You know what? I might be slightly pickled but I'm a happy slightly pickled person. I got elected into the AAT and can now use MAAT after my name! That probably isn't much to most people but to me that's a few years of solid hard work rewarded! HURRAH!!!! HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ms Melanie Elizabeth Philpott MAAT BSc (Hons) HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Happy happy happy! :D 6/26/2007 TunaI'd like to bash that Charley girl on Big Brother with a tuna steak. Oh no, hang on, I quite like tuna. Hm. Perhaps not then. 6/25/2007 Scary Film + Sleep = NightmareOooooo scary dream last night. I was a muppet and went to bed watching The Haunting. Just the thing to do when you're in a flat that makes lots of strange noises and is, in fact, haunted (honest). And did I have a bad dream? Hell yeah! I dreampt I had a baby...!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I was having a big row with the father (whoever he was!) about names. I wanted to call it Bethan or something (bit of a family name tradition thing). I woke up in a very cold sweat indeed. 6/24/2007 I am no longer a boob tube virginBefore I start, I need to make tea. Hang on.
Right, I'm back. When did I last post? I have no idea! I've had a brilliant few days! My bank is going to be cross (actually, no, they'll love the interest charges. It's another excuse not to book driving lessons! Phew!).
**Update: I've forgotten my online banking password so can't look at either my credit card or bank balances. Oops. What you can't see.....**
Anyways, it started on Thursday with an Amy Winehouse gig. She is amazing live. I saw her 2nd Glastonbury set on telly and she was WAY better in Bristol. She was amazing.
Then what happened? Well Friday felt like Sunday so when I woke up on Saturday it felt like it should have been Monday! So I started another weekend all over again! Wooo! Brilliant feeling.
Went out last night with Sophia - and I'm sorry but I have to declare that Bohemia will NOT be on my lists of places to go to in the future. I thought it was pretty cack if I'm honest. Both rooms played the same sort of music (which really suprised me) and the upstairs bit was soooo bright! How are you supposed to swing your pants (i.e. dance) without a bit of darkness? I didn't even try and get to the bar, it was heaving. And then I suddenly got bored and just decided to leave. Oh, and in a brainwave I decided to walk home. In shoes that hurt and without a coat. Hm. Not exactly the most thought out of plans.... In the end I wobbled home chatting to my mate Tom on the phone. What a star he is. I'm not entirely sure what I was saying, what with being, um, slightly merry. Plus how he could have saved me from some random attacker I have NO idea. But you know, it was nice to natter to someone about potato waffles at 2am (in the pouring rain)... AND the most exciting thing is that I am no longer a boob tube virgin. Oh no. The whole "It'll fall down and reveal my bra" fear has been conquered. Woo! Sure that was because I attached the top to the bra with a bit of fabulous stitchery... What a sensible thing to do yes? The problem was getting undressed at the end of the night and not understanding why I couldn't get the top off. You can imagine. Top pulled over head and then muffled "er..arrr...errm...I'm stuck" to no one in particular. A bit like a Crypton Factor game only with spotty fabric and an underwired bra... I won of course. The prize? A nice cup of tea and a little lay down....
Oh hang on. Gross. I'm watching Big Brother and thingie is just telling wotnot (I'm great with names) how he'd get it on with a girlie. GROSS. I'm going to puke. She's so mean to him, he's soooo naive! And what's with Ziggy dumping Chanel and then not? I mean, she should kick him into touch. But they do have the same sort of hair so maybe they are meant to be (I saw a couple at the pub this afternoon who looked more like brother and sister than husband and wife so I have a theory forming). Who knows. Who cares? Um. Me! Haha!
Right, I'm off to watch 28 days later. It looks horribly violent so perhaps I'll not be watching much of it... Ooo naked man getting out of a hospital bed. Byeee! x
p.s. I forgot to say that I had a dream last night that I was in Footballers Wives (?) and whilst all the others were drinking I sneaked off and made a cup of tea - but it had to be a secret or I'd be sent to Coventry. Weird or what?! I've only ever seen one episode of it?!! 6/19/2007 Would you get it on with a Question Mark?!Today I received a proposition of 'fun' via the internet from a chap somewhere in Devon. Um. Right. Obviously I haven't responded because, well, I want me some of that 'coupley' stuff that can prelude a roll in the hay (well, in an ideal world anyway) and to be brutally honest I wouldn't want to be going getting it on with someone whose head look likes a giant Question Mark (he had no photo..). But I was curious regardless so I took a look at his profile description, part of which said:
"...i am looking for a girl i dont mind what colour hair i do love girls with long hair or eyes..."
So basically this chap likes girls with long hair or eyes. Um? Not particulalry picky then!!! It did start an interesting discussion in the office about social networking/online dating and so forth though.
A bizarre day it has been.
6/18/2007 Potential new career path?I've had some random dreams of late. Well last night I was trying not to be killed by some crazy murder obsessed teenagers in a high school. And I say high school because it was set in America for some reason. Very strange. But the dream I had the night before was ace. Basically I was an FBI agent in CSI. We stopped a truck and arrested a bloke who looked dodgy. When we looked in the back of the truck there were about 20 kids hiding there. We thought that they had been kidnapped but then this meddling social worker lady arrived and stuck her oar in. The children didn't want to want to see their parents for some reason but this social worker called all the parents in to the room and the children all freaked out. Turns out they'd run away but before I could find out why I woke up! Thanks neighbour! He rolled in at ten to five but couldn't get in so bashed the door until everyone, including his missus, woke up. Yeah, thanks for that. Ten to five on a Sunday. With a hangover. Grrr! 6/15/2007 Emergency Sock StashI'm sooooooo tired! I can't wait to get home and sleep until I wake up (without the aid of an alarm clock)!! It's been a funny old week and my insomnia decided it'd better make an appearance. Jolly convenient that. So long as I can drop off tonight I'll be a happy bunny.
I got tickets for T4 on the beach last night! Hurrah! And it's Amy Winehouse next week! Very excited!
I've not got a lot else to say really. Oh except that I'm so glad I wore flip flops today. What with it being cold and rainy and all. My toes may well fall off. I am fighting the urge to break into my emergency sock stash (yes, I have spare socks in my drawer for just such an occasion).
Roll on half five... 6/13/2007 Did you know you can get high heeled slippers?Hallo. Just a quicky. I'm having a late one and thought it's been a while since I last said anything here... But now I'm here I'm not sure what to ramble about. I had a nice pot of tea in the pub tonight. But now, looking at my 'minutes' I'm slightly concerned. I've kind of scribbled all over the agenda. Ehem. And my handwriting is awful I can't read half of it... Oops?? I have, however, minuted the conversation we all had during 'any other business' about wearing high heels (did you know that you can get high heeled slippers? I didn't), House of Fraser and dating websites. And yes, I think I am going to put that on the minutes because, well, because I can!!! Secretarial Privileges! HA!
I heard the funniest thing tonight. One of the committee had a cigarette before the meeting but then as we left made the statement "I can't stand cigarette smoke, I can't breathe with it". Erm...?!
I officially finished my course one hour and one minute ago (that was the cut-off time for the final assignment). That's a kind of a landmark. At one point I wasn't sure I would finish - December time it all went on hold and I remained behind from then on really. But hurrah! I even completed with a day to spare. Nothing like cutting it fine... ehem.
Ach, I need to go to bed. Night! xx
Moody ghost or fish?It looks as though I'll have to avoid my resident flat ghost (well, I don't know if she's flat, probably more sort of floaty) today according to my horoscope today:
"Stress might be getting the better of a member of your household today, dear Virgo. This person is feeling especially volatile emotionally, and the least little irritation could set off a temper tantrum. Try to ease the pressure by staying out of the way - and don't offer advice, however well intentioned it should be. This person needs to come to terms with whatever may be bothering him or her. So distance yourself and do your own thing!"
Either that or the fish could be in a moody. 6/5/2007 RAA!I'm sorry but I've turned on Big Brother for the first time since Friday and I want to STRANGLE all the girls in there. Especially that one that's just had a big fat strop about hair straighteners. For GODS SAKE. GET A LIFE! "Natural curl to my hair". Oh how awful. How will she cope? I mean really. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
And what's the verdict on the man? Well he's seems well spoken but really they need to put a buff dark haired chappie in there please. And HURRY UP ABOUT IT.
Oh my god, they were just trying to rip his shorts off. THAT got my attention! So fickle! Haha!
I need a hair cut. Think I'll make an appointment tomorrow. Good idea.
Right, I really ought to go and study. Yawn. The deadline is next Wednesday and then I've finished the course! Wooooooo! Melanie SafkaI was named after her.... cracking song. I remember having skates that you strapped to your shoes. Those were the good old days.

I got a brand new pair of roller skates You got a brand new key 6/4/2007 Oooblie doooo ramble ramble la.I just had a race. Me, paint and the bathroom wall versus the pizza in the oven. I won. It did help that I had forgotten to put the pizza in to actually cook. Ehem. Train journey on Saturday:
I then gave my seat up for a granny and her granddaughter so they could sit together. To balance out the karma. Then I helped an old man with his bags. Maximum karma points for moi! But honestly, I got the right hump on the train. Train journey home: "Oh my god. This bloke is playing music really loudly on the train. First it was rap stuff so thought 'How annoying but best say nout or he'll, erm, shoot me' (not being stereotypical or anything). But now he's listening to.... wait for it...the uk's eurovision entry for this year...erm?!?! I almost said something. I did look at him with raised eyebrows. Eurovision pop is NOT cool. I'll stick on Embrace VERY loudly now I think...Xx" "Can you not just strangle him with your ipod cord????X" "I don't want to damage my ipod...I could bash him with my book? It's from the library so won't be ruining MY property with blood. He keeps staring at me. Do you think he's a psychopath? He caught me picking my spot. Hopefully that'll scare him: 'lady has sharp nails'. Creep creepy guy xx" "Do you think it would be terrible if I tell him when I get off at Exeter that he has terrible taste in music? Someone needs to tell him. It's a crime x" "Not @ all! Tell him! Hee hee x" "Now he's listening to a slushy song by yummy thingie inglesias. Erm. But he's got his feet on the chair. Such a rebel...A confused lad..." "Sat at exeter charging my ipod with their electric...getting value from my ticket! What is it about me, travel and a smelly armpit? I mean. If I was with the australian immigration they'd refuse me entrance and demand I took a shower! I got excited because twotrains just joined. That's justplain tragic. Pls tell donna that her work is fabbo xx" [You should be aware that we watched a programme about the Australian immigration service and this guy was refused entry... pretty much because he was stinky] "Lol, it's alright just as long as you aint got cocaine shoved up your arse!! Any tea about??? X" "Nope. No no tea up my bum! Haha! Did try smoking it once though. On train to tosse now. Sorry, Torre, but 'tosse' is the predictive word and is slightly more appropriate. Buff guy on train. He said 'bye, love you, see you at xmas' on phone. He obviously knows already that I plan to bundle him into my bag and steal him for the rest of the year. Ooo can smell the toilet on this train from where I'm sitting. Ming. The wheels on the train go, um, wrong song x" "What you on?? Obviously been sniffing the toilet for far tooooo long! What don't you woo buff man with your can of semonlina???! X" "'Why hello you tanned thing. How about you take a wee looky in your human-sized rucksac for a little can opener and help out a damsel in distress?' <eyelash flutter>. No, I couldn't. I think I have a bogie in my nose and can't fish it out discretely! Arg! The man he is safe. Anyways, i'm off men. Today x" "Having just said that, tasty bloke on at newton. Passed Dawlish golf course and thought 'they're big golf bags..' then realised two men were putting the wheelie bins out. Doh! At tosseville, let the wander begin. Need a wee...x" I was bored on the journey. Can you tell? Right. Time for tea. Will tell you about painting tomorrow. 6/2/2007 ARG!I saw the spider again at 1am last night....ARG! I just sat on the end of my bed to reply to a text and it was crawling down the wall. ARG!! But be impressed. I stayed calm, caught it and flung it out the window (I have a 'spider capture kit' to hand..seriously! It consists of a pint glass, various things to slide under said pint glass and a thin hard back book. Oh, and some killer spray in case I completely freak out! A girl living alone with no strapping lad to hand to protect her has to be prepared! Jim very helpfully said last night "You need a man for that" (says the guy who was taking several hours preparing sandwiches for 30 of Norwich's finest cricketers...shouldn't comment, I would make myself sound sexist. I just hope he wore his pinny! Haha! Anyways, where was I? Ah yes "You need a man for that". No, really? Well actually, no I don't now because I am Ace Spider Capturer Extraordinaire!), . It's slightly pathetic but I'm quite proud of myself, even if I did carry on shaking for over half an hour afterwards! Needless to say that I'm happy I am catching a lunchtime train today instead of the one I was going to catch at the crack of dawn! Thinking about it, though, had I of gone to bed at a sensilble time I wouldn't have seen that evil arachnid and it'd still be roaming around my flat. Who says things don't happen for a reason?!
Right, I've got to go. I have important things to get done before I go. Such as:
a) decide what bag will be best to take my stuff away in
b) decide on footwear because the weather is looking odd
c) make some lunch for the train. No, rephrase. Make some lunch for me to eat on the train (trains don't eat cheese rolls)
d) feed the fish
e) stop wasting time and get on with it.
Have a good weekend! xx |
