A Princey Weekend

I'm sitting here overdosing on Prince music and I'm seeing him again tomorrow night/tonight and Saturday night too. I'm going with Jen on Friday which will be a lot of fun as it will be her first Prince concert and it will be fun to see her reaction to the show. Again, I will be saying a decade of the Rosary so that he will perform "Gold". I think I would melt into a puddle of tears if he did that. I also be going to another aftershow party after the Saturday show and hopefully this time I'll have much more energy and be less stressed and be able to enjoy the show and won't miss out by slumping against a pillar at the back for most of the night. Listening to the show with my head in my hands wasn't bad but I imagine it would have been much more fun seeing Mr Nelson funk his way around the stage all night in his orange feather hat.

I'm also pondering whether or not I should get a digital camera this weekend. It would be very useful to have but I'm just too gutless to spend that much amount of money in one go. Plus I'd have to use some of my savings fund and I quite like the thought of having that money and not touching it. But then that isn't very fun is it? Then again, I could also use that money to pay for a month's membership at Bikram yoga which would also be useful, but I'd had nothing to show for spending that money apart from my health and a hot bod. Which do I want more? Hot body or apparatus that takes pics of my current flabby body....

I Am Tired.

The Move is over now and things are beginning to settle down despite there being some hiccups with my heating system which are still ongoing. I'm trying to relaxing now about it as stressing only wears me out. Most of my stuff is still in boxes as I've realised there is a lack of storage space in this new place. I didn't help things by leaving behind my shelves and the bookcase form the old flat but I couldn't take everything with me in the van. I'll survive. It'll just be an excuse for me to go shopping. I'm actually looking forward to decorating and picking colours and then choosing matching cushions, throws, pictures etc. it will help me settle into this new place and warm to it. I found a shop yesterday that I will definitely return to when I have more money, but in the meantime I purchased some candles (lavender candle burning now), jewelry and a froggy money bank. Small touches, but they help make this place more "mine".

I have been completely knackered and run down week from everything that has happened and now I'm looking forward to getting healthy, being more active and getting on with the various rehearsals, auditions and next months fundraising party. Slightly worried about the Fundraiser because there's a very strong possibility that along with some other members of my drama group, I will be throwing myself to the lions onstage in a bit of comedy impro. This should be car crash viewing! However, I'm going to try to be positive, get in great physical & mental shape so I'll feel less self-conscious on stgae and free up space in my brain to let all the funnies pour out. Say a prayer for me.

PS: Due to my annoying phone compnay, my broadband connection has been delayed TWICE now and I won't have it until September 3rd. I'm on dial-up now and I'm not a happy bunny!

Chaos & Disorder

...is how I'd best describe my life at the moment. And it's not coincidence that this blog title also happens to be the title of a Prince song. Last Saturday me & my friends spent a very enjoyable 2 hours in the presence of the man and his guitar. And his cool little headband. If you're in London over the next 5 weeks make sure to get a ticket to his show. This man is so cool, he is the sex and I want to be him. I loved it so much, me & Ellie are now planning to go back several times (next Saturday included) and have even booked ourselves som tickets for an aftershow party too. Hey funky London indeed!

A little era is coming to an end soon as I have to move out of my flat next week, most likely next Sunday when we crawl back home after the Prince aftershow. Maybe the lack of sleep will make things easier. I have reluctantly began packing up all my stuff and am still facing the daunting task of wading through all the crap I have accumulated over the year and being ruthless with what I decide to keep and throw out. Why was I born a hoarder?

I'm trying to be philosophical about it all. Yes, it's an opportunity the clear out all the rubbish cluttering up my mind and my life and start afresh. With my birthday tomorrow, I'm looking at it all as a new era now. I've been reading in various horoscopes about this time in my (Leos) life being the end of a troubling 2 year priod and that pesky Saturn will be leaving my sign (on September 2nd) and it's departure should bring better times. While I always think horoscopes are a bit of fun and take them with a pinch of salt, I will admit that the past 2 years HAVE been difficult and a lot of worries and frustration have arose in that time. Even if this Saturn stuff is complete bollocks, it's encouraging to see something else out there pointing in the same direction of where I am right now and where I hope to be in life. Maybe everything's meant to be this way for a reason... Please God (or whomever), don't let me still be in the exact same place as I am now in 12 months time!

Right, enough of this wishy-washy life-changing guff. Wish me a Happy Birthday and send me money!!! ;-)
