MJ

So numb. In a daze. Can't believe he's gone. I don't know what's ahead now.

Blogging From Bed

I'm on the verge on coming down with something.in the past couple of hours i have gone form the odd sniffle to feeling completely drained and having no energy even though I didn't have a very taxing day in the slightest. This sucks.

I need to go out running. I went for a two mile run on Sunday and walked about half of it. i've got a 5k run in August and a 10k run in September to prepare for but my immediate goal is to run the whole 2 mile route without stopping to walk. I shall do it. Unfortunately I don't know if I even have the energy to drag my carcass to the supermarket later for some Beechams nevermind pounding the street of Saff London.

So for the time being I shall continue to lie in bed. Reading ("A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey) and waiting on a director or two to call me with the outcome of last night's auditions. I audition for two play (with the same theatre company) and there is one role in particular that I really want. It's a lead role and it will be tough to do but I think I can do it and I really want it. Trying to be positive but it doesn't help knowing that a former actress/current drama teachers auditioned after me. Not fair. If you're a professional actor then go audition for a professional production. Leave us amateurs to the amdram. Grrrr!

Tomorrow I'm havin a psychic reading done for a TV show. I have all this free time and can't afford to do anythign with it so I signed up for this recording. It's something do after all, which beats sitting in, being bored, losing the plot and obsessing about things I shouldn't obsess about.

Dancey Dancey

I;ve just got in from a night out. Not drunk but I',m tired and weary so I feel a little drunk. I did a bit of chatting up and some dirty dancing so it was a good night. Helped that there was some good music playing. I don't need any trendy electro trance beats or shite like that. Give me Beyonce, Pussycat Dolls, Shakira Shakira, Lady Gaga and sme vintage Whitney Houston and I can be found throwing shapes on the dancefloor like a madwoman. And I had a lot of fun doing it. it felt good to let go and dance myself dizzy with my girlfriends. It also didn't hurt that I teased some of the boys my (sometimes) dirty move. I am naughty.

Anyway, I need to wake up in fours hours to shower, get ready and travel to the shooting of some viral. I have not idea what it's about. Something involving a free runner and apparently I'm going to be "right up in the middle of the action". It's something to do, innit?! So I should have not gone out (but I had too, my friend is going back to Australia to sort out her visa) but gone to bed early to I would be chipper in the morning and looking halfway decent. Not a chance now!

Strange Survey

Stolen from L.J.

Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?::
No. You sick fucker!

What's the largest age difference between yourself and someone you've dated?::
Nine years. In the end I was the more mature one despite my lack of experience and naiveness.

Ever been in a car wreck?::
No.
Edit: I was in a bus crash. Well, a car drove into the back of the bus taking us to school. If that counts.

Were you popular in high school?::
I was well known to everyone but didn't have any close friends.

Have you ever been on a blind date?::
No.

Are looks important?::
Of course. I'm lookist.

Do you have any friends that you've known for ten years or more??::
As of Summer 2008, yes!

Does the number of people a person's slept with affect your view of them?::
Not really. It's probably more the manner in which they sleep around which affects my view. If no one's getting hurt and they use protection then that's fine. But if they're playing with people's feelings and/or doing it bareback then that's another thing.

Are you a good tipper?::
Depends on the place and the service. I am a very good stripper.

What's the most you have spent for a haircut?::
£50 I think? I think I might have spent more having it straightened once but can't remember the cost.
Ohhh... spent £70 having it braided (with extensions). I'd like to do that again, but not have them as long this time.

Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?::
No. I think I appreciated my GCSE French teacher but never had a thundering crush on him.

Have you ever peed in public?::
Not since I was a child. I will have no problem peeing in public next time I run a marathon. I am not adding 15 minutes to my race time because I had to queue for a portaloo.

What song do you want played at your funeral?::
Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. And an MJ song.

What would your last meal be before getting executed?::
Curry chips. Pizza.

Beatles or Stones?::
Stones. Don't like them that much but preferable to the Beatles.

Beer, wine or hard liquor?::
None of them really. I'm 99% teetotal.

Do you have any phobias?::
Death, water, oversized tube signs. Really really loud noises.

What are your plans for the future?::
Fuck knows. Do a job I like, be more creative.

Do you walk around the house naked?::
No. Didn't do it in my last flat where i lived by myself and I certainly don't do it now that I live with someone again.

Hair color you like on someone you're dating?::
I've no preference but the guys I've always been interested in/dated have had brown hair. Light brown more than dark brown.

Do you have any special talents?::
No. I'm crap.

What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?::
Go to the living room, throw myself down on a sofa and chat to Ellie who is very likely to be there.

Are you missing anyone?::
Aye.

If you weren't straight, what person of the same sex would you do?::
Dunno. I have a big crush on Shakira but I don't think I want to do her.

Where do you want to live when you are old?::
Brazil, San Diego or somewhere else. Will depend on who I marry and grow old with.

Who is the person you can count on the most?::
My fwends.

What did you dream last night?::
I had crazy dreams but can't remember them. Earlier in the week I dreamt that I was pregnant.

Are you named after anyone?::
Blessed Imelda. She has never been made a Saint (yet).

What is your favorite alcoholic drink?::
Vodka Ice, Strawberry Daquari. The alcohol in those drinks isn't strong enough to make me gag. Champagne stinks but I like it because a little bit makes me very merry.

Non alcoholic drink?::
Coca Cola. Of coooooourse!

Have you ever been in love?::
Aye.

Do you sing in the shower?::
No. But for a long time I took baths nad only showered at the gym. Now I live in a flat with a shower I might start doing that.

Have you ever been arrested?::
No but was kinda threatened of arrest by Constable Sawar outside MJ's hotel once for using bad language.

Would you ever get plastic surgery?::
Yes. I want to have the biggest boobs in the world.

10K September

I'm going to do a 10K run on September 6th. That means I have 12 weeks to get fit and in shape again. I've done hardly any exercise for months and months and months. Being in hospital last year really ran me down and I've never got around to being active again. Until now. There's a 5k I can do early August so shall work towards running that without stopping and then move onto the 10K a month later.

That's a plan.

Getting Back To It All

We finally have internet in the flat. We've had it for about 5 days now but I still can't get it on my own computer yet so I am couching over Ellie's mac at the moment. We order some thing (techie speak there) to plug into my PC and hopefully onc that is done I should be able to pick up the wireless connection.

I'm hoping I can start to get things back on track now. There's so much to do and sort out with finding work and money etc. I also have an onslaught of emotional stuff to deal with and I've just felt worn out this past month. I'm making someplans in my mind. I'm considering starting a new blog, a better blog maybe (I've recently discovered my friend Jess's blog and it is way more interesting and fun to look at than mine!) and I'm also considering doing some volunteering to stop me from going crazy with boredom in my jobless state. Can't sit indoors wallowing all day long. I need to get active again.

It's a start at least....
