Quotes du Jour
As I seem to be collecting more and more of these, it's only right that they should be given their own section of my strange little world.
"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in PINK. I believe that loving is the best calorie burner. I believe in French kissing. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles" - Audrey Hepburn
'"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not." - Yoda
'"I'm contemplating thinking about thinking. It's overrated, just get another drink in" - Robbie Williams
'"People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."- Isaac Asimov
'"There's plenty of people getting their insert banned word of choice here together and leading healthy lives these days. Someone has to be responsible for keeping alive the arts of drunkeness and debauchery. Some day in the future, little will be known of such ways. Let's make sure those that follow in the years to come look back at such behaviour and say: "What the insert banned word of choice here were these people up to?"'
- Anon
Beer
"To be nobody - but yourself - in a world that is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight" - e. e. cummings
"To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing" - Elbert Hubbard
"With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. " - Anon

MY LIFE..

A multi-coloured, bright pair of socks

Well I've just about got the hang of this GuideML lark now, and this picture here is to represent my love of all things stripey. Especially socks. And if it's sparkly and stripey, then so much the better. I think underneath this strange exterior lies a bit of a diva . Hobbies / obsessions include James Dean Bradfield (although not without the Gibson), Dave Grohl, Flea, blood, obscure scientific journals that nobody apart from me seems to read, shouting at doctors (cos let's face it, they deserve it), Tequila and *very* loud - preferably live - music (which my neighbours will attest to devil ). I love cats and dogs equally but prefer horses to both, and despise both tea and coffee yet have a major caffeine addiction. I think that's all for now. Ye know too much...

and now for the science bit...

Through my job, this subject is dear to my heart. Yup, we're talking about Donating Blood. Did you know that at any one time, the National Blood Service only has enough blood in stock to meet demand for 10 days?. It's painless, quick and who knows, you might just make a difference to somebody's life. Of course, some people aren't allowed to donate blood. To find out if you're one of them, click here


MY UNIVERSE...

I'll write something here when I can think of something suitably zen-like and profound. But I wouldn't go holding your breath. Random Stuff will probably appear when I've had a few ale 's too many and feel like adding a few alcohol-fueled ramblings about the utter futility of it all. Or something.

... And here it is. I am as suprised as anyone to find myself one half of a marital unit. That's not to say that this one time party-loving, hell-raising, beer-drinking riot girl has turned into a cookie-baking stepford wife. Hell no. I've just been lucky enough to find a partner in crime loveblush who'll help me hide the bodies...

"I swear I'll never give in, I refuse" - Foo Fighters - 'The best of you'

A year and a half ago, I got diagnosed with a severe pre cancerous condition. Two operations and a painful procedure later, I'm still here goddammit. The above quote means a lot to me. Dave Grohl is my personal Jesus. Is someone getting the best of you?


EVERYTHING...Else

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
—Marilyn Monroe
'By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying -
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying'
- Dorothy Parker
'Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?' - Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Fortune Faded'

Too late for me, but... (Oct 26, 2007)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7062479.stm

If it prevents even one person having to go through what I (and my husband) have, then it will have been worthwhile.

Overheard at work... (Apr 26, 2007)
Colleagues #1 and #2 are discussing a friend of colleague #1 who won a sum on the Grand National by betting on the winner.

Colleague #1: 'He says he picked that horse because Silver Birch is the name of his spirit guide'

<aside> WTF?? </aside>

Upon hearing that, Colleague #2 is silent for a few minutes, with an expression of intense concentration.

Finally....

Colleague #2: 'So, you're saying his spirit guide's a racehorse?'

Cue SLG having to exit lab in rather a hurry to disguise the fact that I'm <roflmao>.

Have *you* seen my motivation? Reward offered. (Jan 20, 2006)
Boredom sets in. I *could* go and sterilise the freezing covers. They need doing. But I can't be arsed. I will do it. Just not now. I *could* go and get some lunch. But apparently being mildly hungry isn't enough to motivate me to move. Apathy. Gotta love it.

Chav Nativity... (Dec 2, 2005)
There's this bird called Mary, yeah? She's a virgin (wossat then?)
She's not married or nuffink, but she's got this boyfriend, Joe, innit? He
does joinery an' that. Mary lives with him in a crib dahn Nazaref.

One day Mary meets this bloke Gabriel. She's like `Oo ya lookin at?'
Gabriel just goes 'You got one up the duff, you have.' Mary's totally
gobsmacked. She gives it to him large 'Stop dissin' me yeah? I ain't no
Kappa-slapper. I never bin wiv no one!'

So Mary goes and sees her cousin Liz, who's six months gone herself.
Liz is largin' it. She's filled with spirits, Barcardi Breezers an'
that.

She's like 'Orright, Mary, I can feel me bay-bee in me tummy and I
reckon I'm well blessed. Think of all the extra benefits an' that we
are gonna get.' Mary goes 'Yeah, s'pose you're right'

Mary an' Joe ain't got no money so they have to ponse a donkey, an' go
dahn Bethlehem on that. They get to this pub an' Mary wants to stop,
yeah? To have her bay-bee an' that.

But there ain't no room at the inn, innit? So Mary an' Joe break an' enter into
this garridge, only it's filled wiv animals. Cahs an' sheep an' that.

Then these three geezers turn up, looking proper bling, wiv crowns on
their heads. They're like `Respect, bay-bee Jesus', an' say they're
wise men from the East End.

Joe goes: 'If you're so wise, wotchoo doin' wiv this Frankenstein an'
myrrh? Why dincha just bring gold, Adidas and Burberry?' It's all about
to kick off when Gabriel turns up again an' sez he's got another message
from this Lord geezer.

He's like 'The police is comin an' they're killin all the bay-bees. You better
nash off to Egypt.' Joe goes 'You must be monged if you think I'm goin' dahn
Egypt on a minging donkey'

Gabriel sez 'Suit yerself, pal. But it's your look out if you stay.' So
they go dahn Egypt till they've stopped killin the first-born an' it's
safe an' that.

Then Joe and Mary and Jesus go back to Nazaref, an' Jesus turns water into
Stella.

APPY CRIMBO

I'd laugh if it wasn't so close to home (well, close-ish. Romford's two stops away rofl )
