3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	14,June,2004	Stuart's new housemate, Matt (a Sex Pistols fan) slagged off Yazoo yesterday. Unprovoked, uncalled for. Other bands that you're not allowed to slag off in front of me (and, believe me, a lot of people do): 1. Crowded House (as before, ad infinitum) 2. Adam and the Ants (ditto) 3. Blur (too much hatred towards this lot, none of it justified) 4. The Longpigs 5. Anyone want to add their own here?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	10,June,2004	Pato's sure-fire means of pissing off Les Bleus/Les Supporters: Zidane saved your bacon last night – Zidane vous a tiré du pétrin hier soir Jammy! Quel coup de pot! Emile Heskey is a rollerskating donkey – Emile Heskey est un âne qui fait le rollerskating
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	10,June,2004	I made brownies yesterday, which turned out to be the best thing I've ever baked. I had to walk round Waitrose with the recipe (ripped out of the Observer Magazine) inconspicuously lining the bottom of my basket (in order to avoid being laughed at like the people Stuart saw marching round Waitrose with an entire Guardian supplement shouting to each other across the aisles, 'They said SEA BASS!!'). I shouldn't have made them, though. They contain an entire pack of Anchor and they're sitting on my desk in a tupperware box with no chance of staying there, if my ravenous appetite gets the better of me.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	10,June,2004	Nice nickname, Thierry: 'Enfin, quelques secondes après, nous avons eu la chance que 'Titi' (Henry) se fasse bousculer dans la surface' (Zidane)
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	10,June,2004	I wouldn't mind the French beating us and then gloating on our asses if they were actually a nation of football enthusiasts, but they're not (memories of ma corres Francaise shouting 'on a gagné!' while covering her wall with posters of a balding Zizou - in 1999). Stuart visited L'Equipe last night to read the inevitable 'on a lutté jusqu'a la fin contre les anglais' match synopsis, and wasn't disappointed. Santini: 'Our superior tactics won out', apparently.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	10,June,2004	I just booked a hair appointment. A week on Saturday I shall no longer be a redhead, I'll be a brunette (with red tendencies). Here's to dismal failure. Interestingly enough, I just got hit on by the hairdresser (this never happens). Whilst waiting for my hair consultation, a male who had been staring at me approached me and said, 'Can I cut your hair? I want to give you a blunt fringe. Those eyes, I could lose myself in them. You need a blunt fringe to bring out your eyes'. Now, I'm not sure if this was 'the hard sell' or 'can I have your number?' but I assumed a semi-bitchface and said 'I'm here for a colour, actually', so he left it. No point in persevering really, was there?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	09,June,2004	Furthermore, my secret theory is that people who slag off the Beatles (and there have been many on my site) never even got into them in the first place . Admit it, you guys, you're scared of not knowing as much about them as you should (the bare minimum acceptable knowledge about the Beatles is, let's face it, pretty intimidatingly huge). It's time to throw yourselves in at the deep end, buy the Red and Blue albums and the Anthology on DVD and do some homework.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	09,June,2004	This probably isn't the last time I'm going to say this to everyone but leave off The Beatles band already!! Taking potshots at the Beatles doesn't say anything extraordinary about your taste in music, other than you're yet to tap the goldmine that is the greatest oeuvre in the history of pop music. You're not allowed to like Oasis, the Roses, the Stones, Bowie, Buzzcocks, in fact any band that relied on the 3-minute pop song without first having established your favourite Beatles songs/albums/periods/haircuts. Anyone who tries to argue with me will be crucified.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	09,June,2004	I'm not voting today because I'm not registered (don't tell me off - I'm scared of Hackney coming after me for council tax). I feel a bit left out, actually. If I was voting, I'd vote for Ken for Mayor, and the Green Party at every other opportunity. Just thought you'd be interested...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	09,June,2004	If anything had happened today, I assure you, I'd have written about it. As it is, I've got 15 minutes of lunch left and have run out of internets to look at. I was meant to be going out with former workmates tonight - it's been cancelled. Feel obliged to post even though I've got nothing to say. I think I should join an orchestra/learn Arabic/take up baking/join a judo class.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	08,June,2004	Big up Catherine for giving John Gaunt a hard time on BBC London this morning!
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	Have I said something wrong? Have I wound you all up with my opining?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	Right, no more putting my neck on the line and being a musical martyr. You have a choice. You can either come to Pato's DJ extravanganza/rifle through Al's record collection/listen to me on my blog, or you can carry on stabbing in the dark. (Take this with a huge pinch of salt).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	All my life I've been accused of being an inverse snob. Maybe this is my problem with XFM. I can't let the existing white/indie/male/guitar hegemony lie. XFM in the morning is bad because (a) it treats tunes by bands such as Kula Shaker as important historical documents, when everyone knows that any residual memory of this incredibly unimportant group will be wiped out within 10 years (I hope) and (b) it is incredibly lazy in terms of what it can be arsed giving an airing. So while Jo Whiley tries to educate the pitifully educated masses by playing Superstition (okay, it's a cliche but when most people don't know anything by Stevie Wonder, it's a start) XFM are undoing her hard work by airing Snow Patrol, Scissor Sisters and other such undeserving shite. How are people meant to know what's worth listening to when radio stations/the media consider Keane groundbreaking?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	Dear XFM, Even in the realm of white male indie rock, better tunes exist than Hey Dude by Kula Shaker (well, you'd have thought so). And, tell me to fuck off if you like, but nothing is more likely to make me turn off the radio than, 'After the break, a brilliant record by the Scissor Sisters'... All the best, Laura x
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	XFM is so white! I mean, I'm pale and pasty at the best of times but I like to hear stuff other than caucasian indie male rock. And shite covers of Wonderwall.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	I'm listening to XFM. Started promisingly - Killing Moon and some Elliot Smith. Degenerated - Jet. I urge everyone who visits to trash any Jet single that comes your way (just like our ex-colleague Chris Evans did when he threw a promo copy of their album out of the office window over a year ago).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	04,June,2004	I got funds. I'm getting pissed! Show me the JD! (Read: I'll have half a Hoegaarden and give up).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	03,June,2004	Anyone else listening to the tennis...?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	03,June,2004	I just updated my profile (eyes left). My list of favourite music suggests that I have no idea what I like listening to and I'm constantly stabbing in an aesthetic white-noise wilderness. I've also just been 'insufficiently funded' for about the first time in a year - hardly surprising seeing as I've had to make 9 days pay last a month, run a car, make 9 more days pay last a month next month... I can't help being a contractor!! I'm going to have to give my bank manager a cuddle...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	03,June,2004	We're going to a thing tonight. The After Work Club. The flyer looks promising - (containing as it does pictures of both bands and labels) - Outkast, Morrissey, Dylan, Prince, The Supremes and Blondie with Tamla Motown, Stax and 2-Tone logos (presumably they thought people wouldn't recognise Isaac Hayes). We'll be there from about 6.30 - Basement Bar (Goslett Yard) off Charing Cross Road. In the words of Al & co. 'Should be a peach'.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	03,June,2004	urlLink What a pompous twat.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	Can someone who isn't at work (Jane??) follow the link at the top of my blog to the 'Belly Gallery'? I'm scared it's a specialist thing, but it could equally be a page devoted to Jimmy Five Bellies or the like, in which case I'm intrigued. Talking of Five Bellies, wasn't it only about 8 years ago (8 years?!?!?!) that Gazza, Baker, Evans and Jimmy were the most famous people in Britain? Is there any way of turning the clock back??
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	Things that improve every time I think about them (which, admittedly, is all the time): 1. Hell's Kitchen. Loving the fact that Abi Titmuss is actually quite a boring and earnest try-hard, and that she got kicked out instead of the embarrassing Currie. I'm also amazed that Jennifer Ellison is Gordon's 'off the record' star of the kitchen and looks about 12 . You men are soooo baaaaad.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	So I've got a bit of time due to having an hour for lunch but I've got fuck all to write about. For all the fat guts out there - I've nearly eaten a whole Ben's Cookie . Of course I didn't have a sandwich and I'm appeasing my food neuroses by eating myriad pieces of fruit.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	Things that are still excellent today: 1. Hell's Kitchen. The best reality TV show I've ever seen (and I've seen them all). 2. The Guardian. I bought it for the first time in ages today and there was some excellent anti-Kilroy polemic. Bravo. 3. That Ska compilation which I'm re-listening to. 4. Our new car - despite the parking issues and the fact that we've locked it into the garage for the weekend with no visible means of getting it out.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	This week I trust you'll all be listening to the following: urlLink 1. This urlLink 2. This urlLink 3. This
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	Thanks to Jamie and Emma for the 24-hr non-stop BBQ over the weekend. Am sat contemplating the effects of our overconsumption on the air quality in East Oxford (and my distended belly).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	What with spending the weekend in Oxford, the Hay Festival going on at home and various London-related moans and grumbles (no money, extortionate house prices), I started to think about what life outside the metropolis would be like...came to the conclusion that it would be a lot better and a lot worse all at once.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	I haven't had any good opinions in a while. When you're not talking incessantly at/with someone who shares your concerns and woes, it's difficult to get worked up about anything. So instead I'm going to start making 'to do' lists. 1. Dye my hair. This evening, in fact. I noticed Jane had opted for a particularly daring shade of dark brown this weekend, so I figured that I could obliterate any remaining blondeness with a quick dash of Cappuccino Wash In Wash Out. If it turns out okay, I go the whole hog like Winona Ryder. 2. Watch Hells Kitchen. Don't watch Big Brother. 3. Obtain contact lenses so that I can drive (I'm illegal at the moment). And replace my lost/stolen licence. And get the pictures done. Thanks for listening...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	Us Hereford types often went drinking in urlLink Hay-On-Wye . I can confirm that there's only one cash machine serving the entire place.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	I'm addicted to Hell's Kitchen. I want one of Jennifer Ellison's 'Steak and Chips' chav specials for lunch. I also want to forget about what I read concerning Gordon Ramsay's penis.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,June,2004	Having spent £100 on the car at the weekend, we managed to get it to Oxford and back. We hit a snag at the Esso garage on Holloway Road when, try as we might, we couldn't open the petrol cap. Started to panic when 2 Bradford fans suggested breaking it with a screwdirver and 'stuffing a rag in' but they managed to force it eventually and we filled up.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	30,July,2004	I've had about six colds in as many weeks. Thinking I'd shaken them off, I woke up again this morning with a sore throat and streaming nose. I expect everyone at work knows me as 'the one with the post nasal drip'. It's embarrassing, people ask you how you are and you have to say, 'Absolutely fine' because having a cold/being a bit run down isn't being ill. And it's certainly no reason for taking time off, as far as the whole world's concerned. I've had two weeks off (on holiday) out of 52 (one of those was Christmas, when the office was closed). :(
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	29,July,2004	I'm not going to post on Why I'm Not A Filthy Tory until Al does his Ideology Est Mort post. I'm currently very excited because Edward 'Jesus Christ Nooooo!' Woodward is on Five Live. He's doing a play with Tad from Neighbours. Does anyone actually watch Neighbours these days? Things have taken a downturn. There's going to be a phone in about sex offenders. Last time there was a paedophile debate on five live (well, last time I listened to one), an old 'dear' phoned in and started on about 'them boys who do each other'. Nicky Campbell said, 'We're not talking about homosexuality here', to which she replied, 'yeah but they're all the same, their type. I wouldn't trust them not to harm our kids...'. I'll report back asap on any perncious bigotry...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	28,July,2004	I know you didn't ask, but just for the record, I'm sick of Sven Goran-Eriksson and his inability to keep his 'plonker in his pants'. He conducts his personal affairs (yes, I know they're personal, but they're also all over the news) like a fucking idiot.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	27,July,2004	Nancy Cartwright's on Five Live. I can honestly say, I never, ever get sick of hearing her interviewed/doing Bart Simpson. 'Oh My God! It's a woman!! But it's a ten year old!!'. Incredible. She's a genius.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	27,July,2004	Another peach from our friends in South Korea: New Release from EMI Korea - Best Beloved Rachmaninov I love the cut of their jib. Best AND Beloved.  I might have to phone them up one of these days and ask them how the 'setting aright' of prisoners is going now that I've OK'ed their 14CD special...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	27,July,2004	Hello. Today I've listened to Big Star (Catriona big thumbs' fave band), The Beta Band (new album) and I'm about to start on The Esteemed Orange Juice. I've also been pondering my disintegrating memory (either that or general constant tiredness). I've forgotten how to play the violin and I couldn't even remember that Nairobi was the capital of Kenya during a game of Trivial Pursuits the other day (a similar thing happened during 80s Trivial Pursuits a few months ago with Pato - I couldn't remember that Beirut was where Terry Waite was taken hostage). What can I do to ameliorate the state of my brain? Herbal remedies? Acupuncture? Ritual beatings?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	26,July,2004	Me and Pato went to see Pete Doherty playing at the launch of The Libertines exhibition on Friday night. I e-mailed some bloke from the gallery going, 'Hi, it's Laura at EMI - any chance of getting on the list?' - and lo and behold, we were on the list (power). We saw Marc Bolan and Gloria Jones' son, a very bald Luke Haines, Steve Lamacq (pah!) and various indie luminaries...but no free drink, so we left. It's probably the last time anyone'll see Pete Doherty alive. Pato kept saying, 'his skin's very good for a skag addict', which it was.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	23,July,2004	I just had my name and comment read out loud on the Five Live Film Review by Simon Mayo!! Mark Kermode agreed with me that Dougal And The Blue Cat is one of the most heartbreaking films ever made...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	22,July,2004	Me and Pato saw Heather Small and Elizabeth Wurtzel at lunchtime. Of course we broke into a club-style rendition of Proud...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	22,July,2004	Shall I get back to music? I feel safer there. Pato played Sledgehammer last night (followed by Off The Wall) - I was initially surprised and then realised that Gabriel's constructed a genius piece of soul pastiche and I should get up and dance every time I hear it. It's a brilliant, brilliant record.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	22,July,2004	There was a party here (at work) last night which I didn't attend (there's only so much drunkeness I can deal with on a schoolnight). As a consequence, no-one's in yet, not even The Man. Or maybe there's been An Attack. Which reminds me, we went to see Farenheit 9/11 the other night. Which in turn reminded  me that I spent the entirety of the middle of the month of September 2001 watching CNN through my fingers (uni hadn't reconvened) - I was constantly startled by the references to The War On An Abstract Noun, above all else. On a revolutionary tip, I also need to finish the Heat crossword so that I'm in with a chance of winning a year of free Sky Digital and fleecing The Murdoch (well, I say fleece, what I mean is 'do my bit to run his empire into the ground').
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	22,July,2004	I downloaded iTunes the other day and inadvertently signed up for the Apple Mail. Well, I say inadvertently, what I mean is, I signed up for the Apple Mail because I thought it wouldn't download properly if I didn't (paranoid, conspiracist freak that I am). It featured the following 'news' pertaining to the new iPod: A constant source of surprise, Shuffle Songs randomly plays your favorite tunes, so you never know what's coming up next. Call me a pedant, but I thought this feature had been available on all stereo equipment since the dawn of time/CDs. I'm glad I read the e-mail, though, it's the first time I've seen such a Vague News peach in a while.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	22,July,2004	Ah, the Booker T and the MGs Cricket Theme. Must be about 5 years since I heard that. Thanks the lord for Five Live...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	21,July,2004	Listening to No More Heroes on my new Stranglers best of, and being reminded of Martin Daniels on Leila's blog, I've come up with a Whatever Happened To...? list: 1. Cosmo and Dibs 2. Sarah Greene, Mark Curry, Kid Jensen, Fred Harris, Derek Griffiths* 3. Pacers 4. Bob Godfrey (is he dead?!) 5. Daley Thompson (and where's his Knighthood?)
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	19,July,2004	My favourite ever covers: 1. We Can Work It Out - Stevie Wonder 2. Walk On By - The Stranglers 3. Twist And Shout - The Beatles 4. Nothing Compares 2U - Sinead O'Connor 5. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - William Shatner
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	19,July,2004	My mum didn't say a word about my hair. Not One Word. She even took photos all weekend, and didn't leave me out.   In other news, Pato starts work here today. Expect a few posts discussing topics such as the relative merits of the music in the toilets.   And I got my phone working again, but have locked myself out. I expect it'll be up and running in about a week.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	16,July,2004	I listened to the Golf yesterday, all day long. Incredible. It was like having seven Whispering Bob Harrises in my ear for seven hours, except with driving, putting and boring sad men.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	15,July,2004	Well, I'm going to go and get my hair turned a white shade of Auburn. Be nice about it, if you see me walking down the street...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	14,July,2004	I had a dream about Didier Drogba last night. What the hell was that about?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	14,July,2004	Don't try and ring me - I'm going to be drying out my phone in an airing cupboard having spilt wine all over it last night. O2 won't give me a new one...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	14,July,2004	Big up Les Francais!! Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Les Rosbifs... urlLink For all the Francophiles in the house.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	12,July,2004	Of course I forgot Simon and Garfunkel in my list (below). urlLink Here's a thing...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	12,July,2004	I wasn't going to post about the weekend for fear of going over the top on a Partridge tip, but suffice to say the Coogan gives the place a rough ride... ...although the entire city seemed completely captivated on Saturday night when we stumbled out of the restaurant to go and see Mayor's Day fireworks into a Jazz 'n' Jewellery styles affair, replete with 'Shhhhhh!! It's magic!' shenanigans and electronica, the like of which I've not seen/heard since 1986. Favourite sight-seeing observation of the weekend: 'Hey, we're on that roundabout that Alan Partridge drives on when he's bored and doesn't have anything to do. 'I'll be honest with you, Lynn, I'm bored. That's why I'm tal-king...talk-ing...'...'
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	09,July,2004	In the Spirit Of Love And Praise, big-up the following bands/artists/composers. Disagree with me, if you dare: Blur, Harry J Allstars, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, The Monkees, The Beatles, The Specials, Pierre Boulez, Depeche Mode, Prince, WA Mozart, De La Soul, The Libertines, Francoise Hardy, Stevie Wonder, Pulp, DJ Format, Franz Ferdinand, XTC, Astrud Gilberto, John Cage, Gang Of Four, Aretha, Donna Summer, Buzzcocks, Blondie, Smokey Robinson, Gang of Four, Teenage Fanclub, Nuggets, Jacques Dutronc, The Strokes, J5, Basement Jaxx, Black Grape, Joy Division, Johann Sebastian Bach, Chemical Brothers, New Order, The Animals, Jimmy Cliff, 13th Floor Elevators, Cerrone, Curtis Mayfield, Jackie Wilson, Slade, Yazoo, Bananarama, Girls Aloud, McFly, The Slits, Giorgio Moroder, Claude Debussy, Marvin Gaye, Fine Young Cannibals, Crowded House, The Supremes, Diana Ross, The Stranglers, The Kinks, The Human League, Beastie Boys.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	08,July,2004	I've got to stop moaning about shite 'indie' out loud - I just got laughed at for letting rip on a Chris Moyles tip ('HE IS SO FUCKING IGNORANT!! HE'S LOVING SNOW PATROL!!! SHOWS HOW MUCH MUSIC HE LISTENS TO!!'). I'm a bit red-faced, truth be told. We're going to Norwich this weekend to meet up with Stuart's uni friends, two of whom are at various stages of pregnancy (one with twins). Anyone got any suggestions for 'baby talk'? Unlike my mum, I'm not a fan of babies (and I'm still traumatised by the 'I'm six months pregnant' dream I had on Monday night).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	08,July,2004	By the way, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I bloody hate Snow Patrol. Well done, Radio 1/XFM and all their listeners for discovering this indie dirge after 5 BLOODY YEARS and DISTURBING OUR EARS with the god-forsaken shite. They'd have died a quick and painless death had such people just let it lie - we don't need any more Coldplays, one's enough for chrissakes!!
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	08,July,2004	I discovered this morning that Vincent Cassel was in Guest House Paradiso. I'm still recovering. In other news, Pato bought me The Harder They Come soundtrack yesterday. I'm going to have to watch the film at some point, if anyone fancies joining me...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	08,July,2004	Once again, it's Thursday and it's Nambucca night. You know the rest. Come and listen to some records that you might not normally hear, and drink cheap beer. No posts due to abject lack of things to talk about. I enjoyed Supernanny last night (or whatever it's called - the title brought back memories of 80s excellence Supergran with her tam 'o' shanter and crazy antics, usually involving a motorbike and chloroform...or was that Kick Start?).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	06,July,2004	I'm setting up some royalties for a Korean release this morning. The details on the approval request are as follows: This will be used to guide the prisoners of Korean Jails aright (sic) for education. (Premium deal with Ministry of Justice). This 14CDs-boxed set will be played in jail daily. ...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	05,July,2004	Lyrics of the day: Now she getting married I'm in misery Because her fiance's so much bigger than me and She's got a boyfriend He drives me round the bend cos He's 23 He's in the marines He'd kill me Well they made me laugh...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	02,July,2004	I'm listening to the McFly album - and it's ace. It's got The Who, The Beatles, The Animals, The Monkees, hammond organs aplenty and really good pop songs. It's obviously not their album (apart perhaps from the lyrics) but I'm now fixated on them. I'd be quite pleased, though, if they put a word in for the sixties in Smash Hits, at some point. (Fat chance - they're Blink 182 fans).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	02,July,2004	Thanks largely to Stuart's application and dedication, I now have a fully-functioning chest of drawers from Ikea and no longer have to store my clothes in silver plastic boxes. The huge glass cabinet by my bed (always threatening to fall on me in my sleep) is no more. And the best bit about our enforced trip to Croydon for Beanos/Ikea was being overtaken my Snoop Dogg in a Ford Capri on Peckham High Street. Or maybe it was being told by a ragged, squash-faced woman in a greasy spoon in Croydon market, 'EEEAAAAHHHHH you sound EXACTLY like my sista [turns to scraggy bloke] DUN SHE?? DUN SHE!!!'. Luckily for me her sister wasn't there, don't think my fragile ego could cope with being measured up by Croydon's finest trampess.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	02,July,2004	I've decided over the past few weeks that central to the ongoing Dionysiac thrust of my life (ha!) is the acquisition of an A-level in Latin. I was all set to do it for A-level (I was such a spod at school) until I decided to go to a comprehensive sixth form with no provision for Latin (unless you wanted to pay some old bloke to come in and teach you). I'm advertising my renewed interest in it cos I was wondering if there were any fellow thwarted potential classicists out there who wanted to join me for an evening class...?

3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,July,2004	Chart Acts ('singles artists'?) who can outclass the current crop of soi-disant 'alternative' 'singer-songwriters/bands': 1. McFly (of course) 2. Rachel Stevens 3. Lemar (sounds like he went on every soul weekender going in the 80s, when he plainly didn't) 4. Busted (at the bottom end of the scale, but still better than Snow Patrol). 5. Jamelia Oooh, thanks to the Snow Patrol freebie from work (the first album, I think) - I might be able to make quite a lot of money in Beano's on Saturday. I'll have to check on ebay...
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,July,2004	I just heard Everybody's Changing by Keane on Radio 1. Never in my life (apart from the Scissor Sisters) have I heard such a piece of dull, derivative shit. I guessed the melody line and key changes before they happened, and almost had time to write them down before the ugly bloke on the piano sang/played them. McFly are ten times better than any of these supposedly 'hip' bands (even if I decided yesterday that there's no way on earth that they write their own songs).
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,July,2004	Having moaned over the years about the Northerners Drinking Society etc and its exclusivity, I now discover that Hereford is officially In The North (according to the authors of the recent report on the North/South divide). I feel uprooted.
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	01,July,2004	It's time I confessed all. I'm obsessed with McFly. Their name, their songs, the fact that they can half-play... I must have watched too much Monkees when I was little (I used to launch myself at the television when the theme tune started). 'Obviously' is an absolutely cracking tune (I can hear Pato's voice now: They Nicked It Off Jellyfish!!). Does anyone care to back me up (apart from Cat at work who's just bought their album online)?
3,073,748	female	23	Communications-Media	Pisces	05,August,2004	On a 'Why's Geography more important than music?' tip, I'm going to write a list of subjects we did at school in order of disproportionality of time spent on them (worst first): 1. Maths (this is based on my ignorance of the subject and my relative need for differential equations these days). I spent my entire childhood in maths lessons, or so I remember. 2. Geography. I'm also rubbish at this subject. It should be combined with Politics and Sociology at school to make it interesting, and they should do away with all that Weathering crap (physical geography should appear during Geology lessons, which should be non-compulsory). Although we should be forced to memorise all the capitals of the world (so that I might one day win Trivial Pursuit). 3. Electronics (as part of CDT, which I'll come onto later). Why couldn't we learn plug-wiring instead of burning our fingers on soldering irons? The next three subjects are ridiculously useful and kids should be force fed them at every opportunity: 1. CDT. This is ultimately necessary so that TV-makeover disaster shows become redundant. Having studied CDT, I realised that I was good at making Ladybird Clocks but that Ladybird Clocks were my limit, and fitting a bathroom would be foolhardy. And can I just add that people who were excellent at CDT and not scared of the pillar drills were the objects of my envy. 2. Music/Art. Lumped together because they should be part of everything. For instance, if you do a particularly good English essay, you should be forced to illustrate its main tenets with 3D playdoh figurines. Equally, if you're trying to commit a course of events to memory for History, you should be able to sing them in the style of a Dufay motet. 3. Languages. Now I know most people aren't very talented at languages, but how jealous do you feel when you hear two of your compatriots switch between French and English or Welsh and Danish? I think the answer is 'very'. I'm in favour of Latin and French for everyone. If you want to do Spanish or Italian, you can teach yourselves once you're reasonably proficient in the former two.

I missed my buss to school this morning because i thought there was one running all day but no, only early morning. It fucking sucks. I really miss Annie butr i met a cool girl named Crystal today. WE played ice hockey, of course, i won.

He's a good guy, i also met his friends, there also cool. Annie has not been online in the last 2 days, it makes me sad. I miss her lots. Its bed time good nite.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	20,August,2004	Im going to miss my co-workers at Webbers. They have been really cool and awsome. I worked there for over a year and got really attached to most of them. I hope we all keep in touch. I think most of them will read this so thats good. Tammi kissed my cheek. She made my nite. All the pretty girls hugged me and it was nice. There a good bunch ill have to come visit them when i come home.

4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	19,August,2004	WEll mikes party was tonite, as was the last time I get to see annie for a long time. The party was very good. I kissed chow on the lips, it was funny. I had an awsome costume, so did annie. WE got mike really bad porn, lube, and a bunch of stuff from the dollar store to make him laugh. It worked. Im really going to miss annie and im going to do my damnedest to keep fateful to her. I cant even begin to imagine betraying her like that. So i think ill do ok.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	18,August,2004	Well then, all was going to roll smoothly for tomorrow if not for my over reacting close minded parents. They cant even begin to imagine me as my own person it seems. I want to dress diffrent because i feel differnrt. I want to stand out because i always do anyways. I dont know why sociaty has to hate the change and the fu that young people bring with them. Annie's mom wasn't posioned by it why are my parents? I like the coulor pink, they call me gay, i defend myself, nothing i say can sway them. WTF! Why cant they be accepting of who i am rather then negitive and angry about what i do to express myself. Aw well.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	17,August,2004	Ok theres a new quote of the day... this ones funny i promise. ' I like long walks on the beach, candle light dinners, and I'm lookin to get my thing wet.' Isn't that awsome?

4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	17,August,2004	Well my plans almost worked. Me and Annie met, we had a fun afternoon and saw Alien VS. Predador. It was good. I got a size 10 in kids t shirt for my goth costume. Its gonna be awsome, we got lots of safty pins cuz there hardcore. Me and Annie had a fun evening, It ended in me falling asleep... Again. I didnt end up going out with my friends and getting drunk because i ws too damn sleepy... I fell asleep the first time at 8:30 I think. Well, plans where not followed but how is that any diffrent then usual. So as far as a quote of the day, while swe where entewring the movie theatre we heard a man say to his child 'No, you cant have any. They dont make ice cream with beans' so we found it amusing. Also i was mauling Annie infront of the theatre and someone yelled get a room. It was fun. All in all yesterday was pretty good. I wish i had have had the energy to go drinking though. Oh well too bad, ill make up for it in college.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	17,August,2004	Well, im off to wotk, by my time its 6:30am so i gotta jet. Anyways hopefully today go's as planned. I can have a nice day with Annie then go get drunk with friends. Thats the plan.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	16,August,2004	Well my plans got fucked by my mom, in the ass. She got all pissed at me and wouldnt let me go out tonite so now im going out tomorrow as planed. Im going to see Annie tomorrow after work. Oh ya I picked up a shift for 7am till 11pm, woot i guess... Anyways i get to see her thats all that matters. Work tonite was pretty good, im gonna miss that gang. There pretty cool. Especially all the hot servers and bakery girls. Ill miss them all even the cooks that make fun of me. So ya I've had a fdun filled summer of work and Annie, mostly work and not near enough Annie. I had meatloaf for dinner, i want to make wheatloaf, just like meatloaf only instead of meat you use wheat.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	I would just like to point out that i am thye ice hocky master, i play as canada and have a 10-0 rateing at the moment. I need more formadable aponents. On a lighter note heres the quote of the day said by my little brother (14) as a comeback 'go eat some bacon'. so ther you have it, he is a tool.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	Another day in my life, Nothing really new. I gotta work tonite at 5 so im going in a few hours early so i can skateboard, cash my check and get some supplies for school. My mom made me do a bunch of cleaning today, it sucked. I think im gonna swing by my girlfriends house after work and hang out. It will be good. We are so right for eachother and i dont know what kind of strain my leaving for college will put on us. One of my good friends had this happen to him and it ended badly because he loved her, but as a guy, it was too hard to pass up casual sex. I really hope i dont run into that problem. I really love my Annie and dont want to lose her over some pretty girl that wants to get her freak on with me. Awe well i guess only time will tell. Anyways im gonna go play Nintendo.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	well i guess i should link you to my friend ian, he got me hooked on this, im sooo pwning him for posts so far lol. urlLink http://ibthomson.blogspot.com/

4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	Well i seem to be off to a pretty huge fucking start. Like im posting way to much. I mean, if i had something better to do you know id do it. I miss my friend ashley. We are not going to see eachother for a long while likely. The longest we've ever gone was like 2 weeks. man im gonna miss her. Same with my girlfriend Annie. Shes so awsome and cool and in yo face lol. She's staying behind in dirt town AKA Orillia. Im leaving a lot of friends here and it really kinda sucks. Hopefully ill meet some really cool people in my rez. Anyways this week should be fun, after working 55-65 hour weeks i finally have the last week before i leave off. So far i got some pretty decent plans, gonna hook up with Annie on monday after work, tuesday im gonna party, one day will be devoted to Ashley. Hopefully ill get to Rift. (table top RPG i play, It will be explained at a later date) and thursday i have a party for my friend mike with a goth/rockstar theme. Me and Annie gave him the idea. so ya im excited. Hopefully it will be more interesting then today was. If not, expect to see a shit load of posts again tomorrow.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	Ok, this is one fucking boring sunday afternoon. i mean come on, 4 fucking blogs in one day, the same day i started my blog. This is fucking dumb. I really wish i acxually lived in oshawa as my profile implies. (i dont at the moment because i move ther in 5 days) So here i sit in my drug infested nabour hood. My only friend within walking distance is in Hamalton so im just trying to entertain myself. Its not going very well. It feels like a lazy day but im bored enough that i may concider doing some house work to please my parents. Man im bored...
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	Well here i am still here still bored. i tryed watching tv but the best thing on was a pokemon movie. so ya that was the end f that. at the moment im talking to my girlfriend that i adore. I can set up links here for some awsome sites. urlLink http://www.bonusstages.com/episodes.html urlLink http://questionablecontent.net/ urlLink http://www.emulationstation.com/games2.asp?ID=12&Letter=1 urlLink http://www.tdotcomics.com/index.php urlLink http://www.penny-arcade.com/ urlLink http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/ urlLink http://www.encycmet.com/ urlLink http://www.nuklearpower.com/ urlLink http://counter-addiction.net/ urlLink http://www.runescape.com/frame2.cgi?page=title.html So ya there all cool, well at least i think so. Anyways im blogging too much for my own comfort.
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	Well i guess Ian was right in telling me to start this i do have a lot of things to say and to do and to learn. I guess i should fill in those who dont know me what I am all about besides the things in my profile. Im a boy and i like pink but i like like girls too. Really i like the coulor pink and i really dont see the big deal if i wear it now and again. I like loud heavy music, i figured even though thats in my profile id mention it anyways. I like to draw and play video games. I guess i could learn to enjoy blogging. Im really excited to be going to college i start classes on the 23rd of August. Well that about sums it up for now. Ill keep you posted lol. Vincent
4,239,592	male	17	Manufacturing	Scorpio	15,August,2004	Jezz, if i was just a bit more lazy, this would not be writen right now. See, my buddy Ian was all like 'do you have a site?' and i was like 'no' so he was like 'well get one' and i was like 'too lazy to learn html' so he gave me this site repeatedly untill i went through with it. My spellings reallly bad and i think blogs are lame so this is gonna be a pretty fucking sorry excuse for a blog. So ya i guess this is the part where i say what i did today. WEll i eat some meat, it was good. i play some old school nes. I was playing Ice hockey and i beat the USA witrh the Canadian team 17 to 4. Take that bitches! so ya then i did this, and for that i am sorry Intergalaticly yours Vincent

Stuart's new housemate, Matt (a Sex Pistols fan) slagged off Yazoo yesterday. Unprovoked, uncalled for. Other bands that you're not allowed to slag off in front of me (and, believe me, a lot of people do): 1. Crowded House (as before, ad infinitum) 2. Adam and the Ants (ditto) 3. Blur (too much hatred towards this lot, none of it justified) 4. The Longpigs 5. Anyone want to add their own here?

I made brownies yesterday, which turned out to be the best thing I've ever baked. I had to walk round Waitrose with the recipe (ripped out of the Observer Magazine) inconspicuously lining the bottom of my basket (in order to avoid being laughed at like the people Stuart saw marching round Waitrose with an entire Guardian supplement shouting to each other across the aisles, 'They said SEA BASS!!'). I shouldn't have made them, though. They contain an entire pack of Anchor and they're sitting on my desk in a tupperware box with no chance of staying there, if my ravenous appetite gets the better of me.

I just booked a hair appointment. A week on Saturday I shall no longer be a redhead, I'll be a brunette (with red tendencies). Here's to dismal failure. Interestingly enough, I just got hit on by the hairdresser (this *never* happens). Whilst waiting for my hair consultation, a male who had been staring at me approached me and said, 'Can I cut your hair? I want to give you a blunt fringe. Those eyes, I could lose myself in them. You need a blunt fringe to bring out your eyes'. Now, I'm not sure if this was 'the hard sell' or 'can I have your number?' but I assumed a semi-bitchface and said 'I'm here for a colour, actually', so he left it. No point in persevering really, was there?

Furthermore, my secret theory is that people who slag off the Beatles (and there have been many on my site) never even got into them in the first place . Admit it, you guys, you're scared of not knowing as much about them as you should (the bare minimum acceptable knowledge about the Beatles is, let's face it, pretty intimidatingly huge). It's time to throw yourselves in at the deep end, buy the Red and Blue albums and the Anthology on DVD and do some homework.

This probably isn't the last time I'm going to say this to everyone but leave off The Beatles band already!! Taking potshots at the Beatles doesn't say anything extraordinary about your taste in music, other than you're yet to tap the goldmine that is the greatest oeuvre in the history of pop music. You're not allowed to like Oasis, the Roses, the Stones, Bowie, Buzzcocks, in fact any band that relied on the 3-minute pop song without first having established your favourite Beatles songs/albums/periods/haircuts. Anyone who tries to argue with me will be crucified.

All my life I've been accused of being an inverse snob. Maybe this is my problem with XFM. I can't let the existing white/indie/male/guitar hegemony lie. XFM in the morning is bad because (a) it treats tunes by bands such as Kula Shaker as important historical documents, when everyone knows that any residual memory of this incredibly unimportant group will be wiped out within 10 years (I hope) and (b) it is incredibly lazy in terms of what it can be arsed giving an airing. So while Jo Whiley tries to educate the pitifully educated masses by playing Superstition (okay, it's a cliche but when most people don't know anything by Stevie Wonder, it's a start) XFM are undoing her hard work by airing Snow Patrol, Scissor Sisters and other such undeserving shite. How are people meant to know what's worth listening to when radio stations/the media consider Keane groundbreaking?

Dear XFM, Even in the realm of white male indie rock, better tunes exist than Hey Dude by Kula Shaker (well, you'd have thought so). And, tell me to fuck off if you like, but nothing is more likely to make me turn off the radio than, 'After the break, a brilliant record by the Scissor Sisters'... All the best, Laura x

I just updated my profile (eyes left). My list of favourite music suggests that I have no idea what I like listening to and I'm constantly stabbing in an aesthetic white-noise wilderness. I've also just been 'insufficiently funded' for about the first time in a year - hardly surprising seeing as I've had to make 9 days pay last a month, run a car, make 9 more days pay last a month next month... I can't help being a contractor!! I'm going to have to give my bank manager a cuddle...

The flyer looks promising - (containing as it does pictures of both bands and labels) - Outkast, Morrissey, Dylan, Prince, The Supremes and Blondie with Tamla Motown, Stax and 2-Tone logos (presumably they thought people wouldn't recognise Isaac Hayes). We'll be there from about 6.30 - Basement Bar (Goslett Yard) off Charing Cross Road. In the words of Al & co. 'Should be a peach'.

Can someone who isn't at work (Jane??) follow the link at the top of my blog to the 'Belly Gallery'? I'm scared it's a specialist thing, but it could equally be a page devoted to Jimmy Five Bellies or the like, in which case I'm intrigued. Talking of Five Bellies, wasn't it only about 8 years ago (8 years?!?!?!) that Gazza, Baker, Evans and Jimmy were the most famous people in Britain? Is there any way of turning the clock back??

I haven't had any good opinions in a while. When you're not talking incessantly at/with someone who shares your concerns and woes, it's difficult to get worked up about anything. So instead I'm going to start making 'to do' lists. 1. Dye my hair. This evening, in fact. I noticed Jane had opted for a particularly daring shade of dark brown this weekend, so I figured that I could obliterate any remaining blondeness with a quick dash of Cappuccino Wash In Wash Out. If it turns out okay, I go the whole hog like Winona Ryder. 2. Watch Hells Kitchen. Don't watch Big Brother. 3. Obtain contact lenses so that I can drive (I'm illegal at the moment).

I expect everyone at work knows me as 'the one with the post nasal drip'. It's embarrassing, people ask you how you are and you have to say, 'Absolutely fine' because having a cold/being a bit run down isn't being ill.

We saw Marc Bolan and Gloria Jones' son, a very bald Luke Haines, Steve Lamacq (pah!) and various indie luminaries...but no free drink, so we left.

On a 'Why's Geography more important than music?' tip, I'm going to write a list of subjects we did at school in order of disproportionality of time spent on them (worst first): 1. Maths (this is based on my ignorance of the subject and my relative need for differential equations these days). I spent my entire childhood in maths lessons, or so I remember. 2. Geography. I'm also rubbish at this subject. It should be combined with Politics and Sociology at school to make it interesting, and they should do away with all that Weathering crap (physical geography should appear during Geology lessons, which should be non-compulsory). Although we should be forced to memorise all the capitals of the world (so that I might one day win Trivial Pursuit). 3. Electronics (as part of CDT, which I'll come onto later). Why couldn't we learn plug-wiring instead of burning our fingers on soldering irons? The next three subjects are ridiculously useful and kids should be force fed them at every opportunity: 1. CDT. This is ultimately necessary so that TV-makeover disaster shows become redundant. Having studied CDT, I realised that I was good at making Ladybird Clocks but that Ladybird Clocks were my limit, and fitting a bathroom would be foolhardy. And can I just add that people who were excellent at CDT and not scared of the pillar drills were the objects of my envy. 2. Music/Art. Lumped together because they should be part of everything. For instance, if you do a particularly good English essay, you should be forced to illustrate its main tenets with 3D playdoh figurines. Equally, if you're trying to commit a course of events to memory for History, you should be able to sing them in the style of a Dufay motet. 3. Languages. Now I know most people aren't very talented at languages, but how jealous do you feel when you hear two of your compatriots switch between French and English or Welsh and Danish? I think the answer is 'very'. I'm in favour of Latin and French for everyone. If you want to do Spanish or Italian, you can teach yourselves once you're reasonably proficient in the former two.

WEll mikes party was tonite, as was the last time I get to see annie for a long time. The party was very good. I kissed chow on the lips, it was funny. I had an awsome costume, so did annie. WE got mike really bad porn, lube, and a bunch of stuff from the dollar store to make him laugh. It worked. Im really going to miss annie and im going to do my damnedest to keep fateful to her. I cant even begin to imagine betraying her like that. So i think ill do ok.

Well then, all was going to roll smoothly for tomorrow if not for my over reacting close minded parents. They cant even begin to imagine me as my own person it seems. I want to dress diffrent because i feel differnrt. I want to stand out because i always do anyways. I dont know why sociaty has to hate the change and the fu that young people bring with them. Annie's mom wasn't posioned by it why are my parents? I like the coulor pink, they call me gay, i defend myself, nothing i say can sway them. WTF! Why cant they be accepting of who i am rather then negitive and angry about what i do to express myself. Aw well.

Well my plans almost worked. Me and Annie met, we had a fun afternoon and saw Alien VS. Predador. It was good. I got a size 10 in kids t shirt for my goth costume. Its gonna be awsome, we got lots of safty pins cuz there hardcore. Me and Annie had a fun evening, It ended in me falling asleep... Again. I didnt end up going out with my friends and getting drunk because i ws too damn sleepy... I fell asleep the first time at 8:30 I think. Well, plans where not followed but how is that any diffrent then usual. So as far as a quote of the day, while swe where entewring the movie theatre we heard a man say to his child 'No, you cant have any. They dont make ice cream with beans' so we found it amusing. Also i was mauling Annie infront of the theatre and someone yelled get a room. It was fun. All in all yesterday was pretty good. I wish i had have had the energy to go drinking though. Oh well too bad, ill make up for it in college.

Another day in my life, Nothing really new. I gotta work tonite at 5 so im going in a few hours early so i can skateboard, cash my check and get some supplies for school. My mom made me do a bunch of cleaning today, it sucked. I think im gonna swing by my girlfriends house after work and hang out. It will be good. We are so right for eachother and i dont know what kind of strain my leaving for college will put on us. One of my good friends had this happen to him and it ended badly because he loved her, but as a guy, it was too hard to pass up casual sex. I really hope i dont run into that problem. I really love my Annie and dont want to lose her over some pretty girl that wants to get her freak on with me. Awe well i guess only time will tell. Anyways im gonna go play Nintendo.

Well i guess Ian was right in telling me to start this i do have a lot of things to say and to do and to learn. I guess i should fill in those who dont know me what I am all about besides the things in my profile. Im a boy and i like pink but i like like girls too. Really i like the coulor pink and i really dont see the big deal if i wear it now and again. I like loud heavy music, i figured even though thats in my profile id mention it anyways. I like to draw and play video games. I guess i could learn to enjoy blogging. Im really excited to be going to college i start classes on the 23rd of August. Well that about sums it up for now. Ill keep you posted lol. Vincent

Jezz, if i was just a bit more lazy, this would not be writen right now. See, my buddy Ian was all like 'do you have a site?' and i was like 'no' so he was like 'well get one' and i was like 'too lazy to learn html' so he gave me this site repeatedly untill i went through with it. My spellings reallly bad and i think blogs are lame so this is gonna be a pretty fucking sorry excuse for a blog. So ya i guess this is the part where i say what i did today. WEll i eat some meat, it was good. i play some old school nes. I was playing Ice hockey and i beat the USA witrh the Canadian team 17 to 4. Take that bitches! so ya then i did this, and for that i am sorry Intergalaticly yours Vincent

Dear Kyle, If you do Infact have a heart, and I hope you do, Please remember to say bye when you sign offline. I've come to the conclusion, that I just might hate you. Sam, she's a whore, Please don't tell me of the many enconters you've had with her anymore, it make my brain cringe. Things are already confusing in my life, please don't add to the 'suckyness' of it all, Just be here for me. I really do miss you, contrary to popular belief ((even to me)), and I really do wish that you missed me. I'm not a bad person. Why all of a sudden do I not exsist. Thank you for being my past, Jamie That is what a letter would look like, If I had the gut to write one. Ergh, I am depressed far to much to keep on worrying about him. And also, we are/were friends, There really wasn't a 'relationship' there, for that long anyways. But although just a friendship, a very touching, emotional, and trusting friendship. I have secrets about my entire exsistance that only this 'boy' knows, How can I let go to that? I really need help sorting this out... I'll write later.

/* Kelly, My buddy, My friend, May have to move to Kentucky. Although we haven't been friends for very long, I still love her and am grateful that she's with me. She Lives with her grandparents and they have been fighting, and the thing is, If they do infact get a divorce, She will have to move to Kentucky. There are the possibilitys that she can live with her mom, or if worst comes to worst, and I hope they don't, She may come live with me ((depending on how open my parents are to that subject, but she's a friend in trouble, and I'm suspecting if they were needed, that they would come in handy)). And if infact that did happen, and I doubt it, She would be open to a whole new world of problems. I really care about Kelly, and know that this really hard on her, So Please, Please, Please, Pray for her, and that things work out alright.
