Sunday Stealing - At Last on A Sunday

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. One of my favorite TV shows recently changed the actors who played two characters. Have you ever been bothered by a TV show or movie series changing actors who play a character you love?      I haven't been bothered by it, but I do remember when they changed the eldest daughter in Roseanne, and made fun of it within the series.  That was a far better way to deal with it, and they could giggle along with the rest of us.

2. A coworker recently shared a link to a blog listing the "five things you should know before dating a journalist." As a journalist, I can honestly say the writer was spot-on. What are some things people should know before spending time with you?   My husband says that he is no longer surprised by me doing the unexpected.   If you don't know me, I suppose starting a singing and dancing routine a la fred astair in the middle of the street would seem a bit weird.  I also like to announce my feelings, so will at a distance of 500 yards, scream down the street to advise people how I am feeling.  Weird. Me?  Yes. 

3. What is something you often do without realizing that you're doing it?   Bite my lip.  For years I thought there was something wrong with my mouth.  It kept spontaneously bleeding.  Twice I was referred to a hospital.  The second time they cut out a little vein in my lip.  It's started to flare up again, and in an attempt to figure out what was happening, I concentrated really hard, and realised I pull my lip into my mouth and nip it with my teeth.

4. Who has the capacity to make you angrier than anyone else in your life, and what in particular does he or she do to make you so angry?    A comedian on the TV.  He annoys me so much I won't even give him word space on my Blog despite knowing that he would never see it or hear about it.  His whole take on humour by-passes me.  Humiliating people, taking the piss out of them, over estimating their own humour is not funny for anyone else.  Refuse to watch anything he is connected with. 

5. If a fairy waved a magic wand and gave you the house of your dreams, where would it be and what features would it have?   Sauna and jacuzzi out the back.   En Suite bathrooms for everyone - mine would have a corner bathroom with sunken lights.  An escape hole from the business of the world.

6. What’s a belief that you hold with which many people disagree?   That we are an alien experiment, Tom is right, and the Mother Ship WILL come back and collect us!

7. I used to talk in my sleep. In fact, I could carry on a conversation with someone when I was fully asleep, and my mom used this fact when I was a teenager to find out if I did anything wrong and was hiding it from my parents. If you were talking your sleep tonight, what do you think you would say?   I'm so tired. I wish I wasn't so tired.  I wish my arm wasn't hurting.  I should really get up and exercise.  I have so much to do.

8. The fourth installment of the "Twilight" movie series ("Breaking Dawn Part I") will be released in theaters soon. Movie theaters started selling advance tickets for midnight showings months ago. Have you ever attended a midnight premiere showing of a movie?   Nope.   I'm too tired by 11.  I'd be sleeping before the credits starting rolling. 

9. On Tuesday, tigers, lions and bears were let loose in Zanesville, Ohio, by their owner before he committed suicide, leading to a hunt in which 49 of the animals, including 18 endangered Bengal tigers, were killed. How would you react if you saw "Caution exotic animals. Stay in your vehicle" being displayed on a road sign?    I would park up, and watch, hoping that I would get to see them.  I would also phone Animal rights campagners and hope that they would get there before the local law enforcement tubes shot them all dead. 

10. If a company opened a theme park aimed at adults, what would you name one of the rides?   Nice and Gentle for Pathetic Wimps!

11. Imagine you just moved onto Sesame Street. Which puppet would you want as your new roommate?   Oh god, Cookie Monster.   Elmo Next door, so that I could run in and gossip to him about how many cookies the Monster had eaten.

12. Have you ever had a weird crush on a famous person that didn't make sense to you?   David Duchovny.   I mean, look at him. It really doesn't make sense. 

13. If you get ten minutes to interview any celebrity of your choice, who would you like it to be?    Robert Downy Jnr.   I'd ask him to STOP SMOKING.  Every time I see him I think, you must stink of fags. 

14. You've just won the complete DVD collection of all the movies starring one actor or actress. Which actor/actress would you pick?    Tom Cruise.  Weird I know, but he has made such a range of films, I think I could be quite entertained for a while.

15. Actor George Clooney recently told People Magazine that he doesn't use Twitter "because I will drink in the evening and I don't want anything that I could possibly write at midnight to actually end my career." What is something you've said through social media and then regretted it?   " Oh My God.  He's drunk, and he's driven 40 miles to get to the office, am quite scared".

16. VH1 has re-introduced its hit show "Pop-Up Video," which gives behind-the-scenes facts for popular music videos. What musician would you be most interested in learning behind-the-scenes facts about?   Bruno Mars.  He is just the cutest looking thing on earth right now.  And apparently quite a bad boy!

17. If you stumbled across someone's personal written journal that was accidentally left in a public place, would you read any of the content?   Of course I bloody would.  My flat mate and I read our "other" flat mate's diary.  He was a complete nerd, and had written a fantastic novel about his life with the two stunning birds he shared a flat with.  He obviously needed glasses.

18. What is the title of a self-help book that you'd never want to see on a store bookshelf?   I can't get my spoon out my ear.   (This is a personal reference, that my husband amongst other members of my family will appreciate)

19. Many media outlets have been asking this question a lot this week... Which Halloween costume do you think will be overdone this year?   Sexy ...... (anything).  When did Halloween become "Sexy?"  My daughter was a manic nurse, but she looked like a sexy manic nurse.  I'm just glad she wore something under the outfit.

20. Should a marriage license have a renewal date or expiration date, like a driver’s license?  Wow. There is a thought.  I'd hate so though, cause I would hate that my husband would see it as an easy -get-out clause.  Maybe if you had to go and get it examined at regular periods.  Tell each other what needed done to make things even better? 

Lovely night!!!!

Aw wow. I have had the most lovely night.
This was Si's birthday present

What a beautiful day

Gorgeous!

What is a quote that you love?  "How do I love thee, Let me count the ways"
 

Do you think of pure hate as something humanity created?  Yes.  
 

When was the last time you wanted to scream?   Quite frequently.  I think there might well be something in the therapy "Primal Screaming", and not just the band.

  D you ever at times see the world in black and white?  No. Never.  There is far, far too much going on.

Have you ever thought that cell phones are too obtrusive?   Oh god yes.  All the time.  Watch in restaurants, pubs; people aren't interacting with the people they are with, they are texting, laughing at comments, posting, reading.   Ignorant. I try to leave mine behind at the weekend, when I'm with the people I love.

In your life, where do you thank the rainbow will end?   I am at the end of my Rainbow.  I'm married to someone I adore.  My kids are gorgeous, and pretty damn fine. Both have their own destinies, and I'm happy to play out the rest of my life, with my love.

What is something that you never want to do again?   Walk round Wastewater.

When was the first time you realized the world was small?  All the time. I people watch constantly, and am always astounded at how I recognise the same people over, and over again, in different places, all over the world.

How you spend your time contemplating life’s mysteries?   I start with the sky, and end with the conspiracies.

  Ever discuss your political beliefs with people?   Yes, and I kick ass. I would be a fantastic politician. You cannot beat me when I start on systems, economies, world leaders and debt.

Do you care about the environment?   I care about the immediate environment around me.  If I stayed in the Arctic, I suppose I would care more about melting ice.  Right now, I'm concerned that we have no water over Christmas again. :-(

What’s your motto for life?   Get on With it!

Is progress destroying the beauty of the world?  Nope!  Have you looked at the world closely?  There is so much natural beauty.  So much man-made beauty.  Just need to get the balance perfect. 

Do you believe there is life somewhere else in the universe?   Yes.  The mother ship!

Would you like to rule a country?  I would be bloody fantastic.  They would bow down before me. 

Do you believe everything has a purpose?   Yes.  A purpose and place.  Mine was not to watch the washing line to see if everything is dry.

Is war ever for the best?  No. War is nasty, but it is in nature for the strongest to exert authority and survive. 

Could you kill anyone in defense of self or loved ones?   I would kill anyone who threatened the life of my kids.

How do you react to people (Such as Governor Rick Perry) who don't believe global warming is really our fault?   I don't think it is.  I think it is a natural progression.  The whole world has it's climate, and resets automatically itself.  Where did the dinosaurs go?  The world realised it was wrong, and started again.  

Does love conquer all?   Yes, if you are loved you are capable of anything.

Is euthanasia morally acceptable?  Yes. My mother knows the shovel is waiting.
 

Is world peace impossible?  Yes.  Until the Mothership makes a reappearance, and reunites us all, completely impossible. When it does appear, and everyone suddenly realises we are all from the same experiment, given different ideas to see what would happen -  Wow   are they gonna feel stupid. 
 

Is pride a good or a bad thing?  Bad. Always comes before a fall.

What do you think is the purpose of your life?  To be. 

Do you believe in karma?  Oh bloody hell yes.  Two people who crossed my family BIG TIME suffered at the hands of karma, in the worst way possible.  They both ended up on the Mother-ship well before closing time.

Cheers to all of us thieves!

 What was the last song you listened to that wasn’t sung in English?  Hmm, I can't think... Oh hang on - I was watching "Only You", they were singing in Italian in there.

 One of our SS players generally leaves a critical comment on our memes. Which is fine. All's fair. Do you let meme authors know when you hate their memes?  No I don't.  If I hate them; I stay away and I can't understand why anyone would leave insulting comments on anyone's meme.  That's just cruel.

What TV show would you like to be on?  Dr Who, or Torchwood

What was the last video game you played?   Angry Birds, on Friday night, we were trying to show two "techno geeks", how nice iPhones were.

Have you ever been in a musical? If yes, do tell.  Nope. I don't do singing, but both my kids have - and done so beautifully.

Do you follow your own style or everyone else’s?  My own; and it's not that good.  Lol!  But at least it's mine.

What’s the last store you bought from?  Tesco.  We have been shopping for Halloween Outfits!

In retrospect, have you ever let a person use you a lot? Yes, when I was younger, I always let everyone dictate to me. I was a Useee.  Never a user.

What are you doing two days from now?   On tuesday.....  I will be at work, and hopefully having a gentle evening.

Did you ever believe there were monsters in your closet?  Oh god yes. for sure.    I also had a plastic dalek which must have been all of an inch and a half tall, which I made sure was always buried deep in the bottom of the toy cupboard, so that it wouldn't come out and get me.

When you graduated high school, did you let random people sign your yearbook or just close friends?  We didn't have a year book, so never had the opportunity.  My son's class had a year book, but there are no signatures.

Would you consider adopting a child that had a mental illness?   Erm, no.  I have enough problems with my own mental health without inflicting any further damage on myself, or anyone else.

Does thinking about death scare you? No.  It it will happen, it will happen.  Hopefully the mother ship will come and just take me back.

If you died, do you believe that you go to Heaven or Hell and where would your spirit go?  My spirit would go to Heaven, for sure, if there was one, but I would prefer that it was just back to the mother ship and on to the next adventure.

Who did you last write a snail mail letter to and why?  My son.  He is in USA, and sometimes, it is just nice to have a hand written letter.

Do you care what people say or think about you? Yes.  I don't like people not liking me for no reason. I'm not a bad person, I try to do right by everyone I pass, and I don't want people to have the wrong opinion of me.

Have you ever been threatened? Yes, I have in a  very nasty way.

Which side of your family do you get most of your qualities from?  My dad.  My laid backness, my interest in the world, and my day dreaming. My psychotic tendencies from my mother.

What was the last thing with alcohol that you drank? On Friday night I had Wine, Rose and White, I had Drambui, I had Margaritas, and Bailies, and then JD!

Have you ever kept a relationship a secret?  From whom?

Exhaustion

Up early (ish) two hour and a bit drive to St Andrews, much wandering around checking out the university... Two
And a half hour drive home !

Soooo tired

Blighting the Lives Of Others

Far be it from me to offend anyone, but it was drawn to my attention that yesterday, every other day I have not offered the option of "Utter Crap", on my blogs, and for this I apologise.

If you do stop by and read any of my ramblings, and you feel it is worthy of the Tag of "Utter Crap", please feel free to leave a comment to that effect.    If you don't want to use the energy required, please just pass by without even letting me know you were there.

Fitness

So today I decided I must start to get fit.

I got up, not at 6 like I fantastised, but at 7.40, after everyone else.  I stumbled through the bathroom activities, and decided train and then the mile and a half walk to the office would be good for a start.


4 minutes from house to train.  Good start.  On train, twitter a bit.  Didn't avoid guard, damn, and then station.  Starts walking.  Got about 500 yards, and car goes past and peeps.   P from work.  Shit.  He signals to pull over, but it is about another 500 yards before he can.  I have pathetic shoes on.  Not even suitable for walking distance, let alone run.  I have to speed walk 500 yards, in on-coming wind.

Collapse into P's car, and thank gracefully, as I can with pink face, and gasping lungs.

Have to do better tomorrow!

Rant

Bloody hell.  How do I encourage my daughter to be as committed and active as she wants to be when everything keeps falling over the top of us! 

She gave up hockey, to be able to attend all her volleyball matches.  She can't apply for a LOT of part-time jobs, because she would like to attend at least some of her volleyball matches - and employers don't want to employ someone who isn't going to be at their beck and call.

She got a week at an outward bound course, and it fell inbetween two Duke of Edinburgh Sailing weeks, one of which we had to move those to allow her to fit in her Outward bound course.

We booked a weekend away - her first volleyball match of the pre-season was scheduled for that day.

Her gran won a competition which involves a flight to london and a day over for both of them - she has another volleyball match on the day they leave.

It never ends.

Does anyone have the ability to split the time/ space continuum, give me two days for the price of one, and allow Tooli to do it all?

Have you ever flown a kite?     Oh Yes Indeedy I have.  We used to have "normal" kites.   You know, diamond shaped, pastel colours, with ribbons.  We loved those kites.  Then we moved on to trick kites with 4 guide wires, and now we have a 5m stripy one which has the ability to bounce me along the beach at a rate of knotts!  great fun!  I don't do it often enough!

Do you wish on your fallen lashes?   You know, I used to.  I can't remember the last time I did.  I can't remember the last time I found a lash, but I do remember my daughter and I holding our lashes tight in our palms, and looking to see if they had moved over.   Lovely times. 

Do you consider yourself successful?  Yes indeedy I am.  I have a lovely Husband who adores me, and I love him soo much.  I have two fantastic kids who have never really given me any problems - Boy makes me worry sometimes, but only because he is 3500 miles away from home and doesn't keep in touch as much as he should!  Girl is beautiful, clever, and talented, and is very like her dad.  I couldn't ask for me.  I love my job, and work with great people!

When was the last time that you made an obscene phone call?   When I was about 17 I think.  I was paying back for years of obscene phone calls I used to endure. 

Have you ever asked for a pony?  Yes, and a monkey, and a koala bear.


Plans for tomorrow?   Work Again!
!
Can you juggle?   I am stupendous juggler. Well that is a slight exaggeration.  I can juggle, and juggle with shot glasses.  I used to manage a bar where we advertised as "All Singing, All dancing, all juggling", but as luck would have it I was transferred to a branch where the staff were as miserable as get oot.  And no one would sing or dance or juggle on request, so in order to fulfil the Trades Description, you could frequently find me behind the bar, singing at the top of my voice, while Tap Dancing, or Pole Dancing, and Juggling whilst, pouring drinks. I was multi-tasker supreme!
 

Missing someone now? I miss my Boy.  cause he is far away.  I miss my baby, cause she is at home.  And I miss my Man every time i leave him to come to work.  I miss my Dad, cause he died years, and years, and years ago.  I wonder what my relationship with him would be like now?  We were really close. 



When was the last time you told someone "I love you"?   I told Si, this morning. 


And truly meant it?  I Always mean it. 


How often do you drink alcohol?  Maybe once a month?  Not as often as I did!


How are you feeling today?   Actually, Am feeling great today!


Have you every tried to write a meme?   Yes, and I just cant' think!


Have you ever been fired from a job?   Yes, I was fired for "continued absence" - After struggling into work with a horrible cough, I was told never to come in when I was ill again, after everyone else fell ill.  So I didn't.  Doctor couldn't work out what was wrong with me, and signed me off, tried different things and sent me back, and I'd start being ill again.   They fired me "not because I was bad, your work is great", but "you are continually sick".  Shortly afterwards, I was diagnosed with Asthma, prescribed inhalers, and I'm fine and dandy.  Their loss not mine!


What are you looking forward to?   A weekend away in Lochgilphead! Yay!


Have you ever crawled through a window? Yes. When I was little, we frequently locked ourselves out and climbed in through the window, but I haven't done that for ages!  Maybe I should try.  See if my arse would fit!


What's the most recent bad meal that you had to endure?  Mmmm, I don't do bad meals.  My Si cooks mostly everything in our house, and he is Chef Surpreme!


Can you handle the truth?   Can You? 


Whose to blame for what's going on?  I could tell you, but I'd probably get shot.


What will it take to fix it all up?   A bit of paint and some pretty border. 

Dread

But first...  I had the dentist this morning.  Not even the Dentist.  I had the Hygienist.  I decided yesterday morning that I should cancel.  It would reduce the horrible feeling I had.  But I text my Si to tell him, and he said "No".  So I didn't.

I got down 10 minutes before my appointment, and had to wait ten minutes to be seen.

The Hygienist and her friend in yellow got stuck in about me, trying their hardest to choke me with the pokey thing, and break my teeth from the bottom up.    One thing I will say though - They chatted to each other, not about me, but about buying houses.  That totally distracted me.  I'm going to ask the dentist to talk pap the next time I'm in.

I'm actually tired. Physically tired from the stress of having to go.  I need to get over this.

WWW.CHICKLISH.CO.UK 

I entered a comp today and it asked for "my book blog link".  Wow I thought! I could actually review books.

Here's my first one!

Christopher Brookmyre!  Bloody anything by him! Gripping, Funny, Sad, Hilarious, Educational, Believable, laughoutloud.
