cough cough - CARGHH - splutter

*wheeze*
In conclusion, my head is knackered. My sinuses have been fooked for 3 days, and yesterday i must have sneezed about 35 times. I think today though the sneezes have been replaced by coughing. Its weird cause i don't really have a cold, its just my sinuses, its horrible. Blocked nose is probably my number 1 most annoying thing ever which is why I'm hating this so much! I would happily exchange this for a sore throat and aching body. I keep finding tissues all over, i was wearing an outfit yesterday that didn't have pockets, so i kept having to stuff them up my sleeves, then when i got undressed for bed, i found a tissue stuffed in the waistband of my tights, that i have no recollection of putting there aha. Actually, after a night out i had at the weekend i came home and when i was undressing found a single furry antler stuffed in my tights waistband. Maybe i should stop wearing tights.

But never mind, i have a pack of tunes and a few sachets of lemsip, which is surprisingly not as rank as i expected. I'm not sure how i can taste it actually, i ate a banana yesterday and i couldn't taste it at all, it was really weird, not being able to taste, its never happened to me before. I love food, I'd be proper gutted if i could never taste anything ever. I'm pretty sure some people have a condition where they cant taste. Unlucky.

I trying to pack in as many blogs as i can before new years, dunno why really, i think its cause i badly need to tidy my room before my auntie and cousin and second cousins all get here later on, and iv been putting it off for aaages. Less than 12 hours till 2008 is finito, i cant fucking wait, this year has been proper gash. Nothing exciting happened at all, i had a shitty birthday cause nobody really seemed that interested in doing anything, so i just ended up sitting at home trying to get drunk on the dregs of a bottle of peach snapps, whilst listening to Avril Lavigne. I didn't get a job, or a hot nice boyfriend, or a kitten, didn't go to Leeds festival this year, the summer was shitty weather, i didn't run away to join the circus, i hardly kept any of my new years resolutions that i made, i moved house - yet again! Gah it was all just shit. On the bright side, at least i didn't break any bones or get any horrible diseases so that's something i suppose! I was talking about new years on msn last night, and i miss-typed and said i couldn't wait for "2009" to fuck off already, i meant to type 08. I think that means iv basically jinxed myself for all of next year, uh oh.

Actually though, there has been a few mint highlights this year. Seeing TSDOLE with Laura at the cluny and then ending up going out with them afterwards, that was a fucking class night. Middlesbrough Music Live was a good one, the day was pretty average but seeing Dan Le Sac in the empire was definitely a good moment it was so much fun, and then after being in the empire for the last part of the night, and bumping into people I'd not seen for ages, and hanging out with Laura and Paul. And then all deciding at about 4am to walk home to Stockton, because we were all wearing comfy flat shoes, and were still drunk and it was light nights. That was a really fun night, we found a football on the way home and kicked it about before someone kicked it over a fence, then we did the The Beatles pose on a zebra crossing. And seeing the Smashing Pumpkins in Manchester at the start of the year was pretty cool as well. And falling in love with a Belgian acrobat during Stockton festival, ahhh. So yeah, it wasn't all rubbish and boring.

Its nearly crimbo

Its been a weird Christmas run up this year, even though its been pushed on everyone via shop displays since about October, i dunno it just feels weird. I don't think its quite hit yet that is Christmas in less than a week. And i know that, but its sort of unbelievable. Haha that doesn't make a bit of sense does it? Never mind. Im sort of excited for it, but at the same time i feel sort of stressed out about it, because i haven't got my mam a present yet, and its made worse by the fact that every time i ask her what she wants, i get the standard mam reply of "ohh don't waste your money" or even better "nothing". As if i can actually wake up on Christmas morning and not give her anything. I don't want to get her chocolates cause i get her them every year and she'll probably get them from other people anyway. I got her perfume last year which was nice but i cant afford that this year. Anyway I'm going shopping in town tomorrow to get something, which relaxes me somewhat. I think I'm going to wear a Santa hat.
I kind of wish i had some decorations in my bedroom, its pretty unfestive in here, but i like my room, its cosy as. So I'm not too bummed about no decorations.

I had a snowball with my mam earlier on, you know, the drink. Its very nice, and they come in handy little bottles. Ohhh and i watched ET! Fuck, i forgot how great that movie is, even though its not my favourite film i think its probably the greatest film ever made. (Maybe, except for Gone with the the wind). This reminds me, i need to fit in a viewing of Edward Scissorhands.

I stepped out of the house the other night and found a nice fake poinsettia flower right outside my house, its really pretty. I found a fake flower on the floor in Ku bar in August as well. Maybe in a few years i'll have a whole bunch of fake floor flowers that iv just picked up from random places.

Hmmm im sure i had more to write, but iv just had a massive mindblank. Strange.

Why did nobody tell me!

1. Why did nobody tell me about Modest Mouse before?
2. Why did nobody tell me about Frightened Rabbit before?
3. Why did nobody tell me that Jarvis Cocker has grown a fucking massive beard?

a lot less grumpy blog

Just as i was about to write off this entire year as being proper gash, Bon Iver has almost made me change my mind completely.
At least 2008 will go down as the year i found what might be the most beautiful and wonderful sounds that have ever graced my ears

Ahhhh

Grumpy blog

So. Its 9pm exactly. And someone who lives in the street behind mine, (hence our yards face each other) has had their dog in the yard for about half an hour. And it has been barking, none stop, for about half an hour.
The same dog woke me up groggily at 9.30am this morning when i didnt need to get up untill at least 12pm.
Im tired, i want to go to fucking sleep, and yes i am aware that its only 9 in the evening, and there are probably children who have a later bed time than this, but i woke up with a sore throat this morning, and have been proper achy and a bit headachy most of the day. And the one fucking time, the only time iv ever wanted to go to bed this early, and that motherfucking dog is out there barking. I know its not the dogs fault its owners are too lazy to walk the godamn thing, despite there being a huge field literally 30 seconds away at the end of the road, but its still pissing me off.
I wish i was more hardcore and manly, and instead of writing this from the comfort of my bed, i was hammering on their front door and telling them that if they didnt shut their dog up i would walk up the alley and throw a grenade in their yard.
Its 8 minutes past now, it got to 5 minutes past and i hadnt heard any more barking, but just as i'd started to hope that maybe they'd let it in, it started barking. I havent heard it for a few minutes now, but i think its still probably out there.
I actually hope they all fall off the face of the planet, and your little dog too! (ok its actually a massive dog but i cant resist dropping in quotes)
Im just gutted that after all the fucking barking i had to put up with when i lived in my old house, when there was a proper mong living underneath us who let her dog bark long into the night, that now theres another one pissing me off.
Raghhghg
