Dating Sites and Care Workers

Me and Simon were discussing this on the way home and at home the other day.

What would you put down if you had to advertise yourself on a dating site?

Simon said his basic measurements (he does fancy himself a bit, that one..but then who wouldn't? He is cut from his very own cloth).

I said I'd put down my bra measurement and he said if you were putting that down you could just lie (like he wouldn't lie about his measurements?! Well, not that he would have to but then neither would I as I am unfortunately gifted in the bust region).

Anywho, I told him that most of them annoy me because people never tell the truth, I would!

I'd say something like:

"Girl (still feels strange to call myself woman) looking for a stud with blue eyes. I am a funny person because I do stupid shit that pains me but might make you laugh and if it doesn't then you're not the man for me. I'm witty at the best of times but when we argue I can get sarcastic and that will piss you off and you may want to slap me about, but be warned if you do because I shant sit back and take it, you will feel pain in the bollock area. I like getting my own way (but then anyone who says they don't are lying) and I am a master at negotiating and arguing as it is what I do for a living. I'm messy but in a controlled way, I know where all my shit is. I'd add something "quirky" about myself such as I don't like peas and if I go to bed wearing socks they will be off my feet by the morn. I like material things but I know there is more the life than a bottle of Chanel No5. I can be a bitch at times but if I like you enough you won't ever see too bad a side of me because that side barely comes out. This might sound like quite a pessimistic ad but at least I'm not shitting you :) I think I'd add something about my two all time favourite bands being The Verve (because their albums remind me of when I was a kid and summers gone by) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (just in case John Frusciante is reading the ad..one can always dream) and I think that would be it.

Part 2:

I have so much respect for social care workers, how they can do such a selfless task is beyond me. Now I know people are going to point out that they get paid but compared to what they do for that money they should get a hell of a lot more, they should be treated as kings and queens. I could never ever do that because I am not that selfless. They should be the people who are lauded as heroes in this country, not people like David Beckham and Johnny Wilkinson, they have nothing "great", all they have done is come from nothing and become millionaires...there are tonnes of people like that and they aren't special, they haven't given society anything as important as what these care workers are doing. Gordon Brown and Darling boy should take note of all the good they do and pay them more, add THEM to the definition of key workers because that is what they do.

My Fitness Plan

So I have decided to tone up a bit and I started today, I tried coming up with excuses to get out of exercising whilst I was brushing my teeth but having found a note pasted to the cross trainer telling me to get my arse in motion, I decided it was now or never.

So, I got into my exercising outfit (some gym bottoms and an olddd Adidas hoody) and put the headphones in my ears.

I decided to start on 20 minutes because I thought I might chicken out (I really don't know what my problem is, back when I HAD to lose weight I was doing 40 mins a day, but that was in two sittings and I don't fancy doing that again as the waiting around annoys me, I want to cardio, then shower). Anywho, I think I am going to work up every two weeks, i.e. 20 mins for these two weeks, then 30, then 40, by then my resistance should be ok as I am doing more distance training than strictly calories.

Anywho, in true fashion, I digress..I got the iPod out, stuck the earphones in my ears and onto the machine I went..

I must say that for once, the time flew by..I cardio'd my way though the following songs:

• Somebody Told Me - The Killers
• You're All I Have - Snow Patrol
• You Give Me Something - James Morrison (I tell a lie, this was changed after about 10 seconds as tis too slow to do cardio too)
• Sonnet - The Verve
• Lucky Man - The Verve (twice)

The last two songs are my true cardio songs, they do something to me that makes me just work that much harder, quite a few songs are like that, maybe I should put them into one playlist and cardio to them..that IS an idea BUT my speakers on my computer have still not been fixed and thus I shall have to stick to what I have as shuffling the songs is too risky as the ones I want are likely to not come up.

The good thing about the two Verve songs mentioned above is that they start off quiet-ish and then build up, then they lapse a bit and when you need that something to get you through the sluggish bit of cardio, the song picks up. I also find that Fake Tales of San Francisco by the Arctic Monkeys is the same kinda thing. Also, as I do the distance cardio, the endings of songs become important as you can travel half a kilometre on the cross trainer on the fading out of one song..now the two Verve songs mentioned above and the Monkeys' song both trail out for a while and thus tis easy to go further whilst listening to them.

Depending on how I feel, I might do 5 days a week this week, though I am thinking to do 3 days a week, 5 days a week, 3..5..3..5.

Also, I was worried how my hair would look cut short but thanks to camera-vision I can now see as I simply flipped the other side over and I looked OK-ish, now just to get my self down to Salon B to see what is it like in there, then to grow some balls and get it cut..BUT I checked my hair last night and it has gone UNDER the boobage, I waited so long for it to grow this long and it seems harsh to cut it, but I need a new style for work and also, tis only the top bits that will get cut, I still retain some length!

This is all..

Actually, no..I took pics for the second entry into that BBC competition, one or two came out OK but I had to make do with stuff I didn't really want as a first choice but due to stuff happening, I shall have to take my first choice pic tomorrow/this weekend.

How I Love Thee

OH MON DIEU!

The Verve have reformed.

Hopefully it mellows out the man Richard again.

This is all.

You know someone has made a fucking wicked album when you are still listening to it more than 10 years after it was made and it loses none of the shine it had the first time you heard it. There is only one album I can say that about..
