Sticking to Tradition
Surprise! It's a Bankholiday Monday in the UK and it's....RAINING. Ok so don't all gasp at once but the sky has opened above us and the rain is falling in almost icy sheets. The sky is so gray I have my light on and whilst I would love to comment on how the branchs of the trees are being whipped into a frenzy by the ferocious winds I can't as from here all I can see is telephone lines bouncing around. I mean it's still windy but bouncing telephone lines doesn't have quite the same literary effect does it!
Last night I had a weird dream, it might not sound it by the time I finish putting fingers to keyboard but thats the way with dreams, they just evapourated the more you try and recount them. Anyway I was in Germany it was WWII and I was trying to escape to France but there was some form of time machine too (stop laughing I can hear you) and I was only a kid. I can't really remember much more than the basic concept now but I know I was desperate to leave and I am fairly certain I was supposed to be German. Who knows. It certainly beats dreams of hospital wards and hypodermics.
Haven't done much over the weekend (hangs head in shame), went to the supermarket yesterday and had an odd experience with a couple of guys. That sounds pornographic when taken out of context. It was pouring ith rain when I left the store so I had my trusty brolly in one hand and my shopping dragging down my other hand. I had to squeeze to get past these two blokes who were taking up the whole path along the front of the store and they were aware of me too as one looked right at me and still refused to move. Anyway, it was too wet and dank outside to be bothering with all that so I had walked off the premesis and half way up to the main roundabout when the same two guys cross the road and start walking directly in front of me, they even slowed down.
Being paranoid as I am I had clutched my brolly firmly and was ready to give them a run for their money. Well I slowed down too as I was not going to move past them and not be able to see them but they slowed down to almost standstill and I had no choice. I walked past them and sped up. The road curves round at the roundabout (funny that) enabling you to see the path you have just taken, as I looked the two strange men had crossed the road to the other side and started walking back down to the shop!? Now if the weather had been nice I would have assumed their girlfriends had gone inside to pick up the shopping and they were just skiiving outside but it was pouring with rain and pretty cold compared to the recent weather. Maybe I see ghosts where there are none but they appeared three times in the short walk home and their behaviour made little sense.
Ordered my dad his fathers day and birthday presents, nothing special but it's difficult to get stuff delivered up there when you don't have a credit/debit card. If they still aren't seaking to me after that then they really are more childish than even I gave them credit for. 7 weeks of not speaking to the one child that actually does still talk to them and all because we invited family to our wedding. Life is too short, I guess if they don't want to be a part of mine then that is their problem as I can't always be the mediator in this family.
Watched: Ugly Betty, this programme really is pure class. I am such a chick!
Listening to: Lies for the Liars by The Used. Loving the theatricality of Their first single (esp the strings) and The Hospital kind of makes me relate to the past 6 months. Some really catchy guitar riffs and interesting lyrics.
Reading: Nothing really, unless you count Kerrang! magazine but I was bored.
Feeling: achey, I don't know what I did to my shoulders in bed last night but they are pretty sore. Also pretty content today, I love the rain the problem is it makes me want to cuddle up on the sofa with a nice hot drink and good movie which is an issue as most hot drinks make me ill and there are no decent movies at the moment damnit.
Ok so I have ranted enough except for one last quick thing. The phone company I work for sucks, they have tried to charge me 200 for fixing my phone socket which is their equipment and broken by flood damage. if the boxe outside had been damaged by the flood they wouldn't have had the balls to ask me to pay. Ongoing complaint with the useless call centre staff. This might take a while to resolve.
