Busy..Busy..

Hey all ;-)

Been really busy the past week and a bit.
and at the moment,
I've got a stinking cold, and I need to get better before work in morning.

ok for starters...

spent most of the early part of last week cleaning my flat and unpacking everything.
finally I have finished unpacking after living in the flat since May.
the place is looking better now.

Wednesday, Rebecca came over to spend the day with me, as it was her day off.
which was cool, as we had alot to catch up on.

Friday, I started my new job at Natural World.
only did 4 hours, but it was good.
made a few mistakes on the till, but that was to be expected.
not a bad bunch of people I'm working with.

In the evening, I went to the paranormal chat at Trekkers.
it was alright, nothing that special took place.
Hopefully on the Dec one, we will actually discuss the paranormal or do something worthwhile on the night.

Saturday, I worked at the Florists by myself for most of it as well.
Only had one of the drivers from Rams for a few hours in the morning to keep me company before she had to go.
at least I was kept busy, and took lots of money.
made over £400. by the end of the evening.

had a couple of drinks after work with James and Ian, before I went home.

Sunday was a very emotional day for me.
I worked at Natural World from 11am to 5pm,
spent the time stocking up and tidying the stockroom out, putting things in order,etc.
when I went home, I crashed for a few hours, before waking up and getting dinner ready.
why I was emotional was Sunday the 16th was the one year anniversary of mum's passing.
(I don't like saying death, when it concerns mum)
so I really was low as anything, I was not feeling too well either,
and all I could think about was the day it all happened, living thru those events again as if fresh.
it was not good.

Melanie rang me up to see if I was alright, hopefullt she was that evening.
and Rebecca rang me up for an hour or so, to cheer me up and to make sure that I'm alright.

I must have passed out after 10pm. as the next thing I remember was waking up around 1am.
I felt like shit, so I crawled into bed.

Woke up yesterday morning, all stiff and aching all over in my back, neck, etc.
felt like death's bitch.
so I just wrapped up warm and stayed in front of the TV, with a few naps in between.

Got up this morning, feeling a bit better then yesterday, but still feeling like shit.
I had to get out of the flat today, as I have no food or drink, and I don't really want to starve.
so I'm off to sainsburys later.

I'm supposed to be going out tonight with everyone at work, to the cinema to watch Matrix:Revolutions.
but I don't know yet if I can make it or not.

Reborn

I've already posted this on my poem site and GHUK message board
but It's bloody good as I just started typing it with out thinking -

Reborn -

My soul cries out loud
as I wake up from the living nightmare
that is life
reborn in this new body
a new life
after death
a phoenix from the ashes of the living
opening of the eyes of the new
feeling the colours of this new life
seeing the world as if new
hearing the heartbeat of this born again body
opening the mouth and screaming that silent cry
of the soul that is fresh,
fresh like the bitter cold that surrounds your naked body
waking up and stretching your new mind
to the limitless thoughts that dance around you
knowing that you are one of the newborn
one of the angels of this new world.

Mini-Rant

Had our First Medium Open Circle on Friday.
and It went really well.
was really Impressed by the whole evening
and by certain members who displayed their "gifts" when I had thought they did not have any.
Had no idea what to expect on the evening, but for our first session, I think we did damn good.
Big Thanks to Alison and Lorraine for showing us the way.
and Big Thanks to Sarah and Martin for the use of the location.

Did another shift at the Florists on Saturday, worked with Judy.
which was cool, we were busy up until 1pm ish, then it went really dead.
I took around £220. In under an hour while Judy was on her break.
Christ I was swamped by customers...lol

Checked in with my new job while I was on my break, I start this coming Friday.
so there is no real point in me working at Debenans today (supposed to start there today at 7am)
plus the fact that I might be working at Rams this week as well - Rams is our Bletchley branch (it's in another town)
Judy was telling me that she wants to employ me at her shop, but Mark (area-manager) does not want to pay me the full wages for my age which is over £5 an hour, he is only willing to pay me the bare minium which is in the reach of £3.60....like fuck Im gonna work for that wage.
if he gets off his ass and pays me for what I'm worth, then yes I will go over to bletchley and work at Rams full time.

~ok rant over~

Heena and Bunny came over to see me while I was at work, which cheered me up alot
James and Ian came over as well, about the same time in fact.

After work, we all went up to Moon Under The Water (local pub) for a few drinks and a chat.
Heena & Bunny could not stay for long, so Heena said she would call me later.
Ian had to go as well, as he had a party to go to.
so James and I finished our beers and went over to Chillies for an Indian meal.
A typical british Saturday - work, beer, Indian curry....ahhhh...bliss beyond words.....lmao
damn good night !!!

Yesterday (sunday) I just stayed at home and chilled, watched TV all day in fact.

I might be meeting Heena later, not too sure yet.

Interviews and Stuff

Hey ;-)

I've had an interesting week so far...
Had the workmen over on Tuesday
and they finally sorted out the kitchen taps
and the leak from the bathroom that was pouring water into downstairs flats kitchen.

Started to finish unpacking everything else at last in my flat,
and joy oh joys....I found some of the RPG books that I had thought I had lost during the move to the flat.

Had an interview today for a Christmas temp job at Natural World, and I was given the job on the spot.
Damn I am that good...lol
Hopefully after Xmas, something more permenet will come about.
I was going to start work at Debenans on Monday morning working as a temp in the stock room.
but it was only for two weeks and not worth it,
plus Nicki is working there, and she has still not forgiven me after we lived together and I moved out.
so I rather not deal with the bloody hassle.

Vicki rang me up this morning telling me about a ghost she saw at her work place last night, she wants me to have look into it when I visit her at Christmas.

It's the open circle meeting tonight...should be interesting.

Lots of Important Stuff

Good Morning,

I've been so bloody busy with work and other things that I have had no time to come here and update or do anything else really...Like watch TV, read a book.
or anything else apart from work, drink after work, and have dinner/supper.

Bloody Tired from working over 6 days in a row....
But it felt bloody good, and I really wish that I could still work there for good.
I have finally found a job that I love, workmates that I love working with and hanging out with,
and I can't work there on a fulltime basis, I'm only a casual part timer....It fucking sucks.
I love being a Florist, It is so cool.
I'm thinking about going to college next year to train to be a proper florist.

Anywhoo...Got lots to update and to settle a few things that has gone on while I have been offline this week.

Sat 25th I was going to go over to Martin and Sarah's for a social gathering,
But I posted on the last Journal entry that I could not be arsed to go as I was tired, etc.
Somehow that entry was mistaken for me lying to two of my closest friends,
that was not it guys.

I had a busy day at work and I was fucking tired when I got home,
I did have a council bloke who was gonna come round after 6pm to fix my kitchen taps as the night before he had not had the right parts to do the job,
but typical council cowboy he did not turn up until the next day
when I was out updating this site last, he left a note saying that he had too many emergencies that night.

I would never lie to my friends,
Only to the people I dislike, and you two are not in that category.

anyway...I hope that clears things up between us, and as for the Investigation tapes, yeh my bad, I should have watched them while I was having supper or something.
sorry...

ok....Now for the rest of the week...

Like I said, been working every day at Just Flowers with Debbie,
The best boss I have ever worked for...Apart from total respect for the lady, she is also a damn good friend.

Monday evening after work, I went upto Weatherspoons in the XScape building with James and wasted most of that day's wages on beer, had more then 8 pints, I know that I out Drinked James (he's a bit of a lightweight)
Just need to chill with a nice cold beer in my hand.

Tuesday, I got a really nice letter from Uncle Terry.
I've only met him the once, 9 or 10 years ago before my dad passed away.
Nice enough Gentleman, I just need to get to know him alot better, I've not got that much family left now.

Bumped into Darrell and Melanie during the week (can't remember which day),
Used to hang around with them when I was at school (Middle school and High school),
they want to meet up with me and a few other old "friends" for a school reunion/boozy filled night out.
should be interesting as I have not really hung out with these people since leaving school in '92.

It's Heena's birthday today... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!!
Was goona go out with her today and treat her, but she's a bit busy today, so maybe tomorrow.

Finally entered into the 21st century, Bought a DVD Player the other night from WHSmith, looks very snazzy.

Vicki, a very dear and close friend of mine is coming down this month to see me,
and to cheer me up after a few problems I have had this past few weeks.
can't wait until I see her, I've not seen her since Mum's funeral last year.

Which reminds me, Her one year anniversary is coming up on the 15th....Time to reflect on my life this past year and what I have planned for the next one, which if things do get off the ground on what I'm planning, It should be bloody good.

Mark came over to the shop the other day, and showed off his son to me, his name is Harvey, and my gawd it looks like him as well....Chubby and white....lol.....j/k
need to go over to see him and Sharon at some point this week.

Friday was HALLOWEEN !!!
Worked all day with Judy, which we were really busy, in fact we have been really busy all week.
after work, went home to have a bath, shave, and to sort my costume out for Rebecca's party.
Originally I was going as the Grim Reaper, I bought the costume and everything, the week before,
but I only tried it on the Friday morning...And well...It kinda did not fit that well....Heck I could have gone as Death...But I would have been a very Chubby Grim Reaper...Which somehow would not look right...lol
so...Being the genius that I am....I altered the costume with my amazing skills at sewing and cutting cloth material. Bought myself a new LightSaber and I went as a dark Jedi Knight...Looked damn good as well.
The party was one of the best night's I've had in a long time, we drank loads, sang out loud to the cheezy music in the back ground, danced around (and yes, even I danced, got dragged on to the floor to dance by Debbie), eat loads of nice food, told loads of jokes and had a damn good night of it, I was the last one to leave at 3am.
as Ken (becca's husband) went to bed, Mark (becca's dad) went home not feeling to well, Debbie (our boss) went home about 20 mins before me.
damn good night...And the punch was lethal....Very strong.....Got lots of photos of the evening, some of them are quite embassing as well...Hehehehe *wicked laugh*

got home and had 2 and a half hours sleep before getting up again to get ready for work.
I did not have a hangover, I was just on a come down from a good night, so I was slightly quite that Debbie thought something was up with me.
Heena came by for a while and we chatted about stuff, also had a quick chat with Michelle, hope things are alright with her after last week.
Sat was my last day (so far) at Just Flowers, I really am gonna miss working with there.
at least I've got the work xmas dinner to look forward to in Dec.

Sat evening, Martin came over to give back the three videos that he borrowed off me, we chatted about stuff that has happened this past week, and sorted out alot of stuff.
went to bed really early that night (9pm ish) due to being tired and nothing on TV.
everything was going really well until about 3.20am, when I was woken up by someone banging and kicking on my front door, so I got up, put on my dressing gown and grabbed the first weapon I had in reach, which was my axe.
so I went downstairs, ready to kick some ass for disturbing my sleep.
opened the front door, and there was Andy (my next door neighbour) bare chested, with blood stains on his jeans and his arm wrapped up in bloody bandages and part of his head covered in a bloody bandage.
Turns out that early on in the evening, Steve (the jebus lover) had went about and attacked Andy in a drunken fit of rage, by cutting his head and stabbing him in the arm, before ringing the police and the paramedics to tell them what he had done. he was arrested and Andy was sent to the ER. and then he was stiched up and turfed out of the hospital (typical MK)
why Andy was banging on my door at 3.20am was for help in getting back into the flat as he had no keys.
so I tried breaking his door down with little success, so with my axe, I broke the door window and put my arm thru to undo the door lock.
I did cut my finger a bit with the broken glass, but It was alright.
went into the flat, blood everywhere in the kitchen where the attack took place.
I made him a cup of coffee and sat with him for a bit, before placing a peice of cardboard on the broken window and saying goodnight, and that I would call on him in the morning.
anyway, finally got to sleep around 5am ish, and when I woke up later in the morning, all I could hear was laughter and lots of swearing from downstairs.
turns out that Steve was let out of jail in the morning, and Andy did not press any charges against him as he was his friend, and they were only drunk when the attack happened.
bloody idiots.....next time I wont help them again...let the buggers kill each other...twats.

and that is almost it for my week's update....will update alot more during the week
as I need to meet up with Martin and Sarah this week, find myself a job, and do some other important stuff that I cant think of right now.

laters...
