Blonde's Have More Fun.... Says Who?

I don't understand why the stereotype for women with blonde hair is slutty and dumb? And having been a blonde since September, I can personally contest the saying blonde's have more fun because the level of fun I've been having hasn't really changed....

So my hair has been 'highlighted'. I was coaxed into trying something different with it. It doesn't look half bad but honestly, I don't think I'm girly enough to sit in the hairdressers for an hour and a half every few months. I get my hair cut every six weeks, it takes 20 minutes, and as far as I'm concerned that's more than adeqaute!

The problem I have now though, is that if I don't have my hair 'highlighted' again, there will be dark roots and light tips. Conundrum?

I've lost major Lesbo Street Cred points with this post.... the shame.

Still Not Following

I still don't get it. If the old lady was Itchy Threadgoode then why wasn't Buddy jnr there to look after her?.... I just don't get it....

Fried Greens

After being told for years that I should watch this film tonight I finally did. But I don't know what to think of it. I don't know if I liked it, and I don't know what it's charm is since so many people recommended it to me.

Often you never catch the essence of a film until you watch it a second time. Maybe I need to watch Fried Green Tomatoes again for me to really understand why it's captured so many people's hearts? It's often described as being a lesbian genre film too, but what's lesbian about it? Itchy never married? Ruth never re-married? Itchy displayed tomboyish behaviour? I suppose that is kind of lesbian, after all I was a tomboy.

It was certainly an entertaining film, I watch it all the way through without wanting to fast forward, but there are films I have watched and instantly felt a sense of 'wow'. The Long Walk Home being one of them.

I just don't know. I didn't get it, and that bugs me....

Oh yeah, Sipsey killing Frank Bennett? Totally didn't think it had been her.

Simon & Phil Collins

It's a little dark, but I think you can get the gist. This video of Simon was taken while we were getting ready to go for dinner in Lanzarote. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

Good times :-)

Sometimes You See....

....Things That Are So Amazing That They Take Your Breath Away.



And as we took off back to England.







Soooo exactly three weeks after getting home form Lanzarote, we booked a weeks holiday to the Algarve in May. After all, how can I prove Lanzarote is the best if I don't experiment with other destinations? :-)

Almost a Decade.

8 years tomorrow since my childhood friend passed away.

I'm at work tomorrow because someone booked the day off before I did. I'm a little angry about that as I like to go to the place where.... where she rests? I tell her how I'm doing, ask how she's doing... she never replies though, of course.... Actually, I suppose she may reply but I can't hear her yet.

I often wonder what career path she would have taken, because honestly.... I have no idea. I have thought maybe she would have been a lawyer, but she was too carefree for that and too gentle to have to battle to prove innocence or guilt.

Shop assistant doesn't fit. Doctor?.... Actually, that's a maybe.... but having to listen to people's health problems wouldn't be stimulating enough for her. Nurse? Nope. Heck no. Hairdresser? No that's too fussy for her. Teacher?


Yes.... Teacher. She was smart enough, motivated enough and loved learning enough for her to achieve something so amazing. Miss Hedges, a teacher. I like it.

Lanzarote Tomorrow!

Dear Diary, I love Lost in Austen, Jemimer Rooper is gorgeous... oh, and I'm off on Holiday tomorrow.

Going to have fun much? Oh hell yes!





PS: I hate flying....

TeddyBears Picnic

I went camping at the weekend with my friends Stacy, Ally and Katie. I had an absolutely amazing time, it was so much fun! So much happened that I can't write about it all, and I took so many pictures that I'm trying to sift through them so I can put some here.

I will say one thing though. Next time I go camping, I'm buying an air bed.

Sleep Where Art Thou?

While explaining to my friend that my sleep was being disturbed by the humid feel to the air during the night, she told me that she was having trouble sleeping for a different reason.... which amused me!

"It took me a while to get to sleep, but when I did get to sleep I wasn't asleep for long because the woman nextdoor started shouting at her husband, so I shouted at her, then went to pee."

It's the casual way in which she told me that she had gone to pee after shouting at her neighbour! lol! Because obviously shouting at your neighbour at 6am is normal, and the first thing you do after shouting is pee.

This is turning into a blog about the funny things people around me are saying, but I can't help it if they're funny!

Tent Mayhem!

It says to put the pins in the poles, but how do you put a pin in a pole if there insn't a hole?

HOW?

TELL ME HOW!!!!

At this rate I will be sleeping ON the tent, not IN it! I'm beginning to think that I'm not cut out for this camping lark.... hahaha

Those Things....

I like that my dear friend deeb says "those things" after she has wittered in a long sentance. Teehee.

I'm just home from a house warming bbq that had music and laughter and friends.... Those things

Hug smiley! :-)

Borrowed

"if Superwoman knocked on my door and wanted my Skittles it wouldn’t matter if she were gay or straight I’d still let her taste the rainbow."

Bridget McManus owns that line, but I am So totally, and unashamedly borrowing it.

You Know You're a Really Big Lesbian When....

You Know You're a Really Big Lesbian When....

You're flipping through the music channels on sky then stay on one channel that is playing a song you don't particularly like just because the woman in the video is rather fit.

You watch the last episode of this seasons Lost THREE times just to get your Evangeline Lilly fix(and it's only been finished for five days).

You watch episodes of the South of Nowhere online IN FRENCH just because you NEED your Spashley fix.

You trip over a curb because you were oogling women's goodies.

You spend hours playing on a video editing program making a video of your favourite TV lesbian couple. JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE SO CUTE!!

You assume women coming into your shop to buy condoms are using them on their battery operated friends rather than things attatched to the male of the species.

Your girlfriend accuses you of being too upset that there will be no more Spashley.

The n network? I hate you! I give you a glare that only an angry woman can give!

Nature

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more
