Oh, lots of apologies

Oh, I’m so sorry. It’s been a while hasn’t it.

I’ve had a bit a bonus, I bought myself a PS3! :-D , so there has been lots of gaming and happiness! Until, after plugging the HDMI cable in- I lost the sound! Still working on it! Yes I know about the phonos cable needing to be plugged into the phonos on the TV/Surround sound system. Just need to get the sound to be released from said implements! Not too bad though as if Gary’s on the decks I can’t hear it anyway.
It’s Avatar at the moment. Assassin’s Creed 2 on the way from my daddy & an empire subscription! Good times!
Guess I should delete my blog on ‘What I would like for xmas!’ At least change it.
Waiting for some emails. Jobs basically. I went out on a limb. You never know as they say!
I’ll keep you informed.

Books

Why can’t Waterstones take back ur read books? Then you could trade them in a bit like gamers do. I’m talking the nice books which you only bought 6 months ago and after u read them put them on a shelf.

I’m selling some on eBay and amazon at mo, which is ok but it would be great to take a few books into a shop and get a new one, almost free.

I love reading and get through a few books and want to share this with others. Especially if it’s a good book. They need to be shared and enjoyed. AmaZon is great but I still love going into a book store and browsing. The smell, the peace and quiet. Being in the print trade I’ll get moaned at by our engineers that the smell is glue and ink.

I’m ashamed to say sometimes I go in just for a wonder. Sorry sales peeps out there!

That’s it for tonight! Maybe more tommorow!

Www.

Busy

Hi ya
I have to admit it’s been a bit hectic round here. The house has probably been sold so we’re trying to find somewhere else to live.
We’ve hopefully found somewhere but got to go down to the agents 2moro and ‘apply’. It’s going to cost £170 just to apply. Don’t even get the money back if we don’t get accepted.
It seems to be a bit of a rip off to me but all the agents are at it. Bit of easy cash to make a few phone calls. Oh well, back to being not fair again ah! lol.
I’ll keep you all informed!

Big Issues with Global Gathering

Hi everyone,
On darling facebook the Godskitchen/ Global Gathering groups have just asked what people think of Big Issue. I presume it’s to find out whether anyone reads it so they know whether to advertise in it.
The comments which people have left have really made me think about my fellow clubbers.
From ‘Load of rubbish, but I always buy it’ to just ‘load of crap.’
I always wonder how much this actually helps the homeless guy selling it but it seems to be a lot more prejudice out there.
One comment says
’sold by alcoholics,dirty smelly people,not nice.’
Do they not think and wonder why the guys smell a bit?
‘Waste of time! Bought it a few times!’ says another. It’s not a waste of time to the guy selling it surely.
And yes, I do know, some of the vendors do have flats around the corner and have nice lives, but most don’t. How prejudice can you get against a group of people.
Hey, I’m a cyclist- bring on the crap about me being on the road and not paying road tax (I’m sorry, I DO pay road tax for my car so as I’m not in my car it covers my bike too!)
Ah yes and some of the knobs out there on bikes do cycle at night without lights, but I don’t and shouldn’t be tarred withe the same brush.
Oooo I’m all wound up now.
One person so far has said they buy the Big Issue, then give it back to the vendor to sell it again, therefore making more cash! Whoopie! Someone who has a brain!
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Weight lifted, I will go back and try not leave a further message in the comments list. :-)

Turn in the right direction

Hi,
Here I am trying to keep my writing up-to-date and I got a huge let down this week.
I got turned down for the BBC job :-( . Didn’t even make the short list. Felt a bit lost for a while and upset with myself but now I am more determined to make myself a journalist in some form.
So, I’ve placed myself on the journalism website and sorted myself out a CV. I’ll keep you posted.

We’re having to move out of our house soon so we’re looking for a new pad. Will be sad to leave this house but, as I keep getting told, it’ll be best for everyone.

I had a really bad day on Friday because we’ve got no money to go out and we both work all week. I’m guessing there’s a lot of people out there in the same situation, do you get enraged too by the fact people who sit on their arses all week and can still afford to go out to expensive gigs. I’m baffled and going to scream the ever-so-much used saying ‘IT’S NOT FAIR!’

Yes, I know life isn’t fair.  But maybe a break would be nice. I’m sure you know what I mean. Although I did think the other day as my hair band broke and I said ‘Oh for fuck’s sake, why can’t anything go right!’ I thought we never count when things go right do we? We only ever count when things go wrong. What a pessimistic bunch we are.

As I plug my iphone into my macbook, next to my ipod nano. I sit in front of a log fire and my boyfriend gets out of his warm bath. I will be going to have a bath in a bit and am sure the whole house will still be warm when I get out. Ah yes, I have a roof over my head, I have a TV to tell me what’s going on in the world, a lovely bike which I go out for a couple of hours on. I have a job – which alright I’m not that happy in but it pays me wages, which I can use to pay bills.

Life isn’t that bad is it, when looked at like that. And that’s just the ‘material’ stuff. I have a loving family & a boyfriend who I feel, as always, safe and happy with. I can smile and I’m fit (ish) and healthy.

Oh boy, maybe I should stop now. I’m going to watch X-factor! lol.

Thanks for reading! Don’t forget I’m in Somojo Magazine every month. www.somojomagazine.com

Bored at work

Oh,
I’m a bit bored. It’s the beginning of the month and should be the busiest time for me, only I’m up-to-date with everything and also waiting for others to complete their various jobs.
I’ve cleaned the office, my desk and even the toilet. Sorted out the email inbox, arranged for a parcel to be collected and then delivered to it’s new owner, even sorted out my BT account.
Ooo I might type out the purchase invoices list in a minute. Ooo fun.
I’m hoping I’ll get an email from bbc soon, telling me I’ve been invited for an interview/assessment centre in Dec. It’s going to be a tense 3 weeks waiting for that, then if I do get an invite, the worry & hoping will just get worse!
Apparently K may have latched onto the idea I’m looking for another job. D said ‘oh well, at least it won’t come as so much of a shock.’
True.
Oh well, must go and . . . not sure now. :-( roll on 5pm!

More Twitter stuff

Hi,
I’ve just tried to sign into my Twitter account and found it suspended- under investigation. :-(
No real explanation and I was just directed to the ‘rules’. Fair enough I guess so I’ve sent an email to find out why. I’ll let you know whether it was my twitter twats blog or whether it’s a problem because my myspace account updated my twitter account with the same ‘tweet’ as I had just put.

Feel all wrong because of the all crap on Twitter, why me?
Oh well. :-(

Twitter twats

Hi ya,

I’m not being derogatory against all ‘Tweeters’ (not sure if that’s the correct word) by the way, I am one of them. @dizzyjojo1980.

But it has come to my attention that a few (who shall remain nameless) have been posting rude & depressing messages to our national treasures Stephen Fry & Alan Davies. Stephen has admitted he is a tad depressed at the moment, I’m not sure if this is to do with comments in Twitter world or just his depression but I’m guessing taunts and bullying really can’t be helping.

Alan Davies has come out fighting and said the comments don’t bother him and to quote ‘doesn’t give a fuck!’ Good on him. We’re all behind you Alan.

What sad little lives these people must lead, well to be honest any bullies must be the same. If you don’t like someone or something, surely you just avoid it- not hunt them/ it down and harass them just to make you feel better? Alan Davies re-tweeted a comment ‘What makes you think we actually give a fuck about you opinion?’ or something like that. Excuse me but what makes you think we give a fuck about yours? Besides, if you don’t care about Alan’s opinion- why are you reading it? Dumb fuck.

I thought Social Networking sites were designed to re-connect people, share photos and videos and for generally chit chat and fun. Not for opinion bashing and other such harsh crapness.

To be honest I have a Facebook account, a Myspace & a twitter and I enjoy all three because most of the time it’s for a laugh and I like to keep up to date with what my friends are up to. Things like this are really pants and I think the bullies should be punished- not just blocked or banned- but properly punished. Put across the knee and smacked across the arse type punished- although not f they’re into that sexual obviously!

There that’s my two-pence worth. I’m off now to sit and chill and think about my roast dinner I’ll be cooking later. Alan Davies- good one ya, and Stephen Fry- don’t let it get to you.

Thanks xx

Horrified & upset

Hi everyone,

I was going to write about something I saw this morning on my journey into work but have heard and seen another thing this morning, since getting to work which has taken priority.

As many of you may have seen the Cutting Edge program on Channel 4 the other night about the horrific attack on Katie Piper.

I didn’t see the program but have since linked through and read her terrible story in the Mail online. Katie is so brave and is a inspiration to us all. I could hardly believe the story as I was reading it and was on the verge of tears.

I’m guessing there has been a lot of questions why? How can another human being be so cruel to someone. I can’t comprehend this myself and I don’t think there’s many people out there who could.  Cold, calculated and pure evil, I’m glad he was able to be locked up. I hope he gets his er ‘comupance’ while inside.

Katie is still beautiful and has shown everyone what’s really important in our lives. I wish her the best of luck and happiness in her future.

I read some of the messages/ comments left after the article and saw there was a lot of support for Katie, which was heart-warming.

There was one comment left which has really got to me. Instead of wishing Katie luck like the others they have twisted the story and made it about the emergency services not being able to help her for an hour because they didn’t know what they was dealing with. In fact the commenter had but she was let down the services.

Now, not being there or being an emergency services person, I don’t know for certain but I very doubt this was a decision they took lightly and I am sure they was doing all they could to make her as comfortable as possible while they found out.

How could someone have such a lack of compassion to have a go at the services, who have, as far as I can see, helped Katie back to how she is now. I don’t want to say full health but I’m sure you know what I mean.

I’m hoping I’m not the only one who is shocked by this? Yeah, I can just see the emergency services standing around having a cup of tea while Katie was screaming in agony! What an idiot.

I hope Katie never has to see that and never hears about it.

Take care Katie, all the best wishes are with you. xx

This week

Hi ya everyone,

How are you? I’ve just noticed the weird advert where the monkey thing is playing hide & seek with the bloke? Not sure what it was for. Bizarre though.

Yeah, this week, hasn’t been great to be honest. Thought it would be fab as K isn’t in the office but I’ve been really busy and it’s made the week go really quick. Blah. Not good.

Also, in other news, I’ve been asked to write for Somojo Magazine, about my cycling. A monthly slot as long as I can get it in on time! Sorry Kevin! I’ve designed the page too. I’ll be posting the link when I know it’s made it. As yet I’ve re-written it twice and still don’t like it. By 11pm tomorrow I’ll just have to send whatever I end up with! lol.

As of now I’m sitting with a glass of dissorono and coke because my friend posted on his facebook a pic of his shopping basket and there was a bottle of dissorono in it. Quite nice relaxant.

Ah Halloween this weekend. Hopefully we live too far down the hill for Trick & Treaters to come round. Not that I mind really but we probably won’t get anything in and then they’ll be disappointed.

Well that’s it for me for now. I’m sure there was loads more that I can’t think what they are right now.
:-)
