wishlist

"practice random kindness and acts of senseless beauty"

go on... go out and do this now. leave some money in the coffee machine so someone gets a free drink. wash someone else's coffee mug in work without telling them. buy a friend flowers 'just because'. stick up a poem on a noticeboard. go and ask in an old people's home if there is anyone who doesn't ever get visitors and sit with them for a while. smile at a stranger. let someone pull out of a side street in front of you. call your mum or dad or grandparents to tell them you love them. make someone a cake. draw this saying and stick it on a noticeboard where people will see.

spread beauty through your life. you can change the world like this.

Yeah, I'm here on a Saturday. Few things to say... firstly, Paul signed my guestbook, awwww. Isn't he sweet? ;)

Secondly, Leila is back. I am so glad. I missed you sweetie.

Lastly, and the reason I'm here on a Saturday....

I left the job yesterday. The one that's been driving me mad. And I start the new one on Monday. And the plan is that I won't be permanently bored and constantly updating. So sometime soon I will come in one evening and get the new version FINISHED and everything will be good :) But basically I'll be updating less and writing journal entries from home more to bring in. Also I'll be visiting you all less. But I still love you all and will be round as much as I can. Just don't want to get back into bad habits.

See you all soon.... <3 to all

And a little livejournal entry. I forgot to say before.

Liverpool won the Uefa cup last night!!!!!

And for those who I sent the survey to saying that I don't watch sport... generally speaking, I don't. I only watch once in a blue moon. But I have a soft spot for Liverpool (and for Newcastle). And it was a damned good game. Although letting four (FOUR!!!!) goals through after being two up wasn't their best laid plan ;)

Don't ask your doctor for antibiotics unless you really need them. Honestly. Just don't.

You Americans are missing out. You might have had a fiasco of an election, but you didn't get to see Al Gore or Dick Cheney punching someone who'd just thrown an egg at them. Funny :D

It's nice to know that we British have learnt our lesson that your vote counts. I mean OK, she's changed her mind, but still....

Democracy... neither the Labour party nor the Tories come anywhere close to representing my views. The Lib Dems come closest, although they're not perfect. But last night William Hague was shown on the news saying basically that if you vote Lib Dem you're wasting your vote, that there are only two parties that can win.

Democracy. Don't you just fucking love it?

Anyway, the tories are looking at being wiped out. My best case (realistic) scenario would be Labour getting in with a small majority, Lid Dems coming second and the Tories relegated to third.

I can dream.....

I keep thinking it's Thursday. This is starting to depress me.

There's a new livejournal entry.

This seems like a good idea, just to make people think more about what they're getting into. But apparently it contains such gems as making sure you know your partner's birthday and favourite food. What a wasted opportunity.

New (short) livejournal entry.

If you're bored you can go read my peach entries. Sooner or later they will be linked up properly, probably in their own little section, but in the meantime I just don't want to lose my copies ;)

And Michael Stipe has *officially* come out.

US outlaws medical use of cannabis.

Well, that's just a bit crap really if you ask me.

The article also links this article about the possible effects of decriminalisation. I see nothing to convince me that it's worse than alcohol.

New livejournal entry.

I don't have time to write a proper journal entry. I only wish I did. It was gorgeous. The weather was perfect. I wish I could have bottled up the feeling for another day.

But it doesn't work like that.

I hope your weekend was as good as mine. Hope you're smiling.
