I love Blogger, But...

There seems to be a tiny thing wrong with the "next blog" feature.

As you can all tell, I am a English speaking individual, I can only speak English, I am aware some of you people are bi-lingual, but sadly I am not one of those people. =(

I completely understand people from other countries will write their own blog in their native language, but could there be a check box feature, that allows you to only receive blogs of the languages you speak!?

As you have check boxes you can choose more than one language, and at set up, you know the most part of what kind of content you are going to be submitting, so if you are going to be writing about your own life, you're probably going to be doing it in your native language, if you are going to be mostly publishing pictures, you can choose a "universal" check box, obviously, it's would be one of the settings you could change later on, if you want...

But it just annoys me that I have to filter through a lot of content I can't even understand, and makes me feel a little like I can't be arsed to filter through and check out other peoples blogs. Which makes for a poor community. =(

Also I reckon there should be a forum, to bring people together, I don't get nearly enough traffic for it to be successful but I hope someone sees this and sees the light as it were!

=)

Maybe I was a...

Little hasty, I felt like my head was about to explode yesterday, but today, after a whole ton of sleep, I feel much better!

Yesterday I slept pretty much all day, watched some TV then went to bed... it was quite a chilled out day (perhaps a little too laid back), I won't be getting that hammered for a while, I think my body gave up on me. lol

I'm currently watching daytime telly which is fairly interesting right now, because the programme is about religious cults, it's interesting the lengths people go to, too be part of these extreme circumstances. They will remove themselves from friends and family, and they will move half way across the world, how do groups like this grab hold of such power over people, it doesn't seem possible to control other human beings, they have free speech and independent thought, but yet, they will just follow like sheep off of a cliff when brought into this kind of circumstance.

I'm never drinking again

Seriously, I feel fucking awful.

Telly...

Seriously, what the fuck is it with Sunday telly?
I know like half the population of England no longer attend church, and I'm not middle aged, so I don't wish to do DIY or go to a garden centre, so what the fuck is it with Sunday telly? Telly is supposed to relieve you from boredom not make you want to scratch your eyeballs out and curl into a ball...

You would think that seeing as this is the weekend, and this is the time most people have off during the week they would pack loads of cool stuff into these two days... but no, they just play re-runs all day... And when they're not playing re-runs they're putting on crap like "the heaven and earth show" or "songs of praise" seriously, I'm an agnostic, and struggle enough trying to explain my beliefs, I don't wanna watch your evangelical crap, presented by has been ex singers.

Also, why is it that fifth gear is just so shit... Top gear is just so much better... Top Gear Dog rules, doesn't like cars, and pukes on James May, hilarious! lol

1.30am

hello, I figured I'd pop on while the fiancé is napping before bed!

So I've only been away a few hours, to be honest, nothing much has happened, but I've watched two movies and I'm watching a documentary, about Comic books, and about who created spiderman, Steve Dikco, apparently did, not Stan Lee, although, I know nothing about comic books and who created what or who left where or when, but I did find it interesting, and I love pop art, and comic books are something I enjoy visually, although not in any depth, to be honest, I've never studied them, my brother, Chris, absolutly loves Marvel comics, I brought him a collectors edition marvel folder for Christmas, it was an awesome present, and he loved it!

Although this is by the by you don't care about that, although, you've read this far, so you might care a little about my life and my past, although to be honest, I guess you will find out as time passes, weird things about me, and maybe a few interesting stories too!

Okies, so the movies I watched tonight, from my PVR (we've been through this, it's like tivo or sky + but we don't pay a monthly subscription, please keep up) Blast from the past, now, I've seen this movie before, frankly, it rocks, it's an awesome movie, okay nothing too heavy, I do watch serious movies, but I like my whimsical stuff too, anyway, for those of you who've not seen it, it's about a scientist (clever, but totally mental) in the 60's who takes his family into a Neculear shelter, that he built, during the cold war, anyway, they stay down there for decades, and then they send the son up to the surface (something he's never seen as he was born in the shelter) and it's about his story... it's pretty awesome!

And the other movie I watched was Eurotrip, and I'm from England... and jesus christ, was it a shitty film, about shitty things, It was the Trashiest, lamest plot line, with not only shit actors, just horrible horrible americanised stereotypes, Amsterdam for example: drug taking sex addicts.... wtf... it irritated me, these people have obviously never even spoken to a european... I don't think of myself as European, I class my self as English or at a push British... European, is more of a mainland Europe thing, but the point is, that kind of film promotes negative stereotypes. I just don't see how that kind of film can be popular... also that guy on the train, really wasn't funny... and a horrible take on the hostel train guy, and to be honest, Hostel wasn't even that great to begin with...

Blah enough ranting on the shittyness of that particular film, and enough from me...

I can hear Marvin snoring (is it bad when even the people inside your head are bored to shit by what you have to say?) G'night Marv

G'night guys!
Take Care

Hello!

Damnit, I've tried starting my blog like 10 times in the past hour... and i've successfully got this far, In the hour that I have set up a digg account for this blog, I have digged my fiancés blog, and I've added ads as you have probably seen, exciting huh?!

So back to the everyday stuff, (I only got distracted a little bit then, you wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't mentioned it, but I know I was, so you must too! and again) this is the longest time I've ever taken over this much text, this is a pretty lame attempt at a blog, Marvin will be dissapointed.

How is Marvin you ask, Marvin is in my head people, why do you care? If you do, he says he's fine, honest.

I am not being watched while I blog by my fiancé, he is awesome, but sometimes he can be rather distracting, when I'm trying to get stuff done, as I share his Desk, I can see what he's doing, and most of the time he is doing more interesting stuff than me, or I'm just being a nosey cow, to be honest, it's mostly the latter! Fun stuff!

How come, when you're sitting next to someone who is online, they seem to always be doing much more interesting stuff, even if it's just a case of checking out their facebook (which always has more comments than yours) or adding new comments to things, and I always seem to get absorbed into reading something if someone else is reading it first...

My fiancé love me sitting next to him, I've just been told this, he says it's great because he can put me off and make me lose track of what it was that I was doing. I find it highly irritating at times, because I had things I wanted to do, but can't remember for the life of me what it was I was going to say or do, which is annoying by anyones standards, but never mind, it'll come back (I hope) when my brain gets focused again, although, I'm drinking whiskey now, so chances are it actually won't!

Damnit, got distracted again, (by half life 2 if you're interested) this blog entry is falling on it's arse right now, because I can't get into the flow of a proper writer, If I had a deadline I'd be screwed, thank god you people are still with me, and come here by choice or else I'd be fired! lol

Right, knuckle down Alice, bah I can't do it, you guys will just have to bear with the disjointed blog of an insane woman.

Okay so today, I was woken up by a call from my mum, she's awesome and was lending us her car, so we could go shopping, for food and such like, which is what we need to sustain our gaming and blogging, so you people can read up on all the stuff I am thinking about (this place is awesome for venting), we were suppose to go shopping on our own, but we ended up just going to Aldi with my mum, we got everything we wanted, and totally didn't buy anything we didn't need, and wasn't on the list! (go us!)

It was bloody warm out when we left the house, which is cool, although we bitched about the weather, it was nice, even for someone who usually avoids the sun like the plague, I'm a red head with a very pale complextion, and frankly I burn if I spend too much time in the sun, which sucks ass, I normally don't leave the house without factor 30 on, which is good for my skin, but not so great for speed of getting ready on hot mornings! lol

Anyway, I'm bloody hot and i am a bit tired of trying to concentrate, when I quite obviouly can't.
Hope you had a good day,
See you all again soon

2.22am and my little world

I'm not tired.. wtf guys?
Anyone have any ideas to make you go to sleep?
Seriously, I'm not sleepy, I should be sleepy, my fiancé is sick, and I'm not feeling 100% I feel pretty gross to be honest, but i'm alright, I've dosed myself up on Beechams cold and flu tablets, so that's helping!

I just finished watching Elizabethtown, we recorded it on our Humax (it's a PVR, or like a tivo for you american types) it was pretty epic to be honest, only confirmed that I definately want to do a roadtrip across america (or at least across a few states)! It was your normal chickflick affair, nothing too crazy, I wouldn't say it was ground breaking but a definate good film to watch with your girlfriend (you guys are hopeless with movies sometimes!) lol it was pretty cheesy though!

Sometimes I feel pretty odd just sitting here blogging, I don't know what it is, it's like writing to an audience, and I don't even know if I have one, I don't know how to explain it too you, but frankly, it's a bit odd, cause I might be talking to YOU but YOU might not exist, it might just be me chatting to my imaginary friends... Am I talking to my imaginary friends? Should I start naming you Bob, Eric, Frank, Lucy, Marvin, Janey, Mary... I could go on, but it's probably the 2.30 am paranoia kicking in, Anyway, it's nice to meet you, you guys, I figure that I can just rely on you always being here, maybe I will start adressing you people, so that I don't feel so weird blogging to myself! So, comment me people, so I know that I'm not really alone, and so I know you people are real! And So I don't start adressing the blog to Marvin, (isn't Marvin a cool name?) 2.30 is a good time for names apparently!

Hmm, I figure, if you're reading this far you have a longer attentionspan than I realised, and frankly, I salute you reading my 2am ramblings, I should stop mentioning the time, you know that it's freakishly late/early, depending on how you look at it, It's one of those "is the glass half full or half empty" situations.

Blogging is like letting go of nothing and everything all at once, you can take me for who I am, or you don't, I suppose if you like me you'll stick around and listen to my storys and schemes, and , if you don't you'll never return and become a part of my life so briefly I'll never know if I like you, or even if we could be friends!

For those of you who are sticking around, hello, I hope I'm not boring you, I know a few of my existing friends will have already found the blog, and read a little, and left never to return, but for those of you who are new friends, I can't wait to meet you, and learn something about you, I'm always here for tea and buscuits, and I'll always have an ear for you, if you have taken the time to read what i have to say, and sometimes maybe you'll read between the lines and realise, all is not what it seems, well maybe it is what it seems, because it's to early/late to lie, this is pretty much what I'm thinking, thus the randomness of it all! And I'm not talking about cheese kinda random I'm talking about the chaos of my thoughts.

Chaos of my thoughts, brings me to my next point, for those of you who are still reading (I have little faith that it's not just me and Marvin) My mind is pretty much always going at a million miles per hour, being inside my head is like being constantly in thought and motion, I see things as a creative person, I am not what you would call average, I try to fit in, but i'm always the person who is on the outside the window looking in on everyone else, I am never really 100% part of anyone group, i've always been the same. I find it hard to find my real place in society, I don't know why, but I have found my place with my fiancé, he is a great guy and we click, we have a 11 year age gap (sometimes 10), but when I'm with him, I just feel like I'm my real self, there is nothing better than knowing that no matter what happens, you have someone you truely love, without any question or real thought!

Marv, you still awake? Bah even the imaginary people have gone to bed, it's awful to be honest, now it's just me on my todd! lol

But seriously, I feel alive and myself, when I'm with my fiancé, something tells me deep inside that this is it, this is the only person I will ever be with, I will never be with another man, because I know that I am happy and at one with myself when I am with him!

I love him completely, and with everything I have, he will never leave my heart, because he is the whole world to me, and nothing can ever change the love that I have for him!

And on that rather soppy note, I am going to leave you, I apologise for the ramblings, and thank you for your patience, You are welcome to ramble to me anytime!

See you soon,
Alice

Another blog, because you all enjoy it!

Hello, how're you?
So I said I'd brought canvases, today, I used one of them, it's only small, but I feel happy with it now it's finished it's just a simple night sky idea, with a twist, of having bright colourful flowers mixed in with small stars in the distance, I like it for sure! I hope you do too!
As I said, I've been shopping with my fiancé, I got a load of bargains on tops, none of them cost me more than 3 quid, which is awesome! First off, I got a long green top with a scarf, which I thought might be cool for a night out, or work, it's good for both, so we will see!


The rest of the tops are just summer wear to be honest, I don't have much to say about them, but there is, detail on this one that says "variety of colour" which is a little weird, as it's green and black, so not exactly colourful, but I like it (obviously I like it, I brought it tbh)

Turquoise top, for summer, thought it was nice, has stars on it! =) yay!
Another Turquoise, and stars top, again, just for the beach or sunny days, i thought it was cool!
And finally on the clothes front, I'll let you see a picture of me in the white halter neck and the hot pants, so now you know what I look like, you can stop wondering! lol, Fun stuff!
Yeah the hot pants have a black background and white stars, which I thought was cool, also, can you see a bit of a theme emerging for this shopping trip? lol

Anyway, Back to normal service, I'm all out of pictures for this blog entry!

Right, back to links and stuff, just a couple today, I know a lot of you will have heard of stumble upon but really, you should install it and give me a big thumbs up! Here is the link, www.stumbleupon.com not only can you help me out, you can find a whole ton of stuff, that's interesting and funny! =)

Okay now this is listed in my bookmarks in a folder names "stuff that confused the heck out of me!" click here for insanity honestly, if you can tell me what the hell that is all about, then please do not hesitate to let me know, it's really bloody odd! =)

Anyway that's enough rambling and pictures for now, I hope you're all well

Shopping! =)

Today has been a good day, I got up, had a nice bacon sarnie for breakfast, which was lovely, had a nice chilled out afternoon in town with my fiancé, which was awesome!
Not only did I get new art supplies, an A3 sketch pad, and 2 small canvases, which is great, I already started in the A3 sketch pad, I will show you some of my stuff, when I've actually completed some of the peices! lol I also went and got some bargains in Primark, some hotpants which are black with white stars, and I also got a white halter, and 3 other tops, I will get pictures of them all tomorrow, it's far too late to be pissing about with the camera! lol
We had a chilled out afternoon, and even had a half of Leffe in the pub, which was nice!
anyway, I'm not really in the mood right now, so I'll update this tomorrow!

Hello there!

I've been stumbling for the past few days, which is lovely, you find all kinds of stuff that no only interests me, but a whole ton of stuff that confuses and entertains! Now I'm English, as you've probably worked out, as I've said that stuff in my about me!

Now what have I found? Well, I've found all kinds of things, I suppose here is a start, I park like an idiot.com Which is not only entertaining it's something we can all relate too, although I'm pretty sure a few of those have the sticker photo-shopped on! Anyway, That's my link of the day, because I want to start off with something not so serious, now I know, that it's just a blog, that no one is reading just yet, but I still don't wish to start off with something that bores the hell out of you, and makes you want to scratch your eyeballs out, I'm actually a nice friendly person, and I'd rather keep you on my side for now! lol

Another place you should check out, is a fellow blogger (is that the correct term, or is it b-logger I have no idea to be honest, and I'm sure you don't care about my whitterings, lets move on), my fiancé's blog to be exact, and here would be that link diadoart.blogspot.com I love his work, he is always updating and changing, and I'm sure if you ask nicely, he might even sell you some stuff, if you like it a lot! lol (actually I'm cirtain!)

Today, has been fairly quiet, but, my mum called about 5ish, and she invited us to the beach, Fiancé didn't want too come, which is fine, so my brother, my mum, and I all went for a quick drive to the beach in hove, we took the frisbee, but didn't play, we sat and chatted for a few hours, we even had a picnic, which was lovely, caught up on my brothers life, which makes a change because he's nearly 16 and normally off out about about with his friends (or hanging in his room) because that's what 16 year old boys do! =)

On the drive home, we sang to Alanis Jagged little Pill, which always makes me smile, from ear to ear, because it's a wicked album!

Anyway, that's enough rambling, for now at least I will leave you be, and let you get on with your life.

Hopefully see you soon

A new Blog, A new Start!

Well hello there, good to see you, visiting my blog, aren't I a lucky bunny to have your audience, I hope you come back, and check out what I've been up too, and what I've been looking at online!

So a little introduction to me, I'm a red head, I have blue eyes, I'm about five foot one inch, which isn't very tall to be honest, but I more than make up for it, in personality, I think I'm fun and entertaining to be around (most of the time, I'm sure my fiancé could tell you a few stories!) I have a few close friends, and we like to get together and have a good few drinks and a dance (maybe two), all in all, I love to have fun! =) I am a smoker, now, I know all the risks, and I like to smoke, so don't go on about it, I'm sure I'll do a few rants about the smoking ban across the UK, bastard non smokers stealing the tables in the pub gardens, that they forced us into in the winter. but that's for another blog entry!

I've been engaged for about a year and a half, we plan to get married early next year, so I'm sure there'll be a few entries about dresses and shoes, and all that palaver, it's manic organising even a small ceremony, so I'll keep you all updated! And I'm sure I'll show you a few pictures, of things I'm planning to buy!

I'm going to be hard on myself, and try to update this blog as much as I can, far too many times, I've let blogs fall to the wayside, and this is a fresh start, with a new blog. Hopefully you guys will spur me on to write more often, and keep you all updated!

Now, Although I will be writing about myself, I'll also be featuring my favourite music, and favourite pictures and websites, so let me know about stuff you like too, we can be caring and sharing bloggers! =)

Anyway, that's my first entry for now, I'll give you all a break! =)
See ya around
Alice x
