Announcement

Waiting for my prince, but until that day comes, I am willing to date a few rich frogs.

Tattoos are a personal art, it's beauty rarely equalled, for it is the truest form of someone's thoughts.

I like wrinkles, they read like a good novel....no blank page ever won accolade.

Love is a timid thing, chase it and it will run away, stand still and it will come to you.

Smiles are free, but they are the most rarest and precious gift you can give.

Paralympic Opening Ceremony 2008 & tearsTV!!

Sunday, Sep 7, 2008 8:27PM / Standard Entry / Members only

I spent most of yesterday in tears, (I'm okay!!!, btw!! just watched stupid TV ) cried during the opening ceremony for the paralympics, then again at X Factor...Which is weird, because I only watch the audition stage to see the funny acts, the rest bores me, but this time a young man was auditioning after his wife told him he should, and she died shortly after their baby was born, you could see him singing for her, quite moving, even for my enbittered heart, then I watched Ghost Hunting and was visible shaken, not through ghost sightings, because I don't believe those TV shows, so much trickery, but it was for the fact that they visited the catacombs in Palermo, where mummified bodies are on show for tourists, including that of a three year old girl, perfectly preserved from 1920, but it upset me to see her little body on show, skeletons& adult corpses I can cope with, but seeing this little child looking like a stuffed animal was a little too much to bear, as was that of a tiny baby skeleton in a coffin on an open display, I'm not a child person and I'm not afraid of dead bodies, I've been around many, but there is something so sad about seeing a little baby or child inside a coffin. i'm not sure how I feel about the catacombs, I'd have to personally visit before I pass judgement on their idea, afterall i've seen mummy's in museums, it just feels a little strange the way these are displayed.

This is little rosalia

Paralympics ceremony:-

Li Yue, is a ballet student but her dreams were thought dashed when one of her legs had to be amputated after the devastating earthquake. Here she proves any dream can come true.

, l

Ladies with hearing impairments perform a dance using sign language.

There was light entertainment too, it was again another beautiful opening ceremony from Beijing.

The part I cried in:-hearing the blind gentleman sing, he was amazing, his voice was pure heavenly.

And the BBC actually showed coverage of Andy Lau's performance...Yay

Oh the humanity! so long my little Terminator

Having a clear out of the house, You may know that I'm a big believer in the words "When you start to own too many possessions, they start to own you"..You know, like always worrying about natural disasters, like flooding, fires, or just thievery...I'd sell the kitchen sink If I could, but it appears to be bolted down.

But *Sob, *Sob, I had to let go of my cherub, my little Terminator. *sigh,.....Just look at those curves, she was tall for her kind, 4ft 9, healthy weight of 5kg, I didn't like her true name of a Bastard Sword, known as the weapon of Barbarians. I have such lovely memories of her. Dropping her on my foot wasn't one of them, a couple of words I'd rather not repeat could be heard by the neighbourhood, and that bitch of a serrated edge was forever cutting my shin as I walked past the door......Erm I walk into things a lot, I'm extremely accident prone, fell into an 'Out Run' arcade machine today at the amusements, don't ask me how but I managed it .You put an obstacle in the way, and 'bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt'...I guarantee I'll walk into it.!!

Just managed to post her, she was 1.46cm, and the max length for posting is 1.50,I stroked her blessed skull and thunderbolts before sending her off. I hope she'll be okay *sob....Oh the horror, my poor baby, what have I done!!!!

There anything you've been reluctant to let go of in life?

I'm on Facebook, and it scares me to death, it's like a technophobe's worst nightmare, applications come flying at me, and I'm sat thinking who the hell has sent me a 'sex on the beach'. although I found an application on a friend's page...(Thanks Melly, ).....A movie quiz!!! Now I'm sorry but yeah I'm a sap for quizzes, if I could, I'd be down the local pub every Thursday playing the pub quiz to win a prize...Woohoo!. I'm not sold on the site, but it's a way to keep in touch with friends that haven't joined AnD.

Oh if you're on there, this should be the link: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1296693787 for me, you're more than welcome to add me if we know one another here.

Meanwhile Question for you: what quiz topics are you best at?

Mine are :- Movies , not bad at General Knowledge either, but music past the 90s is a no no, I suck big time at modern music.

nice idea by butter for her blog, pop on by for more details

fave piece of technology:-

Where would I be without my PC.

Fave part of my body:-

It's actually the only thing I do like

Fave sweet treat.:-

Bailey's creme brulee,.....yes a little love emoticon, A, unlike a man, they can make me happy within ten seconds, and B they take a longer time on the hips.....Kidding, I love men too.

Erm Chocolate would of been listed as my favo, but for one thing I eat it daily, and second of all....As if chocolate gets time to have it's photo taken when it falls into my hands.

Fave Drink:-

Didn't have my own pictures, but yeah I enjoy a tipple of vodka, but I'm a solo drinker, I never drink at social gatherings, I don't find fun in getting drunk, and can have a laugh without the aide of alcohol.

So that's where my big conk comes from.

Thursday, Aug 21, 2008 5:55PM / Standard Entry / Members only

This week found out some interesting stuff about my heritage, turns out that the possible connection between me and Geronimo is about 2% if that, It's looking more like the Native American gentleman was from the same clan and era but we still know very little about him. And I know even littler about the Mohican, but I think that's where I get my fiery temper from The two Native American ladies that married into our family, moved over here to live out their days in Rochdale....Poor sods.....You'll know what I mean if you've ever been to Rochdale, personally I like the place, papa was born there, but by heck it's a rough neighbourhood now.

A bad part of the history, we owned cotton mills and had a street named after us in Rochdale. The cotton mills is not something I care to dwell on, it's shameful in my eyes, I'd of rather discovered I was a descendant of Jack the Ripper.

William Kendall committed suicide in the woods , he worked for Lee Chippendale, i'm persuming one from the furniture makers, not the LA style network., and he fell for Lee's daughter, but the relationship was not allowed due to social status.

I think I'll do more research. I want to know more about my mother's side, but there are so many, it seems the celt clans bred like rabbits!!!! all I know is that the 'Love's (Mother's maiden name) is from the MacKinnon clan.

I think these two are my great grandparents,I'm completely lost the name Samuel Burnley Brook rings a bell.

OH and on another note, this Johnnie Walker Ladies night banner on AnD for the 30th/31st ...It dun half look like a lovely night out...Yes I'm one of those tame quiet ladies, until a muscle man in a thong comes out (which is weird cos muscles don't do it for me anymore)...voila out comes the $1, got to be dollars, because a 5 is the lowest note denominations here....and no man is worth that cash!!
