I'm guessing that this must be an 'ex' friend who has some issue with me... lately I have had a whole lot of shit with so called friends. In fact, this question makes no sense to me, because the only 'friends' I have lost recently are those that have hurt me beyond anything I would ever thought they could... And these 'trendy kids'... I'd love to know where these are, seen as I have maybe 3 or 4 friends, and I don't see these as often as I'd like?
I would suggest something a little more personal for such things next time, rather than using a personal ANONYMOUS site like Formspring.

Formspring, Formspring...
Do you often feel the need to give up people who care about you for handfuls of trendy kids who will drop you when the next shiny toy comes along?

yaawn yawn
I'm at work, waiting for it to be 5pm, so I can go home. And not come back until Monday. First though I need to do my driving lesson at 5.15, then I am officially free of things like work and driving lessons until Monday. When I have both. Did I tell you I booked my driving test? Eeek. My dad told me not to tell people the exact date so it can be a nice surprise when I do eventually pass (I'm assuming I won't pass first time, so it would be super amazing if I did).
Tomorrow I am once again up at 6.30am for my coach to Wolverhampton. I have been going more regularly lately, since I realised I could get the Megabus rather than the train. £12 return is a hell of a lot better than £45. I much prefer it when we all go down (Mikee, the boys and myself)in the car, but the car is up for MOT this weekend, so it's just me bussing it down again. I do enjoy coach journeys, with my ipod on and being left to my own thoughts though, it definitely makes me appreciate Mikee and the boys more when I get back.
Anyway, so I'm going to Wolverhampton for my older brother's 32nd birthday (I think it's his 32nd anyway...). Which should be nice. I never know what to get my family, so I just give them the money I would have spent on a gift. That way they can buy something they really want. I still get them a card though, that would be so lame not to!
It'll be nice to see my family. Jasmine is growing up so fast, she is seriously the happiest little girl around. And it's nice to go for a drink on Saturday evening's with my dad and his partner Joan. I'm guessing my mom and I will go for a meal on Sunday before I head back for Cardiff. Plus, it's nice to see my twin and my older brother of course.
I'm also intending to see my nan. She has been in a nursing home for a few weeks now. She is 95, and although my dad (and his sister in more recent years) have done all they can, they just can't give her the 24 hour help she needs (one of them is with her 24 hours, but they're not as good as a trained carer would be). It certainly makes you appreciate your life more, when you look at someone my nan's age. It is almost like she has reverted back to childhood in that she is unable to look after herself. It's very upsetting, but as long as she is safe, taken care of and as happy as can be expected, I think we are doing okay.

Well. I certainly have been a bad blogger lately. I could blame my lack of laptop (it finally packed up over the weekend... it's infected beyond repair I think, eeep!) but even before it's demise, I've been lousy at blogging.
Anyway, so I'm going to try blogging more regularly, because I know how disappointing it is when people don't update! (Or is that just me? Hehe).
I have been making more of an effort to go out lately, and it's been nice getting to know new people. Well, people I know already, but only to say "hi" to. A lovely girl called Sian invited me to go see Eclipse last week with her (4th time for me!), as she knows I love it like she does! Before we went to see it, we had some super tasty cocktails at a place called Pica Pica. The first ones I had were lovely and citrus-y, but the others were a bit too strong for me... Either way, I ended up feeling quite tipsy! And watching Eclipse while tipsy was a little odd. I can't say I like being that way whilst watching a film (or one of my FAVOURITE films even)... I just felt a little distracted and disconnected.
Despite that though, I had a lovely time with Sian, and it felt good to get to know someone new. Like I said, I've known her to say hi to a while, and she works in the joke shop in town (cool job huh?!), but it's only since I had her roller derby team selling at Vintage Pretty that I've got talking to her. She is so dedicated to the Tiger Bay Brawler's (Cardiff's roller derby team) and I find it an absolute delight being around dedicated and hardworking people!
I've also seen Tanaz a couple of times, and she is so lovely. So easy to talk to, and of course we have the jewellery making/fair selling in common.
If there's one thing I've learnt lately, it's that while I may often feel like I'd rather stay at home and chill, once I'm up and out and with people, I'm actually pretty social... and I enjoy it, shock horror!
So with my new found 'social life' (woah there, I'm not quite a party animal yet!), I've definitely been appreciating staying in more... it's true that you need to go out to really appreciate being in! Mikee is doing his usual work shifts, so often it's just me and the boys. Luckily I do enjoy my own space, so it's not a problem normally. Though sometimes I do wish he was in more on the evenings!
So, today has been all about Hooters! Yep, you heard right! The restaurant chain is opening here in Cardiff, and the Cardiff Feminist Network were given permission to come here and do some copies of flyers etc. I can see both sides to the story, CFN want to stop them opening due to their sexist undertones (though it's not quite under, it's pretty out in the open!). I personally would never like to go eat/drink at a place like that, just because it seems so tacky and lame. I guess if the women who are going to work there want to, and get treated respectfully, it could be harmless? It just seems so very dated to me, viewing women in that way... What do you all think?
Sorry, once again, for ending my post suddenly... my blog posts seem so erratic lately, maybe I'm just meant to take a short break from it?! x

Fillums.
I watch a lot of films. These are the ones I have seen lately...
The first time I saw Shutter Island, I streamed it online (though I wish I had seen it at the cinema now!) and the quality was so bad I gave up on it, and wasn't left with much of an impression. But I watched it again last week, and absolutely loved it! I love the way it is filmed, the story, the cast... The scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams are so emotional and dreamily shot... and Mark Ruffalo is always brilliant (loved him since Eternal Sunshine). I couldn't recommend seeing this more... and I think I'm gonna try read the book it was based on (written by Dennis Lehane).
Well, this was one I brought really cheap (I got a load of indie type films from the carboot sale we go to most Sundays for just £1 each). I knew it wouldn't be anything high action or epic in any way... and it was okay. I did like it, but it didn't really grab my attention. Having said that I do like understated films, and ones that feel more real than film... so this was good, but nothing beyond that really.
One word: underwhelmed. I liked Batman Begins, though I've never been much of a comic book/superhero/antihero fan. But I did like the first Batman with Christian Bale (despite that voice...). However this just dragged for me. It didn't hold my attention at all. And it was way too long. However, I have to agree with everyone here. Heath Ledger was phenomenal as Joker... amazing.
LOVED this. Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhall are two of my favourite actors... I loved the gentle tones of the film, and the story behind it. I relate so much to films about loners and such people... I feel like I am that trpe of person. And witht his films deep meanings and humour, it was really meant for me. Reminded me a bit of Year of The Dog, though obviously a different plot... if that makes sense!
So, that's what I've seen lately! I have a pile of films to see, some of them quite obscure to me until now (Candy, Sylvia, Frida)and also some boxsets, OC Season 1 and 2, and Carnivale Season 1. I have always thought I'd like the OC (despite how unrealistic it is... but maybe that's why people love it? Pure escapism for most people...) and when I brought these two boxsets and Dark Water on dvd for £5 (crazy prices at car boots sales!), I was so pleased! I also brought Carnivale last weekend for only £2 (looks in perfect condition too), and that's another series I've always meant to watch.
Has anyone on here got any recommendations for me? x
