I get along

I probably haven't been updating enough. I'm in limbo, but it's okay. Coping mechanisms are what life's about! I went to bed last night thinking that I might finally have caught chicken pox, after all of these years. I was a little bit excited about it, I'd thought up all these pox-related puns that I could phone my friends & say to them today. Turns out it's just the most extreme stress rash I've ever had. When did my skin decide that it hated me? I treat it very well these days! I don't take drugs, I don't smoke, I moisturise twice a day with an award-winning £1.50 Aldi moisturiser & I drink so much water that approximately 70% of my day is spent peeing. Still, it spurns me.

My skin - "Little bit stressed are you, Keely?"
Me - "I don't feel that stressed, no, not really, thanks!"
My skin - "Well, you're wrong...*BAMPOWWHAP* Here, have a massive, disfiguring rash all over your neck, torso, legs & let's just throw in the arms too, for good measure"
Me - "Fuck you, skin! One day I will get my revenge by injecting botox in to you & eventually YOU WILL ROT"

I have no friends around here, I do just sit around wondering what conversations with my own organs would be like, could they speak. They're disgruntled fuckers, especially my liver, that's just waiting to get revenge.

I came back from Ireland a few days ago (with real friends, not just my organs), it was amazing. Everyone spoke like they were in Boyzone, & even though Dublin actually raped my purse in a way I'd never experienced before, I fell in love with the place. I had a 16-hour wait in Bristol airport before I managed to leave, wrote a load of letters & turned in to Snow White (in that birds came to me, I still can't sing & although I'm trying, aren't nearly as optimistic as that chirpy bitch)



I like things in places they shouldn't be, & I like the way the duct tape on the floor looked like a twig. I also spent about 5 minutes imagining that the bird had to catch a plane, too. "Fuck this migration shit, have you seen the prices at bmibaby?!".

I'd better write this essay & scratch myself for a few hours then, I suppose.

Oh Keely, when will you be done with this rural living and be back in La London? You know I will hate you from the day you return and until late November, right? Haha. I don't understand why on earth people choose these kind of lives when you can fall into bed with the blaring city outside your window. I'm slowly but surely going insane, I'm sure of it

I'd like to think by the end of July I will be back in London, but more realistically (having realised that I'm shit at motivating myself to work), it'll be August. That's only if I can find a job, though! We may be returning to living in places we actually enjoy at about the same time as each other.

I find that listening to 'Here I Go Again' by Whitesnake helps the loneliness! You end up thinking that you don't need anyone...& want to join a power metal band & have huge hair.

If you want, when I finish this essay, you can give me your address & I'll write you letters. Is your postman fit? If so, I'll make it a MASSIVE letter so you get to speak to him.

Ah yes, the job aspect. Fuck it. Sometimes I can't believe I'm sitting here counting down until I'm unemployed again, what the actual shit. Though in my mind I'd like to be prepared this time around so I'm hoping to get some freelance work or whatever cos I'm easily fooled by the mere thought of working from home in my pjs all day.

Is it wrong that I always want to have huge hair and be in a power metal band? Do you remember those Power Ballad cds from the early 90s? Amazing. I once witnessed some power metal couple getting married on stage at some festival, epic. They even played some cheesy power ballad (on cd, sadly not live, that would have been too good to be true) to seal the deal.

I've never actually seen my postman cos he always comes around when I'm at work. But I highly doubt he is fit as there are no fit people around here. I will however gladly sign up for your letters as I love getting post (hence why I buy so much crap on ebay) + I need something to keep the spiders in my mailbox company (for serious, not in a "I never get any post so there are cobwebs in my mailbox" kind of way)

Haha, I know, I can't wait to finish this degree but then there's the scary prospect of job applications. I hate filling out forms & waiting for people's approval/rejection. We should just get paid for being alive...but not in a government benefits, scraping the barrel of poverty way!
Maybe if we all join a cult?

I don't think your urge to be in a power metal band is wrong at all. In fact, I think it is quite possibly the greatest calling a person can have in life. At Blissfields I think we should try & create our own band which doubles as a cult.

Okay, I'll force my child-like scrawl on you in May, BEWARE!

Fuck, yes! It's ridiculous! A bottle of water is about 2 euro, & because there's hardly any difference between the pound & the euro, we were constantly aghast at how much everything cost. Horrible! We found the trick was to buy cheap Lidl vodka & just get incredibly hammered before going out...except now I can't remember any of my nights out.

SHUT YOUR FACE GAPE! Your livejournal is one of my favourites to read, you make your life sound so nice & exciting that I think I want to live in your cupboard.

Don't make me shut my face! I'd have to eat pie through other entrances of my body! perfakt inglish

Your flist must be utter shit oh dear, I feel for you. It can't be true that I make my life sound nice and exciting as I have none. My cupboard however is full of tea, cookies and chocolate, help yourself;)

I want to live in your pocket. Or your bra, that's fine too.

Hello, stranger!
I do have combination skin, yeah, it's a bit of a bitch. This moisturiser is actually the greatest one I've ever used. There's a night one & a day one, but I don't bother with the day one because the night time moisturiser isn't sticky (like some), so you can still shove your make-up on after putting it on. Buy it!

Where ARE you living nowadays? I thought you'd been sucked in to an alternate universe!
