ebay
So I sold something the other day.
When it came to leaving feeback to the buyer, the only options I had were leave positive feedback or leave feedback later....

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall....
1) Well I thought I'd be cleaver and uprooted my spring onions and put them in some water in a jar on my window sill. Two weeks later I just have soggy spring onions that haven't grown at all sitting in some murky wrong smelling water...
2) I saw a fire engine going straight across wanstead flats (which is a bunch of fields). Now, there is a road that runs right next to the flats, and the truck was not that far from it. Now, this would JUST about me acceptable if it's lights were going, but they weren't. So all I can assume is, either the fire fighters wanted a bit of a laugh going over bumpy fields, or they were just lazy. I'm going with the latter...
3) It turns out that the least politically correct place in the land, is the bar up at The House of Lords. I kid you not. Some of the very very wrong jokes that echo through those walls....
4) I'm fucking bored. I've read all the books I own....

home
I was lucky enough to spend time not only in Canada this summer, but also in Los Angeles, and aside from coming back with a pierced tongue and a longboard I learnt (as ever) about myself.
I finally was in a place where I felt I could be myself, without fear of prejudice or mockery. People believe that the American dream is all about making it big in America. My interpretation is different. My American dream was finding acceptance and realising that yeah ok, you may be scared of what others think, but who cares? You only have one life, and it is short, so accept that some people may think you are not of the norm, but who cares? If it's what you want, do it.
I was staying for part of the time in a place called Venice Beach. A hippy community full of artists, muscians and a lot of hobbos. Every lives side by side, expressing themselves for who they are. I've always felt kind of suffocated by London, but there, I was able to breathe freely. I allowed certain ideas and feelings that I usually keep constrained within me, freedom to move around.
Every time I go along the South Bank in London, I always see skateboarders and wanted to do it. But never really had the balls to. But in Venice Beach, the only way to get around is on a skateboard or longboard. Kids who can barely walk right up to people who should be using zimmer frames, all had a board with four wheels. So I invested in one, and very quickly wished I had bought one years ago. When I got back to London I got a couple of strange looks from people, but most of the time I got a lot of smiles and have even been stopped occassionally. I don't feel they were asking me just because I looked out of place, but also because they were probably wishing they had one too (they are damn fun!). I'd like to think, that people who see me on one, and have always wanted to run around on one, will feel more able to now.
Everyone says that people should be able to do what they want to do, without fear of society judging them. Hell I say it all the time, but it is as ever, a lot easier to say it than do it. But, in LA that fear went. My new fear became letting that fear come back when I get home.
For me, I always think that when I discover something new about myself, or start expressing myself in a different way when I am travelling, that I shall go back to how I was before when I get home. This time, I said nope. I've gained too much ground to let myself roll back.
So far I haven't. Me and the board go everywhere, and feeling its ok to just be myself regardless is happening.
Life is blissful....

Lenobs
So there are times when life gives you lemons. It continues to give you lemons , and each time you try to turn then to juicy apples more lemons fall on you.
Sometimes the only answer is to scream.

On being thin...
Ok so I'm lucky. I'm 41kg, and I'm 22, and just about 5 foot. That means I am rather thin. Happily thin. Not in an anorexic way, but I look in the mirror and I am happy with my body.
I read yesterday about people who work out all week just to eat one cupcake. I laughed. Why? Because like hell that would be me. Screw that. Put it like this, yesterday morning I had rhubarb crumble with ambrosia custard for breakfast, followed my apple crumble with ambrosia custard for lunch, with Chinese take away for dinner with a load of oreos as a bedtime snack, then more apple crumble with ambrosia for breakfast the next day. I'm lucky because I can get away with it, and no need to work out either.
I wouldn't say I was massively into my looks, I don't own or wear any make up (except lipstick every now and then), and going shopping is rather tedious (hence why I do all my shopping online). My only weakness is for pretty dresses.
Some people spend all their time fussing about their bodies, I wonder if they have any real time to stop, relax and just enjoy being who they are.
One day, I'll be fat, but I'll be happy. Cos you only have one life, why avoid indulgences?

Reactions
My reaction to a lot of things is to just scream....
On Sunday I was in my room, and heard a load cracking sound, and figured it was next door. It didn't stop, and it started annoying me so I looked up. I started screaming, it looked like my ceiling was about to come crashing down. The screaming naturally got my brother and mothers attentions. Well anyways, the result is, we are going to have to get the roof replaced. Great.
Then yesturday, I was going down the stairs and of course started screaming. I saw a mouse. I did the only thing I could do. Run back into my room, shut the door and start screaming until my mother came up the stairs. Anyways, lets just say she killed it by repeatedly wacking it over the head with a hammer, whilst I hid in my room.... The cat turned out to be useless. Initially mother took the cat up there and she just walked off.
I find that when I get into any difficulty I start screaming. Mostly because I don't want to have to deal with the problem and screaming alerts others.
In the animal kingdom, animals make noise to signal danger and stuff. I'm just going with my instincts...and the fact I am retarded :-)

Mexico
For a while now, stories here and there appear in small little columns in newspapers about the drug wars in Mexico. Every so often I hear about dead bodies turning up on highways and dangling off bridges. I knew that the deaths were connected to the drug wars, but never really imagined the full scale of the horror until I went onto liveleak.
What I assumed were not so frequent killings, turns out to be an almost daily event. Just put mexico in the search bar on liveleak, and video upon video comes up of mutilated bodies, hacked up with chainsaws, riddled with bullets, bound hands, people burnt alive etc etc. I've been looking at this site for the past couple of weeks now, and each day, fresh new videos are added. It is frankly aweful. In one video I watched this morning, several bodies had been hacked up, and torso's were being moved around as if they were just a piece of meat on the end of a hook. The end of the same video showed dozens of hacked up bodies piled on top of each other. This is the grim reality.
There is NO value of human life it seems to these drug cartels and people are seen as expendable. I have seen numerous execution videos (well ok, Liveleak are kind enough to cut the video right up to the second before it happens), and it's hard to stomach. There was one video that I have been repeatedly playing over in my head. It's of this really beautiful girl who was murdered after having to give a tearful final speech to the camera, just because her boyfriend was caught selling on a rival gang's turf. It seems that anyone who is connected in some way who does something seen as wrong will be killed.
Just search mexico on live leak and watch the horror of what the mexican people are going through unfold.

Orbit ticket price
So so before I clicked on the above link, I thought it might of been something to do with the price of the virgin intergalactic space flights.
Anywyas, apparently it;s going to cost £15 to climb up to the viewing platform...
Y'know I go past the olympic park everyday, and it amuses me just how quickly they are completing the park. Funny thing is, the workers on the site, if you want to put it like this, are paid to go up and down the blasted thing all day! They get amazing views without having to pay for it with money....maybe through blood sweat and tears! I did find it cute that when it was St.Patrick's day an irish flag appeared on the roof.
Eurgh, £15 quid?
Sod that.
