I think I'm running out of good titles
Not even gonna bother apologising for the hiatus, seem to have started my last 5 posts like that. Anyways I hadn't forgotten this I had been toying with updating it for a while now. I'm just not the most highly motivated guy you'll ever meet, then got an e-mail this afternoon saying someone had commented on it. Kinda Spurred me into action. So Andi F, whoever you may be, you can take credit for this. Ill admit when I read the mail saying Andi had commented on my blog I did shit out a small cat, anyone whos read my ex history on this will understand.
God where to start on updating this, well Job wise all is still the same, love it some days hate it others. The shacks getting better, hallway walls are all done, Got the same super expensive and shiny flooring all through the downstair hallway now. Gonna pick up new skirting boards sometime soon, My parents are buying me a radiator cover and a kickass floating shelfy thing for the hallway as an early crimbo prezzie. For the finishin touch for the hallway Ive got a fishbowl that hangs on the wall, awesome I know. Had to get it shipped from San Diego California as the UK don't make them, well worth it. Only other thing Im after is one of those sweet dispensers where you put 20p in, turn the handle and get a handful of skittles/ minstrels. Seen em on ebay and may have to invest. All those 20ps should cover the dental work Ill be needing. Hell I might even go wild and get a living room door while Im on.
Love life, scarily enough things are pretty good, in my last post ever so long ago I mentioned meeting a girl called Wheezie, we've been together 7 months now. Im really happy with her, yeah theres the niggling manwhore in me that now and then rears its head at the thought of being 24 and staying with this girl for the rest of my life. But frankly it isn't worth throwing away what I have with wheezie just so I can have a brand new relationship that isn't as good. She really is just what I was looking for, cute, affectionate, but not overly so. Shes only been in one prior relationship and it didnt go well at all. So as happy as she is with me, the girls in no rush for rings, babies or co-habiting. I've said she can move in with me when my house is done, I figure that gives me about 15 years .
Ex updates then, am as close to being over Katy as I ever think I will be. She's still cute, still makes me smile thinking about her. But I really dont think she could make me happier than I am. Besides I know she'd only ever possibly be interested in having me as an on the sly casual sex partner. Which really dont interest me. Amanda I talk to occaisonally, she badly needs rescuing. I know if I asked her to get the train up and move into my house she would immediately, but again I'm just not willing to give up wheezie, much as it hurts me sometimes that Amandas in such a bad place at the minute and I know I could make her happy. But to do it means breaking wheezies heart, and theres no fucking way I'm risking that. Neko, same situation as before, shes happy with her laddo, She's recently had a baby and is ever so happy with her. So thats all good really, come to think of it, tis Neko's birthday tomorrow. As for Andi, have heard next to nothing from her, from the little I hear, shes ok, found somebody and things are looking up. Apprently shes doesn't hate me now. Not totally sure I believe that but its a nice thought.
One awesome thing that has happened though, John went to the Leeds Festival, oh yes he did. Had me an awesome time, saw some great bands, have been converted to Funeral for a Friend. Realised Billy Talent had more than one good song. But as you might have guessed it was all about one band for me, I turned up five acts early to get as close as poss. Was almost right at the rails when they came one, the red hot mother-fucking chili peppers, good god they were awesome. Jumped about like an idiot and sang me little heart out I did. The festival experience in general was pretty amazing, but not sure that I could go just for that, so we'll have to see what the line up holds next year before I book myself a ticket. Im sure theres more crap to post, but thats all that comes to mind for now |

Same blog different year
Yeah so the blog took another hiatus, my bad. House situation is all fun, Stu owes me close to a grand and the company he works for is moving out of the country and making him redundant. His old job have said they'll have him back so at least there's something to fall back on, he is applying for somethin closer to home with more money though, fingers crossed. My job sucks at the minute but thats just because I'm in the middle of my least favourite task, VAT returns, 2 periods of vat over seven pubs, tis a wonder I haven't lost my mind completely.
On the love life front have started gettin psychological. The best relationship I've had that took me the longest to get over has been Katy, partly because us breaking up was entirely my fault. But I've been thinkin about why I've never come close the being that happy again recently, I think it's because I was in such a rush to get back to being settled and happy with a girl, my relationships have moved way too fast, Amanda was practically a whirlwind, kisses me after about 30 seconds, slept with her within two hours, we're a couple after a day, she loves me after 5 days and leaves me after 8. Even the tazmanian devil would have needed a lie down and a hot chocolate after that.
My point is with Katy despite the element of history we moved very slowly, and it made everything better. So that is what I intend to try now, find someone who isn't as eager to jump in and curb my own enthusiasm. On that note, saturday night we're meeting Wheezie, cute name which is always a good start, her names Louise but the kids she work with can't pronounce it. She's a year older than me, only been in one really serious relationship and she got burned. My analysis: she needs someone to take things slowly and treat her the way the deserves, and at the risk of blowing my own trumpet I rock at that. |

Tis the season to stop bitching
| Entry title is my philosophy for the month. So alright my love life this year has been a complete balls up. But hey we've had good times, and I'm getting very proud of my house. Im not even going to say that I'll try to stay single for a while because I'm far too weak willed to ever stick to that. But anyway, I'm happy today, made a start on christmas shopping, I love shopping but I just dont have the time to wander high streets these days so I've raided play.com. Not sure what to get Stu, have never bought him a present before. I guess a bottle of JD would do it. Really need to do some card scribing this weekend too. Kinda down that I couldnt buy anywhere near as many cool presents as i did last year, but everyone knows the house had pretty much bled me dry. But anyway I refuse to be down about it, I'm just psyched for having my first christmas off work for 4 years. festivites turkey and enough alcohol to make my eyes bulge. Might be off down mansfield for new year again, thinkin bout buying this awesome party shirt from IWOOT. its got a graphic equalizer on it that actually reacts to music, think my willpower might give way on that. Bumped into Sav today too, got a random text from neko informing me he was in the bus station, turns out he lives in sussex now, while the rest of the family are running a bar in gran canaria. He's still camper than a row of tents but he's one of my oldest friends. Shall have to get him around the house sometime over christmas to catch up. Though him and Stu don't get on too well. Suppose I'll just have to hope the season of good will sorts that out. Oh and I'm quite likin Nelly Furtardo - All good things |

I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
Been neglecting this again, it feels almost shameful to post in here because I feel so bad about me these days, but then the point of this was to write down everything I do and feel regardless of whether its good or not. Ok to start, I chose the title of this blog from a beautiful south song, it seemed appropriate as a part of that song is just a list of girls names, (Jennifer, alison, philippa sue, Deborah Annabel Too) and my blog is starting too look like that (Katy, Annie, Neko, Andi, Tania, Amanda) mine just don't rhyme. So didn't end up meeting Tania, got the distinct vibe she wasn't ready so soon after breaking up, perfectly understandable. Thursday we start talking to Amanda, Friday we meet Amanda, she stay's with me in the hotel friday and saturday night, by saturday we're an official couple, take her to see happy feet on Sunday, very nice cute day out. Meet her again the following thursday, she stays at my house that night and friday night and most of saturday night... mid Saturday night she starts crying, crying because she misses her ex, despite the fact that apparently I make her happier than anyone ever has and I pay attention to her and look after her and all that. Anyway these two obviously had somethin special, I tell her if she has to go to be happy I won't fall out with her, just happy she's honest (not a lie). So that night in a bizarre twist i end up on the phone to this guy giving him directions to my house. I just tell her to take her time and let me know when she's made her mind up. Monday morning we're over they're back together. Officially my shortest relationship ever. Andi's went off the rails with me, due to the short time span between her and Amanda she's quite convinced that I was cheating on her. I admit the time was harsh but I kinda thought she'd know me better than to even think I'd do that to her. So anyway, Andi hates me, Amanda has left me for her ex, yet still tells me she misses me, loves me and other things, though I just get the feeling I'd get told that I'm immature if I can't handle that. Spoke to Katy this morning on the office phone, she's comin over to pick up some menu's. And I STILL get that fucking stupid smiley fuzzy feeling when i talk to her. I started this blog just after she broke up with me, thats how long ago it was. Not to mention the events concerning relationships ive had since then. I feel like such a manwhore piece of shit for having feelings for all these different girls. A good week for hating meself. Ok lookin for good news to round off, decorations are up in my house, Amanda did the tree and it looks great, Oh and my dining table comes on saturday, don't even know why I'm referring to it as a dining table as it seems everyone just wants to play poker on it. Oh and the boss has (provisionally) given me christmas eve, christmas day, boxing day, new years eve and new years day off! first time in 4 years. Deck the halls motherfuckers. So we do have something to smile about. Although it is the 13th of December and I have bought no presents at all. Shit |

nothin but a number
So yeah last thursday afternoon me and andi broke up. But if you'll forgive the matrix moment, it was inevitable. we're still good friends. Broke up in a private message session of a chat room, thats a new one for me. Think thats why this break up wasnt all that hard. Hadnt even seen the girl in at least a month. She did apologise though saying she's been a right bitch to me lately. I politely disagreed just told her she's had a lot on her plate lately and I totally understand the way she's been with me, fairly sure I meant that. Think this is going to be another one of those posts that I don't like writing because it makes me see just what an arsehole I can be. To be fair the break up was a mutual decision I had delayed doing it myself because of the mess she was in and I have vehemently tried to talk her out of paying me back the money i've given her. So all in all I haven't been a total dick. Which is nice. As usual I had the idea of staying single for a while. As usual I gave up on that idea about an hour later, I just like having someone to cuddle and spoil and other soppy shit. Havent actually started a relationship as im not a total manwhore. But I guess I'm on the lookout. Really does depress how much this blog just focuses on girls in my life. So yeah might as well say, I'm talking, just talking nothing more I swear to a girl called Tania. She's luvverly, and shes been single for about 72 hours now so neither of us are doing any major flirting, but i'd be the biggest lying fuck in this world if i said I hadn't thought about it. No idea what she's thinking, don't know her anywhere near well enough to read her. I really hate me sometimes, in one long paragraph I've gone from breaking up with my last gf to the girl I'm eyeing up to be the new one. What a shit i am |

Hard to concentrate
| Good times with the house, spoke to David on the phone last night. He had started putting the paper up on tuesday. But he noticed blistering happening under the paper as it was drying. Now I know bugger all about wallpaper. The lad could have just papered it all took the money and be gone. But no because he's my friend and he's awesome at what he does. He called me told me his concerns, spent two days with a steamer removing all the backng paper and the woodchip paper underneath from the downstairs hallway all the way up the stairs and the upstairs hallway too. He started putting the new paper on yesterday but says he's still not happy with the quality of the walls in places. So today he's going round with filler and a power sander smoothing down all the trouble spots in the wall. Really can't say how impressed I am with how professional he's being about it. Still reckons he'll have it all finished upstairs and down by the end of tomorrow. On the flip side the andi thing still has my head in pieces. Says she's not ready to see me yet and now she's whinging that she never sees me. Hate to say it but all those warm gushy wantin to look after her feelings are fadin fast. Guess we'll see where it goes. Oh and song I've had for ages but just discovered. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Hard to concentrate. awesome awesome song |

I don't feel like working harder, I just want an enchilada
| Yeah, made the rhyme up about two minutes ago. I'm bored in the office and I want mexican food. Whinings funny if it rhymes. Well work on the hallway is underway. Works not too bad though the boss is sitting down with me today to discuss the 'plan' which will basically be the bullshit he wants me to feed the council about why he hasnt paid the business rates at all this year. I don't get it they have plenty money, yet ignore almost all of their bills till the bailiffs turn up. Fun times. Love lifes pretty much a debauchle still. not remotely sure if thats how you spell it but i like the word. Will update more when i got somethin worth writing about |

Light at the end of the tunnel, lets hope its not a train
Well I think things are looking up, and about frikkin time. Got in touch with David and he starts on papering my hallway on tuesday morning. Bought 130 metres of wallpaper, the debate still rages as to whether I got enough or not. Oh and apparently £9 a roll for wallpaper is a rip off. Well I dont bloody know, never shopped for it before. Anyways it's gonna look spanky and thats what matters. Things are starting to level out on the andi front too. She's still not back to being the feisty little bugger we all know and love. But things are looking considerably better than they have for while. So sticking with the plan of no pressure let her do her thing till she wants to include me in it again. Funny that it takes this level of shit for me to realise what she means to me. Anyways I gotta get ready to run off for the quiz soon. Quick note by the way, no-one knows by Queens of the Stone Age rawks quite a bit  |

Thou shalt not whine
Gonna make this a good one if it kills me. Things havent been going brilliantly lately, but that doesnt excuse the unreal amount of whining ive been doing. Determined I'm gonna get this hallway done soon. It's just annoying as its the first thing you say when you come into my house. So in its current untouched state it kinda brings down the immense sexiness of the rooms I've already been through. Going for out and out bribery today. Stus got the week off so have told him if he strips all the wallpaper from the hallway (downstairs and up) today, and paints the ceiling, I'll buy him a bottle of Jack Daniels. Seems fair to me. Just this second sent a text to my old schoolmate david. We were best friends from about the age of 4 through till 18. Still consider him a good mate I just never see him anymore. Never have any time. Anyway we went to the same college but he did painting and decorating. Top of his class through most of the courses. So gonna see if he fancies papering my hallway. Of course I'll pay him. Maybe go for a drink and catch up if we get time. Used to be over his house religously every saturday hammer the playstation and just hang out. The good old days. Got told off the boss yesterday that I'm more or less 'un-sackable' which is nice. He even made mention of a christmas bonus, good times. Am talking to andi but shes clearly got a lot on. Trying to be there for her but not too intese about it. I know I've posted a lot about wanting to break it off with andi, but all the crap she's gonig through at the minute has kinda made me realise that i really do care about her. Think I really want to give this another go, when she's ready anyway. There we go, whole post, full on life update and not a whole lot of whining. Oh except one thing, nipped into argos and theyre playing 'driving home for christmas' It's november fucktards! |

stuck
| Just felt like writing in here today, but as the title suggests I haven't got much going on. Nothings happening, works the same crap every day. Crap with andi is just the same. Crap in my head is the same crap I've already written about. House is going nowhere because I'm drowning in bills. Praying I get some money from stu at the end of this month. Not sure I can handle the bills, and paying stu's rent and buying christmas presents, and taking my parents for a meal for their anniversary and decorating my house all by myself. Not really in the best of moods. Oh and I'm doing the quiz at the hotel tonight due to lack of anyone else brave enough to take the mike. Not too bothered about that though. The new manageress is my old boss Jane, and shes lovely. Neko always thought I had a thing for her. For the record I don't, but she is lovely. The new tagcloud thing I've put on here gives me a chuckle. Despite all me heartache arsehole ranting, apparently the two things that really stand out are snakes and phil collins, awesome. |
