wow! the Vagina Monologues are being performed at Liverpool Empire in June!!!!! I have to go to that!!!!! if anyone doesnt know what the Vagina Monologues are then GO HERE!!!. cant wait to go see the rocky horror show and peter kay as wel!!!!!!
muwhwhahahaha karina is making me laugh in work. we've decided that our excuse for customers not being able to have technician for a few days should either be that they've gone to war, or theyve gone to be human barricades!! also, we're thinking of ending our calls wth "make love not war" we've been giggling about this for quite some time. i guess you have to be here....
was watching the protests in london on tv earlier, theres millions and millions of people there, quite amazing!!!!
i wouldnt say that i'm anti or pro war. i think that its not as simple as that, and anyone who believes that they can be 100% for or against war is naiive and ignorant! i dont think theres any situation where anyone can say wholeheartedly that they should or shouldnt go to war without recognising that theres other issues to be considered. my boyfriend is in the Ta for example, and although he's pro-war, he also knows that theres bloody good reasons against war that he agrees with. at the end of the day, if it came to the point where there was no other option but to go to war then fair enough, but i think it should be a last resort.

happy valentines day to everyone for yesterday.
i got a lovely card and a single red rose, with the promise of a teddy bear coming soon. we didnt do much except huggle as we're both skint and knackered, but it was cool all the same.
gotta work all weekend, which i'm not looking forward to. gotta work next weekend too, although i do have 4 days off in the week. nevermind eh!!??

the gig the other night was really good. only managed to see atonal and lobe as i was there late, and we left early, but it was a very good gig. i've just written a review for the unitiative site, so i'll post the link once it gets published there.
i went to robs yesterday, and generally hung around being huggly and nice. in the evening he took me home, via the scotch piper. for those who dont know, the scotch piper is a pub near my house that has been there for hundreds of years. every wednesday many many bikers gather there. although it was very foggy on wednsday night, there were still a few bikers there. in the height of summer, theres hundreds of people there, with bikes (and people) of all shapes and sizes!
after i got in last night i watched the osbournes, as i had missed it the night before. yet again it was fucking amazing! after that was dirty sanchez. this is a group of welsh guys, basically doing jackass type stuff, but they're possibly even more insane than the jackass lot! a bit later on was jackass cribs, which was cool. they showed round a few of their houses, and most of them had some form of skate ramp outside the house, if not actually inside it! Bam Margera had a very cool mini ramp in his basement of all places, as well as one in the backyard
so today i havent been doing much. wrote a review for atonal and Lobe, did some housework, watched some daytime tv and pottered around. I'm off to weight watchers later, which is gonna be poo as Karina isnt coming. i dont wanna go by myself but all i have to do is get weighed and then i can leave. After that i'm off to Lexy's house. She's gonna cook my a lovely dinner, and then force me to watch Buffy and Angel. Tomorrow i'm going to robs house to spend some of valentines day with him. I wont be able to see him in the evening tho as he's off for the weeked with the TA, but i dont mind, as long as i get to spend some of it with him. I'm working all over the weekend, which is a pain in the ass, as i wouldve like to go out. But i cant actually afford it anyway!!
Heres a joke for you that i saw Dustin Hoffman tell on the Graham Norton show the other day:
A little boy is playing with his train set. His mum is suddenly startled as she listens to him play
Little Boy: "all aboard for san fransico!! anyone who wants to get off the train, then get the fuck off! anyone who wants to get on the train, then get the fuck on!!! *he plays for a while* "all aboard for Los Angeles!! anyone wants to get off the train, then get the fuck off" anyone who wants to get on the train, then get the fuck on!!"
His mother is very upset with this and sends him to his room for an hour.
After an hour the little boy is allowed to play again after being told not to use the foul language.
the mother listen closely as he starts to play
"all aboard for California! Anyone who wants to get off the train, then get off!! anyone who wants to get on the train, then get on!!! and if you want to know why the train is an hour later then ask the cunt in the kitchen!!!!!!"
i like that :o)

jesus what a weekend!!!!! it was karina birthday today, so we had a whole weekend of madness to celebrate. it began on thursday night when we went to the swan after work for a couple of drinks. saw missie, and her sister mandy in there. i havent met mandy, she seemed really lovely :o) we played the quiz and we didnt come last, just second to last!! but it was fun. we just had 2 pints that night before going home.
on friday morning, i went over to the flat, dropped my stuff off and we then went into town and caught a coach to manchester (fiver return - bargain) when we got there we went straight to pizza hut and had a lovely pizza and garlic bread, we were then ready to hit the shops. for ages and ages neither of us could find anything that really caught our eye, but in the end Karina bought a lovely blue bench jacket, and i bought a paul frank tshirt. on the front of my t-shirt is a pink flying V guitar and the words "kiss my axe". its sooo lovely. after all the shopping we headed to canal street, kind of the gay quarter if you like.
the bars on canal street are so different to the gay bars in liverpool. people just dont seem to have anything to prove, unlike a lot of the people in the gay bars in liverpool. i had to ask karina a few times if were in a gay pub or not because i couldnt tell. one of the places we went in was called Tribeca. Its a very stylish bar, which is huge upstairs, and downstairs there nice booths, and also an area with bed type cushioning that you can just lounge on whilst you have your pont. they also do food there, and you can actually phone and reserve a table, or even a bed for your meal!!! it was very cool.
we left manchester at about 9pm and were terrorized all the way home by a pissed up scouser who kept announcing loudly that he was tired or shattered or whatever. ths went on all the way home, broken up by periods of very gross farts, and almost kicking us in the head as he tried to get himsefl comfy. i was almost going to kill him, but we did managed to get a laugh out of it. just as we were coming into liverpool i said loudly to Karina "i'm tired" and she said back to me "i'm shattered" (exactly what this guy had been waffling about all the way home) whch caused half the caoch to errupt into laughter.
when we got back to liverpool we picked up some food and beer from tescos and then headed back to the flat. we just chilled for the rest of the time watching TV until we went to bed. on saturday morning, we went into town, determined to buy karina a nice to wear out that nice. she had previously seen some nice ones in liverpool, but had wanted to see what else was available in manchester before buying anything. she bought a diesel top and a duffer top, which were both lovely. she went to meet a friend in birkenhead and i sneaked off to get her a birthday cake. i ended up buying her a BUSTY BOOBS birthday cake which is a pair of boobs (in a bra) completley unknwon to her.
So, in the evening, just as we were finishing getting ready, karina was pottering round the kitchen, and at my signal a friend of hers who was also there turned off the lights, i light the candles, and we presented her with the cake. she of course made a wish and blew her cancels out. she was really shocked but loved it. we then headed into town, starting with the Lisbon. Laydee K also joined us for this part of the evening which was lovely. i dont see Kate enough and i love her to deathxxx after the Lisbon, and a lot of lager (some of it in 4 pint pitchers) we headed for the G bar, which is opposite the old garlands. By this time we were well on our way., as you can imagine.
the evenig consisted of lots more drinking and me and karina and the others doing the silliest dancing we could to some incredibly cheesey music. we danced for 90% of the night at least!! karina pulled a lovely blonde who just dived on her and shocked everyone who saw, but made her very very happy!! i chatted to some cool people and danced like a nutter all night. when we finally left we tried to get a taxi but there was just no taxis to be found, so we decided to walk up to lewis's to get a night bus. by this point it was rainign torrentially and we ended up very soggy. we also got the 86 bus which meant we had to get off at park road and walk for 10 mins, again, in the pouring rain. we flagged a taxi to take us the last 500 metres or so, and managed to get away with not paying for it.
when we got in, much tea was made, and lucozade waas drunk by the bottlefull. we ended up staying up well into the daylight, and i think i only actually got something like 4 hours sleep!! i feel like shit, but i didnt puke or have to retire to my bed for the whole day, which was cool. later on rob and tony turned up and took me home, which was a godsend. we also went home via mcdonalds and had a lovely double cheeseburger, hich made me feel much better!!!
so, like i said, a mad weekend!!!!!!!!! i'm in work tomorrow, but not till 10am, which isnt too offensive. karina is back in work tomorrow too, which'll be cool, cos we can keep each other entertained as per usual!!! anyways, time for bed methinks!!!
