Amoeba.

This is not a social visit, I am simply here because I don't have a piece of paper or pen to hand, this is such an alien way of writing, I need to do the following:

1# Finish my Booky Wook for the second time
2# Practice the massage procedure
3# Practice base/contour makeup and finish my blue booklet
4# Give manicures
5# Wax, or at least read over instructions
6# .. oh and take up sewing tonight

Right, I am simply on here to remind myself of things I need to look out for, these consist of:

Scarf, for neck and head, thin belt (black and red), sweaters v neck front and back (Jane), red and tartan pencil skirt

this dress, and the womans skirt behind (either actually)



  • Current Music
    Vincent - Don McLean

"Don't let your pretty head worry.."

Coat arrived, and if possible, is more handsome than first thought. Picked up my pencil skirt a couple of weeks ago? Really need to get that tartan pencil skirt from Vivien of Holloway, oh and a tea dress, I'll make a list below of things that I'm going to root for on the internet tonight, I miss good old fashioned rummaging around car boot sales, eBay and Etsy have made this kind of thing so very easy nowadays, it really hits me in the gut.

Should I become a redhead? Hmm.. I really need to ponder that. Oo! oo! I also need to look for some prenatal pills to help my hair grow. Bought some earrings (well Jimothy won them for me) am watching some very nice ones although slightly pricier (?) than I had hope to pay for earrings. I also really would like a tea dress, and to take up Lindy Hop next month.

Bad day at work today, might have messed up a little on tills, and got a bit of a rollicking from Paul (i ain't calling him boss!) took an instant dislike to him anyway, but thats not the point, better get used to this sooner rather than later. I want MOHAAS, MICROCHIPS AND HAM AGAIN PLEASE!

Well, it really is same old, same old. I haven't the faintest how I manage to make paragraphs out of the days I have. I'm neither witty or interesting, so it leaves me baffled. Want to paint my nails (buy a new red) but I have college tomorrow so I can't, I also have college work to do, and need to pay for my kit. Alex came by the shop today, ain't seen him in a while, was pleasant, perked me up a bit having someone I knew there, 'cause Claire had left, and after avoiding "Paul" all day, it was a relief, sometimes I forget theres a life outside that shop, I swear.

College went okay yesterday, I have the feeling I will be surrounded by people are very, very scarily different to me, it's a sickening thought (.. I don't mean like that) I thought Char would be joining me but as per damn usual, she dropped out. I have this creeping suspicion I won't last long, guess I'm not as resilient as I thought. Can't buy the girls anything for their birthday this Friday because I get paid at the end of month and I'm skint at the moment. (Note: Should've watched Singing In The Rain). I have the feeling I've left lots out, so perhaps it will come to me whilst exfoliating tonight, then again...

Aloha. I never got back, my brain is everywhere at the moment. Really run down and spotty, not fun, good news is I get a lie in tomorrow, then my 12:30 - 7:30 shift, fun, fun, fun. Oh well, I'd rather it was like this, I remember how it felt before, in honesty I'm waiting for it to all fall apart, this is.. odd, and unnerving, something must fall through!

I got accepted at Hertford Regional College studying Beauty Therapy C&G, proper chuffed I am but I'm having kittens over the thought too! and no, I'm not a typical wannabe Beauty Therapist, if you knew me, you'd laugh at that thought. I don't even like the whole title, but that's how it is. I don't know how I'm going to balance both, I'll have to chat to Matthew and my tutor and work something out, because money is essential right now more than ever if I'm going to get my vintage car (Austin A30). I'm very much planning on doing a Camber weekend in October with Jim, and hopefully Char or Alex (who's having a rough time right now). Should be fun, the beach, the dancing, most importantly, the relaxing! My girdle and swimsuit came today in the post. Need to pick up my skirt Thursday from Marks and Sparks, and need to sit eagerly at the letterbox waiting for my coat to come! 

Apparently Rory came to see me at work today, but I'd already finished. I wonder what he was doing all the way over here when he lives in Hertford! Imagine that! Living there and coming over HERE! TKMaxx is a dump anyway, but when it's swarming with people who don't speak English and chuck clothes everywhere, well.. you can imagine. Sweet none the less, 'do miss him, funny old chap, Ror is.

4# Swing Coat


I think I was to jot many a thing down on here, but for the life of me can't remember what, so perhaps you'll see me later tonight. Say, 10.00pm...? It's a date.

PS. My stockings also arrived earlier this week.
cooke

I know it's over, still I cling..

Well to begin, I don't know how anyone (including myself) gets through this song, so very far beyond his time, whilst most cared about glitter, dodgy haircuts, partying and sex, and there was Morrissey writing timeless lyrics. So many feel this way so that's the last I'll write on the subject. BUUUUT, I wish I could say I LOVE this song, and be all fluffy and throwaway with it, but I can't, it's extremely difficult to listen to.

To top it all, this weekend has been awful, I think I'm coming down with something, my throat (trout) is killing me. Got work tomorrow, my hours will probably increase because of Christmas, my sister doesn't like me very much anymore, I'm going nowhere, I haven't got around to calling the college yet, got to send the letter I received yesterday, none of my eBay purchases have arrived. 


www.vivienofholloway.com/en/catego…

Must buy that, preferably in green, or pow checked. 

Forgive me if this is lack luster, it's just feeling this rough combined with tear jerking music does not make for a lively journalling (yes, it's a verb) so I shall probably be on later, that is if I'm not eating, or watching Mad Men.

Sayonara guys and dolls. 

PS. FINISH DRIVING AND BUY A VINTAGE CAR!!!
PPS. GIRLIES BIRTHDAY SOON, BID, BID, BID AND HOPEFULLY WIN!

The way you make me feel like I belong, the way you make me right when I am wrong..

Gods day. Was going down Portobello road, didn't bother, thank God we decided against Brighton, poxy weather - it bucketed down. Anyway attempting to get bits before the girls get back for their birthday rather than leave it last minute, feeling rough at this moment in time, need to take better care of myself and my skin, probably take up pilates, yoga or jogging again because I'm feeling really zapped lately. Currently listening to some tunes I can't get out of my head at the moment, 'specially 'ol Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, mostly Sam's Live at the Harlem Club album, which is just mesmerising. My 1950's spectacles arrived yesterday, bloody chuffed I am considering I'm thinking of laser eye surgery, but at least for now I'm content, definitely contemplating getting more, here's a photograph: 
 


They are just darling, absolutely swell. Rarely do things I buy over the internet actually please me, I also purchased a vintage suit and some basic flats. Now I just need an authentic clutch and perhaps some gloves, still looking about and hoping to win some stuff, like a bathing suit (I know summer is finished but it's a one off) and another dress. Work tomorrow (on Bank Holiday Monday) didn't use my 20% discount because it was all too hectic, far too much in there (beauty wise) to register. Can't forget to bell the college Tuesday, a lot is riding on this. Mad Men is playing tonight on BBC2 so I'll probably end up watching one of those, need a earlier night though. Yes.. I know, this is the majority of my weekends. found a lot of old 'movie' books collected by relatives, so I've been looking through those and researching 1950s/1960s style on the internet a lot , scrutinizing every picture I can find, strange but then again I am awfully observant. Currently playing is The Descendants - Hope, which has become difficult to listen to, hits very close to home.


I feel as though I've purged my thoughts but no doubt I'll be back tonight. This evenings weather has picked up, I wish my mood would.

Feeling a bit tender as of late.

 Ahoy there mateys,

I didn't even get to finish that last entry, see? I warn people how awful  I am at keeping diaries and such, because I either forget or am overwhelmed by what I wanna write, and end up all at sixes and sevens. Right, where to begin..?

Currently I'm rediscovering Midtown, mainly because I thought I'd still fancy him, and I was right, he is still a bit buff (I hate that my mannerisms and my wittiness - yes, thats a word - don't translate over the internet). It's Friday, so I've officially finished my first week at my new job at TKMaxx, it's a bit shit, but it's better than a slap in the face, I just hope I last 'cause I'm useless at consistency. Nothing apart from that is new in my existence (writing life implies I have one) I want to start college but typical me, might be too late, Beauty Therapy is my desired subject, but things are running smoother than usual so I'm summink ugly bound to rear it's head. There's too much I wanna say and too many ways I wanna say it. The weekends gonna be a dud because I'm borassic lint and none of me stuff I've ordered has arrived yet, so I ain't got any of my usual provisions (such as an essential supply of Palmer's Cocoa Butter and other useless products that I'm conned into buying) but let's face it, I go occasionally and never end up enjoying it anyway, I'm far too analytical for that.

Big Brother 11 finished (the final one) I watched the majority of it, and I'm chuffed Josie won, I see a lot of myself in her, although it's cheesy to say, but if it's genuine, watching her and John James was really... nice? That's not the word I wanted to use but I'm not articulate when I feel like I've got a gun against me head. Blimey tonight feels like 5 years ago and 'Get It Together' is making me feel all funny. It's all a cover up anyway, all this frivilous natter but I don't know why, I don't, I really don't and haven't for a while now, but still, it still sits at the back of my brain, unnerving me, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is, and I if I knew for sure, I'd definitely be crushed. Only me and I think one other person will know what all that jargon means up there, I think I just miss the feeling because I never have felt it before (no, not love, this ain't some Jennifer Aniston film) but I know I don't because of my venomous nature, I can't, I am impossible and unlikeable, and don't know what to do with female attention let alone anything else, and I use to mask it, I use to be hateful to cover it, but now, I revel in it, the independence is really quite enlightening but at the same time scary because it makes me critical, unnecessarily so a lot of the time. Bleedin nora, this has turned into some sort of neurological blimmin autobiography! Oh well, all's well that ends well, eh? 'Cept it didn't!


Anywho, heartbreak is for people who have hearts! Well.. dunno what I'm doing with meself this weekend, and now I have the sudden urgency to write about what's happening in other people lives, women, eh? Went down 'ol Oxford Street on Thursday after work with me mucker Jimothy 'cause American Apparel called him in for an interview, didn't look about though 'cause it was chucking it down, Jim bought me some blouse, but got home and changed me mind, a bit too 70's for my liking. Will take it back soon, I'm sure. Wanna go down Brighton for some Soul Weekender but I don't have the funds, and I quite frankly can't be arsed to get all dolled up, waste of a weekend really, shoulda stayed at work. Still can't drive, and am desperately trying to get me MOT sorted so mum can start teaching me, so all that moolah that was spent on lessons don't go to the dogs. It's all cluttered up in my noggin just like my loft, it's all needs to just fall out, since I fell out with Roch, and Chars away, I just don't really have anyone to talk to, I don't think they take me seriously anyway, I think they think I'm trying to push things that just don't happen for people like me. I am a bit of a sorry joke, I know it, it's not easy knowing, but it alters the way people think about you if you're a soft touch. Life is so draining sometimes, it puts a lump in my throat, trouble is.. I don't know what more I want. Mates? Not particularly, just complicates things, people want mates because people think you should have because everyone else wants them because others have,  you know? (You don't). Boyfriend/Girlfriend? Nah, haven't even thought about it, I did contemplate it once, for a short period of time but I soon snapped out of it. None of that, I know what is for me now. Work? Now I have a job, I'm terrified of losing it, it's pathetic really. Car? The only thing I lust after is a decent car, it's the only thing that would make me confident, to hide behind that glass but still be looked at everywhere I go, perfect.. just perfect. 

I'm at my wits end and so lost. I don't know whether I'm coming or going, it's time like these when you need some nostalgic decent pop punk Well I'm going to waste what it is that people live for: The weekend. I just want to sleep forever sometimes.



Just need to write this down here to remind meself of summink I must do: eBay - blue suit
