An overview of opinions and observations for the month.
01/03/2014 @01:13
No matter what happens in life, you'll always find time to wonder about how different things could have been if you had done things differently.

Gutted! Cheapest I can find face paints in Hanley is £10! I was right excited at the idea of making Charlie look like a zombie! :P - at least he isn't that bothered atm, I've bought him a little sticky stretchy orange alien in a tub of fluorescent pink slime so he's happy as punch lol.

I woke up this morning, drew back the curtain and felt instantly invigorated at the sight of glorious blue skies and beaming sunshine. Daisies would be lucky to feel as fresh as me today!

As English people, we are blessed with appreciation for the simplest pleasures. An isolated spell of sunshine, and we're content with the world and everything in it.

That was an absolutely sick episode of Banshee! Fuck yeh! Love me a bit of revenge violence!! Now then! Onto the next show!
[watching The Walking Dead]
03/03/2014 @23:58
I'll never understand why girls cream over the cold hearted, emotionless bad boys... *sigh* - anyyyyways, NEXT!
[watching Parks and Recreation]
04/03/2014 @00:22
Hahaha oh my days! What a boss anniversary present! I know it's just a TV show, but Leslie just bought Ben a full scale replica 'Iron Throne' from the Game of Thrones! That'd be a fucking legit gift!! Right, last show before bed now I reckon!!
[watching Big Bang Theory]

A beautiful face is pointless if it's combined with an ugly personality.
04/03/2014 @18:57
It's Pancake Day! I love Pancakes! Alas, I'm not having any Pancakes. Just one of the joys of living alone and not being arsed enough to make them for just yourself.
04/03/2014 @20:05
Sometimes I miss being in a relationship and having someone to call my own... then I play PS3, have a wank and remember how much easier life is being single.
05/03/2014 @09:18
Whether it's love, or simply lust, the feelings do not disappear over night.
05/03/2014 @09:47
Absolutely immense game trailer, really captures the emotion, panic and atmosphere of the environment and gameplay! I started playing this last night, and the atmosphere is absolutely ridiculously eerie! Underground in pitch black darkness, with only a small bit of illumination right in front of you from your torch, and you can constantly hear movement in the shadows right next to you etc... proper get's your heart rate up! You're panicking, turning to shine your torch and there's nothing there, but then you hear movement behind you again, and spin around and there's nothing there... then you turn around to continue forward and a big fuck off disfigured monster is there right in front of you haha! Bricking it!
I can already sense the impending discomfort and pain.
[feeling dubious at Sneyd Green Dental Practice]
Dentist: I'm going to have to give you some injections I'm afraid.
Me: It's alright, I'm okay with needles.
*Dentist aggressively stabs a needle into my gum*
Me: ARGHHHHH!
Dentist: I thought you said you were okay with needles?
Me: I am! But good Jesus what are you doing!!?
So a random scouse bloke knocks on my door at 20:40 asking if he can sign me up to donate to Cancer Research UK for just £8 a month. He's all sincere with his little ID card and clipboard... but still, it sounds sketchy right? Fear not, he only wanted my full name, date of birth, full address and postcode... and here's the best part, he doesn't want to take any of my money on the doorstep because of the dangers of him being mugged, so he'll just make a note of my account number and sort code and set up a direct debit when he gets back to his work premises.
[feeling uncharitable]
That was quite easily the most emotional PS3 game I have ever played. Ever. Like forever, ever. Like more emotional than Aeris dying in FFVII. Yeah, I know. That means it's major emotional.
[feeling emotional]
[playing Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons]
Miserable weather, but the skies remain clear in my life! Off to fetch me munchkin! ♥
[feeling blessed]
People always say Ilysha is a happy soul... here is a demonstration of why! This was the bus journey home this morning! :') xo
It's been an absolutely lovely day with my little Princess, maybe except for the part where she managed to spectacularly projectile vomit all over my jumper, my jeans, her t-shirt, her trousers, 2 of her teddies, her bed blanket, her tippee cup, a sofa cushion, my boot, and the foam floor tiles! In the words of Ron Burgundy, "I'm not even mad, that's amazing!"
I would love to just go a quiet pub for a couple of beverages and a catch up with some of the people I miss the most. Unfortunately, I'm a realist, so I'll pop the kettle on and prepare myself for a quiet night in with the PS3.
Well, in British terminology, today is perfect beer garden weather! You won't find me in a beer garden today, but I will be out and about with my Sonshine in the sunshine somewhere making the most of this elusive occurrence!

[feeling like I'm missing out on my annual vitamin D intake opportunity]
I think I can officially say I've really got back into gaming; since getting the Platinum on Skyrim a week ago, I've completed:
1) Metro: Last Light (45% Trophy completion)
2) Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (100% Trophy completion)
3) Tomb Raider (70% Trophy completion)
Think I'll make a start on Bioshock Infinite tomorrow night.
[feeling like the old me]
Being sociable requires way too much effort, and life is so much simpler when you're antisocial. I was once the epitome of a social butterfly, yet nowadays I'm happier hiding away in my cocoon 99% of the time.

"Our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind.../
You barely talked, and I didn't mind."
♥
[feeling like I miss us]
We don't speak much any more, I guess life got in the way of our friendship. Just know that I'm grateful for all the memories we share, and for the happiness you brought me in our time together, however fleeting it may have been.
"If you only listen with your ears I can't get in."
This world's imperfect...
but with you it's worth it.
Late at night my mind feels the need to think up bizarre concepts. Tonights is that humans are a lot like Rubiks Cubes. Allow me to explain... We have many different sides to our personalities, yet most people can only ever figure one side of us out at any given time. Also we can't show every side of us at the same time, because some contrast with each other. We have the potential to be perfectly in order and organised in all aspects of our lives and on all sides, however we often focus so hard on sorting out one aspect only to discover we've unintentionally messed up the others at the same time. No matter how long we are complete and perfectly sorted for, someone can always come along and mess us all up if they choose too. Then once we are thoroughly messed up, it's often difficult to get us completely perfect again without time and effort. When people see how messed up we are, most won't even bother trying to fix us - they walk away because it's easier than taking on the handling of the task of sorting us out. Some try, but ultimately give up when progress is slow and results are not immediate. You see, this is what happens when I lie in bed awake thinking... my mind starts conjuring strangely logical metaphors. I think I should probably go to sleep now.

I'm either honest or I'm an optimist, but never both at the same time."
The thing about bad ideas is, they seem good at the time.

Boredom breeds foolishness.
Had an awesome day with my lil' Sonshine :) - we caught the bus then had a little trek down to Tunstall Park, fed the ducks (swans/geese/pigeons included), had some fun in the play area including Charlie making a new friend who let him play on his bike, had an ice cream, climbed the rockery, then walked back home via Dimensions & Vale Park... then we played wrestling at home which consisted of Charlie battering me pretty much, then went Maccy D's... now I'm thoroughly exhausted, but as ever, grateful for such a wonderful weekend with my children!!
[feeling blessed with Dawn Wheels Owen and Sheila Scott]
I know a large proportion of my mates on here have Call Centre experience in their work history, well seriously, find the 5 minutes to read this and realise YOU ARE NOT ALONE! This is how EVERY real member of Call Centre staff feels!
[http://whatculture.com/offbeat/22-problems-call-centre-workers-will-understand.php]
Time to officially end another lovely weekend with my beautiful children. At times I get lonely and find myself wishing days away, but it's never the ones I spend with them. I genuinely do not believe the English language includes words to explain what they mean to me, or how I much I truly love them. They are my whole world and everything in it; they complete me in ways I never even realised I needed completing. They are the definition of perfection, and life without them wouldn't be worth living. I love you so much Ilysha & Charlie, and nothing will ever change that. You remind me of what truly matters, of the beauty of innocence, and your love is what truly keeps me alive. You complete me, and I'm always going to be around for you, no matter what. You are my Son and my Daughter, my Prince and my Princess, my Alpha and my Omega. You are my everything ♡

It's going to be a long day, but at least I feel pretty fresh. Bit of overtime tonight in preparation for tomorrow's office relocation, so I've got a lovely 12hr shift to crack on with. As if Monday's weren't depressing enough already.
[feeling fairly fresh]
Had a rate busy day beginning the office relocation today, knocked off work about 8pm then been Spoons for a few swift bevvies with Mr Stokes, then came home & smashed in a fat munch of sausage, tomatoes, cheese, hash browns and lambs liver whilst watching the Walking Dead... oushhh today has been well and truly dealt with!!
[feeling wonderful]
Good. Fucking. Jesus. Some next level madness on this today!!
[watching The Walking Dead]
Pretty much all systems are go! Fucking 'ave it!
[feeling fucking amazing!!]
Going have some lunch now we are fully operational, fuck yeah! Couple last things to resolve but we're 95% online!
[feeling successful!]
It feels so amazing to simply recline with a nice hot mug of coffee and relax catching up on some TV, fully aware that your day was both uber productive, and uber successful. All my forward planning and tedious preparation paid off, I daresay the office relocation went smoothly!
[feeling proud]
I just want to say a massive sincere THANK YOU to everyone involved in the move today for their patience, graft and assistance! All the Connect staff & Directors, Phil McClusky & Mark 'Flash' from Open GI for assisting with Server configuration, the boss techie from Abbey Telecom who helped hook up the phone system, the site engineer from BT for sorting the SIP authentication, Peter Hargreaves from Fenetre for DNS support, Jeff from JPR Engineering for heating and plumbing guidance, the lads from Print Solutions for pulling us out the shit when we had a contractor let us down for external signage, the lovely lady at Barclaycard for the 45 minute PDQ configuration support, the main man from NCS for providing Toshiba assistance, and Carl and the lads who helped moving & assembling the furniture!! FUCKING AMAZING GROUP EFFORT! You all did me proud today!
[feeling accomplished]
"I love you" she told him. The poor lad didn't realise that all of Facebook had seen her tell numerous other lads the exact same thing in the past few months, through all the other short lived relationships she'd had. He didn't realise that in a couple of weeks he'd likely be single again, deleted from her life, and referred to as just "another dickhead lad" from then on. Meanwhile she'd have a new lad on the scene to say "I love you" to. Love? Unlikely.
This week at work has been absolute anarchy, non-stop with a massive workload still outstanding... and here I am, soldiering on and sorting out stuff at home that needs doing. Time waits for no man, if you can get it done today, then don't put it off until tomorrow!

I feel sorry for journalists, I mean you know decent stories are scarce when articles like this are being written! And there's even a fricking picture! And the following sensational wording: "After the thief distracted the worker by speaking to him, he snatched the two pizzas from his hands. They were described to police as being pepperoni and cheese." I'm actually sat open mouthed... not sure whether it's disbelief at this story and the epic inclusion of a description, or that picture of pizzas! Have you seen these pepperoni and cheese pizzas? Wanted in connection with a street robbery!

I recall a time when Friday meant going out and getting absolutely mortal, then spending Saturday rotting. I don't miss them days whatsoever... can't wait to see, cuddle & spend some quality time with my beautiful daughter tomorrow. I'm so lucky.
[feeling loved]
Curled up on an armchair cuddling with my Princess :)
[watching Frozen]
People only have power if you let them; well not today darlin', I've had a lovely day with my Princess & I refuse to let your attitude problem bother me... did you see that smug smile on my face? That's because you can't do fuck all to me, I'm untouchable and you hate it... HAHA suck it up sweetheart!
[feeling super]
[feeling blah]
Had a lovely day with my lil' Charlie bear, now I can kick my feet up and get some well needed rest ready for the working week to start all over again tomorrow.
[feeling exhausted]
This article really makes me want to travel before my time on this planet comes to an end... it's insane to think we mostly live in these lifeless, almost mechanic urban environments with dull concrete and corrugated metal as our surrounding bubble... meanwhile, out beyond the limited space we occupy are such beautiful, mesmerizing and picturesque locations that most will never get to witness or experience... it's tragic really.
[http://distractify.com/culture/32-surreal-places-that-actually-exist-on-earth-i-cant-believe-this-isnt-photoshopped/]
I've just read about British scientists finding a way to develop 'sperm' using stem cells from a female's bone marrow, meaning that soon it may be entirely plausible for lesbian couples to produce offspring that is entirely their own genetic creation without needing a male sperm donor. This is awesome news in the age where homosexuality is no longer so taboo and socially acknowledged, they also speak of being able to theoretically create 'eggs' from male bone marrow to mimic the process in reverse for gay male couples... not quite sure how the pregnancy and labour would work for that one though, and the article conveniently sidesteps that part!

[at Connect Insurance]
Ilysha came to @Connect Insurance to have a poke around our fantastic new offices. After being scared off by director "Smiley Dave Mac", she plodded about the reception area, and then decided she quite fancied the idea of tackling the spiral staircase for a better view. Check the exclusive footage captured by her entourage here! :') x
