Randomness Ahoy!

 I've tried making several blogs in the past. All with very specific themes. I can never keep them going. So this time, I'm just going to do a very general one. No themes. Just me doing what I do best. Which is alternately rambling or ranting, and occasionally squeeing about stuff that my husband just rolls his eyes at.

Like today for instance... I run a Twilight blog (and yes - at the mere mention of Twilight I know about half the population just probably rolled its eyes, but you know what? I know a HELL of a lot of people who WILL be interested so with a non-specific blog, those who are not, can just skip, can't they?)

Where was I?  Oh yes, Twilight blog... with one of best friends in the world, Cat. I saw a post she is planning which has included in it how she came to find Twilight, what she thought while reading it and what it means to her. I am an epileptic and a lot of my memories of that first time have already gone, so it inspired me to get that written down while I can still remember at least some of it. But there will be other stuff too.

I am a mother, a wife, a dreadful nerd, a Weight Watchers leader - which you may know also means I am also a big foodie, a Twitterer (Tweeter? Twat?), a demon procrastinator (one of my absolute favourite pastimes!) and just general all round good egg. I have tattoos, I've tried my hand at (and failed miserably at) writing, I can't draw, I'm a rubbish cook, but a pretty good baker, I love to sing (and I'm NOT bad, but not deluded enough to think I should try out for X Factor!), I'm also quite funny when I put my mind to it.

Anyway, I hope you might stick with me and maybe you'll see something you like.

"Seeing through the shit" - aka The Weinberg Problem.

 There are days when you realise that the people you surround yourself with are not the people you thought they were. I expect that perhaps they are looking at me and probably thinking the same thing, but as I said, there are days when that happens, and it doesn't just happen to me. Over the past year, I have grown to love a lot of people. Got to know them, made friends with, even travelled thousands of miles to meet them. And all the while it seems there was a Judas Iscariot among them and yesterday I was in the Garden of Gethsemane getting kissed. Not just me. One of my best friends too, who now doesn't seem to know what to say to me because she is so completely despondent at how we've both been treated and we're thousands of miles apart with absolutely no clue what the hell is going on. Something so unprecedented happened we were both left stunned. One minute everything was situation normal and the next, it was completely FUBAR for no apparent reason. I suppose w...

Sherlock - An Introduction and Season 3 *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

Image
 January 1st saw the VERY highly anticipated return of BBC original drama series Sherlock . Now before we start, for those of you who don't watch/haven't watched/are considering watching  Sherlock,  let me tell you a few things about it. Each of the three seasons contains only three episodes, but the episodes are all 90 minutes. Each one is loosely based on an original Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes story, but set in the present decade, i.e. use of mobile phones, t'internet etc. The series is co-created by Steven Moffat (of Doctor Who writing fame) and Mark Gatiss (who has also written a few Doctor Who episodes, but is also a very great actor and co-creator of The League of Gentlemen ) who also stars as Sherlock's older brother, Mycroft. They are both terrible because they make us wait a loooooooong time between seasons, so if you start watching now, you're lucky because you can watch all three seasons back to back - no waiting! Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) w...

What's the best advice you've been given?

 If someone asks me years from now, "What's the best piece of advice you've been given?", I will definitely have an answer for them. Up until six months ago, I'd always heard things that are useful, or seen people I admire in interviews say things that can be noted down, but nobody had every said anything directly to me that had impacted me or my life to any degree. However, last October, after one of 16 nights of a run of a city play, I was sitting in a pub with some of my cast members having a fairly angry (text) argument with someone. Obviously I couldn't see it, but I expect my face looked like a wet weekend and one of my cast mates leaned over and asked me what was wrong. I explained and he offered me these words of wisdom: "Don't waste time caring about people who don't care about you." At which point I put my phone down and haven't spoken to that person since. I don't think I can express how much healthier things have be...
