Hello and welcome to my international jetsetting lifestyle. London, Newquay, and now, err Lydney (You get a gold star if you know where that is).
As ever, I don't want to go to work, something has annoyed me, and I am broke.
I do, however have a beeeautiful new flat. (beeeeautiful new things being the theme of the week, byt the way...)
Its on Rhumney street in cathays, and is teeny tiny, but very lovely, laminate flooring and eveything. I am so looking forward to some solidarity on my life, aswell as a bathroom that soen't have mould on the ceiling, no matter how often I clean it.
I won't go into the things that have annoyed me, because you never know who's listening these days.
Home Alone is on this afternoon, now that's what I call quality bank hol tv.
Please feel welcome to drop by the beeeautiful new flat anytime. I may disappear from these LJ seas for a while, possibly to return in a new, cuter alter ego, so don't cry if I do.

I am now the proud owner of a pretty shiny new tattoo. Its beautiful, and my father must never know.

oops, been a while...
My life is never dull, however. Richey had a fit last week, so cue more panicking, and dramatic phone calls to my place of work, and high speed car journeys to Heath hospital, and then four hours of waiting for a blood test result, when anyone with eyes could see he was fine. Also saw four quite messy car crashees wheeled past me on trolleys. That was a little disturbing. I was sad, because I thought Richey was fixed. No fits since august, and hardly any auras. Oh well, he's okay now, and no harm done.
I also went to London to see Calexico, and the only fitting words are 'oooh. aaah. wow...' I bought a pretty skirt with stars on from my spiritual home... Oxford Circus Topshop. It rained a lot.
And now I'm in Newquay for a few days. It is beeeeautiful weather, I got a little bit of sunburn on my back even! I am getting my first tattoo tomorrow, its quite hard to explain, its a sort of crescent moon shape, done in a tribal way with black lines with three stars in the middle (I've actually made it sound nothing like it looks). When I get the know-how, I shall post some pictures. If I don't bottle it...
i love you and shall see you soon...possibly with ink.

I completely forgot to declare my undying love for the Scissor Sisters. I went to see them at the uni about two weeks ago, and they absolutley kicked the ass off of any band I've seen in an age. Its quite a dancey-disco-funky album, but live, they just rocked. Hats off to the guitarist.
Also, how cool is the weather today? (um, only applicable if you're in Cardiff I guess) its pretending to be summer, there's actual sun, and warm-ness, and t-shirts everywhere. Feeling very summery and funky, and as well as Scissor Sisters, I'm loving a bit of NERD today. Never really paid them much attention before, but, yep, feeling it today. Hopefully going to Newquay at the end of April; as much as I love the city, I'm getting crazy for some sea air, and just air that isn't full of city smells.
Think I'll put up with the job till I move house, and then re-look at things. Its a such a point now where I can't afford to be unemployed, I have so many things to pay for each month, so I'll stay till I get something else. I fucking hate being an adult sometimes.

well well...
feeling, err, vaguely frustrated.
Coffee is BAD but it'll get you through?
Oh help, I've turned into him.
My boyfriend's band are on the radio at the moment, and its spinning my head a bit. I'm a rock star girlfriend.
Who spies on my LJ these days?
Do you think the people in the fun jobs ever feel like this? I got twenty fucking paper cuts from direct debit mandates. I can't wait for my five days off, but I'll spend all five days not wanting to come back to work, then getting that shit empty frustrated feeling when I am back.
Someone told me to smile and dial yesterday. I'm bad at targets and stats, and as I've just discovered, being quality monitored. Ive never been better at doing things that aren't my job whilst in work. I've never designed so many tattoos, written more paper journal entries and daydreamed about interior furnishings as much as I do now. Ive also been called a grunger for the first time since school. Its got a sort of nostalgic ring to it.
I'm looking for a sexy interesting job, with music and organising things and fun, and good money. But no-one has one of those do they.
But don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy at the moment, which is something of a record for me. I have a track record with depression, and an inabilty to talk about it, but for the first time in a million years, the good things far outweigh the sad bad things, and its lush. I have a future with someone, which is a novelty, and I have an income, and I can afford to buy things, even though I feel hugely guilty when I do, and Tetsuo are on the freakin radio!
I wrote some letters a few days ago, I might post them on here, see if they get read.

well, once again I've not written anything or even just popped in for about another million years. Its the pressures of a high powered job...or something.
Brief job update: it is quite dull, and I'm not very good at ringing people up and asking them for money. Particularly when people are mean to me, which they frequently are. I'd be mean to someone like me who rang up with a fake sort of cheery voice at 9am. I see 7am on a regualr basis, whci his not great.
But on the very very plus side, I get paid about £1000 a month. So I get to buy lots of pretty clothes and go to see a lot of bands. talking of whcih, I'm going to see Scissor Sisters soon, whihc is cool, and decided not too bother paying £45 to go and stand at the backof the Milenium Stadium and not be able to see the Chilis. May go and see Duran Duran, haven't decided yet? I think they're worth £30? Also on the gig theme, Tetsuo are playing The Toucan Club on Mar 22 so I recommend you go.
Anyone with anything interesting to tell me, please do as my life is quite dull at the moment, revolving around alarm clocks, the fact that Karl and Susan Kennedy are splitting up and wishing my job was more interesting. Apologies for the seeming lack of interest in your lives, when I have apet internet connection to call my own, I'll be back. Sidenote: I now have a beautiful new laptop!

Small revelation....I can actually do my job now.
I've been let loose on my own to ring people up and ask them why they haven't paid this months instalment of their loan/car/sofa repayment. Its..well, I'm not sure a word exists for what it is. I got paid on Friday though and that was fantastic. It actually almost made up for that Monday morning alarm clock going off feeling.
I want some more snow.
Also, I want you all to welcome my delightful young man richey100
to livejournal. Smile at him so he doesn't feel like the awkward new kid, or, err, something.
I must leave you all again now. my mum is going to cut my hair. £12,000 a year and my mums till cuts my hair for me........

My job is ok. it's just knackering, hence the total lack of updates recently. Lots and lots of training, and some of the people training with me are just shocking, but its ok. i won't die of boredom or other office related sydromes, but I may kill a man named Barry. The hardest part is the 7am starts. I was not put on this eart to get up early, and have you noticed how when you get up at 7 every day its really hard to lie in on the weekend, because you automatically wake up.
Things are looking good though. Except for the psychotic neighbours, and things would be even better. Its approaching that house-hunty time of year, Looking for a one bedroom flat in Heath, or nice Cathays for max £450 p/m. Any offers?
Think Tetsuo/Lindenstein Reunion/who the hell knows, aka Richards band have decided NOT to sign with Madcap. The guy who runs it has been being bit of a fool aparently. New exciting plans about founding their own record label, which I would build up, as would the bassist's boyfriend, Luke, and we'd run the businessy stuff, and sign other cool bands and be generally AMAZING. But lets calm down for the moment, its just an idea Victoria!

I've just realised that a week today, I'll have joined the mass populus of Cardiff in a.m. commutes to work on hot overcrowded buses and grumpy moods, and desperatley wishing it was friday not monday.
This is it Victoria, welcome to the rest of your life...
I'm sure it won't all be grim, but I have to wear buisness dress to work, which will falsely make me look like an adult, and I have a SALARY, not just weekly wages, which also technically makes me an adult. And a fucking council tax bill staring at me, which also reminds me I'm a student no longer... How do you all cope?

Thank you very much sanghasong, whatever you did worked! I am now a credit and collections adviser for Lloyds TSB, starting salary of £12,000! there is no a fighting chance of paying off some of my horific debt before I turn forty. I may have sold out, but until a lovely sweet well meaning theatre group are willing to pay me the same for looking after them, this will have to do!
P.S. Whats you best cooking tip/recipe? I feel my cookery range needs spicing up a little...
I recommend adding a little crushed up garlic to the water when cooking pasta. Garlic flavours without being too overpowering.

Gah! i just stumbled onto something very odd...I appear to have found my ex's webpage. And, err... Victoria, my ex best dearest friend who now hates me by all acocunts is now working in Waterstones, my 'local' bookshop....
How does he know where I used to work? AND has he forgot the rather immense argument we had over his taking offence at a diary entry I wrote that he read (The crux of the argument being, MY diary, if you don;t want to read things, DON'T. Duh.)
Gnash...ex-boyfriends! We used to be best friends too, and now he gives me the creeps. I feel bad about that, but then remember what a twat he was, and what an emotional fuckwit and how the world's permenantly ending as far as he's concerned, and I feel okay again. If he thinks I suddenly started disliking him for no reason at all, then he's dumber than I thought.

Okay, emotional exisentialist relationship crisis over.
I had an interview today for a job with Lloyds TSB. Not perfect, but since it pays £11,500 a year, I'm not complaining. So all being well, I wil get aphonecall at the end of the week telling me to start on Monday. I hope so, because it's about time, so could everyone please do the regular prayer sessions/candle lighting/grandma sacrificing to help me along?
I'm not really digging the whole back to real life thing at the moment. Christmas and New Year were nice, and then the week in Cornwall was gorgeous, and now I'm back in Cardiff being unemployed and skint, and it sucks, and I hate my rent, and my loan repayments. The temptation to run away and hide in a hole is overwhelming, as is the desire to rob the Post Office for next months rent.
Also, Jackson are playing at TJ's on jan 21st, the same night Richey's band are headlining so I have to go and see Richey really, and ignore to myself the fact that Chris Shifflet will be about fifteen miles away from me... :(

Happy Christmas everyone! My New Year resolution? To actually update this bloody thing more than once a month. It's not all my fault, no net etc... Actually, it probably is my fault, I'm just crap.
I had a good xmas anyway, I got a Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine. Oh baby!! going to try it out tonight with some pork steaks, and whatever else crosses my path on the eway to the fridge. And I got some pyjamas. they're great, everyone needs soft and comfy pyjamas. And I got drunk.
New Year wishes to everyone, can anyone be my knight(ess) in shining armour and find me a job for 2004?!

Now, lets see. Whats happened since the last time I was here...
1. I am now minus a wisdom tooth. It wasn't too bad, didn't bleed much, just sore for ages, and I'm only just back onto solid food. Depressing for someone who's diet mostly consists of Marmite on toast.
2. I am also minus a job again, having walked out of Waterstones because the bastards were trying to make me work overtime tonight and its Richey's birthday, so, no!
3. I have managed to keep a boyfriend for six whole months. Clever me.
4. I am still very poor.
5. I have bought the Darkness xmas song, therfore doing my bit to push them into the christmas number one.
6. I am really quite hungover right now.......
7. Happy Christmas y'all!

I have to have a wisdom tooth taken out next thursday. Please leave messages telling me of GOOD experiences with this, since all anyone wants to do is tell me how much blood they bled, how much it hurt and how nasty the tools used to take the tooth out were.

Oops i did it again. No internet access for me, which is annoying. My life is revolving around bookselling at the moment, i'm richer which helps, but sleepy. I forgot how hard it is to get up at 7am five days a week. And its just not easy to be nice to people all day.
Tetsuo, Richey's band, got a licensing deal from a Cardiff record label, which is nice, and an e-mail from Sony, which is nicer. They have to change their name which is tricky, thining of a band name is too hard,a nd all the options are cheesy. But they got a deal! And I'm going to be a rockstar wife.
I miss livejournal, actually having time to update it and a computer of my own to update on. I miss you all too, and I'm not gone forever, just till I sort myself out!
What else...um...My neighbours are pscychos. We had to call the police to shut them up the other night. 50 fucking cent at full volume at 3am? No thank you. I got a Dave Grohl autograph for Richey's birthday. Um...going to see electric Six again on December 13th, and I bought a new duvet! That's the height of excitement in my world. Till next time...
