I was watching Trading Spouses tonight (adapted from the British series Wife Swap - the original’s always the best :) ), and one of the families had really bratty kids - constantly bickering, the older one terrorising the younger one, and both of them whining if they didn’t get their own way. It just reminded me how much I hate kids like that, especially when the parent doesn’t do anything to stop it. The mother was just watching it all happen. They say they don’t like it when a stranger comes in and tries to discipline their kids, but hey - you obviously don’t know how to do it, so why not let someone else have a try. You might actually learn something. I hate it when people think their bratty kids are cute, and that their unruly behaviour is somehow endearing - ‘awww look at those kids’ - IT’S NOT. Control your damn kids!

At the moment we’re watching a show about people who have been injured during various sporting pursuits. One of them was a man who was gored at a bullriding event. I really don’t have much sympathy for the guy. Sure, it’s awful what happened to him, but he knew before he went in what the risks are, what might happen, but he did it anyway. Idiot.

My counter has been sitting on 6999 for the last hour - I want to see it change to 7000 (I’m anal like that)… isn’t anyone up? I’m not posting another meme!! Someone come and visit meeeeee!!!

Update: Someone visited! Yay!

OK, enough of the meme bullshit, I guess I’d better come up with some content, eh!

Right then. Content, content, content…

I’ve still got my cold. I’ve just squirted half a bottle of nasal spray up there, though, so I’m happy for now.

I think there’s something seriously wrong with me. I’ve got 2/3 of a block of Cadbury chocolate sitting in my cupboard, and I don’t feel like eating it. What the hell?? This from the person who had to go to hospital because she ate too much chocolate… maybe I’m - gasp - growing up!

Bwahahahahahaha!

Nah, no chance of that.

Hmmm. Maybe I should go back to doing memes!

…but I’ve been sucked in by all the other people doing it (too many to mention!). This one’s waaay longer than the last one, so if you have even a vague urge to go to the toilet, I suggest you do so now.

Better? Good. On with the show!

I’ve got a stomach ache because I ate chocolate chip cookies for tea. But damn, they tasted nice.

I think I hope for too much - I need to learn to lower my expectations. The person who doesn’t care always wins.

I thought this one might be a fraction more interesting because you learn a bit more about the person… if you want to know more about me that is. The stuff I’ve done is in bold. Taken from Goldie. Be warned - it’s long!

I really hate it when people just sit there sniffing. I want to say to them, ‘Get a $@!!#$@ tissue!’ Today I was one of those people sitting there sniffing :( My nose was completely blocked, and I couldn’t breathe through it at all. I was dying to have an enormous sniiiiiffff (yes I know that sounds disgusting), since blowing my nose didn’t seem to do any good, but I was at work, and it would not have been pleasant for the people around me (not that that puts other people off doing disgusting things).

So I was surreptitiously trying to have little sniffs here and there, hoping that I’d be able to breathe properly again. It didn’t work, and so I was counting down the minutes until I could leave, and finally be in the cocoon of my car where noone would hear me in my full, unattractive glory.

And how sweet it was.

I need some new shoes. The ones I have are completely dead - I’ve worn them pretty much every day since I bought them, and the heels have disintegrated such that the sole of the heel has been pushed up into the heel part (which is hollow), so there’s a narrow, horizontal gap at the edge of each heel. Unfortunately, this gap is big enough to allow a stone to get into, but not for it to get out. So I’ve got a stone stuck in each heel, which means I’m rattling as I walk along. It’s driving me bonkers.

Fortunately, I have an intelligent husband who came up with the solution of putting some glue in each heel, so that the stones stick to the glue and don’t rattle around. So I was in his office, and he was gluing one shoe, and then I held up my foot for him to undo the zipper on my other shoe. When he reached to unzip it, I was thinking that it might look a bit suss if someone were to walk in at that moment, when of course someone walked in. Fortunately it wasn’t the worst person who could have seen it :)

So now I’m sitting at my desk with no shoes on, waiting for them to dry, hoping that M will bring me a cup of tea because I’m too embarrassed to walk to the kitchen barefoot to get one myself. Plus, I can’t be bothered explaining to people why I’m not wearing any shoes.

Do you ever feel weird if you get up too quickly after you’ve woken up? That’s how I’m feeling now. I was sitting at my computer a couple of hours ago, and suddenly felt really tired, so I thought I’d lie down for a little while. I woke up about an hour and a half later, and thought that I should get up, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get to sleep tonight. So I jumped out of bed, and now I’m feeling really weird, like my body doesn’t quite want to wake up. It’s quite odd.
