Bus stop bull...

Time to sober up???

Friday, July 30, 2004

Last night I drempt of San Perdo.

I didn't really but I did get so drunk that I am still drunk now and have only had two hours sleep.

Kash Point was a blast and I looked great. In my summer party dress and white stilletos I was the belle of the ball. Well not really but I did look good and the heels made me dance like a stripper. This aspect was not helped by the fact that the ship had loads of poles. Yes of cause I danced with them. I was so great. I fell off so much and have huge bruises on my legs.

G and I had 5 bottles of wine within the first hour of arriving. This was not the best idea ever as we had already had a bottle of vodka on the way there. I was a dirty mess.

Big time lapse.

I was so sick I thought I was going to fall overboard. I can still tast the vomit in my nose. Gross.
Great music, cool people altogether a fun night out.

I am going to Little Greens party tonight and I am going as David Lee Roth from Van Halen. No one will guess who I am but I really don’t give a shit. I can see that I am going to get overly drunk again.

I have to go now as I cant be bothered to type any longer.

Have fun and remember… sheep are not horses.

Thursday and I am not hungover. It's a miracle.

I went out to celebrate Little Greens birthday last night but completely ran away after about an hour. Betty and I had a jug and then made a subtle and speedy exit. Everyone was completely wasted and not really much fun. I felt a bit bad but I have a super busy week ahead of me and don’t want to be a complete wreak by then end of it. Also Betty and I have made a real effort for Little Green's actual party on Friday night so it is swings and round-abouts.

I am off to Kash Point tonight. I have been worried about this for a bit and though that my costume was not going to be great enough but Betty and I came up with the solution last night. Due to the Garden Party theme and the extreme nature of the club I am now going as a gardeing Stepford wife. I think it will be great.
I am not doing a bad drag thing but rather a boy in a dress. I think it will be hillarious. I have white stilletos and everything. I have the feeling I am going to learn why woman complain about their feet all night when you take them clubbing. Also the shoes I have are not the best quality in the world ever and I know I am going to get drunk and fall over loads.

I arrived home last night to find many gifts for me. A pair of shoes fom ebay that I thought I would hate but are actually great and funnily enough I have the same pair in white at home. What a great surprise. Also my fab badges had arrived. They are the best thing ever. The one I am wearing today says " I came on Eileen". HA ha. Finally the Performing Poodle had sent me a super bling rhinestone encrusted horse head brotch. I love iot so much. It looks like something Princess Anne might wear on a night out. Brilliant.

I hope there are loads more things at home for me when I get there.

I am trying to curb my spending and purchasing on ebay. Its not even the money just the obsession factor. I need to face the reality that I cant do this for ever. I am going to make a comprehensie list today and then stick to it for the rest of the summer.
If you believe that then cheers. I even have a £5 bet with aguy at work that I will not stick to my list and there will be at least 3 more items on it by the end of the day. I am scared he will be right. Wish me luck. Does it count if I take some items off first?

Have fun and remember…you can never have too amny hats, shoes and gloves.

Morning.
I drove to work in the best mood ever and now I am having trouble staying awake.

I saw Leon last night…which was nice.

I have already won two trucker caps and a birthday card on ebay and its not even midday yet.
The birthday card is for my Little Green. It says "Die Bitch Die". This contrasts perfectly with my and Betty's present of a Christian Dior friendship belt.
I need some sleep but that is not going to happen as I have to go out drinking with her tonight. I cant be bothered but I will be there. I may not drink and just stay for a bit. Lame but would probably be a good idea.

I hope something great is waiting for me when I get home. I love gifts.

I really cant be bothered today so I will go now.

Have fun and remember…what goes up must come down if it doesn't you'll end up in casualty.

What a great morning!
I have arrived to work to find that I have won 2 great tshirts and 3 great badges. I love ebay.
I am sending off the contracts for my house today. It's a bit of a tight agreement but I think that we can handle it and not trash the house in 9 months.

I arrived home to find a cd had arrive that this really nice girl in a band called Starlit form LA had sent me for free. Bargain. They are relly tallented with fab lyrics.
I had a great night which consisted of Mario 64 playing, Big Brother (which I am so bored of now) and Aliens. I love that film so much. It was such a great idea to make the follow up such a different format from the first. Genius.

I am currently listening to Bjork Debut and writing this. Obviously.
The Performing Poodle and I are exchanging gifts by post this week. I love gifts.
I am in a great mood today for reasons I will not go into here.
That’s about it for the moment. Except on my way home last night I heard a lady teacing her young daughter the subtleies of geaciouly accepting unwanted gifts. Hillarious.
"But Mummy, I didn't like it."
Oh, how I laughed.

Have fun and remember…when an unwanted gift is received never tell the giver that it was either stolen or broken when they ask why it is not on display. This will result in them replacing it for you.
Russ.

Monday, July 26, 2004

Another Monday morning another load of great things that I managed to forget to buy on ebay. Curses!
I had a super fun weekend consisting of the following:
Friday evening I spent playing Mario 64 on my new Nintendo and much fun was had by all.
Saturday was spent shopping with Betty for great party costumes. Betty has the best boots in the world and I have some super sexy new pants. Not for the pary for my own pleaseure and the pleasure of anyone who sees me in them. Also I got a great Dior ring and a Dior belt for Littel Green. Dead bling.
Then on to a party on a converted Monastery. It was a blast. We had to pitch tents because stupid taxi's can never find the house. I got completely hammered and sent stupid drunken texts again. Bad Russ.
I sang La Isla Bonita to every song anyone played on the guitar and did my world famous version of 9 to 5 where I play one cord and not even a recognisable one. I loved it.
After 4 hours sleep I awoke to find a glorious day and that I was still drunk. I then went back to sleep on a tennis court. It was actually very comfortable.
Then on to the car boot. This week I went way overboard and bought loads and loads of stuff. My bargains included:
A b&w television for 10p.
Feet shaped fug rugs - 40p.
Wood look self adesive vinal - 50p.
Spinal Tap video - 50p.
Suede biker jacket with tastles - 20p.
Two new hand knitted jumpers with a horse motife and skiers - £2.
Yatzee and word fridge magnets - 80p.
And loads more but I cant remember at this second.
I had a blast but needed help getting it all back to my car.

I have a really busy week ahead of me.
Wednesday: drinks with Little Green for her birthday.
Thursday: Cashpoint - Garden Party theme - with Jon B and N.
Friday: costume party in Marlow for Little Green.
Saturday: White Trash Party in Wigan for Muscle Bitch.
Sunday: Back from Wigan and sleep unitl Monday.
I am really excited but before all that starts I have to sort my room out for when Little Lord Fontleroy comes to stay and get more things ready for Russingham Palace and continue work on college project.
Have fun and remember…punch at partys that is in a ten gall on bucket if always lethal.
Russ.

Thursday, July 22, 2004

Last night was very pleasant and productive.
After work I went to Sally's and got some special shapoo and conditioner for my new hair. I hope they work well as they were not cheap.
Then I popped to Tesco with The Bell to pick up some carb free food.
I couldn't believe it when I found out that basically all fish and sea food are carb free. I love all sea food and so am exceptionally pleased.
I had a very nice meal of peppered mackrel and saled with cheese and pickled onions. Not a carb in sight. Brilliant. I was so stuffed afterwards I did not even want a snack later. Am loving this carb free diet.
When I got home I had received my 8 tickets for the Red Bull Soapbox race being held at Knebworth. I think this will be a blast as it consists of two of my favourtie things. Original designs (ont the soap boxes) and crashes. I think it will bethe best thing ever. All I have to do now is find 8 people who want to go.
I started to clear my room of all the shit I have been collecting for ages. I have also put loads of things into my visual diary. It is getting really good. I am pleased with myself.
When I went to leave my house this morning I was surprised by a huge package on my doorstep. It was my new Nintendo 64. I was so please as I had only brought it the day before. I cant wait to play it. Ihave to go out tonight with Betty so we can continue The Wish List so I wont have time to play it. I am over excited about it though. Great.
Today I have already paid for about 6 items on ebay and I am waiting for shipping cost on a couple of others. I really have to stop about now or I am going to get so addicated I will have to go to ebay annonamous.
I have a ton of things to do today and am in a productive mood.
Have fun and remember…recieving a letter is good a package is so much better.
Russ.
I also received a package from Leon last night. It was a Van Halen badge he had bought on ebay like the day after we met.It is great and I fucking love it.

Wednesday, July 21, 2004

I so don’t know what to do with myself today.
I am feeling odd. I am sad but not for any good reason.
It has not helped that a friend of a friend has died ( not that I even knew them in the slightest) and they are also sad which has fuled me into a depression spiral. I hate it when people die and you remember everyone you have seen go and it brings your mortality into perspective.
I am not the kind of person who dwels on my own mortality at all as I am always living life to the full. Well trying to. But feeling like this makes me think about everything in far too much detail.
I hate it when you are kind of seeing someone and you have been spending elongated periods of time with them and then you have a long time apart.
It makes me miss them even if I don’t like them that much.
It is even worse when you don't know how they feel about you or how you feel about them.
I hate it when I start thinking too much and start reading into things that don't even exist. I always do this and it just depresses me. I have been having the best time I have had in ages and its not just because I have been getting some.
I think I am just missing the point and not appreciating my own down time.
I few weeks ago I was in a self induced social coma and I was loving it. I need to get back into this mind frame but just not so far. I swear I am bi-pola. I have mega highs and mega lows but nothing in between.
All I really want is to know where I stand and what is happening. At the moment I feel completely out of controll and I don’t like it. I don’t normally have a problem with this. Yesterday I was just loving the journey and couldn't even care less where it was going but today is a different matter entirely.
I think I am being stupid. I have recently raised my game loads and I have done this in a completely contrived and calculated way.
I had my hair done, got nearly an entire new wardrobe, got a new house, job and nearly a new social circle. I have been exploring my independence buy driving everywhere and going to see my friends in St Ives. All these are things I have carefully considered and thought about for a long time. I have worked my arse off to get them and I love them.
So the questions is why do I feel so crap and stupid?
They obviously are all working because I managed to pull so when why am I not happy yet.
I think that I am going to concentrait on my new house and my college project. I just need to apply myself.
I think some of the reason I am feeling stupid is because all my current projects are almost over. I have my great hair, great wardrobe, great house and stuff. It’s a bit of an anticlimax.
I have nothing to work for at the moment. I need that level of interest to keep me up.
So, I am going to stop feeling sorry for myself and get on with it. I am going to read loads of my book this lunch time as well as sorting out all the other thing that I have been meaning to do for ages. I might even buy myself a little treat for my new house. I think it will be something fabulous. Maybe some 50's style kitchen implements.
Working my way through my feelings like this is so cathartic its not even funny.
I feel much better already.
Have fun and remember…have a project and get on with it.
Russ.

Today is Wednesday. The middle of the working week.
Last night I managed to finish watching The Stepford Wives after three attempts and falling asleep during them all. It is such a sad sad story it quite upset me. The questions is do they really kill the wives. What a waste.
I won another two tshirts on ebay yesterday and I cant be bothered to even try and upload pictures of them for you.

I am completely obsessed with ebay again and am currenlty watching over 50 items. Vertually all of them are tshirts. I think I need to curb my spending.
But it is so great to be able to buy an entire new wardrobe whilst at work.
My Van Halen shirt has still not arrived and I am getting restless now.
I am going to see Sheck 2 tonight. Fun, fun, fun.
I have also started a no carb diet. Well, kind of. I am still having my slimfast for lunch and then no carbs after that. I hope this new diet will have great results.
I don’t have a lot to say at the moment. Feeling a little bit melencholy. Just call me Oyster Boy.
One good thing is that they have finally put the information of my new college module up on the website and I can finally start work on it. At last I can get my brainin gear and stop it melting. Wish me luck.
Have fun and remember…don't annoy your husband or me will replace you with a robot.
Russ.

This baby's a bombshell. The world is my lobster.
Last night I went blonde with Do You Want To Get Cut.
David Lee Roth and David Bowie have nothing on my amazing retro rock hair.
I love it so much. I think my stylist is actually a genius. I have the biggest hair I have ever had. It is so great.
It’s a bit odd. Only two people at work have noticed my new hair.
I don’t understand this as earlier it stopped traffic. Literally. It is a liitle bright to say the least.
Last night I watched Miss Congieniality and half of the original Stepford Wives. I love Sandra Bullock so much. In my eyes she is a comic legend with amazing pins. I think that MC is my favourite of her films but a very close second is 28 Days. I love the drug addicts and alcoholics. For some odd reason whenever I watch that film I just want to get completely wasted. I don’t think this is a good reflection on me drinking less.
I am going to watch Shrek 2 tomorrow on the recommendation of about 200 people. It is kind of a work outing type thing but only 3 of us are going because everyone else has seen it. I hope it is as good as everyone has said or I am going to be very dissapointed. I loved the first one with all it's darker, un-PC undertones. I think it is actually really intelegent to be able to make a flim that has so many levels. Children love it because of the charecters and story but the script is for the adults. Way clever.
I need to start keeping in contact with my friends more. I keep ignoring messages for a certain friend of mine. Not because I don’t ewant to speak to them but they send me messages at such random times that I am either asleep or really busy and then never get around replying.
Yesterday I had a seriously mad ebay moment. I have wanted a Nintendo 64 for such a long time now and have been watching loads of them but I refuse to pay more than £20 inc. P&P. I think this is reasonable. So I found one that was ending and bought it. Then about half an hour later I found another on the was also really cheap but had more games that I wanted and I bid on that one aswell. I have not checked if Ihave won it yet. I think I will do that now.
Well, I did not win the second N64 and I am actually a bit annoyed as I was out bid by 50p. I know it was a stupid thing to do but I could have resold the one I didn't want. Also I didn't win a great AC/DC t shirt that I really wanted. I think I am going to have to curb my spending a lot. I am loosing the plot.
However saying that today I am sporting a fabulous Hooters tshirt that arrived yesterday from ebay. I love it and I am overly pleased because I though it was going to be like a tent but it fits like a glove. Without the fingers sticking out.
Do I need a MarioKart shapped phone? I am not sure but there is a really cheap one for action and it is ending today. I will have to think long and hard about this one.
 
Also, the amazing Van Halen, SWAROVSKI tshirt is ending today. I want this so bad but I don’t think that it is going to be the most flattering fit ever. I am so unsure.
I think I am going to bo some work now whilst I listern to more Bis. I love them so much.
Have fun and remember…new hair is great. Reinvention is the way forward.
Russ.

Monday, July 19, 2004

Another Monday morning and again I missioned it in from Fulham.
Not really a mission at all but fun all the same.
I had such a geeat weekend.
Friday consisted of much bozing in Maidenhead and too much tequila, Goldfrapp, Rachel Stevens, The Killers and PJ tshirts. Giant hair, overly rocked up and dancing on my own.
On Saturday Betty and I went to my my new house and moved just the two boxes of booxs in. 10 poloroids later we went over to Serbiton and had a spot of lunch, some charity shopping and Betty got some original art as a present. Altogether quite a mature and civilised afternoon. Well, it would have been if we had not have gone in to a pharmacie to get veruka socks, water wings and swimming caps. Hilarity ensued.
Saturday night I speant in Fulham. I have the bruses to prove it.
Sunday I went to Spitterfields market briefly and then on to a BBQ just off brick lane. The BBQ was great in this lovely house with a 50's bar and a tiki style conservetory. I had a great time.
I sayed in Fulham again Sunday night and am actually really tired now.
I think it is time to order breakfast in as I am starving.
I am quite annoyed that I missed a great neon Kiss t-shirt on ebay but I did get a WASP live at the Lyciem video on Saturday. It is great and I am going to take all my style tips from it.
Tonight I am having my heair bleached and hopefully I will end up looking like David Lee Roth.
I am still getting called Van Halen which I am loving. At the BBQ where I only knew one person everyone called me Van Halen. This did loads for my confidence. I hope my Van tshirt has arrived today. I cant wait.
Whilst having my hair done I am planing to watch the original Stepford Wives. I love it and I want to refresh before the remake comes out. It does look good though.
Have fun and remember…dripping candle wax on skin does not burn.
Russ.
 
I had a fucking filthy weekend and I loved it so much. I feel so dirty. Brilliant.

Friday, July 16, 2004

I have found possiably the best sit in the world ever.
 
http://www.80snostalgia.com/classictv/misc/sounds.html
 
Check out the A rather appauling Punk Rock version of the Littlest Hobo theme.
I love it.
RUss.

Friday at lastand I am in quite a good mood.
A small nap lat night turned into a 12 hour sleep and I awoke this morning a bit confused about where the night had gone.
So, again I did not manage to sort out the things to take to Epsom tomorrow. That will have to be done first thing Saturday morning.
Betty got back yesterday but I have not had a chance to speak to her. I bet she is walking a bit funny due to all the crime fighting I am presuming she did.
I think I might go out on the lash tonight and might even venture into Reading for booze fuled dirty fun.
I don’t have anything else to say at the moment and as much as I would like to jump into a elongated speil about some mundane social comment I don’t have the brain power at the moment. I can kind of feel my brain melting a bit with the monotany of office work.
Have fun and remember…you are what you eat so don’t eat dog.
Russ.
 
I am just trying this out for future secret postings.

Lunch with Cuffbert.

I thought this was going to be a complete mission and really odd. However to my surprise it was actually quite fan and relaxing.

Something that I have known for a really long time is that we actually have nothing in common at all. Conversation was a bit stilted but that was mainly because I am so tired after my drinking session last night.
We both had the lunchtime special. I am actually so stuffed it is not ven funny.
I have had a true refeed day and my paunch is showing visable evidence of this now.

I am hot and tired and now have a million things to do now. What a crapper.

Today I have also brought a pair of black stan smiths from ebay. I am stupid and did not check the payment method before bidding and even though they are dirt cheap I now have to get myself a postal order or bankers draft.
Mission.

I think I will take book to my new house on Saturday. All my helpful random graphic design books are a good thing to get in there. We are going to take loads of poloroids so I can design the layout back in Maidenhead during the week. It will be the best thing ever to have the keys to my own house. I love it.

Have fun and remember…don’t get paranoid if you don’t speak to someone for a day. They are probably a bit busy.

Russ.

Today is Thursday and I really have to sort out the things I am moving to Epsom tonight. I have said I am going to do it every day this week but still haven't got round to it.

I went out last night with Bell. We were meeting at 9pm but I arrived at the pub just before 7 so I could have a few drinks and relax after a hard day at work.

I did manage to get completely hammered and speak utter rubbish to everyone within an hour. I had a blast.
Bell and I discussed making nipple tastles and tu-tu's for her trip to Mexico. Random yes, fun, hell yes.

I also managed to get so drunk I was sending childish texts when I should have known better. Needy, insecure Russell rears his ugly head at the best possiable moment again. Ooops.

I am now feasting on a huge breakfast bap. I am loving it.

Have fun and remember…an egg a day keeps you gay!

Russ.

Wednesday, July 14, 2004

Lets all jump back in time for a minuite.

Wednesday I won tickets to see Electric 6 on Thursday night. Betty and I went and we had the best time. I won the tickets on Lauren Laverns show on XFM. When I arrived at the Capital Radio reception to pick them up ther was Lauren just finishing work.
Well, me being me I had to personally thank her for them. Betty has loved Lauren and Kinicky since about forever and she was a bit of a vegetable and just stood there and grinned.
So off we went to the gig. I was being held in the Islington Carling Academy. I really nice intimate venue. They were suported by Zoot Woman, who I love and they were brilliant.
I had a few beers and was a bit trashed but not too badly. By the time that E6 came on I was gagging to party hard. They did such a great set and Dick Valentines psudo camp coreoraphy was just so great I loved it.

Then to St Ives. Well, I managed to get there in about 4 hours which is apparently really good timing. Little Lord Fontleroy has a house down there and he had been staying there for a couple of weeks with Muscle Bitch and I though I would go down for the weekend just to catch up.
We had a total blast.
I arrived and we went out for dinner I think. I don’t actually remember. Actually I do now. We had burn pizza in the pad courtesy of Mucle Bitch then we went to quite a nice trendy bar on the sea front. I got hammered on Cosmopolitans again. Then we were on our way to the only club in St Ives but on our way we passed a local pub with live rock blasting out of it. Mucle Bitch and I were drawn by the sounds but LLF was not convinced. When we got in there was a great live rock band made up of a group of old me. They were actaully really talented and did some brillinat classic rock covers.
Some how I managed to get obliteated and was loving it. MB was attacked by some wierdo and had to do a semi jive with him for an entire song. It was a long one as well. Later we found out that he did not actually arrive ona special bus that he was the landlord. Random. After the pub closed we attempted to go to the club howver we all got id'd and me being old did not have any on me. I'm seven years over the age of concent and I still have to produce id. I think it is a bit of a joke.
We then went back to the pad and started to watch Bo Selecta! I managed to watch the entie thing, however LLF sent the entire programme chucking up and MB fell asleep half way through. Boring light weights.
I loved it.

have fun and remember...better the devil you know that Sonia and her big head.

RUss.

Today is Wednesday and it has been a week since I have last actually published. I have given up actually being able to catch up with the weekends events in a blog.
I am just going to carry on or I will be behind for ever.

Last night I watched Addamms Family Reunion. Now, I know this is the third in a series and that it aslo has none of the original cast members so I was not actually hoping for much. With Tim Curry and Daryl hannah in the lead roles I tought I might be interesting.
I was wrong. This film had no merit. Old tired jokes and two of the worst performances ever I actually fell asleep 30 minutes in.
Also I was really annoyed when channel 5 did me an injustice.
Tuesday's are as everyone knows CSI night, however they have swapped CSI with reruns of CSI:Miami on Tuesdays. This really annoyed me as I have no mental stimulas last night.
This morning I finished my book. I was a bit dissapoited with the happy ending but there was a tiny glimmer of a distubance to finish it off.
I am going to start reading Tron today.
The brillinat 80's film in book form should be great. I am actually looking forward to starting it.
Betty is currently in a swanky hotel in Knightsbridge with the boyfriend. They are having a romantic mini break with the premis of seeing PJ Harvey two nights in a row at Summerset House. Really it is just a crime fighting spree in a hotel. I wish I had the option for such jaunts.

Tonight I am staying in again and trying to nurse my tonsilitis whilst sorting out things to take down to the house in Epsom. I have a ton of stuff to take but what goes first.
Betty and I are going on Saturday and we are going to wear dungerees and "Russingham Removals" badges. I think it is going to be hillarious.

My Van Halen t-shirt has still not arrived but I am not fretting yet. As long as I have it to wear on Saturday night everything will be great.

I just have to say that there are loads of other things happening in my life at the monet but I am not going to air them on in this public formum. If you are on of the privalige few then you either already know or soon will.

I have to do some work now.

Have fun and remember…text sex is great as long as you are ambidexterous.

Russ.

Thursday, July 08, 2004

Well, it is the middle of the afternoon and I am only just getting the chance to write this. I have been one busy boy.

What does not help is the fact that I work up with a hangover and that was only three hours after I went to sleep.

Last night I went to Betty's house and watched Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun. That is my number 1 film of all time ever. I love it so much and I loved it again last night. I said all the words just before they were said. Betty and I were drinking as we watched and the further into the film we got the more inaccurate my quoting became. But I slyly cover this up with a "Near enough" every now and then.
After the film we sang our little hearts out with the amaxing karioki machine. We were like singing machines. I had been screaming all night that we were not drunk enough yet. By 3am when we were lying on the sofas bearly able to still hold the mic's and we had accumplished our mission.

Yesterday afternoon I was at work listening to XFM and they had a chance to win Electric 6 tickets for their gig tonight. It was on the Lauren Lavern show and she just wanted you to call, text or email that you wanted the tickets to get them. I was on the phone and I text her. The message went as follows:

I want E6 tickets.
Love Russ.

A song later she said the three people had won the tickets and I thought she said Russ but it could have been Ross easily enough. I text them back to check if it was me but they did not reply.

We started drinking as soon as we arrived at Betty's and a couple of hours in a got a call. I was outside having a ciggerette so missed the call however a message was left for me saying that I had won the tickets and to call back if I wanted them. I immediately called them back and so tonight I am going to see Electric 6. I know I have seen them before but they are great. I tried to invite Leon but he is in Liverpool so Betty is joining me instead. I think we are going to have the best time ever.

Also went a bit mental when I found out the all the computers in Betty's house had been removed. Betty did not have a clue where they were but we concluded that her parents had taken them with them. This is entirly plausable as they were laptops.
The reason I wanted to use the compute was that I had to place bids on two items I really really wanted on ebay. A brilliant Van Halen T shirt and a 70's/80's rock satin jacket. I had to make an emergancy call to Bigbird who was out. I was going mental.
I wanted tha t shirt so much. I had to have it.
Luckily Bigbird called back a bit later.
I got her to place really large bids on the items. I was drunk when we did this and I went way over the top with my bidding.

When I arrived at work this morning I checked and I had won both items. I am so happy you cant even imagain.
I love it. However I now owe ebay about a ton. Ooops.

I have to work now.
Have fun and remember…don’t go mental on ebay when you are drunk. Well only a bit.

Russ.

Wednesday, July 07, 2004

Hello everyone, well probably just Performing Poodle.

Today is a good day so far. I feel quite good for this time in the morning. I think I got enough sleep again last night.
I am now completely obsessed with Somebody Told Me by The Killers and it is the only song I have listened to in the last 24 hours. I love it so much.
I think it is because it is so catchy and punky/indie pop with a tiny bit of electro. Also parts of it sum up parts of my life. I have deemed it my new Popstarz song.

Other Popstarz anthems are:

Celebrity Skin - Hole
Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Smells like Bootylicous


I actually cant think of any more at this precise moment but I know there are loads I will have to ask Betty later. I cant ask her now because she took the morning off work to fight crime. What a great reason to have time off work.

I have just checked my ebay account and I won two out of the 3 items I was bidding on yesterday.
I went and paid for the Hooters tshirt and the AC/DC tshirt. Unfortunately I did not win the Van Halen one. I am a bit annoyed but I really did go for loads.
There are loads more for sale and thers is one that I really want because it is so great. I would put up a link so you could see it but I am scared that the price would jump.
I need to get one soon so that I have it to wear next time I see Leon. I think he will find it really amusing.

My book is getting more and more entertaining and crazy. The main character has gone mental and is stalking her friend and has bugged his house and then faked a robbery of his house with the help of her cop friend. Really random.

I am going round to Betty's tonight and we are going to get trashed. I know we are going to get so drunk that we make slurred phone calls to people and tell them we love them and then sing with the karioki machine. We always do this and think we are the best thing in the entire world to ever sing. The reality is far from pretty.

Have fun and remember…boys in the girls room, girls in the mens room and none of them are pissing.

Well I had a slightly random lunchtime.

I returned my video and paid the fine. Considering that it was 3 days late it was still cheaper then going to BlockBuster. The library rocks.
Then I went and arrnaged my hair cut and colour with Do You Want To Get Cut. I am going to have a slight trim to make it look a bit healthier and loads more bleach to make me look like Mr Cobain.
When whilst reading outside the library, my book is getting really great at the moment, Cuffbert came over and said he wanted to invite me out for lunch some time. After my initial shock I said that some time next week would be my first window. I think this is a really odd thing and I am not sure if I should go. I think I will but I hate trying to look cool and better than people whilst eating and what the hell should I eat? As we all know I have to be super thin for my date thing so really I should not be eating at all. This is a bit of a conunderum.
I really don't think the lunch thing is anything other than that. Cuffbert is a bit uneducated when it comes to signals and dating. He takes everything on face value and expects people to do the same with him.

The final random thing is that on my way back to work I decided today was the day to get the Jesus Loves You frisbe. I went in and asked where they were. The overly friendly sales assistant said that the one in the window was the last one and he took it out of the window and gave it a good dust for me. Then he reeled off this story about how he could imagain me throwing it in a park and hitting someone in the head and them saying "That hurt" then looking down at and "but it's alright because Jesus loves me". Very strange and random.

Have fun and remeber...even if you are injoured Jesus still loves you.

Good morning,
Today I am feeling surprisingly good.
I had just enough sleep, won another great overpriced Nintendo keyring and spent awhile texting Leon.

Just when I thought things were about to end they didn't. Also to my surprise when I quoted Bo Selecta "I want to ride you like Sea Biscuit" he found it ammusing and knew I was not mental.

Other good things today are:

My cultivated new look "70's/80's dirty retro rocker" is going well. I am managing to get the t-shirts I want and my hair is looking better and better. I am loving it.

Today I shall mostly be looking for Van Halen t-shirts. Jump!

Tuesday is always a nice day becaue it's CSI night. Even though thay have removed Law and Order - Criminal Intenet and replaced it with some funny Rob Lowe lawyer thing I am still looking forward to tonights TV.

This is probably the last time I will be discussing it here but I think I am going to meet up with Leon again some time next week. I want to see this thing work. If it only works for one more night then that is fine and any longer than that is a miriacle in my book but I don’t want to see it go the same way that Norway did. Therefor I am going to limit what I say about it here.

I am off to St Ives on Friday and I think that it is going to take me such a long time to drive there. I have done a couple of on-line route planners and they are saying between 5 and 6 hours. What a mission.

I am going to go balistic with my diet as well. I have until Friday to get a bit thin and a bit longer to get really thin for my date thing. I will do it. I am on a mission.

Have fun and remember…you do not hold your own destiny in your hands others do.

So after some gental persuasion by Betty I finally replied to Leon with a simple text. When I say simple it took a good ten minuite discussion to formulate the correct response.

Now I am in turmoil about if a reply is ever going to appear. I am not holding out much hope but you really do never know.

I have spent a good chunk of this afternoon thinking about if I actually want to see him again and I have come to the conclusion that I do.

Not only do I want to refresh my memory about appearance and get the chance to fight crime again but he actually was a really nice person and someone who I felt was on a similar lever. It has been such a long time since I have met anyone who was as interesting and cool as Leon.

I think I might do a really bad thing and get Betty to also text him to thank him about being so understanding with the getting home mission and then I will actually know if it really is the end of the night and I am not wanted anymore.

I am so going mental about this now. I was fine this morning and really did not even think about it at all but now I am turing into Bateman.

Oh well…I am also considering a stalking mission. Tha is not too bad really. Is it?

Why are these things so increadibly complicated and confusing. The entire dating mating etiquette is the most annoying thing in the world.

Monday morning…what a blast to be sitting at a faux wood dest again.

I had the best weekend ever but not just because I got some.

The gig that I had been persuaded to go to got cancelled, well cancelled is not really the correct word. The "unpredicatabel opening hours" which I had read about on the venue's web site were confiremed when Betty got a call from her boyfriend saying that he was outside and the place was closed. Random!
So we met them I am little pub and had a few bevies before moving on to Garlic and Shots in SoHo. A little goth bar that has a catacoombe where the table was a kind of coffin/scarcofficus. We drank double vodka and cokes followed by Blood shots. Blood shots are basicaly shots of bloody Maries with too much tabasco. I could not feel my lips for most of the night. After far too many shots Betty and I dicided to go to Popstarz. Now I have not been to the brilliant indie pop club in absolutely ages, actually since New Years Eve and I was overly excited. Now, because we were overly drunk and feeling ostentatious we asked a rickshaw driver if he would take us to Kings Cross. I was so surprised that he agreed.
This was the best journey ever. I nearly shit myself with fear but it was hillarious. When we arrived the driver got off and I thought he was going to die or at least have a heart attack. He was panting like a dog. This was so funny but I felt a bit bad for him, for about a second.
So we arrived at Popstarz and were totally hammmered. I am actually surprised we were let in but who am I to question the bouncers at a great nightclub.
We danced and drank loads. I had told a friend of mine that I was going and he said he would meet us there and then give us a lift home to Maidnehead. Howver I was so drunk I did not even manage to find him. I feel a bit bad but you know how these things are. I got over it.
Betty even gave me a present. We shall call him Leon. A muisc promoter who lives in Stretham or something, originally from Liverpool with an obsession for Addidas. I love Addidas too. I was instantly interested when he asked what my top 5 films of all time were.
Leon's Top 5 Films Of All Time Ever.
City of God
I cant actually remember anyof the others at the moment.
She found him because of his New York Dolls t-shirt, which I have to admit was really cool. We partied hard and after a really long and complicated taxi journey around London trying to get Betty to a safe place, which ended up being with her boyfriend I ended up back in Stratham. I had a blast. I have now worked out that I was actually only there about 6 hours. Possiable some of the most fun hours in my life.
Then I had to drag my poor tired body into Picadilly to meet my friends for a Big Gay Out.

It was a complete blast.
Harassing people that I hate, drinking over-priced alco pops, telling Har Mar Superstar to have my babies, licking my nipple at him and him doing it back, shouting obsenities at Sugarbabes and much much more. Only bad point; wearing my cowboy boots for 28 hours - a little painful.

Sunday brought the carbooting day again. Performing Poodle and I trundled down as it was closing which I actually a great idea as you get the best bargains. I got loads and so did she. I think Kathleen Turner is now missing a pair of brown and white Versace shoes as Poodle brought them. We loved it so much. Then chillin and chatting with Bigbird and Buns of Steel whilst playing with seven week old kittens. So much Sunday fun.

I finished the day with a giant sandwhich( I pretende I worked in Subway again) and a Russ Myers. Faster Pussycat, Kill…kill. I even loved that.

This weekend I shall mostly be loving everything. However do I love Leon? Should I call and try and meet again or should I just leave it. I had the best time ever but would it be the same again? I like the idea of being loved and the idea of being in love but have a giant fear of it. What should I do? I think I will discuss with Betty at lunch.

Have fun and remember…if you see someone strange and then they dissapear it does not man you hallucinated them.

It's Friday and the beginning of the end of the working week. Thank the Lord.

I am currently so tired its not even funny. I was asleep by 10:30pm and I am still tired. I really think I am getting old.

Tonight. Betty has persuaded me to go to a gig that her boyfriend is playing in London. I am going to have to get all gussied up and be the great friend.

My new book is so much fun I am loving it, however it is making me want to get laid. Maybe tomorrow it will happen but I doubt it.

I paid for my Michael Bolton t-shirt yesterday so hopefully it will be in the post today. I am overly excited about this. I know it is going to be the biggest thing in the world when it does arrive. I think I am going to cut the arms off and wear it like a huge eighties vest. I will look so great.

Due to my hangover yesteday I had a refeed day. I did so well on that apect. I had a slimmer sounp in the morning, 2 big Macs, large fries and a strawberry milkshake for lunch and a reasonable size chinese take-away for dinner followed buy 2 dairy milk mini bars and a bowl of cereal. Even though I ate all this I am feeling a bit thin this morning. I am back on the diet now and forever.

Bigbird and G have had a row and now Bigbird has backed out of G's birthday bash on Saturday. I think this is just really rude. I hate it so much when people abandon you on your birthday. I think the entire argument was so petty and stupid. Oh well we will all have such a great time anyway she will be the one who misses out. I think Bigbird is cutting her nose off to spite her face.

I am going to do some work now.

Have fun adn remember…it's not illegal to be late but it is illegal to speed.

This morning I feel like a turd. I am sure I ended up looking like Stephen Hawkins last night. I forgot my golden rule. Never drink tequila ten minutes befor you go home on a school night. I blame Avril, because she bought me and Betty a shot each however I took it upon myself to drink them both at the bar.

I am sure I am going to be sick any minuite and I nearly pooed my pants earlier when I did a fart. I am so wrong this morning.

Today I am wearing my "Czech me out" t-shirt but really it is saying "Check me out I'm a state, look at the mess I'm in". My eyes are such a mess I had to enlist the use of some touche eclet to make me look at bit alive.

I think I am going to go now because I cant really think.

Have fun and remember…only God and I are perfect.

Russ.
