Wooop woop!


Fong was RIGHT by jove!! The Google page ranking of my Friendster homepage is a mighty 6/10!!! Halleluliah. That gives me a mighty wave of ego spunk splashing all over my keyboard as I type insanely!!

My Welcome To The Goddess Complex page only gets a modest 3/10 - but I am still pleased with this.

(Fong this is not a proper update, so look out for your requested words next time, same channel)

Wooop woop! x 2


TRISTAN GOT THE JOB! Congratulations my little Dewey lookee likey!!!

Local Boy In Fake Gun Fury!!!


This morning Olliekid regaled me with a fucking hilarious story of how a day, which started with him finding a cowboy hat in his brothers wardrobe, ended up with an armed response unit turning up at his house! I really want to retell it here but he had me in hysterics on the phone and I am wondering if I am up to the task of relaying such a great story without ruining it!! I will ruminate this evening and decide whether I can retell it or not.


NOISE COMPLAINT!


This morning, as I stumbled blearily eyed out of my bderoom, I saw that Tristan had propped up a letter outside my bedroom door. It was addressed

To the top flat:


Uh oh!!

Basically we..(well, me, Mark and Tristan) are in trouble for being too noisy in our flat! The best excerpt from the letter reads as follows;

...we often hear the banjo, didgeridoo, guitars, singing, slamming doors, running up stairs and running about in the flat, screaming, music and the washing machine (that rumbles the kitchen and shakes our flat very loudly late at night when we are in bed.

Ho hum, I guess an apology is in order, although it amazes me they have waited months before saying anything!! The last time they complained is when that idiot Aaron from Cameran had a bad gig and was bashing their door with equipment and throwing heavy objects up the stairs. (He never apologised for this - wanker). That was excessive noise!! But THIS the have had a shaking flat for months and not said anything til now!! That's 3 months!!

I am scared of going to say sorry! Mummy!!!


Good Luck Tristan


Tristan had an interview today for a new job. He wore a suit!!


My Health


I've got a he-eeelllluva headache today! Not least in part due to the letter this morning and an email from the loquacious J of Journal Entry Screw you pal! (see below). It contained the word sh!t twice and conjugations of the word f*ck seven times! Wooop!
I sent him an email back. It's a nightmare - he obviously thinks I have been slating his band left right and centre and say I am trying to make things difficult for them. I don't think I am. Where are the grounds for a compromise?!


Words Used To Impress Fong/Stretch My Brain Today


compromise We all know what this means...its a pretty word though. Like an ankle bracelet!
conjugations Especially proud of this one! It means different variations on a verb like - sing, singing, sang
didgeridoo Well, my neighbours word, but still cool! And she spelt it right!!!
excerpt Posh way of saying bit
loquacious Talkative
ruminate To think over, ponder. I imagine cows ruminating!

Naked Mark!!


To thank you all - here is a picture of a cute drumming Mark to say THANK YOU!!!



Sickeningly cute!!


This is what the review says about Mark (aka Eddy Treasure - dont ask me why he is nicknamed that - it's a shit story)

"....the warm fuzz of the guitar riffs was the perfect overtone for the energetic drumming of Eddy....Eddy's drumming did not falter for a second and stuck every song together neatly. The bass and guitar came together harmoniously and made for a highly enjoyable set."

Definition of A Blog


A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.

Information

A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.

People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.

Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.


Don't expect anything I write to be objective, this is written solely from MY point of view. Observant readers will notice that this blog is entitled Welcome to The Goddess Complex as that is what I suffer from....the Goddess Complex I am afraid! I love myself unequivocally and make no apologies for any of my OWN personal points of view. You dissonants can always set up your own blog! :)
Love it when a plan comes together!


Wooop! Comments form is up and working and got my first comment too!!

It's gonna be a helluva busy week this week, lots of good things to look forward to. Mcklusy & The Parkinsons and The Poverty Jetsets supporting!!! Yeeep, and White Heat afterwards which should be full to the brim we hope!!

Sad things will include Mark back off on tour though, although he's raring to go play the drums and the band invariably delivers a far more muscular, toned boy back at the end of a prolonged bout of him hitting things too! (heeheehee!) We likey!
The Vaults are doing OK - their video has been playlisted on MTV2 and Scuzz so I hear, and that's wicked, wicked thing :)

Screw you pal!


Oh dear. The poop hits the ventilation device at some time or another.

I am no friend to people who "don't get involved" on my behalf.

A boy (lets call him 'D') sent me a text to me saying "Screw you pal". I have NO idea why D may have sent this text, other than he may have been piqued that since his band decided they did not want to work with me I won't go out of my way to do them favours. Despite this, because I had feelings for D, (he used to carry my bags, get me presents and we shared a bed a few times to the horror of his bandmates), I still wanted to help him out, and as he's such a pretty boy, he helped me out by modelling for a dear friend of mine

THE TEXT came after we had met for the first time in ages at a Cameran show, and it was lovely to see him. A little strange, but it was manageable. THE TEXT was unexpected and is still now unexplained - I did try to contact him - but he's been ignoring me. He didn't reply to my texts or pick up when I called him.

The night he sent me THE TEXT he was with J - the drummer in his band. And as J is supposed to be a buddy of mine. (Ha!!) I texted J to say "WTF?!! why did D send me that text?" I figured that they had been together and he might know what had spurred D on to this sniping missive. Hmmmm. No response.

Until tonight. J wanted to know something random about a band I rave on and on about Jarcrew and he texted me asking a question.

I replied that as he hadn't responded to my text to HIM asking why D had sent me that text, I didn't consider he could expect me to act like nothing was wrong. I know it's not his fault that D sent me a mean text, but I am sick of people who purport to be your friend, but don't put themselves on the line for you. He ignored me when I was sad and confused!! He coulda texted back anything "I dunno" or even just acknowledge I was upset. But no.

I ain't the greatest of them all. But it was my New Years Resolution to Be A Better Friend. I have really, really great, GOOD friends now, who care about what I do and say and how I feel.

Stupid little boys who trample all over my feelings are no longer my bag baby. Onwards and upwards.
