i need help
I'm going insane and I can't cope anymore, if things carry on like they are then I'm going to have a breakdown or worse
if there's someone out there who can help I'm asking for it, I need help

we want fun...
and we wanna get wasted...
T minus 27 hours and counting until the doors open and i get to see Andrew WK

actually it's a little sad how excited i'm getting about this whole thing, but hell I need something to look forward to, especially after this week but anyway!

things are good, I'm good, makes a change for me to say that, and it feels funny too...

tonight i shall be mostly eating chinese foood (and then?) and drinking "french" beer, acutally i'm not 100% it is french, but i can't remember where Kronenbourg comes from...

tomorrow i'll be mostly having fun and getting wasted!!! AWK here we come

on monday it's to the cinema we go to try and see that italian job remake thingy, you'd be welcome to come if you'd like to play gooseberry if you know what i mean!!!

take care peoples...look out for a possible gig review on monday, depending on how much I had to drink and can remember

"don't fear the reaper..." why the hell not??!!
Having just read the lovely kate's blog about having her 1-1 at work...they're call appraisals btw...i thought i'd just mention the one i had yesterday too. is it me or do all companies have their appraisals at the same time?

anyway, i'm not a fan of the whole process, although i do see it as about the only time that i get any form of decent feedback from my manager... and the feedback cam thinck and fast yesterday, especially as i put one of my objectives for the next 12 months was to actually want to go to work and enjoy my time there, probably not the best thing i could've said! i also mentioned that i thought the company was way to profit orientated, in the wrong way, cutting costs to maximise profit only works when the place is making a decent income in the first place, you've got to speculate to accumilate and all that. his biggest bit of feed back was that he thought i should "fuck off and go travelling for at least 6 months" nice to see my boss has faith in me! although he said that i'm one of the most respected members of staff there, with the most experience and knowledge and all that and that the others look up to me for advice and what they should do and think what would i do in that situation. remember big brother this year, not very memorable so I'll forgive yo if you've forgotten it already, well Cameron, that's the scottish guy who's found god and is still a virgin at 32, incited a round of WWJD, What Would Jesus Do, wrist bands amongst the crew working on BB4, especially Dermot O'Leary, anyway to cut a long story short I'm thinking of getting some WWPD, What Would Pete Do, wrist bands made up for everyone at work. Not that i'm taking the piss or anything, honest!

on the ladies front, i've sorted things so that i'm with the one that i couldn't have, we've been spending loads of time together this week, hence the distinct lack of blogs this week...sorry, but something special is happening

AWK is going ahead this weekend and drinking a-plenty will be the order of the day mmmm... beer

I'm blaming roger for the whole megatokyo thing which has got me hooked, apart from the stick man dom bits which are just crap, which has forced me to change me messenger screen name from Evil Pete to 3vil p3t3, in honour of l33t...to scary for words and dude it's so your fault!

anyway i've promised the dog that we'll watch jimmy neutron, maybe this time I'm get to watch all of it instead of sleeping through bits of it!

oh how the mighty have fallen
random title
random person
random comments
random feelings
random in general

I'm feeling as though I should be really pissed off, and I don't actually know why! Normally when I'm feeling like this its a blog that contains me bitching about work, but at the moemnt work is ok, although I expect to be moaned at today when I go into work, but I don't care anymore, I'm fed up of it and so I really couldn't give a shit today

things at the weekend were strange...The one I can have I saw on Sunday, it was ok, but she didn't help my mood, I was feeling pretty bad, I'll explain later. The one I can't have kissed me Sunday morning, thus confusing me, although she said it was nice, and I enjoyed it, I mean why wouldn't I, it's what I wanted, isn't it? It is what I wanted, I promise, but I wanted things to be less complicated at the same time. At the moment I'm acting as her boss/mate when ever we are around someone/anyone, but when we are alone, we are acting like a couple, holding hands and hugging and all that. All because she has a boyf. And I know what you're going to say, you're going to tell me that I should stick out of the way, and I'd agree with you, it's just that I can't!, thinks are really cool when I'm with her and she makes me feel so special and all that

GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

I was feeling pretty bad because I was with the wrong person, I should've been at a bbq with the one I can't have, rather than at the cinema with the one I can have....It's getting all to complicated and I so wish that it wasn't, but then I've always wanted an easy life and usually I can't get one. To top it off the cinema goer was just annoying me, not sure if that's because I wanted to be with the other or if it's because she was genuinely getting on my norks, part of me thinks it's the former, part of me hopes it's the latter.

What shoud I do next? Suggestions and answers on a postcard to the usual address...
going now to start dinner,

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
tired, so very tired
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
so tired in fact that it took me multiple attempts so get my username and password right!

pub quiz tonight

had a few beers last night, not too many, but a few, said some things to a couple of people that I probably shouldn't, but then I always do that when I am suffering from sleep deprivation mixed with alcohol...too late to worry about it now

she came to the pub and enjoyed it so that was ok, and she's coming again tonight for the quiz, at the moment it's just me and her though not that it matters

I need food

very disjointed today, apologies for that, too many earlies over the last two weeks, and more to come :(...oh well

work is going ok at the moment, but I've got so much on at the moment, it's looking like it's going to be another 50+ hours this week, although that is including the day off I've taken this week to try and get some decent sleep...oh well

I'm going to hunt some food down in a minute, not eaten anything since about 10 this morning... oh well

going to try and watch the end of jimmy neutron, but I can't remember what's going on in the story anyway so I'm going to have to watch it all again...oh well

chatted to Marc, Roger, Martin and Alison today, trying to organise many things at once is making my head fry, but it was good to talk to them...oh well

that's about it for today...oh well

"you wait for a bus for ages..."
for once the title actually has something to do with i want to say, but that doesn't mean i've started bus spotting!
it's women
and you know what i mean now
i've been single for a few months, not had sex for a few months, not really that bothered about it, but always looking to try and find someone that i like and who likes me, well just when one such person walks into my life, so does another, bloody typical!
anyway it doesn't matter because one of them has a boyfriend already and so that's casically decided it for me, i know that's the wrong way to do it, but it's been done now!
blogging off now to go to the pub with the one that i can't have!

Sunday 14 September 2003

it's been an interesting few days...
...actually it hasn't, but then again i might just be saying that, but then that's all i'm going to tell you about them ;)
you don't get anywhere in this life by giving people all the information they want straight away!
been working pretty much solidly all week this week, no day off for me this week, or next week or the week after, in fact i think my next actual full day off isn't until the 29th!!! but who cares eh? think of the £'s that i'm getting in at the moment!
I've not been up to much recently, which is a shame, went for a drink with steph on friday and had a chat about everything, she doesn't like it when i take the piss out of her for saying dumb things, which can be nearly every time she opens her mouth! went round roger's on saturday, and yes i know that's yesterday, and we played games on the gamecube, watched a film and ate chinese slowly. i'm sure i did something on thursday, but i can't remember so maybe i didn't.
been trying to work out a few things in my head, still it's all ok, most of them are sorted and ok, nothing bad is happening at the moment.
on the phone front, it's working again, and may actually have been working the whole time, but when i originally got the new handset and SIM it was still being an arse for about 24 hours, but then all of a sudden it started working again. I've asked to have my ringtones and downloads credited back to my account as it wasn't my fault that the phone died (possibly died)
i've remembered what i did on thursday evening, i moaned at O2 for not sorting my phone out and i went shopping! i knew i'd done something
anyway that's about all from me for now

Thursday 11 September 2003

well well well
stupid phone is about to be returned, new handset AND new SIM arrived today, so in a couple of hours I should be able to call people and use my phone again... but knowing my luck i still won't be having a good time with it and it won't work again, i'd even go so far as to put money on it
my AWK tickets are all gone now, so sorry if you want one of mine you can't have one now, you should've got in touch quicker
went out for chinese last night and had a really good time, thanks to Kat, sorry i got a little pensieve towards the end of the meal, hope the CD's are ok
work today was ok, got quite a bit done, all swimming lessons are up and ready to run (THANK GOD) and i actually got to do some of my other work too, miracle day!
everything else has been pretty quiet, probably in part to my phone being buggered!
anyway gots to go, need some new clothing

Wednesday 10 September 2003

just a quickie
Two points really quickly:
1) I've still got one spare ticket for Andrew WK, contact me if you want it;
2) my mobile is on the blink at the moment, should be getting a new handset and SIM courtesy of O2 sometime over the next few days which should sort out the problem, at the moment it's not letting me connect to the network and when it does, it's not letting me do anything at all with it! (if you want the AWK ticket, don't phone me for obvious reasons)

everything else is "Ok, Honest Guv"

went shopping yesterday and bought a load of stuff, which is always good, especially as most of it was in the sale, didn't get the one thing that i was thinking of getting though...because i forgot to look for it! typical of me really, might pop into reading tonight to get it there instead

anyway, take care peoples

Monday 8 September 2003

really miffed now
my computer is being an arse
my phone is being stupid too
and to top it off i've got the farts!
nice!
have pity on me
i am having a weird time and i need a break
a break from work
a break from home
a break from my life
a break from the politics of work
a break from my head and the thoughts held within
a break from the lying, cheating and back-stabbing bullshit that happens on a daily basis at work
(are you detecting a work related theme here?)
a break from my parents
a break from all these breaks

times are a changing, we live in changing times and we resist the change all the time, except now, i've come to the conclusion that no matter how much i try to change things, at work, at home, within myself, it just doesn't work unless the majority are willing to accept the differences. when you're trying to change yourself, you need to believe in the changes and have others believe in you, the fewer people who believe the harder it is.

went to the cinema last night with Kat and Steph and Matt, never met matt before, but he seemed cool so that's ok, we saw American Pie: The Wedding, funny, they use similar jokes as the other films, but why change a product that works? it's cool, steph was crying at the end, typical bird!

got a free cd in the post today from those lovely people at carlinglive.com not listened to it yet, dunno why, just haven't got round to it i guess, like some many things in life, it's getting round to them that's half the problem, doesn't look too bad though, might whap it on when i get ready for work, that's how dedicated i am, it's my day off so i'm going in anyway, i've got things to do and i need the money at the moment
eugh! work!

anyway, i'm leaving it for now,

mild concern
i'm worried that i might be getting into this dance music a little more than i expected...very different
...let's see that again!
once again the title has little or no bearing on what i've actually got to say, but it's more fun that way

went out to celebrate a work mates 18th last night, got slightly drunk, not drunk enough to feel it this morning, but drunk enough...that should make some form of sense to someone surely! it was good, i had something in the region of 12 vodkas, one other random shot, and 4 bottles of beer, all in all quite a quiet night for me...

mum is getting annoying, she's been trying to set me up with one of her work mates daughters again, i know i have trouble getting a girl, but i don't need someone else's help, least of all my mum!

work has been going ok...ish!

everything else has been pretty quiet too

...blah, blah, blah...
that's all i hear these days when someone is talking at me, people seem to have stopped talking to me and seem intent on talking at me, i'm sure you know what i mean by this, and subsequently i'm sure you know how irritating and infuriating it can be, when someone is "discussing" something with you without letting you get a word in anywhere, even when they ask for your opinion.
Stupid people
Rant #1 over! caution the implication is that there will be more rants at some point and the way i'm feeling i'd go with that

told mum and dad about my idea to go to dublin for my birthday, mum said "what on your own?" dad said "sounds like fun", how very different my parents are, so different it's comical sometimes, anyway if anyone is interested, i'm going to be looking up some prices today and see if there are any deals out there, never know if i say it's my b'day might get something special

went shopping yesterday, found a god deal in Virgin where i spent under £35 and got 3 albums, 1 dvd and 6 singles, not bad huh? and to top it off, i got my amazon order through today, increasing my imported cd's, i got 12 stones, justincase and familiar 48, it's all good.

big tunes at the moment:
pretty green eyes - ultrabeat, very not what i'd usually listen to, but i like it and i don't know why
space between - dave matthews band, why have i never really heard of this band, they are great, is it maybe because their unimaginative name doesn't relate very well to how good they actually are!
Crash - Propellerheads, it's an old tune, it was never to go into the charts and it's cool
We want fun - Andrew WK, i'm going to see him soon :D (still got spare tickets if anyone wants one)
Just the way it is - bruce hornsby, mentioned him before, it's a good tune
without you - justincase, they've got michelle branch with them on this track which is great
broken - 12 stones, look for this to be a single if they actually try and break the UK market
invisible man - theory of a deadman, i knew this track before i heard it on the album, think it's on the spiderman soundtrack, it's cool
All my friends crush you - neurotica, no idea why i've heard of these guys, or why i chose to download this track, but it's cool, heavy but not too heavy if you know what i mean

i have too much time on my hands and more money than sense, i wish there was a way to balance things out, maybe i could become a media jackass and write reviews for forthcoming albums and singles and get people to buy what i like listening to, that would be cool, although i'd probably take the piss a little and give really good reviews to bands that suck, just to see if i have the power to do so!

you guys remember the intel pentium 4 adverts? the ones with the blu men in? well those blue men have released an album and although i currently do not own said product, i have heard a few tunes from it and it's promising, absrtact and i doubt many people would like all they tunes, but they have collaborations with dave matthews and gavin rossdale, one song is even on the terminator 3 soundtrack. BTW they have the incredibly imaginative name Blue Man Group, but they do a lot of comedy stuff too which is oh so very cool

I'm at work again today and i've had enough of the bitching and back biting that goes on there, yesterday i nearly blew my top at one of the staff for complaining about something i didn't ask her to do, but she was doing it anyway, not my problem! the chief exec. came to site yesterday too, about an hour after the manager had gone home, i was there not being the DM, that's duty manager not danger mouse, but still had to tour him because the DM was busy playing chef in the kitchen, even though there was no-one to serve. And 2 minutes after he'd gone, i went around to the kitchen to find 6 members of staff leaning over the counter talking, one of the was the DM, i very nearly blew my top at the too, but it wasn't my job to, so i ignored them. The chief exec. seemed ok and he now knows my name and that i'm there and more than capable, got to be a good thing, right?
Rant #2 over, i'm not planning a third so you're ok

designed a tattoo for one of the guys i work with, he's having it for his 18th birthday, he seemed happy with it which is cool, i just need to get some better defination on it and tidy it up, looks to be about £100 worth of tattoo, my talent is wasted

right that's more than enough for today, i doubt i'll blog on for a few days now that i've got all that off my chest, but then again i'm working again today and tomorrow so there is still time for lots of things to go wrong, besides i might get some good prices for dublin and want to post them so you guys who might want to come know the score

stupid computers
it's official, i'm going insane and it's all my computers fault:
1) i'm talking to myself more than ever, this is a pretty good example of that
2) i never get any real emails, but i still check everyday
3) my typing skills are getting better, only just, but better, although this is not a bad thing, my actual writing skills are degenerating
4) I don't go out shopping, usually because i'm on here or i do my shopping on here!
5) internet dating, it's not something that i've seriouly tried, but i have seriously given it some thought, mainly because i live in "dead"cot and all the decent women don't! apologies to anyone that is decent and lives in didcot...pah! an empty and worthless apology if ever there was one
6) i've started using terminology in ordinary life, when it's not the right term anyway, example, i don't make notes anymore, i log them onto one of my various pads that are laying around
7) i'm always trying to upgrade, the bigger/better version, with more features, everyone wants more, but redhead v2.0 is getting a little stupid

anyway, i'm doing ok, i'm frustrated because i can't check my email today, there appears to be something wrong with hotmail.com or possibly msn.com, either way i can't check anything or sign in for messenger to ask anyone if they're having similar troubles, i would suggest to you guys to email me if you're suffering too, but if you can't sign in either how can you write it and how can i read it!

working some overtime this week, i want money, i need money and it appears that what my mum used to say IS true, money doesn't grow on trees...bum! so the only way i can get it is by working

i supposed i could become a male whore, a gigalo, but i'd be worried that i wouldn't last long enough to satisfy

i could become a gangland boss and have you all as my bitches, each recieveing a cut of our ill-gotten gains, a bit like being a pirate, only without the ships and sea and swords, but there's still the pillaging and plundering to be had

mmm...piracy!

i'm going now, i think i deserve a trip into oxford shopping, or at least window shopping

Tuesday 2 September 2003

I'm thinking...
...i know it's rare for me to do that, but i'm giving it a try
I'm thinking i might try and go to dublin for my birthday for a couple of nights, you're all welcome to come with me, the more the merrier as it were!
I'll be 25, so i think this year i should be celebrating with style by going away, gone are the thoughts that i could just bail out of the country to somewhere like the USA, because i know i could never afford that luxury, however flying to dublin and getting 2 nights in a hotel is something like £150, which i could definately afford
the offers there if anyone wants to come, you know how to get hold of me

weird shit
the title has nothing to do with what i've got to say for today, it's just...there, like a title should be

dunno what to say today, kinda feeling bored with everything, i've had enough of work, but thenthat's nothing new, i've got to get away from here, i've had enough of some people at the moment, no-one who'd be reading this, but there are some people out there that i swear are just here to irritate, annoy and generally just piss me off

i guess i'm just having one of those days where i just want to bitch about nothing in particular, that should make going to work this afternoon fun...i think not

i'll have a cup of that instant happiness over here if you've got any to spare, no, no cream thanks it doesn't agree with me, i'll just have my happiness served up straight, in a tall glass

bizarre

sorry about that, my mind was wondering

dinner on saturday, the jaime oliver thing that mum was doing wan't too great, but that was my opinion, it wasn't that it was bad or anything like that, it's just that i didn't like it

i'm thinking that most of this blog will be made up of gaps between (small) paragraphs and if you don't like it, complain to the management, i'll always listen

thinking of getting a new tattoo, debating on where to have it though, apart from debating on what to have of course, although i've got a few ideas on what you have done

do i go shopping, don't i go shopping, only 2 hours until i'm due at work and i'm still in my pj's and i've got dinner to cook, i so can't be assed with this anymore, if i wasn't working i'd be getting a beer about now, that would be cool. there are so many things in this life that would be cool if i could do them now, and all of them involve not having to go to work in 2 hours, although there are some that i could do and still go to work in 2 hours time, these are obviously some of the better ones, but then i have no-one to do them with... ;)

i don't go shopping


right, i'm going to put you out of your misery and go for now,
