Natalie rang me up this morning, and the first thing she said was:"You know how we love each other so much and I'm going to have your babies right?" (which is so bloody NOT going to happen!?)
I just knew she wanted something..
She went on to ask if I could cover her shift on friday. Unfortunately i couldn't..i already had stuff to do.. But it was funny anyway. Good effort!
Life is alot more funny with crazy people like Natalie.
I bought 3 vinyl records today, because I felt like it. I bought a U2 album, accidently took 2 Elton John albums, and a erm.. shit. i can't remember what.. Shirley Bassey i think.. I don't quite know why I took them 3, but i thought they probably existed in the 1980s and could be considered chic enough to play when i have guests over.
And yes, I have one of them grammophone/record player thingybobs, it came with the house, and its fucking awesome i tell you.
Went to the careers fair today, and spoke to many many many many crazy people who seem so unaffected by the whole credit crunch crap and were quite adamant on telling the whole world that they were hiring so that we would all pitch in our applications. It was surreal walking around the booths going, Do you have anything for geologists? if they say yes.. stand there and talk a moment, if they say no, reply with a haughty look, I'll help myself to your free stuff anyway.
I ended up with about 6 bags full of free pens, pads, post stick notes, brochures, leaflets, pencil sharpeners, yoyos, water bottle, and whatever crap large corporations throw at guilible students. it was well worth it!

她为何执着？
她是我在英国最要好的朋友。 最近， 发生了一连串感情纠战， 我在她的身边不断
的鼓励和支持。我亲眼目睹了她最脆弱和痛苦的时分。
两个月前，她开始和一名男友交往。 过不久， 他俩人走得越来越进， 开始以男女
友的身份坦白。我为我的好朋友觉得高兴， 她中于找到了一个对她好，和配的上她
的男友。 我欢乐无比。
我对这个新男友十分好感，我从他的言行举止判断了他的性格，从中觉得他的人品
一流。我和好友的亲友都有一样的看法。
一个星期前，他俩口发生了纠缠， 我不兴被拉近他们的纠缠。我与好友的身份给予
我想向中最好的鼓励， 权两人不必把事情闹大。
如今， 俩口没问题， 但我觉得我必须向他们站点距离，让他们俩有空间相处。
不过，我从好友的举止，能看破她的执着。

Am is bothered?
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare. - (shakespeare sonnet 130)
No, one is not bothered.
On the other side of the world, the presidential elections loom. I find it hard to understand, of a nation that prides itself above all others, first amongst all nations equal, and thinks itself better then any other country could have 39% of its citizens vote for a frightful party called the Republicans. I just don't get it.
If by any chance, McCain and Palin wins this elections, the world's pooper is going to be stuffed with pineapples. And trust me, its going to hurt.
Work today was slightly more entertaining as craig was interviewing more people for the new branch down the road.. Basically, every 20 mins or so, someone shows up waiting to be interviewed, and well, they are eventually measured up to me and carl's standards of who's hot and who's not. Strangely, we thought that craig was hiring only the interestingly good looking people, but when pressed.. craig said that if he was only hiring good looking people, carl wouldn't be here. bless.
It was abit entertaining to watch these silly people come in one at a time, looking all jittery and nervous, all for a job at a cafe. Its truly abit odd.
I remember when I first asked for a job at Costas.. all I did was saunter in and ask.. any jobs? and I got one. It was the same here in Manchester, and Plymouth.. and its weird to think that these dudes were being interviewed, or rather, interogated, just to make coffee.
On hindsight, a good team makes a hell lot of a difference. Working for minimum wage, or gently above minimum wage is less depressing when you've got supportive and lovely colleagues. Besides, the british minimum wage isn't that minimum anyway.
Right. i'm tired now, goodnight.
