Friends' Exes

Ok I'd like to hear some opinions on a fight I drunkenly stumbled into with a friend over the weekend because I think she's over-reacting. She's furious with me because she walked in on me hooking up with her ex (they have a house together, that they moved into about 7 months after they broke up which is a whole other catastrophe) despite the following facts:- I had a thing with him nearly a year...

I never thought I would defend Kristen Stewart but...

I'm about to do something I never thought I would do: defend Kristen Stewart.I have no feelings about her as a person one way or the other, I just think she needs to introduce some actual facial expressions to her acting.Other than that, I've never cared before.Now I just feel kind of sorry for her.I saw some of the footage of her from the Twilight premier, and she looked spectacular in that...

Arguably My Favourite Month Ever

When I say that I don't mean October in general, normally I don't care for it much at all. It's cold, dark, miserable and most of my clothes become obsolete. I mean the October we've just had.In one month I've seen Reckless Love, Richie Sambora, Ross Noble, Duff Mckagan's Loaded and Alice Cooper. I've also been to a make up convention and ordered my Bon Jovi tickets for next year. Now I just need...

R.I.P. Sophie Lancaster

Today marks 5 years since the death of Sophie Lancaster, a 20 year old girl who was attacked while walking home with her 21 year old boyfriend.They were both violently beaten with no provocation, so severely that some of Sophie's dreadlocks were ripped from her scalp. Probably as they jumped up and down on her head. Sophie died in hospital after 13 days in a coma and her boyfriend Robert was also...

Snog Marry Avoid

I started thinking about how much I hate that show because I'm watching an episode of 8 out of 10 Cats in which the host of Snog Marry Avoid is a panellist.The premise of the show is basically for people with extreme looks and lots of 'fakery' to have a 'make-under' to turn them in to a natural beauty while being thoroughly insulted by a computer called POD for daring to wear make up.I'm all for...

Hypocrisy and Weight

It's not uncommon for me to find mysef irritated by things. Hell I'm English, tutting and head shaking may as well be the national pastime, but tonight I'm annoyed even by my standards and while I'm aware this topic gets brought up a lot I need to vent before I can get any sleep.I spent the day working on a charity fashion show, it was a fantastic day - fashion shows, dancers, contortionists and...

Soulmates

Am I the only person who actually really hates the idea?I also can't stand the idea of having a 'one true love'.My objection to these ideas is that are that they are based on the priciple that if you didn't love someone forever then you never really loved them at all and surely that devalues any love that doesn't last. In reality how few of us really only fall in love once in our life time? Very...

"God's Plan"

"Its all part of God's plan" is a phrase I've always found irritating.I don't think it's because I'm an atheist, I mean it's probably part of it, I just don't see how it's a remotely helpful thing to say to someone who's suffering.You might as well say "God want you to be unhappy." or "God wants bad things to happen to you." because that's always when people say it, isn't it? When something bad...

Sex and Double Standards

Earlier I was watching and eisode of America's Next Top Model: British Invasion (I haven't seen the finale yet so I don't want t hear anything about it please) and they were talking about one of the contestant's (Laura) openess about her sexuality.And it really set off one of my pet peeves, and that is the double standard about sex.All this girl has done is publically admit to enjoying great sex...

Female Rockstars

What happened there?We used to have female rockstars like Joan Jett, Lita Ford and Courtney Love - women who had talent and attitude, not to mention they partied, played and fought like the guys.And they were hot doing it.Now while I'm not recommending acting like Courtney Love (because let's face it the woman is a mess) but isn't it about time we had women with balls in music again?I want to see...

Crazy Ranting and Other Nonsense

Basically, I've decided I need a place to get angry and rant about insane things that I can't guaruntee are going to make much sense.This blog will be that place.If you're wondering why I'm choosing to rant to strangers on the internet it's because I can say whatever I want with no real ramifications.And who doesn't love that?Obviously I won't always be ranting. Sometimes there will be moaning,...
