"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary."_ Aaron Rose
Today's inspirational quote made me smile. A rare one too, in that it isn't telling me how wonderful it is to be a parent. My calendar, so far, has been giving me a few too many quotes about being a mother, still a few years from popping one out so they do little for me really.
After a comment yesterday about my star sign being a possible reason for lil miss manic depressive renting out a space in my mind I decided to go google. I read my horoscopes. I'm addicted. But I only read them to see what they have to say; their use of generic terms and scenarios make them easy to believe in and relate to your life but generally I just read them for a bit of a happy boost. "They often know what other people are thinking and what their next moves are going to be" - NO. "Scorpios are secretive, yet other people tend to tell them their own secrets" - NO, everyone knows what is going on in my life and thoughts, and I certainly can't keep other people's secrets... as an ex best friend discovered when she told me she might be pregnant but fell out with me a few days later. "Scorpios are usually interested in extreme sports" - NO, worlds biggest scaredy cat right here. "Brave and Cool Under Pressure" - NO, just no. "Most Scorpios are not squeamish" - NO, ha! Even nose bleeds turn my stomach. I will admit in some areas it got me right- Prone to suspicion and vengefulness, hard worker, and a need for control. But with EVERYTHING it got wrong, I have to say I'm still not a big believer in this whole star sign/horoscope thing. Not that it will stop me reading them all the time though.
After discovering yesterday that I'm back to being about as fit as a tortoise, and waking up this morning with the aching body to back up this finding, I tried out a bit of Wii Fit. Apparently I have the fitness of a 37 year old. How did it assess this though? By testing my balance!!! I am a clumsy girl, so in my opinion this is a highly unfair judgement! Yes, I fall over a lot and drop things but how does this reflect my overall fitness? If it had asked me to run for 10 minutes and I had given up after 3 then I might accept that I have such crap fitness but it didn't, it asked me to alter my balance a couple of times, and from that it judged I am unfit. Harsh! Think I will stick to basic exercise and use my sweat levels, cherry red face and recovery aches to judge my altering fitness.
So, today I went to see my long lost friend Phil. I only ever get to see him on TV nowadays, he has forgotten us little people now that he has made it to the dizzy heights of stardom with his appearance in a Confused.com commercial on tv. Yes people, that crazy boy who draws a smiley face on his hand, is my best friend... can't beat a bit of name dropping. But really, I was astonished at his level of fame from his video blogs. I was aware of the strange fanclub he has on Facebook, but the huge pile of fanmail I was not prepared for. Mainly from America and Canada. It would seem that people on that side of the Atlantic are a bit weird and deranged. I didn't even send fanmail to Westlife, and I love them!!! So to send letters, pictures, even a huge cuddly toy to some random boy on the internet freaked me out a bit. Some people need to get out a bit more! It was a nice day though, once he calmed himself down to the Phil that I know rather than the 'amazingphil' that the world appears to love.
Blonde moment of the day--
Phil "I was just sitting in here last night watching the dark (k)night"
Me "What, the dark night out there? Why?"
In my defence, it is impossible to tell them apart when the K is silent. Obvious when written down but when said out loud in a room with huge glass patio doors it is an easy mistake to make
So, another naughty day of no jobs. But I did have a check last night. And was actually shocked by one of the worst adverts I have seen so far. Lowest paid job I have seen yet but still asking for experience. And when it came to software, merely "the usual" was the specification.
