I wrote something a while ago, during my exams, on how we create a life for characters in a book but I lost it. I was really impressed with it so I tried to rewrite it and it sounds shit -_-

Oh well. I'll work on it.

I feel like I'm stuck in Groundhog Day >_

It's been SO long since I've read a book! I got The Picture of Dorian Gray for Christmas and IT. WAS. SO. GOOD! I want to read it again now but I have other books to read hehehe.

I've got a really vivid imagination when it comes to reading so I imagine characters as actual people. In this book Lord Henry was Harry Judd, Dorian was Dougie and Basil was Tom. It's great because Harry Henry is blatantly attracted to Dougie. I didn't even MEAN to make the Pudd...it just happened.

That's as good as when I read my zombie book and there was a bit of Fludd going on...whoopsie :D
And my other book (The Langoliers by Stephen King) had a huge cast with characters ranging from Coronation Street, Love Actually, Friends, War of the Worlds, CSI and real life! People just get plucked out and given a part to play.

I also managed to convince myself that some of the ideas of Moulin Rouge was taken from the first chapter of Birdsong :D

Oddly enough, I never end up in a book myself.

( Books I have that I really should read... )

Background info: Claire is currently pregnant. Adrian lives in Dubai.

Auntie Libby: So why are you only having two babies?
Philip: Because I intend to cut off my own testicles with a butter knife after this one

Adrian: I still think Luke would be the best name
Philip: 'LUKE! I AM YOUR FATHER!' 'Dad would you SHUT UP!'

AL: I like the name James...
Philip: James Mawdsley
Pause
Claire: Didn't he kill his parents?
Philip: I...I can't remember
Argument ensues
AL Phone Martin (this is about 11pm by the way!)
Philip: What a weird phone call that would be!
Adrian: "What Mawdsley killed his parents?"
Philip: "It was ME!"

Adrian: It's mental out there. There is fog where you can't even see 8ft infront of you and people drive to work at 120kpm. They're like "Ahhhh it's foggy *put into 5th gear* I could be in work really quick at this rate!"

Adrian: Jan (his girlfriend) is a horrendous driver! It's untrue!
Philip: "Jan, you *can* see the big blue tru-" (makes crash noise)
AL: What was this?
Adrian: We were in the car reversing round a corner and there was this truck that she just Didn't see and hit it
Philip: It wasn't just a truck. It was the Mother of all trucks!
Adrian: Like a monster truck
Philip: And what colour was it?
Adrian: *sigh* Bright blue.

Ben: *random baby noises*
Me: I reckon, to him, he's making perfect sense. And when he looks up at you with questioning eyes he must think "Why the HELL aren't you getting what I'm saying!?"
Laura: He's actually saying "The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides"
Me: "Oh my goodness, they're all grinning at me again in anticipation...why must I always be their entertainment monkey! *sigh* (in a baby voice) Trwactor!"

Mum: *points to me* That's Vicky. Can you say Vicky?
Ben: Icky!
Me: Fantastic. Insulted even by the younger of the male species!
Ben: *frown* IGGY!
Me: I'll live with that *grin*

YAYAYAY THOUGH! BEN KNOWS MY NAME! Before I left (I'm back home now) I went "Bye!" to everyone in general and I just heard this little voice go "Bye Iggy!" without anyone saying 'say goodbye to Vicky'.

Och, these past few days have knackered me out though. I had to take a break while I was getting DRESSED! And I can't even clean my room because I just don't have the energy. All my muscles are just crying and I think I'm coming down with something again. Hopefully not though!

( PHOTOS! LOTS! )

I miss talking to people on the phone.

And I don't feel Christmassy in the slightest.

And I've been staring at this bloody pepper for 20 minutes and it's not helping me draw it...



I hate peppers -_-

Argh I HATE this. I have 4 sketchbooks infront of me and I can't think of a fucking thing to do in them!

And my whole body hurts. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY!

*sulk*

There was about 5 people there and that was it so I got to talk to him a bit ^___^ AND he signed my programme but that's in the car.

( Picspam and Blackburn Weekend! )

I had the weirdest dream last night! It's long so I'm gonna make me a coffee first :D

Right it started at a train station and I was with my Dad and people were grouping in different areas of the platform and I saw Harry from OAF. I pretty much ran up to him and hugged him saying I hadn't seen him in ages (and he seemed to remember who I was because he was happy too...) and we got on this train which turned out to be a spooky halloween train.

It kept banging and doing all this scary stuff so I said to my Dad that I should probably get off because it's making my chest hurt and my Dad agreed but then it pulled away. I just buried myself into Harry's arm and it was all sweet and cute (while being pathetically scary).

So then the next thing I know, I'm at my Auntie Libby's old house in her back garden with loads of people (from what I can remember: Mum, Dad, A.Libby, U.Bobby, A.Jackie, U.Alan, Jenny, Adrian, Eric, Carol, Jim and Harry...I don't know why Harry was there).

Me and Harry were having this conversation and I kept thinking about how attractive I found him even though some people might not have thought so and then he buggered off to get a drink...and things started to go downhill.

Eric came in with this big double-decker bus and tried to do a U-turn but it sorta went a big pair-shaped and for some reason this made me really, really miserable. I went inside to mope around (sorta hoping Harry might come and find me and we could talk some more but he just stayed outside).

I went outside to get a drink (Harry had now turned into James from college for some reason) and I had Bailey's with strawberry sauce and we laughed about it and then I went and sulked inside some more. Then something really seriously upset me so I decided I needed another drink but when I got there I yelled at Harry "You know what?! I can't drink these anymore because the strawberry taste reminds me of YOU and what you did!"

Back inside I stormed. My Dad followed and asked what was wrong and I said I was unhappy. I found out I lived in Australia and that's where I was doing my Foundation course but I didn't want to go back. Mum went mad said if I didn't want to go back then I had to stay with A.Jackie and not her. I said I'd get my own place.

I moped around again and got another Baileys, this time I had just a plain one with biscuit crumbled on the top. That was that party over.

So then next thing I'm being shown round a house by this woman and she was like "You know how floor usually feel quite hard? Well this is more...lumpy...it's fiiiiine just...lacking a few floorboards..."

I went round to see a neighbour and asked her how she was and she vented on me saying she was pregnant and her flat was tiny and she got all annoyed. So I showed her round my house and said we should swap because I only needed a small place and she needed a bigger one because she was about to have a child.

Then I woke up.

TDL:
-Art (MUST DO LOADS TODAY)
-Restart my food blog because I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ON IT IN AGES!
-(I'd like to) Remove the wheels from my bed

Ok, a very quick update on why I haven't been here in quite a few days. I'm only home for a second to pick up more stuff.

Basically I went into A+E on Friday cause I was going really dizzy and got tingling down my arm (and this isn't the first time it's happened...remember London? And going out with Brian?)

So I got there and they thought it was an irregular heart beat so I got a 24 hour heart monitor on. That showed nothing. I had bloods taken. They showed nothing.

They've gone through every possibility from irregular heart beat to migranes to my absess being back again.

And this morning my new bloods show that I'm low in iron so that could be the problem. But I actually eat alot of iron (not through red meat though) and I'm not that low in iron. So it could just be a contributing factor.

I'm deffinitely in till Monday anyway. Fan-bloody-tastic. They want another heart monitor on in the meantime.

I just wish the palputations would go away. It's like a massive big thump and then it skips a beat. I don't know if it can skip a few beats, but it feels like it. Maybe it's just going really slow...either way it's scaring the crap out of me.
