Moving On......

So, this is my last night in the convent.
I am not leaving the sisterhood, I was merely an honourary sister I suppose(cept without having to do the whole religion/chastity thang). I have been living here since last October and am getting kicked out.
Well it's not that dramatic (they need the room), but effectively i shall be homeless.
So both my esteemed chum and I are both now without abodes. Though I will get to sleep in an actually bed as apposed to a couch, which mo lady seems to have come quiet attached to (see previous blogpost!).

So nine months have gone by and boy have things changed. From bad to rock bottom to pretty damn good, the only blip being my soon to be homelessness.But i imagine it will give me a sense of freedom and set my spirit free to wander.....right?!hmmmm....do they allow people to pitch a tent in the park these days?

What a difference 9 months can make. Generally of course after 9 months many people get landed with a sprog.....lousy.
For me, the past 9 months have been spent finally achieving something that I have wanted for years now, and of course becoming myself again.

Even through poverty and homelessness my compadre seems cheery at her plight and still optimistic and loving her new city which I think is pretty damn inspirational. (Also, send me on your address you fool so I can send you some rice, dried fruit or a carrot or something).

So things have changed for the both of us in the past 9 months. Both of us have gone 9 months without getting a baby at the end, huzzah! We are both in new cities that we enjoy discovering/getting lost in (Ahem, you may never diss me about getting lost again smellyhead).

Things didnt look so rosy 9 months ago......I was a shell of my former self and my amigo was getting forced out of Canada. But we found each other again and through laughter, cinema drinking, talking about Daly beind her back, drinking, licking, drunk diarying.....did I mention drinking, we dug ourselves back up again.

And now, the next 9 months are full of opportunites and new adventures. I am starting back in college again which will make my heart whole once more and mo lady has the whole of london as her muse and will get a job that recognises her talent and rewards her handsomely for her efforts!

So here's to the next stage..........may we remain baby free, careless, maybe not homeless, wine drinking, wise, happy and not too far from each other.

It might be the champagne but...

How to explain? How to explain? Well I love my darling musings. I really do. In so many ways and for so many reasons. I love the way she has a fantastic laugh, I think we so often associate a good laugh as being hearty and long and yet a short, almost sarcastic laugh can be just as invoking... that's musings. She's just fun and funny, clever but not serious and... loves a drink but not a drunk!
As for Daly... yes we mention her and we have based this whole blog about her, if you didn't know you should... We didn't know she had a blog, as we are partial to mocking (anything) she didn't want us to know and once we found out we thought what can we do to Daly for having a secret blog and we realized we could create a blog that summarizes Daly's blog so that we created a blog that basically does what Daly's blog does but quicker...
Well anyway Daly... Daly is... hmm to explain. We are cruel to her, have an ongoing joke... actually millions of them about everything about her. But the thing is well no one else would take it and I don't mean that only she is fool enough to take it... no it's not only that she can laugh (full and hearty as it happens, like yours truly) but that Daly can make you laugh. She makes you laugh till you snort, till you cry, till you pee yourself. She has this ability to never ask you for anything and yet to always want to give her everything. She is sincere, generous, funny, genuine, caring, funny and well just Daly, what more could anyone want?
The truth is we had all these plans, all these jokes and well Daly made it, she did what none of us did, as quickly (I still have hope) but only cos she really really deserves it, she got her dream job and still works it.

Basically all this jabbering... sadness, drinking, emotional..? Or just to explain...and wait for it. I don't feel jealous, or angry or or or... I don't know..

Basically currently I hate my job, have an eye problem (the eyeball is fine just the skin around it so the doctor was like ummm here's a specialist's number), am getting over food poisoning, and have well ummm that, I don't know if ye remember (maybe I only told reflections cos I only remember her reaction) but I still have that thing on my breast that I never did anything about, never got round to going to a doctor, always thought it would go down and the doctor said (before ye get scared)) it's nothing to worry about but finally just went to the doc and well.... as ye can guess, I'm a stressed little mofo...

this has become a sob fest. All I wanted to do was say is:

I love Musings and Daly. Love them both. We've had so much fun over the years and it continues on (and long may it last). And I can't even hope to explain I am not jealous, or angry or anything like that... I just I am so happy, genuinely happy, that they're meeting up, I know how much fun they're going to have and I'm glad cos I know how much they both deserve it and have earned it. And I really do love them so much and I really can't help feeling a little self pity (that's too strong a word), but a I feel happy for them and a little sad for me that I won't be there.

So in a weird way, I guess, with no plans for this piece, I just wanted to say, have a great time. I know ye will. Fill ye're whole weekend with stories only fit for the best of the stories that we've compiled over the last few years.

I love ye both and enjoy ye're weekend, and hey, I'll be seeing Harry Potter on Friday and surely Daly will have comments on her blog about it and well then the conversation will truly begin!

Daly's challenged..........

whilst musing over dalys last blog and indeed our own blog on her blog-blog.......blog........one was inspired to take on a challange of one's own........

so recently i "acquired" two mills and boon books,"a south texas christmas" and "a colby christmas".......as well as a maeve binchy book,"the return journey"..........and a free copy of another book in cosmo called "operation sunshine".......

i also found a book i started 5 months ago(but cant get past chapter 2)"the girl with the dragon tattoo".......aswel as a diary of my travels that i kept from my first really big adventure,which im beginning to think might be more entertaining than the others........though it will probably read like a mills and boon novel anyway..........BOOM!

so can i read these books before daly has read hers?!she has reflected that the edinburgh fringe festival may interfere with the timely reading of these before the winner of the booker prize has been announced..........i'm not going to the fringe but i am going to asia....which is on the proverbial fringe of the world,if u may.......

also none of the books in my challenge are on the list of the booker prize.......though i feel that my own travel diary could make it on to the list some day.........

so there we go!
i probably should start with the book i have already started......but those mills and boon books are drawing me in,especially with a storyline about brad,who is locked in a skyscraper with a doe-eyed receptionist called elaine and FOUR MASKED MEN........*dramatic music*......

off i go on daly's challenge.......

laters.......

How it all began or : The rise of the new stars of blogging and their wonderful fb chat on a warm Summer's eve

Sadly, we lost the beginning of the conversation where we decided to create a blog, merely summarizing Daly’s blog. About how could be piss off Daly, leave stupid comments on her blog? It would be entertaining yet, we felt we were capable of so much more… we created sock tennis after all. And so in the middle of the conversation (on facebook chat) I copied and pasted what was there but the beginning, beautiful, cheeky, borderline bullying (we love her really) is lost to our memories, can’t speak for Musings but mines terrible. So in my case it is lost forever. Here is what we left of the day this blog began:

Musings also have stolen the word musing from Daly's blog!

00:01Reflections bahahhahahhaha

lets steal it all well except talking about Shrek 4 cos Hell I did not go see that movie...

00:02 Musings I think we should do a synopsis of each of her blog posts, as our blog!

As well as our own witty musings.....

00:42Reflections

You go to design in the top right corner

01:03Musings

01:04Reflections

I know I know also if we had that stuff on there ppl would click on the links and we could makes the dollahs
