Happy birthday amandazillah! I hope you're having a great day!

I'm all full of guilt. Due to an unfortunate accident last night a good proportion of our tropical fish were wiped out. Goodbye Jaws the silver fin shark, Corey the cat fish, clown loach 1, 2 and 3. Hex and Chloe are still missing presumed dead. The remaining clown loach #4 breaks my heart. He used to do everything with his posse, swimming around and foxing us by sleeping on their sides so we thought they'd died. Now he just sits all lonely next to the log and mourns his lost brothers.

Then I nearly burnt the house down by switching on the grill instead of the oven when cooking tea. I wondered why smoke was billowing out. I'm a danger to the world I swear. However I was amused when James came chasing after me when I went running into the kitchen as he thought I was choking, because yeah, if I was choking to death I'd make sure to go do it in the kitchen *g*

I managed to catch up on the flist too ( skip 800, ouch) and see the reunion challenge is going ahead which is great. I'll sign up for that for sure.

Now a meme as I wait for James to come home so we can go buy some food. Grocery shopping on a Saturday, kill me now.

POST 6 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY ARE, JUST POST 6 FACTS OR STATEMENTS ABOUT YOU

(1)I don't own a pair of socks and hate wearing shoes. Shoes are the devil and I'll be barefoot whenever possible, including going outside to take out the bin etc.
(2)When I was young I collected Hardy Boys books and still have hundreds of them in the spare room. I have all the original series except one which I could never find and most of the case files. I even wrote a bad h/c story for English class and used Frank and Joe as the characters. At least it wasn't a bad incest story, not that I'd ever read or think of that kind of thing of course ;)
(3)Before I can sleep I have to open the window, switch on the fan and fold my pillow in half. I need white noise and cold or I'm awake all night, the pillow thing is just a thing, I've no idea why I do it just even the idea of sleeping on a non folded pillow freaks me out.
(4)I hate sea food with a passion. Crab, lobster, cockles, so disgusting. Winkles look like snots, how can anyone eat them?
(5)I met James at a nightclub when we were dancing to the novelty song, Music Man. So if we have a song it's that, romantic right? *g*
(6)I had a major crush on Mags from A-Ha when I was a teen. Morten did nothing for me, but Mags was wonderful. My bedroom walls were covered in A-Ha posters with not an inch of wall to be seen.

There you go, aren't you glad to know that? ;)

Before I go have this meme too, late but what the heck.

1. Comment with almost any subject that you would like me to rant on, with possible swearing involved. Any subject - I don't even have to agree with it.
2. Watch my journal for your rant.
3. Post this in your own journal, so that you may rant for others.

Considering James spent the morning ranting about getting a parking ticket I feel that harnessing the ranty energy around this place would be easy, and you just know you want to see me call someone a bloody wanker ;)

Also, GIP. A lovely BSB group icon from saba1789 which is appropriate with the boys news on the flist today. Thank you again, honey.

I survived the shopping trip, came home and found I'd been asked by _bettina_ to rant about people that don't like Chris, and you know I can do that in a very concise way.

People who don't like Chris are FRELLING INSANE!

However, I shall elaborate.

See I can't understand how anyone couldn't like him. The man is gorgeous, he's sex on legs, totally hot, breath takenly beautiful and if you can't see that you're obviously not looking hard enough. It's not hard, take a moment and look at him, look at his eyes. Tell me they're not beautiful. Tell me! You can't can you, and you know why? Because they are beautiful! In fact everything about him is beautiful, his face, his hair, his pointy ears, his lips, his goatee and man, don't get me started on people that don't like the horns or his old hair cuts because you know what? Who cares if they're different to the norm? What the fuck is normal anyway?

Which is another thing, and man this is the one thing guaranteed to set me off. He's put on weight. SO FUCKING WHAT! How dare people think that's a reason to dislike him? How dare they?! I'm spluttering with rage just thinking that anyone would chose to dislike him because of that. He's not perfect, no one is perfect. If you're an Nsync fan how can you sit and say that you don't like one of the members because he's fat? For one thing HE'S NOT FAT! For fuck's sake, he's heavier now than he was back then but all that does is make him real. He's not an artificial perfect popstar groomed to an inch of his life and made to tow the bullshit pr line. When I have the misfortune to wander somewhere where some idiotic wanker says they doesn't like Chris because he's fat I want to reach through the screen grab their stupid looking teenie head and beat it off the wall. Then do it again just for the sake of it.

Then there's the people who don't like him because he's childish and goes too far sometimes. For fucks sake. Do you really think that's all he is? The 'crazy one' the joker, a one dimensional cardboard cutout. Are you that stupid that you'll judge on an image shaped by pr spin? Look past the surface for once, see the man who cares deeply, the man who doesn't spend every moment of his life laughing and playing jokes. The man who works bloody hard to do something he loves. Go on look, except I know you won't. You'll just keep believing what you're told. Reading the same lies over and over again because you're too lazy to look past the image and stupid enough to believe what you're told. Admit it, you believe the Creation Myth don't you? You can probably even do the hand movements and diagram to accompany it. Loser.

More generally, people who don't like him because he's in a boyband. Get over yourselves. Chris can sing, he can sing beautifully and if all you haters can't see beyond the boyband label I pity you. I pity you because you're so afraid of being seen as uncool that you'll never know how talented he is.You can sit there listening to your indie music or whatever crap the so called cool kids listen to these days and mock him for being in a boyband but all you're doing is showing what a sad pathetic person you are. Someone who wouldn't know an independent thought even if it hit you in the head and yelled, 'hi, I'm an independent thought.

I could go on and on, but I'll sum up with this. If you don't like Chris you're clearly insane, and he's NOT FUCKING FAT!!!!!!!

PS, non ranty. Mouse, I have the stories and will upload when I've had my shower :)
