I stole these from vanessa who stole them from newageamazon who stole them from elrich who stole them from some other person....ANSWER THEM OR DIE



1. Why did you first add me as a friend?

2. What were your first thoughts?

3. What do you think now?

4. What is your favorite picture I've taken or blog I've written?

5. How would you describe me or what I post?

6. What reminds you of me?

7. If we were able to magically teleport to magical places together, what do you think would be awesome to do?

8. Maybe we could attempt to make an ice sculpture? What do you think we would make?

9. Do you believe in magic?

10. Are you happy we're friends?

I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain
Her eyes met mine and then I understood
That her weather forecast wasn't looking too good
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now

"You'll live to dance another day, it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us, so stop looking so damn depressed and sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"

Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood
She said "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet, I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette"
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell
They waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
We know we're good and done

"You'll live to dance another day, it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us, so stop looking so damn depressed and sing with all your heart that the Queen is dead"
And South London's not the same anymore
The Queen is dead, and the last of the great has finally gone to bed

Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
At times like this when I was feeling blue
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
And we headed to the City for a drink or two
And we sang

"We live to dance another day, it's just now we have to dance for one more of us, so stop looking so damn depressed, and sing with all our hearts, long live the Queen"

Every time a horror movie is released I get chills.  I listen to the hype; I watch the trailers and cross my fingers that it's only really a taster of what im going to get.  To put it succinctly, I want to be frightened by a film.  I don't really care if there's a lot of blood and gore but I want the hype to live up to the reality.  And so often it doesn't.

Obviously there are a few movies that have met my expectations;

The Blair Witch Project - I don't care what people say about this in hindsight, I was terrified at the time. 

Switchblade Romance (High Tension) - If you haven't seen this - you should.  I'm not sure how hard it is to access but you should make the effort.  I'm not going to say anything else for fear of giving away the plot

The Strangers - I'm sure you've all seen it now.  I was sceptical, big budget, American horror with Liv Tyler as the star?  But from the get go I could feel my blood pressure rising.  By the middle of the film I had convinced myself that nothing bad was going to happen but I still wanted an oxygen mask to breathe through.

Quarantine - I haven't seen the Spanish version but I thought this was a believable, well thought out shocker and I did jump out of my seat at one point

So, I cant be the only who's disappointed by the hype?  what I'm looking for are some suggestions, some recommendations for some really scary films.  It doesn't matter if they're big budget movies or European art house films - give me a mini review and let me know how good they are, also feel free to mention the films we all should ignore.

Every time a horror movie is releaed i get chills.  I listen to the hype, i watch the trailers and cross my fingers that its only really a taster of what im going to get.  To put it succinctely, I want to be frightened by a film.  I dont realy care if theres a lot of blood and gore but i want the hype to live up to the reality.  And so often it doesnt

Well hey guys, its that time of year again.  Nope, not Christmas or Easter, check your calendar - you probably weren't born on this day but there's definitely an itch you cant scratch - what's happening?  You know its important - well im here to let you know.....GERARD WAY HAS A BIRTHDAY!

As always, Buzznet are ahead of the game and we've asked you all to submit your birthday greetings to the man who has inspired us through his lyrics and given hope where there was none - and you complied.  So here are the best of the best of your birthday wishes;  You must see...

Inspired by a tag on Facebook but different.  25 random things that come into my brain while I write this, be total spontaneous:

1.  Evan Dando is on TV - god he's hot, id forgotten, should share here but no-one will know who he is.

2.  I used to buy an onion bahji every day at the health food store when I was a student.  Onion Bhajis - healthy?  I think not.

3.  People who pay for annoying ringtones should be taken out and shot.

4.  Horror movie trailers are always scarier than the actual film

5.  The 90's really did rock.

6.  I cant decide if I love the Breeders or the Pixies more

7.  There are some really interesting people on this site.  Im glad I came here and met them.

8.  I should be a better friend to Lea.

9.  Led Zeppelin actually suck.

10.  I have absolute respect for Kristyn - thats all.

11.  Im having to think about things now so I need a break...........................

12.  I cant decide who is sexier - Jack White or Caleb Followill

13.  Continetal breakfasts are the best.  Who doesnt want to eat croissants or bread and ham and cheese for breakfast?

14.  Oh god, that ringtones ad is on again - Im about to kill someone

15.  Is British comedy really funnier than anything else - or are we just pompous?

16.  Bob Dylan really couldnt sing but lyric wise - he had it down

17.  Whatever happened to Colonel Sanders?

18.  The A-Team - classic TV or absolute bullshit?

19. The sound of the sea makes me feel sick

20. Is it just me or is there something sinister about Tom Cruise?  I mean, the whole weird grooming Katie Holmes thing and then Germany not wanting him to film there - conspiracy theories anyone?

21.  How did Dave Grohl get so old?

22.  Im addicted to the Hills and now the City.  Im really too old for this.

23.  Save the world - get the girl

24.  Somerset is my favourite county, London and Sheffield are my favourite UK cities

25.  Wednesday nights are the best - and when i miss Buzznet the most

I tag:  ikkyg, helen099, choletraisnel, boz, katy, breesays and anyone else that makes me laugh

Can you guess the songs from the lyrics I post below?  Put your answers in the comment box and ill cross them out when someone gets them right.  All songs from random from my ipod.  Stolen journal from a million Buzznetters

 Free- is all that she could bleed, That’s why’ll she’ll never stay

The way you wrap those boys around your finger, Go on and play the leader

Check your handbook, It's no trick, Take the chapstick, Put it on your lips

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift

You smashed a plate over my head, Then I set fire to our bed

I only went with her cos she looks like you

And I'll give my consent, To any government, That does not deny a man a living wage

I've been short of logic so, I'm passed out on the patio, this cold and stony floor.

Woman man or modern monkey, Just another happy junkie

They mix some DNA, some skin and certain spray, you can watch it on a laser screen

I miss the catch if they throw me the ball, I'm the last chick standing up against the wall

The little man who gets the train, Got a mortgage hanging over his head, But hes too scared to complain

Well I've never seen us act like this, our only hope is the minds of kids, and they'll show us a thing or two

Well I had me a girl, but she couldn't understand, Me and my ways, and my need to be around

Ok this has turned out harder than i thought it would (apart from a couple of exceptions) so im going to be really impressed if you get all these - good luck!

 

 

                        

Conversation with my sister:

Me:  Is it wrong to have a crush on Nick Grimshaw?

Sister:  No, he's quite cute

Me:  Is he gay?

Sister:  No I dont think so

Me:  I heard him on the radio the other day, he was talking about walking on the beach with someone in Italy so he must have a girlfriend......................................

                                             REALITY CHECK!!!!!

 

 

 

I was tagged by the lovely Helen and so Im going to do it - at the risk of being ridiculed from here to the end of time here are my top 5 guilty music pleasures:

1.  Dizzee Rascal

He's English and he does hip hop.  Sounds bad doesnt it?   But actually,despite me not liking hip hop in the first place and on top of that knowing how crap it can sound in an english accent, he's actually quite good.  Click here for initial awesomeness and here to hear his very own take on Tng Tings  Thats Not My Name.

2.  Neil Diamond

I dont care if he's getting on a bit - or if he's seen as kind of cheesy - the man is a songwriting legend.  And if my little one line tribute hasnt done enough for me to convince you to download some of his stuff listen to this and realise its really the best song ever to wave your hands in the air and sing along to.

3.  Scissor Sisters

Okay, i know some people would rather die than admit to being a fan of this bunch of eccentrics but im not one of them.  I dont care about those banners held high at gigs proclaiming 'you destroyed Pink Floyd', if you ask me they are the best thing that happened to Comfortably Numb, judge for yourself - Id be interested to know what you think.... Sisterhood go here  for the boring old Floyd version click here. 

4.  Neil Young

Well he was a hippie and a junkie and he has a voice that's pitched so high that only dogs can hear him - but he is capable of indescribable genius.  If you dont believe me click here to fall in love.

And finally, the guiltiest pleasure of all and Im only going to admit to one song of his because its really all i like and only then because you can turn it up loud in your car on a hot sunny day then drive so fast that noone can see your face and who's actually playing the track:

5.  Summer of'69 by Bryan Adams

Im not including a picture or really any explanation of why.  I just do like this song.  I truly am ashamed to admit it but there you go.  If you havent heard it and want to - go here.  Ooo apparantey im not the only one who likes this - there are many audience members singing along (whilst wearing plaid and stonewash denim).

Before I get into anymore trouble, im off.  But i tg anyone who wants to join in - let me know if you've done it - im intruiged to read yours!

If I ever give in to the full on flashing adverts above the banner on my page and buy a pair of Nike Shox then buy a ticket to see Never Forget - Take That the musical, someone please shoot me.  I will have outlived my usefulness. 

Also, does anyone really care whether or not Callum Best can keep it in his pants for 50 days?  As long as he doesnt dangle it anywhere near me - im good. 

Thank you and goodnight x

So summertime rolls around again and with it the start of the festival season here in the UK.  The first big festival of the year (yes I’m refusing to count the Isle of Wight) kicks off on Friday, on a farm in the little village of Pilton, near Glastonbury.

 

For anyone who doesn’t know, Glastonbury is the festival to go to, despite the rain, the over priced food and the ebbing away of the hippy ethos of the original gathering.

                             

Its also the hardest to get tickets for.  Im not even joking when I say that you have to provide a passport photo, register your details and then spend hours hitting redial on your phone or refresh on your browser on the day the tickets are released in order to get your grubby little mitts on one before they sell out in the first two hours. 

 

This year Im one of the unlucky ones.  Im ticketless and destined to spend the coming weekend watching on the TV at home and not in a field in Somerset.  But will I get down about it?  NO WAY!  Instead I have devised a guide to having the full festival experience without actually being there.  Read on………

 

1.         Pack your stuff:  If youre sensible youll take time over this, consider what you might need and plan for all weather conditions.  If youre me youll take two pairs of jeans, two tshirts and some new trainers.  Then complain when its cold, wet and muddy and you realise you cant get your hands on a pair of wellies for love nor money.

 

2.         Arrive at site (back garden).  Here, employ your imagination and pretend it has taken hours for you to travel, your car has broken down and you’ve been hopelessly lost due to mad one way system through a bunch of windy country lanes, set up by festival organisers who are quite clearly on acid. 

 

3.         Erect tent.  It is essential to wait until after dark to do this for reasons explained above.  You are not permitted to use any garden lighting and you may not turn lights on in your house.  Realise when you take the tent from its bag that you put it away wet last time you used it and it smells quite a lot of mold.  Put your tent poles on the ground, lose some, mix the rest up and resolve to make the best out of what you have.  You should end up with a lopsided construction which you will promise to put together properly in daylight (of course this will never happen).

                               

4.         Day one – wander down to the mainstage ( go into your living room and manipulate the position of the TV until you can see it from your position in the garden, open window, turn up sound).  Drink copious amounts of very cheap beer and fall asleep in the sun.  Wake up several hours later with hideous sunburn and an urgent need to use the toilet, dun, dun dun!!!!

            For authentic festival toilets, take bucket, place in shed, omit toilet paper.  It is recommended that torch be used for illumination of toilet at night in order to check that a) its been emptied recently and b) there isn’t a dead person in there.

                                         

5.         Day two – wake up to realise its been bucketing down all night (to achieve this effect, set up garden hoses and sprinklers before bedtime and leave on for duration).  Realise that you maybe shouldn’t have been so smug that your tent only cost £7.50.  Genuine wet tent experience requires at least an inch of water on the inside, covering all bedding and clothes.

            Search rucksack for wet weather clothing and wellies.  Become disappointed.  Abandon new trainers in 6 inches of mud and come to terms with liberating feeling of mud between your toes.  Drink much more cheap beer and pass out in a non specific puddle inside your tent.

                                      

n.b  It is forbidden for you to cheat, go into your house and extract clean, dry clothing, or anything else at all,  at any point during this ultimate festival experience.

 

7.         Day three – wake up feeling disoriented.  Exit tent to realise there has been a mudslide and you are currently pitched in a small stream at the bottom of the hill you were once on top of (achieve this by paying parents/children/friends to come by in the night while you are asleep and move you surreptitiously).   Make your way to mainstage (TV) and spend day trying to lift spirits in the face of more rain with the aid of more alcohol and song.  Fail.  Accept the fact that you don’t have it in you to spend even one more minute in your ill equipped hell, cry because you haven’t had a shower for three days and decide to return home even though your going to miss the best bands and everything you really wanted to see because theyre all on in the evening of the third day. 

8.         Arrive home (you may now enter your house). 

 

Voila!  Have fun.

Ive joined the 30 Book Challenge group and below is a list of books ive completed.  So far its only 1 but i will update as I go along, because I havent planned what Im going to read.

1.  Southern Nights by Barry Gifford - a collection of three novels set in America's deep south. 

2.  Echo Burning by Lee Child - a mystery story set in Texas, to be honest its pap but please dont judge, sometimes i like an easy read.

3.  Brooklyn Noir - a collection of short stories written by authors from or who live in Brooklyn.  I bought it because id already read the San Francisco version, which to be honest i enjoyed more, the writing was more varied.  But still a good book and i will probably look up some of the authors and try out thier novels

 

I was tagged by liveandlove

1.  Im Sticking With You - The Velvet Underground and Nico

2.  Mollys Chambers - Kings of Leon

3.  Im Not Okay - My Chemical Romance

4.  Cassius - The Foals

5.  Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix

 

Its no secret that I first came across Buzznet whilst trying to feed my out of control Gerard Way addiction.  I trawled the site for pictures of him, visited the forums to try to catch the latest rumours and indulged my masochistic tendancies by secretly looking at pictures of his alleged girlfriends.  I was seriously in line for the title of world's oldest fangirl :)

I was loyal, I stuck with my obsession through all the ups and downs, the release of a concept album (boys - what were you thinking?), the is he/isnt he engaged/married to her or her or her edrama - Im not one who likes to give up.  Some might say Im hard to get rid of.

But then - the inevitable happened.  Mr Way appeared to develop an ego.  Some will say that this is a natural part of rock star evolution and that it happens to everyone in his position.  Thats fine.  But for me, there is nothing more offputting.  So my obsession slowly began to wane and before I know it, Im only looking at photographs occasionally and I dont visit the forums anymore.

I felt lost - like a boat that comes loose from its moorings - i drifted.  I felt as if my life had no purpose.  But then, three weeks ago, i turned on my TV set at 9.00pm on Friday night and TAH DAH!

                                                                  

God gave me Seth!

Now I get to start a whole new obsession whilst never completely giving up on my old one:

              


   TWINNIES!

And to top it all off, he likes gingers, he does, he even married one

                                                             

Imagine where my brain is taking this ............. Massive fangirly head explosion - Im happy again!

 

                                    

Im about to find out. 

Im going to have very limited internet access over the next few days.  By limited I mean only at work.  I could make excuses but the fact is that i didnt pay my bill because im very bad and have the brain of a 5 year old. 

Every now and again I will wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and find that I cant switch on a light because the power has been cut off.   Or I put my washing machine on only to hear it fill with air because I forgot to pay the water bill.

Dont feel sorry for me, its not that I dont have the money its just that I forget.  Im not very good at being a grown up.

Anyway, tomorrow and Friday I will have access between 1pm and 5pm GMT  and then at the weekend - nothing, yes thats right - NOTHING.

And I didnt even want to go on a break.  My mind wasnt fizzled by the Buzz, I wasnt sick of looking through everyone else's stuff and Id had a good long chat with myself and decided not to put myself under any pressure to post - so all was good. 

So unless I run into you over the short periods that Im here over the next two days - I'll see you Monday - at some point :)

All about me - that's right, ME! Questionaire

OK, Im setting anyone that reads this a challenge.

There are two of us.  We want to find interesting places to visit.  We love the United States but would actually go anywhere.  Neither of us want to visit museums, gardens, castles etc.  We dont mind staying in crumbly hotels with cigarette burns on the bedclothes or having an all inclusive breakfast that consists of a bagel and individual portion of cream cheese.  We loved Berlin and stayed at least a 30 minute ride from the centre and managed to get around despite my very limited German (Potsdam rocked!!)  Great public transport is a must. 

So, we're going away in April, have about £800/$1500 to spend - flights and hotel have to be included in this. Dont send us to a beach, dont send us to a dodgy area that we will get killed in but we dont mind edgy (by that i mean a bit rough but please no gangs and guns).  Travel guides are useless - they tell you not to go anywhere, but you know we can do it.

Leave all suggestions in the comment box, there is no prize for the best suggestion but i will be wishing sparkly unicorns on all of you and the person whose suggestion we pick will be showered with mega lots of pictures and never ending thanks.

 

Something made me smile today:

 

 

My Flickr page is teaching me lolcat!

Ive had a crappy week.  Ive had some sort of horrendous tummy bug or ive poisoned myself by forgetting to clean that rancid bit of cucumber thats been there three years out of the back of my fridge or something. 

I like to eat and I like to drink and I hate not being able to do either because I cant keep anything except water down.  My teeth hurt also and Im sure that the copius amounts of painkillers ive been consuming arent doing anything to ease my stomach cramps.  Bleurgh.

Ive been a bad buzzfriend because Ive been posting and not commenting, forgetting to answer messages and just generally being sucked down into a world of self pity and absorption, which i almost - yes almost - drowned in.

Lucky for me I have a 13 year old daughter with a great big heart and a way of cheering me up I'd die without.  It's Mother's Day here, she's been out with her Dad and just dropped a card in for me.  It looks like this:

Oh yes it does.  And it really is Irish easy listening star Daniel O'Donnell.  For those of you who dont know who he is - imagine David Hasselhoff with an irish brogue singing about green valleys and things.  And here's what happens when I open the card:

Another picture of him yes, but to cap it all off - he speaks!  He's there wishing me a Happy Mothers Day and telling me to take care of myself.  Hahahahahahaha!  Its sooo bad its good.

So now, despite the fact that my son forgot to get me a card at all, that ive had harsh words with members of my family and that I have cried so hard all day even though im not sure why, im smiling now.

I promise to catch up with everyone next week.  Thank you to anyone thats looked at, commented and buzzed my posts, left me notes or little personal messages, sometimes its the small things that keep you going.

*Mwah*

Ooh, almost forgot, Shannon's put together what looks like an awesome mixtape so Im off to download it and sing myself happy!
