About Me

.. CLICK HERE TO GET A NEW LAYOUT


Geez, what can I say. I'm married with 3 children aged between 19 - 13, two boys and a girl. I love music, computers, chatting to my friends, writing and chilling in bed on a cold winters night when the winds howling outside (although company while your 'cuddling up' makes it even more interesting).
Musical tastes range from Rock, Punk, Emo, Metal, Thrash Metal, Pop, some Country Music etc etc etc.
I used to sew/design but no longer, thanks to a lovely elbow fracture (techincal description: Capitellum of the Humerus with Comminuted Fracture of the Lateral Distal Condule - yup, I broke the Humerus just to be different)in May 2004 which, 18 months on, is still being treated by the hospital and is awaiting more surgery. Bloody thing.
*edit* 2006 follow up surgery, physio and no change. Finally chucked out of fracture clinic. YAY!
I have quite an eye for detail - and used to do the occasional jigsaw puzzle (yeah, lame I know) - now prefer to do written puzzles like logic puzzles and Soduko...or at least I do when I can kick my brain into gear. Have started making my own jewellery from silver and gem beads (hematite, carnelian, etc) - my latest hobby/passion. Also love writing - and have spent many an hour infront of the computer/sitting with a notebook (& pen - kind of useful if you actually want to WRITE anything).
Have put myself through several evening college courses over the past 4 or 5 years and now hold RSA III qualification in typing, word processing, databases, spreadsheets etc.
My personality? Complex I think sums me up best. Yep - complex. Can be hyper one minute and really low the next. Take things to heart but won't let people see they have upset me. Umm, am usually there to see my friends through their crisis, then, if it affects me, will deal with it in on my own once I know they are okay.
Quiet most of the time, will usually listen and speak when asked...unless there's a drink or two on board of course...not that I drink a lot (honestly).
Trendy? No...but not out of date either. Fav clothes, long black skirts (or occasionally jeans) and black sleeveless vests (well, no point having the tattoos if you're going to cover them up);Hematite jewellery (made by moi - my latest hobby).
I think if I was a teenager today I'd probably be labelled (and I hate sodding labels) as a goth/punk, mainly because cos I value individuality and hate 'going with the crowd'. Also can't understand why everyone has to be pigeon holed...can't we just be ourselves without being stuck into some kind of bloody category?
Question:- Is this who I would have been as a teenager if I hadn't kind of missed all my teenage years thanks to my darling dad? Answer:- Probably, because it feels...right.
I recently got my first two tattoos at the age of 42. One on the top of each arm which are celtic and tribal in origin. Somehow I don't think they'll be my last. Have also now pierced my ears 7 times using a hollow needle and bellbars (3 in each lobe, one in the top of the ear). I refuse to be labelled as middle aged. I am me. I've spent too much time - painful time - over the past few years finding who I would have been if I hadn't been screwed (literally) as a kid. So if you don't like me, sod off.

This is kind of strong - but I sure as hell felt better after writing it
I Hate…

I hate you for not stopping the bullies when they would punch & kick me, or push me down the stairs.
I hate you for saying it was my fault when I developed an eating disorder at 13.
I hate you for saying you’d kick me out and have me adopted if I didn’t stop acting that way.
I hate you for telling me I was to blame for my counsellor saying it was your fault I was ill.
I hate you for the way I couldn't say why I was ill – because I had to keep the family together – not you.

REGRETS
Happy childhood memories
Carefree, fun filled childhood days
Stolen, taken away from me
Lost because YOU had to ‘play’
My life since then has been on hold
I’ve lived it all, a lie
I look back now and am amazed
Amazed I’ve even tried
No tears to cry, can’t bring it back
The time you took from me
I grew up suddenly, over night
And lost the real me
My confidence can’t escape its jail
My spark forever? Gone
My energy’s nonexistent
All taken by THAT wrong
I bluff my way through, day to day
Too scared to let them see
Afraid to open up in case they find
The sad and lonely, inner me
Who Am I? I ask my self
Each & Every day
Will I like the ‘real’ me more
Than the person I am today?
The person sitting here in the cold
Trying hard to accept their lot
Daughter, sister, wife & mother
I SHOULD BE HAPPY with my lot
I see my kids all growing
Happy, confident & proud
Where was my time to be like that?
I want to scream the words out loud
My time to laugh, to run & play
To explore and time to grow
The things I knew when I was 9
No 9 year old should know
That’s why I’m sitting here at 4am
Writing verse & drinking tea
I’m trying hard to find some one
To find the real me
WHOEVER SHE IS
A STATE OF MIND
Head Spinning
Skin Burning
Blood Rushing
Stomach Churning
Lungs Gasping
Body Shaking
Arms Hugging
Hands Clinging
Heart Pounding
Breath Hitching
Chest Tightning
Eyes Closing
Tears Flowing
Sobs Breaking
Teeth Biting
Lips Bleeding
Sweat Drenching
Nerves Cracking,
Senses Fleeing
Tension Coiling
Loneliness Stifling
Silence Drowning
Reality Blurring
Pain Surrounding
Panic.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Too many people to fit in here - but a few are...

  • Mike Dirnt (it's all in the eyes baby), Billie Joe & Tre - aka GD
  • Dave Pelham - cos his books on how he overcame his childhood abuse were a real help to me when I was trying to work through my own childhood shit
  • George Bush - so I can ask him his secret, how come someone so INEPT can get himself elected president of the US (see how polite I was in my wording?) + how come he seems to think the US should be exempt from trying to save resources/find green alternatives.
  • Tony Blair - so he can explain just how a LABOUR prime minister is now more CONSERVATIVE than the god damn Conservative party. Joel & Benji Madden (+ Billy & Paul)
  • Rick Parfitt & Francis Rossi (Status Quo) - the first band I saw live when I was 17. Oh god, how many years ago was that? *Takes off shoes so she can count* What comes after 20?
  • Velvet Revolver
  • Anyone who wants to take the time to talk to me - and to be civil...
  • Finally, too many other people to list.
  • My Blog
