About Me

"No one is going to ruin me. If I have to, I will ruin myself."

Often declaring myself to be a goddess, whether of rock or of alcohol (the two go hand in hand, as proven by many a-night singing into the early hours with a pile of empties nearby). I'm a morbid wee soul at times, though just try and stop me from dragging poor folk to karaokes or donning my pirate hat (or bunny ears... dear god) and co-ordinating midnight playpark invasions with a flatmate or two :P

My music taste is a bit varied, as it should be with everyone, but ROCK dominates, oh yeah. Fakes and wannabes (bands and worshippers alike) try too hard and should be pitied/rehabilitated.
I have 4 tattoos (see the crappy pic for yourself) and adore original custom ones. Please note the word original, none of this 'ooh that one on the wall that about 50 other people in the city have got looks rather fetching' shite. Which leads me to...

STAR TATTOOS. Has everybody with the slightest poseur/emo inclination got a black star forever branded on their body? Does it have a special meaning to you or did you just get it coz you think it looks cool?
Yes, I have one on my back. But surrounded by flames.
Ha! I BURN YOU!

While on the subject of poseur-types, or attention seeking wee hoors in general, I feel it is important to reiterate that they should be pitied for their sheer and utter desperation for praise. Why desperate, you say? Why brand them as hoors?
How else are you going to refer to people who...

+ routinely kiss their own gender so the opposite sex will think it's 'hawt'
I'd say that was whoring your body, yes?

+ post numerous photos of themselves half naked or in their underwear so everyone within 5 feet of a modem will tell them they're 'hawt'
I'd say that was whoring your body too, don't you agree?

+ are so stupid that they fall for the manipulative attention-seeking and unimaginative tactics that they themselves use
I'd say that was more moronic and desperate than hoor-ish, but the sentiment remains.

Does what was described above sound like you and you're not happy about it?

Tough shit, "YOU GOT NOTHIN' ON ME"

"Tennent's Light? It's 3.1%, it's children's booze!!"
- me to a customer

Things which aren't just for the underagers :
Hallowe'en... Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles... Johnny Bravo... Powerpuff Girls... Harry Potter... Dexter's Laboratory... Tales of Billy & Mandy... Double Dips... playparks... building forts... pirates... fancy dress... glitter crayons... homemade cards... Bob the Builder tinned pasta shapes... toast soldiers... kinder eggs... Scooby Doo tshirts... novelty birthday cakes... Pick 'n' Mix... I'll think of more later.

I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.

~*~

I often acquire bruises which either cannot be explained or are the results of drunken antics.
I expect nothing but truth and loyalty from those around me.
I am notorious for holding grudges.

I'm horrendously dirty minded. And part Irish, which I believe renders me uber cool. :P

The best advice I could ever give to a friend is never let the same person hurt you twice.

The best advice I could ever give to an enemy?
Don't betray a person who bleeds but won't die.

today's lesson: it's all fun and games until someone gets a hangover

PRAY FOR ROCK
