Only one...

You know, only one person would wake me up at 1:30 in the morning with the sweet question

"Would you like a scone?"

and THAT's just another reason why they're so very special

Why I LOVE Cape Town

Yes, the country is in a little bit of turmoil again.
Yes, people are panicking and yes, there is faith being lost in the market. blah blah blah

But there are great people around staying positive!
Seeing change as an opportunity and a good thing and expressing themselves left and right!

Whoever made this poster, KUDOS to you! It got me to let out a BIG smile



Also on this note let me "Helen love" again for a while...
Only you could make a comment like you did on Morning Live today, on the dawn of our new president being announced!

For those who missed it...
When asked whether she had lost any faith in SA Politics her reply went something along the lines of this:
(don't quote me as i can't find the clip anywhere and am going on personal memory)

No i haven't. There's a saying that if you like sausage, you should never see how it's made. That's where we are in SA at this time... we're still making sausage...

wow i laughed! Great analogy for the day after Braai Day...

WE NEED MORE HELEN'S!

Why I LOVE Lucy

I think I would do almost anything for Lucy!

I would have helped her for nothing in return this morning but then suddenly *ding*
Who's at the door?
Flowers for me?!

And they're beautiful! And I appreciate her! And that's what makes Lucy one of the greatest people I know...

*hug*

thank you Luce!


See? so preeeeeeety!

Happy Extraordinary Huge Hadron Collider Day!

Yay!

Yes i know I'm a nerd but i've been quite excited about this for a bit of a long time now and this morning is it!

9.30

Possibly the moment we arrive a step closer to unlocking some amazing doors! Possibly a step closer to proving some brilliantly imaginative people right!
er... and only very slightly possibly proving some scarily cinical people right too :P

(nah! it'll only be a tiny rip! black hole?? pfft! honestly! some negative stuff flying around out there... heh ;)

little cutie-pie!!

Aw man! i don't often fall in love with dogs n puppies on first site...
and yes i know this may make me a possibly eeeevil person or some such thing

BUT this kid was just killing me on the spot!
what an adorable, precious little fluffy thing! He has that circle around both of his eyes and looks as tho he'd been the victim of a binocular and shoe-polish trick.

I was literally about 5 seconds away from breaking my bank and bringing home a new family member when the petstore counter-teen came along to pick him up and hand him over to his new owner *sigh*

Ah well
My cat would probably have never forgiven me anyway :)
x love you always little Prank.

The Lagdolls!

Or at least I'm pretty sure that's what the lead singer said their name was? Earlier i could have sworn she said the Ragdolls but corrected herself later towards the end of the set!

But WHAT an awesome performance we saw last night!
Not as BEE as the last band i watched at Mercury but still open minded and working in the new SA spirit!
"Everyone's going down on me" is brilliantly belted out and undiscriminating!
Who was she talking about?! I dunno but it sounded good and she seemed pretty OK with it? kinda?

The majority of the fan-base appear to be women!
I'm just going to say it...
it's obvious!

The bassist and the guitarist... Good looking fellows so it's really now wonder? Am i wrong?

Also confirmation that the bassist does indeed have a medium firmness to his bottom was established. He seemed shocked.

8 People Who Will Ruin Your Party

Via HolyTaco.com.
and passed on by Laura

(only edited this sliiightly *grin*)

I'm pretty sure I've met one or two (or more) of these characters at flat parties hey guys? aaaah memories :P



8. Person Who Insists On Cleaning Up Your Party While It's Still Going On



WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM: Right in front of you, asking if your drink is finished. Or, methodically moving through the party with a white trash bag and a look on their face as if they've been hunting Osama Bin laden for the last 6 years and have narrowed down his whereabouts to somewhere in this party.

WHY THEY WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: Drinking a beer, is far less enjoyable when someone is asking you if you're finished every five minutes. It's great that they want to help you clean up, but if you've decided to have a party, you've already resigned yourself to the fact that when it's over, your house is going to probably look like the bathroom that Cary Elwes and Danny Glover woke up in, in the first Saw movie. It's believed these people also decide to wipe their bottoms in the middle of toilet trips, just to "cut down on the work that has to be done when it's all over!"



7. Guy Who Gets Wasted In The First Hour



WHERE YOU WILL FIND HIM: "Right by the fridge, bro, cause that's where all the beer is!"

HOW HE WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: From the moment this guy shows up, everything he says has an exclamation point at the end of it. "This party rules, dude!" "I am ready to party TO-night!" "Let's shotgun these, bro!" "Tits!" Then, one hour and 13 beers later he's incoherent, weaving on his feet and saying stuff like "Paartyyyygjlskdvm…" So, instead of kicking back and hanging out with your friends, you have to spend the rest of the night making sure he doesn't puke on your couch, pee in your plants or drool on your coffee table.


6. Person Who Only Knows You



WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM: About two feet to the right of you, standing silently, staring at either you or the person you're talking to.

WHY THEY WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: You invited them because during the four and a half minutes a day you talk to them at work, they seem pretty cool. Except as soon as they get to your party, they tense up like Alex Rodriguez's ass during a game in October. You have two options at this point, 1) entertain them and include them in every conversation you have the entire night, like they're your wife or husband even though you probably don't know their last name, or 2) leave them on their own which leads to them standing in a corner by themselves, staring at you, causing your friends to ask you "Um... I think that guy in the corner is planning on killing you."



5. Crying Girl



WHERE YOU WILL FIND HER: She's usually holed up in the bathroom (taking up valuable toilet space) with three of her bestest girlfriends—all three of whom are overweight.

HOW SHE WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: The worst part is that this girl isn't crying because her parents just died or she lost a limb. She's sobbing into a fistful of tissues because she always needs to be the center of attention. If everyone's not focused on her and all her problems, she just starts crying louder about her job or some lame guy who won't date her. If possible, pair her up with the super wasted guy. She'll think he's listening and he'll think he's going to score.



4. Person Who Just Got Dumped By Their Girlfriend/Boyfriend



WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM: In any corner where they were able to trap and force someone to listen to them talk about how they "don't know what happened," and how it "seemed like things were fine and then all of a sudden she just said that she thought that we were different people now. What does that even mean? Do you know, because I sure don't! I just miss her so much. My name's Brian by the way."

WHY THEY WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: If you wanted people to get depressed at your party, screen a copy of Schlindler's list. The problem with these people is, they don't care who they talk to, and no excuse you give will stop them from talking to you. "Hey, I gotta run to the bathroom," "No worries, I'll just wait for you until your done, unlike my EX girlfriend, who wouldn't wait no matter HOW important it was to go to the bathroom and would just leave you with NOTHING while you were in there."



3. Creepy Dude Who Tries To Score Chicks At The Very End Of The Party



WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM: Towards the end of the party, he'll be wherever he hears the words "I can't believe my friends left without me, they were my ride!" or "I'm so (hiccup) fucked up (hiccup) I gotta lay down or something."

WHY THEY WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: There's a reason why this dude waits till the end of the party to try and score; he's way too creepy to do so when someone isn't in some sort of desperate situation. Thus, although he's there because he's either family, a neighbor, or someone else invited him, you now have to hope to God he doesn't take advantage of someone at your party, otherwise your party will not be remembered as "That Fourth of July Party at Bill's house," and instead be remembered as "that party at Bill's house where that creepy guy tried to score Michele while she was puking."



2. Couple Who Brings Their Baby



WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM: Off to the side, on their knees, pleading with a 6 month old child to stop screaming, or right next to you, asking you where he can dispose of a poo-filled diaper.

WHY THEY WILL RUIN THEIR PARTY: Nothing says party like the sound of a screaming child and the stench of talcum powder and baby oops! If there was a guy throwing up and crying at your party, would you be cool with that? No, you'd either be like "Who the hell brought this guy?" But if you say that about a baby that makes you an asshole. Meanwhile, the party dies because everyone is being super-cautious and attentive to the baby, as if the other 99% of the time that they're not there the baby is barely eluding death due to lack of supervision.



1. Politics Guy



WHERE YOU WILL FIND HIM: At the beginning of the night he usually stands right next to the front door where he overtly shows off his political button or T-shirt that says something like "Once You Go Barack, You Won't Go Back" or "McCain = McStupid." Then, after everyone shows up, he stealthily mingles from group to group while nonchalantly dropping lines like "Did you see what those fatcats tried to pull?" anytime there's a lull in the conversation.

HOW HE WILL RUIN YOUR PARTY: No one in the history of parties has ever changed their political beliefs based on some guy screaming about health care reform in the kitchen of a two bedroom apartment. His endlessly tiresome factoids and statistics about how much oil we consume and how the death penalty doesn't work will make your guests either leave or kill themselves where they stand.
