... Who do girls like they're boys, Always should be someone you really love."

Gosh, I have been rather remiss in updating this!

That would suggest that nothing has been happening; but it would be quite a lie! Life has been terribly busy and overwhelmingly happy of late which in part has contributed to the lack of available on line time generally. But there is no time to reminisce here and now...


...its almost Whitby!!!

Dear Universe

You're doing it wrong; the hard stuff is mean to be hard and the easy stuff is meant to be easy!

No matter how big the island, its still a cage if you cant swim.

...what was there?"

I saw a canopy of stars last night, lights already dead burning in a black sky over fields of yellow flowers and drove towards the dawn to see the sunrise over the fake orange glow of a vast concrete city that never quite sleeps.

I am now a certified first aider!

I now hope I never have to use any of it. Although I also now fancy doing the advance pre hospital stuff as well. Its all so fascinating!

Dear Collective Sci Fi Gods

I would like to make an addition to my previous order (which still remains outstanding!), I would now also like a young Mr Spock.

I promise not to break him.

Yours, boldly going

Dear Whitby,

I am bored now. I now care even less (if that is possible) about the spa and other events of that ilk. The dirty laundry is starting to smell.

Whitby is not about the over priced tickets that allow you to queue in the cold for hours to see shite bands you can see anywhere else for a fiver whilst getting mugged for a cheap weak vodka that is served to you in a way that makes you feel like you should be grateful.

I love wearing stupid big (and occasionally inappropriate) outfits but frankly I will wear them in the damn street if I have to. I love seeing all the people I love for which Len charges £3.10 (and a smile) for the price of a drinkie. I love being beside the damn sea side with a bloody big impromptu fire whilst I slowly talk more and more rubbish.

I plan to be going in Halloween.

Yours yawningly

Prudence.

Dear Cylon God,

Please can you make Mr Hamster buy the rest of the BSG series (4 and 5) so that I might steal them. I do not want to buy them until they come out in a single set as they will not match other wise and that is just wrong, I am sure you understand.

Oh and I am still waiting for a head space Dr G! I believe I ordered this some time ago.

Yours devotionally

Prudence

Whitby:

There was;

Too much drinking;
Not enough sleeping;
Great people;
Evil shambles food;
Small select gatherings;
Sunsets through the Whales bones;
Flyering all of Whitby (Come to dv80s! 8th May!) dressed in too many neon colours;
Hair that they fill airplane cavities with;
Being an honorary groupie;
Talking rubbish till way too late in the morning;
Getting carried to bed by a wee John;
Going 1 - nil up at half time;
Getting to hold the Chunky Monkey; and
Dancing till my feet hurt.

Gods I am getting too old for this!

I shall however watch the boards and rumour mills with interest and decide what I am doing about October.

now for a shower, some food and a good nights sleep in my own damn bed!

Prudence is away from the internet until Tuesday 28 April, she will not have access to the internet in that time.

However, if you leave a message after the beep she might deal with it on her return.

If your message is urgent please press 0 and ask to speak to the interweb fairy.

As you may be aware I am having a Birthday this year. Its a rather old one (grumble) but as ever the years are only in my mind (and my bones!)...as such Wendy House have been good enough to ensure there is a suitable celebratory Bendy Party JUST FOR ME!! (isnt that nice of them)...

Your attendance is required!!

WHERE: Wendy House (some where in Leeds, which is up North)

WHEN: 17th January 2009

WEARING: the theme is going to be "what did you want to be when you grew up!" (not the proper adult idea... the one you had when you were really young!!!)

so dig out your bob the builder play sets (I know you have one), dust off those fairy wings (Ive seen of you in those at Whitby!) and come and shake your tommahawks!

Did you all enjoy your leap second?

There was a Christmas, which was nice enough. There have been days that I have done nothing with, which has been a welcome respite. There has been company over new year, which has been pleasent.

There could be more but its a touch late on to really write yet another This Is What My Family Did post. It was very much the way 2008 has been; some of it was good, some of it was not good, a touch of it was too dark, and there were a couple of moments of brightness. 2008 was always going to be a year of waiting, a year of 'lets see', a year of other people's choices.

Welcome to 2009, its promises to be an interesting ride what ever way I sit!

"I don't wish to prejudge the girl, Jeeves, I am sure she has a heart of gold; its just she also has a tooth of one"

looking for a neato xmas idea .... try this:

The product description on Amazon also reads:

"An Ungodly Child follows Harold Waterman, an unlikely hero, and his summoned demonic familiar Jasfoup. When Harold is infected by an incurable disease when he meets Jedith, otherwise known as the Angel of Pestilence, he turns to the black arts to find a cure. Jasfoup is only too happy to help, as long as Harold can pay for his services. Meanwhile, the three angels of destruction are out to prove that there could be an antichrist, if only Harold would believe it. Gillian, Harold's vampire girlfriend, is not so sure."

[written by the wyfe of a friend - not read it yet but I have ordered it and am looking forward to reading it - looks a touch Gaiman (but given this writter's other stuff) but better! - and Im not at all jealous... ok I am a touch but I also think its great.. so buy it! If you buy it there will be more!]

Happy Birthday to my bestest friend, my oft partner in crime, my sometimes paranoia, my loverly wyfe, My confessor, my source of stress and argh, my sometime voice of reason and my occassional security blankee!

Much love my darling

I really should not be allowed in polite company
vodka plus wine plus vodka plus gin is evil
I am getting too old!
I can have a drama free whitby (mostly by ignoring it)

There is lots more but as ever WHIWSIW!
