Good Deeds are Good!

Gosh, I don’t half feel great!

The weather was nice today, and those who’re “with the programme” so to speak, who do follow me, know how my health is affected by the weather. I usually get horribly emotional before a drastic weather change. Thus why last night and early on in to the morning, I could not stop crying, then I wake up to joyus warm sunshine. I felt so good, I even got up, showered, nice make up [more than my usual eyeliner I mean] and Adam and I went to the shop!

Firstly, huge achievement in itself as getting out is hard for me.

On the way to the shop, I noticed something as we were walking down the road. It seemed somebody had left their keys in their front door. The door was shut, but the key was in the door, along with the car key for the Ford Mondeo that was on the driveway. So, I went up to the persons front door, knocked the letter box and rang the doorbell. No answer. Rang the door bell again. Still, no answer. Oh dear. So… the house owner is out, and I have free entry to their house, and then their car right in front of me. So what do I do? Adam spots a neighbour and wonders if he knows them, so I enquire; “Excuse me, do you know who lives there, by any chance?” yeah, we explained the situation and he was like oh I see, I’ll put the keys inside here [in his porchway type thing] and put a note through their letterbox. I thanked him and we resumed travelling to the shop.

I hope those people got their keys back and everything. I know the guy was their next door neighbour and everything, but we had no idea who he was or what he was like, he might fancy that mondeo, or they might have a big tv next door he wants. Ya know what I mean? But in that situation, what can you do, really? Just gotta try and trust. Might see next time I go to the shop if I go next week, check the person got their keys back okay or something. Just to make sure.

Yus. Good day. I felt good after doing that. I could quite easily have had that persons car, or the contents of their house, the thought never even crossed my mind. Well, only one thought of entering came to mind, and that was to open the front door, as the keys were in, put the keys inside, and close the door again, maybe have a peek around to check that all was okay, because there was also a little card on the keys about emergency healthcare stuff, its hard to explain, but basically meaning somebody lived there who wasn’t in the best of health who probably needed caring for. But when I saw their neighbour come out of next door, I decided against it. They don’t know who I am, I could have been anyone, a burgler for all they knew. I’d hate to get cliche’ly hit with a frying pan.

Adam and I got to the shop, bought my magazines which I haven’t done in months, and walked back. Half way back, the pain was kicking in, but I managed.

When we got back, Adam was fooling around, he picked me up and said “woah! you’re loads lighter! you’re so easy to pick up now!” I smiled. I didn’t tell him about my recent weight loss. When we first met, just over a year ago, we had brief-ish conversation, I’m bad with people. Then I saw him again at another party in February, which is where he apparently fell in love with me. We cuddled on the sete for the entire thing, near enough. And at one point, he was hugging, picking up-spinning everyone. He couldn’t pick me up very well. In fact, pretty much, he couldn’t pick me up at all.

When we started dating, he did pick me up, could tell he strained. I’d lost a little weight. Now, he picks me up with ease! It makes me smile so much, I squeal and its fun and smiles all round. Though hes kinda strong anyways. I’m not sure of my exact weight but it WAS about 14 and a half stone 1 year ago. Now, its 11stone something I believe. Not sure, but as I was 12.4stn before I lost the 7lbs, yeah. That would make sense. Yay me.

So this has added to my happiness of the day.

AND Adam gets to sleep over tomorrow night, and provided my brother doesn’t whine about it, hopefully he won’t have to sleep on the sofa this time. :p Ahh, bliss. But he does snore. But I have something to hit him with if he disturbs me. ;]

Minus 7lbs

I’ve lost 7lbs since I last went on the wii fit a fortnight ago!

Warning, this entry has poop descriptions. It may be crude. XD

I think its because of the medicine I had a reaction to a week ago. It was coming out both ends and I haven’t had a “solid” poop so to speak, since. In fact, I’ve only had 1 poop since. Yes. This tells you just how shite my bowels are. Pun intended. Wondering if I should take another one. XD 7lb! Now I’m almost at healthy weight! I was higher up on the “at risk of overweight” before, and now I’m only a third in to the “at risk of overweight” segment. No wonder Adam has been able to pick me up a lot easier lately! Shows them colon cleanse things do work after all. XD

Thing is, I can’t really see where its come from. My belly is more squishy I guess. More flabby. Not attractive! Need major tummy toning I think! Or I’m gonna be one of those women who needs a tummy tuck cus of the excess skin that hangs over her waist band. And on top of that, my stretch marks have almost dissapeared! So if I went on holiday, I would have the confidence to wear a bikini I reckon. Which is the only type of swimsuit I can wear. Cus of my top half being so much bigger than my bottom half. XD

But also, Adam and I have decided we’re gonna start going jogging in the morning. I can jog very far… cus of well, my health obviously, but hes willing to put up with it and do it with me for my benefit. Well at least I hope so. But sports bras don’t work for me. So I’m going to have to try bandage down the boobies yus.

Yeah. Weird and personal entry eh.. such is life. As if I care. :p I don’t really get strangers reading my blog, after all. If I dunno you, then ahoy! And bye? Seeing as you probably won’t visit again now. XD

Just a quicky

Good news is Adam’s rash has gone and he is okay now. :D

The doctor just prescribed him a big tub of e45. No referal to a dermatologist or anything. It may not have even been that product either! Cus it always flared up more when he came round here, but since I changed my bed covers… nothing. Maybe it was cat fur? But he has a cat… not that hes around it much tbf. Where mine lives on my bed. Which… she is snoring right now actually.

Adam has work tomorrow… and yet I’m like ahhh! Its so hard when hes not here. Too dependant indeed. I have no idea what I’m gonna do tomorrow. I’m in the mood to do *something* … I just dunno what. Not gonna see him tomorrow cus hes having a proper dinner with his nan and brother.

Also, some other silly crap happened today, but I’m not gonna go in to it as it isn’t my buisiness to tell really. Just short notice from the hospital, a letter through the post 2 hours before the appointment. Wasn’t for me, was for someone else and ofc, they couldn’t make it, making them wait more months. NHS fail.

I could type more but idk what to say. Oh… other than I’ve been thinking about making some videos about life with M.E. …but I am still unsure. But I need to work on *something* or I’m going to go insane.

Poor Adam!

My poor baby! :( Hes covered in a delightful rash. It was amusing at first. I said he had fleas. Lol. But its not funny now. He has a nasty angry red rash that looks like he’s had an allergic reaction. :( Its pretty bad. It went down but its flared back up again!

It might be my fault. :( I bought him some of that Garnier Men Expert moisturizer for sensitive skin stuff for xmas and he just used it the other day, and since then hes been all itchy and now hes all angry red! Gutted! Hes having to take tomorrow off of work, it hardly screams good health and hygeine if he goes in all flared up like that and scratching himself silly. He was supposed to go to the doctors this morning but as it had gone down, he didn’t bother. I made him promise to make an appointment to go tomorrow and then give me a call to let me know what they say and if he wants to see me or not. See if I need to lotion him up again. Oooft. Bet he loves it really. ;p Naw, in other circumstances, I’m sure he would, but like this, no. Poor guy! :( He got all shy and tried to hide from me but I wouldn’t let him. I still love him with his angry red rash. We drove up to the late night pharmacy… they wern’t too helpful. :(

Been slathering him in e45, I just want to wrap him up and cuddle it away! Haha, I’m such a sap. The silly moo, what am I gonna do with him eh. He got all worried about it. I felt sooo bad, its gotta be so uncomfortable! It looks ever so sore! To add to it, he almost got hit by a chunk of brick on the bus on the way home from mine, too. ON THE BUS! Somebody bricked the window. Fucking idiots! In my years of catching the 67 bus to school and back, where there are plenty of idiots, not once has anyone bricked the bus window. Thrown eggs at it and other stuff, yeah, but never a brick. I feel so bad for Adam because its not the nicest thing to walk home round this area in the dark either. And now hes probably worried about getting on the bus, too. Can’t say I blame him! Its enough to add to my bus phobia. I wanna wrap him up in cotton wool and keep him in my bed now. I want to just wrap him up in general. Hes so cuddly. And MINE. Yus. Bless.

Will hopefully update soon. Hopefully this nasty rash is going to leave him alone and the doctor will make him all better. I hope!

What happened?

Yeaah. My host upgraded their php version. Which screwed up my database. I was using an old version of wordpress and so apparently this didn’t gel so badly, that my blog dissapeared from bloggersphere. However, I have upgraded wordpress and updated the database and all is well, as you can see. …hopefully. With a new theme, too. You can probably expect this to change now and then.
Now, I have a few real life updates to make, but I’ll do that some other time… as its cold and my nipples are about to drop off, yes. Just incase anyone was wondering what happened.

Some images may not work anymore along with some links. I probably won’t bother fixing them. They’re out of date or un-important anyway. Like my previous post [Make up review] the images no longer work.

Nice to have you back. My… probably about 4 readers that aren’t bots.

L’Oreal True Match Foundation Review

Make up Review

L’Oreal True Match Foundation

Firstly, the price, £9.99? NOT worth it. This has to have been the worst foundation I have ever tried, and I have tried a fair few. Honestly.

I tried a tester on my hand, though in a different colour as they didn’t have mine. Yes, hands are differen’t colour to your face anyway, but you have no idea how long those testers have been sitting in there, and how many airborne germs are in there, waiting to ruin your face. The colour might not be right, but don’t use testers on your face, unless they just put out a fresh one. If you’re unsure of what shade would suit you, kindly ask shop staff to open a new one. It is not worth the damage to your face, even if it seems good. And of course, if it looks filthy and icky… well we all know testers get this way, but like you don’t want to touch it? Then don’t touch it! The tester worked well on my hand, despite being a differen’t shade, bit darker, it was roughly the same colour as my hand, as my hands are darker than my face. So it worked out. It blended, the coverage seemed pretty decent, so I decided to grab myself one in my shade. Rose Ivory.

I got it home and couldn’t wait to try it out. HUGE disaster. The coverage? Horrific. No amount of attempting to blend could get rid of the streakyness and it just *sat* on top of my skin. “Matches the colour and texture of your skin” the bottle says.

No. Whatever colour is in the bottle, comes out of the bottle. It does not blend, it does not change. Super blendable perfecting foundation, my ass!

Texture? Oh yes! It definatley matches the texture of your skin! If you have any mild lines, it sure does make sure to keep that all in tact and show them off! If you have dry skin, or porus looking skin, it makes sure to show that off, too! You only need to use a little bit to make yourself look like a caked up clown!

But hey, on the flipside, it can give me smoother looking hands ;)

Seriously. Nothing good about this foundation. High price, low quality!

Would I recommend it to a friend? If they wanted to experiment with setting make up on fire, maybe.

This might import from my blog to facebook… or probably will. So if you’re reading this on facebook, you might as well stop now, because you’re probably not going to like it. So me saying that, you’ll probably read it anyway, and leave a smart arsed comment in reply. I will do my best to ignore it if you do so. Unless you have a mature, well thought out response, relative to the article.

PERMALINK: http://blog.talei-uno.com/2010/01/24/lulz

A blog is a blog, an only log, journal, diary, for ones personal thoughts and feelings, its even hosted on my own webspace, so I’m more than entitled to them. Nobody says you have to agree, but you won’t change my thoughts. Its a waste of time to try. Nobody says you have to click and read, you can carry on with your daily life and all will be well.  You’re entitled to your own opinion, and type it if you wish, doesn’t mean I’m going to pay attention to it though. ;] Just like you don’t have to do to mine. If you want to, well then that is just swell, but I lose nor gain anything if you don’t. My blog is just to express my personal feelings, so that I shall do.

Should I say it now or later?

Told ya so. :)

I’ve had pretty much everything I’ve been thinking over these past few days, proven to me. Handed out like milk and cookies at Christmas today. Ohhh the joys of being right is damn fabulous. Though I do feel slightly shameful for admitting it.

Thanks twitter friends who’ve shown me the loveliness in the world. <3 Good people do exist. You just have to look. “little penguin of love” haha, thanks Liloo [@tsunimee on twitter] I imagined that in your French accent and everything. :p

And thanks for the others, who I won’t mention names, because they’ll whine at me, who have provided me with lulz. But you guys know who you are.

Its also amazing how despite everything, some people can be horribly immature. I was talking to this 34 year old canadian today, and she was acting like someone else I know, of my own age.

So it proves, age is but a number.

My newest… I say friend, Jay, is 52 years old, and he commented that he feels like hes talking to someone of his own generation. I seem to get along better with older people, and this concerns me slightly. I don’t understand my own generation, the teenagers. I genuinely don’t get it. Sometimes I get called the group “mother” and sometimes I get called uptight, and told I should just get drunk like everyone else. But I don’t get it? I don’t understand what is so awesome about people getting drunk and not being able to remember the previous night, throwing up everywhere and inconviniencing other people. Some people do dumb shit and sometimes its hillarious, but some people get seriously hurt and that isn’t funny and it isn’t a joke. I just don’t understand the appeal of damaging your liver and not knowing who the fuck is lying next to you when you wake up. Okay. So maybe this makes me uptight. I just genuinely do not get it.

Danni brought about the faith in humanity project to peoples attention… and it didn’t take long before my points were in minus numbers. I don’t know what this means for me, for having so little faith in people, but I’m so used to watching things crumble before my eyes without being able to do a thing. Where is humanity going wrong? Maybe it should start from scratch? Why is everything so contraversial. Why do people have to annoy others because they’re bored [ASBOs] and scare the life out of the eldery… and other people who’re not even elderly! Why should people feel the need to live life in fear because of anothers’ actions? They shouldn’t. One persons actions should not affect another, but it is impossible in the human race.

People can’t keep themselves to themselves. They can’t ignore chavs and just walk on by, and not surprisingly! They’re likely to yell at the person(s) walking past or worse! Why do these people feel the need to disturb the pedestrian? By what do they achieve? Why do people have to pick fights over small things, like whats for dinner, which way to walk home, what shop to visit first? Control. Why do people feel the need to control others more than themselves. Why try and control other people when they can’t even engage in a little self control? The human race does not make any sense.  Nor do I think I will ever. And that may just drive me barmy, because I hate realizing things, but not being able to figure out the cause for the effect. It took me a while to realize it, but when I realized how much it effects you, being out of the loop from day to day life [when I had to drop out of school and ended up bed bound thanks to my health] I realized that I don’t like to know things, but not understand them, to not get the whole picture or know the whole story.

I guess I found one of my weak points. Haha. And I’ve just told it to the world, but ya know, I don’t care. By now, I’m used to being left out of the loop, and I know who my real friends are. I won’t forget the people who stayed in contact when I was confined to my bed. Ever. And I will never forget those who ran away or never bothered. I may do forgiving, but I don’t do forgetting. And people wonder why I don’t trust and/or why I’m so skeptical of people. Think about it, did you give me reason to be skeptical?

People suck.

Yes. Thats right. People suck!

“Ahh, man, I hate my mum! She won’t buy me ____________”

Why don’t you get off of your arse and earn your own money? How about that?

“Where’d you get that”

“Mum bought it me”

Some kids are so lucky. They have pretty much everything handed to them on a plate. And they just take and take and take. And then theres the rich kids with a silver spoon in their mouth who has no idea about the value of the pound. Let alone earning it.

Yet some of us, are struggling to put food on the table and pay bills, living paycheck to paycheck, and are at risk of losing jobs in this so called “credit crunch” which means no food, no paying bills, no paying mortgage = homeless? Some people don’t realize just how lucky they have it?

What about those poor souls in Haiti? I bet none of the kids [especially older ones] bothered donating their pocket money that their parents hand them to go spend on lavish goodies to the Haiti fund. What if one day, their family lost their fortune, or they turned 18 and their parents said, okay, you’re on your own now, I want you out of here by the weekend, no more pocket money. What would they do? They’d be fucked, thats what. They’d go leech at a best friends house for God knows how long before getting a crappy job which barely covers their own food costs, let alone what they’re adding on to the bills of whatever poor soul they’re living with.

Now, I’ve never had everything handed to me on a plate, but my parents have never seen me go without either. I’ve never had an abundance of expensive, fashionable clothes, all my clothes nowadays were pretty much dirt cheap or on sale. And I don’t have a huge range of them either. I used to be so good with money, I’d save every penny when I was little. I knew the value of a pound. On the occassion, I’d spend it on something I wanted and saved up for, or put my hand in the jar and treat myself. Its not a bad thing now and then. But lately, I don’t even know where the hell my money is going. I’m paying my way, paying my contract and whatever else and its all gone. Its THAT easy for it all to be gone. People say to me, omg you get £350 a month? Thats loads! I get like £200 on EMA! Dude, you’re in college, your parents pay for most things, you know you don’t spend your EMA on school supplies. I CAN’T go to college, I CAN’T work, and without my £350 a month, there would never be food in the fridge. Its just THAT easy to spend money in the home, but those who’re students and such barely need to worry about it.

I’m not knocking students who keep their heads down and genuinely do work hard. Can’t knock that all. Theres nothing wrong with trying to make a good future for yourself. So why not think about saving? Parents aren’t ones to fill their children in on all the finacial details, but unless you’re one of the lucky rich kids, or well off as previously mentioned, your folks are probably having difficulty. Start buying your own “luxuries” and don’t make your parents buy them. Don’t buy some yourself and make your parents buy some too. If you want something, bloody save for it. If there isn’t anything you particularly want or need, put it in a savings account, let it collect some interest, don’t just spend it because you have it. You never know when you might need that money, one day you may even need it to keep food in your belly or a roof over your head.

You say you’re an adult, you want to be treated like an adult, but adults don’t rely on their parents for their lavish goodies. They don’t get everything on a plate from mummy and daddy. So if you want to be treated like an adult, start acting like one! </rant>

Bleh

So yeah… I’ve not updated much lately. Appologies but my health has taken a horrible dip. Pretty much stuck in bed.

Which is like ahhh!

Because I have to go to the jobcenter later on today :/ Fack.

But yeah. Thats actually pretty much it for my update. I went to buffet island the night before last and wanted to blog about that but I don’t have the energy tbch. So… good night!

*Sigh*

I think I’m going to give up on my website.

Just get a flickr pro account and put all my photography up on there as I don’t vector too much anymore…

Though I’m going to keep it for blogging, of course. I love blogging. Well… I don’t know actually, but if this place disappears, remember for in the future, contact me at twitter.com/talei or talei.deviantart.com, I may move my blog to free wordpress. I’m using nowhere near my quota here. But hey, we’ll see in the future. I’m unsure at the moment. I have a general splash page up now…

Photography gallery is horribly out of date because it hates me but I genuinely am not overly bothered anymore… I don’t know whats up with me. Not like me. :/ *Sigh* I just don’t see much point when I’m not a professional, to be completley honest. It was my obsessive compulsiveness and desire to seem professional that caused me to create the site in the first place, and I’ve grown up since then. So we’ll see. I’m unsure if talei-uno.com will live past two years old.

Thoughts?
