Posted: Hey all well i decided my intro thread kinda sucked so though i'd redo it!and instead of all the rubbish i wrote in the last one i figured i could also use this as a wee diary aswell!
Anyay,its wednesday,3 days after fal4 and i'm still recovering!Had such an amazing weekend,and met soooooo many lovely people(you all know who you are),and at the mo i'm sat at me bros pooter,bored,waiting for brad and mags to pick me up to take me to tonights eden gig(they're late as usual-no suprises there!).
Started talking to my boss today(i work at a design warehouse) about the possibility of tarting up my morris minor with sum lettering and stuff,as i wann start up a sort of mini entertainment consultancy.....
Basically...this is the idea
I figured with minimal cost i could get sum advertising done(business cards,yellow pages etc.)to promote me and the guys that i perform with,in the hope that we'd get more regular gigs,and then i thought about setting up a website for said company...
However...then i thought people from all over the world are gonna see this and we're all down in cornwall....so here's where the idea comes in.... I thought that maybe we could compile a list of different hoppers no.s,from all around the country...abroad even...so that if someone called me up from say lancashire i could simply search thru the list and see whos closest!?
That way any gigs that us guys down here couldn't get to,wouldn't be completely lost and then everyone gets to make loads of money...WOOPEE!!!
Well its just an idea anyway but i'd appreciate sum feedback!
Love to all for today!! EDITED_BY: maus (1170865553)

Wow. Looks like you're pretty much doing the round-the-world thing. Very envious, but I guess I'd settle for a postcard
How long's this going to keep you from English weather?

Posted: wednesday 17th august
been a good day!!,went to work,tried desperately to sort out transport to PLAY, thankfully the fabulous fluffy has sorted me out a treat ( soooooo much love and thanks going to you right now mty dear )from bristol at least and possibly from cornwall.
then.....hmmmmm....oh yes! we have a giant tigger teddy at work (literally as tall as me) which i dressed up as a pirate unfortunately someone updated tiggers new look with a rucksack and turned him into an islamic extremist, which asn't massively popular with my boss
ah well...came to my parents house,ate some of mums god awful food ( that lady's good at a lot of things but cookin aint one of them)
as an example had a friend over for dinner when i was ooh, about 12/13..... and overheard her talking about my lovely ma's "death spaghetti" (bolognese)the next day!
needless to say she didn't come over again.
actually nor did many others...hang on....i totally blame my mum for not being popular when i was younger!!
actually to be fair it was prob the fact that i was reading x-men comics while all the rest of the gals were playin with barbies malibu beach house studio tanning and beauty salon, or whatever that cheap reconstituted junk was.
*hee hee.....feels smug at having good taste at a young age*
so anyway,just about to paint meself ready for work(AGAIN) *sigh* i love body painting but for some reason its not half as fun when you do it to yourself,just gets kinda tedious!
ah well....best get paintin and stop postin!!
love to all (especially those who i'll see this weekend!)

Posted: Dude - if this does happen, the whole naked wedding thing, can we rearrange the standard layout - ie. bride and groom not infront of the crowd - they should be behind.
I do not want to look at your naked arse for any longer than i have too!
Maus - sweeet to meet you, thanks for the face painting, really liked - you are going to be doing my body next time, thats for sure
See you in Bristol

Posted: thank you for your kind donation of vodka and coke. Also for your most delightful company throughout the fire show. Very kind of you to ocasionally giggle at my lame jokes
Hmmm, everyone else is thanking you for paintings....damn i feel left out now....I resisted the urge to ask to be painted throughout the weekend - i figured you had enough people to contend with already.

Posted: okay so the story of the play weekend:
THURSDAY
went to work still stressing about how the hell i was gonna get to play,finally got news from ros that she'd sorted a lift (so much for that girl) so put on my very bestesy *i'm feeling reall ill* voice and managed to get myself sent home! a very good blag indeed!!frantically packed all my stuff, the fabulous jay picked me up (even more for that guy-what a star!!) swung by launceston,grabbed mags,up to lime regis to grab fluff and squeeze in a quick cup of earl and then off to brum town.smoked a bifta....passed out.
FRIDAY
woke up (just) lazed about and watched heavenly creatures with fluff (not a film i would recommend if your after a bit of early morning light entertainment!!) went to garage to buy food etc. checked my bank balance, and for some rason the bank fairy had decided to give me lots of money_YAY!!! jay picked us up and after getting lost around shrewsbury for a while we finally made it to play!! painted mags as a green-ish tiger type thing,and a few other peeps,watched the hilarious renegade.... .....saw lots of bums ...oh and dunc....for the record....iwas sat on the side!! got wasted passed out.
SATURDAY
Woke up suprisingly early...played for a long time in between painting various bodies and faces! oh its a hard life painting half naked men! went to asda with garth and bought a purple unicorn for fluff for bein such a legend! by the way garth......totally looked far too hot in that size 8 dress!! started to drink far too much vodka,watched the amazing show that was put on for us....highlights for me being durbs body popping/contact routine...seriously talented guy!!and of course my future husband with his flaming wheelbarrows and bycicles...SO PROUD!! vaguely recall passing out at some point,and then waking up to realise everyone had gone to bed,so went to sleep in a very cold,very uncomfortable tent!!(twas lotsa fun overall tho!!)P.S- totally forgaot got cooked 2 awesome brekkies by mech and kev,thanku both soooo much!!
SUNDAY
woke up felling rubbish (suprise!) lounged in the sun a lot,painted a few people,everyone went home so we tidied up a bit,got a pizza delivered,made the biggest (possibly most dangerous fire in HoP history) and just generally chilled out for a while before bed.
MONDAY
Firstly id like to point out that i was actually maent to be at work,but was still at PLAY-oops!! woke up,it was raining minced about the campsite for a while in the rain in my wonder woman pyjamas-such a good look im sure! got everything packed up,matt drove us to cardiff,and then we got a lift the rest of the way with becci. was meant to be working at eden but was feeling slack so got someone else to do it went home and slept in my massive warm comfy bed-unfortunately alone but c'est la vie!!
had the best weekend,thanku to all that made it so special. i love you all very much!
