People Watching........

Okay, so sat here at Lois Lane's work, watching people, sat at the counter near the window watching all the people, different kinds of people outside.

It started with me saying I would keep her company from 9am till 8.30pm while she worked alone. Of course I brought my trusty laptop.

So many different kinds of people doing a lot of the same thing in different kinds of ways.

It's snowing quite heavily now and watching people's reactions is quite entertaining on so many levels. Young "tough" men acting like the cold does not bother them because they are tough, hard and mean... when you can clearly see them shiver in agony when they think their friends are not looking. Young girls going to college dressed like they are going to a summer beach party complaining they are slipping in their heeled shoes. Teenage boys walking all cool and Californian "dude like", thinking they look like proffessional snowboarders. So many people thinking they are different and stand out from the crowd, when to watch them like I do right now you can clearly see clone after clone. This is better than your typical reality TV because these people have no clue they are being watched. One man recently walked by clearly having an heated discussion on the cell phone, not knowing he was being observed he was so comfortable in making these rediculous faces to show his anger even though the other person on the phone could not see him. He was pointing at the phone, it was quite amusing, but not as amusing as when he saw me and started to act completley different. People do change their personas when they are being "judged" or so they think by others.

I have been watching a young girl in her early twenties sitting at the bus stop now for almost 20 minutes, she has cried twice and had a conversation on the cell phone, and now she is texting and laughing out loud. I wonder, if she knew I could see her would she be laughing out loud?, Hmmm I wonder.

I also have a theory about people and cell phones, I believe that people only use them for one: They are bored, and two: it stops strangers from conversing with them. Ninety percent of the people I have observed today in the past six hours have ALL been talking on the cell phone when stood near someone else, and when that someone else walks away or gets on the bus the phone magically gets put back into the pocket. I wonder, are they really on the phone or are they just terrifed that a stranger may ask a simple question such as "Do you have the time?"

Have people become so hooked on chatrooms online they fear actually having a conversation face to face?

The snow is really coming down now.

There is an old man across from me, sat also at the bus stop, coughing (badly may I add) and smoking, this is his fourth smoke in nearly ten minutes. The lady beside him has only just arrived there yet had managed to check her watch many many times. All these people stood at the bus stop and all of them attempting to look busy and not making eye to eye contact for even a second. Why?

Hahahaha, I am sat here on my sixth hour of watching folk, listening to The September When (which is perfect music to go with this outside "movie".

How many more people are gonna fall?

Everybody is gone, the bus stop is empty, no cars,,, everything quiet. It's amost the end of school. Lots more people are due to arrive on scene soon.

Okay thats the third person to have bought ice cream today! What the feck?? haha. I must be missing something here.... they freeze outside, come in here an order ICE CREAM! Where is the logic?

The scenery out here looks amazing though, I am in the middle of nowhere and most of the snow is untouched. Looks like it's been mixed with glitter. Like something from a fantasy film. Amazing! It really does look beautiful.

The smell of burgers is really making me feel nausiated now. I have come to the conclusion that Lois is a legend, I could never ever work in a fast food place. The smell is just getting to be too much now. I know I will not for a very long time want, a Burger King, McDonalds or take away. My hair smells of grease. Eewww! Hahaha.

The snow has stopped.

Another five and a half hours and I get to go home, relax on the sofa and be warm and happy with HK. First of course I will do the housework haha.

Yes I feel tonight is a sit on the sofa and read my book kinda night listening to some excellent relaxing music, meaning Morten Abel or Michael Jackson, maybe both depending on how the book goes hee hee!

WOW!!!! A bus almost just crashed... that was surreal. All is good though, those roads must be slippy for that to have happened. I know I am currently just commented the non-happenings of my day and it's not very intresting, but I find people very very intresting and that is why I have done nothign all day than sit at a window and people watch! Gonna go for a short while now, get a hot chocolate or something.

I apoligise for all my recent typo's, I am a very tired individual! :-)

Toodlepip!

Is It The Twilight Of My Life?

Okay so of course I am a person who believes one can not have an opinion on somethings without experiencing it first. So even though as a fan of movies such as The Lost Boys, Interview With A Vampire, and Queen Of The Damned I reluctantly watched Twilight to see what all the fuss was about. It was hard not to go in with an open mind due to all the reviews I had heard. "Shimmering shiny vampires?"... Still I went ahead and watched it. Only one person told me that he thought I would enjoy it and that was MJ, the rest tol me to stay away which made me more curious.

Although I have not jumped on the Twilight bandwagon I did enjoy it as a movie in it's own right, not a vampire movie. I thought the casting was all wrong and the story was pretty predictable and flat. Yet I did take into account that it was mainly an introduction tot he characters because the second movie looks to have much more of a story and I am looking forward to seeing it. Very much, sshhhhhh, don't tell my friends hahaha.

Next... I am now on episode 12 of The Forgotten starring Christian Slater and I have given it enough epsiodes to form an opinion. Although most would not be suprised if I said I enjoyed it, and I agree, I did only start to watch it because of Mr Slater.... BUT, It actually is a really good show. Although most would think I am biased and I would also usually think the same but trust me and believe me when I say this show is really good. To me it seems like it can only go from strength to strength. It's very well cast and the stories and easy to follow yet have twists and turns. Its a nice turn on the usual CSI type cop shows out there and it is something different and completley enjoyable and far from predictable and boring. The characters are written so well that they can evolve and you know it won't get silly. I do hope another season is given the go ahead because this show really is very very good!

This brings me onto, Cougar Town and Modern Family and Community.... utter brilliance, and that is all I will say on the matter, thankyou to my Kev to brings these shows into my life sooner than what Norway would have done. Hahaha.

Talk to you again soon peeps, just wanted to share those little non-thoughts with you!

MJ or MJ?

Okay, so I was listening to Michael Jackson (suprise suprise) last night and The Lady In My Life came on,.. I started singing along, like ya do and................ I was singing the wrong lyrics.. I thought to myself "eh? What the...." Then it hit me. I was not singing Michael's lyrics, I was singing a friend of mine's.
So I played my friends, then again Michael's and came to the conclusion I actually prefered my friends!!! I prefered the way he sang it. Period! You see I can now hear the difference in their voices bar a few songs like Human Nature, Gone To Soon and so on. Ah well, it's refreshing to know I can still be suprised haha! Thanks for that MJ!
Also I ahve a slight dilema.. (okay it's not a dilema and not really a big deal to most folks) ... I was suppose to see Michael Jackson perform live at the O2 Arena late February and for obvious reasons will not be doing. Also I have been wanting nothign more than to see my friend perform live also. I now have the chance and can not wait!!! The dates I were given were the 17th and 18th... cool I thought, oops I am to go and see Kristian Valen (Yayyyyy!) on the 18th, so I must go and see my friend on the 17th....not a problem I thought....
At least I think all these dates are right hahaha... Then I realised I will be watching my friend on the same date I was to watch Michael. So that will be tough.
Can't wait to finally see my friend live though, So as fate puts it I will be seeing at least one MJ that day.... the creepy thing is they sound the same hahaha.
So just who will I be listening to MJ or MJ?'
We'll see.

Alt og ingenting!

Worst thing of 2009 - Michael Jackson died.
Most memorable and best thing of 2009 - I met Morten Abel.
Christmas was fun as was New Years Eve. Aaaaw Lois Lane did the sweetest thing, the norwegians celebrate Christmas on the 24th and do nothing on the 25th which kinda sucks for me because I am english and thats "our" Christmas day. So I turn up at her house on the 25th and she had set out a pile of presents all wrapped up with gift tags from all my favourite celebrities..ie: Morten Abel, Jeff Goldblum, Hugh Grant and many more, plud Patch the elf (she remembered a childhood story I told her). It's things like this (the thought into every gift) is why I would do anything for her and why I trust her more than any "friend" I have ever had. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with ya'll!
There is no need to re-hash last year now. Let's move, new year new start as "they" all say.
So it's now 2010 and fkin freezing! "Of course it is, you're in Norway" I hear you say... well it's the same everywhere apparently so being in Norway is not the reason. Hahaha. It's just really fkin cold. Okay enough about that because to be honest with you I am sick of hearing about it. Almost 90% of my friends on Facebook have made their status updates about the fkin weather.... seriously, when did everyone turn 80! I remember when only old people discussed the weather haha!
Going watching Kristian Valen in 5 weeks and can not wait. Speaking of Valen, I finally got Living the Dream, a B rated movie that no one has heard of. Of course out of pure principle I was gonna say it was good even though in my heart of heart I thought it might have been terrible. Suprisingly I was very wrong. It actually really was fkin good. Kristian was fantabulous in it.... very funny and a very sad film. Loved it and it was deffinately worth the wait!
I have been very movie-ish recently and have been watching a lot of my old movies.. (nothing new their I hear you mumble)... mainly my Corey movies, Dream A Little Dream, License To Drive, The Lost Boys, Lucas, Stand by Me, Silver Bullet, The Goonies.... also done a few John Cusack movies including, Say Anything, High Fidelity, The Sure Thing, and so on..... BUT the Corey movies made me re-watch The Two Corey's (the reality show they did) and again it really upset me seeing what happened to their friendship... but a few weeks ago Feldman split with his stupid attention seeking wife who basically fueled the Feldman/Haim seperation. Maybe now Haim is clean and sober Feldman will find the time to forgive and forget, after 24 years of friendship I hope so........... WHO CARES CHARLENE?? I hear you all scream hahahahha.... None of you care but that will not stop me writing it all down becasue that's what blogs are for... the interweb has given everyone a voice and the able to shout out their opinions hehehe!
Hmmmmm what else do I care about that you don't? Apart from the obvious, which would be Michael Jackson, Kristian Valen and Morten Abel?
Oh yeah, thanks to that fkin Facebook, strangers from the past are crawling out of the dusty fkin woodworks and are slowly creeping back into my life. Why? I know most people think it's great. "Wow I haven't spoken to him/her for years"..... well to me this means they don't fkin matter or you would have never lost touch. Why are old school bullies for instance sending me friend requests... is it to boost their own pathetic ego's and make themself look more popular by boosting up their friend list? Whatever the reason it ends with me clicking the little button that says "ignore"..... I did not want the wankers in my life then and sure as hell don't want them in it now! There is not a cat in hell's chance of me starting the new year off faking friendships. Sorry, it's true.
My head hurts!
Oooh look a squirell!
HK is snoring. He has been ace recently with me.... he's been quite great actually. I am thirsty, my bedroom is so warm. Hahaha.... it's 5.58am, can you tell I am tired... I am gonna watch a movie soon, hmmm what to watch? Oooooh The Forgotten (the tv show with Christian Slater) is turning out to be quite fkin brilliant. Loving it, hope it doesn't get axed like My Own Worst Enemy. I think I may put Alt For Egil on.... excellent movie.... I made HK watch it and he said it was boring and crap and then he spoke about it for two days... then after 5 days says "you know, it's not as bad as I thought, infact it was pretty good, it gets in your head"... I was like "I KNOW, that's what makes it brilliant!" hahahaha.
He has been quizzing me more and more on music trivia and guess the song within 10 seconds, and what film is the music from type of quizes. He says he actually gets pissed off that I am quite good, I shock myself you know... it's like my brain remembers anything musical. Oh speaking of memory something really fkin sucky happened.... I banged my head outside taking the trash out and the day after turned my cell phone off and then turned it back on (there was a reason but that's not the point of the story)... it asked me for my pin code like it's done everyday for 3 years and................... nothing!.. It's like I had not even ever heard it, was there a 3 in it? a 2 in it? An 8 in it? I have no idea... I can't remember, it's gone. It did actually really upset me, not that I basically lost all my phone numbers or do no longer have a cell phone, what truly upset me and scared me a little was this sudden memory loss... even now after 5 days there is nothing,,, not even an inkling. It's gone. I wonder, did the banging of my head have anything to do with it?
Either way, I now have to buy a new sim card and get a new number and somehow have to get everyone's number again. Sucks!
Okay I am bored now.... gonna listen to Valen for a while, do some writing and watch Alt For Egil. Sleep well my minions.
Keep smiling and as always....
Toodlepip!
