And when the juggling becomes too much...

Sunday, and the beginning of a fresh week, a blank canvas if you like. This was my attitude as I got up this morning and, as it happens, it has paid dividends. Forgetting aall about any troubles and stresses and recent events and just looking forward, redeeming my normal composure and just getting on with it. It is my belief that people shouldremain content until something causes them to be otherwise. What is done is done, and when you're powerless to change the past, it's time to move on. A bit naive, perhaps, and certainly much easier to say than to do, but I'm trying.
At the end of a week of such poignant ups and downs, I feel mentally and physically exhausted. A chain of events, mostly unrelated have peaked and dipped my 'world' if you like in the past couple of weeks orso but headway has been made and the dark cloud could be about to be pierced. I don't want to dig my own grave by saying that, but at least now I can see how things could perhaps, maybe just, be resolved.
Schoolwork has been up at the top of my list of minor stresses in the last week. Education could perhaps do with a bit of shaking to at least ensure all deadlines don't fall on the same day. As it stood, my deadlines for four pieces of project work landed on Friday and the days leading up to it were certainly headbanging! This was a very inopportune time for school to start wailing for attention and part of me regrets the fact that in my desperation to get everything in on time, the quality of my work may have suffered.
Speaking of work, it's been unhelpful to only have a single day off this week, and the same next week. It's becoming the only reason to look forward to Thursdays not to have to step into that place.
These two distractions have served to do one thing however, and take my mind off of things spinning around my head at the moment, one of which being the slow and reluctant realisation that I'm more unwell than I care to admit.
I can't and nor do I want to, divulge details about what's going on, but I felt fit to leave some form of update to show that there is light at the end of the tunnel and also to thank those who have been a constant support.
You know who you are.

Fingers crossed for a fresh, happy week!

Oh. My. God.

So many deadlines tomorrow. Coursework D-Day for every subject. Tomorrow is going to be a hell of a lot of stress I REALLY don't need!
I wish I could hibernate...!
:(

I may be vacating my homepage for a while...

...due to personal difficulties.
But I'll try not to disappear altogether ;o)
x

Getting a bit boring now...

Seems like I'm ill yet again!
When I say 'seems like' I mean that the symptoms are as apparent as ever. Incessant spells of vomiting, banging headache, aching muscles, shivers and hot sweats and stomach cramps all combine to make a rather unpleasant day.
Bah!
I must admit I'm getting rather fatigued with all this illness
But, yes, short post today...I can't be bothered if I'm honest!
Which I always am :)

The Fruit Bowl Tribute: Akranya

Issue 145 was released on Wednesay and heralded the final appearance of the character Akranya as she found she could cope no more.
Akranya made her first appearance in Issue 101 with the rest of her family and has been a central chaarcter since.
She put many noses out of joint with her rowdy behaviour and ended up on the wrong side of several residents.
Her darkest moment was when she was forced to put her erratic daughter out of her misery during a showdown at the doctor's surgery.Tragedy befell Akranya at a later date when she lost her bullboy son Mellot when he was killed whilst robbing a house.
Akranya's past was explored when her sister Callie was released from jail and it emerged she had actually covered for a crime Akranya commited. the subsequent showdown led Akranya's husband Charles into Callie's arms and Akranya into the depths of despair.
Unable to cope with her life as it stood, Akranya made her final appearance when taking a fatal overdose

Any comments regarding the times of Akranya or her tearjerking exit can be directed to the usual e-mail address: wallomrslug@yahoo.com

As always, the best responses will be shown in future editions of The Fruit Bowl

ABC Meme

I have been tagged by Gemmak, so must fulfill the requirements of the binding contract!

Accent – WELL, this is a long running debate between myself and a few people. I am of the firm belief that I have no particular accent, and if i am it is pretty weak. But others reckon I have a Scottish accent. A twang maybe but I find the accent classification a bit exaggerrated. Although friends from london do say it's quite strong...

Booze of choice – I like the odd tipple on occasion although don't have many major preferences. Depends on the mood!

Chore I hate – Washing dishes! yeuch! Especially other people's! People who have been eating a food I don't like! Gah! Nothing is more vile than having to scrub hardened food off of cutlery that has been in someone's mouth and in a plate of food.

Dog or Cat – Cat! I miss my Rory and Sukie!

Essential electronics – Computer, phone, memory stick. Everytime I misplace one of these I take a panic. Although it IS somewhat difficult to misplace a computer, I'll admit.

Favorite perfume - Don't do perfume but aftershaves at the moment are Deisel. My preference changes though, I'm an awkward bugger

Gold or Silver? I don't care, to be honest!

Hometown – Scotland! Not a town I know, but I could class myself as having three different hometowns. I was moved around a bit as a nipper

Insomnia? – Ummm no...

Job Title – I'm not sure what my job title is these days...general dogsbody i think would sum it up.

Kids? – 2 kids from a previous marriage....for those who don't know me on a personal level, no, not really.

Living Arrangement – With my mummy and brother and bastard face :)

Most-admired trait – I'm told it's my sense of humour. But I don't really have one!

Overnight Hospital Stays – Yes...but I don't want to go into that chapter!

Phobia – Fire is close to being a phobia though I'm not as nervous about it these days

Quote – "What's all the hubbub" I don't do philosophy okay!?

Religion – I don't do religion either.

Siblings – A younger brother. Aggrivating git he is too!

Time I wake up – I'm usually an early riser. 6,7, rarely later than 8 or 9

Unusual talent/skill – I can turn my eyelids inside out but I'd hardly call that a talent

Vegetable I refuse to eat – Celery.

Worst habit – Ummm...talking excessive amounts of crap! Blathering that's the word I'm looking for. i blather. or is it blether...both are acceptable I guess...See what I mean...? ;o)

X-rays – Oh predictable! COme up with a new X! I have had no X-rays, no

Yummy foods I make – I can make cakes and biscuits and scones and stuff! I also make a mean vegetable chilli...VERY spicy.

Zodiac sign – Sagittarius. this week, apparantely, I'm to find true love...AGAIN!

I HATE Thursdays!

I don't know what it is about them...but nothing ever seems to go right on a Thursday and I end down in the dumps. Barely half an hour past noon, and already that familiar feeling has crept up on me.
So far this morning, I've received news of a good friend who has been rushed to hospital, I've lost my bank card, I've had to step in and comfort a friend who my brother has hurled abuse at and I feel sick, yet again.
I don't know if it's a psychological thing but, ever since I can remember, I have detested Thursdyas with a passion. It may have been only a selection of minor things each time that bothered me and it could also be because I've trained myself to hate Thursdays so I notice the annoying things more because I'm expecting them.
So, yes, today looks like it will be no exception.
I have some written work to get on with, no doubt that will stress me and I also have a very charming late shifyt at work...and I know there's going to be trouble there...
Roll on Friday!

Okay so it might be Wednesday...

...but I finally have some easter chocolate!!!!

~~SPOILER~~ Ms Poulter to be left fighting for her life! ~~SPOILER~~

Get set for a sizzling summer down Panda Stripe Village way when a grim mystery will leave all residents under suspicion
Ms Poulter may well have taken a step too far where one villager is concerned. In an dramatic moment, she will be shot by an unidentified assailant, and just about everyone has a motive.
Whether or not Ms Poulter survives the attack remains to be seen, but it's plain that there is going to be a dark summer full of accusation in The Fruit Bowl.

There is also set to be a spooky time later this year, with two familiar faces making returns in time for Halloween.
Notorious villains Dr Cox and Lillie are set to make spine tingling comebacks, despite being killed off over a year ago.
The circumstances surrounding their reappearances are yet to be revealed, but it's fair to say there will be some creepy goings on come October 31st!
Dr Cox became The Fruit Bowl's most infamous villain when he began leading a double life as a local lovelorn medic and a serial killer. During his reign, he bumped off six mainstream characters, including foul mouthed Jeannie and long suffering Poppy.
Lillie meanwhile, was at the centre of one of the Fruit Bowl's most popular storylines when she led a heartbreaking bullying campaign against Sarah. She later took control of the village and led a destructive revenge campaign that the villagers are unlikely to ever forget.
Both departed the Fruit Bowl back in Season Ten after Dr Cox made a final, ghostly appearance to plague Lillie, who had earlier killed him while Lillie was pushed to her death by Ms poulter in the dramatic 100th issue.
Both have since made fleeting comebacks in the spin off:'Heavenly Cox' which saw them up to their old tricks in the afterlife.

Ms Poulter meanwhile, has been The Fruit Bowl's longest serving villain. Making her first appearance near the beginning of the first season, she made several enemies and caused a deadly explosion to rip through the pub. She is arguably most hated however for her vicious stunt that broke up the marriage of popular couple Paula and Mr Stanton.

The Fruit Bowl Season 15

Today is the official beginning date of The Fruit Bowl's fifteenth season.
The last time we saw the inhabitants of Panda Stripe Village we were left wondering if Luco would survive his fall andif Siobhan could rescue Charmaine from the clutches of her father.
Season Fifteen, Issue One is now available for sale and contains an exclusive interview with the devilish Ms Poulter.
There are ten issues in Season Fifteen. All are expected to have been released at the latest date of May 30th

Manic Monday

Give a man a bank holiday and he'll do the gardening.
Easter Monday and one of the busiest days of the year for the store I work in. And today didn't disappoint, for want of a better word.
They came in their busloads, filled the aisles, complained their hardest then left.
Due to several rota eff ups, we were left shorter staffed than we had hoped and consequently I was left to man the customer coming to have a go desk alone for the large quantity of my shift.
It didn't help that I had made a grievous error when serving someone that I also had to sort out.
The only thing positive about a day of stress at work is the feeling of arriving home with two days off ahead.
And I plan to enjoy them!

Tis the season to be...overheated...

Jovial anticiaption is often something widely associated with the approach of summer. Out of the icy, dark clutches of a gloomy winter and heading towards sunnier, brighter days. How can you possibly complain?
Aside from the guarantee of a minimum of 6 weeks freedom from school, I, being the pessimist that I am, fail to see the appeal of summer.
In fact, quite the opposite. I can come up with a giant's handful of negative points.
Firstly, there's the heat. An overpowering, headache inducing ball of fire blazing down upon you is not what I would deem relaxing. Being soaked and consequently sticky with sweat and hardly being able to breath for the clamminess of the atmosphere is something I'm not too fond of. I've never been a fan of the heat, I just can't handle it.
Secondly, it makes you feel like a loser to use your computer. It seems to be a general law that everyone should like running onto the beach and getting sand in crevices you never knew you had but i for one am still just as content to use my computer when needs be. problem is in summer, you get the arguments of 'oh it's so nice outside' and therefore, can't even log on for five minutes without being called a killjoy!
Then there are the tourists! Living in a historical AND commercial area does not bode well if you want a quiet and speedy transaction for a loaf of bread or a much needed chilled drink. They are EVERYWHERE. Bumping into you withoout the courtesy of an apology and wearing ridiculous mismatched backwards caps, sunglesses, flowery or dragon covered shirts and shorts which leave bony, hairy, scabby legs to the full view of everyone, they are my least favourite summer species...
...except of course, WASPS! Those evil beings torment you at every twist and turn. Their mere prescence in the corner of a room is enough to drive me to the other end of the house. And, summer being the one season you really NEED ice cream and cold but fruity drinks, it is a tad irritating to have a wasp pestering you whenever you try to sample one of these delights.
Retail becomes busier and more hectic, something which doesn't do much for my job. Pair this with my least favourite type of customer (aside, obviously from the sad, moaning bastards that are quite frequent) and it isn;t a pleasurable result. The customer type I speak of is the nippy purchaser of plants. My heart plummets majorly when I see a customer approach with a trolley full of plants. Bagging them is a nightmare. if you so much as touch a leaf they are in uproar that you may have killed it!
Not only that, there are kids plaguing the neighbourhood, making noise and causing ample amounts of mayhem. Back to shop talk, theres a clique of them to throw out every five minutes!
And as a final comment...where's the SNOW in summer eh?
Bah!
Roll on winter...again!

Hooray!

The diary of mr Slug: take two is on the first page of google.
When you search for mr slug. okay, so maybe not the most common of phrases, but I'm still happy!
Next rung on the ladder...to be on page one with the word 'slug'

Easter Weekend

Let the chocolate gorging begin!

But, more importantly to some, I suppose it's also a time to remember when some superior being got hacked onto a wooden cross, died, sealed in a cave with a boulder, moved it and returned to prove how great he was.

I, personally, don'tfollow all the religious hoo-hah, I guess I found it hard to swallow since the first paragraph saying God created a planet and all of it's intricate details in a week, the same amount of time I struggle to get one piece of coursework done.

But enough of the blasphemy, I hope everyone has a very pleasant weekend, whatever you're doing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMMAK!!!!

The bastards are back!

The ugly, sinister looking, venemous, buzzing cretinous creatures I speak of are the wasps that occupy the environment and disrupt our lifestyles every summer.
I have just encountered the firts of these things, and I handled the situation in my typical macho-masculine style.
By leaping off my computer chair and taking a generous amount of paces back.
Reasonably, I couldn't sit at my computer, knowing that thing was barely a yard from my face!
Evasive action had to be taken, so I went on the offensive!
Picking up some form of plastic doo-dah, I tip-toed forward (wasps have acute senses you know!) and lashed out before leaping back, in anticipation of a violent reaction.
I had, of course, due to my nervous and somewhat wimp-ish composure, missed the target completely.
And Mr Wasp was not happy!
Buzzing around, searching for the source of it's recent discomfort, it was a wasp on a mission.There was very little I could do except wait patiently...and hope desperately...for it to stop.
It eventually did and I stepped forward for a second attempt. This time I hit the target. I noticed when I shakingly peeled the curtain back, that it wasn't quite dead. I felt it necessary to at least put the bugger out of it's pain, only for it to drop from the window and disappear under the computer table.
Even if it is reasonably out of action, cruel as it is, there is NO WAY that I am crawling under there to put it out of it's misery!

Pop round and pay a visit to gemmaks-ville, which is 2 years old today!

Happy Birthday!!!

An insight into the female brain...

All you philosophers and travellers on a quest to come up with the answer, don't get excited. I'm no wiser of the solution than any of you.
Emphasised during several situations lately, I must admit that I am as clueless as to what rushes through the mind of a female being as the rest of the male population (and possibly most of the female)
This ignorance can be, at times, very frustrating. Their flustered and often contradictory manners make discussion of a poignant kind slow moving and confusing.
So, I beg the question, anyone who has succeeded in marginally figuring out the psychology of a female, please wing your findings down this end.
Because I would LOVE to know!

A well earned break!

This week began a two week release from the trials and tribulations of school life. Yes Easter half term is upon us at last, and boy am I ready for it!
The past few weeks have been full of ups and downs and certainly a huge amount of stress and fatigue has resulted from this.
Thankfully, I have been left with barely any holiday tasks to complete for subjects; something which knocked me with a great sensation of pleasant surprise.
I don't even have too many work shifts so I can use these two weeks for a few simple purposes. namely to relax, slob out, contemplate the copious amounts of 'stuff' rushing through my head and prepare myself for the last hurdle of the school year, namely the exams.
When I say PREPARE, I do not mean revise. I mean chill out so I am ready to revise when I get back!
For me, holidays and revision do not mix!
When I'm not at school, I don't DO school. Period.

I'm not dead so don't panic/celebrate!

This small corner of the world wide web has remained somewhat vacant over the past week as I'm sure any visitors happening upon it will have noticed.
I'm still around though, I haven't disappeared off of the face of the planet or anything like that.
Normal service will resume as soon as it is possible!

Day Five

And the culmination of months of work.
This day heralded our two biggest audiences and consequently our two best perfromances. Firstly we put on the show for the middle school children.
But the evening finale was by far the highest point. There was a great audience, a great atmosphere and a great energy and we pulled off a masterpiece.
I even got a gaggle of young fans outside...well first taste of fame and all that jazz.
I think after all the work, we deserved the cherryade and crisps aftershow party...heh
