Yeah so I may be a stranger round these parts these days.
And these days might be a little underexaggerration in place of 'over a month' but a chain of circumstances has left me unable to make regular visits online or have anything I particulalry want to update about.
To say the past month has been a bit of a physical and emotional rollercoaster wouldn't be stretching the truth and suffice to say, there have been some important developments and life changing things going on to and around me but I've crawled my way back to where I was before, in a state of semi-emotional relaxation; if not a medically accurate term, a fair summary of my current feelings.
So what can I say?
Apologies for leaving my blog unattended for so long.
Thanks to those who sent me emails, text messages etc with concerns and enquiries of my well being
And back to business, if I havent been totally abandoned by my *cough* legions of avid fans
Hope everyone is okay, I'll be catching up on all your blogs in the very near future.
Don't get rid of me that easily I'm afraid ;)

Hmm....What the...
A little NHS gem for you.
A relative was rushed to hospital last week when he found he struggled to go to the toilet and so had to stay for a few days.
When the problem was sorted he ended up sat in just his boxers when the highly professional doctor decided to examine his prostate (which for non biologists among you is situated firmly up the male arse)
Once the check was done, said doctors glove was now less than hygenic. You would presume surely that this glove's next destination would be the bin or another disposal unit of some sort. But sadly not.
You can imagine the patient's confusion when the doctor wipes his finger on the hem of his boxer shorts. And, for that matter, the surprise of the gathered audience.
And we wonder why the NHS have a bad reputation?

<3 <3 <3
Cast your mind back a year and picture 'The Diary Of Mr Slug Take Two' and specifically a post related to Valentines Day. Your response is likely to be one of the following.
Either:
1) I didn't go on your blog then
2) or I'm not interested enough in your blog and what you said a year ago to care.
So I'll remind you my stance on the fuzzy lovey day concentrating on couples, which is that it's a commercialised trap forcing couples into showing affection.
I can show affection to my loved one any day of the year and don't see why I can't try and be romantic on any other day except for February 14th but hey, I might as well jump on the bandwagon.
If it makes her smile then its enough for me. Any bigoted opinions I might have on being forced into buying lame gifts and outdoing myself on romantic ideas year after year go out of the window when I see her happy.
So whatever you're doing, whether you're a singleton and staying sensibly sane or a lover and going romantically crazy, Happy Valentines Day to all the readers of 'The Diary Of Mr Slug Take Two'

Not for the faint hearted or animal fanatics among you
I've never been a huge fans of dogs, I'm more of a cat person, they're less likely to leave me mauled if they turn fierce.
Buteven if I hated them with all the fierceness in my heart (which I don't) I still would have chosen not to witness what I ddi the other week.
Small-ish border terrier runs away from 12 year old owner across busy main road. Wanders for a bit until gormless owner whistles him back. Unable to weave tactfully through oncoming traffic, the helpless mutt trots onto the road and is walloped head on by a car.
With a screech, a sickeneing thud, the blur of a rolling form sliding under the car and a heartbreaking squeel of agony, it looks like the dog is no more.
Geez it literally made me feel sick. It was the whine of pain that did it.
It was some resiliant dog mind you. It was soon up thankfully and, while it sported two mashed up broken back legs it was alive and limped back to it's owner.
And to add to the week's violent tragedy, I did something equally as stupid and managed to whack my hip, yes my HIP, off a pillar at work, so hard that it bled.
Talk about that dog being resiliant...I tell you I did well to keep the exploding profanities bubbling up at bay!
Hope you have a nice weekend everyone!

Oh and I just noticed...
...I missed my blog's official birthday!!
As of Monday, The Diary Of Mr Slug Take Two, has been on the web for a year.
Yay!

Snow Day
Those of you who weren't reading my blog this time last year should probably be let into a little secret.
I..just...LOVE..snow!
And, having been hopeless until this point, winter stopped it's teasing and released waves of it in all it's fluffy white goodness yesterday.
I had been obsessively checking weather sites for any signs (not that I'm sad at all, you understand ;)) and, while a day late, the promised goods were delivered.
Marvellous.
Sadly that may be all until next year but hey

RondeDeJambe
Some plugging for a local band who are doing really well these past few weeks.
RondeDeJambe (A ballet term, if you're interested) consists of four talented guys, pulling off some pretty brilliant performances.
Check out their pages when you get a chance and spend five minutes sampling their tunes.
Who knows, they may be the next big thing!

Well I've been a blogger for a year now and, while currently out of steam due to tiredness, I have no doubt my blog will be celebrating it's second year on the web in the future.
But hey, at the moment, I have a bit of a 'blogger's block' and have no inspiration for any posts. Pffft so if it's inundated with the odd meme here and there, bear with me.
When I regain my energy I'll get this thing back on track!

So someone IS on my side...
It was refreshing today to come across a member of authority who would listen and understand me when I spoke to them
The stand in school headteacher offered a non compulsory appointment to see him regarding my regular hospital appointments and the consequent effects on my school life and, much unlike the head of year who had practically condemned me from going to the hospital, he was extremely helpful and supportive.
We reached some solutions together, as equals and he listened and genuinely cared.
And, for the first time in 2 years I have confidence in that school.

Would you bother?
A friend today has gone to audition for trash...sorry, popular show Big Brother, along with millions of hopefuls across the country.
No doubt he will have to contend with semi naked, babbling, violent, insane, sex obsessed, predatory bisexual, mindless freaks to get into the acclaimed building where cameras follow you as you abuse others, climb into as many beds as you can and go to the toilet.
While my friend merely is going for the experience, there will be many there, flowing embarassing desperation for fame. But why? The one person to last in the celebrity stakes from that house is only famous for being mindlessly thick and is that really a satisfactory way to mould a showbiz career? And even she has effectively destroyed it all over again by repeating the performance.
Surely there's better ways to earn riches than making a total twat of yourself on national television and coming out lacking any shred of dignity. Go on Who Wants To Be A millionaire or something and 8 questions or so in and you've exceeded the prize money for surviving 13 long weeks in that institution.
Wonder if he'll have any interesting stories to tell of the people he met today on his return.
Sadly for him, I don't think he's warped or derranged enough to secure a place in there.

Err...ouch actually
This week I've found myself somewhat unfortunately plagued with agonising chest and back pains which have stalled me from doing much except moaning like a little girl.
The ever so helpful GP told me at the peak of the pains just to wait until the weekend...ie put up with the pains for five additional days and if theyre still as bad go to the hospital.
Pfff...it's still as excruciating, but I hope that it's soon away.

New Year; New Hope
A new year works for many people in different ways. For some it is the start of a whole new adventure; they anticipate their coming year with relish and curiosity, eager for what awaits them. For others, it is a more bland affair; pfft what's another year, nothing changes.
I simply see it as an opportunity for a clean slate. I'm not going to wipe out the last year from my memory. I have learned a great deal from things that have happened both to myself and others around me. I have earned one or two close individuals to my heart, and I have had a laugh.
It would be all too easy to look back on the year in a negative stance. It could either be the year I've suffered worst and had to make recurring trips to the hospital. Or it could be the year I've come out fighting and made bold steps to defeat my demons. This is just one example but I know which way I'm looking at it as I come into the new year.
There were so many times over the last year where I sat and moped. Everything had gone to pot, nothing was working as it was, people were stressing me out, events were transpiring against me, I lost this friend, I felt bad about this, I couldn't face such and such...
But, if I'm to make any sort of headway then I have to think positively. SO while my miserable thoughts may not be unfounded, there is so much more to feel positive about.
And at the centre of this positive aura is you lot. My friends who have been there to talk to, turn to and let me feel that I have someone who cares.
I know I've been difficult to get on with last year and a bit of a pain but you're all still here and what more can I do than thank you and promise that whenever required, the favour will be returned.
So...to all of you and you all know who you are, you have had a great effect on me in the past year and further back and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
God only knows where I would have been if it weren't for you all.
And a Happy New Year to all the readers of The Diary Of Mr Slug Take Two

Nice to see the romance hasn't died...
I was serving a guy today who bought a plastic cutlery container for a drawer for 1.99. Tacky and cheap but does the job kinda thing.
"Pop it in a bag for me" he asks.
I put it in a reasonably sized carrier bag but it's also a see through one.
"No, have you got any that aren't see through. It's my wife's christmas present you see and she's in the car"
Well I think it's fair to say that the present he should expect to be dished back is a stinging slap!
Anyway, have a good one guys
A very Merry Christmas to all the readers of The Diary Of Mr Slug Take Two

I do beg pardon
I know yet again I've been very lax in posting here.
Things have been hectic in both positive and negative ways and any moments I've got to myself (which are rare right now) I've spent sleeping, or in the case of last night, suffering an intense bout of sickness.
Can't promise posting will resume to normality for a while yet, but don't forget about me, I'm still alive!! :)
Have a great weekend guys!!

Can I sleep yet?
As commented...okay, okay, WHINGED recently, I have had a fairly busy week and the weekend provided no hold up.
Having performed in two shows on Friday night, the last show concluding at 10.45pm, it was necessary to show face at an hour long aftershow party before the more senior members of the cast and crew finally got to escape and go and get pis...slightly merry.
Dragging my sorry carcass back into the house at approximately 5am on Saturday (I say approximately, it's all very blurry now), I fell asleep in a random clear space on the floor and then had to be awake not long after for a nine hour shift at work.
Not just an ordinary day at work either. A day where christmas shopping is at it's peak. A day which also offered the customer 20% off all goods for the entire weekend. And also a day where we were short staffed. Needless to say chaos ensued and about two hours into the day I was ready for home. I managed to salvage twenty minutes out of my hour long lunch break having finally escaped the mass gangs of demanding individuals so was still rushing about like a madman. Getting home at 9pm, it emerged we were to have visitors...great. I locked myself away and phoned someone, using this as an effective escape route from otherwise unbearable company (no offence guys, I was just SO tired) Off the phone a good while later...yep, they were STILL there!! Bedtime arrived at about 3am.
Sunday, another early rising for work and an even busier day. I got a lunch break so thought, hey I better catch up on some eating. Got to the supermarket, went to the cash point...out of fecking order!!!! Grrr...so, gurgling stomach, I admitted defeat and wandered miserably back to work.
Got home and, starting to feel a bit of deja vu creeping on...you betcha...visitors! AND loads of them.
Me thinking my fake smiles could end at work had to keep up the charade until another late night, ready for school and catching up that the play has left me to contend with.
*sigh* Feeling only a little drained...

Just a spare moment...
...in an otherwise hectic week in which I can post something on here.
It's the week of the show I'm in 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street' and tonight is the last night.
So far it's gone moderately well, with quite a large audience last night greeting our best show so far. We hope to pull out all the stops tonight to make it even better.
I'm also a year older since my last post (well a few days but you know what I mean) having turned 18 on Wednesday.
And even though I didn't want any fuss, it was nice deep down to be the centre of attention for a day!
I'll get back to posting normally next week once the show is out of the way and I've recovered from my imminent wearienss from a heavy night out on Friday, it's effects doubled by a weekend of work.
Have a good weekend, guys!
