I really just said that, didn't I?

I've just noticed that in my previous post I referred to 'sawing at my meat' without a trace of irony. (Do I mean irony? Whatever... you know what I mean.) Last term at work I laughed at a picture of me on the computer in which I was standing in rather an interesting way. I innocently said "Tut - Legs apart and ready for action!" Then I actually considered the words and realised my unintentional slip. Everyone was VERY amused, which leads me to question how I get the reputation as the filthy minded one... Around Christmas I said to this woman I work with 'You're looking unusually stylish." I didn't mean it that way although I admit it was an entirely accurate statement. Sometimes I wonder at some of the things I say.

Open mouth - insert foot.

Merry New Year and all that. I hope everyone had a more exciting New Year than I. I've given up on enjoying myself whilst doing party stuff, so at least my New Year's celebrations are rarely disappointing. I spent yesterday evening drunkenly choosing songs to download for my new(!) ipod. Bollocks to Sony and their sucky mp3 gadget. I wouldn't reccommend this. I've ended up with some of the music from 'Memoirs of a Geisha', the fight theme from 'Star Wars', and more bizarrely, some Prince. Should fit in nicely with The Klaxons and 'My Favourite Things' from The Sound of Music. You have no idea how pleased I was when I found the word 'ecclectic'. (Now just need to check I'm spelling it correctly. Like 'mackerel' and 'avocado'. I'm having trouble with those too.)

I found myself staring at my reflection in the mirror earlier. Now I try not to do this too often for two reasons. Firstly, now I have a fringe I have some seriously interesting hair do options. Never to my knowledge. I think I must sleep on my face every night. Secondly, there's always the strange new facial blemish/spot/hair and more recently, and most alarmingly...wrinkles. Whilst pulling my usual range of grotesque expressions (am I the only one who does this when faced with a mirror?) it occurred to me that I had once read a magazine article explaining how to give yourself a surgery free facelift by simply performing some interesting blow-up sex doll type faces every day. Who would do that?! I plan to grow old gracelessly. Admittedly, I have never looked my age and am annoyingly asked for ID in pubs on occasion. I think I would rather look old than spend 15 minutes every single day looking like an absolute twit gurning in the mirror.

I'm still on holiday until the 11th. Which means that I have no idea what day or date it is. Bliss. Mind you, it'll be be back to evenings and weekends at school again. I have had a sofa delivered to my flat at work so now I can sit on that rather than the floor, my life is suddenly worth living!

New Year's Resolution no. 1: Relinquish unsexy addiction to material goods and cease the purchasing of unnecessary crud!!!

Yeah. I see that happening!
