Call me obsessed with Ronnie (because I am) But I just had to post a congratulations for his one year anniversary since starting his hilarious, witty, fun lovin blog!!!
Ya'll know how much I love that fella, so I'm not gonna go on and on about it!
But I've said this before, and I will say it again... if you haven't discovered Vent yet, then WHAT THE HELL HAVE YA BEEN DOING???!!! Get your arse over there and meet him! You've already missed a whole year ffs!
You rock Ronnie! And I look forward to knowing you in many more years to come! xx
Ahhh! The other day when I posted that I was bored and desperate for a meme... I just so happened to get a visit from a blogger who I had never met before with the perfect solution for my boredom!!
What a coinkadink!!!
Her name is Misssy M and she randomly landed on my blog through a little project she had set for herself, (Perfect timing!) which I gotta say... is a bloody great idea!!!
Thanks Misssy Moo! I'm looking forward to having you as a new blogger buddy!!!
Now! Misssy explained in her post how since starting her blog she had blogger friends coming and going. One of them being Peach!!! Who is also a very dear friend of mine and I too was sad to see her go, but I am happy to still have contact with her via facebook and email!
Misssy states that during her blogging experience she has realised 5 things, which I wish to repeat because I believe we ALL can relate to these things...
1. That she'd become set in her ways in the blogs she read.Me tooo!
2. That she hadn’t been actively looking for new good stuff so it was all her fault. Guilty!
3. That she pretty much ignored people’s blogrolls, which is a bit stupid. It's too easy not to!
4. That good blogs are bloody hard to find (there’s some right shite out there, isn’t there? If you don't believe me try Stumble Upon and you'll see...). Tis true, Tis true! Like this one time... while I was surfing the blog sphere I clicked on a blog titled 'cutie pies!' Me expecting to find a sweet innocent blog full of cute stuff like animals or babies and things was shocked to find a blog full of gay pornography!!! DOODLES and BUMSEX EVERYWHERE!!! *cringes* My poor virgin eyes!
5. That you can’t rely on your old favourites to keep on keeping on, you’ve got to seek out new favourites once in a while. So true!
6. And that she can’t count. *GiGGLeS*
So she started this meme to gee us all up! It’s called Kick your Blogroll up the Arse.
The Rules of Kick Your Blogroll Up the Arse
(Hint: This is the cut out bit for you to post)
What you do is you go to four of your favourite blogs and pick a blog from their blogroll that you’ve never visited or commented on.
You then add them to your blogroll or feed, read them for at least a month (by which time there should be no turning back) and give them a chance to invade your life.
Then you duplicate the main part of this post with a note on whose blog you got it from.
Stick the four new blogs you are going to read up , tell us briefly why you chose them and whose blogroll they came from.
And if you want, coerce others mercilessly into joining in. Then start reading.
OK! So... I have chosen these:
First I went to Ronnies blogroll because I knew it would be safe to pick ANY ONE of his readers! Because anyone that follows Ronnies blog is MOST LIKELY going to have a great sense of humour! So! The person I randomly chose from his blogroll was...
Leesa!!! Her name caught my eye because it was only yesterday that I met a very lovely lady with the same name... so i took it as a sign! The link led me to her blog 'NEWS FROM FRANCE' and sure enough, I liked what I saw! From what I've read she does have a great sense of humour and apparently she gives out free brownies too! :-P Bwahahaha!!! Ok Maybe not! But if I do some serious sucking up, maybe she'll give me the recipe because they look screen-lickin good!!!! Welcome to my blogroll dear Leesa! Prepare to be stalked! :-)
Next I headed to Aunty Vi's blogroll, because well quite frankly - any friend of hers is a friend of mine! So the victim I chose...
Fwengebola!!! Ok so I cheated a little here! Because there were soooo many to chose from - I got Aunty Vi to recommend someone that she think I might like! Well she proves to know me well because the link led me to his blog 'I HATE THE EARTH' and before I laughed my arse of at his posts, I was already in hysterics at his profile alone, and the gorgeous little photo taken of him at 6 years old!!! HAHA!! (Like a redhead Harry Potter!) Now I also know that he will be on holidays soon and probably wont be posting much for a while, but I like what I see so much that I'm gonna keep him anyway! Welcome to my blogroll Fwengebola! I look forward to reading more of you!
Next I went to Rheas blogroll who is also a witty character and undoubtedly attracts fun attention in her neck of the woods! So many to choose from though, this cowgirl has A LOT of friends!!! So I scrolled down her blogroll and searched for the most appealing blogname I could find! Which was...
Welcome to The Nut House!!! What can I say!!! It sounds like my home! And right at home is how I felt when I entered Shannons blog!!! Anyone who starts a post off with a *Burp* followed by a photo of a DELICIOUS yummy meal... becomes an instant friend of mine! *GiGGLeS* Welcome to my blogroll Shannon! I'll be popping in for dinner often!! :-P
And lastly I stopped by :-Daryl's blogroll to search for my lucky last victim! Daryl also has a good range of friends that share the same interests so I knew I couldn't go wrong! The blogname I chose...
Brit Gal' in the USA!!! Because I love Brits to bits! I love a girl who calls herself Gal' (hehe) and I am curious to know how a Brit Gal' fits in to the new lifestyle of a chilled out place with tornado's after living a high stressed life stuck in traffic! I was impressed with Brit' Gal Sarah's blog! Who is not afraid to do a gruesome post about her toenail being ripped off and sharing the gruesome photos to prove it! Gotta love the gross stuff! :-) Welcome to my Blogroll Brit' Gal!! I can't wait to see more photos! :-D
SO there ya go!! I've adopted 4 new Blogger buddies whether they like it or not! hehehe!
I urge that all my readers do the same too (even if you're a lurker!... Yes you! I can seeee youuuuu! :-P) ... because I do believe it is a very neat little project, and a great way to make some new friends! But I respect that not everybody may have the time or even the desire to meet new people at this stage... so I shall leave the ball in your court!
Thanks again Misssy Moo!!
OTHERWISE...
I've just discovered from the lovely Lady in Red another great little way to find great blogs from an amazing little widget named 'BLACK BOXES' created by a very talented lady named Caroline Smailes!
It's incredible!!! All ya gotta do is click on the decide button... select your choices from choice A and choice B and it will take you to a mystery blog!!! It is very addictive and all the rage at the moment!
You can also contribute your own choices and put in your URL for others to land on your blog too!
OMG!!! Well as some of you already know... my dear real life mate Trub had been expecting to have a baby any day now!!
I was actually chatting with her on msn at around 1:30am this morning when she went into labour!!! (I couldn't sleep because of my snoring Hubby and snoring cat as I spoke about in the post below!)
So I was immediately overwhelmed with the thought of the baby coming, and I asked that she and her partner 'Crazy' keep me informed with what was going on!
At around 2am they called me from the hospital to say that the baby was definitely going to be born very soon! I actually live quite near the hospital... so Crazy ducked over to pick me up and brought me back to the birthing suite where I got to watch THE WHOLE THING!!!!!
It all happened so fast! AT first I thought "OMFG Giggle what the hell are you thinking! You're going to witness the horrendous pain that I myself will have to experience only months away, and there is no bloody turning back now!!!"
But it was really quite a comforting experience (if you know what the hell I mean!)
Trub did awesome!!! At first she was calmer than me!!! She was the one telling ME to relax and to 'breathe in and breathe out!' I thought 'Hang on! Isn't this suppose to be the other way around!?' LOL! But when I finally pulled myself together and trusted that she was in good hands, I relaxed a lot more for her.
After all is was HER in labour and not me! heehee!
I sat with her through her contractions... her screaming in agony (the poor poor darling) and I was blown away with how polite she could be to the midwives while under so much pain!!!
She helped me understand so much that I had no idea about, and talked me through the process of what was happening and what to expect next! She's AMAZING I tell ya!!! AMAZING!!!!
So at 3:47am this morning out popped a beautiful baby boy!
She even gave birth on her DUE DATE! Which is pretty rare!
I thought I was gonna be scared off for life watching the baby come out... but when I saw the head... I just could not look away! And I wasn't freaked out at all! It was very overwhelming actually, and surprisingly I found it very comforting!
In fact! It wasn't any where near as bad as had ever imagined it to be! So I am sooo glad that I was there, and so, so privileged to share this experience with them. Thanks Darlings!!! It's one experience I'll NEVER FORGET!!!
Trub will be seeing the doctor some time this morning, as bub is not quite in the clear yet (with the scare of a gap in bubs scull that showed up in her scans.)
But I feel he is gonna be fine... because he looks absolutely perfect!!! :-)
Sorry... I haven't a piccy to show ya's yet! I rushed out so fast I forgot to grab my camera!
But I'm sure Trub will post some soon and with more details on the gorjus little bundle of joy!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TRUB AND CRAZY!!!!
He's beautiful!!!
(I hope this has made sense... I haven't been to bed yet so I'm a bit of a zombie at the moment!!)
So it's hard enuff to sleep with my humongous ever growing belly!!!
No! This pic is NOT of a white and green puffer fish that swallowed a watermelon... it is of me!
A very pregnant me!!!
I've gained about 10kilos, my hips thighs and arse have ballooned, my feet are starting to swell, my BOOBS are in a world of their own, and my belly... well! You can see the evidence!
I look like a flippin oompaloompa ffs!
But it all comes with the pregnancy eh?!
And I am only gonna get BIGGER for fucksake!
So as I was saying... it's hard enough to sleep how it is!!
And then theres all the kicking that comes with it, just as I finally get comfy to nod off!
I'm telling ya... this kid is the next David Beckham! Or a flamin famous Kick boxer which I don't know any names of!!
I mean just look at the legs on this kid...
They are flippin HUUUUUGE!
We're even seeing footprints now - pushing out of my belly!!! It's insane!
But anyway... it makes it harder for me to sleep.
Then there is that point where I've finally got myself into a comfy position both for me and for the belly grub after it's kicking has finally calmed down and at last I'm heading off to la-la land.
And then it happens...
The horrid sound of a big fat boar snorting continuously in MY EAR!!!
Yes my friends... HUBBY'S SNORING!!!
I love that fella to death but HECK his snore is horrendous!! It's so flippin loud even HE wakes up at the sound of it and just about craps himself because he thinks he is under ATTACK!!
It all starts with this high pitched little whistle in his nose... which sounds like a boiling kettle in the distance!
That is the warning sign for me where I have to think quick to get myself to sleep fast before the earthquake begins!!
But I never beat it ffs!
So after kicking him a few times and putting a peg on his nose (yes I keep a peg by my side of the bed!) and there STILL is no stopping it. It is then that I will move to the couch in the lounge room!
Again... I get myself comfy and wait for the baby to settle down now having Albert snuggled up on my lap (our latest addition adopted cat) and all is fine and dandy.
When I hear more snoring!
AT first I think "Flippin HECK! Hubby's snoring is seeping through the bedroom door now!!"
But it wasn't... it wasn't Hubby at all!
I followed the sound of this new annoying snore and was surprised to find that it was coming from...
THIS FELLA!...
ALBERT!!!! The snoring CAT!!
OK... I have had 8 different Cats now, and not one have them have snored! Have you ever heard of such a thing!?!!?!!!!??
And I don't mean just a little heavy breathing either - I mean full on hog snorting, nose whistling SNORING! (OK not as bad as hubby's but close enough!!)
Seriously... He has the actions to it and everything, he lays on his back belly up with a mouth like a flytrap, gut moving in and out to the motion of his snore and his paws twitching to his little snorts!
I am sooooo waiting for him to do it again, so i can video tape it and post it! I sware he is a freak of nature!!
But in the meantime... where the heck am I gunna sleep!!!!?
Shyeah! I'm bored as heck and I seriously have NOTHING to post about for once! I mean NOTHING!
Someone give me a meme or something ffs! Put me out of my MYSERY PLEASE!!!
I am sooo bored that I started going around to blogger profiles and checking out their 'random question' sectons and their answers to them! Heck they were some hilarious ones!
So I'm curious... tell me what yours is?
(You know what I'm talking about right? in your profile?)
For instance - my random question is:
'For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:'
My Answer : "Thanks Aunty Vi, but I woulda prefered a rabbit shaped as something else!"
(It's a personal joke that only her readers will understand!) LOL
Yes... this piccy is of me when I was little having a nynybys!
I was going through all my poems and stuff that I had written years ago, and I came across this one that I thought I might share with ya's !
I wrote this poem when I was about 10 - 11 years old, but that's all I'll say for now... have a read of it and then I will explain!...
A SAD STORY
I’d like to tell a story, a story like no other, It is about someone who was a Daughter and a Mother. She spoke another language, and couldn’t speak her mind, She always kept to herself and was never unkind.
Her children were killed not long ago, her Mother murdered too, She saw the whole thing happen, there was nothing she could do. She’d stay out of peoples way, and traveled all alone, She’d hide in dark places and had nothing to call her own.
She had no friends or family, no one knew she was alive, Her only goal in life, was just simply to survive. No body ever knew her; this really makes me cry, The only time I saw her, was when I watched her die.
This isn’t just some poem; this story is very real, Now take some time to think, how does this make you feel? Well I don’t know about you, but it makes me really sad, It makes me feel so selfish, of the bad life that she’s had.
Now there is much more to this story, and I think you just might find, That once you read this next bit you’ll probably change your mind. You see, she was a cockroach; she didn’t have a name, Now ask yourself this honestly - do you still feel the same?
Now that you know the truth, you probably feel relief, You may think she was just some pest, not even worth the grief. But to me she was much more; she was just like you or me, The only difference about her was that she was treated differently.
If this was someone you knew, it’d feel like a nightmare, But at least they’d be remembered, and people would really care. For a cockroach its different, no one really gives a shit, They are treated like a piece of scum, and I’m so fed up with it.
Well I want you to remember, next time you see one flee, That cockroach is running, because it just wants to be free. Now you could either stomp it, or kill it with some spray,
But it’s not out there to hurt you, so just let it run away!
Giggle!
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about obsessed with all animals great and small eh?!
I can laugh about this now (but I will still never harm any creature) but at the time, I was just a child, and I remember being in the kitchen when Mum spotted a cockroach and grabbed the spray to kill it!
I watched it die, and my heart completely broke! I was so distraught, that I ran and locked myself in my room and bawld my eyes out! It was then that I picked up a pen and wrote this poem!!!
YES! That's right kids! Giggle get's lucky *GiGGLeS*
This has got to be the LONGEST RAT GiRL episode EVER!!!
It's a love story movie length special (over 50 FRAMES!!!) about how Hubby and I met, and it took me a DAMN long time to make it and upload it! *Phew*!!
It's mine and Hubbys anniversary month! We celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks, and since we are broke and I can't buy him a gift, I've made this episode as a tribute to him! (The best things in life are free!)
And I hope to publish the 'Wedding Special' on the day of our 2nd Anniversary!
(We'll see how it goes!)
So, gather 'round kids! Get your popcorn, make yourself comfy, be patient and let it load, don't rush through it and TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!
Because this episode is extra special to me, and I've worked too damn hard on it to have anybody miss it!!!
