Big Black Boots

Posted by Nicky on Friday Nov 20, 2009 Under music, randomicky, web gems

So my head has been bits the past two or three weeks but I think it’s not far off being ok now. I’m looking forward to seeing Lis next weekend and having a break from being domestic for a couple of days ;)

Looking for inspiration for something to write about tonight (because I’ve got an itchy blogging muscle) I’ve just had a quick scan of the entries I wrote in November during my first year of blogging and oh-my-god there really was a scary-over-sharey-TMI post. Even my toes cringed. Pleased to say that I won’t be going into that much detail about something like that again.

Saying that, blogging did do some good for me. It gave me some continuity during my nomadic years, and has left me with some awesome friends (did I mention I’m going to see one of them next weekend?) When I’ve been feeling shit I’ve found it can be quite therapeutic to get the crap out of my head and into black and white, even if it’s only to hit the delete button or to lock it up so that only my closest friends can read it (and there’s been times when I’ve been really glad I can do both)…. and even if I don’t lock it there are friends who can read between the lines of babble. There’s probably some psychology in that somewhere.

Of course there’s always music to get lost in… especially when you’re rediscovering old friends in your collection and tracking down that track you’ve always liked from that band. One of them I randomly found in the Boy’s collection…. here’s a vid of it being performed (it shouldn’t auto play so you have a choice whether to watch or not!)

And so I shall hit send on this little bit of self-centredness and go back to stalking people on Facebook….

(ps: I do, indeed, have a pair of big black boots, which I wore when I had long brown hair…. there’s some photos out there somewhere….)

Spin with me

Posted by Nicky on Monday Nov 2, 2009 Under nights oot

So as half of the country seems to be disappearing under water, you can take it as given that we’re close to being in that half… and so I’ll talk about something else instead.

Did you go out on for Halloween? Did you dress up? Did you have an awesome night? Did you take photos? Are you still suffering?

Yes, yes, definitely yes, not enough and yes. Booo.

Oh and I still have Naked in my head, even if it was I got a feeling I was singing on Sunday morning (don’t disown me iLis!). I recall being told that the latter is now mine and my mates “going out song”. Well, if you don’t have a going out song then you’ve nothing to start the night with and nothing to getting drunkenly excited about and dance like a crazy fool to when you’re in the club type place at the end of the night.

Yeah, this has descended into an incoherent second-day-of-hangover blog entry. Must remember I’m not a full time student or outdoor ed instructor anymore – I blame being out of practise at this sort of thing… not that getting old…..

Back to work and making the server complain!
