Sexy Time & an interruption by the Po-Po

Thought I'd interrupt my weeks blogging drought by posting a rather amusing story from last night...


So there I was, midnight and I'm sat in the entrance of a field on a lane, in a car with my sex friend. Like you do.


'Take off your clothes slowly, it'll be sexier'


Thank Christ I did go slow because no sooner than I'd stripped down to my underwear, a car drove past...


Not only did they decide to casually drive past, but they also thought they'd stop, and shine a torch into the car.


- Remember here, that I'm sat in nothing but knickers and a bra!


I look up and out of the window, and see the fluorescent stripes of a police car.

Fucking brilliant.


Naturally I kinda shit myself. He doesn't though, he's totally calm. But then, it's alright for him, he's still fully clothed and it's not like it's his car!


The police's next choice: put on their flashing blue lights. 


I must have pulled on my jeans in about 3 seconds. My fuck buddy's just sat there telling me that they won't do anything, 'chill out, don't worry, they'll probably just go away in a minute...'


To be fair, he was right and after what felt like five minutes, they finally drove off down the lane.


And here ends the story. I was properly paranoid that they'd come back though, so we drove off and found a more concealed (from the road) place to have sexy time... (And it was good)

Worlds Apart

If you've been reading my previous posts you'll know that my little brother was waiting to find out where he was going to be sent on his religious mission for two years. We got the letter on Wednesday telling us he was being 'called to serve' in the Philippines, Angeles Mission. He leaves at the end of September.


Not long.


For those who have no idea where that is... Google Map - Angeles City, Philippines


I'm sure he'll have a fabulous time, but I can't help being sad about it. I'm gonna really miss him - surprising really as it's not as though we spend a huge amount of time together. But then, I can't call or see him at all for two whole years - a pretty long time to be honest.


He's going to one of the most volcaneous areas on the planet. Which I suppose is a little bit concerning.


He'll be right on the Equator, so no doubt he'll come back with an amazing tan - or skin cancer. Haha!


He also gets to learn and speak 'Tagalog' - I googled this, and it's basically the Austronesian language, Filipino. Very similar to Spanish to be honest.


I'll miss him.


But I've got 3 months yet. I don't know if it's better to make a point of spending time with him before he goes, or if that will make it worse because then I'll miss his company.


Either way, I'll miss him.

Angel Wickes Green

I've taken a long time to write this, mainly because I was trying to think of the right words.


A friend of mine lost her baby on the 3rd June 2011. It's an extremely tragic time for her and the family, I hope they find strength and comfort in the people whose thoughts are with them right now.


Ellen has created a Donation page In Memory of her little girl. Donations will be going to Sands, Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity. She has already beaten her original target of £500 in just one day and has now raised it to £1000.


Ellen has decided she is also going to do a Sponsored Sky Dive, and the Bath half marathon all in memory of her little girl.


Please click here to donate to her cause - Just Giving Donation Page


I'm also going to be running a charity ball possibly this year In Memory of Angel, and In Aid of the Sands Charity. Hopefully I can put something worthy together!

A House is a Machine for Living in - Le Corbusier

Just found the most amazing house-buying programme.


Young, Rich & House Hunting


Wow.


Seriously I think I'd do just about anything to live somewhere worth that much! I need to get marrying one of these rich men! Where are these men?! Where!!


Quote of the programme: "I wouldn't want to live this far out. [Hammersmith rather than Chelsea] I may as well live in Bristol!"

Finding Nemo


'A father-son underwater adventure 

featuring Nemo, a boy clownfish, 

stolen from his coral reef home. His 

timid father must then travel to 

Sydney and search Sydney Harbour

to find Nemo.' - IMDb.com




One of my very favourite movies.


Mainly because it's just so calm and seriously relieves stress.


For those who have not yet seen 'Finding Nemo' (seriously wtf are you doing with your life?!)



I must have watched this film literally about a thousand times in the past 8 years.


I just love the picture. It's incredibly well done, Thanks Pixar for teaming up with Disney began loosing their touch around 2000, since then their greatest achievements have definitely been thanks to Pixar!!

I actually have the cuddly toy version
of Squirt here. It talks and everything!!
I recently bought the soundtrack to the movie and love it. It's composed by Thomas Newman - turns he's also done about 87 movie soundtracks, including Wall-E (a lot of similarities in the music in that and Finding Nemo), Little WomenErin Brockovich, Green Mile, Pay It Forward, and The Shawshank Redemption - All of which are favourites of mine.


Though Wiki tells me that Thomas Newman lost many awards for his films because something that had a better soundtrack happened to be out at the same time - For example Hans Zimmer's 'The Lion King', or Howard Shore's 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Watching the Grass Grow...


So I have recently bought myself Season 4 of the TV series 'Weeds'. 


When I buy a season of a TV drama, I tend to re-watch the first few seasons all over again to get back into it. This is what I've been doing for the past 3 days...


The story has definitely gone downhill this season. It's basically moved on from just weed dealing to people trafficking.


Only really great thing about this season is Hunter Parrish (Silus Botwin) - He's all grown up now and seems to be topless rather a lot! Ohh yeeeahh :P


Phwoooarrr!


Possibly I've been single a little bit too long...

Ingredients:

50ml Gordon's gin
10ml bottlegreen Elderflower Cordial
10ml lime juice
6 torn mint leaves
60ml cloudy apple juice
Glass: Highball

Method:

Shake all ingredients with ice
Strain into ice-filled highball glass

So this is my new favourite cocktail! I had it at the 'Bristol Ram' on Park Street, Bristol last night, although I had it without the mint, as I'm really not a fan of that particular herb. 



Prior to 'The Garden of Eden', my favourite cocktail was the cranberry, quantro & vodka filled Cosmopolitan

Motivational Ramblings of a Stranger

Stranger: I am writing this for you. I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it’s not. I am writing this for you.I want you to know, life…it’s hard. Every day can be a challenge.It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps me going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.You should be happy. You are gorgeous. I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose.But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun’s warm rays on your face. Or that cold February wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means? You are alive.

Sex on the Beach

Don't grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.” - Michelle Held



An ironic statement seeing as when I was younger, I didn't really like the beach much. I have major hate for sand. I'm all good walking on it or whatever, but it gets EVERYWHERE. Like in your shoes and clothes and food and car. Literally EVERYWHERE.


Well the reason for this blog, is that I'm majorly craving beach time due to the boiling hot sunshine in England right now. A spontaneous beach trip is definitely on the agenda atm!


I totally need to get myself a decent swim suit though, the most difficult challenge of the season...


Not only do you get stupid amount of choice - there's what like, bikinis, tankinis, one pieces, two-pieces, swim dresses, swim shorts etc etc - but then it's gotta fit you, and suit you, and not ride up, or down, and be the right colour and design, and have good straps, not be too short, or overly revealing... it's just a total nightmare!




Which brings me onto Sex...


Sex on the Beach.


So I think the beach is just about one of the only places I haven't done it!


Just found a rather amusing article...
The Mirror's 'Sex on the Beach' - How to


I can't get over the 'Getting Together' - a.k.a. Dogging - section in this article. Brilliant!

Most importantly for getting in the summer mood is of course...


The Cocktail.


1 x Peach Snapps
2 x Vodka
2 x Orange Juice
2 x Cranberry Juice






Gotta love the Summer Tunes!




Called To Serve...

So, my 18 year old brother just send off his Mormon mission papers. This means that some time this week he should be receiving his 'Mission Call' - the letter requesting him to serve as a mormon missionary somewhere in the world for two years.


I don't know quite how I feel about my little brother disappearing off for two whole years somewhere - potentially just across the country, yet his family and friends are unable to visit, or call (except on mother's day and christmas).


I suppose I'd rather he went further away to be honest, at least then it's not like I could just pop to Scotland (where my cousin currently is on his mission) to see him.


I suppose there's only a few days before we all find out...
