Marriage and direction - a scary title for scary changes :S
First of all, i'm getting married. Yes, thats right, the girl who said it would never happen to her!

Stoo and i decided last week we were going to go ahead and do it. Its been 12 years and lets face it, between my Nana and Uncle Jim dying two weeks apart from each other, our flat being torched and my little Cousin, Ward dying, not to mention my dad being ill, i think its time we had something to look forward to. We were going to go to New Orleans and have a civil ceremony surrounded by candles, Jazz and eccentric characters. Its perfect for us but then we realised we can have that all at home - with our friends! Only two of my family will be there and none of Stoo's.

Here are the plans:

  • No faffing about. We've made no serious wedding plans
  • Its a road trip - about 50 of us are traveling to Gretna
  • No flowers, cake or even food - we'll find that when we get there!
  • lots of beer
  • All my 'flower gals' are men - apart from Gee, but she ain't a flower gal! She's special!
  • We're making up a new surname
  • On the wedding night, we're all going camping.
  • ... So probably no sex for us, unless we want it on Youtube a couple of days later hahah
  • The only plans we have is that we want 'Don't take me for granted' by Social distortion  played at some point
  • Stoo wants to come down the aisle to Goldberg's entrance music.
  • I'm wearing my corset and a 40's style dress (of course!) and Stoo's wearing a pair of red tartan bondage shorts.
  • We're looking into paint ball battles...
It ain't classy, no. Who cares? We have the rest of our lives together and thats all that matters. We need laughs and we want people to look back at it and think of it as a fun day. Its not about us. Its about all of us doing what we always do.


I'm leaving Ayr Uni to go to Glasgow school of art. I woke this morning and the first thought was NO, i'm not doing it anymore. I hate Maya, animation and just about everything on the damn course. I want to be a designer, an advertiser or photographer. Glasgow's a much cooler place and lets face it, the people are a bit more bloody cheery!!

Thinking of moving. Sure, our flat has lots of bonuses, including the view, which i love so much but its just not big enough. I need a studio and this place is like a shoe box. Maybe.. maybe if i go to Glasgow, i could find some extra space to work? Hmmm... thats got me thinking.
I couldn't leave Ayr because there are too many people i couldn't leave behind.

There is more but its all boring. Still plodding on with the work. Going to start filming next week. Can't wait!

I just searched the lyrics to Don't Take Me For Granted and I can safely say its pretty much you and stoo down to a T. I'm really looking forward to this sausage, I am coping with you marrying someone else :D You'll do it in your own sweet way and it'll be fantastic! I have a pink stetson if its any use to anyone? I has no idea what I wear but I'm fancying a nice gothic gown, whaddya think? Its the best excuse for buying one.

I got a dvd from LoveFilm on Auschwitz, want a copy?
Anywho's! I'm going back to the workload.

It is, isn't it? Even though it isn't supposed to be a love song, stoo was what i associated with the lyrics. I think its because we've been through so much together and at times when things were really tough, the music, the club and our friends, all associated with the song.

Everything from the leather jacket (my long one, used as a sleeping bag for all those years!)
The railroad track at polnessan and how we used to talk about stuff we'd do when we were older. Now the three of us are still friends all these years later
First taste of romance - well, 12 years and even though we've had our problems the last year or so, i still get butterflies (yeah, i know, i'm a poof!)
He told me that i was better than him and not many guys like him got gal's like me, which of course is a load of shite but he still said it and thats in the song.

There isn't one line that can't be interpreted so its perfect. I love Social Distortion.

Hopefully, it'll be good. It'll be a bit random but thats what its all about, eh? hahah Gee, you know theres plenty of me to go around, baby! This won't change nothin'. I'll still be your wifey!

Bring it on! The more accessories, the better! That would be lovely. I know a few places that do some lovely ones. I still don't have a clue about mine. Knowing me it'll be hit or miss on whether i can be bothered to get dressed up. There might be a dress and there might be my battered old black jeans... we'll see!

Of course! I haven't seen it, is it any good?
