What an attention seeker!

I'm using this as an opportunity to rabbit on about the things I'm interested in, namely stand up comedy, the north east of england, travel, photography and fashion.

There will however, undoubtably be times when I type random passing thoughts which have no relevance to anyone or anything really.

where are those pants?

Transport update: I’ve had to write the words: ‘bus pass’ on my hand to remind me to renew the thing. How common.

Random childhood memory: I remember watching an episode of the sitcom Roseanne and thinking ‘why aren’t my jeans like Darlene’s and David’s?’’ (They were all torn at the knees). So I decided to cut my perfectly good jeans. They DID NOT look anything like Darlene’s. I realised that this particular look was most likely achieved through wear and tear. So I started walking around on my knees to try and wear out a second pair of jeans. This only caused red knee caps.

In retrospect I’m pretty sure I could have picked a more inspiring fashion icon.

I am quite miffed because I’ve noticed that missing some items of clothing. I have lost a few things over the years and every time it happens it irritates me immensely. I feel like the pants (for example) are sitting there laughing at me in an elaborate game of hide and seek. Damn you pants and your playful ways!

Here are some things I’ve ‘misplaced’:

  1. A pair of navy Adidas nylon jogging bottoms (lost in 1998)
  2. A jade Green pashmina (left in a friend’s car back in 2006)
  3. A black pashmina (lost in Glitter ball in 2008… I know)
  4. A piece of linen I used as a bandana whilst sunbathing (this was free in a magazine but I’m upset its no longer in my life)
  5. A white T-shirt with a picture of a cat on it (recent loss)
  6. A coral pink Aeropostale hoody most likely left in the gym
  7. My favourite pair of indigo skinny jeans which I love and have lost and am upset about L

Seven is not a usual ‘list’ number but it is the number of heavenly completeness so we’ll go with that.

My flat is a right tip at the moment due to our decorating pursuits, I couldn’t get to half my clothes so I popped on a crumpled up dress I found in the bottom of my wardrobe and some bright red tights which I got fresh off the line, and you know what? I have never had so many compliments for such minimal effort! In your face Darlene!

I have cancelled a couple of up coming gigs on account of other areas of my life needed a wee bit of attention so I haven’t gigged since Tuesday 5th April. My next one is the semi finals at the laughing horse competition next week in London.
How very exciting.

    Hello. I stumbled across your blog earlier today and think it's great. Just had to say I developed the same weird Darlene girl-crush and spent a lot of my early teens scooting around on my knees trying to convincingly 'distress' my jeans too. If anyone still does this, I can highly recommend taking a cheese grater to them. Much kinder on the old knees.

    I sometimes give thing away to charity shops, then find them about 6 months later (in said charity) get all nostalgic and have to buy them again. I now Ebay so there's no awkward reintroductions.
