Sad turn of events

First sales post!

2009-02-13T01:04:16Z

Everything's under the cut my lovelies!
I am a smoker and I do own a cat. All clothes are clean but I can't guarantee that you won't get a cat hair or two in with them (they're free though!) :-D
The photos might be a bit pants...I'll take more if anyone shows interest.

I accept payment by bank transfer, cheque or cash AYOR.

All prices are all in with 2nd class postage and I will happily negotiate or do deals on multiple purchases. If you live in Sheffield or Leeds and would like to meet up to save on postage I'd be happy to do that too! :-)

Please feel free to ask about whatever you want, I work 9-5 but should be able to get back to you the same day. I am in Leeds this weekend so if you do want anything I may not be able to send it until Monday when I get back.

Black and purple leatherette covered make up case with mirror £5 all in (quite bulky to post)

Pinstripe H&M Jacket Size 10 £5 all in

Punkyfish hoodie size M/L about a 12 max has fairly short sleeves on me but I'm 5'10" diagonal zip and side pocket, both zips are in good condition, this has been worn and is a little bobbly but it's not very noticeable. £6
.

Punkyfish zip up track style top, the tag from the zip has been lost and this is slightly faded on the seems, this has been well loved but is sadly too small for me. There are two small holes on this top but they aren't really noticable, I can take photos if needed £3

Cathouse clip skirt, has been worn quite a lot but still loads of life in it, would fit an 8 to a 14 due to the elasticated clip fastening £9

Spanki mesh top with pink reflective dragon, I imagine that this glows like buggery under uv but I've not worn it for years. The print is in very good condition £6

New Look (kids age 11-12) pink and black t-shirt with face print suitable for a size 6-8 never worn £2.50

PVC and fabric strriped skirt with side zip, size 10 but would also fit a 12, has some stretch £5

Primark corset, worn about twice, plastic boning, pink sateen with lace overlay £3.50

Combination red and black heavy moulded latex top, quite rare, not seen one like it, size S Looks amazing with an underbust corset £25 gutted to let this go but since I lost my favourite corset to wear with this I've just not worn it. :( someone give it a loving home!

Omen black and purple top with tribal print made of neoprene type material. Has reflective tribal print on the sleeves (3/4) one size £5

Cyberdog Gillet size small never worn by me £12

Primark Black skinny jeans size 10 £4

New Look grey skinny jeans size 12 £4

Spank trousers, the zip broke on these and I got halfway through unpicking them when I realised that I'd probably never wear them anyway, bought from niceboots if memory serves me correctly A project for someone perhaps? offers??

Coffin cigarette case, silver metal with an engraved picture of a devil face (similar style to Vince Ray) a little tarnished inside could be cleaned up with polish or something £5

Lot of big rings the eye ring is silver and plastic, the alchemy ones are pewter, these have been knocking around my room for a while but would come up brilliantly with a dremel. Just not my style any more. £10 for all 4 or £3 each

Alarm Clock Text reads, "I'd enjoy the day more if it started later" Never used £4

Mold

2009-01-30T21:41:48Z

I ordered the spore test kit for my autoclave and I'm praying that it comes back clear and I don't have to send it away to be cleaned...if that happens I'll be sending the bill to my bloody landlord. Not that they'll pay, they won't even front up for mouse traps!! Hmmm that's the other thing that's irking me. I don't mind mess but dirt, especially the stuff that gets in your lungs and can make you quite ill...scares the shit outta me!

So all piercing is off for the foreseeable future...this frustrates me immensely. But I have been planning thins and hopefully will be able to get a pro photographer to document my play piercing efforts on the lovely Helena.

The house would be so great if it wasn't so run down, Ruby and Hollie have cleaned and tidied while I've been at work and it looks great and I am happy here...just cold and feeling slightly defeated.

Step Right Up....

Mr Obama and lead your country to something better.

Mr Bush...your reign of terror is over tomorrow. You fucked up! Hopefully what's salvagable can be saved. Your legacy will be a thorn in the side of every president who follows in your wake.

GET FUCKED!

Today has been a combination of nice surprises and crisis' :S

Work have finally set a date for my disciplinary, next wed but I'm pretty sure it's going to be ok because I've just been told that my contract has been made permanent and that I've been approved for my next pay grade. *glee* From December mind so my overdraft is going to have to stay at its limit for a bit longer. :(

When I got home I found water leaking from the celing in the kitchen...more exactly, through the light fitting! The plumber came round within 20 mins of me texting him and has sorted it out, now I just have to wait until my kitchen drys out!

Just had council tax and water bills too...financially this month couldn't be worse but I'm looking forward to going to Zogg on friday and forgetting all about it! :)

Hmmmm that was a bit serious!

2008-10-23T13:01:09Z

I'll be making cake and stuff to make our new house smell all yummy so if you want free cake and tea you should come over this weekend! :)

Rally for Socialism 2008

2008-10-23T12:32:22Z

The next meeting held by the Sheffield branch of the Socialist Party will be at 7.30pm on 6th November at the Grosvner Hotel in Sheffield City Centre. It was a really good turn out last time and you don't have to totally agree with the Socialist Manifesto to find something that Socialism can work for.

I don't want to force anyone to do anything but...if you believe that you can make a difference...get active, do something, apathy is what's killing this society and allowing "them" to take over.

You each have a voice. Come and make it heard! :)

Thanks to everyone who posted links to the download. OMG Mr Reznor you've done it again! Lights in the Sky is my favourite so far, it's lyrics sum up so much for me at the moment.

Lights in the Sky

She's mostly gone,
Some other place,
I'm getting by,
In other ways.
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
try to justify things
I used to do,
believe in you

Watching you drown,
I'll follow you down,
and I am right beside you.
The lights in the sky,
have finally arrived.
I am staying right beside you

I tried to stay away,
you know,
just in case.
I've come to realise that
we all have our place,
Time has a way to know,
to make it clear
I have my role in this
I can't dissapear,
or leave you here.

Watching you drown,
I'll follow you down,
and I am here right beside you,
The lights in the sky are waving goodbye,
I am staying right beside you.

Help needed

2008-05-02T13:41:38Z

I'm moving up into the attic room from my old tiny bedroom now that Josh has moved to Walkley. Does anyone have time this weekend to help me move a bed and some bookshelves? My friend Ruby will be moving into my old room on monday so I need to get all my stuff out in time.

Help will be gratefully recieved and rewarded with cups of tea, wine and beer!!!! *Bribery people, good old fashioned bribery!*

Shaving....

2008-03-22T16:19:44Z

Can anyone recommend a good brand for hair clippers?

I need to invest in something better than my rubbish old ones...the blades are practically none existant.

Ideas asap please...I need to get some by monday...erm...not likely I know but worth a try.

Just spent a lovely hour in the Blue Moon cafe after work having a chat with Greg about promoting Zogg.

The weekend has been hectic, Zogg, where I danced most of the night and managed to get one of my friends royally muntered...I didn't know she was such a lightweight...when she crawled out of the club I ought to have felt slightly guilty....but she had a great night so I can go to sleep with a clear consience!

Working from 10am to 6pm straight after Zogg was an experience...not as bad as I'd thought it would be though! Kebba and miss_joolz hung out with me for most of the weekend, much wine was drunk as usual and much pizza was consumed...can anyone see a pattern emerging!?!

On Sunday I braved my sketchiness and went to the Casbah with Ruby, Skat, scu_le_star and others to try out for an extras part in a new Zombie flick called "Depraved"!!! Not heard back from them but I'm hoping that Scu and Skat get the roles that they went for.

Edit: It seems that I got a extras part as a raver zombie...who'd a thunk it!

:)

I celebrated St Patricks day early by making a beef stew with suede, carrots, shallots, garlic and guiness! Ruby brought pudding and yet more wine was imbibed! NOM!

It's my birthday this week...I'll have been alive for 23 years...not sure how I feel about that!

defiance23 @ 2008-02-24T22:22:00

2008-02-24T22:24:45Z

My weekend has been a fairly mixed bag.

Determined to have a quiet night on Friday I refused to go to Josh, Ali and Jen's birthday party...until I realised that I live with Josh...I'll never get away with not going! Sometime around midnight I stumbled down to Penelope's not in fancy dress and not caring...lots of people did compliment me on my outfit though which made me smile...I should get ready to go out in 10 minutes more often...ahem ok maybe not!
It was lovely to see some friends but at around 3am, I was tired and wanted wine so went back to mine with Ruby...before I knew it I'd demolished a rather large quantity of a mysterious white substance and 2 bottles of wine! Oops...It was 8am and time to get ready to run errands in town boring but necessary, I now have blue hair! Whoop! It was lovely to see octaneglow and Rowan too. :-D

The rest of saturday flew and I managed to get into bed at some time between 10pm and 1am...it's all a bit of a sketchy blur!

Today has been marvelous,
miss_joolz

and I met up with
echo_echo
at Negresco in Manchester before heading off to the Museum of Science and Industry. There was an enormous queue but it didn't take us too long to get our tickets and decided where to go to kill an hour. Looking at steam engines brought back some great childhood memories of being taken to the National Railway Museum in York by my parents. I wasn't so keen on the interactive section of the museum...partly due to the sheer volume of the many children...*shudder.* Some scathing comments and a short walk later (the MoSI was not made for people who wear big shoes, cobbles are the work of the devil!) We were back in the queue to get into the exhibition.

"Body Worlds" is, on the whole a great exhibition, it doesn't change ones perception of death...mearly increases ones awareness of the many wonders that our bodies hide. Anatomy fascinates me, I don't believe that anything should be hidden from those who want to learn...von Hagens is an excellent self promoter but, in my opinion that's not a bad thing as long as you take into account what he is doing, what those have done before him and what we can do in the future. Life is art, death is part of that cycle and can be interpreted and displayed as such...

The coach journey home was very trying...children...how I loathe them! Grrrr....I remember mumbling..."I hear Ritalin is very useful." at one point!

Going to bed now...

Jesus' cosmetic row in Singapore

The lip balm shows Christ flanked by two women (Photo: Blue Q)

A leading retailer in Singapore has withdrawn a cosmetics range with a Jesus theme after complaints from local Roman Catholics, local media report.

The range, named Lookin' Good for Jesus, was on sale at three Topshop outlets in the Asian city state.

Catholics complained the cosmetics' marketing was disrespectful, full of sexual innuendo and trivialised Christianity.

About 15% of Singapore's 4.4 million population is Christian.

The products included a "Virtuous vanilla" lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, featuring a picture of Christ flanked by two adoring women.

"Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It's very disrespectful and distasteful," the Straits Times newspaper quoted accountant Grace Ong, 24, as saying.

A spokesman for the Wing Tai company, which runs Topshop's outlets in Singapore, told the newspaper it did not want to offend its customers, and withdrew the products last month.

It was not clear whether other shops were still selling the range, which is produced by the US-based company, Blue Q.

The weekend was lots of fun, a 70's themed party with some of the folks from Zogg, miss_joolz, Josh and various others was a great way to end my week of training.

The rest of the weekend was relaxed and sunday evening was spent at miss_joolz's delicious salmony pasta with lots of garlic, nommeh! Roll on Friday and the Planet Zogg Valentines Ball followed by Wendyhouse! YEY!

Hope to see some of you there.

This week seems to have flown. I'm really pleased that I'm working even though it's a call centre of doom I'm getting out of the house and it's taking my mind off feeling bad. The test that I had to take today made the hours of note taking worthwhile even though all the facts are not remotely interesting! I passed with 90% though, so I can't complain!

I can't wait to get paid next friday but I'm working on saturday from 10 so I might have to leave Zogg a bit early and make sure I get a few hours of sleep...dealing with customers is not my idea of a good come down! I'll have finished work by 6pm though so hopefully I'll get to Wendyhouse without too much hassle.

Does anyone have any experience with banking with HSBC? I've just opened my account with them but they've messed up a standing order for my rent and the money is now floating somewhere...out of my account but not into my housemates. Can anyone advise? I've tried calling the bank but they say to wait 5 working days to see if it clears...I should have paid my rent on tuesday. I am not very happy!

Really looking forward to the party tonight though.

The weekend starts now, I'll update more next week when I have a clue as to what I'm doing.

Day 1

2008-02-05T19:11:14Z

Work wasn't too bad. I was pleasently surprised to find the computer system very easy to use and most of the staff are pretty cool.

I was going to go to TCF tonight but I'm freezing cold and fancy making a curry and staying in.

In other news, my mum sent me some photos of my Pies today, I miss them so I'm going to visit them tomorrow evening. Yey, Chesterfield! It'll be good to see my parents aswell of course!

BT

2008-02-04T18:34:10Z

Working for BT looks like it's going to be pretty fun and the people who have started at the same time as me seem really nice especially one lass called Jade.

I'll try and make it to TCF tomorrow after my training, is anyone else coming down?

Snow

2008-02-02T09:04:02Z

Snow lovely powdery white wonder!

It makes everything magical!

So glad I have friends who are also insomniacs! Just been up to Walkley with Gordie

http://www.sourcephotography.co.uk/

and his lovely girlfriend Rachel. It was fun to stomp around in the snow and have a chat before heading back to Nether Edge for tea and cigarettes and to warm up. Lilly, Rachel and Gordies ginger pie was as cute as ever, in spite of being a "lampshade head" after being spayed,

I took a photo but I can't find my usb lead anywhere.

On the way home I stopped off at the supermarket for some tasty treats to set me up for the long night ahead, chilli Kettle Chips anyone!?!

defiance23 @ 2008-02-02T02:11:00

2008-02-02T02:24:58Z

It's bloody freezing...I have to venture out of the house on the one day it snows!!! BAH....the hermit thing was working damnit! I was becoming more socially inept than usual but it kept me warm!

Dark Matter was the first time I've been out in 2 weeks. Those of you who read this and know me well know that this is a very rare event!

It was great to see so many people come out for DM, kmrikky and miss_joolz both played storming sets that I really enjoyed and even with a slight sketch it was a good night, it was good to have chance to chat to Richard as well...sorry if I bent your ear!

Looking forward to tomorrow without the sense of impending doom that I felt about it earlier this afternoon. Hope to see some of you there.

If there is anyone still wanting advance tickets I'm sure that the members of Uberbyte still have some to sell!

Still managed to book a holiday though! Germany here I come! *Squee*
