Oh my. I'm currently under the spell of the world's worst cold. Ok, well, that might be some exaggeration but it's definitely not fun. I can't remember the last time i sneezed this much with a cold, i'm very much a 'stuffy nose and head' sorta gal usually but i've got the whole kit and kaboodle this time; stuffy nose, sore head, sore throat, complete lack of appetite, exhausted even though i slept for practically years and had a lie in and sneezing until the cows come home. i hope they come home soon because my ears keep popping and i can't hear very well, which just ADDS to the delightfulness of my life right now, as you can imagine :D
the annoying thing about attempting to write a daily blog is that it will eventually bring to your attention the fact you do so little over the holidays. this is what is happening to me now, as you can see by the far-too-long paragraph describing my cold; the lack of events to report on has become SO dire that i rely on an illness to entertain. I suppose it's a challenge on my ability to write- if i can make a common cold interesting then i must be at least somewhat capable of writing well :) There's far too little going on in my life right now, however, and i cannot wait until i'm back in Canters, where there's always something going on or someone to be seeing or some kind of situation with some kind of gossip! I love being at home, and it's been lovely spending so much time with Kage and Fozz but i just need to be in a place where things happen. and that's certainly not Beccles.
Dad's just come in from work so i'm going to go get some much needed molly-coddling. I'm definitely one of those people who needs love, care, attention and sympathy when i'm ill... And often when i'm not :)

Nicknames
There’s a girl I know with 3 established nicknames, all of which are commonly used, so much so that her real name is barely used. My brother’s nickname, Fozz, has eclipsed his actual name to a point where even his teachers call him ‘Fozz’. My sister’s name is now Kage, EVEN MY PARENTS have Pandy. And yet I have none. I am Amy. Amy Victoria, if I misbehave a tad. Well, no, that’s a lie. In the past I’ve been Little G, Action Girl George, (although I don’t count the latter as a nickname because it’s part of my actual name) Jorg and most recently OGAG (Original Gangster Amy George). But none of them stick. None of them have replaced my name. And I’ve always wanted a naturally occurring name replacing nickname.
One of my mates told me that I should kill two birds with one stone and get a boyfriend, and therein I would find a nickname because all couples have lovely little nicknames for each other and of the couples I know this is true, and aforementioned friend has a point. But at the same time wanting a relationship for the sake of a silly name seems...well, ever so slightly fickle. And pathetic...mostly pathetic.
Plus I want a name that my mates can have on their phones. My phone book makes no sense- and that’s how a phone book should be!Mine’s filled with Connifer, Markworth, Crudenforth, Tedworth, Pandy, Old People, Fozzatron, Kage, Sensational JG, Crowford, Mapez, Bailes, Marjori, Spoon. I had to save my parents number under ‘Mum&Dad’ though, because Kage pointed out what if I was in an accident and someone tried to use my phone to contact my mum & dad- how would they know they’re under ‘Old People’ or ‘Pandy’?. Well, they wouldn’t!
But i’ve come up with a theory as to why I havnae been given a keeper of a nickname- because it’s my job to dish them out!!all of the long-lasting nicknames amongst friends at home and family have been created by me- Fozz’s adapted into Fozztron, Pat and Andy became PANDY, Katie was Kage, Gav became Marjori. It all really comes down to the fact that I have an affliction wherein I can’t call people by their real names, whilst everyone else around actually can make do with real nameage- hence why no one’s thought “Hey, Amy- let’s give you a name that’s not Amy!”
But having said which i would quite like one.
Who knows? Maybe i’ll get one for my birthday. It’s only a month and 27 days away
...
I think.

Where did the days go?
i'm so confused right now.
Woke up, and my fluffatron Charlie was next to me, the sun was shining through my curtains and the whole house was silent. I figured i must have woken up kinda early cos Charlie always gets off of my bed at like 9:30 to get something to eat, and if it were later Kage would be back
I felt kinda headachey still, and my throat hurt- tbh i felt hungover, which was strange cos i'd hadnae anything to drink the night before, but this has actually been happening to me more and more recently so i didn't worry too much
blindly fumbled for my phone, which i managed to drop twice before i actually got a firm grip on it
and saw that it was 12:30 in the afternoon.
WTF?????!!!!!!where's the day gone?!?! my sleeping pattern is severely mucked up now, which is annoying cos it was fine in Canters!!but since i've been home i've been getting to sleep at 2-3am and not waking up til gone 11!!
STUPID BODY MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!
(sigh)
Today will be an amusing mixture of nothing/uselessness on my part- i'm looking forward to it :D

What happens when i try to be creative
Thrilling stuff, right?If Rolf Harris directed the 'Intergalactic' video for Beastie Boys i reckon it'd look like this.
Whatever happened to Rolf?
i wonder...
more info on the trying to be creative thing later.
For now...well, enjoy 'Catbot'. maybe i should get him patented. Duncan Bannatyne might try to steal him and make millions.
Or Sir Alan Sugar. But that's be cool.

On the first day of January, i cried my eyes out
And so the first day of 2010 is over. and i'm going to try and make sure i don't cry even half as much as i did today!!
Don't worry- it's not because things were awful and i'm not about to whine- i'm trying to cut down, remember? It was because David Tennant left Doctor Who today. Well, technically speaking he didn't leave TODAY, i mean he left ages ago, it's just the episode was shown today. AND, technically speaking HE didn't leave the show, his CHARACTER did...didn't even leave really, regenerated...anyhoo, the point of it is Russell T Davies and David Tennant shall not be tag teaming my television anymore- and this makes me feel like boo-hooing until i have none tears left to boo-to-the-hoo
HOWEVER they didn't blow up the TARDIS- indeed during the regeneration process it got a tad mullered, but in the trailer for the next series (which i'll go on to shortly) i was there in it's shining glory- but with a very pretty and new interior design :D some muppet had obviously got wind of pyrotechnics being let off on the TARDIS stage and assumed the worst...they were probably from The Daily Mail, that place is BRIMMING with useless itinerary mistaken for 'news'. and Amanda Platell (shudders).
AND Matt Smith didn't annoy me. Which is good. BARE IN MIND when i first saw David Tennant as The Doctor (i was furious because i absolutely LOVED Christopher Eccleston) i hated him!! when he said "Where was i? oh yes- Barcelona!' i was like "yeah...no." but i actually liked this guy! and the trailer for next series actually looks pretty buff ting- NOWT TO WORRY BOUT :D
I've decided not to use twitter so much (if i can!!ADDICT) because it means i don't have much to write on here- pretty much everything in this blog can be found on my twitter, so if people read both they'll be like "Oh, Amy, this is old news. BORED." and will either stop following me on twitter and read this blog, stop reading this blog and follow me on twitter, OR come to their senses and realise that nothing i have to say is of great importance or consequence to anybody and severe all ties with my useless wittering...here's hoping the latter does not win out :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR ECLIPSED BY DAVID TENNANT LEAVING DOCTOR WHO DAY!!
this blog may come across as slightly disjointed- this is because i'm currently watching Eli throw min and Kage's teddies around our bedroom, whilst Uncle Fozz 'saves them'. There's two monkeys, according to Eli although where these monkeys have come from i have no idea. oh, to be three again...
So, 2010. ALRIIIIGHT. this year promises to be pretty big, really. Off the top of my head the things that should be occurring involve me leaving the wonder years of teen behind me and turning 20; HOPEFULLY going to Reading for the first time if all things go to plan (fingers crossed!!); and in the latter part of 2010 starting my third and final year of university...OH MY WORD.
hang on- eli wants to play on cbeebies, i'll finish writing in a bit :)
tHERE WE GO, BLESS HI- oh wait, it would appear he hit my caps lock button, sorry! little lad's so lovely ^^
Last night was pretty much amazing. Went to my older sisters and brother-in-laws whilst Pandy took care of Eli at ours, so we could have a few drinks and be as loud as we wanted :) vic and john live out in the country, in the middle of nowehere so we had no people to disturb- it was ace!! we all (it was me, kage, jack, fozz, vic, john and their friend catherine) had to pick three songs for everyone to dance to. Mine changed like 1000 times before we actually got there an ended up being 'What is love?' by Haddaway (i love this song so much kage used to play it everytime i came back from uni!), 'Dragonstea Din Tei' by Ozone (and freaked vic out cos i knew all the words!!) and then 'Scatman' by Scatman John (TUUUUNNEEEE!!!). we danced for like 2-3 hours non-stop, some amazing choices made by the others were 'Larger than Life' by the Backstreet Boys, 'No Good' by The Prodigy and 'Logical Song' by Scooter :D
As midnight approached we had the tricky task of deciding what song was gonna bring us into a new decade- Vicki geniusesly chose 'Rollin' by Limp Bizkit, and we all set about rockin' our way into 2010 :) then for the rest of the night we spent dancing, me and Vic harmonised to Phil Collins, Beyonce and Shakira and The Beatles- what can i say? we're eclectic- and then laughing at Fozz who was MULLERED. It was absolutely brilliant. His best moments were telling us constantly he was 'Gong Show' (which we assumed meant 'gone'), saying 'you're a dickhead...no, i don't mean it, i don't mean to be violent' and his theory of sheep, which you'll see amongst the quotage that took place last night;
Fozz: Right- did you kow? Sheep outnumber people in New Zealand by loads, ok-million, right? MILLIONS. And if they were clever enough, right- they could overthrow the country. And if New Zealand falls, man- then WE ARE FUCKED.

John: (about Nuns) That's what they call themselves- God's whores
31/12/09
('Jump Around' begins playing, and everyone begins jumping, except from Vicki)
Vic:I don't jump until the chorus because i'm a purist.
1/1/10
('Freed from Desire' by Gala is playing)
#My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs#
Jack: He's got his trampoline??!!
Fozz: Right- did you kow? Sheep outnumber people in New Zealand by loads, ok-million, right? MILLIONS. And if they were clever enough, right- they could overthrow the country. And if New Zealand falls, man- then WE ARE FUCKED.
1/1/10
Vic: Find something that makes you FAGULOUS!!
So yeah... it was pretty fantastic :D
Panders came and picked us up at 1, and Kage stayed round Jack's so i had the lovely duty of taking care of our fallen brother- at one point when i was feeding Charlie he came and lay down on the kitchen floor, then declaring 'My face is cold'!! we sat and watched a bit of JPark- we wanted it to be the first film we saw for this decade like the geeks we are- then watched JPark3 instead. I had a few texts and missed calls from people which made me feel popular, and sat down happy as Larry with a cup of tea, basking in the light of Sam Neil and hoping Fozz didn't throw up as i didn't really feel like cleaning up other people's sick- the phrase 'start as you mean to go on' was echoing in the back of my mind...
And now everyone's round ours, and i'm feeling rather melancholy. this is because Doctor Who is on tonight, and while i'm desperate to see what happens with the whole RETURN OF THE TIME LORDS!!! situation (i'm not gonna pander to spoiler alerts- if you haven't seen it by now that means you don't care so won't care that i said what happened!) but i am going to be beyond devastated by the end of it. Kage understands- she's purposefully not going to Jack's til later so she can be my shoulder to cry on!!THAT'S LOVE, PEOPLE!!RIGHT THERE!
Oh, God, it's going to be so awful...
and if they DARE blow up the TARDIS (see here for more detail; http://amyvictoriageorge.blogspot.com/2009/05/so-so-so-mad-i.html) not only are there going to be letters of complaint, but i will NEVER EVER watch an episode of Doctor Who again. EVER.
...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
