afternoon activities

After posting the lovely pic of Miia, I felt the need to do some more popart! Another fab friend of mine said I could use her face (thanks Mari!) so here is today's creation:

inkscape - proudest moment to date

So I've mentioned Inkscape loads on this blog already, but I thought I'd share the picture I've done that I'm most proud of so far. A wonderful friend of mine, Miia, said I can put her pic up so here goes:

By following a very cool popart tutorial - what do you think?

10 years

10 Years ago on the 24th of July, my life felt like it was over. It had hardly begun, but I was robbed of one of the best friends I ever had. I often wonder what life would be like if she was still around, but funny enough she lives in my mind, 15 and smiling forever. I feel like I ought to be sad, but then why should I? She was amazing and I remember her laughing, and so I think I'll just dedicate a day to her, and have the best day I possibly can!

Nursing Home

Harold is 95 and lives in a Senior Citizen Home.

Every night after dinner, Harold goes to a secluded garden behind the centre to sit and ponder his accomplishments and long life.

One evening, Mildred, age 87, wanders into the garden. They begin to chat and before they know it, several hours have passed.

After a short lull in their conversation, Harold turns to Mildred and asks, "Do you know what I miss most of all?"

She asks, "What?"

"Sex!!" he replies.

Mildred exclaims, "Why you old fart. You couldn't get it up if I held a gun to your head!"

"I know," Harold says, "but it would be nice if a woman just held it for a while."

Well, I can oblige," says Mildred, who unzips his trousers, removes his manhood and proceeds to hold it. Afterward, they agree to meet secretly each night in the garden where they would sit and talk and Mildred would hold Harold's manhood.

Then one night Harold didn't show up at their usual meeting place. Alarmed, Mildred decided to find Harold and make sure he was O.K.

She walked around the Senior Citizen Home where she found him sitting by the pool with Ethel, another female resident, who was holding Harold's manhood!

Furious, Mildred yelled, "You two-timing creep! What does Ethel have that I don't have?"

Old Harold smiled happily and replied, "Parkinson's."

Anxiety

I can't believe I've already tainted my daily blogging rep by missing yesterday! It's shocking to say the least! But I am going to make an excuse, I'm nervous and anxious and pretty much petrified as I have a job interview later and it's all I've been thinking about! All those horrible questions you get asked about yourself, and your strengths and weaknesses and what makes you so amazing *sigh*

I just really hope I manage to get through it confidently without choking or saying something really stupid!

I shall now double post to make up for yesterday, a joke, because I know I could use a giggle about now!

In the wise words of a close friend...

'An ant on a boat in a river' sums up how small I feel today... I think I'll blame the fact that it's Monday. I also think I'll try and inkscape another ant - yes I just verb'd Inkscape! Have a super day everyone!
