Tears for Fears

I have now made myself a promise, which I must stick to. I will not watch anymore episodes of Eastenders. One tragedy a year please BBC, as Sophie cannot cope with the likes of Jim returning after his stroke left him unable to talk properly, nor can she cope with the fact Jay has now lost his remaining next of kin. Tonight, I bellowed with tears, and have now come to terms with the fact that the reason I am constantly paranoid, worried and oversensitive, is because Soaps bring to life all the things you think will never happen to you...more than 10 times a week, what with Hollyoaks, (recently Max dying leaving his poor younger and adorable brother Tom alone, with once again, no living relatives) Coronation Street and Eastenders. It is just too much heartache. Therefore, I shall soon have more time on my hands so if anyone thinks of any ideas to fill these hourly gaps in my evenings, I should greatly appreciate any response. Ta.

Onto more slightly less melancholic themes, music has taken over my life! I have listened to the Mamma Mia! soundtrack a cool 26 times since downloading it on Monday, and can say with some merit that I now know all the words to all the songs. Favourite is Honey Honey (just cos her voice is so nice) but SOS comes a close second, probably due to the fact Pierce Brosnan is possibly the most unlikely impersonator for ABBA. I have also downloaded Eva Cassidy's latest string of woeful tunes, which has suitably become my wine drinking play list. Chilled and peaceful, a welcome relief from a daily episode of Eastenders.

Funniest thing I saw today: (even though I only watch Big Brother when I dry my hair) *coughs unconvincingly*



Best song I heard today:

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain, Eva Cassidy. (How apt- aside from the rain part)
