I'm not sure what exactly i want to write today...but I just felt the need to write.

This weekend I took the boy for his birthday day out, his birthday was in july, but i was away for a wedding that he was catagorically NOT invited too, but apparently it was vital for me to attend -- let me have a mini moan about that for a minute: Basically, My Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister and Myself were invited to my cousins wedding up in Kent. Now all three of us, my bro, and sis and me have partners, and none of them were invited. My parents spoke to my aunty and uncle, who confirmed that the invitation was extended to us three kids and no one else!! My sister then had to work, my brother deliberately didnt come home from Thailand until afterwards, so i was the only one who had to go!!! Admittedly I did have a good time with my other cousins and my uncle (who's more like a cousin - for reasons too longwinded to explain here), but I just feel I would have been happier with jame, katie and jamie with me. Definately with jamie! :-)

So weekend birthday bash for jamie JAF... We'd had a lovely day out, shopping in Exeter, and then we were sat in the Grand Hotel, Torquay (and this is where you need to prepare your buckets)... and I looked across at Jamie, and I just couldnt stop smiling when i was thinking at how lucky i am to have him in my life!!!! ... He's such a gorgeous, kind and loving guy, and he makes me so happy. I dont think I've ever been this happy and well...dispite what the last post said...settled in my life!!

I need to stop worrying so much, because sometimes I get so worked up I seriously feel that its taking years off my life... I got really angry at the weekend, and accidentally took it out on Jay, and now looking back I feel so foolish, because I'm not entirely sure where this bout of aggression came from.
I think it probably has something to do with a total lack of exercise and creative stiflement (not a word, but I liked it)... once i get back from the IOS I'm back in to rehearsals for two shows, and back on the keys as well as running Genesis! ... However, the 2 shows I'm doing aren't with Wellington GASP!!! Meh! Everyone needs a change of scenery sometime!!! 

WHOOOOOAAAAHHHHH!!!! ..... accidentally strayed into epic posting territory.

I'll leave it there for now! CHD Checking off!

SO! Here I am again, all deflated and stuff because I'm sat at work, at a job that is in no way fulfilling! ... OK so I'm moaning again... but I dont feel that I want to be.
I really do try and count my blessings, and I was doing just that last night, and my trip to Zambia really opened my eyes as to how lucky I really am...but I cant help feeling that the time has come to move on from here.

I want to work in the creative industries, HOWEVER, I know that everyone wants work on the stage, or be a singer or dancer, but deep down I knwo that isnt my true calling! My true calling though, would banish me for the way I want to live my life and that just confuses me even more! GAAAH!!!

I think the best option for me at the moment is to sit tight, do nothing and try and enjoy life.

I'll go for a walk along the seafront with the boy tonight...or just a walk anywhere would be nice! That should allieviate my feelings of restlessness and anxiety to move!!!

Sorry folks, moan is deffo now over!!!

CHD Checking out! ;-)

Okay! So today, my normal high spirits have been somewhat marred...only slightly mind!!! 

Tonight when i finish work at 6pm I have to drive 5 hours to go to my cousins wedding in Kent. I have to go without my gorgeous boy, because he wasnt invited, and trying to wangle him an invite didnt work. If he had been invited, it might have caused issue with the crumblies, but I think i would of told my grans I was gay! (My parents have known since i was 17, and Jamie lives with us half the week - so they wouldnt have cared!) 

Also, because of this bloody stupid wedding, I have to miss my boys birthday! NOT IMPRESSED!!!! ... I've gotten him two presents, a token for a day out with me to all his favourite laces, which he opened yesterday and seemed to really like, and something else, that I shan't disclose just incase that cheeky little monkey has a read of this!!!

Jamie said tht he's not upset, and that he's okay and understands; but I know deep down he must be dissapointed! i know that I would be if the tables were reversed!!! 

GGGGGRRRRRRR!!!! Dont you just hate families sometimes! I wouldnt mind that much, but NONE of us want to go...we've been invited through convention. Katie has managed to escape by saying she cant work and james isnt coming back from Thailand until afterwards....LUCKY B*STARD!!! 

PHEW! big deep breaths! all calm again! 

on the plus side, because you must always remain positive!...

THE BOYS BACK FROM FAIRFORD

W00P W00P! Positives outway the negative!!....was worried for a minute!

(it means "you alone master" in Latin! :-) 

I'm sat, as ever, at my desk on planning reception in the Deane house contemplating health, wealth and hapiness...are they mutually exclusive? NO!! :-) 

Ok, so i'm not particularly wealthy at the moment, but hopefully that will all change one day! ... me and jamie are being as careful as we can with money, and we've cut our spending habits right down. I feel fairly lucky that i've found myself someone who already has a house with a mortgage...sad I know, but its just a little bit more financial security! Yes, I know that I sound like an old man, but you've got to think about the long term sooner or later!!! ... and fingers crossed, in the next year or so, me and Jamie will be moving in together...no rush though, I hastily add. Both he and me are happy with our current living arrangments, and it keeps the relationship fresh not seeing each other for at least 2 nights a week...OK, now I know i'm getting boring and so shall stop on that subject!!!!

on the subject of health, I am very pleased, I managed to go to Zambia and not catch a thing...although nearer Chrtistmas I'm going to pay for a full medical and blood tests and things just to make sure... Because although I feel fine now, some things can take up to 6 months to come out in your system.

Ooh! hot guy from another office has just walked past! PHWOAR!!!!!! (he's on the apprioved list!)

Hapiness, I shant bleat on too long on this one because it will sound far too sickly sweet. But I am indeed very happy. I spent the day with my boy yesterday up in Portsmouth. He was helping his....well, our, friends move house, so i drove up and lent a hand!! Had a lovely time with him, went to the beach, had dinner (which our friend Ian paid for :-o ) ... ya know, nice stuff! :-) 

Today I am VERY tired, as I got home at just gone 11pm last night! ... hey ho! day off tomorrow so a lie in is in order! HOORAH!

CHD  Checking off!

OK, so I haven't posted to this thing for approaching 2 years, but I'm sat on reception in the Deane House and felt a tinge of inspiration, and so felt the need to blog.

Let me update you on my life since I was last here.
Well, last year, I was considering going off to be an entertainment rep for Thomas Cook holidays, and I was offered a place, I was also offered a place at the Birmingham institute for performing arts and vocal something or other, but I decided to turn both down on the premise that I already earn 3 times that of a holiday rep, and I cant be bothered with drama school at this time of my life....perhaps as a mature student!!!!

In other news from last year I had a brief spell of seeing a girl, but that didnt really work out, thankfully, and I ran the Taunton 10k. Thats really everything of passable intrest!

THIS year though has been fan bloody tastic! ... but lets start at the very beginning. Just after Christmas, I decided to take one of my friends, who had recently come out, to a gay bar in Exeter, we had a few drinks (mine non-alcoholic) and then I got started talking with a tall, blonde guy, with the most luscious lips you've ever seen, called Jamie.
Jamie was 22, a leo, and had GORGEOUS blue eyes! He also had a sense of humour to match mine, so we were well set!

ANYWAYS! long story short, we've been going out since then and I couldnt be happier! ... I'm certain that I've found my one true love, and yes I know just how cheesey that sounds, but its true! ... Jamie's the one!
(I'm also aware at how foolish this will seem if we ever break up!)

I know we're still in that sickening honeymoon period that makes everyone elses stomach turn! ... but quite frankly, I DONT CARE! MWAH HA HA HA HA HA!!!

I think that the heavens must be smiling on me this year though! I've been lucky enough to go to Thailand, Florida AND Zambia already this year. Zambia was heartbreaking, but such a life changing experience that I wouldnt have changed it for the world!

SO!!...I have so much more I want to say, and so much more emotion that I want to pour into this keyboard, but this posting is epic enough as it is!

I was just doing my usual trick of strutting round the pages of live journal when i remembered that I haven't actually written anything for a while! This is in itself a radical departure and I think I need to quickly update you on all that is happening!
You may or may not know that last week I went up to see Stand and Deliver (Claire) in Cardiff! We'd been meaning to get together for ages but hadnt gotten around to it, and then she asked me to come and help with a college project and I was straight up!!!
Basically she wanted me to play the part of an incredibly cheesey cabaret singer for their fake holiday camp set up "Butelins!!" I think this went down rather well! I got some cheers and things, and my patter between songs was suitabley awful! And I'm loving the idea of student life! Everyone at RWCMD seemed really cool and laid back, even if there were a couple of real music snobs! DAMN THEM!!!
Also whilst in Cardiff I got ALL my crimble shopping done! BACK OF THE NET!!
It made me stop and think if I wanted to go and do something similar! Yes it would be incredibly hedonistic and completely self indulgent, but I know my true calling in life and that is the path I intend to follow! .... BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN THAT'S WHY!!
I had my one to one with my team leader at work yesterday and that went so well, I found myself saying how much I was enjoying my work and that I wasn't thinking about leaving at all! Strange sentiments it's true, but I think deep down that's how I feel! And it's always encouraging when your team leaders like you on their team and call you a credit!!! **BEAM OF PRIDE**
But anyway! That's enough of my self indulgent attitude for one day! There are Christmas presents to wrap! I have a kagool for a very special person -- It's a lovely tangerine pop pin and I doubt i shall find another!!

Yes I know, I know, serial Blogger!!! But I felt the need to emote ... God it's worse than that Ben Elton book ..... Blind Faith that's it!!!
Yes I still have an incredible urge to run away, but God knows how I'm going to get rid of it! Apparently supressing emotions for years and years can work!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I stray from the topic in hand! I've just got home after the Slice of Lennon final night and after show party, there was the usual mixture of inebriated chums and past show songs to dance too (look we remembered the choreography from 3 years ago! lol), and a slight feeling of relief that I've discharged one of my commitments!
I have seriously over commited myself this autumn and, dear lord, I am paying the price. I've been working 8-6pm, then rehearsing every night and Sundy afternoon, with church on a sunday morning. Also being a young farmer and St johner, i need to spread my time really thinly!
I've managed to fit some gym/swimming time into my working day, so that relaxes me somewhat! and people have started noticing that I've toned a little! A little bit more and I'll be ready to slip into that dames frock!!
I had a great time tonight with all my nearest and dearest, and I'm headed up to Cardiff on Thursday to see Claire so I'm excited at this.
I think what I'll do is wait until the new year, see how I'm feeling then and probably run away then!
I can't do that much harm! ... Can I??
i won't be gone forever, just a short soujorn where I live around the world, doing bits and bobs!
I've got that ash to do it, so why bother staying in Wellinton!? ... Oh that's right! I feel this odd sense of loyalty to the town and would actually (and this is where it gets sad) miss the town!!
Oh God!

I've babbled long enough me thinks!

No doubt I shall be back within the next day or so with more oratorial spewage!!!!!!

TTFN Mons Amis!!!!

Just when you think you've got rid of that itchy feet feeling. When you think, hey, ya know what, that trip to Malta DID satisy my current need for travel! The feeling just pops back up again!
I have this incredible feeling that i need to run away! just up and leave! i know it's so not practical, and i am aware of how many people I'd be upsetting in the process, ut still the feeling just sits there, waving at me from time to time saying "don't forget...time to move on"!!!
What the hell is wrong with me!?!? ... Actually, best not go down that road!
And to top it off, someone at work said to me that you couldn't be a gay Christian! What a Byatch! I ended up sending her quite a long rant via email, not that she upset me, actually, yes, yes she did1 it just annoys me how small minded people are! And also, I don't like people to look at me and see Gay! I want to be human, not a box.
someone at the arts centre last night made a gay joke, and then apologised cause they'd forgotten I was gay! This is what i like, I like the gay to be forgotten! Admittedly I do play on i quite a lot, but I know I can do that  to the people who are going to see a little bit deeper!!!

Phew! glad i got that off my chest!!!

Anyway!

....... 3 minutes later ............

Right! just had to deal with a customer!

i know I'm gouing to stay, it's just me being a fool! But next weekend I have free, I'm jetting off for a break ... somewhere with snow!!

Catcha laters one and all!

Very briefly before I have to rush back to the phones, I thought i'd come and have a quick scribble!
We're going through show week at the moment, and although the show is .... interesting!! We soldier on, and I'm looking forward to next week when I have TWO WHOLE EVENINGS free!!!! YAAAY!!!

Although i do enjoy doing shows, they just take up so much bloody time!! I'm currently considering not doing the spring show, just so I can have a break1 however I just know that I'll be bored beyond belief!

i also want to go back and re do GCSE maths! and possibly A level Religious studies again! Cause I got crap grades first time round!!

Oh lordy Lordy Me!!!!

must dash! So much to do! So little time!!!!! ......

So I'm Back!!!

This is of course, not news to many of you as you didn't know I was away! In less of course you're an avid blog spotter/stalker, and you follow every move!
I had a lovely relaxing time in Malta, however I doubt I will return1 There was a lovely bit of weather when I was there and I managed to completely chillax and see several films in the meantime!!
It had a definate arabic feel to the place, with crumbly buildings and gravelly beaches! but it's all parr for the course as they say!!

After next week I will no longer have Slice of lennon to worry about ... not that is that I worry too much about it, as It's a show just like any other, I'm just finding it harder work!

Once that one's out of the way and i only have hood and panto to worry about, maybe I'll be able to get a bit more sleep time! Or gym time, I've not been there for a while....

Any way! With a song in my heart and a quid in my pocket, I soldier into the dusky morn.......
