Walking around Leicester in the dark

I went on a ghost walk today. It was most interesting. I did not know that there was a ghost in Alliance and Leicester of a woman wearing a tight catsuit with long blonde hair. And a bum-pinching ghost in the street of solicitors. And a monk in Leicester Cathedral's graveyard that points to you making you die within 24 hours. Marc Almond of Soft Cell fame had just finished a concert in the Cathedral as we passed it, and it was full of smoke and atmospheric purple lighting. But he is silly.

As you may tell, I often have trouble finding interesting things to write about in my blog. So imagine my excitement when I found this website. My task is to discover the strangest thing I can find on eBay. Regardez voici!

I think Carlsberg made our house!

As in, "Carlsberg don't make houses, but if they did, they'd probably be the best houses in the world." Oh the wit. I came back from our house in Coventry this evening. If you think your student house is good, come and have a look at ours - it is housetastic! It's all very clean (except the bathroom, but that can be fixed) and we have a nice little breakfast area in our kitchen, and nice furniture, and no threat of dodgy electricity burning the house down! The only thing is, it has a name - St Kevin's. Hmm. I didn't know there was a saint called Kevin. Phil informs me that he is patron saint of blackbirds. St Kevin, not Phil. Apparently, "A cow which habitually licked Kevin's clothes while the saint was in prayer gave as much milk as 50 other cows." Wouldn't it be brilliant to share a house with the patron saint of blackbirds, or indeed any saint?

For some reason, the past few days all I want to do is watch Friends. Will and Grace too actually. Talking of Friends, the song played in the final episode when Ross and Rachel got back together ("The Reason", Hoobastank) is tres bon and you must all download/buy it at once. I have an embarrassing lack of music on my computer, I need broadband so I can download stuff again. Anyway, Will and Grace beckons...

Things I want...

I have decided I need many more CDs than I have. There's so much music I like at the minute and I can't listen to it! Although I'm not going to list it all, that would be dull. I should write more songs. Actually, I should just write a song to start with. Thing is, I have a feeling if I did it'd end up being about goblins or bacteria. Well, it worked for the Beatles. A song about bacteria would be rather brilliant actually, I'll have a good think about that - there seems to be a gap in the market where songs of bacterial love and bravery are concerned. Yes.

I'm going to Cov tomorrow! Not to move in for good, but to stay for a few days and drop some bulky stuff off. Oh yes and the ghosthunt is off again, damn it! The tickets seem to sell out a lot more quickly than you might expect. But, being cunning and able to adapt to whatever life throws at us, we have decided to go to a ghost walk that happens to be taking place a week on Monday to gather information about haunted Leicester, and then arrange a night wandering around haunted Leicester in search of ghosts. This is in theory you understand. You probably know that I am not the most adventurous person in the world, and if something happened, would be quite likely to run away screaming like a girl (or indeed a very camp man).

Anyway, off I go to hitting practise...

I love horses - they're my friends

Why does doing nothing make me more tired than doing... something? Life is bizarre. So, this is my first blog for over a week. "You must have a new and fabulously busy lifestyle!" I hear you cry. Oh no. Although I did go to the Bullring on Thursday for to buy presents for Mad Aunt Gertrude's and my brother's birthdays, and in true Kylie style, came home with only the magazine I bought to amuse myself on the outward train journey. Still. Oh and I went on a night out for the first time in weeks on Friday. But that's about it.

I see from my McDonald's Advantage Club email that they've introduced a Crayola Happy Meal. Perhaps it's just a piece of paper with a crayon representation of a burger and chips, hohoho. Gosh I'm funny. I should use the word "gosh" more often. No I shouldn't.

I have started my new keep fit regime! Which involves going to the Leisure Centre where my mum is a receptionnist and getting free aerobic-y things twice a week. One of them is Box Fit, where I've been learning to damage people's internal organs - it's great. I intend to join a self-defence/aerobic-y type thing when I get back, if anyone wishes to join me? Go on, otherwise, you'll have no way to defend yourself when I attack you with my new boxing moves (I'm 'ard, me).

Ooh must go, got a birthday card to deliver... remember, in future you can use www.partychicken.co.uk to access my blog! Hurrah!

Pointy elf shoes

It's very very sunny and hot. I really want to go somewhere. But I can't think of anywhere to go, which is why I'm on t'internet. I might settle for the museum. Yay! Will have to get a move on though. Ooh ooh ooh the Kylie Belgrave Hall Ghosthunt may be on once again! My brother went to Belgrave Hall for a walk a couple of days ago, that day when there were huge storms (muahahaha he had no coat), and he said they're selling tickets for another ghosty night for the end of September. Hurrah! But I have to wait for Laura to confirm that she can come before I can buy tickets, so there's a possibility that they'll sell out again. I have a good feeling though :-) She wants us to go off on our own at some point during the night - hmm not too sure about that. Vic Reeves did it and after about 20 secs ran back to the others cos there were scary noises :-S and before that the medium said there was a bloke called Edmund Craddock who "doesn't like womenfolk". Yeees. If I'm not there at the start of term, I may have been attacked by a misogynist ghost and left for dead, so start getting worried...

Shock! Horror!

I've just found out that Jason Karl (the paranormal investigator for the first series of Most Haunted) was Julian, the dungeoneer who was a member of team 10 in Knightmare Series 2! They won too! Ok now I'm starting to sound like a bit of a geek. Oh well, I'm not ashamed - quite the opposite, I'm proud. This has amused me for, oh, the past hour or so. Hahaha. Hahahahahahahaha. It's definitely true, see for yourself. There's an interview at the bottom of the page. Oh what a small world.
