I’m so fed up I just feel totally compelled to share my fed upness with you all! It’s not often I get totally disgruntled, but I must admit I am now! You see, Monday I will be 25!!! (Just an aside before I start this story, I have been to all of my friends birthday get togethers this year)! Anyway… I had originally planned to have a limo take me and several friends, Peter and mum to Birmingham to go around the bars near the mailbox. Anyway, as the weeks drew on all my friends began dropping out… I couldn’t afford to pay for the limo with just Peter and mum and me, so I lost my booking deposit and cancelled the limo! This was only a week or so ago… so then I had to think about what I was going to do for my birthday! Ever since I have been scouring the internet looking for what is on at theatres… everything good is fully booked! Or what else I could do for my birthday… I don’t want just another crappy night out in town!! And poor Peter and mum have had to listen to me moaning about cancelling my birthday and not bothering to go out! So thanks to trying to include friends who I had celebrated birthday’s with… I am now left with nothing to do other than go out for some food!!! What have I learned for next year then? Next year I am going away for my birthday… I’m not even trying to arrange anything involving friends and I’m not going out to their functions either… how many times have I put myself out for them and no one wants to do it for me! Thanks a lot! Now I can totally understand why Peter was so depressed on his last day of work when the people he had run around for didn’t turn up to say bye to him either! People are so selfish!

At least I can be thankful for Peter and mum … if it wasn’t for them it would be a very lonely birthday!

I hate it when you are queuing in the morning to get to work and there are 2 lanes… one of which fades out and morphs into the first lane at the end. And all these self important gits don’t bother with the queuing, they just speed up the outside lane and force their way into the queue of traffic right in front of you!

Last Wednesday, mum and I went to see ‘The Black Dahlia’. It was a really good film. Scarlett Johannsen plays opposite Josh Hartnett in this murder mystery set in 1950s (ok 1947) Hollywood … or Hollywoodland. If you love those old style murder mysteries, where there is the narration of the lead character in parts and old school glamour… if you like to look at 1930s Hollywood architecture and glamour… then this is the film for you!

It’s a great story and very easy to follow with excellent performances from Johanssen and Hilary Duff! Although, on the downside, Hilary Duff’s accent did throw me a little… although that is a minor downside to this story. Just be warned… it’s not who you think it is and there is such a twist at the end of the tale!!

Having seen the film, I now fully intend to go retro glam in full 1950s style… I think it’s going to be a big hit this year… and the film!
