Clarification, my thoughts and just something plain funny

Clarification:
I'm not getting married (evil look to Oli *giggle*). I'm just saying I really like wedding planning and I don't think I'm so bad at it either. Part of me really wants to be a professional wedding helper if I ever stop teaching or maybe just even during the summer for some extra cash! Anyone need my services since I don't have any need of my own?

My Thoughts:
In the last year I've really noticed how I don't have any hobbies or any interest about learning about new things. Well actually its not that I don't have any interest about learning new things its just that I don't know what interests me enough to learn about it. So over the year I've taken up reading and every now and then I try to look up information about things that interest me but never know what to put in the search engine or what kind of books to look at...so I often find myself not actually accomplishing anything.

Well I've been really sick with Bronchitis since the 20th December and I haven't left the house very much at all (not even on New Years) and I've been pretty down and bored so I've been on the internet looking at stuff. Well last week Oli told me about this toolbar called Stumble! and since then that's all I can do. Basically it works like this... you tell it what you are interested in and it takes you to recommended pages from your search criteria that other stumblers think are good pages. You can add your own recommendations and also vote on pages they give you.

I have found this to be a great way of just finding out random facts and now I am addicted to stumbling and learning so much more!

Here's the url if you are interested in joining me in being a stumbler:

It's really really great!

Plain funny:
On our side of the pond we have this show called "Just the two of us" basically the premise is that there is a professional singer and a celebrity that compete every night in a "singing" competition for Comic Relief. This year they had 2 celebrities from my favourite shows "Eastenders" which is basically an evening soap opera set in the East end of London. Well needless to say I got hooked. This year I was watching it particularily for John who plays this lovable old man called Jim. He is just old and very funny.

One night in a plead to stay on the show he revealed that he was going to be singing Nelly Furatities "Maneater" so needless to say he was voted on to stay.

Now the reason I'm going on about this is simple. It was flipping hilarious. I've included a link to Nelly doing the original version of this song from you tube.



But here was John's version.I think it was soooooo much better! Actually i'm laughing just thinking about it!


Wow that was long!
Enjoy!

Hey girl!

I was thinking that if you were getting married it would be the most fun wedding I will have ever been to. My memories of Jeremy's wedding include our dancing fiesta!

I will definitely check out that website. I agree with you regarding not knowing what interests you. I have no clue what interests me. I have spent the last while doing sudoku and crossword puzzles. Sounds boring I know but it's really fun!! and mentally instimulating. I feel intellectually challenged!
