Angela Ludlow is super lazy

2011-05-23T19:18:00.004+10:00

THERE! I said it!

Yup, that's right I have NO EXCUSE for why I stoppped blogging. I wish I could say "Oh I've been super busy with that new promotion I got" or "I got temporary arthritis in my fingers and I couldn't use a keyboard", that would also be a lie.

I am just plain lazy.

I'm so lazy that I still have old rosters that I wrote for a job I had almost a year ago right next to my computer:

I'm so lazy that on the other side of my computer I still have a certificate from my job before that over 2 years ago:

And I don't think I need to get into specifics about the cleanliness of my apartment... Let's just say I have a wardrobe, floor-drobe, couch-drobe and a bathroom-drobe.

So by this point it'd be quite evident *how lazy* I really am. I'm going to try and be a little more motivated from now on, I promise!

Anyway, I'm off to lay on the couch!

Crazy little thing called 'love'

Ok so I feel the need to state before I get into this blog that Shania Twain will not be a series regular in this blog, it is simply coincidence that she is also making an appearance in this blog post as well. So don't stress kids! With that in mind, please enjoy...

So at work the other day during a rather dull time it would seem, a couple of the girls and I started talking about songs that couples relate to and call 'their song', and basically how bad and hilarious they are!

Now I was going to list a few of these 'jems' but realised when it comes to corny songs and situations my mother (Donna) and step-father (Jason) REALLY take the cake. Here is a few songs that I cannot help but LOL when I hear them, thanks to Donna and Jason, well mainly Jason because he is a total softy, god bless them! HAHA!

1. Donna and Jason were married in the late 90's. Now choosing a meaningful song in the 90's really must of been hard, I have to give them that! So what song did they choose for my mother to walk down the aisle to? That's right kids, 'From this moment' by Shania Twain! I NEVER let them forget this.

2. A few of you may remember a film from the 90's, 'Titanic'? Well if you do you may also remember the theme song 'My heart will go on' by Celine Dion. Further more you will also remember that when this movie was released how popular the song was and how it was played at least 3 times a day on the radio for at least a month. Jason felt so moved by the song that he felt the need to call Donna whenever it came on the radio and tell her how much he loved her etc. I really don’t know how she got any work done for that month!
3. When I first moved up to Brisbane Jason and I were living together and Donna was yet to move up as she was still in the process of selling her business. So Jason went for quite sometime without seeing Donna. One night Jason and I decided to have a few drinks and watch 'So you think you can dance' (his choice, not mine!) then play God of War on Playstation (like we did most nights). So we've knocked back a few and the final routine is about to show on 'So you think you can dance', and 'Bleeding love' by Leona Lewis starts playing and they dance to it. Half way through the routine Jason says "(a little choked up) Ange, I really miss your mother".

All jokes aside, they are the cutest!

Hope you find this as amusing as I do!

Shania does it for me?

2010-09-24T18:32:00.003+10:00

So last night Michael and I went to sizzler. As we were taken to our seats we saw a women with long curly hair, a huge quiff, a brown fringed suede cropped jacket, skin tight black slip dress and knee high black boots with a fur trim.

The above video is of her and who we think she is! You obviously can't see her in the detail that we did but you get the idea!

ENJOY!!

Myspace and Danny from channel V :S

2010-09-23T00:01:00.001+10:00

Ok so I logged onto myspace for like the first time in god knows how long tonight. I thought it might be fun to go through my myspace inbox.

There was one particular message I had to share! I had posted a bulletin saying "wake me up before you go go" and this was the reply that I got from Danny from channel V. Random. Awkward. Hilarious. Enjoy :)

Because of this photo I can't walk outside for more then 30 seconds without looking up for birds. One more thing to add to my OCD-ish personality -_-

Can I just say...

2010-09-16T23:54:00.001+10:00

Dear McDonalds
It really annoys me when the burger makers at McDonalds can't seem to get the cheese on the middle of my burger, because then I feel the need to peel it off and centre it and get any bits that are hanging off the edge and make sure every inch of the meat is covered with cheese. I can't deal cause I get weird looks off who ever I am eating with. Anyone who has ever eaten with me will understand my need for my food to be perfectly assembled before I eat it.
Regards,
Angela "OCD" Ludlow

Day Ten: One confession

2010-09-15T14:07:00.001+10:00

1. On the surface I am outspoken, positive, confident, motivated, outgoing etc. But truth is I let more things get to me then I let on. My way of dealing with shit seems to be me just pretending things are ok or convincing myself that things could of been worse. In a way it is good because a lot of the time things COULD of been a lot worse. Just means I never really seem to detach from these things, I have this hidden resentment. Bad I know! So this whole "Ten days" thing has really helped me. Thanks for watching kids :)

What's wrong with being number two?

2010-09-08T21:55:00.001+10:00

"It is 1979, a basketball game in the Brandeis Gym. The team is doing well, and the student section begins a chant, "We're number one! We're number one!". Morrie is sitting nearby. He is puzzled by the cheer. At one point in the midst of "We're number one!", he rises and yells, "What's wrong with being number two?"
The students look at him. They stop chanting. He sits down, smiling and triumphant."

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart

2010-09-08T14:44:00.001+10:00

1. Be addicted to boosh or scrubs.
2. Take me to timezone.
3. Share my love of food.
4. Having a sound understanding of basic grammar.
5. Buy me anything from Veronika Maine.
6. Say "your face".
7. Play "God of war" with me.
8. Beat me at scrabble!

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

2010-09-07T20:01:00.001+10:00

1. I have a small red birthmark on my forehead that can hardly be seen when I'm wearing make-up. Apparently when I get angry or upset it gets really obvious.
2. I feel awkward showering without music playing.
3. I feel naked if I haven't filled in my eyebrows with a brow pencil.
4. I have a weird fear of winter coats. I always get scared I'm going to get to warm wearing it out so then I'll take it off but I'll be to cold because when you have such a warm jacket you don't wear a whole lot underneath etc!
5. My favorite soundtrack is the Garden State soundtrack.
6. I've watched scrubs season 1-7 at least 5 times over, hence resulting in me using scrubs quotes at any point in any conversation!
7. For my 15th birthday my father gave me Richard Branson's autobiography "losing my virginity". At the time I was so disappointed, 7 years later I could not tell you how many times I've read it. It's my most prized possession.
8. I love really bad MTV/VH1 reality tv shows. "I love New York" is one of my faves! I know their bad but I love it soooo much!
9. I can recite every line from "mean girls" from start to finish. So don't ever watch it with me because you'll probs get very annoyed very quickly haha

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

2010-09-06T22:22:00.001+10:00

1. You've had so much shit happen to you lately and it kills me that I'm to far away to be there for you. I know I get shitty at you sometimes about stupid things but I'm just trying to protect you :)
2. You're such a good friend. Even though you annoy me like the little brother I never had you keep my mind off the shit that gets me down. I know I act indifferent but you're awesome, I hope we'll always be friends.
3. One part of me feels like what we did was a huge mistake, but it was a mistake we had to make. I think we were both trying to convince ourselves there was more there then what there was. I don't want you to feel bad, cause I've already moved on.
4. You're such a good guy. I hate seeing you go through all this hurt. I wish I could go back to that night and somehow stop all that shit from happening even though it had nothing to do with me. I know that you'll realize sooner or later that you're gonna be ok :)
5. I really wish you'd stop stressing so much. I know you're just worried about her, but she's a lot stronger then you give her credit for. You need to stop worrying about everyone else and take some time for YOU!
6. We can go months on end without seeing each other cause of the distance but as soon as we see each other we pick up just where we left off. There's never that awkward moment! You're the funniest person I know!
7. I'm so glad you've finally found a girl that makes you happy! I know you've had a pretty bad run and I don't want to jinx it or anything but she seems perfect! Hopefully I'll get to meet her when I'm down that way soon!
8. I really admire how unique you are! I've never met anyone like you. You are just so much fun to be around I can't imagine anyone not liking you! I miss your "sumo bun" at work! Haha
9. From the moment we started working together I knew we'd be friends. Your smile is contagious! When you revealed to me that you were pregnant I was over the moon. I really think we bonded from that moment. Pretty sure customers thought I was crazy when the saw me singing to your belly, but I didn't care! I look forward to us being friends for a long time :)
10. I must say I do miss you, but I miss the you that doesn't seem to exist anymore. What you did to your own family disgusts me. It's quite sad really because you've turned into exactly what you hated; a bitter, lonely old man. Your father.

All the cool kids are doing it...

Another immaculate conception

2009-09-13T23:45:00.000+10:00

All i can feel is my hot water bottle going cold,
As i stare out to my future,
I see nothing.
Why can't I see it, why can't I feel it?

My glass is empty,
Never to be refilled again.
Not for this anyway.

I can't go back to that place, not yet.
The paternalism's gone.
He's gone,
I'm gone.
Nothings there.

Nothing.

I have a dream...

2009-09-13T23:39:00.000+10:00

I want to be famous, really famous.

I want to be so famous that movie stars hang out with me and talk about what a bummer their lives are. I wan to beat up photographers who catch me in hotel lobbies with Winona Ryder. I want to be implicated in vicious rumours about Drew Barrymore’s sex parties. And, finally, I wan to be pronounced DOA in a small, tired LA hospital after doing speedballs with Matt Damon.

I want it all…

I realised a long time ago that the best way to get famous in this world is to become an actor. Unfortunately, I’m a terrible actor. I’m not even a mediocre actor, which rules out a second attractive path: marrying an actor (they inbreed, so you cant marry one unless you are one).

For a while I thought about becoming a Rock star, but for that you either have to be immensely talented or have sex with a studio executive, and somehow I just couldn’t foresee either of those little scenarios in my immediate future.

So that really leaves just one option: to be young, very cool, and very, very rich. The great thing about this particular path to fame, Oprah and line jumping at nightclubs is that it’s open to everyone.

They say anyone can make it in this world, and its true: you can make it all the way to the top and a vacuous, drink-slurred lunch with Madonna. All you have to do is find something you’re good enough at to make a million dollars, and do it before your twenty-five.

When I think about how simple it all is, I cant understand why kids my age are so pessimistic...
