Day 9 ... On time!

Something I have been proud of the past few days...

If you recall ages ago I blogged of my dislike for big cakes here and I believe in the past I have said I will not be making big cakes again... But then my friend Steve Holyoake came about and wanted a big cake for his girlfriend to celebrate their 6 month anniversary. I had seen this and fallen in love with it... So decided to pay homage to The Whisk Kid and recreate.

And after faffing for about 6 hours with swiss meringue buttercream... making enemies with it... whispering obscenities in its ear... I finally got the hang of it and went for it.

And, to be honest, I am proud... and I dont feel sooo bad (only just) about big cakes any more. And this one was rather large.

Check out this bad boy!

Peace x

Day 8... Laaaate...

Ok so ... short term goals this month and whyyyyy.

1. Continue on Health... Why? To stop being such a fat shit. I started and then I had a mental breakdown and because I have no will power and I am rubbish I ate loads. And I felt guilty but I still couldnt stop. Why is it that even though you know that being such a fat loser is one of the reasons which is making you so depressed and you do realise that if you werent such a fat shit maybe the boy wouldnt be so embarrassed that you still EAT.ALL.THE.FOOD. Im generally disgusting. So yeah to stop eating crap.
2. To stop smoking. Now I have been very good at that in the past and I am still no way smoking as much as I used to. But I am still having a cheeky few. In my demented brain i think it helps me when I am sad or annoyed or what have you... Im not thick enough to actually think that it does, but at the time is a different matter.
3. To go on little day trips to places. Work has stopped being so nuts so I am off for the week. I am supposed to be going on little day trips at the start of the week... with Lar... but as I type this she has just text me to say she cant. So what a waste of fucking time this holiday was,
4. To sort myself out financially. I am rubbish with money and I actually have less than none. Picto is trying to train me to not spend and to budget. He is making me relinquish my debit and credit cards.
5. To try to let go of the boy. Because it hurts to half have him. How is one supposed to do this when he is your best friend. And how is one to do this when one has the mentality of " I would rather have a little bit than not at all". I really am letting myself down arent i.
6. Being as I have nowhere to go now... Maybe I will give spring cleaning the house a go. I really want it to be nice and at the moment. Its like a frickin hovel.

I cant think of any more goals as of yet...

Cheers beers. xx

Day 7... Laaaate

Someone Who Has The Biggest Impact On You

Dear God, I hope he never reads this blog...

**dies of shame**

Yeah, that boy.

Which, is probably terrible, and wrong, and all things unjust.

But I am sorry to say that that is just the way it is.

This guy is my friend, my best friend, and I love him a bit.

But at the same time I hate him. Because I like him too much. Too much than is necessary.

I hate that his mood influences my mood.

I hate that all it takes is one nice thing... an action...a word... a look...and I am on cloud nine.

I hate that all it takes is one mean thing... an action... a word... a look... and I am lower than low.

I hate that everything I do is for him.

I hate that I would run to him whenever he asked.

I hate that I feel this way for him.

I hate that he cant handle it.

I hate it that when its just the two of us he relaxes and its lovely.

I hate that he panics and closes up like an old dusty book.

I hate that he can be stubborn.

I hate that if we argue he acts like he doesn't care and he can play that for as long as he likes.

I hate that even if we argue I cant be mad at him.

I hate that I want him in my life forever.

I hate that I cant let go.

I hate that even when I feel strong and try to pull away from him he can get me back with just a click of his fingers.

Generally. I love him.

And I just wish everything was easy.

Day 6...

Favourite Superhero and why...

I really ♥ The Thing...

I love him because I feel a bit sorry for him. He doesn't want to be made of rocks.

Nice.

Day 3 ... late...

Day 2...

Good morning loyal blog followers of joy...

Day 2... The meaning behind my blog name.

I would like to take this time to describe and discuss what my blog name really means because I wouldnt want you to be left in the dark...

My blog name means I am Bitsy and I make cupcakes. I display them, in picture form, here. Hence... Bitsy's Cupcakery.

Does that come across as sarcastic?

I am in one of those moods.

If you are doing this 30 days things comment and let me know so I can follow and learn all about y'all. xxx

ps. Cupcake pictures to come soon. Sorry its been ages. I am slack... I am sure if you carry on following this 30 days thing at some point it will all come out in a giant flood of sadness and rage and you will understand why I have been so lame.

x

Day 1...

just.me.

Ok... 15 interesting facts...

1. I am so embarrassed to have uploaded that photo... I am terribly self conscious and hate my teeth.

2. I used to own a horse. (oh these arent interesting at all are they)

3. My dad was a roadie with bands... He was offered a 12 month tour with AC/DC but my mom said if he went he may as well not come back... (thats not even about me...)

4. I would give anything to be able to speak french fluently... any language... the fact that it takes time is not good enough for me.

5. I used to sing and play bass in a band.

6. I have a secret love for "urban" music.

7. I cannot for the life of me walk in heels yet I have about 50 pairs. I sometimes buy them because they are pretty and would look good on display...shhhhh!

8. I am a pretty independent person but when I am hungover I get all cuddly and like to be with someone I can cosy up with.

9. Im a winter baby and love nothing more than snow, frosts, open fires, christmas that kind of thing.

10. I love movies I have about 600 DVDs but I rarely watch one all the way through if I am by myself. Mostly I nod off.

12. I can whip up pretty nifty fancy dress costumes... of late I have been... A lion, Cheetara from Thundercats, The black Smoke from Lost and Chun-Li from Streetfighter.

13. My hair is naturally GINGER. Pretty curly. And massive. You should see the Lion dress up pictures. I backcombed it into an afro to make a mane.

14. I love Andrew McCarthy (of St Elmos Fire/Pretty in Pink fame) and would have married him had he of not aged.

15. I fed a hedgehog cheese once.

Well there you go... enlightened? Didnt think so...

I did a thing like this on Facebook once... I think it was slightly more interesting... I gave it a bit more thought... Maybe I should have pasted it in... Oh well.

Thanks for your ears. x

Chun-Li plus a Lemming take on the town...

This Weekend...

Was lovely...

From Thursday onwards...

Thursday I had half day so went to meet the boy for lunch. Nandos... And this time I had quarter chicken with mashed potato and macho peas (which, for those that don't know, are peas mixed with some mashed up peas with like chili and stuff all up in there... they do have quite a kick... but are LUSH)

Then we went shopping for birthday fancy dress outfits and birthday prezzies as it was Picto and Darrans birthday. I got tired of shopping before he did and begged to go to the pub... I think he was secretly uber glad...

Went to the pub, met Picto and John had some laughs and then walked back to the boys house where he tried on his outfit... Fancy dress for Pictos birthday was computer game characters... he was Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island and he looked HOT. I don't know what it was about that costume... but I was smitten hahah.

Then randomly went to Nottingham where the boys all played football.

Friday Darrans birthday. Was cool because we all went to his and his Xbox is now fixed! YAY!! So we played rockband and some tony hawks skate game where you actually stand on a skateboard... I felt like a dick because I have no balance but I did better than a dead cow. Which is something to be proud of surely? But then again, I have never seen a dead cow play tony hawks skate game haha.

Gave him a tonne of boardgames for his birthday. All from charity shops like but awesome. The boy also got him the neighbours boardgame which we found. Darran had apparently played this before when he was a kid and was already a fan so that was good.

Then Saturday came and I was hungover and still had to make a costume to make me look like a convincing Chun-Li from Streetfighter. I was in no way in the mood. I went to the boys house to get ready in the afternoon and just sat down and cried, partly because I was hungover and pathetic partly because in my rush to bring all my things over I forgot the essential safety pins I was gonna pin my costume together with because I couldn't be arsed to sew it.

The boy was mostly awesome and amazing and gave me lots of cuddles. Disappeared and brought me up diet coke and chocolate biscuits and I thought nothing could get better... Then he put his costume on and that was that.

The evening was fun. Apparently people knew who I was. Some lad came over to me in Mosh and said...
Him: Are you dressed as Chun-Li?
Me: Yes
Him: Let me see your thighs.
Me: *shocked face*

This boy looked about 15. I am 27. Really. Hahaha. Secretly thought it was a bit cool. hahah.

Lar dressed as a lemming. She looked so cool with green hair it was so funny.


Then went home, put candles on and cuddled the boy loads... candles and drunk people shouldn't be allowed haha.

Sunday was lazy. I felt like shit and just chilled on the boys sofa til late.

But then I went home.

I said to Lar... I felt like I had been on holiday, it was that nice a weekend with the boy, and that I dreaded Monday because everything would go back to normal. I wouldn't see him. He wouldn't text. And if he did he would be cold and mean. I hoped hoped hoped that wouldn't happen. In the bottom of my heart I always have hope that he will continue to be the awesome person I know he is... but he didn't.
