Monday Madness: DVDs...
1. Are you more likely to rent or buy DVDs? Why? ...nowadays, prolly i'd buy... the price to rent is astronomical and not so new DVDs doh cost so much no more... i'd bide my time then buy fo' sure :)
2. If you rent DVDs, do you bother viewing the 'Behind the Scenes' or watching the entire movie again with commentary on? ...thas gotta depend on tha movie... only if the extras are great do i even take a look ...Shreks the exception... have you seen those special features ...Pick me! Pick me!! ...*giggles*
3. Do you think these features warrant the extra cost for DVD? ...surely tha depends on the movies again... i doh care about the deleted scenes in LOTR or Star Wars for instance but i can understand why people would pay extra for them... tha only spesh ed i ever really wanted was tha KillBill1&2 box set but i got it cheaper seperate instead... no biggie :)
4. What's your favorite DVD (or VHS) in:
*Drama: In America...why? watch it an' see
*Comedy: BlackAdder II with Rowan Atkinson and Miranda Richardson is funny as feck! ...okay, technically its a tv programme but they brought them all oot on tha duh-vuh-duh ;)
*Action: i like tha Bad Boys movies.. big explosions, car chases, shootouts.. what more action can you need :)
*Suspense/Thriller: i really enjoyed the Bone Colector and Man on Fire ...Amores Perros has gotta feature here someplace tho' :) thas tha dogs bollox!
*Horror: ...i doh do horror... blood an' gore i can handle but i doh do shocks!!

sometimes it take a big act from someone to restore your faith... you faith in what doesn't really matter ...i'm not talking religion here [i'll save tha for a whole other post some day ;)] but just a generalisation ...its not that its gotta be tha person doin' something big tho.. to them its nowt... to you tho' ~ thas a whole other matter. they prolly doh even realise they done something thas made a great deal of a difference to you... should you keep it tha way? should you let them know? i got sooo many people to thank and i doh even think *they* realise it ...they'll get their mentions of course... not in one post... wouldn't want others to figure oot who they are but if you're mentioned in my blog then its highly likely you'll recognise yourself... mebbe others will too but i'd never use your given names, or even your pseudonym ...more of a pseu-pseudonym *L .. i like tha [is it wrong of me to giggle at my own posts *teehee]
Oh... an' Malcolm tha Mountie always gets his man ;)

Monday Madness: prev unanswered questions
1. How did you learn about computers? Were you self taught? ...i doh know a lot about computers... i know enough to get by... i've learnt from going to some classes with Man Friday, from my bro-in-lo' and from reading and asking people on line... but 'specially tha nicest fella in tha world... he help sooo much ALL tha time :)
2. What is your favorite colour and why is it your favorite colour? ...i love really dark blue... but i doh know why
3. What one thing going on in the world right now, has the most effect on you personally? ...tha tsunami kinda makes you think doesn't it... but i think closer to home is tha break up of my sisters 18 year relationship :(
4. If you were going to develop your own meme, what kind would you create? ...my own huh?!
5. Why do you enjoy answering memes? ...is tha what i'm doing now?! i never heard tha phrase meme befo'e :/
6. What is your wildest dream? ...thas a bit personal!! it might involve Hugh Jackman... it might not ;) *teehee
7. Why do you answer these questions? ...'cause i use this space to bitch an' moan, tell, share etc about this, tha and everything... somedays i have LOTS to say... others i have nothing... i doh know, or care, if anyone reads them... but if i can give a lil of me thas cool... and also it makes me think about stuff ... even if only for a lil minute whilst i'm typing this up :)

remember me? s'been a while huh .. and what a years its been ... but bollox to last year... things happened, i followed the usual stuff, BB5, wimbledon, Euro'04, I'm a Celeb... all a bit of a let down and frankly not worth tha bother of typing up about 'em ('part from Joe Pasquale... i always liked him and rooted for him in tha Jungle from day 1 altho i never actually thought he would win...hurray!!)
2005 was meant to be a better year but its started of SHIT!! ...my sis and her fella have gone there seperate ways after 18 years and he thought it was a good idea to tell her the weekend before X'mas... oh joy! ...thas bad in itself but he figures he'll still spend X'mas with her and tell her he trying to work things out... obviously he change his mind cus he decided he'll go all out so on New Years Eve he packs his bags and drives off into tha sunset, fingers crossed, never to be seen again!! i can't actually get across how consumed with hatred i am right now... am sure someone will get the brunt of it tho over the coming weeks... poor Ben *sighs* I didnae wanna spoil X'mas for the girls and surprisingly we managed to have a really good time ...presents were loved all round .. i finally gave in to Lauren having her ears pierced but even that was topped by the fact that we bought her a mobile fone which she hasn't had away from her 'texting finger' since X'mas Day! Nina was totally enthralled by a cardboard book and yet the musical Dipsy from the teletubbies has been thrown behind the tree for now til she comes to terms with it.. not the great response i was hoping for but she's young.. she'll get over it *sighs* ...Ben got his present early when i spotted an unbeatable offer for a 40gb iPod back in October but i still did the ol' sox, smellies and DVDs thing which always goes down a treat :) personally, i got slippers, an awesome mp3 player, DVDs, gloves, chocs, vouchers, a tub of flying saucers... hmmmm!! i also got a bottle of irish cream too from tha 'rents... am so glad i bought tha bushmills for maself now *LOL
So, my new year... my last of my 20s... tha big three-o is looming and i'm not really sure how i feel about that... or whether i even care... presents better be good this year tho ~ if you feel tha need to eMail me for postal address for gifts then all mail will be replied to ;)
For 2005, my intentions... resolutions.. whatever you wanna call them... i doh have many... if i made anything official then of course they would just be there to be broken so i'm not gonna stop drinking, smoking, eating too much etc... not all of which i do anyway *L ...mebbe i should consider starting... *ponders & giggles ... well, i s'pose i should start my very first post of 2005, (and the first for quite some time) with best wishes for 2005 to those of you that actually bother to read this... and i hope to be updating far more often than i have been .. am now off to search for an alternative to tha 'friday five' .. i miss tha... tek care... till next time... Tilly xx
