Insignificant Jewels

Everyone has little things in their life that they cannot live without. It might be an old T-Shirt or a teddy bear, everyone has things. It turns out, i have lots. The first thing i can’t live without is my Mr Happy T-shirt. It was my aunts, then my mums, then my sisters and now it’s mine. My sister gave it to me before i came to Korea, she told me whenever i wore that T-shirt, i wasn’t allowed to be unhappy. So now, whenever i am sad, i put on the T-Shirt and i feel better.

The next thing i can’t live without are my DVDs of The Mighty Boosh. I went to see them live at Christmas but i’ve been in love with the Boosh Boys for years now. They rock your socks. And if i ever meet them properly, i may die of excitement. 

What else can’t i live without? Gavin and Stacey! I live off gavin and Stacey. Nessa and Smithy are, ironically, the best characters. I love them.. both… equally. I would die if someone took my DVDs. DIE!

My Geoffrey Giraffe is also INCREDIBLY important to me. If anyone touches Geoffrey, i will kill them. He is my mascot. My mum got him for me from America. He is named after my Granddad, not because my granddad looks like a giraffe but just because it is a very british name. 

My cowboy boots, although they are old and kind of falling apart, i love them. They are brown with white stitching. I got them about two years ago and they still fit. I think i’ll cry when they officially ruin. 

Now, that isn’t it. I have more. And i’m sure you all do too. Insignificant jewels are things that we love but that others would disregard in a heartbeat. What are your insignificant jewels?

Smithy meets the England football team

This was created for Red Nose Day ’09. Gavin and Stacey’s very own Smithy (James Corden) stumbles into a group of the England football team. Watch his brilliant pep talk, i’ve got to say, it must be the best they’ve ever had!

“I need that like a hole in the bollock!”

Ok, let me just clarify, i don’t in fact have bollocks, its just a figure of speech. I have had the world’s worst week i think and its only Tuesday. I’m unorganized, i keep falling over, i failed all quizzes this week, and i had a break up. Just a pretty crap week. It’s time like these where i wish i never gave up coffee or started dieting, on normal occasions, coffee and chocolate would work perfectly. But not anymore! So i’ve had to rely solely on comedy hoping to lift my mood to a sociably acceptable state. The only solution i have is to laugh my arse off until i’ve forgotten why i was sad. I’ve recently turned to Gavin and Stacey for my uplift.

I don’t know if anyone has ever watched this show, but its bloody fantastic. Honestly. Also sucessful in cheering me up has been the works of Eddie Izzard, Mock the Week, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, QI, The Mighty Boosh and Michael McIntyre. I don’t know what it is about watching people make jokes thats so much better than just listening to it.

And now to explain my title, as well as the best quote from a TV show ever, it also describes how i feel about my current state. I’ve been feeling odd lately. Everyone is attractive to me, i swear. Its worrying me. I found myself flirting with a monk a few days ago while holding hands with my little brother. I’m UNCONTROLABLE. So aside from having a crap week, i’m also going insane and finding the oddest looking people rather tasty. So i’ve taken to using this phrase whenever i catch myself looking at a guy who probably looks as attractive as Prince Charles, “I need that like a whole in the bollock” just to remind me that it will only cause problems.
