I think i still need to 'explore' a couple of issue's.

As i write this, my mum and half of the neighbours are having a discussion in the street. And i'm hiding indoors.

I have no idea why i can't talk to my neighbours. I have no idea why i WANT to be hidden away, out of sight. It's bizzare, as i am quite sociable when i'm away from home. Weird, i know.

I also am a bit noise-anxious. There again, i have no idea why. I wish noises didn't affect me as much as they did. But they do.

I also think i am a little social-anxious, as i was paranoid when trying to eat a sandwich the other week. I thought EVERYONE was looking at me. I felt a bit over-whelmed.

It's something that i am gonna look into getting help with, as i don't want any issues i have impacting on the way i live my life.

'Heartbeat'. Who was the best "Leading man"?.

I guess this post is aimed towards the people who used to watch 'Heartbeat'. I live with a big fan of the show (my mum) so have been forced to watch countless episodes.

So, who was the best leading man?. I think Steve was my favourite. He didn't have many storylines, but at least he didn't get married off to some doctor (every main character seem's to end up with a doctor or nurse). It was sad when he left (it's very sad, but won't spoil it for you).

I liked Joe as well, but maybe that's just because i liked the actor (i remember watching him in 'take the high road') when i was a kid.

Please don't hate me for saying this, but in my opinion, Mike and Rob were a tiny bit wooden for me to really care about. Sure, they were 'alpha males'. But boring.

I liked Nick, too. It's really sad when Kate left and he was left to raise baby Katie.

I also liked Phil. Thought he was far more likeable than some of the 'leading men' they had in the show.

Chick flicks i like:'My big fat greek wedding'.

I like this feel-good rom-com, about the romance between greek-american Toula and non-greek Ian, as it's a sweet story about how they fall in love and Ian tries to win over Toula's family.

There's no silly 'misunderstandings' stopping the pair being together. There's no cliche chases to the airport claiming undying love for each other. It's just a sweet (and actually very tame) story about two people falling in love (as i've already mentioned).

It's a good Sunday afternoon movie, or cold winter night kinda movie, as it really cheers me up after i've watched it. It just makes me feel happy. That's why i like it so much.

Taking a break from the pill.

I decided to use this time that my boyfriend and i are not seeing each other as often as we usually do to have a pill-free month.

I just wanted to check that everything is 'ok' without the pill. I've read a lot about how the pill can mess up all your hormones and things, and i just wanna give my body a break from the pill. It's not the only form of birth control (as we all know) so i have plenty of options on my pill free month (if circumstances did lead to boyfriend and i having alone time) so i know i'll be ok.

Also, i kinda wanna change the time i take the pill (i usually take it just before bed, but was thinking of taking it a little earlier in the evening) so the break will allow me to do that too.

Chick flicks i like: 'Starter for ten'.

Is this actually a chick flick? I'm not sure, but i really like this film.

It's set in 1985, and it's about a student who makes the uni's 'university challenge' quiz team, and how he falls in love with a team member, not realizing that the right girl for him is actually his friend.

It's actually a lot better than i've made it sound there. The scene where the main character has an akward encounter with team mate (and love interest) Alice's parents (who are in the nude) in the kitchen in the middle of the night is really funny.

It was my mum that told me about this film, and i loved it. And 90 minutes is just right time, as it doesn't feel too rushed or too dragged out either.

Ok, i need to have a massive rant.

I can't live in my house anymore. I am sitting here listening (or trying to listen) to my mp3 and all i can hear is the bloody neighbours techno dance trash, their bloody kids (and the rest of the neighbourhood kids who they take in) screaming. Their dogs bark 24/7 and they are drunk/stoned and yelling at each other.

I can't take anymore. I need out. I have no more tolerance to these people.

I can't go to sleep until their kids/ dogs stop making noise (thats about midnight) and i've tried earplugs and they don't even work. I get woke up in the middle of the night when their dogs decide to bark for no reason at all, and then for the rest of the day it's d.i.y, loud bloody techno crap, the adults screaming at each other, doors banging shut every time either them or their 100 daily visitors decide to have a smoke.

I just need a little peace. I can't even use my bedroom during the day due to next door's noise. I hate living in this bloody estate.

And Danny Trejo is advertising something too.

While i was posting about the Simon Baker ad, the ad breaks were on, and some product was being advertised by Danny Trejo.

This will interest my boyfriend, as he's a fan. I'm not so interested, sure, i've seen stuff he's in, but i haven't watched a lot of his stuff.

There's also George Clooney who advertises coffee. Bruce Willis advertises sky. So did Jennifer Aniston.

There's quite a lot of celeb's advertising stuff. If you like the celeb, does it make you wanna buy the product?.

For me, no. I buy new products regardless of who advertises them. I buy them because the advert has made me curious to what the product is like.

I'm sure there's a few people who do buy celeb-endorsed products. And if it works, why should the advertisers stop doing it?.
