Defying Gravity

KERRY ELLIS DEFYING GRAVITY LYRICS

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't bring me down
Mmm-mmm

I'm through accepting limits
Cos someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But til I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love it comes at
Much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
I'm way up high, I'm defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know
It sounds truly crazy
And, true, the vision's hazy
But I can see it
I can feel it
I swear I'll be so high
yeah yeah

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves a chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me
ah yeah

It's time to try defying gravity
I'm way up high, I'm defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me
You won't bring me down
aaah
ah-ah-ah-ahhh

Some good news :D

My dad had his scan today, from what they could see it's pretty certain there aren't any tumours which is a massive relief!! There was some free fluid found and there looks to be a problem with some of the veins in there so we'll have to wait and see what the consultant says on 21st April (my poor daddy having to go to hospital on his burpday!). In the mean time he looks pretty certain to be given the all clear in April and then have to have treatment for whatever the problem is...I think it's an infection but I'm not medically trained so it's just speculation.

In other news, I had the second interview and I should know tomorrow (in fact, later today) if I've got an offer of a job! From what they said to me it seems pretty likely. Please keep everything crossed though (for anyone who's out there and can cope with my ramblings, hehe)

?

Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life, I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?
Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around

(these obviously belong to Meatloaf, not my words - they just seem appropriate at the moment)

Fucking NHS

I've just spent almost three hours with my Dad at the emergency doctors. My poor dad has had a serious increase in pain over the weekened and after I nagged at him, he rang NHS Direct for some advice. They sent him to the emergency doctors where after being seen over two hours later than his appointment time he was told to increase the paracetamol and ibuprofen he's already taking and if it gets worse to go to A&E...surely this advice could have been given over the phone?

At least he has his scan booked in for thursday, I'm just hoping he doesn't need to go to a&e in the mean time...

Crazy Day...or the day I was the stupidest human being on the planet!

Had a very interesting day today.

Woke up to Thnks Fr Th Mmrs on my iDock at 10am-ish. Picked up my phone had 4 missed calls....ugh! One was an unknown and three were my voicemail (yes I can sleep through pretty much anything). Listened to it and thought I was dreaming....It was from a company I used to work for offering me a one years temporary contract. Then spent a couple of hours going WTF? No way!!! to myself whilst nattering on the phone to some friends.

After hanging up the phone I had another voicemail and listened...it was the agency with permanent job in Harrogate that I've got my eye on. They want to interview me on Friday.

So now I'm being rather naughty. I'm telling the company with the temporary job that I need some more information and will consider it over the weekend (going to Tiverton apparently) and the agency have said I'll know by Monday if I have a job offer there so I can take the temporary job if the permanent job comes up.

So the reason I am the stupidest human being on the planet...I only realised that I effectively have a job, the only thing I need to do is dot the i's and cross the t's ;)

This song is getting played far too much on my iTunes....



LOVE IT!!!!

Fail!!

Well, I said way back in my blog I was hoping to have a job by now and I've failed! There's just not much out there for anyone but Payroll jobs are really thin on the ground too. Unfortunately it's very cyclical in Payroll and there are quiet patches that can go on for months and if the last agency I spoke to are to be believed, there should be some Payroll jobs coming up especially as Year End is looming so it's more waiting.

My dad has his clinic appointment for 21st April (his birthday and also five years to the day since he had his radical prostatectomy) so we're waiting for the scan appointment to come through and fingers crossed he won't need to be called back to clinic before the 21st.

I seem to be waiting for something to happen, I just don't know what it is yet. Whatever it is, could it hurry up and get here?

Open mouth....insert foot

It's not very often I do this but when I do, I do it with style....ha!

My mate and I had a bit of a daft joke about me giving her a birthday smooch and it seems to have gotten out of hand...bollocks.

We had a peck (so not even a smooch) and I've got her asking me if I'd expected more to happen....argh!!!

I've now said to her 'you do realise its all a bit of banter and a bit of fun right' and I'm worried I've hurt her feelings...I know I *probably* haven't but it seems like I have put my foot in it...big time!!!
