I feel a little bit like I'm going insane! I haven't seen my friends properly in nearly 3 weeks and all I have been doing is filming! So, yesterday when I finished early for the first time in ages; I went straight to Brentwood and met Tony Trumpet for a quick coffee and then I drove to Shenfield to see Carolina. I stayed with her for a good few hours catching up on all the gossip of the last few weeks. Dave came and met me there at around half 7 and we grabbed a take away and took it home to eat. I have realised this week just how mush I need my friends around me to keep me sane. These last few days I have been feeling a little bit like I've lost the plot. It's been weeks since I spent quality time with Kyle. Lauren I've only seen twice in 3 weeks (when normally I see her every day), Sarah, Tony, Rusty - everyone in fact - I am missing them all like hell! I miss our stupid chats about anything from "is there life on other planets?" to "why I see sex as revenge". I miss them all making me laugh and I miss them because they are the only group of people in the whole world who truly understand me and my weird ways!!!!! They know me so well that we don't even have to speak. One look is enough to know what each other is thinking and in fact sometimes they know me better than I know myself! They understand my humour (which is often of a sexual nature and often quite warped!) and they know fully what gets me down and also what makes me tick. I love them and they love me. So...... to have not seen any of them properly for 3 weeks is slightly bothering me now! On the way home from filming tonight I called Kyle and Sarah and had quick chats but other than that I still won't get to see most of them til tomorrow or even next week. God, it's like a part of me is missing!
Anyway I won't rant on about it - just wanted to say how mush I love them and how mush I miss them! Tonight I want to talk about Sophia. Sophia is my make-up artist on this TV job. Sophia had Meningitis years ago and she lost both her legs from the knee down and also part of one of her hands. Obviously I noticed her hand straight away but I didn't know until days into the show that she had no legs (she's got fake ones so walks completely normally)! By the way, Sophia is totally cool with me talking about this on here! I want to talk about her because she is so amazing. She is living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to. She does a lot of work with others who have lost limbs, giving them support, encouragement and advice and quite simply I think she's an inspiration to everyone she meets. She has never let her disability get in the way of doing anything at all (in fact, she has even had a special pair of legs made so that she can go scuba diving on her holiday next week!) and even with a large part of her hand missing, she is still one of the best make-up artists I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
On top of all that, she's one of the nicest people ever. She's even more hyper and bubbly than me (if that's possible), she's hilariously funny and she's always smiling! She's dirty too (which, of course, I love!). The other day we were talking about when we get excited and someone asked me jokingly "are you excited now?" Sophia replied "Excited? Her clit's as big as an acorn right now!" ha ha - love it!!!!! Never heard that expression before but will use it forever more! Everyone on set loves her though. Most people don't know about her legs when she first meets them (she had to explain to one of the bosses the other day that she didn't have any legs when he asked what she meant about going to pick up a new pair of legs - he thought she meant table legs!) but she has no problem in talking about it. Oh and she's also beautiful and sexy! She is living her life to the absolute max and having a great time. She's got a lovely man who she loves to bits (and who she has LOTS of fun with, if the pictures on her ipod are anything to go by! Sorry Soph! ha ha).
Basically she is my new hero and I think she's the nuts! I am genuinely blown away by her ability to do absolutely anything she wants and to always do it with a smile on her face! If only everyone could meet her! She would give every single lazy, depressed, sad or just plain moaning person a right kick up the arse! Meeting and knowing her is absolute proof that the only person who can hold you back is YOU. So....... Because all of you cannot meet her; I wanted to tell you all about her instead. I want you to understand how courageous and inspirational she is and I want you all to think about just how mush we, as humans, can achieve if our minds and hearts are in the right place! Working with her has been amazing. She's one of the happiest and warmest people I've ever met and not only does she not let what's happened to her affect her life, but she doesn't ever feel sorry for herself or moan about it. Obviously we swopped numbers and will stay in touch because we got on so well (a lot to do with our similar dirty minds!) and I really hope we can work together again soon. I won't see her for the rest of filming because she is going off on holiday. Anyway; I think you probably get what I am trying to say! If Soph can pick herself up after losing both her legs and part of her hand and she can go onto become a successful business woman (she now owns her own company as well as being a GREAT make-up artist!) and also to be as happy and bubbly as she is (bringing joy to everyone she meets) then she's alright in my book, the old girl! Soph - you're incredible and have made me laugh more than anyone on this shoot! You've made every day easier and you've entertained me. You've helped me (with my difficult speeches!) and you've given me laughs in between all the hard stuff and all the dramas. Also you are filthy (my kinda girl!) and you are hilarious! I will never forget the "acorn" comment for as long as I live! Thank you for everything! Have a wicked holiday and call me when you get back! Oh - and by the way - the whole female crew now fancies Simon! God damn......... Sorry - private joke!!!!
Back to my life (or what there is of it in between working!). My dad and Dave put my Christmas lights up for me outside my house tonight. They look really pretty! Dave also decorated my second tree while I was at work today. It looks lovely! I have the white tree with black decorations in the black and white lounge and a normal green tree with gold decorations in the jungle room. My house feels really warm and Christmassy now; it's just a shame I don't feel warm and Christmassy! I've been working so mush I haven't really had time to think about Christmas and suddenly it is nearly upon us! It's like it just appeared out of the blue and I am like "Woah! Where did you come from? I wasn't expecting you just yet!" Oh well, I'm sure that come my birthday next week I will be feeling more "of Christmas cheer and spirit", and if not? Well I'll just get steaming drunk to make up for all the nights out I haven't had these last three weeks! Can't wait for the carnage to commence!
I am feeling a little sexually frustrated of late and today, one of the bosses on the TV show worked out why! It's because I've been totally covered up from head to toe for the whole of this job! I'm not used to wearing this many clothes! Normally the puppies are out at least a few times a week to soak up the fresh air and if they're not out, well then at the very least my stomach is on show! You only have to look at my pics on here or on myspace to see that most of my outfits are revealing to some extent. This job has been a serious one and one which required a total change of image (I've been in suits and all sorts!) but it has sent me a bit mad! I'm not used to being this conservative and it has made me even more rude of the tongue than ever before! The boss man pointed out that being covered up is the reason I am thinking about sex non-stop (I didn't want to tell him I do that anyway, regardless of what I've been wearing!) but on some weird level I think he is right. Wearing suits every day has certainly made me want to let rip a little more than normal - it's kind of like my personality has died with the skimpy outfits or at least been suffocated by the suits and therefore, in between being serious on set; I am thinking about sex non-stop and talking about it. It's such a terrible shame that by the time I get home all my energy is zapped because otherwise Dave would be having the time of his life right now!!!
Folks, have a great night and a wonderful Friday! I now have a few days off! Yipeeeeeee! I'm hopefully going to actually get some Christmas shopping done instead of just laying around trying to catch up on some rest! I'm off to get Paddy and Lyla from my mum's house now and I'm going to spend the rest of the night playing on Myspace and lying on the sofa with my babies!
All my love to you all and a special big kiss and cuddle to Sophia who has brought me happiness, laughter, friendship and inspiration!
