I know I said I'd write yesterday but I couldn't be bothered in the end and didn't have much time anyway as it turned out. Saturday night, we didn't end up going to Rick's birthday (long story - don't wanna go into it) which is a shame as I love Rick but we did end up in Sugar Hut drinking lots and lots of practically neat vodka. Not big or clever but thoroughly needed. The builder and his mates were all with us and my brother was already in there with School Teacher Lauren so we met up with them.
Lauren had been kind of dating this guy she met a few weeks ago. He'd even gone over to her dad's house with her one Friday night when she had to stay in and babysit for him. They'd been getting on really well and although she wasn't under any illusion that he might be "the one", she liked him a fair amount. Anyway, she'd arranged to meet him in Sugar Hut on Sat night and was looking forward to seeing him.When he arrived however, he wasn't alone. He had, in tow, a girl - who he'd also been kind of dating! Now, I know men are stupid and play games sometimes (hell, I know more than most what men are capable of) but oh my god! What on earth was he thinking?! Lauren spent the first part of the night sitting on one side of him while the girl sat quietly on the other side. Lauren quickly realised what a messer the guy was and immediately went off him but it was actually the other girl we both felt sorry for. He'd brought her all the way from London to sit on a half-date with his "other" bird. She didn't know anyone and it was a shock (to say the least) to discover he'd actually taken her out to watch him chat up another bird he liked. What a freak! Is it just me or is the whole world going mad?! Sorry, just had to mention that little incident to stress again that it's no wonder we girls can never seem to find a decent man (except for a certain builder of course). Anyway, our answer to that was to get legless on the dance floor and pass out in the VIP room later on. A mercy plea to all boys - TRY, just TRY to be normal! We don't mind if you've got a pot belly or a flat nose, that's just cute. We don't mind if you play football or ride motorbikes or haven't shaved for a week, that's just manly. We don't mind if you can't cook or clean, we can pay for that. Just don't bring two girls out on a date on the same night. Surely that's not asking too mush?! Is it? Is it really, I ask you? Jeeeez. What is up with you? Needless to say, Lauren won't be taking his calls in the future
So, yesterday, instead of having a lovely Sunday lie-in, me and the builder both got up really early. He, to go and play paintball in a field with 30 of his mates and me, to go on Talksport radio with James Whale. I stumbled into the car with last night's make up still on and arrived at the studio, pillow under arm, looking like death. Had ten minutes to wake up properly and then went on air for two hours. James is a really nice guy. I've been on the show before and the first time I didn't really know what to make of him. After further thought, I've come to the conclusion that actually he is just very outspoken and honest. Opinionated with good reason and very very funny. We were debating something that was in the papers yesterday (sheep being wrestled during rugby matches for entertainment in New Zealand) which had thoroughly disgusted James and I, when this woman calls in to say that she didn't see anything wrong with it. She reckoned that as they weren't killing the sheep, it ws ok. We tried to explain to her that even if they weren't killing them, a 20 stone rugby player jumping on top of them was surely gonna hurt and/or cause horrific injury and she still wasn't getting it. Mid stupid rant from her, James simply cuts her short, says "yes well, it's because of people like you that we have world wars" and hangs up on her. Classic. School teacher Lauren who was sitting in the control room watching through the glass had a hysterical laughing fit and we carried on laughing all day. Anyway, had a very good time with James and a number of calls from listeners who reckoned I should run for Prime Minister. Now THERE'S an idea! Model, presenter, actress, author and Prime Minister?! I'm liking how that sounds actually
Also had lots of good feedback from people calling in who had watched Trust Me I'm a Holiday Rep. I'm so glad I did that show! Not only did I have massive amounts of fun but people finally got to see the real me, which is NOT the stupid, annoying, dumb, attention-seeking bint the papers and magazines would have you believe Jodie Marsh is. Any journalist trying to make out that I am still that, after watching the show, is lazy and cheap (or just jellus that I'm living my life to the full and making all my dreams come true). Anyway, it was very nice to hear that I do have a lot of support out there and that people are not as dumb as the press think. They actually don't believe everything they read and when confronted with the truth ie. that I'm actually a decent, down to earth, intelligent human being; they no longer agree with all the crap that gets written about me. Lovely. Will definitely go on the show again soon with James - I think we make a good team! He's a very interesting and intelligent man and I thoroughly enjoyed the chat!
Came home from that to have Sunday Roast with my mum and dad and brother and Lauren. After that the builder came over and we laid on the sofa for a while, letting our dinner go down. Last night we went to my brother's gig at Sugar Hut and had a very good time. Lauren, for fun, wore a giant afro wig I bought recently. She looked like Makosi from Big Brother in it. Will post a picture on as soon as I have the time. Jordan, as usual, was on top form and had the whole place screaming for more at the end. Even the builder has asked for one of his cd's - which is saying a lot cos when I looked in his car, he only had R n B compilations and had never been to a live music gig before he met us. Jordan does rock though and anyone that has seen him play will tell you that. He's like a young Paul Weller. He writes all his own stuff and sings like Stevie Wonder/Curtis Mayfield/ Weller combined. His piano skills - well, don't even go there. Put it this way; Jools Holland wouldn't come close. Yes really.
Jordan is playing at Embassy again this Thursday so anyone interested in hearing him, come down! He's got a few record companies coming to check him out. He's already signed to Sanctuary Management but they are hanging out for the right deal for him. It'll be a very good night anyway and if you wanna see him now in a small venue, I'd seriously suggest coming cos it won't be long before he'll be playing in places the size of Wembley and he'll just be a tiny dot on stage! He's on at 11pm so get there early!
Today I am doing boring work stuff from home and as I can't avoid my mum any longer over sorting out VAT stuff, I'm gonna have to face up to it and spend the next few hours going through recepits. NOT FUN. Tonight though, am taking the builder, Sarah, Lauren and the builder's brother to an event in town. It's an album launch of some guy that won a Mobo. My mate Nick is organising it so it should be good. I think it's time to treat the builder to something more than just darts in my local anyway. Will probably pop to Ten Room's afterwards to see my mate Patrick Alan (lead singer of The Drifters). He sings there every Monday and it's always a good night.
Oh, while I think of it, thought I'd tell you all that on Thursday I am going to a sexual health clinic to have a check up. I was due for a smear a while back and had one at my GP's surgery. Unfortunately, they couldn't get a reading from it. Not to be too graphic, but I'm really small inside and always bleed when they hit the, ooops, that's way too mush information. Anyway, since I need another one and have decided to take control of my health (let's face it, I've been out with some rough blokes!), I'm gonna have a full check up just to be on the safe side. Have told the builder that, he too should have one. I think it's very important to be able to trust each other so that when you start a new relationship, you can start with a clean slate or genitalia so to speak. Too many people these days are too quick to sleep with people without using any kind of protection and if you wanna do that then fine - it's your own health you're putting at risk but I won't do it. When I meet a guy, if I think it's gonna turn serious, both parties get checked so that we CAN sleep together happy in the knowledge that neither of you is carrying any sort of disease. The way I see it, if I sleep with a guy without a bag on, I'm also sleeping with the 30 girls he slept with before me! Gross. At least this way, you can be on the pill and face no risk of infection. Unless of course they cheat on you, at which point, you put their balls in a vice and the family name ends there. Just though I'd share that with you because no doubt some muppet from Hell will ring up a paper or magazine and tell them they've just spotted Jodie Marsh at a sex clinic. Before you know it, it's all over the press that I've got a disease or something (like the time I was in hospital on a drip and morphine for Chicken Pox and Shingles and it was reported that I was in there having a boob job - oh yeah, cos they do boob jobs at the ear, nose and throat ward at Harold Wood! Lying scumbag freaks. Trust me, if I have a boob job, you'll be the first to know - I wouldn't lie about it like others - Jennifer Ellison). No, people, I'm just doing what all normal, decent human beings should do AND setting a good example to others! Go get checked! Chlamydia for one, has no symptoms and can make a woman infertile. I haven't had it (luckily, but no thanks to some of my ex's who were probably crawling with disease) but I sure as hell am not gonna take a chance.
So, that's it for now. To everyone that has given me support recently and to all the amazing people that have written to me (I am getting round to replying, I promise, just waiting for new autograph cards), just wanna say (in the words of gay Steve when I managed to have the builder sat next to me ten minutes after we'd spotted him across a club and decided that he was fit) - I'm LOVIN' your work! We'll go far, me and you!
With as much love as all the blades of grass in the world (and that's A LOT), have a happy, shiny Monday and I might write again later when I need a break from recepits.
