Well! I think I should post about my Christmas sometime now... where to start...

Well Friday morning we finished off the last of the Christmas shopping, then in the evening we went to the Village pantomime, which was quite funny. I didn't stay at the pub afterwards, didn't feel much like it!

Sunday, we went to my Nan's for Christmas Eve tea - beef cobs and nibbles! My uncle Roger and his partner Barbara came over and brought me a christmas present - despite being told not to buy me one back! My auntie Jean and uncle Ray were also there and they too bought me a present!!

James and Dawn arrived later Christmas Eve, they brought Willis with them and a huge bag of presents! They joined Mum and Dad at the pub but came back earlier than the 'rents. After everyone had gone to bed, I made sure Santa had put all the presents out, before going to bed on the sofa.

Christmas morning I got up at 7:30am, and laid the selection boxes and stockings on the sofas. I then went and made the smoked salmon nibbles and brought the bucks fizz and James'non-alcoholic blue champagne. Then came the long bit of waiting for everyone else to get up.

Once everyone was up and loaded with drinks and nibbles, we dived into the presents!
( presents )

After the presents, we got ready to go to the pub for Dinner with Nan, Jean and Ray. It was a nice 4 course meal, good company, good food.

In the evening we had family time, and then James, Dawn and I played Trivial Pursuit.

Boxing Day, we all went to Nan's again for a big family get together! Then played more games at night.

James and Dawn left Thursday to go back home. Today I went to the hospital >.< I hate the hospital. I've lost 8lb since my last check up, and I had to go have blood tests to check my tablets aren't affecting my kidneys or liver since they're still experimental.

About 6 hours in KH2 - I think it's helping me to mourn. I know Riyu is still there with all of us! My heart goes out to Yuki, Suki and Kham and all those who were close to him. God knows what they're going through. It's still pretty unreal to say the least. But as I've said before, and will probably say a million more times as I mourn - Riyu will never truly be gone because Sora = Riyu = Sora. I did a little sketch last night for him, but it's not very good, so I probably won't post it. Kham allowed me to use his banner of Riyu, which is incredibly kind! It's on my profile!

Happy New Year Ladies and Gems!

I hope you all had a good night last night and didn't get too drunk / high last night!! I personally was on soft drinks all night! Go me! But as usual we went to the pub to see the new year in. There was a disco and buffet and PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT woo! It wasn't too bad of a night, Ade was looking smokin' as usual - damn him for being so gorgeous!!

Donna's boyfriend Kev was all flirty all night o.O it was rather disturbing, he kept telling me I was beautiful and he dragged me onto the dancefloor and spent the entire time looking down my top!

Nan came over for dinner today, it was really nice! We had prawn cocktail for starters, cheesy jacket potatoes, roasted veg pasta, and salmon (I had chicken) for main course, Mum, Dad & Nan had tiamasu for dessert, I had cheesecake, then there was a cheese course, followed by coffee and after dinner mints.

After dinner I brought my new ps2 down and had like 15 attempts at DanceUK:XL, I still suck even at beginners level, but I'm getting better - YAY.

So...

My highlights of 2005:
1) Seeing Fozzy live (x2)
2) All the wonderful, wonderful friends I've made through SD
3) My great trip to Skegness with the family for my 21st.

Goals for 2006:
1) Lose weight (either lose it or not see next year!)
2) See Fozzy again
3) Make more friends
4) Get out more

I'M BACK!!

Wow, the last few days have flown by, butt hey've been uberly busy!! We went out out Friday night, down to the pub, since a lot of Duncan's friends were meeting there for a pre-wedding party - sort of defeats the point of their stag weekend in Budapest, non?

Anyways, I got to meet some of Duncan's best friends, and also see soem I haven't seen for years, including the delightful and smexay Steve, my crush since I met him like in 1998 or something! Everyone said he looked like a dork when we met him, and now they're all like...*drool* I saw his potential as a mini-sex god! If anyone wants to kidnap him for my 21st Bday, please do!!

Patrick - My other cousin, the groom's brother happened to fall over on the way home, slashing his face open, there was a hell of a lot of blood, but no breaks luckily! But he did have a busted up face for the wedding photos!!

I DIDN'T HAVE TO WEAR MY STUPID HAT!!! On Friday afternoon, I MADE a facinator for my hair (a feathery flowery thing on a clip) abd it looked a million times better than my hat! I was also given my bday present from my brother and Dawn early so I could wear that! A white gold choker! It's beautiful!!

Duncan looked great in his suit and Tish looked amazing in her wedding dress! The dinner and reception were in a beautiful place! And there was a beautiful firework display!

I had my caricature done by an artist who was there as part of the entertainment. It's ace, I'll have to scan it in!!

Meh there are and hundred and one things I could ramble about, but, I'm sure no one but me is interested. Steve is so hot - Why am I soooooo shy and scared of rejection?! Everyone is saying I should have made a move on him - As if that'll ever happen!!

Squeeeeee I got my birthday cake today!! It's so pretty, my Nan made it and my Auntie iced it!! It's got a 21 Key on it from my DAD's 21st!! ^_^ It's also got keys for me and little silver 21s and a flower ^_^ yay me!!

Current Mood: thoughtful

Went to Rob Benson's birthday party on Tuesday, it was great fun!!! I gave him his present...(It was a black frame with a picture of Marc Bolan and Mickey Finn in it)...He liked it, apparently it's his favourite picture of them *grins* He also liked the card I got him!!!

There was live music and a buffet at the party and Rob even got up and performed some T-Rex songs!!! I got to have a chat with Rob...always fun!!!

Marc gave me a flower (one Rob had been given for his bday) and then Rob gave me the other and told me to look after them forever...So Mum and I have put them in a book to press them!!!

Tom and Ian are insane...SWE is great...Ian??? p00t!! p00t p0000000t p00t :):):) p00t

They were doing submission moves on each other today and making each other tap...fun to watch apart from Tom claims he has a broken arm now!!

Ian...You fight like a dairy farmer!!!

I haven't spoke to Julie in almost a month...this sucks and I really dunno if I see a future for us :( *pouts*

Ack...A million years since I updated...Well Thursday night I went to the pub with Mum to see George perform...He rocks...He is amazing on guitar!!! And he has a really unique voice!!!

Rob was there and at first I thought he was mad with me or something because he blanked me, but then he waved but still didn't speak, I was sat on the floor and he came and knelt beside me and chatted, he told me Paul Fenton was coming down and he'd let me know when they'd be in the pub, so he took my mobile number *giggles*

Yesterday was my official 1 Year Anniversary *smiles* I love her to bits, I wish I could have stayed online with her *pouts* But Rob texted me to tell me they were at the pub...Chloe tried the guilt trip on me as if I wasn't feeling bad enough already *sighs* I just dunno where things stand or where they are going anymore

So I went down to the pub...Paul recognised me and hugged me and gave me a kiss *giggles* heh heh and he mentioned that I have one of the very last autographs from Mickey!!! That makes me feel so honoured and makes the DVD cover mean just so much more

Rob and I had a really long talk about Marc Bolan...well more he was telling me lots of stories about the real Marc and the truth behind the man, from what he's learnt from Mickey and Paul...I dunno whether they are private or not though so I best not say too much!!!

Rob asked me to go back down today...Barry was in (T-Rex's manager), I didn't really get to meet him as such because he left soon after their meal, but he looked nothing like I expected!!! Paul Fenton brought a folder of valuable memories over for me to look at...there were original photos, newspaper articles, things Marc had written by hand, a signed copy of Bolan's book, the
certificate that proves Paul has rights to the band names, just so many memories, personal memories, 40-odd years worth of Paul's life was in my hands *smiles*

OMG TOM IAN AND I ARE GOING TO WWE ROAD TO INSURREXTION!!!! Mum booked the tickets this morning!!!! Wooooooooooooo *Ric Flair impression* I can't wait it'll be so cool!!!

Weeeeee my Leap of Faith video came on Friday, I've already watched it 3 times...It is soooooooooo good...I love Matt and Jeff!!! I hope they reunite soon!!!

I went to see Rob perform last night at the pub, he was amazing yet again!!! I love him he rocks!!!

I've discovered it's not safe to sit near him when he performs...I almost got hit in the head many times by his hat and his tambourine...He needs to learn how to catch heh...Being at the front also makes you very close to his feet when he kicks!!! And puts you in talking distance

Gah he made me go all mushy and embarassed...When he was doing his acoustic set he played the first few beats of "Spaceball Ricochet" stopped, looked at me and said this is your favourtie song isn't it? this one? and played it to me *giggles*

I took loads of pictures...but for some reason my dorkzilla camera decided to wipe the first half >.< *beats it with a stick* Stupid dork thing!!! That totally reeked of unawesomeness

Rob did some great songs heh, the usual T-Rex stuff, like "Born to Boogie", "20th Century Boy", "Get It On", "I Love to Boogie", "METAL GURU", "HOT LOVE", "SPACEBALL RICOCHET", "The Groover", "Telegram Sam", "Ride A White Swan", "Cosmic Dancer", "New York City", "Solid Gold Easy Action", "Children of the Revolution", "Teenage Dream", "Debora", "The Slider", "Sing Me a Song", and probably some more I've missed out hehe

He also did some Bowie and some Lennon plus a few others heh...He did "Life On Mars" and now it's stuck in my head again >.< gah esp with him doing it last!!!...OMG He sounds so much like both Bolan and Bowie!!!

Marc did 5-6 songs with Rob...he's getting really good *nods* he just needs to build his confidence up hehe

After the show was done I hung around with Marc for awhile, he wants me to go to the Wine Bar with him and his friend sometime heh...Then I spoke to Rob for awhile, he was telling me stories about Mickey...I'd love to just sit and talk to Rob about him *nods* it would be so interesting...Rob is so easy to talk to, I feel so comfortable with him, he tells me really interesting stuff that Mickey told him that not many people know, I love him involving me!!!

Chris from the T-Rex forum was in heh he's a sweetie!!! I sat next to him and his wife for the show!!!

Paul James got a blow up guitar and went up with Rob during "Cosmic Dancer" "playing" his new guitar and singing...only they changed the words to "Cosmic Wanker" hehe >.< I don't think mr Bolan would've approved!!!

Rob was gonna tell me the story behind Mickey's fame line in "Get It On"...."While meanwhile...I'm still thinking" but his taxi came *pouts* I'll have to ask next time heh

...OK so I haven't done a proper update on here in forever heh...

So what has been happening in the world of Kristina Carr? Not much as it so happens...probably why i haven't updated for awhile

Well OK...where to start?! Thursday was a blast, I went to the pub to see Fraz perform, I love Fraz he is an amazing singer...his voice is so strong *giggles* Mum and I ended up sat on the floor taking photos and bopping, he kept smiling at us and Eleanor laughed at me because I said after Rob's show I wouldn't sit on the floor again...

...Rob made me laugh, Fraz sang a song by "Christie" the band Paul Fenton was in before T-Rex...and Rob was stood playing imaginary drums as if he were Paul *giggles* he looked cute

Eleanor and Rob seem to think I have a crush on Marc, the first thing Eleanor said to me was "I dunno were Marc is tonight" *growls softly* I just enjoy his company!!!

Rob and Eleanor spent quite awhile talking to me, I laugh chatting to them, they rock, I got hugs and kisses off them both!!! And I had a talk with Fraz *smiles*

So, today I went into Sleaford to pay dad's cheque into the bank...on my way back to the bus stop I got stopped by a gypsy...now usually I would have walked away but she knew too much about me to be fake...

She told me I had had trouble with my weight, that I lost a lot and then got ill and put it back on plus more besides, and I have to lose it slowly and it will stay off. She told me that my mum was ill, but she would be okay. She told me my dad loves me even though he never says it. She said I don't go out much and I need to go out more. she told me I've been hurt in past relationships but this one will be okay. She told me I will have three children. I was told I will see the age of 89, and that a dark haired, older man will look after me. She told me I have back and stomach trouble but my health will improve, she told me I need to stop wearing black and start wearing bright colours and stop hiding myself.

Eeeps, it was scary she knew so much and I didn't tell her anything...oh and I'm gonna have a good August *grins*

Ian says I have to get into the WWE just so he can hear Jim Ross shout "OH MY GOD THE CARR-WRECK, KRISTINA JUST HIT THE CARR-WRECK" heh that would be cool...Tom wants me to get in so he can hit me over the head with a steel chair....how nice my friends are heh

Well that is all for now *V1 and GUNZ* Laterz y'all

I have been working everyday this week down Metheringham Fen, getting a little bit of money together....Now I can afford my book when it comes out on the 18th March

Also I want to buy a Hardy Boyz Ball and Chain Pendent like Matty wears...I've wanted one since they came out *grins*

I LOVE Jeff Hardy...he is such an amazing guy, a talented wrestler, an amazing poet and a genuine kind man!!! I so wanna meet him!!! I also love Matt Hardy's eyes....I might write a poem about them!!!

I have written a lot of poetry from other peoples perspective's this week...or as Jeff would call it Emoetry *grins* I love writing

I went to the pub on Thursday and saw Kriz from BC Sweet perform, he was very good, apart from when he forgot the words and when he attempted "Bohemian Rhapsod" heh heh...he did "Blockbuster" which is my favourite Sweet song!!! I got his autograph in my little book!!! Weeeeeee I have 7 now (only 6 famous-ish people though)
1. Paul Fenton
2. Rob Benson
3. Paul James
4. Mark Devanche
5. (Jan)

Rob Benson was there and we had a nice chat about T-Rex, Paul Fenton, tours, the industry, Alan Silson, web sites...

I was babysitting last night, I started my reply to Jess' letter, 5 pages so far, she rocks I love her to bits, I really respect her and cherish her *huggles her*

I also need to reply to Jenny's letter at some time heh heh...she also rocks my world!!! I'm really glad we sorted everything out, things feel more like old times now *grins*...We had a long talk and sorted everything out, and now we both have RPing LJ's I feel close to her again *hugs her*

I got to talk to my baby on the phone this morning, it feels like forever since we spoke *pouts* I feel so distant from her, I feel like she doesn't wanna be near me anymore...I had an arguement with her sister the other night too *sighs heavily* I miss the ways things used to be between us

Haha Ian and I need lives...we both IMed the whole of Ning Nang Nong together line by line heh heh...

I'm finding my C/W hard...It doesn't sound very Pippin-like *sighs* I'm trying to capture his character but it isn't going too well...I suppose I should get back to it ...

Last night was so cool, the band were good and the company was amazing!!! Pete and Mark spent the entire night "arguing" over whose "bird" I was...even though they were just messing, it felt good to have people fighting over me rather than taking the piss...All night they fought over who could hold me and both kept kissing me hehe, it was so much fun...Mark had always been an untouchable figure at school yet talking to him last night it was if I'd always been really close to him!!!

Mark and I had a heart to heart about the mistakes he has made in his life and Danni...he is so deep once you get past his cockiness!!!

Pete and I had a slow dance and both of them kept making me dance lots, they wanted me to relax and enjoy myself and block out everyone else, Pete got my dad to take loads of photo's of the 3 of us...I can't believe how they brought me in and involved me...Pete said it was so nice to see a familiar smiling face from school, it's been about 2 years since I saw him, 4 years since I saw Mark...they are such nice lads now!!!

I got another e-mail off Marc...the funeral went well, as far as funerals can and Paul Fenton and Rob benson send their love to me =)!!!

I spoke to Julie on the phone for 3hrs 32mins today YAY!!! I love her so much, we had a cry and a heart to heart Baby I love you, you won't lose me, I'm yours!!! We also had some fun ;)...It was nice to just sit and talk, but I burnt my arm =(...twice!!!

Saw Mark and Pete today...both extremely hung over...i doubt either of them can remember what they were saying last night hehe!!! They were both on the sofa under a blanket with their legs over each other *giggles*...I took some old pictures of them round...it was funny!!!

I must get Pete and Mark's addresses and numbers before they go home!!!

well ciao for now!!

I got up at 9:50am to get ready for work, I had a shower because there was no hot water for a bath *pouts*, I got dressed, I had tomato sauce on toast for my breakfast...Then I finished getting ready and went to work....

My first job was to fill the salt pots...Then the day just got worse from there...We had to practise holding three plates on one arm...We used empty, cold plates and had to walk to the bar and back, I managed that just...but then when we had hot full plates, I couldn't do it and I am way too slow >.< I hate it, I can't do it...I have blisters on my feet and sore legs...The only thing I was good at was washing up...but I got £22.50 for it...and a Sunday dinner...I sat next to Paul for the Prawn Cocktail and I didn't spill it....GO ME!!! Then I was sat next to Charlotte for the main dinner...I had to take my shoes off walking home *cries*

I got home about 5ish, talked to my parents and am now sulking online!!!

I got another e-mail from Marc Benson *smiles softly* he likes the poems I sent him yay, he said I inspired him to write a poem =)...I dunno what time he comes online, because I was late going to bed last night, so he either goes on very late or very early in the morning...Oh well...I hope he replies to the mail I sent him...

I missed Julie so much today =( I missed talking to her on the phone =( no fair!!!
