well my sweetest of the sweet things.
the world is so full of lovely people and I seem to know sooo many of them!
just to let anyone who needs to know:
I am no longer at my old nantgaredig address so trying to contanct me there is kind of pointless, if any contacting does need to be done (ALWAYS welcome from any of you lovelies) then I am staying at the most gorgeously hospitable and wonderfully wonderful Turtles' house
damn it, I was going to put up my email mobile number etc but realise this may be kind of foolish. erm... maybe I'll email it out or something.
anyway 'toodle-pip'

how can you hoard memories? how can you be sure your memory will be enough? so many important and influential things...times... how do we know they won't just fade and become nothing? there's SO much IMPORTANT stuff... I just don't want it to slip away.

hey there me bunnikins
I've been having mental debates as to whether or not to post this blog... but then I just thought what the hell, this may need to be said for my peace of mind and even perhaps sanity. I don't want to be someone who will not appologise because I belive I am right and everyone else is wrong, and I strive to see things in pretty much the opposite way, if possible.
(this is to be read as with a slight sense of humour in mind preferably, not depressive or anything. I can't really tell what it looks like from the outside. I think that's the main problem really, I'm losing the ability to see things from more than one point of view and retreat evermore into my own selfish and singleminded...self):
I just wanted to say that I'm sure I haven't been acting 100% great recently and want to appologise for any bad behaviour. I haven't done anything on purpouse, it's just every now and then I sort of wake up and realise I've been being more of a complete idiot than usual, without really noticing, and I do really hope I haven't done anything to offend/hurt or in the more extreeme cases horribly dismember any of you lovely guys. there is no excuse for it and I can only hope no one's noticed and I'm merely being deluded about my importance (though NOT paranoid, I hope) anyway where was I? er, yeah, I think what I mean to say if IF you have noticed me acting badly or I have done anything bad to hurt anyone then it is not intentional and I do realise I'm being silly and am trying to sort myself out. so sorry my hearties, we must appologise for any inconvenience caused and are doing all we can to resume normal service as soon as possible.
love y'all (really really, you are all such fantastically great people, as charl mentions in her blog)
how do you do it?

I’ve realised that I keep getting annoyed with people for doing things like drinking coke and eating at Mac Donalds when I think they should know better, but these multinational companies’ crimes aren’t such common knowledge, so here is my attempt to re-educate (mwahaha sounds vaguely dictatorship-style) at least a small portion of the world.
This week: Coke
This wonderfully healthy little soft drink (which incidentally has the equivalent of 12 sugar lumps per bottle) is not the sweet and innocent thing that it may appear to be. I can’t explain the exact story all that easily so I’ll give you the words of the great David (“Dave”) Rovics:

Coke came to Collumbia
Seeking lower wages
They got just what they came for
But as we turn the pages
We learn the workers do not like the sound
of their children’s hungry cries
So they said ‘we’ll join the unions’
The began to organise
So coke called up a terrorist group
Called the AUC
Said ‘we’ve got some problems
at the factory’ the AUC went to the plant
killed two union men
told the rest ‘you leave the unions’
‘or we’ll be back again’
Well coke did not complain
About this dirty deed
Why give workers higher wages
When coke is all they really need?
They phoned the AUC said
‘thanks, without you we’d go broke
and to show our appreciation,
here’s one hundred cases of coke’
Tha baby drinks it in his bottle
When the water aint no good
The dog drkinks it
but he don’t know if he should
some folks say it’s the nectar of the gods
but coke is the drink of the death squads.

That is, coke hired people to kill their workers for asking for enough money to live on. I really ought to put some sources here to prove it, but don’t know where to start: no one seems that bothered by it. It’s only people’s lives after all.
Some more coke facts:
It takes twice the volume of water actually included in coke to make it
Every bottle of coke has the equivalent of 12 sugar lumps in it (said that have I? well don't forget it. 12!)
Doesn’t it sound healthy? And if you’ve ever put an old copper coin in some coke for a while and seen what it can do… then imagine what it does to your insides. So it’s popular – not only does the company that makes it kill people so that the directors can make just a bit more profit and perhaps buy that bit more for their home or have their personalised number plates on their … expensive cars (note amazing knowledge in field of car prices), but the drink rots your teeth, makes you fat and plays hell with your insides.
What’s the point in drinking it? Fruit juice or even water is soo much better for you and doesn’t tend to involve deaths.
Here’s a link, because that shows I haven’t made all of this up:

http://www.cokewatch.org/
http://www.killercoke.org/
also the comedian Mark Thomas seems quite in with the whole coke thing. He’s pretty damn good about it too. I wish I could give the argument in the way he did, or even just remember the stuff he said – after seeing his ‘piece’ on coke it made me want to go round sabotaging coke machines. They pay schools to put coke machines in, meaning they sponsor education and are directly targeting ‘youths’… there was more point to it than that but can’t remember the argument.
The bit that got to me the most was, some of the union leaders had to get bodyguards because they were so in danger, and one bodyguard and his wife were shot in front of their children while in their car at a drive through.
This is just for money!! I just can’t understand it. These are people’s lives – lives no less important than ours. Yours.
And what can we do? Some people go over to collumbia and other places in the same situation and help. Home of them get shot. We don’t need to put out lives in danger – we can ever be healthier by helping and not buying coke or other products of the coca cola company, such as:fanta, sprite… erm… I forget the others (I don’t buy them)
I wish I had the time and energy to really do this properly and actually get through to people. I can’t imagine the vaguely impassioned rants of one eighteen year old is going to make all that much difference, even in my corner of the earth, but I feel I must do something rather than keep putting it off. It’s so easy for us to forget how good life is here and just to buy one can may seem harmless but it can make a difference. These are people’s lives and a little ‘inconvenience’ for us can do something. By not consuming as much sugar you are also doing good for the whole planet.
I wish I could make people care, and didn’t feel bad about trying to induce guilt… but really think if it was you, your life threatened because of wages, wouldn’t you be grateful of anything done to help?

more thanks and gratfullness to be given out (still no coke message - my friends must remain ignorant because of my selfishness for still longer...): big big BIG thanks to ralph for friendliness and generally putting up with my sobbing (much remeniscient of poppy's apres-crash blog, I qote:) "I dont cry *ahem*" ...yes sorry about that but lost of hugs and thankyous to the very gentlemanly ralph - the dude!
and thanks for concern from elswhere too (esp. from pppoppet! hehe), it was very touching!
yeah... I was meant to not say much about it so charl would be the only one who knew exactly what happened - yes I did like the idea and I tried, but didn't do too well - another thing to keep quiet was not really what I needed.. and it wasn't really possible after... erm... yeah
ANYway..
stupid bloody clivey
