To eBay, or not to eBay? that is the question...

i have tons of stuff that i never use and i'm thinking of getting rid of. here i'm posting some pics of some objectionable items of clothing that i have been given over the years and am thinking of ebaying. if you want to comment, vote which should go and which should stay!

here are two hooded tops (identical except for colour) that i DEFINATELY want to get rid of - they look like the sort of thing i'd wear if i went out beating people up! they're cheap and it shows. they look like the sort of thing you get thrown out of places for wearing. they look like the sort of thing that white kids wear when they want to act "black". they look like the sort of thing you get for 99 pence at a town market (mum got them from QS for £4 i think). they're the first to go!


this is a short-sleeved hooded top that she got from a sports shop or something. she got me 2 more that are very similar too - one is the same but the fabric is different and its from another (non-sports) shop, and the other one is with a big pocket at the front and no zip (like a regular hoodie). i haven't quite decided whether i will ebay any of them... what do you think?






this is something i got myself once, cos at the time i needed something warm to wear. again QS are to blame for that one. ok so it's cheap, but it's rubbish! it looks like something a farmer would wear. (i'm not a farmer.)









something else i bought years ago, this time at a sale at school: another hoodie (a proper one this time) and a fake leather jacket. both are a bit too small for me now, although they're not too bad. i might ebay these if i have anything better that still fits me.

back again!

haven't posted anything on my blogs in a while as i've been very busy - got back home from uni on saturday (partying before that, and catching up with my family since getting back).
my mobile phone is a very clever little gadget that can do a million things including take photos and has a removable memory card, and my clever little laptop rather conventiently has a drive that accepts the memory card, so i can take photos on my mobile and put them on my laptop. so i would now be posting photos that i took... except that i didn't remember to transfer them from my laptop to the computer i'm using now (and i've lent my laptop to my brother), so maybe my technology is cleverer than i am. so i'll post them next time.

for now, i will post some pix from the internet. so here we go again...

this is a type of tea called redbush which is from africa and is really nice. i've had the redbush tea (in the red box) - it tastes a bit like normal tea but with a nutty flavour and without any caffeine, and it's delicious! - but i havent tried the others. worth trying, especially if you want a nice cuppa but can't drink caffeine for some reason, or if you just want to try something a little different but not too different to your usual brew.


here is a link to a morrissey comic (him again... oh you know me, i couldn't resist!) - click the "next page" links at the bottom of the page to read the entire comic.

someone i know sent me a link to some more smiths-related comics - i'm hoping to "borrow" one of the pics (inspired by the line "i was happy in the haze of a drunken hour" from the song "heaven knows i'm miserable now") as it seems rather appropriate for me ;-) although, if the owner of the comic sees and doesn't want me stealing his/her drawings, just say so and i'll change it back to the pink pentagram. (of course i still like the pink pentagram, but i felt like a change... i do believe it has been my display pic ever since i started blogging, so it's probably time i had something different, even if only for a bit).


here is a pic i found spoofing the lord of the rings with... "the lord of the blings"!
