I am slowly losing the will to live.
I think it's probably symptomatic of the fact that I'm getting older. It would appear that the closer I get to the grave, the more eager I am to want to dive straight into it whilst executing a series of back flips, a few somersaults and a couple of hand springs.
I guess lack of sleep and constant 24 hours of watching porn fatigue could be the reason why the local cemetery is beginning to look like a holiday resort, because right now I seem to be perpetually tip toeing on the very edge of hysteria.
Take this morning for example, having not slept for the best part of 2 days, I decided to wake the little man with a soothing nursery rhyme.
I chose 'Head Shoulders Knees and Toes' as a gentle exercise to get him moving on such a brisk and chilly Monday morning...except that sleep deprivation had, not so much as 'kicked in' but rather decided to headbutt me square on in the face. So instead of him waking up to the dulcet tones of this:
The Lil man awoke to find a crazy arsed woman doing this...

...after which I had to promptly go and lie down, such is the advancement of old age advancing, as it advances...you know I've really got to stop with the analogies.
And that's another thing that reminds me that I'm ever nearer to a coffin being my next form of abode, the tell-tale signs of aging. It's not that I mind getting older per se, (you lie like a rug!!) it's just the other stuff that comes with it. I remember the days when my waist was trim and my boobs were firm, pointing heavenwards as if to defy the power of gravity. Now I have to be careful about getting out of bed in the morning less I trip over my drooping mammary glands and when running for the bus, I have to fling one over each shoulder to avoid being concussed and having to deal with two black eyes. The Lil man is as always, gracious in his compliments as he watches me getting dressed.
Lil man: I can see your manatees.
Lil man: I can see your manatees.
Me: I think that you mean mammary Lil man, not manatee.
Lil man: No, I know exactly what I mean.

But I think that one of the worse things about getting older, is not only the loss of memory but that fact that I keep repeating myself because of it...but I think the worse thing about getting older, is not only the loss of memory but the fact that I keep repeating myself because of it... and grey hairs.
Now I have to admit that I find grey hair rather attractive and quite distinctive, especially on grey haired people with er...grey hair. However I do not find them quite so attractive when they begin to appear on my 'Lady Garden'. (sounds of the 'would you like to unfollow this blog' button being clicked, whilst computers everywhere are slammed shut in disgust) I mean right now there is only the one. Wiry and rigid, it stands out from the rest as if to proclaim it's uniqueness whilst all the while, mocking me with it's dull muted tone. I can quite clearly hear it screaming out to me about it's plans to conquer my lower region, like Sir William Wallace fighting the wars of Scottish Independence.
Pubic The Grey: Aye tis true that I am alone. But soon I will be joined by more. Together we will gather as one, blunting the razor blade on your 'Veet Touchably Smooth All Over Body Lady-Shaver'. We will fight for the right to stick out through the legs of your undies, for what will we do without freedom? Finally we will make our way up to your navel, eventually curling our way up through the undergrowth, for you may shave us BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!

| QUICK, SOMEBODY PASS ME THE HEDGE TRIMMER? |
This of course is never going to happen. There will be no war of Independence going on in my underwear...unless the wager of that war takes me out and buys me dinner first. However, I am thinking about getting a Brazilian. Not the extremely painful hair removal technique, whereby all the hair is shaved just leaving a little landing strip, I'm talking about a little Brazilian guy named Edvaldo.
Now whenever I strip, I'll just place Edvaldo in front of my 'Lady Garden' and voila! No more unsightly greys...apart from the ones on Edvaldo that is.
Too much?? You could be right but all work and no sleep makes Lily a slightly erratic and a very unhinged girl indeed.
But if by chance I have offended anyone with this post, for I have already lost one follower and just as any sense of decency has flown out the window, I expect others to follow also, please kindly send your complaints to :

I tried to slam my computer in disgust but it is not a laptop so that didn't work. I tried to unsubscribe, but we both know I'll be back tomorrow to re-subscribe, so really what's the point in that. Let's cut to the chase: disgusted! repulsed! insulted! when can I come back and read more?

MOV

Lady Lily Gray-Garden... Sorta sounds like something posh. To the Manor shorn... oh, i mean born...
By the way, that songs fucking irritating (head, shoulders, knees...) to beyond the limit of irritating (head, shoulders, knees...)- ya' gone done my head (head, shoulders, knees...) in with it Lily and it's now on continuos internal (head, shoulders, knees...) loop...
Nicely done! Can no longer (head, shoulders, knees...) hear myself think, so that's (head, shoulders, knees...) appreciated...
Hahahahahaha! Awww, you poor thing, you do sound exhausted! But when you can write such a jaw-dropping, funny post as this on zero sleep, that is to be admired! I love the way you push the social boundaries with your writing ~ I think that's what makes you so popular :o) And I so love your wide use of language! (I am a sucker for words! ;o) ) You, my dear Lily, are a true writer! I say it every time...When's your book being published???? ;o)
I suggest you don't sleep at all.
They can call it sick, disgusting, downright TMI and repulsive, but this is the kind of stuff I love to read and enjoy!
BTW, speaking of Brasilians, besides Paolo Coehlo, check out Pit Bull. He'll do better than Edvaldo. Trust me on that one. He's on YouTube too. Check out this link: http://youtu.be/E2tMV96xULk hahaha

ps- that link above for big bad wolk didnt work try and view it here. http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2011/10/25/big-bad-wolf/
thankyou for another excellent post as always.
As the Slightly Eccentric CHILD of cyberspace I think I must point out I am an impressionable CHILD so I am finding it difficult to decide which is worse .............. The first song or the second song, sorry I never made it to the end of the second song. I notice that it was a 2:00 am post, that is not good Miss Lily so I hope you get to chill and get some sleep but it worries me that you might be listening to these Youtube clips at 2:00 am.
We all love your blog Miss Lily so I think you will need to work much harder to loose us, after all I only have 8 or 9 followers and one is me and two are close friends and I am very nice and never ever discuss grey hares only Dodo's and Lemmings and The Dark Creature of the Undergrowth (no not what your thinking Miss Lily, I am a CHILD)....... Anyway the point is when struggling with sleep you need to remember there are folk in the wondrous world of cyberspace that think your a COOL LADY (a Cool and slightly Grey Lady) so get some sleep
I think I dated the person in the "hedge trimmer" picture once in college. I still have something cought in my throat - Ptttft...
*caught*
OH why did you acknowledge it?! Now it's knows you've discovered it hiding in your lady garden...that means reinforcements....lots of them. Soon your lady garden with be over run with gray hairs that cannot be cut, trimmed, pulled or even burned away. Quick! Quick! Sign some sort of peace treaty....We cant have you being sleep deprived and near hysteria due your amry of grays!
MOV: if only you knew how much stuff I refrained from writing, partly out of respect for the stomachs of those that follow. I always find the lining of the stomach is better when it is in fact, lining the stomach as opposed to being splurged across the living room carpet.
Thanks for not abandoning me.
Ofken: The thought of 'Head shoulders knees and toes' tormenting you out of your mind, wrongly fills me with much mirth...sorry...
Chantell: But imagine the masterpieces I could write if I DID get some sleep! Thanks for the compliments, though I'm not sure if any publishers would be brave, or foolish enough to offer me a book deal...still, I live in hope...and poverty.
Thanks PB! But what's wrong with Edvaldo? Who better to be the protector of 'My lady garden' than Edvaldo?? Look at his cute Lil face. Look at it. Look! I love him so!!
Bumferry Hogart: Knowing that that song is eating into people's brain, is like the gift that just keeps on giving. And may I inquire as to why the thought of grey pubes is ever present in your thoughts?...Actually, it's probably safer not to go there.
Rob Z: As a CHILD of cyberspace, I'm telling your mum that you're reading this blog. She will not be happy. IDIOT...is what she'll say.
Krouth: Thanks for the mental images. Now for some reason, I can't finish my dinner.
Jenni:LOL! We've called a truce for the time-being. But if one more starts appearing, then it's GAME ON!
Oh you aint getting rid of me that easily.
And...errr... I knew.
That's one of the reasons I love wax.
I'm glad you're not going anywhere DCG! If you did, then I'd have no choice but to stalk you and beg for your return...despite the court injunctions.
I'm too much of a coward when it comes to waxing, I'll just stick to Edvaldo, or should that be the other way round?
Wow! I thought I loved you before but now I am certain. Call me sick, and they may, but I laugh so damn hard reading your archives that I should be getting hazard pay.
Aww thank you Kait for going through the archives. I'm pretty certain that you are the ONLY person to have done so.
How would you like your hazard pay payment? In yellow skittles or red ones?
I don't like skittles. I like apple Jolly Ranchers. But only the ones made in the USA. I used to have a source, but we lost touch and now I can't enjoy sucking on my apple ranchers anymore. OOps. That sounds bad. LOL.
WHAT KIND OF FIEND ARE YOU? YOU DON'T LIKE SKITTLES??
I don't think they even make Jolly Ranchers here anymore.
As for sucking on an apple ranchers, what you get up to in the privacy of your own home, is nobodies business but yours.
