Dont drink don't smoke, what do you do?
But seriously, Iv'e had it. Reflecting on last year this morning - well - this afternoon actually I realise that I am a seriously bad girl. I leave the pit most days after twelve and live a terribly disorganised and selfishly indulgent life. I eat whatever I like, go wherever I like with whoever I like and I don't answer to anybody or anything, ever. Well. I feed the cat twice a day so that's something.
I keep trying to tell myself that I'm a single, sensitive and very creative rock and roll chick and therefore that to imply rules on myself would be damaging. But pointing to other creative folk and going "well they did it" - normally in the form of say Mr Hendrix et la Jimbo Morrisson (either overdosed or choked on their own vomit or something similarly unglamorous) is just not washing anymore.
I need to get healthy.
Taylor, I can hear echoes of your evil laugh from here!
Nah, seriously, it aint that easy to be a rock and roll star these days. You don't just tumble in to it because you are fabulous - do a few gigs and retreat to the heavens in a blaze of Glory. You have to swear. Alot. (Insert the word "WORK" in that sentence to make sense of it.)
And no f***ers help you. You have to do it all by yourself. Arranging gigs, writing lyrics, string arrangements, doing photos, making clothes, the lot of it. It's tiring and it takes organisation. Even paperwork. Paperwork is considered one or two jobs down from holding a mop in this house and that certainly aint likely. Hence the big pile of it that is becoming my front room. Occasionally I bin it all up and stick it in the recycling to get rid of it but there are some red ones in there at the mo, so I best not..
BAck to last year, in the latter part it the fort grew strong and most of the fighting went on outside, so it's been a positive and productive one in many ways. After deciding that I do Music and it's what I Love doing and that I can do it how I like without answering to anybody and as long as it's fabulous then who cares what anybody else says - I am really looking forward to everything that I do this year. And I'd like to fit alot in it which means getting fit and healthy.
Right, I think I've talked myself up to my first instalment. I'm off to squeeze myself some oranges and go and get some excersise. Taylor - you are next sugar buns! Remember our gym effort all those years ago?? hahahahhaa. Well - I think you'd be fabulous in the ring so I want you to come boxing with me. Which needs a few of them girly classes first I reckon.
Back soon. Back soon. Healthy, bouncing and back. Good girl....you can do it.
