Heck...this is depressing...and that's coming from a goth....
Who chose such a nasty subject matter? Especially when Spring is springing, and we should all be getting happier and randier with the longer days and warmer weather!!??!!

Anyway...to keep On Topic - I've seen lots of dead bodies - I saw my mum when she was nearly a dead body and that was probably the most nasty fooking thing I've ever seen - she was dying after years of alcohol abuse - 2 to 3 litres of vodka a day in her (very) latter years; having to haul her out of the loo after she'd haemorhaged (bloddy hell, how do you spell that word) all up the walls sticks out in my mind nearly the most.

So, seeing as it is days away from the 10 year anniversary of her death I am going to give a light hearted (ish - I am a pseudo goth after all) tale in honour of life, as I cannot see the point in depressing each other with countless tales of 'seeing a dead body' which, basically is just a lump of meat...

If you've read any of my other posts you'll know I have prob been one of the world's most unwise peeps in terms of relationships etc.

The one before I met the angelic slimtallgoth was with a Rite Nutter - I escaped Derby one weekend after a particularly nasty bout of ass kicking (mine) on his part.

I had both my lovely boys with me, and one of Kie's (the eldest) mates too, so we loaded up my old polo with the tent, sleeping bags, some Snot Poodles, etc - I was actually being a Prepared Mum in that I'd made sarnies and all of that kind of business...we stopped in the Welsh Mountains and Larked About for ages while we ate them, stretched our legs, marvelled at the lovely day, the fucking Brilliantness at being Alive and Free...

We headed West, we wended our way up lanes and minor roads. My fabbo kids and Aaron (the friend) sang like little angels to System of a Down (the BEST band in the world as of course you should all know) - god it was so hard not to giggle/cry at their beautiful voices ringing out to 'Old School Hollywood' (Kie's fave song)

We arrived on Mochras (Shell Island) North Wales and the boys gleefully ran amok amongst the mega huge sand dunes while I got the tent up. I got some burgers and things for a barbie, but they were so busy sliding down a massive sand dune (50 ft plus) they didn't want to eat. I vaguely prodded the burgers, I gazed out over bay all across the Lleyn peninsula, watched the sun go down, knew the tide had covered the road leading to our little magic place - the freakish twat could not follow us there, not that he even knew where we were.

I had never felt more alive, or more at peace.

They played football til 11pm and I sat in my car next to the tent having a rollie and listening to radio 4 while they settled down to sleep...listening to the waves restlessly roll against the sandy shore, feeling the warm breeze against my face through the open window....thanking whoever that I was still alive

I would like to hijack this QOTW and ask, at what actual moment in your life, did you feel Most Alive?

I think
it might have been the moment a few minutes ago, when I realised someon elses favourite band was system :)

I played them in my local a few hours ago and was almost hounded out of the place!

Ptchah!

Yer it is a depressing subject, but getting depressing stories out in text form helps a lot, I have discovered. Poor old readers :P
