"F*** Off, I'm Ginger"

Last night was spent tidying my room (Naidel is home very soon and our room looks like a bomb made of clothes, books and bits of paper hit it), watching the new series of 'Rome' on BBC 2 ('Tis a continuation of what happens after Julius gets stabbed by Brutus in the Senate. It literally picks up where the last series left off) and watching an interesting programme aptly named 'F*** Off, I'm Ginger'. It followed a ginger comedian on his quest to discover why ginger people get bullied and why ginger people dont get laid as much. Was very very interesting. Apparently, men find ginger women a turn on because their pale skin makes them seem fragile, which makes them want to protect her, and the ginger hair is seen as firey, which makes them seem more exciting (i'm not sure if this is true, being a woman myself. Will have to ask Naidel when i next speak to him. He is the font of all knowledge after all). For men, its much more tragic. It has been scientifically proven that when women are looking for a mate, they size up the guy's immune system. So tall, dark guys who tend to have a slight tanned tinge to their skin come across healthier, and therefore more attractive. Ginger people tend to have pasty white skin and so look less healthy, which is a turn off to women, and the fact that ginger hair is a mutated (but dominant) gene turns them off as they fear they may produce ginger children (i have to admit, Naidel has a very good immune system, so there must be something to this theory). I think i absorbed more science and biology while watching that programme than i did in the whole of high school! At the end of the programme they presented the new advertising campaign that is going to be launched promoting how great ginger poeple are. The tag line is "You can't beat a ginger", and the billboard adverts feature a series of ginger winners (such as Winston Churchill, Nicole Kidman and Boris Becker) and non-ginger losers (such as Hitler, Cameron Diaz and Tim Henman). Clever stuff!
I also managed to get my hands on a pair of the new design Rocket Dog shoes which only came into the stores yesterday AND i was the first person in Norwich to own a pair! Go me! (see pic below)
Aren't they sooooooo divine? And they're so comfortable and cushiony inside! A practical steal at £20 a pair! Sadly my other shoes, my old faithfuls, gave up the ghost and completely disintergrated :( But now i have new pretty ones yay! Anyways, enough about shoes, back to plotting the take-over of the universe......
P.S - NAIDEL IS HOME SOON! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! :) As you can guess i'm very very excited :)
