Relationships are tricky.<br />
<br />
It's something I've never really understood, how people can fall in and out of love every day of the week and still want more of it all.<br />
<br />
As far as I can see, all that happens with relationships is that people get hurt from misunderstandings, miscommunications and an unwillingness to simply let the other party be. Every time I have started seeing someone, from Doctor Mark Lees to other less notable men, the moment that you have been seeing them for more than a few weeks, they start trying to change things about you.<br />
<br />
From the smallest things like trying to make you eat something different for breakfast to much bigger things, like changing your hair, dress sense and even the time you spend with your friends.<br />
<br />
Okay in fairness to the last point, the people that I would consider my friends are not the kind of people that most respectable men would want to associate with and then of course there is Fred, it being painfully obvious how Fred feels about me does have a habit of making any lover feel somewhat threatened and insecure.<br />
<br />
But that doesn't mean that I shouldn't spend any time with him.<br />
<br />
There are many, much better reasons that I shouldn't spend time with Fred and yet I still do, so why on earth would a man that is unlikely to stick around for more than 3 months have any say in who I do and do not see?<br />
<br />
Harry is constantly telling me that relationships are all about compromise, which is why he doesn't stay in them more than one night, but what these men keep asking for isn't compromise - it's a complete change to what they want.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly when these relationships end, the reason that is always given is Fred. Fred, who always has a girlfriend whenever I am dating someone, Fred the lurking threat.<br />
<br />
It doesn't seem to occur to any of these men that if I wanted to be with Fred, then I would be. It's not like we haven't had plenty of opportunities to be together and it's not like Fred hasn't pushed and tried at every one of those opportunities to get us together.<br />
<br />
The thing is with Fred, whenever I look at Fred I see everything I have lost, I see that one horrific night when I first met Kevin Metis and I see a future trapped. Trapped in a house in the suburbs, trapped in triviality because Fred needs me to be safe. Safe. Safe from these streets I have walked and survived on all my life, safe from the underworld as much as I can be.<br />
<br />
But the problem with that is, it doesn't matter where I am, I won't be safe. Being safe is just an illusion. Bad things happen to people every day in this broken world. I wouldn't be shot at every day and twice on Sunday, I will give him that, but that doesn't mean that I would be safer - especially with the way people in suburbia drive.<br />
<br />
Fred is the very best man I know, probably ever will know. He's attractive, some would even go as far as to say handsome, and no matter what, he is always there - always. And I suppose if I really understood what it was that made people fall in love, what it was to actually be in love and want to be in love; in a perfect world then I guess I would choose Fred.<br />
<br />
But the world isn't perfect and I know there are far too many women out there who could make him far happier than I ever could. Of course me knowing that is one thing, trying to convince Fred of that is quite another.</div>

Dancing is something I like, I don't do it very often, but I like it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like it because dancing gives you a chance to let go of all your emotions and focus on nothing except the music and moving to it. That and if you really don't like your partner you can stand on their toes in high heels repeatedly and pretend it was an accident.<br />
<br />
I much prefer ballroom dancing to anything else though, street dance, ballet, tap, jazz and modern are all very well and good but they just don't have the same feel to them. Then there is salsa. Salsa just isn't for me, the attitude and people that you end up dancing with at salsa lessons are not the kind of people that I go dancing to mix with - yes you've guessed it, Harry does salsa.<br />
<br />
Ah, you thought it was going to be Fred, but no, Harry loves to salsa. It's a great way to meet women apparently...I've never thought that Harry needed help meeting women, but then again, I guess that if you go to the same bars, pubs and clubs all the time there are only a small amount of women to go through before you run out - at least if you go through women the way that Harry does.<br />
<br />
The only time I've done salsa it only took around thirty seconds before I slapped Harry and threatened to shoot him...I may have gotten thrown out for that.<br />
<br />
Going back to ballroom dancing was the only sensible thing to do after that it rekindle my love of the sport after salsa left a bad taste in mouth and a red mark on Harry's cheek. It was then that I discovered that Fred had decided to start coming to my ballroom dancing class. Turns out he is much more of a gentleman when it comes to dancing than Harry is and that he's actually good at it.<br />
<br />
By the end of the evening, I left Fred alone for less than a minute and found that he was surrounded by women clamouring to give him their phone number. I only hope Harry doesn't find out about this - I don't want him coming here once he's gone through all the women at his salsa class.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Finding the crime scene wasn't very hard. There are very few alleys in
the city that are surrounded by police cars, police tape and people lined up to
see what gruesome crime had been committed on their doorsteps - you just have
to be willing to drive around long enough to find it. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Unfortunately I ended up at four different crime scenes before I found
the right one, the problems of living in a city with a high crime rate and only
two or three competent police men – those being Fred, Harry and a handful of
men who still worked in uniform. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">So by the time I found the right crime scene, Ellis and Turndune were
waiting for me. This wasn’t wholly unexpected after I ended up at the second
and third wrong crime scenes, cops talk to each other, and seeing me touring
crime scenes when Ryan Barlow was the number 1 suspect in a murder case – doesn’t
take a rocket scientist to figure out what I was looking for, or for that
matter, what I was doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">When I stepped out of the car, the first thing that happened was that my
door was slammed shut by Turndune and Ellis pushed me up against the car. If it
had been anyone else, or almost anyone else; then I would have broken their jaw
without a second thought for pushing me up against my car. However with Ellis
and Turndune they were both just looking for an excuse to arrest me, and
assaulting a police officer was the perfect reason to lock me up so that I was
out of the way whilst they steamrolled over Ryan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">So after being threatened, taunted, subjected to Ellis’ terrible halitosis
and several references being made about what both of them wanted to do to my
deceased mother – they forced me back into my car and had me escorted home by a
very loud, and I must say unnecessary, group of police cars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Of course what neither of them had realised is that the whole time they
were taunting me, I wasn’t paying any attention to them, but was instead
looking at the crime scene. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">What I saw was something that looked remarkably staged and all too
familiar, something that jogged some rather unpleasant memories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In my short number of years on the earth, I have seen some of the worst
that humanity has to offer. I won’t say I have seen the worst, as I am pretty
sure there is someone out there who is disturbed enough to plunge to new depths
of horror without even trying; but never-the-less, there are times when what I
have seen before comes back to haunt me in very real ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">What I began to realise when I actual saw the scene was that firstly
Fred and Harry hadn’t seen it and secondly, this crime wasn’t just about Fred
and Ryan. It was about me and Harry too. More importantly, it was mostly about
Harry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Harry has always been a ladies’ man, the string of women that he was
wined and dined over the years is probably worthy of a Guiness World Record,
but not every woman that crossed Harry’s path ended up sleeping with him.
Something I am very proud never having stooped to myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">One of these women that was oblivious to his charms was a girl in her
early twenties that had tried to rob Harry’s apartment and had been caught in the
act by the owner returning home early as someone may have thrown tomato sauce
all over him when he complained about how long it was taking them to make
dinner. I still maintain that I slipped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The girl had been called Amy Barstow and after arresting her,
interviewing her and letting her go, Harry had decided to help the unfortunate
girl get back on her feet – or to find her feet in the first place. She had run
away from home at a tender age and found herself at the mercy of some of the
city’s more notorious villains, setting her up for a life of crime that was a vicious
circle that would end in incarceration or death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Having seen this happen many times before, Harry was a man on a mission
to save this girl in a way that I have only seen Fred practise before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Two weeks after Harry had helped her get out of the criminal life she
had been found raped and murdered in an alley. The crime scene and positioning of
the body had been identical to that of Sonja Lesner. Amy had been murdered as a
message to Harry and he hadn’t tried to save anyone else since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I still couldn’t place where I knew the name Lesner from but I was sure
it would come back to me. What was keeping my mind occupied at the moment was
who this message was for and how Harry would react when he found out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I thought it would be best if I told him before Ellis or Turndune
brought it up and caused Harry to start a riot in the station. Though it had occurred
to me that was exactly what the perp had in mind when he set up the scene. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">There is something that I have
felt is missing from the different places that people have to go out to in this
city, and not only in this city, in every city I have ever visited and/or lived
in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">There are plenty of cafes,
dinners, restaurants, bars, live music pubs and nightclubs but no matter how
long I have searched for I have not been able to find what I have been looking
for. An old style dance hall. I don't mean somewhere that you can go to dance
with lots of sweaty drunk people as there are already plenty of places where
you can do that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">What I mean are the halls from
the 1930s, 40s and 50s that had live, large bands with brass and strings with
large dance floors in the centre of the room surrounded by tables so that
dinner came with an evening of entertainment and real dancing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">It's one thing that you see in
old movies that makes me wonder whether putting up with one person for the rest
of my life might be worth it, if only to go to places like that with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Of course the obvious answer as
to why they don't exist anymore is that pop music arrived in the 60s and the
way that people enjoyed music and evenings out changed dramatically, but surely
I cannot be the only person in the world that thinks these places were
wonderful and should not have been allowed to die out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Especially when karaoke bars
continue to thrive, though I will admit that whenever I have to go into any of
them to find people; interrogate and threaten them, I will always make sure
that a fight breaks out to do as much damage as possible to try and reduce
noise pollution in the city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New';">Besides if Fred asked me out to
dinner at a dance hall, I'd probably go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is what happens when Fred goes out of town and leaves Harry to fend for himself...and somehow I will still get blamed! What I really want to know though is why those teenagers weren't at home and asleep at 6am!</div>

There are days in a private investigators life that really don't seem to get you anywhere. I'm sure it is the same in any profession but when you don't have savings, regular and stable employment or a ridiculously large inheritance to live off it can be a little more than frustrating when you are faced with a day of dealing with time wasters.<br />
<br />
Having people constantly phone you and ask if you are offering Black Friday discounts is one thing, but to have people phoning and asking you to work for them and then not paying their bills and refusing any form of contact even to the extent of pretending you don't exist when you are stood a few inches in front of them.<br />
<br />
Of course as annoying as that is, it is again but a passing frustration compared to having people coming through your door, asking for quotes for services, shaking their head and sucking air through their teeth whatever number you say and then try and negotiate a deal with you that invariably they then turn around and say "on second thoughts, I don't think I'll bother."<br />
<br />
It really is something that more dead bodies aren't found in my office.<br />
<br />
When you work for yourself it is always difficult making ends meet (what with people failing to pay their bills on time if they do at all) but when you have people coming through your door and wasting time, it really gets on your last nerve.<br />
<br />
Fred tells me that I should be more patient as having a reputation for bad customer service is not a way to run a business. If I was a shop owner than I might agree but in a private investigator people don't want a happy, go lucky, sunny disposition. They want someone who looks like they can survive in the underworld and get them what they need - or at least everyone who seems to bother me wants that.<br />
<br />
Harry on the other hand thinks that I should try and branch out into other areas, diversifying my business. I am not entirely convinced that offering to blackmail people to go to birthday parties or family events would be any more lucrative than the time wasters that I have to deal with no. I am also not sure that offering people tours of the crime hotspots of the city will be as popular as say studio backlot tours or maps to the stars homes.<br />

Though I might not get shot at much and reducing my medical bills would be a very big plus...then again I wouldn't get to shoot as many people and where would the fun in that be?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There are many days of the year I
dislike – Valentine’s Day, any day dedicated to something trivial like talking
like a pirate, dress like a carrot, learn to speak Romulan, open your curtains
whilst upside down, PI day (yes I know I have ranted about it before but it
annoys me, okay!) - but there is one day
of the year which makes me want rip the phone out of the wall, shoot all television
screens, delete the internet and barricade all shops’ doors closed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I have no problem with people going
out in hordes to get huge discounts on luxury items – what people choose to
spend their time and money doing is their business. I don’t do shopping at the
best of times except for visiting the corner store for food and the off license
for my whiskey, tequila and other spirits so Black Friday doesn’t really affect
my shopping habits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The number of phone calls I have
had this year alone have been enough for me to unplug my phone from the wall.
Then when people started arriving at my office and demanding Black Friday
discounts I had to chase them out of my office and even had to throw my phone
out of the window after them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When Harry turned up had I had to
threaten to shoot him five times and shoot the catalogue out of his hand to
make him leave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Fred then turned up with only five
gifts instead of the usual fifty. This year he had bought me a kettle to
replace the one that Ryan borrowed and sold for drug money, a microwave to
replace the one that exploded, a new phone to replace the one that was now
lying down on the street in several hundred thousand pieces, an engraved
cigarette case and a sofa bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So this year there was only one
useless gift that Fred brought with him. When I asked him why the sofa bed, he
said he was sick of sleeping on the broken lump of wood and padding that I
called a sofa. I told him that he had his own bed in his own home that he could
go home to quite easily but for some reason the sofa bed still made its way
into my home and my old sofa ended up sharing the street with my phone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sometimes I think that Fred is far more
manipulative than anyone gives him credit for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can't just be me that finds cancellations one of the most annoying things in the world - yes there is something I find more annoying than Fred Barlow and cancellations are it.<br />
<br />
The most irritating form it comes in is cheques. This is especially troublesome in my line of work as I deal solely in cash and cheques and there is nothing worse than when someone writes a bad cheque or writes one that will actually clear but then cancels it before I can put it in the bank.<br />
<br />
This week alone I have had three, yes three, cheques cancelled on me so quite clearly something needed to be done and being a private investigator it really wasn't hard for me to find out where these deadbeat clients were hiding from me and took even less time for me to beat my money out of them. In my line of work you either get paid or you starve, or get whacked, or get walked all over by scumbags.<br />
<br />
It did get me thinking though about other things being cancelled and why it is that you have no control over them. Bus and trains being cancelled are one of the more frustrating things for the general population since they often lead to people having to stand around in the cold and the wet waiting for something that is never going to come and on rare occasions does leave individuals stranded.<br />
<br />
I tend to avoid public transport so that doesn't bother me too much though every time I seem to have to take a plane it gets cancelled.<br />
<br />
The other form of cancellation that really annoys me is when TV series are cancelled - especially halfway through a series. The one that most people gripe about is Firefly, and yes it was amazing but there are other series like the Visitors, Sports Night, the Magnificent Seven and Caprica that were all cut short in their prime. It's one thing that Fred and Harry never seem to shut up about.<br />
<br />
It worries me that most of their conversation seems to be orientated around topics like television and Star Wars and other things that they seem to talk about just to annoy me, but then again it is still better than listening to Rick and Harry discussing which of their female conquests that they have in common.<br />
<br />

It may surprise many people to learn that I do my own laundry. Yes, I do know what laundry is and how to operate a washing machine and even a tumble dryer. Even more shocking is the fact that I know where to put the washing powder/liquid and fabric softener so you don't end up with clothes that still have soap in them when you are ready to dry them.<br />
<br />
I can even separate my dark clothes from my lights and whites - well I could if I had any white and lights and the same goes for delicate items - hosiery and lingerie have never really been something I'd had much use for, especially when ammo is a much better investment.<br />
<br />
Granted blood doesn't really ever wash out and grease can be a pain, but on the whole I manage to keep my clothes clean enough that there isn't a repellent scent of body odor that comes wafting to the nostrils every time I open my wardrobe or my drawers.<br />
<br />
Though I do have experience with laundry, I have never really understood why people make such fuss over machines "eating" socks. I mean it had never happened to me and on days when there really didn't seem to be anything else to discuss, Fred and Harry would bleat on about how one of their socks had got lost in the wash, or the machine had mangled one, or someone had put something red in with their whites - oh wait that's something different - but still not only did the sheer dullness of this topic numb my brain, the idea that rational people could blame a machine for losing their sock seemed utterly ridiculous to me.<br />
<br />
Of course I voiced these views in a very adult and respectful manner...oh alright, I called them both idiots and told them they deserved shooting for exposing me to firstly boring conversation and secondly for believing that machines for cleaning had developed a consciousness that revolved around depriving them of their socks.<br />
<br />
Needless to say it brought an end to the evening.<br />
<br />
However the next time I came to do my laundry, I collected it from the washing machine, put it through the dryer, but when it came to pairing my socks I found that two were missing - one white and one black, and I am not talking about the kind of socks that you buy from any normal shop (they only sell really, really, really, really dark blue ones). Oh no this one sock that was part of a pair of priest's socks that Pastor Patrick had given me.<br />
<br />
So I searched through the dryer and the washing machine and couldn't find it anywhere. I retraced my steps to see if I had dropped them anywhere, checked my laundry bag and went over my apartment and office with a fine tooth comb when it struck me that it seemed very convenient that I should lose two socks just days after I had ridiculed Mr. Wonderful and Mr. Sleep-with-everything-that-moves over their enjoyment of trivialities.<br />
<br />
Both denied all knowledge of stealing my socks, so when a pair of red knickers got mixed in with both Fred and Harry's white shirts, it was complete mystery as to whom they belonged to.<br />
<br />
You might call it petty, but pettiness works for me.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">The style of this series is rooted in the classic style of film noir but slightly modernized with influences from classic films such as Casablanca. The project will be filmed in colour and have colours muted during the editing process.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">The costumes and setting are to be shabby in design, slightly worn on the other side of worse for wear. Though there is a modern twist to the classic film noir there will be a dingy and dirty feel to the piece that are indicative of the underbelly of the city that Siren inhabits.</span><br />

The reason it costs so much is that it is a metal replica that is not a BB gun. It fires blanks safely so can be used to film with minimal injury. We are currently looking at cheaper alternatives to this but so far the alternatives do not look real or are too dangerous to fire in the confines of the shooting space.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Nicolette Mace is a private investigator who is more vigilante than detective and is fixated with the ideal of vengeance being delivered under the guise of justice. She has a checkered past that has influenced her development into a slightly psychotic individual - the murder of her father, the murder and rape of her sister, her mother dying in suspicious circumstances and her own rape. She is seemingly without guilt or a conscience and has lost the fear that she had during a childhood of surviving being the daughter of a Private Investigator.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Simon McGregor is a club owner with a failing business that he is having to keep from bankruptcy through importing and distributing crack cocaine. Siren once helped Simon to find his sister, Fiona, however his upstanding credentials that he once held no longer act as a smokescreen protecting his business from Siren or those that have hired her.</span><br />

<strong>The Crew</strong>The crew is a small but professional unit that operates under the name The Fastidious Monks.<br />
<br />
Director - Jared Drake<br />
<br />
Assistant Director - Michael L. Worrall<br />
<br />
Screenwriter - C.S. Woolley<br />
<br />
Composers - Michael L. Worrall & Emily Worrall<br />
<br />
Costume Consultant & Head of Wardrobe - Sam Moden<strong><br /></strong><br />
Props - Sam Moden<br />
<br />
Vocalist - Charlotte Hall<br />
<br />
Best Boy - Charlotte Vivian<br />
<br />
Producers - C.S. Woolley & Michael L. Worrall<br />
<br />
Editor - Michael L. Worrall<br />
<br />
Further additions to the crew are to be announced when availability is known. A health & safety officer will be appointed slightly closer to the filming date.<strong><br /><br />The Locations</strong><br />
<br />
These are to be confirmed based on availability & cost.<br />
<br />
<strong>Why is this important?</strong>The Raven Siren book series is growing in popularity and the style of writing lends itself to being turned into short episodes very easily.<br />
<br />
We set about putting together the Raven Series shorts and web series in order to see the books brought to life as well as complementing the stories, filling out the gaps between the stories and bring a dedicated and professional finish to the shorts and series that we are going to put together.<strong><br /></strong><strong>What we will do with the project</strong>The videos that we produce of the shorts will be available through the Nicolette Mace: the Raven Siren website that is currently in the design stages as well as on YouTube.<br />
<br />
We will also be releasing the shorts and the web series in DVD format for purchase when we have enough filmed in order to make the DVDs good value for money.<br />
<br />
The music from the series will also be available for sale through digital music sites.<strong><br /><br />Problems we may face</strong><br />
The potential risks of our project include delays in filming due to personnel being unavailable, equipment failing or breaking and the filming location being unavailable.<br />
<br />
We have booked the locations for the filming in advance to try and ensure we have them available to us as well as keeping our equipment in the best possible condition. If any equipment were to fail or break we would be able to replace it within 24 hours.<br />
<br />
Personnel have all been informed of the shooting date and call sheets will be distributed to make sure that everyone is on set when they need to be.</div>

The blog has been very quiet in the last month or so due to lots of very exciting projects that are going on behind the scenes, though in two weeks time I am hoping to be able to resume posting properly. There are 12 blog posts to come that I will get to as soon as I can.<br />
<br />
One of these exciting projects will be announced very shortly and hopefully it will delight blog fans as much as it has delighted everyone that is working to get it launched.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, if you didn't already know, the blog posts from Nicolette Mace: the Raven Siren have been made into mall book collections in both paperback and digital print. The ebooks are mostly free to download.<br />
<br />
Filling the Afterlife from the Underworld Volumes 1 and 2 are available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, Diesel, Kobo, Smashwords and many other retailers.<br />
<br />
For those who are looking for Nicolette Mace: the Raven Siren Merchandise there is a cafepress store <a href="http://www.cafepress.co.uk/mightierthanthesworduk">http://www.cafepress.co.uk/mightierthanthesworduk</a>.</div>
