A bit of a while...

2008-05-04T09:14:00.000-07:00

Hey, its been a while, this is a short post as I mean to be revising, as I have my exams and am terrified about them... I'm sure it will be fine, kind of. Anyway, although I may notbe coming back to blogging llife properly, I have now signed up to twitter, so you can learn what I am doing all the time - I think you're going to be disappointed honestly, but nevermind. Hope everyone is having fun xxxx

woah, it worked, my blog is back on, with only 5 months in the lurch! (not many at all). Actually this is probably not a good time to start narrating my life again as it is so cushy at the moment. Over the summer I have got a job at an insurance company in the admin section, it is very boring, but all the ladies who work there too are very nice (all slightly tubby and rather short). They also all seem to be divorced (although sometimes re-married), which is slightly worrying. Kai is staying with me too, he has a job as well, although my most exciting news at the moment is that I own a cat, called Toby, I may even go so far as to put a picture of him up, if I get a nice one. He is a kitten and I rescued him from Kai's work as he had a very bad cold which was getting worse, and all his eyes and nose were running, but, I took him to the vets, made him better and now he lives with me. Hopefully I'll be able to take him to Cardiff with me and have written to my landlord asking...

Nothing else has really happened. It is my birthday in a couple of weeks (to the day), and I also finish work in a week and a half! (Not that I am looking forward to it too much!) Thats about it atm, I am going to go for coffee with Tom and Jules tomz who have been in Nepal and India respectively! Its all very exciting!

Hope everyone is well and all...

2007-01-23T11:22:00.000-08:00

hey guys, soz its been a while, i am videoing; its quicker, it will be up here in the next day (hopefully)or even tonight if google okays it quick enough... see you soon

Hey guys, realising i am surprising you once mroe with my punctuality!

2007-01-08T11:20:00.000-08:00

Well I finally finished my coursework and now just have revision and another essay to do (although this one isn't worth any marks (thankgod)). So life is pretty brill atm, although i have had an hours sleep as the internet thing wasn't working that i had to submit my essay on and i couldn't go to sleep until i'd sent it, cos i thought i might sleep through my alarm and miss the deadline, so it took me until 9:30 in the morning! Rather that than the alternative though; one of my friends didn't get it in on time, 21 minutes late, had to attend a disciplinary hearing and can only get 40% (the pass rate) for his essay.

Anyway, apart from that haven't been doing much, went shopping today, I'm looking for a nice dress to wear when i go home, something informal but nice. Didn't find anything but decided that I'm going to go to the english and philosophy ball in feb, which will be nice. Went into Boots and got loads of free stuff via various special offers and the niceness of the retail women, so was thrilled about that. Ooh, when I go home I have to remeber to take my dresses with me and i know i'm going to forget, but nevermind.

Spoke to Nick today, am making an effort to ring him everyday in case it gets better. But he's just continually tired and doesn't want to put in the effort which is a bit off-putting. So atm its not looking good, but it can all change in 10 days.

Not much else has happened, everyone wants to go out, but we have too much work to do. So we will go to the bar later where i can show off my pool skills (kind of!), lol, Nevermind. Anyway, hope everyone is brill b'a dill (yes that is a real word), atm i am singing along to jamiroquai, which is good, lol, just to improve your mental image! Have fun everyone... xx

so soon you ask?

2007-01-06T15:36:00.000-08:00

I know it has only been a couple days, not much has happened, but i am bored and happily procrastinating. I have been stuck in Cardiff without any flat mates for several days now and am greatly looking forward to tomorrow, when they all return. I have finished a rough version of my essay, which is good, as its in for Monday. Apart from that I have just been watching rubbish tv shows over the internet, mainly desperate housewives, friends and sex in the city, plus a couple of films. Anything to get off having to actually do work. Plus I think I should make more of an effort not to eat rubbish and am trying to put myself off going and making meringues, so far i have put it off for three hours; i'm doing well.

My life is good atm, and I have made an ultimatum to myself about Nick, at the moment we are good sometimes but not others. I'm going home on the 19th, so will dress up, take him out for a meal, and if he is happy, i.e. is putting in effort becuase i am then we will continue for the time being, if he's moody then thats it. Well, nm; least said soonest mended. Hope everyone else is having a more fun time than i, until tomorrow at least, see you all soon, yes, this term i will try and do the rounds, watch out! sar x

i know its been ages

2007-01-03T17:09:00.000-08:00

Sorry guys, i know it has been an absolute age since i last blogged. I have done several on my camera and just not posted them. I cannot do another now as I am in my pyjamas, and so you will just have to make do with words instead!

I realise there is a great deal that I have not typed about, so I will start with Nick's last trip and the panto and then carry on from there, although hopefully reasonably quickly, before moving onto the last night of cardiff, the train the next day and then the christmas holidays (wow i sound like i'm debating)

First things first, at the beginning of December (way back), Nick came down, as he had an interview at Bristol, it was very nice, he liked it, although he liked Cardiff more apparently (although i'm not sure if he wasn't swayed by the people in Cardiff), so we have to talk about where he wants to go next year, I say we, obviously he can make up his own mind (sometimes). It was a shame him being down though, as I was so busy, trying to do a zillion things including the pantomime! JAck and his Giant Beanstalk, although a long time ago was a huge success, we sold out every night, everyone laughed at me, and no one thought that i was rude (or anybody else for that matter). All in all it was brill, apart from the last night (it still haunts me) when the crew played pranks on us, basically there was a dildo on stage in every scene, this wasn't a problem for me until the last scene, where as Andrena will know (she came to watch it), I (after a lot of plot), open a box to reveal a pot noodle horn, my line that follows is; "cunnilingus, can i blow" - the point being that i blow on the horn, pot noodle flys everywhere and Jack is rich and lives happily ever after etc, you can imagine what the horn was exchanged for... it makes it even worse as the whole cast had told me in advance, so i had plenty of time to worry about it. ALthough I was a disappointment to many, who would have liked to have a chuckle at me carrying out my line, unfortunately for them, rob, the dame saved me, after i stood there, kneeling, and staring at it like a daft bugger, he took it from me and did the act himself, (i'm not joking, if he hadn't, the whole cast would still be on stage now) And so it ended, with a brill after show party (until 9 in the morning), and that was that (unitl the DVD!).

I will rush on now to the end of term, which ended with a debating social and then a floor 3 knees up. The debating social was good, i bought a brill red dress and heels (we had to dress up, i went as a sant type figure, i had a hat as well), and we debated and then afterwards went to jumpin' jacks, which wasnt where we'd first intended, but we got thrown out of reflex as one of our party had a N. Ireland driving license which was apparently "dodgy". So it was ok, but why half the people came i don't know, they knew it was going to include dancing, yet it was obvious that they hated dancing... basically it was ten blokes and me standing in a circle, some wearing costume (the guy to my right wore a bin bag; he was dressed as a piece of coal). SO we went back to uni hall tower after a few hours, for our floors party, only to get there and find that the rest of my floor had decided to go out in cardiff after all. SO we waited until they got back and then tried to stay up all night so that i wouldn't miss my train. I ended up having a nap at 8 in the morning, which no one woke me up properly for (although it was my fault) ending up in the awkward postion of missing my train! It wouldn't have mattered but i got one of those cheap tickets, and i'd only missed it by 4 mins. Anyway, was disappointed so was about to go to another platform when Joe (debating Joe) arrived, apparently having run all the way from my halls (a good 50 minute walk) to check that i'd made my train as he felt bad for nto having woken me up! It was surprising to say the least, but really sweet, and he waited with me while i waited an hour for the next train. ANyway, i eventually got home and saw everyone and it was great etc.

I can't go through everything i did over xmas as there was too much so;

saw my irish relatives who now live in leeds on the weekend before xmas
then spent loads of time with nick, and saw everyone else - had an xmas meal, i did pudding which helped make up for my abysmal presents (perhaps)
spent xmas in manchester as usual, but most family were in ireland or newzealand
came back and spent more time with nick and went to kings reunion
realised that i couldnt do my essay at home
decided to come home on the 2nd
went dancing with my mother
had new years at toms, was really brill, much better than previous years
went back to cardiff on the 2nd
spent new year with friends at toms, twas really brill

now i am back, which is boring cos no one else is, but i can't really deal with distractions anyway, i have written 694 words today, which is 100 off my target, but nevermind, i can always do more tomorrow, apart from the fact that my sleeping pattern is completely out of whack and i can't sleep until about 3 o clock.

Today i went shopping for food as well, as i have none, i also phoned nick, although whenever i phone him he always seems to be jsut about to go out, lol. Err, thats all i have done really, atm i am waiting for the rest of a desperate housewives episode to download, which is exciting (not) - it takes ages. Anyway... i am glad that i have caught up with myself, although i have probably missed out crucial bits, but i am sure that they will continue to come up, i may continue writing, opposed to blogging, although that is mroe fun, i cna do this more 'off the cuff', but i will see what happens.

I apologise for my huge amount of spelling mistakes, i was just typing quickly! Hope everyone has had a brill new year, hope to see you soon, i am back on the 19th if you are still in p'boro, see you, xx

Haven't blogged for a while... have had way too much to do, but hopefully i will start to blog more often

fun times

2006-10-14T13:40:00.000-07:00

hey guys, thought i should update you, as i haven't blogged for a while, can't remeber when i last blogged so i'll start from thursday night. Went to debating, my stalker guy was there (and obviously toerh people), we played this game and then went to the pub and played more games, it was good, then like a good girl i left to get a bus at 11:00 so that i would be home and get lots of sleep for my lecture the next day. However, i got home at the same time that chris and tom (guys that do law with me) were going to creation (random club in cardiff), so they said i should go with them, and at that precise moment the taxi came and so i ended up going and not coming back until half three in the morning. Bit knackering, and so didn't get up for my friday morning lecture, but it was only legal foundations, and it meant that i could tidy my whole room and do all my washing as jack and ed were coming down to see the fratellis. Did that, and wrote up a whole bunch of lectures etc, and then went with chris to collect them from the station, we took a while, and i ended up being half an hour late for my panto rehearsal, but people didn't seem to mind. The panto is oging to be really cool, and have noel edmunds in it (randomly), if people want to come down and see it, it is on the 5th to the 8th of december, and will be a laugh, i will put you up in my room, or if theres a lot of you, in a mixture of rooms, tickets are only £5, anyone interested, get in contact. Anyway,

So, left panto early to go and meet up with everyone to watch the gig, it was really fantastic, with everyone jumping up and down like loonies, altho i was really near the front, like the second row bakc, as soon as i have got the photos on my computer i'll stick them on here - some are really good, others are a bit naff. Gig finished, i bought a t-shirt (jack and ed had already bought t-shirts which was good, as they had been in the 'frenzy', and were literally dripping with sweat. We then went and had chips, then came home, talked, then went and played snooker, then went for a walk, then cam home and made sure ed and jack were comfortable - i have a really funny pic of them in bed; they top and tailed in an empty room. By this time it was half five, so went to bed, knackered, and the was woken up at half ten by Nick ringing. He sounded well, although not really happy, but talked to him for an hour, really looking forward to seeing him on friday.

Went back to sleep after we finshed on the phone, but was woken up by ed and jack at half one, got dressed and after more snooker we went and spent the day in town with everyone; pictures to follow, was very good though. Then at about seven we said goodbye to ed and jack and drove back home for tea. It was really weird saying goodbye to ed and jack, i have met so many people and its really weird saying goodbye to people all over again; i said i was looking forward to nick coming, and i am, but saying goodbye to him is going to be rubbish cos i wont see him for a month and a half after he leaves. It would almost be easier not seeing him, becuase then i wouldnt be reminded of how good it is with him. Even though i don't know ed and jack particularly well, i realised how much i missed people i actually know, knowing inside jokes and what people like etc... it was really strange and slightly disconserting. Anyway, matt (smith) is still here, he's seeing another friend in cardiff and at the moment everyone is on floor four, apart form me as i have panto and work to do tomorrow, so i am going to bed now, to try and get my body clock back to some normality - impossible i believe. lol, so anyway, now i am going to bed (nearly), but i am still having fun, although my foot isn't completely healed, and there is a marathon in cardiff tomorrow, so the roads are closed, and i might have to walk there and back ,which will not be good for my feet. But never mind, and i am eating so much at the moment, that a long walk will definitely not do me any harm; i am going to eat sensibly this week, or nick will come and wonder whether i have managed to consume whole supermarkets in the time i have been away, plus my budget starts on monday; argh. Lol, hope everyone is budgeting better than I!

woohoo

2006-10-11T04:43:00.000-07:00

Exciting news; I got a part in the panto! We don't find out what our parts are until Friday, and apparently as first years we are only given small parts to se if we turn up and stuff, but i am still very excited! lol. Luckily, i didn't get into the netball team, as i have a doctors appointment at the same time (which i have to go to in an hour and a half). If anything really terrible happens i'll blog afterwards, but i think it will be okay, hopefully not long term. Err, apart from that life goes on as normal, tonight i have a social with the netball team, which sounds as though its going to be really good. I had lamb with mint sauce and mash potato for tea yesterday and it was gorgeous! Err, i think i have already told everyone the stuff i am looking forward to; bascially the fratellis, then nick coming, then my sister coming, among panto and debating.

At the moment I am having the left over lamb in a sandwhich also with mint sauce; the nicest sandwhich i have had in a long time. Ooh, and i have found a guy that really reminds me of matt benaton, not only does he have crazy similar hair and personality, but the other night at the uni bar "the banana song" came on, and he loves it aswell, lol. Anyway, I will continue to tidy my room, as i imagine when ed and jack come down at some point i might want to brag about its size etc, lol. Everyone have fun...

hey

2006-10-09T12:39:00.000-07:00

thought i should keep everyone up to date on my life, as i enjoy finding out about everybody elses, tomorrow i find out about the plays (i was rubbish, i don't think i have got any part, thats an honest opinion), i also find out about the netball team, the same applies, but its only for this weeks match, so i don't mind at all. My foot is still bad, i'm going to the doctors on wednesday. Err, everyone i know is still really nice, that weird stalker guy is continuing to write on my facebook wall, although he must know i have a boyfriend cos its written on there so i am thinking that i am safe, lol.

Had my first tutorial/seminar thing today, was a bit disappointing, i have never looked so much like a geek, mostly becuase i'd just bothered to read and make notes on all the reading we 'had' to do. Our tutor wasn't bothered at all though and even though these things are compulsory, he said he wouldn't report us if we didn't turn up for a couple. I did think of Andrena during it; he's italian and we were talking about the language we use in law and he said the phrase "latin is dead", lol. Yeah, so a bit disappointing, he didn't really push us, but i'm still going to work, as i still don't know all the stuff i wrote notes on, and i need good grades.

Err, can't really think of anything else to say, but i'll try and remeber to update tomorrow, when i find out about all my failures! lol. I am still having really good fun, hope everyone else is too,

quick update

2006-10-07T12:26:00.000-07:00

The guy that was following me around on that day (the one that pretended to be 28 etc and followed me to sainsburys) has just added me on facebook (I think, it looks quite similar, but apparently i am older than he...? bit scary, lol, the stalking continues unabated! Apart from that am fine, apart from rubbish foot injury, speak soon (I'm meant to be working), byesy

hey

2006-10-06T08:43:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, something weird has happened with my computer, and now some text is really large, including this, so if it comes out large to you as well then I apologise. Err, well I have had a wonderful couple of days. Yesterday I went debating, they put on a show debate for us, but wanted four freshers to go on the teams (there are four teams of two, although obviously only two sides, opp1+2 and prop1+2). Anyway, I (as you might imagine) volunteered, so it was really brill, we debated that "this house believes that teenage pregnancy is better than geriatric pregnancy", we were on the side of the teenagers, and with the wonderful giudance of my partner, some crazily good debating guy (I can't even remember his name), we drew according to the audience, and won according to the judges!, lol, to add to the excitement, me and the other fresher girl (there were two girls and two boys), were voted the best speakers, obviously out of the freshers, the 3rd years, were amazing, it was just really fantastic watching them. Anyway, went straight from there to the law social, which was okay but wasn't as good as i thought it would have been, we went to this club, which was quite good but packed, and we left at about half midnight. Today, I had more good news when i went to look at the societeies boards for the auditions. I have had re-calls for 3 of the 4 plays, and the one i didn't get a call back on, was the one i really didn't want to be in. So, I now unfortunately have to get up and to trevithick hall at nine tomorrow so there goes a lie in, but i really want to get into one of these plays, mostly the pantomime, but we shall see what happens.

Also had a careers talk today, am getting worried about the fact i want to be a barrister and its so difficult to become one, apparently you should have all A's for A-level and even if I just cited my 2 A's and a B I am already behind! Never mind, but if anyone knows any barristers who enjoy giving work experience (and lets face it what barrister wouldn't - that was sarcasm), please let me know, apparently, work experience is the what everyone looks for, therefore we need some... anyway, having the most fab time ever... apart from the fact that i am just about to go and trial for the law netball team, i am rubbish, and i don't think that there are going to be any other freshers, but nevermind... anyway, i will tell you how it goes, hope everyone else is having a good as time as me! sary wary woo (soz, in a bit of a strange mood)

another written blog

2006-10-04T09:23:00.000-07:00

sorry everyone, until i get my camera battery charger these will probably have to be written... Today I have realised how much work I have to do; a lot but not an undoable amount, I'm satisfied. Not really done much else, went to sleep yesterday at 9:07pm, how good is that! I feel much better (I had a cold yesterday). Unfortunately I am out tonight as it is Danny's (person on the floor above's) b'day.

Oh, something did happen (although it wasn't very exciting), I picked up (not meaning to) a random guy, who followed me orund al afternoon, he made me buy cheap bread, which would have been okay, but i didn't want any bread, I also got no dinner, as he said i should eat apples and cheese, at the time he had followed me to sainsburys, he didn't want anything, and had left his friend at the library to come with me, he told me about his life (a wannabe labour MP, does charity work for a Lithuanian school...), and he followed me to the IMG fayre, and wouldn't have joined anything had i asked him why he had bothered coming here if not to join somehting. I would have done anything to get rid of him politely, but i couldn't, so i just lumped it. He's coming to debate club on thursday, but i told him it was at 6:00pm, i just found out it starts at 8:00pm... oh dear, at least i'll never have to put up with him round town again!

Anyway, after that wonderful anecdote I should go, neighbours is nearly on (we meet up and watch it every day), and i also have to read and make notes on 60 pages of unknown law; interesting but long-winded, my notes are rubbish, too long winded. Speak to you later... hope everyone is having fun, today is the first day when I have started to want to see people that know me well, nm, lol, only a few weeks to wait before Nick and Jenny come up (not together, that would be weird), anyway, have fun...

hey, sorry, writing this one

2006-10-03T08:45:00.000-07:00

I thought i would write, as it mean I can stick pictures of the wonderful roast dinner we had on Sunday (yes we were sad enough to take photos of it before we ate it), i had never cooked roast potatoes, but thanks to Andrena's brithday present I had several handy tips on how to do it, and they turned out amazing! (the random slice, is a cheese cake we made for dessert) (Thank you Andrena), ooh, and while we are updating the use on birthday presents; Tom, your DVD is the only one I have bought with me and consequently have watched it abut 6 times, luckily its very good, so I don't mind! Alex, I have unfortunately also had to use you b'day present, not that it is bad, but it has unfortunately rained, you'll also be pleased to hear that so far, I haven't left it behind anywhere!

Yesterday I had auditions, they went okay, the panto was really good, and I really wanted to do that, I had to do a load of characters, and then they had me do the same scene again but in a certain way, and they chose "disabled", so I was three disabled people, and it was surprisingly funny (if you weren't disabled), and minus the small worry that they will play it in public and I will have stuff thrown at me (It was filmed as one of the team wasn't at the audition), it is definitely my best chance of doing something, AMSND was not as good as I thought it would be, unfortunately the girl I did it with was rubbish, adn i spoke way too fast, but i'm thinking its probably better to do something new, only one more to do, tonight, if i can fit it in, if not, then i'll do it on thursday. So, err, haven't really done much, attended lectures, have begun to find stuff out about Law, its better than i thoguht it would be! today I spent £54 on two books, they better be good ones! lol, anyway, i will post this photos, and be done with it. Oh, yesterday I went to Tigertiger (club in Cardiff), which was quite good, I do have a photo of us, but i'll leave that for another time as it is on my phone, atm i have a cold (don't worry, its not a 'sarah' cold), but i'm tired and feel like rubbish and might have a nap now! (went to bed at half one, and woke up at 7:00 am). Anyway, have fun, i'll see you all soon...

What I have done on the 29th September

picture from last night

2006-09-28T16:00:00.000-07:00

Hey, just thought I should send you the picture from last night, as I said I would. From the left to the right; me, I look tubby in this photo, but it is just the fact that I am leaning forward, the biscuits haevn't been affecting me that much! Next to me is Jenn, she lives next door in room 39 and has a similar (but cooler) same taste in music as me, she is doing philosophy and is very nice, she is also going to the fratellis gig next month. Next to her is Nicola, she doesn't really drink, apparently she used to, and is just used to not doing so now, as she drives; she is getting her car up here this weekend, so we will no longer have to walk to the shops! She is doingEnglish lit (I think), and was head girl of her last school, she, like me, also doesn't like people squeezing too close on the dance floor, she also really likes dance music, and noodles. Rosie is the one on the end, she came on Saturday like me and is studying english and german, she also loves dance music and wants to go out and see famous DJ's (who i have never heard of), shes very well organised and very nice, she washed up my plate yesterday! I think that is all the relevant information I have on them. lol, everyone have fun.

Hey, have been doing bits and pieces since yesterday. Last night we went to hear the vice-chancellors address, which was good, he spokem and then all the sabbatical officers spoke. It was really terrible while the vice-president of the SU was speaking though, he asked us to put up our hands if we were from England, so obviously I did then he said "do you know how much you're paying for you tuition fees this year"< and i thought everyone was going to shout the answer (for some weird reason), so in front of about 800 people I yelled "twelve hundre..." before I realised no one else was joining in. It was so embarrasing, and I had hysterics. After the talk we went to the SU (we got in free by going to the talk), and me and Jenn (there were four of us) had a good time, although the music was a bit crap at first, however, nicola and rosie only dance to dance music, and there was stuff like muse and greenday and a load of other stuff i can't remember, so they had a rubbish time and we left really early.

We got back home and had toast and then went to bed as we had to go through enrolement today. Woke up, caught the bus, met a load of other people studying law etc and enroled massive queues, but ok. Came back ate lunch and now am reading and listening to the radio, all brill. Ooh, and Nick is coming to visit me, how exciting is that? He's coming on the weekend of the 19th of October for two nights! lol, am very happy, hope he likes Cardiff!

Anyway, am eating and reading so will keep you posted on everything some other time. Hope everyone else is having fun; keep in contact.

2006-09-26T07:54:00.000-07:00

well i made it!

2006-09-25T03:16:00.000-07:00

I'm here in Cardiff and having a brill time. Err, but first things first; I think I blogged on Friday? so I will begin from late Fri. We went for a meal at Pizza Express in Stamford; me, Nick, Mum, Jenn and Scott (cool American my mum is dating) (and before you say anything Jenn didn't mind the fact that me and mum had dates and she didn't, she shared Nick!) It was a really nice meal, and there were loads of photos and mum gave me a ring (as in jewellery) that she had made as a leaving present, it was really goregous and nice. We left quite early (11:00) and just went home to bed after we'd taken Nick home, as we had to be up at 5:30 tomz morning. I drove, as of yet (and probably for a while) I haven't driven alone, and I really wanted to.

In the morning we woke up not too late, and then left at about 6:40, instead of 6:00, however, the traffic was brill and we made it to Cardiff in three and a half hours. Took half an hour to find my halls, but I did, and unpacked, went out for a disastrous lunch with my mum (the paninis were rubbish). Then came back, mum left I unpcked and then met people in the kitchen. I am in the tower, which has 9 floors, and i am on floor 3, and there are 9 people on a floor, although there are ten rooms... Anyway, everyone on my floor is erally nice, err, we are all girls and at the moment there are eight of us (we don't know whether its an empty room the other, or whether the person is just late (they should have arrived yesterday). I could give you a brief description of everyone, but will do so as stories unravel. We (as a floor) have also made friends with a few people on fourth floor, a couple on second floor, and a few on eighth floor. Everyone is really friendly, and I cannot say that i have met anyone that I wouldn't want to talk to etc.

The first night was a bit rubbish, me and this other girl called Rosie, who looks startlingly like Sarah Ainslie went out in Cardiff, we were aiming for the SU freshers party, but it was sold out, so we wandred into a few places, not doing much (although it took about 4 hours), and by midnight we were both so knackered (we'd both got up at half five that morning), that we went home, but we walked, and our halls, we worked out, are three miles from the city centre, so we were knackered, etc.

Yesterday, Sunday, we didn't do much during the day, I went with Chris (Saunders), who is on the fourth floor(!) to buy tickets for the fratellis, Jack and Ed are coming down from Bath, and we are all going to go on the 13th of October. However, there was no advertising for the gig and so although I knew I hadn't made it up, I still felt worried. We had to queue an hour for them, as everyone was queueing for tickets for another freshers party. However, that was the least of our worries, it was the hour walk there and back that took it out of us, and I was knackered by the time I got home.

We recovered, and in the evening everyone went to Creation, a club in the centre of Cardiff also holding a Freshers party. I went with Rosie (the girl from the night before) and Nicola and Jenn, who had just come that day. It was a really good night as there was every type of music, well kind of, and so everyone was happy. Btw, I don't dance as wildly in front of strangers, so I didn't scare anyone). The only bad thing was that it was really packed so all the time people were bumping into you, which was really irritating. When we first got there I was surprised at the lack of flirting, everyone just seemed to stay in their own groups, apart from male groups of second years who did the circuit introducing themselves to female groups of freshers. However, at about one (it lasted until three), there was suddenly a change and suddenly sleazy guys were doing what tey could to talk to you. We laughed at them and turned away, I guess it added to our entertainment. Luckily, at the ned of the night we got a Taxi back, and then talked in our kitchen for a bit. Sam and Kerry, who had stayed in (surprisingly they are the most crazy out of us), and had played Ker-plunk, Scrabble and Dream Phone. As I have mentioned most, I'll mention the pther two, Charlie, who has really long hair, and has a car, and Laura, who has very long (but tied up) synthetic dreads of bright blonde and electric blue. She talks about them quite a lot. Err, otehr people who have crossed my path; err, ooh, Sarah Waller is here as well as Chris Saunders, but she's not in tower accomodation. Err, on the fourth floor is a guy called Danny ,who is really Northern and studying Law, he's a bit weird, in a crazy kind of way, and also very loud, but he said that if I needed to I could borrow his A-level Law textooks, which was really sweet (that's why my mum wanted me to go to Leeds, as, apparently everyone is friendly). Err, I know others, but it seems pointless to just list names.

I would have blogged earlier but getting onto the internet was really iffy, I had to run the CD about 10 times, and each time took three hours; really rubbish, but I am here now! Not much to do today; vice president/chancellors speak tonight, and then a gathering at the SU. UNitl then, need to go out and get something for tea, but apart from that pretty laid back, although I have enrolment tomorrow, so can't be too much of a late night.

Hope everyone is having as much fun as I!

hey

2006-09-22T05:25:00.000-07:00

hey everyone, realise that i havent spoken for a couple of days, I passed my driving test! I thought i'd got two majors but obviously i didnt! so thrilled about that. Not done much else, went for a meal at Andrena's yesterday for her brithday, and leaving etc, not really done much else apart from get ready for uni. Really annoyed at the moment cos I'm trying to get hold of Jenn and she never has her phone on, she phoned me, asked me to phone her back, and i can't get hold of her! Argh, anyway, going to uni tomz, blog more after that

phewf

2006-09-17T03:06:00.000-07:00

Several things have happened over that last couple of days! I actually have something to talk about for a change. Friday, I started by ringing Sacrewell farm to book camping for my sister's party, however, like all good plans, it went to waste, as Sacrewell farm were having a food and farm festival and therefore there was no space, rang ferry meadows, but there was no space there either, so ended up ringing Northey lodge, on Whittlesey road (never been there), and they had space, so booked that. Then realised that I had to let Jenny know, or it wouldn't happen anyway, but her mobile was off, and she only had one of her friend's mobiles in the family address book, which was also off. Ended up ringing the school and giving her a message that way. Then went to coffee with Jules, Tom, Alex, Mark, Andrena and Mike. (i had invited watkins, but i had only realised that morning that his mob was broken, and so he wouldn't have been able to get the message, i rang his home phone, but he sleeps odd hours, and idn't pick up, i'm not actually quite sure where he is... hasn't been on msn for a while either!)

Anyway, went to coffee, which was to be our last trip with everyone there, as by the time Tom and Jules get back from holiday me, and Alex and Andrena will have already left for uni. It was good, and Nick joined us after a while (he was late as he'd been working), and we just sat and chatted. We all left, and I went to buy things from Waitrose, and Colemans and John Lewis. Then went back to Nick's for five mins before I went to catch my bus, so that i could get home and make flan before I went to the Colemans' leaving meal.

Made flan, which was fun, also made a separate, smaller flan for Nick, who refuses to believe I can cook, however, everyone says my flan is good, so I was willing to take the risk of eternal humilliation, lol. Finished making flan and writing cards for Liz and Joey, got ready and then realised it was already half seven, and i was meant to be there at half seven. By the time I got there, people had just begun there starters, and so i apologised profusely and sat down and ate. The food was wonderful, and after the first two courses Joey stood up and did a speech about us all, it was really brill, and we all got presents, I gave my cards and we all generally had fun and chatted and laughed. Everybody left a bit nippily at the end, me and Greg had to drain our teas to stop us from being left behind. Got home, and then went and picked up Jenny from her music trip at school and I got to drive back! Was fun, and I didn't crash!

Woke up the next morning for my last day at Colemans, Jenny decided she didn't want to go camping anymore as it was too much effort, so it meant that we had to phone everyone who was going to go, bit of a nightmare, but we don't know anyone who actually turned up, so it turned out okay. Walked down with Jenn to colemans, and preceeded to have a good day, taking lots of photos, well, apart from Leanne, who was really sick and surviving on virtually no sleep. When Liz came back at half three she took one look at her and took her home, she was so ill, we think it must have been some kind of food poisoning (hopefully not from the Colemans meal). Apparently Liz says that when they get the new hoover they will christen it Sarah! Bought way too much stationery at the end of the day, and then went home to tidy my room before Nick came. Managed to just about finish. Instead of going camping we took my sister to the Talbot for dinner to celebrate her birthday etc, she took loads of pictures, and we all had fun. Came back, had flan and was so tired that we all went to bed at half ten. Ah, ti was rteally funny (not that funny), quite alte at night, after we had gone to bed I heard a really weird beeping noise, three short beeps, and i was really confused about where it had come from, several possibilities arose in my mind, each of them even more ridiculous that the last, anyway, left it at that and went to sleep. The next morning woke, and after a while went had a shower etc. Glanced at my phone and realised it was my phone that had gone off, and I just had no idea what the message alert sounded like. For so many words, that story wasn't that funny, but nevermind.

Anyway, that just about brings me up to date, walked Nick to the bus stop this morning, as he has a "Pure" band practice, when Nick told Alex on Friday that he was in Pure, Alex stopped stock still, and said in a meaningful tone "do you realise how big this could be?", then she turned to me and repeated her comment, obviously she is quite excited! lol. Anyway, dropped him off, and then Mike texted asking when he could see me this week, I said apart from today I was really busy and so he replied by saying that that didn't matter he could come and see me today. So, its going to be an exciting afternoon...

Tomorrow I am seeing Andrena and Mike, and perhaps Alex and Mark, mostly so that Mike can fit a spare ethernet netword card into my computer, as he is very nice, and suitably knowledgeable, apparently its a piece of cake...? Anyway, will be having a fun week until Saturday/ Sunday when I go... looking forward to it, but i keep reading comments off myspace and msn names which say other people aren't enjoying it as much as they expected... nervous, but ready! lol.

15th September

2006-09-15T03:17:00.000-07:00

Crazy, already half way through September. Exciting things I have done = not many. However, i have been doing a lot more driving, had my mock yesterday, not the best thing i have ever done; six minors, and six serious, but they were for really stupid things. Yet I could repeat stupid things i my test. Pete thinks I'll be okay though, so, well, we'll see.

Played and finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the PS2 (obviously with Nick, I don't own any consoles and dont like killing things in case they kill me). It wasn't that brill, but for a 3+ game, surprisingly scary and difficult at times. Started to watch Sin City, surprisingly gory (Although as it was an 18 i suppose I shouldnt have been that surprised), but i had to leave for a contact lens appointment, so didnt have to endure the whole of it!

Have the last pseudo-coffee meeting today, as Jules and Tom are on holiday, unfortunately I forgot that Watkins' mobile broke, and cannot reach him, so he still doesn't know about it, but everyone else should, lol.

Not done much else, was meant to go dancing last night, but everyone was ill, so didn't go in the end, but tonight I have my Colemans leaving meal (there will be a tear in my eye), I have decided that i am going to make a chocolate flan for work tomorrow! And have to look out for a present for Joey and Liz/Colemans, etc, i think I might just get a range of really nice cards.

I now have to go and ring Sacrewell for my sister, as she has her birthday this Saturday (I'm going too, and if anyone wants to come, feel free, and invite everyone, but tell me first). Anyway, have to go and ring, everyone have fun...

Hello world

2006-09-13T11:09:00.002-07:00

SO much has happened since I blogged last, that most exciting thing that i have been on holiday for a week! It was really brill, the best holiday I have been on for a while, like Jules I am just going to do various good moments;

Crazy car rides/ videoes with Ed, Jack and Matt, especially the roll over beethoven
Chocolate flan and a lot of cake
Winning bop it, with Mark, Jack, Ed and Matt
Walking for two and a half hours to eat a really good (ifa bit late) lunch, before walking home, which took only 25 mins by road
The fact that we drank mostly white wine, so when we spilt it, it hardly stained at all.
Master B, just in general, although there were many highlights
The suicide cult; me managing to sware, and make it look realistic!
Winning the quiz with Jack matt and Ed (we were by far the best Jules!
Oh, naked Ed, on his birthday, fine until Matt told Ali she could switch the light on
My bed, the one that was MINE and not Jack's!
Random films, especially K-pax, Battle Royale, Fight Club, That one with John Travolta where he dances to "There was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well". Aladdin
Going down the river in a rubber ring, behind a rubber dinghy, getting angry stares from a farmer in a tractor
A really mean man who wouldn't tell us about fishing
The lack of towels (who on earth wouldn't bring one?)
The range of underwear I got from Stu and Ali for my birthday (Alex's umberella, Beth's teddy and Jack and Ed's lotery ticket and Macaroni cheese were also very nice)
Matt punching a light switch and breaking it.
Our yellow rubber ball
Songs, mostly, the fratelli's, roll over beethoven, wild wild west, and I ain't sayin' she's a goldigger
The osngs we made up; "We're in a place called the district of the lakes", and "his name was bambi"
Climbing a mountain near Pillar (it was very foggy)
Skiing down the other side of the mountain (I took twice as long as everyone else)
Fighting for the bathroom,, luckily most people were either nice, or naked, therefore unable to fight properly!
Family Guy, futurama and black books,
The fact the DVD player had no remote
All the appliances being rubbish, namely the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher
Calum doing the washing up
The murder mystery, where watkins knew who was the murderer as he caught sight of tom's card
The christmas lights in the cottage
The man who came to check on us, who no one could understand, and his random daughter who stood in our garden for ten minutes
Perudo, Mah jong
Hide and seek, being hidden in a box and ratchett screw driver
Getting there and taking a long cut through single track roads
Jack directing Ed round Keswick on a "short cut" that took us to the back of the queue
That sticky frog, the blue one
Making jokes about all the couples at various times, and what they were all doing, don't ask me to repeat it
MOving all the beds, and then moving them back again
Playing crazy golf, did Mark win in the end? And all MAtt's holes in ones that no one saw
A lot of tea and bisuits, but not as many as i thought there would be
Taking down all the breakables in the lounge and our room
Everything that included laughing, or having a good time...

Anyone with anyother suggestions, comment them and I will add them in, we should all get together and write a list of the best bits, like we did with all our other holidays, ahh well, never mind.

So apart from the holiday I haven't done much, been driving, I have my test next thursday, I might pass, perhaps... I have seen a lot of Nick recently, which has been good, spent the last ocuple of nights at his. He's started work, and is doing fast track A-level physics, so is busy-ish. Been shopping and bought a new top, which I really like (I wore it on Tues). Went to the Met on tues, and saw a load of people, it was good. Nick didn't come, as he had been invited by his dad for a curry, so met him afterwards to walk home with him and siblings and siblings partners, which was fun (they were all a bit tipsy).

SInce then haven't done much, apart form try and organise my sisters birthday party, I am supervising it, and so am inviting anyone who wants to go to sacrewell farm on Saturday night from 7 onwards, if you can only turn up late, do so anyway (I know matt lowes party is also on), but turn up and make the night more bearable and fun, but tell me before you turn up to make sure we have enough space in tents etc, bring anyone you want, well, nearly anyone! lol.

Hope to see a few people there, but if not then I will see people around, I'll try and keep blogging while at uni, so watch this space! (Now I have to go and read my previous blogs as apparently joycee has commented on them!)

Everyone have a brill end of summer!

hey

2006-08-28T12:45:00.000-07:00

realised i cut my blog short last time, but never mind. Haven't done much in the last few days, was at Matt Smiths yesterday, was fun, and there were loads of people there that we were going to the lakes with, so it was fun to see everyone. Err, apart form that I have been driving, and I feel really icky about it, in the past two weeks I will have spent £200 on driving lessons; if i fail my test i'm going to cry and then never learn to drive. I am going to have no money when I go to uni, and if i don't have a driving liscence either it will all have been for nothing, i will have spent £700/£800 on nothing; how rubbish is that.

Today I helped my mum sell at some craft fair, it was ok, I went through phases, I stayed at Matt's yesterday and so am now knackered (much more so than usual when i have only had five and a half hours sleep). Craft fair was good but it meant I couldn't sleep and the only thing i had to eat until tea wascake, as it was the only thing they sold at the craft fair, so basically I am fat and poor, lol, at least i won't have to afford food when I go to uni.

Trying to sum up the energy to invite people for coffee tomorrow after yet another driving lesson. I think i will phone them now, on my new phone! (Don't worry, I am still on the same number, lol). Anyway, hope everyone has fun, oh and if anyone has the address of where we are staying at the lakes can you e-mail ed with it, thanks.

heloo

2006-08-26T16:01:00.000-07:00

haven't blogged for a few days so thought I would now. Atm I have just said good bye to Jules and Alex who came round this evening; we ate pizza and cookies and watched the family guy movie, all of it was good fun. Have been doing bits and pieces in the last week. Err, had a mock test yesterday, i got twelve minors seven serious fails an one dangerous, its less than a month to my test, but Pete says we can turn it around( he's my instructor). WOrked at Archies yesterday, my first realy good shift, where i have known exactly what to do; unfortunately they now do not have any work for me next week, and I am on holiday the week after that.

Went to the dentists on thursday (yes, i am re-living time backwards), it was a new one in St Ives, she said my teeth were fien and I don't have to go back for a year ( I have, however, (those three words took me ages to type as I missed out the commas and then had to morally debate with myself whether I should go back and put them in, as you can see, I decided to) filled my mouth with e-numbered jelly sweets so will have to have fillings next time)

My mother has just come back early from her party, so willl have to save my ramblings till next time, hope everyone is having fun!

woo, cardiff here i come

2006-08-19T10:46:00.000-07:00

Just thought I should tell everyone about results day. I was thrilled, I ended up with two A's, two B's and a C in critical thinking, lol. But the best bit is that I got into Cardiff! How wonderful is that!?!? So, it was all good, and think of all that worrying for nothing!

I haven't really done much since I got results, on the day, we went to Jules' after, and ate biscuits cooked by her sister, and drank champagne from Tom's dad, which was very nice, then went to the Drapers for literally 3 minutes, to say a quick hi, as I was going shopping in town. Bought a new pair of jeans and then went home, to change and have coffee with my mother and go back into town to visit Nick, he is having a gap year as he didn't get into Med school, but he seems quite happy about it. Saw him for a bit, and then we went to Alex's. From there we went to "Ask" for a meal with quite a few other people and although the food took a while it was very nice. For the first time ever I didn't have pizza while I was there, or pudding for that matter (although not by choice), after that we went back to the Draper's Arms and then from there me, Alex and my mum went to Chicagos. We had the best time ever, lol, it was so funny, and there was this one guy who was really good at dancing; he danced with everyone and swung one lady around quite a lot, she looked slightly terrified, lol, but he was very entertaining to watch (and to dance with occaisionally, lol).

Yesterday I tried to go to work in Archies, but they sent me home after two hours as it was really quiet, I am working there tomorrow as well, but I wish they would send my home early then too. Its not that I don't enjoy it, but I don't know what to do, so I feel everyone gets annoyed with me, and I don't know the prices of anything, I'm not used to being the less experienced one, and its not something I particularly look forward to, and I don't seem to be getting any better, still, practice makes perfect.

Today I worked at Colemans, and was knackered as I spent the day yesterday also painting the kitchen, which was good, although now my back feels like it has broken. The day went really quickly with highlights such as being told how to play the "worm game", fun to wathc but not to play, and getting a box of chocolates, and then finding out that they were dark chocolates (I'm going to give them to Nick, lol), apparently there were three boxes of milk, obviously three for the Saturday staff, but all the big ladies took them (big as in old, not fat)l so me and Katie were really annoyed, as we don't eat milk chocolate.

Anyway, am home at the moment, not doing very much as I had to be home tonight as my mum has gone out and doesn't want my sis to be alone as she has only just got back from holiday, she is singing very loudly, I hope she stops soon!

Everything in general is well, not really much news, lol, Mike texted about my results and I told him, he was pleased and is now on holiday! Hope everybody got good results, etc, and they are all doing whatever they want next year. Have fun.

hey

2006-08-16T12:13:00.001-07:00

hey everyone, soz I haven't blogged for a while. I have been on holiday (only for the weekend) with Jules and Alex, so that I could see my grandparents, and they could, well... err, they just agreed to come with me because they are nice. I had a good time, saw some family, stayed up too late etc.

Apart from being on holiday I haven't really done much. I have been to work, and had wonderful times at both. I worked with Joey on Saturday the MD and she said that she was going to put my two weeks of sick leave on my next wage packet as she felt so bad as the injury was caused while I was at the Colemans fun day! so that was all brill. Err, I have seen Nick a few times, we tried to give blood yesterday, but I got the dates wrong, and we weren't meant to go until next Tuesday, but I didn't realise until we had walked all the way there! lol, I felt quite stupid.

Waiting for results tomorrow, don't have much hope, lol, but either way we are going out and celebrating tomorrow night, if anyone wants to join us we will be at Flares from about 11, lol.

Mike has texted me a couple of times, lol, I think he's still hopeful, I told him that I'd tell him my grades tomorrow and he has just texted me to tell me what time he finishes work so that i can ring him, i think that i will just text him instead, lol.

Ooh, I am being allowed to drive into Peterborough to collect my results tomorrow! lol, exciting stuff, and it means we wont get there that early, lol, although I am aiming for ten o'clock, so that i can get in the queue early enough.

Well, i am dure i will see a collection of people tomorrow, good luck, and congratulations or commiserations if i do not see you... phew, at least it will be over soon. oh, btw ,hope joycees party was good on saturday? lol, obviously we couldn't go ( i say we, i mean me and alex)

hey

2006-08-16T12:13:00.000-07:00

hey everyone

2006-08-11T05:36:00.000-07:00

Well, everyone seems to know already, thanks to Pete my helpful driving instructor, so for the rest of you, I'm going out with Nick, yes I can hear the groans already, i apologise for any inconvenience, feel free to leave a message on my voicemail telling me I'm a gimp, lol, actually, no, don't call me a gimp, apparently its a really offensive word meaning cripple, and although I was one once, just a few weeks ago, I no longer am.

Not done much, working at Archies tonight, and going on holiday tomorrow, just for the weekend but am back on monday night, in plenty of time for results. Oh god, results, I am not looking forward to them, but I suppose it could be worse, at least there is such a place as clearing. lol. Anyway, I refuse to think about them any more. Really want to go and see a live comedian, someone like Bell Bailey or Ardal O'hanlon, so am spending my days looking for someone before i go to uni, who is performing reasonably locally, so far nothing, but i keep hoping.

Not doing much else, but looking forward to holidaysing! hope everyone has fun

helloo

2006-08-06T05:34:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged ofr a while, so i thought i should. I have been out of the house for nearly a week now, since Monday, and I am loving every second of it. I hated being kept at home, but its made the rest of my summer much better as i appreciate doing things so much more. I took my thoery test and I passed!! I am now trying to get a cancellation with my driving test as there are no spaces, so I just have to hope. I passed easily on the multiple choice questions 34 out of 35, but on the hazard perception bit i only got 46, the pass mark is 44, lol, its because I clicked too much on this really easy one, so I should have got 51, but nevermind; i still passed.

I also broke up with Mike (at last), it was the best break up i have ever had. We both left happy, well, obviously he didn't leave thrilled, but he said that he understood, and that I had to go off and go to uni ( i said there wasn't enough space in my life for anything apart from exams results, then clearing then uni etc etc). He said that if I ever had enough space that I should call him, and that we should definitely meet up together again, even if it was just as friends, and he made me promise I would tell him about my results, etc. He is so nice, lol, but nevermind, we must go on.

Oooh, Jenny (my sis), got the job at Colemans, and she will carry on from where i left off, how exciting is that, we went out to celebrate on friday (I day we, it was meant to be me, my mum and my sis, but in the end we ended up inviting Nick aswell, long story, but it was really brill).

I worked at Colemans yesterday for the first time in three weeks, it was really good, we had to produce slogans advertising our tuck shop, the best few were; "our tuck shop; its tucktastic", and "tasty treats to sweeten up your week at Coleman's tuck shop". So if you're in Oundle in the next few weeks walk past Colemans and you'll see the final choices in the window.

I have done lots of little things but not really anything to write about; I have bought the coolest hat ever, in the sale, I ended up getting 93% off a hat in accessorize, i was meant to be getting 70% off but I ended up getting more and i wasn't going to argue. I am going to see Julia today, I had to do lots of persuading but Tom's away so she didn't have any excuse, lol, but it should be fun.

At the moment I am very happy, lol, just in general, although quite poor, as I haven't been working for ages. I don't really have many plans for the week ahead, going to the cinema with Nick tomorrow to see "break up", lol, ironic, but apart from that am hoping to work and then next weekend I am going to worthing with Alex and Jules (Andrena's seeing her nan), just for the weekend, although it will mean that I miss Joycee's party at the weekend; have fun! Anyway, I suppose I should let people get back to whatever they are doing. I will no doubt update my blog if anything exciting happens, and failing that, prob next week, when i come back from holiday ( i'm back late on monday).

Hope everyone is having as brill a time as I am!!!! Have fun

update

2006-07-30T07:17:00.000-07:00

haven't blogged for a while ,so i thought i should. lol, having been stuck at home for the last one and a half weeks not that much has happened. Well, mediumly. I am finally allowed out tomorrow! yay! I will relish my freedom! I am no nearer to dumping Mike than I was before, I have suggested it, and that a long distance relationship with someone i don't know is not what i want, but he tried to persuade me otherwise, so we decided to keep thinking about it, and he is now down in Portsmouth for a week, so when he comes back I can say "look we've tried it for just a week and it isn't working" etc, it'll be fine (I was reassuring myself there). NOt much else has happened, oh apart from the fact that I kind of went out anyway on Thursday to see Nick and have a driving lesson, both were good but not worth the risk if my mother found out, luckily she didn't! Who knows what would have happened. Ooh, I have also booked my theory test for the 3rd of August, I am going to fail hazard perception! lol.

I think thats all for now, everyone keep having a good summer!

another update

2006-07-25T03:55:00.000-07:00

Well, I have been doing nothing but resting with my stupid leg, it is so frustrating not being able to go anywhere, everyone's going out and i am staying at home lying down! Argh, i'm going mad. Oh, I'm also going to dump Mike, well I'm trying my best, but i feel really bad doing it. He's really nice, but it would jsut never work, after this week I will only see him for another two before I go to uni (maybe three), but its jsut not worth it getting all into him and then having to break up, its just come at the wrong time, so I'm going to have to try and tell him, but i feel really rubbish, and have been up all night fretting.... but I'm sure it'll be fine.

I don't really have much else to say, apart from my wish that I can leave my house tomorrow to go into town and see people, I am rerally hopmig, so I am going to be gutted if I can't, anyway, I have to go and rest now! Hopefully see people soon, hope everyone is having a fun and dandy time!

another leg update

2006-07-21T10:09:00.000-07:00

Well, I went to the doctors again today. I now have a pair of crutches, apparently now, it is a problem with my back, and i have a trapped nerve. They got the physio to twiddle around with my back, and it did feel alot better, so I am hoping that now it will start to get better, but we will just have to wait and see...

Mike has been so sweet these last couple of days; he came over to see me yesterday, and ended up buying tea for me and my sister (and him), and preparing it and he just sat with me all evening (we couldn't go anywhere, as i have been immobilised). He came around today as well, and just again sat with me generally being nice. We went to the doctors, and left him behind saying that we would only be ten minutes, and didn't arrive back for an hour, however, he didn't seem bothered about it, he just wanted to make sure i was still okay. Maybe Julia's right and I do have really low expectations, but i think that that is just so sweet. I don't think i like him as much as he deserves... he said he'd come and see me tomorrow.

More updates to follow, i literally haven't done anything else as I have to rest my leg, any invitations to come over and drink tea with me, or to just phone and have a chat would be welcome, only if i know you though... or that would be weird, plus you wouldn't have my number... anyway, i am sitting at home feeling sorry for myself! hope everyone ish aving more fun in their holidays than me.

my leg

2006-07-20T10:25:00.000-07:00

don't have much time, but had to update on my leg. I hurt it while banana boating, and it swelled and is now really bruised and painful, and i am on antibiotics and shouldn't work at Colemans this Saturday! more updates to follow...

haven't said anything for a while

2006-07-18T14:21:00.000-07:00

i haven't been online for quite a while, and therefore not blogged. Thought I should do a short update, befroe i have to sleep as i have work and jules' 18th tomz, with no time inbetween. Have done quite a lot, seen Mike (he invited me to Wales sometime this summer), been to a Colemans summer doo and killed my leg, it swelled to twice its original size and bruised badly, and now i have to limp everywhere, but i hope it will be better soon. Just read JUles' blog in which she says (and I quote) "Sarah's voice could pierce a brick", any comments declaring my voice is not piercing would be wqelcome, any otehr comments on my voice would not be. Other than that I have happilly mulled along in my life, I am determined to keep a diary and have been doing so, giving me slightly less reason to blog, although if i had longer it would mean that my blog could be kept very accurate.

Anyway, I have to go and sleep now, before my leg drops off, but i will see some of you tomorrow, and the rest soon enough. Everyone have fun.

haven't posted for a while

2006-07-10T04:35:00.000-07:00

thought i should blog as i haven't for a while. I'm just going to blog on the weekend, as i haven't really done much before hand.

Friday, I was so busy doing a million things. Pete has a new gear stick, and its fantastic, I had a driving lesson, and it was completely brill. Err... ran around like a loon most of the day, Mike rang to see if we could meet up and i couldn't, lol. Had dinner with my dad and jenn before they went off to my granddads 80th, and then went to Alex's. From there we travelled to Mark's house, and then to Tom's for his and Nick's birthday thing. It was really brill, we sat round, ate mexican and laughed basically. In the end it was just me alex jules andrena tom nick mark and daniel as everyone else was ill (ali came for about 15 mins), lol. There's not much else to say really; ooh, Nick has had his hair cut! It looks soo much better now, he also gel/waxes it or something and it looks so much more normal, its taken way too long for him to get a normal hair cut, but i think we are all pleased (well those of us who care... ). In the end I got Tom a book and Nick a £10 voucher for virgin. The book was something that Tom wanted (I think), and I realise Nick's present was a bit lame, but I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't oohey. Oh, and I managed to buy Nick the same birthday card as Bob, lol, I was impressed.

Saturday, Lucy's last day, so there was not much work and a lot of cake and good wishes. It was really brill, in the way that we all had fun and did exciting things. I can't believe she's actually left; its going to be so weird next saturday. I was shattered from last night, as I spent the night at Alex's, went to bed at about quarter past two and woke up at seven. However, I was quite awake at the end of work, so I spent a couple of hours with Mike after work and then Andrena picked me up and we went to Matt's party. It was really brill, although I felt really bad as I had left his present behind at Colemans (I wont say what it was as I haven't given it to him yet, but its quite cool). I ended up staying overnight, which would have been fine, apart from Watkins being sick on Matt's floor. I'm really funny about sick, it makes me feel really queasy; i don't think I can ever have children for this reason, but i'm hoping that some kind of maternal instinct will kick in so that i'll be okay.

On Sunday I didn't really do much, apart from see Mike, he was so sweet, my mum and sister came back and not only did he put up with hearing my mother's divorce story, but also an interrogation by my sister with such questions including "the navy; is that the plane one?". It was interesting... lol, nah it was vwery fun.

Anyway, that has been my weekend, hope everyone else is having fun!

4th july?

2006-07-05T05:32:00.000-07:00

not sure of the date, or when i last blogged so there might be some overlaps...

haven't done much in a way, i had the leavers service and dinner, which was really good, not much to say apart from now that we have left its a bit scary; see toms blog for bigger details of the actual event. lol. Err, if anyone wants photos of the event comment me, and i will e-mail them to you, i have finally worked out how to compress them all into one e-mail, which is more exciting than you can imagine. Ooh, I have started knitting again, just making a small scarf, but the wool is quite exciting.

Yesterday I got a job! I now also work at Archies the wine bar in oundle, which is very exciting, I went and asked yesterday an they were short staffed that day, so I started within the hour, lol, its perfect as it means that i have a bit of extra money and my mum is off my back! yay!

Haven't done much apart from get a job; I've seen quite a bit of Mike, but he's moving up to Oakham this week (from whittering), and so he is busy packing etc, but it is going well. Yesterday I saw Alex, I feel that I haven't seen anyone for ages, even though it has only been a few days. We just went for a drink in the Drapers Arms, but it was nice, she's going to Cromer today so she left early this morining and I ended up sleeping at hers till about ten, much to her mother's horror I am sure, lol, but it was good, we caught up, although we still haven't been tp play pool, i am feeling left out! lol.

I think that that is all my news for now, I will see people probably on friday or saturday, and i'm sure someone (me) will arrange coffee or something for the week after, hope everyone is having a good holiday!! No more work, well, not school work! Have fun

hey

2006-06-29T05:58:00.000-07:00

hey everyone, haven't blogged for a while. Not much news to say, apart from the thrilling fact that no one now has anything to do! lol, as we have all finished our exams, and we have two months before we have to drown our sorrows (or celebrate joys... pah). Atm I am trying to sum up the courage to look for a job (another one, obviously, I'll stick at Colemans), I have had my job for three years and had totally forgotten how scary it is to go into some shop/pub and ask whether they have any work... I think its because I am a whoose, however, even so, its taking ages. I am determined in the next hour and a half to go to the George (the pub just up the road), and ask, (after an hour and a half I have a driving lesson), but I don't think I am going to, I keep coming up with excuses, but I have to get a job; I just can't afford not to.

So, apart from my job crisis; went out on tuesday with the 'gang', went for chinese, which was good, and then we went bowling; I haven't been bowling for years, and secretly hate it, but it was still fun, and I wasn't quite as bad as I remembered; although nearly; my score was 72. err, ooh, I have seen more of Mike; it's going well; yes we are still only "seeing each other" as opposed to going out, but we are getting closer (to going out, although obviously we are getting closer to each other as well? that sounds a bit weird...). Last tiem we met up we walked down the river in Peterborough, and came to this bench; it was the romantically cliched scene ever, not only was the bench inbetween two trees staring at the river, and the weather was nice, there were these little bits of fluff in the wind (from the trees, they clooked like dandelion seeds) and they literally continually danced past us in the lightest of breezes, and it looked like it was snowing without the rubbish temperatures, and it was really pretty. We laughed, it did look almost pathetically cliched, but it was still quite pretty. Not really much coming up; leavers dinner on Friday, I have eventually decided what dress I am going to wear (my pink one, that I wore for the sixth form revue). Sarah Coopers party on Saturday, still can't decided whether I am going to go or not... its Amy's as well; Amy has a sister Lucy, in my sister' year, and she has invited Jenny to be her friend to go with her... I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing... Ooh, and Nick and Tom's birthday the Friday after, with Matt S after that, oh btw, tom, and anyone who cares, but it relates to a conversation we were having; if we do end up staying somewhere I can get a seven o'clock bus back to oundle in the morning! lol.

So, minus those exciting things, I am just looking for jobs and then hopefully working, if I ever go out looking for a job, let alone getting one. Well I hope everyone has an exciting holiday, I'm sure I'll be back blogging soon, oh, and joycee has a new mobile no. for anyone who he didn't manage to text... I'm obviusly not going to put it up; you'll have to ask him. Anyway, have fun everyone...

23rd June

2006-06-23T04:22:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that it is only the 23rd of June, yesterday I had a bit of a mental lapse where i thought it was the 28th (don't ask), lol, so i wished Katie C a happy birthday (only via myspace), without realising that it wasn't the 28th; i thought it was strange, becuase we always get a birthday card from colemans, but I hadn't been asked to sign one... anyway, just to let everyone else know; its the 23rd today.

Apart from slight mental lapses nothing has really happened in the last couple of days. Err... can't quite remebered when i blogged last and whether i had done my connections exam; if not, then i think it went quite well. Err, had general studies which was fine; just really boring. Oh, i felt really bad, on wednesday cos after the exam we went to Jules', and mike texted me and wanted to meet up so i agreed and said he'd be in town in half an hour, i was half-way through a mug of tea and I really didn't want to go and meet him. Lol, but then i actually went and he was really nice and sweet, and I felt really terrible, lol and we went for a drink, walked by the river etc (I didn't tell him I hadn't wanted to meet him, obviously) and it was really nice. when he was little his younger bother and him also had guinea pigs, they named them; "redpig" and "blackpig", when he told me I had hysterics, and even writing it now, i am laughing as I speak.. ahh dear, lol.

Anyway... enough procrastinating, I should be doing theatre studies notes, yet am not, in any way shape or form. I feel really tired as I had to stay up late last night writing a practice genre studies exam so that my sister could hand it in today when she goes to school. After I had written it I went down to watch the last ten minutes of Lost, realised it was Thursday, not Tuesday, and then had an hours talk with my mum, when i was really tired... anyway... hope everyone else is doing more revision then me... have fun.

hey...

2006-06-21T11:40:00.000-07:00

hey, feel I haven't blogged for a while, although not a great deal has happened (stu that does not mean you can just scan the rest of this article). My exams have all gone ok (i think), apart from English that was a total disaster, as I answered a question on the wrong section (question 11 instead of 4) and now I have lost 45 marks without doing anything, and the chance of me getting an A is possible, but very small. Connections this morning was good though, so atleast there is an upside.

Haven't done much else except revise, oh, I have seen Mike a few times. lol, all is going well; yes i'm still "seeing him", and we are not going out, although I suppose we are getting closer... (that sounds a bit dodgy, didn't mean it like that). He's very nice (and straight), and yeah, thats all there is to say really... he's coming to oundle on friday (no, not to my house Tom), lol, but it'll be fun to show him the sights, etc, the coffee tavern is very exciting after all! lol.

Anyway, I'll let everyone get back to their revision, we do have general studies tomorrow afterall! lol, goodluck to anyone that has exams...

woohoo, lol

2006-06-16T02:13:00.000-07:00

Well, thought I should give everyone a quick (I'm meant to be revising), update on Thursday. Basically, wow, not having dated really at all, especially not in the last two years, nervous was my general feeling, but Mike is just the sweetest guy ever. I could say a thousand things I now know about him, but it wouldn't mean much to you and would take too long. Needless to say that I am continually smilling, and the only reason I am gutted is that I have to go to Manchester on Sunday to say goodbye to my Auntie (the one who is going to New Zealand), and so I can't see him again till Monday. I know this sounds kind of one-sided, although it seems that he is just, if not more, thrilled by our newly sprung relationship as I am. lol. Nothing else has really happened, but I have a driving lesson in 45 minutes! yay! and then i am going into town to hand in an english essay, which isn't that brill but has a great conclusion, then meeting people in Nero's for coffee at two, and the sun is shining! The world is good in general, and I hope everyone is having fun revising in the sunshine!

JUNE

2006-06-12T04:27:00.000-07:00

just a quick post, had a flick thorugh my previous blogs, and realise that I have been writing May in the title, instead of June, I have now corrected myself... until next time...

12th May

2006-06-12T04:17:00.000-07:00

Twicei nthe space of three days! I'm getting better, lol. Still haven't really done much though. Daniel was fine by the way, although he wouldn't get to sleep for ages. Then went dancing with my mum, which was really brill, we went to Flares, and it wasn't that busy, and we were about to go home about one-ish, and then i started dancing with this guy (I never dance with people, if anyone tries to come and dance with me, I pull my "you are scary and disgusting" face; ask me for a preview! but anyway... he had this really drunk friend that kept trying to dance with my mum and me (I?), (he dropped a bottle near my foot, and my foot ended up being cut (slightly)), anyway, the guy very kindly rescued me, we got dancing, swopped numbers and I'm going to see him on Thursday. Ooh, and I have been doing loads of driving with my mother! which is completely unheard of, not only have I been to the Haycock and back this weekend, but I also drove to Peterborough on Saturday night!

Haven't really done much else but revision, am trying to get myself to read Surfacing for the sixth time, but I am going to write notes in it first, so it is taking longer than expected. Haven't really seen anybody... although obviously this Saturday there will be a big group outing. Its come to that time of year again; The dean's garden party ( i wrote about this last time didn't i?) well, just to re-iterate, £5 a ticket, from the finance office, come, it'll be really brill.

I really think thats all the news I have, err, my eating pattern has been really weird lately, i think it's the heat, but I am just not hungry, at all, but I don't think that that can be healthy, so I making myself eat at lunchtimes, but I have like the smallest amount of food ever, and then I feel really full. Hopefully the imense heat will end soon, or there will be a wind. Anyway, good luck to everyone revising for english on wednesday (and all other exams too...).

10th may

2006-06-10T11:36:00.000-07:00

hey, I feel as though I haven't posted for ages (mostly because I haven't), but not much has really happened, errrr. Well, obviously I have started my exams, and they are 'interesting', lol, well so far they have just been re-takes, so if I mess them up its not that important, but all the rest that I have to come I can't mess them up, so nervous would describe my mood. Haven't really seen many people, went for a bbq at andrena's last week, but I think that I have already said about that; my short skirt? This Saturday I am going dancing, with my mum! lol, because I am sad, and it is really fun, as no one else dances as crazily in public as me and my mother (it's a scary sight). Atm I am babysitting for a couple of my mum's friends, until half ten when we are going. It was our last day at Colemans todya before Greg joins, so we just ate and laughed, I have a couple of really funny vidoes on my camera, and photos, which I will try to send to Lucy and Katie, if I get a chance.

Oh,we had fun on Friday when we went to Nero's to celebrate Beth's birthday (I have photos from that too, if people want) and that was brill, err... apart from that though and the odd revision session I have stayed at home, been boring and revised, ooh, I have started on myspace though! lol, scheck me out if it appeals... its not very exciting at all. Oooh, and today at Colemans I bought some new sketchbooks as we were having a two for the price of three offer (which is still on, available at all branches! we also have three for two on pens, and pads, paints and paintbrushes, so pop in t5o your local branch!). So I think that I will sit here and draw, and wonder whether to go and see Daniel (the little boy I am babysitting, wait... he is now banging very loudly, so I htink I might!

hey

2006-06-04T07:53:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't blogged for a while... Stu's was really good, lol, although it was quite a long time ago now, or so it seems. Not really much gossip or jokes to tell... well... saw some nice second-hand bookshops had a cream tea, went to a R.S. revision session, learnt how to differentiate (is that how you spell it?) swam, had a barbeque, err and just generally enjoyed ourselves, although Stu never invited Nick in the end, so I felt slightly bad, although not as bad as on wednesday, when we went to Ali's for a bbq and Nick was there and it was really obvious that we had gone somewhere altogether and he hadnt been invited; I felt really bad. Err, yeah so Wednesday was good... had fun, went to the Drapers afterwards and i went home on the seven bus, no thanks to Haggis, trying to trick me otherwise. ooh, that reminds me, congratulations to H and L, if you know what I mean then you'll understand, if you have no idea; I don't know whether its gone public yet. Err, didn't really do anything on Thursday apart from some theatre revision; I am doing the re-take and am going to write about the R+J production even if all the questions are wrong. Friday I went for a driving lesson and saw my dad, the first was v. good, the second was, as always, an event, lol, it was fine, and I got the sweetes, softest reindeer in the world, which he bought me when he went to Finland (its not real). Saturday went to work, then afterwards the weather was gorgeous and so went to Andrena's and had a bbq, which was really brill, apart from my clothes (if you were there you'll know what i mean) I was wearing, well, not quite enough. But i wasn't cold, surprisingly, and it meant that when I spilt tea down me, none of it spilt on my clothes! Everyone was generally jovial, minus Nick, who sat (literally) about 2 metres behind me and to the right, completely out of the circle, and was silent for roughly three hours. Weird. Slept over at Andrena's, we were going to camp, but whoosed out (the tent wasn't set up), and ended up on her bedroom floor, which was surprisingly comfortable, I slept till eleven the next morning, then after a cup of tea wet home. When I got home Kevin was there! so talked to him for a bit, slightly surreal, he's not as I remember him (Kevin btw, is my mums new guy, well, prospective guy). Then Kevin and mum went out to lunch, and I haven't really done much since. At the minute I am listening to Radio 1, and psyching myself up to do R.S. revision., so everyone have fun and revise lots!

err, whatever the date is...

2006-05-29T05:16:00.000-07:00

I'd like to apologise for my appalling blogging behaviour last night. lol. i think it was lack of sugar, as soon as i had finished i went and baked some fairy cakes and that put me in a good mood. I am really looking forward to going to Stus, esecially his antique shop, which he has promised me serve cream teas! so you know... material pleasures and all that! lol. Atm am packing, which isnt that big a job but i keep being distracted; I started two hours ago and all i have done is put my purse and phone in the bag. So as i only have another two hours before i catch my bus i think i am in trouble. I have at last washed this top that has needed a wash for about a year and a half, but it is delicate and has to be washed at 30 degrees so i have always put it off, as it would have to be washed by itself, but yesterday i thought "what the hell" and stuck it in the machine, and am now wearing it! I have the worst pain in my neck ever, on the right-hand side. This morning I let my mum have the shower first, so while i was waiting i decided to do a few sit ups, but i'm really unfit, so when i got to about twenty five i was really having to whizz my body up as the force of this was mostly the movement (this sounds really confusing, prob not best to try and understand it)that allowed me to sit up, however, i think as i waswhizzing up i cracked my neck, hence the injury; i cant think of anyother way i might have done it. but it really hurts, and i cant move my neck to the right. but i hope it will be okay soon, although i cant think that a couple of nights on the floor is going to help it. Anyway, have to go and pack now, i'll blog again after I get back on wednesday and tell everyone how it actually was; much better than i thought it was going to be yesterday. Anway, everyone have fun. keep revising.

28th may

2006-05-28T13:49:00.000-07:00

well today has been rubbish, haven't done nething, or had anything to do, sorted my uni acomodation, watched "emma", "ally mcbeal", realised i am putting on weight, been irritable with everyone, mostly from lack of sugar, felt like there's nothing to look forward to and generally hated the world. Bit of advice; dont ask me about it, i will go on, and it is boring; its boring for me, everyone else must be bored rigid (corrugated cardboard comes to mind when i think of the word rigid, i suppose it is more rigid than other cardboard, but you would have thought that if i had thought of the word rigid some sheet of really thick metal would have sprung to mind, perhaps corrugated iron...?) neway, well ,there isn't much more to say. Tomorrow I'm going to Stu's four couples me and watkins for two days, its gonna b a ball, soz stu, it'l b great, i'm just moody, i think part of it is that I have my music on shuffle and it keeps shuffling to all these really sad songs, at the moment its "everybody hurts" mayb the next one will b more peppy, i aplogise for my language, its kinda texty. I tidied my room, which was good, oh and tom, we didnt climb on the roof on friday, that two-long year pact, and it never came to anything! lol. Nope, its snow patrol. err, well everyone have fun, i will. i must remember to revise, i dont think theres much else to say, i know i havent blogged for a while... err, last day, was rubbish, no, it wasnt rubbish, just the first in a long line of goodbyes that i dont want to say. if anyone wants photos; ask; stu sent me a load and including mine i have about 150; well like i said have fun.

becuase i should...

2006-05-24T08:45:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged for ages, well a while, so thought I should. Haven't really done anyhting (as usual), err having last lessons, which are really sad, went for my english meal last night, it was really good, and everyone has been saying how they are going to miss us, lol, Mrs Tate called me ditzy and full of wisdom! lol (if you do RE you'll understand better), changed the back of my hoodie now so it says "Dooblie Sar", lol, after a lot of debate. Had an exam yesterday, probably better if you don't ask about it. Err, not much else has happened, oh, Stu, if you read this, bit of a favour; can you invite nick to the dooblie on mon/tues/wed, he wont come, I can promise you, but not inviting people places makes me feel so bad, if it was the other way around i'd go mental, and I know that he prob wont care either way, but can you anyway? to make me feel better? lol. Thanks. Ooh, finished reading "Wild Swans", so if anyone has questions about Mao and communist China in the early 1900's ask me (as long as its from a human perspective) lol. Have just baked raisin buns for english tomorrow (notice the slight change from raisin bread; their buns... with raisins in!). Anyway, am going to do something more productive, well, something else... anyway, have fun, hope everyone is revising hard!

thursday (I have no idea of the date)

2006-05-18T09:57:00.000-07:00

Well today has been a mixture of ups and downs. Haven't done much, I know I always say that, but well, its always true. Had an English lesson, which was okay, we're going to have a party next week, which will be good. My free was quite funny, although it consisted of running around the canteen looking for my stuff which some people continued to hide, lol, but the time did go quite quickly. In theatre studies we had to watch Romeo and Juliet, I realised what a depressing concept it is, and now I really dislike that play, unless I suppose its done in the Vicotrian era (i.e. with a happy ending, which kind of takes away the point). Also it means that I have to cook raisin bread tonight cos we are going to have a picnic tomorrow when we go to stratford upon avon tomorrow to watch R + J, which is really irritating, as I have just realised that I do not like the play. Had a driving lesson from two till three, which went really well, i did emergency stops! lol, and have now started manoevers (that's spelt wrong). However, it sounds exciting, I lugged a whole ream of lined paper home with me today as I am clearing out my locker. Got the bus home (soz I didn't say bye Joyce, you seemed engrossed in your conversation), and came home. Ooh yesterday, bought Ally McBeal season two! It's really brill, although I have already watched too much, lol. Err, still don't ask me about Nick, at the moment I am keeping with forgetting being the best policy, but try forgetting about the last three years of you life; you'll find it pretty damn impossible, so I may have to re-think my policy. Ooh, and everyone who knows pete (my driving instructor) who told him that I was feeling left out as we didnt have risque conversations? Well to make up for it he told me two dodgy jokes, lol, one was really rubbish, and the other was quite funny, in a kind of you didn't expect the ending. No, I'm not repeating them, I don't like saying rude words! lol. Atm I am feeling okay, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes crap, actually just really happy until I see, hear or think of Nick, lol, at least I know the cause of my misery. Anyway, raisin bread is calling to me, if people are lucky I might make two batches and bring one in tomorrow, but I wouldn't count on it, lol. Have fun, see everyone tomorrow!

Well today was okay, the day started really badly, but had six frees today, and actually had fun in my frees this morning thanks to various people who cheered me up. Didnt really do anything else though, suffering from lack of activity. Got home, didn't do much, played "everybody's talkin'" on the guitar, with my mum on base and us both singing, it was so funny (its the only song i can play and my mum hasnt played base for like a year). lol, read some magazine, which was depressingly chirpy and assumed everyones biggest problem was how to wear a white dress and look good in it, the answer, if your fat you just can't, lol. Anyway... am vaguely moody now through lack of entertainment, but not too bad. Hope everyone else ish aving more fun, lol.

14th May?

2006-05-15T12:17:00.000-07:00

Well, I've had a really rubbish day today. Went to bed too late last night, so woke up really tired (which was the main problem), and with a cold and a sore throat. Had frees first thing, and just sat there and ate all my lunch, didn't do anything in English, then had frees five and six which I also did very little in. Lunch; I did nothing in really, apart from chatting to Beth and Andrena and James, which still wasn't the most energy consuming thing. Towards the end of lunch Nick came in (he was on study leave, but had to come in for french), and well, yeah, anyway, had re last thing which i could hardly pay attention to. Afterwards we had a desk study meeting which was useless, then met up with stu and alex and emma t and tom for hot chocolate, then went home. However, feel really lethargic as I have eaten a massive amount, not gone for a run for seemingly ages, and have nothing to do in my life. Just generally bored for a general description, I can see why people resort to bad habits, just to change monotony. Anyway, am leaving now, so that I can sleep and hopefully come into school tomorrow, although all I have to do is critical thinking as I have six frees. Oh, the one enjoyable thing I did today was sign up for a school leavers hoodie, mine will say ; "SAR: STATIONERY LOVE, its a Colemans thing. Lol. Anyway, hope everyone has had a better day than me, and hope that tomorrow is better, if you see me in the canteen tomorrow then smile, lol, I just need to laugh, I haven't laughed for ages, and I need a side-splitting giggle. Oh, and I should apologise to Stu, a few blogs ago I made him sound really dodgy, lol, although he was kind of, but not as much as I made out, oh, and Joyce is still a hunk, lol. Oh, another goos thing; Nick isn't going to the leaver's dinner, so I don't have to get a new dress! lol, it all works in my crazy mind.

14th May

2006-05-14T07:53:00.000-07:00

This weekend hasn't really been special. Saturday, had an average day at Colemans, it went really fast, as I had to do a variety of exciting jobs. After work we all went to Watkins' and saw everyone, it was okay, not the most fun we've ever had- alex left about 9 and came back at bout eleven, Nick was quite quiet; silent, a lot of the conversation was made up of pranks we could play with a certain secretary and eggs, which thrilling as it was, carried a repetetive feeling to it, lol, surprisingly. Stayed over at Watkins' and left early this morning (well, for the ten past ten bus). Came home, and haven't really done anything, lol, its as fun as it sounds. Haven't done any work, and I really need to, but I have six frees tomorrow as various lessons have been cancelled, so I can do something then.

In general am bored with life, lol, although that might be something to do with the fact that theres not much to look forward to, bring on half-term.

11th May

2006-05-11T11:11:00.000-07:00

Its so late in the month already, I only have 8 school days until my first exam. How scary is that? Again, did practically nothing today, talked to Nick for the first time kind of properly on our own in registration, we asked each other what we did last evening, etc, it sounds silly, but it makes it so much easier just talking to him normally, as though there is a possibility we might end up friends, lol. Didn't really do anything in lessons, had a test in RE which I spent my free revising for, so i hope i did ok, but i dont think i evaluated enough.

In school news, we found out who all the senior people were, lol, thrilled about head girl, lol, and not really going to comment, as anything i say could be taken the wrong way, lol. I bought some voile after school and put it on my window, so I can now have it open ( I say can, i mean have to, as there is no way of closing the window unless i remove some of the tape i put it up there with (was going to do it with velcro stuff but couldn't be bothered to walk to oundle and back just to buy velcro)) so thats brill, as the bugs and more importantly, daddy long legs wont get in.

Did the stupidest thing, watched Holleyoaks after the Simpsons, and all the stories were really depressing; some babysitters killed a baby and some drunk girl was thrown out of her house, there were also two people that decided to run away as they were in love, but one was married, how depressing is that; does nothing ever happy happen on tv?

Atm I am procrastinating from doing my english genre studies, which i really don't want to do, but nevertheless I will begin shortly. Overall, had an okay day, ooh, had last debate club ever, it was fun, and i'll miss it, kind of, lol. Never mind.

joyce the hunk

2006-05-10T11:11:00.000-07:00

Like the title i have to tell everyone that Joyce is a hunk, he wanted to be mentioned... as a hunk, I told him I would oblige, anybody else want a mention?

Not much has happened today, did that stupid uni que test although i was late, as the bus broke down. It would not have been that annoying, but the reason that it broke down was becuase it hadn't been filled with petrol the night before, becuase the guy had forgotten. We had to sit for forty minutes waiting for a van to come with the petrol in it. It was tedious and frustrating, so I ended up getting to school and five past nine.

Anyway, apart from that mishap, the test lasted until break, then had re then went to Alex's garden for wednesday afternoon, before going home on the bus. Went for milkshakes with my sister, and then home. The weather has been completely gorgeous, but apart from that the day has been kind of crap, haven't really spoken to anyone, and haven't had registration, well we havem, but i missed it. And the more people smile the more frustrated i become, i sware im going mad, well, not actually mad, but alot more crazy than usual. I need to go out, I was going to arrange dancing on saturday, but i dont even feel like going out on saturday (i go out every saturday usually, and cannot remeber the last time i stayed in on one). Can someone arrange something and make me come? thanks, lol, or not as the case may be, lol, soz i'm not very perky today, i'll try again tomorrow.

9th May

2006-05-09T08:59:00.000-07:00

As usual, nothing much has happened. Had quite a boring day today, oh, have to mention stu yesterday, (promised him I would) yesterday, he not only dreamed about me naked, then tiend a plastic bag around my neck - it was painful (kind of). Ooh, something else that happened yesterday; I bit a bit of my tongue off, it was quite small but it bled loads, and was really painful.

Today, however, I did very little, a test in RE, read during critical thinking, and didn't do much during my free. Haggis invented the laughing game; if you laugh then he sleeps with you, if you don't then he jumps off a tall building. I'm not sure that there are any winners in that game! lol. Ddidn't do anything in theatre studies or lunch except laugh (I'd like to point out here that I did not join in the laughing game so it didn't matter that I laughed, lol). Then came home, and am procrastinating so that I don't have to write an English essay. lol, well thats about all for now - lol, don't ask about anything to do with Nick - you don't want to know the answer, all I can say is that I am working on my feelings, and they definitely need working on!

7th May

2006-05-07T04:22:00.000-07:00

Well, we went to Alex's birthday meal - a thrilling affair. Lol, it was very nice - we went to Prezzos, and although Claire couldn't make it (a long story which no one would really get anything out of), everyone else could (I say everyone, there were only eight of us there). Anyway, we laughed, and ate, and drank, and generally had a good time. Highlights of the evening would be Jules telling us that they nearly lost louise in London (lou is Jules' sister), and after a long conversation (that I did not really take much part in), it was decided by a mixture of tom and mark (alex's boyf), that there would be no guy in Jack Hunt that I would consider going out with (there is a long list of credentials, apparently the fact that I don't want any piercings or tatoos make a big difference...? Anyway, after that we went briefly to the Drapers Arms and then to Alex's. Then after more talk we went home. A good evening, although it did finish rather early, although as I had to leave at twenty past midnight anyway, I didn't mind it not lasting a long time.

Saturday = Colemans, Leanne was in, and so we did no work but had a lot of fun, until about three o'clock, when I suddenly just wanted to sleep, I have never felt that dreadful at work, even when I haven't gone to bed until three, I don't know why I was soo tired, but I was and it hurt. lol. Don't really have any thrilling stories to tell, apart from a man proposing to whisk me oof to Beans in the near future (I might add that the man is in his late forties at least, and was the musical director of the pantomime that I did, and so knows me quite well - it doesn't make it quite so exciting!)

Saturday evening everyone was busy apart from me watkins and alex (well, nick wasn't very busy, but said that it didn't sound very good, and he'd be better off working). So we went to Watkins house and talked really, until half eleven, when I was half asleep, went back to Alex's and I must have been asleep by Midnight.

This morning, woke up, eventually left to get the ten past eleven, and met my mum while I was walking to the Bus station going to church, lol, which was nice, nearly joined her, but decided I should realy work ,as it is only two weeks and two days until my first exam. Anyway... here I am now.

Extra bits; I have started reading Wild Swans (Tom made me a library card, and got out the book for me!), its really brill, and I am trying not to just read it, but do other things as well, such as work (although at the moment I am procrastinating quite well). Oh, and I am not over Nick at all, but stuck between two planes, either people talk about him all the time and make jokes about us, and I can't get him out my mind. Or, we hardly mention him at all, and then I dream about him at night(duh, opposed to during the day?), right now, I am prefering to talk about him during the day, it is less emotional. lol, so when you see me, mention him, lol, that was a joke, don't really, I'll get really annoyed! lol. Anway, until next time...

4th May

2006-05-04T09:09:00.000-07:00

Hey, again haven't done much, lol, err, although had a two hour driving lesson which was a bit of a mission as I had to re-arrange it becuase of my hair appointment (lol, i have had my hair cut!), but in the end it all got sorted out. Its way too hot at the moment, and so I am going to go and have some tea and sit out in the garden, which will be fun. Lol. Anyway... have to go now as my mum wants to use the internet, but if i come on again in the evening i might add further detail to my already lacklustre description of my day. You may be given such delicacies as what happened in house assembly, and whether brian and mip agreed with my petriburgian report, and what i had to do with nick miss calabraise and nicks french oral... itll be a ball, until then...

3rd of May

2006-05-03T12:22:00.000-07:00

Hope everyone has had fun. As ususal I haven't done much. Finished my book on the bus this morning which was brill, its called Holy Fools, and is written by the same woman that wrote chocolat, which I should read as she is an amazing authoress, lol. Started the school day with English where we finally finished Surfacing! Its exciting stuff, and now we are on to poem revision, yay. In RE we spent a whole double matching up bits of paper with questions and answers and then writing them down. Had frees for the rest of the day where Joyce mentioned that I'd started blogging again and people promised to comment (so do!). Went to Alex's for afternoon activites which was really brill cos we finally gave her the dvd that tom made her with everyone wishing her a happy birthday. Its really hysterical, lol, and I have realised that I sound really posh, like, really posh, I was surprised, but it does make sense now, when I think back to all the people who have called me posh (nearly everyone I can think of). After Alex's I went shopping, and was completely thrilled with my purchases, which shall be making their debut (john would pronounce it deebutt, lol) on Friday! which I am also looking forward to!

Haven't really done much else as I got the late bus back, but I have got lots to do, so I shall leave you with that quick update, and hope that everyone has had a day that is as good as mine.

err the 2nd of April?

2006-05-02T12:45:00.000-07:00

well haven't really been made to do anything today. I have had eight frees, well, strictly six, but then mr forsyth let us go and do research, which was deifinitely not collapsing the lesson, as too few people were there. So, I have started writing the Petriburgian article for school house, written an re essay and done more revision. It has been relatively unproductive and boring. lol.

Got home early (as I had a load of frees), not done much else, at the moment I am wondering how early I can go to bed without looking stupid, as I can't really think of anything else to do except work. Oh, guess who I saw when I was out for my run... same person I saw at Berans yesterday, I felt really silly ,even though I had no reason to, as obviously I had no idea he was going to be there etc.

Oh, and I feel really stupid, Nic= secret busted fan, and I have the Busted CD that he hasn't got (the first one, that is better than the rest), anyway, just texted him to say that I had a copy of it if he wanted it, I thought that just because of our recent mishaps it wasn't really a reason to deny someone something that they would really like. Anyway, so I texted him, only to recieve a reply to the words of "no thanks. You can have too much of good thing", how stupid do I feel? - alot, is the answer, I was only trying to be normal, and he was waxing lyrical about them in form today, so either he was lying to everyone when he said how much he liked them, or he thinks by accepting a copy of some Busted cd, he is implying something deeper. I'm really frustrated, and want to tell him so, but I can't without sounding stupider myself. I have come to the conclusion that no way can you be good friends with an ex, unless you leave so long inbetween your relationship and your friendship that you actually have no recollection of what it is like going out with them at all. As I don't think I will ever reach that point, I feel that I may have to just stop trying to be nice to Nick and give him up for being dead (not literally, just in a friend kind of way).

Anyway, not much else has happened, ooh, apart from the fact that I knew I had to get the ten past three bus on thursday but couldn't remember for the life of me why, it took me half an hour before I realised that that is the day I am getting my hair cut, and the appointment is at four o'clock! lol. Anyway, everyone have a good evening, and try not to feel as stupid as I do!

bank holiday monday

2006-05-01T13:09:00.000-07:00

I'm procrastinating... lol. Haven't done much today (I feel I always say that). Got up and did a deskstudy (English paper), it was easy, but it hasn't been marked yet, so there was probably a whole lot stuff I missed out. Had lunch, and didn't do much in the afternoon, went for coffee with Jenny (sister), she wanted to go to Beans, so we did but guess who was working there (if you don't know then I'm not going to tell you), and well lets just put it this way... I'm not going there again, I will continue to boycott it, as I have done these last six months. Anyway, got home, wondered around, still not doing much, talked to my mother who has the interest of a thousand men at the moment (turns out shes not going out with the rugby guy, she just keeps meeting him), anyway, so listened to all her stories of unsuitable guys and why there not that brill.

Jenny has just shown me the greatest time waster in the world, add it to your hotmail, its smarterchild@hotmail.com its a robot thing, and you cna ask it question and it answers them, and although you could easily get bored with it, it is fun for the first five minutes if you like that kind of thing.

Haven't really done much else, read a bit, gone for a run, had tea, now thinking about going to bed, lol. A nice day, but not really one where much has been achieved; have six frees tomorrow, so I don't really need to work, at all. which is good, althoguh I should have done more revision this weekend, I am using the excuse that I have no suitable books on the cosmological argument, lol, well it works for me!

In general I am happy, just kind of floating along, looking forward to Friday (it'll be brill), and uni in general and wishing that exams were over, and we had all the right results... actually I was happier but now have listened to several of Nick's favourite songs, so now feeling not quite so good, but still kind of happy, downloaded the best song last night "hooked on a feeling" (did I put that in my last blog), still very excited about it though, I have wanted it for ages but have never known what it was called. Anyway, gotta go, lol, I'm just soo busy (that was sarcasm), ooh, btw, I am trying to improve on my sarcasm, it wont work, but I' mtrying to be more obvious when I am sarcastic, well I'm trying the best I can, I'll see what happens. lol.

30th April

2006-04-30T08:56:00.000-07:00

The last day of April today, this month has gone so quickly ,and now its about to be May! scary stuff. Had our last whole school assembly on friday, which i found personally quite disappointing, we sang Jerusalem, but the guy played a different accompaniament (I spelt that wrong) to usual, so it sounded weird, but we sang it afterwards with mr jenkins playing, which made it moderately better. The MP Steven Jackson came in and did an assembly on trade, afterwards there was a sixth form discussion which was fun, me and andrena had frees so we went along. He was such a typical politician, he wouldn't give you any figures you asked for (although a lot of statistics), and he contradicted himself blatantly at several different points. If I had to vote and I lived in the Peterborough constituency I would definitely not vote for him. lol, although the others are probably no better.

Didn't do much on Saturday at Colemans, it was really quiet we hardly made £850, but we pottered round doing odd jobs, did tuck shop - terrible happening - freddos have gone up to 15p!!! thats a 50% increase, can you believe it? its an outrage, and we are all shocked, the most terrible part of theis cadbury scheme is that they used to write 10p on the packets, but now that they have gone up to 15p, they have just left the packets blank, so it looks as though it is the shops fault. We all think that Cadburys will put the price down though; we used to go through six boxes of freddos a weeks, but since the price changed on a Thursday loads of people have been boycotting them, and so cadburys wont even sell two thirds of the amount that they usually do, which they would need to, to break even. Saturday evening we went to Watkins' and watched reservoir dogs, it was quite good, although also slightly disturbing, especially when the guy had his ear cut off, i thought it was really clever how the camera didn't show it straight after it had happened, cos you were waiting for it to be shown and it wasn't, if that makes sense. The sound track is quite brill too including one song that I have been trying to find for ages, argh, what was it called? "hooked on a feeling" i think - its really cool, they used it in Ally McBeal, lol.

Slept the night at Allie's and then went on the ten past ten, went home and revised a bit, before then coming back into town to have hot choclate with some people plus beth who couldn't make the previous night, it was fun. After coffee we went shopping for a bit and i realise that i really want new clothes and shoes (althoguh i would probably never wear the shoes..., anyway, so I have decided I am going clothes shopping on wednesday, perhaps, or it might just turn into shopping for a dress to wear to the leavers dinner. I wanted to wear my pink one (some might remeber it, it was the one I wore to do the sixth form revue in, and my eighteeenth birthday) but the material is quite heavy, its not really quite right, so I'll see what I can find; I also want a new skirt, so I'm sure my trip will be fun etc. Ooh, I'm gettign my haircut on Thursday as well, which I have been needing to do for ages. lol. Its all happening! lol.

Not much else has happened to me; update on Nick, I go through days of feeling he sucks and days where I still think that he's amazing (i try to focus on him sucking; obviously in the metaphorical sense of the word - why I'm not deleting that sentence is beyond me). Still can't find anyone else attractive, which is my major downfall, but I'm trying very hard, so you never know... lol, another update; everyone keeps being really rude to me, I have started to retalliate using rude words, it isn't like me, although what with that and taking bigt bites of my sandwhiches it lloks like I'm just a new person! lol. Hope everyone is well and is having a fun bank holiday weekend!!!

26th april

2006-04-26T11:35:00.000-07:00

So how cool was Alex's then? lol, it was the best tuesday night i have had in a while, i can safely say! I would mention all the people that were there, but there were way too many names, lol, and for anyone that didn't come - shame on you! lol. The highlights were probably the cakes, ratchett screwdriver and no one being sick, even though some people (not mentioning any names) had a surprising amount of absinth (is it spelt with a "y"?), anyway, luckily it finished quite early, and I got to bed about midnight and was quite awake this morning although am quite tired now. However, it has all been fun, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves, anyone feel free to send me photos, i forgot my camera, and so don't have any!

Haven't really done much , apart from realise how much i need to revise; i don't know anything that i knew last year, and i feel bad cos i'm missing a colemans art evening, but i really don't want to go, as they are a little patronising, and no one else is going either. Maybe next week. Anyway, thats about it for now, at the moment I am fine, and trying to curl my hair without any success (well a very small amount), anyway, everyone have a good night.

23rd April

2006-04-23T04:56:00.000-07:00

Quick update over what I did over my weekend.

On Saturday worked at Colemans, it was really funny, didn't really do any work, but had fun, we read interesting children's books, and we eneded up creating ways to make letters and numbers with our bodies, it sounds confusing, but it was more hysterical than anything else. In tuck shop it was really funny, Lucy said "can I help you" to one guy, who replied in an uncaring voice "if you want", it sounds funnier when you say it, opposed to when i try to type it. After work, we all all went to Tom's, apart form I got there ten mins early, so Tom's sister opened the door, and I had the surreal feeling that nobody was going to turn up apart from me. However, it was fun, and Andrena made fairy cakes; they were brill. We went to Macdonalds and then me and alex went back to Alex's which was fun, well, we just kind of talked etc.

Alex's brithday in two days, hope everyone is ready to spend a night in her garden! It will be fun, weather-wise its meant to be really warm although cloudy, but it isnt meant to rain, so fingers crossed, oh and everyone remeber to bring food and drink. lol. (Even if it does rain, there will be a gazebo, so don't let that put anyone off)

Anyway, I have to go and do English coursework and an RE essay, so everyone have a good Sunday, and see everyone at school tomorrow!

21st April

2006-04-21T08:37:00.000-07:00

Well, I am determined to write almost every day, even if it just means i end up being very boring (it can't get much worse I hear you shout; it can). Today I have been taking part in a drama thing that was filmed with a random man, it is to make an educational video, and was 'interesting' although we got to go early, so that was a bonus, the downside was that we had to miss our entire break and lunch, so i didn't get to see anyone, but nm...

Working tomorrow at Colemans and apparently there has been some scandal this week... so we have to wait and see what happens and how much we are told about tomorrow, but in a couple of weeks we are all going to do stocktaking and then go out for a meal, so I am sure we will be able to tell any tension within the group! lol.

I have been really happy all day, nothing much has really happened, but nothing bad has happened, I woke up to find that I have two more easter eggs, as my aunties had given them to my granddad who my mother had been to see yesterday (if that makes sense), so in a way I am excited, however, I had really hoped that I wasn't going to get that much chocolate this easter, and the amount I have had has just doubled, nevertheless as I am finding the impotus to run every day at the moment (well isnce sunday) I can kind of eat more without minding it.

It is Friday and so I have no work to do tonight, although a final draft of english coursework and an essay to do over the weekend, so perhaps I should begin... I am sure it will be fine if I wait!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a good weekend, and that everyone has fun over the next few days...

easter holidays

2006-04-20T07:11:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted anything for ages, and so thought I should update everyone in general. Easter was interesting. I went to the beach with Alex, tom and mark, it was really windy which was ashame cos it would have been much better otherwise, but even so, we had fun, got sand in all our sandwhiches (but less in mark's as it was prepackaged!), and we discovered hunstanton, which was also windy, but the boys played on the arcade games, managing to earn enough tickets to exchange them for two sherbert dummys, which they appeared to have fun with, so all in all it was good, filled with flick combs and fish and chips.

That was the thing that stood out mosti n the first week, then Alex went to France, where she had a wonderful time, I kind of went around met up with people, ooh, on the first Tuesday I cycled into Peterborough and back again in a day! I was really impressed and it was really sunny, so on the way there I had a wonderful time, however, I was so tired on the way back that I ended up cycling really slowly; it took me an hour and a half to cycle there and two hours to cycle back, as I got lost, in total I did about forty mile, which doesn't sound much, but I havent cycled for ages, but it was good.

Went dancing in Flares with Andrena and Alison, well, mainly Andrena as I had forgotten to warn Ali about the music, and we all foudn out when we got there that it wasn't quite her cup of tea, but it worked out well in the end, as she invited mike out, and me and andrena spent the evening dancing and trying to put off really ugly men from coming to talk to us, which was surprisingly difficult, but if you dance with your back to them they don't really have a choice, although at one point I did get several to do the hand jive...

Went and played badminton with the girls on tuesday (the one just gone), kind of a ritual thing we do every holiday, it was fun, although not quite as good for our health as we had hoped as we just went back to Alex's afterwards and ate loads of chocolate. lol.

I have been watching a lot of Ally McBeal recently, which is probably bad for me, but it is funny at times, and I am trying to watch all the episodes I have before I start doing revision so that I don't get distracted (it just means I'll get distracted about something else).

It's Alex's birthday next Tuesday, so we are all excited, something to do, lol, although apparently people are staying over in tents, so who knows what will happen on the Wednesday when they will have to get up and go to school, but if they are mad enough to try... lol.

Feeling good about Nick at the moment, it was a month yesterday since we broke up, and you'll be thrilled that I haven't been blogging or I would have included random rants about him. He is behaving slightly weirdly in a kind of not talking to me very much way, but I think that I am getting over him quite quickly. Although sadly only for the reason that I believed at the time he loved me, but in retrospect I'm not sure he did. That is just my interpretation, and might be completely wrong, however, it does make it a lot easier to deal with. lol, it also means I have a lot more time for revision after school! yay.

Slightly woried about my summer exams, and a lot about my English coursework, I have to re-work almost all the pieces and they are not brill, in fact if I get an A it will be dodgy, and I cannot afford to mess up any of my exams, but at the same time need 3 A's to get into university, ooh I should probably do the UCAS thing and tell them which uni I want to go to...

Well I'm going to go, so that I can got on with work, hope people had a fun easter

19th of March

2006-03-19T09:09:00.000-08:00

I realise that I haven't blogged for a while... I have been busy. Quite a lot has happened, we had the sixth for revue, which was fun, I did the four yorkshire men with haggis, joyce and cunliffe, which was good fun, and an extract from our A-level play with Amy, it went surprisingly well; we adapted it to the audience and did a headmistress and pupil routine, which worked well.

I have started driving again, lol, my mum is taking me out every Sunday and I am having lessons which are going very well.

Possibly the biggest news I have is that me and Nick have split up, yes, before anyone asks it is proper, i.e. we don't want to get back together, it will not be like last time; he finds me boring and annoying, I find him uncaring and inhumane, so together I guess we don't make the best couple, lol, so thats it, but we (I mean me, but probably him too) have had such a depressing couple of weeks that I think it is a bit of a relief, we haven't done one happy thing together since pancake day when we all went to Beths. It also means that we have finished the chocolate competition but I think I might continue anyway until something happens, I tend to not eat unnessecary food when I have broken up with Nick, lol; I have to make an effort for the rest of the world now. Anyway, lol, atleast we wont have to worry about the long distance relationship from uni to uni now!

Really I am writing this becuase I have way too much homework and I am trying to distract myself, but I will force myself to carry on. Anyway, have fun everybody.

23rd of Feb

2006-02-23T13:34:00.000-08:00

Hey, again it has been a while, but not very much has changed. lol. Am still plodding on at school, it hasn't been very exciting today, although we were continually teasing Mr B. about his age all drama lesson which was kind of entertaining. Our play is going amazingly well, lol, we are blocking it all, and it is very exciting.

I definitely have cancelled the craft fair now, i e-mailed the enthusiastic woman and she said she wasn't surprised that therer wasn't enough interest in it, she'd tried to do stuff before and there wasn't any interest out there. So atleast she wasn't cross. lol

Half term was good; have I amready written about that? I feel I have, but if not, it was brill, as was valentines day etc. Everybody else has seemed to have a nice time etc

Still no idea what to do for the summer yet, we'll have to get Andrena onto it, hint hint, lol, nah, I'm sure we will think of something.

At the moment I am having a small moral dilema about the play that I am doing as part of my Amateur dramatics group. The problem is that it is really rude, and I am the only girl in it, there is one woman of about sixty, and about five men of atleast forty five, balding and/or fat. The problem should not be with how they look, apart from the fact that I have to flirt with them and find them attractive on stage as part of my character. The script says I have to snog one of them (but I am refusing), and not only do all the men make lurid jokes on stage (as part of the script,) but they make them off the stage as well. I feel like some kind of sexual object and I can definitely see the appeal of being a Muslim women and wearing a hijab, so that men cannot make jokes. I find it really rude, its not as if these men are my age, they are atleast twenty seven years older. So I would really like to quit the play, but they have no one else to play my part (btw, I have to do worse things off stage with them, by the end of the play, I have slept with all of them minus one). So I will continue, but I think I am going to have a word with the director. Its all a bit dodgy, why they wanted to do that paly in the first place is beyond me.

Anyway, enough moral dilemas for now, I will try and write more often here... and keep you updated on what happens!

thursday 8th feb (I've got bored with making up titles

2006-02-08T12:27:00.000-08:00

Nearly half term! Not much happened today, I wrote to my grandma and granddad (Andrena persuaded me to), I feel I should do it more often as they really love getting letters from me, so it seems like a nice thing to do.

Nick was away today in Bristol, he had a medical interview, which he said went okay, so I guess that means it was fine. I still haven't heard from Bristol uni yet, I'm really annoyed, I just want them to reply!

I feel really bad, I had this great idea of doing a craft exhibition in Oundle, but I only had one really enthusiastic person, so I thought I would leave it, but now that person has sent me a load of photos, which she has obviously spent time doing, I feel really bad just saying that there isn't enough interest.

Theatre studies is brill at the moment, we have the best group (no offense to anyone else, I am sure your groups are brill too) and we have the best play (again no offense), and it is really exciting, poor Beth has been cutting the whole play, although she thinks we might be cutting out the character reversal thing that we were going to do, which means everyone will have to be happy with the character they get, although that is not the biggest problem, as all the characters are great, and you can really play up to them, and it means we can do more on costume.

Thought the ball on Saturday was okay, the music was awful, me and Nick left forty five minutes early, he suggested it, but I followed readily. The food was much better though, and obviously as usual everyone looked great etc.

I am going life drawing tomorrow and am really excited, lol, I haven't done any art for ages, went into Colemans today where me, Lucy and Katie work (told you that I'd mention you somewhere!), and bought characoal, lol, and some cartridge paper! Its going to be fun.

Tom has begun to teach me A-level maths, I now know what a modulus is, and an argument (in the mathematical sense), which is more exciting than it should be.

I really want to do something humerous for the sixth form revue, like the lumberjack song last year, but am lacking the energy, but if anyone else has any good ideas and needs someone to join in I am here (as long as you don't need much talent, lol, or any musical talent!) other than that, I think I might make myself available bnack stage, there was a really helpful guy that sat at the front with microphones last year, lol, so I am hoping to fulfill his role!

I am generally happy and well, half term is on its way, and all the girls are getting together on Saturday! (although in a way that is bad, because now, the last time I can see Nick before he goes on holiday is the Fridau, but he is only away for three days) and then Valentines Day, lol, and a drama rehearsal (obviously the pinacle of the holiday!)

Oh, everyone who wants to know when we will be taking pictures for the year book; it will be on the Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes in the common room, me and Nick Haste will be taking them, so make sure you have good hair, or you'll be remembered for having rubbish hair (lol, exciting creative writing, with a variety of adjectives!)

Don't think anything else happened today... oh apart from it was Haggis' birthday, so to celebrate him and Joycee blew up condoms... over their heads, which was humerous, although was also quite frightening as they made a really big noise when they popped. lol, i think that is everything that has happened of any interest. lol.

i know its been a while...

2006-01-31T09:40:00.000-08:00

It has been ages since I have blogged, but I haven't really had anything to say. My exams have gone, well, English re-sit was fair (I guess, it might have been rubbish). I just got my l-nat score 18, i think it was out of 30, but the average is 16.9, so I guess that it is better than average! lol.

We have just got our theatre studies group sorted, we have the most brill group, and we are doing something that we like, unlike the Glass Menagerie, which I'm sure is great if you like that sort of thing, but if you don't then it seems as though it would be really boring.

Nick has done the sweetest thing, he was going to be away for valentines day, with his family in Wales, but he is getting the train back instead, so that he can be with me. Isn't that the sweetest thing, although I think he is using it as a plot to have the house to himself for a couple of days before his family get home!

I promised I would mention Joycee, lol, da dah, he seems to have an obsession with my scarf (along with everyone else) at the moment, the blue and green one with a hole through the middle.

All the girls are going to have a girly evening in a couple of weeks time (i say all, i mean five of us), alex wanted it this saturday, but me and beth declined as there was the ball to go to instead (apparently she forgot!)

Anyway, all is fun and good in the world, and I am off to Leeds tomorrow for an open day, although it means that I wont have seen Nick for three days (well, after school), but I'm sure it will be fun (Leeds I mean), I am going with my mother, which means that we can leave late, as we don't have to be there till one, and so I can have a lie in! Yay!

helloo

2006-01-10T15:41:00.000-08:00

Hey, I haven't blogged for a while, I know, but I have been busy revising, well, kind of. Not really done much at all, thats really why I haven't blogged, but have various things to tell;

My pantomime is being performed at the end of the month tickets cost £4.50, and can be brought through me, there is a group of ppl coming (hopefully), it is performed in oundle, if you are interested say something

I am orgainising a craft fair for the easter holidays, if you are interested in a) being in it, or b) coming down to have a look, then again talk to me and I will give you the details, if you know anyone (preferably adult) who is crafty and is interested, please tell me also

I now really like Frank Turner, random guy that was introduced on the Zane Lowe show, I'm not really into music, but the song was really good, so I googled him, and listened to some other stuff and he's brill, lol, he's the lead singer of Million dead, if that means anything to anyone, but this stuff is really mellow, and cool, I like the song that you cant download from myspace best, "cassanova's..." something, anyway, check it out, lol.

Don't think I have any more messages atm, lol, but am doing fine etc, looking forward to the ball! and exams!

dooby doo

2006-01-02T09:05:00.000-08:00

Feel much better today! lol, don't know why I went weird, anyway, I have had a fun day, trying to do my theatre studies, although failing quite badly, I have only done 1 piece, and I needed to do three! Tidied my room, which took quite a while, and found the christmas card that I had given to Nick in a random bag, I think that secretly he didn't want it! lol, but I told him that I am going to make sure he takesi t home with him tomorrow.

At the moment I am deciding whether to go to my panoitmime rehearsal, I think I probably should, but I do have to work, and I can't quite be bothered to move form my computer screen, I know that's really lazy, but if I don't do my drama now, I never will, and then I will fail my A-level and everything will all go wrong. lol.

I'll think about it

christmas and new year and on

2006-01-01T15:49:00.000-08:00

I haven't blogged for ages... anyway, christmas was brill, I went up to Manchester to see all my family, and my family from Ireland came over too, and I haven't seen tham for many years. It was really good, and we just ate and laughed etc. I then went with friends to the Lake District, really od group we went with, but it was really good, adn we got to know each other much better etc. Got trapped in snow and ice occaisionally up there, it was quite icy, but didn't suffer any major collisions, and so we got home in one piece for new year. Went to Toms for new years, it was really nice to see everyone again, esecially the girls, as we hadn't seen each other for ages, and it was usually just the girls, as there seemed to be a weird segregation thing going on - fun - not. Anyway, I didn't stay the night at Toms but went home with Nick, and was really annoyed with him as it was our two year anniversairy and he spent all night with Watkins, but then I felt sorry for him, cos the group always go on at him for spending too much time with me at group things, and then I complain when he doesn't spend time with me. But, five hours after midnight he said new year to me, and that was that, we went home at about half four/five, and I didn't wake up properly till two-ish. My mother picked me up, but didn't let me drive home, and then I came home, ate tea, watched Chicago, and haven't done much else. Invited Nick to Oundle on Tuesday and that was about it... err, yeah...
Atm, I am feeling surprisingly stressed, I get stressed by anything and everything, and at the moment am feeling really irritated and unbalanced and am just generally unhappy, but with no reason at all, and no idea why I am, perhaps it is because it is late...? I'm going to bed, lol.

dooby doo...

2005-12-04T08:11:00.000-08:00

lol, just thought I should let everybody know what i have been doing lately. lol. I got into cardiff on three A's no surprises, but it is slightly annoying, apparently Joey's (MD of colemans) nephew has just finished doing law there, and she says it he really enjoyed it. Yesterday Nick took me out to Ask for a meal, we have been trying to go for ages, but things just kept coming up, and so we eventually went last night, it was very nice, the food was good, and equally there were humerous groups on each side of us for me to laugh at!

Had to get up early today as we had a drama rehearsal for Loves Labours Lost, some of the main characters didn't turn up, so i got to read lots of people's parts, lol, which was fun, I hope if anyone becomes ill I can take over their part, lol, I sware I am the person who knows the most (obviously apart form those who actually have a part!). Went back to Nick's afterwards, and we had pizza for lunch (ooh) and then I left to go home and do homework, which I am trying to put off atm!

I am very happy just in general, and am very contented, am looking forward to the week, we have to social and chris' and late night opening Thursday night in Oundle (we have to hand out panto leaflets), it's all very exciting. Oooh, and Jules has an Oxford interview Mon tues and wed, so if you read this Jules, good luck!

Over and Out

hay ho

2005-11-27T12:07:00.000-08:00

just wanted to tell everyone what a fab weekend I had, well mostly. I didn't get an interview at Oxford, yes, 85% of applicants that apply get an interview, and I was one of the 15%, how embarrasing, but on the good side, that was the only terrible thing that happened to me all weeekend, and now I can go to Leicester on the 7th of Decmber instead (a university more at my "real" level). Anyway... had fun on Saturday at Colemans, although Lucy wasn't there as she was in the Peak district, but we had Debbie and she's really nice, so the day went by quickly, we did all our jobs and chatted. At last the ladies know that I am back with Nick, I didn't know how to tell them, but I had to ask for Sunday off so that I could go to the theatre with him! So, after work, went home, found out about Oxford, and then went to Nick's (mum drove!), and realised I had left the tickets at my house, told Nick, he rang the theatre and it turned out that it started at seven anyway, not seven thirty, so his mum gave us a lift. We were just in time, we had gone to see the Jungle Book, and unfortunately, the mean age of the audience was seven. I was in a really bad mood due to Oxford, and so I wasn't really in the mood to laugh along with many small children, and the first half passed without revelation. Anyway, then in the opening of the second half Nick jumped two inches out of his chair when the "baddie" came on, it was so funny, it was so obvious where he was coming on from and at what time, even I didn't jump! I haven never laughed so much, and after that the rest of the performance was humerous. The songs were the best, they kept repeating a single line in each one, and the tunes were really mournful, with obvious rhymes, apart form the last song (talk about saving the best till last!), which was just fantastic (suddenly). Anyway, it finished, and it was really cold, so Nick's mum came nad picked us up. We went back to Nick's had take away pizza and watched family guy and American Dad! lol, We had no rehearsal in the mornign as Mr B. is also in the Peak District so we did not do much all afternoon and then went Christmas shopping after lunch. A perfect day.

Came home, cooked dinner for the family, we ate, mum bought jaffa cakes as a special treat (we don't have biscuits in the house), and Andrena has come up with a brill idea of a Christmas holiday! It's all good!

...

2005-11-25T10:19:00.000-08:00

I'm not particularly happy atm. I've had a few nice days, yesterday went and did salsa again, which was fun, next wekk I move up to the beginner group (atm I am in some "I don't know anything about salsa group"), which is a lot more exciting than it sounds. Spent the night at Nick's, as I was going to be up to go to the RE trip early today. Woke at six, and left his house, unintentionally waking everybody in the house up on my way out. Walked to Tom's and from there went to school. We went to the RE trip. on the way there I read random book that a year twelve recommended to me, it was surprising and unnecessarily rude, but had nothing else to read lol. RE lecture was good, we had two speakers, one, Peter Vardy was really good and the other one was really mediocre, lol, but the last talk he did on the problem of evil (one of my favourite topics), was really good, and he ended it very well, lol, so that was all fun. On the coach on the way back texted Nick to ask what time he owld be going to panto, but apparently he doesn't want see me beofrehand, as he has to have dinner (my mum says that I am being to sensitive, as he does have to eat) but he didn't seem that bothered, and so we might see each other today or not, the fact that he is sitting in a hall somewhere half a mile form where I live is obviously beside the point totally. Anyway, a mixture of Tom and stupid book I am reading has made me really paranoid, and am slowly cracking up, am going to turn up to rehearsal that I don't have to attend, and ask whether we can talk, can't do it tomorrow as we are going to the theatre to see the jungle book (my 18th birthday present), I'm so cross with everything atm, I wish I didn't hae to play games with peoplel, and that they could just say how they felt. I think this is also partly to do with the fact that I haven't eaten for a while and am over-tired. Frustratingly, still love him though, ironic!

on fire, (joke relating to being burnt) lol

2005-11-21T11:10:00.000-08:00

Haven't been online for ages, well, not long enough to blog, anyway.
On Friday I burnt myself with the iron! I now have a massive scar scab thing about four inches up from my wrist, and looks like I have started mutilating myself - I have not! Went to Lucy's party on Friday night, really good. Lol, me and Nick were talking about how we prob spend too much time together, and so for the first half of the night I was determined to stay out of his way, lol, and so I had fun and danced etc, and then saw him for the last hour and a half or so, lol, it worked very well, and was a really good party - she has loads of talented musicians who are her friends (Nick got massive blisters on his fingers!). Went to work on Saturday, duidn't do mcuh, apart from all our thousands of jobs that we now have to do since our appraisals, i weighed out a few sweets, and did bits of everything, lol. In the evening went to Nicks, to find him dipping his fingers in vinegar (apparently it makes them stronger), watched half of the house of flying daggers, then had pizza, then watched the other half, lol, then went to bed, its a really long film, lol.
Anyway, Sunday, woke up early, dragged ourselves out of bed to get to school for 9:30 so that we could go to a loves labours rehearsal in the DW, it was actually really fun, I love people that do drama, they're so funny. Went back to Nick's afterwards, and then got the ten past three home. Didn't do mcuh in the evening apart from watch the pilot episodes of Ally McBeal, and do a bit of homework, oh and watched Notting Hill, its so funny, Hugh Grant is wonderful! lol
Monday, got up, late as I was tired from having watched Notting Hill, then once I had got ready mum offered to give us a lift as Jenny has buggered her knee up. So we (jenny) was lectured in the car all the way to school, but it meant that we diodn't have to stand in the freezing cold waiting for the bus! yay!. Got to school, didn't do much, it was really terrible though, p.2. I got off, so went ot the canteen, and Nick was there, I didn't see him (as I am blind), and he didnt say! "hi" as he thought that I was ignoring him, why would I ignore him? anyway, after that terribleness, had a really nice rest of the day, and went for coffee and cake, which was very nice, although Nick did steal the last bit of my iced bun! lol, and I declared I would never marry him, as he would just steal my food all the time! lol. Anyway, came home via the bus, with Katie M, her brother and Sando, so it was just really funny. Got home, ate tea, watched the Simpsons, and then went online. I am just about to go to panto rehearsals in a few mins, and so am debating whether to get changed or go in my school uniform, lol. Its all fun.

dum de dum

2005-11-14T11:09:00.000-08:00

wow, my titles are getting worse and worse. Anyway, to day I have had fun, although have been quite tired as I stupidly stayed up to watch Lord Of the Rings last night, even though I have already seen it. So today, was tired, but we still got to the bus on plenty of time, got to school (late), and had frees first thing, did my English homework, but couldn't print it off as all the school printers had gone weird, and none of them would work. Had Ebglish, uneventful, and then break, in theatre studies, we did a speed run of our paly and then talked for the rest of the lesson, but I really need to know my lines better, its appalling, anyway. At lunch Nick had further maths, so I went into town with Ali and Polly, but got back to school right at the end of lunch, and didn't see him, he didn't turn up to registration and it turned out that further maths had been cancelled as Mr Pinshon (?) hadn't arrived. But, nm, so i was a little annoyed that I hadn't seen him all day, but he was at the foyer at then end of the day, so it was okay, i would normally have seen him after school but i had a theatre studies rehearsal, and so couldnt. We had our theatre rehearsal, and Mr B. said it was good, which was amazing (although we thought it was quite good too), to the last group he said they were a shambles!

We went to deep pan afterwards, lol, in true theatre studies style, and I am now stuffed, got the 6:10 back with Polly, which was a riot, lol, oh and I haven't said a word about our berets, we found these really cool hats (berets) in the drama workshop for our play, and they are really cool, so atm we are going around wearing them, they are grey and so match the school uniform, which makes it funnier. Anyway, came home, and am now writing this, and about to go out to my pantomime rehearsal.

I have realised that the only bad thing about blogging at this time, is that you don't get to hear what happens in my evening, but nothing exciting happens, so its probably just as well! lol

on and on

2005-11-13T06:50:00.000-08:00

Haven't blogged for a while, haven't really been on. Not done much, a quick run down on my weekend; Friday, went to panto rehearsal after school, was fu, but I sang appallingly, but it was still fun and am making good friends with Dawn, the girl that plays Robinson Crusoe. Also, John told me about these salsa classes he goes to, they sound really good and i might join.

Saturday I spent at Colemans, we had our appraisals, we are all fine, but we don't do enough jobs, lol, the same as last year, but my wages went up, minimally, lol, so its all fun. We had a really busy day the only things I had time to do were stock sheets and customers, we made 2,200, which is pretty decent at this time of year, although we needed to make 3,000 to beat the week we had last year, nm. Sat eveing went home and changed and then headed to Nicks, we were going to his dads birthday thing at the greyhound track. I had spent the day umming and erring whether to get him anything, then decided on just a card (apparently a pot plant wasn't the 'thing') and then I didn't even give him a card as it seemed out of place. Anyway, walked to the dog's, its 'past' the regional, we were told, like, a mile past, lol. Anyway, and then we had dinner, and betted and had general enjoyment, Lorna (dads 'new' wife (shes not really new anymore) ) and Liam, Lorna's son were also there, and we all had fun (michael, Nick's bro was also there). Stayed there until, err, I'm actually not sure of the time, but it was quite late, went back to Nick's stayed the night. However, had to wake up really early (well kind of) as he was going to his rehearsal at 9:30, so got up after he left, spoke to his mother, nearly tidied his room, lol, and then his mother told me she was going at eleven, meaning, I thought that she meant, could I leave before then. I said that it didn't matter anyway as I was leaving at half ten, but she said that that was probably easier as she wouldn't have to give me a key and show me how to work the alarm etc, but I thought that that was really sweet, that, I don't know, she would let me stay in the house on my own, etc.

Went home Saturday morning, went ot the coffee tavern as I was in the middle of reading Northanger Abbey, but it was really loud in there, as there were loads of school kids, so in the end I went to the co-op to buy some food for tonight. I had bought potatoes form Waitrose in the morning, but htay hadn't had any decent beef, so I waited, but they didn't have any beef fillets at all, so now I'm not sure what we are doing for tea. Walked home with the rest of the shopping, got in, asked mum how Mark was (random guy that mum went out with last night), apparently wasn't brill, and had lunch, now am trying to put off my philosophy homework, again, lol. Its all fun.

hey hey

2005-11-10T13:41:00.000-08:00

I have had a good day to day, well, lol, most of it. Got mockedi n front of my English class as I was meant ot be doing this presentation on legalese, and Ms had asked me to get a bit of hansard to look at, cos tht was legalese, got a bit, read it out in my presentation, and then shes tells me its not legalese, it sounds stupid, but it was really embarrasing.

Felt really sorry for Allie today, her drama is not going well, and it brought it back to me that the performace is less than a week away, so we really worked during the lesson today and went through a large run through in the lesson, and although there were a few minor disputes, it was really good, and we went through the whole play, hopefully our good work will continue tomorrow...?

Had debate club today, it was really good, we argues about that case with the Manchester lady who wants parents to have the right to know if their children are having an abortion under the age of sixteen (i think of course they should have the right), there were quite a few people there and humerous points were mentioned thorughout, a real 'gem' of a debate! lol

After school went shopping for presents for Lucy, Jess and Nick's dad, lol, bought them, went back to Nick's, lol, and then went to Deep Pan for Lucy and Jess' meal, it was really nice, until about half-way through, when I was talking to Haggis, who said he might quit the play, I said it was a bit late for that wasnt it to which he replied "shut the fuck up, you're as bad as my fucking mother" he wasn't joking, he was being completely serious, and I have a mad hatred for people that directly sware at me (I don't mind if they sware around me), I don't sware at them and I expect them to do the same, it's the rudest thing that I can think of, and if I ever sware at someone then you will know that its actually someone else trying to impersonate me, or I am scarily cross, you will want to stay out of my way etc. Anyway, so after Haggis swore, I got really cross, ate incredibly fast (i tend to do that when I am angry) and then just sat talking to Nick and then left early, but it was really good before then, a load of people were there, and it was nice to talk to some people that I never really talk to at school. Went back to Nick's and his mum gave me a lift back becuase she is wonderful and nice, lol. Oh and NIck texted his dad to see what they were doing for his birthday and words to the effect of would he like me to join them, he said "yes of course, am glad you're back together xxx", it was just so sweet, lol, yes, i realise I am over sentimental, but it makes me happy, lol. Things between me and Nick are amazingly wonderful, lol, the world, in general, is a fine place to be in.

And remeber everybody, next weeks assembly topic is "road safety!"

Haven't done much today, quite tired, as I went to bed at half past ten last night! (late I know), as I decided to watch Ally McBeal, it may be 'trash', but thats why I love it. Seemed to be let out of all my lessons early today for various reasons. Break time wasn't so brill, I thought that me and Nick isolated ourselves quite a lot, a huge amount in fact, but there isn't much i can do now. Still dont have any information from Leeds, I am not sure whether they have given me a place or not, its nearly been a week, even if they put something as second class surely they would have got it by now? I'm getting over Manchester, lol, I talked to Mr Davies and he said it was their loss (lol! more like their genius), and moping isnt going to change anything anyway. Haven't seemed to do much, just kind of wandered through the day. I'm worried though, I know it sounds stupid, but Nicks being really nice, like, really nice, I'm scared part of me thinks that he's being nice to me because he's trying to hide his feelings that he actually doesn't think its working out, but thinks he'll leave it for a few weeks, as it seems a bit mean getting rid of me as he has only just asked me out. I know that seems silly, but you know when something is going perfectly and so you start to think that there must be a problem coming up... well thats what it seems like, I can't believe that it is like this and normal... anyway.

Stopped for a bit of a read at the Coffee Tavern on the way back, read James Herriot (an old favourite) and came home, to an empty house (thank god) Jenn's not back yet and mum has gone to her old school to collect a jewellery bench, she took John' car so that she could drive it bakc and so she has promised she is going to go out with him for dinner tonight! Not that that will give him hope or anything. Anyway, I am ready for a peaceful afternoon and evening dong nothing, all I have to do is print a sheet of paper out, which I could do period 1 tomorrow, and that is it, ha ha.

Btw, if anyone know's Mr Forsyths e-mail address home preferably, but if not school, then can you give it to me? but if poss email it, as im not sure that he'd be thrilled that him address has been posted on the internet.

Had a really mixed day today. The lessons were okay, apart from the fact that we did no work in theatre studies and we perform in a week. Lunch was quite good, just basically had fun and didn't do much else, after school went to town with Nick, bought deoderant (vital), and then went back to school to wait for him to finish a clarinet lesson, then we went for coffee at nero's, I had hot chocolate and it was the most appalling thing i had ever had, they had no cream, it was watery and the milk was off, and i cant believe i actually payed money to drink it. Thats how rubbish it was. But Nick was wonderful, I have moaned so much recently and he has been so nice, and just generally made me happy. So got on the bus really happy, went home really happy, later on went onto UCAS, not happy, i havent got in to stupid manchester, and i really wanted to go there, i havent even got an interview or anything, so i must have been way off target, and really rubbish, feel crap, and as though i am just not going to get into any university at all. really annoyed, and lets face it, i'm not going to get into anywhere anyway if i do get offers because as my mother says, i just can't expect all 'a's' cos im just not going to get them, and all my universties are based on three A's. apart from leicester which i dont want to get into anyway. I dont know why I even bothered wasting an application on Oxford, if even Manchester aren't going to accept me. I texted NIck, as I had to tell him about his email tht id cheked for him, and i told him that i didnt get in, and he didn't even say 'never mind', no sympathy at all, he who said that id definitely get into manchester, so now im irritated at him too (altho only a little, as he probably duznt realise how upset i am) and just really frustrated. I also hate the UCAS system, why dont they email you? or post something on time, I still havent got anything from leeds from the 3rd of Novemeber, and Manchester didnt even send my anythnig saying that they wer studying my application. Wow im annoyed, and wow im failing.

dum de dum

lol, haven't blogged for several days! lol, obiovusly my life is jsut so busy atm! lol, I got a conditional offer at leeds university! which is incredibly exciting, lol, well, if I can get three A's, but even so, still quite exciting. Haven't done much else, stayed at Nicks last night in the end, there was a party but couldn't get a lift there or back, but it was nice, didn't do much though. Had to leave on the eleven o'clock bus this morning as Nick is going to Southampton to see Athlete in Portsmouth tonight!

It was really terrible on Friday, my sister kept nagging me to pay for her to go for tea at the coffee tavern, but I kept refusing, and it looked terrible in front of Nick, and I looked such a cheapskate, but I didn't have any money at all, so i was really annoyed at Jenn moaning so much, especially when she had just got payed that day anyway! Mum's really annoyedwith Jenn at the moment too, as she is wearing too much make up and so mum has banned her wearing any, much to Jenny's distaste, and her tears...

I have been keeping happy though, and am now determined to become politically aware, on Saturday I purchased the Telegraph (apparently its better then the Times?) and well read it, (duh), lol, i think it will take me a long time to know the kind of knowledge necessary to be thought of as an intelligent person, but it is a start, lol.

At the moment I am doing my philosophy coursework (still), and am just about to go to our local supermarket (unfortunately the Co-op) and buy something for tea, lol, I have made a habit of cooking for my family every Sunday evening, I quite enjoy it though. We have to hava an early dinner tonight as we are going to see Toyah Wilcox, some old famous woman who my mother adores, as she is wearing a pair of my mother's earrings, a pair she made, not just a pair tht belonged to may mother! lol, ooh, also its exciting as my mother is now displaying her jewellery at a gallery in Mayfair, yes, London Mayfair! lol, she is more excited than anybody else! but it is still very exciting. Thats all the news for now!

and on... in happy bliss

2005-11-03T12:19:00.000-08:00

Had a nice day today, well mostly. At school John Bell came to talk, he is a famous Christian speaker from an Ionian community, the RE students, including myself went and heard him periods three and four, and then there was a big lecture 5 and 6. The Lecture three and four was really good; it was about miracles, and he talked about the feeding of the five thousand, and how it wasn't a miracle as that Jesus 'magic-ed' the extra food, but when the rest of the audience saw a small boy bring what he had, then they all got what they had brought as well. It was really teaching us that the miracle was not physical, but instead that the example of one small boy could change a large group of people. I have realised lately that I have been quite harsh to everyone and very to the point, easily frustrated with people and quick to judge. However, I guess I realised that i should be much gentler to everyone, and that i should be alot more generous, and to be too hasty is a shortcoming indeed, and so I am trying to stop, whether it will hold good is another matter I suppose.

When John Bell held the lecture in 5+6 I was hoping to be given some profound message as well, but I couldn't hear it very well, as almost the entire sixth form did not find the lecture necessary and so began talking among themselves! It was so rude, I just couldn't believe it, half the problem was that we had to sit on the floor so that there was enough room for everybody and so it meant that it was very uncomfortable after ten minutes, but it was just so terrible, there were people that were lying across the floor!

Apart from that I had fun, at lunch we had the first debate club for the year, which was fun, we did 'survival of the fittest, or everyone helping each other', which is the best, we discussed and it was nice to get back into it.

Had a free 7+8 and Nick had one p.8 and so we went to his early, which was nice, I left on the ten past five, and so i feel as though I have been home for ages. I had salmon for tea which was very nice, and at the moment have a large craving for a microwaveable steamed toffee pudding thing, strange i know, but they are surprisingly very nice, i would recommend one if you haven't tried one, i would expect the vast majority of people not to have tried one!

Got my Ally McBeal DVD's in the post today (bought them from e-bay), and so I got home and watched a couple of episodes of that, it was really fun, lol, I realise how rubbish it is, but still find it way too entertaining, lol.

Anyway, having fun! lol, apart from with several people still trying to persuade me that NIck and me shoudln't be going out, as if by them talking to me I'm suddenly going to turn around to NIck and say 'You know I think those people are right, we shouldn't be going out, well see you around', its not going to happen, and really, i dont want it to, so i wish they would stop trying to persuade me, by all means they should tell me there opinion, but after the first five minutes, they should just stop!

and on it goes...

2005-11-02T12:30:00.000-08:00

lol, still going out with Nick, to some peoples amazement, its all fun. Didn't do much today, had various lessons, all which i was allowed to leave early for various reasons (ill children, ill teachers etc) held a supposed meeting for year 9's from school house, none of who turned up, which i was really annoyed about, as i had spent the whole of registration asking them all to come to the meeting. Therefore, in my free I wrote a note in the bulletin declaring that every year 9 was to come to a meeting tomorrow, so that i can make them do an assembly. We are having two assemblies as we are in the common rooms, and the other one is being done by the year elevens, I wrote a really rubbish one myself, and I am going to make them read it out, if no one has made one themselves, but there are some really nice girls in that year, so they will probably do something. For Wednesday activities, went to Nicks, well its a kind of activity... didn't do much else, but went to the coffee tavern for tea, as my sis really wanted to, which was fun! well, we talked to John, who's still depressed about my mother, lol. Its all good fun for everyone! lol

heh hey

2005-11-01T12:19:00.000-08:00

Well, sorry I haven't been on in the last couple of days (well anyone who reads this continually will probably be glad as its way too long, but anyway...). Well exciting things have happened in time i have been away. Sunday night, Nick found out about Dan from Tom and texted me immediately saying that he couldn't believe I cared so little about him. I was shocked, he actually cared about me? and i texted him back telling him that, he said of course he did, and that he refused to argue over text (I'd also said some other stuff), and that was it, he said he'd see me tomorrow. So Monday (tomorrow) came, and he completely ignored me, point blank, no smile, no nothing. I was disappointed, we'd been getting on soo well. But that was it, and so I went on my normal day, he had a band practice after school with Allie, Watkins and Tom, and felt that they all disproved (as well they should) about Dan and so would be all oohey, therefore it was completely incomprehensible to me, when i got a text at 5:45, from Nick, telling me that he was really sorry he'd been oohey, but it was just because he had realised he could never go out with me ever again (in hindsight thats ironic). We texted each other for a while, and then he said if i was at home could i ring him, because it would be much quicker to talk, than to text.

Obviously I was at home, and so rang him, and we talked for a couple hours, about everything that had happened, how he couldn't believe that i had got off with some random guy, which to be fair, was my view too. Anyway, from that we went to why we had broken up in the first place, and how terrible it was, and how all he wanted to do was go back out with me, even with Dan and everything etc. So we talked about that for a while, but I had to go to the theatre, as i was going to see a play, and so had to get off the phone, so we decided to meet for coffee the next day to talk things over more.

I went to the cinema and told Katie and Lucy, they were not impressed, they thought i should wait longer, lol, probably not as long as the play went on for though. The acting was brilliant, but the script really could have been cut down, they did the best dance at the ned though, but it was quite random.

Came back, went to sleep etc, and then woke up at 6:00 again, as the bus times are different, and then got on the bus etc, got to school, had free's one and two (Nick also has those frees) and he came and sat next to me, and well, byt the end of the free we were holding hands. He left the room (I had free's three and four too) and everyone jumped on me telling me what a nutcase I was, Matt said the my 'cool', had just plumeted, etc and felt generally oohey, but was still going out wit Ncik etc, so it was ok, lol. The rest of the day passed, had a driving lesson, in which two really rude guys made faces at me at a junction, but apart from that was good. Then after school went ot town with Nick, to get a present for his brother, we ended up having coffee, and chatting (although we went to John Lewis, and their hot chocolate was not as good as i had remebered, they only gave us half a cup each), lol, and then i went home. He rang me while I was walking to home to say that he had told his mother, lol, and apart from being confused she was fine, lol, long story. So, lol, life is all exciting, apart from peoples negative opinions, they're not very exciting, at all.
