Update and whatnot

So the weather's starting to perk up now which is great! Had a few sunny days in a row and it's nice to be able to wear dresses and such again. However, with the lovely weather comes lots of new flowers and lots of cutting of lawns which, while very beautiful etc, is giving me LOADS of trouble with these damned allergies!

Still, I'm not complaining too much because it's great to have ice-free streets to walk down! Also helps a lot for driving; I had my first lesson last week and it was AWESOME. Can't wait for my next one (Friday!!)

Just had a very fun weekend in Derby... went out for the night and had lots of fun and there was drinking and dancing etc. Then I stayed up and watched WRESTLEMANIA. Was such a LADS' party - I even got told off for leaving the seat down! Haha!

Still, right now I'm seriously focusing on WORK because I have a lot to do if I want the grades I need to get into Glasgow (went to an Open Day recently and fell even more in love with it so I'm even more determined!)

Sorry for the rather boring update :p
also sorry it's been a while since I posted!

That's all my news anyway!

16/March/09

Had a great weekend, went to Glasgow for the night which is always fun. We ate out at the Ichiban and it was lovely and I had a great night's sleep despite having to be restrained and woken up when I was having a weird nightmare haha!

It's so bright and sunny today, didn't realise how much I missed the sun until just now. I've been to the park and done some work on the grass then I had a walk and came home and I might sleep for a bit as I'm quite worn out.

Stuff's a bit rubbishy at the moment. Everything's a bit confusing and there's too much going on, but just today I'm relaxing, trying to forget stuff and just trying to enjoy myself a bit.

Good plan.

8th Feb '09

Just got in from an awesome weekend away in Birmingham. Not even going to try recount the details as there are far too many and my head's a bit bleh right now, but it was great and I have about a gazillion photos which have taken me forever to put on facebook!

While I had fun, I was very cold the whole time. Like, I'm warm for the first time since Friday and it's actually made me feel dizzy. My poor knees, ankles and feet can't handle the cold, nor can they handle all the walking we did so I'm in quite a lot of pain just now :(. Combine that with the other aches and pains I had anyway from last week, and yeah, I'm a very sore little girl :(

Still, hopefully it'll be OK in time for college tomorrow, I've to start swotting seriously now that I've had my offer from Glasgow uni! I'm so pleased about that, I really hope I get the grades so from now on it's WORK WORK WORK!

Well, I say work work work... I am going to a gig on Friday, then Norwich over the weekend, then to Glasgow to see Craig next Tuesday, then a party in Derby the following weekend... but after all that, WORK WORK WORK. To be fair, I might be going out a lot but I am still working very hard and after this half term I'll not be going out much more because I'll be totally skint!

Anyway, stuff's OK at the moment. Not been able to say that for a while, but life's pretty OK right now so I'm quite happy:D

'Mon the Hoops!

I think I may support another football team!

Obviously I'm still ETERNALLY faithful to my beloved Man Utd but watching the Old Firm match today, I found myself desperately willing Celtic to boot Rangers' arses in that way that I only normally do when it's Man Utd vs. Liverpool/City/Chelsea/Arsenal.

Too much time with Craig? Too much time up in Jockland? Pff, who knows, at least he'll be in a good mood for a bit now which is always a plus since they did win. Away aswell, which is rare. :p

on a similar note, after 3 days of bloody rediculous arguements we're cool again now (I beliiiiieve) so everything's good over here :D

Got a mountain of college work to do and a more literal mountain of stuff to unpack (seriously, boxes piled really high over here) and, unfortunately, mum's determined that I throw away a load of stuff... including all my paintings which I'm REALLY sad about because I love them and some of them took me months and month to do. However, as they CONSTANTLY remind me, this is THEIR house and as such we follow THEIR rules.

They're also sick of me using their cards even though I always give them the cash straight away for whatever I'm ordering. As such I need to get myself a bank account ASAP and get hold of a cash card, a credit card and a cheque book! Then I'll be sorted and all will be good. (In fact, if I have a credit card I won't have a cash card aswell will I? Oh I dunno.) Tis a bit of a pain trying to sort that on top of everything else but at least I won't have to keep my cash in a glass on the shelf anymore.

well, time to go tidy up, hopefully all this moving stuff about etc. should help me burn off some of the calories I put on over Christmas so I can look good again in time for New Year (haha, 4 days? How hopeful I am!). I shall atleast try to look good for next month anyway :)

Ciao!

Birthday, Scotland... general catch up!

I'M 18! haha
well, now that that's out of the way... 

Had my party last weekend (though it feels like AGES ago now) and it went well :)

Craig came down all the way from Glasgoooow and loads of my family and that were there and me, Craig, Becky and Joel all went out at night time. Was hardly a big night out and I didn't even get drunk (or even tipsy) but it was awesome non-the-less.

I wore a rather cool outfit that consisted of a PINK corset, black lacey skirt thing and a HUUUGE bow on my bum that was all black and pink lace etc. Was nicer than it sounds. There were also about 450 balloons all heliumed up and we let them all go at the end of the party (there's a video of that that I need to get off my auntie) and yeah, it was just good all 'round really.

Got SOME pics but most are at my Auntie's place so I'll try get those ASAP. In the meanwhile:


^Me pulling a pint for my dad (LEGALLY!)


^Cake and huuuuge balloons. Those balloons are still in my room though somewhat deflated. In fact they are like flat on the ceiling and looking a bit wrinkled.


^In the hotel we stayed in. Craig likes this photo and it kinda shows off the outfit a bit so I thought I'd post it :D


^looking very pink in one of Manchester's bestest gay bars.


^ Still in Churchill's. Had to give Craig his Christmas present early as he BLED all over his jacket, thus the awesome hoodie :D (it was a nose bleed btw, I didn't stab him)


^Not an excellent photo but we actually had a good time in the Kebab place so I thought the photo should really be added. I rang Mikey at like midnight for no real reason and threw some rubbish accross the room but it was alright, went well really :)


The next day I went into tourist mode and took Craig, on a tram, to Old Trafford for a tour haha. I felt a little silly tbh but he loved it so was more than worthwhile. I found out later that it would have been FREE with the season tickets but I never knew that so we had to pay. Still, was good. (And he said he'd take me to Celtic Park so y'know, worth it :D)

Not so many interesting photos as there wasn't actually a match on but here's Strettie End and Sir Matt Busby, just because.:



So yeah, that was my awesome birthday weekend.



THIS WEEKEND...
I went up to Scotland (as you do) at bloody 6:30am on Saturday (had been awake since 7am Friday might I add) and as such I ended up in bed by about 6:30pm haha. Still, had a good day. We mainly mootched around the house and did computer stuff (such as me stealing all of his music :D) before I passed out. Apparently I was saying 'Craig, how many raisens do we have?' in my sleep. How silly of me.

Spent Sunday being lazy for most of the day and then in a surprise move, Craig's mum and step dad took us out for a meal! It was very nice and I had loads of fun. Apparently I'm very English for having Yorkshire puddings and Gravey on my Carvery but shush, I AM English. We watched Saw II (we watched Saw last time I was there) and I screamed and was generally a big Jessy. For some reason we watched Saw III last night ... I never learn my lesson do I.

Went shopping yesterday too, last of my Christmas bits aaand Lunch at Solid which was a pretty cool place to be honest.

Missed my train home today but in a true act of Christmas kindness, a man from Virgin trains changed my Transpenine Express ticket to one that I could use on the next Virgin train to Manchester for no charge or anything. He even got on the train and spoke to the train manager to make sure everything was OK and that I would get home alright. I was really sad to go and only had 10mins to say goodbye. Was trying to not cry until I'd atleast got on the train and as such never got a kiss goodbye which really upset me.

Still, got home OK in the end. Actually caught up with the train I should have been on at Preston which was odd. Got on a later train and still ended up waiting around Preston train station for the one I was supposed to catch at Glasgow haha. Still, got home eventually. Faced a huge fear of mine actually and spent about 20-30mins wandering around SALFORD, in the dark, on my own, with lots of bags and no idea where I was going. Luckily I never got stabbed and I'm quite pleased with myself (though I'm not ready to tackle Moss Side just yet).

I've had a couple of amazing weekends overall and it'll be a bit crap to go back to normal now. (Well I say normal but it's Christmas etc. now so it won't be haha).

Anyway, I'll be a big softy now and just say that both of my super fab weekends had a common factor - a certain person was with me for both. Thanks a lot hun, I'm missing you already and can't wait to see you in January :) xxx

'Now I won't lie, I'm a tad druuu-'

Ready for a long one?
It'll be good though, honestly :p

So that snow I was on about meant no school all week last week! Literally couldn't get there Monday - Thursday and Friday I was dying of flu, something that I've never had before. I thought flu was like a bad cold but NO, it was Hell, absolute Hell. Anyway, so I was basicly sweating, crying, shivering and aching constantly and simultaneously for 2 days which left no time at all for eating and last night I went out... on the piss... having not eaten... with the craziest bunch of motherfuckers around here. (OK, so the competition isn't exactly overwhelming but that's more than besides the point).

I won't write a blow by blow account or anything but we started in the Bridge Water and had quite a few halves. Enough to make me rather drunk by the time I dragged everyone (ice skating style) down to Last Orders to meet my dad anyway. There we drank much more and did kareoke. Twice. (Like a Virgin and Fairytale of New York) It was SO bad that before we started, Tommy asked my dad if he wanted to go out for a fag and he went 'no, no, I'm going to watch my lass sing' and by the end of the song he was leaving the pub all together. To go to The New Inn!! (you don't go there unless you reeeaaalllyyy have to, it's shit)

Then there was The Crown (I left my jacket in there but did make some new friends). There was also a band on, they were OK. Dad was asking me something about his phone:
'look, I'm not going dress this up, dad. I'm sorry, but I'm in no fit state to look at it right now.'
'you don't say'
'honestly!' *falls over*

When the Crown shut we went to Hiltiz where the band were awwweesooomee (they always are there) and a few great songs were played that EVERYONE knows so there was singing, dancing and general merry making (and more drinking, obviously). We stayed there until closing but, determined not to give up, we went to the Roxy. For those of you that don't know (most of you) the Roxy is, well, scummy. There's no other way to describe it but it was the only place open and we were hoping for a lock-in but the bloke we actually know was on holiday. It was 10mins from closing when we got there and I was like 'you want us to pay? For ten mins? That's 50p a fucking minute mate, you having a laugh?' and somebody overheard us and paid us in :D (not a stranger).

So now the last club in the whole town is shut and we're NOT going to Blackburn, what do we do?
We gatecrash my hairdresser's house!

'Fuck the neighbours' was our mantra as we blasted out some tuuuuuuuuuuunes and continued the partying and drinking there. We stumbled home at about 5:30am (we'd been out since 6:30!) in no fit state and I woke up this morning absolutely racking my brains to see if I did anything to be embarassed about or explain but no, I didn't :). I've spoken to my dad who was OK and my Auntie is alive and well upstairs (in bed, when I say 'well' I mean she's healthy in general, obviously she's not moving for a good few days yet) so all in all it was win. Apart from my EPIC hangover.

Oh, also, I went out with my neeww hair do which apparently went down very well.
Particularly well with *thinks* 7 lads :D
Was only chat though of course, I said I had a boyfriend (which isn't true but I am on an 'agreement' just now haha) but it was a lovely little confidence boost for me there :D (also scored drinks and dance partners so y'know, it worked out alright)



Well. THAT was long.
Nobody reads this but fuck, it'll be a nice reminder to me because when I completely sober up I don't want to forget the night :)
When I can get pics on the PC it'll be better because I remember taking over 9000.

But anyway, that's it, that's my update!

Careful What You Wish For


Well, I wanted snow and that's what I got.
HEAPS of it.

I couldn't get to college yesterday (see previous entry) and now I'm legit snowed in (not a problem I've ever had before)

Taxis aren't running so I can't get to my train! No idea if the train is even running anyway but fuuuuck.

I did consider waking my uncle up and getting him to run me,  but what if I get to Salford and can't get a bus? Or what if I can't get home later from the station because of taxis? Etc. Living over here with no ability to drive and no parents has me (and my mother) worried about being stranded today and I'm under strict instructions to stay put (overkill? Maybe.)

I rreeeaaallllly don't want college to think I'm taking the piss since I've only done 1 week and now missed two days! Dad gets here at midnight tonight so HOPEFULLY this won't happen again but I needed to get in today!

I'm trying to sort out my UCAS stuff at school and yesterday was the deadline at college for that (I'm way on top of it but I need to BE THERE to sort it out. Plus I have an extra Spanish lesson today which the school have gone out of their way to organise (they don't offer Spanish). Also, I was supposed to get some bloody tickets today but now can't get to a ticket office, looks like I'm hyjacking someone's Visa!! - I'm determined to get them.

All in all I'm not pleased but my god it's beautiful out there. Virgin snow. Nobody has driven yet (nobody stupid enough) and nobody seems to have walked through it (well it is 6:30am) so it's just a gorgeous thick layer of white covering everything!

I feel bad appreciating it given I feel like I'm skiving (I hate that) but just now on the news they're telling us (Manchester, Bolton, etc.) to stay home and stay warm because the roads aren't safe. They said some schools are closed (doubt that includes mine) and that, particularly in Scotland, there are lots of houses without gas etc.

So guys, keep safe today!

I'm off to do some studying...

EDIT: I got the tickets :)
aaaaaaaand it's a bloody good job I didn't go in today! I'd have been stranded. It's just kept on snowing and snowing all day and aparently the buses in Manchester stopped running. Also found out that the train I would have been on was horribly delayed and a few subsequent ones were cancelled all together! I'm lucky that the taxi couldn't take me!

We went out the back and half-made a snow man (don't ask) and lobbed snow balls at eachother (well, I had snowballs lobbed at me) but that was my own fault as I did NAG and nag and nag my cousins to take me out and play in the snow! Was good though, it was cold and wet and I ended up on my arse a good few times but apart from that it was well cool! I'd post some photos if I could get them off the camera... We'll see if I can work it!

December

Well, what a way to start the month!

It was minus 8 this morning and there I am, up at 5:40 (like the fool I am) and at the train station by 7am only to hear 'For those passengers traveling on the 7:07 line from Darwen to Manchester Victoria, we regret to inform that this route has been cancelled as there is no driver. The 7:07 train has been cancelled. The next train is at 7:39. Sorry for any inconveniences this will cause.'

Now given I can't remember being that cold for a LONG time, there was no way I was hanging around. The 7:39 was no good to me and I think I may have DIED if I'd waited for the 8:10 so I went home only to find out that I couldn't get a taxi at 8 so I was going to miss my morning class anyway. No wwaaaay was I going to travel for an excess of 4 hours for the one hour class I had in the afternoon so I'm at home now staying nice and snug :D I rang school and they were alright about it but I did get a text at like 9am saying 'er, we're in room 35 dear, it's Chemistry, have you forgotten?' or something to that effect so I guess my message wasn't passed on haha.

It was snowing earlier, was awesome! I loved it haha! Cold, but nevermind. It's like being in a Christmas card right now!

In other news, I'm 18 in less than two weeks!!! Oh wow, how cool is that? (Almost as cool at it is outside right now, ba dum tshh)

Having problems sorting out my do but it'll all be right on the night! Also got a lovely Scottish boy coming down for it, so that's win.

College is going alright and I'm more than settled in in England (even if I am still in slight culture shock!)

Dad set off driving today so he should be here by about midnight tomorrow so that's cool, maybe I'll have a home soon! It's great at my Uncle's place but I am looking forward to having a bed... and an address!

No real news other than the above so I'll wind it up now.

I'm loving being home! Man, I missed Manchester so much. I can't wait to spend my first Christmas in like 7 years in England with all my family and that. It's brilliant! :D

Ta ta for now!

November 19th

So, I'm moving.

Was supposed to be flying tomorrow but it's Friday morning now instead, then I'll be back in the UK and I intend to stay there for a good while!

I've been here for almost 7 years now and leaving like this has really taught me who my friends are (and aren't). Not just the people I'm leaving either, It's been really difficult these last few days and I needed to talk and stuff... certainly found out who gave enough of a fuck to listen.

I've said goodbye to most people, didn't get chance to say it to some but hey ho, guess it doesn't matter anymore!

Had a couple of big nights out due to leaving, one in Benidorm and one in Javea and I dunno, they made me kind of glad I wasn't sticking around to be honest. I won't elaborate, there's little point. Hell, my real mates don't want to know, why would random LJers? Eeexactly.

My head's all over the place at the moment, I think I'll feel better when I'm all packed and moved over and can concentrate on other stuff.

So anyway, enough 'woe is me', I planned to stay up late and finish packing etc. today but there's no real hurry, I'll just be sure to get up super early and get it all done and dusted tomorrow ready for Friday. That way I can go and grab some Zs in a few mins.

It will be strange to leave this place. Being an expat has always been part of my identity. Like since being 11 I've been 'Jade Who Lives in Spain', even to others that live here; everything we do is constantly compared to doing it in England. I think in Spanish roughly half of the time if not more than that and I convert all prices into Euros all the time and don't even realise that some people don't understand the concept of a siesta. I honestly don't even know who I am without Spain.

I think I'm scared that moving is going to make me a different person, maybe I'll be less interesting, I don't know. Living in Spain has been a bit shit a lot of the time but I also think that it's been easy to blame everything on being stuck out here. 'If I was back home I could do this, if I was back home it'd be easy to do that, etc.' While I never realised it before, I'm going to have to start owning my own problems because maybe I've been too quick to blame everything on Spain before now.

It's going a be a culture shock, definately. I have to get out of the two-kisses habbit as people just find that weird at home and I have to get used to a good number of things that I'm now not so used to!

I'm shitting myself about making friends! I've been to a few schools like but I've always known SOMEONE on my first day, even out here, so I've had someone to cling to and meet people with whereas now I I have to go and make an entirerly new set of friends. It sounds really stupid, but what if people don't like me? Seriously, I know I can be a bit of an aquired taste sometimes but I've always had my group and not really given a shit about what others think.

Oh well, I'm seeing Becky which is good and I'll hopefully go visit some far-away friends pretty soon. There are some in Norwich who may want to see me and a few in Notts. Also Gloucester and daaaawn saaff. May even go back to Scotland if I'm invited (though doubt I will be)

Will be nice to be busy though, besides... it's my birthday soon! 3 weeks tomorrow if my calculations are correct so I should get to organising that!

Just now I think I'll sleep though. Sorry for the MEGA entry, will not make a habbit of it :)


Peace Out, duuuuuuuuuudes.

Holidays Soon!

Oh wow, loads of holiday plans!

Need to jot them down to remember since I'm going ON TUESDAY!
Thought I'd jot them here so you can read about how busy and stuff I'm going to be :p

[ Itinerary ] )

What an exciting week :p
also, somewhere in those gaps I have to fit in going to Oswaldtwistle to see my Grandad and Bolton to see some other relatives, and no doubt I'll be in Blackburn a bit too.

Have underlined all the place name for pure WOW factor. I have no idea how I can afford all these train journeys! Haha




Went to a theme park today (pictures to follow)
was pretty fun actually.

Have hurt my sholder though :(

Oh what an EMO journal entry this was!

I like blogging, tis like having a diary so I'm keeping it :p
also, tis a good way to stay in touch (at least up to date) if that's what we end up doing


Felt about 1000x better this morning. It's all good.

So, What've You Learned...?

APPARENTLY I can now get well and truely slaughtered off half a bottle of JD. I found that out the hard way last night. Maybe because I lost some weight? Not sure. Tis good in terms of saving money on booze... but it's very bad in terms of talking complete bollocks and making a fool of myself on msn!!!

Also, can't take the piss out of my lightweight mates now :p

Haha. Oh well, I had to get up and do stuff earlier so didn't think about my AWFUL hangover but now I've got in and had to eat some soup with my mum whilst pretending like I didn't want to curl up in a ball and die (or be very sick. Or something)


... "I'm never drinking again!"

Saturday, already?

Woah, that was a fast week! I only realised that it was Friday night last night when someone mentioned it online (of course I reached for the Schnapps as soon as I realised :D)

So we've had some pretty awesome storms and stuff, would post pictures if I'd bothered to take any. Just take my word for it, they were mental haha, we lost our boiler though which was a bit shit as we had to buy a new one.

Still, not all bad, going on holiday one week on Tuesday!!
Got quite an intinerary actually. Wednesday - Friday is looking at unis (which could involve driving up to Glasgow which will really annoy dad, but hey, such is life haha) and also shopping (while dad's here with a credit card :D)

Then Saturday I think I'm going to the football with a lad friend of mine (Jay / Riff) which should be fun :D
Sunday I don't know, though it will be the first day at my Uncle's place so me and my Auntie will be doing something no doubt. Monday is a rather large night out in Manchester (and then staying at Mikey's house, just so he can show off to his mates because he's got 4 girls in his room, but hey... free place to stay)

If I can afford the train I may visit friends in Brum / Sheffers / Nottingham on Tuesday and Wednesday but to be honest I doubt I'll be able to afford that. Then on the Thursday... Going to Glasgow!!! (For leisure this time, not for looking at unis) Staying there until the Saturday (which includes HALLOWE'EN! Woooot, got an awsome costume though I just realised the other day that the wings aren't going to fit in my bag and I shall have to carry them like a daft fool on the train all the way up).

When I go back home on the Saturday I will have spent 8hours on a train, but a total of about 15 hours in just over a week traveling to and from Glasgow, I'm not impressed by this and have decided to move the city closer to Manchester as soon as I'm PM.

Flying back on Sunday November 2nd in time to be back at college on the 3rd when I can start catching up on all the work I missed while I was off galavanting. (By galavanting I mean almost two weeks of seeing friends, drinking too much, shopping loads and visiting Scotland for the first time ever (TWICE) where I intend to buy shortbread and eat square sausage :p.)

(no subject)

It's 9am, nobody's online and I've been up for a couple of hours tidying up etc. so now I'm bored. Thus the journal update :D

So, school's alright, have had to miss a few more days (will explain further down) but I'm doing OK keeping up considering I'm having to do half the course from home at the moment. Was going to do a load last night, but I went to bed early, woke up waaay before midnight and decided to settle down with a DVD and a bottle of Jack, which I've not done in AGES. Unfortunately it lead to a bit of drunkeness (oh shut up, I know I was at home, but even so. That's OK given I've not drunk anything in A LONG TIME)

But anyway...Rant time, I would say click at your own risk... but the cut doesn't seem to work, so yeah, sorry about that.

[bitching and moaning] )

It's not all bad though, I'm going to England in 2 weeks on Tuesday, which is pretty awesome. Then Scotland (totally typed with a Scottish accent by the way) in just less than 4 weeks :D Lots of shopping (on dad's credit card, wooop) and seeing friends etc. so should be awesome, not to mention hallowe'en, which I have sorted my costume for but I'm still not happy with it. At all. Turns out the dress I wanted to wear is faaaaar too big now. Still, I'll see if I can tweak it a little.

Right, that's it. Still don't know what uni course I'm applying for but I shall let you know when I know, and that's ALL of my news.

September 18th

Oh wow. There was a rat in school today. It was the funniest thing I have ever witnessed; we were sat in class just working (as you do) when about 20 or so 11 year-olds run out of the building past our window screaming which obviously causes us to look up in time to see the caretaker running accross the patio with a broom held above his head in both hands clearly ready to whack the bastard. He lost it.

Next thing, another 20 or so students run out of a different room (Lab2) screaming and the caretaker runs in that direction, by this time almost everyone's popping their heads out of doors and windows and you can hear a few girls screetching and wailing about how disgusting the whole situation is (etc. etc.) So José (caretaker man) comes in our classroom and takes three spare desks with the intention of turning them upside down to create a runway from Lab 2 to outside, he explained that this way the rat could only get out of the college and not into any other classrooms. We tried to explain that said rat could just climb up the desks and out but he brushed aside that possibility until it inevitably happened.

Now the whole college is aware of what's going on. All the doors are shut so the thing doesn't go back inside so those that were on the patio are now stood on picnic benches looking rather silly and whole classes are fighting for window space just to watch the Tom and Jerry style chase that's occurring with one small rodent outwitting both José and the physics teacher.

Eventually it was chased back into the 'forrest' 'round the back of school (we assume that's where it came from anyway) and José puts up wooden slabs around the gates so that the thing doesn't come back in.

It passed some time anyway. Also had a cracking debate in Spanish class (we're doing literature at the moment which I despise but am also rather good at for some reason). Anyway, the result of said debate was that although all of my arguments were valid and made sense 'You didn't even do English Lit. at GCSE so what do you know'. The Spanish teacher/Referee ruled that, actually, I was right and this other girl had done it wrong which just proves that you don't need to spend 2 years pouring over poetry books in a waste-of-time lesson in order to be able to understand, and sometimes decipher, basic symbolism. (No offense to LitFags of course)

That's all that happened today. I was high as a kite for most of it with new painkillers, but I managed to get away with people generally just thinking I was a little tired.

All frees until lunch time tomorrow which is WIN because I can start catching up on the work I missed (which I spent most of today gathering)

Can finish it all over the weekend as I've managed to arrange a nice quiet weekend in, so I should be caught up by Monday. Pfft, I don't owe anyone a night out, it's about time I had some good catching up time (not just on work but also on reading / tidying up /sleeping etc. - it's all been neglected as of late.)

So bring it on :D

Lazy Days

Laaaaazy day today.
Still though, did quite a bit of work in terms of narrowing down my university options which is a bonus.
AAAAND we've still got a full 10mins or so to win this match in (which is also a full 10mins for AaB to score aswell, just so I can LOL at a certain someone)

Have decided to dye my hair this weekend too. Or tomorrow if I can get the dye during the day, which will be good. I want to be more bleach blonde and less honey sort of colour. Possibly more black streaks too, but only possibly there. I might post some pics when I'm done. Maybe. If it looks OK.

Also, England in less than 6 weeks, which consists mainly of WIN. :D :D :D

Aaaaand that's it. Have missed 3 days of college so far and it's not even been two weeks. That is SHIT and I'm very annoyed with myself indeed so tomorrow will be spent mainly gathering missed work to catch up with over the weekend. Luckily I have a full week of 1 on 1 business studies since the other girl is away for a week (wooo) so that should help.

That's it from me

Over and out Cap'ain

General Chit Chat

So it's less than a week into term, and I'm at home on L-Gay, that's responsible haha.

I'll be back in tomorrow no doubt. Things aren't going too well at the moment but I booked my flights for my holiday to England yesterday so that's cool, got an awesome hallowe'en costume too so hopefully be taking that out in Manchestaaah (providing I can convince my lovely cousins to come with haha)

I don't know what it is about this past week or so but EVERYONE'S having a hard time, was sat on the picnic bench thing outside school/college (Whatever you want to call it) and everyone else on the bench had their heads on the table and were bitching about something or other, and about 5 or 6 of my British friends who I keep in contact with over IM etc. are going through shite too for various reasons.

I think everyone needs to lighten up and PARTY. I'm taking my mate out to get pissed this weekend to cheer her up, that should be good (not drinking myself as I'm not allowed to at the moment, but I can watch her bag for her and hopefully cheer up atleast ONE of my friends)

No real news to speak of, list of people coming to my Birthday is growing and growing which is awesome, got something to look forward to there, although having said that, the closer my birthday is; the closer exams are! Eeek. Only seems about a week since I did the last bloody lot, and these are harder. Pfft. Nevermind, not going to let it ruin my big ONE EIGHT.

That's all I've got really, just thought I'd better post something with a bit of substance to it, even if it is mainly rubbish.

point
