Well, its been another 7 months or so…so I decided that I should at least attempt to keep my lj active, even though I seem to be more addicted to facebook atm…

So another brief round up of my life…

• Went to see Watford win the playoff match in Cardiff!
• Passed my grade eight flute
• Successfully passed the first year of the music degree with a 2.1…
• But then decided that I wasn’t actually happy on the course that I was doing, so transferred to the highly similar Computer Science with Software Engineering degree…
• Visited Dublin’s fair city with cunnane, which was kool. Dublin is actually like London, but clean and with friendlier people. Its completely amazing there, and I would highly recommend it. There is actually a hell of a lot to do, and I think we managed most of it, cunnane has a more complete diary of what we did… but we did manage to do the guinness factory, jameson distillery and see riverdance amongst other things…!
• Spent my summer on the m&s customer service desk, being shouted at by all the unhappy customers
• Had to scrap another car, the poor gold sierra is no more…I am now driving a dirty dirty citroen diesel!
• Tried to catch up with as many ppl as possible over the summer
• Came back to uni, where I am living with 2 ppl from the music degree, and 3 of one of their corridormates…confusing, but it seems to be working, and so far so good!
• Have plastered my room in posters and pictures, to cover up the beige flowery wallpaper, and am slowly getting used to having a shower in the kitchen…( I kid you not, you walk into the kitchen, and theres a door directly in front of you, that looks like its just a cupboard or a pantry or something, then you open it, and it reveals itself to be the worlds smallest shower!!)
• Started new course, met loads of new ppl, and think im on my way to becoming a geek…there are some seriously stereotypical geeks on the course, but a surprisingly large amount of normal people as well, so that’s all good!
• Went to see Imogen Heap and the Goo Goo Dolls, both of which were amazing, but seriously, the GGD were completely and utterly awesome. I was on a complete high for the next week, seriously, it was the best concert ive ever been to, they are amazing live and really seem to enjoy performing. Completely awesome.
• Have had a Halloween party at our house, which was most fun!
• Am also learning to cook for myself, which atm is still ok because it’s a new experience, give it another couple of weeks and im sure il be sick to death of it, but its nice to be able to cook what I want, when I want!!
• Have been to the Cube (union club) dressed as a cowgirl…we got some very strange looks on our way up to uni, partially because tom was dressed as a Mexican, complete with sombrero (see pics)!!

Hope that everyone else is good, and that 2nd year isn’t too hard for you all…

xxxxxxxxxxx

Me and 3 of my housemates dressed as cowboys/cowgirls/Mexicans… from L-R, Charli, Me, Tom and Jon

Ok…so, its been a while since I last updated…*calculates* 7 months to be exact…and I decided that as a) it had been a while (talk about an understatement there) and b) I’ve done a quite a few things since, I probably should… so here we have it, an update! Well, to briefly summarise, in the last 7 months I have:
- Scrapped my first car *sob* my poor Peugeot (aka simon) is no more!

- Passed my A levels well enough to get into the uni I wanted (Southampton)

- Found out where I was going to be living, the week before I was due to arrive at said uni… I’m currently living in Connaught hall which is a 20 minute walk away from campus (which is fine) and catered (which is SO much better than I thought it was going to be...sometimes the food is even edible!! On the plus side, its good having breakfast and dinner ready for you when you go to the canteen…on the very much down side, my last loan instalment was £500 short of the accommodation fees, and breakfast ends at 9.30!! 9.30!!! I’m a student for gods sake, I’m meant to sleep all day and then party all night!)

- Did a LOT of drinking in freshers fortnight (altho that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone…) and went to numerous fancy dress things, back to school night, a fancy dress night, then all dressed up posh to go to the freshers ball!

- Was living with 6 guys and 3 girls…but then one of the girls moved out, so I now live in a 7 guy, 2 girl corridor…and the other girl is called sarah…its interesting to say the least!! But on the up side, we never get confused, shes 4’11” and tiny…whereas im clearly not that small!! Also, I can now deal with farting, burping, scratching, general guy things, without batting an eyelid!

- Had many 3am fire alarms, which are a complete pain in the ass. The fire alarm sounds like an air raid siren, so you wake up with it screaming in your ear, pull on ur coat and shoes and then stumble into the corridor completely disorientataed. Dave was so out of it one night, that he came out without shoes on. This was 3 am, in november and we were out there for 20 minutes. His feet actually went blue! The thing I don’t understand is the fact that everytime we have one of these fire alarms which scare the living crap out of u, three people manage to sleep through them!! Its very impressive, and leads to room invasions by the ones whove been standing outside…again shown in the pics!

- Had cunnane down for a visit, which was kool, I thought id be a good host and take her to what was the second worst club in britain…its now the first…so all is good! Its completely manky, its underground…but drinks are ridiculously cheap. And I mean ridiculously. On a Monday, its £1 for a snakebite, and £2 for a quad vod. Now that’s value for money!!

- Have learnt to play new drinking games, such as “Ibble Dibble”, the results of which can be seen in the pictures…

- Went to see peter andre, actually, that’s a lie, I was forced to go see him. Jaks was full of girls, all of them wanting to see him!! Scary.

- Uhh had all the usual lectures, classes, seminars and music lessons…one of my modules was in Jazz and Pop, and was just so so good, it was actually amazing. It probably sounds kinda dossy to most people on so called ‘real’ courses…but it was actually a helluva lotta work. I had to learn the title, artist, year of composition, genre and the album it was from for 264 pieces of music…try listening to free jazz, it will make you want to gouge out your eardrums with a broken toothpick…after that, hiphop, heavy metal, and other stuff hard on the ears becomes as easy listening as…*searches mind* the spice girls? Theyr certainly not heavy!

- Then it was christmas (so I skipped a little…sue me, and il get a law friend to defend me!) when it was majorly kool to see everyone again, either in the pub, at harpoonys or at other random events! I found being home at christmas quite weird, as it felt like id never left home and uni was just some kind of crazy dream! I also found that when I went home for the first time since id been at uni that it was really weird, like I was a guest in my own home!! Now it just feels normal.

- Then it was back to uni, and pretty much straight into exams…it was then that I realised that I really should have done some listening during semester 1, and because I hadn't, I had 400 tracks of music to learn in a week. That was fun, let me tell you!! Although, that said, I did get 2:1s in all my first semester modules, and did ridiculously well in the Jazz and Pop, and AMR (antiques music roadshow…yes, they are trying to be both clever and funny, and failing miserably at both!) the two which I had to learn most tracks for, so in conclusion boys and girls, CRAMMING WORKS! And I shall stand by that.

- Then was the start of semester 2, and I discovered that all my modules are crap, and that I have a crazy crazy lady teaching me AMR 2 (yup, the second part of the antiques music roadshow…) who in the last lecture was trying to convince us all that her board pen was in fact a glass of water… shes insane, and also more than a little scary. Although, that said, David owen norris (or DON), keeps telling us weird and wonderful facts, like the fact that goldfish cant appreciate music…or that schumann was in love with brahms, who was in love with schumanns wife, who was in love with schumann. Guh, its all crazy!

- Have also sorted my house, and am not going to be living with any of my current flatmates…which is actually quite weird, coz I get on with them all really really well! But its jst the way things have panned out I guess, so next year I shall be living with becca and joe (two ppl on my course) and then 3 of beccas housemates, all of whom were out on the night we went out for my bday..but more of that later! So we are now going to be moving in to a rather lovely house in portswood! It’s within walking distance of morrisons, uni, portswood highstreet, and most importantly jesters!

I have to now tell you all that reading all your LJs, a) before I came to uni and b) now im at uni both helps and then doesn’t. they all really helped before I came, because everyone posted such positive entries and sounded like they were having such an amazing time that I was annoyed that I was still at home and couldn’t be at uni!! I also love reading them all now and finding out what everyones been up to and how theyr doing. They also make me look forward to being able to see everyone at easter, I don’t know about anyone else, but ive found this term quite a lot harder in terms of being away, both from home and from friends, so its good to read ppls lj entries.

That said, I’d like to thank everyone who remembered and then sent texts on my bday, anna, ben, elliott, debbie, ariene, esme, kate, pippa, becca, hughsie, you all rock, and id like to thank ariene, rob, esme and hughsie for their cards which were all awesome : ) also thanks to cunnane, coxy, dan, matt and neha who made the trek down/across for my birthday weekend, twas most kool to see you, and again I must apologise for the night we went out... As you may have gathered from nehas lj, I was a tad worse for wear when we went out for my bday…apparently I had a good night…apparently I also turned 19 in a bin, and not only was it a bin, but it was in the girls toilets!! Neha came in and found me sitting there!! Lol I guess its something to tell the grandchildren!! Lol im still so embarrassed…and also kinda worried coz I cant actually remember anything at all. One of the people im living with next year had to bring me home, and he was kinda wasted too, and between us we have no idea of how we got into connaught (you need two codes, and then a key to actually get into the corridor) lol ah well, apparently it was a good night, and I think everyone had a good time!! Coxy, thanks for looking after a) cunnane once shed fallen flat on her face down the steps outside the cube, b) me, once Id managed to get home and passed out! Cunnane and Matt, thanks for letting me rob your hard drives, and for sorting food the next day when I was far too hungover to be doing anything! Dan and Neha, thanks for letting me steal your wine when we were playing drinking games!!! So that was my rather eventful night of my birthday, but hey, everyone ive spoken to and apologised to since (it’s a horrifyingly large number of people!) tells me that its fine and that I was allowed to be wasted. So I was. And how… I havnt drunk anything alcoholic since!!! (ps, don’t we all look sober in the pictures…)Lol, also, thank you to Becca and Joe who came over and celebrated my "second birthday" on the 6th, because they hadnt been feeling well over the weekend, so that was kool!

Dan, im sorry, I have ur card and present, but cant actually afford the stamps to send either of them *looks ashamed* but I shall give them to you at easter!! Emma, im sorry im not gonna be at home this weekend for your bday, but I hope you have an awesome night, and get completely wasted (apparently its like the law or something!!) Oh yeah, I also havnt replied to the email going around about dates to be home, but I am home on the 25th of march, and then back to uni on the 23rd of april, or something around those dates…

So, I hope that everyone is well, and im most looking forward to seeing everyone at easter!!!

Love and pictures

xxxxxxxxxxx

My birthday, at this point, im pretty much sober...

After a little more to drink...

A little more still...

Trashed? Us? Naaaah!

Ok, this one is up on the union website...

Me, Becca and Joe, my music friends, and two of the people im moving in with next year.

Simon is one of the people who sleeps through the fire alarm...so we decided to invade his room and wake him up by singing happy birthday! for some strange reason, we took pictures as well...

Back to school night

Fancy Dress night, with most of my corridor out

The results of Ibble Dibble...interesting huh?

Freshers ball

Freshers Ball again, with most of the corridor, from L-R, Paul, me, nicki (who moved out), dave, and dan on the top row, and then charlie and little sarah on the front row.

To give you an idea of Sarahs size. Im standing normally, Nickis bending down, and Sarah is on tip toes, and in heels...

Probably the people i get on best with on my corridor, Sarah, Dan and Simon.

and finally, my whole corridor, yeah, almost the same picture as before...but with chris (top right) and simon (bottom right) mysteriously added on...

love to all

hey,

big problem about the beach trip, as in i dont have a car. my car completely and utterly failed its MOT, the garage called and told me that it was "beyond all economical repair". to sum it up, the brakes are screwed (brakes? what brakes?) the handbrake is screwd, the suspension is dead, oh and the windscreen wipers are broken, just to top it all off.

basically, it would cost loads and take up loads of my dads time, coz 2 fix the problem, the petrol tank would have 2 come out, and thats never pretty. so my poor little peugeot 205 is headed for that scrap heap in the sky :(

so i'm most afraid that i wont be able to give lifts to the beach, as i dont think my parents will bother getting me another car as ill be going to uni next year. so all is not good.

hope things are better with the rest of you

Duran Duran....

2005-05-29T16:45:26Z

I have only a few things to say:

* Simon Le Bon is the man, i will not hear anything said against him, and when he is in that hat....oooh yes... not just anyone can pull off a hat, forgetting words and tripping over and still be oh so cool.

* Duran Duran put everything into their performances, songs like ordinary world were so emotion filled it was really moving

* The reflex is THE song. i could have left after that had been played and still been happy. although not as happy as i was having seen it all, it was so so good.

* Duran Duran are amazing. no more needs to be said really!

Basically, duran duran rock, i love them, i love their songs and i love simon le bon!

merci to my fellow duran duraners, cunnane and kate, it took a while getting there and back with the *ahem* small detours, but i feel it was well worth a 360 mile round trip!!! special mention 2 coxy, who was there in spirit, and also over the phone for the reflex, flex flex flex flex flex...

Well after a month and a half away, I decided that I should probably update…yeah I thought that wld excite u all…lol

So, what is new in my life I hear you cry? Well, I guess the main thing is that I have had my birthday, and am now old and past it! Have 2 say thanx to every1 who came to my party and said happy birthday and such, I had a great time, n I hope you all did too! Have many amusing pictures, and also a video of the infamous milkshake dance…which makes for hilarious viewing…even my parents were amused by it…worried, but amused at the same time!

Hmm what else has happend….ah yeah RND. Well I looked like a moron as ne1 who saw me will know. Theres a reason pjs are only worn at night wen theres no1 else around, they really rnt the most flattering of clothes!! The dance was hilarious, so congrats 2 every1 involved!!

Dans bday on sat, rolling harvest went most smoothly I feel. And the pimp van was jst hilarious!! Listening 2 grease and drinkin beer. It truly is the way to travel!! Then wnt 2 matts n did cake n singage 2 dan, which was most kool. So dan, I hope u had a gr8 bday!

Then nicoles party, which was very kool. Went 2 the moon n had my 1st ever pitcher! Which was fun, we randomly met dom, scott, phil and harry in there as well. Then back at the party, the most hilarious thing was jess and matt (I think it was) breaking the radiator!!! Ah the hilarity!

Hmm wat else have I done? Umm passed my theory test, competed in the watford festival twice (soon 2 b 3 times) umm o yeah, went 2 Southampton on an open day, and fell in love with it. It was amazing, and is now my 1st choice 4 sure. Sussex the week b4 was a disappointment, the music department seemed dead and most of the teachers were boring. We did a really fun class tho, composing music 4 a film scene using logic software, and that saved the day because that was really really kool, logic is the most amazingly clever program. But even the lesson couldn’t save sussex, am currently feeling that im headed 2wards Southampton in september, and as they are asking for 3 Bs, I feel that it is possible!

Umm took a guitar exam yday..deep joy that was…lol, have done work (altho not as much as I should, am currently going to fail P3, so need to do some SERIOUS work, so im looking forward to that about as much as I would sawing all my limbs off with a rusty spoon) have been 2 work (and got paid!! *dances*) have only had 2 listen 2 twinkle twinkle twice 2day (so far so good…) and have almost finished my music hwk (result!)

Felt sure I had somethin deep n meaningful 2 talk about a second ago….hmmmm *ponders* ah yeah, the weather! Tis truly amazing wat an effect the weather has on ur mood. Just seeing the sun and feeling its warmth is such a lift. I feel lighter than I have 4 weeks. Its good as I feel tons better and more ready 2 deal with all the crap that I have 2 do b4 we stand down, most namely my sodding recital. If that’s ready in time, then a miracle will truly have occurred and I will be estatic and offer many prayers 2 many music gods!

Well I feel that is all that I have 2 share with u at this current time. I hope that life is treatin u all well, and that the sunshine continues until november…

Love I send to all

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<if [...] aab,>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

hmmm wat has been happening since the rather uneggspected incident?

well I have got an offer from surrey, 2 Bs and a C, so that’s all good. went 2 an admissions day at Royal Hollway 2day, and it was really really kool. I met some really kool ppl, tlked 2 ppl from all over the country, and the best thing was, it wasn’t hard 2 tlk 2 them, 2 make conversation. I usually find it so difficult to make conversation with most ppl, let alone strangers, so I was quite impressed, and have come 2 the conclusion that I may not be a complete social reject, doomed2 spend my life rocking gently back and forth in a corner….

so I did like holloway, and now have a dilemma about what 2 put down as my choices, atm, sussex is top jst coz its got seaside!! then I have 2 pick 1 out of surrey, southampton and holloway <if I get an offer, n if I do its likely 2 b AAB, and as I have no natural ability, im not hopeful…> much hummage there.

in other good news, I am actually able 2 do some of the P3 we are doin atm….no, I hear you gasp. yes, says I, but I cheat, we did it in M1 (sort of) but hey im happy about it!! umm not much else 2 tell really, finally got round 2 bookin my theory, which is a start! so I shld really start lookin at it! if ne1 has ne CDs or something for the theory stuff which I cld borrow, I would b most gr8ful!

heh o yeah, at holloway 2day, there were 2 professors. 1 of em looked EXACTLY like alan rickman. he even spoke the same!! it was really scary!! then, for those of u who have seen team america, well you no the little evil chinese (japanese?) guy? well that’s exactly how the other professor spoke. I kid you not. I spent most of my time with him desperately tryin not 2 piss my self laughin. ahhh happy days!

hope every1 is all well and all good.

An Eggciting Experience...

2005-01-30T20:19:10Z

Well, today I had a bad eggsperience….

My brother offered to make me a boiled egg for lunch, so I accepted, as you do. A couple of minutes later he presents me with an egg, which after cutting the top off, I discover is still raw. As in the white is still clear and runny.

“hmm” thinks I, “im not eating that….what to do?” and so I think for a bit, and then turn to the fount of knowledge that is my mother.

“how can I cook this egg?” asks I, replies my mum “oh, put it in the microwave”

good plan, thinks I.

So, I head to the microwave, put the egg in for a few seconds, no more that 10, just until the runny liquid is white and boiled-egg like. Half of the egg is missing, that is egg and shell.

I take it out the microwave, walk back 2 the table and sit down. I then stick a spoon in it.

KABOOM

Egg yolk is everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. In my drink, all over me, over my brother, my mum, on my homework, on Tim’s homework, on the computer, everywhere.

So im sitting tehre, shell shocked, while my mum and brother piss themselves laughing. They all thought it was an eggshellent joke. Ah well, I guess the yolks on me…..

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep
trying
at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you
can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and
make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand. Your foot will change direction.

weird isnt it?! hope that you all are good!

good luck 2 every1 who has exams 2mra

Well a happy new year to you all, heres hoping it’s a good one…although every1 keeps tellin me that your A level year is the hardest one you’ll ever have, happy days… :s

So, last year huh? Wasn’t too bad…well from what I can remember anyway!! A few things stand out, AS results, music exams, all the good times with friends, some of the bad times with friends. All in all it was a pretty good year tho, so 2 everyone who was involved in it, thank u kindly *raises tea cup* heres to you.

I feel if this year is like last year, twill b tolerable, but I am hoping that it will b better in many ways. For one thing, its our last ½ a year left at parmiters, which is partly good, partly bad. I cant wait to get away from the place, but at the same time I dnt wana leave all my friends behind. So im hoping we can have a memorable ½ year, with few arguments and lots of good times.

Am currently most stressed out with maths. I feel I am living up to having no natural ability in the subject. Have almost brought myself and my mum to tears over my lack of abilty in integration. I wil just have to face the wrath of *drum roll* mrs beven…that scary ass maths teacher who puts on an act of niceness. Grr…

I cant belive that 2 weeks have gone so fast and we have 2 go back 2 skl 2mra.  twill not b fun, especially as pretty much every1 has exams soon, and without study leave as well. I am most shocked and disgusted by that, how am I meant 2 revise properly if I don’t have days at home in which 2 waste time in filling out internet quizzes?! Its truly shocking. Lol ah well.

Until 2moro ma cheres…

xxxxx

Ps, happy 2005 (wow the 1st time ive written it, whos willing to bet theyr gona date everything 2004 2mro!!)

Hooray for christmas eve!! Altho there is still much to do, I didn’t think id have to worry, 24hrs in a day n all that, get up at a reasonable time n then tidy room and prepare 2 move out (am sharing with becca coz Annes staying over in my room) wrap presents, all the usual christmas stuff. Was shocked and horrified when my mum told me to get up and get dressed because it was late. As in 1 o clock late. Lol oops. Ah well happy days.

Am feeling most christmassy atm, all the decorations went up this week, the christmas CD has been on repeat and presents r appearing under the tree so all is good!! Havnt really been up 2 much this week, should have done more revision, but Ive never had 2 revise 4 exams in january before so im having a lot of trouble with it! Altho no doubt my parents will sit me down and work through M2 papers with me next week which will help loads. Had a couple of ppl over the other day which was kool, much cardage was played and much blue charge (asdas kick) was drunk. Once again daniel raided my cupboard…something my mother now takes 4 granted :p went 2 emmas yday which was kool, I was absolutely knackerd tho so left reasonably early and went home 2 bed. But muchas gracias 2 emma 4 organising it.

In other exciting news, have got an offer from sussex, which is all good, its like an early christmas present! For those who care, am plannin 2 update FLTS shortly. Umm nethin else exciting? Hmm not really, all is good! Every1 seems 2 b happy (apart frm becca who was upset earlier coz of mikes mum, grrr stupid woman) but I think shes cried it all out now which is good, other than that all is gravy. It just goes to show that school is what makes every1 stressed and depressed, without it, every1 is happier and more content. ahh well, back 2 the hoovering and the wrapping!

I hope you all have a great christmas and if I don’t update/speak to you before that you have a happy new year.

Luv 2 all

W00tage and hooray for the end of term is just 5 1/2 days away!! (altho I feel that 1 of them contains a math test 4 me :’( grrr stupid mrs beven!!) And then we have a whole 2 weeks of freedom, for parties, christmas, drinking and of course the ever popular revision for retakes and A2 exams, my wont that b fun!!!

Dnt really know what ive done since my last update, so here are the main highlights:

Pippas bond party was very very kool! Every1 looked amazing and much alcohol was drunk making for a happy happy evening.

Have also finished teaching for the term, which is most joyous, no twinkle twinkle for about a month!! Thank god, I didn’t think it was possible to despise a song so much (unless its webern, who is jst a maths freak attempting to write music, horrible clashy wince inducing music at that) but twinkle twinkle has proved me wrong. Also I will be getting paid properly and reguarly after christmas coz my boss is getting his accountant to sort it, so no more bouncing checks and being underpaid! It feels really weird being at home now, I keep panicking that I should be teaching, especially as I got a call frm 1 of my students going “where are you? Im here and you’re not!” stupid loser, Im sure i told her repeatedly that it was the last lesson of the term!!

In other happy happy news, I have got an offer frm southampton!! Which is all gravy, I need 3 Bs which is hopefully manageable (even tho I dnt have ne natural ability in maths….*sob* im semi offended, more amused tho, it gives me great excuse 2 claim stupidity at maths to my parents) its really quite retarded that my grade 7 flute is worth more than my AS level chemistry (2 b fair it was an E, but that’s really not the point!)

Final deadline 4 eng coursework 2mra, thankfully mine is basically finished, jst a coupla things I need 2 change, many thanks 2 jilly for looking over it and making suggestions and changing the repetitiveness of it!! So jilly, merci bien!

yay! Christmas dinner 2moro, which will be kool I hope! Another great excuse for dressing up in posh clothes! I must remember a camera this year, ne money says I 4get tho!

Lol I have 2 say I think all the lj ppl are very kool, every1 has been walking round 2day tlking about the shotgun rules, its quite sad that we can all quote the number and section. People call shotgun, then someone else tuts before adding “you cant do that, havnt u read the rules?! In section I:4 it clearly states that….” Ah hilarity!

Well I feel that is enough 4 now, it is time 4 me 2 get up 2 date on my advent calendar I think im about 5 days behind! W00t 16 days til christmas! 5.5 days til end of skl!

Luv 2 all

well i dnt no about the rest of u, but this week suddenly seemed 2 slow down and is now taking ages 2 get 2 the weekend. i dont no y, but the atmosphere suddenly changed at skl, and not 4 the better. 2day was pretty crap really, i no a few ppl were upset n it affected everybody in the end, no1s fault, jst the way things go. i came home frm skl n couldnt say wat i was feeling, it was really strange, so i had a rant 2 dan (thanx 4 listenin dan :) ) then decided 2 have a cup of tea, and then everything got better! everything improved muchly especially when i managed 2 avoid twinkle twinkle for the 2nd week in a row at guitar!! score!!

i feel i must agree with cunnane, hope and faith are feeling much abused, they have been molested so much in the past couple of days, i think there must b something in the water...

i wld now like 2 take this oppurtunity 2 mention elliott, who is feeling neglected on every1s LJs, and also miles, who is not feeling so neglected seeing as this is like his 4th mention! good times.

UCAS application has finally been processed, haynes finally finished his part of my reference, its only taken him about a week after every1 else, grr stupid man! kitch was randomly tlkin bout porn in our form period on tues, nt wanting 2 go there really, it was quite disturbing, considerin it went on for over 1/2 the lesson! ah well. we now have a new form tutor, dr dirty. he seems quite kool, so all shld b well.

nethin new in ne1 else's life? hope every1 is good

much luv 2 all

greeterings

have seriously overloaded on maths, but really i mean y do i need 2 no how 2 integrate sinx or 2sinxcosx? wen will i ever use it again? basic differentiation and integration are used in mechanics, but u neva need 2 integrate trig functions. gah, i think we should revolt against pure maths, jst coz it blows in all shapes, forms, and trig functions.

gave my parents a heart attack at the weekend....i tidied and hoovered my room. they almost died of shock when i found the floor and still walk in and gasp theatrically as they point at the floor and go "carpet!!" tis gettin a little old now...

went 2 the craft fair on sat, was very crafty. went 2 see father christmas though, got 2 sit on his knee (which is highly illegal, coz children can claim that father christmas did stuff 2 them :S) gettin 2 sit on the knee is 1 of the advantages of being the daughter of father christmas! went out in the evenin which was most gravy. didnt do that much on sun, tutored fractions, drove 2 hatfield 2 pick tim up an then went 2 a concert in the eve which was kl.

so taht was my weekend...spent most of yday eve doin hwk n then watchin tv. spooks seriously owned last night, mentions of thunderbirds, lord of the rings, totm, and then a 1/2 naked adam...what more could you possibly want? heh good times.

is it skl fotos 2mro? and is it the final date 4 christmas dinner money? hmm i shld really b more organised and make more time 4 things (ie flute practise, my teacher nos wen i havnt practiced and makes me woof lots in teh lesson :( which is nicht sehr gut!)

hope every1 is all gd, gd luck 2 coxy 4 2moro, n then 2 anna 4 weneva her audition is. has ne1 gt ne new offers?

luv u all

Hey hey ppl,

Had an okish week, skl was sklish, dnt really remember much of it, o yeah we had a fire drill. That was fun. Altho it was a lot betta than the last 1 coz we didn’t get shouted at! Lifesaving completely and utterly sucked on Tuesday, I jst came home and cried coz I was so frustrated. Basically they were down by about 3 teachers, and jackies husband had jst died, so they asked me 2 teach and I cldnt really say no in the circumstances. Neway, three groups joined 2getha so there was about 20 of em. Theory was ok, u jst tell em wat 2 do n leave em 2 play with the mannequins coz they actually enjoy tryin 2 crush them. The fun started wen they got in the water, the other teacher (who is so unbelievably incompetent) cldnt handle the boys so she gave me the group of boys and kept the girls 4 herself. Let me tell u, yr 10 n 11 guys suck so much. If they no u frm skl or wateva, they dnt respect u and dnt do wat u ask. It was so bloody frustrating! ARGH!!!

Neway, that was then. Woke up the nxt day feelin completely crap coz tim decided 2 give me his flu bug thing that kept him off 4 3 days and he was ill over the wkend 2, heres thinking its because women can deal with pain n suffering better… Ah well, least I got 2 watch batman the movie (the old 1 with gr8 quotes such as “somedays you just can’t get rid of a bomb…” and “holy heartbreak batman” ahh good times” and star wars ep 1 and shrek 2. So yeah yesterday was productive. 2day I actually did stuff, I backed up all my files coz I think my computers dying and I did an english essay b4 goin 2 work. Im most impresed, not only did my least co-operative pupil not turn up (it ment I had 2 sit around 4 an hour, but I can cope with that) but there was no twinkle twinkle. At all. So all was good and dandy!!

In other news, have successfully dodged rdg, so that’s all good. And have even started working on other things. So it is all going most well.

Random question 4 all those who want 2 answer: if you could change 1 thing in ur past wat wld it b? this is completely disregarding the chaos theory. I found it really hard, and I couldn’t think of anything majorly useful, jst stupid lil things. I guess in some ways that’s a gd thing, coz I dnt majorly regret nethin that I did or didn’t do. So there we go.

Hope every1 is all good and feelin ok

Luv u all

Well I decided I shld update, seeing as I havnt done in a while. Not that I have nethin interesting or useful 2 say or tlk bout. Nehoo, the past couple of weeks have been pretty crap 4 most ppl, so I hope if ur 1 of those ppl ur feeling betta about stuff now.

Havnt really done much, went 2 fireworks last week, which were kl, then went back 2 cunnaneys after, highlight of the eve was def lking after drunk dan…. Although it was unbelieveably hilarious!! Seriously he was like a gay three year old, all giggly n stuff. We also played an amusing drinking game, the numbers 1, and y 20 had to be princess consuela bananahammock I don’t know!! Had 2 go home and tutor in GCSE maths early the next morning, im impressed I managed considerin how little sleep id had, altho I have 2 say, teaching maths is SO much betta than hearing twinkle twinkle…repeatedly….and terribly played.

Skl is its usual boring self, now have breed as a form tutor, so instead of being marked present all the time, im now absent all the time, I guess I shld go 2 more registrations really. Went out n celebrated on thurs avec ma famille and anne, because judge street is finally sold! And good times were had by all.

Had a flute practice n then went vollying on Friday after skl, which was ok, I wld probably have enjoyed it more if I wasn’t so knackered! I needed another cup of tea! The 1 that ms bird gave us in music had lost its effect by that time! Ach well, c’est la vie.

Vegged out in front of the tv 4 fri evening, I watched many an episode of many a good tv show (and it wasn’t CSI b4 u all assume it was, so be impressed, I haven’t actually watched CSI 4 over a month. I am shocked and disgusted with myself and hope 2 rectify the situation soon) me n cunnane went up 2 london the next day 2 go christmas present shopping. Typically they didn’t have wat we wanted, altho cunnane bought me my christmas present early, which led 2 me dancing down the street with happiness. Ah man it owns, cunnane u rock!! Its sooooooooooooooooooooooooo kool, I love it!!

Went 2 anns in the eve, which was all kool, playing guess the baby was highly amusing. Some people havnt changed (cunnane, coxy, nicole, esme and apparently I havnt either) but others its quite impossible 2 tell who they are! Stayed online late wen I got home chattin, which was most kool. Tutored again 2day, simultaneous equations this time, the easy sort. And they still didn’t understand. It shocks me how people just give up b4 giving things a real chance, I no it was just maths, but it ahppens so much in real life, cant actually think of an example, but im sure there r many.

Have done much piano practice 2day 4 my exam 2moro (which im sure will b most fun) and have helped change sum pipe on my car and change the bite point of the clutch. Have finally sent off ucas, altho I dnt think mrs franklin will have my reference ready 4 ages, but at least its done now! Just have 2 pay 4 it. Does ne1 know how much it is? And who its payable 2? (im guessin parmiters but still)

Well that was the latest update in my highly uninteresting life! Hope every1 is feeling betta if not ok.

Luv u all

Good evening all

And wat a gd evenin it is, have spent it at TGI Fridays with many many ppl, n twas most kool! Then we managed 2 screw em over by txtin this number, and we got ½ off the bill, so good times were had by all!! I also managed 2 fall down the stairs in my heels, altho I have 2 point out that Emma did too, and I wasn’t drunk seeing as id only had 2 glasses of wine n 2 get drunk on that wld jst not b acceptable! So to laura hughes, happy birthday!! To ariene, robynne and niki, happy birthday also. To any1 else whose bday it is, happy birthday to you as well!

Cant really remember wat I got up 2 4 the rest of the week, so u can tell it was all highly exciting! Ooh yeah, I went 2 the lotr day at petes house on Tuesday, which was very kool, lotr truly owns over all other films. Then I went 2 ariene n robynnes party on the weds, which was also very gravy, kate was drunk as per usual, and windin her up this eve at TGIs was most hilarious! Kate, if ur reading this, I am most sorry, and the ‘H’ word will neva b mentioned again!!

Didn’t do much during the day 2day, got up l8, did some guitar practice, then played the rotk game with ma mere, we finally managed 2 do the fields of the pelennor, it was most satisfying, a great way 2 relieve ur frustration (n that is soooooo not dirty, ur all so dirty minded!!) then I played by myself 4 a bit (n omg how wrong does that sound, its actually completely innocent, seeing as im tlkin bout the playstation!) b4 havin 2 help dad with the window of my car. Its most worrying as u cld b randomly driving along wen the window suddenly falls down, so we managed 2 separate the glass frm its runner thing after much effort involving fairy liquid and wall paper scrapers….

Lol. Ah well, that is done now. Nehoo, it distresses me gr8ly to find out that so many ppl think I am the dirtiest person that they no! that truly cuts me deep, I am the most innocent of innocent. Y am I dirty? Please enlighten me, I truly wish 2 no, answers on a postcard (or alternatively a comment) please. Thank u 4 ur time

Hmm wen nihi asked wat the 3 best n worst feelings were it got me thinking, as a) it was a gr8 distraction frm my english essay, but also more importantly b) because there are so many different feelings that can have an affect on ur 3 best feelings. For example, if ur highly amused by something, or ur feelin loved, then ur happy, which means that there r many factors contributing 2 ur “fave” mood, so surely humour, love and happiness shld b ur 3 best feelings coz they all contribute 2 the “ultimate fave” mood. Tis pondersome.

Atm, I am feeling good, yet lonely. U no its bad wen ur sister is the only person online, and shes sitting downstairs in the same house as u. heh good times. Ach well, I feel this entry has been quite long enough, n im not sure that it even all makes sense, ah well, i shall reread it 2moro wen i am more awake and more able 2 make sense of it all!

love 2 all

w00tage and hoorayage for it is indeed 1/2 term, altho that seems to be an excuse for all the teachers piling on the homework!

i also was at the concert yesterday, but unlike coxy the violin stuff was amazing, bach is the man (not brandenburg as coxy thought!) personally i like the instrumental much more than the choral stuff. singing was very kool, we got to sing the best movements in both the faure and the mcdowall, everyone was on a high afterwards so i came home and listened 2 the CD that we sang on, it is most exciting!!

today i slept in late, just because i could because i no longer have to go lifesaving! it is unbelievably good to not have to waste an hour and a half teaching people who dont want to be taught and are only tehre because their parents are making them, or because they have 2 for D of E. ugh, nehoo that is truly the end of that chapter!

have actually done something productive today, i have done much piano practice. i decided that i should after i realised that my exam is actually in about 2 weeks and there is still much learnage of the scales to be done :S ach well, hopefulyl my fingers will remember, even if my brain doesnt!

i have come to the conclusion that it is far 2 many peoples birthdays in october, i feel i am going to be broke until after christmas with the way things are going! and i dont even have work this week, altho thats kinda a good thing, coz it sounds like loads of other people are working for a lot of 1/2 term. i would also like to take this oppurtunity to point out that i do have a real job, i do not care what anyone says! :p

i hope that every1 is all gravy

ooh an update, how magical...and im not even intending it to be long, deep and/or meaningful. i might not even give a long and waffly paragraph on death either!

had a pretty good weekend, had all my dads family over on sat (26 extra ppl, the house was slightly on the full side i believe it wld b no exaggeration 2 say!) so it was a little on the mad side. entertainment was provided by tom, my 7 year old cousin, who threw a massive massive tantrum. was most hilarious to watch, especially when he started kicking the car before chucking stones at his dad. hes such a brat its unreal, it really doesnt suprise me that hes been expelled from his 1st primary skl, causing rae and stephen 2 fork out 4 a private skl. not that its doin ne gd frm the looks of things!

in other news, my car arrived!! its very exciting!! its a white G reg peugout 205, n its very kool! needs a bit of work, but my dad can hopefully do that. also managed 2 do a deal with tim where he sed that if i did his dishwasher, hed clean it, inside and out. i dnt think he acutally realised how dirty it is...white cars r bad 4 that i guess!! ach well.

dnt really remember much about skl, i think i was in yesterday...as u can tell it was a day filled with wonder, one that i will never forget...hmmm o yeah, i was in. my flute teacher told me off because i didnt woof enough during the week, and my diaphragm is weak, WEAK! she scares me, she really does. she asked me if she made me nervous, i think she was suprised wen i sed she did. lol good times, hopefully she wont ask me to woof anymore... she also made me jump up and down. i kid you not. and i thought the woofing was humiliating.

gah i have far 2 much energy considerin its like 11 at night on a tuesday. thats wat lifesaving does 4 me, it wakes me up and means i cant sleep 4 ages. ah well, least my driving lessons been put back an hour frm 9 until 10, w00t, lie in!! heh the little things that give me so much pleasure.
and how bad did that sound....o dear...heh o well all u dirty ppl wld take it badly neway (yes that means dan, coxy, scott, cunnane...most ppl actually, uve all corrupted me!!)

oh for the days wen i was innocent...nah not really, i think it wld b boring now. however, i discovered that it is possible 2 not think bout something for almost a year, then wen u find sumthin that reminds u of it, its like it happened yesterday, u can recall sights, sounds, smells,, people. its strange how clearly u can remember it, and how the thoughts are triggered by something so small and seemingly insignificant. quite scary how ur brain can store all these things and then not recallt hem until a memory is triggerd.

gah, how hard is it 2 find 1 picture on the internet...cunnane, im getting a strange sense of deja vu...thank god 4 being able 2 screen capture it!!! *ahem* yes i do have a life, thanks awfully 4 asking!! also on the loser side of things, y does every1 have 2 have 1 fatal flaw?! u find sum1 u think is perfect, then u find sumthin out bout them which jst makes u go gack! or mayb thats jst me..and other ppl who share my thoughts...u no who u r!! altho, i have jst had a cunning plan, there are "people" out there who are perfect...*sigh*...mmmmm

well i think thats quite long enough, i shld relaly be getting ready to go 2 bed, or packing my skl stuff (like u wanted 2 no that) so until next time mon amis.

Ahh god love pop ups. They get stranger and stranger don’t they. Just had one that said this:

Life here on Earth is temporary, and you have a choice: you can either choose to repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life, or you can face the consequences of your sins, which is death.
The decision is yours.

So, I can not repent and die, or repent and die anyway. Good times, not sure which ill choose, im sure it will take some deep and concentrated thinking. Don’t get me wrong, im fine with religion and ppl who choose 2 believe in it, but people who tell me that im going 2 burn in hell 4 my sins jst really piss me off. Religion is a way of life 4 some ppl, but if ppl arnt interested and don’t believe, there is nothing, short of a miracle (literally) that will change their minds, so they shouldn’t try to force the issue.
I read a quote sumware, on bash I think. It was: I don’t mind god, its his followers I dislike. In some cases true.

I dnt no wat I believe, im more leaning towards the fact that there is most definitly not a god, but if I like the thought of us all being in a sims game, then mayb the geek controlling us all is “a god” and I do belive, but im thinking not. Science has provided far 2 many answers 2 all the “questions” and disproved far 2 many of the statements in the bible for me 2 believe. I think the religion I most empathise with is hinduism, as I like its ideals and its rules of life. Rather random but thre we go.

Im findin skl annoyin atm, coz ppl r still getting really stressed over the smallest of things. I feel I cant say, do or think what I want in case it offends ppl. Wheres the point in that? It shldnt have 2 b like that, so why is it? Free country, we call all talk to and do what we like, when we like. Theres no point stressing over the small things, save it for the bigger and more important things in life. I think one of the most important things is 2 b happy, and at the moment I dnt think many ppl are. I no im not completely happy. Partly coz skl is crap, but also for what I sed earlier on in the paragraph. Another quote that I found was:

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It's means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

Its true. Lets b honest here, most of our lives r pretty gd, we have friends and family, people who love us, enough food to eat, a roof over our heads. We are not in fear for our lives, or at risk of starvation. Some people would kill for what we have, just to experience it for one day. I think we jst need 2 keep things in perspective.

Life is what you make of it.
