Hang me out to dry

It's 8:15am and i'm yawning. This is not a good start to the day and my break is at the latest possible time at 10:30, I hope I finish at 16:30 still! It's fineeee, i'm really thirsty though. I think i'm going to do some research for places to stay in Dublin, after all, I have actually booked a flight now so there's no going back. Jane sent me a text yesterday with "You better get on your flight I don't want to be stranded on my birthday!" Hahah, I would imagine that would be fairly amusing after a few hours of upset. Jane don't fear! I will get on the flight!

Dave sent me a text last night and something ridic like 1am and I was asleep. It took me about 10 minutes to manage to text back a readable message. I was trying to write words but they were coming out all wrong, I was delirious. I managed it in the end though, hurrah!

I can hear the TV, we have it on a radio channel and when the stupid UK Online lady comes in she'll probably tell us to turn it down. Oh well, she's probably right. Also it's the Jazz channel I probably wouldn't midn it being put on mute. We have Sky+ now so we have many channels, although yesterday we found out that there is over 700 channels but all of them are shit and there was absolutely diddly nothing to watch. Managed to fit a bit of scrubs in at 16:30 though which I won't get to do today because I finish at 16:30, woo!

I feel I must give shout out to my one and only admirer Emma. Sup girl?! I haven't particularly written anything funny in todays blog but it's not over yet so you never know. Hope work is treating you well today girl. Mucho love!

My one and only fairy princess is back next week and we'll be celebrating with a drink or two no doubt! I can't wait to see her, I have missed her so much! Many hugs and laughs shall be had. I need to find out exactly when she is back though, she returned to Paris t'other day and this will be her final call in Europe on her extravaganza! she says next week sometime, so who knows?

I feel so much better today, just keep telling myself i'm not a horrible idiot and there was no way around it except to be honest. I hate feelings, they confuse me. why isn't anything ever straight forward!? That is so irritating. I need a lovely boy/man to sweep me off my feet and make me feel special again, any takers? No? Darn.

Riiiight. I'm off.

Pull the blindfold down, so your eyes can't see

I'm feeling like a bit of a dick but i'm sure that will pass. I don't think i've ever made anyone really upset before, it's possibly the worst feeling ever in the world.

I booked flight to Dublin yesterday in a drunken state but Jane and I will be off on the 15th Nov and do some celebrating for her birthday and I will possibly/probably be off to meet Nevhead. (Note to self: Get Jane a birthday card/present!) Going to Turkey on 24th Sept I think, that will be wicked. More sun! Holiday holiday holiday. Before all that it is Reading! Awesome.

Gahhhhhhhh I feel like going outside and shouting really loud. This will not happen as I am in bed wearing only a pair of pants. Sexy? Thought so. My life in so uninteresting right now I have literally nothing to report. Later.

Anything? Nothing.

I had the day off today and I have been so bored! I did some washing and hung it on the line, cleared the kitchen and watched eyes wide shut. Damn that film is ridiculously stupid. Guy is trying to get me to watch Battlestar Gallactica, is he having a laugh? I think so. No way on this earth am I ever setting my eyes on it. He will not pull me in to his nerdy world! :P

We got some more stuff out in the open today and it ws good too talk. The weekend will be wonderful i'm quite sure of it. Just have to make sure he's not making me do too much nerdy stuff, haha.

I've been watching too much friends, i'm quite sure there isn't any episodes I haven't seen. I'm finding it hard to think of things to say but I thought i'd better write something since I haven't in the last 3 days. Hope Dave's having a nice time in France with his pa, sister and robs!

Okay i'm stuck, goodbye.

So long, so long

baa da ba ba badadaaa! Yeah enough of that song. But it seriously is so long until friday! Booo. I may have friday off which means I can go and meet guy a little after he gets home from work which will be ace. I think we're going to the cinema on saturday to fuel my Harry Potter obsession. Hurrah!
My Mum spoke to me in the car yesterday and told me that she has seen such a difference in me the last couple of months. I haven't seen it myself it has been so subconscious. She says all her friends say i'm a lot more happy :s I wasn't aware of any un-happiness before. I guess it really was the right thing to do, it's funny how you feel at the time and thing things are never going to get better! I am very happy right now and everything is amazingggg. Whoop!

Harry Potter book is actually amazing. I am on like Chapter 12 and I can't put it down! (Except for like right now..) Myke almost spoiled it for me today but i'm not sure it was the truth! Although I found out about what happens in fight club mistakenly. I've been trying to finish watching that for about 5 days now and now it's all been not worth it! Gah!

Short blog today I am busy talking to a certain someone and have to go do some sort of pasta/salad thing for my Mother in about 20 mins.

Oh my, sugar pie

So an eventful 3 days.

Thursday I went to London to meet Jack and Lauren, got chatted up by a random shelter person. He was uggers and highly creepy. Waited for about 30 minutes for Lauren as jack was getting t-shirt printing tings. Got some uber yum vanilla smoothie and some strawberry sherberts from Marks and Spencer to pass the time. We all went back to St Albans on the train, we step off the train into rain and Lauren shouts "Oh fuck off!" (At the rain) and a really old posh guy turns around and gives the biggest look of disaproval I have ever seen. I had to laugh, he then said "Kids these days.." We went to Verulamium, Jack went to work and Lauren and I sat with our spotty cups and drank vast amounts of alcohol. Then Emily Pickett (..lick it, roll it, flick it..) joined us and we had such a fun time in the park hanging from trees, taking photos, being silly. Emily comes out with "Ooh the park ranger is really hot, he can trim my hedge anytime!" I think I love her.

We then walked into town and Hannah met up with us, I'm quite sure she is actually the tiniest lady ever. She is a lovely tiny lady though, heh. We were all going to get the bus to hatfield but then Jack came to the rescue and picked us up. We went back to his house for short while so he could eat his dinner and get changed then we picked up chaelyn and tried to not get arrested on the way to the party with 5 people in the car. We had to squish Hannah down in the car so she couldn't be seen, there was a police officer looking shady trying to look over whilst driving side by side. Anyway, we did not get arrested and made it to Dan's in one piece. Walked in to RX Bandits playing (not literally, I probably would have fainted with excitement) and it was a pretty good welcome. Saw loads of good people including Dan, Dave, Mike, Adam, Joe Friel, Zoe, Alex, Joe Meade + more. Dan did some live acousticness and so did Mike and Sean Hahaha. It was proper jokes innit, yeah. Didn't go to sleep the whole night except for 7am until about 11am. Before all this I looked in all the rooms to see who was sleeping where and open a door to what was a bathroom and saw some random wasps on the floor. I then sort of followed the trail up with my eyes and there was about 20 wasps flying around the window. I freaked the hell out and shut the door. Told Dan as a matter of urgency and he sort of mumbled "Whaaat?" and then went back to sleep, haha. Then when he wakes up he came into the room and said "Does anyone know why there is a bunch of dead wasps in my bathroom?" Hahaha. Dave and I top and tailed for the actual sleeping that I did and it was surprisingly comfortable. Got a lift from Dan to St Albans Abbey station and after much kafuffle met with Lauren and we went to Watford where I bought some new Jeans, a top and some shoes. they're all wicked, of course!

Emily met up with us for a little while, then we went to The Moons for some drinks and food. Lauren was at the bar when these two guys started chatting to me. Then there is a slight silence and one of them comes out with "I had a finger up my bum on monday night" - Why do I attract these freaks?! We soon got rid of them after a bit more chatting and telling them false names. One of them had just come out of prison! Crumbs, I bet my Mother is glad i'm not bringing him home. Later at about 10.15 Jack picked Lauren up from Watford Junction station and I went on to Euston where I got the tube to Baron's Court to meet Guy. I was a bit nervous as I wasn't anywhere near as drunk enough as I had hoped to be, haha. I am quite glad of this now as it went better than I ever could have imagined. It felt pretty nice, the sort of fuzzy warm cosey bit of a relationship. Although I say relationship, there's not strictly a relationship yet/at the moment. I just think cuddles is the best thing ever in the world. My neck hurts slightly for falling asleep on him at a funny angle during a film yesterday afternoon but it was totally worth it! I'm not sure what will come out of this but I do know that firday/saturday pretty much confirmed that I do like him. I met his sister and his brother and they seemed very nice :) I hope they didn't think I was rude when I sort of stayed in bed whilst Guy went to say hello to his cousin the next morning, I looked rough! There was no way I was introducing myself like that. So amazing day, and I went home at 9pm. Ended up walking home from Cosham on the phone to Nev. I think it cost me about £20/£30 but nevermind. I enjoyed the conversation :)

Ugh, americans are ridiculously stupid. This lady didn't know what 'treble' meant. COME ON! I'm going to buy Harry Potter like a geek.

Mucho love. x

Bish bash bosh

Last day of work! Fabulous! I would go to Lauren's tonight but I just can't be bothered. I love her immensely but i'm so tired I need to go home and relax! I think I shall leave about midday tomorrow. Swoop on down to Bedford (flitwick) and do some more relaxing there, ha.

We've all had to do a pageone test today to see if we need re-training. I got 25 and a half out of 26. (A HALF?!) the first question was "what should you look out for when you're waiting for a call?" I said things like to not be talking when someone comes through and to pay attention so you know when someone is there. Idiot that I am forgot to say 'make sure you're not in wrap'. I know this! I check for this, I just forgot. Dammit perfect score. Although this means no re-training, woo!

New guy Ant keeps singing quite loudly, i'm not sure he knows that he is doing it. Caroline and I just looked at each other in a 'what is he doing?' sort of way and had a bit of a giggle haha. He seems like a nice chap though so I won't hold it against him.

I'm going to try and force lauren to come shopping with me in watford before we go out. I'm sure she won't need much force though. Hah. I'm thinking I might see what bargains I can find, who knows we might have some unexpected sun!

I felt SO tired before I had my lunch and was practically falling asleep on my desk, then on my lunch I felt alright but now i'm all tired and sleepy again :( no work or driving tomorrow means staying up as late as my eyes will let me. Might watch Fight Club too.

Aufweidersehn.

Magazine day!

Apart from the people I work with who are mostly all wicked and fun to be around, my job is rather boring. To feel better about this I have devised a tally chart. "Nice" "Dull" "Idiot" this will give me a rough estimation of exactly how many retards I am going to be talking to today. Also, the amount of calls I take per day. Should be interesting.

It's 8:30, i've taken 10 calls. Borrrrrrrrrriiinnnnnngggg. 5 nice people, 1 dull person and 4 idiots. Ratio of good calls to bad calls is not looking good.

I am SO looking forward to the weekend! Caroline is a gem and I have friday off. Going to Laurens on thursday and we're going to have a wicked time at the mansion. Be nice to see Davina and Hamish, not sure if Amy will be there and the brodem heh. I'm thinking a bit of hanging out in the paddock with the picnic blanket like last time, always fun. Then going to Watford on friday with bubs to meet Charlotte. We're having a minor double birthday celebration for Charlotte and I because I wasn't there for Charlotte's birthday and neither of those two were there for mine, so makes sense really! Well excited for Revs, 'revs rave' as Charlotte put it. Scarlett Miss Charlotte's all round! I'm sure shots will be had but last time I had corky's I felt like death the next day. I don't want that again. I'm thinking we'll go out fairly early, mayb's nandos! Oh how I miss thee. I haven't had nando's for so long. Not since Plymouth I don't think! That is so shameful! Friday night not sureeeee. There may be some form of extra excitment. I loovveee hanging out. How marvellous it is.

I have just realised I am wearing odd earrings. One is pink and one is yellow. The colours don't exactly match. I may have to put a tally by 'idiot' for my mistake.

I just had Mr. Mario on the phone. Sign anyone?



Magazine Day! - I might have to spend 35p on the TV guide simply because I must read about all soaps. (Except Emmerdale cos that's shit.) I'm a loser and i'm proud of it. Gossssippp.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! (rant)

KILL ME NOW. I have be cursed today. A bit of niceness comes my way and BAM oh no you don't! ECCLES woman I have had the pleasure of speaking to her 3 times today. Everytime she talks to me I want to cut my own arm off and smack her with it. She has the single most annoying voice i've ever heard in my entire life and I moan about her everyday but today it is especially bad because by CHANCE I have had her get through to me more than twice. I am so certain she has no friends. Nobody on Earth is able to put up with her talking to them for more than 2 minutes before their head explodes into a thousand pieces. Then Byfuckingjove ILLEGALLY PARKED CARS comes through to me. God hates me, obviously. These people phone up for the sake of it I am quite sure. "Hello there is a funeral the the bottom of my road cars have blocked someone's garage" IT'S NOT EVEN YOUR GARAGE! IT'S A FUNERAL! YOU HEARTLESS WENCH! Oh my good god. "Can I take the registration number?" "No I can't see it" Take you arse off the chair near your window and get outside and have a look! One bloke even used the excuse he was in a wheel chair. EXCELLENT! Wheel yourself there, that is actually faster than on foot. I am going to keel over. 3 minutes left. I AM EMILY! GET ME OUT OF HERE! Gah.

Edit: My last call of the day was Eccles. 4 times today. 4 times too many. The actual nail in my coffin.

Fiddlesticks

So last night was pretty awesome. I think, I hope I managed to shed some light on the situation. Who the hell knew I felt like this? Not me, that is for sure. (On a seperate note I feel now my Mum knows about this blgo I should probably cut down on swearing but I'm writing whatever I want so sorry Mother. Fuckshitbollockwankdickface.)

Back to what I started on. Isn't it great when you find someone you can talk to about everything and anything and not be stuck for stuff to say? I've only ever had that with 3 people. Jane, we seem to get on like a house on fire and we can seem to go on forever talking about everything. I also love that whenever something randomly funny happens we'll text each other even though it's nothing to do with me. For example; time when Jane was in London and Squirrel tried to get in her bag for her doughnut. Hahaha, amazing. Paul, when we first got back in touch we talked so often and we had loads in common. I think that was obviously just because I hadn't spoken to him in 10 years because now we talk a lot less. I used to be like it with Dave but then we found ourselves just talking when we had something to say. The last two days especially have been a bit crazy but last night made me quite certain that something is brewing (ew that sounds bad, but I swear it's not!). No regrets this morning, I shall have to see what the other party says...eek.

Saturday my grandparents came over for a paella, man it was good. My Mum is such an amazing cook. I hung around for a bit and then Becca picked me up and we went for a drive around portsmouth and to the Red Lion for a drink. Saw Dave and Keiran in there but didn't talk to them much, they were pretty much just leaving anyway. It was nice to spend a bit of time with my old beaker :) We had several chats about different subjects, I hope I helped her feel a bit better but I don't think anything was doing that, haha poor Becs. I came home and chatted to Guy for a bit online and then went to sleep. Woke up at the grand time of 09:30 on Sunday and we had planned to go to the seafront for a picnic but it started to pour down with rain so we went to Val and Kev's. They had just bought a Nint**do Wii. (I refuse to be a nerd) However, I played it all day. The most fun thing ever on earth i'm pretty sure. I was QUEEN at Tennis! Base ball was alright but it was really hard to hit it, Bowling was wicked too. Harry Potter game was a bit disappointing to be honest, some barn yard one was even worse. Happy feet was quite good though it was like a tabogen(sp?) ride! Awesomeeee.

Oh oh i've just seen new guys come in, I hope this means I don't have to train :( Poop. I feel a a bit bad, one of them had taken to it rather better than the other; whilst one is on the phones one is still training. He's a nervous wreck! I think he will get better though. How rude! Some guy just called me and said "I'll just go get my telephone number" and then he hangs up! Bleedin' codger.

Caio for now, amigos.

NB: Never and I mean NEVER call me and when I say "Can I take your message?" Reply with "Yes, Can I leave a message? This is starting to irritate so much i'm contemplating ripping my own head off. LISTEN and we will not have this problem. Now callers, be nice and not stupid.

Lazy Saturday

So I worked all day yesterday and thought I was going to see Harry Potter but then Myke got a massive headache so we ended up just going to The Deco. It was Andy's birthday, he was turning 30 I believe. It was a bit awkward cos he pretty much screwed Claire over and he didn't go about it in a very good way so I have some small minimal hatred towards him.
Emeline punched me yet again, I hate it when that woman is drunk! We chatted and she clearly wants to go and see Harry Potter wearing a cape and wizard hat. Hah. We had a few drinks there (Enough to get me slightly trollied) then me and Myke left to go to Maff's house. We sat in Maff's room with Ritchie and listened to some tunes before I got a taxi home. It was a good night. I came home and spoke to guy on MSN for a bit along with Paul and Neville. I'm slightly worried about losing Guy as my friend after all the kafuffle that has been going on. It has left me in mild confusion and i'm not sure what to make of it. I think mayb's i'll just let him talk to me if and when he would like to :) I'm always cool for listening.

Nev had some problems last night and I think I helped to make him feel a teeny bit better since he sounded like he was on the verge of downing some kind of alcoholic beverage. We didn't want that now, obvs. Hope he's okay today, maybe I should text him to see if he's dead or not...my phone is upstairs and I am likely to forget. Mayb's going to see Paul in a couple of weeks or next weekend not sure yet. Be nice to catch up I think.

Suppose to be going to Sainsburys with Mum to pick up a few bits but she seems to have fallen asleep on the sofa in her dressing gown so she will not ready for a good few hours. I'm the only one to be up and dressed in this house! Would you believe it? No, neither would I.

I'm sleepy.

SHUT UP



How much do I hate the stupid twat on sky in front of me at work? I have to put up with his whining all day about subjects he clearly knows nothing about. Trying to force the poor girl next to him into an argument about politics, which he succeeds in because he's so fucking annoying. I don't even know his name, I do not even care to know his name because he irritates me this much. He's going on about how he wants the government to build more mosques to show muslims that we like them and don't think they're all terrorists. Like that's going to do it! so the poor girl is saying she doesn't think that is necessarily the right thing to do so he asks her if she would vote for the BNP. Oh. Fucking. Dear. I've had enough of him wearing sun glasses INSIDE THE BUILDING and getting in the lift with about 7 other people trying to play PSP with his arms stuck out hitting everyone. I'm confident he is the most annoying person earth. More annoying that James Power. I do also find that a bit harsh cos I don't even know James Power but I do know he was annoying at Parmstock. James Power? That might not even be his name, it's something Power...

(Oh my god what is the pathetic attempt for a moustache doing on his face?)

I feel like I don't include enough pictures in my blog.

Boo ya!

I've had a productive day! I finally had a lay in until 9am, woke up and wanted more sleep alas that was not a choice. Had a bath and then driving lesson at 10am. I was nervous because it was the first one since my failed driving test. It went very well, although i'm just shit at reading signs. I came hom and made some ham and lettuce, mayo wraps. They were wicked. I was going to go for chicken but I didn't fancy chicken tikka and that was all what was on offer.

At 2.15 I had my interview at Flagship, Hms Nelson for RNICG Adminstrator. Administrator to the Royal Navy Intelligence Customer Group. (Sounds WELL GOOD!) Linda and Donna interviewed me and they were very nice and asked me a few questions. I think I answered them pretty well. fingers crossed! They said I should hear in 2 weeks I really really really hope I get it, even though I have to wear some shit uniform.

I came home and took a nap whilst watching marathon's of programmes on Paramount. It was awesome. I woke up at 6:15pm then spoke to Mum. She was very cuddly today calling me her 'baby' heh. I love her, despite some arguments she's the best Mum in the world. I love her so much, I even hung the washing out. I also did some of my own washing! DUNDUNDUN!

I really want to see Harry Potter. I texted Kate, Vicki, Charis to see if they wanted to go to the cinema tomorrow night to see it but none of them replied...Becca is in London so she can't. Mayb's we'll go saturday. Otherwise i'll have to bloody go on my own again. It's the saddest thing in the world but I don't even care!

Work tomorrow. Boo.

Davey

...Nugent has almost signed on the dotted line for Pompey today! (Subject to medical) How exciting, 6million pounds. Shows how far we've come as a club, a few other clubs wanted him and he chose to come to us, whoop! Apparently signed some Nigerian bloke for 8m too! Sounds well good, press conference at 5pm!

Been training a guy called Dan again today, I have realised I have no patience. I was obviously as nervous as him on my first few days but everything is in slow motion arrghhh! I'm a dickhead. He thinks I hate him, this is not good.

Desperately need to find out about flagship tonight, last chance before interview. I'm quite nervous about tomorrow actually. More nervous about driving, it's the first lesson i've had since I failed my test. EEK.

Short blog today, thanks to guy for first blog comment ever, yippee!

Love and peace.

Chocolate

...on my desk. People are so disgusting. It wasn't even a nice neatly packed bar waiting for me it was a few crumbs of crushed rubbish somebody had left. Disappointing.

So last night I sat down with my Mum and had a look at brochures for travelling next year and a the moment I ave narrowed it down to 2 choices. Teaching English in China looks good. 15 hours a week, 2 full days off and it's 2-6 year olds. It says they're very excitable and will give you a round of applause when you enter the room and shower you with gifts! Doesn't sound too bad! Either that or going to work in orphans in India (I sound like Mother Teresa) but this looks amazing. It's £1599 for 3 months and that is everything paid for except your flight. They meet you at the airport and care for you, keep in touch with you through out your placement and even give you a buddy list of other volunteers doing the same programme. Doing something like this is totally not me at all which makes it a bit more exciting. I'm hoping it will give me some sort of direction and life experience. I need to be thrown in the deep end for once. I've decided if I get this new job it will be easier for me to save money. Hopefully I will save enough to go next year.

Caroline gave me £20 in capital bonds yesterday and I went to HMV and bought 5 deevs! Vera Drake, Garden State, Fight Club, Reservoir Dogs and Brokeback Mountain. Good value for £20 woohoo. I went to Asda last night and bought some rather dashing clothes for my interview on thursday. They came to an astonishing £15! Can't believe it. Well expensive. Har. Came home and had some yum dinner of Jacket potato, salad and really nice chicken breast kiev. Yummm. I was so tired I went to bed at 9:30pm tried watching a bit of broke back mountain which I fell asleep to. I got a phone call from Nihat at 00:47am it woke me up and I thought it was my alarm going off ready to get up for work. This had to be a joke, it was still dark! Luckily it was and I studied the clock for a while before believing that the time was safely not even 1am yet and I wasn't going to be late. Then the alarm really did go off at 6:30am and I wanted to cry. Early is the worst thing in the world.

Today I shall be mostly working and then going home to research Flagship and do nothing else. Excellent.

Wicked weekend

Friday night I spent trying to do two things at once. It sort of worked out but it sort of didn't too, hah. I went to Kate's at 7.30 and got a bit addicted to the Roddick/ Gasquet tennis match and was glued to the TV until it was almost certain he was going to lose so we left. Met Becca and Charis near plumbase and we proceeded to the southern electric club to meet Vicki. I used to go there as a child all the time with my parents so was strange to be back there again. £1.60 for double vodka's. Bargain central! We reminisced back to the days when we dressed up as the spice girls. some how i'm always Mel B. Mainly cos the others are pale and I get a 'slight' tan on holiday. I don't mind so much, at least i've got Eddie Murphy's baby. Cool. I was badgered into going to the work party and at £5 a ticket for 4 free drinks and BBQ food, I couldn't really say no. I left southern electric at about 9.30pm and my taxi driver showed me pictures of his children on the way on his phone which, was a tad alarming considering he was driving at the same time and I wasn't really that interested. The party was better than I ever expected it to be, I planned to go, get my drinks, my food, and go back to meet the girls. I got there and Steph, G-Unit, Vers, Caroline, Myke and Emeline were all there already having a good time. There was a bouncey castle and one of them sticky walls where you put the suit on and launch yourself at it. Unfortunately we did not get to sample that but we did have some fun on the bouncey castle and some giant boxing gloves. We had a boogie, Myke bought everyone shots of aftershock and Steph and I got a taxi home at about 12.45. Didn't get to meet the girls again but I was rather trollied and I had to be up early the next day for London. I was having a merry taxi ride home when Steph blurts out "I hope you get murdered" the sentiment was so lovely. Hahaha. Had a wicked time with everyone though and Steph was kind enough to make sure I got home okay after wishing death upon me. I ended up getting details from our taxi driver cos he wants a job at the Listening co. Bonus!

Saturday I went to Dave's cos we were going to Parmstock which is a music event held at Parmiter's school in Garston but before that I went into London to meet Guy. We went to the Natural History Museum which was mostly a pile of rocks but we had a good time. Ate some tasty chicken melt panini and then I went on my way to St albans. Tried calling Dave whose phone had run out of battery without him realising and I thought it was going to be a terrible day of me stuck outside his house locked out. Luckily he timed it just right and met me as I was walking out of the station. Good timing. I was a bit hungover and very tired so we went back to his house and watched a bit of tennis and live earth. We got the bus into town to get another bus to Garston, we missed our stop which gave ourselves a little walk to the actual school, silly buggers. Lots of friends I hadn't seen in a while were there and it was very nice to see them. Adam, Alex, Joe, Zoe, Peter, Lauren, Mike, Jim, Dan, Hannah, Charlotte, Emily + more. We watched Wartgore Hellsnicker which was an experience. I actually thought they were very fun. Emily certainly stole the show though, she's amazzinggg. The B team reunited for one last time without Barney since he was in vietnam and that was fantabulous, we all waiting for Kid Cosmic as they were headlining but unfortunately Jim had consumed too many beers before going on stage so his voice was completely gone. Couldn't manage the high notes or anything but the playing was fun! Zoe gave us a lift back and we all went to the Beehive for a drink. Didn't get to say bye to Lauren, Emily, Hannah, Charlotte, Mike, Dan or Jim but i'm sure i'll see them all soon. Zoe spend the journey home with Adam encouraging her to do wheel spins, she managed it in the end and it was amazing haha. Got home and watched about 20 minutes of '40 year old Virgin' before Dave fell asleep so we called it a night and I slept right through until 9.30am.

Sunday we went to Curry's with Moira to see about buying some sort of stereo for her school. They had such a shit feeble selection that we went along to Argos extra and got some other stereo from their mildly bigger selection. Popped in Matalan and then we went home to catch the start of the Grand Prix. I've never ever i my life been interested inthe Grand Prix but i've taken a slight shine to Lewis Hamilton since there has been all this hype and I wanted him to win. He was in the leade until he did a pitstop and pulled away too eagerly and stalled. Silly twat. Moira and Geoff went to some councellor dealy at the crematorium and we turned over for the Men's Final at Wimbledon. I really wanted Nadal to win but after Federer won and gave a speech he seemed like such a nice man I couldn't hold it against him. I got home at 9pm and Dad, Mum and I all sat by the TV with our computers like a bunch of geeks.

Now I am back at work and I started at 7.30am. Not good. Going to Asda tonight (that is all I can afford) to buy some form of smart trousers to wear to my interview on thursday. Fingers crossed I get the job. PLEASE!

Disneysuperland

How much do I want to live at Disneyland Paris? Very much is the answer.

We arrived on the 2nd of July and got the train from the airport to meet Claire at her rather nice hostel. Having gotten up at 3am to start our journey we were knackered but still managed to get the metro to the Eiffel Tower, then walked to Arc de Triumph and to the Le Louvre. We got a tasty baguette from 'Paul's' and ate it outside Le Louvre. Well all promptly fell asleep on the grass which was in a way, heaven. Claire's friend ReneƩ came with us but she has disappeared when we woke up. We caught the train to Noisel which was where 'Hotel Du Luzzard' was and to be honest it looked like a dump from the outside. Our room was actually fairly decent. It had a small telly with some lovely french channels, free tea and coffee (shame we don't like either), a nice but hard bed and a BATH. It was a small bath, but it was a bath. We took a trip into the local 'town' to see what was there and if we could get some food. My god what a ghetto. Kids throwng exceptionally large bangers on the ground making a very loud sound, horrible blocks of flats and a bunch of sketchy looking kebab shops. We decided to go to the only supermarket that ever existed and we bought some sandwiches, some salsa and some sweets. A very hearty dinner, or not. Either way it was nice and we fell asleep to french television.

3rd of july was my birthday and I turned 20 years old. We set off at 9am to Disneyland which was 10 minutes on the train to Noisel and it was literally right there when you stepped off the train, fab! Paid our 103 Euros for a 2 day park hopper. The first thing we went on was 'It's a small world' which is mainly for toddlers and it was a bit shit but still fabulous. I think next was Pirates of the Caribbean, which is well not for 2 year olds, it has a little drop in it which is scary :O
I don't remember the exact order of rides but we went in Indiana Jones ride which definitely used to be a backwards ride but is now forwards. It does a loop the loop and it well wicked anyway. It pissed down with rain when we were on Indiana Jones and I went to a shop and bought a disney rain mac which helped! We then went to eat in Buzz Lightyears Pizza Planet! This sounds cooler then it was. Dave had a 'pizza burger' and I had just a pizza, it was yum but very expensive! We spent the rest of the day moseying around the park found the queue for Thunder Mountain was giant so missed that one out on that day. We went on 'Star Tours' which was crazy. Dave aprticularly enjoyed this one, I think more of a boys ride! It was good but it was kind of an opportunity for me to sit down and rest my feet. Haha. Went on space mountain. I shed a tear the first time we went on this as I have only just conquered my fear of rides and was not really prepared for the ride. Here's me thinking it would climb the shoot merrily at a slow pace when it shoots us up about a million miles an hour unexpectedly. There are no words.
We crossed over to the Walt Disney Studios and went on the rockin' rollercoaster- just as good as I remember. Although scary watching the other people go on before you! We went on Crush's Coaster which you would think would be a small ride for children given it's from Finding Nemo but it was without doubt the best ride there and the scariest. You go down a big drop sideways not knowing where the bloody track is and just when you think it's going to end it goes on a bit more. It was the newest ride there so the queues were mental being 120 minutes at point. We waited until it was 45 minutes as I don't think it would have gotten any lower and the time went by pretty quickly. We went on numerous rides more times than once and generally had a wicked day. We watched the parade and I took many a photos of Mickey + Minnie, Pooh Bear, Little Mermaid, TOY STORY!, Ursula, sleeping beauty, Alice in wonderland, Donald duck and loads more! We rounded the day off with a meal at 'Annette's Diner' and it was the actual best place on earth to eat. I had a 'chilli chilli dog' which sounds rather disgusting but was actually heaven. There was people on rollerskates taking orders! Then they started singing and dancing when we were eating, haha it was wicked!
We went back to our hotel at about 8pm and bathed and got clean from being damp from the rain and then watched some more french tv and I fell asleep whilst Dave watched some programme on MTV which has a french narrator but you could make out the english just about. My birthday was a marvellous one, disneyland is definitely a good way to spend a birthday raining or not.

We got up a bit later on the 4th because we were a tad early the day before. Turns out we were a tad late this day! Crush's coaster which we vowed to go on first, already had 120 minute queue, so we rockin' rollercoastered it up again. They're building a 'Tower of Terror' there and the construction is coming along nicely, shame it wasn't built when we got there. Not that I would have gone on it anyway, haha. We went on the Armageddon, well I say went on, it's not really a ride. Just a weird simulater thingy. It has real fire though! It was crazy, I thought it was going to be boring then all this steam and rocking came from no where and then there was the fire which made it a bit exciting. We had pictures with Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. He was a jolly nice statue of a fella. We went on space mountain a bunch of other times and queued for this rocket ride and the sky was lovely and blue. By the time we got to the front of the queue it started to absolutely pour with rain our shoes and trousers were wet through so we bailed on the rockets and hopped on over to space mountain again. We were going to eat in a yummy mexican place but then we got there and they said they didn't have any food. No food? What kind of restaurant has no food!? We had to go to Casey's Corner for a hot dog which wasn't bad. It had some rank looking cheese sauce on it which was actually quite yumtastic. We then got some gooooood ben and jerry's ice cream. We went to the studios and went on Aero Smith ride some more, and we waited and waited for the queue for Crush to go down and eventually it got to 90 minutes so we joined the queue anyway. It took a mere 40 minutes to get through the queue and when we came out the other side the queue had gone down a bit more so we queued again, haha. It was totally worth it. We left at 6 and stopped of at Annettes Diner and I got an oreo milkshake and Dave got a peanut butter one. Yummeh! We made it to the airport with time to spare but the mean lady at baggage control took away my shampoo without telling me or asking to search my bag. Bloody rude. Very very very tired when we got home so went straight to sleep.

Went to visit Annabelle and Robyn on thursday, Rob's is getting massive! She's the cutest baby ever in the world though and we looked after her for about an hour whilst Annabelle went for a sun bed. She does lovely smiles now and we had a fair few on thursday :)

I've been watching the last bits of the Tennis and I didn't like Djokovic when he beat Hewitt cos I rather like Hewitt but he just bear Baghdatis and he looks mean so I cheered for Djokovic (silently in my head...) and he actually won! Although gave me a fright when he won 2 sets then lost 2 sets and left it until the 5th set to actually win. Naughty Djokovic. He's a bit good though. Venus Williams is currently playing, she won the first set and i'm sure she'll eventually in this match but the second set is tight at the moment.

Back to London tomorrow, meeting guy to go to some gallery I think, not sure though. Then to Parmstock to see KC do their thing. Good times.
