Take the pieces and build them sky towards

Worst.Day.Ever.

Well not ever. I expect there are starving children somewhere in the world and i'm clearly so much better off than them. BUT; I woke up possibly the most tired ever, made ever better because I spoke to Gareth for a while but then that was shot to bits when I was late for work. I got stuck in a mile of traffic on the sodding bus and then had to walk from cosham. There is not much to do at the moment so i'm left sat there on the internet all day and as much as I like the internet it does get a bit boring. Had a meeting about health charts and i'm on the list! Wooo. That was probably the best part of the day.

I ended up leaving work just after 6 and I walked to cosham to get the bus. Some shitty road works are going on and the bus was diverted and as I walked up TWO buses drove past on the opposite side of the road which had been made open for them to drive through. So after that i'm pretty fucking pissed off that I now have to walk home. I start walking and get my iPod out, only to find that something has happened to the screen and i've still go no clue as to what the hell has happened. I should probably look at that at some point. I got home at 7pm.

Now i'm home and I can't really be bothered to make food even though I probably should eat something.

Also: How do you know when you love someone? After telling someone I loved them every day for 4 years and 'falling out' of love wasn't the funnest thing. I suppose I shouldn't compare past experiences and let them bother me in falling back into that but i'm obviously an absolute pesimist so i'd expect nothing less. Today has only been made worse by missing him. How did this happen?! I was going along merrily before all this complicated mess popped up. It's probably the best complicated mess ever though, so that's fine. I reeeeeealllyyyy hope 6th Oct is awesome. How could it not be?

New font signifys new stage in life. Or something.

Caerfilthy

How good was this weekend? This is how good:

Friday I finish work at 4pm and hop on the train to Cardiff at 16:39. Arrive in Cardiff at 19:50 to Boyo; in a suit may I add. We walked around for a bit and eventually found my hostel, met Henri and headed into town. Steve met us and took us to a few bars, we met up with Chris and Emma and their mate who's name STILL escapes me. Gah. I know his name is also Chris though, just forgot his nickname/surname.
Henri paid £2 to get into walkabout and then we couldn't go in cos Boyo didn't have shoes so he had to come back out again, haha. Ended up staying out until 3:30am. Boyo walked me back to the hostel, I tried to get in and had to wake Henri up since he was already sleeping. He snores for England. Christ almighty if I wasn't drunk I would have had to smack him with something. Almost considered not going to the football since I was a bit hung over, but since it was kind of the whole point of the weekend I figured I better go! Ended up being an alright match. Started off a bit slow, Preston looked terrible and it was a slight embarrassment walking through the street with Henri and his bloody Preston shirt. Then after the match we met Schminky Steve and he walked us back into town whereby on the way Henri got attacked by a 7 year old taff. Highlight of my day.

Went out on Saturday night with Boyo and Henri again and a couple of the schminky's, then we parted ways with them and Boyo, Henri and myself went to a bar which was actually part of a hostel (not ours) but it was pretty swanky all the same. Met 3 canadians and an Irishman with an epic beard. We had some amazing conversation it was the most random thing. I was so drunk I couldn't walk far so ended up getting a taxi, hahah. Passed out in bed, which was not the plan but I unfortunately couldn't help it.
Was so nice to see everyone, hopefully be making more trips up Cardiff way. Wigan Vs Pompey and night out in Preston next stop! Whoop.
Some interesting facial accessories appeared in Boyo's pocket and I wore them for a grand total of about 5 minutes and even bought a drink in them.


Here I am:


Hahahaha. I would make such a good spy.

To here knows when

Driving tests are the fucking bane of my life. I hate them and all their silly drivey needs. I tell you, i'll be the fucking expert on test routes by the time i've actually passed my test. Oh well, roll on another test and roll on friday when i'm actually going to have some fun. Carrdddifff. Whoop. Drunken antics with some people I don't really know. Hurrah! Of course by the end of it i'll know them all a lot better than I did before I went.

Tonight I am going to eat copious amounts of sweet chili sauce because it is the best thing ever made and my mum got a new bottle today. Then i'm going to go to bed and dream something amazing, hopefully.

I'm fed up with writing this already. Good bloody day.

With tired eyes, Tired minds, Tired souls, we slept...

This is a video of myself last night going down the rather scary vertical red slide in my sleeping bag. It was probably the most fun i've ever had. We also played Laser Quest and I was wicked! I scored 2351 points on the first go only beaten by Chelsea and My Dad. Unfortunately I got a little too drunk before the party and at the party and ate too much food when the food arrived and felt like I was going to hurl so went home at 1am. It was amazing fun though and I so want to do it again!

Today I went to town and bought a new top with the Capital Bonds I had from Caroline. Tis a kind of Turquoise colour with some sort of stitching round the neck. It took me so long trapsing round the shops to find something I even remotely liked but eventually I found this and I looovveee it. Think i'm going to wear it to Cardiff on friday and have party timeee. Looking forward to meeting Henri since we have like the most in common ever. Also looking forward to seeing Chris and Emma again since it's been looooooong time since I last saw them back in February. Will be meeting Lauren before the match because she isn't coming out on the friday. Emma and I will go to meet her, I think. Schminky's are coming too, dear god, give me strength. Only kidddinggg, i'm sure they will be nice boys. Boyo is still meeting me from the station as far as I know, however, I haven't got a clue if this is right. I'm sure I could find my way if it all goes tits up.

Back to work tomorrow to start my first full week! To be honest I just want friday to hurry up so I can go on me ol' adventures in Cardiff. Whoop.

Ciao.

Birds can fly so high

I started my new job on wednesday and it's been craazzyyy. I really think i'm going to be happy there though. I had a small introduction thing when I got there on wednesday and then I went straight up to meet my team. There is 5 of us; Kim, Kerry, Lucy and John. John is the only boy, bless him. Not really had a chance to really get to know him yet, don't know when I will. Kerry and Lucy are very lovely and they've been very kind. Kim is a little older than the rest but she's a nice lady.

I have to attend a Health and Safety talk to attend on tuesday and then I get my prope IBM picture badge, exciting! I'm such a geek.

(Oooooh. Hollyoaks just finished and Justin pushed Claire! Muhahah! I take television far too seiously.)

I'm going to Claire's tonight to watch some movies and eat sweets in our pajamas. She doesn't finish work until 9pm though so i'm hanging around at home until then. This time next week i'll be on the train to Cardiff! I'm well excited, parrtttyyy in Carddifff! Footy on saturday, just found out I have to stand! What the hell is that about?! Not that i'm used to any sort of good ground given the state of Fratton Park but terraces!? My legs are likely to drop off after 90 minutes. Oh well, i'm over it now. I'm going to be getting there at 19:41 I think, depending on when my ticket is for. I hope it allows me on the 16:39 train or I will be sad indeed.

Kate and I went to The New Inn last night for some drinks. We got fairly drunk (which we did not anticipate) and I said "Ow, I wish there was a pub quiz" and as if by magic the pub quiz man came along! Kate and I got 34/40 I'm convinced Track ID is the best invention ever to be made since it enabled us to get all the music questions right. Yeah, alright, we cheated a bit. But only a bit. The grand prize was like £8 though which makes me think that it probably wasn't worth cheating anyway...

So on the way home Kate accquired a traffic cone and we took various pictures. I get in, on the phone to Boyo, more drunk than I thought and end up sort of hanging up on him but in my defence I thought I was going to hurl chunks so I had to get off the phone. May as well face it, hurling on the phone is not nice for either party. I woke up this morning at 06:35 and had an interesting conversation with my Mother. It went pretty much like this:

"Emily come here."
"Yes"
"Have you lost something?"
"Erm..no"
"You have.."
*Thinks*
"A man just knocked at the door and informed us he has found your purse in the middle of Drayton Lane"
"Riiiiigghht"

I didn't even know i'd left it there. LOLZ. What a nice genuine man bringing it back in sot of one piece though. I think it must have gotten run over my a vehicle since it doesn't shut properly. But I can live with that.

Pompey play Liverpool tomorrow i'm welllll looking forward to it. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from having not been for 2 weeks! Or is it 3? I lose count. Anyway 'mmmooonn the lads! Nugeeee please score. I'll give you a kiss and everything.

I HAVE THE WHOLE WEEKEND OFF. I DON'T HAVE TO WORK WEEKENDS EVER AGAIN. Just to put that out there.

Good day.

Bye bye bye bye bye

It's my last 45 minutes of Pageone ever and i'm writing a blog. A wise way to use my time I feel. Last night I went to val's with Dad and ate some salmon and some cheesecake. Cheesecake was GOOD. Watched the England match which by the way WE WON. Who knew we could do it? 3 good goals, an amazing take from Wright-Phillips, Michael Owen back to his best (If for only a short while..) and a first England goal for Micah Richards. He did some shit celebration but i'll forgive him, he's only 19. Younger then me :

Had work at 7:30am this morning, got up at 06:57am (the latest I could possibly do) and then jumped in a taxi at 7:15am. It was skills. When I got to work Lewis and Matt were here and they kindly gave me a "UFO" CD signed by both of them which was such a last minute 'ooh we've found this you can have it!' gift but it was the best 'ooh we've found this you can have it!' gift i've ever received. Myke gave me a bit of paper with "Emily this is your leaving card :" written on it which was appreciated, a bit. Myke if you're reading. I resent the fact you did not use the paints. Caroline says they're sending me a card next week, can't wait for that.

Becca and I have spent the day taking calls and painting. We painted an 'Underwater life' picture but it got boring after a little while and so we gave up. But what we have done looks rad cool, she's letting me keep it! Becca is cool.

I have to interrupt this blog to inform you that I just told Becca that 'The Dykeenies' are playing the gonzo tour and she says "Are they like dyke's with bikini's on?" It has made my day. Hahahah.

Off after work to meet steph for 30 mins for some hanging out mega cool time and then going home to cook my pa and me some sort of food thing. It's a sad/exciting day in Emily land as i'm moving on to a rather scary chapter in sort of more ways than one. Good luck me.

Love and stuff.

P.S WCC and Eccles - FUCK RIGHT OFF. I'm out of here!

Dream dream dream drrreeeaamm

Pretty much on top of the world today, SO happy, i'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Hurrah!

Finished work yesterday and went to see Claire (clive) as my poor love has been ill with some sort of bug. She showed me a new tattoo that she got on her little toe, a ladybird. I don't think she wanted to tell many people but nobody reads my blog anyway so she should be fine for me to announce it here. Anyway, she was lovely as always and bought some chinese for us to share; it was delicious.

(By the way, while I remember, who gave me a comment congratulating me on my job? Come forward anonymous!)

Tonight I will be attempting to cook my Dad and I dinner, my Mother has gone to Bratislava to see my Sister today and will be back monday night. Dad and I will have to fend for ourselves. Saturday is Father and Daughter day and we will be going to the Pub with various friends to watch the England match.

Right-o, i'm off to day dream about dreamy things.

Hard to get?

So this morning I woke up at 7:18am and was 30 minutes late for work. I have no idea what the hell happened. My alarm didn't even go off, the fact I may have woken up early and turned it off and not remembered scares me slightly. I think I should have less of a soothing alarm tone waking me up because this clearly puts me back to sleep. I'll whack out some Slipknot or something. Not that I own any Slipknot.

It's the 5th today. 16 days until Cardiff. I'm really excited! Chris had aquired a need to text me a count down everyday. So far he's managed to get in there first for the last 4 days. I am not happy about this. Tonight I am planning my vengence and at 00:00 I shall be in there for a text message to either annoy him or wake him up. Genius plan Emily. This of course is only happening if I don't fall asleep before. Dammit i'm so tired I think I probably will.

Spoke to Boyo on the phone for the first time last night. (I still call him Boyo, I don't think this will change even know his actual name is Gareth) He was as welsh as they come, this pleased me greatly. Although after much deliberating over who he sounded like i've managed to crack it; H from Steps..hahahah. I don't think he was too happy when I told him. We seemed to have chatted for about an hour, God knows how that happened. He spent the majority of it laughing at my accent and not understanding anything I said. It went well :)

Roll on my bed when I get home. Yippeee.

Love Explosion

I actually got up in the hour of 5:00am this morning. This devastates me greatly. Although saying that, I feel surprisingly awake and up beat for someone who went to sleep at 1:00am and woke up at 5:50am.

Dave called yesters and we chatted for a while. I talked about myself for the whole duration and then had to go and eat my dinner. Whoops.

Interesting conversations last night, with a few different people. Probably more tonight too, yay! I have the day off tomorrow so i'm really going to take advantage of the lay in. Depending on what Clive wants to do tomorrow, i'm hoping we can meet up at 4 after my driving lesson.

Ugh, i'm all out of witty and interesting things to say. Boring.

Rest in Peace

My condolences to Nick's family who live in Durham. I have been posting on Frenzy/ROTC for over 3 years now and he's been there right from the start. I was shocked to hear this morning that nick had died due to breathing problems on friday 31st August. An absolutely shock as we pm'd a few times and he was always a sensible caring person on there. Although I never met him I felt like I kind of knew him so it is rather sad. He was a carer for his wife too so that must have been a shock for them. RIP Mr. Boulderbollocks. Heh funny name.

I have 5 shifts left at Pageone. Oh joy! then I shall be off to the realms of IBM and I can't wait! I proper job with proper money and proper hours!

We're losing 3-1 against Arsenal away. I didn't expect to win but it's like we've admitted defeat. Nugent just missed a sitter. Christ sake boy get into it! I really want him to do well :(

Back to work tomorrow. Tuesday off to hang out with Noods. Then my last day is sunday! Whoop!

I'm lazy and I canny be bothered to write more. Laterrr.
