I will say some daft things won't I?

well turns out my update is once again late but I've been feeling a little under the weather lately and bogged down by research work - which by the way I am doing, just hoping between the highlighting, posting here and reading Gaia - Baka sound be able to remember what we were like in ICT with less options so I will have a running commentary to prove that I am doing my homework.

(Did you know that Beelzebub is briefly mentioned in Queen's song "Bohemian Rhapsody" with the line, "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me." Quite interesting that)

Thursday - got up early and had to put the washing machine together which went reasonably well for me and my Dad by any rate. Only bad thing that happened was that I didn't put the cold water pump on and got squirted by water. But the new washer works and it's all nice and dandy which is good. Headed into Uni with no problems and got in on time. The Lecture was interesting and made me think of Surrealism in a slightly better light cause for some bizar reason the people who made it thought that we were going to change the world and the way we thought by getting us all to use our IDs (I hate Frued but I might have to read up on him and Marx again yeh!). And I relaised that Tim Burton uses a lot of surrealism which does make sense of the films that I've seen. We then watched 'Scorpio Rising' and if you want to keep your sanity do not watch it. It is a piece of crap that is just bad with gay bikers, a nazi guy preching to no one and sixies music that was nothing to do with the Biking scene. It's strange I know.

Went to work afterwards and the team consisted of me and Jeff which was a little crappy but it was a normal night with customers on high whinge mode. Came home, had tea and went to bed.

(gah the candy games fun but taking a while - wonder where Jack i though? And random bit of homework again In Alchemy Berith was the element with which all metals could be transmuted into gold, surely derived from the name of the demon Berith.)

Friday - got up and felt completely and totally ill and dead. Decided that I was not going to be going to Kendo cause I would just make myself worse and texts Kamo to tell him so. Cleaned the top of the house whilst dancing around to my J-pop CD and I'm highly surprised the bloody thing hasn't broken yet the amount of times it gets played. Went into town to drop off my homework at Peter's and go into the Heaton Pie shop in order to get Pies (ironically) and the man behind the counter knows me now which is quite fun and nice in a strange way.

Came home and spent two and a half hours writing 'The Beast of the Moor' which was the hawolleen Ghost Story fic that is for a compotition at work and is posted on WT if you want to read it. Stopped for a little while and then had tea before workign a little more on my research - I swear there's a ton of it - before going to bed but I can't really remember much.

(bloody phone cutting my connection off. Heh nearly there on the candy game lol. Random Homework bit "Lucifer" is a poetic name for the "morning star", a close translation of the Greek eosphoros, the "Dawn-bringer", which appears in the Odyssey and in Hesiod's Theogony.)

Saturday - got up and was sick that morning, meaning that I chose not to go to Mandy's Hawolleen party which was a bit of a bummer but the way I was there was no way I would have survived. Went through work which was okay and got down the characters for Renegrade Angel in basic form (which I will write up in a little while) and then spent eight hours by myself cause no one on my team was in. A bit prissy but I will get to annoye Jeff tonight for lying to me. lol Came home, had tea and ended up watching 'The Perfect Scary Movie' doc on four which was quite interesting cause it went through all sorts of different horror movies and showed that each generations concept of fear which was quite cool.

Mam's decided that she's going to stay up late and watch all thr horror movies and guess whose been roped into watching them with her *points to herself* I'm probably going to enjoy it mucho but Dad's chickening out - cuase he's seen them all already - and I'm just like 'yeah my imaginations goign to go into overdrive big time'. Heh it'll still be a laugh of sorts. Checked e-mails and then went to bed.

(checking on the washing brb - half hour before it's finished)

(I'm getting annoyed with paying the refresh game on Gaia - sheesh I'm only want one item to say I did it. Random homework insert: Gressil is the demon of impurity and uncleanliness, Focalor kills men, drowns them, and sinks warships; but if commanded by the conjurer he will not harm any man or thing, Forneus teaches Rhetoric and languages, gives men a good name, and makes them be loved by their friends and foes, In demonology Murmur is a Great Duke and Earl of Hell, and has thirty legions of demons under his command. He teaches Philosophy, and can oblige the souls of the deceased to appear before the conjurer to answer every desired question. According to some authors he also teaches music.)

Sunday - slept in till 12 but boy did I need it cause I woke up nice and refreshed and feeling ten times better. Watched a little morning telly before getting washed and dressed and spent half the afternoon hacking up the garden with Mam and Dad and an idea for Silent Killers came into my head which was to write a story based on the main character about her life prior to the film and I've decided to go along with this method for all them. Should give me something interesting to do if I get too bored. Then spent the other half watching The Lost World for the first time - cause when it came out I refused point blank to go and see it cause the first one had terrified me - it was a reasonable movie, no where near as good as 1 or 3 but something interesting to watch. Looking forward to next week as we can watch the final one ^_^

After that helped mam a little more in the garden and then came onto the computer to do homework and go online. Ended up snapping a little at Dad when he called me several times to see Goldmember when I had told him that I was doing homework - which I was and have been - and finally went down to have tea. Enjoyed what I saw of the film but after having to sit there with Kelly in the past and re-watch the funny bits five or seven times it does get a little on the annoying side. Came back online and ended up on till ten to one in the morning when I got sick of my homework. Went to bed quite happy ^_^

(Woot nearly done with my homework!)

(heh it's finished the highlighting is - just got to print it all off now)

Today/Monday - got up at 9:30 and took the dog for a walk before putting up some stickers which Dad had got for halloween. I think they're meant to go on the outside but Dad said they were for the inside so they're on the inside which is rather interesting but they look cool. Might take some piccies of them later on. Went to the Big Shops to get some money I owed mam (inject caritages) and to fill up my car which was reasonable and the shops were really nice and peaceful unlike the last two times I've been in when it's been wallop, crash and thud all the way.

Came back and made myself some sandwiches, watched a little Tom and Jerry before coming on to finish my homework, update my blog and play on gaia all at once. lol.

Well I'm off to print now so I'll see you all later.

Thank God I'm part of the Self-preservation Society

The title does have some reference trust me and I am not talking about the Itlian Job either before Mamo starts lol

Monday - got up reasonbly (well 10ish) and headed to the shops in order to pay off my Tution fees as they had come through. It's a bit drizzelly outside so I put on my kagoul and start off with the dog thinking I will be okay and at worse I will have to change my socks when I get home. Of course what happens? The heavens open up and my jeans end up soaked through before I get to the shops. Absoultely great not. So anyway I go into the bank and chat onto the casheir that I know and get my money before tropping off to Barclays to pay off the fees. Compared to last year it was a dodle and none of this 'well we really shouldn't' malarky that got me hepped up last year.

So I head home in the rain and change my jeans, remembering to swap the stuff over in the washing machine before playing about on the computer doing research work and messing about cause I had nothing to do really - yes I know WT needs a update but Uni comes first - and head downstairs to sort out the washing cause it needs chagning over. I open said washer and a load of water is sitting in the bottom of it, so I carefully take the clothes out, squeese them dry, bung them in the tumble and proceed to empty the water out by hand cause I thought that I had over-used the washing powder. So I put the next lot in and a tiny amount of powder and fadric thingy. Tell Dad to be careful of the washing machine and proceed to watch telly with him.

We go to change everything over again and find the same thing, only this time Dad has a look and it turns out it's knackard. Which means our washing can't be done. I leave for work and Jess starts randomly juddering and takes a while to get started and I'm getting worried thinking that she was going to break down on me. Luckily she didn't and I troops off to work quite happily. Get to work and the usual routine of customers going on at me etc but on the plus side I came away with nine Pops which I was mega happy about. Come home and learn the the washers knacked and we're getting a replacement on Thursday. Horray. Tell my parents about the juddering and Dad thinks that it'll just be damp. Heads to bed after tea and goes to sleep.

Tuesday - get up and out of the house by 8:15 and trundle off to town with Jess going like a dream. Encounter virtually no traffic jams and most people are quite happy to leave me alone and not annoy me. I'm thinking that I was just over reacting yesterday when suddenly the juddering starts and the car cuts out on me completely. To make matters worse I'm stuck on Collage Street - that's the one the top of Northumbria Uni, right next to the City Hall I'll probably point it out later if you haven't a clue where I actually was - and theres a small bit of traffic behind me. So I try about five times to get the car started and she won't go. On go the Hazard lights and I keep trying to start the car.

Most people just pass me by, having seen the hazards and realising that I'm kinda stuck. A guy in a van who I was blocking, get's out and is kind enough to help me move the car into a better position so I'm not as dangerous. One stupid prick in another car yells at me through the closed window and I'm like 'what the hell do you want me to do? My car's just broken down on me and I've no idea what's wrong!' in my head but I just shrug and shake my head to indicate this.

Still can't get the car to start ten minuets later, thank god for the school holidays, so I call up Greenflag (hence the Self-preservation Society bit) and ask them to come and help me cause that's what I took the policy out for. So no problem they'll come and sort it out. I tell them that I'm on Collage Street, opposite the Saville Medical Center, next to the Sutherland building of Northumbria Uni. The lass on the other end must have no clue as to where Newcastle is and at the same time I'm trying to talk to two other guys who want to help me move my car around to the corner.

So I gets sorted and the Newcastle lot of Greenflag call me asking to confirm where I am cause the daft twit had wrote down Sunderland instead of Sutherland. Interesting combo that I think. I call Becky on my course and ask her to tell Peter that I'm going to be late and then call Mam to let her know what's happened and that I might need a lift. Greenflag turn up at 10:20 (I had called them at 9:50 so not bad at all) and it turns out the distrubition cables on my car are broken, so that's fixed with a little cable tie and off I go.

Finally get into uni and get half-a-lecture on characterisation and goals and ambitions before heading off to mooch in town for a while. Of course I'm not feeling that great cause I got a little annoyed, worried and stressed about the car - don't ask me why but small things like that can set me off big time - so I go and have dinner and then go and buy Vampire Game 4 and From Far Away 4 to try and cheer myself up. Mooch into the libary for a short time and attack my five minuet script with the red pen of doom (that's an old saying I've not used in a while) and then go to my tutorial to get it all sorted out (still need to do that but it can wait).

Called mam and met up so that we could go to Graham's (the garage we use) and he tells us that he'll need to fix it tomorrow cause some twit in the past had only attached the connector with a small cable tie instead of the metal lock that was needed hence why it was coming loose. So me and mam drive to silverlink and mam takes me to the big place which I can't think of the name of and I have a bit of a rant at her about it but she didn't mind and was happy to help me get it out of my system.

Went to work and a reasonable night and I came away with seven pops which I was happy with. Came home, watched CSI:NY and Dad enquired about the car a little. Went to bed totally knackard.

Wednesday/Today - got up and got a lift off mam to town cause she was going in early. Gets into Uni trying to work out if we're on Tutorials or not, turns out we're not and we're also supposed to have our treatments done by today. Thank god I had the second draft of my step-outline with me, it's technically the same thing anyway.

Went through a letcure that was mis-matched and interesting, especially watching some different international films. Headed away from that and bought a Greggies before getting on the bus to head home. Forgot the small fact that the buses aren't running past mine at the moment cause of the road block so I ended up getting off at High Pit and walking home from there. Actually it was a nice walk and helped me to relax a lot which I think I needed.

Came home, walked the dog and then came online. Probably going to mooch a little, do a little bit of work and then head off to work before coming online again tonight.

Another long update

Damn I hate long updates but nevermind. Here we go again

Tuesday - my full scripting day and to say interesting was not exactly the way to put it. Spent the morning going through the feature film ideas. Mines the last to go and next time I decide to base a film on anything I'm going to make sure in advance that people actually know the story of what I'm trying to pitch. Seriously trying to pitch a film based on Dr.Faust when no one in your class or the letcurer for that matter knows the story of Dr.Faust, it is interesting to say the very least. No one was really interested in Renegrade Angel till I mentioned the fact that God and the Devil were getting a divorse so now my film is based around that (with Judas being in charge of the Divorse court - courtesy of Becky). Still it's going to be fun and I got one of my quotes of the week from Peter (script dude) 'I would want to go and see this film...when it's made in 2010' which made me smile mucho, cause the others he hadn't really commented on. Strange though, me and David (a friend in the class) were the only ones to do stories that were not based in our time. Mines the eteral plain with religious aspects and thingys and his is a Roman one about a German man who stopped the Roman's invading Germany which sounds really good and has me mega interested.

The second letcure was about my five minuet script and Peter was happy with it, needed a couple of small things working on and I was amased to discover that one of my characters was actually based on my old Great-great Uncle Doug and I hadn't realised until Peter told me to drop a bit and I reflected that Uncle Doug wouldn't act that like. Mam recognised the character straight away when I told her about him on Friday which was strange. Heh I called my old guy Douglas in homage to him...I really need to see him again actually.

Also went shopping and bought Vol 3 of Vampire Game and From Far Away which I was mega mega chuffed with cause I've been after them for a little while and I swear I'm totally hooked on Vampire Game...there's only 14 vols confirmed and 15 on the way. Heh I've got time to play catch up though. Work was pretty usual with whingy customers aplenty. Came home, had tea and went to bed happily.

Wednesday - got up on time, went and filled up Jess as she was running low, gets into town and parked, goes into a arrange meeting with Samm (let) and spend two minuets with him and then come home. A bit of a waste of time but nevermind. Watched some TV, then came upstairs and did my homework of re-writing my five minuet script and getting research for my feature (had to create heaven and hell don't ask) and read my theory book.

Went to work and pretty bad night with people annoying me -as anyone on messenger would probably have heard. Came home, had tea, watched something or started watching something, came online and didn't get off till 1am. Not exactly the best thing in the world but well worth it. Went to bed afterwards.

Thursday - managed to get up and washed the cars with dad which was reasonable bar Dad decided to change one of the wiper blades on Jess which was fine bar I had a slight time sched to stick too and he was faffing on but I know it's just cause he cares. Get into Uni on time and sit through a lecture on Soviet Cinema, Documentary and Modernism which was quite interesting in a lot of ways and sorted out some of the text book stuff I had read up. Thank God for my Cinema Studies Key Concepts book.

Then sat through one of the strangest films I have sat through, typically it's Frech Surrealism and I'm not even going into it cause just thinking about it makes my head hurt. Don't get me wrong, Surrealism I'm all for and I think when it's done well it can be proative and thought provoking but will someone please tell me what the hell is going on beforehand? I know I'm a media student and I'm supposed to enjoy this sort of thing and to a certain degree I do but what the hell is going on and why has he just watched a lass get killed, then previously turned up in her clothes, tried to rape some woman, then kill a man who was found dead in the forest whilst she walks off down a beach happily with someone else....yeah you get the idea. Gah I'm going to stop worrying about that till Thursday next week.

Went to work and got annoyed at traffic cause people can't drive in the rain at all, prior I got another quote of the week from Noel (theory dude) 'Let's all sit in a Hippy circle and talk about this theory' which was really good and made things more fun to explore and critise. Work was reasonable and I forgot the manga's for Ahmed again which he nearly killed me for. Came home and I went through the usual routine and was online for a little while.

Friday - got up a little late and cleaned the top part of the house, then mooched cause I had done my homework and only had to argue with the printer three times to print off a little I had done. Yakacard on to mam when she got home and then went into town at six so I could go and post my homework through Peter's door and then go to kendo.

Kendo was really fun, turns out we have about ten-twelve new starters which is really cool and I got two classic quotes of the week from Hiya and Mark about my new red hair. Hiya-kun - 'Oh my god! It's wierd and red! It's not supposed to look like that! It's cool but it's still wierd' and Mark after doing a double take with a step back when he walked in and saw me 'Wow, you're red!'.

When they got over the fact that my hair was red, which knowing the kendo lot will take some time, we went through Kata pratice and I had to tell the kid I was facing to stop worrying about hurting me cause I'm a girl cause I was going to hit him back when he got to armour stage. Then we went into Enshin Shia (Piggy in the middle) and I faced Barry and Jane. I came out with my wrist a virtual bruise and killing like mad, my elbow stinging a little and a bright red and black bruise from Barry missing my men (head) and hitting me on the shoulder. Big Big Owwie but a hell of a lot of fun.

Went home and stayed up talking to Mam about stuff which was great cause we don't get to spend to much time together at the moment which is a shame. But it was great talking on. Mum went to pick up Dad and I had a shower and washed my hair again before going to bed.

Saturday - was up on time and got everything sorted. Went to work with the Manga's I was lending to Ahmed, the ones for Kal and the things I was returning to Mamo-chan that night. I forgot my lunch. Mum is kind and great enough to bring it into work for me which was a major help and I owe her one (I think I shall buy a book for her on Monday). Work was reasonable and I sat there doing my homework of writing Heaven and Hell (needs to be typed up) whilst listening to customers take a hissy fit over things that I could not do for them cause the system wouldn't allow me or that there was something stopping me and they're all acting like two year olds who have just had their favourite toy taken away and throwing tantrums.

Ahmed get's his Manga's Azumanga Diaoh as it happens and goes on about how he's going to be lonely and bored cause it's the teams night off (the full time workers that is). I point out that he has two manga's to read just as he clicks to it as well. We chat on for a little while and then I finish my shift and head off to town to go to the cinema. Kal looked really cool in the semi-gothic style and told me off for not turning up the same. So now I'm sworn to for Little Shop in November but I'm looking forward to it - I've got to have ribbons though otherwise she will kill me, might get a nice hair band or something.

Kamo and Hiya appeared and we then met up with Mamo-chan and we went and saw Corpse Bride which was really good and a lot of fun. Sudate by Burton's standards but with his usual array of dark humour and plot twists that make it a nice bitter sweet film and one I shall definately buy on DVD ^_^. Which makes three I shall be buying ^_^ Saw some cool trailers and I wanna see Narnia and HP4 cause they look great!

We had a good night out and lots of laughs and smiles which was even better. I drove Mamo and Kal home and got another quote of the week from both of them. Driving towards a round about the conversation went as such:
Mamo 'Straight over at the next round-about'
Me 'Okay'
Kal 'Well not straight over cause there's a big metal pole in the middle of it'
Mamo 'Well more around it then'
Kal 'Actually I can imagin Ryu going over the round about and just missing the big pole in the middle'
Mamo 'Yeah that would be sweet'
Mamo/Kal (can't quite remember who said it) 'I can imagin you as a Ralley Driver'
Me 'What? Hey my driving's not that bad!'
Kal 'No it's just we're imagining you missing the big pole in the centre of the roundabout'

I have strange friends.

Gets home and sorted out and goes to bed.

Sunday/today - get up when Dad yells at me that the Moto GP is on, watch the 125cc race and get a really bad headache so I go to my room to lie down and get rid of it and fall back asleep. Get woken up a second time by Dad to help mam out in the back garden and things are a bit scatty between the two of them. Help with getting the brambles chopped down and sorted before heading inside after mum tells me nicely to bugger off and leave her alone.

So I go in, make myself a sauage sandwich and watch the back-end of the Moto GP, Marco Maladri won and bless him he deserved it. He's never won a Moto GP class race and totally enjoyed it which was great. We then sat and watched Jarassic Park and Dad teased me about being scared of it, and hell yes I was terrified of it when I was seven and I still get the adrenerlin rush of fear over it cause it's a damn good movie. Amazingly though the bit with the raptor in the power box - when she turns on the electric fence - both my parents jump unexpectedly and I'm sitting there. I laugh my head off and tease them about it.

Then read Azumanga Dioah 4 to the end, don't know why I've been reading it recently but I just enjoy it and in a way I can see some of the bits in what we used to do - in a very odd way before anyone starts on me - so I think that's why I enjoy it. Had a bath and washed my hair, then had tea and watched the Moto GP race - we had not seen it earlier due to being out in the garden - and then followed it up with The Itlian Job and I'm so glad I did cause it's been a long long time since I actually watched it the whole way through. *starts singing 'We Are The Self Presentation Society' and wonders how many people will get annoyed at her for getting that song stuck in their heads*

After that I washed the dishes, put my tution fee payment form into my bank book to get paid tomorrow and then came online. Who this has taken me nearly an hour to do. Oh well, hopefull I'll update a bit more sporadically next week.

What a long weekend

Well heres a update for ya peeps

Thursday - got up a little late and did not do my scritping work but no big deal. Went to Uni and did an lecture of expressionism which was cool - found out that the batteries on my dicaphone were dead *rolls eyes* - and watched 'Man with a Movie Camera' which is quite a fun piece that was an experiment in it's time. (need to read theory stuff for that). Also finally got to find out about our Private Study option and found that it needed to be in by Monday. Eek! I decided to look into the process of getting a script produced and out into the world of the market place and what various agencies would expect of me to do. (yes I am determind to be a scripter/story-editor)

Went to work afterwards and ended up eating my sandwiches inside cause I wasn't going to sit in the car park by myself for an hour or so. Work was usual and came home, had tea and went to sleep.

Friday - got up eventually and tidied up. Did my Uni homework of my five minuet script called Bombs and Bullets and my private study proposal. Washed the floor and then went into town to hand in the study proposal at Uni and then go up to Heaton Park road to hand - well post - my script through Peter's door and then walk up to Heaton High Street to buy some heaton pies and then walk all the way back to Just Harleys where I had parked the car. The distance is equivalent to walking to the Big Shops/Manour Walks from mine to there and back again just to walk up to Heaton High Street. But it did me some good cause I hadn't done that length a walk for some time.

Came home and got sorted out and then went out to the Blues Brothers Party at City Hall and it was a really fun night. It was really nice to hear the songs from the movie and other ones that they did as well so it was fun. The first act was a little iffy but the second was cool and it was great cause the guy who was playing Elwood said at one point 'We're going to do a song from Blues Brothers 2000' and the whole place was silent. Bless him, they did '6345789' all the same and many people sang along which was good. What was even stranger though was at the end they sang a Beatles number and 'Show Me The Way to Amerilo' which isn't exactly Blues but it worked to a certain degree. A good night out

Saturday - got up and went to work for eight hours. Customers were being whingy gits big time and complaining over everything and one of them asked something that I couldn't deal with cause I didn't have anyone around or a system wasn't working and I asked politely if they could re-dial cause I wasn't able to help them as I was the only one in, they had the cheek to turn around and say 'So if I re-dial then I will just get to you' 'No what I was saying was that I'm the only person in my area at the moment but there are others in in different areas who I cannot transfer to so if you re-dial (it's a freephone number) then you'll get through to someone who can help you out'. Cheeky cow. People are starting to become really horrible and nasty pieces of work and expecting us to sort everything out when we can't.

One guy I had came through wanting to cancel his care on his account cause it had gone charable. Okay I check the systems and found that it had been charagble since August so I told him that I would not be able to cancel it cause it had been on the account to long and had to run for a minium of twelve months. He did his dinger over it and said that I could cancel it and that the T&Cs said that the care could be cancelled within the first 14 days of it being activated or after reciet of confirmation. I advised again that he could not cancell cause it has been on his account for two months. The guy was still unhappy and I enquired if he had checked his invoices over the last few months cause on there it would have told him he was getting charged for care. Sorta a bad mistake to believe that customers actully check their invoices for stupid things like that. He took on this all high and mighty attitude and said that it was our responsiblity to sort things out - even though he receives the invoices and should check them himself - and that if we didn't cancel then he was going to disconnect from orange. ??? Just cause he had to pay five pounds for care which means that he's covered against anything going wrong? Oh and the small fact that he got care free when he shouldn't have is another mystery. Did the only thing I could do which was to send an action off but I can gareentee that they will not cancel it.

Okay I'll stop ranting about customers now cuase I know you're getting bored. But it infruitates me to death cause they all think that they're in the right and granted about 50% are but the rest aren't and they can't seem to understand that! It was like one guy who was threatening to take us to offcom (the big phone people who regulate us) for him taking an offer through disconnections that would have given him a free bluetooth headset with the handset they gave him, the idiot suddenly didn't want the handset offered and refused delivery so it was sent back and went to retail to get a different handset. Now call my stupid but you would logically think that this would mean that since you declined the offer you no longer get the bluetooth headset correct? He didn't think so and said he had been told by someone in our company that if he went to retail then he might be able to get it through them. Did he ask retail about it? No...but yet he still wanted the headset. Told him no and he threatened with the Offcom thing and me and Jeff (SCA) were like they're not going to do anything cause you declined the offer.

Sorry....I will stop now

Came home and then drove Jess up to Hexam with my Mum and Dad to go and see 'Wallace and Grommit' at the Forum. That was so much fun! It's a really really really good film and you have to go and see it. Classic British comedy and satire with both the characters working so well. Go Arman Animation! Pity that the warehouse caught fire though.

Sunday - got up and had breakfast before Ahmed came round and we marathoned .Hack//sign. 10 hours worth. Oh my god...it was worth it. I forgot how much fun that series was and it was nice to finally see it all the way through in one language. Turned out I hadn't seen two of the episodes before which was a bit strange but still mega fun. It was also great seeing Ahmed's reaction to sequences ^_^

Finished that about 22:15 - we watched the extra eps and the first is good the second is strange as hell - cause we started roughtly at 12:15. Saw Ahmed off and then had a shower and went to bed.

Monday/Today - woke up and got dressed before walking up to the Big Shops to get some stuff - mainly batteries for my dicaphone - before coming back and doing the last two bits of my homework. Got my ten minuet film 'You Did What?' step outline first draft done and that's completely changed. Also got my pitch done for my feature length film, I've chosen to do Renegade Angel cause it seems like a good one to do and most people who read the ideas like it the best. Potcakes was a close contender but I chose Renegade after talking to Mam on Friday cause there was a lot of stuff out there which I can use.

Going to work tonight and then I full day at Uni tomorror. Going to walk the dog and then write something for WT.

Quote of the Day

Me: I was nearly killed by a Ka today
Mam: Really?
Me: Yeah, I was going down the coast road and where the Garage is there was a button blue Ka sitting on the end of the severons obviously waiting to pull out but I couldn't stop cause I didn't have the time to and when I'm almost on top of him he pulls out suddenly and drives off, I have to slam the breaks on and drop down a gear to stop myself getting killed and I yelled at him w***ker!
Mam: I know the hits of the year
Me: What?
Mam: I found a website where you can enter in 'Hit's of such-and-such a year' and you can get the top 100 songs of that year
Me: What the hell has that got to do with me nearly getting killed with by a blue Ka?
Mam: [bursting into laughter] I don't know
Me: [whilst laughing] Here's me talking about nearly getting killed or killing the stupid prat in the car and you suddenly start talking about music. Talk about the best random topic change ever
Mam: Well I just remembered it

Yeah I know strange but it makes me smile

A Slightly tamer post

Current mood: Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Well, since the last rather bouncy and strange post from me this ones more calmer basically cause I'm sleepy as hell and I really haven't done much different from what I did last week.

Quotes of the Week:
Monday - Lee (supervisor at work) 'Happy New Hair Day'
Tuesday - Me 'Some Bastards nicked my space'
Peter (Script Let) in ref to me going on about his dodgy post box 'Dodgy letter box? You've got to be kidding' then after finding out that it had caught my finger 'Oh yeah that'
Wednesday/Today - Laura (lass from the course) 'You've gone red, I like it'
Graham TS (also from the course) 'Wow you've changed'
- Loony Toons random ep 'Here's a close up of a frog croaking' Frog puts a gun to his head and kills himself

Monday -
Got up reasonably and sorted a couple of things out, got some scripting work done for Screenplay workshop and mooched around. Told myself to write some more of the WT stuff and this has still yet to pass. Went to work and got 45 mins off for a meeting about Your Deal which was boring but informative to a certain degree. Came home, washed hair and wondered why all this red dye was coming off my head and then remembered all the stuff that was on my scalp that needed to come off. Went to bed.

Tuesday -
Left early cause I needed petrol and got in nice and sharp, got caught in a little traffic cause of the rain - will leave out the drivers rant - but generally got along okay. Listened to the wind up on Tony Horn and had a good laugh. Went and bought a replacement themos flask - though I really don't think my parents have noticed - as the cleaners did not have it and there was no way I was going to hunt out security at all.

Get into class and start work, then realise I have forgotten to print of my stepoutline for my five minuet screenplay for the rest of the class. Go through the class and then have to come home from Uni to print them off. I am living proof that 'Sod's Law' exist. I'm going home and every set of flaming traffic lights turns red, I get stuck behind Astra's who can't drive (which now I am sure have a curse against me) and generally get annoyed. Get home, yell to Dad why I'm home, print off the documents and then head back to uni. Guess what? Absoultely nothing and I toodle along quite happily...annoyance annoyance annoyance. And to top it all off when I get back to my usual space some gits nicked it - hence the quote but imagin me empathising the bastard bit

Neeways get back to class in plenty of time and go through the options and come up with some good ideas and I have a tutorial next week for it which is quite cool. Drove to work and ended up sitting the Silverlink car park eating my sandwiches and listening to music before going to work. Work was reasonable and I sat writing a new idea down which involves me creating 162 characters. Trust me and don't ask.

Came home, had tea and fell asleep almost instantly.

Wednsday/Today -

Got up and went into Uni, the rain was still making them all drive like numptys. So I get in and make my way up to Screenplay, Laura and Graham were there and we went through ideas. Mine's changed so much I can barely recongise it but I think a good attack on Friday will sort that out into some form of order. Also understood why a lot of people were shifting off the 'Acting and Directing' option cause they have to work with the Performing Arts students and after doing two years of GCSE Drama I have a fair idea of how annoying that actually was.

Came home and had a bit of lunch, got a call from mam about ten minuets after I walked in asking why she had to call home and I had no clue. Turned out that my Gran had a bit of a mini stroak but is okay and is out of hospital after a check up. Watched a little Loony Toons with Dad - well more likely subjected him to it - and it was great cause it was 'Roadrunner' and one of the more adult ones which had me laughing.

Worked a little on my five minuet script for Peter and read up some theory. Heh I love my Key Concepts book ^_^ Mooched a little and then watched DS9 before going to work and talk about moronic. It was another horrible wednesday but I'm that used to them that it don't bother me much. Racheal didn't look that good though.

Came home, had tea, talked to mam about making a flyer for her and then came online.

There ya go, hopefully an update should appear reasonably aka sundayish

Bouncy Boncy!

Current mood: Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Well for some unknown reason the last few days I have been bouncy and happy and quite Chibi-like (Mamo-chan can probably be partially held responsible for that - or correction can confirm that I'm bouncy at any rate @Mamo BAWOONS!)

Neeways my week so far:

Monday - had a little lie in and then got up (heh I likes not having uni on a monday) and then started my scritping allocation for the day. Amazingly out of five old note books I came away with eight feature film ideas and about 8-10 shorts which I'm mega happy about. finished about two and then made a couple of emo's before going to work. Work was reasonable and I came home, had tea, a shower and then went to bed and had a really nice long sleep.

Tuesday - got up at 07:10 and got out of the house at 8:30. Traffic was a bit of a pain on the roundabout going up to the gosforth park but otherwise it was reasonable and I got in with time to spare. The lectures were a lot of fun and we got homework of getting ideas sorted and writing a step outline to be mailed to Peter on Saturay. Thank god I actually go home his way so on Sat I will be dropping in after the cinema trip and posting it through his door. Got out and get back to the car, realising I left my theromos flask in Uni. I think the cleaners have got it but I don't know yet.

Prior to leaving I went and did some shopping, got myself some new socks, a mysterious thing which I'm not going to tell you lot about (Chibi shut up cause you know what said mysterious thing links to) until the mysterious thing happens, made an appointment to get my hair trimmed cause it's a mess at the moment and bought some DVDs. Got Mam Miss Congenitaliy 1 & 2 and Dad Battle of Britian, got myself Not Another Teen Movie (sale price) and King of Bandits Jing which is amuzing though not the best in the world.

Got onto the Coast Road with no problems and got to work fine. Work was great cause I got fifteen minuets training at the start of my shift, then I was logged off for the last hour cause it was the team meeting and they had to give me an hour off cause it wasn't being held to 21:15 and I also got my tea bought for me. Came home, had a shower, quick check online and then went to bed and watched Jing first ep.

Today/Wednesday - got up at 7:00 cause mam didn't want to be woken up, got sorted and was out of the house at 8:00. Thank god I was cause they were driving like morons and it took me an hour and fifteen minuets to get into town and parked. That's rediculas. And I can't spell so what. Went throgh screen play lecture and today it was fun cause we were talking over our ideas and Sam really liked mine which has got me even more bouncier.

Drove home and have mooched generally for the last few minuets. Going to work tonight and I get to come home at 8:30 cause I won an hours offline time and haven't used it yet. Still Wheeeeeee!

Okay, me and Chibi are going to go and play with bawoons. ^_^

Actually remembers to post

*reminds self not to hit the keyboard randomly when posting next time*

Anyway, I have finally gotten around to updating. Should have done it earlier but been busy recently as usual.

Thursday and Friday weren't really that productive, generally slept in and got up, went to work and sorted out other stuff at home. On Friday I did go and see Ryouk or summat like that - she's a lady who mixes Heavy Metal with the Nortumbrian Pipes - I would not recommend her. Bless her PA system was shot to hell but she could not sing (she murdered Metalica) , looked appauling (so much so that her stylist needed to be shot) and though she could play the pipes they were no match for heavy metal and it just did not work.

Hopefully Kal and Kamo didn't scare too many newbies off at Kendo. On a plus side though me and Kallers are going to see 'Little Shop of Horror's' on November 11th which I'm looking forward too ^_^

Saturday was okay, work was pretty fun and I would recommend peeps to read Battle Royal (the book not the manga) cause it's mega cool and interesting just make sure you don't read it when you're alone cause it messes with your head and can make you think that your friends are out to kill you (or it could have been my imagination going haywire after sorting out my scripting books for uni). Came home and watched the Moto GP (Dad recorded it) and wow that was such a cool race! Rossi won but it was a fight the whole way!

Sunday - got up and went to Wallington Hall with my parents, wheee for winning freebies. The grounds are great and the house nice and dandy which is so cool. They had a room deicated to Dolls Houses and I completely forgot how much I like them. Don't look like that, I used to love Doll's houses when I was younger and I still have a reministent liking for them now. If I get my own place I might buy one in the future or if I have a girl then I will definately get her one. At Mamo-chan 'BAWOON!'

Okay random chibi ryu over. Came back after tea and went to the first NAMS meet. Watched ZOE I Dolo and forgot how much I enjoyed that. Popped round to Kamos and borrowed Battle Royal (film) off him but haven't watched it yet. Came back, talked to parents for a while and then went online. Hotmail played up a bit hence why I wasn't logged on and got talking to Baka, Mamo (again BAWOON) and Nashi which was really great.

Also heard that Chibi has signed up for Teakwondo (or however the damn things spelt) and I forgot to call her last night, bugger it! Oh well.

Heh going to make a little current mood icon and then get back to scripting work for today.
