I did it again and belated MERRY CHRISTMAS

heh another long update due but I don't mind, it's something fun to do while I'm not at work - gotta love Bank Holidays - and I've just finished off two pieces of corsework so I is more than happy.

Wednesday - got up a little late (that's becoming quite a pattern of late) but no one really minded. Mooched and did some Uni work on my scripts and theory and pratted on with Dad. Went to work dressed as a fairy cause it was a fancy dress day at work and it was a lot of fun. We did have some others dressed up - Ann-Marie was a Dark Angel, Kim was Mrs Clause having a bad hair day, someone was an elf with curly shoes, Ritch (Team Leader) was Santa in a old beer version and we also had Barry Bear (another TL) and a Scooby-Doo wandering round. Yes we're a wierd lot but it wasw worth it and I got free food as well.

Come home, sort myself out before calling Nashi to say that I'm on my way. The responce I got was pretty impressive quote=Nashi: "Have I locked you out again?". What made it funny was that just before I had called I had commented to Mum about something always going wrong when I went to round to hers - inc the New Year when I was locked out until I called someone and said let me in.

Anyway I get to Nashi's and get in with no hassel and it was a real fun night. I had forgotten how mad we could all be when we joined together. Gave out and receieved presents and ended up playing Buzz half the night which was fun thought I got hammered on the first game and then won the second one by chance. A very good night and Dad was quite surprised when I got home at one in the morning ^_^

Thursday - got woken up by Dad at 12 cause I was meant to be taking him to Royal Keys. Got sorted and out and I drive there reasonably well - I might organise a trip to wet and wild in the summer - only double checking directions occassionally. Get there and the place is dead which was a surprise and a half for both me and my Dad. Got the stuff and then went for Fish and Chips which was yummy and cool.

Driving home was fun cause I went on one of my old learner routes and Dad turned around to me after about ten minuets and said "You know you haven't asked me for directions in a while" I learnt to drive round that bit so I know it off by heart. ^_^ heh that was fun

Got home and I mooch, play noline and watch telly before going to work and reading through one of my treatment books cause it allowed me to do Treatment and Private Study Corsework all in one.

Came home and had tea before going online till 1 again which was a little daft and I still feel sorry for mam cause its all going wrong and so I'm giving her a lot of hugs and glomps to cheer her up. (heh normally I would have started work by now 17:30)

Friday - was up at Nine to take Dad to the Big Shops/Manor Walks to get some stuff and we had a laugh driving around again as usual. Came back and cleaned the house as as we do and I learnt how to empty the hover. I did know previously but this is the new one I'm talking about.

Once we finished that, we sat and watched Babe Pig in the City which is a bizzar film if I ever saw one. Quite fun though as me and Dad were finding different ways to kill the singing mice cause they ketp getting on our nerves. Mam came in and we all got ready to go out. Nashi, Chibi, Boston and Mamo appearaed and we went to see Limehouse Lizzy. I love them to bits and the show was great as usual and really fun. They did some good pieces and really got the whole place moving and me, Chibh and Mamo ended up spending half the night playing air guitar (and air drums for Mamo). What can I say, it's cool music and really worth it. I actually forgot how inspirational the songs were and I think I shall listen to them again when I'm trying to do some creative stuff. And I got a pic of me with the singer! *melt and drool*

Oh yeah, don't ever buy me strongbow cause it don't agree with me and I'll be sick. Went out like a light at 1:30am.

Saturday - got up at 8:10 amazingly and sorted myself and the dog out before goign into work with little problem. The team across from me are playing with a variety of noisy things so it was quite nosiy and fun. I went through the day playing through one of my fighting fantasy books and ended up going round and round in circles for half and hour before quitting. Got home, watched some TV and then went to bed knackard (if you're wondering I wrote this at work so that was a today post which I had to edit a little)

Christmas Day - got up at 8:20 which is reasonable for me and went to get my parents up. Sweep went into hyperactive mode and spent about ten minuets attacking us. We went downstairs and Santa had been.

Christmas morning was sedate but so much fun. I got a lot of really nice things hich books, DVDs, a sushi set, clothes, socks, Buzz, Dr.Who Tardis box set, bags and chocolate. It was fun seeing my parents receiving their presetns. Dad particaully liked his Jess Plushi (ironically I got a Postman Pat and Jess figure set) and they both liked the money I gave them.

Watched 'Antz' whilst Snowy was in the wash cause her new big brother was whiter and then got washed and dressed in my new gear. Took dog for a walk and then spent ten muinuets with the family playing out in the field in front of mine and she managed to knack her new frisby.

Kept getting texts for Tiger during the day and watched Shrek and Toy Story 2 during Chrismtas Finner and I helped butter the Turkey Crown which was icky stick fun to do. Washed the dished and then checked online and recieved Kedar [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Ryuichi_/KedarMountainLord.jpg[/IMG] as a secret santa from Baka and he's so cute and cool and will add to my rping greatly. went back downstairs and watched 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' on DVD. Went to bed with a bit of a headache but it was worth it.

Boxing Day - wake up at 11:40 after a really good sleep and went downstiars to watch a little telly. Got washed, dressed and took the dog for a walk with Mam and bless she really does need a proper relaxing weekend which Dad suggested we do for her birthday. Went online for an hour or so and the mooched for a while before introducing Mam to Buzz. That was so funny and Mum had a lot of fun playing. If you really want to confuse yourself I siggest that you and a mate play buzz but take control of two buzzers. It confuses you something rottern but gives you twice the guessing potential.

Watched telly, had tea and went into work from 8-12 with call cques and other such things. Came home, went online till 2 and then went to bed.

Bank Holiday/Today - got up reasonably and went downstiars where I had breakfast and then got sorted before taking the dog for a walk. Cleaned my room cause it looked a bit of a mess and then attempted to get online for an hour to try and get some uni work done. No luck at all and after about fifty minuets of trying I learn from Tiscali that BT are having problems. So I get my corsework done and then try it for a laugh and it works!! Wheeee

Heh and that's that.

I haven't done this in a long while

Well I know I haven’t updated in a while but it’s not been my fault, I’ve been busy. Still I’m writing this offline and then posting it up once it’s done cause I’m sitting here doing uni corsework again but it’s editing my scripts which is mucho fun ^_^

Neeways

Monday – went to the big shops to get stuff I needed, did a little uni work, watched telly and went to work and learnt that my team was being dissolved after that night which was a bit of a shock but you have to go with the flow I suppose. Came home and went to bed.

Tuesday – got up early and drove mam to Ashington cause her car’s still not fixed yet and went back into uni to get work and book tutorial with Ian. Went home, washed windows, wrapped up presents for my friends and wrote out the cards. Went to work and onto my new team which is quite cool cause my old team is with me and I know the coaches well enough. Came home, had tea and went to bed.

Wednesday – got up and caught the bus into Uni – remembered why I don’t go on the buses in the mornings anymore – and went through the tutorial with Ian and I just need to tidy up Reactions a little which should be okay. Came home about 10:30/10:45 and went for a little nap and woke up at 2pm. Got up, mooched before going to work. Came back, went to Nashi’s thinking it was her Christmas do and not next wed. I get there and Andy says that she’s gone to the cinema. I’m not too pleased with this and go home. Later learn that she meant this coming Wed – though it does not say that in the text – and she owes me a couple of drinks. Went to bed feeling totally knackard.

(Going to go and do an little more uni work again)

Thursday – got up a little later than what I wanted to but still had plenty of time to sort things up. Wrapped up Grans present and checked my e-mails to find out that my finale lecture has been cancelled and I’m finished Uni. WOOT!

Go with parents to Morpeth and I forgot how to get to the round-about (I was driving) and end up in playful banter with parents over things. Go to Tony’s and have a real nice Christmas dinner. Came home and go with Mam to get the Christmas Tree. We’re in my car and the guy kindly carries the tree to my car, puts it in and manages to knock my rear-view mirror off. So we end up driving home, stuck between the tree, with mam holding onto the mirror to stop it flapping around and only the real use of my drivers side wing mirror. Thank god I knew those roads well enough.

Got home, put the tree in the back, spent half-hour fixing the rear-view and we managed it after I inisit that the cover can come off which was good. Thankfully Dad was asleep throughout this. We then put the tree into the stand, using a bit of creative force i.e bashing it was a brush and slamming it in. Get that done and up, have a cuppa, watch Futurama and go to work. Come home, have tea and go to bed.

Friday – got up a little late but parents didn’t really mind. Did the Christmas Clean up – cause the Blitz is coming sometime in the New Year – and spent and hour and a half sorting out my room and making it look all pretty and nice. Finishied the rest and then helped put up the Christmas decorations – actually I think it was the other way round, in fact it was but I was writing this at work so forgive. I chilled for a little while and then Gran came around for tea, so we had a Christmas meal which was really nice and yummy and watched a little of Brassed Off. Dad gave me a lift to Kendo in my car cause I was going out for a drink afterward.

Met Kal and went through a pretty good session of Kendo – bar I forgot what Keigao was and my back started going as well which really didn’t help at all. But still much fun. We then all went out for a Christmas drink at the Carriage and I came up with a pretty classic line when ordering a glass of wine for Kal (I was closest to the bar). ‘Can I have a house of glass wine please?’ I was not drunk at the time and was only half-way through my pint of Cider and Black. The guys at the bar thought it was funny though and I’ll probably get remembered for it.

Left the Carriage and went to Kamo’s to get Christmas present and I got a Guardian Dragon! Called Mam, went home and to bed.

Saturday – somehow out of bed and to work on time, work was reasonable and it was a laugh in a way. Came home, had tea, went online till Dad called – he was out on the town – waited till they got home and then went to bed.

Sunday – was woken up at 9:10 cause my parents needed help with Sky cause it had gone off. Went back to bed and woke up sometime after twelve, took some time to get sorted and ready to go out. Went to the opera house to see the panto of Babes in the Wood. Quite funny and a good laugh but not the best I’ve seen – mind they had only just done a performance before the one we saw so they were all knackard. However the kids went nuts at the ‘behind you’ scene with the Spiders and Brenden Helily, Maxi and Mitch’s version of the Twelve Days of Christmas was funny, almost as funny as the one we saw at Cinderella over ten years ago with things going wrong all over the place which really made it work. (Still scary to think it was ten years ago though)

Afterwards we went to Pizza Hut and I paid which was quite fun and it was tasty. Once we had that we went to the cinema and saw Naria. Such a cool film with lots to keep you interested and great characterisation. One that in the future I will enjoy watching on Christmas Eve. Came home, walked the dog and went to bed.

Monday – got up and went in early to get some theory books cause I hadn’t got them previously. Came back by bus and then went to have a little nap. I woke up at 3 but in my defence I had the start of a cold so I slept it off. Woke up, mooched a little with Dad, drove to work, pratted on with the team and nearly got the chance to win a Bopit game but someone else got the ticket annoyingly. Came home, had tea, checked things online and went to bed.

Tuesday/Today – got up at 10 and took the dog for a walk to the little shops to get my board and I needed a couple of highlighters for my books for theory. Came back, nabbed breakfast, been doing my script editing to the next drafts and I’ll probably look again at them tomorrow. Got work tonight and still need to wrap up my parents presents. Oh well.

And that’s it ^_^ Hopefully they’re should be as long an update between the next one. Hopefully.

Long update that's overdue

I know I know, I've got a long update to do but I've been busy recently and don't have much strength. I'm going to pop the Sunday update on here and then it'll be bout monday before I'm back online to really update anymore.

Sunday - got up and went to a Guide Christmas Meeting and OMG I totally forgot how much fun that used to be. It was a major part of my life and to look back on it was amasingly great. It was also quite a laugh going around with Ashley looking at the old photo's and remembering so many different things. I kinda wished I could go back to young Leader's and my Brownie group again but there would be no way I could do it all which is a shame. But I can always consider it in the future if I want something to do - just this time as a leader which would be quite scary.

Hehe there ya go ^_^ Short, sweet but good. Now to start the Christmas Night's out...yipeeeeeee!

...

Well ... would describe the last week perfectly I think.

Tuesday - got into Uni okay and went through my tutorial with Peter over Angleus and discovered that he couldn't find my ten minuet script so I'll be going in sometime to get that (possibly monday) and sorting through all that stuff. Realised that I had forgotten about the afternoon so went and did some shoppingfor peeps b/days. Still need to get my Dads but Mum will help me with that. Came home and ended up talking to Mam on the phone cause I needed to find a way to the Hyundai Garage which then turned out later that Dad knew the way to already. So I get some work done and then Mam calls to say that third gear has gone on her car after some stoned out twit forced her to do an emergency stop. So she got to Grahams and everything seemed okay. Later on we get another call saying that she's got out of work and the whole gearbox has gone other than first gear. Hence forth Mam's car is being fixed and we're all sharing. I go to work and Mum had warned me about the traffic on the Moorfarm due to an accident so I go the long way round to avoid it. Work was reasonble and I come home and go to bed.

Wednesday - got up, gave mam a lift to work, went in for my tutorial with Ian, came home, watched a little telly, fell asleep on the sofa, woke up, took the dog for a walk and then went to work. Came home, stayed up watching Scarface and wow, YOU MUST SEE IT!. Went to bed.

Thursday - got up, sorted out a couple of things, went into Uni early for a tutorial at 11. Sarah Evans on the course goes in for an hour from 10:30 and then another guy goes in, someone pops they're head around the door and I say I'm here and Noel forgot about me! So I got through a quick ten minuet tutorial about my essay and I think I'm about set with it. Then I go into my Theory Letcure about Japanese Anime. I kid you not we actually did a theory lecture on it and I'm doing my Theory Essay on anime as well! Wootage! And I never actually realised this (a random bit of theory that might interest some people) but even though a lot of anime girls are highly fetishised and rather sexy they actually drive a hell of a lot about the plot lines or in the case of Horrors are the evil creatures causing the mess. *sticks tongue out at people* I thought it was kinda cool.

Went to work after that and another reasonable night, came home and went to bed.

Friday - woke up a little late but Dad didn't mind cause I was tired and he knew it. Cleaned the top part of the house whilst listening to Metropolis and Spirited Away cause Dad was asleep and I didn't want to wake him. Had breakfast, put away the clothes, mooched cause I really couldn't get myself motivated to do uni stuff - correction I went and got some Theory work - and when mam came back I headed out to meet up with Kallers and go to Kendo. Kallers couldn't stay cause she had a lot of work to do *pets and huggles Kal and reminds her not to overstress herself* but it was still fun. Piled round to the boys and since Hiya's leaving before I can see him next week I got my Christmas Present early which was a Dr.Who 2006 Calendar which I think is pretty nifty.

Went to Kendo and boy that was such a fun lesson. True I spent half of it trying to re-tire my Men but it's getting there. Enshin was great fun and I scoured a Men point on Bo! I know it don't sound like much but Bo is a Korean student (or at least from around that area) is mega quick and really good and a much higher grade than me and I scoured a point against him which was so cool. Course he got me back on the second round and meant the last kote cut but I was joking around with him afterwards. Came home after that and chatted to Mam before going online for a little while and then to bed.

Saturday/Today - got up, headed into work and my god it has been an evil day. Seven hours of non stop calls with customers whinging on at you for no reason, people who dont know how to use phones or understand contracts, terms and conditions and the small bloody fact that we have only just brought out this promotion so no you cannot go to the highest band straight away cause it's not fair on other people!

Yes a very evil day cause they were all complaining. But to top it all off I had a bloody stupid Dealer from a retail shop that uses a number in it's title and is not a rival company either complaining at me that his customers phone wasn't disconnected though he had supposedly requested it in June. There was nothing on the account at all and even the disconnections team couldn't find anything and this guy hadn't even called to querry his invoices. The git then had to cheek to say he was writing to correspondence and saying that orange were an appauling service. Guess which shop I'm never going into.

Well there you go, long rant over. *sighs*

Came home, Mam had tea on the go and we got to watch Wallace and Grommit which made me smile. Had a nice long bath after washing the dishes and I'm going to play online now to chill out.

gah

well that was an interesting weekend...

Friday Night - Kendo was pretty damn fun, though Kallers didn't get into Enshin Shia (Piggy in the middle) and had a nightmare with the armour so now we've agreed that we're going to get there early just to ensure that we get the right one for her and she don't end up pregant. I also won a match against Mark which was quite good though he got Kote before me which was surprising but a laugh. Kal came up with some great quotes on the way home as I was driving again:

Whilst listening to a song 'Ah it's take me to the clouds above, I thought it was powder puff' *chuckles*

Random convo we were having 'We have a good driving relationshop, we talk on nicely, have a laugh and yell at the bastard with the Halogen Lights'

Don't ask me but it was fun.

Saturday - work was annoying cause it was a little busy and customers were just being twitty all the shift. About 20% were really nice and stuff but the other 80% were driving me mad. Came home and mooched with Parents for a while, complaining and feeling very very tired. Went online to write up some stuff and ended up going to bed at 1am. Not the best idea in the world but ya know it was mega mega fun.

Sunday - I wake up at 4am after having a very strange dream where five line circles were spinning around in constantly changing colours and feel abosolutely horrible. Half-an-hour later I'm still trying to get back to sleep and realise that it's a migrain cause I ended up being horribly sick and unwell. I cool myself off and get back to sleep somehow. Woke up at 11 or 12, headed downstairs and my parent's first comment about me is that I look like death warmed up. I tell them about the migrain and Dad enquires why I didn't wake them up. I point out that at 4am not even th dog woke up when I was loudly being sick so there was no point. It was a laugh but I do not ever want one of those things again.

Have breakfast a little while later, get washed and dressed, take the dog for a walk and then watched the first disc of Yami and I really do like that series. Though I'm a little lost and confused with it but I honestly don't care...probably have to wait a little before I watch the rest of it though. Also finished 'Lady Snowblood' which is a manga I purchased the other week and that's cool. Got nudity and a little sex in it but generally she kills those characters before it gets anywhere and a hell of a lot of blood and gore but it's so cool. I want the next one but I don't think it's out yet.

Went out with Mam to take a cake to Gran's, came back, went online for a little, went and had tea and watched the back end of Dr.Strangelove, another excellent film that I would recommend if you get the chance to watch it. Came back online and went to bed at 10.

Monday/Today - got up, walked dog, changed washing over, had breakfast, came upstairs and did a little uni work and then came here to update. Got a lecture resched today so I'm leaving in about an hour for that and then work as normal.

Well that's that.

Friday, December 02, 2005

Back to work

Well the last few days have been interesting.

Tuesday - got up and headed into uni, traffic was nice and steady which was really quite cool and nice for flipping once. Get in on time for the first time in weeks and went through the film pitch. It went okay, could have gone better but not bad for my first attempt which I'm happy about. Mooched for an hour in the libary - or was it two I forget - and did yet more research for Angelus cause I had to change the setting (still need to sort that all out like, I'll do it in a bit) cause I had to have a two page synopsis in for friday. Then mooched around and did the last bit of my christmas shopping so that's all clear now cept cards and birthday presents but they'll get sorted out over the next week or so. Went back and went through my tutorial for the ten minuet and found that I needed to trim it up and tidy pieces but that wasn't too bad. Went to work after that and quite an okay night, wrote out the plot of Angelus in 20 steps - true I only got 18 done but at least it was done to there. Came home, had tea and went to bed.

Wednesday - was up, out of the house on time and all sorted out. Had a slight arguemtn with the traffic but not quite as bad as usual though I wish they would put the road works back on at Gosforth cause it made life a little easier. But can't always have what you want. Went in for a tutorial for fifteen minuets and then came home. Went to sleep from 10 - 1 cause I was still knackard. Got up and did my uni work. Read up on my theory, did the first re-draft of Space Adventures (and accidently titled it wrong so I couldn't find it earlier on) and got the first part of the synopsis done. Went to work and typical wednesday but I got through it fine and dandy. Came home, checked things online and then had tea cause parents had gone out and went to sleep.

Thursday - got up though I still felt a little tired and went to buy seleotape to get the presents wrapped up which is this sundays task. Headed to uni and filled Jess up, and got in with no problems. The lecture was really quite fun, about animation and the art house stuff which I'm highly interested in and I think my essay is going to be on it. Watched Ghost in the Shell for the first time and I really enjoyed that film in a big and happy way. I'm going to buy it when I get the chance next and sit and watch it again cause it's just so much fun and Manga got the dubbing right for flipping once (*doesn't usually like manga dubs*)and wheeee I just love it. Next weeks Theory is on Japanese Anime: Gender and Violence so it should be quite fun considering we've got a few anime fans in the group. Went to work afterwards and caught up with Ahmed after two weeks which was great fun and got down a load of basics for one of my stories that is going to be written as a collab. Need to get the other one done but shouldn't be too hard or bad. Work was usual and if people don't start reading that bloody advert for the 10% off line rental properly I'm going to scream soon. Came home, had tea, chatted to mam and then went online till half-twelve.

Friday/today - got up at 10:10 and for some unknown reason thought it was saturday and that I was late for work. Then my brain actually woke up and reminded me that it was Friday. I snooze for another twenty minuets and then get up and get dressed to start cleaning the house out. Got it all nice and pretty which I'm happy about and then made myself and Dad breakfast. Once that was done I came upstairs, finished the synopsis and checked the re-draft of Space Adventures and then printed both of them out. Then came online.

Got Kendo tonight after I've put thestuff through Peter's door and now I'm going to mooch for a little while and get some other stuff done...possibly after a shower and a change of clothes...
