Super Happy ^_^

Well Ryu is really happy with herself at the mo, I'm going for my Ikkyu Grading! I got the confirmation on Friday and I cannot wait for it ^_^ It's March 12th so I've got some tough pratice sessions ahead of me but still should be fun. The only real thing is that Kendo Sparing and Grading are two seperate things and it's going to be interesting. See Sparing it's all about getting the point whilst Grading it's all about getting the cuts right and it don't matter that you miss the point as long as you do it all correctly. I've got to learn my Kata - so I'll pull Darren up about that when I'm there the week after next cause I'm at London next week.

Today work was pretty okay and went by quickish which was nice, Mam's ill unfortunately with the shakes which isn't nice and there seems to be all sorts of things going on.

Waiting for some mates to get online and then battel plans can be made and I cannot wait to go back to Uni on Monday - even if it's just to hand stuff in but it means I'm back at uni!!!!! Wheeeeeeeee - yes I'm strange but :p

Coursework

Well over the last three days I've been hammering down on my Uni coursework - don't look like that it's due in on Jan 30th. And I'm quite enjoying writing a treatment for Angelus Eviligo (I still need to put that picutre in a frame sheesh) and it's actually quite strange how much stuff there is for something that's only 90 mins long. ^_^ So yes getting there with that and about a third through on writing the plot up which I'm happy about.

Been getting up early and having full days recently cause they are more fun and allow for better prodcutive time which is really handy and helpful once agian. Can't wait to get back to uni next week.

My exma's appearing to be on it's way back, which I'm not too happy about but I'll head to the Doc's sometime soon and get that sorted out I suppose. *sticks some music back on and goes to get post to shut the dog up*

^_^ don't cha just love payday when it comes around ^_^

And now I've got Thunderbird Are Go on - as in the Powerthemes mix up and not the Busted version.

Need to go shopping for b/day presents and does anyone know what Nashi is doing for her birthday?

Heh going to mooch a bit, then take Dog for a walk, have some lunch and go from there.

Fun weekend

Well time for an update which I'm looking forward to writing ^_^

Friday - cleaned the house up, watched TV with Dad and then went to Kendo. A mucho fun lesson with everything going pretty good and fine which I seriously enjoyed and I could be going for my Ikku (First Que) grading in March (contining that a certain someone sends me the information before I kill him) which would be pretty cool ^_^ For those that don't know it would put me just below a Dan grade. Oh Kal I'm calling you tomorrow about it

Saturday - went to work and had a pretty good day sorting everything out and having a fair old laugh about everything. Everyone was telling me to go for the grading and I will which is going to be fun. Went to a Whities Do afterwards and spent half the night dancing away with my cousins Sarah, Hollie, Abby, Franceska and their mates which was so cool and fun. I swear that the Whities are mad and the next one you all going to be invieted to meet my extended family - well Second - ninth/tenth cousins or something like that lol

today - went around the car sales with parents and sat in a Hyundia Cope and I so want one. I think that it's going to be my next car which will be cool. *dreams* Also just finished watching ROTK full extended and a hell of a better film than the first version...though they leave out Sharky the Sparky with Wriggely attacking Lillyput (let's see if Kal remembers that) still which is a bit of a shame but can't be helped.

Well that's it, going to go and play on internet now

Set of really freaky dreams....

I warn you now that this is a random update but it's been a while since I've properly remembered a pair of nightmares - yeah Ryu-chan doesn't usually get nightmares but then gets two in one night which is not fun.

First one:

Sorta a very strange version of Battle Royal (even though I have not read/watched it for a long time).

Me and a bunch of kids - who I believe to have been all of us just about aged ten and living in a bording school for some strange reason - were trapped on this boat in the middle of the ocean and had been told that we had to kill off the other children in order to get off it. Okay so that was livable with...the only problem was that the children who were killed came back as zombies and killed anyone they got their hands on *shudders and hides*. So somehow we had all survived and had hidden in a cabin on the top part of the ship and locked the door and barred the windows (this sounds like Night of the Living Dead now) and were sitting there waiting for the game to finish cause there was something inside us all that would go bomb and kills us if there was a group left at the last few minuets.

We were sitting there, listening to the zombies trying to get in and talking quite happily when suddenly this pair of zombie arms reached down and grabbed hold of me and started to drag me through the ceiling. I remember screaming in terror in my dream but then woke up, blinked and couple of times and fell back asleep. T_T

Then the second dream had us all working in this very strange circus where we had to perform a series of strange acts that reveloved around some strange ritual but it completely evades my mind as to what it was related to. We had gone through loads of rehersels and other things and it was coming to the opening night and for some reason none of you were talking to me and shying away and I couldn't work out why. When we started someone - can't think who - appologuised to me and said that they hadn't intended it to get this far or bad. The show started with all the various things and I was announced as the sacrifice for the finale. I can't quite remember what happened then cause I was suddenly back in the rehersel again being taught how to appear dead and lifeless before being placed into a time machine that would bring me back...I woke up from that one a little confused and freaked out.

Hopefully you don't all think that I'm insane or mad but that's what happened in my dreams...for some reason my nightmares seem to have a very boaty theme to them or an amusement park/circus thing...that's very disturbing.

Erk

Can't think of much else to really say about the last six days.

I've had my hair re-dyed again today so I'm back to being a full red head WOOT and I watched The Two Towers fully extended on sunday which is such a better film.

Saw Memories of a Geisha on Saturday with Mam after work and such a cool film. A bit of a emotional battle and not-hollywood style at all but still well well worth it and a load of fun and joy ^_^ Go and See it!

Kinda slacked off a little on my uni work but that's back on priority and will get the plot done by the end of this week at the latest. Need to lend Tiger Azumanga 3 and watch Naruto ep 2 and Yami Disc 2...sheesh

Mam's started Uni now which is going to be fun and lifes going okay.

Heh and that's all folks

A series of Hyundai Adventures

Before you ask the reason it does not say Mini Adventures is the small fact that I do not drive a Mini but drive a Hyundai so I thought it would fit a lot better. Yes I know that I'm seriously weird but there again if you didn't know that before then I'm worried.

Well lets see I've had two little adventures with handing in my coursework.

Monday - I'm up early and ready to go and hand my theory in, it's the first day to work for a lot of people and it's a monday so I decide to play it safe and go driving down the A1 and then through Haymarket to get to Collage Street and around to my usaul car parking space. I get there within twenty minuets of leaving which I'm happy about and head towards the top of Stowel Street. It's blocked off cause somethings gone bang and their's fire engins, a small fire visible and police tape. So I turn back around and head up the ajoining road thinking (well forgetting) that I could get round to the haymarket from that way. So I go down to the bottom of Westgate road, turn down the road that leads to The Opera House, then realise that I can't get back to Haymarket this way, end up going past Flares and the bottom end of the Big Market, turn left at the 55o degress roundabout, end up driving through a no car zone accidentally, spot the Holiday Inn and get onto the roundabout that I need to use to get to Heaton. And amazingly I did that all in ten minuets which was exceptionally good considering I wasn't 100% sure where I was going and was amazed when I found my way out. What made it a little worse was the fact that everyone was driving like complete and total morons cause they're all complaining that they have to go back to work. Boohoo, get used to it.

So I park up, get into Uni, hand in my Theory Essay before the alloated time but no one really minds just as long as it's in. Head back and end up meeting Mark and David and chat to them for a bit before getting back to the car and deciding that I'll head back the usual way cause it's after elven and it won't be so bad. Ha, I couldn't have been any damn wrong. The roads were teming and they were all driving like a bunch of complete and total *********. I'm heading towards The Blue House Roundabout - the one before you get on the road that leads to Haymarket - and I'm stuck behind a van with a trailer. Fine, I'm keeping back cause this things a pair of wheels with a box bouncing around on top and looking rather unsteady. I pull up to the round-about and go into the correct lane, the stupid van goes into the one next to me. Fine. It's clear so we both go, him ahead of me. For some unknown reason the guy slows down or shifts or does something and I just see his trailer coming towards me. I have to drive pratically on the roundabout - which luckily I didn't cause I was going slow enough to get close to it with little hassel - to try and avoid it and I hear this scht noise. I get home and find the bugger has stratched it, git. It's not bad and nothing to worry about cause she's got a fair few scratches as is anyway. But still the twat must have saw me clearly in his mirrors, indicating that I was going right. Dad said he should have been in the other lane so it was all his fault. If it had been my Coupe (my future car) then I would have been yelling the house down but Jess is okay with it all.

Tuesday/Today - well I forgot that I had set my alarm when I went to sleep last night and I nearly sleep in but luckily wake up at 9:50. So I leg it around the house, get everything sorted and then get in the car and drive. Hardly any problems getting in, though i'm sweating like a pig, bar a stupid prat at South Gosforth Roundabouts pulling out too far to see past the other cars and completely ignoring me. He got the horn blared at him but wasn't even playing attention as I had to sweve out of his way. Stupid idiotic prat! I get into Uni and hand in all of my work and then go and check where the private study had to go in. Find out that I've accidentally handed it in at the wrong place and time but I'm not too fussed cause I can send an e-mail to Brian and tell him (which has been done) and I've still got the recite so if I get told off I can prove that I've handed it in.

So between prats driving, me sleeping in and then putting work in at the wrong place it has definately been an Hyundai adventure.

And parents are talking to each other and it's all blown over which I'm happy about

hehe

well things are getting better which I'm glad about - getting about 50% convo with my parents between them which is a very good sign and I'm getting on with my work which is mucho great!

Thanks to everyone who said not to worry and wheeeee

work tonight was pretty hetic and annoying but nevermind and some guy driver really made me smile by annoying some prat who had been annoying me by driving right up my tail with his 'go-faster-lights' on. lol we both just stuck to the speed limit and it was really annyoing him and then the daft git turned off only one before the A19 into a 20 zone. The total plonker.

Paid off my Monsoon account today and got my review back of my theory essay so I can get the done and sorted out tomorrow. Got to do a little more work on my private study but that shouldn't be too bad.

I think I'm going to create some stuff tonight and hopefully the gaian's will get on cause I need to check stuff out with them
