Science vs Romance and other random things
# 30 October 2006 22:03
Sooo, Saturday night was Science vs Romance's first gig, at the Flapper. Which is co-incidently the first place I saw Mr Allan's old band, Far From Silence. But yes anyways it was pretty awesome. Good to hear them play live at last.
Almost got lost in Brum on the way from Snow Hill station though, LOL. It was all good fun though.
Today I had a managers meeting (even though it is my week off) about this silly training day we have next week. But this morning Ad texted me saying the meeting was cancelled... Only to text me later to say it was back on again. lol
Made a right tit of myself by saying Safety instead of Service for QSC, lol... Such a n00by thing to do, I get the feeling I'll never live that down. haha. My excuse is that I am in week-off mode. :P
Othere than that not much else is going on, but to summarise:
* Have the strange urge to go shopping, even though I have no money. Will prolly do that tomorrow.
* Still single. And guys at the moment are just confusing me, so I dunno really what's going on in that department.
* Was promoted to Co-Forum Manager at JPLegacy, woo! So that's pretty cool. Well, I think so.
* Got a payrise at work, at last. :P
* Have to work a shift down at the other Maccies in Kidder next week so that'll be fun. Erm. lol
* Got a night out in that lovely Brummie place up there! 2nd December I shall be on Broad Street making a drunken fool of myself with people from work. Hoping to meet a few people I know off MySpace too, so it should be cool. Then I have an 8 til 4 the next day... hahaha! Classic.
Anyways, that'll be all for now, I think.
'til next time...
Andy

10 Statements
# 02:24
Write 10 statements for different people.
Don't say who each one is intended for.
(gotta love copy and paste from Word. Sorry about the mess)
1. You are a good person, and you need to stop being so hard on yourself. I'm still your friend if you want me to be, but you have to realise that it's not going to be more than that. I know that may be hard for you to hear, and I honestly don't want to hurt you, but it's just not going to happen.
--> -->2. You are an amazing girl. For someone I only know from online and a few telephone calls we have been through a lot together. You're always there to help me when I need it and I'm eternally grateful for that. I definitely owe you big time.
--> -->3. A lot of the past five years has all been your fault. So it's a good job I've enjoyed it. You're great, and I'm glad you found someone who brings happiness into your life. It was awesome to finally meet you last year, and I hope we meet again some day.
--> -->4. I care about you so much, but at the end of the day I can't argue with anything that makes you happy. So I'm content with being just friends. You've had a bigger impact on my life than I think even I realise at the moment. Just remember that whenever you are in need I'll be there for you because my friends are the most important thing in the world to me.
--> -->5. We really need to get drunk soon.
--> -->6. It's crazy that we have known each other so long and yet don't really talk that much. Thanks for joining my new forum though. lol
--> -->7. One of these days I'll have to meet you because you're a pretty awesome guy. I should have come to your party, but oh well, I guess I'm boring!
--> -->8. Just keep that nail-gun away from me. And be on MSN more.
--> -->9. You've been a great friend to me in recent times. My greatest regret is that I didn't get to know you better sooner. And stop with the llama song, please. lol :P
--> -->10. One of these I will actually manage to go out in Brum. And probably get drunk and make a fool of myself, but it'll be all in the name of fun. So it's all good.
If you figure out which one is for whom, don't say it here.
It'll kind of defeat the object.
Take care

i need cheering up
# 11 October 2006 10:22
Why do I always get woken up by the postman needing a signature for a parcel when I've been on the close the night before?
Do they time it deliberately like that?
Can't get back to sleep, so I had to get up, and nobodies online.
Yeah, your dealing with pissed-off Andy today. Last nights close was a nightmare, and todays will prolly be the same.
Had to send one of my mates home cos they kept messing around, and one of my other mates walked out with him. So I've prolly got both of them fired. *sigh*
Had to call up some help to finish off, and I hate doing that. >.<
Working the close again tonight: Oh what fun.
I seem to be having a crappy month so far. Haven't had a proper good day since like, the beginning of the last week of September. Since then it's just been crap. One thing after another, and I'm getting pretty tired of it, to be honest.
Oh, and anyone in the UK wanting to buy a GameCube?
meh.
GameCube for Sale
# 09 October 2006 18:05
Decided I'm going to sell my GameCube, anyone interested?
Obviously it's only local people, really, unless you're willing to pay postage. lol
So, it be a GameCube (+ cables, 1 memory card, and 1 controller)
Super Mario Sunshine
Luigi's Mansion
Sonic Heroes
Resident Evil Zero
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Star Wars: Rogue Leader, Rogue Squadron II
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike
Dunno how much for, though.
Update:
Might have a buyer.

Shoppingness!
# 18:03
Went down town earlier cos I was bored.
Got the X-Men 3 DVD and the new Killers album, Sam's Town.
They had it playing over the spekers in Woolworths so I thought I'd buy it. Woolworths need the money cos they suck, and I felt sorry for them. :P
And--this has to be a world first--I went into Game and actually didn't buy anything. *gasp*
I usually end up picking up a couple of games that I'll never play or soemthing, but not today! Aren't I good? :D
And I bought some nice new jeans which are pretty nice, methinks. Went into TK Maxx but couldn't see anything that grabbed my attention. And that's about it.
Yeah, so it's boring really. :P

http://www.wearethelittleones.com/
Do it, or else.
Other than that I'm tired. Oh wait I already mentioned that. Umm yeah, none of the people I want to invite to start up on my new forum have been sighted online, so thats going a bit slow. Hmm.

Random thoughts
# 07 October 2006 06:21
Hmm, my heads a bit weird from last night. Damn you Duane, getting me drunk. Again. Saw Mr Malik downtown too, crazy. lol
Oh well. Paracetamol it is, then. :P
Well, it should be too early in the morning for this thoughtfulness.
Had a weird dream, and me being me I figured out what I think it means.
Basically, sometimes you get what you want easily. Other times you may have to look for it. And occasionally, you might get it, and realise that it wasn't really what you needed afterall, but you still want to get it back.
And when you do get it back, there may be obstacles thrown in the way; little that seem minor, but when you put them all together they do create a barrier between yourself and enjoyment. Some people can get past them easily, but with me it's inevetable that breakages will occur--sometimes even the thing you try to save is the thing that breaks.
But that's life, isn't it?
Sounds prophetic and wise, eh?
In other news, Ash sorted the tickets for the Boy Least Likely To concert, but its been postponed til 23rd Jan... Doh!
Oh well, something to look forward to. Now I need something to do with my weekend. Apart from this 8-4 I am about to do.
Hmm.
Take care ppl

The Saga of Crap
# 01:11
Yess... I'm having a bad run of luck at the moment, it seems.
Was on the close, oh fun fun. First Michelle rang in sick, apparently having collapsed or something... then half way through the night Dan had some bad news and I let him go. Managed to blag Ben to stay on the close and get Kyle to stop til 12, but it was all looking a bit pear-shaped.
Then we ran out of shake mix and regular buns, and later some guy reached in through the drive thru window and robbed £80 out of the till while nobody was there. Great. Just HAPPENs to always be my shift when things go to pot... -_-
And then the bloody PC wouldn't close, so I had to leave it for the morning. The close wasn't to good either, so I'll prolly get a bollocking tomorrow. *sigh*
I need a new job. Anyone? Please? :(
lol
Oh wells.
Rang a friend on my break cos I feel the need to go get drunk and talk a bit about... things. So hopefully I shall be rather merry tomorrow night. hehe
Soon I'll be inviting a few peoples to join the staff for my new site... Maybe tomorrow if I can be bothered. lol
til next time

Blog spree
# 05 October 2006 02:10
I seem to be on a blog spree at the moment, lol
Wishing I'd blogged more recently. Seems like I don't post blogs when I'm happy. lol, but just been looking back at some of my old blogs, and finding them hilarious. Although some are a bit disturbing cos I know I wasn't in a sane state of mind when I wrote some of them. hmm, oh well.
I intend on finally getting round to writing the big reflectiveness bit about myself, and how i overcame the mess of bleh-ness that I had going on way back when. Maybe it would help people know me better, or maybe even help people somehow. Hmm, I dunno.
Also, been fiddling with this Numerology thingy, where you enter in your name and date of birth, and it supposedly tells you a lot about your personality. Some of it is quite strangely accurate, but I don't place too much faith in it. Just a bit of fun, IMO. If anyone wants me to geenrate a Numerology Report for them, just let me know. Might be interesting. Certainly makes me think... And for some very odd reason, me thinking doesn't seem to be such a bad thing for me as it was. I have a theory as to why, but I'll need to (lol) think on that a bit more.
Now really, I'm not going to post another blog today, geez.
Talk to ye all laters, ye amazing peoples. :)

Was just looking back at my old blog archivey stuff... for some reason I wanted to look at my old depressing stuff :P
But anyways, just found a post from 2003... I knew it had been a while, but geez, it was THAT long!?
:O
Oooh, Now maybe I've bumped that blog-that-makes-me-cringe-everytime-I-see-it into the archives. >.<
Seeyas, all!

# 04 October 2006 22:29
Hmm, I just thought. stupid illness maybe caused by these tablets I be taking for my crappy skin. Oxytetrasomething. I'll see how it goes, maybe i'll get used to them.
And I remembered I DO have something else to report. Started working on that random chat site AT LAST. The one based on the Bar and Grill series of threads around the place, so look out for that soon. May be asking a few people if they want to join the staff for the startup. :P
Decided to go with IPB, cos vBulletin although rather nice, is also rather expensive. Maybe I'll switch to vBulletin later if the site makes any money (doubtful).
I'm sure there was something else I was going to say, but I have forgotten what that was. Hmm. Oh well.

grah @ illness
# 22:03
Geez, I seem to be suffering from some kind of.. thing. lol
It's weird, i've not been able to finish my lunch for two days in a row. Dinner was alright though... Probably because by the time dinner comes around I'm starving after not having a proper lunch. And then there is the annoying headache of doooom.
Paulette gave me some paracetamol at work so all is good... I shall just throw tablets at it til it goes away. Feeling sick now, actually. Grr.
And earlier my sister announced that she'd borrowed my PS2 and taken it into her room. I'm like, erm, you what?
Thought I'd come back with the oh-so-witty "i don't walk into your room and take your TV without asking, do I?" -- to which she said that I could. >_>
Not quite the desired effect. Ash said I should go borrow her TV while she was using it to play my PS2. Kinda liked that idea... hehehe. But I didn't, because I'm not that mean.
Anything else to report? Hmm, no don't think so. Close tomorrow, how fun. -_-
You know, I might actually try to use this blog once in a while now. Just for a laugh, and cos I have nothing better to do with my time. *shifty eyes*
'til next time
take care

alright alright
# 03 October 2006 16:56
Need to stop being so depressed. Not going to get very far in life like that, am I?
So I was on a 9 til 5, funfun. Was supposed to have my Performance Review, but Ad forgot to bring it in *rolls eyes*
I was dreading Duane coming in cos I knew he would be a pain... Within 5 minutes: "Still with Ashley?" DOH. Soo then he kept bugging me all day, which was actually quite amusing by the end of the shift... as well as kinda annoying.
I'm cheered up a bit now. Got some horrible flu-like thing though... Hardly ate anything for lunch and had a headache all day, bit of paracetamol cleared that right up though when I got home.
Yeah, so I guess I discovered why having lots of good friends is better than having a couple of best friends, so I must thank all the peoples who helped me out the last couple days (in no particular order):
Allan, Karla, Mandi, Pod, Prin, Matt, Ty, Chris, Kim, Duane, Anna, Jess, David, Andy, Du, JM, Vice, and anyone I may have forgotten.
And that's how many people it takes to pull me out when I let myself fall into a hole. Kidding. ;)
But most of all, I want to thank Ashley, for being great. :)
We're still friends and that's what matters.
So... Chin up, and face the world, I guess.
Take care guys

hate this feeling
# 02 October 2006 20:52
yeah, so what i feared turned out to be true.
its the crappy end to my crappy week.
Ashley broke up with me today.
Still friends though.
worst fucking week ever
# 04:46
i've had the worst fucking week in my history.
monday and tuesday were alright, but i hadn't planned anything.
Wednesday i went to help my boyfriend, Ashley, clear some boxes and stuff from his new room after his move. I was supposed to be drinking with friends from work in the evening, but they all decided to go out in the afternoonwhen i was busy...
actually.. to be honest i can't even be fucking bothered to type this out agaian. but yeah it sucks. and there is something else which has me close to tears right now, and i fucking hate it. i'll prolly blog about it later, but hopefully not...
can't sleep. drinking coffee... at nearly 6am. yay. oh fun.
yeah, i suck.
