OMG: It's a blog post!
# 22 May 2008 23:24
Yeah, so I'm currently at Birmingham Airport... which sucks.
It's like half midnight and the whole place is closed... Not really sure what to do lol.
I want a drink but the Costa Coffee that seems to be open has nobody there to serve anyone; which is great. and stupid me forgot to bring any change for the vending machines... yay!
Also, airport internet is REALLY expensive! :(
Anyways what else can I say seeing as I have 20 minutes left and I'm rediculously bored already and my flight isn't for another 6 hrs...
Oooh yeah, my new job!!!
Finally managed to leave McDs after 8 years, thankfully before I lost my marbles completely... lol
I'd seen "Internet Moderator" advertised on Fish4jobs and decided to apply for it... cos--let's face it--what do I do in my spare time anyways?
So I applied and they were impressed and I got the job!
I am enjoying it too which is always a bonus. I do miss some of my friends from my old job though, but still managing to get the occasional drunken night out with them... and many of those with Duane lol.
Went to see Iron Man the other week... it was pretty good. Will look awesome on Blu-Ray lol. Talking of Blu-Ray I just bought the Sweeney Todd... Typically it's due to arrive tommorrow while I'm in India... Oh well...
Ooh and sneaky mister David booked a hotel in Earl's Court last weekend and took me to see Avenue Q! It was pretty good....very funny, lol. So now my ban on sneakiness is lifted so I must thing of something...
Although cos of this trip to India I won't get to see him again until his birthday on 8th June... will have to make it extra special! ;)
Oh yeah, that thing about Costa Coffee reminded me... I've started on coffee again, but hopefully I'll be able to keep it in moderation. I haven't been having ANY hot drinks at home recently, so it's just work that must be a bad influence. :P
Anyways, I'm running out of things to say... so... seeyas!
'til next time (whenever that may be--I'm not doing too well on this once a month thing, lol).
Take care,
luff yhooz!

Alton Towers!
# 30 October 2007 23:48
Hey, long time no blog, eh?
What's new then... since... April? Wow. lol
In no particular order:
1. Actually made a move on sorting my room out... have a nice big slidey-door wardrobe now!
2. New awesomeish computer!
3. couple of job applications been done... had an interview for Soho Coffee in Brum, didn't get that... currently waiting to hear from a guy starting a Subway franchise in Stourport (where HJ Beard's was, so hopefully thats a good omen).
4. Last but definitely not least: David!!! Yay! :D
I met David on MySpace (surprise, surprise) back in May, and we started talking and got to know eachother abit and then I randomly decided to drive down to Enfield (London) to meet him, and from then on there was just no going back. Stuck with eachother now, hehe just over four months now. :D
Anyways, the purpose of this blog...
Somehow managed to ask mum to let David stop over... of course, she doesn't know how close we are, lol but yeah... and then we went for a couple drinks Monday night. wasn't really terribly drunk (well, Duane was), and then we came home and watched some Scrubs, yay!
then this morning (Tues/30th) we went to Alton Towers... or at least we should have gone in the morning... but one thing led to another and we went abit later, lol. :P
It was really quiet, and we managed to do everything we wanted within about 4 hours, including a lunch break lol. And David finally showed me his skills on the dance arcade game thingy - the show off :P
then cos the park was open late, we got to ride things in the dark, woo!
Rode Nemesis in the dark on the front row: that was pretty awesome, although the Runaway Mine Train was pretty fun too lol, the guy on the controls kept sending us round, making us sing such hits as YMCA and Row Row Row Your Boat... hehe. Spinball Whizzer was good fun too lol. We didn't go on the Flume, cos last time we got drenched on the first (little tiny) drop, so we figured that we'd be covered by that previous soaking. lol
All in all a really nice day. :D
Laters (don't hold your breath though)

most random day ever
# 25 February 2007 09:52
Yesterday was reallllly random, went into town and met Duane... Walked around for a bit then we say Jenn and Daz and Paye in the cafe in the square place... Roland Hill centre or whatever it is. so we went to join them (after a browse around Fopp). Jenn and Paye were crazy... Turned out Daz had a free house, so we all decided to go round his. lol
First though we dropped Paye home then went to play with Duane's Wii, then me Daz and Jenn came home for a bit, then went to Daz's.
Me and Duane headed off to Tesco's for boooze. Yay! And had a fun night of watching/playing Yu-Gi-Oh and other random stuffs.
Then we stayed the night, lol just got back and I'm about to go to MFI and places with mum... shopping for my room YAY!
Then drunkeness tonight again :S lol

Feeling a bit moody at the moment for some reason.
Fed up with work. Although I did get a £100 bonus in my paycheck this week, wooo! But yeah I'm kinda fed up with it. Some of the people I could do without, but then others make me want to stay. We do have fun sometimes but I dunno it's just a generally shit job, as it always has been. If I did get a new job though I wouldn't want to do the same thing... Hence part of the reason why I didn't go for that Assistant Manager at KFC job. Plus I don't really like KFC anyways.
Managers meal at the Stourport Manor on Thursday night went well. Was a good laugh... With Les (Anna's blow-up man) lol.
Losing respect for a few people at the place though... But gaining respect for a couple more who have stuck up for me recently... Unfortunatly I think those people may be leaving soon. :S
Oh well.
I'm bored out of my mind right now. lol, should prolly be sleeping I guess.
Things are going good with Jon. He's amazing and he makes me so happy. Not seen him for like a whole day and I miss him. heh
Decided I finally need to get my finances sorted out. Sitting around waiting for the lottery win isn't helping. Hmm... Really want to move out sometime. It's my main goal for 2007.
Stressing a bit now cos I remembered about my dentist appointment about 2 days ago. Whoops, guess I'll have to pay some kind of fine for that >.<
And I've proper missed the last posting date for Xmas cards overseas. Need to do my Xmas shopping too. God, I'm panicy now, lol. So disorganised.
The stress-ball I got for my secret santa the other day was obviously a good choice. hehe
Need to do my annual summary of the year soon. Will have to thing about it... This year has definitely had it's ups and downs but it's been better on average than most previous years methinks.
Hmm. Running out of random things to say. Ooooh almost did a £1000 hour over lunch today. Missed it by about 50 quid. how annoying, but it was all good.
Anyways thats about it now. lol
til next time, whenever that may be...

drunken fun
# 03 November 2006 14:28
Haha yesss, drunken fun indeed. Was a good night.
Had to catch the bus into Kidder so I could drink, Duane was moaning cos he said I'd be late and miss the bus, but I insisted I wouldn't.
Of course... I ended up having to run down High Street because the bus was already there... but I didn't miss it at least!
twas Mister Daz Deeley driving so we had a nice old chat on the way.
Matty B was meeting us in town, but we got their early so we went to Yates's... but Duane doesn't have any ID so they wouldnt serve us, lol.
So we went to the Penny Black, had one drink, then got thrown out cos they didn't have ID. lol but I got my money back at least! XD
So then we went to the Red Man for a couple of drunks. Duane put some music on, and I chose a Panic! track but he put in the wrong number, the bastard. lol
After a couple there we went to maccies on Weaver's Wharf for some employee discount food. hehe
And we spent a few minutes drunkenly asking who was working next wednesday cos i'm doing the close down there.
THEN we had the scary walk along the canal to the Watermill.
We were walking along, and sure it was dark, but we could see along the canal alright. and then all of a sudden there was this guy about 10ft in front of us... and NONE of us had seen him coming towards us so we all crapped ourselves basically.
He asked us if we'd seen any milk... so we were like... wtf, no. lol and ran away.
Watermill was funny too. See the video ;)

Then when I got home I had a good old chat with a certain Mr Andy! :D
Take care!

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...

10 Statements
# 14 October 2006 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

Salvadore Dali
# 24 August 2003 19:26
Just got back from my weekend at my Aunt's house in Southbourne. Was good fun, we went down on the Friday, it's a 2.5-3 hour long journey, so my dad brought some cassettes to listen to - "The Best Punk Album in the World Ever!" Hehe, haven't heard that one for a while... tis good.
Anyways, on the Saturday we went into Bournemouth itself. It was packed, and that Darius was playing live, so Jennifer wanted to go see that, so she went down to the pier with my mum and other sister while me and my dad went looking through shops for random stuff.
We also went looking for a hotel to stay in when we go down again in February for my Aunt's wedding. We were given details that my grandparents got from the internet of a good-priced guest house nearby, so we drive down to find it, and the bloody thing wasn't there! It'd been knocked down and had flats built on the site. So obviously we couldn't stay there, lol.
Later that night we all had an Indian takeaway with all various stuff. It was our treat to my Aunt and future Uncle for having us down there. We're always having Indian food at home, and an Indian restaurant is always the first thing my dad looks for when we are on holiday (you don't know how long we searched for one in Orlando last year *rolls eyes* ). Anyways, that was nice. Probably better than the one we usually have at home. Afterwards we were playing a game called "Blind Ignorance" where there was a pack of cards with famous names on them, and that was stuck to a players head so that they couldn't see it, then they have to ask the other players questions to find out who they are. My Aunt was saying about half of them she doesn't know about, and picked an example - Salvadore Dali. Of course, the first round Salvadore Dali was picked so we changed that one for Noddy. Then it was my dads go, and he randomly picked Salvadore Dali out of the pack. We think he's just going to haunt us forever now, lol.
Other funny moments were when it took Stuart forever to get Felicity Kendall - he knew who it was, he just couldn't remember the name. My sister was Adolf Hitler, and she asked "Does it begin with a D?" Well, of course it begins "AD" so that sent us off into fits of laughter aswell. And then when we chose Mr Spock for my dad, who is a bit of a Star Trek fan was the best. After a while he knew who he was supposed to be, but he wouldn't say it because we didn't answer the questions right... Well we aren't all Trekkies, are we?
Needless to say we'd all (most of us) been drinking... I had two pints of Boddingtons and a bottle and a half of white wine.
This morning was a fairly normal Sunday morning, except that we weren't at home. Watched the F1 Grand Prix, same as usual. Had dinner same time as usual. Then me and my dad came home, while my mum and sisters are staying down there for the rest of the week.
We have work to go to :(

Mmm... Beer.
Nothing beats a good pint or... a lot. Yeah...
Well, I think I've sobered up a bit, so I am ready to post this. lol.
Uhh... 'twas quite a funny evening... The "doomed" guy is an Apprentice Carpenter, so most of the (adult-orientated) jokes centred around his "woodworm".
Most of the evening involved me standing next to the makeshift bar, filling up my glass as soon as it was empty. Eventually, though, I'd had ebough, but was soon forced to have more... An over I couldn't refuse, despite the fact I couldn't walk without bumping in to things.
Damn... I should have waited before coming online... Poor CorSec will think I've gone insane. Actually, he already knows I'm insane. So maybe he'll think I've gone more insaner than the insaneness that I already am.
