A quick catch on the January Advenures

Wow, January was a tough time for me it seems! From the start of the new year, to the last day, it has been hard work and harder lessons to learn from.
As you know, I am still on Placement in Great St Georges, helped Gina move out, almost lost John through a stupid argument (one not even between the two of us) and tiptoe round the idea of being a Nurse about to qualify. *Gulp*.
There was random driving lessons from John, random workshops in Kensington for free, and from Monday, a class for British Sign Language..o>O
There was resturants sought out, random trips to places round England, a fine from TFL for £100, books devoured (Check out The Earth Children by Jean M Auel!) and addiction to the websites:

So bad ><

Anyway, let's hope Febuary is intriging!

A busy weekend..

I was unprepared for the shock of having such a busy weekend. Still it was fun if a little unexpected..
First off there was Smi and the mini Study group we planned to do together. As usual, we left the work til last minute and was forced to work hard..The "work" was the log book- a record that you "studied" the other branches of Nursing..aka a bullshit device.
I arrived early as usual. Good job I did as Smi seemed to be hyper and talked waay more then she wrote

. Still, the place we went to was a cafe that does amazing food..It was 2 for 1 on Sandwiches and had cool crepes to. A student's perfect hiding place..


Couldn't stay there for long though, and soon the girlie nature of shopping took over. It was mostly spent looking for dresses and trying sale items on..I thought we looked good..


It was a rush though..Miss Gina needed help moving out, and though John was there with Nana, playing the delivery Man, I felt bad, so rushed to meet them. Too late it seems, as they had done all the hard work already..

It was good to see them get on though..Gina and Nana teased John about his love of cars, and in return he made Jokes about Women in general..
We all had dinner together, though as none of the losers would post, only food pictures were allowed.


So bright like a rainbow!Wooh!

(Did managed to get a few sneak shots in..)



Still not done with the day, John and I departed for Bracknell.


We had managed to book a hotel with none other then the HILTON hotel. For £35!
(the view was bad..Over a motorway-Still, cannot have everything!)

Bargain! It had a swimming pool as well, and BREAKFAST INCLUDED! That is what sold it to me!

The pool was amazing though I could only swim one and a half lenghts of it in a row..John did about 12, and Even Rosie (who has Asthma) can do at least 3! I am rubbish..Still, at least I can swim which is something..
The hotel itself was really nice and the bed was massive. Had to pay for the TV though and the DVD Player would not fit..Still, ways were found to entertain ourselves..(No, you sick puppies, it was Sleep!)
The next day, the rest of Bracknell was explored..It seemed it was full of Chavs and restaurants with a small arcade and cinema


. Frankie and Benny's was sought out, and as we did not want to go back to London, a trip to the cinema was randomly taken, after getting frustrated with the games in the arcade..

Weirdest game ever..It was a touch screen and you needed to work together to kill the ghosts..WE WERE CRAP!


Gah, John beat me in M.C.R..Only as the stupid machine I was on would not let me use items..Sad times..


What can I say..? Childish I know..Couldn't help it!




Bad, bad film. Still the fact that there was good camera shots and John actually enjoyed a film I picked made it bearable...
Bah, London days here I endure..

What a way to spend a Sunday!

It is not often I get asked to play the role of Bob the Builder..In fact most people that know how much mess I can create just walking, generally avoid asking me to do anything which involves liquid,food or cleaning.
Unfortunately for Gina, she did not know this when she asked me to help her paint her new flat.
I arrived with the best intentions. I even had a little house warming gift of wine.



.Still it did not stop most of the paint getting on me, rather then the walls as was intended.


Hmm, Nana was there as well as Gina's friend Georgina.



There was the whole flat to paint-(5 rooms) and one half done when I got there..


This was only a few of the tins we used for the room..Sad timess




I discovered 3 main things that day:

1. Being the tallest has the disadvantages of being able to paint the ceiling
2. While painting the ceiling, paint is drawn to drip into your eyes, hair and (more importantly) mouth.
3. Paint tastes really, really bad.

I also discovered turning your back to Nana after pretending to throw paint at her is a bad idea. Her revenge was swift..

Still, Gina called for a break and ordered pizza

It managed to comfort my taste buds enough to try to tackle another room.

When we were finished (the paint was almost gone. Nana was leaving, and the walls needed to dry before the next coat) two rooms were completed. I thou.ght it good for a few hours work!

Watch this space..We need to buy pretty decorations next!
Anyway.here is before:


And after..



Good huh..? Maybe that can be our second career! :)

So my day was spent feeling Sorry for myself

It was a bad start to the Weekend. Far from going to Smi's to have a fantastic time studying and having a sleepover, I spent the day in bed feeling sorry for myself.
I AM ILL!
No, I am not a dumper or a dumpee. After much talking, John and I managed to argee to continue dating. I actually thought my heart was going to explode if we parted.

-I am not naive to say I would not survive and die of a broken heart, but it would have been very hard to shake away the pain and move on-

Anyway, I spent the whole day in bed. I was tired, and had aches everywhere. I just couldn't face going out to face the world with a smile..

Anyway, I decided to not be *So* Emo and write a happy list of why being in a relationship with John Rocks:

-The Compliments that he gives me

-The kisses and *love*

-The shared Smiles
-The hugs
-The mini Adventures


-The dates.
-The fact he buys me mini presnts just to say he was thinking of me..
-The way he shakes his head in confusion when I talk.
-His car and the fact he drives me (Well..His sister's car now)

-The way he told me a million times he is going to give me breakfast in bed when we move in
-The arguments over whose music/taste/clothes is better-Admit it, I look goodio :P


-The fact there's a best friend I can always ask for help (if not he is easier to bribe)
-The fact you have an Agony aunt
-The massageS
-The Injokes


-The way he picked me up from hospital when I was really ill..and still thought I was cute even when I was puking up on the pavement


-The Picnics and resturant trips.

-He is scared of saying "I love you" to not give me the wrong impression, as he is not sure of his feelings
-When he does the above stuff and a hell of a lot more
-Did I mention the Kisses..?

Anyway, besides being in bed, I was also re reading blogs of the past. Truly, Vanessa has some good posts in 2007. Rosie also blogged about events I forgot. Fun times. The other thing that kept me busy was watching Digimon.
My my. If ever they was an Anime series that was bad enough to turn me off Manga in general- That was it.

Pixs of the best ones..I love you guys..You know who you are..:P

I know..I treat you well! Enjoy.

Love you. You know who you are..

Relationships always hurt.

It is always a tragic affair when the topic of breaking up is mentioned and deeply considered. It is even worst when both parties argee to it, but the hearts are screaming " No, what the hell are you doing..".
I felt like that with John. I am a fool when it comes to matters of the heart, this time it seems. I usually can walk away when things don't feel right, or cannot work. I like that, that my emotions do not cripple me so much, I make the wrong choice.
It was a dicussion that led to an argument. He was White, I was black. We couldn't see the gray side to it.

I do hate stubborness.

Anyway, What can one do when you are on opposite sides of the fence, neither will yield, and both need to be on the same team..?

That question, as well as others were asked.

All I can say, is that I am holding my breath hoping for a good outcome..And remembering the good times.

A night to Remember..Or maybe not

The night was to be a good one. The plan was simple. Revoultion fun with vouchers to make it Cheaper and then Roxy's for an all nighter of Dancing and Laughing. If only I hadn't drunk so much. I got to the bar early with Tom and Harry. Drinks were Chose and consumed



. More drinks were soon to follow, til the world was starting to look rosy, as I became tispy. Tom was also a fast drinker and we were happily humming to the songs playing in the background.




Revolutions is also going through a lovely Italian Phrase Where there are "rewards" for those from that fine counrty.



Rosie and Phoebe soon joined the fun, and this time brought shots so we could play "I never" and "Tops and Buttoms".



Rosie also taught us a game where you you stack the cards on top of a thin glass and blow on them. The aim was supposed to be the last card to be blown off, meant that Blower had to drink/ down a shot. Tis quite good.



Harry, Phoebe and I also got a bit addicted to the bread sticks that were foolishly laying on the table.




More and more were consumed until we were banned from asking for any more at the bar. We made good vampires and weapons, as well as Bar snacks..And to think..We thought they were incense at first ><














There was also Tom's marvellous T-Shirt.."I put the Man in Romance!"


There was also the make over we did for Harry. He looked good with the Glitter and Mascara.Not Rocky Horror Show Good-But good enough.


I personal think that the Cards on the head was a much sexier look then anything else..Just look how pretty me and Harry look:


Or even the "I am a stuffed Pig.Please Kill and eat my tender Flesh look"

Perhaps the "Smiles" all round:

That is were it all started to go wrong. I opened my fat mouth and said some things to Phoebe. I cannot remember what it was, but I made her upset. Really upset. The next thing I remember was being dragged away from her by Harry, and going home on the bus. I am glad he did drag me away, as Goodness knows what else I may have done. So, now the next day is here. I am sitting in my room, more angry at myself then anything else..The "argument" with Phoebe has caused a ripple effect and so now more people are suffering because of that. Goddess help me through the next few days..And the people that are hurting because of my lack of Tact and good taste when I am drunk.:(
Although I have talked and Apologised for my actions, I still feel the Fool.
Alchol. People change when they drink and I have seen a horrid side of me that has no quirms about saying things without thought. Has no clue how much the words can hurt more then a punch. Or have effect on long rooted friendships.
I have learnt my lesson now..No more drinking for Catherine for a while..Especially on those that I may say something to offend.
Now, if only my brain can believe what I am typing out!
