The Mini adventures of a pixie

Life. Sex and Rock and Roll.

2010-10-28T19:37:00.002+01:00

Okie, So it is been a while since I posted here. Life has been packed from morning to night so I have little time to reflect or brood on the past. Adding to the fact that Twitter and My Tumblr make it really easy to update compared to blogspot and you get a dying webpage that was my best friend for rants and tears.

So what have I been up to since..August?
Well, working mostly. The lovely people in Wolfson centre booked me for most of the month to my joy. I did all my big adventures in July so I was happy to be able to pay off the summer debts (Which I did-now only the overdraft to tackle!.)
I also brought a new camera after having to rely heavily on other people's to even take a snap as I broke my one in Latitude.
September saw me get a year older in style and also brought the return of Uni. Yes. I am once again in the ranks of the student army.
I almost cried when I saw that they were going to place me in A and E again. I managed to get in changed to CTITU (Cardiac Intensive Care).
I been there 5 ways so far and doing okie (Fingers crossed).
Love life is weird and wonderous. After the split I changed a lot in myself in terms of accepting what I am and what I need. Although I have not found it *exactly*, still due to trust issues, I am getting there. I meet a guy that seems determine to see me go far no matter what, and with him, came a new circle to play and network with. I owe him a lot more then he realised. *nods in his direction*.

Adventures have been on a different track rather then my usual. Adventures of self awareness, self image and self love were more the focus these weeks then the physical "let's explore the world". Whispers of hate go round my head at myself, but at least they are whispers not shouts.
I have an outlet for tears and no real reason to hide what I am feeling, even though it takes a lifetime to break old habits.

Anyway, to end on a happy note here is what I have been through:
~Started experimenting with my sexuality and the BDSM World. Fitted in so well it was like I never was without it.
~Went to Hastings on my first camping trip..And survived to agree to go again
-Went on a hunt for the best clubs in East London again: The bookclub I think is my favourite.
~Went out 3 times in a row to celebrate the fact I am a lil older (and hopefully wiser).
~Found out the joy of tumblr and photography agaon
~Passed my snapshot and passing placement it seems
~Learning to be selfish in a productive way, especially when it comes to my feelings verus someone else.
~Having Anna's usual Pancake Dinner parties
~Having many trips to the cinema :)

Boo ya.
The happiness is back!

Soo this is Tumblr then?

2010-08-07T17:37:00.002+01:00

Okie, so as I am a proud black berry owner, and everyone was talking about the greatness of Tumblr, I am moving shop to see what it is like myself. I am moving my blog and online writing time to this page instead:

It means that I will be posting more regularly though. So see you guys later!
Ciao!
:)

Soo..this is the Single life for me then?

2010-07-29T13:49:00.005+01:00

So apart from the "woe is me, he left me, how can I cope *cries and drinks*" post and "the List" of the perfect man for me post, I have been oddly quiet.
It is not because my depression over another failed long term relationship took me over the edge, indeed, it seemed to breathe life into me and give me back my pixiedust that was slowly being drained out of me. I have had so much adventures Since March I hardly had time to breathe let along write in details over where I have been and what I have seen..
From the sheets of new lovers to seeing live music to giggling with friends, this Summer was the Summer of Adventures for sure.

So a quick Summary of the highlights:

Playing and completing Pokemon Gold. I am that cool at being a (causal) gamer, this goes first!
Going to Bath in April and then in May to see my good friend Dan Artsie. We explored the hills, the national trust park, Saw Lions, and witnessed his Graduation. I also met his Mother for his first time. Very cool woman.
Getting back on track to University. Going back in September and getting my Bursary too. I get paid to complete the training. *Dances*.
Going to Bristol to visit Waffle. It was a weekend of intriguing catch ups and seeing a more relaxed Bristol.
TENBY! yes, I went for the weekend for Brenda's birthday. Wales was amazing. Paint balling, beaches, Urban exploring, welsh cakes and going on the track for go karting!
Sheffield for The Beach Party (Dan's 21st) and Then for the Big Brother house with with the introduction of Sam. His Blog and version if you care to read is here.
Going back to Work and getting off benefits and sorting my head out a lot better. Off the anti depressions and Self harming stops being so regular :)
Saying a final goodbye to my close Friend Belinda and her lover as they depart to Australia for a year
Going to Wimbledon Tennis with a new face in my life, Clockwise..and realizing how much I hate tennis..Urgh.
Going for many BBQ's in various parks!
Seeing Wireless! Wooh! Finally seeing Pink!
Going Camping in Latitude! 54 acts in 3 and half Days..<3
Going to Ben and Jerry's for the 2 days..Free Ice creams and many happy moments with friends
Going to see many bands and my beloved La Rebla Fam and Mad Ramblings!

And the plans for the future?
Well to carry on with the adventures and get my PIN. All good times me think!

Planning to go to Berlin for the Xmas holidays and qualifying just before then :)
Going to Travel to America with a certain Hayley if Funds allow it and see a certain Lori
To enjoy the joy of being free, young and with a good job. :)

Wooh. Pixie's back!

See you all soon!

(And thank you all for helping me get back my spirits in the hard times of Winter and Spring. I never forgot your help, support and constant Love. Especially Cookie, Sparrow, Mr D, Raz and my Mama. God knows I am happy to know you!)

So how is the single life fr you?

Wales

2010-04-28T23:12:00.001+01:00

Some bad videos of Wales. Fun times I hope :)

WLTM a serendipity now..

2010-04-28T22:34:00.004+01:00

So I was in the pub with a good friend when I thought I should write a list.
Yes, I resorted to writing a list to see what sort of Person I want to be with..A clear idea of who I wish the universe would send in my direction..That and I was having a laugh at Dan's expression when he read it after it was done!
Anyway, here is the list:

Pixiewolfe's lover shall agree with (most) of these statements:

-Thou Shall be a Serendipity
-Thou shall not want butt Sex or Rim me and try to kiss me straight after. That is just eww.
-Thou shall like Manga and Anime
-Thou Shall be spontaneous with Romance
-Thou shall respect the Pixiewolfe's Music taste
-Thou shall like Nature

-Thou Shall give a satisfactory answer to the Robin Hood Morality Test (Which is here!)
-Thou Shall enjoy webcomics
-Thou Shall not argue about beliefs to the point of making the other cry

-Both Shall be liked by both sets of friends. Friends are my family.
Thou shall not use violence to get his own way.
-Thou shall be respectful and truthful. Even if it hurts.

For now, night night my lovers! x

If you want me I will be a bit emo for the next few weeks.

2010-03-24T16:43:00.000Z

So I have been cheated on. By John. Who is now dating the girl he cheated on me with.

I am not happy.

There is nothing more to say except we have split up and it is killing me.

I have not opened my heart out to another guy since Nick or Gary. I don't think I will again.

At least not for a long while til I can overcome the shame and pain of it.

Makes me ask questions I rather not answer:
Why was I not good enough? Why did you not dump me before hand? How long did he cheat on me? Did he cheat on me before, in our 2 and a bit year relationship? Why did he lie about it when confronted- and then still be emotional manipulative to try to control the situation? Why did he keep saying he want me back but make no effect to get back with me..though still claim that I left a hole in his heart when I left? Why did I give him a second chance when he hurt me badly before- or a first chance when I did not want to date him in the first place? How many people knew before me? Why didn't he realize a depressive, suicidal woman did not want to know a man was a lying cheater, and it made me retreat so far into myself it hurts?
.............
I guess most of the questions can be answered with: He is a big fat loser that does not deserve you because you are (insert nice adjectives here).

It does not help knowing that his friends are disgusted, the "new" girlfriend is going to France in a few months, showing he is using her as a way to feel the hole and I have been asked out already.
It does not help that now I got more free time to plan holidays, not feel stupid reading web comics or waste time trying to understand and compromise.

It does help that I have fantastic friends that have let me cry on their shoulders for the weeks where the heartbreak has been too hard to bear.
Hopefully more more smiles and adventures soon.

Boo.

Two great Dinner Parties.(thanks Guys)

2010-02-23T12:11:00.002Z

As I am poor, I have been skipping on the restaurants and going for Dinner parties instead. Then again, I have got more friends opening their homes for the idea. Honestly, who really wants to go out when it is cold just for food in an over priced building like Gorden Ramsey anyway..?

The first one was Cookie's on Sunday. She has moved to a new flat for just her and Ryan. I am jealous. Really cheap, all inclusive and only her and her Lover. -Sigh-. The only bad thing it is in Leytonstone..but even that is no bad thing!
There was already guests when I arrived at half one. It was nice chatting to Cookie's other circle.
Eventually others arrived to fill the silences that occur among strangers.
It was a good mix..Brenda, Anna, a guy called Andrew I met before as he works in St Georges and was at a few "gatherings" and 4 others.

We gathered and laughed and socialised as you do...

Cookie turned out to be an amazing cook. There was starter of soup, Dumplings (chicken and vegetables) then rice with various meat to put on it. Brenda and Anna provided dessert and someone brought the alcohol. Fun times.

Did find out some things though..

-Cookie is a great Painter..Was lucky to see her old work.
-Brenda laugh is getting weirder and even tops me.
-Wearing a summer dress is not a good idea when London is still gripped in cold and Ice. Brr.

If you were wondering where Ryan the lover was while we were munching away, he went to Yorkshire to see family. Did see him as Anna, Brenda, Andrew and I braced ourselves against the cold to get to the Station.(He was fine, thanks for asking..)

Monday night was Anna's turn to play host. As I decided to crash at Anna's for a while I was there, as well as Garry and Iwona.
IT WAS MEXICAN THEMED.Kinda.
We had chicken fajitas. Awesome.

Again with the Catch up. It is amazing how much one can talk about once a topic is reached they like.
For Anna it was about the music and the new DJ she is into. He can mix anyone and Anything. Pure talent man. Look him up..YOUR NIECE!

Awesome stuff!

A Scary level of truth..

2010-02-23T11:39:00.004Z

A book to shock you into doing something. Equality IS better for everyone.

This book is the result of 50 years of research. It talks about inequality and how it makes people cranky. How being equal can affect mental illness, obsetity and even how long one can live.
How countries like America fare worst in "happiness scales" then it Japan.

Basically I think anyone who believes that society is the result of what we do, rather than who we are, should check this out.

The Kindness offensive Strikes!

2010-02-16T12:46:00.003Z

As you may know, I love free stuff. I f it is food , I love it even more.
I was very lucky then to get free Pancakes with my Mama at Ed's Diner. It was really random as it was to draw attention to Bullying and the anti bullying campaign via the NSPCC. I
shamefully did not know this when I went there. My mind went "free pancakes? FREEEEE..??! I am in".

It was good though. Found out about Leap... An orgainsation that helps makes good deeds fun and easy. CHECK IT OUT: Type Leapanywhere in google. NOW!

Valentine's Day love!

2010-02-14T23:51:00.001Z

I hate Valentine's. Seriously I do. For a person in a loving relationship and who has free time to plan things for her lover, I was not the most happiest come the 14th.
It is not the stress.
It is not the commerical. nature.
It is the fact that one day out of the whole year people are forced to go against their nature and be nice and romantic to who falls into their lustful eyesight. Come on guys. There are 365 days in the year last time I checked. You do NOT need to wait til Febuary to show that you care and love someone..

That rant out of the way, I did have a good time.
John phoned me and told m
e to dress in leathers and warm clothes. It meant one thing. I was going to ride on his bike (He hates riding with others so that was a treat in itself!)
After having a quick hot choc and me posing in the lid he borrowed for me:

The question where/what are we going to do was soon answered when we pulled up outside Bloomsbury Bowling Alley. For those that don't know it, it is a cool bar that has bowling, Karoke, gigs, dancing, random machines and a 50's style.
It was cool, Quirky and totally us.

Food was consumed:
(yes it had to be typically us..Ordering more then we can eat..The milkshakes were cool though..and ridiculously filling!

Bands were admired:

(Check them out..Scarlett's Rose was amazing live. Love the blond singer's voice!)

And our competitive nature arose when we bowled with our funny names:

I lost but only because John managed to get 3 strikes. Well it was nearly Turkey after all..(his favourite word it seems.)

I also embarrassed John by repeatly asking for tea. The guy felt sorry for me and evenually made me one from the staff stock! Well, if you ask you get don't you.

I also got a heart balloon. Doesn't it look like nipples..? It does doesn't it..? It is not just me, is it..?

I wanted to keep it, but John decided to burst it on me as he claimed
"I would look like a twat if I was riding a bike with a balloon sticking out".
Meanie.
Still, I got a new band to be obessed about and I Really want a bike. Good times
:P

Happy new year (Again)

2010-02-14T08:01:00.000Z

Anna is a social Animal. I am Anna's friend. Therefore I occasionally decide to enter Anna's world of parties, DJ sets and EastLondoness
Tonight it was a houseparty in Dalston. The theme was Chinese new year. It had food, warmth and a good crowd (Brenda and Cookie were also there!).
Met Anna at her's before running down to the station to pick up Cookie. We were late because we kept forgetting things..First we forgot the champagne, then I forgot Cookie's present (late I know, as I kept forgetting to give it to her!).

Eventually piled on the bus before indulging in Doughnut. Mm, Sugar rush never was so good!

Got into a weird conversation on the bus.
One guy asked out loud how to spell Jewel. Anna spelt it. A drunk guy in the corner then shouted out "How do you Spell "condom"..I always need one during the weekend. Will someone help me out..?!". Some bright spark spelt out "Good luck" before the drunk guy shouted.." Noooo...That is not right..isn't it C-O-N-D-O-M..?".

Bad timing for Brenda who decided to phone at that moment to find out where we were.

Brenda was not the only one waiting. Steve, (Jamie's friend who is Leo and Anna's mate) and some Swede people were coming to. I was a bit intimidated with all the crowd. One to speak I know, as I had a whip in my hands!

Took a while to find out where the house was, but when we got there we were delighted..There was posters to advertise it on the wall (inside as a mickey take), the stair case was transformed into a tunnel so people had to curl up and down it (had cardboard taped to the walls forcing people to go on their knees.) and food. I was happy with the food.
It even had a real fireplace, so I was able to roast and burn various food from marshmallows to chips.
I also was told there is a sweet one is supposed to chuck at people for good luck..Bad times for the other guests.
I did not just misbehave. I was floating around talking to people to. There were 2 people that I really like..Marina who was a bubbly woman living in Hammersmith, and a guy called Paul who talked about everything from bikes to Identity. He had a big discussion with Bee too, which I sat down to listen to.

We did not stay there for long though..The others had tickets to a club and I was tired. At the bus stop it was fun as I encouraged others to whip stuff. Had a mini competition to see who could whip a beer can off the bus stop bench. No one it seemed!

Got home about 2, while the others got home much, much later. Aw well. Start as you mean to go on!

A great book

2010-02-11T15:25:00.002Z

I have been trying to read a lot more this year, and get out of only reading webcomics and Sci fi/ fantasy novels (genius though they are!).
It is with pleasure that I will say: Read this book:

It is one of the thought provoking books I have read in a long time. Basically it is a world were Africians were the masters and Europeans were slaves. For obvious reasons very powerful and sad. Read it though- you will be missin out if you don't!

A day and night in Camden Town...

2010-02-10T22:17:00.007Z

Okie, so these last few days I had a reason to visit my old haunt in London. Glorious Camden Town. I had lunch, coffee dates and gigs. Almost feel like my old self a bit at that.

First time was with Vince. He likes Camden. I like Camden. Seemed like a great place to choose to meet and catch up. Bad plan for me though, as I came straight from John's and had heavy books, dirty clothes and my laptop. Note to self. Lugging around a giant rucksack makes wondering slightly difficult.
It was nice though. Brought a diablo from Oddballs, ate a lot of Camden style food and laughed with Vince at the "fashion" there. Bliss.

I went back the next day to meet my old Uni mates-Dolly, Smi and Sarah. All were depressed about work (or in Sarah's case lack of). Tis a hard life for us some times. We all were happy with catching up, being cam whores and eating in our favourite restaurant Max Oriental...

I was soon greeted by another friend: Cookie. It was good timing of her as the others left for new adventures in various London hangouts while I wanted to stay for a gig in Camden.
Cookie did seem to get on with Smi..At least Smi was making her giggle with talks of Clothes and accounting stories.
Bored with the shops, Cookie and I headed for Hampstead Health. The plan was to sit down in the green and have a hot drink. It was far to cold though to put that plan in action (In this weather? In this Country? What were we thinking?!), so we stopped into a quaint looking shop. It served good cake and was reasonable for the drinks. Plan B turned out to be not so bad.

Vince graced us with his presence in the evening..We meet at the World's End pub- Best one ever with this sign by the way:

and went straight on to the gig.

I saw one of the bands before-Molloy so I was happy. The lead singer Caz give me a big hug and it was nice to hear more of her life then just music based news. She was amazing on stage as usual!

Another band I grew to like was Slow Gun. I did make a prat of myself after with the Bass player- She was handing out badges and didn't hear what I was saying. Basically she thought I was a twat.

The other band was cute but boring to listen to. The name failed to register in my mind..Sad for them I'm sure.

Hungry after the music, I persuaded the others to go eat with me. I was going to have Chiense but the store for Falafels caught my eye. Managed to make a prat of myself for the second time that night.

Me: Do you do any veggie Falafels?
Guy: umm..Falafels are always Vegetarian
Me: But why does it say it has mince in it (pointing to the sign)
Guy: It says Mint, not mince.
Me: ....................I will have one then -Blush-

To top it all off, after I got the damn thing, I hated it and Vince and Cookie laughed as I struggled to enjoy it. That and I managed to get it on my skirt, hair and cookie's hair while devouring it..Typical.

Then on Monday I went again. Well this time to Mornington Crescent for KOKO. Managed to score two tickets to see Mika, Courteeners and JLS for free for the Album Chart Show. Went with Vince as I thought he would like it (he did). As it was live recording though it ran late. Doors opened at half 7 not 6..Brr, was snowing as well when we were outside.

Inside was okie, and was enjoying myself til JLS came on. My goodness, I took an instant dislike to them and it got worst as I realized that they were lip syncing and doing very dodgy dance moves. I cried when they had to re do the entire set.
I was so happy when Mika came on. I loved him before, but now I would happily be a mindless drone for him. He was quirky. He was a natural on stage. His voice was a-maze-zing. I am in love. Seriously.

Pictures came out good to!

Last was Courteeners. Not my favourite indie act out there, but they had talent (and an army of groupies it seems).

All in all. A great few days in my favourite place in London. You can guess where you can find me if I am out of bed now!

So this is Pokemon..?

2010-02-01T01:11:00.002Z

I am 22. I am developing a minor love for Pokemon. Please help me.

Yes, you heard right. I am play with cute creatures from a vitural reality. And I am not ashamed to say it.
Bearing in mind that everyone grew out of it when they were 12, and the only people that do like them are in Bath or USA it can be lonely to be tapping away on a DS knowing I will never fill up the damn Pokedex.

Amusing that people keep sending me comic strips like:

And:

Oh. This is my favourite Pokemon by the way (if you were interested) :

Pokemon gotta catch them all...POKEMON!

So..I moved back home

2010-01-30T14:47:00.002Z

So East London was not good for the depressive. I was self harming and not talking to anyone. I was being argumentive and could not deal with anything..So what I did was run back at my Mama and cry on her shoulder about how life was mean and cruel and I was unable to deal with it.

I know. It was bad.

The worst thing for me in dealing with depression is the fact I am smart enough to know that it is only a chemical in my brain making me feel suicidal. I know that I have a lot to look forward to, and be grateful for.

I have great friends who would look after me, and like my company
A mother with depression who knows and can offer support and advice
An okie choice in career, even if I don't like it (Can fall back on Nursing..no matter what..)
Intelligence and charm that makes it easy to get on with people and make friends or lovers
A supportive Boyfriend who does try to understand
Opportunities to do whatever I like
A job to go back to that pays reasonable well

It still does not make much of a difference. Somedays Iwalk to the top of my road and wish I had the courage to end it all. There are many reasons why people would argue against it. It does not matter. I feel I should not have to justify my feelings.

At least it is getting slowly better. I don't feel as bad and Iam looking forward to going back to finish off my course.

It was horrible to fail A and E. It was horrible to have to move from Benthnal Green and Then from Stepney. It was horrible finding out my Uncle died, and family history and breaking up with John. It was horrible going on benefits and feeling a failure for not working. It was not good laying around the house ripping my skin til the blood came out or hiding from everyone. It was horrible having to move back to my Mama's and lying to people that I am something I am not (a Catholic Nurse who is moving up in the career ladder..)

I really hope the worst is over and I finally get some more happiness in my life :(

The lost art of Exploring.

2010-01-27T11:22:00.001Z

It is good to be friends with someone gets pleasure in exploring. It is even better when that said person has free time at the same time as you. This person for me is Vince.
For today's adventure we decided to go to Tate Modern.
I was surprised that I liked some of the Artwork on display.
This artist in particular was really good for me and did a whole host of manga related work. It was interesting as well as stunning to the eye.

Couldn't stay in the gallery for the whole day, so went for lunch. Took him to Chilango- a Mexican chain. The portion was so big I struggled to finish mine and Vince did not complain of hunger for a good while after. Result for £9!

As usual we also went to a coffee house for a while. Vince knew of a cheap one off Piccidilly-Grace.
I was happy as they gave free smarties in a shot glass for every drink. Awesome.

Cookie's birthday Dinner

2010-01-25T00:15:00.006Z

What more is there to explain..?
Cookie wanted to go out to Dinner for her birthday with close friends. I was entertained with good company while my stomach was entertained with good food.
The restaurant was in Russell Square-called . A mixture of all oriental food recipes from rice to weird soup. All cheap- though as I was a greedy pig and decided to order 2 starters and then 2 mains plus drinks mine was a bit excessive.
There was only 4 people I knew (Anna, Brenda, Cookie and Ryan (her boyfriend), so it was weird to talk to others

..As one knows I have been quite the reclusive so making "polite" conversation was not easy- glad I could stuff my mouth with food and avoid that issue!

Harder when Anna shouted out "Stop taking sex talk there!!". I would not mind but I was listening to Ryan talking about Cookie. -Sigh-. Am I that predictable in my chat?

We did joke that cookie should have her own twitter page to rival www.twitter.com/shitmydadsays.

The dinner got better when we realised that Brenda made a cake for Cookie..As we all know that she bakes only in special times, we realised how good it would be..(and it was. It was indeed..)

It did put a damper on thing getting the bill. Weird to think that food cost that much! What the hell?

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOKIE! :)..We all love you <3

There is a little blue in all of us..

2010-01-24T20:13:00.004Z

I have moved back to Chelsea and yet Old street still calls me. It was with that thought in my head I decided to travel back up to spend an evening with my darling Anna and co.
First stop was the fine waterhole known as Weatherspoons. Aimed with embarrassment (as much as I could be that is- this is me you are talking about) as I spent the last half an hour drinking by myself in the wrong pub, not even alcohol mind, just hot chocolate, I was soon joining the ranks in conversation and laughter.
Anna was there of course, as well as Vince, Brenda, Leo, Jamie, Jamie's friend and Serena (I finally met this exclusive character. Exciting.)

There was not much new talk going on-mostly jokes and random gossip inbetween the usual complaints of jobs and lack of money.
Did down a pint in one go though, winning myself a pitcher from a red faced Jamie.

Did not touch the shots though..Left that to Anna and other braver souls!

We did not stay there the whole time though.We moved on to a great bar called "Old Blue". It plays really good music. I was happy.

It was my first time out in a while, so I got myself tired out early. Shamefully I left just at half 12..usually it is 3 at the earliest!
Vince went with me and we wandered around the street eating burgers, chips and random salad. That and talk nonsense. Aw, good times..Same time, same place next fortnight I hope :P

Good night!

The main characters of 2010

2010-01-03T20:11:00.007Z

As you know, i do this every year..Why stop now..? (Similar to 2009 post but it is true- still good friends all of you :P)

The Boyfriend:
My boyfriend is called John. He is obsessed with the website twitter, Dad's army (which I hate) and music that seems to be based on whether I not I would like it- The more I hate it the more he likes it, it seems)..Still.. I do love him <3
The Old School friends...
Rosie Rosie is a girl I knew since I was 3. We went to the same primary and Secondary School. Though she lives far from me,we catch up a lot on MSN.

Harry Harold I knew since I was 3 or 4-again from primary School. He lives in my neighbour hood and is a workaholic..(Holds two jobs and looking to get a better career after Uni). He is too trendy for words with a much better fashion sense then me. He also hates animals and goes to the gym a lot..

Vanessa Vanessa is a smart woman who went home to Malaysia and is back in England studying Medicine. She has a sweet dog called Toffee, a great boyfriend Joel and is able to play the Piano which I am Jealous of..And hold a tune. -Sigh- Basically she is smart, very pretty and talented. And not a bitch about it!

Daniel S (AKA Valient). This is a guy I met in Sixth Form. Dan is too smart for his own good, a talented artist and obsessed with Games. He lives in Bath, which is good for me as I get to visit him there. ^_^

New year Joy..

2010-01-02T15:08:00.000Z

There is an old saying that says how you send New year's eve and Day is how you will spend the rest of the year. It is with pleasure that I spent it with close friends and doing what I love most. Gossiping, eating choc, watching Anime and dancing.

New year's Eve was spent at Anna's with Brenda, Cookie, Amma and Claude. The original plan was to go to Garry and Iwona's in the scary south for their house party. Fate had different ideas though. Anna was ill (she went to Poland for Christmas and said she ate far to much..) so could not go out anywhere and pure stubbornness made the rest of us stay to.
I did not mind at all.
There was a mad dash to go to my place in Stepney for sweets and DVD's and a happy crowd of girlies talking nonsense.
My gameboy was also in popular demand that night.

We were having such a great chat we nearly missed the midnight mark and all heard up various glasses to cheer on the new year..

Claude was restless, departing on for greater entertainment and Amma also drifted off. Me and Cookie stayed though. Armed with a barrel full of tiredness we went to Anna's Flatmates room to sleep.

The next day was no better for poor Anna. She was ill all day. I spent the day chatting to Cookie.
The night was supposed to be going to BBB-Bastard Batty Bass.
Brenda graced us with her presence and Amma came back. Unfortunately no one wanted to stay to dance much, so after only half an hour only me and Amma were there.
We danced our troubles away, one beat at a time..

And more..

And more..

There was such a random crowd there, and I even spied a guy with a wheelchair bobbing along to the beat!

Sadly, even Amma had to go eventually, and after a quick chat to Anna we departed.

Let's hope the rest of 2010 is just as fun! :)

A new dawn on a new day, it's a new life..and I'm feeling good!

2010-01-01T17:47:00.000Z

As usually when it comes down to a new year there is always this habit to make a promise to one self. To lose weight. To learn a new skill.. To have sex with a handsome guy/girl to validate yourself and your power to seduce..

For myself, I promised a somewhat easier vow to maintain for 2010..

To only spend time with close friends and cut out all those that drain me in time, money and emotion.

This does not include people that have been there for me and now have fallen on hard times themselves and need help with emotions/heartbreaks/money/new job/ insert another problem here. I mean those that have fallen out of contact, or who never make the effort. Those that avoid helping you but want everything you can offer and more. The users who make you feel little and make you cry and ask "fuck it..why are they still in my life?!".

So without farther ado, let's hope I maintain great friendships, gain knowledge that makes me smile and above all..Contains loads of mini adventures :)

My pirate name..Aye haaa

2009-12-01T23:46:00.000Z

I thought I would share it with you....

Never fun to be a prisoner inside one's head.

2009-11-23T14:34:00.003Z

Depression is a harsh thing to deal with. It eats away at oneself. It destroys friendship. It isolates people. It is what I have been diagnosed with and what the doctors have said I had for years. Great.
They have given me some tablets, and told me to get CBT. The only bad thing is that now that I live in East London it will take a while for me to see someone over there.
Advice they have given me is the obvious. Do not isolate oneself. Stay with friends. Read. Do things that you enjoy.
The only bad thing is that the drugs they gave are giving me more side effects then the depression has. So I feel to tired to work in the hospital. So I am now on benefits and feel to drugged to do most other things. This is not a good way to be I know..But what I do..?

At least I am getting help now right..?

So this is Spain huh..?

2009-11-19T13:37:00.002Z

As I have never been out of the great United Kingston, except to visit Poland and Ireland, I jumped at the chance to visit Spain.
I was lucky. Anna's friend Maya needed someone to go with her to look after her baby Daughter while she was in a convention in Madrid. As I was free (and in the mood for an adventure I agreed. Who wouldn't want to have a free holiday with a beautiful baby and cool woman, where the only "job" was to babysit for a few hours for 3 days? Bargain I thought!

First I went to Luton on Friday where Maya lives. Luton is a tiny village it seem- and when I went out in the night with the Au Pair Anishca (Polish Girl), it was easy to find the best places to go out.

t

Was only briefly though as I had to get up at dawn for the flight. Did get to meet the lil one-Suzie. A glorious 3 year old.
Maya's lover Tony was dropping us off at the Airport in the morning, and it occurred to me I have not been on the plane for years-and I was not a good flier then anyway.
As we got on the plane my heart started racing.. It was made worst when I turned and saw lil Suzie smiling and not at all fazed by the fact we would be up in the air in a tin can creation by humans. Gulp.
Took pictures to take my mind off that fact..

Obviously we made it to the other side okay, even either with the check out delays. Suzie did a few dances to entertain us:

First thing we did after getting our luggage was get on the Metro to our hotel. It was a cute chain called 4C.

Headed to the main town square after. I laughed as it was called Sol and this band was playing outside:

That and a London reference:
Exploring Madrid showed with it's The Street Performers:

Beautiiful Parks and wildlife:

It's quirky..designs:

d

o

Fountains:

And a zillion Churches...Maya seemed content to see every one first hand and I was ont one to complain- Catholic Churches can take your breath away:

We also sampled a lot of the food there. The food was salty and not like La Tasca at all.I was surprised at the price too!Still the locals were friendly enough. Did embarrass myself with broken Spainish a lot of the time. This was a typical meal..Half pints and potato with sauce. Tasty though :)

The muesums were also something that I admired. They seemed to be one on every street. Some were closed but the one I wanted to see the Prada was open for business.
It was so big we got lost trying to find the exit after a while.
Spain seemed obessesed by having Play parks for the little ones everywhere as well. Good for little Suize who seemed to enjoy herself in her own way.

The next day Sunday was similar in nature: Explore the inside of Spain:

After being woken up by a beautiful Suzie:

We helped ourselves to the buffet breakfast. There was no warm things to eat like eggs or sausages. We were offered a range of buns, cakes, fruit and tea/coffee/ fruit juice. A weird experience for someone how eats hot porridge most days.

We saw some weird buildings like the Spainish version of the Leaning tower of Piza..

(

To a Egyptian temple that they gave Spain as a present..Right.

I feel in love with this Artist to, who was drawing simple designs of wall tiles. I thought he was good enough to buy from. Pity I did not realize that the paint was not dry yet and it got smudged badly :S

We also saw some more gardens:

Saw a wish box where you put the old Spainese coins into it..

And shopped on the main high street with the random dancers:

As our blood sugar was dropping, a meal of random tapas in a cheap looking place was what we did. It was not cheap at all, and the Waiter was annoying. I didn't know he spoke English so I gestured to him for 5 minutes before he let me know. He also thought Suzie was my daughter so led to minor embarrassment..

Chocolate was good-as Suzie shows!

Also got some really cheap Booze. The "kiss" cider was so cheap. Like 60p or so I think.

The wine was nice. Got really drunk and made a fool of myself. After an hour or so drinking, I got it into my head to go to the kitchen and get food. Tried to steal what I thought was a box of biscuits. It turned out to be a big box of juice, 10 liters to be exact. Did not stop me, as, after I realized and Maja finished laughing, I went down for round. I found a load of fruit, In the progress of bringing it up to the room, I got stopped by another guest who saw the big load of fruit and made me put it back. Shameful.

The next 2 days I was along with Suzie while Maya went off to the conference. I thought I would more nervous then I was in taking care of one so young. I think I managed okie though! Took her to the parks mostly. I never realized how hard ot is to manage a heavy buggy and an equally heavy toddler. Glad she feel asleep a lot of the time. Allowed me to go back to the hotel guilt free to have some zzz time myself (Golly, I would make a sucky mother!)

Still fun times though. Was not that impressed by the Macdonald's. I know, I know. I got to Spain and I eat the typical Big mac..So shoot me. Typical English and all..

Maya invited us to join her for the tapas Lunch on Tuesday which was cool. Got to eat all fancy dishes set out in a big hotel..then I took the little one to the park. Unfortunatly that is where my camera died. Stupid battery. I did have one more day more there before getting back to deary England (Weather, so good in Spain. No need for a jacket at all!) I was lucky because, as Maya's work lectures were cut short, we had a free tour guide to learn about Madrid. Went to the palace and saw the Guards changing. Saw the bull fighting place. Saw more gardens and streets. Saw a famous shopping place where all the locals go for fresh meat and fish and olives. Saw the oldest resturant in the world..(Called Botin). Forgot what else I saw. To be honest, I missed London a tad much and was looking forward to jacket potatoes and seeing rainy skies again. What can I say? At least I made a good friend. Me and Maya talked a lot about life, men and where we are heading. She is a smart woman to chat to , and I enjoyed her company. That and Suzie was amazing. Don't you think we look like we are related? tee hee.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside....

2009-10-26T13:00:00.006Z

Oh yes. The first girlie weekend holiday I had and I could not have asked for a better crew. Plan- Go to Brighton for the weekend. Crew- Anna, Brenda, Cookie, Angel. Weather: Against us all weekend!.
Oh yes. When we got to the seaside it was raining for the whole weekend. Typical. We did do what English do best though (after complaining about the weather). Grin and bear it. It was a crazy weekend though.. Friday saw me and Anna get there later then the rest of the girls due to work..After quicky dumping our bags in the Kipps hostel (that was right next to a strip joint-very handy) and seeing the beds that would be ours..I claimed a top one! :)

We went out drinking. Pub crawing to be exact.

Turns out that Brighton pubs are expensive. Did have enough shots and beer to get happily drunk though..including The famous Flaming one!

Managed to persuade the others to play drinking games..Suck and blow anyone..?

;p As Blondie was down here, I made use of the fact and got him to take us to a house party. It was pissing down and we got so lost..Then when we arrived at the damn place the girls were pissed (not in the good way anymore) and wanted to leave. Calmed them down and flited among the other guests like a mad little pixie. Met my much in the pink fairy guy though:

He did show us a good show for more booze was though. He was not that mean.. This guy fixed my camera- he is my hero <3..i size="5">saved me from a cameraless existence..Thank you!

We retreated into someone's bedroom and gossiped and chatted til we got chucked out.

This to Anna was a great crime. No one seemed to convince her that 4am was a reasonable time to stop the party when there was no other guests and no one really knew us!

The next day bore no joy from the rain.

Anna woke us all up in a hyper mood, and after the girls got ready (I don't use make up so I was hopping around impatient), we went for breakfast. I freaked the others by having a triple breakfast..I

Well, waste not want not huh..? The day was us doing the tourist things- Going to the pier, Posing in the rain..

(that umbella broke after 10 minutes due to the rain..(Very helpful!)

playing in the arcades,

going to the funfair (and been disappointed the weather was to bad go on the cool rides). Looked at the parks there

The shops were quirky though..

like Lust the sex shop

and Cyber Candy a retro sweet shop.

We did have a break to think of our next plan of action. Went to a free musical show that turned out to be Eastern European folk music, and dinner in an Indian Buffet. I freaked out people for the second time and ate 7 Plates of food plus dessert. Digusting really!

While trying to find a good club, or at least figure where they are we when we stumbled on a Brighton festival. There was a show on the wall of the church, buses were decorated nicely and there was a man dressed in a dress singing Evita songs. Random to say the least.

o

We were going to go clubbing but accidentally wondered into the west end part of Brighton. It was trashy and filled with drunken people half dressed (or barely even that). Enough to make you never drink again. After an hour of unsuccessful searching for good clubs, we watched the waves and star glazed. I personally think it was one of the nicer parts of the trips. Forgot to mention that Becky, Brenda's friend was also in Brighton and joined us for the day wondering round and eating :)

Got to cold to stay there for long though, so we had a hot chocolate instead. Tasty :) Sunday had us eating our weight in various cake shops

and of course the fish and chips place.

The ice creams were massive as well..All that f0r only 2.50. Bargain..unfortunatly I was to busy talking to Claude on the phone and didn't realize it was melting so fast. It was called a monster. And nope, I did not finish it.Not even close.
It was better then Angel though, as a seagull ataacked her and ended up pooping on her leg! She said in a hopeful voice: "What was that?" in the hope we could tell her better news.

The Old coin arcade, from the Victirican times was a success as well. The machines had us all laughing or cringing. There were skilled games there.. and old fashioned comedy machines as well as mirrors. Anna also had her first taste of serbert I won so that was funny to see her face:

This one especially:

I fell in love with these as well- Biscuit jewllery. Amazing but expensive:

t was a sad time to leave and head back to the station though. I was tired and filled of Chips. I was not impressed by the fact the train was delayed for 2 hours and I had work in the morning. Serves me right for having so much fun :)

Thanks Guys!

A day and a night Stalking People

2009-08-19T11:25:00.004+01:00

Yes. I was being a really bad stalker these last two days..I stalked out both Tom and Claude.(With thier permission though!)

After work I went to see Tom and the Abbey Festival..Free music,Jazz and some plays from what I can tell..

.He works in the Threatre there, and sometimes gives me cheap tickets to see the shows there, at the mini bar and

I was tired and so was he. I talked crap, stole food and accidently remained him he was scared of letting me near his nipples..Bah.

Was being a cam whore though. As per usual..

Went round to Claude's the next day. She was redoing her room and was in the "house wife" phrase of buying a lot of housestuff. Candles, bed sheets and wall pictures being on the list. Still, I saw what she did so far..Loved this corner:

Lunch was good. As Claude is French, I expected great things from her. I was not disappointed..Tuna Salad, Rose wine and Ice cream.We even made a table so we could sit out in the garden..

We soon got restless, so when her mate James made the mistake of phoning us, we decided to crash round his. Getting some beer and sitting in the park made us want to chill with music..

That turned into a mini houseparty as his friend India was also there..We got a bit hyper and poor James bore the blunt of it.

We had this gel that was supposed to make breasts more firmer and toned. James "Volunteered" to test it with his moobs. It stank and as I had it slapped on my face by India, can safety say that it tingled weirder..James was not impressed. Yet to see the results though..

I convinced others to get Pizza after that.. Managed to get a free one. Awesome for me as I chose to eat veggie. The rest battled it out for the meat one. Still ate more then the 3 of them!
It got more and more rowdy. James was being teased mercilessly by all. Dirty dancing was occuring and the pizza and beer was making friends with the carpet.

Escaped from my own doing with Claude about 11.30, leaving with India's friendship and James with a messy room but good memories..:)

Soo..this is the freerun championships huh..?

2009-08-16T08:59:00.008+01:00

As you may well know, I do love mini adventures and experiencing new things. Hence why I was so excitied over the prospect of going to see Professional Freerunners in the World Championship with John yesterday. Yep, Thanks to Barclaycard, 20 something year old males had a chance to dance, jump, spin, summersault, jump, climb and generally impress the crowd with extraordinary movement. And the crowd was certainly stunned! There was about 27 men competing from 17 countries. The best ones I feel were from UK-"Live Wire", America "Lopez" and a 16 year old..I think called Pasha..

The stage had about 4 levels on it. It had scaffoldholding and drainpipes to..

There were 2 accidents though, with clumsy Landings being the cause (I know,the nurse in me couldn't help but to mention it!..they were fine, though no doubt peed off they lost due to tripping, rather then being outshone) Also diversity from Britian's got Talent performed. They were amazing live and I would order anyone that wanted a good clean laugh to watch their performance..Ashley the "leader" is so tall. Seroiusly. Like 6'5. Lovely guy though.

Hmm.Winner was eventually declared as LiveWire. I could see why as he pulled some serious Crowd pleaser like a one hand handstand, and great technique on the bars. He had fluency, talent and a great presence on the stage.. Close runner up was the American Lopez.. Wooh to all those that competed..you guys rock! :)

More info and great pictures are here. Also here:

Wooh, 3 great events in 48 hours

2009-08-15T23:46:00.006+01:00

Wooh. So I have been trying to become more social after hiding myself away from everyone. This is partly as I miss the laughs, adventures and company. Partly as I am secretly a party animal inhiding. Rawr.

The first of the three great events was meeting Rosie, Kyle and Harry for Lunch in Westfield. As usual we were driven to get food in Wagamamma-especially since Harry had 20% for working in the White Company. Awesome.

Oh, Harry got me these..Lifesavers fromAmerica. Lovely!

Gossip was caught up upon..
Rosie-Moving to Shelfield in October and the house party is the end of September
Harry-Going to Rome for a week.
Kyle-Looking for a job for the Summer and awaiting the results for the first year..

Okie, so it is hardly anythnig to cause shock to the world, but it was still good to catch up on..That and be Cam Whoress...

We did stumble on a free gig-Chipmonk..a up and rising Grunge star.To me it was only noise. I had to cover my ears in pain. urgh. Added the fact that the screaming fans were not helping..I was in hell. Urgh.

Shopping was more fun!

Soon had to escape to my next adventure...

Swap a Rama!

It was a event where people swapped clothes. All night. A brilliant way to socialise and meet new people..

Met up with Claude and Brenda in Old Street and raced towards the club...

It was pretty obvoius to find to be fair..

The music was a mixture of 70's to modern tracks. You know when the DJ's is talented when you need to go pee for the last half an hour and you think "After this song...One more track then I will go"...
The crowd was lively too..Good clothes for swapping and a lot of guys with poor negioation skills...I glanced around to see half the guy having only dresses, or swapping their tops for glasses! Only 3 women were down in bras..Aww haa haa.

I managed to get 2 nice tops and a denim skirt, Cluade got a sexy dress, while Brenda got her hands on a fitted top. All in all a good night..Same again next month!

Then the next night(Friday) I went out to see comedy with darling Brenda..She had a share ticket so I decided to claim it. It was a comedy about "the 10 Commandments". Not as edgy or shocking as they could have taken it.. But still an okie night..
We decided to have a mini pub crawl around Camden afterwards. We were horrified to discover there was not one good night advertised in the main clubs. For a Friday night, in the middle of the "Camden Fringe" event about half 10..Shocking. .
Seriously-House music and Cheese was to be found..
Did see a band I fell in love with..A band called "The Jonhson"..The lead singer was dressed as a cat for pete sake...Hair as cat ears!

Anyway..I was glad to get home..Fell in a coma ready for the Freerun competition tomorrow!
:)

Birthday wishes and a day in Camden

2009-08-12T11:21:00.007+01:00

As the lovely nurses did not get the chance to say Goodbye properly on Friday, Dolly arranged for us to meet in Camden for lunch and shopping.
Tis was quite successful.

Although all were invited only Dolly, Nash, Sarha, Verconia and myself came.
Will gossip about the others though:
Belinda: Got a job in St Georges Hospital onthe neuro rota. She is with her boyfriend Vince, who wants her to move in together. She was babysitting (She had a sister who is 2 and a brother 1)

Smi: Is Sad as the hearing was not in her favour. She is appealing against the uni.. Basically the essay passed, but as they accussed her of copying, they failed it anyway..As Smi had no credits leftto fail..they kicked her out anyway (With Kalpana..Same story there). She is with her parents in Farnbourgh.

Kalpana: See above.

The rest are looking for jobs and relexing..
...
Anyway, we went to Max Orient..A place I have been several times before. It is all you can eat Buffet. As it was lunch time it was only £8 p.p . It even had desserts included (extra for filter water..Still a bargain though).

We all ate way to much and caught up:
Nash: Working and Partying
Sahra: Revising for retake of the final exam
Dolly: Excerising and relexing
Veronica: Revising for the next module
Myself: Catching up on the hours I owe..KILLER!

After lunch, we got caught in the rain shopping. Mostly just window shopping..We are all broke o.O

Had to rush off as usual to go to Tom's gathering in Cheam. His birthday is on Friday, but h
e is away..So drinks and clubbing was tonight's plan. At least it should have been if I decided to bring my passport!
Arghhh. Again I forget it. Idiot I know! ><
Hm, I did have a good time though..Caught up with peeps, drank for the first time in Weeks and was a camera whore with everyone. Seemed the whole world was there- From Phoebe to Waffle, John to Rory (and his dick), it was a pick and mix..

:)
I was sad to depart to Chelsea while the rest went off to Black Sheep but hey..More adventures next time huh..?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!

An average day for the Lovers

2009-08-11T13:01:00.002+01:00

Hm, so my life cannot all be parties and farting out glitter. Sometimes I want a nice quiet day eating junk food and playing board games. That's exactly what Monday was about.
With my eye infection and lack of energy, I crawled to Cheam to be pumped up by Chris and John.
It was good I did.

Not only did I have them (kindly) get me pizza (with a zillion chesse bits) we also played a game called Risk.

u
Risk it seems was a game that needed stragetic. It needed careful planning and tactics. It need a person to see the big picture.
I lost. Badly.

Still, with the cherry pie, the bike ride to get it and watching a weird film with Simon Pegg and the guy that plays Ross in Friends. Tis a fun night..

Soo...Finally free are we..?

2009-08-08T12:19:00.004+01:00

Okie, so after 3 Years of slugging it, being bullied, losing sleep and generally facing the toughest course for students, it is time to graduate and put all that behind us right..?

Umm.
Wrong.

Even though the 7th was supposed to be the day we all skipped merrily on the way to being qualified nurses, most of us tripped up near the finishing line.

Oh yes-Kingstonis not letting us go *that* easily!

-Smi and Kapana have charges against them for copying each other's finally essay. They have a formally court case against them..

And me..?

2009-08-03T12:44:00.000+01:00

This post is to show off my sexy hair do done by a good friend Natasha. Enjoy the sexiness..?

A anarachy meetings on Bikes..? I'min!

2009-07-31T21:35:00.004+01:00

John took me to Critical mass today. After waking up, deciding to go with him, and then having a panic attack thinking about the fact that:
1. I have not cycled since I was 14 and even then it it was not on the streetsof London
2. Traffic. Me on an exposed metal device. Not liking the odds
3. The accidents that may happen. Seen way to many disasters when it was bikes vs Cars/Buses/Trucks..The out come is not pretty.
4. A huge crowd of people. Urgh

Anyway, John managed to convince me it was a good idea, and so I went off...

First we went to pick up a woman known as"Sane Becky". I have yet to meet "Starbucks Becky" to compare the two, but she was cool. A traveller it seemed, as she came back from Mexico and was making plans to go back there..

We had a practice round at John's before taken off to the Station,and onwards to Waterloo.

I managed to get 2 flat tires during that time. (Only me, I know!)

Critical Mass was okie. There wereabout 300 or so bikers of different ages and cultures. Once we all got going it was scary. A wave of bikers all blocking the roads was terrifying!
It was good fun though..I crashed twice and kept speeding off from the main group (Elise and Dan were there as well..)
Still, It was useful to see how it was building up my confidence on the roads and getting to know the gears..

We zoomed for about 4 hours around the west end,before the group split up into smaller and Smaller parts.
We decided to head off ourselves..Brought pop and chatted in Waterloo (Well they chatted..I was trying to catch my breath subtly to hide the fact I am really unfit)..

Still...Good night. Wooh

Triple Birthday love!

2009-07-26T15:01:00.000+01:00

First off, let me say this:

Happy Birthday Darling Anna! Thanks for being there for me, thanks for being truly awesome and let us have a good time in East together!

Oh yes, It was Anna's Birthday and it happened in the heart of East London. It was awesome. As usual, I came round way to early in my heels and dress

The plan was to meet at Anna's, go to The star and then go off to rave at Trailer Trash..Still a fun time. I got to meet Anna's lover Ross for the first time. He is lovely.I think I could listen to his voice the whole night..That is not a creepy thing to admit now is it..? Anyway, Sky the cute Japanese, Anna and Ross was mashing their birthdays together..Triple Birthday love!

The pub was cool. Anna knew the guy that owed it, so got a free room unstairs. About 50 Peeps came and soon all you could hear was the buzz of conversation..Yes, there was actual conversation..Even with the drinking going round. Soon after, Claude, Angel (cluade's close friend) and I went to Nandos to eat..We were kinda bored talking and I wanted some comfort food.

Tis all tasty, though we didn't finish all of it..Good job we didn't as the cake was cut and handed out. Brenda works in a bakery and managed to get such a nice cake. Truly it was amazing-Strawberry and Cream..Hmmm :) The party soon being herded towards the rave-Trailer Trash. It was hidden away, so it took us ages to find it. It was in a car park-the club was built around it. There was hay everywhere and a scary scarecrow on the stage.. Still it was a good night for a tenner. The music was so-so to my (indie trained) ears, but even I enjoyed it. The crowd seemed to be 30 something year olds, but as I knew a lot of Anna's friends it was not a problem. Anna was mental and danced like the queen she was. Claude sulked off as she wanted to go clubbing earlier and no one complyed (only to come back later). I was in a coma from coming straight from placement to the party, Brenda was the classic expression of "Grin and Bear it" asshe is more indie then me, and Angel was in her own world...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!

When love is not madness, it is not love.

2009-07-21T16:15:00.001+01:00

Yes. John is back in my life. I foolishly let him back in. No comment please. As Pedro Calderon de la Barca said: When love is not madness, it is not love.

We met, he spoke. I forgive.

I have not forgotten the pain, and I won't forget the humiliation. His choice to try to tame my emotions and earn my trust..Everyone deserves a second chance right..?

Satori..how tasty

2009-07-14T16:38:00.005+01:00

After a hard day of avoiding placement work and then going swimming with Smi in the Kingston Pools..

I was glad to go and eat.

Smi's housemate decided to go to Satori. It is a Japanese Resturant that is like Yo!Sushi- with a dearer price tag. It was good. I was happier when I discovered we get 20% discount being student. Gosh, I will miss that concept of the nursing course!

F

hmmm..Food is goodio

The French and the BBQ

2009-07-09T16:56:00.004+01:00

Summer nights go hand in Hand with BBQ don't you think..? I do like the thought of it-and so did Claude it seems..She decided to have one and tell the guests to bring different food. I was the first to come, armed with meat and Vodka. The BBQ was harder to manage then we realised. It was either all in flames or nothing. We evenually managed, through trial and error to get it to cook the burgers we made. Just before the other guests arrived at any rate! It was a good night! Anna had got these really spicy Polish sauauages, Brenda raped her bakery with all the rolls she got, and there was enough cakes to impress an armyas well.

Jokes were exchanged and the usual topics of parties-people and relationships set the tone for the evening. I was disappointed to have to leave so early-Placement awaited me the next morning..-Sigh- C'est la vie huh..? :)

KU Pride London and all that goes with it..

2009-07-04T18:57:00.001+01:00

Horror for most, fun times with me. Being stuck in the middle of a gay Pride festival with my Mother..
We witnessed these things:

At least she is liberal and not easily offended. Goddess knows I love my mum..:)

(And we went up there to eat. Food you pervs. I know what you are thinking!)

Mustard Bar and a double Birthday!

2009-07-04T09:10:00.001+01:00

Fun times is always on the horizonwhen one hangs with certain people. In my case those people are Nash and Sunshine-Two brilliant friends from Uni.
They decided to have a joint birthday in a place called "Mustard Bar" near St Paul's. For a set fee, there was promises of male strippers, free drinks, a table reserved and the enterance fee included..

Everyone was invited, and it seems everyone turned up-even Dolly!

We sat around socialising..Smi and Kalpana did everyone's make up and Natasha took it upon herself to change my outfit, Dolly looked..well like a Dolly and Sarha laughed and danced.

It took a while before a cab was called and we piled in to go to the club. Between the cabbie lack of direction and Nash's harsh tongue, it took a while to get there. I was glad to pile out.

First impressions of the club was that it was overpriced. Music was okie, but the bar was a rip off. The company was ace though, and I stayed til the end. Belly came with Vince (though left soon after) and Smi had to go back to Kingston with Veronica.

At the end of the night I discovered I had forgot my purse so was near stranded. Thankfully there was a cool guy that give me a lift home with another friend (Of a friend). Whew. He lived really near me as well so was really nice.
Was glad to get into bed at the end. Drunk, tired, but satifiyed extremely..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NASH!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARHA!
LOVE TO YOU BOTH :)

Exam timess

2009-06-25T07:19:00.000+01:00

Final exam to be taken today. It is the management and drugs calculations.

Wish us luck!

Work and no play makes Cat unhappy..

2009-06-23T20:43:00.000+01:00

-Sigh-
Exams are on the horizon and have my nose to the grindstone in learning maths, memorising drugs and trying to complete my final essay...
I am stressed. I am unhappy. I am a final year student.

Hmm, I am not the only one that is feeling teary eyed though-everyone is. This is why this happened:

Yes, sweet, smart Smi decided to lead the pack into teaching us Maths and aiding us with learning.
Well, most of us..I decided my gameboy was more interesting (typical!)

Questions she gave us included:

A client is ordered 37.5 milligrams of Dothiepin. 75 milligram tablets are available. How many tablets will you give?

A client is ordered 35 milligrams of Codeine phosphate by subcutaneous injection. 50 milligrams in 1 millilitre of liquid for SC Injection is available. How many millilitres will you administer?

A client is ordered 2.5 milligrams of Promethazine hydrochloride orally. 5 milligrams in 5 millilitres of elixir is available. How many millilitres will you administer?

Urgh.

We did have some form of play though...
After a hard session we went out for a meal in Nandos..It was nice and relexed, though Dolly had a mini argument with her parents for staying out to late to study..:(

It was nice after. Crashed at Smi's for days after. Poor her.

Summer days for the picnicing brunch

2009-06-17T21:07:00.000+01:00

I do not like the Sun much, but even I could admit that it was a beautiful day that called for a picnic.
Meeting Belinda and her Boyfriend Vince in Green park, we did just that. Between the 3 of us, we had a good picnic. Me being me I also brought a kite and a fisbee.. (What..? WHAT..?!)
I could not get the kite to work despite my best attempts. I sat down in a hump after making my fingers bleed from the strings. Grrr.. Did enjoy the pop though and the fact I won a running race. Sahra and Nash joined after a while to..They managed to have better success with the kite. Jealous? Me..? Extremly...:) Wooh. And Vince told me how much he Loves Belly...Romantic..

A local event is always the best

2009-06-15T21:19:00.000+01:00

Deciding to go to the Lavender Hill festival before a night shift was good and bad. Good, as I had the chance to catch up with a certain Miss Bigot. Bad as I was tired as hell all night. The Lavender Hill festival was to highlight..well Lavender Hill-a street near to Clapham Junction. It has all sorts..Circus performers, free wine, Stalls..even a dog show. It was good clean fun. I did get tispy on the wine though..The guy gave us 2 glasses each..Two full glasses may I add. I also embarrassed myself trying to spinplates..Managed to remember it in the end.Claude did not do as well..

Think I will stick to the diablo!

We won a prize to! There was a puzle-guess the 10 different joints. We did it the fastest the stall people said :)

There was some sexy necklesses she got, but me being broke had to settle for a pair of earrings whichI then lost.. Still, after we got to sleep in the sun on the green before heading off home. Bliss.

Reasons why it R.O.C.K.S to be Single..

2009-06-01T19:03:00.001+01:00

Soo.
As you properly know the long relationship of the man I thought I would marry has ended. No sign of us getting back together.. *I know, he was good, but still..Don't think it be the best idea for Either of us. At all.*

Anyway, I have been dragged to so many "Friends Dates" that even though my heart is full with their love, my bank account is empty. Reminds me of the song by The Holloways..Happiness and Penniness. Oh and maybe Generator mashed in the mix as well.

Oh No,
Now my last penny has been spent
Still my life is heaven sent
Cause i got my friends
To help me through this time
I'll repay you in the end
Don't you worry
I promise you I'll pay you back with Time

It has not been all bad being single. In fact I can think of some good reasons why I am better off:

-I can flirt with other people without feeling bad..(I AM A FLIRT. THAT IS WHO I AM.DEAL WITH IT OR LEAVE MY AWESOME PRESENCE NOW!)
-I can accept people buying me drinking in the clubs
-Spend way more time (and money) on mates
-I can have a lot more time to do things I want
-I will not be criticised for wanting to spend all day in bed while the sun is shining in all it's glory
-I can move in with girlie mates!
-I can go off to Scotland to finish off my Nursing training without thinking.."Nooo, Lover is in London..How will I cope?!!"
-I will not have to listen to stories about car, bad puns, unfunny jokes and house music.
-I can find some one who *actually* into the same things I am into, rather then have to grin and bear it.
-I can eat meat without feeling like I will be punished by not being kissed.
-I can kiss girls WITHOUT having to cheat to do so ;p
-I can sing outloud without people telling me to shut up. (Am I that bad...?)
-I don't have to put on an act in front of his sister or feel like crap in front of his Father.
-I can finally drop the act that running is a good idea. It is not.It never is. Not even running for the bus.
-I can be with those that understand the greatness of Scrubs
-Dirty dancing man.
-I can stop hiding aspects ofmy life that was not *really* accepted or wanted and concentrate on being complety myself with those that like me for me-

Anyway, the list could go on, but I will spare you the boredom and just back the many friend dates I had instead. K..?

:)

-Thanks to everyone that helped me get my smileback.You know who you are. You guys rocks my world!-

A sonnet fromme...To you...

So..Single lady again

2009-05-14T10:55:00.002+01:00

It hurts. It is an end of a long era for me and John, and now that is finished, I feel sad.

14 months, several hundred mini adventures, tears and smiles. All gone.

Still, at least I can look back with fond memories and think we were good together while it lasted..

Goodbye and thank you Mr Stevenage. Have lots of luck and love where ever you go.

So...This is Gaia.

2009-05-11T09:33:00.002+01:00

Gaia.
I have had a love/hate relationship with this website starting from the tender age of 15. I remember seeing a friend from school start playing it, and thinking "Ooohh manga!"

Anyway, some 6 years on the love affair continues..
Lookie at my Avi...

Oh, Just so lovely and Sexy.

Hm, Reasons to love gaia go on and on.

Let us just argee to love it..

Join in the fun here:

www.gaiaonline.com

So...It is May Already..?!

2009-05-10T20:39:00.003+01:00

I never would have thought that the days could slip so much through my fingers. Or I could not hve noticed the days getting warmer, while my course is nearly up. -Gulp- I LIKE BEING A STUDENT NURSE WAAY TO MUCH. Okie, my last placement being the Accident and Emergency is great. Really.Doing a lot of cool things.

Like:

-Given fluids
-Looking after a side of A and E.
-Given injections

-Doing ECG'S

-Learning way to much about trauma care
-Last Rites
-Resus on Cardiac Patients
-Testing Urine

-Triaging people to be seen on the basis of their injury/concern.
-Working as an equal to doctors (I tell them info, they tell me info)

Anyway, aside from that I have no live. I have gotten downto some hard core revision, trying to convince myself to write one last Essay and applying for every Job for the Newly Qualified Nurses. I am growing up to fast it seems...>< Scary Times.. The place I work in is so nice to me. Cake and Choclate appear daily.The boss man is really approachable and I am fitting in. My plan is to suck up to them loads so they can give me a job at the end of August... Wish me luck on that Quest!

Anyway, Camera is broke so no camwhoring for a while...
Sad times..:(

So..Another House Party

2009-05-09T14:11:00.000+01:00

Hm, I always seem to be dragged into house parties at the moment. I find it weird considering that it Summer and the fact that most of them are not in the Garden. Weird that English People cannot trust the fact that Summer is here...THERE IS SUN HERE PEOPLE. NO LIE. Anyway, the party in question was Natasta's friend. Named Natasta. How lovely. The took place straight after my placement, so I was tired, sweaty and had no phone battery to take any sort of decent Photos. It was a tragic affair. Still, there was food there, as well as a lot of alchol. Nash brought this really dodgy Cranberry vodka Urgh it was nasty! Too sweet and burned.was forced to listen to every sort of music exceot Indie, but still..It was bearable. Plus the people there were lovely. I was called "Baby" for obvious reasons, though didn't mind it.. Was the firstone to leave though around 3am..And even was forced to argee to let someone drive me home, as they said night buses are dodgy. Good times.

(Nash needs to give me the rest of the photos..Before you ask!)

Viva! Viva! Go La Rebla Fam!

2009-05-07T14:53:00.000+01:00

Wooh, it has been far to long since I went to any gig, never mind about LRF..Thanks to Anton catching me randomly in Fulham and handing me a ticket I was able to go to one of their gigs at last. The gig was in the Arch, a hideaway heaven for music in Clapham North. For once I was able to arrive early enough to catch the other artists as well. One singer that caused shivers all across my back.

Hannah FairLight.

So talented and so good. American touring around England. Catch her. You will be in for a really good cheat. ^_^. Anyway, back to LRF.

(Pixs for you..)

Nothing much to say news wise about them. Recording, gigging and doing a music video was about it, in terms of news and adventures.. The music washed over me though as soon as they started singing. Shouts of VIVA! were screamed in admiration.. In the last song, all the girlies and me stormed the Stage and was singing and dancing to "Ghetto".

My voice was near gone and I laughed so hard I was ill. Also was introduced to a pair of women. They said they were in the music music as well..

http://www.myspace.com/rednpinkmusic

Awesome singers and dancers.. Wooh!

Can't wait for the next gig guys..You rock! :)

NewCastle here I come!

2009-05-04T18:03:00.001+01:00

Newcastle.A place far up north England. So far from London and where John is working for the next few weeks. Also the place I spent the weekend with him. Fun times.
Being a student and extremly poor, I decided to get the coach up there. It took 8 hours.It was tortue. Still, to see my lover again was worth it. John came down twice, His friend Dan stalked him at his hotel and now it was my turn.
I came at the right time as his company gave him a flat while he was up there, as well as a generous living allowance and a maid.
Getting off the coach after entertaining myself by bitching about the ride, I found myself falling in love with the town and the people. A city full of Ant's and Dec's. Joy.

The flat was on the other side of town, and me being me I got lost.Even though a nice guy drew me a fancy map I got lost. I know..Useless aren't I..?

John was doing a test, then buying a bike, then fixing the bike over the few days I was staying.eI was pissed, but what could I do..? I did like the bike he got though. Broom. Sexy..

I entertained myself in exploring the many cultural places. There were several art galleries like:

A better version of the tate modern in our dearly London.

A mixture of the Science and the Natural History Muesum. Inferior to both though..

As well as the photographic gallery and weird exhibitions that were random.

Walk by the River Tyne was cool. There was a lot of country side there.

A lot of animals to. There was the EAT festival on that showed the lifestock. All of them looked me in the eye which made me feel guilty of being so in love with the taste of their flesh so much. Going to try really hard to give that up!

The town was pretty as well..

Our China Town was better though..This was the only good shot there:

Also had a good resturant or two..

Even Rolo stalked me up there:

Did spend some time with John. Cooking mostly..amoung other things..:P

It was a sweet weekend, that ended all to soon...A kiss and a quick lunch was had on Monday, and another eight hour coach ride back. Was trapped inside a hot metal container for the day with screaming kids in my ear. Not happy at all about it.. Still, next fortnight I get to do it all over again.. >

Happy birthday Harry!

2009-04-26T18:48:00.000+01:00

th
It was Harry's birthday celebration and as he was turning 21 he wanted something really special.Cinema, Dinner, drinks, club, sleepover. With Rosie, Kyle and myself. (others coming later) I was destined to spoil it. I arrived home from night duty and threw myself into bed. I woke up to late for dinner and cinema, so met them as they were finishing at Henry J. Beans. Judging by the complaints I did not miss much! (Iam not the biggest fan of burgers anyway..Especially expensive ones that taste bad anyway!) We soon trooped back to Harry's for alcohol games and getting changed. I got drunk fast after having no dinner, and I also had to then go home to change my outfit. I was told that in no way was it okie to wear jeans into Punk. Rosie also did my make-up.

Hm, we got to Punk just after 8.30. I managed to get free shots for the first round, which was awesome..The drinks were way to expensive to buy many! The club itself was okie, though I did enjoy the music. Not as good as Metro or the famous Roxy's, but passable
Met up with two old faces as well..David and Gary, who popped by to say hello..Then they disappeared and never returned from theit hunt for food-how rude. Grr..

Harry was a loon and danced every track, til we got told to leave. All was so tired by then, we were grateful for the bus to Harry's, crashing on the sofa's.

Good times.

So..Painshill Park in Easter

2009-04-16T22:55:00.008+01:00

It is not often now I get to see John due to him being in Newcastle, so when he said for me to meet him I agreed..He said he had a surprise for me..It was to take me to Pain Hill's Park-One of the places we went when we first started dating. Tis was good as we were in time for the Easter egg hunt.

The Easter egg hunt was not that hid to figure out. Being the brilliant spies we are, we managed to get the culprit..A certain Mr Borris the Squirrel. He was the one that stole the eggs. Greedy..

Explored a lot, and was stopped by eating all the berries on the trees/bushes. It seems that watching Ray Mears did not qualify me to eat random vegetation. According to Mr Don't-you-dare-even-think-about-it" Stevenage.

Also took lots of pictures..As usual..Enjoy :)

So..John used to Blog.

2009-04-16T20:49:00.005+01:00

I was talking to Rolo and the convo of Old blogs came up. I used to keep diaries since I was 6 and it was only recently that I decided to keep my thoughts and memories on line..This is due to the fact I can pretend to be "Studying", the ease to include photos without printing them off and the time limit. Plus the Pain of rereading the entries-Let's just say knowing that a lot of people are going to reread what I hastily type, makes me want to be *Slightly* less emo.. Anyway..

John's Blog:

Rosie's blog
Rolo's myspace
(She has loads..But cannot remember the addy of them. Tis!!)

First internet Love
First Blog on Blogger
Then Second

And of course.Myspace! (Which was inbetween the blogger 1 and 2)
(You get the point..See how I improved. I was so bad at writing back..only slightly better now)

So..A roundabout Conversation!

2009-04-15T21:58:00.004+01:00

Drug Calculations are on the Revision list:

As most people know, I cannot do Maths well AT ALL! In fact it is my weakness. Urgh..
Poor Shane spent longer then necessary trying to teach me the easier way. Book says one thing. Shane says another..Ididn't know who to believe so I gave up. Damn it all. Anyway..

P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:38):
5. A patient is prescribed a stat dose of Atropine 600 micrograms.

The pharmacy supplies ampoules containing 1 mg/5ml.

How much do you give?

Need help
MR X says (21:41):
3ml
because there is 200ml in every ml
so 2 * 3 = the 600
i mean 200mc in every ml
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:42):

1000 mcg to every mg
What..?
Explain more please
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:43):
Need help
Step by step
Idoit proof
What is happening tomorrow..?
MR X says (21:43):
no
stop
i'll explain
1mg in every 5 ml
1mg = 1000 mc
MR X says (21:44):
if we divide 1000 by 5 you get 200
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:44):
yessss
MR X says (21:44):
so for every 200 we add
so 200 + 200 + 200 = 600
mc
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:44):
Why divide 1000 by 5
Is it not
MR X says (21:45):
its the most basic
if you do it shorter you can work it out for example
10/5
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:45):
What is needed/ what it comes in times by the liquid (mls)
MR X says (21:45):
give you half
so its even
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:45):
Noo
Need the formula
So I know for other times
MR X says (21:46):
okay you need 600mg
well you said it
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:46):
yesss
MR X says (21:46):
what you need
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:46):
So
MR X says (21:46):
divided by what you got
timed by what you have
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:46):
600 divided by 1000 x5
Gives a different answer
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:47):
Nope
MR X says (21:47):
no
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:47):
Sorry
Trying to do it manually
MR X says (21:47):
look sometimes that formula is shit
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:47):
And getting mixed up
Don't confuse mee
MR X says (21:47):
most of the time its common sense
MR X says (21:48):
lol
okay
have a break your working too hard on it
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:48):
Noo
. just. don't. get.it
I cannot break it down
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:49):
Like you did
MR X says (21:49):
what dont you get?
okay
LOOK
1mg = 1000mc basic
for this equation 1mg is 5ml
MR X says (21:50):
that's key
you need 600 mc
now if you simplify it you can have it in tens
for example
10 the total and you need six
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:51):
yesss
MR X says (21:51):
so if you count how many times you can divide into 6 you get 3 times
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:51):
But then 6 into 10 turns it into decimals
MR X says (21:51):
because you add by 2
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:51):

MR X says (21:51):
no you thinking too far ahead
its basic
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:52):
NOPE
MR X says (21:52):
you need 3
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:52):
Sigh
MR X says (21:52):
out of five
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:52):
need 600, got 1000
MR X says (21:52):
so imagine every one ml consists of 200mc
you're doing it wrong
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:52):
600 into 1000..60 into 100 6 into 10
MR X says (21:52):
one more time
MR X says (21:53):
1000mc in every mg
1mg = 5ml
you need 600mc
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:53):
6 divided into 10 equals o.6
MR X says (21:53):
1000 divided by 5
not 600
= 200
200 = 1ml
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:54):
o.6 x3 equals
BUT WHY DIVIDE THE 1000 BY 5ML IN THE FIRST PLACE!
MR X says (21:54):
1000 DIVIDED BY 5 NOT 600
EQUALS 200
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:54):
Thats what I want to know
MR X says (21:54):
you dont!
you had the wrong way round
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:55):
WHY ARE YOU DIVIDING THE 1000 BY 5
MR X says (21:55):
i mean you do!
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:55):
O.o
MR X says (21:55):
because thats how you do it
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:55):
Noo
MR X says (21:55):
because that's how you get the 1mg!
i mean 1ml
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:56):
The book says it is What is needed/ what it comes in times by the liquid (mls)

Not
MR X says (21:56):
well it's wrong
you divide what there is into the current formula
MR X says (21:57):
so you divide the 1000mc into the 5 ml
P.i.X.i.e: Is hiding in her purpleness says (21:57):
But why..?
MR X says (21:58):
because some of the book out there are shit, because some of the nurses who made those books are bad at math and because it's the only way you can do it
try it
tell me it doesnt get 200
because it does
and then that 200mc is you basic 1ml
so how many 1ml's will you need for 600???
THREE!!!!
and that's maths

So, guess whose Back!

So..A random hobby

2009-04-14T21:46:00.001+01:00

I decided to take up kinitting. Not sure why. Probably the fact that anything is better then studying and I must admit the thought of carrying a sharp pair of neddles is delightful..
There is also A FREE class in Peter Jones for people to get advise from other people and socialise. Iwas the only one without kids or little nieces/nephrews. Lil bit Awkward..

Still, wouldn't say I am the best at it. In fact, I am rubbish. This is my effort after an hour:

As you can see, it is so crooked. Stitches are neat though..Thank God for small wonders huh..?

I wanted to make a scarf..Maybe I could pretend it is for a very small bird instead..? Or deny knowledge of starting this damn hobby instead..?

So..There was a Pepsi Party

2009-04-14T20:14:00.000+01:00

Since John is in NewCastle for 3 months and he has escaped for the weekend, He thought it would be cool to have a massive meet up with all his friends. Including me.
I was so hung over, having crawled into my own bed at 7am and getting up at 10 (house party-left at 6ish).When John meet me I was feeling ill.
Still, it was nice to spend time with him and others-Ant Draper, Waffle (Maggie), Dan Ginger and Becky. Bit weird though, considering that me and Waffle clicked and got on a little to well.
It seemed to be a corprate day, as we met in Starbucks, had lunch in Spoons and had a pepsi party in the park.

During that time, Waffle and I giggled and bullied those foolish enough to stand next to us..I bite Dan (He refused to take a picture with us), Waffle put Vinger in John's beer and we almost stole a pair of Rabbit ears from Claire's as John marched us out of the store before we had a chance to take them off..:P
The Park was good though..We had a pepsi fight. John was more upset by the fact that pop was wasted in getting our clothes wet, rather then going down our throats and I was fuming as I was trying to bully John and Waffle kept hitting the wrong target-ME! Ant and Becky was the only one's safe from this explosion of childness.Still it was a release..(Almsot sexually even..:P) I made a daisy Chain, a playfightwere Dan lost to me and Waffle was to be had,Becky sunbathed and Draper was pretending to be Buddha.

John just kept drinking the remaining pop and watched as his friend got bullied..Feel only slightly bad for that. Too soon, Goodbye was to be said..At least it was good times. John had to get back to Newcastle, I had to study and the others went with the wind.. Memories.

So..What a houseparty

2009-04-14T10:35:00.000+01:00

An escape was what I prayed for while I sat in my bedroom bored. And escape is what my friend gave me when she told me there was a houseparty in Bush. Yes, my dear Natasha texted me and told me that she was invited by her friend Ricky and that I should come to..I was delighted (tired though I was) and argeed. However, after meeting her and Sarah there, I discovered that we were stood up. After an hour of waiting in the cold for the ride back to his.

I was shocked and the other 2 gals were fuming. Still, it turned out to be a fun night in the end. Decided to go to the tube and there we meet this lovely guy called James. He was tispy, Austrialian and invited us back to his with the promise of getting us alchol.. Well, a party is a party right...? True to his word, he brought us what our heeats desired..Unfortunatly my voice was not loud enough and so we ended up with Brandy, not Rum. Grr. Still, we went to his and was introduced to his friends. They were all really nice guys..Which made me feel bad that I threw up after one to many drinks (in the bathroom,without *much* mess..But stilll..So unladylike..) AND threatened to break the ipod due to them playing Dance. Anyway, we stumbled out of there at 6 in the morning still really drunk. I was forced to eat a Maccie D's and got home at 7. I was groaning as I thought I had to meet Richard my ex.John was back from Newcastle and so wanted a big group to gather to see him..(Luckily that was not the case!) Anyway..Pictures of the night are here:

So this is the last Term..

2009-03-10T13:32:00.004Z

Okie, So I admit. I am a little Scared Bunny as I in my last term of Nursing. That is it. Yes I am going to be qualified in August...
Sad times.

So due to the fact that I only got 5 months left to cramp in as much Nursing knowledge into my head,that should explain why I am a nervous Wreak. That and my Social life has suffered with the amount of work that has being piled on top of me.And the blogging. And the little mini skills I try to sneak into the day like Card games and diablo..Anyway, excuse the rambling..Promise I will type about the adventures from now on.
And not how Stressed I am about the Uni. Ekk, Wish me luck!

Soo...A girlie truth in this I fear..

2009-03-10T13:16:00.005Z
