I find this accurate =) :: +Memory :: Share :: Reply
1) Went to Brockenhurst (New Forest) with my sister. 2) I came home for all of about 3 days. 3) Sorted a week of work (DABS - kiddies playscheme thingy. Did it first 2 years ago). 4) Went to Cornwall. 2 weeks in the caravan with my parents and sister... --> Had a bit of drama when Charlotte won tickets to Westlife on the Isle of Wight...much confusion, long story which I CBA to go into...conclusion: I stayed in Cornwall and she (discovering that her tickets were in fact VIP) got Mark to call me. Here be the convo... Charlotte: Hi Laura, I'm just going to ask Mark to talk to you. Me: Yay, thank-you! Charlotte (background): Mark, can you talk to my friend please? Mark (background): Yes, what's her name? Charlotte (background): Laura Mark (background): Ok Mark: Hi Laura Me: Hi Mark: How are you? *tiny gap* Sorry, it's going to have to be really short cuz I've got to go on stage in a minute. Me: Ok, good luck! Mark: Thanks. Ok, sorry, I've got to go Me: Ok Mark: Ok Me: Bye Mark: Bye *hang up* Me: *SCREAM* The next thing I did was go and apologise to our caravan neighbours for screaming so very loudly n_n I don't think anything else needs to be said about Cornwall...did much other fun stuff but that has all kinda faded in comparison. He's got such a lovely voice, I adore that gorgeous blob of gayness! Um...I'm fairly certain there's more to say (and not about Mark) but my brain's stuck on that now... I'm home now! That's something else to say! It's nice being home after 2 weeks in a box with my parents and sister =D
1) Jamie got a haircut! This may not sound like a huge deal but it was longer than mine and really quite nasty but now it's significantly shorter and quite sweet and emo =D it's taken all of 4 years (and his school prom being tomorrow) to make him let it be cut! 2) I called the nice DABS lady (Denmead Activities and Bible School: a weeklong playscheme for the kids in my village) and I'm being a helper again =D But not on the sports group this year...with a group in a tent, so I'll get to know a bunch of children rather than getting horribly sunburnt and being all 'OI! Blonde boy! Stop hitting ginger boy!' 3) I arranged to to Charlotte tomorrow - woo! * * * So there you go. Now it's now and I'm looking at my room thinking 'I should really finish tidying this once and for all...' and also 'Need to plan what I'm taking to Brockenhurst too...' Because I'm going there on Sunday (with my sister, not Toby =( Not being horrible but I really think I'd be looking forward to it more if I was going with Toby).
-> I watched TV and generally did stunningly little until 3 when I... -> Went to Havant to try and get volunteer work at Off The Record but I'd have to do a training programme, which I'd be due back at uni by the time I finished it. They were very nice though and told me a bunch of similar places in Brighton so I might volunteer when I'm back there. -> Then I had a micro depression where I went all 'I'm gonna do nothing all summer...I'm gonna end up killing someone'. Because most paid employment would want me asap, whereas I want to go to Cornwall with my family thus being able to work from August onwards. -> My Dad came home and said he might be able to find me some work to do at his office...thus I may be a lil Zurich Insurance chica for the summer...only time will tell. Because I'm bored! *Stoled from Beaky!* 1. Put your music player on shuffle. 2. Press forward for each question. 3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn't make sense.

I happened upon this... be tickled, people, be very very tickled. http://www.rahoi.com/2006/03/may-i-t "Fuck the salt (beautiful pole) duck chin" O.o; "Cowboy Leg Beautiful Pole" - how very Brokeback.
We (as in everyone, organised by the university) had a huge garden party yesterday, with free (FREE) Ben and Jerry's, a barbecue, a bouncy castle and a DJ. Me and Becki played quite a bit of giant Connect4 (2-1 to me) before flopping on my blanket and being Ladies (as in the wives of Lords) of all we surveyed. We went to Westlain House restaurant with my food vouchers (mmm...free food). Then we came back up to my flat and were civilised (i.e. we drank tea =P). Charlie told me he was having another camp fire and maybe sleeping outside again (he did it the night before as well) and he'd knock for me when it was got going. So at about midnight I moseyed (as much as you can mosey that distance...the field is HUGE) down with Henry and some guy called Adam. There was Charlie, George, a bunch of other random guys, some American girls (from north Ohio...spent most of the evening telling the boys they were building the fire wrong XD) and a little guy called Morgan who reminded me partially of Dom (my sister's friend) and partially of Elijah Wood (but not too much...EW has scary eyes). I got into conversation with the American girls (in particular, Laura, who got VERY drunk) who Morgan was hanging around with (think they live together). Mainly conversation revolved around the general uselessness of the boys' fire-building skills and recording Laura being drunk and explaining the sex positions she knows (apparently only the missionary position and doggy style) and illustrating her descriptions with little hand people getting it on. I ended up leaning on Morgan (bless him, the others were there asking each other 'would you snog Morgan? have you had fantasies about him?'...again mainly because they were drunk). I should not be allowed to meet people...I informed him 'I like you: you're warm' O.o; I swear I wasn't drunk! I had only had two sips of Strongbow (actually doesn't taste too bad)! He coped with my randomness well though, 'Thanks, I try'...probably he thought I was round the twist...or an extreme lightweight. Anywho, a few people went in to sleep and I went in to get my duvet. By the time we actually decided to sleep (about half three) the sky was starting to lighten and the birds had begun tweeting. You don't realise how loud birds are til you're trying to sleep through them and can't...Which is how I came to have a grand total of two hours sleep. I woke up at about half five the first time and thought 'Where am I? Why are the birds so loud?' Bless me =D Anywho. I am fully expecting to have a nap later...probably an involuntary one. Please excuse any typos or bits that don't make sense...you read how little sleep I got, right?!
Apart from this quizzy thing I have done sod all in spite of having exams next week. I am therefore very very stressed...nobody mess with me! I have concluded that I probably don't have a cold, the chances are its hayfever. I also have somehow managed to take off a bit skin from behind my top front teeth. It hurts a lot! My quiz results:
Didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night (Henry's music and excitable butterflies kept me up til 3am) so it's kind of impressive that I'm still awake now (at 2am) when I'm normally asleep by midnight... Tried to do some work this afternoon but it REALLY wasn't happening...the butterflies in my tummy weren't cooperating at all. Not even slightly. I gave up attempting to work and moseyed (sp?) into Brighton to buy some sweets before meeting Charlotte at 6. Bought a t-shirt for me and a mug for my lil sister (Cathy). There were 3 support acts: Nylon (a girl band from Iceland, quite female-Westlife-ish, the best of the bunch); 4th Ba5e (who me and Charlotte decided were Sub Base 5 who were support acts two years previously. They pretty much stunk); and some teen diva come over from America who was getting all Mariah Carey/Princess Diva on us. We pretty much hated her. But then…WESTLIFE came out. They had laser thingies and all manner of technological goodies. They were WOW. They sung, in more or less this order: 1) ‘Flying Without Wings’ 2) Bit of ‘Señorita’ by Justin Timberlake 3) ‘When You're Looking Like That’ 4) ‘Amazing’ 5) ‘Against All Odds’ (Mariah Carey (ewwwww) video voice on the big screens) 6) ‘When You Tell Me That You Love Me’ (Diana Ross on big screens like MC) 7) ‘Billie Jean’/‘She's Back’ (Medley) 8) ‘Uptown Girl’ …a weird version. I wasn’t sure I liked it much. 9) ‘Addicted to Love’ 10) ‘Colour My World’ 11) ‘Hit You With The Real Thing’ 12) ‘Doncha (Wish Your Boyfriend was Hot Like Me)’ 13) ‘Hey Whatever’ 14) ‘The Dance’ 15) ‘I Wish’ ...or a song that goes a lot like it 16) ‘Mandy’ 17) ‘Seasons In The Sun’ 18) ‘World Of Our Own’ Señorita…Westlife doing the "It feels like something's heating up, can I leave with you?" man bit, and the audience (predominantly women) doing the girlie "I don't know but I'm thinking bout, really leaving with you" bit. Good fun! Though people who don’t have JT’s album were probably confused… Between Billie Jean/She’s Back and Uptown Girl they teased the ol’ audience…there was us being led to believe they were gonna strip. They took off and flung their jackets and their solitary Wacko Jacko gloves…they edged their trousers down so you could see the top 2 or 3 inches…then decided, ‘nah’ and pulled them up again =( Doncha amused me no end. I object to the ‘girlfriend’ version because I would be traumatise if Tobyus wanted me any different but it’s an altogether different situation when it’s girls wanting their boyfriends different (highly hypocritical…double standardfest)…I nearly forgot Mark was gay with all the swooning. There was much thrusting…if the striptease didn’t make my eyes fall out, the thrusting certainly did! Mark - *sings* Doncha wish your boyfriend was hot like me? Me – I love him to pieces but hell yes! Would never even consider leaving Tobyus if he was! I feel really bad for typing that now. Anyway…The Dance is a song from their next album (they don’t normally sing future songs on current tours) and it was pretty good. I’d wanna give it a few more listens before I pass too much judgement. Me and Charlotte scooted out mega-fast after Westlife said their goodbyes even though we knew they were probably gonna come back and do another one or two. ‘WHAAAAAT?’ I hear you cry. ‘That’s MADNESS!’ but this meant that we were round the back of the Brighton Centre nice and fast so they couldn’t sneak out without us knowing. We were right at the front by the barriers between the Westlife tour bus and the VIP entrance/exit. It’s a good thing we didn’t wait until the concert was over really because the crowd soon built up so we couldn’t leave even if we wanted to (which we didn’t!). We waited… We waited… We waited… Charlotte made friends with a partially sighted girl (Lauren)… We waited some more… Charlotte and Lauren were allowed the other side of the barrier because of disabilities… We waited… The security guys got a cup of tea… We waited… They put their cups of tea down… We figured something was going on… We saw Shane and SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEAMED! Whereupon he got quite annoyed and shushed us because Gillian (Mrs. Shane) was coming through with sleepy baby Shane and scrambled on the bus with them. Having seen baby we got kinda sheepish and apologetic. Then Nicky came through with Georgina (Mrs. Nicky) and herded G onto the bus. While Nicky was making sure his good lady wife was safe, Mark came through and did a few signings. Having made sure Nicole and Gillian were tucked up safely, Shane came back out and did some signings – more than Nicky (who also came back out) or Mark. Charlotte was hugged by Nicky and got his and Shane’s autographs (and possibly Mark’s too…). Kian went home early (misery =P). When they all got on the bus it hung around for ages and we were thinking ‘Well are the coming back out or what? Who are we waiting for?’ We waited… We waited… We waited… A big burly security man came out of the Brighton Centre with Nicole’s bottle of milk… We awwwed. The Westlife bus left. Charlotte had said that they (her mum and stepdad) would give me a lift back to uni. So I went with them when the boys left. Of course I don’t know where I’m going by car because on the whole I get the train so when they asked if I knew the way I said ‘No. I can still catch the last bus back though’ and I very nearly ended up doing that. But then Charlotte (bossy article such as she is) said ‘No, it’s safer if we drive you’. We followed signs for the racecourse because I know my way from there…but then that was the other side of it and I had no idea what was happening. So then we got a bit lost and Jez (Charlotte’s stepdad) got very stressed. Fortunately we found a taxi driver who directed us back. By the times we got to the right side of the racecourse, near Woodingdean I knew where we were…but then Jez flew right past the turning for Falmer and we had to turn around (amidst much swearing). I said thank-you a LOT to try and calm the troubled Jez and set off into the Paddock Fields. I was a good quiet girl because it was midnight by then, texted Becki to see if she was still up and went on MSN to KT, Beaky and Jamie. When Bex texted back (she was still up lesson planning for Monday) I went over there for a bit and babbled Westlife at her and Owain, who seemed impressively interested, though he did spend quite a while staring at the spliff he’d rolled. When Becki decided she was tired and herded me out I typed up most of this (up until the bit about Nicole’s bottle) before I eventually decided to go to bed at 3.30…the adrenaline had left me by then!
Crazy day - I booked my ticket to see Westlife aaaaaaaages ago (as in paid in about November ages ago) and it's just crept up on me! Not that I forgot about it, you understand, i just looked in my diary to write down some meetings for uni work and THERE it is, on the page in blue biro - WESTLIFE @ BRIGHTON CENTRE - SATURDAY 13TH MAY. So then I thought, 'bloody hell that's close!' and proceeded to decorate my room with excited memos so i can't forget again...I have a big one of my door, 'SATURDAY ^^' stuck on my big ol' flag and a countdown thingy as well! Toby's gonna be so glad he's coming to see me this evening...here to witness the over-excited glee! n_______________________________________ in other news, i learnt about anorexia and bulimia in psychology and its cold and raining today, compared with yesterday which was sunny and hot. Just gonna have me a micro-gig in my room now. ^^ (Emotion now - excited) * * * 4pm I went round to my friend Elsa's and we got talking about the assessments and i'm going to be ridiculously busy now until the 2nd June! This is my timetable: 11th May - practice presentation (with various preparation meetings beforehand) 13th May - Westlife concert, with Charlotte sleeping over afterwards (therefore NO work getting done) 15-17th May - Poss going home to empty my room of things meddlesome little cousin could play with and see my Nana and Pop. 23rd May - Research Methods coursework due (is group work, as such requires numerous planning meetings); and Beaky's acoustic night with her sleeping over afterwards. 24th May - Psychology coursework due; and Lisa coming for a visit (if I saw her much I would cancel but I can't because this is the only time she can come and I haven't seen her since August) 25th May - Assessed group presentation (with numerous meetings beforehand and preparation of visual aids and handouts) 30th May-2nd June - Psychology online test thingy 30th -31st May - Approaches takeaway exam 2nd June - Research Methods exam. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT QUANTITATIVE RM! I'm gonna go cry now. The pressure is just too much. (Emotion now - uber-stressed) OVERALL EMOTION = OVER-EXCITED - UBER-STRESSED = INDIFFERENT
So yes, I was told about my modules i can choose between this afternoon and i've got a week to decide and hand in my form or i get it decided for me O__o apart from that, today has been good. did some work in the computer room with my friend (when she EVENTUALLY got out of bed...grrr...i'd rushed to get ready to get to her flat on time and she was still asleep!!!! >=( ). had a big ol' plate of chips for lunch, read a good lot of azumanga (thank ye mr toby!) and becki cooked my tea (chicken n rice with veggies) =D And i decided earlier i'm gonna go into town tomorrow...have a lil wander round, poss do a lil shopping and wander along the seafront (if its a nice day). ^^ *hugs to all* xxxx |
