Here is a tip – don’t try to do clever Politics essays at 20 past 2 in the morning. Sometimes I wonder where I went wrong with the time of day I do my college work…Well, I have it done now, and its not tooo bad, but I don’t know, that’s what I think at 3 in the morning, lol.
Hmm, this year, so far, has been pretty bad. There is a part of me that wants to just start again from the beginning, but I can’t, so I guess I should make the best now…but I do wonder where it all seems to have gone wrong. [read more]
I have just been talking to Geraint on the net, and he told me that Ben (W) is going out again…but this time with…well, he made me guess (I thought about it, but I wasn’t sure, so he told me the first letter, Z, and I got it from that)…Zoe! Now, what is so special about that? Well, when we were all at school together, Geraint and I noticed that they constantly flirted with each other, and we made a prediction that in the end something would happen. Nothing did. Soon enough Caroline came along, and things started to blossom there. We predicted this time that he would end up going out with her, and sure enough, he did (I don’t know, if you are a long time following you might remember, lol). We also said that it wouldn’t last too long, and we were right – it didn’t. Now though he is with Zoe…that prediction from ages ago (ahh, how satisfying!). I asked Geraint how long he things it will last, and he only gives it a few weeks – they don’t live anywhere near each other, and they don’t go to the same school/college, and we don’t really see how they could see each other unless they go out of their way especially, and Geraint, who goes to the same college as her, informs me she has become a bit of a ‘Sl..i..ag’, on top of that, as G put it, he does seem to have a knack for getting though them, sooooooo. Hmm, I didn’t make any prediction (give me time, and I will do, just let me sleep on it 😉 ). Hmmm, I just had to tell you that, its soo exciting (I’m sure you agree, lol). [read more]
Honestly, the police told us. Yesterday when I was in the afternoon, my mum came up and said there was a police woman downstairs who was trying to find out if there was anyone who had seen an attempted break in next door. Apparently someone had tried to get into his conservatory, but had been scared off. Now our kitchen looks out straight over his conservatory, and they think that a light coming on in our kitchen scared them off. Next door went to bed at about 12, and my parents went to bed at about 11, but I went downstairs at 1.30 to put the bread on for the next morning…and put the kitchen light on. I can’t say I realised, or that I saw anything, but they think that me going down to make the bread scared them off, lol. I don’t think they would have got away with anything if they had got in – the alarm would have just gone off, and they would have gone then – but its always nice to know I probably prevented it.
I haven’t written since Christmas so I will try to get this up-to-date now. [read more]
I actually don’t know when the last time I wrote in here was, or what I put, so you will have to excuse me if I say things again, but I will try not to 🙂
Well, since I broke from college I have to say I don’t feel to have stopped (not that it was that long ago). Wednesday when we finished I saw Natalie for the evening, and then came back to do some college work. Thursday I didn’t see her, and I needed to get some more presents for Christmas, so I set off at about twenty past 8 to get into Halifax and get the 9.10 bus to White Rose (I thought I would go there, because I might be able to get what I wanted for my mum’s birthday, and maybe my parent’s Christmas presents, and some ideas for my grandma…in the end I came back with none of those). I got there about 5 to 10, and set about looking round all the department stores for a choppy thing that my mum wanted. None of them had one. I wandered about a lot, looked in HMV at the DVDs and some music, bought none of it (actually I thought I would buy one as a present to my self if I got all my shopping done that day…but I didn’t, so I didn’t get a treat, lol), then went on to Woolworths where I bought a chocolate orange for everyone who will be in our house on Christmas day, and then on to Clinton’s for my mum’s birthday card and some more wrapping paper. I had some lunch, and then set off home again. I was back by 1 which was quite impressive (hmm, I say that, but it was a long time to buy some chocolate oranges, lol). [read more]
It’s been wonderful, really, really nice.
On Saturday, I went to theatre school as normal, and met up with all my friends and Natalie, then we went off to Burger King as usual, and ate.
Natalie was supposed to be going on on her work’s Christmas party (and I was supposed to be shopping with Ben for Christmas stuff while she was there), but it was cancelled, so we had the whole day together. We went to visit her grandparents, and then… [read more]
I have been meaning to do this since Tuesday now, but just haven’t got round to it…so, here goes…oh, and you know what it is all about now from the title…I think I should come up with some more original ones, I’m just not very good at them!
The week at college has been pretty dull with just normal college type of things going on. It was also parents evening yesterday, which my dad went to by himself because my mum was on a conference. It was just what I thought it would be – a waste of time. Kevin (my politics teacher), was in a meeting when my dad arrived, and then had to dash off (even though he had appointments), so my dad was told that he would ring today (or yesterday now…but I’m calling it today because I have been up since – its still my Thursday, hehe). Duncan (physics) told him what he told him last time that they spoke, and David just said I was doing fine, and that he thought I would do well in the kind of thing I want to do at Uni (actually, I didn’t know this until today when my mum told me (my dad didn’t tell me, but told her and she told me…), but he apparently said he thinks I should do a PhD…but I’m not too sure, how does Dr Jonathon sound, lol 😉 I don’t think anyone can say that I should do one at this time in my life!). So I think my dad thought it was a waste of time evening as well. [read more]
Hmm, I had my last lolly today. They lasted longer than I thought they would actually. It was the first few days that I managed not to eat them and just look at them all lined up nicely, but then when I got stuck into them I couldn’t do anything about it, and they were gone one a night, lol.
Hmm, anyway, what did I want to talk about? Ooh, I know – the firemen. Well, they are on strike now for the second day (its a 48 hour strike, and they have had 24 hours of it (well, about 30 hours now)), and I’m not sure if I am on their side or not. Actually, I think I am sort of half and half in favour – I think they do deserve more, but I also think that what they are asking for it just a silly amount (for those who don’t know, they are wanting a 40% pay rise). The army are covering while the fire service are away on strike with their old ‘Green Goddesses’, which are quite obviously not up to the job (it looks like they are just loaded up with garden hoses…). Some people have talked about the army getting the red fire engines which are sitting not doing anything in the fire stations, but I have to admit that I don’t agree with that – it would mean crossing the picket lines, and I don’t agree with that, just on principle (still I do see a problem with public safety…difficult one, I think). Just on the same subject, I get the impression the firemen aren’t very good at keeping to their strike – I read in the paper about how they left the picket when they saw some of the Green Goddesses passing them, and went to help…part of me wonders what the point of being on strike is if they are not going to stick to it, but then again, I do see why they want to help…hmmm, oh well. And finally, on this – my prediction is that there will not be an 8 day strike in the next few weeks, but we will see…just my prediction 😉
Seeing as I was talking about the Army there a bit, I may as well mention that they were in college today trying to get people to join up. They were supposed to have paintballing on the lawn at the front of our college, but I’m not sure how well that will have gone down in the pouring rain. I didn’t stay to find out – I went to see Natalie. I rang her last night, and she wasn’t well and said she wouldn’t be in college today, so I decided that I would go and pay her a visit by surprise. I got soaked though getting there, but it was worth it I think…I got to see her, and cuddle her a bit. I hope it made her feel a bit better at least…and she was dead sweet in her dressing gown, awww poor little thing. While I’m on the subject of Natalie, she is coming here to stay over on Saturday night, which will be nice. My mum wanted to see us actually (we usually stay at her house, and my parents wanted to see us, because they like her, and like seeing us, hehe).
Well, I’m going to clean my teeth now and go to bed, ready for college tomorrow, and what will no doubt be another great physics lesson (ooh, is that boring at the moment, lol). Never mind…has to be done 🙂
Oh dear, I think I have done it again – its just gone 2am, and I am still doing college work :-\ Actually I am writing an email to the person at my mum’s work who is in charge of the silver surfers project (to get old people to use computers), about my computing project – I’m making them a program to replace the paper system for tracking the punters, lol. I always end up working late on things like this!
Anyway, tomorrow I am going to seen Natalie (yey). I miss her in the week…I mean, this week has been better than normal because we had Tuesday, and last week we had Wednesday, but normally its awful, I miss her so much when we aren’t together. Hmm, last night we argued again…and it was about the same sort of thing as before. I know why she feels the way she does, and thinks the things she does, but it hurts that she feels that she can’t trust me. I’m trying my best to do everything I know to do to make it so that she trusts me the way I trust her, but it just feels like its not working…I think, deep down, that is must be, mustn’t it? I mean, it must make some difference somewhere, even if I can’t see it now. Yes, it hurts that I feel that she just wont believe me whatever I say, no matter what I say, when I know I have never lied to her, and I never will do. It hurts that whatever I do it feels she is always looking for me to do something that might indicate that I’m not telling her the truth in some way…but I know why, and I don’t blame her for it…but it still hurts, you know? God knows, I’ve cried about it for the last few nights, and I can’t help it. The thing is – I love her, I really love her, and I can’t fight the feelings that I get when I’m with her, and I can’t pretend that I don’t feel the way I do when I talk to her, because its there, and its not going away. I love her, and I’d do anything for her, and I want to help all that I can…I’ll wait if she wants, I’ll be there when she wants, anything at all, because there is no point in trying, and I don’t want to try, to do anything but that when I feel the way I do. We talked tonight, for a while, on the phone (initially about this) and it felt so good to talk to her…I said this to her tonight – when I told her that I’d be there for her forever, I meant it, and I still mean it, I’ll mean it no matter what, because I love her.

Ooohh, I know its beeen tooooo long, but I have had loads to do, and I haven’t had chance!
Well, today was a good day – I got payed lots of money for two jobs that I have done. That is always useful with Christmas looming round the corner, and my parent’s birthdays to come first as well…about the only thing I have to make up for that is my own birthday is before all those, hehe. Sooo, yes, I have two cheques to put into the bank tomorrow (and then I have to wait to be ripped off for about a week while they hold onto the money I should have in their own hands, blah). [read more]
*Yawn* Hmm, I dont know why, but I’m so tired today! I slept in for ages, and it wasn’t as if I got to bed that late (hmm, must have been about 2…hehe), and I slept yesterday afternoon, but I’m still tired, don’t know why. Anyway, I’m going to be in bed by 12 tonight (that was the plan anyway) – it’s back to college tomorrow, and although I don’t have any lessons untill 12.45 tomorrow (because of this new 2 day timetable thing), I still have to be in at 9 for what will be, I’m sure, a total waste of time meeting. I don’t know what I will do with the rest of the time I have to spend before tutorial.
This holiday has gone too quickly. I suppose its because of the very long weekend at the beginning of the week (the Jubilee), mainly. But anyway, I can look forward to only 6 more days of college (how good does that sound, lol)…spread out over 3 weeks (slightly less good)…meaning only 17 1/4 hours of lessons left (heh, how sad is that, counting the hours 😛 ).
Yesterday I met Natalie in Halifax, and we came back here. In the afternoon we went with my mum (my dad was going to come with us, but he didn’t get back from the other house soon enough), to the Halifax charity Gala. It was better than most years, but you know what that sort of thing is like, its not great. I suppose it is a nice day out of the house, and the atmosphere is good, and I got to have an ice cream (I have been after one for ages, but I havn’t been able to get one because wherever I went the vans were either just disappearing over the hill, not working, not there at all (like at the market, grr), or there when I was going past on my way somewhere else! Anyway, I got one, lol.
The other notable thing was that I saw James. We were friends at primary school, but he changed schools (from the one I was at, to a private one, a few villages away). We didn’t see each other much after that, but we did occationally. The thing is, James always wanted to be a paramedic when he was at school, and yesterday I saw him – now a memeber of St John’s Ambulance. I was really happy. Sadly he was ‘working’, so we didnt get to talk to each other, but we passed, and smiled. I think thats great 🙂
So today, I have done very little. The most notable thing being that I made some cheese scones…they are very nice, but no where near enough cheese, so I will remember that for next time, lol.
