General stuff

Ok, so I got back from the states just over a week ago, had about 5 hours sleep and went to get my A level results.

They were worse than what I was expecting, and so I didn't get into Manchester uni, but that doesn't matter now as my second choice uni, Aston, decided to accept me. So I now know where I'm going to be for the next year. And I'm looking forward to it. It should be fun. But at the same time it's a completely new experience. Yeah, I've been getting used to not being around one parent for a few weeks at a time, but there was always the possibility of going round to the other house, as they were only across town. Birmingham is a little bit further away. But as my mum said to me earlier, it is only a 4ish hour drive or a 2 1/2 hour train journey, so it's not too bad I suppose.

When Ryu heard what I got we arranged a get together to make me feel better about it, but by the time that arrived I had been accepted, so it turned from a condolences to a celebration. Invited baka around, and watched a few films. Then next day played Trivial pursuit... Without the board or the counters or the wedges... So basically had a general knowledge quiz.

Ok, if you were asked "What do call a meteor that doesn't burn up in the earth's atmosphere?" I said Armageddon, I mean if that happens you're pretty screwed, as it'll crash to Earth, probably with giant ecological affects, making the earth inhabitable, and so yeah, the end of the world. I don't care that the correct answer was meteorite, if it was to ever happen it would be pretty close to Armageddon!

So I finally turned 18. But we didn't do what I wanted to do for it. I would have quite liked to have gone out for a meal with my family, but dad said that we'd been doing that for the last 3 weeks in the States. But then that was because we were basically in a different place every other night, and so if we didn't go out for a meal we didnt eat. This was meant to be a celebration of me turning 18. But hey, I still had fun. Went to the cinema with some friends and saw Charlie. How that film was only a PG is beyond us, but yeah it was cool.

Had some friends round yesterday for a meal which I cooked with Judi assisting. Seemed to go down well. Was good to see poeple again. A couple of hours before it started got a call saying that Lucy had gotten into music college, which I knew she was ecstatic about. So yeah, was really happy for her.

Also reminded myself during the evening just why I like cooking so much and the exact reasons as to why I dont like whiskey. OK? I don't like the stuff! Right, now that that is out of the way...

Today has been sort of a wired day. Not quite sure why, it just has been. Been thinking alot, which is never a really good thing for me. Still, was bound to happen sooner or later.

God I feel old. I mean, yeah, it ws my birthday 3 days ago, and I was cool with that. But the last couple of years it been ok, I turned 15/16/17, that's fine. Now all of a sudden I'm 18, and I'm an adult, and I can do all these things that I couldn't do legally before, and I dunno, I guess this birthday has hit me harder than all the others. M'eh.

Wow, this is a completely random post. Guess I do ramble on about random things. Sorry if I have confused anyone by all this, I guess I'm just having one of those days. So I'm going to end this here.
