So...
Quick note, this would have been up before midnight, but Blogger wouldn;t let me in... so it's ever so slightly out of date now...
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow:
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
So, I said I’d have an update up soon. And if this goes to plan, this will be a fair length. But we’ll see. Depends how much I feel like writing, what else I think of that I have to do, and how tired I get.
I've had a cold this last week. It’s not been fun. But I think I have finally worked out who to blame for it. And it isn't any of the 3 people I have been blaming since I got it. So sorry to those people, the majority of whom don’t actually know I have this… So yeah, it’s Ed’s fault. I was sitting next to him Monday and Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning I couldn’t breathe through my nose. It was not pretty.
And I got a little worse on Thursday, and I could go into the whole immune response and why that happens, but to be honest I don’t think anyone would care, and to be honest I can’t be bothered to write it up anyway. So yeah, I felt like death warmed up on Thursday. And I ad to go into uni to give a 10 minute power point presentation on ants. Don’t you all wish you were me?! Turns out technology really hates me at the moment though, cos it wouldn’t load up. Which, yeah, was kinda nice cos it meant I didn’t have to talk to 10 people when all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep for a month. The lecturer (Dr. Field, ironic as the report was on ecology no?!) was really nice about it, and said that it was just one of those things that happened and that I’d just have to do it at a later date. Turns out by that he meant the next day.
But that was ok, cos by Friday I was beginning to feel a little better. Didn’t feel like sleeping forever at least. So I went in and gave my presentation on my own for 10 minutes. And then spent about 10-15 minutes listening to him essentially rip my whole experiment/report to shreds. Nice guy huh?!
I may have gotten him back for that by crashing his computer… seriously, it froze. He had to re-start it and everything. Are you sensing a pattern with this whole technology thing?!
We have to write a 3000 word essay on a topic. And the great thing is, it doesn’t even have to be biological. It’s more for the writing essay than for the topic. But anyway, I decided to do mine on depression. It’s just something that I like t write about whenever I get the chance. It’s strange, but sometimes it puts what happened to me in context, you know?
Anyway, so after having Field rip my presentation apart, he then started asking me about this essay that I was going to write. Now bare in mind we’ve known about this task for a grand total of 24 hours or so. So I only had a very rough idea what I’m actually going to be putting into it. So then we spent a good 20 minutes discussing what I should put into it. Things like the genetics of, but also to mention the environmental triggers. And how there’s the 2 main types. And then even go into the biochemistry of what's happening in the brain, and then onto treatments etc etc. And then after this chat, he starts asking if I know of any studies and where to go for others, and then he says “Oh, I might have some reports. Give me a second to look”. He then goes over to his reference material; picks out a couple books and reference material that HE’S used in the past, and was like “have a look over these. Just remember I’ll want them back!” Nice guy huh?!
And as a parting note, he told me that if I hoped to have any chance of passing any exams at the end of the year I had better not have given him my cold. Not that I actually get him for any modules this year and so he won’t be marking anything…
So (It has just occurred to me how often I’ve said “so” in this post already. Sorry about that. I have a question. Last year, there were 5 people sharing 1 fridge freezer. And I normally had enough room in it for all my stuff, with a bit of room to share. Now this year, I haven't been buying much more than what I had last year. Ok, so there is another 2 people in this house. But then we also have another fridge/freezer in this house. My question is this… if there is another 2 people but an extra fridge freezer, why do I not have any room in the fridge for my stuff?! I mean, seriously, I have the smallest shelf anyway and yet people are still using it as an overflow for their stuff. Meaning that when I come to put my stuff in the fridge, there is no room for it. Unless I play jumbo. Seriously. I've had to balance stuff on top of other stuff and then move other people’s thing just to get everything into the gorram fridge!!
I got kinda bored yesterday. Woke up at about 8, and was thinking of what to do for the day, when I noticed my Firefly/Serenity DVDs. And for all my love of the show, I have never actually sat down and watched the series then the film in one sitting. So I did. Well… almost. There was a break for about half an hour when I went for some food and ran into Simon in the kitchen and we got chatting. Turns out he has actually seen a few episodes and has the film on DVD, so I may be lending him my box-set sometime soon. Makes a change form people who have seen the film but never heard of the series.
Though saying that I suppose I was technically one too. I mean, I knew there was a series by Joss called Firefly, and that it had been cancelled after its 14th ep, but I didn’t realise that Serenity was the continuation of the series. Though I do now, so that’s all ok…
Anyway, in chatting on, Simon said that the film took place sorta mid-season in the series… NO!! Very very big no… definitely after the series! Anyone who has seen the series and film knows what I mean. Anyone who hasn’t… well, you should!
I think I may have annoyed a couple of people yesterday when I was watching it though. I kept texting random things… so yeah, sorry guys. And because I was watching the series and film yesterday, all I can think of for quotes is Firefly/Serenity quotes, and I’d probably end up quoting the entire series or something, hence the lack of quotes at the beginning of the post.
My train tickets arrived yesterday, so I’m definitely coming home on Friday. Woop!! And I’ll try to get to see people who I didn’t get to see when I was up 2 weeks ago.
I didn’t realise just how attached some people could get over some items of clothing.
I got an e-mail the other day with qualities that you’re meant to have given the month you were born in. had a quick look to see if I agreed with it or not, and it’s actually sorta freaky how many of the qualities I agreed with…
------------AUGUST--------------- outgoing personality. Takes risks. Feeds on attention. No self control. Kind hearted. Self confident. Loud and boisterous. VERY revengeful. Easy to get along with and talk to. Has an "everything's peachy." attitude. Likes talking and singing. Loves music. Daydreamer. Easily distracted. Hates not being trusted. BIG imagination. Loves to be loved. Hates studying. In need of "that someone". Longs for freedom. Rebellious when withheld or restricted. Lives by "no pain no gain." Caring. Always a suspect. Playful. Mysterious. "Charming" or "beautiful" to everyone. Stubborn. Curious. Independent. Strong willed. A fighter.
I’ve totally misread a number of things today. Chatting to Lucy online, and she said “It was windy. I can’t point windy” As in lots of turns. I read it as the weather. I was like, “Well who can point windy?!” Only to realise that it wasn’t the weather at all… About half an hour later I was headed to town to get some food, and read the time the train got to Birmingham as the time the train got to my station. I turn up about 5 minutes before I though it was due, and then by the time I realised that I’d read the wrong line, there was no point in going back home. Se, the thing is, I didn’t just do it on the timetable at home, but on the one at the station too. And that has the station times highlighted!! And I STILL misread it!
And now, I decided to put on Garden State soundtrack, then to put on 3 Doors Down. Looked at the cover, Put the CD on, and only when the music started did I realise that I’d picked up 3DD, and not garden State!
It’s a good job I've got an opticians appointment on Saturday ain't it?! Though the way I'm going I’ll be reading the line above/below the one I'm meant to be reading!
Been listening to a load of music recently. Probably been driving the house mad, but stuff them! Lol. The main reason I ain't put any songs/albums/lyrics up at the beginning is cos I've listened to so much I cant think of what I've listened to. Does that make sense?!
It’s bonfire night tonight. Quite a few displays going on that I can see out my window. Though none as long as last night. This one house had fireworks constantly going off for about 5 hours last night. If not for the date being one off, I would guess they were going for the longest household bonfire night firework display record… if there is one… hmmm…
So way back in, oh, October(ish) 2004, I made a list of 100 things about me. I've been thinking about revising it. But I'm not sure. What do people think? If I was to do it, would you read it or just skip it? Cos I ain't gonna do it of no-ones interested.
Lyrics#1- If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
I know what I said, but I’m currently listening to that song, and sometimes that’s how I feel. Not sure why, but there it is.
You know how I was saying that I had a TKD grading last week and that I thought I had completely flunked it to a new definition? Turns out I was wrong. Again. I passed. I don’t know to what degree I passed, but at the end of the day that won’t matter until my next grading. (Lol) I still passed. So I am now a 5th gup, or Blue tag, or half way to my black belt... however you want to look at it.
We do a module this year called nutrition and dietetics. Which, oddly enough, looks at nutrition and diet (!) Anyway, last week for a practical in the subject I had to keep a 2 day food diary of what I ate. But it wasn’t as simple simply “Toast” “Chicken sandwich” etc… it had to be everything. So toast became “slice white bread (farmhouse) toasted. Butter. Fruit jam.” And not only did we have to write down everything we ate, we had to put down info about it. Like weight. Energy content. Protein content. Etc. It made me look so bloody retarded about my food!
Turns out that as much crap that I eat, I actually eat ok overall. And that my average daily energy sources are pretty much within 10% of what was thought up in 1991. So naturally since finding that out I've had very little to eat at all, never mind totalling everything up!
I had so much to say when I started writing this. Now I can’t think of the words to put my many many thoughts down. It’s weird. And a little disheartening. My brain is so active it can’t hold a though for more than a couple minutes at most. So by the time comes for me to write it, it’s gone. Hmmm.
My great grandmother died 6 years ago in a couple of weeks. And then my great granddad died 4 years ago a couple of weeks after her. I don’t know why I’m telling you all this. I was just thinking about the time of year that’s coming up. I have a number of reasons to hate it actually, now that I think about it. Not only those deaths, but my parents will have been separated for 2 years in about a month. And by the end of January they’re probably going to be divorced. I'm not saying probably because I thin that they’ll get back together. I'm not naïve in that way. There is no way that they will get cold feet at this last hurdle and get back together.
I say probably because it all depends how long the processing takes. Because their solicitors are saying it’s easier to claim separation from the day the person moved out, they have to wait until the beginning of December for that to happen. Otherwise I think they’d be divorced by now.
It’s strange. I don’t think I'm ready for it. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I know it’s coming, have done for the last 2 years. But its one thing to know that eventually your parents are going to separate and another thing for the date to soon arrive.
Lyrics#2: I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cos if I cant see you
Then you cant see me.
Sorta sums up how I've lived my life the last couple years where family has been concerned.
I’ve managed to depress myself, so I’m stopping here. I’ll write some more tomorrow.
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
