HRGHHHHHHHHHH

My parents didnt cancel their milk deliveries and the veggie patch is pretty much coming into season.

I CAN'T DRINK THIS MUCH MILK OR EAT THIS MANY RASPBERRIES. IT'S NOT PHYSICALLY POSSBLE D:

And 2009 continues to be the worst year EVER!


Edited for clarification;

I crashed my car, rear-ended a truck towing machinery, managled the front of my car and barely left a scratch on their towed wood chipper aside from broken brake lights on the trailer thing. Pretty much completely my fault obviously, but to compound the matter, my family left on their holiday that morning at about 6am, they've gone to L.A. for two weeks so I couldn't get in contact with them till about 3am GMT.

 

Felt like shit yesterday and emo as hell, feel better now, been on the phone to my uncle since he's pretty much the only useful family member I have at the moment and set up an insurance claim this morning after a nights sleep and calming down.


I feel a little vindictive over the whole thing, the only reason I was out driving yesterday morning is because my parents forgot to pick up their passports when they left, so I had to drive out about 100 miles or so to meet them in Surrey to give them the passports so they could make their flight. I'm a little bitter over it all.

Oh a totally random note, we were forcast to have a heatwave this week, I can't speak for the rest of the south coast of england but here it's raining :/

I passed my 2nd year with a 2-1!

I totally forgot today was results day, we're having a joint birthday party tonight and I was so caught up in the fact that I hadn't bought any presents yet, I got up early and went down to town to do some shopping. Wasn't until I got back and heard Alex bemoaning that they still hadn't released results yet that I remembered it was the 24th.


This year the 2nd years got their results emailed to them rather then having to look it up on the uni site (which subsequently crashed and had to go down for several hours maintenance last year D:) but about half an hour after I got back I hear Liz shout that she's got hers so we all ran off to check our emails. We all passed!

I didn't even scroll down in my email to look at my indevidual module results, I only processed as far as "Congratulations, you have passed your second year on your first attempt." before yelling out "I PASSED!" and running around the house and dancing around the sitting room with Beth whilst we let off party poppers. We were so convinced we'd have retakes this year!

Oh man.
I feel so good today  I don't wanna dampen the spirit of it all by doing work on my dissetation but I really should D: my part one literature report due in for friday and it still needs a good bit of work. House party tonight and I dun think much work will be done!

Today the google map car drove past me whilst I was walking back from campus.

I struck a funny pose.

Gotta remember to look up the Reading area next month and see if I appear!


Also, lolairsoft, too tired to write about it now, stories for tomorow!

Going out airsofting again on sunday (shooting people with bb guns :D) but... this time it's in an underground bunker. So.. Mmm. All the previous times I've used camo over the top of lightweight trousers and a long sleeve top but urghhh this time we don't get cover alls since it's indoors.

I don't think I have any well padded dark clothing, sucks.

Gonna have to go out and buy myself some stuff I think D:

ON THE PLUS SIDE :D

This time I can wear my gloves without them getting wet, god damn getting shot in the knuckles/hands hurts like a bitch.

Whilst I was sat downstairs earlier today, Beth reminded me it's the summer ball this coming Saturday.

Urgh.

I totally forgot it was this weekend and I haven't booked any tickets to go back home. Probably end up staying at someone elses house. I don't have the money or the inclination to go to my uni ball this year (I went to my halls of residence ball in first year and got wasted off my face ._.;; ) at any rate if I wanted to try buy a ticket off anyone now it'd cost me upwards of £100 and I left my dress at my parents house <.>;

It's not that I don't want to be around at all, it's more that I can't stand dealing with drunk people when sober D: Beth said she'd keep her room unlocked for me if I wanted to use her TV or play on her Wii, I'll think about it :x
I did the exact same thing last year a couple of times and disappeared out of halls of residence to other peoples houses or halls whenever there was a formal or disco I wasn't going too 8D


Bleh I wish I'd remembered to get some tickets to go back home, it's the folk festival this weekend too, my sister works in one of the cafe's down in town back in Wimborne so this time of year means she gets worked off her feet doing icecreams and sandwiches, she said she'd smuggle me some free icecream if I went down to visit her D: I'm missing out!
And why yes, I do come from such a backwards in the middle of nowhere place where we still have folk festivals. it basically means the town fills up with crazy morris dancing (lol), marching bands and street markets and stuff. It's pretty neat so long as the weather holds out :D I haven't been in a while but I bet it's still pretty much exactly the same as it was years back.

The internets gone down but I'm suddenly really struck with the desire to write up a livejournal update so I'll do it on notepad and post it later.


THE GOOD


I spent last weekend and some up with chaoz_jamez  which was fun as always, even if I did manage to bring rain with me yet again >: I even had fun at Salvage on FFXI! We ate too much snack food and played too much video games, whats new. The video games was fun, though I'm still a pussy and Silent Hill is creepy, but urghhhh the snack food. Since I pretty much cut that crap out of my food at uni eating lots of it made me feel pretty ill D: But I suppose thats a good thing... kinda? I certainly dun wanna look at another chocolate bar for a while.



THE BAD

I keep procrastinating real bad on my literature work. I have to do a 3000 word report by the end of this term (26th) detailing our dissetation work, method, why etc etc. I've read three papers and two books so far but I still have a load to do. Hopefully I'll have it in hand by this friday when I have my next meeting or else my professor might rip my head off. I got three pages of scrawled out notes but alas, most of it's still questions like "How is best to do this?" and "Whats the ideal sample size???" with very few answers. Sigh.

Also the procrastination... I cleaned my room yesterday rather then work, it now looks weird D: Today I did all my washing :D



THE UGLY

I broke my work laptop good and proper this time round. I'm holding onto it so I can see if I can recover the harddrive since it has all my art on it :/ My gran left me £250 in her will which gets cleared next month. It doesn't seem like much but I don't particularly care, mum will get something like £90,000 from the sale of the house which is nice... well, okay nice isn't the word I'm looking for here really, but you get the idea. Shame it'll probably get taxed to hell and back, inheritance tax is horrific for anything over £30k or so.

I was gonna use that and some of my savings to splash out on a new destinctly average PC but... I realized I still haven't done any preparation for Ayacon, or even registered a place yet, so... I think PC will hold off for a while again, and that money will go towards Aya and whatevers left over I'll spend on something nice.






On another totally random side note, I managed to get stuck with dogsitting the family doggy over summer so I'll be back in Dorset 29th to 17th or so at least. Probably gonna end up having to commute back here to Reading at least once or twice in that time period though, how fun <.> Was toying with the idea of bringing Sash up with me to Reading and letting her stay with me in the house for a few days but my family wasnt quite so for that idea, how lame!

Popping home for a weekend and a few days, laptop not fixed so not taking that with me neither am I lugging the xbox home for just a few days so guess I'll catch up with people next week ;x

Gonna be a fun packed weekend of rubbing it in sisters face that she still has a month or so of exams and mine are over, and maybe some super father/daughter bonding, also slightly more melancholy stuff as well which is the reason I'm going back in the first place but oh well good with the bad and all that business.

I had a dream I owned and drove a Bugatti, I was so sad to wake up and realize this was not the case.





Laura are you free Monday morning maybe?, idc much for trying to meet up with Cheryl or Charlie on my brief sojourn back home now exams are over :D I was wanting to spend more time back in Dorset but my 3rd year project lecturer wants me to be back in Reading by Wednesday T_T I got like 4 papers and some research to do before then or else he's gonna get pissy with meeeeee >:

Sods law I bet this is where Charlie reads my LJ for the first time in like 3 years. /touch wood




OH. God.

How could I forget this.
Yesterday was Beth and Alex's last exams, Alex came home wasted, he'd been drinking champagne and tequila's (wtf combination) god I hate dealing with drunk people when I'm not jolly myself. SO MUCH EFFORT TO GET HIM TO LEAVE MY ROOM D: He spent 20 min sat on my room floor whilst I was playing on the 360 and wouldn't budge >:

Then for some reason he decided to go mow the lawn, being the faithful friend I am I kept an ear out for any shrieking that might indicate he mow'd his foot off but no, he gave up after about 10 min on our overgrown back garden, looking out there now he managed to mow about 4m^2 if that. SIGH.


And another random news item, in delicious flaunting of our house contract, we bought a fish tank and some goldfish. Now alongside the 6 human occupants we also have Maudred, Marge and Archibold the 3rd. The first two are a couple of Black Moors, google them, they look fucking rediculous, and Archibold is uhh... a fantail I think, or shibunkin maybe. He's a dick and steals the other two's food.

I CAN HEAR AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN (properly)

Was stuck for things to do earlier and ended up picking up the guitar and messing around with chords, sounds a lot different when I can hear with both ears 8D


For the past few weeks I've had my exam timetable pinned at the top of my livejournal entries so I can see it every time I check my lj. Feels kinda satisfying to delete it at last, done with this years exams... until possible retakes in August .____________________________.


I won't dwell on that just yet :D

Super fast 10 min sketch.
