I'm really not good at this blogging malarkey

So I'm back in Nottingham now, and it's about a million times better than last year. Instead of crappy, falling apart, noisy halls, I live in a lovely clean quiet flat. The only thing I miss about Pevs is Adam and Gina. Never thought I'd miss those two-hour one-sided conversations about cricket, but there you go. (love you adam)

Honestly I'm much happier than I thought I'd be. I figured I'd be super homesick, but so far I'm okay. I miss my family but after the summer it's nice to be away from them. Most of my friends at home seemed to lose interest in seeing me (not looking at anyone in particular, oliver) so I can't say I miss them too much. I'm sure I'll see Matt soon and we'll go party. Maybe try and get Aids as well. (hahahaha) I miss Jess but I only saw her a few times this summer too. Wish I'd got to see Yallop before I left though :(

So really the only bit of Norwich I really, really miss is Matthew.
:(
I can't wait to see him on Friday. It's my grandparents' golden wedding so I have to go home for it, but not complaining - two big posh meals, a boat trip, and three nights at home with my boyfriend? Sounds like a plan to me.
It's just a bit weird being without him, after having spent pretty much the whole summer with him living in my room!
We'll cope, I know we will, it'll just take some adapting.

I went to City last night for the first time in months and it was such a fun night, I don't think I've had so much fun since the first time I went. I don't even know what made it so much better than other times. I was in a bloody good mood for some reason and only got sad when I got a little freaked out by a friend of a friend of a friend whose name I don't even know and went to sit in the basement to hide hahaha.
But yeah, fun times!

Uni starts again on tuesday and I get another year of Vicky. JOY. Looking forward to Psych with Ben though, that'll be fun as usual hehe :D

so yeah, overall (minus the matthew bit) I'm glad to be back here. Should hopefully be a fun year. :)

Haha holy crap

This was meant to be a semi-regular thing and now I've gone pretty much two weeks without a post. I guess it just shows how dull my life is right now.

Work: I did five hours this month. Five. Wonderful.

Uni: Going to Notts on Monday to sign my contract at bloody last. Still need to find £200 odd for my deposit, that'll come out of the old overdraft for sure. Looking forward to the move-in, it'll be nice to live in a tidy uncluttered place for once in my life.

Matthew: Lovely as always. We're coming up to seven months now; best seven months ever, srsly. Not seeing him til Weds though due to him going home and my aforementioned Nottingham trip. Booooo.

Today: Went to the shop with my dad and bought Waterloo Road series 2 for £6. Bargain. Nothing on the telly and don't feel like watching another episode so may well bring out CSI or Peep Show, which incidentally is starting up again in one week's time. Yeah this time in six days I will be halfway through a new episode of my favourite Brit comedy. :D

Speaking of Brit comedies Matt introduced me to the IT Crowd which I found hilarious, we watched two series in two days and now I need to find a S3 DVD somewhere.

I have been playing the shit out of Final Fantasy VII again; my first videogame love. Three days and I'm at the start of disc 2 and 17 hours in. Wahey. Can't stop playing but at this rate I'll have it beaten by Thursday. Might have to bust out VIII after all.

If anyone wants to hang out any time soon let me know, I'm totally bored and need stuff to do. Entertain me!

Chuh. This is becoming a less and less regular thing. :(

Went to work today! All together now: Yay! Work!

Actually it was OK. I got to play with some really cute kids. Rules state that I can't name 'em even though the odds of anyone from work finding this are next to none, but child protection is pretty serious stuff. I especially loved chilling out with M and S (har har); did not love carrying a screaming wriggling T out of the room so we could all go wash our hands for lunch. Two year olds, pssht. Working again on Thursday but that's it for this week.

Now relaxing on my bed with a cup of tea and a Double Decker for later. Mmmmmm.

Doctor's tomorrow for an asthma check and AT LAST a new prescription for meds. YESSSS sweet sweet salmeterol. <3

Then Leo's party on Friday which I'm REALLY looking forward to, it'll be awesome to hang out with a lot of people I don't really see much of any more.

Then Saturday I believe Matt is having a thing at his, hopefully I'll be going to that with Matthew but maybe not with Matthew depending on the hangover. I don't suppose he'd mind being left at home, he has WoW to keep him busy, though he'd be too shy to go downstairs alone to get a drink or food or... anything. I'd much rather have him come to the gathering but we shall see.

Sunday I don't think anything much is happening. Matthew'll be working and I guess I'll just hang out. Monday will be the same then - HORROR - dentist's on tuesday for a probable root canal OH GOD SAVE ME

I've noticed a disturbing trend lately.

Having spent a few days in the city lately, I've been taking note of cool outfits on other people for inspiration, and I've noticed something horrible.

Leggings as trousers.

The trend appears to be centred as part of the "uni chic" style - messy bleached hair, ballet flats. Usually this style features tracksuit pants and a baggy hoody, or a spaghetti strap top in the hot weather, but now it appears to have mutated into a long-ish t-shirt or, more commonly, a long shirt, with or without a belt, and leggings.

Or even worse, jeggings. (Leggings designed to look like skin-tight jeans.)


Newsflash ladies: NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR BUTT... OR EVEN WORSE, YOUR CAMEL TOE.


Please stop this right away. Just wear a skirt or jeans, how tricky is that? Did you forget to put your skirt on this morning? I hate you.

Sorry for not blogging yesterday, I was with Matthew all day and didn't find the time. He's at work now and I'm just hanging out waiting for him to get back.

I went to the dentist this morning - so I probably need a root canal, and they're gonna take off my veneers and get rid of the tooth and give me nice shiny new crowns. Hmph. Would rather not thanks. £200 I don't have. Hopefully Mum will cover it. On the plus side, perhaps the crowns will look better than what I have now. And it'll be a relief to be able to eat on the right side without PAIN.


I'm loving Reuben's compilation, which arrived yesterday :D It's beautiful. I love the vinyl, it's signed and makes me happy. I'm seriously considering getting it framed. Well worth the £25, for sure.


I'm planning on applying for a driving licence very soon. I need real ID. :(


I don't really have anything else to say today :s booooring. tata.

Sunday

Sundays are pretty boring, there's never anything on TV during the day, so I've spent the afternoon (morning was sleep time) browsing SA and Facebook. Now I'm watching Friends and waiting for my tea. Epic, huh?

CSI Sunday tonight; five back-to-back episodes, though I've seen one. Sweeeeeet.

Matthew'll hopefully be here later on, depending on his train and stuff. He should be getting into Norwich any time now but he's going home first to get some stuff, since he's staying here most of next week probably.

I might have to work tomorrow but hopefully not. Matthew has a day off so I'm hoping to spend it with him, go into the city and stuff, will be fun as long as I don't get called in. Fingers crossed! Probably jinxed it now...

I have nothing much to say, just wanted to fill my requisite blog quota for today.

Oh, and no Reuben compilation but Joe has his so hopefully mine'll arrive tomorrow. And I need proof of ID for my phone contract but they want a license or a passport and I have neither. Bummer. Waiting to hear back.

Tata.

Man, I was so excited to log on and see I had a follower. Seriously. Hey Sarah!

So today has been average. I slept a lot, hung out with my brothers a bit, read the Daily Mail (worthless piece of crap), watched a lot of rubbish TV. X-Factor was a highlight. It's worse than ever. With the time they spend showing crowd shots they could've fit another ten auditions in there.

I'm watching CSI currently - only one episode on tonight, how lame. It is Las Vegas which is my favourite, so bonus. Everyone who's spoken to me lately knows by now that I'm on a huge CSI kick, so sorry if I bore you with it. I have no one to discuss it with; Matthew only watches it reluctantly when he's here and I insist.

Speaking of the boy, he's currently in London watching NFG, so I don't get to see him til tomorrow; I hope he's having a good time, but I'm certain he is. What is it, his ninth time seeing that band? And you think I'm obsessive about Reuben. Hehe. I miss Matt a lot though it's nice to have a bit of alone time and also I like being able to spread out and hog the duvet. Lovely.

I went to buy phone credit today and popped into the charity shop; came out with a pristine (!) copy of the Fellowship of the Ring, lovely, and a half-read (you can tell by how much the spine has broken, this one's broken up to around halfway through) copy of the Da Vinci Code - awful book, relying on cliffhangers to keep the audience interested, but after reading Angels and Demons lately I've wanted to re-read the sequel to see if it could possibly be worse. The guy behind the counter was loving it though, we had a nice chat - it's lovely when shop workers aren't zombies.

Now my new contract phone is on order - I'm a little nervous but it's purple and quite lovely :) so hopefully that'll all work out and I won't break it three months in or anything silly like that.

Back to Grissom and Nick. Tata.
