  Monthly Blog October

  Nearly forgot to write a blog this month! Well stuff has been happening I guess so here goes.

  PROGRESS

  

  

  WORK

  Is going pretty well, it's nice having money to be able to randomly buy things Also me and Chantel have our share of giggles. We stamped our arms with Private and Confidential and for some reason I really want it as a tattoo. Fortunately I'm not that stupid

  

  I think I'm addicted to buying cheap books from Amazon and I've ordered a print from DeviantART that I've wanted since forever lol! Still waiting out on that TV, mum wants to look around properly before I go spending hundreds of pounds on one.

  

  This is the print. It's a little emo but I fell in love with it about 5 years ago so I had to get it

  HOME

  I've had my lip pierced for those of you that didn't know already My boss wasn't too pleased but I'd racked off 70 referrals in one morning to take the edge off the lip thing.

  I don't really like this photo much but here goes

  

  Much prefer this one which I'm now using as my avatar for pretty much everything (apart from on here, nothing will replace the loaf of bread cat!)

  

  SOCIAL

  Me and Hero broke up last Saturday. I still love him to bits and miss him but it just wasn't working out as a gf/bf relationship. I wish I could just go to being best mates with him but it doesn't work like that. I haven't been going out much recently and although having 3 good friends around after just getting out of 6th form is good, I still sit at home feeling lonely a lot.

  Yesterday Chantel picked me up and we went shopping for stuff she needed to cook her bf a meal with that night. Apart from that I haven't had any other social contact this weekend which is a bit depressing.

  And as for Halloween, I stayed in playing TF2 and drinking. A few months ago that would've been a fab night in but nowadays I just want to go out.

  

  Oh I went to see Franz Ferdinand a few weeks ago which was fab! The lead singer is soo fit ^_______^

  Last Friday I went to see Green Day. In all honesty I went off Green Day a few years ago and haven't listened to them much but they were the best gig I've ever been to. They didn't just do music; they put on a show. Billie Joe really knows how to command a crowd

  

  The arena was packed but I thought we got really good seats

  

  

  I've been playing a lot of TF2 and have found I do best as a sniper I pre-ordered L4D2 the other day so the game of the month has to be that as the demo is awesome!

  

  ★Trailer★

  

  I was watching Fight Club the other day - forgot how awesome this film is

  

  

  

  Thanks to Amazon I've been buying all the books I used to read at the library when I was younger

  

  I wrote this for Chantel at work but I don't think she appreciated it much:

  Friday afternoon

  All the staff shouting hurray

  The woodlouse dances

  Right...um bye!

  Monthly Blog - September

  PROGRESS

  

  

  Well it's been a much less exciting month but I've still got a few things to bore you guys with

  WORK

  The temp job is going really well, I've made a few friends and the tasks are varied enough so I don't get too bored. It's been extended until Christmas so I can afford to buy myself a PSP, the tattoo and some more clothes! Only thing is it isn't permanent so I hope something crops up in the meantime

  HOME

  As you might know I've had my hair cut a few weeks ago – I've got a thin fringe and it trimmed. This weekend I'm having a thicker fringe cut in, it heavily layered long at the front and short at the back coming down to the top of my shoulders/bottom of neck. I like the look of longer hair but I'm just sick of it and it'll grow back quick if I don't like it short

  

  I know I look really young here but most photos make me look young anyway so meh

  It's my mum's 40th next week – she's old! I'm gonna bake her some of my homemade flapjack, drizzled in white chocolate and with white chocolate buttons around it. I found some candles that spell out FORTY so I'm gonna pop those on top She loves white chocolate, I bake fab flapjack – sorted!

  And on another note I've gotta sort out my taxes – grr! I've been taxed since that temp job in August so I've got a hell of a job claiming everything back. And the tax office is only open Monday – Friday, 9-5...you know, when I'm at work I've heard you can do it online but I've yet to check it out. Why can't getting paid be really simple?

  SOCIAL

  Since turning 18 I've been to the pub a few times on a Friday night. Last week I went with Chantel (a mate from work) and Danny (childhood mate) – it was really good I was only planning on staying for a few drinks but ended up getting home at 1am! I've decided though that I'm sick of feeling rough on Saturdays and it kinda ruins my day with Hero so I'm gonna lay off the pub for a while...maybe

  

  

  Flash Forward! I caught the first episode a few days ago and it's wicked - can't wait for the next one

  

  

  I bought the new Muse album on Amazon and saved 4 quid so I spent 4 quid on Derren Brown's book, Tricks of the Mind. My mate had it a while ago and I read a bit on memory and thought it might be useful as I'm crap at remembering things. I've been reading a little each day and it's so well written! An amusing read, I'd definately recommend it

  

  

  Gotta be Uprising by Muse - love it!❤

  

  Has to be my current desktop background. I want to see the Northern Lights one day

  

  

  I dreamt a couple of days ago that there was a flood and huge waves. News story today? A ****ing tsunami o_O Holy crap I can dream the future *is all spooky*

  

  The new Muse album I pre-ordered it on Amazon on Saturday and chose free delivery which is 3-5 working days. So I expected it to arrive anytime between the next Wednesday to Friday. Tuesday, the day after the release and it arrives! So chuffed with that! ^______^

  Monthly Blog - August

  PROGRESS

  

  

  WORK

  I now work full-time as an admin temp at Tickhill hospital in Balby It's great, the tasks I have to do are varied enough so I don't get bored and the people are really nice. I'll be working there til October but afterwards I hope to get a job in the NHS permanently until I'm 25ish and can get into the police force.

  HOME

  Have you heard of one million giraffes? http://www.olahelland.net/giraffes/

  It's a website where you submit a hand drawn/crafted giraffe – they're hoping to get 1 million entries by 2011!

  Here's my giraffe: http://olahelland.net/giraffes/?id=17498

  I've also been working on mine and Hero's website for the last day or so: http://tofu-hero.com/

  A Sims 3 review is up which I wrote last night

  I've had my hair cut – a fringe cut in and it trimmed and layered. It looks ok but it'll look even better when I go to the hair dressers early October (was the first appointment I could get!) and have it cut short at the back to go into a little pony tail and the fringe have more weight on it (so you can't see my forehead) and it layered around the sides

  I rearranged my room today so my bed is where my desk was and vice versa. I'd switched everything off before plugging cables back into my computer and when I switched it on – BAM! The power supply bust. I've only had it for a couple of months so hopefully I can get it replaced for free. I'm also gonna buy a surge protector which I've been meaning to get for ages. I'm using my old power supply atm but it doesn't even have enough space on it to plug my DVD drive and fans in

  SOCIAL

  Hero got swine flu recently so I couldn't see him for 2 whole weeks If I get ill then I'll lose my job and since I work in a hospital it's even worse. Still, he's fine now and I haven't got it!

  Here are some extra holiday photos I nabbed from Mehregan's camera:

  

  Me at the airport in Connor's hat

  

  Me and Hero on our balcony at night...

  

  ...and during the day

  

  

  All 3 couples lmao

  It was my 18th birthday on the 5th August I opened my awesome presents in the morning and then went out to lunch with my family. In the evening I went to Hero's house and we had a couple of mates round. I had a fab day

  

  Presents!

  

  Amazing cake made by Aunty B!

  

  And it had a photo of me on the back when I was a nipper

  I also got my a-level results back last week:

  A2 Photography – B

  A2 Psychology – B

  AS Citizenship – B

  AS Sociology – A

  Plus my C from AS Art last year I was really chuffed with the results, I was unsure about whether I'd got a C in Psychology, let alone a B!

  I went to a results party that night in Epworth which was ok, and then to another one that Saturday in Stainforth which was amazing! I drank 5 beers, 1 pear cider, 1 shot of apple sours , 1 shot of absinthe and 1 gas chamber. I usually have up to 4 beers so I got v.drunk that night and had lots of merriment!

  

  

  Crayon Physics Deluxe I wrote a feature about it on tofu-hero.com

  

  

  

  

  Season 1 is over! I nearly cried when it ended - Thursdays just aren't the same anymore

  

  

  Nothing beats sleek and geeky

  

  

  My gorgeous new jacket - 13 quid from Primark!

  You get the little fuzzy bird shown in the earlier lolcat picture if you reach the end of this blog :3
