  Late Monthly Blog November

  Sorry for the belated blog! I've been quite busy and/or lazy recently

  WORK

  Well my time at Tickhill Road Hospital is drawing to a close so I've been applying for a few permanent jobs that have cropped up at DRI and apparently my boss is putting out a job soon which I can apply for.

  
  

  One of the Modern Matrons was on Bargain Hunt last week and she was hilarious! For you folk in the UK here's the link – she's called Helen

  LINK

  Her team bought a painted tile so Stevieboy came in on Friday with a bathroom tile painted with flowers and asked Helen if she could value it She'd just got back from holiday with stories which had us in stitches ^_____^

  
  

  It was also the work Christmas do last night. I've never had a proper job round Christmas so last night was a first for me and it was absolutely fab! We had dinner at the Regent where everyone got a little bit drunk and sang loudly to xmas tunes and got all the other tables of random people joining in Helen did the best Irish accent pretending to be Louie Walsh and we kind of had an X-Factor play off between the two sides of the table.

  She was such a laugh and by the main course my cheeks were already aching – it was so nice to be happy again

  

  Afterwards the managers went home and the rest of us hit town. It was ok but town on a Friday is filled with older people and I prefer going on student nights. I planned to drink water through the meal and alcohol when we got into town because I don't like wine and lager would ruin the taste of a meal.

  My boss asked what I was drinking and I explained and she heard the word "lager" and ordered me a pint which I trucked through. Then Trish asked if I wanted to try the wine and it has been a fair few years since I last tasted it so I did and it was ok; I wouldn't order wine but I'll drink it if I have to lol. I was wistfully eying up the jug of water on the table, trying to finish my wine so I could have a bit of water and as soon as I finished Lindsey (boss) filled my glass up again!

  

  I had another half pint and 2 vodkas round town but it was so evenly paced that I was fairly sober all night. Got in at 2am exhausted!

  
  

  HOME

  Things at home have been awful so Christmas is effectively ruined. People keep coming round to the house saying my brother owes them money so god knows what he's up to. His druggie mates knocked some of the wall down last weekend and I'm getting so sick of it all that tonight I was close to asking the bloke that had come round for money today if he'd beat my brother up just to try and knock some sense into him.

  
  

  SOCIAL

  Isn't fairing too well either. I'm desperate to meet new people, especially lads but I don't really know where to look. Round town they're either too old or absolute ****heads. I want to meet intelligent guys that have the same interests as me. Even if I see a nice looking guy how am I supposed to meet them? I can't just walk up and say "Hi I noticed you're quite good looking. Did you pass your GCSE's and like computers?" >__>

  
  

  Still I seem to have filled up my loneliness with buying things like books and DVDs off Amazon. In the words of Chantel, "Amazon is better than any man... Though your goods may sometimes turn up a day late... At least you know you will receive guaranteed satisfaction " which made me chuckle For those of you into graphic novels, Mouse Guard arrived and is a fab book

  

  
  

  I'm also half way through City of Bones by Cassandra Clare which I found to be a bit cheesy at first but I've really got into it.

  

  
  

  I also have 3 Steampunk books sat on my shelf – The Difference Engine, Court of the Air and The Affinity Bridge; if anyone has read these I would appreciate your thoughts on them I've read Mortal Engines and it's one of my fav books so I thought I'd indulge in more Steampunk novels.

  
  

  I've also bought myself a pair of Vans which I adore:

  

  Chantel laughed when I showed her what I made the other day and said "Is this the sort of stuff you get up to when I'm not round?" It's an old MP3 player that stopped working so I ripped the casing off and it suddenly worked again (but only as a flash drive) so I encased it in Lego, leaving space for the screen to go blue when it's plugged in

  

  
  

  

  

  My desktop wallpaper at work for winter:

  

  

  Was the dress I wore for the work do. You can't see much of it in the pics but it's ivory with black lace top, a black studded midriff sash and black silk down to knee length

  And finally a question to you lot: Where are you from and how cold is it? It's ****ing freezing over here!

  And on a final final note:

  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! ^______^
