ear cuffs, ginger dreadlocks and ageing superheros

My ear cuffs finally came :) wahaayy!!

excuse me ear's redness, I put the cuff on too tight at first :p

So, just after the exodus of the coursework, the leviticus of the exam revision has begun :/ It was going excellently yesterday, but today has been somewhat of a nothing day :( only done almost 2 posters instead of 3, and I can tell the info isn't really going in today like it was yesterday... boo...urns!

So what's getting me through? well that would be my well-loved-but-till-recently-forgotten-ginger-dreads-hippy-dude Newton Faulkner :) give him a listen!!

I'm particularly loving Ageing superhero at the moment, cause i pretty much feel as tired as the song describes :s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a4GSLgWTz0  

But he does cooler lighter stuff too, like U.F.O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23aw1480WJk

Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdfl51Vr7qE hehee... giant afro!!

So yeah, here's a list of everything else other than a small bit of revision i've done today;

listen to endless music
watched winners and losers
watched more winners and losers :/
watched various other ridiculous things
fiddled around with my ear cuffs
eaten my weight in pasta
pretended to be married to said pasta with my housemate Sacha in the redneck voice :p
snooped around very.com
facebook
facebook
facebook
texted some people
writing this right now...

yeah, you get the picture. rrrrg!!!

But, on the other hand, I have our dear little house all to myself tonight, so I guess when I settle down to work later, I'll get a lot done, no distractions and that except those I create for myself. Wish me luck!!

So the apocalypse is almost over!!

So, written around 8,000 words, a fair ammount of SPSery and some other stuff too in just a handfull of days! I finished yesterday, and just a bit of fiddling with word counts and proof reading to go which i can do today at lesuire... it feels so nice to be done!!!

As for anything exciting, i don't really have anything exciting to report. I just had to publisise that my life has officially not ended... this time :p

ha! something incredibly curious and awkward just happened

I jus had to share this wonderful bit of life... I'm sitting at home watching Darren Brown, and the home phone rings. I pick up, and an unfamiliar voice says "hi, it's Fred, i'm just outside your door" I floundered... the voice was not familiar, but I do know a Fred, my garndad. But i was not expecting him... was it him? I decided this was the only explination, that it was him, and he didn't sound like him beause of thw cold and wind and general outsidey noises. I said oh, er, ok, just a sec and hung up.

So i go and open the door, and there's no one there, just a unrecognisable man walking past who was probably quite freaked out by me opening the door as he walked past, staring at him for a bit and then closing it again :p

I go inside and think for a bit. It must have coincidently been a wrong number that had a name of someone i would consider as a possible visitor. not hard, i know lots of differently named poeple i spose, but it just seemed oddly coincidental all the same.

About 5 minutes later, the phone rings again. I answer. The same voice says in an unsure voice "is that pam?" i reply "no, sorry, i thought i knew you when we spoke before, but i didn't, obviously, cause your not here, erm..." at this point i'm thinking sreat. i'm apologising to a stranger for not being another stranger and opening an unknown door, my life is so odd. He then replies "no, i did wonder, ok, bye". Genius. we both shared a conversation where we thought each other was and could sound like someone we knew a little bit, and decided at the same time probably it wasnt after waiting eithr outside a door or inside one for about 5 minutes like idiots.

excellent :)

wahoo!! no more dress shops!! well... almost

So my mum's picked her dress and ordered it now :) yipee!! it's really beautiful. And it also means no more 3 hour sessions on inexplicably hard seats :p Guess i'll be going to a few fittings, but that wont take half as long.

My wooden hoops came today :)

they don't look like much right now, cause they're empty, but they'll be spectacular when they're done.
I'm gunna put amterial in them, and sew all kinds of stuff on them, they'll make great wall decorations when i have a house type thing :p Just gotta find the right material and stuff...

My work is going excellently well today... hopeing to get all of occupational done by 3 or 4 today, and then i can crack on with socail, and if i really get into that i'm hoping it'll be done by some time tomorrow, leaving all of sunday monday tuesday to finish the dreaded practicles :s ah well, at least i'm confident in my other two, turns out if you really get into something, it really helps XD i feelz like a nerrrrrrd! spending all my time in my room clacking away at the keys... boy oh boy am i gunna need a huge energy outlet after this... guy session  wednesday anyone??? :p

So yeah, just thought i'd update as a break, but better get on... don't wanna fall behind my wind speed catch up!!

A new arrival!!

So some of my craft stuff finally arrived!! I got stuffing and buttons. So naturally I set straight to work on my waiting sock creature... meet buttons...

That's a patch on his knee by the way incase you were wondering what the red was :p

Hope you like him... i'm extatic at his existence because i've been waiting since summer to finish him!1 Think i might go for a sock monkey or an owl next time. Not sure how, guess i'll have to research it... or just get stuck in straight away and see what happens, which sounds more like me :p


Anyway, guess i'd better get on with the work :s I actually had a great breakthrough with social psych essay last night. I've planned the entire thing in a fair ammount of detail, so all i have to do is write that lot up, which wont take so long... oh, and add refferences to back up my points, cause i'm not allowed to have my own ideas apparently :l

Occupational protfolio is half finished now, and thet'll only take a few hours to finish because it's split into sections, which makes it easier to finish :)

As for practicles, I'm findinf this one a bit daunting, as recent marks have left me disheartened :( I can imagine this assignment being the left-till-last-rushed one... oops :p

Finally, to add to my odd phrases from the other day, 'sorry to disturb you' i find rather odd. The phrase is usually used with the intention to disturb, so it's not really sorry, is it? It's more of a 'please don't kill me but....' :p just a thought.

bruised bums, burgers and bridal dresses...

Spent 2 and a half hours in a bridal shop today while my mum tried on yet more lovely dresses! Found another possibility, the best yet in my opinion!

I wouldn't have minded the time, except that i was sitting on a little wooden stool that had to have been the HARDEST stool i have ever experienced in my life :s Genuinely made it feel like my butt was going to fall off!! I bet i'm gunna have one hell of a bruise, because my bum bones kept grating on the wood :l And to top it all of, my stomach began to raw like a lion... and for those of you who have never experienced it, that is hardly an exageration... i genuinely make people 4 rows ahead turn in shock in lectures if it goes off... i once entertained an entire exam hall with my hunger song :/ standard!

But never mind. I guess it's all worth it if my mum finds the perfect dress at the end of it! And I did get a wimpy afterwards to sooth my lion :) wahey!!!

I should now be getting on with my 50 million assignments that i have so litle time left for... but i'm cold and tired and 4od is so near!!! I may just put something on in the background as i start to jot down ideas for my social essay. I thought that one was going to be the biggest pain of all, but i've suddenly got right into it... all about alturism and leadership and possibly a bit of aggression... an odd mix, but i think it's going to link nicely... we'll see i guess!!!

As for my craft stuff or my ear cuffs, still waiting on their arrival with baited breath! At least i know all my craft stuff has been shipped, but no sign of an email about my ear cuffs, though they may possibly be comming from thailand, so i guess a longish wait is expected.

Right, on with the work... good day, good stuff!!

just a couple of curious phrases...

sitting here watching TV... it's occured to me how od some phrases are... just thought I'd hsare it...

'Only for grown ups'... well... isn't that a childish phrase in itself?

'Keep them on tenter hooks'... used in a light joviel way, but have you seen tenter hooks?...

... borderline torturous... not jokey at all!!

'keep your eyes peeled'... that's just sinister!

'all's well that ends well'... well of corse it is!

'good luck' ... a common one, but if the idea of luck is that it's a series of things that happen by chance to cause something good or bad, then wishing it won't really help... spose the sentiment's nice though!

I could go on, but it may go on forever. Well that's the english language for you!! :p Hope my packages get here soon... I would like to dtart crafting and getting some of those things up on here :)

grumpy men and rainy days

What a day!! Got endlessly wet from the rain that was practicaly horizontal because of the mini tornado going on in essex right now! But it was kind of worth it for the breakfast. Although there was this really grunpy guy who was really rude to us. Someone was banging on the fire exit, and we didn't open it because we couldn't see who it was, and it was a fire exit that said it was alarmed... of corse we wouldn't open it! Eventually, some guy got up and opened it, and was like sorry love, some people don't understand what knocking means... how ridiculous! How dare he think he could be annoyed at us because we didn't open a fire exit that said it was alarmed for some idiot who couldnt be bothered to walk 2 more minutes round to the other side. I wish i'd said what i was thinking... 'yeah, and some people don't understand what fire exit means'. What a bum!!

All in all a sucsesful couple of days though... got my bridesmaid dress sorted, and several other good things. However, I still have 3 assignments to do and only a week to get them done in... how on earth is this gunna happen? :s

what a fantastic start to the year!!

Well, the party was excelent... cheers to the hosts :) It was definately the best new years i've had so far!! And there were several curious goings on, which were hilarious... the dog that kept regecting me

And so much photobombing it was like a war zone of funny poses...

And the best bit was definately that me and Nathan finally got a wonderful photo that we're both proud of :)

Wahey!!

But anyway, how are the resolutioney type things going? pretty well. I was far more patient today with a sleepy unresponsive hungover boyfriend than i usually would... but thats only a start i guess. I also was a lot more 'yesish' both last night and today, and it's only resulted well in my opinion :)

There was something i forgot to mention... I'm planning to do the gluten free january challenge thing... I actually forgot today, but I'm gunna give it a try from tomorrow... I think I might be a bit sensitive to it, so hopefully, it'll sort my aches and pains out... and help me drop a bit of christmas... ugetme?? :p we can only hope...
