V-day

Hello hello.

A very Happy Valentines Day to you all :)
(unless you are all sickeningly loved up and happy... Bitter... Me? No no...)

Word of the day..... Abridgment - summary, synopsis, shortening.

So........

Today is Valentines Day. And I shall tell you how I spent it... Learning about music software, and watching the horrors/beauty of childbirth on One Born Every Minute. After which, I decided I was never giving birth. Ever. I have to thank Miss-Martini, Miss-Horlicks, and the wonderfully comfortable in her own skin Miss-Lolly-Belle for a fantastic evening of food and fun. Many a hilarious conversation had. I love them lots.

Spent the weekend at Squidge's uni, visiting her for birthday celebrations. Twas absolutely grand. Trees-Are-Green and K-Loft also accompanied. All was well until we got lost. Now, in no way am I being big-headed when I say this, but I am good at directions. Fact. Trees-Are-Green however, is not. Also a fact. Tell me, why is it that when people are lost, instead of pulling over and sorting it out, they keep driving! Possibly hoping that the right way or chosen destination will just pop right out at the next corner. No, afraid not. Therefore, if the Sat Nav says left, GO LEFT. Don't think you know better and go right! Recipe for disaster. Rant over. After a little bit of an tense drive, we had lunch, shopped, and all were merry. That's the beauty of family. You have a tiff, and it's forgotten in the next instant.

I must apologise. A vital piece of embarrassing information happened recently and I failed to document it. Perhaps because it was just so typical of me. I got kissed. Yes, I did. And it was lovely. He was lovely. Alas, of course, being the uber GEEK that I am... I crushed his nose, got hit in the head by an intruding branch, preceded to unlock my already unlocked car, said something both inaudible and incomprehensible, and then had to reverse right in front of him. I possibly made it the most awkward moment ever. As if first kisses aren't awkward enough. Sheesh.

And so, in abridgment, that my dear readers, is why I am single on this very Valentines day. Big shout out to Trees-Are-Green though for my 'Jelly Hearts of Love', (heart shaped jelly sweets in case you were wondering). Tasty!

Also, just something that crossed my mind as I day dreamed during staff briefing the other morning... You can match certain people to a type of dog. I was aimlessy scanning the room when I thought this one person looked exactly like a poodle. The likeness was uncanny and as I moved on to others, I started to pair them with their canine lookalikes. Honestly, try it.

I daydream way to much...

Until next time,

Buddy Holly

Hello,

Today I went to the Opticians. Now, is it me or is there something hilariously funny about having someones head exceptionally close, practically touching, to your face? I'm quite a fan of having my own personal space, and for some reason the vision of a man about a centimeter from my face with a funny light inspecting my eyes literally cracked me up. And then of course your mind thinks of a hundred and one funny moments in your life that in turn multiply the giggle factor by 10. Why on earth would you own mind cooperate in times like this eh? Of course not. I had to bite on my tongue so hard to stop. Also didn't help that he was absolutely beautiful.

So embarrassing.

Then I got my umbrella caught in the door on the way out. Tit.

And yes, I need glasses. Tempted to go for Buddy Holly style frames. We'll see.

Off to the gym.

Will I get up at 6.30 to go running???

Hello,

Two things...

1. Crazy Samba boy was absent. No wood-chips in the eye for me!!

2. Do not blame your metabolism if you put on weight! It annoys me when people shift the blame on to an innocent factor. It is more likely the four flapjacks and chicken satay you ate. Eh?

Ok three things.

3. I burnt 910 calories at the gym. Also attempting to go for a 10 min jog in the mornings. HA. I know, but we'll see...

'Sizzling Cinnamon'

Hello hello,

It's been a while eh? Apologies, being back at school is BUSY.

(Still need to buy a dictionary - someone please remind me).

Now, I'd like to start with a friend of mine. Miss-Horlicks. We attempted to make a casserole, which thankfully turned out beautifully. The process however, was hilarious. Firstly, upon receiving the carrots that had been chopped up and were about to be added to our dish by myself, I realised that Miss-Horlicks did not know that carrots had to be peeled beforehand. Also, as I was making the mash (mixture of normal and sweet potato - LUSH!) I turned around to see that Miss Horlicks was adding gravy to the casserole. This would have been fine. But instead of mixing the gravy granules to hot water first....... she added the water to our dish and sprinkled the granules on top, giving it all a poke here and there so it would 'mix in'. REALLY? I think her reaction when I asked her what she was doing, and explained the right way was the most amusing. Too funny. Still, as I said, it turned out pretty tasty.

This already hilarious evening then became even funnier when we played Jelly-Bean Russian Roulette. All was going well until I chose what seemed to be a lovely pink one (and therefore in my mind could only be 'Strawberry Sundae' or the like). OH. NO. It was 'Sizzling Cinnamon'!!!!! Sizzlingly rank more like. That is one of the only tastes I hate with a passion (alongside ginger). As soon as I bit into it, I'm ashamed to say I spat it right back out - with force. I challenge anyone to eat a 'Sizzling Cinnamon' Jelly-Bean. Ew. this was then followed by what I thought was 'Chocolate Pudding' which was unfortunately 'Root Beer'. Deceiving. Why on earth is root bear a Jelly-Bean flavour. Why? Disgusting. I had to eat a lot of 'Buttered Popcorn' and 'Toasted Marshmallow' to get over it.

I went out on the Saturday just gone (first night out since New Year) and literally danced the night away. There was no stopping me. Busting a move here there and everywhere, turns, popping - you name it, I probably did tried it. It is a definite, and most probable, possibility that I looked like a complete idiot. But I did, and do not, care one little bit. Thank you to Miss-Lolly-Belle, Miss-Horlicks, Miss-Bin-Lid and Miss-Martini for one of the best nights ever. :)

The detox... I lost four pounds... And have probably put it all back on with the amount of alcohol I consumed this weekend. Not to mention the curry. Ah well. Curves all the way I say.

Also just wanted to say... I cannot stand some drivers. How hard is it to indicate at a junction? EH? How hard is it to give way when you're supposed to? EH? Just drive properly!!! Road rage to the max.

My achievement for the week - not getting hit by the kid in Samba band. Honestly, he proper goes for it. The stick he uses has wood chips flying off at all angles. It's a mission to dodge the bits of wood coming at you whilst playing your part. We've had to get the technology teachers to make us some more. No point buying them, they'll be demolished in a week!

So that's just a few bits. Not really that interesting. Speak soon,
