Did You Say It ?

Grey's Anatomy, the finale - it made me cry!!!

I thought the voiceover at the end was great, really made me think; "no I didn't say it..."

I LOVE YOU
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

Update at last!

SO, I haven't posted in a while, but tbh, I just couldn't be bothered lol.

what to say what to say...
erm.. I have my last exam in 2hours, I should probably study some more, but I really can't be bothered.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with my dissertation supervisor to decide what my dissertation title should be... joy...

I go home on Sunday, and I cannot wait!! I want to go hoooome!

On Saturday I went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach with my flatmate and his boyfriend, and it was so much fuuuun!! I did knock my elbow during one of the rides and it started bleeding :(
we then went to the seaside for just a few minutes because I wanted to, it was so preeeetty!!

Then we went to the Blackpool Gay Pride, and it was loads of fun, met random people, bought pretty things, had a few too many drinks, but it was fun :)
because of my elbow bleeding, I went to the first aid stand (st john's ambulance) and they were really nice, disinfected it, put a nice bandage on.
My elbow is really sore, I've managed to bang the EXACT same spot about 5times since Saturday, how I did that I don't know?! and so now it's soooo sore!
but it should be ok by the end of the week lol

TV :
Why are so many characters dying!!!!
CSI NY, one of the characters dies
Prison Break, one of the main characters dies
Grey's Anatomy!!!!!!!!! that finale made me cry!


I will probably/hopefully post more during the summer as I'll be at home.

Anyway
must get ready for exam and whatnot

mood : unsure

crappy time

So, I'm stressing and panicking about uni.

On tuesday afternoon I have a genetics exam type thing. Which'll be 1-2-1 and it'll involve oral questions, maths questions, and practical techniques - it's going to suck.
Then a couple of weeks later, I have a statistic exam, which is also going to suck, and then the day after that, I have a law exam, where we have to act out a trial. So we are in a group of 8, I am the judge, and others are barristers and expert witnesses, and we have a case to try out. So we will be marked on oral questions, on interpretation and organisation, and how we say things, 'cause this is a law exam, not a sciency one.
AND on the same day, I have to hand it my choices for topics for my dissertation. I already have to decide what I want to do for my dissertation?! and that'll impact on what I do after my degree, and I might want to do a masters, so I have to think about that too, and ARGH!!!!

Plus, still confused and stuff in this sort-of-but-not-really-a-relationship relationship.

and to top it all off, I've been feeling really low :(

all in all
crappy time

Weird/good day?

So, today, I thought was going to be a really crap day.

I'm so skint, I've got like £5 until Wednesday, and I've just got enough food, and will need to spend my last £5 on water, cause the tap water shouldn't be drank.

my lectures were ok, then i went shopping for £3worth of food (all i could afford), and then back home to cook some lunch, had a chat with someone living on my floor, she's nice.
then I watched some dvds.
But by then, I was just really, really upset.
So I texted a few people, hoping that I'd get some replies, get distracted from what I was feeling, and feel a bit better.
But only a couple of people replied, one of which was Michael.
he called me about 7times, to see how I was doing.
And then we spoke on msn.

We spoke about why I was upset, and then about what was new for him and what was new for me and then just spoke about really random stuff, like we used to do.
and we just stopped talking now.
We spoke for over 6hours.
talking on msn for over 5hours, spoke on the phone for about 1hour.
and it was great, I had missed him so much, hadn't spoken to him in about 2months.

And hopefully I'll go visit him in Vienna over the summer.

It was so good to speak to him, he really cheered me up :)

Friendships

I tried to ignore it, but I can't anymore.

Friendships are not equal/balanced.
I think the same is valid for romantic relationships.
but right now I'm talking about friendships.

There is always someone in the relationship who loves the other person more.
It's generally reasonably the same, like 60/40, but not in my case.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm hypersensitive, or maybe because of other stuff, but it seems that for me, I care about someone a lot more than they care about me, around 90/10 or 80/20.
It feels that way.

and it SUCKS.

So yes, I am disappointed in people, I am angry and sad, because I care about them, and I am their friend, but many times it feels like they're not my friend.





I do expect more from certain of my friends, I hope for more, because I really am willing to do a lot for my friends.

No this does not make me selfish.


FUCK
this sucks


mood: upset, angry, disappointed

5 Lessons

"1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?'

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

'Absolutely, ' said the professor. 'In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello.'

I've never forgotten that lesson.. I also learned her name was Dorothy.



2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride, soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.

It read:

'Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.'

Sincerely,

Mrs. Nat King Cole.



3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

'How much is an ice cream sundae?' he asked.

'Fifty cents,' replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

'Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?' he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.

'Thirty-five cents,' she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

'I'll have the plain ice cream,' he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.



4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.



5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Yes I'll do it if it will save her.' As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, 'Will I start to die right away'.

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her."

random update

So, since last time:

I read the 4 twilight books and I'm absolutely in love with them!!!
Was disappointed by the film, compared to the book, it kinda.. sucked?

I went to an audition on Saturday, for a play at uni. A 'friend' of mine is gonna direct it she let me have the audition as a 1-2-1 with her, and it went ok. she said I should come back for the call-back, like the second round of auditions so that the final cast can be decided.
But today I got another assignment, due for the same time as the play, which means I'll have 4 big assignments due for the same week, which would be the week of the play. So, I had to turn down the play :(
very crappy indeed

On a final note
I have officially quit smoking :)
I have had 1 cig in the past 2weeks, and I plan to stop altogether, or maybe have 1 or 2 when I go out, but that's it.
So that's good

Anyway, I've had a really really shit day
except that I got 20minutes free to call any number in the uk, and guess who I'm going to call tomorrow? Esu!

twilight

My friend who is in and out of hospital, she told me that before she came back to uni in March, I needed to watch the Twilight film.
I told her that I'd read the book first, and that it'd probably take me about a month or so to read it because I'm such a slow reader; so I'd have read the book in time for when she gets back.

So I downloaded the book (I wasn't going to buy, incase I didn't like it).
I read the few chapters (about 60pages) on wednesday, and I really liked it. Then on thursday I checked the cinema times for when the film was being shown, and they were only showing it on saturday and sunday (so this weekend).
Friday evening when I got home, I started reading again, and I read it ALL! I finished it at about 3am this morning, but I read over 200 pages in one evening, can you believe it!!

and I LOVE the book!!

So now I plan to read the other 3 books, and tomorrow, I'm going to the cinema to watch the film. I can't wait!!

just an odd update

So, I was looking forward to yesterday, and.. it turned to be very different than expected.

I was planning on going to an audition for the uni's drama society. I was ready for it, well, I was dressed and had my bag and I was on time, but when it came to leaving the flat, I panicked and couldn't leave my flat.
So after about 15minutes I decided to leave the flat and walk to the building, and if I couldn't do it, I'd go to the shop and buy comfort food. On the way I bumped into my flatmate, and we bought booze and junk food. So instead of the audition, I got drunk and ate junk food.

Then we had a pub quiz, and my team won by 10points, WOOT!
What surprised me, is that my team, it was me, my flatmate, his boyfriend, his friend, and another friend. Now those people (excluding me), they are like.. they always hang out together, smoke and drink, they're like the cool people, but the cool drinking/smoking/do drugs kinda people. It makes sense in my head.
And I felt comfortable with them; felt...good :)

And then more drinking and smoking til about 4am..

Anyway
It was a weird day yesterday
Today is worse
I think I'll go take a nap, and sleep through my tutorial, cba'ed


*sigh*

All in all, today has been good.
Today, I felt good
Today, I felt pretty :)

Farewell 08
Hello 09

New Years Celebrations!

..are supposed to be fun!

To be honest, I don't quite see what the fuss is all about, it's just a day like another, it's like changing month, but its just another year.
I mean, it seems to be expected to go out and get drunk, its like the minimum requirement.

I didn't do anything. I stayed in, watching tv and on my laptop.
I did decide to walk my dog into the new year, and suprisingly enough he wasn't insanely scared of the fireworks.
The fireworks didn't turn out so well either - it was cloudy, but it did however make the sky around light up blue, red, yellow, green - twas quite pretty.

So now its the new year, and what is the next thing to be expected?
New Year's Resolutions.
every year we make them, every year they are similar and every year we don't manage them (well in my case anyway)
the most typical ones are : save money, quit smoking, lose weight.

I haven't made any resolutions
I might make some, I might not.

I find it ridiculous that we use new years to make resolutions, that we can only make that at new years, as if saying in June that as from the first day of the month we're gonna try and change something, it seems stupid. (talking from personal experience here)

Anyway
Happy New Year
I hope it is a good one :)


I need sleep

(maybe the celebrations are just an excuse, to get drunk, to stay up late, to act stupid, and to be like a 6year old watching fireworks...)

Thursday, 25 December 2008

That day of year again!!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.


And yes, there it is, it is CHRISTMAS!!!
Where you spend time buying presents, going round shops wondering who would like what, who you will buy presents for, how much to spend, and then you must actually buy wrapping paper, scissors, sticky tape. Afterwards you must find time to wrap them up (nicely, of course).
Then a tree must be bought, and it must be the right one, not too big, not too small, not too thin, not too thick, not too soon, not too late, not too expensive, not too cheap.
And the decorations that go with it, lights, tinsel, balls, and various other cute things to attach (and sometimes a star or angel ontop, but not always)
And all of these come together on christmas eve, when the tree is all decorated and the pretty presents are all around the tree, waiting to be opened the next morning!
(omg, i forgot the stockings!! ah well, you know stockings!)

So the following morning, everyone is excited, "it's christmas!"
running down the stairs to see all the presents, to figure out which is for whom, is that big box for me??? what about the presents I bought? Will they like them!!!!?
What happens (at least at my christmases now), we must get dressed, and have breakfast first, and each person choses a present for someone to open at table, so we each open a small present at table. Once breakfast is over, we all go to the xmas tree, I tend to sit on the floor and open my presents, the others stand or sit at table.
And the day goes on
with everyone enjoying their presents in their own little area of the house.
It usually ends with a
YUMMY really really fattening meal at the dinner table with christmas crackers and christmas themed tablecloth and napkins etc, and then with us infront of the tv watchind dvds.

So that's my christmas, it's not very exciting (it used to be.. before, a long time ago)

But christmas has become too commercial, and people forget what it's about.
Yes, it is the birth of Jesus, and it's also about giving, (in my mind anyways). A time to celebrate family and friends, to show people you care about them, but to others also I feel, like charities and the people who are not well and must not be forgotten

I wish christmas was more about showing people you care, of bringing people together rather than it being about how much you can afford, what the best present it and having the best decorations.

I think christmas has been ruined (though it is still nice to have a tree and all the decorations and presents... does that make me a hypoctire? most likely.. but that'll be a different post)

Anyway,
I wish today was better, we'll see

But yeah, MERRY CHRISTMAS, however you spend it




Thursday, 18 December 2008

...

So, I haven't posted in ages!

I've just finished 2nd exam, so I'm done for this semester, which means that I am half way through my degree!!
I was so stressed about this exam, and the overall mark is the average between the coursework and the exam, and you have to pass both, so I hope I pass the exam, cause I got 96% on the coursework (woot!)

So for the rest of the day I am going to wrap up presents, hopefully they won't beep at the metal detector at the eurostar, and then I'm going to watch Mamma Mia with my flatmate and then go out and have some icecream!
and then pack of course

but YAY, I get to go hooooome soon!

Monday, 24 November 2008

Yay!!

On Friday night I was talking to my friend Amy on facebook, and we were talking about tattoos and that we both wanted one NOW (so on Friday night lol) and we both said that we had pretty much the design we wanted tattooed.
So on Saturday, she came over to my flat at about 1pm and we stayed in my room designing tattoos for me, because I wanted the word HOPE on my left wrist and didn't quite know the writing i wanted it in.
So she came over, and she drew loads of different examples, and then she wrote it in french too, and we spent HOURS looking through them trying to see which was best.
We did go to lunch and watched Grey's Anatomy to take a break.
And we came to 2 designs for me and she had the one she wanted.

So the following day, Sunday, we went to the tattoo parlour at 12 (cause that's when it opened) with our designs and asked if they could do it for us on the day, they said they didn't have time and so we booked an appointment for today (Monday) at 2pm.

I could hardly sleep! and I was so nervous today, I was sick (gross, I know, but yeah)

Anyway
then got to the tattoo parlour at 1.50pm, went in and had to wait. The guy who was tattooing on the Sunday was there, and he was the guy who tattooed me! He had to put a trace of my design 3times on my wrist to get it in the right place, then off he went, and OMG was it painful! was worse than my first tattoo.
The guy was really nice, he was chatting and said if I needed a break cause of the pain then I should just tell him and it was fine. But I didn't need a break, and at first I couldn't look at the needle, but afterwards I couldn't look anywhere else!
even though it was more painful than my first, after a bit it was ok and not that bad actually.
then he put Vaseline on an wrapped my wrist in cling film, and Amy and I went to buy cling film and medical tape cause we need it for when we change the clingfilm ourselves.

At first I couldn't move my arm cause it was too painful. but now it's better. I've washed my tattoo and put cream on and put clean cling film too.

So now I will be looking after it
It still hurts, and typing is fucking awkward, but YAY

Oh, btw
I got Espoir (hope in french) tattooed across my left wrist.

Dedication, to 2 important people

I've been having a weird few days...
But anyway, I've been bored and avoiding work, and I went through most of my photos and videos off my camera.
And some of them just made me smile, and laugh, because they were of my friends, and I love them.

So this post will be a dedication to 2 friends, who mean so much to me.

Esu
Words cannot describe her.
She's beautiful, she's funny, she's intelligent, she's kind, she's so caring, she's senitive.
I can be happy with her, I can be sarcastic with her, I can be sad with her - she's there for me and she understands me.
We can be very childish together, we can turn into giggly teenagers, staring at hot guys and making nicknames for them, but we can also be very serious and mature.
We can spend hours on the phone talking about anything and everything, from tv series to school to uni to american politics to modern day views to whether to eat a fruit salad or a sandwich.
We can even tell if the other is eating over the phone, and we can still understand what the other is saying.
She'll call me, I'll pick up "Hello?" she won't say hello, she'll just straight away say something unexpected "Americans are idiots" or "I want to be a gynaecologist"
She'll call me just to say hi, just to see how I'm doing.

She teaches me so much, and she doesn't even know it.
By being herself, saying what she wants to say, acting how she wants, she amazes me, inspires me.
Just thinking about her makes me smile.

I love her





Vikki
She is, hilarious, wild, intelligent, beautiful, caring, generous.
When I'm with her, I know I won't be judged, I can be happy or sad or stupid or serious, and we'll still have a good time.
She knows what I'm like. She makes me smile, laugh, giggle.
She is so outgoing, so confident, she seems so able to manage on her own - it amazes me.
She is so bright, warm, and just, lovely.
She'll call me, to go out for a drink or to Quick for some food, and I'll be scared and nervous, because things aren't planned, I don't know what time we'll go, what we'll do, she says that horrible word "we'll IMPROVISE", and somehow, I know that I have no reason to be nervous, because with her, not having things planned is the best thing. With her, being spontaneous is, freeing, it's not worrying about things, it's having fun, it's great :)

She too teaches me so many things about life. She doesn't even realise it.
She makes me see things differently, she inspires me.
Thinking about her brings a smile to my face.

I love her







Thinking about either one of them, gives me a sense of familiarity, of belonging.
I love them so much, they mean so much to me.
They are one of the main reasons why I go home on holidays, so I get to see them, to spend time with them, to feel accepted and loved, for who I am.

I miss them so much.
Everyday; because everyday there is something I'd want to talk to them about, about my day, about something I read or heard. everyday I'd want to spend time with them, go out to lunch, go to the cinema and wonder what food to buy. I'd want to go have a drink and decide which guy is hot and which guy isn't. I'd want to go shopping and try on crazy outfits. I'd want to go and have fattening ice cream and not have a care in the world.


They are my best friends
I love them
I miss them
I need them

just some updates

Apparently I need to update my blog.
There is nothing specific or important that I want to talk about.. So I will simply write about my past few days, so nothing exciting!

Well, about 10days ago, I found out that one of my practicals was cancelled, and that would mean that I would be free thursday, friday and then the weekend, and I'm free on tuesdays anyway, so in a moment of madness, I bought tickets to go home for a week.
I got my tickets from the machines - twas new for me!
I then woke up early the next morning and got on my train to London, it was shite because I had no seat, so I stood up, and then decided to sit down on the floor - I got weird looks.. but hey, they were standing and I fell asleep! so HA!

Then I got to the Eurostar place and because I had spare time, I looked around the shops, and I bought myself a Donkey Teddy Bear, it's so soft and cute and fluffy!!!
Then I went through the eurostar checks, and was bored so sat down and read my magazine, and next to me in the waiting area, this chinese guy sat, he had a kings uni jumper and he was reading ..new scientist? there was deff. the word scientist in the title
and I thought of Esu :)

anyway, then I got on the train and arrived in Bxl, and because it was dark and I was tired I decided to get a bus, and not a train
so go to the busstop, and this guy started hitting on me, asking me my name, where I lived and then he blatently said "I want to go back to yours and have sex"..
and for some reason he was shocked when I said no... lol

I arrive home and rang the doorbell, my brother opened the door and looked so confused!
then my mum came home an hour later (with my aunt) and we had locked the front door so that my mum had to ring the doorbell, I opened the door and she shrieked "ah, what are you doing here!!"
She did say that it was the best birthday present though, me being home...

then just spent a week at home, doing nothing and relaxing and just.. being on holiday basically.

Then, the journey back, damn travelling!!!
the eurostar was delayed, and then I got on the train from london and I got a seat, I tried to sleep but it was so uncomfortable.
Oh, at london Euston I saw James Nesbitt
and I arrived back on thursday, so like 5days ago.

On friday night I went out. Got very drunk, and in the process I half tripped (you know when you're about to trip, you twist your ankle but don't fall over) and so my ankle/foot/leg is really painful (ive just got back from Boots and bought some cream and bandages).
I also met a girl, we got drunk and made out a couple of times and have been texting over the weekend..
And saturday, the hangover!! omg.
So I sat in my flatmates room (after waking him up at 2.30pm) and we watched grey's anatomy

and that's been my past couple of weeks
So nothing interesting, nothing amazing, but nothing too boring either.

I've just been in uni for a couple of hours, I'm now going to have lunch and maybe take a short nap.
I'm back in uni at 3 and then at 7pm I have a committee members meeting for the LGBT, and then we plan to go out drinking..
But I'm running low on money, and I'm tired and my ankle hurts.. so we'll see.

oh yeah and two randoms to end with

I LOVE HAIRSPRAY!! (the film, from 2007)

good day, no, great day!

OMG I've had such a good day!!

I woke up, and then went to counselling which wasn't so good, but when I got home I went to my flatmates room and he hugged me and I sat with him and watched Heroes - which was really good!!

Afterwards we stayed in his room and watched stand up comedy on youtube - hilarious!
After that, at 6pm we went to BINGO! oh yeah, bingo, and after 3and a half hours, he won £80 which we split 50/50!!!
but it was so much fuuuun!!

Then we walked home and bought some takeaway, and sat on his bed and watched HAIRSPRAY! and I love that film, I'd never seen it before, and it was so good.
And I've just left his room, and I'm going to get some sleep now.

But I've smiled and laughed so much today :)

About something that happened - can't speak french in flandres!

I'll summarise the article.
Last week, this 14year old bilingual French/Dutch girl, living in Flandres, going to a Flemish school, was attacked, cut 38times with a cutter, because she spoke French in Flandres.
She was outside school, after school, talking to her friend in french. Someone from her school, another student, beckoned her over, and then she was surrounded by other students. She got scared so took out her cutter, and in the struggle it fell and was picked up by one of the other kids, who cut her whilst the others held her, she got away after having been cut 38times, whilst the kids laughed and others who were watching laughed and clapped. All because she spoke French with her friend.
How unbelievable is that???

The girl then went home, told her mum who went to the police to complain. The girl was kicked out of school, because the headmaster said she probably cut herself and he can't insure her safety at school. The police can't do anything because there is no law against language discrimination.
So that's that for now.

I am shocked! It's just insane!!
Firstly I can't stand this stupid thing with the flemish wanting everyone to speak dutch, that kids in schools must ONLY speak dutch, after school groups, like football teams must be ONLY in dutch, restaurants have to be in dutch only and so forth. You can't even speak a different language to a family member!! I read that this one family, they were perfectly bilingual, but because they didn't speak dutch at home, they weren't allowed to buy a house in flandres..

The flemish are OUT OF CONTROL!
This sort of goes with my racism post.
HOW can they be so .... so.... gah I'm so angry at this that I can't even put how i feel into words.


It's appalling, and just.. pathetic.
