Subject:Reading 2006
Time:5:49 pm.
Mood: excited.
I just got my ticket for the reading festival on sat 26th of August. I haven't been to a concert in ages so I'm well excited. I mean I'm never going to be able to see MUSE, artic monkeys and futureheads in one day again.(well i probably will but hey). I haven't thought of the small tachnicalities of gettimg there and back, but thers a few months to worry about that, and i got car park tickets in case i decide to drive. We considered staying overnight,and seeing if there was any where pretty local that we can doss around in the next day.

On the down side i found out i've gota give a presentation or speech or some shit at work at the end of April to some people who are coming to visit from London. I'm shitting myself about it already.

Well gota go spinnin now

Time:9:58 pm.
I'm avin yet another fri night in. Well its my first in a few weeks. I'm enjoying it though, i've got a bottle of rose wine, a box of celebrations, a dawsons creek dvd and a box of tissues (as dawsons rather fine dad is about to die).I had two invites out tonight by carly and adam, but i turned them down, cos i really just felt like chillin tonight. I really can't be bothered to go out after a hard day at work. Especially today cos it was a dam stressfull day. (hence the rose wine to help me chill.lol. mmmmm I sound so much like an alcy, but i did share the vino wid my ma)

I'm off up town tomorow neway, my first girls night out since before new years eve. just wot the dr ordered. I can't believe i haven't been up town without james since 2005, thats pitiful, but probably just goes to show, 1 how much he comes back these days and 2 how little we goup town. :-( Its our first weekend apart in three weeks, and it is strange, but i guess its always gud to have a bit of time to myself, and it'll be good for me jules and kel to get drunk togehter again tomorow.

I at long last recieved my invitation to ayms wedding. i was so excited when i got it. i prob won't even get that excited about my on wedding.lol. They invited james so i had to text him and tell he needs to buy a suite and smart shoes. He told me not to worry and that he wasn't supid and wouldn't go to a wedding in jeans and trainers. But i had to tell him just to be on the safe side. God I can't believe soon one of my best mates is going to be a married mother. I wonder who will be the next to grow up. I know who i think it will be, but i shall say nothing as she always shouts when i speculate.lol

i don't think much exciting is happening. i'm still enjoying work, but ther is definatly an increase in my work load and stress levels. i made a bi of a cock up today. But hopefully it nt anything that can't be fixed. We all had quite a bad day today in the office. i think when one person gets stressed it spreads.

well i had better go now and get on with my dawsons creek viewin

Subject:Babies
Time:7:55 pm.
Kel, wend jules an myself went to Derby on tuesday for the day. i think a good time was had by all. Though I can't believe it is only 5 weeks until a new hart/henstock enters the world. I hope the World knows what its in for! lol. Amy just seems to be glowing at the moment, i didn't realise the pregnancy glow actually existed. She also only seems to have put wieght on her bump (lucky bitch.lol)

Well my dilema is what to get junior when he/she is born. Kel has got he/she something to do with astrology, and wend is making a really nice cross stitch for him/her.Now these are really good ideas as one they are nice, but they are also reflective of the person buying them. I'm still strugling as to what to buy the little whan. I can't think what to get a baby wich is suitable but also says erica. Obviously vodka's a no no.lol. And i don't think the father to be would be very happy if i invested in something albion related. So the search continues. Mind you i still have to buy aym a birthday present before i even begin worrying about the baby.

My new job's going well so far (and i'm enjoying the money), its a shame its only tempoaray. I was on my my own for three weeks when Marcus was ill and we had no AO. So i'm really proud of myself for holding the fort. I think its so strange how one minute i hate my job and the next i love it.

Mmmmm what else is going on. not much i guess. I'm just spending to much money andd watching dawsons creek.

I've randomly become an insomniac, i keep waking up at 4/5 in the morning, then can't get back to sleep. its really frustrating. i think it might be cos i av the most uncomfortabl bed ever.


I've got to pack for leicester now, but i'm feeling really lazy.lol.

Time:10:22 pm.
I've just booked this years holiday to Kardemena in Kos. Woohoo! Another week, of drinking, eating, sleeping and tanning. What more can a girl ask for. This year its kel, carly and I. We worked on bringing Julie but she could't afford it. Next year i swear i'm going on a sophisticated holiday, this will be my last drunken adventure abroad. (I say that now.lol)

Mood: happy.
After a really bad week at work last week, the worst week i've had since i've been there, i had an interview for temporary promotion today and got the job. As of the 13th of Feb to whenever probably april i will be a stand in Executive Officer. I'm excited about it cos it will be more interesting than my job, and better paid. However i'm also quite nervous, cos people keep telling me its an opportunity to prove myself, which just puts the pressure on. Then theres also what if i hate it. But at the end of the day its only temporary so i will always have my nice cushy AO job to fall back on. I'm just going to view it as an opportunity to gain new skills, and see if its an area of work i want to be going in to.

Well i'm off to the pub/wend's to celebrate

Subject:New Year
Time:10:30 pm.
Well a new year is once upon us. All in all 2005s been a good one. I'm finishing the year pretty much happy with life, though i feel i need more of a challenge work wise. I'll start looking for a new job (maybe) in the new year. I was trying to think of my best memories this year. I'd have to say they've all been since i turned 22. They include my birthday, leanders wedding, malia (every moment of it was crazy but fun), J's birthday, Albion staying up (pre 22) Albion beating everton 4-0, Karlas birthday (pre 22 again), julies house warming, torquay, being forced like blast off.lol. i'm sure theres others thats not an exhaustive list. The only down side to this year has been working full time, which has meant no road trips. I've made up for that though by wasting my money else where.

I haven't made any specific resolutions for next year. I've gone through the usual ones of loosing weight, i also thought i'd try and become a better person. By trying o be less moody less over sensitive and less stuborn. but then i decided these were all endearing characeristics so decided against it.lol. I also want to stop doing that typical woman thing of saying one thing and meaning another, but for some reason its just so hard a habit to give up. I think this years main resolution shall be to save,as i barely saved anything last year.

Other than new years christmas was ok. Everyone was generous with their gifts so was quite overwhelmed xmas day. Me and kel brought each other the same thing which was funny but expected.

I'm looking forward to new years more though. I haven't got pissed in over a month so hopefully it'll be good. We are all going to see wend for a bit, then going to cheekys, and then if at the end of the nigh the energy is still bubbling i think we'll go to a house party. But i'm getting old now, so will probably end up going home and sleeping.


Anyway its my first day back at work tomorow so i'd better go now

Time:11:00 pm.
well tis sarahs hen night tomorow. it sounds like it should be a good night.i'm semi going dressed as a devil, though i don't think it'll be the most convincing devil ever seen. the only down side is i don't know that many people and i'm not drinking, partly cos i wana drive as it will be cheaper, but mainly cos i wana go to derby on sunday, and be vaguely with it.

i was very gutted today to not be able to get hold of tickets for any of the take that concerts taking place at the nec. i have had to console myself by buying myself a new coat.it has managed to numb the pain slightly. if the albion were to sign roy keane that would also go some way to making me feel better to.lol. my christmas shopping is going quite well, ive got my mom and julies present and part of james, and i know what i'm going to get kel, my sister and wend. Theres only really aym and carly that are causing me problems this year.

works till going ok, just same old, same old.

other than that not much else to say.

o yea i saw harry potter again. its bloody awesome.lol. nearly as good as lotr. however i have accidently found out who dies in the seventh book. i was most gutted to hear about it, but i will try my best to forget. neway must dash now

Mood: happy.
I have no idea why but today i am randomly in a really good mood. Maybe its cos i didn't have to go to work in my PJs and a dressing gown and serve vile customers, or maybe i've just finally lost it. i just don't know. Seriously though i do have nothing to be so happy about. I mean i have no plans to go out this weekend what so ever. Maybe thats why. Normally i do try and cram waaaay to much into my weekend. Where as this weekend i can just chill, and finally sort my room. Granted i've been saying that since i left sixth form but it will happen one day.

I've not done much this week. Went to leicester over the weekend where i got drunk, ate curry and slept. On monday i went on a little shopping expadition with kel. Just got a few things ive needed for ages like a new watch purse and under garments. I also pretty much no what i'm going to get my sister and jules for christmas. Other than that i've just had nights in, and chilled. the hilight of my week has to have been the Take That documentry. I haven't gone out of my way to watch something on TV in ages. Anyway it was certainly worth sacrificing socialising for as Gary Barlow looked mighty fine.lol. Anyway it inspired me to listen to some of my crappy old CDs from my teenage years.I realised i did have appalling taste in music when i was young, well in all honesty till about three years ago i had bad taste. I look at my CD collection and all i feel is shame. I can't rid of them though cos they've got too many memories.

As i said i've got nothing planned for the weekend. I think i might brave town and take my handbag back and if i've got enough money do some x-mas shopping. I also promised myself i would watch the third harry potter film, so i can see the fourth one on the big screen some time next week. I never got to see the 3rd one at the cinema as all my so called friends went with out me.lol. Well i tell you there will not be another repeat of that this year.

I think i shall leave it at that. i don't half ramble on.

Mood: cheerful.
I had a good weekend, and not one unit of alcahol was consumed. I saw wend's new pad on friday, where we just chilled and watched TV.It was very nice though maybe a tad on the small side. It was enough to make me jelous though. On saturday i just mulled around the house doing not very much in particular. then Saturday night i went to Julies house warming. Now if wends flat made me want one, julies was ten times worse. I just cannot believe how well she has decorated. Its gota be one of the best decroated houses i've ever seen. Anyway her house warming was a good laugh and i even sang kareoke. In fact me and kel hogged the kareoke machine all night which is very unlike us. I think the orange juice must have just got to my head.Lol.

Sunday was another productive day, i helped walpaper part of the kitchen. It was horrible and stressful, never again i tell you. Went to do the quiz at the hollybush in the evening and sucked even more than we usually do. We were unbelievably crap. Ah well its the taking part that counts.

Work has been quiet so boring this week. It had dragged badly, but at least i have no worries or stresses in my life (for now) so i shant complain. Speaking of stress, i re read my dissertation today and was quite proud of it. I wish i could get my marked copy back so i can see what Stuart made of it.

The only burden of responsibility i have on my shoulders is organinsing our christmas meal. I think i'm getting there with it though. Wend did try to organise one ealrier in the month but i was quite awkward and could barely do any of the dates she suggested. So far i think its going to be at the Penn Cottage on the 18th of Dec. But it will probably all go wrong and not happen, knowing my friends, but i shall give it my best shot.

I think i've written enough now anyway

Mood: blah.
I can't decide if i'm happy or sad today. Admitedly i've had a good day. Work was really busy so the day went really fast. Bronya liked the database i created for our research, which was a relief, and i was well chuffed to hear ravinder had been telling people i've been working really hard recently.Its always nice to get some recognition for hard work. We went for a (expensive) curry after work. It was a good laugh, but i have to say the food was not a patch on Pedros.

I've also got a good weekend coming up so i'm happy about that to. J's coming back friday, so will probably just chill friday, go up town saturday day, then i think we are meeting jon and his new girlfriend on saturday. Sunday i'm going to meed kelly and carly for a drink. We were supposed to be meeting yesterday, but kel was ill and carly had to see her aunt so it never materialised.

Despite all this goodness i have to look forward to i still feel down. The reason i feel down, is that i'm kind of questioning myself. I keep thinking i'm a boring person, and i worry that i'm not very good at one to one conversations (when i'm sobre anyway). i'm fine when i'm in a group and i've got people to bounce off. I suspect i'm just being paranoid. Anyway it doesn't really matter if i'm boring, i should look at the positives in life, like even if i am boring i've got a few really good friends, and i'd rather have three really good mates, then 10 averagey mates. I don't know who i'd class as my good mates at the moment. I think it varies depending on who i see most. Theirs four people maybe five acctually that i would class as really good friends that if trouble hit i know i could turn to them. One of thems male so i don't know if i should count him, cos men always randomly go quiet once they get girlfriends. mmmmmmmmmmm come to think of it i don't know what i'm moaning for. I have to have at least one confidence crisis a week. i think i'm being like this cos i don't go out as much as i did say a year ago, but thats probably just a sign of getting older, and well not being at uni anymore.

I'll stop my inate rambling now anyway. i don't know why i've randomly opened up on hear today, i guess its just what its here for.

I've just come back from the doctors he was as optimistic and positive as ever, and told me all about the chlamedia epodemic thats hitting wombourne, even though it is totaly unrealted to why i went to the doctors in the first place. He was telling me its happened because we live in a more promescuois society, which i could have guessed anyway. I don't know if he assumes that just cos i'm young i sleep around or what (which may i add i don't), but the lecture came out of no where. I can't believe when i was young, like 10, 11 i had a crush on him. Other than that he was nice to me. I normally hate going cos he normaly makes me feel like i'm wasting his time. He must have been in a good mood cos it was friday. Speaking of crushes i was very dispapointed to see my usual sexy spinning instructor had been replaced by a woman yesterday.

I've had such a manic week at work, probably the busiest week i've ever had since i've been there, so time as flown (for once). my little project is going well, i'm quite proud of it, and i've taught myself loads about excel in the process. I think next week will be a busy one aswell.

As for the weekend it should be quite good, i'm hopefully going to the pub tonight, though i sense it could be cancelled. Then i'll go to the gym tomorow morning, then we are heading off to derby to visit amy and have a meal in Fat Cats. Yes Derby does seem an awful long way to go just to eat but, it'll be nice to see amy. I'm not sure what i'm doing sunday, probably not very much, just sleeping, and maybe the cinema in the evening. I really want to see goal but no one else will come as they all asume its about football, but apparently its really good just as a love story.

I'm going for a curry on wednesday with my work colleagues. Only my second outing with them in the ten months i've been working there so i'm quite looking forward to it.

I'm also pleased to announce that once again my house has a fully working kitchen, so i will be able to eat proper food again. Yay! :-) I'm off to do nothing in particular now.

i had such an awewome weekend in leicesester (and i only spent £30 while i was there which is bloody good)its so guting being back in wombourne. I was suposed to come back yesterday but being as i had the day off today i couldn't see much point in it. All i've done today is sleep, the weekend must have taken it out of me more than i thought. There wasn't much else i could do to be fair as We are getting our new kitchen in this week, so in the day we had no gas water or electricity.

I really don't want to go back to work tomorow, but at least i know i'll have plenty of work to do, i'll probably try and go in for about 8 and build up my flex a bit. (that'll never happen who am i kidding). Aparently kels getting in for 7, i have no idea how she can do it, that would kill me.

Speaking of work it has picked up a little bit as i've been given my own little project to work on with Bronya. I've got to help with the analysis of the evaluation forms that we give out at the end of each course, My first task is to make up a database (well table) to store the information on.

well i can't be bothered to write anymore for now, so i shall get going

Mood: hyper.
I went on a bit of a mad spending spree on thursday. (all in the name of sarahs wedding which is still 2 months away) I blame kel she justifies all my stupid impulse buys for me. TO be fair everything i brought was needed, so it wasn't too bad. But i really do need to be strict this month. Ive set myself a weekly budget and i will by NO CLOTHES, DVDs or CDs. I will also stop eating out so much. Why do it when me mom will feed me for free.

I'm going up town tonight which is not a good start to my regime, but i won't drink much. I'll just finish my malibu, and have the lil bottle of champagne jules gave me for me birthday. Then i'll have one in the goose, and will not drink anymore. i can't get to drunk anyway cos its lee evans tomorrow. Yay! I don't want to be ill for that. I should still stick to my budget anyway.

Then next week i'm going to leicester for the weekend, So i'll be right on my budget then. Then surely i must have more money than a bunch of students. The weekend after that i definatly won't spend much, as kels going to london, so i'll save loads then. After that i haven't thought ahead. God i hate being broke. I just wish i had self control. I'm being really sad and monitoring all of my outgoings this month. If i check my balance regulalrly i won't think i have more moeny than i do, which is when i tend to go a bit mad.

I'm still feeling all hormonal to, (am i sharing too much here). One minute i'm happy as larry the next i'm randomly stressed. I got really pissed off yday when j couldn't talk for long on the phone,(not with him just with leicaster really) obviously i didn't say anything to him, I just phoned kel and off loaded it all onto her and felt loads better. which brings me to another point i don't think i was made for long distance relationships. I need too much attention, not constant attention, just attention when i want it. Kel put it nicely when she said i needed a psychic boyfrriend. i'm just a bit of a bitch cos i expect boyfriends to drop everything and be at my beck and call, which doesn't really work when your in different counties. However in some ways i'm a good girlfreind, as i trusting, wouldn't stop someone from having females friends, and personally i don't think i'm the jelous or posesive kind (which kelly agrees with) Bloody hell what is with all of this opening up.It must be the hormones. I'm going to stop now i'm getting a bit ridiculous here.

I'm going to start my weekend of fun now. I shall make sure my next entery is positive

Subject:Controversey
Time:6:31 pm.
I caused controversey at work today. Sum1 who is quite young (21) split up with her husband who and they hadn't been together long, so obviously it was the talk of the office (i haven't heard people gossiping like that since my spar days). Anyway after listening to everyone elses opinion that they split cos she flirts too much and has too many male friends, i put my two pence worth in. My opinion was that i didn't think there was anything wrong with having good friends of the opposite sex (which many people didn't agree with), i also said maybe she was too young to be getting married which also didn't go down well. I think everyone in the office now thinks im a loose living hussey.lol. I just can't help but think that you need to get your living done whilst your young. I'm not saying people have to sleep around to have fun or that us young uns shouldn't be in relationships, i just think at my age you should be allowed to be friends with who you want, and just generally be having a good time. Though i do accept that its different strokes for different folks. I do think people can get married at young age and be happy, i'm sure amy and tom will prove that, i just think maybe in the majority of cases, maybe people don't really know what they want, or maybe just can't handle the responsibility of a mortgage and a big expensive wedding. I know i couldn't but i am immature. If i end up married young i will certainly regret making these comments. These are only my opinions that i think would apply to most people but not everyone though, before i go offending anyone. Well Kelly agreed with me and amy (at work) also so did so maybe i'm not totally alone in my opinions.

Just another quick hangover update, today i woke up and it was gone so i'm quite chuffed about that, though my throat still hurts. On that subject i saw J's parents for the first time today (in good ol spar) since i threw up in their sons bedroom. I felt quite embarassed, but tackled the issue head on and spoke to them and apologised (I can be mature). They saw the funny side though and said i had nothing to worry about.

Not much else is going on, i'm going spinning in a minute, and probably having another early night

I can't believe it but i think i still have a smidgen of a hangover today. Its just a mild headache, but still shocking none the less.

With my new found freedom i have aquired i think i'm going to devote myself to the gym more, starting in half an hour. I did want to go straight after work but i was just too hungry. My mood seems to have stablised over the weekend, im not as depressed as i was last week but not as happy as i was two weeks ago, i seem to have found a nice happy medium. Work went quickly today and wasn't to boring which i think has certainly helped.

My mood has picked up now, though my health has not, it is self inflicted though so i won't complain. Other than being violently sick yesterday (well this morning) I've had a good weekend, I brought Dawsons Creek series 3 on DVD for £19.99. What a bargain, and brought Foo Fighters, there is nothin left to loose album for £5.99 so its been a weekend of barain hunting, yesterday.I also slept loads yesterday which is always good, i should be nice and awake for work next week after the amount of sleep i've had this weekend. I'm really looking forward to next weekend, I think me kel and carly are going to have a girlie night in at Carlys, where may i say no alchahol will be consumed (on my part anyway). Then saturday it's lee evans, which i can't wait for, and we should be going round broad street (and not getting drunk) afterwards. Its always good to have social plans to look forward to.


I came home this morning, to find my mom has put loads of boxes from the kitchen (including one filled with Vodka and bacardi and malibu in my bedroom, so my room is a mess and i can see alchahol which is making me heave which isn't good.

I have nothing else productive to say so shall leave it at this

Subject:Just a quick grumble
Time:8:06 pm.
Mood: bored.
work was sooooooo boring today, i take back what i said about it being ok, i think i mut have been in an unusualy good mood when i said that. I'm back to my normal miserable tired self now.lol. I couldn't even be bothered to socialise tonight which is unusual for me. Its a shame being as i've had my hair re- blonded, and cut, and have no one to show other than my sister who didn't even notice. Anyway back to work being boring, i wish i could find my true calling, as i'm jelous of talking to people who like there jobs and no what they want to do in the future. I don't know what it is with my job but there is just no challenge. I may regret saying this and maybe i am cracking up, but i think i do miss customers a little bit, not the crappy ones just the nice ones. I think i just need a more challenging job with a bit more variety. I just don't know what i'm suited to.Ah well my probabtion period isn't up till the 17th Januray 2006, so i won't worry about it till then.

I've got to get back into the gym aswell, i've only been once for half an hour this week, but i just haven't had the energy. I would have gone today but i didn't want to ruin my new do just yet. Having said that maybe new hair cut would have made the sexy spinning instructor notice me. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Anyway i shall definatly devote myself to the gym when Jay go's back to uni. I'll go to the gym once a week at least and go spinning on a tuesday and sunday. I will also cut out booze. Ok once again who am i kidding. I'm also eating like a right heffer to, i'm just so hungry andd have no will power so give into it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i am feeling very negative today, i ahve no idea y. Its showing in my dreams cos i keep having horrible dreams that people keep falling out with me and ignoring me its so strange, Kel thinks its a sign that i'm anxious about something. Why can i never remember positive dreams.

I'm off to wallow in self pitty now.lol. Im not that bad really, i haven't really got that much to grumble about.

I'm so knackered, i've just come back from the gym (i had a killer session) and am getting ready to go up town now. Work was so boring today, the shredder broke and i had nothing to do all day. In fact considering i've only been in for three days this week, this week at work has really draged. I hope its more exciting next week, tho i doubt it will be. At least i've got a lot of stuff planned for the next few weekends, which will help get me through the working week.

I'm still trying to be good with my money, itts going ok but not as well as i hoped. I'm going shopping with jay tomorow and i dare say i will blow loads of cash then. I've really got to buy i new handbag, and new shoes wouldn't go a miss either.

I got invited to my third wedding of the year today, i think i shall go to this one as we are allowed to bring a guest, tho i would still probably go even if James couldn't. Everyone else is going and i hate to miss out.lol. I've got three big work things planned for december now. Sarah's hen night, sarahs wedding and the work meal, so decembers not looking cheap.

Well i smell food so i shall go now

Subject:The Ashes
Time:6:21 pm.
Well England have just won the ashes, i'm pretty chuffed about that. I wouldn't go as far as James and say its the best day of my life, but it was nice to see England acctually win something. If we could win the Football World Cup next year, that would be something else, but whether they will even qualify is yet to be sorted.

I am feeling so rough today, so i've opted to have the day off work, I haven't been sick or anything yet but i don't want to risk going in and being sick there. I'm really disapointed that i've had the day off cos for some reason unbeknown to me, i wanted to try and go a year off without having a day off. The last time i had time off sick was last november which is quite good i guess.

I think i'm just going to lie in bed and sleep today, maybe i'll watch the ashes, it would be nice to witness a historical moment (that is if England win). And I suppose its always quite nice to watch sexy men prancing about in their whites.lol. Having said that i've not had a good week sport wise. I can't believe the albion and england both let me down in the same week.I was gutted at the wigan result, i really thought we might stay up this season, but i'm not so sure now.

I had a good weekend this week, the complete oposite of last weekend. I went to an anne summers party in enville on friday. i was quite aprehensive about going cos i was sobre, but it was a good laugh. She opened up the night by asking us to introduce ourselves, and to reveal the dodgyist place we had ever had sex. As my sister came along i managed to wiggle out of it. I had to grovel hard though. Other than that it was smooth sailing. I also noticed being sobre was an advantage as it meant i didn't buy anything. Last time i went to one, i was drunk and spent too much money.


After the anne summers party i got persuaded into going up town. We started off in the bank, which was equal to rothwells in badness, then went on to walkabout, which i'm ashamed to say was quite good. They played five and take that i was well impressed.

On saturday morning i took my car in to have the horn fixed at long last, then went home and slept till 1:00 pm. Saturday afternoon i had a litte pubcrawl round wombourne with adam. Admitidley we only drank coke. I then got drunk round J's and we went up town to good ole royal london and Blast Off which was quite enjoyable, as once again they played lots of killers and Kaiser Chiefs.

Sunday i had what i thought was a really bad hangover, but i now think its whatever this illness i have now is. Anyway due to this illness/hangover i didn't get out of bed till 4:30. Disgusting i know.So I was once again forced to watch half a days worth of cricket. I acctually understand it now, which is quite worrying.

On saturday night i met carly for a quick drink in the hollybush, then went home, cleaned nyself up and met julie, kelly, charlie and her boyfriend for the quiz.We came last, and i was feeling reallly ill so wasn't my usual entertaining self.lol.

Then this morning i woke up feeling like shit, and that was my weekend.

i wish i could think of something philosophical to say. hmmmmm. I haven't cried since July, which must mean and i'm happy. In fact i have to say i'm feeling the most settled i've felt since sixth form. I've got good friends (and boyfriend) to keep me sane, and though not the most enthralling job in the world i've got a 9-5 job, (technically i work 8:30 to 4:45 most days) which is ok paid, and i don't hate it.I think getting back in touch with people like Nisha, wend and charlie, cheered me up, as its always a shame to loose touch with people. Kelly said to me the other day i seem to be sickingly happy at the moment, and carly said words to the same effect yesterday. i can't belive i'm acctually really happy, i never thought i'd see the day.lol. Well i did, i guess i'm usually quite happy its just uni could be quite unsettling, well it wasn't really uni that was bad, i think it was more the part time job that came with it, that made university life a bit dodgy. Though i do miss uni, and lieing around watching MTV. i probably prefer working life though. I've just re read that paragraph, its a bit deep for me, so i'll stop rambling now. Anyway i'm quite sure my happiness will be short lived. It normaly is.

I have made quite a big decision in my life recently. After having got waaaaaaaaaaay to drunk on saturday, i think i'm going to not get so drunk in future. I will get drunk, just not off my face drunk. Theres no need to get that drunk anyway, it doesn't really achieve anything, other than illness, and falling asleep in taxis.lol. Adam would be very pleased to hear me say that i'm sure.

well thats all i have to day for myself, and i really need some sleep now
