Catch up! (2011)

Wednesday 24th February

‘OK’ so I know I haven’t posted for almost a week, but as per usual I’ve been very busy with, well... a lot. I’ve no idea how I’m supposed to keep up with this, It’s impossible with my lifestyle, but I’ll try my best ~smiles~.

Thursday:

Well, like I said the night before, I went on the trip to London for a show entwining ‘broadcast media’. It was pretty groovy, only it was mainly based around video and lighting. Considering I’m all about the music, it was a little boring at some parts. It also took so long to get there! The M1 was closed and so we had to take the A40 instead, 5 hours later at 1’ish we arrived (after missing half the show!) Then we had to leave at 3:30! At least we got a few hours I guess.

The food was brilliant, A friend of mine was on some sort of diet, and couldn’t eat pies. So we all went to the pie restaurant and pigged out! It was cruel but so darn funny too!

Then me, Nick and Elizabeth (two colleagues) joined a competition... Scale-electrics! I’ve not played on one of them since I was a kid, but they had one on show bigger than my bedroom! (and that’s pretty darn big). So me & my mates teamed up against 3 others for 25 laps of mini car racing, it was good fun and we did pretty well, although we didn’t win unfortunately. I came second, Nick came third and Ellie came last (but her car broke).

After the race we went round plenty of stalls to see what was on offer (and grabbed lots of freebies! Well what else would you go for?) Lol! We all got a free 512mb Memory stick and I got a free copy of Friday 13th, still haven’t watched it though, I’m a wuss! ~laughs~

So they day played out well, except I didn’t get chance to go to the gym in the evening because we arrived back home so late! Never mind, as long as I keep it up one session doesn’t matter, and I have to say I’m starting to see improvements with myself (woo!).

Friday:

Okay so on Friday I decided to meet up with my good old pal Scott, and go to the cinemas. We went to watch ‘Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief’. It was awesome! Very entertaining and I’d recommend you go and see it! Although I seem to say that about almost every movie I see, lol.

We then had a Mcdonalds (traditionally) and came back to my place. Then he asked me to show him some more parts to the song Bella’s Lullaby by Carter Burwell. Hilarious, because he was the one whom ended up showing me parts to the song which I’d not taught myself. It seemed he already knew the whole song, and simply couldn’t play the chords along with the melody. So I helped him out with the double hand thing, whilst he taught me the remainder of the melody which I’d not figured out myself. My dad came along later in the evening and picked us both up, dropped Scott off home and then we pigged ourselves with a bargain bucket from KFC! Whilst watching my recent favorite TV Drama ‘The Vampire Diaries’. Nom! It was a good day :)

Saturday:

Saturday was a day for the family. I decided to go and visit my mum. As usual it was a pleasure to see mum and everyone there, I also got a gift from my little sister Lina! It’s brilliant, I was well impressed. She made this plastic shaped T which said 'Tony' on it, and it flashes lights and everything! It was created for me in her technology class at school. I shall treasure it and put it on my wall as soon as I get something I’m able to hang it on.

I also got my hair dyed back to black, yes ‘OK’ some of you think it’s boring, but the majority of people have always told me it suits me, and I really like it. So I went ahead and changed it again (thanks mum!).

After a nice time at my mothers I went home, on the last bus. Unfortunately (I didn’t realise) that this bus brought me home a little too late. I arrived in Alfreton after all the busses had finished. So I called a taxi, no luck there. Saturday night meant all the taxi’s were fully booked. Bummer! My dad had also been out drinking and therefore couldn’t give me a lift home. So I was left with the lovely satisfaction of walking home! I guess it helps towards the issue with my converse though. Since I’m used to big bulky trainers keeping my feet warm, converse make my feet freeze!, but I’m gradually getting used to them, and the extra exercise isn’t a bad thing eh?

I also spent some of my remaining cash for the day (given by my ever lovely dad ~lol) on some chips and chicken. Nom! The final interesting thing was whilst walking home, I got stopped by a girl and got offered ‘good business!’ (Of course I told her “maybe another time” and rushed off) But it was a funny event.

After all that, I’d still say it was a good day. It takes more than a cold walk home to dampen my spirit! ~big grin~.

Sunday:

Sunday was a lazy day. I like lazy days. I slept for the majority of it, did a couple chores (washing the pots and my clothes), then lay on the sofa and was lazy for most of the day. I watched lots of my favorite shows like Smallville, Heroes, Vampire Diaries and lots of back-to-back Legend of the Seeker. Whilst adding many items to my wish list on amazon (go see for ideas on occasions! http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/3O62J4BUT26YN Love you all ~grins~)

I finished my day by visiting my grandparents before heading back to Derby. This was a funny occasion, my Grandma never liked ‘black’ hair, she’s a very colorful person. So when I walked in I should have took a photo of the look on her face! My dad was laughing about it for ages! Meanie! lol. Thankfully she turned around and said “it’s your hair, do what you want with it” so I was like ‘phew’ and then she went on to say how my dad used to be scared about what she’d say too, cause she can be evil! (but we still love her ~laughs~).

Monday:

Today was my dad’s birthday! He’s a 52 year old fart! Ha-ha but I love him very much, and he still looks darn good for his age ladies! ~wink-wink~. So I got up with my usual routine, had a lovely shower (I love showers! They’re heaven! lol). Went to university, then went out for a very lovely meal with my dad at the Dolphin in Derby.

He loved his present and birthday card, the present was an all time complete collection of ‘only fools and horses’ (every episode!) which he was immediately pleased with. The card was classic, it said “if anyone asks your age, just tell them it’s a two digit number. If they ask further... show them!” ~sticks fingers up~. Typical humor and he loved it :)

After the meal we went to Primark (my favorite shop!) for some clothes where I brought more Polo-shirts and my dad brought anew jumper. He was lucky, when we first looked, they only had medium and small, no large. Then my dad tugged about and found a large hiding at the back of all the others. So that ended well and I believe he said he had a good birthday.

What came next was more university, then a night out on the town with my buddy Husein and university friends celebrating Elizabeth's birthday.

I got extremely drunk!, and ended up staggering back at a stupid time in the morning, but it was a brilliant night and it was an occasion. I rarely go out and get drunk nowadays, I’ve got too many other things to think about! Another good day I’d say!


Tuesday:

Okay so yesterday was a pretty ordinary day, Apart from me unfortunately missing my first lecture in the morning because I had a real groggy hangover. My tutor didn’t mind because I make up for these things and I don’t do them often (lol). The day was good though.

I got a grade back from my music Theory work, it was A-! So I’m really pleased with that. We had to take a score (music theory sheet) and incorporate it into our own work. Basically make a song out of the notes and chords given to us.

In the evening I went and did my usual routine at the gym. Although silly me put uneven weights on my bar for dead lifting, which my tutor noticed and so I had to work unevenly on my opposite side to gain a correct balance. (oops! It was funny though). It’s all going well though.

Today:

Another typical day today, I slept for the first half of the day, went to university from 3pm till 6pm to study website development and visual practice. I then went out afterward with one of my colleagues James, went to the bar and had a pint alongside playing a few games of pool. Both games were very close and even, and we each won one of them and therefore drew.

After that I walked home, ate my favorite dish (spaghetti Bolognese), then watched ‘Jennifer’s Body’... the movie! Which I have to say was pretty awesome, certainly funny at some parts and lots of girl-on-girl action (lol).


And so there we are, I’m currently writing this and about to go to bed and read my book (Night World) before another thrilling lecture about video production at 9am sharp. Oh... joy. Goodnight.
