So I just used the "location - detect" bit at the bottom and it said I was in Pudsey. That's clearly a lie therefore, satellite's suck!

In AWESOME news I just got a phone call from the school I've been volunteering at for a year and I have an interview on Monday 9th November. I'm terrified and most likely won't get the job as they've had a woman covering in the job that is being applied for and they're most likely to choose her, but i'll hold hope and i'm glad to just be noticed. Working at my Mum's hair salon is going awesomely though so i'll always have that if this school thing goes insanely wrong. =)

I've been extremely busy lately, but not in a good way. Grandparents have been extremely ill and my family falling apart, but everything seems to be falling back in to place best it can now!

I'm currently obsessed with this chap:

Yesterday Reece and I FINALLY spent a day together and went out. We had a day in Saltaire where we wandered around little village shops, a mill/art place, and then through Shipley Glen. On our journey around Shipley Glen we came across an abandoned bumper car ride. It was just there in the middle of these woods across from where some of the Shipley Tram lines run. Been the young investigative law breakers we are - we trespassed and climbed up a wall and tredged through some trees to this and decided to investigate. Next to it was a JCB type digger that had been covered in leaves and overgrown by trees as if some work was going to be done on it but it suddenly got abandoned and nobody had returned for a while. Anyway, after tredging through the woods we came to the ride and used our "£1.99 disposable Home Bargains camera" to take a couple of photos. I sat in the waiting area, had a photo there and Reece got in to one of the bumper cars, the rest were covered with dust sheets. As I moved round to take a photo this alarm blasted out! We legged it and ran like no one has ever ran before and dived off the wall and down back through the woods. It was only until we had time to calm down that we realised the sound wasn't an alarm, it was the sound a ride makes when it finished and new people can come on again! I'm going to write the sound of the noise here and hope you understand what I mean "wuuuorrrhhhhhooooo", haha. Anyway we found that highly creepy that that was the noise and not an actual alarm so maybe it's a haunted ride or someone saw us and tried to scare us by pressing the button??!!! I don't know. it's highly creepy though!

After this awesome day, we went to Whitelock's for tea and then went to Frank Turner who is amazing. He's absolutely perfect! What a brilliant man.

In other news, on Wednesday we're going to York Maze for this Halloween Scream Night and Thursday is the Scream Marathon and Saturday Halloween! Woop. After this there's the film festival which is awesome but extremely overpriced this year. I'm hoping my Dad buys me the ticket again for my birthday!

A lot has been happening lately, most of which is either not exciting enough to mention, or that i've forgotten and moved on now.
Anyway the important things that i've remembered are;
1. I'm off to New York in August with Reece and we're seeing Blink 182 in Hershey,Pa on the 12th August, awesome times! It's all booked we just need to book the hostel =)!
2. I've just applied for two jobs at Westerton and hopefully with my uber application form I should get one, however, two of the women in lower years have been "let go" as their temporary contracts have expired and it's most likely that they'll get these jobs, but there's no harm in trying right?!!! Also they're jobs in like nursery/reception which having worked with year 6 it'd be a HUGE change, one i'm not sure i'd enjoy as much!
3. Went out Saturday night. Went to Rich's and Lole's, and Mike, Lau and Sean were there. June and The Churm's came later and it was just brilliant we had soooo much fun! Video cameras are deadly in such events.
4. I have tickets for NFG (again) in August, go team life! & also tickets for The Get Up Kids which will just be the most perfect night ever due to the fact that it's the "six week holidays" and it's a Tuesday! Satans anyone??!?!!
5. I've ordered Rich uber/hilarious presents for his birthday.
6. Watched some amazing films of late including; The Hangover (which I was not wanting to se but liked it) and Flight Of The Living Dead. I forget the rest but there were some others. I;m going to watch The Thing tonight with Jonny, LOL.
7. Slam Dunk festival was awesome, both the gig and after party.
8. Rich's bbq including ride the bus and huge portions of cheesecake and dancing around to Richard Simmons' Sweating to the oldies, wearing boxers and latex purple gloves!
9. Knowing that above anything: the bird bird bird, the bird is the word!
10. oh and also: http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/2009/06/15/116150/lightning-strike-kills-cattle.html LOLLLLL

I think this is all as my memory is a blank, but I have been productive today which is always good!

The past few weeks have been rather hectic so i'll just mention the highlights of what i've been up to.

Early-ish April went out for a nice meal all dressed up for Mel's 21st...fun times although I was almost asleep by half ten, I suck!

April 21st, Reece's birthday. Bought him the entire world, (including this AMAZING enjoi black jacket), but his main present was that I'd booked for us to go to Thorpe Park and stay over in a hotel. Anyway, the night of Reece's birthday we went out for tea then went and met some of his friend for drinks in North Bar, followed by Revolution and finally Cockpit. It was pretty good to be honest but hated being at school the next day as I could barely function, especially as they were doing the greek olympics and I had a hundred kids yelling.

Friday 28th April - Reece's official birthday extravaganza. Travelled down to Nottingham after my driving lesson and we hung out at his briefly before going to meet everyone outside "the Screen Room" which is the world's smallest cinema! awesome! Reece decided to rent out the room and put on "Trapped in the Closet!" if you're not familiar with this here's a clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCXlCkY4Y5g&feature=PlayList&p=D5415D9727DB81C4&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1
This is actually the greatest thing i've ever set my eye upon, and to accompany such an event we got a photo cake made baring R.Kelly's face. Fantastic!
Anywho this went down a treat and afterward went to Rescue Rooms followed by pbr at 7! which just sucked majorly compared to the Manchester pbr but nevermind!

Anyway the next day came back to Leeds hung out with Rich and Mike and then we all went to Party On! awesome as per usual. The next day I went to hang with Rich again and we watched "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" which was AWESOME!

This week was just usual carry-ings-on until Thursday morning. We got up at 4:30 am and got ready and had to be at Leeds Bus station at 5:15 :|!!!! AWFUL. Anyway, we got the National Express down to London and eventually ended up in Thorpe PArk after numerous buses and trains at about 11/11:130. And oh my god, it's amazing! The rides are sooo good. It's basically a mixture of my favourite american theme parks rolled in to one, plus the weather wasnt too shabby either. The Saw rollercoaster was amazing as was Stealth, and of course the ridiculous water rides where we got SOAKED. The hotel was nice too although all we did was eat and have a bath then I went to sleep at 9 due to a BRAIN TUMOUR type headache i'd had allllllll day and had a stupidly high temperature. The next day we went back to Thorpe Park as we had a free day there and finished off the rides we'd missed out on then went back in to London briefly before our coach home at 8.

It's been really nice to spend so much time with Reece lately aswell as bee able to see my friends too and do work etc but now I miss him like crazy ='(. I'd put pictures up from London but I have't uploaded them yet but no doubt they'll be on my facebook when they are.

hmmm

Hey there Rover, come on over!

2009-03-17T20:51:05Z

Lately i'm feeling really spaced out and glum. So much so that I fell over outside B&Q, which although was pretty funny, hurt my hand loads! My leg just went like jelly and I tripped up. I feel zombie-fied and have too much on my mind to be aware of my surroundings! I'm sick of feeling sad and worried all the time it shouldn't have to be like this constantly.

I'm going to go watch Heston's Tudor Feast now.

By the way, Monsters Inc soundtrack was on in the cinema when we went to see Gran Torino (awesome film), and it's made me realise how amazing Randy Newman is HAHAHAAHA!

So I've started to write an "lj" about 5 times the past few weeks and have failed miserably. They have been saved as "drafts" but i've just deleted them because more things have happened since then.

At the moment life is about: watching Sailor Moon, coping with every day tasks without getting ill, trying to have fun, trying to keep families together or at least make them smile, keeping up with my work (I have LOADS to do but had kept up with it until this whole "home sharade" has started up again), maintaining a nice relationship with Reece, which again, can be very difficult at times but I love him and I wish he knew how much, learning how to drive, and then trying to see my friends!
I think i'm keeping a good balance of these to be honest, but I could honestly do with a break away from it all. Holiday anyone??!?!!

Sailor Moon = my life!

I wish things were easier at the moment. I'm starting to hate being the reasonsable, caring one who won't give no for an answer.

Don't pull me down, this is where I belong!

2008-12-11T18:02:39Z

I haven't updated this in so long. Basically a lot has happened but I've most likely forgotten everything so i'll just highlight the main points.

New Found Glory in Manchester and Nottingham were AMAZING! I've adored them since I was 14, and I still do. I like bands you still hold the same admiration for decades later! Jordan is/always will be my little high school crush! What an amazing man!!! When they played Iris I screamed the lyrics. This song reminds me of Rich so much! Satans afterward was hilarious. I'd missed hanging with Beechy so it was nice to do so, even though we spent our time talking about countdown and writing on chicken boxes about how our "mum's flaps are the best in britain". I be-friended some chaps, like I do, and they seemed to enjoy our antics so that was nice.
In Nottingham NFG were awesome, went for a few drinks after with Reeces' friends, of whom a lot I hadn't met and I loved them all, bar one! =]

Wednesday 3rd December was my birthday. I had an AWESOME time. Reece spoilt me rotten and on my actual birthday he took me to Fuji Hiro followed by Zack and Miri, which I ADORED! soz Jason Mewes's penis!!!

The following day I got up (in the snow eeeee), and we got the coach down to London. I've never been before in my life and Reece took me for my birthday! When we arrived, it was pretty late, so we wandered around Soho then grabbed food in this lovely italian place where they took our coats and treated me like a queen. I fancied the waiter who had some sort of moustache going on but was FIT and it did suit him. He kinda reminded me of the ugly one out of we are scientists, ONLY because of the moustache! I have weird taste sometimes! But i'm in to facial hair these days! Afterward we wandered around and Reece's dad recommended that we went to Fortnum & Mason. It had the most beautiful window displays EVER it told a christmas story and we took ALL the photos there! We also went in one of those bike taxi things. AMAZING! After all this we went back to where we were staying and fell asleep. Friday was shopping, site seeing, rushing around and the Lion King, which Reece had bought me tickets for eeee. It was perfect. The opening sequence we both cried and I truely loved every minute of it. Perfect times. Then wandered around and went for some drinks. Saturday last minute sight seeing/visiting the queens home and then the mad rush for the coach home. The journey home was awful as I fell alseep and I hurt my neck. When we got to Leeds the guy at the cockpit might aswell have cavity searched Reece and I, baring in mind we told him several times we'd JUST got back from London. None the less they took some stuff off me and I got it back at the end :s! Saw Lau&Sean and Lauren though, which was nice!

Bayside were REALLY good, I stupidly enjoyed them and having only heard one song of theirs I felt bad and will listen in future =]!! Hit The Lights were good but the singer was too "gangster" for his own good and his cockiness reminded me of a certain ex boyfriend so that mad me sad! But overall pretty awesome, minus the total downer from coming back from superfunawesomelondontimes!

Monday college and exam. GAY! Tuesday, school, where the kids are just mental becuase it's coming up to Christmas now. Wednesday I was ILL at school and they sent me home. I got so mad with a kid I turned around and said "i'm not going to argue with you, you've just lost your entire break". This was due to him being HORRID and EVIL and me being about to vomit EVERYWHERE and collapse, then cry! So Reece came to look after me (but only for 2 hours as he had to be in Nottingham) and provided many a cuddle, and we watched nice programmes! Louis Theroux is still, and probably will, ALWAYS be one of my favourite men! The crime shows his did in Philadelphia and Johannesburg were awesome! I know i'm a week behind the times but this was the only time i've had to watch them. Thank you sky plus!

Last night I SLEPT, not greatly, but better than usual. I awoke this morning to spend the entire morning fretting because I had my first ever driving lesson today. I had to overcome the whole car crash fear and to be honest, it went pretty well. I drove up the road a few times and learnt about all the controls and saftey features of the car! I enjoyed it. Have one next Friday morning at 11am eeek! Go Fovs!

This weekend is Yeah Right! Supposed to be a birthday ngiht out, but either way i'd have been going to Yeah Right so it doesn't matter TOO much if people don't come, although saying that I know that i'll get upset over the principle of people not coming etc. I'm sure it will be amazing though and Rich and I can scream Get Up Kids really loud and I can serenade Bee, and kiss Reece. Oh, I actually reckon it'll be a bit perfect actually!

I always hate this time of year because it's when my Grandad died, and although I think about him a lot, I always get saddened over him at this time. Makes me so upset about people who have lost loved ones! Bad things shouldn't happen to nice people, although then we'd be over-run by 800 year old people then! Hmmm. Contemplative!

I'm off to visit Rich tomorrow and am stupidly looking forward to it! I miss that boy loads. And also seeing Bee etc on Saturday will be awesome. I've missed my friends and am so grateful for them =]!! Reece is amazing too, i'm stupidly lucky to have him and have him put up with my crazy emotions. I love him ridiculous amounts. Life is pretty swell at the moment, especially when I think about the things that make me smile, but I guess that's pretty obvious right?! Go team smiley none the less.

I have lots of christmas shopping left to do so don't roll on christmas kthanks!

So last Friday Rich, Beechy and I ventured to the One Stop, bought junk food, and whilst queueing up, found a magazine called "True Detective". This was clearly the funniest thing in the world to us, and therefore we bought it.
When we got home we laughed at the people inside, who had had clearly traumatic experiences of murder and/or rape! This aside, we thought it would be hilarious to cut out the guy who most looked like a peado and stick him on the toilet seat so that when anyone went to the toilet they'd see his face! The results were amazing, and he is still there now! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Beechy then went on to cut out a photo of an old lady who was some sort of murderer and then got an old copy of bizzare and found a woman with huge fake boobs and nipples the size of my face, and made a collage which is now on display at 29a North Lane's living room. We then thought it'd be brilliant to make a boy band out of "America's most notorious killers" and call them the CONVICTZZZ! Unfortunately (some people may think), this is what I do for fun, however, I believe that is it fantastic, and this brings me the greatest happiness! It trully does. I've missed hanging out with Rich and Beechy doing pointless things. It's one of my many joys of life.

sorry i'm not the girl with my own club night!
sorry I get more joy out of watching a film or a documentary, than going out getting wasted and speaking to people who lack in personality.
i'm sorry i'm not "interesting".
sorry nothing I do is good enough.
sorry my help means jack shit.

This is how I feel RIGHT NOW about certain aspects of my life and about certain people. However, this is subject to change. (in about 10 minutes knowing me)

Frank Turner is making my life awesome today. I adore that man!
My nose is sore and my lips are peeling off, but sudocrem and green tea make it all worth while.

Film festival tickets - ORDERED!
College work - DONE! (minus the bits I just DON'T understand).
Awesome night with Reece last night - DONE!
Typing like i'm Gordan Ramsey - DONE!

'cos lately i've been tired and uninspired!

2008-10-27T15:46:16Z

I haven't updated this in soooo long.

Nothing much to say to be honest, i've been feeling a bit low (which I don't fancy going into the ins and outs of it), and have had a few highs so I guess it SORT OF balances out.

One of my biggest highlights was High School Musical 3! It was just AMAZING, I literally couldn't have wished for it to be any better. It had the tackyness as well as awesomeness, and Zac Efron topped it all off by been FIT! Highschoolcrushmuch?!

Furthermore, Farewell and Houston Calls, were sooooo good. Well Houston Calls were medium, but Farewell were BRILLIANT! So i'm glad we went. Went to cockpit afterwards and I just didn't enjoy it. Well I did, but after an hour and a half I was BORED. Guess I take pleasure from other things now. Drinking just makes me feel sick :s!

Friday was pretty good, and different. Reece and I went to this house gig in Hyde Park. I really enjoyed myself, although we only saw two bands and didn't stay alllll night, but whilst we were there it was fun! PLUS, when we were walking back to his uni accommodation we threw leaves at each other, chased each other, and had some giggles which was just perfect.
and in this moment, I swear we were infinite!"

The thing i'm really looking forward to is the film festival. There are sooo many awesome films Jonny and I plan on seeing, so that should be awesome. Also going to check out the new Leeds Museum. Which is hopefully good. Does anyone know??!

School is amazing, the kids are really good. I know it's the school holidays now though so i'm not there and to be frank, i miss them. Even the brats! I love how the littlest thing excites them and they can witter on and on about nothing, but it obviously means the world to them! I envy them, because I miss being like that, no worries etc! =[ I wish i could say the same about college, however, that is the WORST experience of my life and I utterly despise it and get down about it everyday! I have all the work to do over the "holidays" because our teahcer bailed and gave us no work when our folders were supposed to be handed in with all this work we HAVEN'T learnt about a week ago. Everyone is kicking off. Luckily i'm with oldish women on my course so I don't seem like a "teenager who can't stick to anything or do the work" even though, 1. i'm not a teenager and 2. i do stick to things, but they're lack of organisation is actually beyond ridiculous! Hopefully it'll be sorted after the holidays!

Reece and I will have been together 9 months on Wednesday, it's going ok, minus the odd fights, which are just ridiculous, but nevermind, eh?! =/ I love him muchly though so =]! (y) go team life!

i miss old times with friends.....so so much! ='[

I wish my stupid jealousy of EVERYTHING didn't eat me up inside!

I was thinking earlier "What if I lost my memory?! Developed alzeihmers, had a crash, or got brain damaged somehow...and I lost all my memories?!"
I know it's a horrid thought, but I seriosuly wish that I could record every moment, every thought, every feeling in my life, so that if something tragic was to happen, i'd be able to look back and see what kind of person I was, and how happy people made me!

My brain at the moment is a constant inner dialogue and it's working a hundred to the dozen. A lot of the time when i'm down, the thing that brings me back up is the thoughts of memories! When I feel distant from my friends, I think about what we've done in the past, how i felt at the time and how i'll look forward to more moments like that. I think about how i've been in love, how the love I have now with reece is like no other. The way he makes me feel. And what if that was to just suddenly all go away?!

I say this based on the fact that my nana has alzeihmers and has done for as long as I can remmeber. She's deteriorated to such a rate that she can't have a conversation now, and although she doesn't understand i'd like to be able to know that deep down my memories were written down, even if i couldn't understand them. Just so someone else could see how happy I was in my youth. It's a constant upset everytime I see her now cos I feel awful for her....she's absolutely amazing and I love her to bits =]!!

I miss my boy soooo much lately. I feel like he trully understands me and despite our arguments and faults, we stil always end back up in each others arms more in love than ever, and I honestly couldn't ask for anything more.

I'm currently reading No one Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July. Since i've only read the first two stories I don't know if it's good or not! I hope it's not overly pretentious!

I'm off to bed I don't feel well =[

2008-07-06T14:47:20Z

From now on i'm going to start carrying my notebook and pen around because not enough of my thoughts get written down & when it's the time to write them down ,I've forgotten them, or can't put them into the exact words as when I originally thought them! Even if it's something insignificent like when I was little and used to cut up potatoes for hours then make daft concoctions of drinks then just pour them away! I wish i could amuse myself for this long now with things! I think far too much these days, & with my current state of mind, it kind of doesn't help!
Boy, I want you to know EVERYTHING about me, even these little insignificent things that mean nothing, because at the time they meant the world to me, and you do now! I've NEVER felt as close to someone before and I like it...thankyou for being you!

my favourite books of this year are: The New Rules Of High School by Blake Nelson & The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I can relate to them far too much!

Everything keeps going wrong but I'm just laughing at it!
It's easier that way...i mean seriosuly life is such a LOL.
I can see myself looking back in a few years time and being like "remember that time we all got stressed".
I'm finding this "lets not get overly stressed and just laugh at everything" approach pretty good to be honest!

Slam Dunk was amazing. We The Kings :O!
The after show party was IMMENSE. everyone was there too. Was awesome to see Mel, Laura, Johnny G and Mikey and dance like IDIOTS!

I go to Florida a week today for 3 weeks! So excited, but sad to leave everyone cos i'll miss them LOADS!
But seriosuly i'm sat here with a towel wrapped round my head staring at my mucky clothes, with a phone that's DIED laughing! I'm quite a fan!

This is the only day in the past two weeks that I haven't been surrounded by my friends, and the truth is I HATE it! I feel very lonely.

On a good note the past few weeks have been amazing (minus the incredible amounts of misisng boy)!

I'm off to use my time wisely now and watch trailers for films that either no one cares about, or are too old for people to know what they are. LOL
