Ahh.

Moved up to Glasgow... been here a wee bit over a month now. It's going pretty well despite the fact i'm totally skint all the time but well that's okay.

Been out an absolute load, and it's going to have to stop. Went to Imogen Heap a few weeks back with some of the guys which was a laugh. Then went on a night out with Laura and Steph to Buff, then some of them came back to the flat. That was also a good night, not been out with the girls together in ages. Then went to a Miss Atlanta gig at the barfly and they played amazing so that was pretty cool too. Went on a night out with the Kirkie Crew and managed to get myself in the worst state ever. And on Sunday me and Laura decided off the cuff after a day of shopping and eating in TGI's that we would go on a wee night out. Went to cheapoo campus and then to Buff. Got some dancing on the go and Laura fell an absolute peach. Was amazing. Last night went up to Iain, Moiser and Gav's new flat. It's lovely! Well weird that they've all moved up. Pretty cool though that all my friends are up in Glasgow now -with the exception of Laura, but she's up all the time anyway. In fact she's sitting over there watching teachers feeling sorry for herself because she managed to get nearly as drunk as I did last week. (that's not a good thing, hehe). Tonight is the night of Club Noir... I'm scared!

Just did some reading back... we had some good times in the good old days. Talking to mister E K David. We had some great parties man... like every weekend or something. Hehe. It actually makes me cry with laughter. Raiding drink cabinets. Eye shots. Picture drawing. Falling down the stairs head first. Heads down toilets and pretty much spewing in every square inch of Ryan's house.

Empire!!

I have Tool, Imogen Heap and Placebo tickets. = Amazing.

Just got a text from my friend telling me Sparklehorse are playing.

I want tickets! There's hunners of bands I want to see this weather actually.

Watching the V highlights. Kasabian look like they're rocking it.

And Radiohead blew me away.

Fuck the cunts that are going to see them next week. :( Heh.

I've got your name and number.

E, Es, E, Ons, Ez, Ent! Is, Is, It, Issons, Issez, Issent! Ds, Ds,D, Dons, Dez, Dent!

One tense revised. (present. hahahaha).

Why the fuck do the french have so many verb endings for one tense?

Only got, past, future, conditional, imperfect, plus perfect and perfect to go. Thats roughly 130 verb endings to memorise for Monday.

Fuck, anyone?

Oh dear.
I was out my bin last night. Mad with it.
Haha.
Me and Fiona went to the Union, just for shits. It was amazing! There was ten people in the whole union. Then they left and it was just me and Fiona so we had the games hall all to ourselves. We played pool, which I won! Haha. Then drank, got some chat from the depressed barman, put some cool music on and played some shooting games which i'm shit hot at may I add. It was pretty class. Then left and headed down to the Barfly. The band were utter gash. GASH. Just as well I was steaming. They were all dead pretencious. I took the piss. The singer was like ''yeah man, just say ba-ba-ba and sing along ''. So I did. ''ba-ba-black sheep, have you any wool?'' Me and Fiona were the only people to find this hysterical. He kept looking over, which in hindsight is a bit of a shame but he was a dick. We were pure dancing and pretending to be metal heads. Fiona banged her head. I did the hand gesture. Thing. \W/ (or whatever the gay thing is). Oh and the ''Thy shall *insert word of choice here*'' in a 'metal/screamo voice. Did some elbow pointing at hot guys. Well Fiona did. And I laughed and took the piss out of her unsubtlty whilst sipping on a grosch/strongbow concoction. Then went to the Indian and struck a deal of a pakora and a chips combo. Two quid! I'm gid. Got the train home having thee most rank/dirty/graphic conversation ever with this lassie just staring. It was funny. No wonder she's staring, Fiona saying ''oh but do you not think its so satisfying''. Hehe.

Absolutely wasted. Came home and talked utter rubbish. She text her wee man and I complained about missing my friends. It's shitee. Got some chat with an equally wasted Danny and a sober Dad.

Got a potential flat yesterday but don't think Steph is digging it which is a gutter. Acht weel. Sure i'll find one.

Thu, 10 Aug 2006 22:46:22 GMT

Okay so today I worked. Got in later than expected. Decided to go to this Spiritual community meeting just to see what it was like. I always getting feelings, dreams and intuitions and want to see if I can tune into them a bit more. There was a couple of mediums doing readings and things which was really interesting to see. Then the second part of it was focusing on our own techniques which I didn't think I would stay on for but did. So we started meditating. It was the best feeling in the world. I have never felt so relaxed. Like everything disapeared and I was aware of every inch of my body and breathing whilst still vaguely knowing what the lady was saying, but muted. That's the best way to describe it, my environment was muted which made myself sort of enhanced... like a trance really. Then I felt like all this energy from one corner of the room. Like a force or something, and then this pain boring into my eyes. I could feel the bones of my eye sockets as if a miagraine was about to start. After the meditation it took me a while to come out of it and we all had to say what we felt. Now obviously I felt this had no significance but said it anyway. The lady in the corner I was drawn spoke up when I was saying this because she felt this related to her because she had been drawn to me and also had a pain in her eyes and she started crying whilst meditating. The other lady sitting next to her, also in the corner that the energy was coming from had had a miagraine all day which obviously affects her eyes. It's a bit weird but very cool.

Blowing my mind

Last night was pretty good. Started off gutted because I missed the train because of some stupid woman driver. Got the next train and was up in the city for 11. Met Steph in her taxi and jumped up to the pig and the butterfly for a drink. It was a lovely wee joint and said happy birthday to mister gavin. Left and went to the ABC and they went to Buff. In the queue these lassies gave me n steph free passes. Got in and met Laura who was oot her bin and her sister and her sisters pal. They were pretty sound but I wasn't drunk enough. Downed a few drinks and I was fine man. Met up with Alan who was even more wasted than me. It was quite funny. So thought if I can't beat him, join him and ended up pretty equally wasted.

The day we went into town and I bumped into big Ryan! Was cool to see him. Then walked further up the street and bumped into Fiona. Then we went to Burger King, and then went around the corner to a cool wee Irish pub and watched the football. The result, :( Walked about town and he got his wee hiking trainers for Dominican Republic. Lucky bastard. Stoated about, had to wait ages to cross the road because of the orange walk. Pft. Hate that shit. Then sat in the station for a while. Got the train and bumped into Danny. So got some chat off him and that's about it. Just ran my wee brother about tonight and mucked about with my new mobile phone. In the house myself... bored. :(

Son, fear is the heart of love

Today I had my first experience of extreme road rage. I was on the roundabout and some dick in a white van pulled out in front of me. Then he started laughing. Had to fuckin break so hard. Flashed my lights and stuck the finger up. Was hefty raging, then kind of found it a bit amusing because I wasn't dead.

Last night was Steph's bday night out. Was good seeing her not seen her in ages, so had lots to talk about. But aye, headed up in the car with Iain, Moiser and Roy. They had quite good chat actually, although I still don't know what a bufty is. Bastarts wouldn't let me in on their tattie howker banter. Gutter.

Headed up to Stavka. Sat and had drinks. Was talking to one of the barmen actually about Miss Atlanta, he was pretty sound, then Steph rudely interupted us and turned up, haha. Only joking. Soon after Fiona and Lynchy arrived and got their chat and big hugs because i've not seen them in so long so was great seeing them and getting the Fiona gossip in the toilets, lol. How girly. Aye just stayed in Stavka was really fun.

Then went to Buff, minus the West K crew, and Adam, Craigy and Danny got us in there. Nothing much was happening in Buff really. Got a bit upset like, which i'm embarressed about because I can't even blame it on the drink because I wasn't drunk. Shit happens eh. Then towards the end of the night went and danced with the lassies. Left early, really couldn't be fucked with sleazy boys. Headed up to the chippy. It was a great banter. Met these wee guys who were like 15, pretending to be 18. Ahh it was really funny, just went along with it really. One of them let the team down when he said ''so what school do you go to?''. Refreshing to know I have such a youthful glow. Ended up walking ahead with two of them, then had to wait on the lassies who were lagging behind. Meanwhile was talkin to two guys outside the newsagents. They were really sound actually. Got to the chippy and met another random who was also very cool. I thought Fiona was going to pull in the same chippy second time round but alas he was gay. Was so shocked, didn't look gay at all. Well, mibs a wee bit, looked like Dougie J from school. He was with this hacket lassie. She asked for some of my chips which I kindly handed over because they were utterly disgusting. (well seen i'm normally steaming when I eat chips and cheese). Instead of taking a civilised nibble she fucking shoved fifty chips and half a pound of melted cheese in her gob. It was minging. It was a sight. Although I think I muttered ''don't know why i'm fat'' a bit too loud.

Harder, better, faster, stronger

My mum just told me the funniest story.

My papa needed a spark plug for his lawn mower so my cousin drove him to B n Q. There wasn't any left. He then decided to look at the lawn mowers themselves which were for sale. He spotted a fellow old man and struck up conversation, winging about there not being any spark plugs for sale. Usual banter. The old guy just told him to take the one that was on one of the show lawn mowers. The two of them were crouched down trying to pull this part out of the lawn mower to no avail. But he was determined to get the part. Did he wait until they were in stock next week? No. He then bought a tool in B n Q specifically to steal this part out of the lawn mower! The manager came up whilst he was on the floor wrestling with the lawn mower but papa told him they were doing no harm and proceded to steal this part. Subtle.

He then decided to look at the plants. Found this big plant that he liked, stormed half the breadth of where the plants are kept to find someone who worked there, and held the plant above his head saying ''awww year roun' hen?'' she was obviously taken aback and he repeated his self as if she was the stupid one. Ah dear. Probably not that funny if you don't know him. Just a usual day trip for auld Jack.

I love my papa so much.

What a legend.

My cousin is never taking him out again. Haha. He said it was like that scottish programme with the two old men in it... not chewing the fat, the other one. I can totally picture it. My papa wears those kind of clothes hahaha.

Sad and beautiful world

Sun, 30 Jul 2006 22:21:00 GMT

Went up to Iains the night. Met up with Laura. Watched sugar rush. Got Paulo nutini/Roddy womble cd's copied from Iain.

I've got Placebo and Imogen Heap tickets.
What a God.

I think someone should come and see Starsailor with me at the Corn Exchange next week.

(If I get my road tax i'll drive....)

Funny little frog

Sun, 30 Jul 2006 02:56:06 GMT

Just a wee French up-date.

Travelled down a fortnight ago, it was pretty okay, took roughly seven hrs in car, one hour on ferry, should have only took 3hrs to Paris but we got lost... which was not my fault at all. We stopped off in Dover anyway. Haha. Oh dear. The car drive was funny. My mum for some unknown crazy reason.. brough a 'learn french in a week' cd for her and my dad for a laugh. They had me in tears as usual. I think the only thing they learnt was 'la douche'(shower) 'salle de bains' (bathroom) and the letter 'w'. The accomodation in Paris was erm, interesting? Very small, but close by to transport. The Parisian drivers are absolutely mental... like there are no lanes it's just a free for all. And there was these traffic wardens who just scream and whistle at the traffic to no avail. Great entertainment. In fact, on the first night it made me cry with laughter. One of those things you just have to see I suppose. Also seen a big protest about all the French troops being over in the middle East, there was hundreads of riot police on hand with guns and shit.

Yeah first night was pretty amazing like. Headed into Paris centre. Had a drink, dad ordered a large beer. He then got handed a two pint glass (like the german ones) we were so shocked, haha. So I helped myself to some. Went a stoat. The Eiffel tower is so lovely at night... an eyesore during the day mind. Then ended up going to this Irish pub. Oh dear. Ended up completely wrecked. My mum and dad was trying to talk to this French guy who spoke no english. I was then used as a translator for the whole night, which was quite amusing and ended up getting the guys life history... owned a resteraunt, played golf, seven year old daughter, nearly/kinda married, lived minutes away, never been ice skating, would come to Scotland next year... just the usual.

I woke up in my first morning in Paris feeling utter gash. Head down the toilet. Spewing my ring. After that felt great. Only had two full days in Paris so totally made the most of them. Seen pretty much everything. Louvre, Notre Dame, L'arc du trimophe, Palace etc etc. Was actually pretty great. In the Louvre I seen the Mona Lisa. Could have stayed in there all day looking at the art work. Was really strange to see some pieces I had studied at school in real life form. Mum and Dad got bored pretty quick so had to go. Dunked our feet in some of the foutains and stuff. It was weird seeing the Mona Lisa though. Like, how many other people had stood there and looked at it before me. Nore Dame was also pretty like that as well. Lit a candle. Stuff like that kind of makes me think. Think I could actually be pretty spiritual if I gave it the chance... :S Bit of a geek though eh. Seen the exact spot where Princess Diana crahed. That wasn't very nice. Weird to see it in real life because it was on the TV so often. Also seen the Ritz, and where all the designer jewlery shops are around the corner. It was actually quite sickening.. ALL the young beautiful ladies had their arm through a right old man. Like there was about five couples like that, and the street was really small. Obviously all about the money eh. Gads. I went into a few designer Parisienne shops.. Gucci shop, I think I lasted four minutes. It is so superficial. Didn't really like that side of Paris.

Then headed down further south to the Vendee.. St john de monts to our villa. We pretty much chilled in St john de monts. Went out of town a few days to see what the places were like. Went to the beach one day. Had a shot at driving. Hollly fuck. It was pure scary. So weird driving on the right hand side. It would actually be easier if I was either in my own car or had a right hand drive, but alas, I was in the da's vectra which is so senstive, not a good thing when you're so heavy footed as me. :s Think I jerked the parents' neck a few times.

Most nights I sat out on the patio with some wine, book and music myself. One of the guys who was staying across from me was pretty hot. Bit embarressing because my mum and dad proceded to say 'aaah la douche' at every given opportunity. They thought we were raving loonies. It was really good to hear the French banter as well. Learnt so much. They are a bit eccentric sometimes though. I absolutely love it. Like I was sitting down and all I could hear was this buzzing and it was a random guy with a metal detector. Weird. Also, when we were driving in Paris the police (when they have their sirens on) have a guy hanging out the back window with a gun to make sure you stop! Text Francoise quite a bit actually. We worked out that he was roughly be an all round eight hour drive for him to get where I was so he couldn't meet me. Bit of a gutter actually because we planned to see each other, turned out we weren't as close as we thought we were.

While I was there, bought quite alot of alchol back. I mean 5lts of wine cost £3.50, how could I not? 10ltrs of wine, bottle of malibu, crate of liffe (sp) beer and 6btls of Duvel. I'm going to be in a drunken haze for some time.

But yeah. Back home. Working Monday-Saturday. Can't say i've been missing working a six day week but there you go. Another thing which is pretty shit... I give up my car on Monday. Gutted. :( I love Claud. He's the only love in my life. :(

Liam is home tommorow morning. Leaving in two hours to pick him up at the airport. Think he had a laugh in the Canada hockey school, but someone skated over his pals' wrist, gashed it by a couple of inches and had the vein popping out. Had to get nine stitches. Fuck. Sounds sore. Blood was pouring everywhere apparently. I've seen a burst vein in a dog... it's not pretty.

Yeah so aye. That was my French trip. It's gave me a right taste for travelling though like. I seen the coolest hippy van actually in Dover. It was a van all the way from Holland, filled with three aging hippies who had painted it themselves. I want that as my next car OR an old school mini. Not a new one.

Then i'm set to travel the world...

In the morning.

Mon, 17 Jul 2006 00:20:39 GMT

Man. I'm gutted at the moment. I just checked my emails, I had an email from Caroline Lalanne, asking me to come over to France and work from 28th July - 28th August. It's too short notice because I have no money. I have a exam resit. I have a new job. I'm on holiday in France until the 30th which makes it far more frustrating... the fact i'm in the country! AAAAAAAAAAAAGHHR. I want to work in France. I have the job, and I can't go.

Last night got wasted. Went for a civilised meal with the girlies. Drank far too much wine. Spoke to so many folk on the phone. Got some good banter in King Tutts. Lol. Fiona pulled in a chippy. It was legendry.

Today was hung over. Went shopping in Glasgow. It was great. Also packed my holiday stuff. What a chore. I hate packing.

I wonder if there is any way I could work in France... AAAAAAAAAAGHR. So frustrated.

Fri, 14 Jul 2006 20:16:24 GMT

Man, it's so good to just have one job again. I have got time to do things now. It's great.

So Monday came back from Oxegen.

Tuesday I chilled, then met the lassies, Louise, Lynchy, Fiona, Alison and Grahame. Went to see Pirates! Ooft. JD and OB, oh aye. Got chucked out the Ark. Haha. Got some holiday chat.

Wednesday night met up with Danny and went a quick drive. He was cheeky as usual.

Thursday I went bikini shopping with the mother. Offt. That was a shambles. One beaster of an arse I have. Haha. Went to see my Gran and Papa. Got the family low down again. I swear to god, I felt like I wanted to kill someone I was that angry.

Today sat about. Did some admin work. Took a stoat into Saltcoats. That place depresses me so much. Got a TFC pizza. First i've had in a long time, but it's not the same going yourself! Haha. Got a pair of jeans for three quid. Yes I shop in the best places.

Tommorow i'm meeting the mighty Fiona again. Get some chatter on the go. During the day getting Occupational Therapy training which will be so cool. Will need to go to the piercing studio and get my bar changed in my ear. It's too big now, and really difficult to get my earphones in. Priorities eh. Plus, means I get to see hot pierced and tatoo boy. It's aww gid.

So excited about going to France. Trying to plan next summer at the moment. Means i'll have to save up a grand... :S It's for a teaching course abroad.

Maaan, there is sooo many c.d's I want to buy.

Some day you will be loved

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 22:53:54 GMT

I went to see my Papa today. It makes me so sad. Ah well.

Regina Spektor Only caught a bit of her set. Was very very good.
Vitalic They were amazing. Danced my arse off.
Cosmic Fury Ditto.
Jose Gonzalez I only caught the end of his set. Teardrops cover. Great.
Dirty Pretty Things Good for what they are but I don't like them.
Feeder We all danced a bit in the field. Typical festival moment.
Death Cab For Cutie They were great! Really enjoyed them.
The Who Only seen their encore because I went to see DCFC. Average.
James Brown He never really sang much. Still great though.

Sunday

Kharma 45 I only heard a few songs. Sounded okay. Might check them out.
Wolfmother Were really good. Don't really stick out though.
The Cribs Ditto.
Manu Chao This was crazy. Foreign dancin is mad. Summery atmosphere.
Bellx1 Ammmazing! Really surprised.
Placebo Great even though I was dying for a pish. Got to the front!
Pharrell Was also great. I was on a bit of a high after Placebo.
Goldfrapp A bit repetitive. Put on a good show with dancers but. Meh.
Forward Russia Only caught the end of their set. Looked as they'd rocked it.
Sigur Ros Absolutely speachless. Hair on the back of the neck.
Paul Weller Only caught the encore because I was at Sigur Ros. Okay.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers Seen the last half an hour. Very quiet. Couldn't hear bass.

Face down ass up that's the way we like to!

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 09:35:54 GMT

How amazing do I feel at this moment in time?

It's actually quite unreal. I feel really strange, like... searching for a less cheesey word than empowered. Like, I can do whatever the fuck I want. Why? I have no idea, but it's strange and I like it.

Just back from Ireland, Oxegen and two major things (for me) has happend. I've decided to tell the bar folk to fuck off, why stay at a job I hate? Like really. I'm also going to FRANCE,. I'm spending a few nights in Paris then heading down the further South, (i think). Can't explain how excited I am.

Oxegen was just the best ever.

Headed over with Iain, Euan, Moiser and Callum on the Wednesday morning. Me and Euan started the day off ant 6.15 drinking in the airport. It felt like a fitting start to the weekend. Flight was like 30mins so that was cool. Jumped on a bus. Found our bearings in Temple bar, and got some chat off some Irish guy which was funny as fuck at like 8 in the morning or something he was steaming. Dumped out bags in the hostel. The hostel was very basic but exactly what I thought it would be like really. Three bunk beds and a tiny wee shower room. Roamed about, got some breakfast at a lovely wee cafe. Bought a football and went to the park whilst listening to the Salvation Army music that they were playing. Got our carry out. Tanned it and went to watch the France game. France won! I lost my bet at the bookies. Gutter. I thought it would have been 2-1. Ah well. Got drunk in some club, Huey from the Fun Lovin' Criminals owns. Then headed to the street in Temple bar. There was literally hundreads of French people. I was in Irish/French banter heaven. So, naturally we all started singing French football songs in French. Euan then grabbed me and proceded to put me on his shoulders. I was soo scared, that boy is so tall. THEN, then French guys started singing a song along the lines of ''get your tits out for the lads'' in French. MORTIFIED. Had a conga. Iain went missing. I fell out with Callum because he was being a shiote about Iain going missing. Haha. Still amazing first day.

The Thursday we left the hostel fairly early and went to the Guiness Factory. It was amazing. Seven stories of telling you how to make Guiness, but it wasn't like a normal museum it was actually really cool. And you got a free pint of Guiness at the end in the Gravity bar where you could see the whole of Dublin. I bought Guiness boxers. :) The place was so big that we ended up staying there the whole day. Bought a cd player and shite for festival. Went back to the hostel and drinking games commenced with my gash wine that was making me want to spew. Then headed over to the Auld Dubliner. Met all the people from the Forum. Getting random phone calls from strangers. Was pretty cool. Everyone we met was sound which was kind of surprising. Got royally drunk and came back to Hostel. This time Moiser fell out with Callum. It was the funniest moment of the whole weekend. I was under the covers absolutely pissing myself.

The Friday we stoated about really. Getting Festival supplies. Finding the bus station. Etc etc. Then got the bus eventually. The people on our bus were absolutely mental. Pure young but looked like proper hippies. Was cool. Pitched tents. Didn't really do much to be honest.

Saturday music. Didn't stay up at night.

Sunday music. Stayed up the whole night untill like 8 o'clock. Me and the lads were singing some songs including:

Flower of Scotland
Some song about Scotland and Ireland
Muff Diving
What's that coming over the hill is it a Moiser?
We're shite, and we know we are
Face down ass up, that's the way we like to...
Random rapping with Callum beat boxing
Tartan army boys type song
Rage against the Machine (when a tent went on fire)

Got some amazing chat. Some guy was teaching me how to Irish dance. Another guy was teaching me gaelic. Another guy was telling me I was a leprachorn (sp?) and another guy was telling me how to have an Irish accent. There was might piss taking. Alcohol swapping. Email address exchanging. It was one of the best festival nights i've had ever.

Yesterday we were all dying - a good weekend was had by all.

Two buses and a plane and we were home.

Soul meets body

Sat, 01 Jul 2006 00:42:34 GMT

So I passed four out of five exams...

Failed the one I most wanted to pass because I got so nervous (french). Totally knew i'd failed and was so angry when I came out the exam. Mind you. Didn't fail it as bad as I thought! 6% short of the pass mark though.. God that's bad isn't it. First exam i've failed ever. Feels weird. God, what a geek. Haha. I'm actually pure annoyed at myself now.

Got a great pass for everything else though. Did best in English. I knew I did well in that though. Nailed it! Yaldi! :)

I have enough credits for next year... so might not even need to resit French. Gutted though. I was such a mess in that exam and totally flunked the grammar section because all the verb endings just jumbled up in my head. Ahhhhghhr. I hate grammar. It's kind of making me re-think taking it next year though.. just gave my tutor a wee email. She's great so i'm sure she'll advise me what to do. Mibs I should do French as an elective instead...? Hmm.

:S

Yees.

I passed Psychology. Got a pretty good mark, (14% more than I thought I would!). That's one subject I know about.. was supposed to get the results a fortnight ago.. postponed until yesterday, now postponed until Monday. It's a royal pain in the arse because i'd quite like to know. Least I have one pass. :)

Work was okay tonight actually. Got some good chat with one of the lassies. Just usual lassie talk, which was nice and pretty funny as usual. She's so like me it's kind of unreal. Also some Irish lads in the pub which severely got me in the mood for Oxegen. Looking forward to hearing that beautiful accent for five days man. Oh aye.

Got let away early, drove home, listening to Meds sooo loud, cruising, fans blowing cold air, singing so loud. Felt amazing. Driving is possibly one of the best things ever. You can feel the worst and jump in the car and suddenly feel like you can do whatever the fuck you want and then not feel so bad anymore. Just that time totally alone is amazing. Sounds weird, perhaps i'm a nutter. I'm pretty sure Gianni pulled out in front of me at a roundabout actually. Looked like him anyway. And there was a lassie in the passengers seat which makes it even more probable. Just finished my night with a cup of tea, good chat and a bit of toast and brie.

My next day off is the day I head to Ireland. Yaldi.

Encore, do you want more?

Been really busy as usual. Pub work. Training. Signs. Just as well I have been busy though because i'm worried about my papa at the moment so it gives me less time to think about it. Just so close and don't want anything to happen but that's pretty unrealistic; can't help it though, and I can't say it's a shock.

Yesterday jumped up to Anniesland, met Danny, went to this cool wee pub and sat outside because it was such a lovely day. Then headed to see his new flat, it is pretty nice wee joint. Drank a Bacardi and Ginger Beer which was surprisingly good. Watched the last OC episode - oh man, it is so sad, even I felt like crying - less said about that the better. Seen Friday Night Project on repeat, PLACEBO! Offt aye. Has made me really excited about seeing them NEXT WEEKEND! Brian Molko is a true ride. Anyway. Yeah, Martin and Louise came back, M and Dboy played PES, me and Louise played a Tekkan esque game, which amused me.

Today, me and the mither took a jont up to Braehead and she totally spoiled me to ribbons. Got some cool shorts, one denium baggy boy type numbers and a surfer type pair. A wee dress, a checked farmer shirt, bikini top, jesus sandles... and I bought myself an anklet because I love them with sandles. It's like a pure gypsie one, with silver circles hanging down. How spoiled am I honestly. :) Picked Laura up and we headed up to Iains for two hours or something. Watched Sugar rush. What a cool programme by the way. Really like it. Iain gave me a primal scream copy. Not sure if i'm entirely digging it to be honest. Really don't know which bands i'm going to see...

Last week got my Oxegen camping gear sorted. Mo'an poundstretcher. Yes. Cheap skate. Got pink plastic wine glasses for 40 odd pence. Nice. Citronela candles for 99p. Tent, floor matt, sleeping bag, air pillow = a total of fourteen pounds.

Now i'm going to kick some bum because registry still haven't posted my exam results, and today was supposed to be the day!

Sweet Dreams. Love you.

Sooo. Been bussy. Was working last Wednesday and it was totally mobbed. Had quite a laugh though, getting photo taken, jumping about the pub dancing like a loon, perving haha. Then after work me and Linzi and the boys went to Madisons. Met some uni punters which was nice. Some other work folk were out as well. On the way back got a lift, there was too many of us in the car so one of the boys jumped in the boot. Dropped Lyon off, then dropped Steph off, and he got out of the boot. Five mins later we got pulled over by the police. I thought he got pulled over for speeding, but apparently it was because someone had seen him get in the boot. Luckily he wasn't in the boot anymore. What was in the boot was a stolen bike! Hahaha. Oh dear. And I couldn't get my seatbelt on because it was stuck. Well thought he was going to get in big trouble.

Thursday me and the Laura went on one of our wee drives. (our second one of the summer). Planned to go up to the East Kilbride Mall... but, missed the turn off so just went to Braehead. I bought wee shoes and a green dress and Laura bought the same shoes. Hehe. They're cute though. Did some dinner too.

Started my training for my new job. It is really really great. It's difficult, but great. Started my Language support sign language, eventually might progress to British sign language but that might take a while... :S Did alot of psychology stuff, practiced discreet trial training and how to use reinforcement for challenging behaviour and inappropriate behaviours. It's pretty complicated but think i'm started to grasp it. Also trying to get my head around data collection too. Should be good evenutally. The sign for 'Q' is the funniest thing in the world... trying not to laugh was really difficult. Today made up self help schedules which was really difficult... her exsisting schedules for tooth brushing weren't in depth enough, we have to include 20 steps for tooth brushing, and it's quite technical. Didn't realise so much went into these things!

Yesterday went up to Glasgow with Iain and Laura. Met Steph, Adam and Chris. Went to Stavka. Then went to Buff. Was a good night and had a wee chat with Chris although I think there was some shit stirring going on which i'm kind of raging about but what can you do. Ach well. Wasn't that drunk considering. Laura was out her bin. Iain was steaming too. Was rather amusing. Got some abuse walking up the street. I don't think i've shouted fuck off so loud ever. Haha. He shat himself. Awww. Seen Magaret the woman that works in the toilet. She remembered me! And was saying i've not seen you in ages I thought you had abandoned Buff.. hehe. Oh and the fucking bar lassie tried to nick five quid off me. So glad I wasn't that drunk or i'd have lost a fiver!

Laura drove us home. I was really rough, but by the time I got home I was perfect and headed for some more training. :-)

Working in my pub tommorow night. I fucking hate a guy that comes in. He is such a sleazy bastart. It really, really annoys me so i'm really abrupt and everyone is kind of taken aback because i'm a bit shy at work considering what i'm normally like, hehe. Can't wait to give it up.

Can't wait 'til Oxegen. Been posting on the forum, supposed to be meeting a crowd off it, including another girl! I won't be the only girl! Yiy. Hehe.

I was working at the weekend. On Saturday it was my aunts birthday so my cousins, my cousins son, and aunt came round for a bbq. It was cool to see them but I had to leave for my work. Then on the Sunday I was working but finished fairly early so headed up to Iains. Got some good chat catch up on the go because i've not seen him in so long. On the Monday I went to the mall with the mither and bought necessities that I had been running out of.. also got studs for my ears to re pierce them which I did. Afterwards I went to the gran and papas and sat in with my gran to see how she was doing, and while I was in my cousin came round too. Then headed up to Iains and arranged OXEGEN. So i'm going with Iain, Moiser, Euan and Callum. Leaving on the Wednesday for two nights in Dublin first, then going to the Festival at the weekend. So all in all going for five days with the five of us. Shall be gid like. Really excited. Yesterday I went for training for my new job. It was really interesting. Talked about it in my myspace blog so i'm not going on another rant :p which is kinda easy when you're passionate about something but yeah. Really chuffed. Then went to my pub job. So all in all worked 12 hours. Knackered today. Working tonight. It's a 50th bday party so i'm going to be rushed off my feet. Gutter. Got my Oxegen ticket through this morning! Tommorow think me and the camboo are going up to East K shopping centre. Not been there in years! I wish my lunch would hurry up and be cooked and I can get back to watching the Family Guy film. Pfft. Oh made a photo bucket today. Check it out. (address is on my myspace). So many good photos.
