They are called XX teens - which is about an internet friendly search option as my friend Patrick's band 'sexy kids'. Gah!

AFC Wimbledon got promoted!!

...who lives in a house like this..?

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:52:03 GMT

I've no idea if this post will ever reach the LJ servers as I am currently mooching off some unsecured wireless network which is SO weak, that every 10 seconds or so my computer tells me that I am "not connected".... only to tell me 5 seconds later that I am. Whatsmore the pages wont load properly rendering the internet looking much like I imagine it did back in the days when Al Gore claims he invented it .

YES....so I am now residing in my new pad (or technically, as the LAW would have it, my mum's new pad but heck, what did the law ever mean to me?! besides I am paying the bills and mortgage, so yeah...mine). It feels kind of strange (no landlord to call on when things go wrong around the house...no housemates to avoid (for all that my silent, invisable chinese woman at the old place counted as a housemate)) but good too... I think.

ANYWAY...now that I am all grown up (hahaha), I need some new art work to adorn my walls. Has anyone got any recommendations? I know that seems a strange request, but I am at a loss as to what to put up that doesn't reduce my flat to looking like a student dive/teenage boy's bedroom... at the same time, I don't want to put up pictures that aren't 'me' (I don't mean that literally, but I am sure you knew that).

Hmm what does everyone else do when they grow up? I am not ready for 'fine art' just yet...

(In serious real life, I should be studying/plotting ways to escape horrible work/filling in council tax forms/not rewatching last week's heroes...)

M.I.A. tomorrow night... expect lots of OMG...SQUEE posts from me afterwards (provided I can find a wireless network to hijack).

Firstly, I love my bank manager - he is the best!

Secondly, I really don't want to be one of *those* women who buys cutesy toys for their pets that the pet'll never appreciate but I saw this today and couldn't resist.

I know, I know... I AM one of *those* women now.

Everything else - bleurgh. I bought posh rissotto from Heart Buchanan today and didn't heat it up properly and now I'm not feeling too good.

Back to the books!

I just checked my bank balance and I am £5.80p overdrawn... wtf? This is seriously bad news. Not only do I not have any money, but it totally screws up my credit rating that I have worked SO hard to improve this past year or so. I am going to have to call my bank manager tomorrow and beg him to waiver the charges etc...

exams+money worries+work tomorrow=STRESSED me.

Being an adult sucks. I'm off to trawl facebook and see what all my primary school friends are up...catch up on the good times, when life was simpler (or at least, a magic fairy took care of things like money and food and housing).

...I'm tired of hanging by the DJ box pretending that I'm cool...

Woo! Welcome back screwed up sleeping pattern!

I really need to sleep soon. Tomorrow is a busy day. First work then SPIDER-MAN 3 (yes, I am a nerd) and then some dancing at the Old Fruit Market to Tim Sweeney (DFA, Beats in Space) and one half of Optimo. For some reason (too boring to explain) about 70% of my friends and I have guest list places (which is handy because I am totally skint). After that I really need to get my head down and get on with some revision. Tort textbook, here I come!

But for now, I am sat here, one eye on the election results coming in (The SNP have just taken their first seat from Labour...*sigh*) and the other concentrating on a silly 'career timeline flowchart' that Boss A has asked for. The information is all there, but I just can't get it to look 'pretty'. I know that this timeline is probably going to end up in the hands of my firm's management committee so I should at least make it look like I spent more than 5 minutes on it...

I don't know what was up with Boss B today; she had soooo much red blusher on I couldn't look at her and keep a straight face. She looked positively clown-esque. Then, she told me about how she had phoned the courts asking if a date had been set down for an inquest into X's death... except she had got her names mixed up and X was very much still alive, and just happened to work in the office she had just called. Nice.

Wow, The Green Party just came third here in the Kelvin constituency (which I believe was their only 'first past the post' seat they stood for). Thats not a bad result, even if it doesn't win them a seat in this particular case.

It was sodding pension information...yawn...Zzzzz

My mum phoned me at work this morning to tell me that a letter from the Inland Revenue turned up, addressed to me, at my old OLD house in London (the one I moved out of when I was 17!!) which was subsequently passed on to a neighbour who passed it on to Jo who is passing it on to my sister tonight. What the heck are the Inland Revenue doing writing to me at an address I have not lived at for over 10 years? Surely I can't owe taxes from a decade ago, can I?

My sister picks the letter up in 15 minutes and is going to phone me then as she opens it. It'll probably turn out to be nothing, but I'm dreading what it could be. Of course, if I was am optimist, I could speculate as to whether I was getting a tax rebate, but I am not, and the sheer thought is just ridiculous!

tick, tick, tick...

...out on the streets I feel like a robot by the river, looking for a drink...

I'm convinced that 'Cats on Fire' are the work of the devil, albeit annoyingly addictive (but in a really bad way). Oh god...make it stop! I am willing to forgive the woeful lyrics as I don't think english is their first language but it is as if Moz never gave up on jangly guitars or that music never moved on from 1985... not that there is anything wrong with music from 1985... its just that I am not sure the world needs another Moz impersonator and certainly not one who seems intent on taking the lowest-common denominator aspects of the Smiths and rehashing it 10 times over an album. I don't usually feel inclined to rant about music but this band have really hit a nerve. I'm sure they are lovely boys though...

Stuff:- Sammy Lee took over at Bolton. AFC Wimbledon play away at Bromley in the first leg of the semi-final play offs tomorrow evening. Uffie's 'Hot Chick' is not the best song to have stuck in your head if you are inclined to sing out loud at work. I have exams in 3 weeks. I've been watching a lot of 'The Wire'. Logan tried to wake me up on Friday by scratching my nose with his paw - I now have an (even) big(ger) red nose, but hey, it worked, I woke up. On Saturday he tried a different method and knocked over a big glass of water I had cleverly placed next to my bed the night before in a hangover-avoiding tactic. I desperately need a bigger flat so that the cat has more of his own space (and I can get more sleep). My housemate has managed to consume two entire packets of pasta of mine (without asking) in the past 3 days. Admittly this only amounts to about £1.50's worth of pasta but I am still pissed off. Likewise, he has failed to return one of my pans and has burnt the other. I will still avoid confronting him about all of this though because I am a pussy.

Miaow. Purrrrrrrrrr.

...There's all the work that needs to be done, It's late, for revision...

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 23:45:11 GMT

The realisation that I have less than a month until my exams start has come somewhat as a shock. I have so much to learn. Too much I think sometimes...and I've freaking out, wondering why I am even bothering with law school... I need to keep telling myself that besides my inherent laziness, I'm a semi-smart cookie who just needs a swift kick up the arse to get me working.

Still struggling with jetlag... current sleep time seems to be about 4.30am which is fine at weekends but not so good during the week when I have to be up for work at 7am. I was so tired today that I actually spent half of my lunchbreak with my head on my desk asleep. The weekend was exhausting but suprisingly satisfying. I thought being back in Glasgow after 3 weeks away would be a little depressing, but Chris & Matt managed to be at their goofy nerdy bests on Saturday and an afternoon/evening of drinking with the two of them was lots of fun. Admittly the fact that the Camera Obscura aftershow was held at the Barfly (a fact we didn't know when we (well, Chris) blagged our free Barfly passes off some girl called Kerry, using only the chat up powers of the daleks) meant that not only was the Barfly about 50 times better than usual (and to be honest, it still kinda sucked), I got the chance to catch up with a few folk I hadn't seen for a while, which was nice. Kevin tried to tell me that Girls Aloud split up whilst I was away on holiday, which caused more than a few minutes of sheer panic on my part, but I've not been able to back this story up internet-wise since...so who knows?

Anyway, in a revision avoiding exercise, I'm off to draw up a revision timetable which I have no intention of sticking to.

Lots of pictures but few words (for now).

Must sleep.

So, I'm back from my 18 day trip around the world. Tokyo, New Zealand and LA. Photos slowly appearing on my flickr account, as and when I can be bothered naming, tagging and uploading them all. Fabulous, Fantastic, Fun. (The trip, not flickr).

I've been hit by panic attacks quite badly these past few days. I don't really know why.

I wish I was still in the USA... dying for another Taco Bell bean burrito.

Hurrah for hanging out with fab new people (they'd know who they were if they were reading this).

Boo to evil bitch bosses who make my working life a misery.

David Gest's security entourage consists of about 8 burly men and 2 policemen. Why?

Will I ever get back in to my blogspot account?

I'm off to google random IT girls' blogs.

...stuck inside of mobile with those procrastination blues again...

Sigh...so beautiful...

Ok... It has been a while...funny how I appear back when I have serious academic work to do.

I would say this was my most pointless post ever, but heck, there is some serious competion for that title...

Ok, I'll admit it...I forgot my blogspot login...

WHERE DID ALL MY LJ FRIENDS GO? and more to the point, ALL MY POSTS!!!

A neutron walks into a bar and has a few beers. When he's ready to leave he asks the bartender how much he owes. The bartender says, "For you? No Charge."
