1. It was my birthday since I last posted in here, oh look I'm 24 now. I had a wonderful birthday and went out to see benga at the subclub. There are pictures but nobody wants to see them, as we were all so drunk that the photos are a mess of unintentionally awful expressions and everyones hair stuck to their head. One of my friends was sick on me ON MY BIRTHDAY and I was in such a good mood I almost didn't care. Almost. I got some ace presents including skins boxset and the prettiest dress from andy and gemma got me a brilliant veggie recipe book that I've had my head stuck in ever since.

2. I got a job! It starts in september so I should stop being quite so skint soon but it is call centre which I am not so keen on but I have applied for a couple of civil service jobs so maybe I'll hear back from them before I start. Its mildly depressing to think there was no point in going to college and I should of at least kept on my revenue job but oh well.

3. I have myself on a disturbingly healthy diet and exercise plan at the moment which is part awesome new recipe book and part trying to get out of bad habits cause by looong weekends and eating lots of nonsense during the looong hangovers. I have also started drinking hot water in place of some of the gallons of tea I normally drink. But not all I don't really think I could get through a day without some sort of tea.

4. Speaking of long weekends I had the best one ever recently at Duffy and Richie's moving in party (and pre and after party at Jude, Lauren and Smemples) saw lots of old faces and had a wonderful time, I drank too much, smoked too much and stayed up forever but it was really really fun. I think I'd need another month before I could have a weekend like that again.

5. For his 21st my brother is getting a bouncy castle and a party I think this is unfair, I only got a party but I will take full advantage of the bouncy castle because I am more like four than 24. Carl and my parents are in belgium just now a pukkelpop. I am well jealous. I think that makes it five festivals my parents have been at this year.

6. Due to the boredom that comes with being unemployed I read the first two twilight novels, I sort of wish I hadn't and yet want to read the other too. They are compulsively awful and I am quite amused by the idea of sparkly vampires. Oh and boredom probably explains watching One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls every day on e4 (and liking it). I have no-one to blame but myself.

7. I do mostly just watch tv to see the sweetie advert where one sweet talks to another about how they are made from natural things and the other sweet just shouts BRING ON THE TRUMPETS. Its amazing, if only all adverts were up to this idiotic and wonderful standard.

8. I finally, finally got my digital radio to retune and get bbc 6 music to listen to while I cook, I did a small victory dance but I have no idea what button I pressed but I got lots more radio stations while just trying to get away from scouting for girls.

9. Playing drinking games to Doctor Who where you make up the rules as you go along and polish off two bottles of wine each and then going out to see your just started drinking friends is not a good idea. I cringe to think of myself last saturday. The drinking game part was really fun but I do think Andy and I were just drinking at anything by the end. 'Oh look a tree' DRINK. Much, Much less wine will be consumed this week.

10. I saw the X-files! And I really enjoyed it, it was more like a big episode than a film but thats probably why I liked it. The only think I didn't like was Mulder's beard. that was rubbish. Ooo and I saw The Dark Knight, which was so good one of the best films all year, really wonderful and really dark and entirely too scary for a 12, it was maybe a little too long but that was my only quibble with it. And I love Gary Oldman so much in it.

11. I have been watching first series new who reruns on bbc 3 and remembering that I really like Rose, and she only really annoyed me after she was off and getting mentioned all the time like she was the be all and end all of companions.

- I was at glastonbury last weekend and it was wonderful, not a lot of rain, saw a lot of good bands, did a lot of dancing and drank a lot of booze. I am still recovering now. Also my parents came and hijacked the weekend but really I didn't mind it was good to have them there and I only saw them about once a day and they took me in the first place anyway. More about that later when I can get the pictures of my camera...

- I am now properly unemployed and not a student anymore, I need to go down the jobcentre today and sign on and then go and see if i can get an agency job while I look for a proper one. bleh. But on the plus side I've seen a few that look pretty promising.


-DOCTOR WHO, holy fuck I watched it on monday when I came home and Andy had gone out and I was left sitting about just saying fuck to myself about a hundred times.

I have woken up with a cold and I'm not happy about it, I had loads of weird dreams last night including a nightmare about being a professional football player, it was very odd.

Hello! aquarama has been away a lot doing gig type things (and is in london just now) so I have been using my time very productively and acting almost like my parents are on holiday...

I had a bbq on saturday, which was lovely because the weather stayed nice and we sat in my back court listening to tapes and trying to remember how to do social dancing for some unknown reason, we only seemed to remember the gay gordons and strip the willow and we drank champayne to celbrate katie getting a 2:1 in her degree. We came inside at some point and spent the eveing making up songs and singing the wombles theme and I still haven't cleaned up the sprawling mess from the party.

Since sunday all I seem to have done is drink wine on my own and listen to hefner, smoke far far far too much and watch lots of Dr Who. It has been lovely but I do have the feeling of I really should be doing something more proactive than this but at the moment I am having a lot of fun dosing around. I have gone out for walks but this seems mostly to buy dvds of Peter Davison Dr Who so I can listen to commentaries. Wrong in the head. Seriously!

However I have been reminded that the best time to listen to hefner is on your own having drunk at half bottle of wine

I have finally worked out a way of getting photos off my phone, uploading them directly to the internet. It takes bloody ages though!



norman, me and gem at optimo for gemma's birthday, my  aren't i glittery?



me  and the newly returened jude-y in almost the exact same dress

Our new favourite game for photos is to pull the poser-y faces we can while the person taking the photo shouts act natural! This is good because then at least if you look stupid in photos, you can pretend it was on purpose. (And I wont want to cry every time i see me doing the one eye open one eye shut face that keeps happening when people take photos of me - every time i see a camera EYES OPEN WIDE LORI just goes through my head.)

In the past couple of weeks I have:

- thrown a sucessful surprise party for gemma's birthday, where she was actually surprised and we made a tasty birthday cake
- celebrated gemma's birthday in customary style i.e. all weekend and into the bank holiday monday which was beautifully sunny and i spent in kelvingrove park on no sleep and lots of alcohol
- spent a lot of time in queens park with a book and fruit and no tights (hurrah for sunshine and a park less than 5 mins away)
- got a wee bit of a tan
- had my wisdom tooth come through, rather painfully and taken an awful lot of painkillers
- had bonkers dreams, all very sci-fi some relating to Dr Who, some just on space ships but with lots of running and being shot at
- applied for lots of jobs
- enjoyed houswifery, well mostly baking and made a soup too spicy to eat
- had a bbq at kevlingrove park and drank boozy smoothies
- got one of these guys
- got far too into dr who

Does anyone know any good wisdom teeth pain remedies, it is killing me here, i can't close my mouth properly!

- i seem to have been listening to the manics an awful lot this week, I even pulled out all my singles and was listening  to b-sides. It was lots of fun, esp as i was studying for my media law exam at the time ugggh

- speaking of my media law exam, that was horrible and painful and i wrote a lot of rubbish. I think I may of failed it but i never have a real idea  of how i have done in exams anyway.

- but it is my easter holidays now and I am off for two weeks (yes i know easter was a couple of weeks back but we now have static holidays or something) most of which I will be spending doing shorthand oh joy of joys.

- on a happier note, I have glastonbury tickets,  they seem to still be on sale so i probably didn't need to get up ridiculously early on sunday morning but i don't care I am just happy I have them and that I am going.  i have been bouncing around since i got them.

- I have been watching a lot of buffy recently i seem to be having a watch every episode in order thing, that should keep me occupied in my two weeks off!


- On friday I went to see son of rambo and it was excellent. beforehand we hung about at Norman's and got drunk and I attempted to watch torchwood in a room full of drunk people, and then I cried in front of a room full of drunk people. Oh dear! But then Son of Rambo was excellent and no-one else in the cinema was laughing, it was weird we were all gutting ourselves and no-one else was.

- On saturday I went ot wagamama for my dinner with my lovely mother and then we went to see holy fuck at stereo and it was amazing, I had a fantastic time and danced like crazy. the support were ace  but i can't remember their name, however there was a guy standing next to me actually shouting to his made and he kept saying 'HAVE YOU SEEN THE MIGHTY BOOSH' i wanted to smack him in the face quite a lot.

I had my first exam yesterday, I had to write for four hourse, my poor hand still hasn't qutie recovered and I have no idea how I have done at all,  it could of went ok but it could of been awful, i just wrote everything in my brain about the subjects. I am at a loss of what to do today because i have no studying to do and I am a bit drained of energy...
