Things that are rubbish:

- The monster cold I've had for the past two weeks. It really is the worst cold of all time. It is the cold of doom.
- Being sick sick sick on saturday night.
- Being worried about my mum.

Things that are good:

- Going to see Errors on friday at oran mor, I haven't seen them in ages and they were magic.
- I am going on holiday on friday, I am taking Andy for his birthday and he doesn't know where we are going yet so I can't say because he reads this.
- My new dresses, they are so slinky and wonderful and I'm well on my way to hitting my target weight so I am feeling quite fantastic.
- My haircut, its cute and having an acual haircut is so good after so long of having short hair thats grown out.
- Crumpets.

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.
