Jimbob Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Which part? You'll probably do fine in North Wales, but South Wales (especially Cardiff/Newport area) is scary and you can't understand anyone. I find the North more weird than the South, i can't understand them compared to the South.
chairdriver Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I got a hair cut. Quote from the outrageously gay hairdresser: "You'll be turning all the heads now." ---- Came home, to find my sister slowly tearing out her eyes because she only got £695 from SAAS, to last her the whole year. Feels really unfair, especially since my parents are giving her no spending money (paying for her rent though). And I'm screaming at the fact that I have the £200 I've saved, and £895 from SAAS, to last me a whole year. And then my younger sister won't entertain the idea of moving schools, despite the fact that the army's grant thing that my family used to get no longer applies to private day-schools, so now her school fees cost more than my sister's and mine uni fees put together. She's really clever, and it would be conceivable that she move schools, and be moved down to the year below (she's a September birthday so wouldn't be too old - incidentally it's her birthday today!) and get a scholarship, but she doesn't want to move schools, so it's like "...". And you can't really call her selfish, but it's just really annoying when my parents spend more money everyday on her schooling than they give to me, to survive upon. I hate money problems. Especially when we're in a really awkward situation, because we only own a proportion of our house (which is basically where all our money is), and the rest belongs to my mum's brothers, and they don't want to sell, because of the economic climate etc etc.
Happenstance Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I need a new hobby, something to do while im unemployed as im really bored and its driving me crazy. This weekend was spent helping look after my niece on Saturday and a bit of gardening Sunday. Then today ive just sat at the laptop or watched a movie.....I need something else to do which will really keep my attention.
ReZourceman Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Well we're back from Theme Fest, which was fucking awesome. Crazy goodness. I went to see Adventureland today (awesome) and it was my first day off work for two weeks. Win. Might paint lime green stripes down my car this week... Came home, to find my sister slowly tearing out her eyes because she only got £695 from SAAS, to last her the whole year. Feels really unfair, especially since my parents are giving her no spending money (paying for her rent though). Ouch, she'll have to get a job or something.... tbh.
MoogleViper Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I AM OFF TO WALES IN 5 DAYS AND I AM SCARED. I'll be heading there on the 26th.

Or is that not you?
jayseven Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 SO went to the hospital because my hearing aids are both basically dead. Turns out they forgot to process my details over a month ago, so I have to wait up to 3 weeks for an appointment, then another 3-6 weeks for a return to the world of teh hearing. Nice. Got my retake result today! Failed it. Got an email saying I need to come in to uni for a meeting to 'discuss my future options', when tehy told me before that I had none at all. So now I'm shitting myself with this self-aware false-hope shit. I also have to cancel my 7-hour shift on friday, which isn't good. And I might be a student again this year, which isn't good. Well, it is, but I don't want to even consider this a possibility then have this appointment where they go "oh, it's you? Lol, no. Go away," thus destroying any dreams I have as well as taking a very much needed day's work out of my pocket too. So my solution is to get very drunk today and curse teh world that little bit more.
Dragons_Slayer Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 My day was fine as always, did some pixel spriting for a game, and well... that's all actually :P
chairdriver Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Is this the sister who got money from the government and spent it on plastic surgery? Or is that not you? Yeah, that was my sister, but not the sister in question (I have 4).
martinist Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I've had the worst driving lesson ever. Mostly because i was being stupid and my instructor was in a shouting mood. >__<
Ganepark32 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 @ Coolness Bears - lol at your McDonalds shennanigans (sp?). I'm very tempted to do the drink thing myself although I haven't been to one in about a year or so. But I think I can stomach one just for that kind of amusement :p Although, knowing me, I'll get the grumpy prick who reports me to the manager and has me thrown out. ----------------- Another trip to the doctors this morning, like a few other NEers it appears. I left it to the doctor to remove the dressing on my leg as after 20 minutes of trying, I couldn't do it as it just proved too painful. And wouldn't you know it, he managed it easily. Have to go back tomorrow afternoon though to, as the doctor put it, have the leg formally dressed which I presume will turn out exactly as I've been doing. Also have to have some blood tests done. Can almost guarantee something will turn up that will be heartbreaking news as it always happens to me. Had first proper day at Uni. English, Psychology and Philosophy in a day is a lot to take in but the first two were more about sorting out tutorials and stuff. Philosophy is going to suck the life out of me or cause me to punch the lecturer though as I can see it irritating me with the constant over-reaching and unnecessary deep readings into simple things in Plato. It's a change anyway, especially as I'm in the first year Philosophy class as I didn't take it last year and it was the only module I could take to make up the numbers. Also bumped into the girl I like but never asked out before the summer and it was a rather awkward conversation; as if she was yearning me to ask her something. I'll see her again tomorrow for English so will see if she wants to go for coffee or something for a Summer catch-up.
nightwolf Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Today was abit crap, after a weekend of driving to and from Sheffield to help out a friend moving houses, so I was in a tired/grumpy mood to begin with, ended up getting everything wrong, which when it involves thousands of pounds is a bad idea. Ended up nearly crashing my car on the way home because I wasn't paying enough attention. Now I think I'm going to cry because I have no alcohol. OH woe is me.
jayseven Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Stuff about Leg Stuff about uni Hope your leg'll be alright after all this, dude. You seem to be doing what I wanted to do at uni! Curses to youuu.

WHY is your life always so damn bad? Is it? Its not bad, I come here to rant about the bad things. Why it bothers you I really don't know, but yes these things DO happen.
Sheikah Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 WHY is your life always so damn bad? Is it? I know...cheer up. Try have a positive outlook on life.

Well maybe that's just it :P Rant about the good things too! You appear on here as if you're emo. You're not emo irl. I know...cheer up. Try have a positive outlook on life. 'perspective'

Raining_again Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Yaaaay welcome back side effects! I have a sick pulling feeling in my stomach as if someone has a hook down my throat, and pulling upwards. And nausea. Blergh. I didn't eat much today which has (probably) caused a migraine. I'm so drugged up my brain is refusing to do things. I'm just sitting here feeling vague and urgh. =( (i'm so thankful this only happens 2 days a week)
weeyellowbloke Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 There is an incredible sunset right outside my window and I'm sat staring at it, once again nature beats TV in a straight battle. Back from a fun weekend staying with my girlfriend but I kind of feel that I should be up to more at the moment. Past few months I've been working flat out to complete my MSc and now I have jobs are thin on the ground so I've taken the obvious graduate route and signed on, so I just feel a bit....bored and aimless at the moment. Also back staying with my parents again, which makes me feel like the last five years never happened. On the plus side my dad has bought some amazing new decks to fulfill his retirement ambition of opening a funky smoothy stall to tour around festivals, so I've been playing about with them today trying some basic mixing. Really need to set up some headphones for it though.

Here's hoping you get one sooon!
Raining_again Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Aw, godammit you never seem to catch a break. Here's hoping you get one sooon! my own silly fault! I do however have icecream! Hagen Dazs chocolate. Omn nom nom I can feel myself getting better already =P
Eenuh Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 my own silly fault! I do however have icecream! Hagen Dazs chocolate. Omn nom nom I can feel myself getting better already =P Mmmmmm. Chocolate makes everything better, doesn't it? =P Hope you feel better soon RA!
Raining_again Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Mmmmmm. Chocolate makes everything better, doesn't it? =PHope you feel better soon RA! Its like happy in a tub! I think my body has just gone into a bit of shock, its not used to so many drugs. I'm hoping the methotrexate isn't interacting with the etanercept... You would hope specialists would know if they did =P Kinda putting my life in their hands, its a bit scary sometimes!

Eddage Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I pissed one of my fellow workers off today, didn't really do anything wrong though. I shall paint you a picture... (only with words, no paints included)... Her: Can we get changed Me: Yeah... it's not like you have to ask (said jokingly) Her: Well okay, but there are two lads sat right there (our staff room is also the changing room, but the changing area is completely surrounded by screens) Me: Well I'm eating my lunch and to be fair you girls do have a massive toilets you can change in if you're that bothered Her: Yeah, but this is the girls changing rooms Me: Well actually I think it's just the changing rooms, you know, for everyone... She then walked out in a strop to complain to the manager who in turn came in and told us to leave. Considering everything I said was in a obviously jokey manner it was one serious over reaction, time of the month I'm thinking... I said I was sorry and that I was only joking and she just said "yeah, you will be" in a really bitchy way Also FINALLY found out when I'm starting my foundation degree... next Wednesday! Gonna have to get stuff at the weekend, god knows what I need... pen, paper, folder, ummmmmm, fuck knows I've been out of education for too long!
