How was your day?

[Paj!]

Yeah it does seem pretty "...". Plus I'm doing practical shizz at the same time so I'll have absorbed a fair amount from all my lessons.

[Raining_again]

I've had to go back to a wheat diet for a while, before my colonoscopy. (apparently the antibodies -or something- in colieac disease are only present when eating bad food, so you could be tested negative if you stayed on a wheat free diet) Its making me feel terrible. My poor tum. =( Everything seems to be rubbish these days.

 

I often wonder why im so cursed, when i get really depressed i starting wishing terrible things that i shouldn't be.. (like not being born yada yada) my mum took me home when I was born and I stopped breathing on a few occasions so really im rather blessed to be alive.. even if I don't feel like it right now.

Woah. Did you buy all these games just for the sake of a collection, or did you genuinely want all of them, to play? What percentage of them would you say is just downright bad games? And how many have you never even played for more than 5 minutes?

aw Han you're really going through the ringer! Big pretend internet hugs.

Same, how can you "kind of" have an orgy? Either you did or you didn't. If they just sat around flicking their own beans then I'm sorry, not really an orgy.

I concur, to a degree. Depends on what you consider an orgy though.

I spotted Bratz in there.

Back from a night out at Babylove, Oxford's most incestuous gay nightclub.

 

- Met the fabled "Alex Mullins" who Laura talks about all the time because he's "buff", gay and does French. Turns out he isn't buff. He introduced himself by "Are you John Hartwell, Laura Chollell's best friend?". First thing I thought was "Congratulations on getting both our surnames wrong...", second thought was "Yay, I'm known as her best friend!", third thought was "I'm bored of you already."

- Started a conversation with "I know you from Facebook stalking." Fail on my behalf. It was Alex Curran, who's friends with Razz. He's hotter than his Facebook lets on. Turns out he knows who I am, but I had no idea who he was, outside of Facebook stalking. He's nice.

- Realised I have too many people in my life called Alex, after having received a call from Alex asking me about the Zelda franchise (I recommended he get Zelda Spirit Tracks to relieve himself from exam revision, and he now loves it too much). Unfortunately, I know minimal about the games.

- Finally (re)introduced myself to a guy I always recognise from lectures. Turns out we met in Fresher's week, I forgot who he was, he remembers me. I've seen him ever since in lectures, and have had no idea who or why I recognise him. I was dancing right next to him, and there was obvious awkwardness, so I shook his hand, and he was like "We met ages ago." I felt stupid, and rude.

- Hung around with the cool crowd. I felt out of place, because I don't smoke and aren't from London and don't go to squat raves and don't do English/PhilThe/Languages (everyone cusses, smarts and shys away when I say I do maths), but they all seem to love me and actively include me, so I hung around. Being besties with Queen Bee James helps. This led me to meet this guy who I've never seen before, and who isn't necessarily hot, but he's one of those people I instantly find wildly attractive. I didn't catch his name, but we shook hands, and for the rest of the night we caught eyes. I was outside when he was leaving, and thanks to the alcohol I stopped him and asked him if he'd like to go for a drink sometime. He said yeah, and I got his number. I still don't know his name though, which is awkward. I'll text him tomorrow, after I analyse.

- Danced. Loved hearing Moloko and Kelis (twice), and Rihanna's Rude Boy, and Teeth by Lady Gaga (I loved the most). Towards the end, it began to thin out, and the only people left were literally the playable characters. The ones that have a story to tell. There were some obvious NPCs, but they were there to offer quests, so it was fine.

- My friend Michael was ridiculously drunk, so I had to hang around while we hauled him into a taxi (despite his college being a 3 minute walk away - lol). Then left, abruptly - in my drunkeness felt compelled.

- DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TOMORROW UNTIL 4PM. WIN.

 

NIGHT xxx.

 

 

tl;dr - Met fabled people. Met a wildly attractive guy, and got his number. Had a great time.

YEY!

That's fantasic Chair! I hope you guys hit it off, I love the whole catching eye contact thing, I've kind of developed my own rule about it. I catch eye contact with a guy who I find attractive, then I turn away and talk to my friends for a tiny bit, nothing too long you want him to keep looking. Then look back, catch eye contact again and smile. Hopefully if he smiles back then you know something is there. 9/10 times if he's interested after the smile as you turn back you might see out of the corner of your eye him walking towards you. This is when the fun starts.

 

In other more Fresh news I went shopping today, walked almost the entire length of Oxford Street (just a note; Chair you would LOVE Oxford Street, it's so you!) then back up to Sydney tower to go to Pitt Street Mall trying to find some nice clothes. Feel in love with a shirt in G-Star but it was $180 and there is no way I'm paying that but was very tempted. In the end got a shirt and a v-neck from Country Road which is very, very nice. All this is for Friday night when I'm meeting a very handsome guy for drinks. Sooo excited/nervous but will be fine at the time.

Yeah a lot of them were for the sake of the collection. There must be upwards of 80 that I havn't played at all. A lot of them are bad. Some are surprisingly good.

Driving test this morning, quite nervous. I'm still prone to stupid mistakes (especially reversing maneuvers).

Good luck buddy. Try and stay calm (impossible, but meh) (well it was impossible for me) and even if you fuck up as long as you correct yourself safely and efficiently you might squeeze through.

 

 

 

Unless it was a major.

 

(I took the wrong lane in a roundabout and was convinced I failzed, but I passed)

 

Anyway you'll be fine. You're a male.

Play them dammit!

 

I couldn't have a game and not played it, even a little bit.

[Serebii]

Well annoyed.

 

My friend's birthday is Friday so we're having a night out which he has dubbed as being "Golf themed fancy dress" to play on Pub Golf which he intends to totally disregar.

 

Went shopping today for some cheapass polo shirts and nowhere bar expensive places like TopMan have any in my size. It's like I'm being punished for not being an obese guy anymore.

 

I want to cry.

Cheers mate. It went really well in the end, passed with five minors. Though almost plonked it into the gate back at the test centre. xD Very small carpark and I wanted to get out asap.

 

At last I have use for this smiley.

Cheap golf stuff go to Sports Direct. I know its a chav shit hole, but dodge the Lonsdale and Donnay joggers and find the golf section. Some semi decent cheap stuff there, especially if you're only after something for one night. [if you already have ignore this message] :P

Have had a look and they don't cater to XS people like myself Thanks though. Will have to settle for a £20 Polo Shirt from Top Man. At least I'll have some style lol.

 

Oh and congrats

My laptop arrived today. Didn't realise how small it would make some websites look. I've had to change to the stretchable NE theme as the forum will be a tiny segment on the left if I kept to the standard.

Stretchable theme is the way forward no matter what your resolution is!

 

And congrats, Ramar. Great feeling to pass your test!

Congrats Ramar!

Going out in the car by yourself the first time feels mental.

[MoogleViper]

Was going to go into town with my friend to look for accommodation, but he had only just got out of bed. So I told him to come and meet me in town when he was ready as I was going to go into town with another mate. So we go into town. She books her appointment and then has to wait an hour before her interview (I have to wait for my friend). We decided to walk along the sea front and she asks me, "Do you get dolphins here?" "No I don't think so." (she'd already seen something but I didn't know) Then a minute later she says, "I think I just saw something in the water." "Yeah me too, I think it was just some flotsam or something." Then another minute later we definitely saw a fin. So we were watching and saw it a few more times getting closer. Then when it was really close (no more the 15m away) it jumped out of the water as the wave dropped, so we saw half of its body. Then we watched it for another 15 minutes but that was definitely the best sighting.

[Serebii]

Got my haircut now in preparation for Friday as it was so ridiculously long

 

However...I've now come to realise how much I look like Justin Bieber with it this short, although I don't have an american face :p. I best not forget my ID.

You think that's bad, try being XXS and size 26 trousers :p Topman is the only place that does stuff like that but they presume if you have a 26inch waist you also have no genitalia. Plus Topman is shit.

 

Congrats Ramar

 

Went for my interview. In fact, first I went to a nearby (ie 3 miles) shopping centre and walking there on a hot day in a suit was unpleasant. Tried to hand out some CVs but only one place would take it. Then went to the city where my interview was but got there early so wondered around. Feet aching as hell too!

 

Interview went okay. The assistant manager sat in to learn how to interview and she used to be in one of my classes. Said the fact I can't get there for 6:30 may be a disadvantage but we'll wait and see.

 

Isn't it fun to lie in interviews? "How long would you think of staying with the company?" "Well I have no big plans coming up so several years." Least I scored a free green tea.

Am getting there :s XS and 28 inch waist jeans are all getting a bit baggy on me. Ah remember the times when I was an XL with a 42" waist. The olden days :p At least everywhere catered for that
