Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah it's awesome, isn't it. I've been down a couple times when I'm just walking past or whatever. The traffic is an absolute nightmare though! I'm actively having to avoid George Square when I'm driving in town and when my gym/squash court is right next to it it makes things a bit difficult! The film is going to be called World War Z. ps. I didn't know you lived in Glasgow? Yeah it's cool, but disruptive. I don't know my way around Glasgow well and we ended up getting really confused trying to make our way to the shopping district cos every time we went down a street it was blocked off. I don't like when people moan though, how else do they expect films to get made? I don't live there, was just visiting. I'm from Fife. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2011 Just went to go see my nan at the old folks home, she's looking a lot better. Talked for about 20 minutes, at christmas she said hello then fell asleep so this was really good. Felt much better that I saw her before I left for the north Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2011 I don't live there, was just visiting. I'm from Fife. :p What a coincidence, so am I High five! What part? ------------------------- Anyway, a bit of relaxation, some good food and some much needed sleep (including afternoon naps) yesterday and today have come in handy in making me feel a lot less stressed and bringing me to a calm state. Still a little worried about the ol' ticker and definitely need to sort out an appointment with the doctors and also need to make a start on dissertation ideas for Uni but for the moment, everything is fine.

Posted August 24, 2011 My gearknob arrived today (well actually yesterday but I missed delivery). Fitted it. Looks great. Couldn't get the old one off though so resorted to the saw on my penknife. Oh well it was getting knackered anyway. (Too many silent k's in that sentence.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2011 Just met up with 3 friends who I hadn't seen since February 2010. Been too long. We used to be quite close in secondary school, but as it goes things sorta watered down when people left for uni. Was nice to see them again, though it also makes me realise just how slow I am in things haha. They have jobs, live somewhere, one is married and expecting her second child... Not that I want children but I do want a job and my own place. =P We agreed to try and meet up more regularly, just for a drink and a chat like we did today. Let's see if anything comes from that haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my old classmates lives in the house next door with her husband and two kids. It's slightly disturbing. I think video games have stunted our emotional growth.

Posted August 24, 2011 That's great. I too am starting university in a few weeks time. What are you majoring in? Classical philology, i.e. Latin and Ancient Greek. What about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2011 I did a course once over a couple weekends up in Kirkcaldy; not a place I'll be going back to in a hurry. I'd accuse you of being snobby, but you're from Glasgow: not a place I'll be going back to in a hurry. I'm kidding, of course: I'd go back to Glasgow anytime I wanted to get knifed or score some heroin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kidding, of course: I'd go back to Glasgow anytime I wanted to get knifed or score some heroin. There are far worse places in Scotland you could be going to... The centre Stirling, for instance, I personally think feels far more dangerous at night than the centre of Glasgow does. For the record, I actually feel very safe in the centre of Glasgow in the middle of the night. It's all lit up and there's a huge police presence. Stirling is the opposite. Always yobs about the place, people fighting, people fighting in the clubs week in week out. And before you say anything, I'm from bang inbetween Glasgow and Stirling so go to both regularly.

Posted August 25, 2011 BEST DAY EVER (yesterday) Went to tennents vital!! PIT TICKETS!!!! got to see freaking JIMMY EAT WORLD :D:D Eminem was awesome but by then i was physically destroyed and had to go sit side stage, still saw as much if not more than the people in the pit...! d12 were fucking awesome... Talking to the audience (hellooo ireland... put you hands up if you are motherfucking wasted!!!) and kaiser chiefs lead singer was so fun, running through the partition between pit and everyone else! Jimmy eat world just rocked my socks off. At this point there wasn't a huge amount of people so we had lots of space to bounce the fuck around like loonies.. dancing our socks off And I've never smelt so much weed in my entire life... they were obviously lenient on the searching!! My ears are still ringing and i've only had about 4 hours sleep since... but by fuck I had a GREAT time. <3 Oh yeah and my feet hurt like FUCK. Standing around for about 8 hours with arthritis in your joints ain't advisable!!! XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
