Tales about Uni Life

Oh Dear!

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 22:49:02 +0200

I didn't last long! Only a pathetic two days!
Shit man! Really annoyed that i caved in and ate shit loads of biscuits.
I blame work - that place will be the death of me. I had a really crap shift and ended up feeling pretty mad when i got back and decided i'd eat gallons of refined sugar. Really need to stop this! I'm skinny now but how long will that last?!?!
Work was a load of crap! I sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with me? I am a nice and charming girl but people don't leave me the hell alone. I am a writer. I am naturally introverted. I love being around people and I love my friends but I also enjoy having the odd moment to myself on the rare occasion.
I was just getting on with my shift, trying to work hard but then as usual, just because i wasn't screaming my ass off and showing off people immediately think there is something wrong with me.
I get told to smile all the time by people who look equally as miserable, soemtimes by people who barely even talk to me and i'd never smile at them anyway! For all they bloody know my dog could have died or something. Everyone else is allowed to have a straight faced expression and nobody points it out, but when it's me, people are ever so keen to point the finger at me!

Work, pah! - to thin i usually enjoy working there!

Get away sugar!!!!

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 10:03:13 +0200

So it turns out that sugar is way bad far us. It is one of the main causes of aging in the body, it rots our teeth, makes us fat and leads to all sorts of serious diseases (diabetes and cancer to name a couple).
So here is my goal! I will cut sugar out of my diet. I did so yesterday actually (which is particularly difficult during pms by the way). I must be an addict, i was thirsty all day, dying for something sweet and a little bit shaky at one point. It's scary that most of us in western society are so obsessed with sugar, its in lmost everything we eat.

So my diet from now on:

lots of veg
small amount of fruit (even the sugars in fruit can be bad apparently)
fibrefull food
carbs such as potatoes, brown rice, brown pasta etc
Oily fish
lots of water

And absolutely no:
Refined sugar
So no cakes, biscuits, chocolate, icecream - its all off the menu until i get rid of my addiction.
Alcohol (this will be difficult)
less caffiene if possible
fizzy drinks

I am going to check everything i eat and if it contains sugars i will avoid,

A perfect balance?

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:17:18 +0200

I woke up this morning feeling relaxed.
My bed was warm and safe and beside me was the man I love, his arm curled around me. When he left my pms kicked in to overdrive and negative thoughts have been swimming through my mind abot my relationship. I get so worried that i'm too attached and that one day the whole thing will crash and burn. I suppose we all do. I'm not a needy girlfriend, I have always been my own woman with my own goals and my own friends, but i've never given myself to anybody this way before and it's scaring the living daylights out of me.
My question is this? Is it possible for a woman in love to just accept that things may go wrong and just get on with her relationship without worrying about it? Or do we all worry sometimes when we're feeling alone and fragile?

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:12:57 +0200

Absolutely brilliant!
I have enjoyed the four previous films (particularly the fourth) but I always left the cinema feeling that there was something missing, something forced about the acting and something about the films that didn't capture the magic and brilliance of the books.
This film had my heart racing all the way through it, I was smiling, laughing, crying and terrified all at once. This film captured what the books were all about and I would say for once that the film was as good as the book.
I particularly loved the way they captured Umbridge, she was everything that I imagined when I read the book. I loved the ending too, it was extremely impressive with the death eaters in black smoke and the aurors in white. I think that the previous films all had parts that were specifically for us fans and not so relevant to the story, but that this film flowed a lot better and went from exciting to more exciting with every frame. Well done Yates, finally a true Harry Potter fan is directing the films. Could not have been better! :-) I'm so happi!

Hangovers = Unhappy me

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 10:07:56 +0200

I went out for a meal with my boyfriend last night and ended up drinking two large glasses of wine and three large cocktails. Hmm, as i have not drunk much more than glass of alcohol a night in weeks, this was not a good idea. I don't remember going to sleep, I don't remember anything and it scares me. I think that the only option I have is to stop drinking, as the side affects are just not good. I forget everything, whcih is dangerous when im on my own at the end of the night, i get ridiculously hungover, spend a fortune that i dont have, and get emotional over everything!

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 23:47:31 +0200

I'm pooped after working all night.
My eyes are red and itchy, my feet feel like flat and painful pancakes and im walking like an ogre. This is not the look i want, thankgoodness im on my own. However, my boyfriend will end up seeing me like this tomorrow boo! I hate working late, i much prefer going home early and teasing the others that i get to go and they don't hehe.
I have been very good today, i ate all five portions of fruit and veg. Just need to start exercising more regularly.

A short bit of writing --

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 08:29:05 +0200

I enjoy writing, I always have, so im thinking i might post some of my writing on my blog... This is something i wrote when i was much younger, a sketchy prologue maybe...

George Harding stared at the black figure before him. So this was death, he thought. He had always imagined it to be more terrifying. Instead, he couldn’t decide whether to be frightened or just be deeply in awe.
The spectre was as silent as a grave, he stood tall and decidedly grim. He wore a black cloak made from a sort of dark essence, and his aroma was a malevolent yet magical.
Even though George was about to die, he still felt incredibly awkward, staring up at this famously dark being. Thoughts flashed through his mind such as, how is my wife going to cope? What will happen to the business now? and Oh my god! Who will feed my cat? But these thoughts seemed of little importance now that he was about to leave them all behind. It was just as well too, because George had many regrets in his life, and the last thing he wanted to do was bring up all those memolries again. In fact, he suddenly felt desperate to get this over with.
George had just opened his mouth to hurry the dark spectre on, when suddenly, the reaper spoke.
“Quaint little street you have here,” he said.
George shrugged, quite taken back, “Yes, it’s rather pretty, we have a terrific neighbourhood watch programme. and...”
“Wow terrific,” the reaper butted in, his tone somewhat unimpressed. “Listen, I’ve got a confession to make,” he continued, straightening his long, black cloak.
George frowned, “Hmm, yes I suppose you want my soul don’t you?”
To George’s surprise, the deathly spectre shook his head.
“No,” he said, sounding a little embarrased, “i’m actually lost and you’re the person who can point me in the right direction.”
George heaved a sigh of relief and then in an instant he became highly suspicious, “You’re not messing with my head are you?” he asked unsurely.
The Reaper laughed, “No George i’m not. Trust me, if I was coming for your soul i’d have the demons with me. Afterall, you haven’t been the most benevolent guy around have you?”
George shuddered, feeling guilty, perhaps death would be a better fate than living with so many regrets.
The spectre seemed to notice George’s sudden distress, “Don’t worry,” he said, trying to be comforting, “with a diet such as yours I doubt you’ll have long left.”
“Gee, thanks for that,” George scowled.
“You have a son right?” The reaper asked, pulling George closer towards the tall hedges, so nobody could see them.
George stared at the spectre, suddenly feeling a little sick, “No,” he said, looking away.
The reaper sighed, “Ah come on,” he groaned, “I know you do, and I know you gave him away...” he paused a moment while George hung his head in shame, then he continued, “but I can’t find him, I don’t have his name.”
George’s usually handsome yet aging face had turned a sour milk colour, shivers rushed down his spine like an electric current. He took a few steps back but the Reaper held out his scithe threatingly.
The reaper looked impatient now, “George,” he said seriously, “what is your son’s name?”

Britain's Next Top Model

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:56:52 +0200

What do we think of this?
It is so different from the American version; in a way it's sort of embarrasing. That Louise girl is really getting on my nerves, she's so bloody abrupt, it's irritating! I like the girl from Manchester though, although i might be a little biased hehe. In comparison to some of the other girls her northern accent seems a little less poignant but at the end of the day her photos are pretty good, and I think its cool thats shes opened up about how she used to take drugs etc. Quite liking the programme but its not as exciting as the American version, though definitely just as byotchy! I couldn't really understand why some of the girls were so terrified about getting their hair cut, obviously the designers knew what they were doing, and the whole point of being a model is that you change your look to suit what the designers want.
Hehe the girl with th gap tooth really bugs me, i think its the teeth hehe. Anyways I want Natalie to win hehe.

Well anyway the programme is a bit of excitement before the harry potter film and book - oh and mario party wii are released! :-D

Biscuits = Evil

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:46:17 +0200

Seriously, i have eaten two and a half packets of biscuits in like three days. This is unhealthy! It's always the same, I get to this point of the month and I eat shit loads of crap and then feel ridiculously guilty about it and then go out and buy shit loads of fruit, which im still not in the mood to eat. And i've been drinking most nights, I get so wound up at work sometimes that I have to have a glass of wine to chill me out at the moment. Really need to join a gym and start exercising. My plan is to get up and go to the gym early in the morning so that im set up for the day. And on days where im free my plan is to go swimming alot too and really burn off the calories!

Cocktails in Manchester mmmm!

Sat, 05 May 2007 12:01:48 +0200

I went out last night with the boyfriend and some friends. I love his work friends, they are so down to earth and it's always a nice escape from home, which is a place I spend too much time. I love sharing a house with friends but we've had our share of problems, which I guess is the case with all students living together. Was so funny, had my fair share of sex on the beachs and took it upon myself to play match maker and find a friend a guy. We found a couple of 'interesting' specimens but we soon found them to be taken. Hmm are there any single men in existance in Manchester???? We will return to finding my friend a bloke on friday!

Got work today! Can't be bothered, house mates are having a barbecue and watching the manu and city match. I get to miss the sunshine again! Hurrah!

Safe!

Sat, 05 May 2007 09:53:22 +0200

Ah...so not actually having a baby yay! By the time i'd actually taken the test I was convinced I was pregnant and planning my new life! I barely contributed at work, really couldn't be bothered, had been so wound up this week that I thought i'd chill out and do as little as possible hehe.

Anyways yesterday only like six of us turned up for our lecture (what a surprise!) It turned out some brain dead teenagers had broken into school, trekked up three flights of knackering stairs only to destroy all our computers, projectors, tvs and white boards at uni, what a joke! Then they were caught cos there was cctv cameras, seriously people in manchester need to get hobbies!
Turned out okay for us, our lecturer said we could go for coffee and come back in 2 hours when a room was available. Me and the girls sat in a quaint lil coffee shop and i got a hot chocolate with marshmalllows and cream mmmmmmm! It was delish! Talked about boys, the crapness of our course and recent benders, was pretty nice cos i don't get many opportunities to sit and chat with some of the girls on the course.

A bump?

Wed, 02 May 2007 12:21:43 +0200

Lately i've been extremely snappy, tired and bloated and it dawned on me this morning that....Oh my God! I'm pregnant! Hmm well i certainly could be, we haven't been fantastic with contraception these days. I feel scared, I don't want a baby. well certainly not at the moment! Am going to buy a test on the way to work and if i am i will have to get an abortion. I'm completely against them but ill end up detatching myself from the situation and pretending its not happening until the problem goes away. I've been so all over the place this week! Me and the bf have been arguing over tiny, stupid things that are completely irrelevent! Will be fantastic if i'm not! Will be happy!
I've got work at 2pm today (Yay!) Can't wait to go home for the summer now, enough with the work! Enough with uni and essays!
I had a dream I was home last night, a giant tiger was in our house and i tried to tame it. The tiger wasnt having any of it! It chased my mum and dad and they hugged as if saying goodbye to each other. It was really scary...glad it was a dream. It probably has something to do with recently reading the life of pi.
