For your enjoyment, or for you to laugh at how bad my wiriting is when I write between midnight and 4 am!!

 

My latest work of fiction! )

The Legend of Sir Oreo

In English we have been studying the medieval adaptations of the Greek Orpheus legend one of which is Sir Orfeo. Reading back upon my typing I realised that spell checker had been automatically changing Orfeo to Oreo. This made me laugh quite a bit - a legendary biscuit, who would have thought?!! So then I had to write it. My adaptation sticks closer to the original than Sir Orfeo (who goes into some silly romance with a happy ending!!) althogh like most adaptations I have added my own twist which is a social comment on how Maryland cookies are a big disappointment really :p

So here is the The Legend of Sir Oreo for your enjoyment:

Simply I would ask : Why?

That's all.

And damn wasn't the finale to Being Human good? Shame that Dollhouse isn't so amazing.

5.She trully is Bex in 20 years and I have had enough of Bex but unfortunately Bex isn't up this week.

7.The Ferienlager de Bex in Les Plans-sur-Bex, Switzerland can be contacted by phone +41 (0)24 4981455
8. Bex script was originally called bee script. Unfortunately, there seems to be another scripting language for java called BEE script.
9. And, finally, I called my go-to girl, Bex, to see if she could take me. Unfortunately, Bex had ended up with a scratched cornea and an eye patch.
10. Unfortunately, he's taken to muttering in the bathroom with Bex, and voting girls find bitching and backstabbing utterly abominable.</div>

Now you can all look forward to an exciting rally type post tomorrow when I'm hopefully feeling less ill.  Doctors first thing in the morning and hopefully he can cure me on the spot :p</div></div>

It seemed like a good idea at the time...

After weeks of wondering what exactly Twitter is and not actually being bothered to find out what it is I finally decided last night to investigate. Motivated by the large amount of cocktails (each with more alcohol than the recipe suggested in!) I also thought it would be a good idea to sign up. Thankfully it was quite an easy process - a few clicks here and there and I'd even managed to change the appearence of my profile. I'm still not entirely sure of the point of this whole Twitter but I guess all will become clear soon. If you're that interested you can follow me - my username is rocksolidhair.

Anywho back to the drunkeness which involved eating chinese and watching Death Note movies (still not as good as the Anime but L is hot :p) which for some reason we found really quite funny - especially the subtitles. They insisted on using the word surveilling, Misa claimed that she was going to play the 'man lead' in a film and silly newsreader from Sakura TV told her producer that she was 'getting off'. Oh dear......

I remember....

Nicked from Nat:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad -- BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

Today I learnt that, as women, if we are set upon by a man trying to rape us we should not run away as this will only lead to us falling into sin. 

An explanation ) 

In other news the snow has mostly gone :( but we did see two mounds of snow where our snowmen had been!!

So we have moved into the lovely 17 Chesshyre Street and after a day of cleaning by me and Maddy (Rebecca was being inducted into her new uni and Claire was travelling towards the lovely Swansea) whilst we were waiting for the non existstant Mr Virgin Media Man who apparently wasn't suposed to turn up so we ended up installing it ourself and all seems to be fine apart from the tv boxy thing doesn't work properly and whilst trying to sort it the phone cut out!!!

My room looks great and is amazing however the three flights of stairs may kill me soon!!!!! And my bed is like sleeping on a hammock. A hammock that creaks. As I got no sleep last night I can't pass opinion on its crappiness yet!! Tommorow I shall be sorting out why the history department don't reckon us joint honours students are important enough to be informed of module changes!!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic time at uni or wherever you may be!!!

 and for using saws, drills and very hot iron rods!!!!

Yup Pack Holiday again and another four days spent with twenty girls aged between 7 and 10!!! So we decided to let them do woodland crafts which involved sawing, drilling and hammering to create cute little woodland animals!!! Then they branded name plaques with hot iron rods. Then we put them down manholes and sent them along underground tunnels in the dark, pushed them off a high scaffold on nothing more than a wooden swing and down into a muddy pit so that they had to climb up a muddy bank using just a rope. But still they were alive so we sprung extra surprise inspections and gace them tricky crafts to do using superglue but still no harm was done. Then we sent them into the woods to find the complete alaphabet (yes me and Laura did hide 104 letters around the woods!!) and they all got eaten alive by midges (or later as told by a Brownie to her mother "we went to the woods and were bitten by midgets")!!! 

But don't worry - no Brownies were hurt in the making of this Pack Holiday (apart from midge bites and a wasp sting!!). However one brownie came very very close to death by strangulation from just about every leader there!!! She may look a sweet and innocent seven year old with her angelic blonde hair and cute name but underneath she is the spawn of the devil - causing mayhem wherever she went - from stealing someone's hairbrush, pushing people's clean washing up on the floor, throwing sweets around and causing a scene at 10.30 on the last night by yelling she didn't want to go to bed because she didn't like where she was sleeping and that mummy had told her to sleep next to so and so. Well how come she managed every other night? She was told under no circumstances could she move as she was already keeping people up and moving meant moving several other Brownies - two of which were asleep!!! In the end I told her to shut up and go to sleep! Consequently she is the only Brownie I've ever known in my 12 years experience of pack Holiday ever to get minus points on the Good Brownie Points Chart!

Race For Life

 Yesterday I completed the 5k route of the Race for Life in Swansea!!! Woooo!! Go me!!! And we were wearing pjs!! And to top it off I got a shiny medal, free bottle of water, bag of freebies and a breakfast for this morning all thrown in!!

We however did spend the day eating crap though - muffins (made by me :p), Joe's ice cream, rhyddings for tea (yummm) and pancakes (a nearly midnight snack - before midnight as the I had to go home at midnight as I am Cinderella and shall turn into a Pumpkin if I miss the last bus!!) and we went to Miah's indian restuarant the night before (my defence i that I have no plate, cutlery, kitchen stuff, in fact anything here so I have to eat out!!!).

But anyway thnaks to all those who sponsored me!!! :p

Moving on....

The sad time has come for me come home from Swansea (not that home isn't fantastic as well - Fern's sheep and cake were amazing :p) for the summer and I shall miss it. Last week I packed (the worst job ever - tiring and stressful so we went to Big tescos and Borders!!) and took 90% of my stuff home leaving the rest in boxes on my bed awaiting my return this week. And here I am. 

When I first arrived it was eerie my room was virtually empty but the boxes made it feel like there was something in it and various noises from around the block made it feel like I wasn't alone. But now after returning from dropping off my boxes in the new house, carrying out an examination of all the stuff we can see that need fixing (like the lack of bannister on the corner of the stairs right by the door to the bathroom that has an unexpected step out of it (you can see me falling down the stairs juts like Terry the handyman did when he was showing us around) and the light that doesnt work on my staircase leading to my attic room (again images of me falling come to mind!!), splashing around in the pool in LC2, dining in the yummy Miah's and Dr Whoing the place feels creepy and empty. The village is scarily quiet (normally it resembles New York - a place that never sleeps) there is nornamally some noise all the time but now there's none. The noises in my block have stopped. Of the nine in my block left this morning there are now only four (me and Jon and Ellie from next door and Dale's goldfish - his stuffs here but no sign of him!!) and my room is bare just me, my bag, my sleeping bag and Daisy the laptop and I don't like it much. I've been alone in the flat before but not whilst it's this empty :(

I shall mis the brilliantness that is Swansea and teh independence it provides - one week at home and I'm fed up of having rules to follow. And I'll miss my friends here (although I do miss all my friends at home and home when I'm here!!) So the ideal solution would to bring Swansea, my friends and the sswigs to home and all would be good :D

Now I'm off to snuggle down with a book or i player not sure which yet.

Criminals start young....

Yes the Brownies tried to rob a bank this evening :s. We took the Brownies on a walk along the sea front to the mumbles and Joe's Ice Cream Parour. Heather and Ali's (fellow sswigers) pack were all as good as gold whilst my pack whizzed off ahead on their heelies (pure evil things) causing me to have to run and catch them before they all drowned. Then whilst they were waiting for the promised ice creams to be purchased they decided to rob the bank!!! They began banging on the windows and laying with the cash machine. Grrr. After numerous attempts to take them away from the bank we resorted to ice cream privilage removal threats which worked.

In other news it's my birthday in like two days time :) Also finished my exams today (what an exausting 3 1/2 weeks!!!!) And more importantly DR Who.

The latest epsiode of this fine tv show has been eagerly awaited for a while as it is filmed partly in Swansea Library and partly in Brangwyn Hall (where the majority of my exams take place) So when I was eventually able to sit down and watch it on i player last night I was very excited to see the Tardis parked in the hall (yup the reception is actually Brangwyn Hall) and not just was it parked there it was parked right slap bang where I'd been sat yesterday morning so you can imagine where I was sat this morning :p Also was majorly distracted in the exam by the thought of 'David Tennant was stood here!!!'

I haven't posted in a while...

Although there isn't really much to report!!

Just two more exams to go (although everyone else in my flat and 90% of the SSWIGS have finished already :( ) Tragic Drama tomorrow which is on Oeidipus, Hamlet (or Flamlet after a slight typo!!) and Ghosts. And has prompted us to reform Freud's mother loving work thus resulting in a change of name from the Oeidipus complex to the Hamlet Complex. Oeidipus does not know that he is married and having sex with his mother - when he finds out he is so disgusted he rips his eyes out with pins :S. Hamlet on the otherhand is not just wanting to kill Claudius for revenge for his fathers murder but because he is jealous of him for marrying his mother thus fitting the Complex more accurately.
Then on Wednesday morning I have Transforming Fictions on Robinson Crusoe and Foe. Coetzee - the author of Foe only wrote the novel with lots twists and turns and new looks on the original Crusoe because he is a pretentous asshole who just wanted to win the Booker prize. 

Enough on my exams. For after they finish at 11 on Wednesday I intend to go straight to Joes Ice Cream parlour onto JCS (the student bar) then  to Brownies and back to the pub!!!! Then I'm home for the weekend to celebrate my birthday (very excited!!!) Then back to Swansea for a week of fun; exploring the Gower, the big tescos at Fforestfach and my birthday party. Where not only shall we enjoy a Chinese buffet but cocktails on Wind Street and a shniy new Oceana for us to play with!!!

That is about it... although I did just burn my finger and it hurts... a lot :( 

Because it's a tradition....

 So I should be revising but I seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession with Grey's Anatomy (especially Alex :p). Somehow watching someone's corrotted (again sp?? (what is wrong with me tonight??) artery explode seems more excting than revising changes in medical knowledge in Early Modern Britian, Corruption and disease in Oedipus and the whining asshole that is Robinson Crusoe.  

However me and Maddy did spend half the day in the library revisng and inend to (unless the weather brightens up so we can take our new picnic blanket to the park or beach to revise!!!) tomorrow as well. And actually made some progress in  Tragic Drama, especially Oedipus alhough we did realise that the notes for one of our lectures on Oedipus (we had three) are no use as our lecturer has managed to lecture for an hour on Aristotle when Oedipus was written by Sophocles!!!  To get over the shock we had to have lage coffee's from the Costa that is conveniantly situated in the middle of the library!!

After all our hard work we rewaeded ourselves with a  Chinese takeaway!!! Andflopped out in front of the TV (enjoying such shows as the Simpsons, something about families with 13 kids who want more (with some asshole guy who had had an arranged marriage and had procceded to make is wife pop out numerous kids whilst he's a patriarchal asshole who controls her completly and won;t even let her speak for herself. They just had kid 13 and he wants her to have another one despite the fact she's clearly way too ill after the first 13!!) and the news)
Then Grey's Anatomy came on and we suddenly realised our knowledge of said show, it's storylines, characters, actors, gossip etc far outstripped all knowledge of the subjects we are taking exams in!! Either I must resist the temptation or take an Exam in Grey's Anatomy!!!! (Well it could be described as Tragic Drama... :P) 

In oher news sod all has happened... still sat around waiting for my next exam whilst slowly going mad. However I am getting very excited about my birthday and party :P.. and rally :)

Woooo 1 down 3 to go.....

 Yay!!! Got my first exam over and done with this afternoon so am off to the pub later (which was organised over msn thus involving 8 conversations and me asking Michelle in Leicester if she wanted to come by mistake :P - Well Mike and Michelle are very similar names you see!!!) Was quiet a good exam - on English Language but for some reason when I was busy scribbling it was not my lecturer's voice in my head it was Ms Windo and Miss Harris - how random!!! Then some guys phone went off and he got chucked out although ranting in Chinese at the same timethsu distrating everyone!!!!

And I have a day of Guiding tomorrow - Brownies bowling at 11 - 12 (no not using the brownies as bowling balls or pins!!) then the rainbow fairy themed 21st birthday party straight afterwards!!! Right must find a wand..... hmm may be a card scissors and glue job.... and what about wings?
