it was the joint birthday drink for Helen and Spex last night, and ohhhh what a night it was!!

 

I will not go into the details as there may be family members, or those who are in contact with my mother reading this, but there was lots of drunken debauchery, loud rude names, and strangely, a drunken game of road-rugby during which the ball was in fact someone's shoe

 

The highlight of the night (except the dirty lesbians in the academy) had to be the ace music in the Bay!! haha we turned up and there was an empty dancefloor, and the theme tune from the A team playing - needless to say, we quickly monopolised the dancing space, and boogied to the likes of 'ive got a brand new combime harvester' and the theme from teenage mutant ninja turtles!! haha heroes in a half shell - turtle power!!!!!

 

I gave blood for the first time today, and despite my fears that i may faint and bang my head on a nearby brick and  suffer a brain hemmorrage and die, it went very well, and i neither fainted nor died (luckily)

i did get two cups of orange squash, and a penguin though, and two lay downs, coz i came over all queer and went a bit pale apparently, so got to lay back down, when i saw a girl who had actually fainted being hauled across the floor by one nurse, who was half the size of this girl, and i was quite impressed when the nurse managed to haul the girl up onto a bed as well as having dragged her across the room in the style of a caveman dragging his cave-bitch back to his cave-house

 

I do not know what my blood type is yet, but upon the guesswork of jenni, i picked up an 'o-' keyring, but i am too scared to put it on my keys, in case im in some horrendous accident, and the medical team trust that i have the right keyring, and pump me full of o- blood, when in fact im not really that type, and the two conflicting blood cells will get into a fight of stupendous proportions, and i implode.

 

 

 

 

well ive spent a total of 14 hours standing / sitting / laying in a field watching rugby over this weekend! It was the Aber 7s tournament, and i was part of the 'twelve monkeys' entourage, and after sunburning my head, my face and my chest, they got through to the semi finals where they lost to a team who cheated dreadfully, so i reckon that counts as a win for us!! They cheated by having a pro rugby player play in their amateur team - not so bad you may think, but when you put a pro on a field of guys who have never played 7s before then the difference in talent becomes apparent rather quickly!!

 

picture a nice desert scene in deepest africa, with a herd of rhinos standing around, with a gazelle leaping through the middle, kicking them in the face (Chris's jaw will never be the same again!) holding the ball aloft over its head, just out of reach of the rhinos, and running like buggery around the plain; if you can imagine that, then you can imagine what the semi final of this rugby 7s thingy looked like!! never mind, we screamed ourselves hoarse nevertheless, and 'oooooo'd' and 'ahhhhhh'd' every time someone got a ball/fist/hoof to the face!

 

Fight count = 1 (powelly kicking off against some guy from the 'rheidol steamers' causing the ref to call off the already violent match in exasperation)

 

Comedic accident count = 1 (chris stamping on his own leg in the style of a dog, when it bites its own tail believing it to be the tail of another dog)

 

Ice cream count = 1 (after we flagged down an ice cream van and made him stop for us! i had a 'festival' after i got over the shock, as back in the day they were called 'feast' i almost didnt get one out of protest at the stupid name change, but i gave in in the end, fickle old me)

 

I am now employing all my willpower to try and rid myself of this sunburn before the weekend (its ages away, and plenty of time for the burn to go away you may think, but my body conspires to ruin my life quite regularly, so knowing my luck, my face will start to peel or something equally horrendous on the day of the may ball) 

 

I am battling with my stupidity this week, to try and work out how to pre register myself for the third year of my course, whilst trying to read the book my essay has to be written on, oh, and i have to actually write the essay by this friday - good luck me!!

'lo it is the easter holdiays at last, and it as boring as i foresaw!

 

my week so far has consisted of me sitting on my arse, alternating between E4 and living TV!! i have become unhealthily obsessed with 'beauty and the geek' 'average joe:the joes strike back' and my old obsession with 'americas next top model' has been rekindled!!!

beauty and the geek -  its about a group of so-called geeks (in reality, only half of them are what i would classify as a geek, the other half are simply intelligent!) and they get paired up with a group of air head strippers/hairdressers and they program entails the hilarity that follows these mismatched pairs. Compelling becuase you hate the women for being so beautiful, and you find a strange affection for geeks being kindled in your hearts, at which point you turn over for 'average joe'!

 

how long will it take for the bloody stupid girl to realise that the models may be pretty, but they are soooo vain, whereas the joes are really quite sweet!! once again, the woman featured is unattainably beautiful - as are the ones in 'americas next top model' so I await my return to Aberystwyth, which will thrust me back into the realms of normal looking women with more than 5% body fat!!!!

 

as you can tell, my holiday so far has revolved around the sky box! as the second week of holiday starts, i may endeavour to drag myself out of the house and show my pasty legs some sunlight, which i will hope in vain will go brown, but i know they will go red, and that will lead me to spend the third week of my holidays inside, hiding my sunburn from any extra UV light, which will again mean i will be worshipping the TV, with its make over shows, and abundance of Wade Robson!! (hes been sheared now, and with his baldy head, is looking increasingly like Shayne Ward of XFactor fame!)

 

 

well ive finished my portfolio at last, and im fully expecting it to turn out to be a steaming pile of turd, but ive gone past the point of caring right now - im just glad to have gotten it done!!

 

i went to see a scary film at the union last night called 'the exorcism of mary rose' and im pretty sure it would have been really good if the screen wasnt too dark to make out the detail ... and if there wasnt annoying subtitles on ... and if i wasnt in a god awful plastic chair ... the list goes on! It was an ok film though - one of those ones that scares the shit out of you in the cinema, but when you convice your friends/family to rent it when it comes out, is thoroughly disappointing, leading them to believe you are insane for being scared of such a lame film!!!

 

well its easter next week, and im prepared for it to be the most boring 3 weeks of my young life so far! i will be bumming around doing nothing (which is basically what i do in uni, buts its funner doing nothing here than at home!) and i cant even have my old job back, becuase there has been an influx of polish people to Bridgend, and they have taken my damn job! ohh if only i was prepared to work for £1.50 an hour i could have my job back!

 

i suppose i have the magical weekend of easter to look forward to, not the easter when jesus came back to life, but the joke-easter where we get to gourge ourselves on eggs made of second rate chocolate!

 

 

 

 

in my many hours of essay avoidance, one unanswered question (maybe unanswerable) has kept popping up in my mind - and it goes as follows:

 

i have a candle in a glass bowl that i burn, and the wax cant go anywhere, as its all contained in this bowl, yet there is hardly any of it left - the wick is nearly at the bottom of the dish. now here is my connundrum - does wax evaporate? it couldnt have escaped any other way - if it has evaporated, is there little particles of wax floating around in the air? if there is, surely that cant be healthy!

 

you can tell ive been bored senseless! if you have any ideas about this mysterious disappearing wax, id be more than glad to hear them!

hey! It is truly indicitive of my childish mind, that Ive spent the last 3 days since i bought this fruit juice, staring at the segment of tangerine in the top left corner of the carton! Anyone else think it looks slightly less than innocent??
