Am sitting in flat...very messy...having just got dressed to go out to meet alan and others from work. Much fun. 

Worked on essay today...went okish... Haven't quite decided how I am going to start it but I got lots of information and research..from...ACTUAL BOOKS!! not the internet!! something must be wrong with me...
This is the essay that is annoying me however...we have read lots of shakespeare this year...but in a different module we read Winters Tale...that I could actually talk about in this context...I can't decide which other plays to talk about!!!

Now...I am finding it rather weird that a number of my friends are all having similar dreams about killing people and being assasins etc etc...

I too have had these dreams for the past week. Much fun though...I kinda like being a secret agent in my dreams. 

random...

oh! I was such a girls yesterday, got a wedding magazine...alan laughed and thought it was stupid as we aren't getting married for a couple of years. But I said I wanted to be a girl. plus...a couple of years...meh...Haven't actually spoken to him properly in ages about when we actually want to get married. but I think 2010. lol...year I 'hopefully' graduate...and it is also the year he turns 30 (shhhhh) so i think graduation his 30th and a wedding in a year sounds fun!!! 

rite...need to go carry on getting ready...flat is a state..I was going to clean but got too involved in work (and assasins creed...god damn alan and the xbox)

The other day I ate the starburst snake heads. I have thrown the packet out now so I can't remember where they were from, I am pretty sure they were australian though. They were RUBBISH. I thought that maybe the heads would be full of runny goo, or something, but no, they are just plain old gummy sweets that are in the shape of unconvincing snakes. Didn't even help me get over my phobia at all, cause they didn't look like snakes. Oh well.

Another disappointment is Aldi coke. Not that it is particularly unusual, it's just that it is rubbish so I thought I would throw that in there and let you know. I also noticed that they sell Hershey's bars in 3 different flavours, which I am gonna have to try. I am told by most people that they are horrible, but that doesn't really put me off trying anything.

Kate got me some weird stuff from Tesco as well. "White Rabbit" sweets, which are crazy chinese sweets that have an edible rice paper inner wrapper. I'm not sure I like them, they have the taste of milk bottles but the consistency of.. I dunno, drumstick lollies or something. Maybe the rice paper put me off. [Edit: the internet says that these sweets contain minute traces of Formaldehyde, but it has been tested and is "not dangerous. WHAT?!]

Also 2 bars of "Grzeski", from Poland. One is hazelnut flavour which will probably be nice but I guess kinda 'normal', maybe a bit like kitkat sensations. But the other one is white chocolate and coconut cream, which I think will be amazing. I'll let you know.

Lastly, the Fuller's Honeydew I had the other day was AMAZING. Basically he bought it like 2 years ago now, and had past the expiry date. However, I think all this means is that it's had more time to ferment in the bottle? Anyway it tasted really good, so good that I might even go out and buy some to store in my wardrobe for a few years.

So Monday I ended up helping my friend  move most of his stuff from his old house into storage. I then went to work for 3 hrs, 30 mins of which I got paid to sit and eat with some of the students. Paid. To sit. And eat other people's food. AND it was really nice posh food. Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch?! Then I helped clean the friend's house in exchange for: The content of his freezer (which was a pretty good haul), a bottle of Fuller's Honeydew (which is fast becoming one of my favourite beers), 2 binliners of really expensive size 10 clothes, some cereal, and loads of crockery and cutlery. His insane housemates just left loads and loads of good stuff behind, they must be either super rich or super lazy.  Oh AND a bike. And misc other things. And I got to meet his girlfriend. Strange girl. Some people are shy to the point of being antisocial, it's not entirely uncommon. But she is shy to the point of being downright fucking rude, arrogant and offensive. 

Tuesday I got in at maybe 3am, sleep at 4am, and up at 8am. crazy. Then drove him to pick up his pc from the lockup (so he could store it in my flat which he thought would be a bit safer. Drove him around a bit more since he put a tenner of petrol in my car, and then came home to do a bit of cleaning etc. He ended up staying over the night here and then got a train home at 5am weds morning. Sad times. didn't get much sleep on Tues night either, though I TRIED.

Yesterday I sorted out my CV, applied for a couple of jobs, did a bit of housework, debated fixing a plug socket but I think I will read a book on it before doing that. Our rent contract expired a few days ago, and the wife had spotted a few bigger places that are the same amount of money per month, and with the same letting agent. So I called them up to see how I would go about transferring the lease over (ignoring the fact that it had expired) without having to pay another deposit (since they already have one from here) and secretly trying to avoid paying any more of their fees. Short answer is no, so I told her I'd call her back, and I didn't. I'll wait til they chase me before I pay them another £44 to sign a piece of paper, fucktards. Last night I went to the gym and watched the league of gentlemen. I'd never seen it before and think that it is possibly the funniest and weirdest thing ever. I also took half a nytol, thinking that it would let me sleep without knocking me out and fucking me up.

But I woke up today at 8.30 (cause I'd set my alarm) and I was absolutely FUCKED. So I went back to bed for a bit and for woken up 2 hours later by a call from an agency woman. A pretty bizarre conversation followed, in that I was still pretty drugged and she thought I was after a full time permanent HR job. So I set her straight after I realised what she was on about and she fobbed me off saying she might have some temp or part time work. Anyway I forwarded her my CV, whether or not she'll call back is a different story. I also applied for around 20 jobs today, now that I have a generic CV I can just fire it off to places with a covering letter. Some might call it spam.....

...I also cycled to tesco on the new bike. It is pretty weird. Guess I'll get used to it.

Decided to start a custom friends group for the gym so that I don't bore the arse off anyone with the minor details, comment if you're arsed.

(Probably only 1 person will be, but I think it would help if I wrote it down anyway)

"Did I mention Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy came by the Chicago show to hang out? What a nice guy. And, as a non-drinker, hugely amused by my progressively getting more smashed during my Friday night gig."
