I've just met, the coolest version of mr standing, ever!

He's Mr S.
times 1000!!! he's great, does the whole beard and funny dress sense bit perfectly, he's a philosopher and theologian (well how much cooler can you get!?) and his sirname is Mcgloughlan!!!!!!!!!!! (almost as good as Flannagan!)
Anyway, he's one of the lecture people, very cool but knows FAR too much, brain like a mountain. But theology is soo cool, my first assignment: THINK, thats it! sit and "reflect on lectures and texts then compile a 2000 word portfolio on thus" 2000 words, thats less than the history coursework essay!!! in a term, thats what i have to do, its so cool, i don't know why they don't just let us skip the whole GCSE, A-level bit and go straight to higher education, its SO much easier!
Sooo thats me done for today, i've thunk, homework done!
I went to the "multi-faith" meeting last night, turns out its just a cu (saves me some work!) but they did the whole multi-faith bit because they wanted to go all p.c. grrrr, darn that new labour! anyway, I'm not one for politics. Anyway, its not that bad actually, infact its quite good. AND i don't have to sneak around to get the band here, we actually got invited! & (bad idea on their part) i've got roped into leading some worship time, oh dear, return of the goose!

wow, there's more!

found another one last night, and this one isn't, ya' know, one of THEM. he's anglican, thats strange enough, but as neil would put it; "well, we'll forgive him"
hehe, (for anyone who reads this other than the "normal" people i'm really not anti-catholic, C of E, or any other denomination, honest!)
Anyway, before i put my master plan into action as to how to launch a new c u here, i'll have to gain the trust of the chaplain and the musicmaster, and to do that, i may have to become a choiristor. can you imagine that, me, singing faure's requiem, or handel's messiah!?!? actually, petra did a VERY cool version of the hallelujah chorus, maybe we could encorporate that, hhmmmm ~strokes his (rather pathetic excuse for a) beard~
anyway, so if i join, the idea is to lure them into a false sense of security, then get them to invite our "choir" ; ) to the college, and then just rock the place!!!!! wwooo!!!!
But that's a long way off, well things seems to be getting better, how about everyone else, what you up to?

wendy!

WOOO found one!
In the bar of all places, there i was sitting on my lonesome propping up the bar (oh yes, i'm a barfly!) when across the room i spyed someone else just as lonely, they hadn't spoken to anyone else so that rules out the possibility that they could be waiting for others, so over i goes, introduced myself (rather unlike me) and find out that she's one of "us".
For a first conversation it was rather deep, in about an hour and a half we talked about, ethics, morality, marriage, euthanasia, the "s" word : O !!!! also the discerning differences between catholicism and the rest of us, and we decided we couldn't really fathom what all the fuss was about, so i got in some theology practice for my first lecture today!
Wooo! God is so cool!

Uni-ness

Well, higher education isn't all its cracked up to be. well, at least not for me. Shall i start at the beginning of my saga?
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I'll begin......

Sunday, first day. got there about half twoish, and the first thing i did, sign three HUGE cheques for my room, i've never written away that much money, ever! and the worse part is, its not even my money. well now, after alot of faff lets see what all that money paid for...ground floor, ok well, at least there's no stairs to lug my belongings up. and i think thats where the positives stop. the room is awful, they've been doing the rest of them up, but apparently mine's the only floor that hasn't been done. oh, good news, new kitchen, oh bad news, its not ready yet, so for the remainder of the week i've had no kitchen, living off cheese spread sandwiches that i made in my room. Oh yea, more good news, my pc decided that it wanted to break, irreperably, on the day i got here. And to top it off, during this intercession, between cheque signing, and not the eveing "friend making" meal most people are getting the chance to talk to their neighbours, well, on my left, is an empty room, on my right, a store cupboard. Wow, i had some interesting conversations that day. After that was the meal, nobody spoke to me, they were all to busy talking to eachother and the new friends they had made, i tried a friendly "hello" but to no avail, apparently i was interupting a very private conversation.
Oooh, later, first night at the bar maybe make some new frinds there, maybe not. Plus all they sell is crappy lager, carlsberg, who wants that ?!?! give be a good ol' pint of hobgoblin any day. so i went back to my hovel.
And so the week progressed thus; some form of mind numbingly boring lecture about something i can't remember, waiting in ques, signing more cheques for amounts of money i can't afford, yada yada yada, YAAAAWN, nights in the bar straining at conversation with people, bed.
Don't get me wrong, there are people i talk to, but nobody i have anyting in common with, its all a bit weird, i guess i'm so used to having such close friends and now its back to square one, but i could never find any friends that would repalce you guys, and i'd never want to try either! but nobody seems to want to know me.
The people on my course are all day students so i'll see them in lectures but thats about it, grrr. oh and DOUBLE grrrrr because there's no cu, (God camp) "lack of interest" apparently how much does that suck, the one chance to meet like-minded people and no, its been repalced by a "multi-faith" meeting, the islamic society and the l.g.b.t. (look it up) society. i don't think so.
Anyway, thats that, so i have a plan, it may not come through, BUT if it does, who wants to come to our band's first major gig, here at college!!!???

aaahh memories .......

Well, where to begin?! this may be my last post for about a week or two so i thought i'd go all nostalgic on y'all, two years, the end of an era!!!!! oh man, i better hurry this up, coz (at the risk of sounding like a nonce) i think i might cry!!!! :'''(
These last two years, have been, TRULY excellent, i soo mean it. Most of you've heard me say how i used to be, little old me, quiet, shy, nobody wanted to know me, i didn't blame them, good for nothing waste of space. But then i met you guys, and honestly, you've changed me, so much, for the better. When i wanted to go to north, almost every person who i told laughed at me, saying it was a crap school and i'd be stupid to go there, but now i know why i did. You've been a Major influence in my life, you gave me the kick up the backside i needed and showed me what i was capable of. Who cares that in moving schools my grades suffered heavy losses (they used to be A's and A*'s!!!!) but that means nothing to me, compared to knowing that every day when i went to school there were at least three pretty ladies waiting to walk with me :-)!!(even if i was late!!!!!), some great people who'd always be happy to see me, a group of people that actually wanted to talk to me, some excellent friends who i could confide in and just be myself with. I'd never had that before, but i know, that as long as we remember eachother, i'll always have it.
I can't say thank you enough, just some random first memories of some of you, Gaz, well the whole larynx thing freaked me a little, but the hair, WOW!!!! i thought you were so cool. George, i remeber you apologising to me in advance for offending me and what i believe, on the first day, but as of yet i still don't think you have so it was completely unneccesary! oh and the rather long discussions, they were fun were'nt they?! i rememebr one where some upper sixth sociology students tried to join in. i guess we both learnt a lot then, well i know i did! Steffie, well i'd met you a little before, sorry my eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle, i think that was one of the first comments i rememeber from you! Dot, i'd seen you before couple of times too, but (correct me if i'm wrong) but do i remember wrestling laurie's water bottle off you in the sixth form centre some time in the first few days? strange i know, maybe not. hmmmm.
Charlene i remember biology homework that i didn't have a clue about, but just making up partially useful answers that i guessed, but more horrifying was the glitter spray, gaz that was you as well, and possibly james too, there were a couple of you holding me down in the corridor but i couldn't see, blinded by multicoloured,aerosol propelled shards of, stuff. Suzie, well hiding under the table, yes well, ~ahem!~ but also the first conversation we ever had at length, late at night, wandering in a field, in the dark, and the not so in depth chat we had on the way to school one morning, i think i said "hello" and thats about it!
jenny, i remember a happy smily, bouncy little thing on signing on day, who never seemed not to smile! Marni, (who didn't remember me from 1st school!!!!!!! Grrr!) hadn't changed much though, just more philosophical.
Laurie, well, she's laurie known her for years!!!! but she made sure you all spoke to me, thank you!!!!! and robyn, well i knew she was clever, but sitting next to her in physics, that was SCARILY clever. i'd be just starting a question as she'd finish the last one in a set of 10, moved on to the extension and wrote a theses on how to create energy from antimatter! but one fond memory still remains, the time when SHE asked ME to explain something to her that she didn't understand, but i did, SCORE!!!!
oh and rachel, (t'other one!!!!) very scary how she would meticulously plan more and more hideous ways of how to destroy the year nine and take over the world, i still have that history textbook, "How to create your own facist police state in just 10 ealy steps..." but what was weirder was how nice she was otherwise, but that sheep keyring thing, well, the less said the better!
And talking of rachels's, my rachel said how great you have all been to her too. She thinks you are excellent people, all the times you've talked to her, smiled at her, sometimes she's said you've been better friends to her than some of her other ones. she really apprecieates everyting, however small. and so do i.
You Guys, and Gals, have been the most excellent friends. Thank you, so much. Never forget me,
i love you all.
And never forget this: Jesus Loves You. You are all so special, and to God; You're perfect.
God bless. <><

Proverbs 18:24 (GNB)
Numbers 6:24-26

ITS HERE!!!

Saxamophone arrived today (yay!) looks very swish, despite me not actually liking the instrument that much, sounds silly, and too many sax solos take away from where a guitar would sound so much better! anyway, yea so i have it, all wrapped and ready to go. I've also spent all your moneys, so if she asks you've brought her the stand, a photo frame, and a HUGE box of chocolates (£12!!!!!!! £12 on chocolate!!!!!!) but it is rather posh stuff. oh, and the wrapping paper (99p) so thats that. All that remains is a card if you wish to purchase one, (get everyone to sign!!) but there's no change left in the kitty, i made sure of that, but i can put towards it if people can't afford one. anyway, just thought i'd inform you, and for ya'll who are coming to the party, the original "surprise" type plan, don't need it, i'm giving it her on monday. THANKS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!

And now you join us for our 50th post celebrations....!

wooo! 50, yay! yep folks thats right, according to the little number that comes up next to the number of posts on this blog, this should be number 50, the big 5 0, OOOooooOOOoo.
Anyway its been a while, and it may be a while again, i don't know when my computer at uni will be internetified therefore this will be my last week of posting for a bit maybe. well right, not much to say, umm, i feel like a song (hecklers:"well you don't look like one") hehe, pure hillarity, anyway:
~"if i leave here tomorroooow, would you still remember meeeee?....."~ well its actually sunday afternoon, so i guess its more ~"if i leave here inafewdaystimeeeee, would you still remember meeeeee?....."~
well would you?, i hope so, i wont forget you, i've packed the photo of us (well most of us) that mr A. took for us on the last day, so that will take a prize position on my dorm notice board, well have fun. See you tonights? BYEEEEEE!!!!! <><


BTW: i got rachel's pressie from you'all. does anybody want it and wrap it or shall i do it? there's still some change, it was about 25 squid so i have some change to play with, shalli give it to someone to get a card and stuff and maybe some other little things or shall i invest it into a gift of my own device? up to you, its your money and your present for her : D

Hope she likes it....

i got one, paid for it, and paid LOTS for it so she better do!
just asking: out of ya'll who want to, how much would you like to put towards a b-day pressent for rachel? because if some of us put together, i'm hoping, we'll be able to afford a stand for the sax she's getting! (from moi) But SSSSHHHHH, its a secret!

why are there three pieces of mouldy cantaloupe on my desk?

Beats me?!
Anyway, just to inform you all that this sunday evening 6:30pm mr me is speaking at church again, hopefully it will be more interesting than the guy at torquay, but there isn't much that isn't?! sorry, shouldn't be mean.
Anyway, ya'll welcome to come, i know gaz is keen, spread the word to suzie if she still can't read this, maybe i should have posted on 18, maybe i shall.....
