A grave blow to the head...
Here, in more detail than other entries, is my outline of the weekend. We start at Friday. Obviously to begin with we got up - we being me and Kirsty. To cut out all the obvious mundane stuff we set off north after rendezvousing with Vicki on the stairs. The journey was treacherous, having to dodge many unknown travellers and creatures stranded from the previous night, but eventually we made it to the mystical and wonderous place that is known as the Food Court.
Upon arrival we discovered that Simon was waiting for us - as planned. My companions may correct me, but to my knowledge we bought a small amount of food, devoured it and then set off once more. This time we headed west towards the transportation depot that would herald Kirsty's departure from the city. This would have occurred earlier and in the east, but the time of departure from the lodgings meant that we were too late to catch that particular...bus. Once at the depot we waited momentarily for the transport to arrive. Upon arrival, Kirsty boarded the transport and we bade her farewell.
The next part of the journey took me, Vicki and Simon uphill where we briefly parted; I to the building that deals with currency exchanges to give myself money using signed papers. I then left to meet the two others outside the lesser HMV. We then travelled up to the intriguing place known as, Forbidden Planet, wending our way through the perilous Market Street. Taking a short detour we found ourselves in a dangerous and tempting place whose name I do not recall, where our eyes feasted upon the delights of shining weaponry, mythical beasts and those which He himself surely wears. The legendary New Rocks.
Exerting huge effort we eventually manged to escape the building without severe casualties and hurried onwards to Forbidden Planet. It was at this stage in the excursion that the narrator took a grave blow to the head and so his speech capacity was damaged for some time. He then spent the rest of the time talking some strange local language where previous known words went straight out of the window. So, we got to Forbidden and ye gods we nearly wet ourselves with excitement. I spent the time looking through the posters whilst Vicki and Simon buggered off somewhere, Simon occassionally showing me an Anime dvd of some form. I eventually narrowed myfindings down to four posters - all Luis Royo - from a possible seven or so. I did only buy one, which is good.
We then left, having spent not a great deal and then accidentally got stuck in Cyberdog. Oh dear. Finally Vicki got two pairs of pants, for, twenty (20) pounds ladies and gentlemen! And I found a fantastic t-shirt which I had once seen in year 12 being worn by someone and I had thought, 'do want'* so I bought it. Going upstairs through the maze that is Afflecks we spent some time browsing, and looking at more posters. I found a perfect one for my mum though, which is good, seeing as it's her birthday very soon...anyway, it was - still is - a Simpson's one doing a take on an Edward Hopper painting**.
As our day progressed we ended up in the bigger HMV where a Catt pounced on us. We talked shortly and then she ran away. Me and Simon both bought some Anime; me - Ghost in the Shell boxed-set, Simon - She, the Ultimate Weapon. And then we dangerously went to Fopp, but I bought nothing. I don't think we went to Games Workshop, for once, but instead we left and went to mine for a short time, then Vicki went back downstairs and Simon went home. I then had the rest of the night to do some work.
The following day I awoke hardly refreshed at 9:30, giving me half an hour to d ogetting ready thins and get to work on time - which I pretty much managed, surprisingly. This was my last day and I was a bit miffed because 1. I would be leaving some nice people behind, and 2. I'd be leaving £200 a month behind. During my dinner break I got excited and went to Games Workshop and bought a basic marines set and some black spray. For dinner I went to Greggs***. Then at 6:30 I finished work, a whole half hour after I was supposed to do. During that extra half hour, I made the biggest balls-up on tannoy I believe has ever been achieved; I was trying to call a manager over to deal with something but managed to get several call-out phrases completely mixed up. This combined with the short amount of time you have on the thing and the fact that my brain had left itself in GW^, the ensuing phrase was something like this; "Can an assoc...memb...er, um, er staff, manage, erm, can a managerial, no er...er'umm, ohh'er, em, bleh'ma, man, agam, er, erm, e'b'm, um'em, bul'em'lm..." I was left extremely red in the face - or so it felt - and so crouched down behind the counter whilst my co-workers laughed at me and the person I was serving looked perplexed.
I then went home after raking in almost 5k, had some food of some sort and then managed to get a bit of work done whilst on msn to Kirsty and later on putting my new WH^^ together.
The sunday was mostly devoted to work, just as I'd told myself it would be, although I gave myself breaks ofc. At dinner time I met up with my good friend Kath for an hour. We wandered around a bit, went to Waterstones where I bought two new books - House of Chains by Steven Erikson and Scar Night by Alan Campbell - and then she went home, as did I. Then up until 7:30 I did more work and then went out for foods at Buffet Metro with Iain, Scott and Mark. Simon did not go because he was still in Edinburgh and had misjudged when he needed to get the train by. Silly boy. I got back in at 9:30 ish and spoke to Kirsty for a while on good ol' msn and then I had a nice relaxation.
That concludes my pretty damn busy weekend. And just for point's sake, my Crusader is pfa, as are my marines ^.^
Love, Milord.

Police
A short while ago me, Kirsty and Simon came back from the IMAX in Manchester after seeing I Am Legend.
Coming down the road I jumped over a building wall - that's the best way I can think of describing it - right next to an ambulance. Kirsty says, "Sam there's police in there." I reply, "It's an ambulance."
Silly girl.
That is all. Milord

Go to the loo, grab some food and a drink and sit comfortably...
Well, seeing as this is the first entry of the new year and also the first in about 3 weeks, so as you can imagine, it's going to be long. Hence the title...
Erm...let's see the 22nd, started with work 'till 6 - unless that was the day I did the extra hour - dunno. Oh, yes, it was. Anyway. Got home and the Ramshead's came down for tea - they live at the top of the garden and we've known them for many years. We ate and drank and got silly and told jokes - one involving a couple of cupboards*. Finally they left
on the morning of the 23rd. This day was kind of dull. I've deduced this because I can't remember what happened, so I'll say that I did course work.
Moving swiftly on to Christmas Eve - traditionally we see Martin and his family as it is his mother's birthday - this year was no exception. They didn't stay all that long, but nevermind. In the evening I had a Kirsty, a Simon, a Jonooo and a Laura over. We played Blockbuster, Who Wants to be a Millionnaire and Atmosfear - which was pretty terrible but amusing. Then we all **went to the Codds and ate more food than seems possible.
Oh, and then me and Kirsty exchanged Chrissy pressies. I got her a manga book of 500 different pictures which came with a cd, an Atlas - which she sorely needs - and a Russian Doll, which I know she really wanted. Kirsty got me: a book of chrismassy things with a likeness to lolcats, 'Ketchup on your Cornflakes'. Futurama Season 2, a 300 poster and a gothic girl poster, and a Luis Royo calendar! All awesome.
So, Christmas came! I opened some of my presents in the morning with my parents, and then the rest later on when the old people came round. I won't rattle off a long list of what I got, so I'll just put my main ones; climbing gear, a huge green lava lamp and a food box from parents :S The evening finished with the playing of games. Was fun.
Boxing day next? Yes. Grandma had stayed over and so the four of us went to Rawtenstall to get Kirsty and then drove down to Newark - or as Kirsty pronounced it, Ney-wark - to my Aunt and Uncle's place. Some more presents exchanged hands, my cousin was entertained and food was had. I demolished about 3 platefuls - properly full, not half-arsed attempts - and probably a plateful equivalent of peas =]
We then left the next day after watching Finding Nemo the day before and got home at about 2:30 - got to Kirsty's - on the day after the film. I'd been invited to go to Matthew History's birthday at Frankie and Benny's in Blackburn. Food wasn't great, but then I didn't expect 5-star shiz anyway.
The Friday I worked 5 - 9 - nothing exciting there then.
Saturday. Same but between 10 and 6.
Can't remember the 30th - obviously exciting day. Ok, so I've just gone and checked and I did actually do something - I went to the cinema with Martin. We do that a lot, but that isn't because we have nothing better to do. But anyway, we went to see I Am Legend in the Directors Auditorium and helped ourselves to couches. It was a good film with a 28 Days/Weeks Later-esque feel to it, though set in New York. I'd very much like to know how they managed to film the thing though, as the entirety of the city is devoid of people and jam-packed with lonely tail backs on the roads and generally in a back way - there are even lions and deer.
New Year's Eve consisted of me working yet again and Becky's NYEP. Originally I said I'd work 10 - 6, although more originally I was supposed to be working Boxing Day 10 - 4, but as you've just read, I was busy so had to change - to the displeasure of my bosses - so eventually negotiated NYE 10 - 6. The day came along but I found that I was actually doing 12 - 4 - I found this out on the Saturday or Friday, not on NYE, so it's not like I turned up two hours early. I got paid on Monday too - a whole £200 or so - and I treated myself to a Land Raider Crusader (which, for the heathens, is a Warhammer 40K tank)
Becky's made up for work by being awesome =D again. We drank, we ate, we got naked - well, at least partially - people's nipples were captured on camera - even some of the girls, but obviously the boys were not allowed to be present at those times. Tsk. So, after saying goodbye to several people and having looked after Lotta, beds were brought into being. I know at least Ben snored; true to form. I also got some more presents, well, off Chris anyway - an Official Games Workshop tape measure =]
Here's the first mention of the new year: we woke - don't look so shocked - and me and Kirsty packed up and left, taking Vicki and Simon with us - they went to their respective homes of course. I spent NYD at Kirsty's, as I did last year. We played HPSI again I think. Also, more food was had.
Wednesday yielded very little - probably consisting of doing work and then in the evening had good ol' quality family time.
We all went ice skating on Thursday, i.e. Me, Kirsty, Simon, Sammy, Matthew, Jess, Ben and Ellen. Much of the time was taken over to getting Ellen up and around, although I did glide off a few times to have a few untainted laps. Afterwards we went to ASDA as seems to be customary , and I got rice and beans - again. Twice. The same happened in the evening as happened the previous night.
On Friday me and mother took a short walk up Tod Old Road and back down the main road in the half-arsed snow, which was nice. Then spent the rest of the day doing very little - so basically the same as the before the previous day. Oh, no. Wait. I had work again.
And on Saturday. Although this time I found out whether I'd be staying on as a permanent employee or not. And I'm not. So I've got next Saturday and then that's it for the income.
Went home that night and then
I did very little Sunday, other than pack my uni things together really. All four of us - this includes Kirsty - drove into town and had an Indian at the Pink Garlic, t'was very good. So they left me where I am currently. I had the 'leftovers' for my tea
on Monday. On this day I had a project launch but that doesn't seem too diffcult really - it's not being started yet though as my portfolia hand-in is next Wednesday. Bugger.
Yesterday I had a seminar and that's it. Hehe. God I'm in uni a lot. Pfft. So I did more folio work, played on Portal, WENT TO GAMES WORKSHOP, obviously, to put together my Crusader. Kirsty went with also.
And finally, with a deep breath, today, which has been almost exactly like yesterday, except I didn't have to go into uni today. I still did becausee I needed to pick up my sketchbook from the Munich trip. More working, mor Portal, more modelling***. I got so thoroughly bored and/or annoyed with all of these things at one point that I went into the living room area thing to wait for the lottery results - of which I got no numbers. Rachel came in (she lives in my flat, obv. and is not the same Rachel as the Rachel in the entry from the 21st) and we chatted for ~30 minutes.
So that's it. Almost 3 weeks summed up in mind-rendingly uninteresting detail.
Love, Milord.
*If you want to hear about this then the best people to see are me or my dad.
**We being me and Kirsty, my mum and dad and the Ramsheads.
***Something interesting, although not in the least bit amusing, was that during the modelling, i managed to tip quite a lot of super glue onto my pants. I only noticed because my leg started to get hot and smoke. I thought I was on fire. My pants had glued to my leg. I spent the next hour getting the glue off me with a craft knife. Not fun. The glue set on the pants and that part has gone solid, so now my pants can actually physically break. Great.

Long time no see...
Once again my title works a couple of ways; first and probably the most obvious, is that I haven't written an entry for many long days even though I've been meaning to do for the past week. Second is that it's the Winter Solstice - which I thought deserved a mention.
So, that's basically it. Argh, there's so much to write about.
Hmm...just checked and the last post I did was about my birthday :s - done last Wednesday. So let's begin.
Well, on Friday I worked and I worked Saturday - as usual. Then...Kirsty stopped over and on Sunday I packed my things and came home. Oh yeah, on Saturday night we went to see the Golden Compass, which to be brutally honest sucked severely - they missed out what would be the last 20 minutes and even though it's quite amusing to begin with, the fact that Ian McKellen is the voice of Iorek Byrnison i.e. the polar bear does not suit a big fierce white bear.
And on Sunday - I believe - my parents took me down to Snow and Rock for me to choose some pretty fabby climbing gear. I even got 10% off ^_^
I can't believe I can't remember the past 4 days. Right, let's just skip Monday, something probably happened but obviously not worth remembering. So, Tuesday, I went into school after being surprised by Kirsty turning up at my house, got my art work - this being the main reason I went in - then met Rachel - being the secondary reason for going in - then saw other such people that still sadly reside in the Suxth Form* and the teachers too. Mr Archer was very pleased with his dry-stone wall.
Then Kirsty, Rachel and Jonooo came over as a whim - Mr Jonooo staying for tea. (And Kirsty obv.) Oh, and she stayed over.
Wednesday, oh yeah, I went into Manchester to pick up uni work - even though I believe that some of it is still there. Oh well, I'll get it another day - and then gotted the bus home. In th'evening fambly watched Die Hard 1, awesome.
Speech Night happened on Thursday. I continue to say that it was a load of do-ins except for the sole good reason that I got to see people again - especially Mr Ben. They had mince pies and other cakey things afterwards which was a plus point.
And now tonight is Friday. This doesn't mean that only this evening is Friday, but this evening does mean the JOON gig! Hurrah!
For a definition of deadication, I nearly got fired whilst trying to get tonight off work. So be nice to me please.
And that, once again, is a whole week wrapped up in a nutshell.
Bye for now - again.
Milord

So, Tuesday, I went into school after being surprised by Kirsty turning up at my house, got my art work - this being the main reason I went in - then met Rachel - being the secondary reason for going in - then saw other such people that still sadly reside in the Suxth Form* and the teachers too. Mr Archer was very pleased with his dry-stone wall.
Then Kirsty, Rachel and Jonooo came over as a whim - Mr Jonooo staying for tea. (And Kirsty obv.) Oh, and she stayed over.
Wednesday, oh yeah, I went into Manchester to pick up uni work - even though I believe that some of it is still there. Oh well, I'll get it another day - and then gotted the bus home. In th'evening fambly watched Die Hard 1, awesome.
Speech Night happened on Thursday. I continue to say that it was a load of do-ins except for the sole good reason that I got to see people again - especially Mr Ben. They had mince pies and other cakey things afterwards which was a plus point.
And now tonight is Friday. This doesn't mean that only this evening is Friday, but this evening does mean the JOON gig! Hurrah!
For a definition of deadication, I nearly got fired whilst trying to get tonight off work. So be nice to me please.
And that, once again, is a whole week wrapped up in a nutshell.
Bye for now - again.

Still Alive
My birthday went really quite successfully. No-one died certainly.
It was good to see some of my people again - especially Chris who I now see once every blue moon. The chinese was good as usual, with everyone eating all they could eat. Although saying that me and Simon, and probably the other boys could have carried on - my excuse being that I was going to a club and food and clubs do not go together well.
So I forked out £93.50 to pay by card - everyone else gave me £75, so it's fair.
Chris & Mr Becky and Eleanor & Tom left us outside Satan's because it wasn't worth them coming in for only an hour tops seeing as they had to get back to Bolton.
Bit miffed with the guys at Satan's as they didn't play any of our selected music :( except Prodigy simply because I badgered them to play some - so I had a nice little dirty rave ^_^
Hmm...that was, Tuesday...Wednesday then. Went to...climbing. Took Kirsty there. She was adamant that she couldn't do it and was like, "argh! I can't do it" but then at the end of the day when sensible people are tired and hungry, she had loved it so much that she wanted to back up!
So much for persuasion!
Then...erm...oh yeah, we had food then Kirsty went home. I came back a did work whilst having on Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Then even later on I had Monty Python and the Holy Grail on. It's lovely :D
I attempted to do an all-nighter, because I needed to really. I say attempted because it failed miserably, just as I suspected it might, and I fell asleep at 06:00 and woke up at 12:00 ish, I had a presentation at 13:00. Bugger. Strange thing is I could have sworn I fell asleep in my chair; but I woke up in bed :S
The presentation went well though and my model is fucking awesome despite what my tutor said - basically just a few questioinable elements and fairly shoddy modelling. Rubbish. Still, I didn't fail :D
I'm not off into town shortly with Simon to get christmas things for all you lucky people :)
I'll try to do a shorter post next time but don't hold your breath.
Love, Milord.

Birth Day
Well, I never thought I'd see this coming. Me, making a blog. I suppose it'll give me something relatively constructive to do rather than playing Tetris.
So, here I am, on the eve of my birthday and on the birth day of this blog*.
I'm actually fizzing, I think, whilst I sit here typing away due to the amount of caffeine coursing through me. Ok, so I pulled an all-nighter, but for good cause; I absolutely have to get this model for uni finished today, otherwise I'm in the shithouse, so to speak.
I'm quite excited about tomorrow, I think. Although the prospect of being officially a year older is kind of scary. I'm itching to open this silly card that I've got off Kirsty's mum, but I've been told I'm not allowed.
I think I'll go on to just lay out the basics of what's happened so far in the past week, otherwise I'll no doubt forget to do so later on.
Right, erm...I think I'll have to start from thursday since it's the only one I can clearly remember at the minute ¬_¬
This was the Marilyn Manson gig at G-MEX, now called Manchester Central just to be confusing, and was absolutely amazing! I could have done without the smokering people and the people throwing whatever it was in those paper cup jobbies...wooo dizzyness...but it was still great.
The support band was trrible with extremely bad lighting that seemed to hurt only my eyes. So along with the rubbish music, there were the lights, so I had to keep my eyes shut - these put together gave me only one option that my body quite happily launched itself at - sleep. Standing up it the middle of the crowd watching a terrible Norwegian band, I lapsed into sleep. ^_^
Go me.
Friday morning and Kirsty went home - i.e. University home - and I went back to my room to have a nap. I had two strange dreams in that half an hour nap; one in which my phone turned into a jelly-like substance and then into a resealable bag kind of affair, the other where a random and unknown Chinese girl turned up in my room and woke me up and said hi - this was very baffling because when I actually properly woke up I assumed she was still there and then got confused when she wasn't :S
Went into town with Vicki and Eleanor - to Aflecks and then the food court for din-dins where KFC was had - damn nice new burger :D
I then got the X46 to real home to have my driving test. As many of you know, this never happened as I somehow managed to slip over on the little lane up to my house and hurt my lower back, thus Tony told me that it was probably best that I didn't drive and should contact the DSA and tell them what had happened. I did so and they said to go to the doctors - I eventually ended up at the walk-in centre in Rochdale - and make sure that everything was ok and then send them a letter to tell them that I really was hurt and then they would reschedule my test for me. Which I thought was very kind.
Friday night I worked - whatever possessed me I don't know - and did so again on Saturday. Came home and started on this blasted model.
On Sunday I persuaded Vicki to come with into town and I spent a tidy amount on black mounting board to make the model all nice a sexy - which it now does - and bought me my canned sleep.
And, well, that's it. The last four days wrapped up in a large nutshell.
I'll try to be consistent with other posts. Don't know how posting over Christmas will be though.
Bye for now.
