Maaaaaaaan, 10 days without an update!?
How thoroughly shocking.
This will be a beast an update now, I'm sorry!

Read The Beast!!! )
Uhm...
So, yeah.
The quarter-life crisis is continuing.
I'm doing the grown-up things like job-hunting, but I'm also equally back-lashing by attempting to avoid as much responsibility as I can.
Tomorrow with my family should be... interesting.
Will doubtlessly update and shizzle~!

Also just realised that this is my 500th LJ entry!!!!!!
Whoooooooooop~!
Night night! ^_^

"Men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way..."

"But this is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted... that doesn't work either, because what happens then is, the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it? And when you say 'No, no, no, it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship', the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it.
Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends."


I love that film.
I also feel like I'm going through a quarter-life crisis.
I have been awake since 8, after too much rum, too much chess, four hours sleep, and have therefore lost a portion of my sanity.
This entry is garbage.

I might try to get on with the day. Is that possible?
Argh.
Shoot me?

I feel like I've been on an emotional roller-coaster for the past week.
Up and down and argh...
I feel like I'm back at college with epic amounts of stress over my assignments.
Which, I guess, technically I have.

When I hand my Dissertation in on Monday, I'm finished with university.
That's it.
Permanently.
Maybe I'm trying to avoid finishing it so I don't have to finish uni...?

I'm at 5100 words ... and only just started writing up my actual findings.
Which, I mean, is good as the suggested limit is 6000-ish, but... well, my actual findings is the main bit and should be nearer 2000 than 1000... so, basically, I've really really overwritten another section. >_>
Oooooooops!

Ah, well, it'll be fine, I'm sure.
Though, give me another five minutes and I might be crying my eyes out.
Or bouncing off the walls.

Stress + Bryony = Crazy crazy craaaaazy times.

OMFG, YES!
4001 words!!! This officially means I am over 2/3rds of the way there.
Wow.
Though this'll doubtlessly sound big headed, it's good stuff too!
I just need... more of it!

I think I might be able to have it done for Monday.
I hope! <_<';


In other news, I attended a movie premier today!
The Lady Of Shalott was aired at the Odeon, it looked absolutely wicked and it was really nice to see everyone together and having such a good time. What a project, man...!

Anyway, I am starving!
Foooooooood!

Procrastinating again~!

So, overview of recent days?
Tom came over again and stayed for the weekend, so we went to go see Star Trek!
T'was all really good fun, me, Chris, Tom, and Ses.
Miiiiixed feelings about the film, but that's just cos I'm a stuck up canon-obsessive. ^_^';
Uhm, went for a delicious meal at the Nosey Parker too! Dan 'n' Ollie joined us, leading to the usual fights between the two of them, and entertainment for everyone else!
Watched Yes Man after the meal - Jim Carrey is looking old! Celebrities aren't allowed to age!!!

Sunday was fun, we had another BBQ at the boys' + Ollie house!
I discovered Pineapple makes a damn fine steed, lofl!
Finished the night with movie films, made Ollie watch Eternal Sunshine, which she really liked, sooooo, whoop whoop!

Yesterday was utter madness!!!!!!
Think me and Ollie strayed into the sugar jar, cos, dude, were we hyper. >__>';
Took a thousand and one crazy photos, invaded Dan's bedroom, *cough* drank wine *cough*, fell off Dan's bed backwards, uhm...
Yeah, we were a bit hyper.
Fun times!!!

Oh, oh, oh!!!
And Chris bought me goats' cheese!!!!!
I'm actually addicted to that stuff!!!!

Anyway, er...
Today, my head is just a jumble.
Guess I'd best try to do some Dissertation work?

Today is undoubtably a day of epic fail for various reasons.

But, damn, I feel pretty. ^_^
*Vain vain vain*

Yeah, it's all gone kinda wrong today but I feel really happy.
Straaaaaaange...

Oh, and the back garden's wall got knocked down this morning!

Before I go to bed, I just really want to note this down before the feeling passes:

T'was my old, old, old best friend Sal's 21st the other day.
We were stupidly close and grew up together, before eventually drifting apart when I went to college.
Anyway, we got back in touch on Facebook, and even though we haven't talked much, it's just so nice to see how well she's doing...
Looked through her 21st birthday photos and she's got some great friends and her boyfriend made her a special cake and stuff!
It makes me sad we're no where near as close as we used to be, and I don't think that anything will ever change there now, but I feel so warm and fuzzy just to know she's happy and being looked after!

I hope she'll always be happy.

 
 
Feeling::: nostalgic

As I said in the title...

Here is my epic list of doom!!!
It's my 101 list that Ollie's also got on a roll, and maybe a few other peoples will too.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it!
I haven't put anything on there that I don't actually want to do - for example, I saw one person that said they wanted to try and spend 48 hours without any form of human contact. I mean, that to me is just insanity! People do that in prison as a form of punishment! >_>
Crazy fools...
Anyway, so, there it is.
I've made sure that if I don't finish any, I'll be donating money too, so either way it's win-win. ^_^

Ehm...
Seeing as I'm procrastinating once more, I'll update the millions of things that have happened in this last week and a bit.

Many A Tale Lies Beneath  )
Okies, I'm gonna procrastinate some more by grabbing a shower, sooooooooooo, buh-bye for now~!

All that panicking for nothing.
I got a 72 for my presentation - so, a top mark first. ^_^';

So silly.
Spent most of the night lying awake and considering how retarded I am. It's nice to have some confirmation that it's just me being sillyful!

Well, everyone was really nice at university and stuffs, nice to see peoples and had a good ole chat with Bev!
Messed around with Jodie, teased her about being a ginger like me (LOFL), which she didn't take kindly to as usual.
Hope we keep in contact when we all graduate, there's a lot of lovely people it would be a shame to lose contact with.

Anyway, I need to do a proper LJ update on here, lots has happened! >_>

But first I need lunch.
Ta ta for now~!

I'm so pissed off at myself!
I just can't 'get in the mood' to write up - no, to even finish off this presentation.
And now it's due to be presented tomorrow!
And even though I know I'll get it done and it will be to a quality, I am still so angry at myself for not having the self-frickin'-discipline to do it all already.
Arrrrrrrrgggggghhh.
Where did all my organisation and self-discipline go?
I find this so frustrating!

And now I'm just here procrastinating. -_-';

Right, I'm gonna get this presentation done, and I'm gonna like it, and I will not budge for a drink or food until at least half of the workload is done.

Edit:
Panic over.
I'm well over half-way through now and it looks sexy!
Just worried I'm gonna have too much to present now. Eeeep!

 
 
Feeling::: stressed

Me and Chris sanded down most of the bench in preparation for painting it today.
This makes me absurdly happy!

I can't wait for tomorrow, too!
Taking a trip to a stately home down in Cambridge with Nicky and Andy - it's gonna rock!
(So long as Andy and I don't freak Nicky and Chris out with our overly geekish love of history, that is. >_>)

All is good!
Squee~!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

So, I've just applied for the first real job I've ever applied for.
A Real Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be perfect if I could get it. It's the first rung of the cultural industry ladder, really.
It pays enough for me to happily live here, it's a lot of hours, but it's all stuff I'd enjoy.
It's a temporary contract... for two years! So perfect there too!
And it's with the County Council. Meaning, I'd have experience in the County Council - so everywhere else will take me a lot more seriously too.
Agh...
Wish me luck, please, guys!
*Fingers crossed*

I always forget to update after there's been a mass of activity!
So, Nikki did indeed come to stay for a couple of days at the start of last week, which was frikkin' amazing!!!
It's been waaaaaaaaay too long - two years actually - since we last saw each other, but we never really worry about it, cos we always connect straight away!
So, yeah, brought her to the boys' and it was nice to have everyone together before Pineapple dashed off up to Yorkshire and Ollie dashed off slightly further afield to America. We played lots of Rock Band 2 - so addictive!!!!!
Took her to my placement too, introduced her to Nick, and have hopefully secured the possibilty of her getting some real media work. Yorkshire isn't so good for opportunities in that sorta thing...
All in all, it was great to have her come to visit, and I hope she'll be back down again soon!
(Maybe even permanently!!!! *fingers crossed*)

So, um, yeah, now I've finished my placement. Wow!
But it's carrying on into a sorta actual work.
Chris has already been employed as a paid website developer by Pauline's brother-in-law, which is great, but led to a couple of problems with me and him.
Misunderstandings and unnecessary attitudes were hurtful, but we talked through them and stuff, so it's okies for the most part.
Anyway, now all I've got to do is my Dissertation and my report/display for my placement, sooooo, whoop~!
Can't believe how close I am to graduating. >_>

It's also been really nice getting to know some people even more than I already do, like Nikki, Helen, and in some respects the Hughes~!
But, well, that's always to be expected after a couple of bottles of very nice wine! 
Hehehe, seriously, though, I really appreciate how much my nearest 'n' dearest trust me and shizzle, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ^______^

Got loads of house-y stuff underway now, which also makes me warm and fuzzy!
Me and Chris have got paint and DIY stuff to redo the bench outside and the gates, which is gonna look really nice and make summer more enjoyable - I've always wanted to make more use of the garden, really, so it'll be a good start!
Had a really summer-y day in town with Sarah and Chris today, which was really nice, too!
It's about damn time. Stupid England!
All the daffodils are out and it feels nicer to be outside. Think the late night walks are gonna start up again soon. *Smile*

Ummmmmm, yeah, that's the major stuff, mmmhmm!
Just ploddin' along~!

As I haven't updated since last Wednesday - thanks to a sudden flurry of mental activity - here's a mass amount of words.
I am quite tired though, so it may be nought but jibberish!

Jibberish 'n' Tales Be Here )


EDIT:
Just got hold of the main cast and crew photo. Here's about 2/3rds of everyone involved in this weekend's shoot...
I look really little. ¬_¬';

And, as a final note, I dreamt about Seek last night~!
We went to the beach. ^____^

I'm gonna go have a bath...
See y'all~!
