Ok, so after waiting aaaaaaages, I've finally seen me new lil cousin, he's now about 9 weeks old and he's massive. He ain't half gonna be tall when he's older. Also William has grown sooooooo much since I last saw him (which was before Christmas). He's got such an amazing personality and is just one of the sweetest lil kids EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really can't wait till I get to see the both of them again.
Back in Abingdon I gotta hang out with cloud for the evening which was ultra-great since I haven't seen her in what feels like an age. I haven't really been over to her place much since she started dating Gaz, since I always felt kinda odd bout it. I really wanna spend as much time with her as I can now though since when I head off to uni I'm not going to see her for months on end. = (

it's only been 2 years......................
24/08/07
Ok, so I'm just gonna say that I owe facebook an enormous thanx sop THANKYOU.. I mean, I spent a large amount of this evening just chattin to two people from fitz that I'd totally lost touch with for over 2 years. The first of them was Andy Phelan, who somehow seemed to have no only found me, but invited me as a friend. I was never amazingly close to Andy, but we were always kinda mates, we go ton with each other, and no matter how much of a cow I was to him at times he never picked on me or went out of his way to put me down. Seems like some Major stuff has been going on in his life since I last saw him (at out leavers ball), but he still seems to be doing great. Then, I was lookin through Andy's face book mates, and who should I come across but Helen Hetherington. I can't tell you how happy this made me feel. Helen was a totally awesome mate at fitz, one of those few people who could always make me smile, even when I didn't want too. She was one of the very few people that I was seriously peed off at meself over having lost contact with. She was away in America when we had out ball, and she moved to live with her dad somewhere straight after. I didn't know where she was living, Leanne didn't seem to know her new address, and that was bout it. I did once try to go to where she used to live to try and find out, but when I go there I realized that I wasn't sure which house it was out of 2 semi detached, and being the total wimp that I am I chickened out, but one of that matters now, cos I've found her again. we've spent hours chattin bout nothing in particular now, and I'm now totally beat, but I don't care. she's hardly changed, and it's just as if we hadn't lost contact for 2 years, it's just as east to chat to her as it ever was. The Helen's of this world are truly amazing. lol

*is a lil tired* ........zzzzzzzzzzz
03/08/07
Ok, so I've been away on guide camp for th alast few days so I've kinda got a lot to catch up on. I'll try n type it up 2-moz ( /more reasonable time today), although that may not happen since I'm headin off to new wine on sunday and I'm beat right now. I really feel like reading s'more of me Stephen Lawhead book, but I should probably go get soem sleep so as I can wake up at a reasonable time and and be at least semi concious for new wine. So yeah, I'll write more laters.

Where not to read a book
25/07/07
Recently we've been getting all the floods n stuff in Abingdon because of the insane amount of rain the UK's been getting recently. Today, I finally got to go down to the river itself with me mum and see just how much it's risen. We went our normal route, although this led to us wading through knee deep water for part of it. Twh water really has come right up
There's this one part area down by the river, right near the weir, where i often go if I want some time to meself to read and draw, or if I just want to get out of the house. It always relaxes me to just go and sit there watching the river. Now however the place that I tend to sit is under 2ft of water. Somehow I don't think that I'll be able to go down there for a while. I guess I'll just have to find somewhere else for the time being.
Another thing that I managed to do today was to erase me Zelda game from me Wii. I know that it's only a game and all that, and It shouldn't really bother me, but I'm still pretty cheesed off at meself about it. I was really enjoying it too, and now I've gotta go back to the start and it's going to take ages to get back to where I was before. No chance of any new fdiscoveries for a while then. Oh well. I guess there's nothing I can do except go over what I've done already, and try to get better at the game in general. *sighs*

cake and remote controls
I spent today at the Gilbert's baby sitting Alex (Alexandara) it was really nice to get outa the house again for a bit, for something that wasn't technically work related, and wasn't at Radley college. (although still in Radley). it was also great to see Alex again. I really can't believe that she is now 9. I still expect her to be 5. She's definitely growing up.
So yeah, whilst I was there I kinda helped her out with some oragami animal stuffs, before she decided to watch "click". I wasn't quite sure what I'd make of the film, and I found most of it quite predictable, although there was kinda one twist bout the mad scientist dude that I didn't see coming, all in all it was a very.....american.....film. Alex had never actually seen the last 10 minutes before, and so had missed the final major twist. We then watched "confessions of a teenage drama queen". I've actually read the book that this is based on at some point, so I kinda knew the basic plot. It was a typical "young teen girl" film staring Lindsay Lohan. I enjoyed it, but it's not exactly my style.
So yeah, the next thing we did was to make cake. I've been making loadsa random fairy cakes recently which turned out to be pretty helpful for today. One of he first things that we had to do was to wander down to her local shop to buy some eggs, cream and stuffs. I also brought a bag of fruit salad sweet things because I hadn't eaten them in years and I remember that I used to totally love them as a kid. As we wandered back we chatted aimlessly, ate sweets, and tried to make each other walk into trees n stuffs. Anyways, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages later we finally got around to putting the mixture in the oven, and it was finished just as Ann arrived home. We stuck the two halves of cakes together, and I headed off home with a mouthful of cake and jam. ^_^

SHREK!!!!!!......and soon and so fourth.......
16/07/07
So today started off pretty boring. I'm kinda trying to tidy up the lounge atm and it's taking an age. oh well. I'd taken a break and come one the comp to try n chat to Shelley for a bit, and was listening to some of the songs from the Shrek films that I'd tracked down on youtube when I decided that I may as well just put the film on as I continued to tidy up n stuff. I never got to watch it though because I ended up heading over to Alex's so that I could get i lift up to Dave's to play canasta with them (I'm still not quite sure what happened there, I just know that I ended up at Dave's rather that tidying up. *is much confuzzled*) So yeah, we played a coupla games of canasta. I won one (by pure luck), and I think that Dave won the next one. Throughout the game Dave had plugged his ipod into some speakers, and I was quite happy to find that there were a few of the songs from the shrek films on there, which was what I was going to watch the films for anyways. lol
We then had dave showing off his new resi4 Wii game that he's been telling me that I have to go see since he got it. It actually looked pretty good. I'm not sure if it's the sorta game that I'd buy and actually play, but I've got no problem with watching other peeps play it. It's not quite as bad as I thought it might be (although I still don't really like it when any of them loose their heads. yeugh).
So yeah, It was pretty fun just to hang out playing cards n stuff. I soooooo wish that I'd met all the cell peeps whilst I was still in school. oh well.

When else can you wear a cloak and not get laughed at???
21/07/07
So yeah. I have HP7. = D
recently I suddenly realised that this is the last HP book, and it's the only series that is getting the hype of a midnight opening. I haven't bothered to go to the last HP openings since I always seemed rather pointless/silly to me, but since this was the last chance I'd get to do it I decided to go ahead this time anyways. I ended up heading over to cloud's house with Alex to start with. Alex, Cloud n Gaz started to chat bout building/repairing Land rovers n stuff (as gaz sat at a sewing machine making the new seat covers, lol), and me and Tom just stood round talking bout a new game he's got for his PS2.
After a while we looked at the time and decided that we really should be heading into town. On the way there I simply had to run down and look at the lil bridge over the stream near Clouds house. Honest, I had no control over it. I really couldn't believe quite how high it was. Anyways, we then headed up through the lil wood bit and into town. Tom was wearing a cape thing, and when we got closer Cloud put one on too. She then handed me one and told me to put it on. SO yes, I wandered into the town centre wearing a cape. hey, quit looking at me like that. You knew I was weird before you started reading this post so you really shouldn't be all that surprised. lol. Anyways, my first impression upon arriving at the town center was of a few hundred people milling around, laughing and joking, and most of them wearing random hats or cloaks. Alex had to go get some money from a hole in the wall so that he could actually get the book, and a group of chavs started shouting bout Potter, (in a piraty accent which was kinda odd. Then again, chavs are a rather strange species). So anyways, I then put me cloak on (again) an we joined the que just outside bakers oven. Sarah, Kat and PJ were queing up too, and Pj came and chatted to us for a bit. Someone was also coming along with a kinda sorting hat. I turned out to be a slytherin. lol. They also sent someone along with a kinda sweet trolley thing that was giving out free sweets. Charlotte grabbed me a giant spider thing which was cool. At midnight everyone started to count down and on one they set off a few fireworks above the shop which was nice. Me and Charlotte then shouted "happy new year", and did our own mini rendition of "old man time". Between then and us actually getting onto the shop we also sang the Homer Simpson song (the one that goes along with the Flintstones tune), and just before we entered the shop we sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" which seemed to amuse the Lady dressed up on the door.
Anyways, at last we brought our books before headed off into the night clutching our treasures and leaving an expectant que behind.

Well, the broken glass was pretty.................
19/07/07
So yeah, today I gotta meet up with Liz, Shelley n Dave.
We started off lookin round some random shops. Me n Liz looked round primark at kiddie stuffs which was cool. Although I didn't actually buy anything due to a slight lack in the money department. Finding a whole in the wall soon sorted out this issue though.
Eventually we made it to the cinema to watch the 5th harry potter film, I have to say that although I did enjoy it, I was also a little dissapointed. The film seemed to skip great chunks of the book, and I have the feeling that it wouldn't have made all that much sense if you hadn't read the book to start with, having said that I did totally love part near the end where volly the teens and Dumbledore were running about and there was a loada shattered glass flying everywhere, I just found that part real pretty, lol
now, at this point ai was going to write s'mink else about the day, but the only not that I left to remind meself what happened was the word "quiet", and I haven't the foggiest what it's refering too. I guess it serves me right for leaving this post as bullet points for 8 months before writeg it up properly. There's a lesson to be learned here someplace.
