Welcome to Geeksville

One little though on Supernatural before I try and sleep (I stayed up to watch Glee and SPN and its now 5am and I have to be up in roughly 4 and a half hours)

( Possible spoilers so lets not risk my clavacle being ripped out )

On other news I am now a Gleek, my friend Sam will owe me his degree if he gets what he needs done by 5pm today (or maybe he could pay me the £15 he owes me. Yes it sucks being out of work and applying for 30+ jobs) and my arms, bum and thights hurt from weight training/cardio. Gonna drop me a dress size.

P.S. excellent new opening SPN credits no?

...because it makes me feel lonely and sad. *le sigh*

So I've moved into my new place in one of my favourite place in the world, London. All unpacked finally and for once I didn't take too much, in fact it all fit into Ed's small car when he came to pick me up from Leicester last week. Having arrived and dumped my bags in my room Ed and Sam decide to rape my bed and later on when I've made my bed (Purple bedding thank you!) Sam jumps on and rolls around on it groaning. Why they think it annoys me when they (mostly he) did it for most of last year in my old place is beyond me.

One of the best things about being here is I now have a proper internet connection, unlike for the past few years and can update and interact more on this finally.
And also the gym membership I still have here so I can and will shift some more weight.

Israel was amazing, as was expected. I still can't believe its over and I'm back in England and the typical rain. But hey ho, 3 weeks until I move to London in my very own house share (I'll wait for you oohs and ahhs), at least I got the room I prefered with its dimmer switch and comfy reading chair.

Considering I was a first time flyer (yes a very late bloomer) i have to say I enjoyed flying and combined with the working holiday I seem to have caught the travelling bug. Apart from the food. Urgh. Less said.

When I heard our accomadation was going to be hostel style living I wasn't expecting much but what we got was amazing, swimming pool, dining hall, shared 'house' with the rest of the women next to the men. Oh and the view! It was stunning, the three borders of Israel, Syria and Jordan meeting on the dusty mountains. Not that we could go anywhere near it, there were landmines past the boundaries of the kibbutz.

Getting up at 4.15am (2.15am GMT) got easy suprsingly quickly and I wouldn't trade the frankly back breaking work for the sunrise I got to see coming over the sea of Galilee every working morning. Sometimes when I was taking a water break i'd just stare at the sea and mount from where I was sitting and be tranfixed. Swimming in it will also be something I'll never forget, didn't have my cossie so went in in my knicker and vest. Haha. Did grope Sam when he advanced on me saying he was sans trunks, mores the pity he was lying. ;D

Visited Jerusalem as well. Its really hard for me to describe a city that made me feels so much. From seeing Jesus' tomb and smelling the surrounding incense, seeing the skyline lit up at night to visiting the Western wall and seeing hundred of people paying their respects and actually touching it and even more so feeling humbled by being there. Even down to leaving our hostel and immediatly seeing the vendors and their wares on the stone street where the floors is slippery from the millions that have walked upon it.

Needless to say I've already decided to return for the next season. Too bad its in two years.

Having said all that, getting interogated for an hour at check in was not fun. Neither was sleeping on an airport floor. But at least I wasn't strip searched!

I have my first exam in less then 10 hours, I am going to fail it, panic attack anyone?!?!

Oh Sweet Kirpke, I didnt really need any more obssessions in the way of fandoms but it looks like the advent of revison has caused me to gain two new ones in the way of Castle and The Big Bang Theory. I watched all the avaliable episodes of both in a week and done nothing in the way of revising human remians or archaeobotany. Ooopps.

Once I've done my last essay I'm gonna start writing some fanfic for stress relief. Yay!

Wow.

Kripke, while Charlie Brooker has been gifted with my virginity, you may have my first newborn in a silk blanket for this episode.

Our fandom is amazing!!! Even though I'm not on here much now due to other commitments, this has reminded me just how cool you all are.

Lifes good, actually great at the moment, went to see Patrick Wolf at Heaven and was excellently positioned as when he slide down the stair banister I got a prime/close view of his leather clad groin. Regretful that I didn't think to touch him, even Sam tried to and he's straight.

Went to Thorpe Park last week and got drenched, took my top off for a log flume photo, did end up shouting at a bunch of chavs that were intent on deafening us on the way back to the train station. They threaten to beat me up until they go off the bus and saw me join my group of 12 friends. Ha ha.

Finshed lectures for the year now, just got 2 exams, 2 essay, 2 days doing archiving and a 2 week training excavation in Sussex to go then I'll be counting down the days until I go to Israel in July when I return back to Leicester.

Love ya Xxx

(Now I'm off to write an essay about burial techniques and translations to the wider social enviroment in Ancient Greek. Fun times my people. Fun times)

How cute are these?!?! I have to have them!! Look at Ten!!!

God I haven't updated for ages, bloody uni! I'm backlogged with 5 essays to do that I was ment to do but a chest infections screwed up all my plans of world domination through the medium of Archaeology. Or not quite. I'll get a day off from writing a minimum of 300 words a day in a months time, pray people, pray.

Well, getting on with the title of this post. Every year I make a bunch of promises to myself that I 90% of the time achieve by the end of the year. Not bad really and this year is no different so here they are:


My New Years Resolutions (8 days late...)

1) Lose 25 pounds
This is very achieveable since I lost 3 stones not long back and have dropped 5 dress sizes (It used to be 6... *sigh*). Uni's completely ruined me and my exersise and diet have gone out f the window. I've put on a stone and have gone up a dress size to a 12/14.  Am attending a Rosemary Conley class tomorrow to give me the kick up the arse I need, her diet worked last time so hopefully again.

2) Train to do a 10km run
I can already do 5km but again I havent run for 3 months so I'm going back to basics and using a training plan to get back into it. Added onto this uses the uni gym that I've already paid for.

3) Drink alot less
The past 3 months I've drank more I've done in my life, pre-uni I drank 5 times a year max, now it's 3 times a week getting hammered and faling in bins (technically I didn't thanks to Sam grabbing me when I collided with the bin but he still counts it as) and I don't like what it's doing to me; weight gain, spots etc. I'm still keeping the social side active but sticking to the diet drink without the alcohol. 3 months is enough for me.

4) Write on here more!!!
I've been neglecting lj for a while and I plan on changing that, first by redoing my page because it's not really me now and updating twice a month at least.

5) Save money!!!!!
Not explanation needed.

Well now I need to get on with 2 essays that have to be handed in on Monday. One last thing for me to add...


HAPPY NEW YEARS MY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!!!

Xxxx

Come on America, show the world wrong and why your the super power you are!

Vote Obama.

It affects everyone.

Fucking devarstated doesn't even cut it, I actually gasped when I heard the news.

This show means more to me then anything I've ever watched, his doctor is the one that's made me laugh, scream, shout, cry and throw every other emotion at the tv screen. I've been the kid with the dustbin on her head and traffic cone on her arm shouting 'Exterminate!' while getting stuff thrown at me, I've fallen off a chair I've been that excited and sweared at the tv I've been that angry. It's completely spanned my life and while I knew he wouldn't be in it forever I'm sad that he's decided to leave. He was my favourtie actor before and still will be.

If this makes me sad then I really don't care.

*Iz downloading Ten Inch Hero thanks to blackbirdj2 *

Best birthday prezzie ever!!!!! All I need to do now is get my greacy mitts on The Christmas  Cottage.

*Has spazing fit.*

Will post on my actual birthday party on how much I got wasted later on in the day, with some trully awful photos of me looking like a man in drag!

I am 21 today!!

Oh Jensen

That is all.

My backs decided to go loco on me. I've been stuck in bed for hours trying to move and it's only just now that I can move it a little bit. I'm not best pleased, I've missed two lectures and I was suppost to see my tutor to pick up an essay. I feel like crying.

It's not been the same since camping at the West Dean estate for Prim-Tech, sure I had a great time getting to know everyone on my course but I'm kinda thinking it wasn't worth this constant numb pain that I've had in my back since which has now crippled me. Looks like someone might have to switch her course, I really can't do any camping again.

It was my flatmates 19th and we went to nando's and it started gettin really bad. I'm suppost to be going out tonight to Club Neon, Matthews coming down for my birthday tomorrow and I don't know what to do. It's almost 3.30pm and I'm not even dressed, I haven't been able to eat, wash my face, do my hair etc. What the fuck body?!?!?!

I'm just going to dope myself up on painkillers and muscle relaxers and hope for the best. Yay!! I get to go down to a doctors I've never been to before and try to explain that the normal painkillers have no effect on me and that I really need to see a specialist while they just ignore me and perscribe said painkillers.

*sigh* Oh boys, I love your filler episodes their always so funny.

My thoughts:

"Rehymenated" - Snort, laugh wtf?! Dean Winchester a born again virgin, you must be laughing. God may be able to perform miracles but even he would have to make a pact with the devil to pull that one off. Lol

Is it wrong that I find Jensen's knee's attractive. Wow to the laderhosen, he most defintely can keep those on in bed.

Sam looking impossibly fit and cute at the same time during this episode, tall men in suits has got to be a major thing of mine and luckily SPN caters for me.

All in all one of my fav episodes,  gotta love those dudes. *g*

PS I'm 21 in 7 days, cannot bloody wait. Bought a pre-bday gift to myself. A beautiful pink trench coat from Topshop that is a size 10. I know I've put on a bit of weight since I moved here (one month now!!) but at least I'm the same size. Thew! My mates got his train tickets booked so we can paint the town red when he comes. Haven't decided whether to let him share my bed or make him sleep in my sleeping bag. Questions, questions...

I really thought I'd be spending most of my 21st alone what with no one from leicester being able to get down to London but then I get a text from my best friend, Matthew asking me if I wanted to know some good news. I thought that it was something like he's going to be getting a 1st for his degree which would be amazing and I'd be so proud of him but no, its that he's coming down for the weekend over my birthday. I told him that I'd love it if he could come down anytime and not to worry if he couldn't because I'd rather he work on his dissertation then hang out with me but to do this for me is fantastic I'm still smiling now. I've known him for 14 years and he's still the only person I feel completely comfortable around. He's told me that out of all the people he knows I'm going to be the one to get a 1st class degree and do amazing. It's stuff like that that makes me get myself out of my black cloud moments. I was ment to be taking him out for dinner as a thank you for him helping me move down here (he was hediously hung over) but I mentioned that it might not be appropriate what with he 'sort of seeing' someone now but he texted me back telling me I'm his friend and if she didn't like it she could piss off. I can sort of see why all his gf's hate me on sight but boo to them. Nothing has or ever will happen like that so it's their problem.

I'm gonna stop gushing now/

On the uni front, went out for a 2nd years 21st, got drunk on 3 drinks and made a pass at one of the men on my course. I'm intentionally an ice queen in leicester so I have no idea wtf is wrong with me here. But the works going okay, I'm starting to understand it a bit better and am going to spend the weekend catching up on my reading and just generally be a good girl. I might as well, I already get all my reading from the IoA library on that day cause it's empty.

*Gets on tinhat*

Am super excited about SPN tonight, my lovely boys together *le sigh* I sometimes get the feeling that between my bff, Jared and Jensen ll other men have been ruined for me. I could probably put up with that. Haha I could really do with just vegging out in front of my laptop and watching the boys, I've been feeling a bit run down this week which has nothing at all to do with me going out for a few drinks.

Got my first assignment back, and I scored 56%. Thats a 2:2 but I'm still pissed with myself, I know I could have got better; done better. I got pulled up on my grammer and spelling which I knew I would be seeing as no matter how many time I proof read I get the lettres in the wrong order. My friend Amy said I should go for a dyslexia test. I don't think I've got it as I've managed with me reading things slightly wrong all my life and managed just fine. Almost got banned from an exam when I misread the time (my brain just kept telling me a different time! lol) Thats what spell checks for after all!!

Mondays are officially Archaeology piss up night, theres an array of drunken photos as my camera got whored out, plenty of me lying on people in a drunked haze. It started going down hill when we went for food at a pub and instead of the veggie burger I ordered I got given a beef burger. Now I've had veggie burgers that look like the real thing so I assumed... wrongly it turns out when I took a huge bite and almost heaved. Got a very alcoholic cocktail as a sorry. Thats how it always starts.

So I can't quite remember how to make those nasty assed links look more pretty so it'll have to do. Never have I looked so hot. lol Actually to be truthful those photos make me want to lose 2 stones. I look so heavy compared to everyone else, ewww.

Some massive bell-end keeps setting the fire alarm off at Schafer. It went off at 11:30am while I was eating my breakfast and had to go out into the world looking like shit rolled in more shit.

I am going to kill the bastard, this is the fifth time since I moved in and the 2nd time in the space of 14 hours.

Sorry for yesterdays post, twas v. drunk. Incidently on 4 drinks. Never let it be said that if not nothing else, a lightweight.

So. I'm meant to be doing reading for my lectures. I've got it into my head that I should re-read the last few weeks reading requirments and make shortnotes on them. Other 2nd years look at me and tell me it's a waste of time but I dn't like to feel underprepaired and I am paying (well to me anyway) lot of money to study here and I want to be 'the best that I can be'. It doesn't help that I have an essay to hand in on Monday that I haven't even done the research for, luckly it's only a pratice essay so they can see if we're any good. If I do really well thenn I'm setting myself to failure for the rest of my degree and if I do badly then hopefully they'll give me a hand.

Another thing that's been bothering me. While I made the effort to try and read 'the bible' (the name I've giving to the one text book on archaeology that they asked us to buy cause UCL as it's own arch bibliotech), I till don't understand alot of what their saying in my lectures, apart from Greek archaeology. I'm praying that it'll all just dawn on me and that I won't feel like the most stupidest person in the lecture hall for much longer. I went into this degree never studied Archaeology ever, only History and Ancient History, you don't need to know anything  before hand but I still feel like the smallest fish in a massive ocean.

I never realised this before, but Archaeologist (In-training or otherwise) are all a bunch of alkies. My lecturer sat on our table during prim-tech (a 4 day camping thingy in sussex for bonding/practile experience - No fucking showers or washing facilities for 4 days basically) during a quiz and was absolutly pissed and prosseded to shake my dynamo torch and saying, 'This is the most satifaction I'm going to get all night' . Mondays are now 'lets go down the union and get wasted' nights.

There are no Indiana Jones/Daniel Jacksons on my course apart from one guy who is impossibly pretty/handsome with the most amazing face and eyelashes. Im quite jealous of those eyelashes.
 
Yeah. I should really do sometihng productive beofore I retire to my bed. Make a list of all the reading I need to get form the library tomorrow and then never read it? Sounds like a plan....
