I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Ok, I have some explaining to do. Names keep cropping up of people and friends and what-not, so I shall explain who everyone is now so there is no more confusion.
Emily:
We were schedualed to go for a "Welcome Talk" to welcome us into university at something like 1:30pm. However, having only really met the girls in my flat, I agreed to go shopping with them and by the time we got back, the welcome talk for my group was well and truly over. Being teenagers we thought, oh whatever and went into one much later. I sat next to Emily thinking she looked the least likely to judge me immediately for who I was. It was when the guy at the front said "welcome to the journalism welcome talk, can we take a register please?" that I realised I really wasn't supposed to be there. I whispered this to Emily and realised we were probably going to get along fine when she silently laughed her head off. The rest of the talk was spent laughing at the lecturer at the front giving the worst welcome speec I have ever heard and so we left in high spirits. Then was the legendary "headphone disco" where me and Emily almost literally bumped into each other again and spent all night flicking between the channels and doing mad dancing followed by lots of drinking and terrible singing that managed to vacate the back of the Tower Bar of everyone except us. Since then, we've been pretty much best friends. We eat cherry flavoured... anythings, we talk a lot, watch a lot of movies, eat a lot of junk food and pretty much know everything about each other. She invited me to live in her house after the first few weeks of university, but it seems I am stuck in this luxurious hellhole for this year at least. I love Emily to pieces even if she can be very rude about music that is not to her taste, but like she says, I am the worst Goth in the world.

Matt:
Her even ruder housemate, often can be found wandering round in a rather camp night gown, wearing a rather camp amount of styling gel in his hair and slavering his face with Emily's foundation in a rather camp way. I'd've thought he was gay too. He's fun to talk to when bored, fun to laugh at when he's failing at chugging beer from a funnel and even funnier to scare, but we won't go into that night at Walkabout...

Jo and Dan:
I would write about these two seperately, but I don't really know them seperately. They are the sort of couple who make other people in a couple horribly jeleous. They do everything together including eating, sleeping and probably breathing... Although I have not found any strong evidence to proove the last one yet. Jo is one of the quirkiest girls alive who fills her world with fairy lights, animation, green hair dye and of course Dan. Dan is really rather strange who also fills his world with animation, acting in Jo's many different videos, trying to be funny, being Sarcastic and of course Jo. I have never seen one of these two without the other for more time than it takes to use the bathroom.

SunWen and BaoBao:
The two Chinese girls in my flat and I swear they could give Gordon Ramsey a run for his money, they cook the most delicious food ever and also the most healthy. They are always smiling, always trying to improve their English and as of recently Baobao is working at teaching me to speak Chinese (I'm a slow learner!) I would do anything for these girls and it always makes me smile when I see them happy or with friends or talking to their family who of course still live in China.

Hannah, Shanah and Sarah:
The English girls in my flat. Shanah and Sarah are definitely sheep following Hannahs almighty rein over the apartment, but they are a lot more polite and a lot easier to get on with than their rude, two-faced, spoilt brat of a leader, Hannah. As you can tell, I am certainly not one of the sheep, although I do pretend to be around them just to make my life a little easier.

Today.
I really haven't done much today in the means of productivity, although the hour I spent in Morrisons has to be said was quite an achievement on my part. Trying to purchase less than £20 worth of food when it also has to be gluten-free is not an easy thing to do but I managed it and have to say the lack of need for pasta was a great help.

I spent most of the day checking up on money. Canon owe me £50 cash back from a deal on an EOS 450DSLR I bought (it's beautiful!) and apparently I haven't heard anything from them because the application for the £50 takes up to 28 working days. Student finance, who still ahve my birth certificate, have said it may be up to 4 weeks before I receive a penny of my student loan which really is quite upsetting. I should be receiving a new, and fairly cheap sim card for my phone by the end of the week, that is if Royal Mail have got over their little hissy fit about machines and what not and start actually doing their jobs properly.

My biggest worry was about the video project we have to have completed by 20/11/09:
Make a documentary about a persons life. They must be interesting and not a student. At first we were going for a glamour model who is known by one of the girls in our group but she is currently holidaying in France. Then we thought we had got our break, another of the girls was comissioned to photoshoot the Lily Allen! Unfortunately security was far too tight and this was not possible. So instead we are going to ask a photographer if we can do the documentary on him. We'll ahve to see how it goes.

I went for a job interview with one of the companies controlling the temporary "Lincoln on Ice" Ice-rink yesterday and didn't get the job. On the downside I missed the chance to work for £6 an hour, on the upside I won't be missing Cristmas with my family which is one prospect I was dreading.

So things to do are sort out the Maoam wrappers, clothes strewn, books bomb of a room I live in and try and find an innocent looking cuddly toy in a charity shop for my next lot of work for photography. Also I need to learn my lines to play Kelly. She is a character created by a 3rd year student doing the same course as me and is the main character of a 20minute film about the shell shock eaction of a soldier returning from Afghanistan. The script is excellent, the camera angles I can imagine will look stunning and I can't wait to start filming!

Now I shall go and work on feeling better. Tata for now.

  1. We don't have personalities of our own. That's why we're never apart. People would realise how boring we really are.
