Omg she got off the plane!

Friends season finale for the fourth time since I started this blog. How amusing.

Quite surprising to me, sort of, as I haven't really been watching Friends this past run through.

Anyway, yes, the past few days I suppose.

On Monday, I spent most of the day being cool and playing Burnout Paradise, finishing about 50 events and 50 road rules to get the Burnout Elite License, which is now awesome.

On Tuesday, it was Matty's barbecue which was nice, as there was a steakwich and some burgers. Fun day really, as I saw some friends for the first time in a week or so. Also figured out the reason as to why I stopped playing Nuts & Bolts, which is because it was so boring. I may finish the story, but I just can't be bothered.

Today was quite mediocre, got my hair cut and attempted to learn the Single Ladies dance for Prom, which isn't going so well. However, got around to getting ScummVM working so I can play me some Monkey Island.

Obviously also watching Friends season finale, which has just finished. Planning to spend the evening being a pirate in Monkey Island 2, and maybe go back to finally finish Half Life 2: Episode 2. Maybe Oblivion and try to go through the side quests as well as the actually quests, as I managed to avoid most of them last time. Also trying to see if I can spend some money on Firebox to take advantage of a 20% off offer they're having.

Anyway, farewell!

Oops, I did it again.

Ooh, how very reminicising of Britney Spears. But yes, I haven't posted again, in a week. I'm starting to fail at this. Oh well.

I'm now enjoying Folie à Deux, mainly because of the FBR bands. I'm also enjoying Live Your Life (feat. Rihanna) by T.I., because it has fun sounds. I am also liking Once Upon a Christmas Song, by Geraldine McQueen, and I've been singing it over and over and over again. However, I am not liking iTunes DRM, as it is preventing me from listening to stuff on my 360.

School = done. Until January. Mock = done, 57%, not bad. ICT6 = started, finished four marks worth. ICT5b = not done anything. Oops.

Music concert on Tuesday was quite fun. Me and Hayley laughed a lot. And I didn't screw up too bad.

OMG HEROES SEASON FINALE! wtf with Sylar and wtf with Ando being all meta now. Who knows.

Meal was fun. My Cajun Chicken was very nice, lots of chips, and the Chocolate Fudge Cake was nice too. Good fun, aye. However, uploading the photos to Facebook was not. From my camera, I imported everything to iPhoto, and started to tag everyone in the photos with the plugin. Uploaded all the photos with my tags showing, approved them. Then, Facebook deletes all my tags. So I then had to tag everyone again. How silly.

The IT Crowd on Friday amused me.

It doesn't feel like Christmas is in four days. Maybe because the only indication of Christmas in my room is my wallpaper, which Windows Live Messenger is covering anyway. I can see a bit of a bauble. Look.

Hmm.

Doritos: Dash of Destruction or whatever, was the easiest 200 gamerscore ever. In Burnout Paradise, 10 months later, I have discovered all events. Took bloody long enough.

Interview with Staffordshire has been requested. On the same day as the Teesside one, though, which is just bad planning.

20k track plays on Last.fm reached this week, with I Don't Care by Fall Out Boy.

I need to start using del.icio.us more. But it's Delicious now. But I prefered the .'s. Oh well. Anyway, I feel that using it would allow me to close the tabs I've had open about food, WoW Gear and song lyrics, that have been open for many weeks now.

I don't think I can fit anything else into this post, to be honest.

Based on my recent schedule, I'll be posting again in 168 hours time.

Obviously I won't, because it's my sisters birthday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the day after Boxing Day between then. See you on the other side.

I need to say that more.

14Dec/08

I need to post more regularly.

I really do. As otherwise, I say nothing, then I have really long and silly posts. Like this one.

For university, I have two offers of 260 UCAS tariff points to Derby and Sheffield Hallam, and I have been requested to go to an interview for a potential offer for Teesside. However, the interview is scheduled right on top of my exams in January, which in all honesty, is quite inconvenient. However, I do have an offer for my favourite university, which is awesome.

Hmm. In Burnout Paradise, I got my Burnout License. Only 105 events to go until I get my Burnout Elite license. Yayy. Something like that, anyway.

I was quite ill last week. And to anyone that was wondering, that still doesn't know, I was asleep in the week. I just felt completely dead, and was coughing up blood and stuff like that.

Nationwide finally sent me the cheque for their silly accounts merger thing. Therefore I have £50, which should be nice to spend on something. Rock Band 2, or maybe some dollars. As it's Vegas in eight weeks.

That kind of scares me, however, as that means exams are in five. Two Maths modules, one Physics module and one ICT module, plus a General Studies module that'll finish my AS off. I've got some good resources though, all of the ICT and Maths papers with Physics coming next week, as well as a very useful ICT textbook.

However, I am currently not learning from the resources. They just exist. Like, I have a Maths mock in the next few days, and I am still not aware of C3 trigonometry. Or, on the coursework side of things, I've done very little towards the ICT that was due in on Friday, (to be honest, I was really ill, to the extent that I wasn't on the computer for most of the week) and absolutely nothing at all towards the stuff that's due in this week. And overall in Physics, I haven't really thought about it.

I should probably do some Maths or ICT now, but blogging about not doing it is much more interesting.

Hmm, other things. In World of Warcraft, I hit Level 80. And I'm slowly gaining Level 80 gear that's replacing my outdated Level 70 gear, which is good. 2800-odd achievement points too.

Fall Out Boy's new album is quite fun, not really enjoying it yet. I'm sure I will soon.

Bowling for Barndardo's tomorrow. I don't have a sponsor envelope yet. I could see that being a problem to be honest. I do have all my money, so I just need to sneak into the office and get one. Should be fun.

I think that's everything, to be honest. Should be fun seeing someone tomorrow, haven't seen anyone since Wednesday two weeks back. Awh.
