Thank you Michael Jackson [Jun. 26th, 2009|08:05 am]
[mood | sad]

I know it's dreadfully cheesy of my to do this, and I know most people feel the same but Michael Jackson was a HUGE part of my childhood! Some of my strongest childhood memories involve dancing around the living room to his music. It also takes me back to a time when my Granddad was still with us. He knew how much I loved him so bought my a MJ video. It was the making of Thriller and a documentary about his life. I watched it religiously despite the fact I had to fast forward the part where he turned into a werewolf as it was just a little too scary for 5 year old me.

I also remember running to my granddad's room (the garage was converted into my granddad's lounge... a place where he could smoke his cigarettes and listen to his classical music in peace) with Dangerous, the CD in my hands and I dropped it on the hard floor and scratched it so badly it wouldn't play any more. I cried for hours!

I really am very saddened by this. I know he faded away a long time ago, but no one really wanted him to disappear completely. The world wasn't ready for that yet.

Writer's Block: Places to Lay Your Head [May. 26th, 2009|09:46 am]

How many different places (cities, houses, apartments, dorm rooms, etc.) have you lived in? Which is your favorite? And your least favorite?


View 503 Answers

I have lived in 8 different places.
I remember 7 of them.... ok 6 of them if we need details.

Crawley Down when i was a new born...Willetsbridge Cottage, East Grinstead till i was 4... (this place was AMAZING... huge old cottage... my family are forever telling creepy tales about it.  Ducks would frequent the garden as we lived near the reservoir. Then we moved to 2 Wisden Avenue, Burgess Hill. A 4 bedroom detached house with a double garage because it was the former show home on the new estate. I remember this house really well, and had the strange experience of going back to the house when i was about 15 as I knew the boy who lived there...his room was my parents old room.

When I was 9 things got a bit shit, my parents divorced soon after the death of my granddad. Mum, my sister and I shared one room in 4 Ware Court, Burgess Hill for 6 months, my grandma's flat... But then 6 Ware Court came up for sale, so we moved upstairs! A 3 bedroom flat, it was rather small, especially when me and Gaby became teenagers... but that is where i did my growing up, my crying, my loving, my laughing, becoming me... so it will always be the place i remember most.

At 18, i left for University and moved into 11C Bishopden Court, Park Wood, University of Kent. This was the best and worst place to live. Best because I was freee, free from home but I had no say over my housemates! There was Tom, a very quiet boy who ALWAYS vomited when he went out drinking. Rebecca who i introduced to my friend Paul who i knew from home, they promptly got together (and still are together now) so I had to listen to them having sex, or her singing for 9 months. She played the same Imogene Heap song every day for 9 months... My sanity really was tested. My room was a tip... and when i first moved in it had fleas. So for fresher’s week I was COVERED in hideous very swollen flea bites... it wasn't great... but it became my home. I have very very fond memories of living in park wood mostly because of the wonderful people i met. My room was notoriously messy and there is a famous picture on facebook somewhere…and I’ve just spent an hour looking for it… I can’t find it…basically, there is just crap EVERYWHERE. Good times.

 

Second year of university saw me move into 8 Montfort close… It was a pokey little house that was too cold in winter and way way way way too hot in summer, but it was home. My room was small which meant it was a mess for the majority of the time. I have mixed memories of this place… mostly because some tensions which occurred between me and my housemates…

 

3rd Year of university! 2 Westerham Close! AKA, The PALACE. This house is beautiful and I am going to be so sad to leave. MY room is huge, I have a bureau, life is ever so good. Im happy. House discrepancies have been minimum and petty, the house is always clean, there are 4 of us who pull our weight and another two who don’t… but hey, that’s life. Im very happy here.

 

I don’t want to pick a favourite, all have their ups and downs and all helped shape who I am today.

I move into a bungalow with my boyfriend soon….  Life is exciting.

I actualy Love [Aug. 9th, 2007|01:28 pm]
[mood | ecstatic]

Kate Nash's Album...i cant help it...it's just sooo easy to listen to, her accent doesn't even bother me anymore.
I love every song, even the song i didn't like at first is growing on me.


This line sums me up perfectly.
{ I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three.}

*le sighhh*

Going up to norfuck next week to see faithy, should be interesting to say the least.

I am in complete shock.

Zach O Connor, a 17 year old boy in my sisters year died last night in a car crash.
Joe Brady, my best friends brother was driving.
Another girl was air lifted to hospital.

I litterally have no words.....
Im going to the crash site to lay flowers.

I have no idea what to say.

Destroyed [Mar. 30th, 2007|03:57 pm]
[mood | exhausted]

Oh how I wish i functioned better on 1 1/2 hours sleep.
It's like my entire body cant handle being sleep deprived, even slightly, what a wimp!

Last night was...errmmm, to be honet im not very sure.
It was really fun, i know that and nothing REALLY bad happened and there was one point where everyone had their arms around each other singing and i really really felt content, you know?
I couldn't ask for better friends, I couldn't.
I am devestated that tonight is it, i haven't even began packing because i think I will cry when I do.

Im home for 6 weeks.... SIX WEEKS? Thats like the summer holidays?
And then only 3 more weeks back here and then its summer all over again.
Why is it going so fast :(
(Because im happy, that's why)

The evening last night was nice, everyone now being in a couple (practicaly) went home to their repsected others, i was bitter and refused to go home and sit in fromt of my computer so i went and sat and chatted to Lewis for a while and ate pop corn and drank Newquick, which was a good call as i am food-less currently. We played a bit of Golden Axe and then just chatted for a while, tottally innocent, but nice none the less. I sobered up in a dignifyed way at least, hahah, computer games and pop corn apparently encorage sober behaviour.

I better get ready, iv been sleeping pretty solidly today so I should feel less dead now.
Looking forward to a chicken burger and a pint of coke to start off MY drinking session.
Im knackered.

"I've loved you for so long, I don't know how i'd feel without"

Im in a weird mood.
The Science of Sleep was good, not as great as I wanted it to be, I had set too high expectations me thinks.

Every thing is turning into lasts as Term draws to a close. There is going to be one huge come down after my first weekend at home once i realise that that is where im staying for a month. So far my first attempt at getting friends together on Saturday has failed misrebly, i text 10 people, got 4 replies, 3 of which were No, 1 Yes.
*le sigh*

I don't even know why Im posting.
Im feeling a bit blue and I don't even know why.
I don't really want to go home.......

My head hurts today.
Ouch.

I've been up since 7am and i think its very almost time for me to go back to sleep.
Im pooped.
Alex is on his way here, which is perfect timing as today i woke up with a temperature, it's gone down now as i popped some tylanol (mmm, american strength painkillers) but im scared i am actualy getting ill.
A fever is not a good sign.

Im exhausted, looking forward to a night cuddled up with my loved one.

Waiting for my mum to give me a lift to work, late, again.
*sigh*

My prom was on friday and it was really good fun, the limo ride was ace, as was the company.
The only downer of the night was that i just couldn't get drunk, no matter how much alcoho i consumed i always felt about 10 times more sober then everyone else there.
I don't think the three course meal helped that battle.

My eye keeps spasming, it's like constant annoyance, I want it to stop. :(

My first exam is on Tuesday, there are still MASSIVE gaps in my knowledge, im just praying that the questions that come up are ones that I know, very very well.

I just want to get these exams out of the way, I want to go to uni so badly, I really do, I have no idea what to do if i don't get in. meeh.

Enjoy the sunshine while you can.
