General Update

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:20:41 GMT

As I am rather lame at telling people news, and updating this journal, I thought I better list a few bits of major news ..

1 - I have moved to Kentish Town – have been there since beginning of August. It's a very nice house that I share with Murphy and a few of his friends, we have a massive bedroom and a nice little garden. Weird living with so many people again, especially as I’m not totally at ease with all of them, but that will come. Can’t believe I still haven’t made it to Camden shopping yet (due to guilt over uni work and lack of money) although we have been making the most of the vast number of pubs and off licenses within minutes of the house ;-) have been suffering many debilitating hangovers ..

2 – My masters in Library & Information studies is almost over. I have been working on my dissertation which is due in a couple of weeks time. Bit disappointed that it wont be a master piece but I’m getting to the stage that I just want to done! If anyone cares it’s a critical analysis of the Subject Classification of James Duff Brown. (go google that if you’re bored)

3 – I have a new job! I start on 26th September in the library of a law firm. Should be exciting to work in a busy environment but I’m having some doubts about working with so many lawyers, and wondering if it would be more rewarding to work in public sector. Either way, it’ll be good experience and it’s a good excuse for clothes shopping ;-) This also means I can stop working weekends and spend them with my friends having adventures ;-)

Well that was rather boring .. will try harder in future ;-)

Moving

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 15:39:50 GMT

I'm moving house! I'm moving house! To Kentish Town! WHOO!

No longer will my average journey home take 1 1/2 hours! What will I do with all this extra time? sleep, drink & me merry! woooo!

Southampton

Fri, 05 May 2006 17:56:40 GMT

Am going to be in southampton in a couple of weeks time - friday (19th) to sunday - so are people around? anything exciting going on?

I AM hardcore

Sun, 30 Apr 2006 18:18:18 GMT

I did manage to work all day saturday, watch movies all night and work a full day on sunday! I should thank caffeine tho, only missed 5 minutes of the second two episodes (was woken by laughter) and almost fell asleep into my sudoku after lunch today but revived after more coffee :-)

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 IS as funny as I remember and I'm wondering how many episodes I actually saw (they did almost 200) seeing as I had seen parts of at least 3 out of the 4 they showed, but then maybe the good ones are the ones that get re-run the most. There were these two guys (a little too geek) who actually built the two main robots from the series and the robots spent the night sitting in the front row, they got lots of free cool stuff for putting in the effort, and it was well deserved they were *perfect*.

Anyway, must remember around this time next year as they're planning to do it again, and with enough planning may be able to drag more people along :-)

For Mr Square Head :-)

BOING BOING BOING

I have a laptop!

Fri, 24 Mar 2006 10:23:07 GMT

Ha ha ha! I can access the internet from my bed! I can play civ 4 without getting out from the cosiness. Life is good.

Love is ..

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 10:37:32 GMT

.. dancing to ska
.. dancing to ska after falling down some nasty stairs and have a few *very* nasty bruises (we're talking the size of a CD and a nice yellow/purple combo)
.. knowing what D & D stand for
.. playing a D & D board game
.. playing a D & D board game when you're ill and just want to cry and sleep a lot
.. washing your boyfriends dreads, even when it means he'll smell like wet dog for days ..

and that just about sums up my weekend ..

Hopefully you are both having too much fun to read this but ..

Happy Birthday to eternatyawaits & no_fun_adrian! I can't believe you're 21! It's outrageous!

Have a good weekend and don't make yourself too sick!

5 Habits

Sun, 18 Dec 2005 19:40:54 GMT

Ground rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who you want to tag.

1. I meow. A lot. Especially when drunk and walking home on my own I can be heard to softly 'mew mew' to myself.
2. When sharing a bed I need to sleep on the side closest to the door, or at least not next to the wall.
3. I need to tell my boyfriend I love him everyday or he might forget.
4. I always projectile vomit to save my clothes & shoes (this can be at someone else’s expense)
5. I fall asleep on any train/bus/car ride

I tag:

fraggleshock, fish_liberator, i_am_hardcore, muppetspanker, sirjustice

all because the lady loves ..

Watch Out!

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 14:10:21 GMT

I can drive! Legally and everything! Yay me!

All by myself ..

Sat, 19 Nov 2005 12:12:51 GMT

Looks like I'll be the sole person in charge of the library for the next 8 hours ..

CILIP library

Thu, 17 Nov 2005 14:34:59 GMT

I'm in a library for librarians *giggle* I don't know why I find that so funny .. although I somehow thought this library would have special rules and I'd be allowed to eat, but ooo no, had to eat sandwiches outside with fingers almost falling off .. my own fault ..

Much addictive fun ..

Failure

Wed, 26 Oct 2005 13:05:36 GMT

Stupid evil bitch whore driving examiner failed me!

Only had 8 minors (thought I'd done much worse) but as 3 were for not checking mirrors when changing speed (??) and 3 were for steering (not something I usually have a problem with) I failed!

Grr .. have to wait over a month before I can go again as instructor is going on holiday, and it's so fucking expensive ..

I have a new job!

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 13:55:13 GMT

This weekend was the last I shall be free for a while, and I spent most of it feeling rubbish or sleeping after catching some nasty bug from my mum :-( Also a shame I was so ill as Al was staying and I don't think I made a very good host ..

Start my new job on Sunday at BBP (in Holborn) it's where they train future lawyers so I get to stay in the area of law while getting some experience in academia, which is useful as that's where I'm thinking of heading .. I'll be a 'weekend information assistant' which means working 10.30-8pm Saturdays & Sundays, which does kinda suck but I need the money and the experience will be good, although I get the feeling the job wont be all that challenging ..

The Masters however, is rather more 'challenging' - Harder than I thought it would be, but then I don't think I spent much time thinking about it before I started .. It feels a lot less practical and more philosophical than I expected, lots of nice vague questions about 'what is information?' and 'will libraries have any physical presents in the future?' .. rather scared that most of the assessment is going to be by essays as I don't think I've written one since GCSE ..

Was feeling like I was going a bit crazy with nothing to do with my days and no money to do anything with but now the studying is in full swing and I have a job again I'm feeling much happier :-)

Student Life

Thu, 29 Sep 2005 08:47:48 GMT

Definitely feeling very very lazy/apathetic - just want to drink tea and watch TV all day (which I did suspect is what would happen when I became a student again) .. However I don’t even seem to have the motivation to go out and drink & meet people which is worrying .. just want to be a hermit ..

Last Day

Fri, 02 Sep 2005 11:23:25 GMT

Feeling quite sad :-( Wasn't feeling that bad until someone gave me a farewell card (with lots of red tape around it :-) Not sure if I'm sad to be leaving or sad that I wont see various people for a while ..

Swings & Roundabouts

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:59:53 GMT

Well I think the interview went well, managed to answer all the questions (except one evil evil one but I think I got there in the end) Did do the whole interview in a nervous squeaky voice but hopefully didn't come across to much like a little girl. Did feel like a little girl, the building’s all new and shiny all glass with unnecessarily tall & wide corridors .. Way too much of a grown up place for me to work .. will find out by the end of next week ..

Really would like the job .. especially as the c**ting AHRB have decided not to give me any money BOO 
Good thing I’ve been saving to pay for fees etc. but annoying as I have spent that money many times over in my head .. ah well

Am feeling pretty good, think it’s the adrenaline still pumping ..

Interview

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 09:53:47 GMT

Have an interview at a law firm tomorrow for part time library/information work - scary-exciting!!

Birthday Fun-ness

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 19:06:51 GMT

It has been decided (more or less) that friday 12th August we shall be going to Sin City at Electric Ballroom as part of the birthday celebrations .. haven't been before but I'm curious and as it's less goth these days people can't complain!

My tooth hurts :-( Being wise isn't as much fun as I'd hoped :-(
